Chapter 68: Scraps
This thought was only in his mind for a while, and then he was put behind by He Lingjiang and focused on the hidden array in front of him.
She looked at the wooden house in the mist and asked, "Is it possible for the Dao Leader to break the formation?" ”
Xuan Wei was not very confident in his heart: "The poor Dao is not as good as the senior brother in the occult arts, and the formation he personally laid out, I may be able to break it, but I have no certainty of victory." ”
"In that case, let me do it." He Ling Jiang said.
Xuan Wei loosened his eyebrows, and his face was a little more relaxed: "I can't ask for it." Poor Dao follows the Seven Ladies, and you can also learn from the side. ”
He Ling Jiang smiled: "The Taoist is too famous." ”
She looked around the bamboo house again, and she had a count in her mind.
In this kind of formation, if outsiders want to enter, if the person who does not set up the formation takes the initiative to withdraw from the formation, they have to find the right direction step by step and go to the center.
The hidden array in front of me is evolved from the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, and the eight trigram directions are Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui, corresponding to the northwest, due north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, and west.
The central bucket is called Wuhuang, which is where the bamboo house is located.
Those who set up the formation usually start with Qian, but Xuanyang is not in this formation, and they still have to enter the formation to distinguish one or two.
She turned her head sideways and told He Zheng and Xuanwei and the others: "You follow closely behind me, pay attention to your step, don't take a wrong step." ”
He Zheng nodded, since the Seventh Lady said so, it seems that there is a way to break the formation.
He Lingjiang raised his feet and stepped into the formation from due south, and as soon as he entered the formation, he felt that the fog around him was instantly thicker.
She concentrated, observed for a moment, moved slightly, took three steps to the southeast, and then advanced five steps to the northwest, and He Zheng and Xuanwei behind her also hurriedly followed.
However, in just a few steps, the scenery in front of you is very different, and there is no trace of the previous mountains and bamboo houses, only a thick fog lingers in front of you.
He Lingjiang closed her eyes, and the surrounding terrain appeared in her mind one by one: "Keep up." ”
Saying the movements under their feet, they had already taken a few more steps in a few breaths, and He Zheng and Xuanwei didn't dare to be careless, and followed closely.
On the hill and under the gen, the southwest is Kun, and then the Xun is close to the exchange, to the center of the fight, so it is to break the formation.
He Lingjiang stopped and opened his eyes, the fog around him had lifted, and the bamboo house was in front of him.
"It's broken!"
Xuan Wei sighed in his heart, he broke this formation so easily, He Qi Niangzi was on the occult arts, which was really beyond the reach of the Xuanshi who had practiced for many years.
He Lingjiang lifted his skirt and walked up the steps in front of the bamboo house, He Zheng walked a few steps briskly, and stepped forward to push open the door of the bamboo house.
She took the large umbrella sideways, raised her feet and walked into the house, and saw that the interior scene was very different from the dilapidated appearance.
In the middle of the room was a low table with a teapot on top, two futons spread next to it, and a bookshelf on the left was full of volumes.
He ordered Jiang and the others to step forward and turn over the scrolls one by one, but they were just some Taoist classics, or booklets that recorded the methods of alchemy talismans.
They rummaged through the room from top to bottom, knocking on the walls and floor to see if there were any hidden grids, but in the end they couldn't find any clues.
He Lingjiang stood in the middle of the room and looked around, the things on the table were neatly collected, with pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and rune paper dansha beside it.
She stepped forward again, opened the porcelain box containing cinnabar on the case, and stretched out her hand to twist it, the quality is excellent, it is the best alchemy of painted talismans.
It's just that this cinnabar is a little damp.
She poked her finger into the cinnabar inside the porcelain box, a shallow layer, but just below the end of her little finger.
He Ling Jiang's eyebrows raised slightly, such a porcelain box, but only containing such a little cinnabar, is inevitably space.
She reached out and picked up the porcelain box, poured all the cinnabar on the table, and then flipped the box over and looked at it carefully.
If you look at the depth of the cinnabar it contains, the bottom of this porcelain box is really thicker.
In the middle of the bottom of the porcelain box, there is a red dot that is just like a cinnabar point slightly raised, He Lingjiang stretched out his hand and pressed it, and the bottom of the porcelain box was opened, revealing the contents inside.
She poked her finger into it and pulled out a small seal.
He Ling Jiang looked at it carefully, then pressed the seal in the cinnabar on the table, and then pulled a piece of white paper at random and pressed it, and a cinnabar red pattern appeared on the paper.
The seal pattern is composed of twenty-two star points, resembling wings and tails, and is a wing camp, with a small "sixteen" in the middle.
XVI.
This should be Xuanyang's private seal, so that it can be used when contacting other people.
She fumbled around the porcelain box again, but there was nothing but a seal.
He Ling Jiang frowned, with a slight force in his hand, the porcelain box in his palm was broken into several petals, and the inside was still empty.
Only this seal really doesn't play a role in finding the people behind the scenes.
With a sigh in her heart, she tucked the seal into her sleeve and waited until she made another decision.
There were a few paper talismans pressed under the paperweight on the side, and He Lingjiang took it out to see that it was just some condensing talismans and thunder talismans, and the grade was acceptable.
She bowed her head, and at her feet was a brazier, perhaps the owner had left in a hurry, and the ashes inside had not yet been dumped.
He Lingjiang squatted down, stretched out her hand and fiddled inside, the paper in the brazier had already burned out, she had been fiddling with it for a long time, but she only saw some black ash residues.
As soon as He Zheng wanted to open his mouth to step forward to help her, he saw her fingertips move and pick up a piece of debris, the paper was almost burned away, and only one corner was burned yellow and black by the flames, but fortunately it was not burned and was preserved.
Xuanwei hurriedly stepped forward, only to see that there were still a few words on the yellowed paper.
There was joy in his eyes: "What was written?" ”
He Lingjiang's eyes narrowed slightly: "January 21." ”
"Gone?"
"It's gone."
Xuan Wei stretched out his hand, carefully took the paper and looked at it a few times, and sure enough, only the words "January 21st" were faintly visible.
"This is not my brother's handwriting."
He looked at the paper in his hand and sighed: "There is only a time left for the payment, what is the matter." If you can go up or down, maybe you can know the name of the person who wrote the letter, and it will be much easier. This fire is really not the right time to be extinguished. ”
"But are there any other surviving fragments?" He followed the example of He Lingjiang, and also squatted down and rummaged in the brazier.
He Lingjiang had already taken the scrap from his hand and brushed the ashes on his body: "It's gone, don't bother to find it." ”
"Since there is a piece of paper left, there may be anything else." Xuanwei didn't give up, but he turned the remaining ashes in the brazier upside down, and still couldn't find the second remaining piece of note.
He patted his robe and stood up, with a little frustration on his face: "I thought I could find some clues, but it seems that I was overjoyed." ”
He Lingjiang shook his head and stared at the only remaining handwriting on the scrap: "This fragment is not empty joy. ”
"How?" Xuan Wei said, "Isn't the Seventh Lady still discovering?" ”
"January 21st. Do you remember what day it was? He Ling Jiang Mu has a deep meaning.
Xuan Wei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then patted his head: "It was the senior brother who kidnapped Lord Shiro of Hefu and wanted to trap and kill the Seventh Lady on that day!" ”
He Ling Jiang bowed his head: "To be precise, the night when Xuanyang tied up the fourth uncle was the 21st of the first month, and it was the early morning of the 22nd when I was lured to Cuiwei Peak." ”
Xuan Wei knew that this fragment was really useful.
