Unconsciously, Xia Yulong walked another stick of incense under the light moonlight, and when they looked up, the Ma'anshan Pass was not far above their heads.

At this time, Pavilion Chief Li's mood and pace became heavy.

In order to dispel Pavilion Chief Li's worries, Lan Xin comforted: "Brother Li, don't worry, if you encounter a demon beast, we will definitely capture it and let it lift the seal on your body." ”

Li Tingchang smiled and sighed: "It's not as simple as a demon beast! ”

In fact, Lan Xin didn't know the subtleties under this seal, she deliberately said "oh", and asked, "Where do you start with this?" ”

Li Tingchang replied: "More than ten years ago, I didn't believe in this evil, led the young people of the whole village to fight against fate, vowed to get out of Dushan Village, a group of us came to this pass, looking at the mountains outside the mountain is so kind, when we went further, the first two people suddenly caught fire, we could only watch them being burned alive, but there was nothing to be done. ”

"What else do you see on the pass?" Zhang Xian also asked.

Li Tingchang took a breath and said: "I haven't seen anything, I haven't touched anything, the outside of this mountain is like a hell on earth, as long as you cross the death line, there will be no return, alas! It seems that only our Dushan Village is a pure land in the world. ”

"And then?" Blue Core asked again.

"Then a few more people died!" Li Tingchang sighed bitterly, "A few of my hair are red-eyed, thinking that as long as they rush out of the pass quickly, they will get rid of the evil curse, but where would they have thought that outside this pure land are all human-loving demons, and sure enough, after running a few steps, they have all become burning people." ”

Lan Xin asked again, "In that case, why don't you ask the immortal master for help?" ”

Li Tingchang sighed lightly again, and replied: "From ancient times to the present, I have thought of all the ways I should think of, how can there be an immortal master willing to lend a hand, many years ago, your big brother Hu came to our Dushan Village by mistake, I saw that he was a cheerful person, and I became friends with him, and he persuaded me to join the army with him and become an official and a half-job......"

Zhang Xian said with a smile: "Brother Li has the talent of a general, if he joins the army, I am afraid that this official will be even bigger than Hu Fat, he is a reckless man!" ”

Li Tingchang laughed at himself: "How can I compare with Brother Hu with this body, he fights and moves forward bravely, hehe, I can't do anything about charging into battle, I can only run errands and do chores in the back." ”

Lan Xin pursed his lips and smiled: "Leading troops to fight depends on flexible brains, and Brother Li can control the overall situation by giving advice from behind, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, alas! It's just that the seal in the mountains binds Brother Li's future. ”

"Alas, yes!" Li Tingchang nodded and continued, "I asked Brother Hu to go out and invite a few Taoist masters for us, and he asked me what I was doing with those old people who cheated on eating and drinking?" But I refused to tell him the truth, and I was reluctant to talk about the bad luck contaminated by our people, and I didn't want to mention it to others, thinking that even if the Taoist master came, could he really lift our thousands of years of seals? When I figured it out, Brother Hu had already crossed the Ma'anshan Pass. ”

……

In the time of walking half a stick of incense, Xia Yulong and his party of four have already climbed to the top of Ma'anshan.

Standing on the edge of the pass and looking out, there are two almost identical peaks standing on the left and right sides in front of you, and the Big Dipper is hanging between the two mountains, which is extremely bright.

The backsides of the two peaks are smooth cliffs that are difficult for even monkeys to climb, and there is a relatively flat buffer zone between them.

The winding official road stretched along the buffer zone and disappeared into sight, and there were dozens of remnant walls next to the official road hidden in the dead grass, and in the faint moonlight, the pass was full of dry grass.

Li Tingchang pointed to the dozens of broken walls in front of him and said softly: "You see, the camp where the Qin army was originally stationed has been lost in the smoke and dust of history, alas, if Qin II does not destroy the heavens, I am afraid that we are still the people of the Qin Dynasty, and perhaps the seal on our bodies has already been lifted." ”

Looking at the dilapidated scene in front of him, Lan Xin thought of the broken city walls of the ancient kingdom of Xidan when the sun set, and thought of the fallen soldiers and lonely war horses in the smoke of gunpowder......

After a moment, she sighed lightly and sighed: "The wheel of history is rolling forward, all the bits and pieces are imprinted on the ruts, and the merits and demerits can only be commented on by future generations." ”

Zhang Xian also touched the scene and read a poem: "

The long journey of yellow sand,

Melodious camel bells singing,

The moon dances and gets drunk at the end of the world,

The horse leather shroud has no bones,

The pavilions and pavilions want to flutter,

Thunder drums and battle flags scatter smoke and dust,

Where to go when the country is ruined,

Half a life back with a cold heart......"

She looked at Lan Xin, and also sighed: "This is a poem that my grandfather taught me to read when I was a child, my grandfather said that when he was young, he went to the northwest desert and met a prodigal son of an official family, and taught his grandfather this limerick poem. ”

Lan Xin sighed lightly: "The artistic conception of the poem recited by Sister Xian is to write about the cruel war in the desert, but it describes the misery and sadness in the hearts of the soldiers when the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, which is similar to this situation. ”

At this time, Xia Yulong was concentrating on the front, and he didn't hear what Lan Xin was talking about, he suddenly rushed forward.

Li Tingchang hurriedly said: "I can't go any further with you, I will die." ”

I saw Xia Yulong running to the edge of the broken wall and stopped, he looked up at the Big Dipper......

After a while, he closed his eyes and pondered, and after the time of the meal, he slowly opened his eyes and said to himself: "This is the sealing circle...... He looked at Li Tingchang and said: "Brother Li, you come forward, don't cross this broken wall, you will be fine." ”

Li Tingchang looked at Zhang Xian and Lan Xin standing on the left and right sides in horror, walked up tremblingly, and asked in a trembling voice, "Good brother, what did you see?" ”

At this time, Lan Xin and Zhang Xian also followed.

Xia Yulong looked at Li Ting and said happily: "On the edge of this broken wall, there is a sealing circle of the Big Dipper, as long as you cross this line, you will definitely die." ”

"Ahh Li Tingchang was extremely surprised, "How did you see this sealing circle?" ”

Lan Xin stepped forward and said with a smile: "My brother has the eye of heaven, so he can naturally see this. ”

"This ...... This ......" Li Tingchang was speechless, and his heart was naturally ecstatic, but his face was still full of doubt.

Xia Yulong pointed along the remaining veins of Ma'anshan and said: "The shadow of the Big Dipper in the deep sky is densely reflected on this blue sealing circle, and it detours along this mountain range, forming a closed sealing circle, and this sealing circle is not static, with the change of seasons, the position of the sealing circle moves back and forth on the pass, and your village is surrounded by the sealing circle, so naturally you can't get out of this circle." ”

Listening carefully to Xia Yulong's analysis, Li Tingchang was so fascinated that he forgot where he was, he looked up at the night sky, and slowly walked forward......

Xia Yulong pushed him back and said hurriedly: "Brother Li, be careful, don't let the Big Dipper shine on you." ”

"Oh, yes!" Li Tingchang laughed, took a few steps back, and asked, "Good brother, how to break this seal, our fate is counting on you!" ”

Xia Yulong's expression was solemn, he pondered for a moment, and said: "I have a hunch, I'm afraid that this seven-star seal is not aimed at you, but you are trapped in it, and you have also been implicated together and become victims. ”

"Ah, this ...... Where does this begin? Li Tingchang looked surprised again, "If this is the case, please also ask Brother Long to give me a way to crack it!" ”

Xia Yulong looked at Dushan Village and the big earth buns behind the village that were sleeping quietly in the moonlight, and analyzed: "It is recorded in ancient books that those who can command the seven stars are either gods or demons, that is to say, the people who can command the Big Dipper in the Three Realms are either gods or earth demons, and all the Taoist masters in the mortal world, although they can also spy on the mysteries of the seven stars, they can't command the seven stars, they can only use the remaining power of the star demons......"

He looked around for a moment, looked at Dushan Village, and said: "Look at this big earth bun again, although it is said to be the tomb of a certain emperor, but he has a heavy military power, and it is easy to be used by the earth demon after death. ”

"Huh?"

Lan Xin, Zhang Xian, and Li Tingchang looked at each other, although they understood Xia Yulong's words, they were still full of questions.
