Chapter 42: Eight Formations

The next morning was a sunny day, and after Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang's brothers had breakfast, they took the subway to Panjiayuan as planned.

Even if there is no wind in the winter morning, it is quite cold, and most of the people who go there wear thick down jackets.

One thing after another, and it didn't come for two weeks. The first few times I came here in the afternoon, today because I planned to go to Shui Jingxin's house in the afternoon, and talked to Vice Principal Shui about cooperating with Ke Feier to study the Mystery of the Scriptures, so it was changed to morning.

It was past nine o'clock when I arrived at Panjiayuan, because of the climate, there were few stalls, and there were not too many shops on both sides.

Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang browsed all the way from the entrance as always. When I walked to the middle, I saw a 60-year-old man wrapped in a military coat, carrying things down from the tricycle with one hand and eating an egg scramble with the other.

When he was about to walk over, Ou Zhou's mind suddenly appeared a magnificent picture.

The river beach stone henge, flying sand and stones.

"Huh, weird?" He stopped, turned and walked to the booth of the military coat.

At that time, the man in the military coat was taking out a bundle of bamboo slips from the tricycle.

When Ou Zhou saw the bundle of bamboo slips, his heart jumped suddenly.

He silently explored the sixth layer of the micro-heart method, and suddenly, a vivid picture was staged in his mind: a young general riding a white horse and silver armor, leading a group of people and horses into the riverside stone henge with a sword, and in an instant, the stone henge flew sand and stones, and the sky was dark.

The young general brandished his sword and led his horses to rush left and right, but he couldn't get out. Seeing that the soldiers were constantly dying, he could not do anything. Just when he was discouraged and ready to draw his sword and kill himself.

A white-haired old man on crutches came from the front, and shouted, "Don't worry, general, come with me." ”

The young general had no choice but to put down his sword, and with the half-lost military horse, he followed the old man, and after a few turns, he finally walked out of the stone formation.

When I look back, the sky is clear inside and outside the stone formation, how can there ever be flying sand and stones, and the sky is dark and even more nonsense.

The young general was puzzled, and when he looked back at his soldiers and horses, there were less than fifty percent left, and all of them had blue noses and swollen faces, missing arms and legs.

The young general couldn't help but be surprised, and bowed down to salute: "Dare to ask the old man, what is the name of this stone formation, and who placed it?" ”

The old man replied: "The name of this array is called the Eight Array Diagram, which was set up by the son-in-law Zhuge Kongming. Zeng said that day, after a general of Soochow strayed into this formation, there was no need to lead him out. ”

The young general was shocked: "It turns out that Kong Ming has already made arrangements, and such a subtle formation is unheard of in my life, and I can't do it." ”

The old man said with a smile: "This array evolved from the Fuxi Bagua Array, and there are a total of eight formations, namely the Sky Covering Array, the Ground Carrying Array, the Wind Lifting Array, the Cloud Falling Array, the Dragon Flying Array, the Tiger Wing Array, the Bird Flying Array, and the Snake Pan Array. The formation is changing, unpredictable. I saw you enter through the door of death, and I knew that you didn't understand the formation, so I came to the rescue. ”

The young general was ashamed and asked, "The old man is Kong Ming's father-in-law, why did he rescue Lu?" ”

"God has the virtue of a good life, and I can't bear to see young talents die here."

"Thank you for the rescue of my father-in-law, Lu will never make a mistake in his lifetime." After the young general finished speaking, he led the remnants of the defeated army to flee in a hurry.

Ou Zhou took the exercises, gently dragged Jiang Yang, and asked the military coat: "Uncle, can you sell this bundle of bamboo slips to me?" ”

The military coat stuffed the last bite of the egg scramble into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it with his neck outstretched. said: "Okay, open the door to the market, give you a 20% discount, 1,600 yuan to take away." ”

Ou Zhou didn't say a word, paid the money, asked for a bag with the military coat, and pulled Jiang Yang away.

After leaving Panjiayuan, he came to a place where no one was around, and said happily: "Senior brother, do you feel it?" He patted the bundle of bamboo slips and asked.

Jiang Yang said: "I only know that it is a bamboo slip from the Three Kingdoms period. ”

"Senior brother, this is the long-lost Eight Array Diagram?"

"Oh, did you see that?" Jiang Yang asked in surprise.

"Absolutely." Ou Zhou said confidently.

"It's been lost for more than a thousand years, why is it only appearing now!"

"Probably providence! Normally we come in the afternoon, but today we came early in the morning. ”

"This providence is really magical!" Jiang Yang sighed.

"Senior brother, I picked up a big leak today, let's hurry back!" Ou Zhou asked with a smile.

"Return, why don't you return. This kind of thing that can be encountered but cannot be asked for, I am afraid that only the two of us can encounter it. ”

The two brothers happily took the subway and returned to the small building.

As soon as he entered the house, Ou Zhou took off his cold-proof clothes and said with a smile: "If Lu Xun hadn't been led by Huang Chengyan's father-in-law, he would have died in Stone Henge." He burned the company camp with 50,000 soldiers and horses to break the Shu army of 730,000, but he almost died in the stone formation, which shows how amazing the eight formations are. ”

"Yes, Kong Ming's clever calculation scared Lu Xun so much that he didn't dare to commit Shu again. True gods and men too. ”

"It's a pity that the geniuses of the Kong Ming generation can't continue the world of the Han Dynasty, the will of heaven is like this, how can manpower be reversed."

"It is said that the eight arrays of the year are located on the south river side of Fengjie County, White Emperor City, and it is said that it is in Xinfan."

"Fengjie was called Yufu County during the Three Kingdoms period, and it was renamed Fengjie in the Tang Dynasty."

"For this reason, Du Shisheng has a poem to praise and say: The achievement covers three parts of the country, the name becomes the eight arrays, the river does not turn, and the hatred is lost and swallowed Wu."

"Senior brother, what are you going to do with this bundle of bamboo slips?"

"Presumably no one will believe that this is the famous Eight Array Diagram. Anyway, it's going to be fine, so let's open it up and see, what's the mystery in it? ”

"It's fine." Jiang Yang said with a smile.

Ou Zhou took out the bamboo slips and placed them on the table to open them in a roll. Behind the bamboo slips is a parchment scroll, which, although mottled and detached, is vaguely illegible with piles of stones painted on it.

The bamboo slip text is mostly small seals, which are obscure and difficult to understand.

The two of them watched for a long time, but they didn't ask for much understanding.

Ou Zhou said: "We might as well rub the seal characters on the bamboo slips, show them to the professors of the history department for interpretation, and then summarize them one by one." ”

"It's a wonderful way, so let's do it." Jiang Yang said with a smile.

In half a morning, the two brothers carefully rubbed the handwriting on the bamboo slips one by one. Some of the handwriting was too old and not clear, so they carefully scrutinized it in order to perfect it.

Some of the handwriting was badly peeled, and only a few strokes remained, so they left it blank first.

After finishing this work, it was already one o'clock. The brothers went outside to fill their stomachs hastily, came back and numbered the rubbing, and then put the bundle of bamboo slips and parchment scrolls in the safe.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, I bought a fruit basket on the street and went to Shui Jingxin's house.

Vice Principal Shui was already waiting in the living room, and when he saw the two of them sitting down, he smiled and said, "You two have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, let's say, what are the difficult things to solve?" ”

Shui Jingxin put a glass of water in front of the two of them, and then sat aside with her mother to be in the audience.

Jiang Yang then talked about Ke Feier's cooperation in detail.

After listening with a frown, Vice Principal Shui asked, "The contract hasn't been signed yet, has it?" ”

"Nope. We'd like to get an idea from Vice Principal Shui. Jiangyang Road.

With such a complex background, Ke Fei'er took the initiative to fully support the research work of the Xuanji Sutra, and he must have a full understanding of this Sutra. What I don't understand is that no matter how much Ke Feier knows about Xuanjijing, she doesn't know as much as I do, why does she not only provide scientific research funds, but also produce a scientific research team? Vice President Shui has a lot of questions.

"This is also very strange to us at first," Jiang Yang said, "but Ke Fei'er's logic is that since the two of us can practice magical martial arts through soul teaching dreams and obtaining the Sun Heart Sutra and the Cave Exploration Micro Heart Method. Then the content contained in the Xuanji Sutra must be true. They are clearly very curious about our ancient culture, and they believe that they will benefit greatly from it. ”

"Typical Western thinking, they like to do things by feeling. And the Oriental people do things by logic. If the logic doesn't make sense, everything can't be done. ”

"With Vice President Shui's intentions, to sign the contract or not to sign?"

"Let's put it off for now, and I'll meet with the school committee again when I go back and talk about the situation." Vice Principal Water is ambiguous.

"In that case, then we'll wait."

"By the way, in case the school doesn't agree to this. Before you sign the contract with Kofier, I want to read the text of the contract. Vice Chancellor Water added.

"No problem at all." Jiang Yang said.

Ou Zhou understood what Vice Principal Shui meant, but in fact, he did not agree to cooperate with Kefeier. The reason why I said that was just to try my best to check and not to be taken advantage of by Kefeier.

Thinking of this, Ou Zhou said: "Actually, we can study the Xuanji Sutra by ourselves, and as for the scientific research funds, we can also find our own way, and the only thing that is lacking is the scientific research team." ”

Vice President Shui's expression perked up and asked, "The research work of the Xuanji Sutra is clueless, and the possibility of producing results is very slim, so the scientific research funding will be an unpredictable figure. How do you finance it? ”

Ou Zhou glanced at Jiang Yang and said, "We have the Cave Exploration Micro Heart Method, which can distinguish those treasures that are not born in the world. Vice Principal Bu Shui said, today we went to Panjiayuan early in the morning and unexpectedly got the Wuhou Eight Array Diagram. A few days ago, we successively obtained the queen's pigeon's bloodstone and the famous Xuande furnace. Although the pigeon's bloodstone and the eight-array diagram must be doubted for its authenticity. But we are still able to rely on the micro-heart method of exploring the cave and continue to dig out the treasures that people recognize. ”

"After the treasure is realized, you can continuously raise scientific research funds." Jiang Yang added.

Vice Principal Shui was shocked and said: "Don't talk about the pigeon bloodstone, the Wuhou Eight Array Diagram is famous all over the world, and its authenticity can be confirmed through research." Once this is true, then not only is the scientific research funding expected, but even your magical cave exploration method will be widely recognized by the academic community. ”

"In that case, we really don't need to sign a contract with Coffier." Jiang Yang said.

"Furthermore, I can mobilize my father to borrow part of his auction proceeds and start the research work of the Xuanji Sutra first." Ou Zhou added.

"In this way, the only thing missing is a strong scientific research team." Jiang Yang repeated.

"I'll figure out how to do it for the research team." Vice Principal Shui said excitedly.

"Vice President Shui, why don't we hand over the bundle of eight-array bamboo slips and the parchment scroll to the history department, and let the experts of the academy study and confirm it?" Jiang Yang said tentatively.

"It's for the best. At the school committee meeting on Monday, I will tell you about this matter, and you should hand in the eight array diagrams and bamboo slips before the school committee, and after the school committee approves it, you will immediately organize the professors of the history department to start the research work. ”

"Okay, Vice Principal Shui."

"If it is really the Wuhou Eight Array Diagram, the research work of the Xuanji Sutra may be smooth sailing."

"Why did Vice Principal Water make such remarks?"

"You are the ones who used the Cave Exploration Micro Heart Method to discover the Eight Array Diagrams, and the aura of celebrities will play a great role in boosting the research work."

"That's right, Vice Principal Shui, if it's okay, we'll see you the day after tomorrow." Jiang Yang took his leave.

Vice Principal Shui got up and sent them to the door.

Shui Jingxin sent them to the gate one after another.

On the way back, Jiang Yang received a call from Ke Fei'er, saying that he was going to have a duel with Ou Zhou in the grove at ten o'clock in the evening.

Jiang Yang listened to the phone and beckoned to Ou Zhou, asking him to listen to the phone call as well.

Ou Zhou leaned over to Jiang Yang's side and listened to Ke Fei'er's eloquent challenge over there.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yang said with a smile: "This Ke Fei'er is really interesting, it's only been one night, and it's not okay." ”

Ou Zhou said: "It is very likely that Ke Feier made a new breakthrough last night before he dared to challenge. ”

"Yes, the last time we met, she suffered such a serious internal injury, and she still dared to provoke the second night. It can be seen that her martial arts path also belongs to the type that the more damaged she is, the more she can break through. ”

"Hehe, there is such an opponent, it is difficult to break through in martial arts. But I don't know, what kind of magical performance will Kofier have this time? ”

"She learned your Void Point and Splitting Palm last night, so it can be inferred that she at least has the ability to resist, otherwise she wouldn't have brought shame on herself." Jiang Yang analyzed reasonably.

"It must be so." As Ou Zhou spoke, he pointed out in the air, but when he heard the sound of snorting, he saw a sparrow on the tree fall in response.

Jiang Yang couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised: "Senior brother, your acupoint has reached the point where you can do whatever you want. At this distance, at least ten meters away! ”

"It's okay, let's let Ke Fei'er taste the taste of being remotely clicked at night!" Ou Zhou said with a smile.
