I don't know why, but when I saw his disappointed expression, I blurted out: I will beg you, Master, to let you join us.

To this day, I still don't understand why I said that. Maybe it was that disappointed expression that moved me, I myself am a metaphysical person, at first when the master asked me to follow Qin Bukong to break through the Eight Gate Formation together, I was also full of resistance, but as the progress continued to deepen, the biggest secret was about to come out, and the thirst for this secret in my heart became stronger and stronger unconsciously.

In other words, if Qin Bukong told me now that I no longer needed to participate in the next things, I think my mood would be the same as Songzi at this moment. And when I said this, Matsuko's body trembled slightly, but her expression did not change, as if she did not believe what I said.

However, it was not that he did not believe me, but that he did not believe that his master would grant my request.

I don't think it's a way for Songzi to kneel all the time, although it was wrong to steal my things before, but after all, when he first got out of the hole, I gave him a throat lock, so it was a joke. So I walked up to him and reached out to pull him up, but he didn't seem willing to get up, but he was no match for me if I tried to fight hard. I forcibly pulled him up and told him that I would try my best no matter what.

And in fact, I think I'm still a little selfish, because in just a few days of getting along, I think this person is a very smart person, and he is also proficient in feng shui, if you bring him along, maybe it will be of greater help in the future, after all, the reality is that although we have found the heart, but we can't peel off the last layer of protective shell, among them, there is still a seven evil passes.

After talking to Songzi under the tree for so long, the lights of the surrounding wings had already been turned off, and I told Songzi that since the Gaodao people said that as long as I let you get up, you can get up, and now you go back to the room to rest, and I will rest too. We'll talk about that tomorrow.

The next morning, I got up before dawn, and all night, I was thinking about how to open this mouth to Gao Daoren, after all, the night before he said in front of the whole master that he would not interfere, and now if he agreed to my request, will he be a little too vacillating in front of his apprentices. So I basically didn't sleep all night, and before everyone got up, I took the lead in getting dressed and standing under the podocarpus in the yard and waiting.

The first to get up and go out is the Gaodao people. When he saw that I was already waiting in the courtyard, he asked me very kindly, "This mercy, you slept well last night in poor conditions?" I nodded and said it was not bad, and by the way, I thanked the Gao Dao people for their generosity last night. Then the Gaodao people asked me, where is my scumbag pine nuts? I made him kneel here, but mercy forgave him? I said yes, I let him go back first last night, which is a coincidence, senior senior, I just wanted to tell you about this apprentice of yours.

So I was very sincere and told the Gao Dao people what I had been preparing for a long time last night, and the reason why I chose it early in the morning was because the other disciples should not have gotten up yet, so it would not cause embarrassment to the Gao Dao people. After listening to my request, Gao Daoren thought for a moment and said, this compassion can accept pine nuts under such circumstances, and it is really rare to be open-minded. I wonder if my bad guy told you about his relationship with my master and apprentice last night?

I mentioned it, and he also explained the origin of his name "Pine Nut", which is a very wonderful story. Gao Daoren said, since this is the case, then he must have mentioned to you that the reason why I accepted him as an apprentice was because he did not choose to leave after being rejected, but knelt down for a long time, so there was the scene of harmony in the future, right? I said yes. Gao Daoren went on to say, "If you insisted on leaving last night, or if I hadn't stayed with you for one night, there would have been no such conversation between you and Songzi, and you wouldn't have asked for it now." All of this seems so similar to when I first received pine nuts.

When I think about it, it seems like that's really the case. It's just that I don't understand that I'm obviously asking for someone from Gao Daoren, how he can get involved with me. Gao Daoren said, since this is the case, I will agree to your request, it is a chance for me to leave pine nuts under the door, and it is also an opportunity for you to let him go down the mountain with you.

Gao Daoren's words seemed to make sense, but I didn't understand it for a while, and I was very happy to see that he agreed to me. Later, Songzi will know about it, and it is estimated that he will be happy. But Gao Daoren only added at this moment, but after Songzi came down the mountain, in the matter of participating in the soul of the Witch King, all words and deeds have nothing to do with my Yunsheng Palace, and the people in my door will still do what they say and no longer interfere in the matter of the Witch King's soul.

I can understand the distress of what he said, he is choosing such a way, on the one hand, he will not let me down, on the other hand, he will let his disciples participate in the experience, and most importantly, he can avoid suspicion because of this.

Sure enough, as I expected, Songzi was very happy when he knew, but we were not in a hurry to go down the mountain that day, but I stayed in Yunsheng Palace for a few days, during which Songzi took me around to take a look, although this mountain is not big, but everywhere there is a fairy energy, so that I, a cultivator, yearn for it.

Around the tenth day of the first month, Songzi and I said goodbye to the Gaodao people and went down the mountain, and returned to Qin Bukong's home in Hankou two days later. I told him briefly what I had seen and heard these days, but I didn't mention the theft of my Luban ruler by Matsuko. At that time, when Qin Bukong heard Songzi's name, he was also surprised for a long time, so Songzi had to explain to him again. The fatigue of the continuous journey was still tiring, and after a few days of rest, we began to work on the so-called Seven Evils.

According to what Songzi said earlier, the Seven Demons refer to the different ghosts in it, and the way is somewhat similar to the previous Eight Gate Array, but since we haven't seen it yet, it is not clear whether it is a single ghost or a ghost formed by the gathering of evil energy. And in the days that Songzi and I left, Qin Bukong finally figured out how to insert the eight vajra. According to him, if the heart of the previous Eight Gate Formations was regarded as the "Ninth Gate", this question would seem to be easier to answer.

It stands to reason that after the eight gates, it should be the result, but it is not, which means that we are not considered to have broken the formation, but only destroyed part of the formation. The calculation of gossip is divided into Fuxi's innate gossip and King Wen's acquired gossip, but when the eight vajra are put together to activate the array heart to some extent, then this method should be the way of acquired gossip, because the innate number is eight palaces, and the acquired number is nine palaces.

However, if we successfully break the seven evils, and each one is counted as one step, then there should be a total of seven steps. But after completing these seven steps, you will face the eighth step, which is the soul of the witch king who takes the heart of the formation. So these eight steps are actually a pattern of gossip, but this time, it has become innate gossip.

Qin Bukong said that according to the hexagram attribute of the Charm and the Charm of the Dragon, it is actually a combination of odd and even numbers. That is to say, if we want to break the Seven Evils, the order we need to choose should be to break the odd number first and then break the even number, or the reverse order, not according to the order of the words or the order of the odd and even intervals, because in that case, it will not match the corresponding words on the stone pillar of the center of the array, and the eight gates corresponding to each word.

Seeing that Songzi and I were puzzled, Qin Bukong probably lost his patience, so he said, if there is no miscalculation, according to the order of the innate gossip, in the "Kan" hexagram, here it is the fifth, it is an empty hexagram, so the vajra that we obtained at the beginning of Xiumen should be vacant and should not be inserted into the round hole. The remaining seven roots, according to the hexagram position of the seven evils, respectively select the vajra obtained by the acquired eight trigrams in the previous eight gate arrays, convert them into the hexagram positions after the innate eight trigrams, and insert them respectively.

Probably knowing that we didn't understand, Qin Bukong deliberately drew a picture on the paper, with many parentheses on it, and the parentheses respectively wrote the relationship between the hexagram position and the seven evils after his conversion: (魑, Qiangua, open the door); (Charm, Kun Hexagram, Death Gate); (魍, shock hexagram, wounded door); (魉, Xun hexagram, Dumen); (Xiao, Ligua, Jingmen); (魃, Gen hexagram, shengmen); (Kui, hexagram, surprise). In addition, the Humen of the Kan hexagram should be counted as the heart of the formation, that is, the soul of the witch king, and there is a bye here for the time being.

In this way, it is much clearer. Qin Bukong also said that the door opening, the birth gate, and the closing door are three auspicious gates, and they are all odd numbers. There are four odd numbers and even numbers in the gossip arrangement, but the fifth of the odd numbers is a bye, so one, three, and five correspond to the opening, injury, and birth, two auspicious and one fierce, this is the order in which we have to go through the seven evil levels, and the first level is "魑".

I asked Qin Bukong, how could we find this so-called "guan"? Qin Bukong said that he guessed that when the seven vajra were inserted, the seven evil passes would be activated, and after the eighth one was inserted, it would be the "key" to open the soul seal.

After Matsuko heard this, he clapped his hands, saying that such a calculation was wonderful. And he himself is a person who is more proficient in Feng Shui, Yin and Yang, and his understanding of these is much faster than mine. So I also applauded inexplicably, Qin Bukong was probably a little embarrassed, so he said, don't be happy too early, now we know how to stimulate the Seven Evil Passes, but we don't know where the Seven Evil Passes are, it's also in vain.

At this time, Songzi said, I think I probably have a little eyebrows, do you remember the row of small characters when you erased the words on the stone bricks?
