"The Nine Palaces Formation has been successfully opened, congratulations on passing the first round of trials. ”

Lord Squire walked over, he nodded approvingly to Xingyuan, and patted Ye Qi's swarthy shoulder again.

"In the next round of trials, you have to unravel this Nine Palace Formation. The squire said: "In ancient times, the dragon and horse went out of the river map, and the turtle offered Luoshu, and later there was this nine-palace pattern. The nine palaces are integrated with all things in the world, and if they are corresponding to mathematics and physics, the sum of horizontal and vertical oblique is equal.

Two, you should use the nine palaces and five elements and yin and yang life and death to correspond to the numbers from one to nine, and then reorganize them according to the principle of the operation of all things, so that the corresponding numbers can be equal horizontally, vertically and obliquely.

If the numbers do not match the five elements of yin and yang, or if the nine palaces are added horizontally and vertically, or if the reorganization violates the principle of all things, you will not be able to unravel this array, and then it will also mean your failure. ”

Hoshigaki asked, "What are the restrictions on this round?"

The squire said: "There is no time limit, but the door of death on the battlefield cannot be moved. ”

Xingyuan glanced at Ye Qi's side, and saw that this warrior was looking up at the tall Nine Palaces.

"Ye Qi, can you see any clues?"

The warrior scratched his head, "I don't see it. However, I always feel that you should already have a plan. I'll listen to you for this round of trials. ”

Xingyuan smiled at him, then put one hand on his elbow and the other on his cheek, and thought: "The five elements correspond to mathematics, which should be one water, two fires, three woods, four gold, and five earths. The five elements are distributed according to the eight trigrams and the four elephants, so in this diagram, the horns of water and wood can be determined as the Gen hexagram, and the horns of fire and wood are the Xun hexagrams. The Gen hexagram is yang, but the hexagram is one yang and two yin, so the number can be determined as seven, and the Xun hexagram is yin, but the hexagram is two yang and one yin, so the number can be determined as eight. ”

Ye Qi leaned over, "Can you determine that the numbers from one to five belong to the five elements, and you also know that Yang is seven and Yin is eight, so there are six and nine numbers, how do they correspond to life and death?"

Xingyuan smiled at him, "The direct correspondence is." ”

Ye Qi was puzzled, "How to correspond directly?"

Xingyuan said: "Six lives and nine deaths." Six is a variable, which naturally corresponds to the door of life, and nine is the final number, which should correspond to the door of death. ”

Seeing that Ye Qi seemed to understand whether he understood or not, Xingyuan said to him: "Next, I will say the formula, and you will do it." ”

Ye Qi nodded, but listened to Xingyuan read out the first sentence, "Jin Huo is injured for the shoulder." ”

The warrior stepped forward and took off the gold and fire cards, flew to the top of the nine palaces, and replaced the yin and yang cards.

As soon as he landed, six men stabbed him with fiery spears.

Seeing this, Xingyuan hurriedly shouted, "Be careful!"

The townspeople watching the game in the audience also exclaimed again!

Ye Qi rose into the air, tiptoed lightly, and landed on the tips of the six iron spears pierced in one place, and the flames on the neck of the spears circled around his feet. Immediately, the spear retreated, Ye Qi fell down, and the sharp musket stabbed again!

Xingyuan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly pinched a trick in his hand to extinguish the gun and fire. Ye Qi stabilized his body at the same time, and used a roundabout kick in mid-air to knock down six sharp spear heads!

The audience resounded with continuous clapping and shouting.

"I don't want to have the mystery of the attack of the five elements......" the warrior's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Since this is a game," the Squire who watched the game from the sidelines said in a calm tone, "whether you win or lose depends on your ability and obsession......"

Xingyuan looked at the pale-faced squire, and said again: "Move trees to lead the water to the side." ”

Ye Qi continued to move the wood, water, and sheng cards according to Xingyuan's words, and was on guard against any secret weapon raid, when suddenly a wooden barrel smashed towards him! Ye Qi clenched his fist and smashed the wooden barrel, who expected that the bucket was full of ice water, and it actually splashed him......

"What kind of trial is this, it's clearly a prank......

The squire sat on the chair of the Grand Master, noncommittal, and everyone in the audience laughed.

Xingyuan's expression was not much easier, "The thick soil is stable in the Central Plains. ”

Ye Qixin comprehended, took the earthen plate at the bottom right, and placed it on the middle grid, and above his head, a boulder actually fell!

The crowd watching the game retreated one after another, some of them closed their eyes timidly, and even hid behind the backs of others.

Hoshigaku's hand was hidden in his sleeve, and his fingertips twisted slightly, and the speed at which the boulder fell significantly slowed down.

The warrior Ye Qi walked steadily and raised his hands high. Everyone in the audience saw him gently support him, and then held the boulder. Ye Qi held the boulder and threw it towards the open space behind the ring, and a big pit was smashed out of the ground.

At the same time, the audience erupted in thunderous applause and shouts!

Xingyuan just saw a smile on his lips, but he immediately gathered it and read the last sentence, "Chaos has a very fixed yin and yang. ”

Ye Qi put the yang and yin cards on the remaining two spaces on the left, one right, one high and one low.

Immediately, the tall nine-square grid standing in the center of the ring turned into dust and sand and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes. The Nine Palaces Array was relieved peacefully, and there was no more secret weapon raids, and the townspeople watching the game were all surprised.

Lord Squire got up from his seat and clapped his hands to the two of them, "Wonderful, really wonderful. The two are wise and brave, and they cooperate tacitly, which is really admirable. With two of them serving as the wise men and warriors of Yilong Town this year, it is really well deserved. ”

As soon as the words fell, the celebrant struck the gong again, "Villagers—I declare that this year's wise men and warriors will be these two beside me...... Uh, what's your name?"

"Hoshigaki. ”

"Ye Qi. ”

"Yes, Xingyuan and Ye Qi! they will be the representatives of our Yilong Town, and they will meet the Sea Dragon King! We look forward to them fulfilling their wishes and bringing back us endless wealth and joy!"

The grand festival in Yilong Town ended in a joyous and celebratory atmosphere. The people of the town are returning home one after another to prepare for the sea festival three days later.

Xingyuan, as a wise man, should have been invited back to the squire's mansion with Ye Qi, but he was still standing in the high ring, trying to find the figure he was familiar with from the crowd that left.

"After winning the festival ring, we should go to celebrate together, why are you still standing here in a daze?"

was pushed behind him, and Xingyuan turned around to see that it was the dark-skinned honest man, Ye Qi.

Hoshigaki smiled, "I'm looking for my companion." ”

"Which companion?" Ye Qi also looked down the stage, "Is it a guy who is full of brocade and cheesy and can't wake up for 10,000 years?"

Hoshigaki looked at the people around him steadily, "Who are you?"

Ye Qi smiled, "The companion you are looking for who loves to eat sugar gourds......

"Gou Chen......!"

"Shh......h

Hoshigaki's surprise was hurriedly stopped by the swarthy man in front of him.

The purple-clothed Immortal Monarch was surprised and delighted, "How did you quietly change into someone else's appearance, that real townsman Ye Qi?"

Gou Chenyi, still in the appearance of Ye Qi, winked at him, "Let's go to the squire's mansion first." There is food and shelter, and we rely on this big household, so we don't have to worry about it these days......"

The sturdy palm pulled through Hoshigaki's wrist and ran down the ring, chasing after the squire.

"Gou Chen, no, Ye Qi, run slower......"

"It's too late to start the table!"

The young man in brocade clothes looked at everyone leaving, "Looking at his ability, he can only give it a go." I'm just a mortal after all......"

"If you do not believe in eternity, you cannot be chosen. ”

Standing in front of him in white clothes, the young man looked up and saw a strange black wooden mask.

"It's not good to cheat," the lips under the mask curled wickedly.......

The young man was very jealous of the visitor, he clenched his fists nervously, secretly suppressing his anger, "Compared to your deception, my little trick can be regarded as decent. ”

"We're just making deals. If you are willing to give your soul, I can put the dragon's body before you now...... Warrior Ye Qi. ”

The young man froze in place.

"Stupidity and cowardice will only wear down your sharpness. If you give up your obsession to others, even if you fulfill your wishes, how can you get true joy?"

The young man in brocade, that is, the real Ye Qi who had changed into Gou Chenyi, shook his head hard, as if he wanted to shake this demonic instigator out of his head.

"The one who made the deal with you is a cunning soul. I'll give you one night to repent, and when you figure it out, you can call me by my name. ”

"What's your name?"

"Slaughtering ......"
