Chapter 18: Entering the Battle
"What do you mean, the Tianxing Feng Shui diagram we passed by just now?" Wang Xuanwei's eyes lit up and said, "Innate gossip, Qiankun positioning, the ancients sat in the north and faced the south, and they were sitting on the ground to the sky." Dry is the sky, Kun is the earth, then this should be Dumen. ”
Zhuge Wanling nodded and said: "Dumen is the gate of Zhongping, although it is not auspicious, but it also has no great fierce potential, since this is the case, it is okay for us to enter." ”
"Then what are we waiting for?" Qin Ke, who had just regained his strength and was still a little weak in speaking, said in surprise, "No wonder I always think that feng shui diagram is strange, it turns out to be a key to open the tomb door?"
"Don't rejoice too soon. Wang Xuanwei said coldly, "The Heavenly Star Feng Shui Diagram is indeed the key to this stone formation, but the question is, why did the owner of the tomb leave a key?"
"Maybe he wants to go out every once in a while to let off steam, and he's afraid that he will forget how to open the ......door when he gets home," Qin Ke stuck out his tongue and said nonsense.
In fact, he already understood, but at this time, he was always reluctant to think in that direction. Although he is not afraid of the dark, but after entering this mausoleum, he always feels that this mausoleum is strange everywhere, Wang Xuanwei's statement makes his back cold, if the owner of the mausoleum left the key for them, then they were not invited by a dead man?
Abu stood behind Qin Ke, his face pale, and he couldn't help but say what Qin Ke was most afraid of: "The owner of the tomb ...... Are you waiting for us to come in?"
Zhuge Wanling shook his head and said, "No matter what the truth is, it's always useless for us to stay here. ”
Wang Xuanwei looked at Zhuge Wanling with sharp eyes. Since he came in, he has not relaxed his vigilance against Zhuge Wanling, and even compared with Gao Changgong, he is more worried about Zhuge Wanling, a terrifying figure who seems to be powerless but can actually determine the situation in the world with one person.
He controlled Zhuge Wanling with a black horse with one hand, and threatened Gao Changgong with Zhuge Wanling with the other hand, and even used these two people to threaten each other, so that they couldn't care about each other, although on the scene, he seemed to have the upper hand.
But in fact, he didn't really take advantage of it, and he was still confused about what secrets this mausoleum hid, and along the way, he even vaguely felt that he smelled a smell of being used from the black knight in the kiss of the dead snake.
Outside the bronze door, the sound of hitting the door slowly stopped, probably because the unicorn python couldn't break through outside the door, and finally chose to give up, or maybe it had other ways to get here. But it is impossible for Wang Xuanwei to spend time here for a long time, nor can he bet that the unicorn python has no other entrance, and it seems that there is no second way except for the stone henge.
"Enter!" Wang Xuan raised his hand slightly, this feeling of not being under his control made him unhappy, but he could only put aside the displeasure in his heart and solve the urgent problem at hand first.
The whole team slowly stepped into this majestic stone formation, as if going deep into a dense but gloomy and cold dark forest, the moist and cold air was like a thin mist, Qin Ke sniffed, probably because of the psychological effect, he only felt that the air was full of gloomy smell.
However, Qin Ke was a little surprised, the air here was much better, compared to the previous burial chamber full of rust and old smell, the smell of this stone henge made him feel as if he was in the middle of a field, there were dragonflies buzzing in his ears, plants and trees growing in the abundant rain, and even the flowers in full bloom seemed to have a sound exploding in his ears.
Flower?
Qin Ke paused, he realized that he had really stepped on something like a flower, he lowered his head, and found that he didn't know when he had stepped into a soft grass, and among them, there were flowers of various colors, which were only the size of a thumb, but the darkness could not cover their delicate and lovely.
The black knights surrounded them, their eyes wary, their crossbows already wounded and ready for a salvo with just one command, while their other hand was pressed against the hilt of their swords in order to unsheath them as quickly as possible.
Qin Ke didn't bother to pay attention to these soldiers who only knew how to obey orders, and looked around. In the firelight, he could see a long distance with his eyes, but the whole stone henge was too large, and even if he looked at it, he could only see countless boulders, and it seemed that except for this side, there was no grass at all.
This gradually made him lose interest.
Zhuge Wanling and Wang Xuanwei walked in the front, talking about something from time to time, probably about the "Nine Palaces", "Eight Gates" and "Directions" and the like, but it was difficult and obscure, except for Abu who kept frowning and wanted to know something, no one was listening.
"Dumen has come out, where should I go now?"
Zhuge Wanling pondered for a moment, turned around, and walked in one direction: "This side should be Jingmen." ”
Jingmen. Jingmen lives in the south of the palace, which belongs to fire.
"It's hot. Qin Ke frowned.
Abu nodded, wiped the sweat from his forehead, he also felt it, just entered this stone formation, but around it was like burning hundreds of catties of firewood, and the huge heat wave was agitating and rushing over, and even the boulder was so hot that it couldn't be touched.
The black riders were wearing leather armor, which was naturally more uncomfortable than Abu and Qin Ke, who were dressed in linen, and once they were wet with sweat, they would shrink and tighten. But their eyes remained the same, like a group of wooden people.
"The Black Rider is really powerful. Abu exclaimed.
Qin Ke has a slight resentment towards Wang Xuan, and naturally he doesn't have that much respect for the black horse, although Daoxiang Village is in the territory of the Mo family, but in the troubled times, the people are like fallen leaves falling on the lake, and they can't help it, and they can't care about any nation-state.
"Isn't it just pretending to be cold? Qin Ke snorted.
Abu hurriedly covered his mouth, and the sweat on his hands made Qin Ke babble after breaking free.
Abu apologized slightly, and then said, "You can't say that. The black cavalry is a rare strong soldier in the world, well-trained, and rare in the world. ”
Of course, Qin Ke knew that from Gao Changgong's attack to the python raid later, this group of black riders had already shown their will like steel. Such an army would be a formidable beast on the battlefield, tearing the enemy to the ground when they struck into the enemy's array.
He had seen a lot of battlefields as a child, but now he didn't want to think back to the boundless bones and starving ground. If it weren't for the war, his parents, brothers, and sisters would not have died.
"You say, why are you fighting?" Qin Ke asked.
"Hmm, why do you want to fight?" Abu was stunned and thought about it, "Probably because there were too many kings in the previous dynasty, right?" Mr. said that the reason why the previous dynasty was crowned was because the power of the scholars was too great and threatened the imperial power, so the emperor kept giving them fiefs from his relatives, hoping to consolidate his authority. But then the emperor died, and there was no suitable candidate to inherit the throne, and all the kings were noisy and wanted to be emperor themselves, so they fought. ”
"Not about that. Qin Ke suddenly felt a little sad, "I mean, why do people have to fight?"
Abu looked at Qin Ke and scratched his head: "Huh...... I can't say anything about this. Maybe it's better to fight than to fight?"
"Hmm. Of course, Qin Ke knew that it wasn't that simple, but he didn't understand it either, so he reached out and fanned the wind on his face vigorously, and said, "It's so hot." ”
Gao Changgong stood behind the two young men, listening to their conversation, and smiled slightly. He was also unarmoured, but a white cotton robe, which had been stained in many places along the way. But what no one noticed was that in this hot situation, he didn't even sweat a drop of sweat all over his body, and even, his expression was so pleasant that he didn't feel the heat at all.
"What's next?" Wang Xuanwei asked at this time.
"Hugh. Zhuge Wanling wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled slightly.
