Chapter 531: Tianluo Island Formation
Lei Xiaoyan's father's name is Lei Chuxin, this is a secret that has always been buried in his heart, and he doesn't know about his righteous brother Tang Yuanxing. And "Yao Wanqin", that is, Lei Chuming, said this name accurately, which is enough to prove that his claimed identity is reliable.
"The big gift will be done later! You are seriously injured, so it is better to move less. Lei Chu said.
"Uncle, I don't know if you have ever checked, why did my father and mother die?" Lei Xiaoyan shook Lei Chuming's shoulders excitedly. Although his memories of his childhood are very vague, he instinctively suspects that it is not normal for his parents to die together in a short period of time.
Lei Chuming nodded and said, "Of course I checked." The brother and sister-in-law went to a demon extermination battlefield and were never heard from. Presumably died on the battlefield. ”
"Demon Elimination Battlefield ......" Lei Xiaoyan was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses.
"I also thought that there must be some special reason why they left the young you and went to the demon battlefield together. It's a pity that the demon extermination battlefield no longer exists, and there are countless bones buried in the valley, and it is impossible to identify the corpses of my brother and sister-in-law. The details are nowhere to be found, so I have to give up. Lei Chuming sighed helplessly, "Fortunately, you are still fine, and you can be regarded as having left a piece of blood and bone for our Lei family." Seeing that you have achieved success in cultivation and have even achieved the position of the general of the beast department, I am very pleased......"
Lei Xiaoyan interrupted him: "Uncle, but you don't make me 'happy'! Why do you want to be with pirates?"
"I have already answered, because Pang Siyuan is very strong, and I lost to him in the decisive battle, so I followed him. I will not do evil things at his command, but I will not do good things like 'punish evil and eliminate evil' either." Lei Chu said.
Cheng Yufei sneered: "Then what's the matter with Dong Shuting? How can you, a demon clan, become a brother and sister with a human race?"
"She is the daughter of the master I worship, naturally my junior sister, and she also introduced masters like Pang Siyuan to me. Lei Chuming was also calm, although his behavior was a little paranoid, his sincerity in pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts was indeed speechless.
"Well, the past is secondary. I only have one question I want to ask you," Chu Fanghua stared at Lei Chuming's eyes, "What are you going to do from now on?"
Lei Chuming smiled: "It's very simple, take my nephew and leave." ”
Lei Xiaoyan was stunned: "Leave, where are you going?"
"Go to heal your injuries, go to cultivate. Your qi is now weak and weak, and your demonic power has decreased, not entirely because of your injuries. I don't think you've practiced your 'semi-phase' yet. ”
"Uncle really saw it...... That's right, after I cast the 'True Half-Transformation', my demonic power will decrease a lot, so I won't use it lightly unless I have to. I haven't been able to come up with a solution for a long time. Lei Xiaoyan said truthfully.
"Sister Chu, what does 'demonic power retreat' mean?" Xiao Tianhe asked in a low voice.
Chu Fanghua explained: "The consumption of demonic power can be fully recovered within a certain range, just like the power of human Yuan and Meng. However, once the consumption exceeds that limit, it will cause a regression, and even if the demon power recovers in the future, the strength will be worse than before. To put it simply, the decline of demonic power is the regression of strength. ”
Xiao Tianhe understood, it turned out that this was the biggest difference between the cultivation methods of the demon clan and humans. The cultivation of the demon clan is a continuous process of accumulating and increasing demon power, and the consumption of demon power exceeding the limit will cause a regression of strength, which is the decline of demon power. However, human beings are different, the growth of human strength is in the form of a "ladder", and every time they climb "one step of the ladder", their strength will grow steadily, regardless of whether their skills are exhausted or not.
And after Lei Xiaoyan uses the "True Phase Half", although the demon power consumption is not too limited, it will still cause the demon power to reduce, which is a big problem.
"'Half-Phase' is the stunt of our Flame Tiger Clan, if you don't cultivate to the point of perfection, you will be ashamed of your ancestors and ancestors, when you heal your injuries, I will definitely train you strictly." Lei Chuming said solemnly.
"It's okay to cultivate, but ...... Now I can't go!"
"You're all injured like this, and you still want to continue to work hard for your friends?" Lei Chuming naturally didn't know about Lei Xiaoyan's inclusion in Meng Zhang's realm, he also thought that Lei Xiaoyan came for the sake of his friend's righteousness, so he said indignantly, "Heroes also have to look at the timing! Pang Siyuan won't show mercy to your subordinates just because you are my nephew! I put my words here, I will definitely not stop them if they want to kill Pang Siyuan, but if anyone dares to hinder me from taking you away, I will not be polite!"
"Brother Lei, you can go with your uncle! I am grateful that you have been so seriously injured for my business. Cheng Yufei persuaded.
"Ahh......h I don't know how long it will take me to go, that, that ......" Lei Xiaoyan scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry, and he couldn't say clearly.
Xiao Tianhe knew his thoughts after a little thought, and said with a smile: "You are going to cultivate, and it is always inconvenient to take a girl with you." Don't worry, we will take good care of Yan'er for you. ”
Lei Chuming asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"
"Uh...... Not yet, but in the future...... Hey, hey, hey, ......" Lei Xiaoyan couldn't stop laughing.
"Then you have to cultivate harder, if you don't have enough strength, what can you do to protect others? Give you some time to say goodbye, and after half an hour, we will set off immediately!" Lei Chuming urged.
"Yes!" Lei Xiaoyan had no choice but to answer honestly.
Xiao Tianhe and Cheng Yufei took Lei Xiaoyan to the beach and summoned Li Cuiyan. Lei Chuming and Liu Qinglian both thought that she was secretly following everyone, so they were not suspicious.
"Thunder...... Senior, you just left, what about your junior sister? I don't know if she entered
Entered the Bagua Tianluo Island Array to find 'Nafeng Jiao' Bi Jiuying?" asked Liu Qinglian.
Lei Chuming looked at her for a long time, and suddenly became happy: "She has her own thoughts, how can I know? After speaking, he turned his gaze to Ye Linglong, who had always been silent, "What's wrong with this girl, why has she been silent?"
"You don't have to take care of my business!" Ye Linglong didn't have a trace of anger coldly, turned around and walked to a reef and sat down, not looking at everyone.
Xiao Tianhe looked back at Ye Linglong, whose temperament had changed inexplicably, from a distance, and his heart was not good.
Half an hour passed quickly. Lei Xiaoyan reluctantly followed Lei Chuming and flew away from the sea area of Yuanming Island in the northeast direction.
Before leaving, Lei Chuming still left a little advice for everyone, and he said this: "Everyone, the 'Bagua Tianluo Island Array' in front is very dangerous, but the most dangerous thing is not the Tianluo Island Array itself. This is a thank you for bringing your nephew to me, but that's all I can say. Take care!" is a kind reminder, but there really isn't much information to be gleaned from it.
When he was about to leave Thunder Island, Xiao Tianhe said to Liu Qinglian: "Miss Liu, the further journey is more dangerous, you better not go with us." ”
"Yes, you were saved with great difficulty, why do you have to risk your life again?" Chu Fanghua also persuaded.
Liu Qinglian was unswerving: "Because of this, I must go." Even if you think I'm low, I don't care. When you are in a hurry, you don't have to worry about me. Great kindness and great virtue, do not repay people in vain. ”
Seeing that she was resolute, it was difficult for others to say anything. The group left the island and went to the sea, heading to the Bagua Tianluo Island Array.
If you want to break into the Bagua Tianluo Island Formation, you naturally have to have an understanding of "Bagua". Fortunately, in the process of cultivating the truth, gossip metaphysics is a content that must be practiced, and everyone knows it.
The eight trigrams are divided into Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui, Xun, and Zhen, which represent the eight phases of heaven, earth, water, fire, mountain, ze, wind, and thunder. The direction is the south of the sky and the north of the earth, the west of the water and the east of the fire, the northwest has mountains, the southeast is the ze, the southwest blows, and the northeast thunders. As the saying goes: "Heaven and earth are positioned, thunder and wind are thin, water and fire are caught, mountains and rivers are ventilated, gossip is wrong, and then they can change, and they become all things." It can be seen that what is contained in the gossip is the natural principle of heaven and earth.
The island array laid out by Bi Jiuying, named "Bagua Tianluo", must be based on the principle of gossip and change, and the intruder will inevitably fall into the "heaven and earth net" and it is difficult to escape. Lei Chuming reminded that the most dangerous thing in the "Bagua Tianluo Island Formation" was not the Island Formation itself, so what could it be? It seems that it can only be understood after breaking into the Island Formation in person.
Dozens of miles of treading water, a lush island appeared in front of everyone. Unlike the previous islands, this one is less sand and more trees, and is densely wooded against the outer reef. Coincidentally, when everyone landed on the island, the sun was dim for a moment, and it should have been the first day when the sun was shining, how could it suddenly be dark? Looking up at the sun, all I saw was gloomy. Sinking clouds, cool breeze. The scorching heat of midsummer in the South Seas suddenly disappeared, but there was a chill of late autumn all around.
"It's going to rain, but it's not like summer rain. Xiao Tianhe muttered to himself. Summer rains are often urgent, especially at sea. This "slow pace" that rises from the clouds and the wind is more like autumn rain.
Chu Fanghua took a deep breath: "We have entered the 'Bagua Tianluo Island Array'. ”
"Being able to cover the sky and the sun, it seems that the 'Bagua Tianluo Island Array' should be a large phantom array?" Cheng Yu said.
"Whether it's a magic circle or not has to be seen carefully. From now on, everyone must be vigilant and follow each other closely. I took the lead, Cheng Yufei was behind. Chu Fanghua commanded.
Once in the woods, the light is even darker. The grass is waist-high and the soil is soft and very uncomfortable. The people walked with their swords and swords, and after a few hours, they came out of the woods unharmed. Outside the forest is also a circle of reefs, and the waves are surging. Looking into the distance, the hookah is hazy, and the outlines of several islands are faintly visible.
"The first island of the island formation passed like this?" Cheng Yufei looked back and confirmed that this coast was definitely not the shore of the island, that is to say, everyone did not turn in the woods, and the islands in the smoke in the distance were indeed the other islands of the Bagua Tianluo Island Array.
Xiao Tianhe thought for a moment and asked, "What direction is the 'Bagua Tianluo Island Array' in Calling Thunder Island?"
"In the southeast direction. Liu Qinglian replied.
Xiao Tianhe's eyes lit up, and it seemed that he should have suddenly realized: "In other words, we are entering the island formation from the northwest direction. According to the direction of the eight trigrams, the northwest position should be the Gen position, corresponding to the Shengmen among the eight gates. The birth gate is Jimen, and it is normal that there is no danger. ”
Chu Fanghua glanced at him: "You mean, the Bagua Island Array is set up according to the Qimen Secret Technique?"
"As the saying goes: 'There is no birth of Taiji, Taiji gives birth to two instruments, two instruments give birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip.' The essence of gossip is actually the natural principle of the operation of heaven and earth, and it is a great void thing, and it has nothing to do with the actual formation. The secret art of Qimen is different, it is born and performed according to gossip, but there are good and bad fortunes. Therefore, all the formations in the world that are related to 'Bagua' are essentially related to Qimen secret techniques. This 'Bagua Tianluo Island Array' must be the same. Xiao Tianhe expressed his opinion.
Chu Fanghua has never paid attention to these, and after a careful taste, it is indeed reasonable, Qiankun Kanli Those hexagrams represent the eight things of nature, and what can really be related to the formation is actually the secret technique derived from the gossip. "If that's the case," she laughs, "then it's much easier." ”
"What do you mean?" Cheng Yufei was puzzled.
"Our purpose is to go out of the formation, not to break the formation, since the eight islands represent the eight gates, we can avoid the fierce gate and go out from the Jimen!"
Cheng Yufei's eyes widened: "Then where should we come from?"
Xiao Tianhe explained: "The other two Jimen among the eight gates are the closed gate and the open door. Hugh means 'recuperation' and should not be the way out. The opening of the door is the beginning of the opening, which can be the way out. Opening the door corresponds to the Qiangua, that is, due south. ”
Cheng Yufei was overjoyed: "That's easy to find, we entered the island array from the northwest, this island is the Gengua Island in the northwest, then the island directly opposite now must be the southeast Hexagram Island, and the island a little further west is not Qiangua Island?"
"It stands to reason that this is ......" Xiao Tianhe scratched his head, "But I'm also a little suspicious, can the island formation get out so easily?"
"This island formation was set up by Bi Jiuying in order to block the enemy. If it's really so easy to get out of battle, then wouldn't his efforts be in vain?" Liu Qinglian said.
"Well, yes, such a simple consideration makes me uneasy. Xiao Tianhe set his eyes on Chu Fanghua, and in the end, she had to make up her mind.
"When you think about it, there's something wrong with it. The opening of the door corresponding to the hexagram is more like an entrance than an exit. According to the general eight-door setting, open the door to enter, the door to stop, and the door to go out, so that it is right. But we entered through the birth door and planned to leave through the door, which was the opposite. When Chu Fanghua said this, the words changed, "However, there are only three of Jimen, we can only choose from them, and we don't necessarily have to go to the murder gate, right?" ”
So they went into the water again. In order to avoid getting lost in the smoke, the group decided to go straight first and look for Qiangua Island according to the direction of the island.
The eight islands in the "Bagua Tianluo Island Array" are much closer to each other than those outside the array, and according to everyone's estimates, the farthest distance through the island array is about twenty miles. However, due to the fog, it was not until they were only a few miles away from the island that the outline of the island was seen.
Qiangua Island is on the west side of Duigua Island.
After turning, everyone slowed down and slowly approached Qiangua Island. This island is similar in size to Gengua Island, and its "appearance" is similar, both of which are surrounded by a large area of dense forest surrounded by a circle of reefs.
After entering the woods, the scene is the same, the grass is deep and soft, which is uncomfortable.
However, Yu Fei was quite happy: "Qiangua Island and Gengua Island are so similar, it is likely that they are the exit and entrance! Maybe things are not so complicated at all, but they are just artificially 'thought' complicated." ”
"I still want to ask you, you used to live in Yuanming Island for a long time, don't you know the layout and appearance of these eight small islands?"
Cheng Yufei shook his head: "I really don't know." First, our people are basically on the main island of Yuanming, and secondly, these small islands are so inconspicuous that even if you see them, you will forget them in a blink of an eye, who knows that this place will be turned into a mysterious island formation by Bi Jiuying!" After a pause, he said again: "I hope that after leaving this forest, we can see the second island, Tuyue Island!"
"Nineteen Show Island...... It seems a little strange. Chu Fanghua suddenly said, "I haven't noticed it." ”
Xiao Tianhe asked, "What's strange?"
"Nineteen Xiu Islands, eight of which form the 'Bagua Tianluo Island Array', there should be eleven islands left. According to what Liu Linfeng said, after passing through the island array, there are two islands of Tuyue and Swallowing Sun, so where is the Nafeng Island that should be guarded by Bi Jiuying?"
Indeed, the outer side of the island array is Calling Thunder Island, and the inner side is Tuyue Island, but Nafeng Island is missing.
Xiao Tianhe guessed: "In this way, there should be no Nafeng Island, right? Bi Jiuying should be guarding this 'Bagua Tianluo Island Array' set up by him." ”
Chu Fanghua touched his chin: "Then why don't you call it the 'Nafeng' Island Formation? Don't forget, these island names are all given by the Haijiao Gang." If it were me, I would name the two islands behind the island array Nafeng and Tuyue, as for the 'Sun-Swallowing Jiao' Pang Siyuan, it would be right to live on the main island of Yuanming, why would there be another Sun-Swallowing Island?"
"Maybe it's just for the sake of neatness? In fact, the two islands of Tuyue and Swallowing Sun are already very close to the main island of Yuanming, but they are just a name, and it is not necessarily that Pang Siyuan and Shangguan Jing must be guarding the two islands. Cheng Yu flew away.
Chu Fanghua nodded: "Maybe." Tianhe is very right, there is no Nafeng Island, which means that Bi Jiuying, the 'Nafeng Jiao', is very likely to be stationed in this island array, everyone must ......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw something suddenly fly in the distance. Chu Fanghua's eyes were quick, he raised his knife in front of him, and with a "ding" sound, the flying thing was blocked, and when he looked at it, it was a small branch. Chu Fanghua was secretly taken aback, the force of the branch hitting the knife was not small, perhaps because of the sudden panic of the incident, her hand was slightly numb.
"Who is it!" Chu Fanghua shouted and rushed forward, and several other people hurriedly followed. But after chasing for a long time, there is still no one.
"Stop, something isn't quite right. Chu Fanghua turned around and looked at his companions, all of them were sweating profusely and panting, and the forest began to become unbearably hot at some point. Looking up, the bright sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, dappling the grass. She stepped on the trunk of the tree and jumped up to the treetops in two steps, good fellow, the scorching sun was shining overhead, and the sun was dazzling, like a midsummer afternoon. It's strange, it's not afternoon.
Burned by the sun, Chu Fanghua jumped from the tree.
"Ah, your head is on fire!" Liu Qinglian suddenly pointed to the top of Chu Fanghua's head and exclaimed.
