Chapter 537

After the strong autumn wind entered the Black Forest, it just went all the way forward. He knew that Situ Qiaogan took the risk of stealing Guan Yu's head, and he must have a great plan. Now that the burden has been taken away by himself, Situ Qiao will definitely not be reconciled, so he can only go with him, and he will never escape privately. When he ran, he didn't look back to see if Situ Qiao had followed. It wasn't until he had traveled miles and reached the edge of the forest that he slowed down. I could only hear the sound of footsteps behind me, but it was Situ Qiao who followed.

Li Qiufeng suddenly stopped, turned around, and saw that Situ Qiao had reached three feet behind him. Seeing that Li Qiufeng stopped, Situ Qiao also stopped, arched his hand and said, "Brother Li, thank you for saving your life." ”

Li Qiufeng sneered and said, "I'm not saving you, I just have something to ask you." ”

Situ Qiao looked embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Brother Li is born with martial arts, I admire it very much." I didn't expect Hutouyan to say goodbye in a hurry, and I could see each other in Luoyang, it was really a blessing for Sansheng......"

Before his words fell, he only heard Li Qiufeng say: "There is no need to say these polite words." I just ask you, why did you steal Guan Yu's head?"

Situ Qiao's face changed, and when he saw Li Qiufeng's eyes staring at him, he was as sharp as two knives. His heart tightened, and he knew that if he was vague and annoyed this person, he would definitely have a hard time to suffer. Although this man is not very old, he is thoughtful and full of tricks. If you want to make a ghost, you can't hide it from him. Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Actually, in the Meditation Temple, I found a scroll left by Yao Guangxiao......

Li Qiufeng was stunned and said, "Scroll? Why didn't I see it?"

Situ Qiao said: "That scroll is pressed under Yao Guangxiao's corpse. When we entered that Buddha hall, you only thought about who killed Yao Guangxiao, but you didn't take a closer look at what was going on under his body. Then you were busy looking for a secret way to escape, leaving me alone in the main hall. I took advantage of your unpreparedness to find this scroll from under Yao Guangxiao's corpse. ”

Li Qiufeng carefully recalled the situation in the Jingxin Temple that day, and it was indeed as Situ Qiao said. At that time, when I saw the corpse of Yao Guangxiao, who was powerful more than 100 years ago, everyone was shocked. Coupled with being in a Jedi, he just wanted to escape a moment earlier. It was because he did not carefully examine Yao Guangxiao's body, but only looked for a secret passage to escape from inside and outside the hall. It's just that when everyone was busy, Situ Qiao was walking around next to the corpses of Yao Guangxiao's sister and brother, thinking that he was taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness to steal the scroll that was pressed under Yao Guangxiao's corpse.

Situ Qiao continued: "I think since this scroll is hidden on Yao Guangxiao's body, it is naturally his most cherished thing. After getting the scroll, he hid it in his arms. Then we were swept to the top by the flood, and I defended the scroll with all my might, but it was not damaged at all. After going down the mountain, I took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, opened the scroll, and only looked at a few lines, and I knew that this scroll recorded the formation map left by Zhuge Wuhou back then. I just felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest, and I just thought about carefully studying this big secret left by Yao Guangcai. He found an excuse to say goodbye to Mr. Liu, and rushed back to the capital on the same day.

"After returning to the capital, I opened the scroll and read it carefully. It turned out that after Yao Guangxiao got this array, if he got the treasure, read it carefully, and knew that this array was passed down from ancient times, and it could drive ghosts and gods to work for it. After Zhuge Wuhou got this array, his knowledge shook the ancient and modern, and he used this array as the foundation to deduce two sets of formations, one yin and one yang. The Yang Array is the Eight Array Diagram, which is used on the battle array, unpredictable and extremely powerful. The Yin Array can drive the ghosts and gods to form a military formation. When this military formation is launched, it can turn things around. Where the ghosts passed, there was naturally no piece of armor......"

When Li Qiufeng heard this, he shook his head and said, "Ridiculous, ridiculous! If this array is really so powerful, Zhuge Liang only needs to drive the ghosts and gods back then, kill Sima Yi and Emperor Cao Wei, and Shu Han will dominate the world." Why bother to go on the Northern Expedition repeatedly, and finally the stars fell into the Wuzhang Plain, ending up with a death before leaving the school, and the hero was full of tears?"

Situ Qiao said: "I also thought about it like Brother Li at the beginning, but I just thought it was a fool made up by fools. It's just that Yao Guangxiao said in the scroll that the eight array diagrams are unpredictable, and if you fall into the array, you will not survive. It's just that although this formation is powerful, it has a huge drawback, that is, it can only be used for defense, not offense. This is because at least 14,466 sergeants were needed when the eight formations were set up. If there are tens of thousands of people, there is no boundary, do you think about how much space is needed for these more than 10,000 people to form a formation? Although Wei is strong and Shu is weak, it is just that the Shu army has always adopted an offensive posture against the Wei army, and there are not many opportunities to defend with the Eight Formation Diagram. In addition, Shuzhong is already mountainous, and when Zhuge Wuhou sent troops, he could only march along the mountains, and there was no large flat land required to lay out the eight formations. It was Wuhou's several northern expeditions, and he did not use the eight formations against the Wei army. However, when Wuhou entered Sichuan, in order to prevent a sneak attack by Eastern Wu, in the flat place of the riverside several miles east of Kuiguan, he used a pile of rocks as a pillar and laid out eight arrays.

According to Yao Guangxiao's speculation in the scroll, Wuhou's eight-array diagram made of chaotic stones not only used the formation of the Yang Array, but also set up a Yin Array in the array, and it is said that seven hundred and seventy-seven skeletons were used. When Liu Bei's army was defeated, Lu Xun, the general of Eastern Wu, led the army to pursue, but was blocked by the stone henge east of Kuiguan. Originally, the Eastern Wu soldiers wanted to destroy all the stone formations, but they triggered the mechanism in the formation, causing the Yin Array to be activated. At that time, the sky was dark in the stone henge, the wind was gusting, and the sand and stones were flying, covering the sky and the earth. The Eastern Wu army fell into the formation, and all kinds of illusions appeared in front of them, and even the soldiers and generals killed each other, and it was like falling into hell for a while. Later, someone lured Lu Xun out of the formation and handed Lu Xun a letter left by Wuhou back then. It is clear that if Sun Quan and Liu Bei fight, it will be taken by Cao Wei, as long as one of the Sun and Liu families is defeated, the other is difficult to support alone, and the fall is in sight. I only hope that the general of the Wu army can focus on the overall situation and not fight desperately with Liu Beijun. After Lu Xun read the letter, he immediately led the army back to Eastern Wu. Sure enough, Cao Pi had sent a large army to Jiangdong, but seeing that Lu Xun had already brought troops back to help, he did not attack Eastern Wu.

"Zhuge Wuhou killed too much because of the Yin Array, and when he set up the array, he had to take the lives of tens of thousands of people first, so he had never used the Yin Array. When he was dying, he drew the eight array diagrams in detail into an atlas and left them for Jiang Wei. It's just that there is no record of the Yin Array in this array, and since then the Yin Array has been lost from the world. After Yao Guangxiao got the formation diagram, he was like a treasure. It's just that the Eight Array Diagram is mostly used for dignified battle arrays, and there is not much use for him. He heard that the Yin Array could reverse the situation and even bring the dead back to life, so he wanted to practice the method of setting up the Yin Array. Although Yao Guangxiao is a monk, what he practices is actually Taoism. With his martial arts, he traveled all over the ends of the earth, experienced life and death, and finally found the stone formation left by Wuhou by the Kuiguan River, and soaked in the river for nine days and nine nights, which gave him the key to the Yin Array. ”

When Situ Qiao said this, he glanced at Li Qiufeng and said, "Brother Li, do you remember the various illusions we once saw in the cave under the Hutou Rock?"

Li Qiufeng's heart froze, and all kinds of strange and terrifying situations in the cave under the Tiger Head Rock flashed in front of him one by one in an instant. He said in a deep voice: "Are you saying that we are trapped in the cave, that is, Yao Guangxiao trapped us with the Yin Array?"

Situ Qiao said: "Not bad. Yao Guangxiao hated Emperor Taizu to the bone, and he was bent on subverting the great tomorrow. It is false that he assisted Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and it is true that he is bent on letting the descendants of Emperor Taizu kill each other. Although Yao Guangxiao gave advice to Zhu Di, he also kept a hand. He didn't tell Zhu Di about these eight arrays. Yao Guangxiao was bent on using Zhu Di to get rid of the other descendants of Emperor Taizu and seize the throne of Emperor Jianwen, and then he would use these eight arrays and Yin arrays to deal with Zhu Di and seize the Ming Dynasty. I guess Yao Guangxiao doesn't necessarily become the emperor himself, but no matter who is the emperor, as long as he can get rid of all the descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Yao Guangxiao made a lot of calculations, but he still made a mistake. He originally thought that Zhu Di was just a prince immediately, more brave and less strategic, and it was easy for him to control him. But I don't want Zhu Di to be thick and fine, and he is the most vicious. On the same day, Zhu Yuanzhang distributed the monks recruited from all over the country to the kings, and when Yao Guangxiao recommended himself in front of Zhu Di, Zhu Di was already suspicious. After that, although he was obedient to Yao Guangxiao's words on the surface, he never failed to guard against this monk for a day. That Zheng He is the eyeliner of Zhu Di's faction beside Yao Guangxiao. When the battle of Jingjing is completed, it will also be the period of Yao Guangxiao's death. Zhu Di first poisoned Yao Guangxiao, and then took advantage of Yao Guangxiao's poisoning to send Zheng He to kill people. Zheng He's martial arts are proficient, although Yao Guangxiao is extremely martial arts, he just drank poisonous wine, and he is no longer Zheng He's opponent. At the critical moment, fortunately, the monk Puqia arrived, and the two joined forces to escape Zhu Di's poisonous hands. It's just that Yao Guangxiao was poisoned, and although he escaped with his life, his martial arts have been gone. He fled into the cave that had been secretly built under the Hutou Rock for a long time, and he was about to launch a yin array and destroy the Ming Dynasty. But man is not as good as heaven, and his sister rushed to the cave and persuaded him to stop tricking, which made the world uneasy. As a result, the two of them had a filthy life and died together in the meditation temple. ”

When Situ Qiao said this, he said to Li Qiufeng: "The death of Yao Guangxiao's sister and brother in Jingxin Temple, Brother Li saw it with his own eyes. Yao Guangxiao's scroll only mentions that he and Monk Pu Qia fled to Jingxin Temple, and I speculated on what happened next. It's just that Yao Guangxiao also said in the scroll that when Zhu Di was the king of Yan, he often led a large army to attack the Tartars in the north, and most of them were Yao Guangxiao's ideas. Every time he went on a northern expedition, Zhu Di returned with a big victory, beheading more than 100,000 people before and after. The reason why Yao Guangxiao encouraged Zhu Di to go north was to obtain the skeletons necessary for the Yin Array. After Zhu Di went out on every expedition, Yao Guangxiao's henchmen led people to the battlefield and smuggled the bodies of the dead soldiers back to the caves under the Hutou Rock. We have seen illusions in the caves, tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers wearing helmets and armor, forming a military formation in front of the underground palace. Although what we saw was an illusion, this military formation was real, but it was not in the stone chamber where we were, but in another huge space in the cave. These skeletons were all smuggled back from the battlefield outside the fortress by Yao Guangxiao, and they were used to form a military formation. According to my speculation, before Yao Guangxiao died, he had already set up this military array, but before it was launched, he died at the hands of his sister. Fortunately, the cave was flooded by the flood, and these tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers thought that they had been washed underground, otherwise if they were still arranged in a military formation, once launched, I was afraid that this Lang Lang Qiankun would become angry and surging with blood, and there would be no peace in the world!"
