Chapter 145: Nine Palaces Taixuan Array
"The view is very good. Zhao Yunhui stood on the top of the mountain and said.
"Princess, just now we passed by the Lao Tzu Temple, the Dou Mu Palace, the Relief Hall and the Lingguan Palace, and this is the scripture platform, which Lao Tzu said here back then. Huang Xiao said.
"The footprints of the saint are hard to find!" Zhao Yunhui smiled.
At least there are footprints left by predecessors, and there are many Taoist temples and literati poetry inscriptions along the way, which have been preserved. Huang Xiao said.
"It's just that it's all in tatters. Zhao Yunhui said with emotion.
"Princess, in fact, the Lao Tzu Temple, the Dou Mu Palace, the Relief Hall and the Lingguan Hall are quite good, after so many years, the wind and rain, plus no one repaired it, it has fallen. And the 'Zongsheng Palace' has been warn, and now there is only one ruin left. Huang Xiao said.
"It seems that nothing can stand the test of time. This 'Zongsheng Palace' can be described as a Taoist holy land, Tang Wude once expanded in the second year, it is said to cover an area of dozens of acres, the momentum is majestic, I didn't expect to escape the dilapidated ending. Zhao Yunhui sighed.
Huang Xiao didn't answer, in fact, this is normal, there is no eternal thing. Don't say it's these palaces and Taoist temples, even the imperial dynasty has not been for thousands of years.
"Where is the site of the 'Zongsheng Palace'?" Zhao Yunhui asked.
"This way!" Huang Xiao led Zhao Yunhui to the side for more than ten zhang, and then pointed to a slightly lower hill a few miles away and said, "Princess, look, it's right there." ”
"It's not very far, go over and take a look!" Zhao Yunhui said.
Although it is only a few miles away, but after all, it is a mountain trail, and it took the two of them half an hour to arrive, this is because the two of them have exercises, otherwise ordinary people will come over, I am afraid it will take a lot of time.
All that was left in front of him was a ruined wall, and there were still traces of fire on a lot of rotten wood. These dozens of acres of flat land on the top of the mountain used to be where the 'Zongsheng Palace' was located, but now it has long been overgrown with weeds.
"These nine ancient cypresses are the 'Nine Elders of Louguan', right?" Zhao Yunhui asked, pointing to the nine verdant and vigorous ancient cypresses in front of her.
"Yes. It's these nine thousand-year-old cypresses, princess, you see, the largest one, according to legend, was used by Lao Tzu to tie cattle back then, and was called 'Tie Niu cypress'. The three trees, which resemble three goshawks with their wings outstretched, are called 'Three Eagle Cypresses'. Huang Xiao pointed to a few ancient cypresses and said.
"It's really similar!" Zhao Yunhui walked under an ancient cypress tree and reached out to touch the rough trunk of the tree.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Zhao Yunhui was shocked. After walking a few steps, I came to another ancient cypress dozens of feet away.
Huang Xiao hurriedly followed, only to see Zhao Yunhui's face solemn, constantly looking around Gu Bai, Huang Xiao stood quietly aside, without making a sound.
Following Zhao Yunhui, the ancient cypress walked over one by one, and every time she came to a tree, Zhao Yunhui stopped and pondered for a long time. And then to the next one.
"It's wonderful!" Zhao Yunhui's eyes lit up slightly and she was a little surprised.
"Princess, what have you discovered?" Huang Xiao was a little puzzled. Is there any treasure here? Probably not, after so many years, even if there are any treasures, I am afraid that they have already been dug up.
"Is that so? It doesn't seem right, so, right. Hey, it still doesn't seem right?" Zhao Yunhui didn't seem to hear Huang Xiao's question, but just muttered to herself, and her expression was also shocked.
Although Huang Xiao was puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to disturb Zhao Yunhui, because he could see that Zhao Yunhui seemed to have realized something.
After a while, Zhao Yunhui came back to her senses and said excitedly: "Huang Zhukuai, I was too excited and involved just now, I'm really embarrassed." ”
"Princess, did you find anything?" asked Huang Xiao.
"If I'm not mistaken, there's a formation here. Zhao Yunhui calmed down the excitement in her heart and said.
She actually had some thoughts in her heart, she thought of what the hexagram said, it was her chance to discover this formation, this is not an ordinary formation.
"Formation?" Huang Xiao looked around, he didn't notice any signs of formation.
"Oh, it's a broken formation, and if I hadn't studied the formation a bit, it would have been really hard to find. Zhao Yunhui replied.
Huang Xiao said in his heart, this princess should be very high in terms of formation attainment, otherwise she would not have found out. If a complete formation is traceable, but a broken one, it will not have any effect, if it is not a formation master, it will definitely not be able to see the doorway.
"Could it be that which formation master arranged it? That's really strange, arranging the formation here?" Huang Xiao couldn't figure it out, what kind of formation was laid out in the barren mountains and mountains here?
Hearing Huang Xiao's words, Zhao Yunhui covered her mouth and chuckled: "You think wrong, this formation should have been arranged when the 'Zongsheng Palace' was still there, if I am not mistaken, this formation is based on these nine thousand-year-old cypresses, and you see, there are still a lot of stone piers and stone pillars in these ruins, and these are also part of the formation base." This formation should be the palace protection array of the 'Zongsheng Palace', the legendary long-lost formation 'Nine Palaces Taixuan Array'!"
"Just by hearing the name of this formation, you know that it is powerful. "Huang Xiao had never heard of the 'Nine Palaces Taixuan Array', and said with a smile.
Zhao Yunhui knew that Huang Xiao was not proficient in formations, so she explained: "This is a very complex offensive and defensive formation, and it is one of the most powerful formations I have ever heard. ”
"Great, congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the princess for getting this long-lost 'Nine Palaces Taixuan Array'. Huang Xiao didn't expect to take the princess to play casually, and he would be able to get such a big gain.
However, Huang Xiao knew very well in his heart that being able to obtain this formation was also the reason why the princess was proficient in the formation, otherwise this remnant formation had been here for hundreds of years, and he had never heard of anyone discovering and comprehending the key to it, so that this 'Nine Palaces Taixuan Array' would reappear in the rivers and lakes.
"It's so easy, I've discovered some of the mysteries, and it's so hard to fully understand them. Don't say that this is still a broken formation, even if the complete formation is in front of me, if you want to analyze and comprehend, you may not be able to succeed. Zhao Yunhui shook her head and said.
Huang Xiao smiled a little embarrassedly, he knew that he underestimated the formation, but looking at Zhao Yunhui's appearance, even if he didn't comprehend it, he probably got a lot of benefits.
"Princess, you also know, I don't know much about formations, so you said that this 'Nine Palace Taixuan Array' is one of the most powerful formations, how powerful is that?" Huang Xiao asked curiously.
"Do you know anything about the gossip array?" asked Zhao Yunhui.
"Understand a little, in fact, in the formation, I also have some understanding of the Bagua Array, of course, it is still the skin. "Because of the 'Bagua Step', Huang Xiao has studied the 'Bagua Array' for the longest time, but unfortunately his achievements are still not big.
"This gossip array is also a mid-to-upper formation in the formation, and once a first-class master falls into it, then it will either be dead or injured. And the power of this 'Nine Palace Taixuan Array' is thousands of times that of the 'Bagua Array', and the range of its formation can be arranged to a great extent, just like here, it almost covers the entire 'Zongsheng Palace'. Of course, with such a large range, the power of this formation will be weaker, but even so, if this formation is still intact, then the masters of the top middle and lower grades will probably have to die. If the scope of this formation is narrowed, it is said that even the top masters will have to die. Zhao Yunhui explained.
"The top master, even the top master has to die, this formation is too ~~" Huang Xiao was a little speechless in his heart, this formation was really beyond his imagination.
"Such a world-shattering array is extremely difficult to arrange, and the cost is extremely high, and ordinary top masters can find that as long as they don't step into the formation, there will naturally be no danger. Zhao Yunhui said, this is the defect of the formation, although some maze phantom arrays can confuse people's minds, but they can't take the initiative to attack, and they can only exert the power of the formation when people fall into the formation. And how could those supreme masters fall into the formation lightly, unless they entered voluntarily.
"After so many years, only the princess can see this formation, and your attainments in the formation are probably unmatched. Huang Xiao sighed.
"There are no wonders in the world, and there are countless masters, and today I am lucky. Zhao Yunhui said with a smile, "Actually, when it comes to formations, you have to mention a strange book." ”
Seeing Huang Xiao's puzzled look, Zhao Yunhui explained: "In history, there is a strange book of formations, which contains countless strange formations. In fact, you must have heard of this book, the "Taiping Sutra" that was still circulating in the first two years, and has only recently stopped a little!"
"I've heard of the Taiping Sutra, but I recently heard that after the four characters of 'Heaven and Earth Fortune Dao' came out, countless people thought that they had found the Taiping Sutra, so the incident gradually subsided. Huang Xiao was a little surprised, he had always thought that he could understand some peerless exercises from the "Taiping Sutra", but now listening to the princess, this "Taiping Sutra" is mainly a formation. However, Huang Xiao thinks about it and thinks it's very right, Zhang Jiao got the "Taiping Sutra" back then, and they all said that he had the demon method of calling the wind and calling the rain and scattering beans into soldiers, I'm afraid this is because of the formation.
"Everyone has their own understanding, so you can also find countless so-called Taiping Sutras, but unfortunately, I'm afraid none of them are true. I'm afraid this "Taiping Sutra" is really lost, alas~" Zhao Yunhui sighed.
Huang Xiao hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Princess, in fact, I have been pondering the words 'Heaven and Earth Fortune Dao' for a long time, and I also have some experience. ”
"How is it, do you know what the Taiping Sutra is?" Zhao Yunhui smiled slightly, she was a little disappreciative in her heart. Even she realized a lot of results, but in the end they were all turned out to be wrong. And now, after such a long time, she has never heard of anyone who has realized the true meaning, so her mind has faded. However, seeing that Huang Xiao mentioned it, she did not refute Huang Xiao's face. (To be continued......)
