Chapter Twenty-Six: Breaking the Formation

It turned out that Hu Yan had seen a lot of moss-covered rocks before, and according to his observations, the moss-covered side of the rocks was usually the north side, while the dry and bare side was the south side. After his many tests, all of them are true. So this has become another of his skills in the forest.

It's just that what he is worried about now is that the hexagrams made of these boulders are likely to be displaced, and if they are displaced, this moss naturally cannot be used as a criterion for judging the direction. So he looked at the moss on the boulders next to him. The moss grew in the same direction.

Hu Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, if the array changed and the boulder shifted. It is very likely that it is just the movement of the hexagram, and the boulder moves regularly vertically or horizontally, which means that the boulder itself will not rotate or move randomly. The direction of the boulder does not change.

In order to verify his idea, Hu Yan suddenly fell to the ground and began to look for something else aimlessly.

This place is dark and damp, and since moss can grow such things, it is natural that there may be another living thing.

Hu Yan lay on the ground and searched for a long time, and finally found them in a pile of dry mud and rocks. It was a swarm of busy ants.

And the little ants were busy carrying the carcass of an unknown insect back to their home.

As long as he followed this group of ants, Hu Yan could find their nests, and by the direction of the ants' nests, he could also tell the direction at this time.

Because Hu Yan knew through previous observations that most of the holes in the ant nests were open to the south.

Following the group of ants, Hu Yan soon saw their nest, and sure enough, the direction of the nest was opposite to the direction in which the moss on the rocks grew. This also confirmed his previous conjecture.

Although this array changes, and the boulder may also be displaced, the ant's nest will not change much. Since the direction of the ant's nest is opposite to the direction in which the moss grows on the rock, it also means that my previous conjecture is correct, and the boulder is indeed moving vertically or horizontally, and it will not turn itself.

Now that you can judge the north and south positions, you can naturally judge the nonsense in other directions. Now what needs to be considered is how the Nine Palaces Bagua Array changes, if it is moved according to the hexagram. As long as the hexagram and the corresponding direction are displaced, the pattern can be found.

Soon, the hexagram of the gossip and the location of the corresponding direction appeared in Hu Yan's mind. That is, Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui correspond to the northwest, north, northeast, east, southeast, southwest, southwest, and west.

If the hexagram only moves vertically or horizontally, it will not be hung up, and the array will not be formed. And the only possibility can only be that the hexagram rotates with the demon platform of the central Douwu Huang Town. That is, the original hexagram and its corresponding direction change.

That is to say, if the original dry corresponds to the northwest, and the corresponding direction of the dry after the rotation is likely to be due north or due west.

Hu Yan, who had figured this out, fell into contemplation again, and he suddenly found a problem, the further he went, the more serious the problem he encountered, although the direction had now been determined, but he did not know what the hexagram was at this time, and he did not know whether the array was rotating clockwise or counterclockwise.

Thinking of this, Hu Yan can't help but be a little depressed. If you are not sure what the hexagram you are in, even if you determine the direction, what is the use. It's impossible to get out of this foggy maze by yourself!

"Great fog ......" Hu Yan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and stretched out his hand to brush the clammy and cold mist in the air: "The fog is water vapor, isn't the Kan Palace in the gossip water?"

Thinking of this, Hu Yan couldn't help but pat his head excitedly: "My pig brain, I actually forgot that fog is water vapor." Fortunately, I asked Wuqiu about some relevant knowledge about this gossip before. ”

If, as Hu Yan thought, his position is Kan Palace, then the corresponding direction should be due north. But now he didn't know how many times this array had turned, and now it had turned to that direction, and now if he wanted to determine the direction of the Kan Palace, he would have to wait.

Naturally, we are waiting for the next change of the array disk, so that we can calculate the next position of the Kan Palace through the displacement of the array disk.

And in the meantime, he had to make a mark. Not only should you mark the boulder, but you should also mark the ant's nest. Now only the ant nest can point him in the right direction.

Hu Yan didn't know how long he had been trapped in this maze, and if he wanted the array to change again, he could only wait patiently.

So Hu Yan was not in a hurry, and after making a mark on the boulder next to the ant nest, he sat down next to the ant nest and hastily drew an eight-array diagram and its corresponding direction and palace according to the direction pointed by the entrance of the ant nest.

After drawing the eight arrays, the boring nonsense observed those little ants.

As the saying goes: ants can climb mountains even if they are small. It means that although this ant is small, it can shake a mountain.

Although the ants are not big, they have a lot of strength, and in order to survive, they can often carry much larger food than themselves. They can even empty a mountain for food.

Looking at the busy group of ants, Hu Yan suddenly felt that he was no different from this small ant. In order to survive in this troubled world, I also went through hardships and endured hardships.

To this day, nothing has been accomplished. Even food and clothing are not guaranteed. And now I finally have a goal to be a man, but I am trapped in this dark cave. And those who went with him didn't know where they were lost at the moment.

Originally, he thought that he could avenge his good friend Wang Qi with his enthusiasm, but after these few days, he found that not only was he useless, but he also always dragged his companions back.

He suddenly had a sense of frustration that "the grasshopper shook the tree". Maybe he can't even compare to an ant at all, and he's just a grasshopper who can't do anything about himself. Poor creature who can't do anything.

"No, no, I'm not a pathetic worm. Even a mayfly has the ambition to shake a tree, and even an ant has a time when it grows wings and soars into the sky. I'm talking nonsense, even if it's useless now, sooner or later I'm going to soar into the sky. ”

For some reason, Hu Yan suddenly became a little excited, maybe he was born with a temperament that does not admit defeat. This is also the reason why he was able to survive after facing so many tragic things. He is not a person who only feels sorry for himself, he has his own pride and character that does not bow to fate.

Time passed minute by minute, and I don't know how long it took, Hu Yan, who had been sitting on the ground in a daze, suddenly felt some changes in the fog around him, as if it was slowly becoming thinner, and the boulder in front of him began to move slowly.

"Has the array changed?" Hu Yan felt a pang in his heart, turned over and stood up from the ground. While looking at the sketch of the Bagua array on the ground, he observed the movement of the boulder.

The boulder didn't move fast, but it was silent, and under the thick fog, it was difficult to spot without careful observation. However, Hu Yan has been waiting for this moment for a long time, and naturally any wind and grass can be discovered.

Hu Yan noticed that the boulder had been moving in the westward direction, so he hurriedly followed, because he knew that if he stood still, he would enter another palace because of the change in the array. At that time, I am afraid it will not be as simple as it is now.

Hu Yan followed the boulder all the way until the boulder stopped moving. As the boulder stopped, the fog rose again, as if nothing had happened before. But Hu Yan could feel the changes around him. Originally, there was only one road leading to the front of the boulder, but due to the movement of the boulder, another path appeared.

Hu Yan looked at these two paths with some hesitation, and he was not in a hurry to choose, after all, the situation was still unclear.

Originally, the boulder was in the southwest direction of Hu Yan's sketch, but at this moment it was moving to the west, so according to his previous inference, this array must have moved clockwise.

In this way, now not only is the hexagram he is in determined to be the Kan Palace, but also the direction in which the array is turning. If you want to leave here, you must go east, and only by going east can you leave the Kan Palace and enter the demon platform of the central Douwuhuang Town.

And the two roads in front of him, one pointing to the northwest, and the other pointing to the east.

Hu Yan didn't hesitate anymore and walked straight to the fork in the road in the east.

Although the road was still foggy, Hu Yan felt extremely relaxed, perhaps because he could get out of the maze without relying on nothing. And after determining the direction of the direction of the formation and the rotation of the array, Hu Yan obviously felt less worried and scared than before. With the moss on top of the boulder and the ant nests he encounters from time to time, he doesn't have to worry about getting lost again. Naturally, the foot travel is also accelerated. If you encounter a fork in the road, just drill the fork in the road to the east.

In this way, after passing through a few forks in the road, Hu Yan saw a high platform in the distance through the dense fog. The iron cables on the high platform are staggered, and finally converge in the center of the high platform, the center of the high platform is overflowing with golden light, and under the golden light seems to be shrouded in a monster that looks like a human but not a human, like a beast but not a beast.

Hu Yan's heart was greatly inspired, and he expected that it was the central Douwu Huangzhen Demon Platform of the Nine Palaces Bagua Array.

So it didn't stop, and a gust of wind rushed out of the maze of the Kan Palace.

Coming out of the Kan Palace maze, the fog around him suddenly dissipated, and Hu Yan finally saw the central Douwu Huang Town Demon Platform clearly.

The Wuhuang Town Demon Platform is made of huge stones, and eight iron cables full of charms hang down from the highest stones in the eight palaces of Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui, and are connected to the center of the Wuhuang Town Demon Platform.

And the eight iron cables in the center of the Wuhuang Town Demon Platform were tightly bound to a huge cyan python.
