As soon as his foot touched the stone slab, in an instant, the stone slab on the entire road suddenly turned into a transparent void form. Bai Xiaoyi, who had lost support under her feet, was about to fall towards the magma below.

said that it was too late, and he had long been wary of the dangerous fox Mei'er, and the long tail behind him suddenly shot out, and suddenly entangled the young man in mid-air. But before the two of them could catch their breath, the mouths of the stone beasts on both sides of the corridor suddenly erupted with monstrous flames.

With a snort, flames like a fire dragon instantly swept through the entire corridor. Bai Xiaoyi didn't care about blocking the demon suppression bell in his hand in front of him, and the pale golden air shield really helped him block the scorching flames.

But Mei'er's fox tail stretched out was not so lucky, the hot flame suddenly ignited the fluff on the fox tail, and the girl who suddenly felt that something was not good desperately took her tail back, and then turned over and hid in a corner where the flames could not burn.

Seeing the flames in the corridor rushing towards this side, Ao Cangfeng caught Bai Xiaoyi, who was dragged back by the fox demon girl, and pulled him into a safe corner.

The blazing flames erupted for three or five breaths, and as the stone path gradually recovered, the flames of anger in the mouths of the stone beasts on both sides were extinguished.

Panting with palpitations, the three of them leaned against the wall for a long time and did not dare to move. It wasn't until she was sure that there was no danger that Fox Mei'er was aggrieved and held the big burnt curly tail and sobbed.

Glancing at the female devil who threw him into the trap twice, Bai Xiaoyi muttered very reluctantly:

"Hey, thank you for saving me. ”

raised a crying little face, Mei'er scolded angrily:

"It's all your fault! If it weren't for saving you, my beautiful big tail wouldn't have burned like this, you compensate me!"

smiled awkwardly, Bai Xiaoyi didn't bother to pay attention to this unruly girl. He looked at the arrogant wind beside him and asked a little dejectedly:

"It seems that this stone road is not according to the twelve earthly branches, what should we do next?"

After staring at Yongdao for a long time, Ao Cangfeng said in a firm tone:

"Don't worry, we'll try again!"

Looking at the stone pavement that had returned to normal, Bai Xiaoyi muttered with palpitations:

"No, I'm going to try...... Big Brother Proud ...... You've really risked my brother's life......"

Gently patted the young man's shoulder, and said confidently:

"Don't worry, if you go two more rows, I should be able to deduce how to crack this mechanism. ”

With a wry smile, Bai Xiaoyi stood in front of the stone road again. He turned his head hopefully, hoping to see Arrogant Wind or Fox Meier step forward in his place. But what disappointed him was that the only thing he could see was the urging gesture of the sword-bearer boy and the whip of the fox demon girl whipping one by one.

After swallowing a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, Bai Xiaoyi was heartbroken and took the first step ahead.

The "rat" slab has been determined to be safe, so the next step is to determine which one should go in the second row. The "cow" on the far right has been proven wrong, so all that remains is the "sheep" on the left and the "monkey" in the middle. After hesitating for a long time, Bai Xiaoyi asked for help:

"I said, Brother Ao, what should I do next? Can I get an idea?"

A little embarrassed frowned, and Ao Cangfeng said embarrassedly:

"Is this...... Brother Bai, your fate is in your own hands, and I think you can make the right choice. ”

The corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, and Bai Xiaoyi was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother. But looking at the situation in front of him, he had to make a decision as soon as possible, although he knew if the stone slab under his feet would suddenly disappear. Even if the slate doesn't disappear, he absolutely believes that if he delays like this any longer, the brutal lady behind him will definitely help him make a choice.

With a horizontal heart, the rogue boy decisively stepped towards the "sheep" in front of the left, he didn't want to walk the "monkey" in the middle, after all, if it was straight, he could walk over, and the person who designed this mechanism was too brainless.

As soon as his left foot stepped on the stone slab, Bai Xiaoyi instinctively raised the demon suppression bell in his hand. Surprisingly, nothing happened. The slate with the word "sheep" written on it glowed blue.

With a sigh of relief, Bai Xiaoyi immediately sat down on the ground, he couldn't stop trembling, he didn't know whether it was hot or scared, and a large amount of sweat oozed from his body.

Ao Cangfeng, who was standing behind him, showed a confused look at this time, he repeatedly looked at the two rows of stone slabs, frowning and pondering. The fox demon girl on the other side, seeing that Bai Xiaoyi was safe and sound, muttered with some disappointment:

"Hey! You keep walking, big man, why are you scared and weak after only two steps?"

Turning his head angrily, the scoundrel boy pointed at the girl and shouted:

"You, you, you, don't talk cool over there, you have the ability, you come and try!"

Mei'er grimaced at Bai Xiaoyi, and deliberately angrily said to him:

"Who made you men, you should rush to the front of such a dangerous thing. ”

The rogue boy just wanted to refute two sentences, but suddenly heard Ao Cangfeng ask with some hesitation:

"Brother Bai, do you still remember the zodiac sign corresponding to each hexagram in the Bagua direction?"

After a slight hesitation, Bai Xiaoyi replied with some puzzlement:

"Remember, the Xun hexagram corresponds to the dragon and the snake, the Lihexagram corresponds to the horse, the Kun hexagram corresponds to the sheep and the monkey, the Zhen hexagram corresponds to the rabbit, the Dui hexagram corresponds to the chicken, the Gen hexagram corresponds to the tiger and the ox, the Kan hexagram corresponds to the rat, and the Qiangua corresponds to the pig and the dog...... Wait a minute...... What do you mean......"

A strange look suddenly bloomed in the eyes of the young man with the negative sword:

"Yes, if my guess is right, the twelve earthly branches on this stone road correspond not to the zodiac, but to the hexagram position of the eight trigrams. ”

Hearing Ao Cangfeng's proposal, Bai Xiaoyi was still a little puzzled:

"But what does the Bagua position have to do with walking on this stone road? There are only eight places in Bagua, and there are nine steps on this road?"

The young man with the sword had a confident smile on his face, and he said aloud:

"Yes, nine steps, indeed. Have you forgotten that the gossip is derived from the river map, but there is another thing, there are nine seats, which are derived from the ...... of Luoshu"

Bai Xiaoyi exclaimed in surprise:

"Nine Palace Diagram!"

Ao Cangfeng smiled appreciatively:

"That's right, it's the Nine Palaces. Wait a minute, I'll draw the Nine Palaces, and then correspond to the zodiac represented by the Bagua, and you should be able to find the right path!"

As he spoke, the young man with the sword leaned down and carved the short sword in his hand on the ground. The fox demon girl on the side came over curiously, wanting to see what the two teenagers were talking about.

I saw that the arrogant wind crisscrossed and drew a tic-tac-toe grid, and then said silently:

"Two or four is the shoulder, six or eight is the foot, the left three is the right seven, the upper nine is the next, and the five are in the center ......"

With the movement of his mantra, the short sword in the young man's hand quickly marked the corresponding number in the nine-square grid. But after he finished drawing the nine-square grid, the person was stunned in place. After hesitating for a long time, Ao Cangfeng looked up at Bai Xiaoyi and asked with some uncertainty:

"Brother Bai, is the Nine Palaces derived from this Luo Shu an innate gossip or an acquired gossip?"

Hearing the question of the young man with the negative sword, Bai Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment, but he immediately suddenly said:

"Just now my first step is the 'rat', if the corresponding hexagram of the rat is 'one', then it is the acquired gossip used!" The young man looked down at the stone slab under his feet, and added in surprise: "That's right, it's the gossip of the day after tomorrow, so I stepped on the 'sheep' in the second step to be fine!"

Looking down at the nine-palace diagram he had drawn, Ao Cangfeng quickly marked the hexagram and zodiac corresponding to each number, and then said approvingly:

"Brother Bai is right! The second position is the kun hexagram, which corresponds to the sheep and the monkey, that is to say, in fact, these two stone slabs are safe which one you step on!"

Ao Cangfeng raised his head hopefully, and exchanged a tacit look with Bai Xiaoyi:

"Brother Bai, the third row of stone slabs reads 'rabbit, tiger, chicken', if you can trust my brother, the next step, go 'rabbit'!"

The rogue boy showed the confident smile on his usual face, rubbed his nose and said:

"Look at what you say, we are brothers, I can definitely trust you!"

As he spoke, the boy flew up and stepped firmly on the next stone slab.
