21, Nine Palace Bagua Array

After the matter was dealt with, they went their separate ways, only Mei Ji and Ling Ji did not leave, they just wanted to confirm their thoughts, in fact, they didn't need to do more, but they were still entangled in their hearts.

"They're going to die, aren't they?"

"Whoever can prevent the enemy from reaching will do harm. If you can't get out or get in, that's harm. For the sake of Ghost Valley, adults also have to activate the mechanism, which is an inevitable means. ”

"That's what you all think, don't you?"

"Yes, not only I know, Manzhu and Shahua all know that this is a war between you and me, who wants to die? For so many years, you have ignored everything, regardless of everything, you have no worries about everything, and live leisurely and happily in your blessed land, but now it is time to be involved in the world to hone and hone, many things you have to slowly learn to face, and you must also learn to accept, and even do things against your will for the sake of the purpose. If it weren't for the Ghost Valley, we wouldn't be willing to kill people so ruthlessly? Do you want them to pass on the information, and the martial arts halls will capture the Ghost Valley, and more than 500 of our disciples will die under their swords?

"Do you have to die?"

"One living person, one mind, six living people, six minds, only when they die, will they not disturb people's minds, let alone cause trouble to people. ”

Lingji was sad in her heart, and everything she said was a stab in her heart, she didn't want to face such a world, face such a group of people, but she raised herself here and gave herself a lot, maybe she shouldn't close herself anymore, she should take action to contribute to Ghost Valley, she whispered: "Didn't you say that there is still someone?"

He fled. ”

"Deliberately?"

"Yes. But escaping won't affect our plans. ”

"If he can escape, then he must not be an idle person, and he has already figured out the intentions of the envoy. Lingji paused for a moment, and then said, "Have you found out who it is?"

"Xingqi, formerly known as Liu Pi, nicknamed Maoyan, is a fine work of Feng Manlou, and has been in Ghost Valley for more than ten years. ”

"If Feng Manlou knows, then the entire martial arts will know. ”

"Yes, so the mechanism needs to be rearranged, or it may be partially adjusted. ”

"When are you leaving?"

"I'll leave later. ”

"I'll go too. ”

"No, it's just me uneasy if you go. ”

——

At this time, the information provided by Ghost Valley fell one by one in the mica parchment, and Ziqian also filled in the confidence provided by Zixu, and the two were discussing the topography map of Ghost Valley in full swing, when they saw Xingqi and Jin Yao running in stride, they hurriedly helped Xingqi who was kneeling on the ground with his hands and said, "Brother, I have worked hard for you for so many years." Xingqi got up and said, "Ghost Valley has been cleaning up the portal recently, and I have discussed with Liu Chen, one person escapes, and one person does not move. ”

"I know what you mean. If they are left behind, the information will be cut off, and if they escape, the information will hopefully be brought out. "Inch by inch thinking about the stakes. After speaking, Xingqi took out the two terrain maps in his arms and handed them over to Cun Jin, and Jin Yao sent his disciples to arrange Xingqi's accommodation and food, and the disciples left with him.

Ziqian on the side fell into deep thought, and suddenly sighed and said, "The wedge inserted into our interior by Ghost Valley is very powerful. It seems that they have already learned the news that we are going to attack them, so they deliberately came to such a trick to startle the snake, one is to knock the mountain and shock the tiger, and the other is to win. ”

What Ziqian said was reasonable, Jin Yao was surprised and scared, she whispered to herself: "No, okay, it's okay." ”

"What's bad?" asked Cunjin.

"If someone escapes and the secrets are leaked, then the Ghost King will have to change the current layout. ”

"Then we don't need to break the game according to the current layout, right?"

"Yes. ”

Jin Yao is delicate, clever and flexible, and the stakes can also be understood a little, in order to be sure, she said: "We also have to do a good job of countermeasures in the current layout, if it does not change, then thank God, if it changes, we also have to formulate a countermeasure, but how to change, what situation does it change? This is the most troublesome thing for us." ”

"That's what I'm worried about, now we have to study the diagram that Xingqi brought back before we can discuss it. Ziqian said.

Cun Jin, Ziqian and Jin Yao put the two maps together into one, and then compared them with the preliminary outline of the terrain map, but there were many differences, so they corrected it.

Ziqian observed carefully and said, "This seems to be the Nine Palaces Bagua Array. ”

"Is it the formation created by Zhuge Kongming?" Although he is not a master of arranging troops, he is also a well-read person, and he hurriedly answered.

"Legend Zhuge Kongming piles up stones into a stone formation, used to resist the enemy, according to Dunjia divided into rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, open eight doors, changes are endless, has the ability to resist 100,000 elite soldiers. ”

"Is it really that powerful?"

"Whether it's really as divine as the legend says, I haven't seen it, and I don't know if it's below. ”

"However, this formation is not suitable for the bamboo forest, because the position in the five palaces is the commander, commanding the formation in eight directions. Jin Yao found the problem and said.

"That's right. Isn't there a connection with the formations in the other eight directions? Cun Jin added.

"This formation is a formation within a formation, and it is difficult to deal with. It looks like we have to go to the snow cliff and visit the Zhongli sisters to solve the mystery. After speaking, after the three of them made their own preparations, they opened the way to the snow cliff.

——

The snow cliff is located in the southeast of Luoyang City, which is only ten miles away from the yin and yang, and the well water does not interfere with the river water on weekdays. The snow cliff is a naturally formed, piled up of stones, there is not a single green plant, not a single animal, no river, no guest house, just a bare stone mountain, which can be described as a rare human track, and the chickens and dogs do not smell it. Enter the mountain, walk two miles of road, you can see a huge manor, this is the rivers and lakes, and even the world's world-famous formation and weapons manufacturing everyone snow cliff, martial arts hall hall, ghost valley, yin and yang, privy council, three ya, and other important people hold weapons in the hands of the snow cliff. There are famous weapons in the rivers and lakes, such as the elegant sword of the martial arts alliance leader Wan Qicheng, the shadow sword, the hidden weapon insinuation of Murong He, the owner of the Yuyi Pavilion, the gentleman's sword of the master of the Confucius Pavilion, the gentleman's sword, the yin and yang soft sword of the ghost valley spirit messenger Lingji, etc., and so on.

According to the regulations, the vulture and the gray crow will go to the Yupei Building at three o'clock every day to leave the latest information of each sect, and if there is something to ask, they will leave a mark, and make a fixed appointment to meet in the Xiangguan Building. At this moment, Mei Ji, who was dressed in boss makeup, stood and pondered, there was nothing to hide outside the snow cliff, and it was not conducive to action during the day, Shen Shi left a mark in the Jade Pei Building, and when the two of them found out, they would naturally come to see him. As soon as she had drunk a bowl of incense, the vulture approached the table, sat down opposite, and whispered, "It is inconvenient to salute in a large court, please forgive the messenger." ”

"There's one thing to ask. ”

"Messenger, I want to ask about the foyer. ”

"Tell me in detail about the layout and mechanism of the snow cliffs. As he spoke, his tone became more subtle, and he continued: "There is another important matter, I want to steal the Xuanhuang Sword. ”

"Xuanhuang Sword?" said the vulture in surprise.

"What? Is it difficult?"

The vulture lowered his head and thought about it, and said: "The treasures of the snow cliff town are all hidden in the snow array, the snow array is the room of the old man, there are master guards in front and back, on the left is Zhong Li's boudoir "Fengzhu", and on the right is Zhong Liyan's boudoir "Shuyun", it's not easy to start." ”

Before the words landed, Mei Ji hurriedly said: "Then the Xuanhuang Sword is fixed in the snow array." ”

"Yes, surely. ”

"Master, I'm not afraid. The only thing I'm worried about is whether there is a mechanism in the snowfield?"

"I heard from the disciple that there was a formation in the room. It seems like...... There is metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. ”

"Five Elements Array. ”

"That's right, it's called the Five Elements Array. ”

"My lord, do you know how to crack it?"

"It's not difficult, as long as the rules are clear, it's easy to get it. ”

"When are you leaving?"

"Sneak in when it's dark. ”

"His subordinates went with the messengers. ”

"I'm on my own. ”

"The messenger didn't know that when he entered the main gate of the snow cliff, there were traps set up in every place, and they were interlocking, because he would make a sound if he was not careful, and it would be exposed. ”

"I see. It seems that there are a lot of treasures in the snow cliff!"

"By the way, I have a friend who is a disciple of Snow Cliff, and let him sleep more at night. ”

"Okay, you go and handle it. After that, the disciple left to do business.

——

At the end of the day, Ziqian and the other three rushed to the snow cliff, and a woman in blue opened the door to lead the way, and entered the Kyushu entrance of the snow cliff meeting hall together, and after saluting each other, Ziqian told the Zhong Liqian sisters the story, and the five of them surrounded the picture, carefully looked at and studied.

"This is indeed the Nine Palaces Bagua Array, but the strange thing is that the formations of the eight directions seem to be irrelevant. Zhong Li added after looking at it: "This may be Lin Hai's reason. ”。

"Yes, that's what we think too. Jin Yao said.

"The legend does not say that the Nine Palaces Bagua Array cannot be arranged in the jungle, maybe the formations in the eight directions are different, or they use the formations created by Ghost Valley. Zhong Liqian thought about it.

Inch Jin looked impatient, and asked, "Is there a countermeasure to break the formation?"

"First figure out the array in the Nine Palaces Bagua Array and the array within the array, that is to say, the layout of the eight small arrays and their operation rules, as well as the overall operation laws of the eight small arrays, so as to find the key. Zhong Liqian had an opinion.

"It looks very cumbersome and cumbersome. Inch Jin said.

"Yes, you can see that entering from the path on the edge of Lin Hai, there is still a distance of thirty meters from the formation gate of the Nine Palace Bagua Array, which means that there is still a mechanism in it. Zhongli's heart was as careful as a hair, and he guessed in his heart.

"What kind of mechanism will be set up here?" Ziqian asked.

"If you're not mistaken, this is where the hidden weapons gather. Zhong Liqian replied.

"What secret weapon?" asked Cunjin.

"It should be hidden weapons such as nail boards, short spears, poisonous arrows, etc., and maybe there is a poisonous fog ambush. ”

Zhong Liyan analyzed the possible way.

"It's insidious, it's horrible. Ziqian felt a chill on the top of his head, and he really felt that what these people were doing was really incredible.

"Yes, it has been able to stand in the rivers and lakes for decades, and the Sanya has sent troops to encircle and suppress it several times, but they have not been able to destroy it, and the former alliance leader and many righteous people have also died in the Valley of Ghosts. It can be seen that for today, they really worked hard to prepare all this. Zhongli said.

"There are those who are familiar with the arrangement of troops, those who are proficient in the production and use of drugs, and those who know the secret weapons of the organs...... It's really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Ziqian said with emotion.

"It's not Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it's Hidden Dirt. Jin Yao criticized in a hateful tone.

"Otherwise, we will divide and cooperate, and the middle direction will be in charge of the heroine Zhongli girl, and observe whether the small array of the eight directions is related?And the other eight directions, the four of us are each responsible for two directions, not only to understand what the formation is, how to operate, but also to detail the countermeasures to crack it?" Ziqian said in his heart.

"Ziqian's method is feasible. The five of them hurried, and the information they obtained was written with a pen.

——

As the saying goes: "When the moon is dark and kills people, when the wind is high and the fire is set on fire." At this moment, it is the best moment for the perpetrator, and it is also the time for the thief to commit the crime, the moon covered by dark clouds, it seems that the night is dark, the wild wind is blowing wildly, and the echo in the mountains is like the howl of the unjust ghost in hell, and it is also like walking on the Huangquan Road, only with the help of the remnant of the fire fold in his hand, can he feel a sense of security in his heart, until he saw the red and fiery snow cliff not far away, the vulture extinguished the fire fold, and took the disguised charm to the main gate of the snow cliff and said: "Messenger, look. ”

After looking at Mei Ji, it turned out that the main gate was not an ordinary wooden door, but a stone door, on which a nine-square grid was deeply carved with a knife. Mei Ji thought that the skills of this snow cliff were really everywhere and everywhere, and opened her mouth to say, "This is very simple. ”

"Double-layered traps. ”

"What?" Maggie asked in a low voice.

The disciples of the Snow Cliff were all familiar with the laws of the Nine Palaces, but when they saw the vulture using the palm of their hands in accordance with the order of the Nine Palaces, they pressed hard in the grid, and read in their mouths: "Twenty-four has shoulders, eighty-six is the foot, three on the left and seven on the right, wearing nine shoes and one, and five in the center." As soon as he withdrew his hand, he saw that the nine small squares turned one hundred and eighty degrees clockwise and stopped, and the word "meter" appeared, and the vulture struck four times in the four small squares counterclockwise with his palm, and the stone door opened. Mei Ji said: "This kind of little trick, one is not difficult, if it is interlocking, or a small formation in the array, it will be painstaking." ”

The two of them thus walked into the snow cliff, and the vulture said, "The snow array is in the middle of the snow cliff, and from here you have to pass through three courtyards, and you will arrive there." Do you see?" the vulture pointed to the disciples in front of him and said, "They have to go through the snow formation, go to the backyard "Tianzhi", and distribute the materials for making the formation and weapons, and the adults will mix in them or follow behind, so it will be inconvenient to be discovered." ”

"What about you?"

"I'm going to inquire about the whereabouts of the two heroines. Then he left.
