Volume 1 Mo Shang Juvenile Journey Chapter 3 Eight Gate Formations
From the time Gu An and the others stepped into the road, they had been walking along this endless road for half a moment, if it weren't for Gu An not reencountering the marks he had made on each section of the road along the way, they would feel that this was a ghost hitting the wall, going around in circles.
"No way....tired... Tired.. Tired..... rest, rest..."
Liang Pang patted the mottled stone wall and stopped Gu An, who was leading the way, he supported his knees with one hand, and the other hand was trembling and gesturing, his wheezing sound sounded in the quiet corridor like a dilapidated bellows, and the hollow echo was so impermeable.
Gu An couldn't help but stop, he wiped the beads of sweat that were slightly oozing from his forehead with the back of his hand, turned around and walked to Liang Fat, and helped him to sit down against the stone wall.
"Boss, boss, what do you say is going on....it wasn't like this last time I came....I remember the last time I entered the door, there was a girl who gave and gave me food!.....
Liang Pang cried and mourned, gestured awkwardly, and looked distressed, he hadn't settled his dinner tonight....
"Hmm..."Gu An groaned, he also felt very strange, logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this, his mixed-race ruins are not a day or two, how could there suddenly be an endless road?
Ignoring Liang Fat's chatter that felt sorry for his hundred-pound flesh, he walked to the opposite stone wall and observed the mural lines on the stone wall.
Gu An noticed the law of the lighting torches and murals on the stone wall from the beginning of entering the road, one of every three torches must be stained with blood, and every six torches will form a new group, and the next group of six torches will be separated from a relatively large distance, and the murals are the division between the groups.
The patterns painted in the murals on the stone walls are different in size, style, and color, and the only thing that is the same is that they depict two people killing each other, and the one who was killed died in different ways, and all of them died miserably.
Take the mural in front of Gu An as an example, depicting two warriors with swords. The mural is divided into four scenes, the first picture shows two people holding knives against each other, both of them have hideous faces; in the second picture, one person has a broken arm, and the other has both eyes destroyed; in the third picture, the long knife in the hand of the person with the broken arm has been swung towards the neck of the person who has seen the destruction, and he is about to die under the knife; the other fourth picture makes Gu An look stunned: both of them stand with their backs to each other, the person who has destroyed the knife is put back into the sheath, but the head of the person with the broken arm is gone, the blood on the broken neck is like a pillar, and the long knife in his hand has been cut in half.
"What's going on?" Gu An frowned, this battle situation with no head and no tail jumped made him puzzled, he looked at every detail on the mural from the beginning to the end, and after asking himself if there was nothing missing, the gloomy color between his eyebrows became even thicker.
Standing a foot away from the wall, he looked up at the array of torches on either side of the fresco, twelve flames rising from the top of the torches, and the outer flames burned straight without wind.
"Strange ....."
Since I can't find a clue from the mural for the time being, I can only start with the two sets of torches connected to this mural. Gu An walked back and forth between the twelve torches, only to find that the four torches with blood marks were different from the rest.
He took a few serious looks, and the identification characters of the blood mark of these four torches were not the same, among them were the four characters Hugh, Du, Sheng, and Kai, with mottled handwriting, and it seemed that they had existed for a long time.
Gu An thought for a while, and after he re-swapped the positions of the four torches, the order became Kai, Xiu, Sheng, and Du.
"Open the door and live in the northwest Qiangong, the five elements belong to gold; Humen lives in the north Kan Palace, the five elements belong to water; Shengmen lives in the northeast Fanggen Palace, and the five elements belong to the earth; Dumen lives in the southeast Xun Palace, and the five elements belong to wood..... gold, wood, water and soil....The array of the five elements lacks fire....What does this mean......
Gu An frowned and muttered to himself, his eyes were as quiet as a secluded pool, he seemed to have grasped something, and he seemed to have ignored something.
"Fatty, come here. ā
Gu An looked at the stone wall and called, Liang Pang held his fat and moved to Gu An's side, this fat man was so tired that he stuck out his tongue, and he looked like a fat dog.
"What are you doing?" Liang Pang didn't look at Gu An, he was half lying on the ground, and he gestured to the little fat hand dejectedly: "I'm not going to die here, I'm still young, I haven't eaten enough of the world's food! I haven't eaten dinner today..... everyone says don't want to be a starving ghost when you die, I'm afraid I'm going to be the first ghost who is so fat and starving..."
"....." Gu An didn't know what else to say to this fat man, he suddenly felt that it was good that this fat man was dumb, otherwise he would have to be annoyed to die.
He lifted the beam fat with his foot, and bowed slightly towards the mural on the stone wall: "What do you see?" ā
"You can't even see it, can I still see it?" Liang Pang glanced at him with slanted eyes, and after seeing Gu An's sharp eyes, he couldn't help but shrink his neck in a daze. He pretended to pinch his Adam's apple, gesturing but not stopping: "This... You see... These two people must have moved their tongues at first, and they don't often talk about the battle of tongues and there is a disaster of blood and light... So... Yes, yes, draw your sword at each other! And then this severed hand... People, the heavenly court is full, the earth pavilion is round, at first glance, it is a person with great luck, but it is easy to break... You see that he is a late strike....then this blind man must be in the initiative....that... It's easy to get hurt when you move... Right.."
Liang Pang moved his eyes and glanced at Gu An, he was completely blind, who knows what this means, damn it, I'm starving to death, how can I be in the mood to play a puzzle game for you..
But in Gu An's opinion, this made him suddenly feel a sense of rising qi. He didn't know Liang Fat's thoughts, so he followed the guidance of the fat man to analyze the mural, his train of thought seemed to have found the direction, and the fat man was the wise man with the guiding light.
"Go on. Gu An said.
"Oooh.." This little fat man gestured with his hands lightly again, and the skills of making up nonsense were cultivated to the home, and his face was not red or panting, which was called a god.
"Now, here, at the last moment, the man with the broken arm said with a simple knife that it was too late to slash towards the ruined person, and used the legendary force to split Huashan! Seeing that the blind man was about to die under the knife, how could he be willing to sit still and wait to die!" Liang Pang noticed that Gu An's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, so he added even more oil and vinegar, and added all the passages he heard from the storyteller:" Since he has no eyes, the blind man's other senses will be multiplied, and he finally had an epiphany at this moment, and found an opportunity between life and death, and captured the trajectory of the man with the broken arm with the knife, so as to fight back in one fell swoop......! You're crazy, you're pinching me, why are you pinching yourself!"
But Gu An stared at the mural deadly, and muttered in his mouth: "Kanshui hedges, easy to move the tongue, and there are often bloody disasters.... If it is prosperous, it is easy to break, and if it moves, it is easy to hurt.... The air is withered, the image of gloom... Spring is born and autumn is dead... Prosperous and fierce!"
Gu An suddenly brightened up at this time, and inadvertently pinched the fat man's fat meat. This fat man who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it has done a lot of help this time, he has been going around the dead cycle of life and restraint before, but he didn't expect that this mural also hides the four characters of scene, injury, shock, and death!
"This is not the Five Elements Array...."Gu An took a few steps back, looking at the stone wall in the whole landscape, his expression gradually became solemn, and there was a look of surprise surging up in his eyes.
"This is ..... Eight Gate Dunjia!"
When the fat man heard this, he suddenly lost color, and then he seemed to remember something, his lips trembled, and his face turned pale for a moment.
"IāI'm like....on the opposite wall... I saw the same mural....."
Gu An looked at it suddenly, Liang Pang was right, the mural in front of them echoed the mural on the stone wall where they passed by, and the eight torches with blood marks and the two murals seemed to be connected together without gaps at this time.
"Gu, Gu An....what effect will the two Eight Gate Dunjia overlap......?"
Liang Fat's teeth stumbled and made a collision sound, and he quickly hid behind Gu An, only stretching out one hand to communicate with Gu An.
"Maybe....never be able to get out...."The corners of Gu An's mouth couldn't help twitching.
He kind of knew why they couldn't get out after walking for so long.... The formation of this space is based on the strength of the two sides of the eight doors of Dunjia, Jingmen and Humen as a single hedge of water and fire, its power of restraint will dissipate the blockade ability of the eight doors of Dunjia, and at this time the other side of the Jingmen and Humen for the blessing of the five elements, the operation of the eight doors of Dunjia will be eliminated The weakness, if you do not see the location of the eye of the formation, the person in the center of the formation will fall into the endless reincarnation channel, the two sides of the space are rotated and docked, you are in a new space, but also a space that has been there.
"Yes! Array Eye!" Gu An was sure in his heart, his eyes scanned the surroundings, since they had found the foundation of the formation structure, then the array eye must be hidden in this space.
"I'm going to die...."Liang Pang whimpered a few times in his hoarse and weird voice: "I'm so tired... It's so hot that it's oily....."
ā... It's so hot that .....?" Gu An was stunned: "Hot... Hot..."
He raised his head and looked at the endless torches in front of and behind the corridor, the bright flames were burning quietly, there was no sound of wind flowing here, the air had not been renewed, and the sealing power had imprisoned the air in this world.
"It's only a quarter of an hour since we came in..... it's late autumn now, even if everything in the space is imprisoned, the temperature emitted by the flames can't raise the temperature of such a vast space to such a high level in such a short period of time..." Gu An's eyes were cold: "The area we are in has never changed....but every time the mark is made, it disappears....."
"So...."
"These twenty-four fires are the eyes of the array! There are people outside the formation ....... Jiugong!" Gu An shouted.
"Fatty!
Gu An's eyes flashed with coldness, and the ring-headed knife behind his back came out of the sheath in an instant, he put the blade across his eyebrows, and his two fingers crossed the pattern of the blade. A slender trail of blood covered the dented lines of the blade, and he let out a low shout, and the silver-white straight long knife suddenly burst into white light!
"Blood Seal Qi Draining!"
