Chapter 45: The Wheel of Life and Death
Although the black-clothed master trapped in the formation could not see clearly in front of him, he really felt the cold light of the knife and gun shooting towards him, and the stone bullet lifted by the horse's hooves on his face. Hurriedly swung his knife and slashed it, blood splashed on his face, thinking that he had killed the enemy, but he didn't know that it was his companion who was hacked to death.
Xiao Fan looked at the subordinates around him who were almost in a frenzy, and couldn't help frowning, this Wheel of Life and Destruction Formation is a Ghost Valley Peerless Formation, once in the formation, it can kill thousands of troops and horses without a single soldier.
The wheel of life and death, the cycle of life and death, life to the extreme is death, after death is reincarnation, after reincarnation is rebirth, and after reincarnation, endless, this array interprets the mystery of the opposite of things, and also clarifies the meaning of the cycle of life and death.
Emperor Shengzu of Great Xia, when he and his opponent each sat on half of the world, his first strategist Wei Xuan was the descendant of Guigu, and he set up this array to kill the enemy's 200,000 army, and since then the enemy army has collapsed, and the Holy Ancestor Emperor has created a four-hundred-year foundation of Great Xia.
After a period of slaughter of 200,000 soldiers, Wei Xuan felt deeply guilty, so he lived in seclusion in the mountains, and did not set up a plan for others in his life. Because the wheel of life and destruction array is too ferocious, it is known as the first fierce array in the world, and the Holy Ancestor Emperor personally decreed that this array must not appear on the battlefield, otherwise it will be regarded as a demon and the world will be a common plant.
This formation is regarded as a forbidden technique of the Guigu Sect, although there are two disciples of the vertical and horizontal, but regardless of qualifications, regardless of future success or failure, only those who are virtuous and virtuous are used, and they are intended to be used only as a last resort, in order to reduce the karma of killing, and I don't want to see this formation here today.
Xiao Fan let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile in his heart: The old man still chose him after all.
"The reincarnation of heaven and the destruction of sentient beings seem to be ruthless, but it leaves a glimmer of life for everything and everything, and if you grasp that glimmer of life, you will definitely die and live. There are 12 words in the "Bozhi" chapter that need to be understood thoroughly: "The whole must be missing, the extreme must be reversed, and the profit must be lost." The words that Guiguzi said to him when he left rang in his ears sounded, and he was afraid that the Wheel of Life and Destruction Array would be invincible, so he left a glimmer of life.
Xiao Fan is also an extremely smart person, regardless of the flames of war in his ears and the hissing of swords, he sat cross-legged, took out eight copper coins, and placed them in eight directions around his body.
He took out three copper coins again, divined the good fortune and evil, and the first hexagram was divided, which was the next hexagram in the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes. Xiao Fan smiled bitterly: "Isn't it that the sky is going to kill me, but I actually made such a strange hexagram, and the lower and upper hexagrams overlapped." Kan is water, Gen is mountain. The mountains are high and the water is deep, and there are many difficulties, and the trek is difficult. ”
Xiao Fan snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, if I don't want to die, what is the number of lives?" This time it turned out to be a hexagram, and it was a lower hexagram, and the lower hexagram was overlapped. Separation is fire; When water and fire meet, how can they live in peace, Xiao Fan was shocked by layers of cold sweat on his forehead.
Put away the copper coin and divinate it five times in a row, all of them were hexagrams, Xiao Fan sat on the ground, his graceful and luxurious face was now full of depression, and the shouting of killing shook the sky, but it couldn't reach his ears.
"Well, since I am destined to have no chance to compete with him in the world, it is better to die here, so as not to come to see them in the future!" desperately threw out the eighth hexagram, this is his eighth divination, the previous seven hexagrams made him disheartened, and decided that this time was a mortal situation, and he didn't have any hope for this hexagram thrown out at will.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and it turned out to be a humble hexagram, the lower and upper kun overlapped, the gen is the mountain, and the kun is the earth. Although it is a middle hexagram, it is the only one of the sixty-four hexagrams, the mountain stands on the ground, there are mountains on the ground, the ground is humble and the mountains are high, it is for the inner high and the outer low, the merit is not self-esteemed, the name is not self-honored, and the position is not arrogant, this is the glimmer of life.
"Hahaha! God will not kill me. Listen to my order, go to the south of the Gen position, and the one who comes out will enter from the northwest corner of the Kun position, and this formation will be broken!" Xiao Fan looked up to the sky and laughed, his face full of joy for the rest of his life after the catastrophe.
These hundreds of black-clothed masters were all dead soldiers who had been carefully trained by him, although they were at a critical juncture, they still obeyed Xiao Fan's orders, and after identifying the direction, they rushed towards the south together, regardless of the sound of killing in their ears, and the back of their heads was chilling.
After a lot of killing, the yellow sand in the formation fell to the ground, and it returned to calm, and the one hundred and eight stones fell crookedly, leaving only a corpse in the array, those corpses had hideous faces, and the death was extremely miserable.
Some people's pupils burst open, as if they had seen something terrible, and they were scared to death; some people's chests were cut open, and one heart fell to the side, beating freely; one person's stomach was cut open by another person, but he pulled out his intestines and strangled that person to death; still others' heads were split in half, and snow-white brains and blood flowed to the ground; and there were ......
Rao is such a group of dead soldiers who have been through a hundred battles and have long lost the emotions of ordinary people, and they can't help but have their eyelids jumping, and their hearts fluctuate.
"Bury them well, they are all my brothers, the best brothers!" Xiao Fan, a graceful and luxurious son, saw this situation, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but tremble, bowed to those corpses, and said in a deep voice.
Looking at the more than five hundred black-clothed masters he brought out, and now there were only a few dozen people standing beside him, Xiao Fan let out a long sigh and turned to leave.
"The sixty-four hexagrams of Fuxi, even the upper hexagram are flawed, but this humble hexagram, although there is no blessing, but there is no misfortune, this may be the best of the sixty-four hexagrams. If you abide by the word 'humility' all your life, you think that person will become a sage even if he has nothing!"
The Tao is natural, the extremes of things must be reversed, Xiao Fan just threw the eighth hexagram with a mortal heart, and only then did he catch a glimmer of life from this mortal situation, the way of heaven is really compassionate.
Xiao Fan, who was dressed in black, returned to the Heavenly Wolf Pass with the only dozens of black-clothed warriors left, and Harchi had already received a report to go out of the city to answer, but no matter how everyone asked, Xiao Fan didn't say a word and returned to the room by himself.
It wasn't until dusk on the second day that he came out of the room, and the handsome man in black was a little haggard at this time, and his jade-like eyes were a little less bright, as if he was suffering from a serious illness.
Xiao Fan walked towards Empress Xiao's room calmly, at this time Empress Xiao's room had been repaired, and Empress Xiao was reading a book in the room.
"Aunt Huang, tell me what you know!" Xiao Fan walked into the house, and he didn't see any courtesy, and said directly to Empress Xiao.
"Do you know what kind of books the imperial aunt reads?" Empress Xiao was not in a hurry to answer him, but asked with a smile.
Xiao Fan shook her head indifferently, Empress Xiao put down the book, and said: "Aunt Huang is reading the book of soldiers, the book written by Sun Wu, the Han soldier saint, I just saw the thirteenth chapter, called 'Use of the Chapter'. The text says: There are five rooms, there are causes, there are inside, there are antis, there are deaths, and there are life. The five rooms are all up, I don't know the way, it is called the god era, and the treasure of the human king. ”
Xiao Fan nodded and said, "Nephew understands, remember the teachings of the imperial aunt!"
Empress Xiao walked to his side, patted his hand gently, and said, "Your talent and Xia Xuehan are in the middle of each other, no one can assert that they must win against anyone, and it is really common for each other to win and lose!"
"Thank you Aunt Huang for your explanation, the little nephew will live up to the high expectations!" The downturn on Xiao Fan's face was swept away by Queen Xiao's words, and there was more profundity in his eyes.
"Don't you want to listen to Xia Xuehan's affairs? Aunt Huang will tell you now. Empress Xiao pulled Xiao Fan to sit next to her and said quietly.
Empress Xiao raised her head and sighed, that person was still her best sister, playing the piano and dancing the sword, chanting poems against each other, so chic. That person is known as the first strange woman in the world, and it is needless to say that the appearance of the country and the city alone is enough to turn all beings upside down and spread forever.
And he was also born into a famous family, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all fine, a hand poke the heart of the sword and ask himself is the first among women, the beautiful face is enough to make the bright moon on the horizon dim, everything is not different from her, so that the acquaintance of two otherworldly women must be sympathetic to each other, and hate each other.
But she took away everything that should have belonged to her, and left quietly, without a word of explanation, only leaving the loneliness to herself, and finally married a man she didn't love, and intrigued in the nine-fold palace.
Although Empress Xiao raised her head, the tears still couldn't help rolling down from the corners of her eyes, and she said abruptly: "Xia Xuehan's mother's real name is Yun Caixuan, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called Caidie Fairy, she is one of the six masters of the rivers and lakes more than 20 years ago, and she and Princess Wuluo have exactly the same face......"
***
The capital of the Great Liao Emperor is in Beijing, the palace is not as dense as Chang'an, and the streets are not as prosperous as Chang'an, and even the people on the street are much longer and less. In the south study of the imperial city, Emperor Yuanzong of the Liao State was reviewing the folds, and Princess Zhaomeng was running around diligently behind him.
"Come, father, drink tea!"
"Meng'er's strength is in line with my father's heart?"
"Father, take a break!
......
The tall middle-aged man in front of the dragon case couldn't cry or laugh, but he saw that he was wearing a purple embroidered nine-dragon robe, with a square mouth and a wide face, two eyebrows like a dragon lying down, and a bronzed face that seemed to be cut with a knife. Compared with Emperor Chongming, he is more heroic and extraordinary, and less gentle and elegant.
Emperor Yuanzong put down the imperial pen and said with a smile: "Meng'er, you are so looking forward to leaving your father and the emperor and are in a hurry to marry to the Xia Kingdom?"
"How can there be? Meng'er is reluctant to father the emperor!" Princess Zhaomeng hugged Emperor Yuanzong's arm and coquettishly, and her quiet and soft voice was enough to melt people's hearts.
Emperor Yuanzong took Princess Zhaomeng's hand and said: "Meng'er, my father has thirty-three children, and the most favored one is you, this girl, this time you marry Xia Guo, my father is really reluctant!"
"Father......" Princess Zhaomeng hung on the neck of Emperor Yuanzong, kissing like a kitten.
Emperor Yuanzong gently patted Princess Zhaomeng's jade back and said, "Meng'er, if you suffer any grievances in the Langya Palace, even if you send someone to bring a letter, my father will pour the strength of the whole country to make the mountains and rivers red, and he will also seek justice for you!"
"Thank you, father!" Princess Zhaomeng's eyes were red, she used to be naughty and left the palace to go out to play, and she came back in a month or two at most, but now she is married to a foreign country, and if she wants to return to Ning, she doesn't know what year and month she will have to wait.
Princess Zhaomeng suddenly wiped her eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, father, with Meng'er's martial arts, it is not certain who will be wronged in the future!"
Emperor Yuanzong scratched Princess Zhaomeng's nose and said with a smile: "That's right, you little naughty have given your father a headache for eighteen years, and now it's time to give Xia Xuehan a headache!"
"Father is making fun of Meng'er again!"
Emperor Yuanzong gently stroked Princess Zhaomeng's face with a pair of big hands, and said: "You say that Yifan is such a good person, why don't you like it? When it comes to martial arts and appearance, he is not inferior to Xia Xuehan by half a point, and he is the youngest generalissimo of my Liao country, and his father and emperor have seen his kindness to you all these years!"
Princess Zhaomeng's eyes were a little gloomy, and she said: "Love is a matter of two people, I am grateful from the bottom of my heart for Brother Yifan's kindness to me, but there is nothing wrong with loving someone, the fault is falling in love with someone who doesn't like you." ”
"Then can you be sure that Xia Xuehan loves you?"
Princess Zhaomeng was suddenly shocked, and there was a trace of confusion in her eyes, yes, is he in love with himself? Maybe he also made a mistake!
