Chapter 108: Seven Evil Formations
According to the record on the [Realm Master's Codex], the Nine Palace Bagua Array was invented by a person named Zhuge Kongming according to the principle of the direction of the Nine Palaces Bagua and the five elements (Xiao Lan always thought that the Nine Palace Bagua Array was invented by the predecessors of the "Crazy Man", so she also thought that Zhuge Kongming was the real name of the predecessors of the "Crazy Man".) )。 Nine palace gossip array, nine is the ultimate number, take six six three three derived numbers, one life two, two give birth to three, three give birth to all things, in addition it can also be said that Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments, two instruments give birth to four elephants, four elephants give birth to gossip, and the gossip evolves into sixty-four lines from each other, and since then the cycle has been repeated, and it has been varied.
It's just that Xiao Lan doesn't understand the description of the Nine Palaces Bagua Array on the [Realm Master's Codex], and the only thing she can be sure of her understanding is that the Nine Palaces Bagua Array is a formation that changes. She guessed that the key to breaking the Nine Palaces Bagua Array was to let those "materials" return to their respective directions and then find out the eye of the formation - the Middle Palace. The question is, how is she going to get them to their places, and where is the hellish middle palace?
Just as Xiao Lan was staring at the stones on the grass, there was a "pop", and the "Demon Tree" on the Xun position suddenly moved behind Xiao Lan and them, and immediately after, some hazy smoke rose around Xiao Lan and them.
Seeing this, Xiao Lan couldn't help but feel a little anxious. The Nine Palaces Bagua Array will change the scene once in a while, and if the scene here changes later, then she will have to find the direction and find the pattern again. So, she had to break this formation before the scene changed.
Their surroundings became more and more hazy, Xiao Wei held the unconscious Hongyun with one hand, and grabbed Xiao Lan's sleeve tightly with the other.
After Xiao Lan turned around and told Xiao Wei to follow her, she carefully observed the Nine Palace Bagua Array that had changed slightly.
However, she had just seen some eyebrows, and with a "snap", another "demon tree" shifted its position. Fortunately, she had calmed down by this time. Otherwise, she's going to go really crazy in the end.
She knew that another "demon tree" would be displaced in a few moments, and she felt that the first thing she had to do was to find out how these "demon trees" changed positions.
After several "demon trees" changed their positions in a row, Xiao Lan finally discovered the movement law of the direction of the nine-palace gossip array: if you use the inference algorithm to calculate, that is, according to the number positioning in the nine-palace diagram, five to six, six to seven. Seven to eight, eight to nine
The law of the movement of the "demon tree" and the distribution of stones on the grass, Xiao Lan finally figured out the way to return the eight "demon trees" to their places. While paying attention to the situation around her, she walked to the front with Xiaowei holding Hongyun in her arms, and then skillfully moved a few scattered small stones. Then, a few "pops" and "pops" sounded, and the eight "demon trees" that had been infinitely close to them suddenly quickly returned to their original positions, as if they hadn't moved just now.
The eight "demon trees" returned to their positions, and the smoke around Xiao Lan disappeared in an instant. Then the surrounding scenery began to brighten.
It's just that she has spent so much brain power, and the hellish Nine Palace Bagua Array has only broken by half, and the remaining half is still waiting for her.
"Eat a trench, grow a wisdom", with the previous experience, Xiao Lan didn't dare to use her spiritual power rashly, so she had to take Xiaowei and them around. Look for the Eye of the Formation.
The [Realm Master's Codex] introduced that the eyes of the Nine Palaces Bagua Array are called the Middle Palace, but it does not say what the hell the Middle Palace is. Therefore, Xiao Lan naturally thought that the damn middle palace was in the middle of these eight trees. However, Xiao Lan carefully searched for a long time on the grass in the middle but did not find anything suspicious of the formation eye
"Look, boss, there's a bronze mirror hanging from the top of that tree! Just when Xiao Lan was so anxious that she wanted to get angry, Xiao Wei, who had been following her, suddenly shouted in surprise. The word "array eye" immediately appeared in Xiao Lan's mind.
Indeed, if not for the array of eyes. Who's going to have the leisure to hang a bronze mirror from a tree?
Xiao Lan turned around in surprise and looked in the direction of Xiao Wei's finger, and then saw that there was a small bronze mirror hanging from the top of the trunk of a tree in the northwest direction.
As soon as he saw it, Xiao Lan was sure that it was the legendary array in the middle palace, and suddenly there was an urge to curse in his heart. Since it's not in the middle position, then it's going to be called the middle palace for Mao?
The Eye of the Formation has been found. Then this Nine Palace Bagua Array, which is only half left, is as easy as a breeze for Xiao Lan. After a while, Xiao Lan successfully took off the small bronze mirror that was located on the dry position as the eye of the array.
It's just that Xiao Lan thought that after breaking the Nine Palace Bagua Array, their surroundings would also undergo earth-shaking changes like the previous breaking of the Composite Array, but they stood in place and waited for a cup of tea, and the surrounding environment still did not undergo any earth-shaking changes, not even a suspicious sign.
During this period, Xiao Lan tried many times with stones, and it was certain that the Nine Palace Bagua Array was really broken, so seeing the current situation, Xiao Lan was a little annoyed.
Could it be that this is the end of the "death battle"? Impossible, right?
Xiao Wei, who was ordered by Xiao Lan not to act rashly, quietly freed up a hand and scratched his head, and then asked Xiao Lan suspiciously: "Boss, why hasn't there been any change in the surroundings? Could it be that it looks like this?"
Xiao Lan nodded, then shook her head again, and sighed lightly: "Forget it, it's not a way for us to stand here and wait." Let's go, let's go ahead. ”
In fact, if you ignore the hidden crisis in the shadows and just look at it visually, the environment here is really good: in addition to the green grass and green trees, there are many exotic flowers and plants, and from time to time there will be bursts of floral fragrance. However, they had been paying close attention to their surroundings and had discovered a terrible fact: there were no other animals here except the five of them.
Seeing and listening to all directions, Xiao Lan walked forward cautiously, always concentrating on the surrounding environment. She didn't think that they would be able to leave here safely after breaking the Nine Palace Bagua Array, it was just a Nine Palace Bagua Array plus a composite array, this "Death Array" was inconsistent with the terrifying "Death Array" introduced by Hongyun before, and there must be a hidden crisis here.
Suddenly. A strong wind blew from the east, causing the trees around them to rattle.
As soon as he found out that something was wrong, Xiao Lan took out the "red phosphorus" in the space ring and prepared for defense. There must be demons when the wind rises for no reason.
After a while, the wind gradually eased, and the trees around them returned to calm. But it was all too quiet. It was in sharp contrast to the strong wind just now. The "red phosphorus" in Xiao Lan's hand was held tighter.
Next, Xiao Lan and the others found that the wind around them seemed to have suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and the air was terrifyingly suffocated. Of course, it wasn't just silence that could hide everything, and there was a dead silence around them, as if all the creatures around them had lost their lives in an instant. The trees were still green, the grass was still green, and the flowers were still beautiful, but all of this made them feel no breath of life.
Xiao Lan's palms were filled with cold sweat. The cold sweat on her right hand slowly seeped into the hilt of the "Red Phosphorus", and she felt a chilling murderous aura.
When Xiao Lan was carefully searching for the source of the murderous qi, Hongyun, who had swallowed the second antidote pill long before the Nine Palace Bagua Array was broken, slowly woke up, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Wei with a nervous look on his face, and then he saw Xiao Lan's back who was tense all over, and he immediately sensed that something was wrong with his surroundings.
"Hongyun, can you fight like this now? If you can, hurry up and prepare for defense!" Hongyun just opened his eyes. Xiao Lan found that he had woken up, but there was no time to say more. I had to remind him to get ready.
"Hmm. How long have I been in a coma?" Hongyun knew that Xiao Lan was vigilant around him, and he didn't dare to disturb Xiao Lan, so he had to ask Xiao Wei, who was looking at him with concern.
"Half a day. Xiao Wei found that Hongyun was really fine, so he let go of the hand that was holding him.
"Huh!"
Xiao Lan, who was extremely vigilant, suddenly heard a strange sound behind everyone, and then she hurriedly reminded the two who were still talking: "Be careful!"
As he spoke, Xiao Lan had already flashed behind Hongyun and them to meet something that suddenly came out from behind.
It was a man dressed in the costume of the people of the dream world, no. To be precise, it was a living dead dressed in the costumes of the people of the Dream Realm. The flesh of the living dead had long since rotted, and the stench of corpses emanated from his body, and in his hand he held a sword already covered in rust.
At this time, Xiao Lan finally understood why there were no bones of the previous intruders here. It turned out that it wasn't like those people died uselessly on the first composite formation. Instead, all those who died in that Nine Palaces Bagua Array were turned into extremely aggressive corpse puppets by this naturally formed Seven Evil Array.
The corpse puppet attacked Xiao Lan, and at this time, Xiao Lan didn't care about the "red phosphorus" that might stain her, and as soon as her spiritual power was running, she beckoned her with a "hot wave".
With a "snap", the corpse puppet was directly crushed by Xiao Lan's sword qi, and then shattered into pieces of disgusting things and fell to the ground.
Looking at the broken corpses on the ground, the stomachs of the three of them churned. To be honest, although the strength of this corpse puppet is very weak, it is very disgusting.
Just when Xiao Lan and the others were sick to their stomachs and wanted to vomit, there were two sounds, and two corpse puppets holding rusty big knives appeared in the front and back directions of them at the same time.
If Xiao Lan was not mistaken, that thing seemed to appear out of thin air
Xiao Lan and Hongyun glanced at each other, and then tacitly confronted a corpse puppet by themselves, and after a while, they dealt with the disgusting corpse puppet. However, just as the two corpse puppets were eliminated by them, they didn't have time to buffer them, and three similar corpse puppets immediately appeared around them.
Seeing the three corpse puppets, Hongyun, who had not fully recovered his strength, immediately had a big head, and then he asked loudly in confusion while dodging away the corpse puppets that rushed towards him: "Sister Xiao Lan, how did these ghost things come out? Is this also a formation?"
"This is a naturally formed Seven Evil Array, there should be more and more of these things later, you both have to be careful with me. Also, their corpses are all poisonous, and they must not be allowed to directly contact their skin!" "The Seven Evil Formations use evil qi as primers, and the heavier the evil qi, the more corpses can be controlled by this formation, and the more poisonous these puppet corpses will be. If she wanted to break this formation, the only way Xiao Lan knew was to eliminate all the puppets controlled by this formation.
The three corpse puppets attacked Xiao Lan and the three of them respectively. Xiao Wei quickly took out the self-defense sword in the space ring, and then stabbed at the puppet with his foot exercises. But soon he discovered that his attack on the corpse puppet had no effect at all, and the corpse puppet he had cut down was not only incapacitated, but became more and more powerful.
Xiao Lan turned the corpse puppet that was attacking her into a pile of pieces, and was frightened as soon as she turned around. Seeing that the corpse puppet was about to touch Xiao Wei, Xiao Lan hurriedly told Xiao Wei to retreat, and then raised his sword to meet him.
With just one move, the corpse puppet was also reduced to pieces.
Xiao Wei looked at the broken corpses all over the ground, and the guilt came to his heart again. I can't even solve the things that the boss can solve with a sword, and it's really useless to be beaten to the point where I can't parry!
At the same time that Xiao Lan blew up the corpse puppet with one move, Hongyun also happened to get rid of his opponent, so four more corpse puppets immediately appeared.
Xiao Lan just wanted to go up to meet the battle, but found that Xiao Wei was still stunned, and couldn't help but remind: "Xiao Wei, don't be stunned anymore! You haven't practiced, don't face those corpses head-on later!" Judging from the situation where Xiao Wei faced that puppet just now, ordinary people who have not cultivated should not be able to deal with this kind of thing.
Xiao Wei nodded helplessly, and then dodged the corpse puppet that attacked him. He knew that now was not the time for him to be depressed.
Xiao Lan quickly eliminated two of the puppets, and then met the puppet that attacked Xiao Wei.
This time, Xiao Lan didn't get rid of the puppet immediately, but fought with the puppet. While dodging the corpse puppet that could only attack blindly, she said to the two people behind her who had stopped to rest: "After I solve this thing later, if nothing happens, there should be five such corpse puppets coming out immediately, so now you can eat a Hui Qi Pill to slow down." She had a sudden sense of foreboding, so she had to get them ready.
Sure enough, her hunch was correct. Just as the corpse puppet shattered under her sword, five puppets immediately appeared around it. These were five terrifying skeleton golems, and these skeleton puppets exuded a kind of danger that those corpse puppets just now did not have.
The five skeleton puppets did not rush towards Xiao Lan and them as soon as they appeared like those corpse puppets before, but invariably formed an encirclement around Xiao Lan and the three of them, and then stared coldly at Xiao Lan and them with their eyeballless eye sockets, giving Xiao Lan and them the feeling as if they were staring at their prey.
Hongyun and Xiaowei, who found themselves as prey, looked at Xiao Lan who was standing in front of them. Sensing that Hongyun was looking at her, Xiao Lan turned around and smiled helplessly at them, and then turned her head back again.
It's also the first time she's been prey to something inanimate! It's a really good experience! It's definitely a lot of face to say!
"Boss, what should we do now?" Xiao Wei's voice was very soft, so light that Xiao Lan, who was extremely sensitive in her ears, could hardly hear it. However, as soon as Xiao Wei's words fell, the ten eyeballless eye sockets looked at Xiao Wei in unison, almost scaring Xiao Wei to pee.
Xiao Lan rolled her eyes helplessly, then shook her head gently. She was signaling Xiaowei not to act rashly and not to talk nonsense.
In fact, she also wants to ask what to do (to be continued......)
