Chapter 8 Chapter 7 Dinghai Acupuncture, Life Hanging Kan Hexagram Formation

At this moment, Miaomiao suddenly made a silent gesture to Pan Jun, and Pan Jun vaguely heard something.Only in the secret room separated by a wall, Yanying leaned against the wall with a short knife tightly in his right hand, and his other arm was injured and could not move. At this moment, all his nerves were tense, in this dark secret room In it hides a monster as fast as lightning. The monster was huge in size and quick in movement, and could jump from one end of the secret room to the other in an instant.The monster was very strange, it always attacked suddenly after a very slight "squeak", Yanying tried to avoid it several times.However, the monster seemed to have a pair of night vision eyes in the darkness, and it could always catch Yanying accurately.

Three or two times almost killed Yan Ying.Thanks to the strange fountain that always popped up from the ground without losing the opportunity, the monster seemed defenseless against the fountain that suddenly appeared and disappeared, and was repeatedly injured.In this way, one person and one monster have been in a stalemate for more than an hour. At this moment, Yanying only feels hungry and extremely tired.But the whole person didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, lest the monster would take advantage of the opportunity to attack him when he was slack, and he would definitely die at the mouth of the monster at that time.

With a few "pops, pops", suddenly a stream of spring water gushed out from Yanying's feet. The water column was extremely powerful, but fortunately there was still a distance from Yanying's feet, otherwise the powerful impact of the water column would be enough to make Yanying The eagle's leg bones were broken. He moved his body slowly, and just when he heard the rhythmic "popping" sound, he remembered something. In his early years, he heard his grandfather talk about when he lost his way in the desert and fell into a valley. It was intermittent, and every time the spring water was about to come, there were always a few hollow "popping" sounds, and Yanying thought that maybe what she encountered at this time was the kind of spring water that appeared and disappeared.

Before he could think too much, there was another strange "squeak" sound, and a gust of wind hit him again, the speed was simply staggering.Because Yan Ying has domesticated animals for a long time, when he encounters an animal attack, the muscles on his body will immediately bounce his body away like a conditioned reflex, but it is still a little late, the monster's sharp claws are still on Yan Ying's body. There was a gash in his back. Yanying only felt a chill on her back, followed by burning pain, the pain was intensified when the clothes soaked in cold sweat were attached to the wound.Yan Ying gasped, and clenched her teeth tightly, her body trembling with pain, like a leaf swaying in the autumn wind.

And the monster hiding in the darkness lurked its body in the black mist in front of it, without a sound.Yanying bowed on the muddy ground, he knew that the animal in front of him could attack him accurately in such darkness, not relying on his eyes. Just like the bats on a summer night rush through the dark sky and the lush forest, but never hit the trees.Thinking of this, Yan Ying slowly stretched her chest, took two deep breaths, and then held her breath.He guessed that the monster might have detected his position from the sound and breath. However, when he was holding his breath, there was a "squeak" sound, and the monster suddenly rushed from behind him.There was another strong wind, if Yanying hadn't reacted sensitively and swung to the right, the monster would have been fatal with one blow.He fell into the mud and ran towards the other side, rolling and crawling, his movements extremely embarrassing.And the monster no longer waited for the opportunity as before, and now it followed closely behind.Hearing the footsteps behind her getting closer, Yan Ying suddenly turned over and lay flat on the ground, holding the dagger in front of her chest with both hands, only to feel the monster rushing towards her. He jumped over his body and stabbed the dagger in his hand upwards.The monster's skin was extremely thick, and the short knife seemed to hit a stone wall, and the knife made a "jingle" sound when it hit each other.The knife in his hand was thrown far away along with the huge force of the monster, and he disappeared.The only weapon that could barely defend himself was gone at this moment, Yan Ying's heart tightened.Yan Ying didn't have time to think, the monster turned around and rushed towards him again.

Yan Ying was caught off guard, and at this very moment, a fountain gushed out from the side, and the monster quickly dodged to the side, lurking into the boundless darkness again.Yan Ying half leaned against the wall panting slightly, he didn't know how long his physical strength could last. At this moment, he was half leaning against the wall and wanted to cry without tears. The dark environment around him always gave him a hallucination like a dream, but the wound on his body reminded him again and again that this was not a dream.He leaned against the wall with his hands on his knees, lowered his head and tears slowly flowed from his eyes and fell into his mouth, salty and astringent.All the memories swept towards him like yellow sand blown up by a strong wind in the desert. Too many things happened around him in just over two months. Ouyang Yanyun came to Peiping.Then he encountered a Japanese trap on the way back to Xinjiang with his grandfather, and he almost died on a cliff.Fortunately, Duan Er'e rescued him, and he survived.Afterwards, the group of Yanying finally met Jin Sumei, his longing mother, on the way from Beiping to Anyang, and turned against her sister ever since.The two siblings have depended on each other since they were young, and he never thought that the two would quarrel to such an extent.However, when the two had just settled their suspicions in the secret room, they fell into this tiger's den again.

Yan Ying felt sad, looking at the darkness in front of her eyes, the despair in her heart was infinitely magnified, extreme despair would make people frightened, and extreme fear would make people angry.He suddenly stood up from the ground enduring the pain in his back and shoulders, and shouted loudly into the darkness in front of him: "Bastard, come on, eat me if you have the ability!" He paused, seeing that the monster hiding in the darkness hadn't attacked yet, he walked towards the middle and said loudly, "Come on, don't you want to eat me? Come on!" Maybe his voice made him emboldened Suddenly louder, or bolder to make the voice louder.In any case, Yan Ying has been pushed to the brink of collapse by the endless darkness at this moment, and he has already put life and death aside.

"Yan Ying?" Shi Miaomiao and Pan Jun first heard the strange "squeak" sound from the monster in the secret passage, but now they heard Yan Ying's roar. "Well, it should be Yanying!" Pan Jun looked around the secret road, then held a torch in his hand and led Shi Miaomiao towards the direction of the voice. At this moment, Yanying is like a young lion trapped in the dark and irritated. Hearing a sound from the east, even the sound of dripping water, he will run over and roar a few times. Seeing no response, he hears a sound from the west Then rushed to the west again.

Suddenly the soles of his feet stepped on the muddy puddle, his body suddenly lost his center of gravity, and he staggered and fell heavily to the ground.He grinned and scolded angrily: "Fuck, why don't you come out!" Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly touched a hard and sharp object on the ground, which was the short knife he had just been thrown away by the monster.Yan Ying picked up the dagger, wiped the mud on the cuff and held it in his hand. At the same time, Pan Jun felt that his feet were soft, as if he was stepping on something. He exchanged glances with Shi Miaomiao and was about to let go of Shi Miaomiao's hand. Shi Miaomiao was smart. She must have read the danger signal from Pan Jun's eyes.When Pan Jun was about to let go of Shi Miaomiao's hand, Shi Miaomiao never let go.

The ground under Pan Jun's feet shattered, and the two fell down at the same time.The torch that had been held in Pan Jun's hand came out when it touched the walls of the trap. Yanying, who was full of anger, suddenly heard a sound coming from his ear, and then a black object flashed in front of his eyes. Without even thinking about it, he grabbed the dagger in his hand and rushed over, cutting the black object before it fell. poked it up. "Ah!" With a low growl, Yanying's hand retracted like an electric shock, and at the same time, someone kicked her chest heavily.Yan Ying fell to the ground but his face was still full of astonishment, his mind was blank, the one stabbed just now was definitely not a monster hiding in the dark.

"Pan Jun...what's the matter with you?" Shi Miaomiao heard Pan Jun's painful growl, and a black shadow flashed before her eyes, and she kicked in the air, and it was that kick that knocked Yanying to the ground. Pan Jun was lying on the ground, cold sweat broke out on his forehead due to the pain, Shi Miaomiao couldn't speak more than Pan Jun, so she groped on Pan Jun's body, suddenly when her hand touched Pan Jun's shoulder, her fingers were crushed. A sharp object touched it.She touched it in surprise, and felt that a dagger was deeply inserted into Pan Jun's left shoulder. "Pan Jun, hold on!" While speaking, Shi Miaomiao took out the torch in his pocket, took out a torch tied behind his back and lit it, and stuck it in the mud beside him, only to see that the dagger was completely submerged in Pan Jun. handsome shoulder.Pan Jun's face was covered with sweat, his teeth were clenched tightly, his lips turned white.Shi Miaomiao was a little overwhelmed by this situation, Pan Jun endured the pain and nodded to Shi Miaomiao with a smile.Only then did Shi Miaomiao bit her lip fiercely, pressed Pan Jun's shoulder with one hand, and grabbed the dagger with the other hand and exerted force. Pan Jun felt as if someone was pulling his bones outward, and the pain was unbearable. , "Ah", Shi Miaomiao pulled out the dagger and threw it aside. Then he took out a handkerchief and folded it on Pan Jun's wound, and tore off a piece of cloth from the corner of his clothes to help Pan Jun bandage it.All this was clearly seen by Yan Ying who was sitting on the side, and he gradually recovered from the shock just now, and quickly crawled to Pan Jun's side and looked at Pan Jun dumbfounded, then he didn't know what to say. And Pan Jun glanced at Yan Ying who was at the side and said, "You... where is your sister?" Yan Ying shook his head hesitantly: "After we fell, I was the only one! How did you come here?" "Hmph!" Shi Miaomiao said coldly, "If it wasn't for saving you, why would we come here?" "You... are here to save me?" Yanying felt a little guilty when he heard Shi Miaomiao's words. He had always complained to Pan Jun a lot, but now he put himself in danger for himself, and couldn't help feeling grateful.He knelt down in front of Pan Jun and said, "Brother Pan, I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose just now, just because there is a monster hiding in this secret room, look!" Pointing to his wound, he continued, "It's all here!" It was caused by that monster attack!" Shi Miaomiao and Pan Jun looked at the wound on Yanying's body, they were indeed injured by something.Knowing that what he said was true, Shi Miaomiao's anger also subsided a lot. After she helped Pan Jun bandage the wound, she looked around, and saw that the secret room in front of her was completely dark, and there seemed to be darkness here. The weight is average, which makes people feel a heavy sense of despair.Moreover, the humidity was overwhelming, and the thick moisture lingered around the torch, as if it wanted to engulf the fire. "What is this place?" Shi Miaomiao couldn't help asking. At the same time, Pan Jun was also looking at everything around him. He frowned and said, "The two of us were in the secret room of the 'Qian' hexagram just now, so it means that what we are now should be the Yang side of Fuxi's gossip. In addition, there are three secret chambers, Zhen, Kan, and Gen. Judging from the dense water vapor, the secret chamber we are in now should belong to the secret chamber of the hexagram 'Kan'!" Yan Ying didn't understand what Shi Miaomiao and Pan Jun said, but he knew that Pan Jun was extremely smart, and at this time Miaomiao was also a rare smart person among girls.Although he didn't have a good impression of these two, he had to admire their resourcefulness.So even though he didn't understand, he didn't ask too many questions. "Help me up!" Pan Jun endured the pain in his shoulder and said to Shi Miaomiao and Yanying.Yan Ying just wanted to go forward to help Pan Jun, but was blocked by Shi Miaomiao, she stood up and gently supported Pan Jun, Pan Jun's thoughts were all on the "Kan" hexagram secret room in front of him, and did not pay attention to Shi Miaomiao These subtle changes between Yanying and Yanying. He reached for the torch, and with Shi Miaomiao's support, he looked at the secret room and walked towards one end of the secret room.There are some rocks and puddles on the ground of the secret room, presumably the stagnant water from those fountains just now.And the top of the secret room is hidden in the dark and it is impossible to see clearly.Yan Ying picked up the dagger and carefully followed behind the two of them. He was always vigilant against changes in the surroundings, lest the monster would suddenly jump out from somewhere and kill them by surprise. While supporting Shi Miaomiao, Pan Jun took steps forward. He walked a full twenty or thirty steps, but he never reached the end of the secret room.Pan Jun's expression gradually became dignified. He knew that the "Kan" hexagram in the Fuxi gossip belongs to the fierce hexagram, and the "kan" hexagram in the eight eighty-sixty-four hexagrams is the twenty-ninth hexagram, which is also one of the "four fierce omens". One of the hexagrams, it is extremely dangerous and unpredictable, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a place of eternal doom.But the situation in front of him was extremely calm, but Pan Jun could smell a trace of uneasiness in the calm air, and this uneasiness gradually made Pan Jun's heartstrings tense. After walking for dozens of steps, Pan Jun suddenly stopped when they vaguely saw the wall of the secret room.He was stunned, and slowly moved the torch in his hand forward. The light of the torch was always surrounded by a thin layer of moisture, and it couldn't shine very far, but it was enough to illuminate the wall in front of him. As the torch gradually moved towards the wall, Pan Jun and Shi Miaomiao even Yanying who had been following them were startled when they saw a huge muddy monkey hanging upside down not far in front of them. The leather monkey is even bigger, like a calf.The head is not big, and the eyes are sunken so that only deep eye sockets remain. The most striking thing is the two pointed ears on both sides of its head, which look like bat ears magnified several times.Its claws grabbed the wall, and its body hung upside down. The dry mud wrapped his body tightly, like a set of invulnerable armor. Pan Jun made a gesture of retreating to Shi Miaomiao and Yanying, and then they stepped back slowly step by step.They just took a few steps back, only to hear three sounds of "Papa Papa" coming from the stone wall, and then a jet of water as thick as an arm sprayed out from under their feet. The water jet hit the torch in Pan Jun's hand impartially, and the torch was broken by the water jet with a "click". The burning torch fell into the puddle on the ground and was extinguished, and the whole room was once again plunged into hopeless darkness.Shi Miaomiao took Pan Jun and accompanied by Yan Ying, and quickly retreated to the opposite wall, because they didn't know how many similar springs existed in this secret room, and the force of the water jets from these springs was enough to kill. Several people leaned against the wall motionless. "That should be the monster that attacked you!" Pan Jun said in a low voice. Yan Ying nodded slightly and said: "Yes, but the monster's appearance is really bizarre, is it a monkey? It doesn't even have eyes!" "I heard that the eyes of animals that live in places where there is no sunlight all the year round tend to lose their eyes!" Shi Miaomiao kept holding Pan Jun with his hand, lest something happen to him. The sound of "squeaking" came again, and Yan Ying immediately said: "Be careful, that strange monkey is about to attack!" Pushing Shi Miaomiao, she used her strength to fall to the side, the monster missed a single hit, and immediately disappeared into the darkness again without a sound. Yanying was able to react the first time not because he reacted faster than Pan Jun and Shi Miaomiao. As mentioned before, fire-type insect repellents mainly drive giant animals. There is a natural tacit understanding between nature and animals. Sensing animal emotions at a short distance.That's why he was able to confront that strange monkey for an hour in this dark secret room. When Pan Jun was pressed by Shi Miaomiao's shoulders, cold sweat broke out from his forehead immediately.Shi Miaomiao quickly stood up to support Pan Jun, and asked, "How are you?" "It's okay!" Pan Jun said these two words almost through gritted teeth, "The secret room of the hexagram 'Kan' is indeed very dangerous. I heard that the hexagram 'Kan' is water, and the two hurdles are the same. The spring is the first risk, so the mud monkey should be the second risk!" "But how can we get out of the secret room of the 'Kan' hexagram?" Shi Miaomiao said, looking at the darkness in front of him.This place is not like the previous "Qian" hexagram secret room, even if death is approaching, it will not feel so hopeless and depressed. "Huh?" Yan Ying exclaimed, "What is this?" "Ah?" Pan Jun and Shi Miaomiao asked in unison. "Brother Pan, do you still have Huozhezi?" Yanying knew that it was Shi Miaomiao who lit the torch before, and Huozhezi should be in Shi Miaomiao's hands, but she still refused to call her name. But Shi Miaomiao didn't care at this time, she took out the fire bag in her arms and blew it to Yanying.Yan Ying took the Huozhezi and searched beside her, only to see a crack in a stone on the wall, and there was a rusty iron lock on the crack. "The exit...the exit is here..." Yan Ying said excitedly. The spirits of Pan Jun and Shi Miaomiao were also lifted. They never thought that the exit would be found so easily.However, when they moved the iron lock with great ambition, they couldn't help feeling sad. The lock in front of him was like a scaled-down millstone, with a crescent moon with extremely sharp ends drawn on it, and a small keyhole in the center of the crescent moon.The iron lock was so heavy that it seemed to be fixed to the wall, no matter how hard Shi Miaomiao and Yanying tried, they couldn't move it. Seeing that the two were sweating from exhaustion, Pan Jun said, "I'm afraid this lock can't be opened except with a key!" These words were like a bolt from the blue, and the glimmer of hope that had just sprouted was instantly killed in the cradle.Don't say that I don't know where the key is now, even if I know that the key is in the secret room, trying to find a key in such a big but muddy secret room with the light of the sparks of Huozhezi is like looking for a needle in a haystack. "It seems that we are really going to be trapped here to death this time!" Yanying, who was already hungry, just barely supported herself with the hope just now, but now her hope has turned into despair, and she immediately collapsed to the side feeling hungry and cold. . But Shi Miaomiao is not as desperate as Yanying, she is full of heart, as long as she can accompany Pan Jun, even if she is really trapped here to death, she will be satisfied.Pan Jun took the fire folder from Yanying's hand, stared at the extremely sharp crescents on both ends of the iron lock and said, "Hehe, maybe the key is hidden in this hexagram!" "Oh?" Yan Ying regained her spirits and looked at Pan Jun expectantly. Enduring the pain in his shoulder, Pan Jun smiled lightly and said, "Although the 'Kan' hexagram is one of the ominous hexagrams in Fuxi's gossip, it is not impossible to decipher it!" "Brother Pan, have you found a solution?" Yan Ying couldn't wait to leave this hellish place. "Look!" Pan Jun dipped some water on the ground with his fingers, and then drew the figure of the hexagram 'Kan' on a relatively flat stone, "What do you think the image of the hexagram Kan looks like?" Shi Miaomiao and Yanying stared at the figure for a while, and Yanying said first: "Hey, this looks like water characters written on oracle bones!" Pan Jun looked at Yan Ying with some surprise.Yan Ying smiled proudly and said: "When I was at your house, I saw some bones in your room, so I asked Uncle Pan Pu curious what those things were. He told me that they were oracle bone inscriptions, a very ancient type of bones. characters, and he also taught me a few, one of which is water!" After that, he also dipped some water on his fingers, and then wrote a character similar to "water" next to Pan Jun's character, but the strokes There are also some strange "words". "Yeah!" Pan Jun nodded in satisfaction and said, "Look at the composition of water, the two dots on each side represent water patterns, and the one in the middle?" "Could it be a mountain?" Shi Miaomiao said. "Well, it is generally believed that the line in the middle of the word "water" in oracle bone inscriptions is a mountain!" Pan Jun paused and said, "I don't think that here represents a mountain, but something else!" "Other things?" Yanying and Shi Miaomiao looked at each other, and Yanying took this opportunity to glare at Shi Miaomiao. "Have you seen it?" Pan Jun didn't directly answer the questions of the two of them, but changed the subject and asked. "Is this... related to it?" Shi Miaomiao frowned. She had read it since she was a child, but she didn't understand the relationship between the secret room of the "Kan" hexagram and Journey to the West. "Well, I heard the book said it!" Yan Ying only answered Pan Jun's question, but didn't care why Pan Jun asked such a question. "Then you all should remember Monkey King's weapons!" Pan Jun's voice did not finish.I saw Yanying said with a smile: "Dinghaishen needle iron, golden cudgel!" "Well, the Dinghaishen Needle is said to be a magic weapon used by Dayu to measure the water depth when he controlled the water. It has been buried deep in the sea, and was finally obtained by Monkey King!" Pan Jun said, pointing to the "Kan" hexagram he drew on the stone. The hexagram image, "On the hexagram image, the lesser one is the main line, then the long horizontal line in the middle should be the main line, just like the horizontal line in the middle on this oracle bone inscription. If the four points on both sides represent rivers and lakes, the middle line should be the main line. It is the one that holds the water, that is, the Dinghaishenzhen. I think the key to leaving the secret room of the 'Kan' hexagram lies in this!" "But where can I find the Dinghaishen needle?" Yan Ying pondered Pan Jun's words half-understood.Shi Miaomiao suddenly realized: "Monkey!" "Monkey?" Yanying's eyes sparkled, looking at Shi Miaomiao, "You mean it's related to that strange monkey?" "Well, Sun Wukong shrunk the Dinghaishen needle iron and hid it in..." Before Shi Miaomiao finished speaking, Yan Ying snatched it and said, "In the ears and eyes..." He was overjoyed and said: "I see, the key to open this door is in the ear of that mud monkey!" "Hmm!" Pan Jun nodded affirmatively and said, "I think if it's true, the key must be on the monkey's body!" As soon as he finished speaking, he only heard three "empty and empty" sounds, and several people leaned against the wall at the same time, and saw a spring gushing out not far away.After the spring water disappeared, Pan Jun suddenly found a problem: "Have you noticed that once we have light in our hands, the mud monkeys can still feel it even though they have no eyes, so they won't attack us. But after the torch was broken by the spring water just now It immediately attacked!" Yan Ying thought for a while and it seemed that this was indeed the case. The mud monkey hadn't attacked him when there was a fire just now: "Well, it is indeed!" Pan Jun looked at the fire pocket in his hand, more than half of it had been burned, and he had to find a way to get the key before the fire pocket was burned out, otherwise, once it burned out, the mud monkeys would definitely attack continuously, with their current physical strength , plus both he and Yanying were injured.Shi Miaomiao alone can't compete with it. But the only way to get the key is to subdue the mud monkey, which is a paradox.Pan Jun looked at the ignited fire and racked his brains. And Yanying at the side was also extremely anxious, tightly holding the short knife in his hand, he even wanted to find the mud monkey and rush up to kill it to take out the key, but he knew that the mud monkey was extremely powerful and wrapped around it The layer of silt is like armor, and the short knife has no effect on it. "Brother Pan, what should we do?" Yan Ying looked at the fire pocket in Pan Jun's hand and asked anxiously. I saw Pan Jun frowning tightly, and turned around to look at the hexagram "Kan" hexagram, suddenly enlightened, and his brows relaxed immediately: "The hexagram 'Kan' is fierce, and it is dangerous to use it!" "What do you mean?" Yan Ying looked at Pan Jun puzzled. Pan Jun smiled confidently, then pointed to the springs in front of him and said, "We will use it if we take risks!" Then they heard a "empty" sound coming from their ears...
