Chapter 24 Chapter Twenty-Four

It can survive more than 100 meters underground. You don't need to think about it. It is definitely not an ordinary bug. It seems that nine times out of ten I chose the wrong location, otherwise this pile of deadly ancestors would not have appeared.Since it is not the Northeast Gen position, then the Southwest Kun position is the only one. We can only hope that we can get there smoothly before being overtaken by these bugs, and maybe we will have a chance of survival.If there is no way to go in the southwest, we can only fight with our backs, even if we die, we have to fight. Although the few of us ran with wind in our ears, no matter how fast we were, we couldn't beat these long-armed things.These bugs crawled and flew for a while, and in the blink of an eye, they were less than a hundred meters behind us.Judging from this speed, it is estimated that in less than two minutes, we will be surrounded by these bugs.

When I was thinking about countermeasures, I heard the willow leaf next to me scream, and grabbed it with both hands indiscriminately on the head. When I found a snow-white cricket on the head, my face turned pale with fright. His face was pale. In the blink of an eye, the large group of worms rushed closer to more than ten meters behind.The sound of hula-la flapping wings is like the tide, one after another.Liu Ye looked back, probably out of fright, and was about to collapse. I pulled the willow leaf over, snatched the flashlight from Liu Ye's hand, quickly threw it on the ground, adjusted the direction so that the light beam was shining behind us, and at the same time told Da Ya to turn off the flashlight first.

If it wasn't for Da Ya lighting the willow leaves with a flashlight, I would not have realized that these bugs are naturally happy, and we ran around with the flashlight on, naturally these bugs would follow the light and would chase us and fly all over the sky.Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough, otherwise, Liu Ye would be disfigured even if she didn't die at this moment. The thought of my head being surrounded by dense crickets made me get goosebumps all over my body. I turned off the flashlight, and it was pitch black ahead, and I couldn't see anything clearly. Da Ya and I moved left and right, pulling Liu Ye, who was still a little dazed, and ran away.

The flashlight on the ground really attracted the attention of most of Lala Gu, and the pace of progress finally slowed down.Dense swarms of crickets scrambled to gather around the light beam, flying up and down.After colliding in the air, many crickets fell to the ground together, and the crackling sound was endless. We bite the bullet and ran for a while. We couldn't run too fast in the dark, but our spirits were highly tense, and we soon broke out in sweat.Fortunately, the ground of this passage is fairly flat, without any potholes. Otherwise, with our sprint speed, if we fall down, the broken front teeth would be considered light.

We didn't stop until we couldn't run anymore, and after taking a short breath, we quickly continued to run.We staggered and ran forward for more than a thousand meters, until we could no longer hear the sound of insects, and we breathed a sigh of relief.I listened carefully with my ears sideways, and after confirming that the bugs behind me had indeed not followed, I carefully turned on the flashlight, then took out the compass to look at it, and after confirming the position, I waved at Da Ya and Liu Ye , indicating to hurry up, don't stay here any longer. By the time we found the "Dingji Stone" in the Southwest Kun position, our physical strength had been severely overdrawn, and we were almost exhausted.

Staring at this stone, I suddenly hesitated.Thinking of the scene just now, I still have lingering fears.Up to now, I can't guarantee myself whether I chose the wrong direction just now or simply went to the wrong "snake formation".If it is really wrong, then there must be many murderous intentions and extremely dangerous. Da Ya watched me stand stupidly for a long time without making a move from behind, and probably guessed my scruples, patted my shoulder, and said "Hello" to me twice: "Lai Liang, why are you in a daze, ninety-nine thanks I’ve prayed, what’s the point of trembling? Soldiers come to block you, water comes to cover you, what’s so scary!”

I glanced at Big Tooth, nodded my head, my heart swelled, I gritted my teeth, and with a firm hand, I pushed the brick in again. At the same time that the brick was pressed down, I twisted my waist and eyes, turned around and stuck tightly to the base of the wall, my hair stood on end, and I was fully alert to the movement around me. There was another strange "cracking" sound, and the inner wall slowly turned, and after a while, a revolving door suddenly appeared. Seeing that it was a secret door, we were all a little happy. Anyway, having a door is much better than a hole in the ground.The previous two times were also such secret doors, and it seemed that there was no major problem this time.Drilling through the secret door, there is a large stone hall inside, more than ten meters high, and a hundred meters long and wide.It looks like a swimming pool, the whole ground is sunken, but there is a five-meter-wide loop against the surrounding stone walls, and there are steps leading to the bottom of the pit.

The bottom of the pit is paved with blue bricks, flat and clean.The most striking thing is the four large stone pillars standing upright, arranged evenly around the center of the bottom of the pit. None of us knew why there was a big pit. It looked like a reservoir, but there was no trace of water being stored on the wall of the pit.If such a large pond is not used for water storage, I really don't know what it is for. We walked around the huge pool, and seeing that there was no danger, we went down to the bottom of the pit and turned around the stone pillars. Suddenly, Big Tooth called Liu Ye and me to go over and have a look. The pavement under his feet seemed a bit strange, different from the surrounding pavement.The entire bottom of the pool is paved with side bricks, but here it is replaced with a mixed paving of side bricks and small bricks. At first I thought it might be a flower decoration specially laid to highlight the center of the pool bottom, but soon I found that it did not seem to be collage paving. The pattern is so simple.

Due to the mixed paving of straight bricks and small bricks, six horizontal lines can be clearly seen on the ground. I dare not say anything else, because I am too sensitive to these six horizontal lines.The stone box found in the tomb circle at the beginning had such a combination lock at the bottom, which is the symbol of the hexagram.Other places may have been built by craftsmen on a whim, but here is the formation map laid out by Wu Quqiong's life, and it will definitely not be that simple. I looked at the pool, and asked Da Ya to take out all the ropes in the backpack, and then connected them together, pulling the two diagonal lines of the pool with the ropes.After finishing the busy work, sure enough, the intersection point of the diagonal lines happened to be in the center of the third horizontal line and the fourth horizontal line.

I asked Da Ya to take up the rope, and told them that there is no need to doubt, there must be a mechanism here.This large formation was originally specially arranged by Wu Qu in order to prevent anyone from doing anything to the feng shui eye here.And the eye of this formation must be the "feng shui eye".It is now certain that this stone room is the center of the entire formation, that is, the eye, and here is the extreme point of this stone room, and the feng shui eye we are looking for is at the bottom. Da Ya stretched his neck to look, raised his head and asked: "Lai Liang, according to what you said, is it true that these bricks are a mechanism, and like that stone box, it needs a specific hexagram to open, right? You know it is What is the hexagram?"

I shook my head, this formation was made by Wu Qu himself, I am afraid that it would be very difficult for outsiders to decipher it except Wu Qu himself.The point is, this thing is not allowed to try. Once it is wrong, there is no room for relaxation. If it is not done well, we will all have to throw it here. Liu Ye frowned, and asked us softly, since this is also a feng shui eye, it should be similar to the Chongwang Temple in the East City of Yehe and the Bronze Dragon Coffin in the West City of Yehe. Poetry, then this must also have something to do with the last sentence of the third section of this poem, "The high bank is the valley, and the deep valley is the mausoleum", right? Da Ya curled his lips: "The high bank is a valley, and the deep valley is a mausoleum. Isn't this a landslide!" Liu Ye explained with a smile that these two sentences mean that the high bank turns into a deep valley, and the deep valley turns into a peak. It should be said that it is a natural disaster such as an earthquake.The poem describes the scene when the disaster occurred, and it is obvious that the landform has undergone great changes. I was listening, and suddenly I had a flash of inspiration, and I quickly asked Liu Ye to explain it again.After Liu Ye finished speaking, I couldn't hide my excitement and told them that if the hexagram here is indeed a mechanism, then I guess I have guessed the key to open the mechanism. Both Da Ya and Liu Ye were taken aback, and asked in unison what it was. I smiled and told them that the sentence "the high bank is the valley, and the deep valley is the mausoleum" is very similar to the description of the hexagram image in the twelfth hexagram of heaven and earth, and it can be said to be exactly the same.The heaven and the earth are not hexagrams, Kun goes down and goes up. It originally means that after the development of things reaches a certain level, there will inevitably be qualitative changes in the opposite direction. Changing mulberry fields, deep valleys into high tombs, whether or not the Thais are in love, and the universe is turning around. I looked at my feet and made some calculations in my heart.If the key to unlocking this mechanism is the hexagram "Heaven and Earth", then the last three horizontal lines must be made into the image of "Kun Gua", that is to say, a gap must be made in each horizontal line to make the horizontal line The line breaks in the middle, changing from yang to yin. However, is it to press down the small brick in the middle?Or pull it out?
