"What the hell is this Eighteen Formations? Why isn't it 'Eighteen Touches'?"
Wang Qiang shouted impatiently.
"The Eight Stone Formations are eight formations made of stones. Have you seen "Three Kingdoms"? After the Battle of Yiling, Zhuge Wuhou left an 'Eight Formations of Stone Soldiers' to trap Lu Xun.
If Huang Chengyan hadn't taken action in the end and brought Lu Xun out, I'm afraid Governor Lu would have been trapped alive in the formation. "
After hearing Lin Yi's explanation, Wang Qiang suddenly stood up and said:
"Wait a minute, stop it now! Although I haven't read much, don't deceive me!
The song clearly sings "The end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was divided into three kingdoms". Didn't you say before that the old Liu family were both from the Western Han Dynasty, and the Western Han Dynasty came first and the Eastern Han Dynasty came last? I still have this common sense! "
Lin Yi himself didn't expect that Wang Qiang was really not careless at the critical moment.
"I don't want to deceive you. The main reason is that the 'Eight Formation Diagram' became famous in the hands of Zhuge Wuhou. In fact, this thing had already taken shape as early as when the Yellow Emperor was competing in the Central Plains. It was originally called 'Qiujing'. method'.
Later, in Jiang Taigong's "Tai Gong's Art of War", the eight formations were already quite large.
Given the backgrounds of the Liu family and his son, it would be strange if they didn't know about this formation. "
"From what you're saying, does this thing have a solution?" Abdul asked.
Lin Yi nodded.
"There is an explanation. There are eight gates in this formation: Xiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Death, Jing, and Kai.
If you enter the door of injury, if you are shocked, if you close the door, you will be injured;
If you enter Dumen or Death Gate, you will perish.
Only by walking through the door of life, the door of scenery, and opening the door can everything be fine.
The purpose of this game set up by Liu and his son was to separate the people who had reached this point, and then defeat them one by one, and finally catch them all in one fell swoop.
It's a pity that he failed to calculate that we have such high-tech gadgets as walkie-talkies. "
With that said, Lin Yi took out the walkie-talkie again.
“Everyone, please be patient and don’t move without permission before receiving my signal.
There are three exits in this formation. I need to determine your location first, and then guide you to find the exit. "
Soon, the voices of Li Li and Professor Yu came from the other end of the intercom.
Everyone's spirits were lifted when they heard that Lin Yi had found a way out of the maze.
Next, it depends on Lin Yi's scheduling.
Judging from the situation of Yang He's death just now, Li Li's current position is either Dumen or Death Gate.
And between these two doors, there is the Jingmen.
It is the easiest position to get out of trouble.
The difficulty Li Li faces is to determine which side is north, and then determine whether his position is Dumen or Death Gate.
If it was Dumen, he only needed to face north and move to his left to get out of the Eight Stone Formation.
If it was the door of death, he could escape just by moving southwest.
"Li Li, if you stand still, can you still touch the coffin board just now?"
After a while, Li Li sent a reply from the intercom:
"I found the coffin, Consultant Lin!"
"Okay, now, get close to the coffin board, use a flashlight to carefully identify the grain of the wood on the coffin board, and tell me which side is dense and which side is sparse."
When Wang Qiang heard this arrangement, he couldn't help but curiously said:
"Old Lin, what are you doing?"
"No matter how amazing the Kunlun sacred tree is, it is still a tree, and a tree has annual rings.
The side with sparse lines of growth rings faces south, and the side with dense lines faces north.
Materials like the Queen's coffin must be very sophisticated, and craftsmen must follow the principle of consistent wood grain and direction when manufacturing and placing it. "
Wang Qiang nodded as if he understood something, and muttered: Where did you learn this skill from?
After a while, news came from Li Li:
"Look at Consultant Lin clearly, the wood grain on my left hand side is finer, and the wood grain on my right hand side is sparser!"
"Okay, listen to me now. The direction to your left is due north. Next, you keep facing north, and then move sixty-four steps behind you. If you are blocked behind you, move to the right;
If there is no obstruction, move to the left, don't be careless! "
"Copy that, Consultant Lin!"
After Li Li replied, there was absolutely no movement.
The people on the other end of the two walkie-talkies were waiting anxiously.
Time passed minute by minute, and for Lin Yi and the others, it was like a year.
If there is no sound coming from the other end of the intercom, you can imagine the consequences.
"Consultant Lin, I'm out!"
Amidst everyone's expectations, Li Li's excited shouts finally came from the intercom.
"I have come out of the fog! Consultant Lin, you are simply amazing!"
Li Li's voice gave everyone who was still trapped in the formation enough confidence. It seemed that as long as everyone strictly followed Lin Yi's instructions, they could get out of this foggy Shiba Formation.
"Okay, Li Li, you stay where you are. Bai Lu, your side may be a little complicated. You need to know your location first."
Bai Lu's reply soon came from the other end of the intercom:
"Consultant Lin, Academician Zhou and we have just confirmed the location. We are now directly opposite to the north."
Due north is where the Ximen and Shengmen are located.
In other words, they now have a 50% probability of passing directly through the Shengmen and getting out of the maze.
At the same time, there is a 50% probability that due to the influence of the Ximen, someone will be injured if they try to pass through the Ximen.
Just as Lin Yi was hesitating, he heard an exclamation coming from the other end of the intercom:
"Academician Zhou!"
"Old Zhou!"
Lin Yi hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie and asked about the situation over there.
"It's Academician Zhou. He just broke away from the team, rushed to the front, and stepped into the trap."
Everyone worked together to drag Academician Zhou out of the trap.
The sole of his left foot was scratched several times by sharp rocks full of edges, and the skin and flesh in some places had turned outwards.
Lan Yun's brother is using iodophor to clean his wounds.
Academician Zhou's voice came from the intercom.
"Hiss! We old guys have been protected by everyone along the way. Now it's our turn to make some contributions.
Comrade Xiaolin, when I was young, I had some knowledge of these Eight Formations of Strange Soldiers, so I dared to take risks myself.
The two gates in the north are either the Hugh Gate or the Sheng Gate.
The trap I fell into was injurious but not fatal. Can we now determine that our location is Ximen? "
Academician Zhou gritted his teeth and endured the pain and asked.
Lin Yi, Wang Qiang and Abdul were all in awe of Academician Zhou's behavior.
"Yes, Academician Zhou, you are currently at the Xiu Gate. You only need to go to the right for sixty-four steps to reach the Sheng Gate."
"Okay! Just wait for the news of our victory!"
The sound of the intercom disappeared again, and Lin Yi and the others once again fell into anxious waiting.
Because this team had the largest number of people, and now the injured Academician Zhou was added, these ten minutes passed extremely long.
Until finally Bai Lu's excited shout came from the intercom:
"Consultant Lin, we are out!"
Lin Yi's hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
"Okay, you guys will help Academician Zhou take care of his wounds first, and the three of us will join you later."
