"Where did the glazed mirror come from in this man-eating canyon?"
"Old man, why didn't I notice these glazed mirrors just now?"
The old Taoist priest looked at the glazed mirrors that were broken by Jin An in the dark, with pieces of debris falling on the ground, and said in dumbfounded wonder.
"Sister, have you found these glass mirrors?"
The old Taoist priest looked at the country goddess, who looked solemn and shook her head.
"Sharpening the sword, did you notice it?"
The old Taoist priest asked Chi Jian, who shook his head dumbly.
The old Taoist priest was even more surprised this time. How did Jin An discover these mirrors hidden in the darkness?
However, when the exorcism talisman in Jin An's hand burned out, the feeling of being watched by countless evil eyes disappeared.
"Old Taoist, give me another evil amulet."
"Okay, little brother."
However.
This time, Jin An offered several exorcism charms one after another, but he no longer noticed those prying eyes.
"What's wrong little brother?"
When the old Taoist priest saw Jin Jing being silent, he couldn't help but shouted out of curiosity.
Jin An was silent for a while. He tried to search in the darkness for a while based on the direction of the evil gaze he sensed before, and slashed randomly with his cold knife. Although he occasionally got lucky and chopped a few glazed mirrors into pieces, the efficiency was not good. too slow.
He was like a blind man dancing with a knife.
There is no structure.
"Little brother?"
"Little brother?"
The old Taoist priest shouted nervously to Jin An again.
boom.
Jin An jumped up, leaped between several hanging coffins, and rejoined the old Taoist priest and the others.
"Old Taoist, there is something dirty in this man-eating canyon that is targeting us, but this dirty thing is very cunning. Since I saw through it, it has hidden deeper."
Jin An looked around and said with a hint of deep thought between his brows.
Hearing that Jin An had seen through the truth about this weird hanging coffin burial canyon in front of them, the old Taoist priest and the country goddess were refreshed. The old Taoist priest excitedly urged: "Little brother, what is the truth about this canyon of cannibals?"
"What's going on with those glazed mirrors?"
"How did the little brother see through those glazed mirrors?"
So, Jin An explained patiently: "If my guess is correct, this canyon is indeed not an illusion of ghosts hitting the wall, but a visual deception caused by the reflection principle of the kaleidoscope. The existence of this Xiantian Canyon itself It’s just a giant kaleidoscope.”
"Kaleidoscope?" Several people looked at Jin An in confusion.
Jin An thought for a while and gave another explanation: "The reason why we can't get out of this Yixiantian Canyon is because there is an expert who is good at Qimen Dunjia. He transformed the cracks in the mountainside in front of us and took advantage of the uniqueness here." The dark environment and Qi Men Dun Jia's technique transformed the canyon and changed the magnetic field here, making us trapped in Qi Men Dun Jia and spinning in circles, unable to get out no matter how we move."
"That's why you and the goddess have always been unable to find any signs of ghosts tampering with the walls in this place."
"Because we're not in the ghost wall at all."
"Rather, he was trapped in the kaleidoscope visual deception of Qimen Dunjia."
Seeing the old Taoist priest frowning in deep thought, Jin An continued to explain: "The kaleidoscope makes use of the reflection principle of the mirror. The entire canyon is magically equipped with glass mirrors, allowing us to go around like a maze. "
"This kaleidoscope can be subdivided into many types according to different visual deception effects, such as polarized type, music box type, marble type, etc. According to different terrains, an ever-changing kaleidoscope can be created without a single limitation."
"Give me the simplest example..."
Jin An began to find two broken lenses, and he drew four petals on the ground. When the two lenses reflected at an angle, the four petals turned into a complete flower with more than a dozen petals.
When the angle between the lenses becomes smaller, the number of petals reflected by the mirror becomes more, more than 20 petals, more than 30 petals...
"If you didn't know the existence of these mirrors in advance, can you tell which of these petals are real and which are fake?"
"If you increase the number of mirrors and cover the entire Yixiantian Canyon, can you tell where is the front? Where is the back? Where are the left and the right? If you combine it with the plum blossoms of Qimen Dunjia, you will have two in a lifetime. Two generates four, and four elephants generate Bagua. This is a large maze with endless loops. No matter how we go around it, we can't get out. If we can't find the direction of the Shengmen that Qimen Dunjia walks in, we will never get out of it in our lifetime."
"Perhaps even the many hanging coffin burials we see may not be real, because everything we see in the kaleidoscope is a visual deception deliberately intended by the people who built the cemetery for us to see."
As soon as Jin An changed his explanation to Qimen Dunjia, coupled with the previous small experiment with two mirrors, the old Taoist priest finally realized it.
"Isn't this the Heavenly Palace of All Things in the Qimen Dunjia Technique?" The old Taoist slapped his thigh, already understanding Jin An's explanation.
"I never thought that I would be able to see the long-lost Vientiane Heavenly Palace in Qimen Dunjia again in my lifetime. No wonder even I, the veteran, didn't see it at the beginning. Tsk, tsk, this is a rare Qimen Dunjia technique."
For people in this era, glazed mirrors were still a luxury item, and only wealthy aristocrats with strong financial resources could afford them.
For example, ordinary people use water to apply makeup, shave, wash, and look in the mirror. Only people with better conditions have bronze mirrors at home.
Even ordinary princes and generals can't afford too many glazed mirrors in their mansions.
As for the Vientiane Heavenly Palace, which wastes people and money, the number of glazed mirrors can be summed up by the word "ten thousand". Therefore, the Vientiane Heavenly Palace has always been a rare existence, and the ancient books recorded in history are very rare.
"It's a tomb beast controlled by human beings, a corpse cave, a handrail to lower a head rope, human flesh and soil, and a celestial palace with all phenomena. The deeper you go into the Dragon King's ancient tomb, the more powerful and rare things you encounter on the road. Could it be that the legendary Dragon King is really buried in this ancient tomb?" the old Taoist muttered.
Listening to the old Taoist priest's mumbling, even Jin An started to feel a toothache.
At this time, the old Taoist priest once again took out his Yin-Yang compass and walked up and down the hanging coffin.
"Old Taoist, can you break this Qimen Dunjia Wanxiang Celestial Palace?" Qimen Dunjia is too complicated, and Jin An has no time to learn it now, so if they want to get out of the canyon, they have to pin their hopes on the old Taoist priest. .
The old Taoist priest did not answer immediately. Instead, he held the Yin-Yang compass and walked around before shaking his head and sighing: "The compass is still useless. It is affected by the magnet and cannot locate the eight gates, ten heavenly stems, and twelve earthly branches."
"Heaven, door, and earth circulate in three circles. Qimen Dunjia divides the twelve hours of a day into twelve earthly branches, and divides A, B, B, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui into ten heavens. Four thousand three hundred and twenty rounds of changes were deduced.”
"This is about going to Qimen Dunjia to divide the sky, the door, and the earth into three disks, symbolizing the three talents. The sky disk has nine stars with nine palaces, the middle disk has eight houses with eight gates, and the eight palaces on the land represent the eight directions, which are still and stationary. move……"
"This expert who built the ancient tomb is an unparalleled genius who is well versed in Qimen Dunjia, Jiugong Bagua, Yin Yang and Five Elements, and Yishu. He not only successfully built the most difficult Ten Thousand Symbols Heavenly Palace in Qimen Dunjia, but also borrowed The 4,320 rounds of changes are an endless cycle, trapping people in the 4,320 rounds of changes forever. A large number of magnets are also buried in the canyon, making it impossible for those who enter the game to locate the heavenly stems, earthly branches, nine palaces, nine stars, eight In the eighth palace of the gate, there is no way to find the birth gate. This is really a desperate situation."
Jin An frowned: "Old Taoist, do you mean that we will be trapped here forever, unable to get out?"
"We did not bring much dry food when we went down to the Yinyi River this time. We can only survive for a few days at most. Let alone eternity. If we survive for a few more days, we will all starve to death in the Qimen Dunjia Canyon."
Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest who was shaking his head and sighing just a moment ago was twirling his beard and winking at Jin An with a smile: "No, no, there is no end to the road. This time, I have to thank the young lady from the Jia family." Saved us and showed up just in time.”
Jin An perked up.
really.
The old Taoist priest is full of intellectual ink. The more critical the moment, the more surprises the old Taoist priest can bring him.
"This is like having an old man in a family like a treasure. Don't imitate the peacock with its wings raised and its tail raised. If you have anything to say, tell us quickly. In addition to the labyrinth, there are also human flesh and soil in this heavenly palace. There are also people who are always hiding in the dark to spy on us. We are not out of danger yet." Jin An urged.
The old Taoist priest began to operate the yin and yang compass with both hands, artificially rotating the compass to position the heavenly stems and the earthly branches. While positioning, he said confidently: "In Qimen Dunjia, there is a saying of nine palaces and eight gates. These eight gates are respectively open, rest and Gate, Gate of Life, Gate of Injury, Gate of Du, Gate of View, Gate of Shock, Gate of Death.”
"Just now, the Water Goddess walked to this position and disappeared. I have temporarily designated this place as the Sheng Gate, but why did we stand at the Sheng Gate but didn't walk out of the Vientiane Heavenly Palace Mirror? I think this Sheng Gate should be a fake Sheng Gate. Door, another explanation, we are now in a cemetery with cold and cold air, and we cannot use common sense to measure the door. Qimen Dunjia, the word "Dunjia" means concealment, and the old Taoist I said that when this building was built The ancient tomb, the senior who built the ancient tomb that laid out the Wanxiang Celestial Palace, was a prodigy who was proficient in Qimen Dunjia, so this life gate was hidden. We followed the Water Goddess here, so we could not find it because it was hidden by the Wanxiang Celestial Palace. A new student."
"So how do we find the correct hidden door?"
The old Taoist priest's hands were still rotating and positioning the compass, and he became more and more excited as he spoke.
"Thanks to the old Tao, I have been traveling all over the country for so many years. During this period, I also met several tomb robbers who were possessed by evil spirits after touching the things in the ancient tombs and found the old Tao. I once heard them talk about the coffins in the ancient tombs. There is special emphasis on the placement, such as where the head is facing and where the feet are facing. They are all very strict and there can be no mistakes."
"So as long as we follow this idea to locate the eight gates, and follow the guidance of the Water Goddess, maybe we can find a real way out."
