Yu Xiaolong sat on the ground meditating, trying to recall the formations in "The Will of Heaven and Earth", which was a book given to him by Sun Renyi before.
The world is divided into heaven and earth, the artistic conception is divided into yang and yin, the eight trigrams are divided into up and down, and the formations are divided into life and death.
All formations have their own solutions, but they are divided into different levels of difficulty.
The Shengmen is the exit of the formation, or the trick to get out of the formation. Advanced formations are just more complicated in the secret space.
A building can be descended directly from the stairs. This is a normal method, which is equivalent to the normal solution in the formation.
If the staircase is very complex, with many twists and turns, and multiple staircases branching off along the way, then it will take more time and energy to figure out the building.
In "The Will of Heaven and Earth", formations are generally divided into two types: birth formation and death formation.
There are obvious paths in the birth formation, and you need to find the right direction yourself.
The Death Formation is just like the current formation. There is no road or direction to speak of. It is completely an empty void of endless darkness. You can only get out of it by following the correct footwork.
"The Will of Heaven and Earth" specifically talks about the mysteries of formations. Although Yu Xiaolong has not read it thoroughly, he has read it several times.
At this time, he quietly meditated on the spot, trying to recall the contents of the book.
When the driver saw him like this, he watched Yu Xiaolong's surroundings vigilantly to create a good environment for him.
"The sky is drifting away with the wind, and the earth is dark and silent at night."
The secret space formation is nothing more than one level, seemingly endless and endless. In fact, it is just the trapped people circulating within the formation, perhaps forever.
In the past, Yu Xiaolong had cracked the same formation by himself, but it was very energy-consuming and time-consuming.
Now this secret space is obviously more complex and more difficult to crack than the previous one.
The eight gates in Qimen Dunjia are Dumen, Jingmen, Death Gate, Injury Gate, Jingmen, Shengmen, Ximenmen, and Kaimen.
Among them, the opening gate, the closed gate, and the living gate are the lucky gates, that is, the living gates that can walk out of the formation.
It is in Gen Palace, located in the northeast, and its five elements belong to earth. If the Shengmen is in the Gen Palace, it is Fuyin, in the Kun Palace it is counter-yin, in the Xun Palace it is in the tomb, in the Zhen Palace it is suppressed, in the Li Palace it is auspicious, in the Qian Palace it is the second auspicious, and in the Kan Palace it is forced.
But in the current secret realm, there is no sense of direction at all, and I believe that the compass will not work.
Yu Xiaolong took out the Bagua compass with a glimmer of hope. As expected, the pointer was spinning rapidly and lost its effect.
He was about to put away the compass helplessly when he suddenly remembered something, burst out his energy and stared at the pointer carefully.
The eyes of practitioners have sensitivity beyond ordinary people. In the rapidly rotating hands, Yu Xiaolong found that every time the hands reached two positions, there would be a fleeting pause in one hundredth of a second.
"Li, Kan? Water, fire?"
Yu Xiaolong looked at it in confusion, thinking rapidly in his mind.
Three hundred and sixty-seven away, four and five eight at the end, the water carries the boat and overturns the wind and rain, and the flame promotes the destruction of the mountain without mercy.
It is due south of Li Gua, northwest of Kan Gua and northeast of Gen Gua.
At this time, I may be facing the West!
Yu Xiaolong stood up and thought for a moment, then walked seven steps due south, then turned around and walked five steps northeast and eight steps northwest before settling down.
But nothing changed around him, which made Yu Xiaolong depressed.
The driver stood in the distance and stared at him blankly. Knowing that Yu Xiaolong was breaking the formation, he did not disturb him and walked around while watching.
While Yu Xiaolong was thinking hard, there was a sudden flash in the southwest. Although the time was extremely short, both he and the driver discovered this situation at the same time.
"Brother, what did you do just now?" Yu Xiaolong asked.
"No...nothing, I was just taking a look." The driver, Monk Zhanger, looked at him confused.
"Where did you go from just now?" Yu Xiaolong asked.
"I...I just..." The driver stood there without daring to move. He looked back and said, "It came from that way."
"How did you walk? How many steps did you take?" Yu Xiaolong asked immediately.
"It's just...walking with your feet...how can I remember how many steps to take?" The driver was very depressed.
"Brother, think about it carefully and take another walk?" Yu Xiaolong asked expectantly.
"I...I...Okay." The driver turned around and walked back aggrievedly, tentatively returning to the previous position.
He seemed to be walking in a minefield, unable to move his legs, and he hesitated to take every step.
Yu Xiaolong looked at him speechlessly and shook his head.
After trying it over and over again for nearly a hundred times, the southwest flashed again.
"stop!"
Yu Xiaolong shouted loudly, and the driver was so frightened that he almost fell down.
"What's going on, brother?" Yu Xiaolong asked excitedly.
"Uh...it takes nine steps from here." The driver said, taking a few steps back.
Yu Xiaolong came over and stood in that position, closing his eyes and thinking.
"Kun Gua is due west, wind and fire are 278." The driver murmured.
Yu Xiaolong turned to look at him and gave a thumbs up in surprise.
"I'm not an idiot, hehe." The driver smiled slightly.
Yu Xiaolong nodded and continued to think in his mind.
He walked over, stood where the driver had been, and took nine steps forward.
Sure enough, there was a slight flash in the distance, and it was fleeting.
Yu Xiaolong calculated and took seven more steps to the west, then three steps to the southeast, and then two steps to the east.
He looked around and found that nothing had changed. This time he felt depressed again.
"Three steps north!"
Sun Renyi's voice suddenly came out of thin air.
Yu Xiaolong trembled in fright. He looked and found no sign of the other party, but he still listened to his advice and walked north.
Just as he settled down, Sun Renyi's voice came again: "Eight steps to the northwest!"
Yu Xiaolong once again followed the other party's instructions without any hesitation.
"Huh? This seems to be... the eight-step wind and rain formation?" Yu Xiaolong suddenly felt a little impressed.
"Array" specifically explains some unique secret realm formations, including the "Eight-step Wind and Rain Formation" cracking footwork. Yu Xiaolong has seen it before, but just remembered it now.
He tried to remember and walked another seven steps south. But I can't remember the next step.
"Don't move!" Liu Dong's voice reached his ears again.
"Four steps back!"
Yu Xiaolong was startled and slowly took four steps back.
After a dazzling white light flashed, Yu Xiaolong and the driver appeared on a grassy field, with insects chirping nearby.
"Huh? It looks so real." Yu Xiaolong said to himself.
"I feel the same way." The driver looked around and nodded.
"It's true!" Liu Dong flew over from a distance.
"Ah? Secretary Liu?" Yu Xiao rubbed his eyes.
"Haha." Sun Renyi also flew over from the other side.
"What are you two doing?" Yu Xiaolong looked at them doubtfully.
"Haha... Secretary Liu and I went to break the formation separately. When we were about to solve it, we found that you were finishing it, so I gave you some tips." Sun Renyi stroked his mustache and smiled.
"Xiao Long, you can do it!" Liu Dong smiled.
The driver stood nearby and gave a thumbs up and said, "It's indeed possible."
"...Let's not talk about this problem for now, what is going on with this formation? This elder brother said it was aimed at me?" Yu Xiaolong said depressedly.
