Two hours later, Uncle Wang and I stood up, and everyone packed up their things, brought their weapons and equipment, and prepared to go to other tombs.
I said to Uncle Wang, "Please help me collect these eggs and take them away. This place is not suitable for me to cast a spell to refine the zombie cavity beetle."
After a group of us climbed out of the cave, we came to this square that looked like a sacrificial altar.
I looked at the huge altar in front of me. There were many stone statues over five meters high and some stone platforms made of gravel. Each stone statue was in the shape of a character.
There are also large stone pots placed on the stone platform. Each large pot is more than one meter wide and three inches thick.
I counted around and found some patterns in the arrangement. These stone statues were distributed around the alchemy furnace in the shape of nine palaces and eight trigrams.
Corresponding to the eight directions of Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, Dui, etc.
A question arose in my mind, "What is this thing used for?"
I asked Uncle Wang, "Uncle Wang, do you know what this big pot is for? Why are these Bagua positions distributed here, and what is the purpose of this altar?"
Uncle Wang thought for a moment and said, "This may be the place where emperors killed three lives to sacrifice to heaven in ancient times, because after the imperial mausoleum was built, there would be a ritual of killing lives to sacrifice to heaven to worship heaven and inform heaven and earth."
"Or it may be a place where wizards and warlocks offer sacrifices and pray for blessings. This still needs further confirmation before we can conclude."
After listening to Uncle Wang's analysis, I replied, "Uncle Wang, do you think this might be a magic platform created by the alchemist? It might be a formation or something."
"I see that these stone statues are placed according to certain rules. There is indeed an alchemy furnace in the center that seems to be used for alchemy, which makes me wonder whether these are auxiliary formations for alchemy."
Uncle Wang thought for a moment and said, "If it's an alchemy furnace, it's not very realistic, but it's just speculation anyway. We still have to take a look at the actual situation!"
"Xiao Lin, just in case, you ask the yellow paper man to go over and take a look, and then use the Blood Demon Eye Technique to observe the surrounding situation."
"Your Blood Demon Eye Technique is currently only at the first level of cultivation. You can only observe the mountains, rivers, and the direction of the earth's energy and dragon veins. If you enter the second and third levels, some new functions will appear. Your father He once cultivated the demon pupil to the third level, and he could use the demon pupil to see all the thoughts and approximate strength levels in people's hearts."
"But with only the first level Blood Demon Eye Technique, you should be able to check whether there are any evil things around you, so you can predict the danger in advance and clearly see what the surface color of the stone statues around the altar looks like."
"If those things above are filled with evil spirits or curses, they will appear black in your eyes and are easy to distinguish."
I immediately summoned the Yellow Soul Paper Man and ordered it to check near the alchemy furnace in the center. The paper man flew above the alchemy furnace.
When I use magic to control the paper man, the paper man's sensory response will be fed back to me, so I can feel everything the paper man sees. We are all looking at the same place as the altar!
At this moment, a black gas spurted out from the mouth of the stone statue on the surrounding earthquake site and shot towards the paper man. I was shocked and quickly controlled the paper man to fly backwards, trying to avoid this black gas. s attack!
The earthquake position itself has a meaning of anger. There is more movement and less silence in the entire Nine Palaces, full of turmoil and irritability. In such an environment within the Nine Palaces, people are easily injured. The earthquake position corresponds to the eight gates. The wounding gate in the middle is actually a vicious gate.
Just as the paper man was pulling back to avoid it, at the Dui Gua position corresponding to the eight gates, a sound of killing was heard, and it immediately filled the altar!
It is still increasing in the way of strengthening and expansion. The person who hears it can easily cause irreversible damage to the spirit under the stimulation of this sound wave. The Zhen Gua corresponds to harming the body, and the Dui Gua corresponds to harming the soul. The two complement each other and have lethality. It's quite scary!
Hearing the sound of killing coming from the formation, Uncle Wang immediately shouted, "Everyone, please block your ears quickly and don't listen to this sound. You are not cultivators and are still in the mortal stage. You may go crazy after hearing this sound." "
After hearing this, everyone was shocked and immediately blocked their ears. They squatted down and held their heads with their hands to block their ears even more tightly. The dust around them was shaken by the sound, and my yellow soul paper man was also hit by the sound wave. It hit and fell straight to the ground!
The situation of the paper man immediately appeared in my mind. Huang Hun's condensed body had begun to collapse and was about to be transformed back into the paper man. When I saw this, I felt anxious, "What kind of formation is this?" "
"Why is the attack method so weird? There is even a sonic attack method. I am just a newbie and I can't withstand this attack method at all."
"I'm starting to worry about my paper figurines. Don't destroy the yellow paper figurines among my seven-color paper figurines. Then I'll be miserable."
"This is the treasure of my Feng family. It's only because of my low strength that I can't make better use of the paper puppet technique passed down by my family. Otherwise, I wouldn't be afraid of this sound."
Uncle Wang also saw that the condition of my paper figurine was not very good. It could easily be destroyed if I let the sound attack like this. He stood up and immediately mobilized all the true energy in his body, forming a protective shield around his body to protect his whole body. ,
The thick and condensed protective shield blocked the propagation of the sound. He picked up the Black Prison Dragon Sword and rushed to the altar. A half-moon-shaped sword energy came out of the dragon knife and struck the stone statue at the position of Dui Gua.
The sword energy cut through the air and struck the stone statue of Dui Gua. A huge knife mark appeared on the stone statue. The overall stone statue was seriously damaged. The stone statue was almost cut off by Uncle Wang's knife.
At this time, the sound from the direction of Dui Gua also stopped, and there was no sound coming out. The people squatting on the ground felt that there was no sound, so they stood up and shook the dust off their bodies.
Uncle Wang said to everyone, "This should be a formation corresponding to the Nine Palaces and Bagua. The one that attacked us just now should be the Dui Palace. Each hexagram will have the difference between the door of life and the door of death. It seems that Xiaolin, you guessed it That's right, this is really a formation. People who are familiar with the Book of Changes can calculate the location of the door of birth and avoid the door of death at every turn."
"Xiao Lin, is there anything about the I Ching in your Feng family's secret technique? Do you have a way to break it? You try to break the formation. If it doesn't work, I will forcefully break the formation."
Now that they were close to the altar, everyone discovered that there was a stone door leading to the back on the wall behind the altar. Originally, the light in the cave was not particularly bright, and the place to see clearly was very limited.
Now it seems that if you don't break the formation, you can't enter the stone door leading to the main tomb. Just as everyone is thinking about how to break the formation, there is a sound of a loudspeaker running, and it sounds like the sound is coming from above.
Everyone looked up with their wolf-eye flashlights to check. Suddenly, some viscous liquid began to drip from the top of the cave directly above each stone pot. All of it fell into the stone pot, and it quickly filled up. A whole stone pot.
At the same time, eight streams of flames spewed out from the mouth of the stone statue at the position of Li Gua and shot into the stone pot in eight directions. As soon as the fire fell into the stone pot, it quickly ignited the entire stone pot when it encountered the dripping liquid from above, and the fire quickly When it burns, the Li Gua location belongs to the south, corresponding to the southern mythical beast Suzaku, which controls the power of fire.
"Ah! The liquid dripping here is fuel. What should we do now? Such a big fire has blocked the entrance to the stone gate. How can we survive? At this time, Chen Gang suddenly said in a panic."
Li Wei glared at him and said, "Why are you panicking? Isn't Mr. Wang and Brother Xiao Lin here?"
"If we can't solve the problem, Mr. Wang will naturally take action to solve it. This is just a fire triggered by some formations. It's okay to deal with some ordinary tomb robbers like the two of us, but it may not be enough to deal with practitioners like Mr. Wang." of."
Brother Pan glanced at the two of them and said, "You two, be quiet. Don't talk now and don't disturb Xiao Lin's thinking."
Brother Pan looked at me again and asked, "Xiao Lin, do you have any way to crack it?"
I pondered for a moment and said, "If I guessed correctly, the current position of the Bagua Gate is wrong, and every position is not in its original place."
"These stone statues of the Bagua formation should be movable. As long as the positions of the Bagua stone statues are rearranged, the formation should be able to be broken, and the fire will naturally be extinguished by then."
"If you let this fire continue to burn, I'm afraid it will never burn out. If my guess is correct, I'm afraid there is a component of shark oil in this fuel. A trace of shark oil can burn for hundreds of years."
"Most of the ancient imperial tombs used the grease of this kind of thing to make everlasting lamps. There is so much mermaid grease here that it will not be a problem to continue burning for thousands of years."
Brother Pan looked at me and said, "Xiao Lin, you said these things are shark grease? Are there really such creatures as sharks? "
"I heard that that thing looks like a mermaid. These things live in the sea and are extremely difficult to see. Besides, there is no place for a permanent light here. Why is there so much grease used to set up the formation?"
"I have been to ancient tombs several times with your father, but I have never seen anything like this. I heard that ancient emperors liked to get some of this shark oil and put it in their own tombs. It is an eye-opener to come here with you today. Okay, do you think the position of this gossip should be rearranged?"
I looked at the current arrangement directions of the various positions of the Bagua Stone Statues, and silently calculated the correct arrangement in my mind.
Then he said to Uncle Wang, "Uncle Wang, fly up and see if the bottom of these stone statues can be moved anywhere."
