How come it immediately changed 360 degrees after entering? Also, that fleeting trance just now... I feel a bit familiar. I remember that I had a similar feeling a few hours ago when I was suddenly transferred. A few hours later, unexpectedly, that feeling appeared again. The trance feeling that is still fresh in my memory. After the last trance ended, I was inexplicably moved and appeared out of thin air in a maze-like alley. Now I experienced it again, but I appeared in a strange room?

"What's going on? What's going on!?" Thinking of this, and being too frightened in his heart, and muttering a few words to himself, Wang Siqi suddenly moved, not even paying attention to the people observing the room, and screamed out. He ran straight to the opposite door. After opening the unlocked door in front of him, Wang Siqi was about to run out of the house and return to the alley. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a corpse!

Outside the door, two corpses were lying dead on the ground in the outer living room. One of them was torn into pieces and the whole body was dead. The other was not much stronger and was broken into two parts from the central waist. For a moment, a strong The smell of blood filled the entire living room. Not only that, but as he came to the living room and saw the corpse, Wang Siqi soon made further discoveries, that is...

Whether it was the torn corpse or another corpse that had been chopped in half, Wang Siqi had an impression of it. Especially the corpse that had been chopped in half had the deepest impression on her mind. However, before she could confirm it with her eyes widened, she heard something. The sound, a string of female laughter that seemed to come from the underworld, instantly resounded throughout the room: "Hehehehe!"

Luck is something that cannot be explained clearly. When your luck is too bad, you will choke on your saliva. But if you are lucky enough, money will automatically fall in front of you from the sky if you stand still. Many people know this truth. Just like now, when Peng Hu led the team to blindly walk through the criss-crossing alleyways, after walking for about 5 minutes, they encountered He Fei and three people who were deliberately moving forward in a certain direction.

"Peng, Brother Peng?"

"Eh? He Fei, is there anyone named Cheng?"

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you saying, bald? Your surname is Cheng? Do you dare to say another word?"

At this moment, at the corner of an alley, two groups of people were holding flashlights and shining each other on each other. Although both sides were startled at the beginning of the encounter, Cheng Ying was about to pull He Fei and run away, and the four people opposite Peng Hu turned around in shock. Escape, but after hearing the very familiar screams from both sides, both sides stopped at the same time. Then they raised their flashlights and shined them on each other. Only then did they see the identity of the other side clearly. The two sides encountered were not other people. On the right are He Fei, Cheng Ying and Wei Zhiqiang, who have been missing for a long time since they were separated, while on the left are undoubtedly Peng Hu, Hui Jue, Tao Mei and the junior high school boy named Gao Chengliang.

Of course, since this is an underground dark mausoleum full of dangers, and they knew in advance that there were ghosts hiding in the dark mausoleum, even though they recognized each other, the senior people still did not relax their vigilance. As expected, they ignored Cheng Ying's threat. Warning, he touched his beard. Ten meters away, Peng Hu immediately raised his hand. He first stopped Gao Chengliang, who was about to go over to join him because of his joy, and then asked He Fei a familiar question in a wary tone: "Well, um, I In addition to the black vest you usually wear, what else do you occasionally wear?"

"You never wear other clothes! Even if you wear a coat, there must be a black vest underneath!"

"Now it's my turn. When was I promoted to mid-level captain?"

"You were promoted to mid-level captain after completing a single mission called "Desolate Village and Dead Land"!"

"Brother Peng!"

"brother!"

As both parties answered the questions correctly, the next moment, the two groups of people, led by He Fei and Peng Hu, jumped up to meet them, and then they merged. As the two groups of people officially merged, the rest of the matter became simple. Fortunately, Peng Hu first told He Fei and the others about their previous experiences, and He Fei also truthfully told them about their experiences during the period. Their luck was pretty good. Although they wandered around in the huge and complicated maze for a long time, they did not encounter danger in the end, especially Peng Hu and the others. If He Fei and the others were found in the maze several times, Hiding the palace, then Peng Hu and the other two people didn’t even see the shadow of the palace.

When he learned that there was a hidden palace in the maze, Peng Hu suddenly felt curious and hurriedly asked: "What? Palace, you said there is a palace in this maze? It has all the furniture inside? No way? This is where dead people are buried. Even if there is a palace in the mausoleum, why are there so many things for living people to use?"

"I don't know the details, but I have searched there and there is no Soul-fixing Bead I am looking for."

Facing Peng Hu's curious inquiry, He Fei gave a simple and direct answer, directly stating that there was no soul-fixing bead that the executor needed to find. After saying that, Peng Hu did not ask any more questions. After all, the purpose of their coming to Diling was to find the soul-fixing bead. , since He Fei and the others found nothing, there was no point in continuing to care about this matter. Instead, as if they suddenly thought of something, they first raised their heads and glanced at the intersection of the alley, then looked at He Fei and Cheng Ying and Wei Zhiqiang next to them, and then Peng Hu then changed the subject and said to He Fei: "We have been walking around the maze for so long, and now we have found nothing. So this basically confirms that the Soul-fixing Pearl is not here, at least not in this maze."

Peng Hu's guess was unanimously agreed by everyone, including He Fei. When He Fei nodded in affirmation, Peng Hu continued without stopping: "Since it is unlikely that there is a soul-fixing bead in the maze, we can only look for it elsewhere. Can……"

At this point, Peng Hu looked confused. He hesitated for a few seconds, and then murmured: "But the problem is that the maze is too big and complicated, and we can't get out."

Yes, in front of He Fei, Peng Hu finally raised the biggest problem. As soon as he said this, some people's faces darkened. It can be said that except for Hui Jue, a monk who has seen through life and death, Tao Mei and Gao Chengliang all realized... He showed an ugly expression. In fact, the two of them were exhausted long before they met He Fei and the others. They could continue walking only by gritting their teeth and holding on. Well, to say the least, even if we don't talk about physical problems, if they keep walking If they can't find the exit of the maze, they will be trapped to death and forced to be buried as sacrifices. Their fate will be no better than that of the eunuchs and maids who were buried with them.

Fortunately, nothing is absolute. Just when Peng Hu mentioned that the maze was complicated and could not be exited, and Tao Mei and Tao Mei looked ugly, opposite Wei Zhiqiang, who was also a newcomer, inexplicably became energetic. The man wanted to say something, but considering Cheng After Ying was present and recalled the past when the other party had threatened her to shut up, Wei Zhiqiang still did not speak. However, Cheng Ying smiled slightly after hearing Peng Hu's concerns, walked up to Peng Hu, and raised her hand to pat Peng Hu. Tiger shoulder deliberately mocked: "I'm bald, after all this time, your IQ has not improved at all. If you hadn't happened to meet He Fei and me, you would have never left the maze for eight lifetimes."

"Fuck! What did you say, Cheng!?"

Sure enough, Peng Hu, who was ridiculed by Cheng Ying in public and who was already getting more and more anxious because he could not get out of the maze, became furious and directly opened his mouth to retaliate. The retort was a retaliation, but soon he could no longer say why. He heard something. He heard the underlying tone from Cheng Ying's taunting just now. Seeing that the other party was pointing out something, he didn't bother to retaliate. He quickly turned his eyes to look at He Fei and said, "Wait a minute, brother. You, are you..."

Led by Peng Hu, everyone looked at He Fei, and He Fei nodded and said bluntly: "Well, I did find something. Although the layout of this maze seems complicated, it actually contains hidden meanings. There is a certain pattern. In fact, I am currently experimenting with it. If the experiment is successful, we will be able to get out of the maze, and I will tell everyone about it through my telepathic connection."

Yes, just as He Fei said above, in fact, as early as an hour ago, He Fei decided that this was not an ordinary tomb passage, but a trap, and most likely even a formation. The purpose was to prevent tomb robbers from continuing to penetrate deeper into the tomb. , incidentally trapped the tomb robbers who broke in here to death. It is true that the maze itself is indeed powerful, and the many well-connected lanes are enough to trap people for a long time, but He Fei finally saw Ni Duan, and through the 1-hour long Running around here and there, He Fei gradually made a discovery. He found that the maze was vaguely arranged in the Nine Palaces and Bagua, which belonged to the metaphysics of the Yijing. It is not denied that He Fei himself has no research on the metaphysics of the Yijing, but please don't forget the people around him. But I have been waiting for an expert in metaphysics for a long time, a Taoist disciple who specializes in the study of the Book of Changes. Due to his long contact with Chen Xiaoyao and his long-term exposure, although He Fei definitely does not understand the Jiugong Bagua, he finally understands the superficial meaning. At least I understand the arrangement of the Nine Palaces and Bagua.

According to Chen Xiao

As Yao said, the so-called Jiugong Bagua is actually the direction of the universe from the Book of Changes. It contains two logical understandings, namely Jiugong and Bagua. The Jiugong is Qiangong, Kangong, Gengong, Zhengong, Zhonggong and Xungong respectively. , Li Palace, Kun Palace, and Dui Palace. The Eight Diagrams refers to the Open Door, Xiu Gate, Sheng Gate, Injury Gate, Du Gate, Jing Gate, Death Gate, and Shock Gate. The Nine Palaces correspond to heaven, and the Bagua corresponds to the earth, combining the two into one. , and finally formed the Nine Palaces Bagua. Some skilled people often use the Nine Palaces Bagua to predict the direction and predict good and bad luck. Since the Nine Palaces correspond to heaven, they are rarely used to ponder, but the Bagua representing the earth is often mentioned. To understand, first of all, we can be sure that Chen Xiaoyao once explained the various branches of the Bagua to He Fei, saying that if a Xuanmen master uses the Nine Palaces Bagua to arrange the formation, then the "opening the door" at the beginning must represent vitality, and the "opening" hanging at the back must The door of death definitely represents a desperate situation, and the six doors in the middle all belong to the maze of old cloth. If you want to truly escape, you can only look for the 'open door', and the 'open door' is located in the southwest direction of Qian Palace, so....net

After thinking about this, He Fei came up with an idea, that is, an experiment. Since the maze in front of him looks very much like the legendary Nine Palaces and Bagua array, and the door that represents vitality is always in the southwest, he might as well try it out. If it succeeds, by then, You can successfully exit the maze!

He did whatever he thought of, relying on the compass he carried with him. After identifying the direction of the maze, He Fei gave up exploring the maze and started moving with Cheng Ying and Wei Zhiqiang, heading towards the southwest of the maze from beginning to end, but he hadn't reached it yet. At the end, the three of them met Peng Hu and the others who were walking blindly.

"...That's basically what happened. I'm actually not 100% sure. It's just an experiment at the moment. If the experiment succeeds, I will tell everyone the news. But if it fails, then there is nothing to say."

Maintaining his rational composure, He Fei explained his findings and the principles of Bagua truthfully. Although He Fei himself still continued the common habit of wise men who are never sure when they are not sure, Peng Hu and others who learned about this were obviously not sure. Look at it this way, especially Cheng Ying and Peng Hu. They know He Fei very well, they know He Fei's abilities, and they also know this person's character of never being sure without evidence. In most cases, what He Fei says Being not sure actually means having a lot of confidence, and once He Fei said he was somewhat sure, it was almost certain.

"Ah, it turns out that Captain, you have found the exit direction out of the maze a long time ago. That's great. Finally, you don't have to continue blindly running around in the maze! We will definitely win this adventure!"

As expected, as soon as He Fei finished speaking, Cheng Ying and Peng Hu both showed excitement after learning the inside story. Tao Mei and Gao Chengliang, who had looked gloomy just now, also changed their expressions and showed joy, especially the junior high school boy Gao Chengliang, who had just When he heard that he could leave, the young man had a second disease. He immediately celebrated loudly and enthusiastically, and even made an embarrassing declaration of victory. Considering that he was too young, no one said anything, but Quan pretended not to hear it. Huijue, who had been in trance throughout the process, suddenly spoke to Gao Chengliang and reminded him: "Amitabha, Gao Donor, please be careful. Do not confirm certain things in advance until the end."

Let’s not talk about why Hui Jue, who was silent throughout the whole process, suddenly said such a philosophical reminder, nor whether Gao Chengliang could understand it, but after seeing Hui Jue’s speech, Xu just thought of something. The next moment, He Fei He turned to look at Huijue, and then asked Huijue in a tone full of curiosity: "By the way, Master Huijue, in the general's tomb before... your body seemed to have a golden light. In the golden light state, your body The strength and speed have increased dramatically, what happened?"

As mentioned above, He Fei had wanted to ask this question for a long time. At that time, everyone was trapped in the general's tomb, and the Tang Dynasty general who had been dead for a thousand years was inexplicably resurrected and turned into a human being. In order to deal with the thousand-year-old zombie, everyone tried their best to deal with it. Almost everyone bit the bullet and turned into a steel zombie. Unexpectedly, the zombie was invulnerable and immune to any attack, even if it was surrounded by the executioner. In fact, It can't hurt the hair of zombies, and even Chen Xiaoyao's Taoist magic that specializes in defeating zombies is basically immune. However, just when everyone is desperate because they can't escape, Hui Jue, who has meditated all the time, The monk suddenly took action, and when he took action, his whole body was illuminated.

Wrapped in that not-so-obvious golden light, Huijue was not only frighteningly fast, but also had strength that could be called abnormal. He kicked the military zombie away with one kick, and the impact was so huge that it was even thicker than 1 The walls of Mi's tomb were shattered! In fact, it was precisely because of Huijue's heavy blow that everyone was able to escape and ascend to heaven, and then they saw the opportunity to escape from the tomb that had been sealed for a long time. Although everyone was directly teleported and scattered by the space power as soon as they exited the cave, and they appeared one after another. In a well-connected maze, these are all things for later. The important thing is that He Fei is very curious. He really wants to know what happened to Hui Jue in the past. Now that he finally met the monk, He Fei will not ignore it.

Seeing He Fei changing the topic and suddenly talking about Monk Huijue, everyone immediately became curious. Cheng Ying, who had been rescued by the monk, also looked at the monk immediately. It can be imagined that even He Fei and Cheng Ying were both concerned about this. Peng Hu, who was straightforward, didn't need to say more. He quickly patted his head and looked at Hui Jue, and asked at the same time: "That's right, brother, I almost forgot about it if you didn't tell me. Hey, I said bald donkey , you were so fierce before. I know how powerful the military zombie is. Unexpectedly, you kicked me away and even knocked down the fucking wall. What tricks did you use before? Come with so much power?"

"Amitabha."

Facing He Fei's probing inquiry, the Buddha's name that made Peng Hu's ears pop out as expected. Then Hui Jue clasped his hands and said calmly: "A poor monk has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Although he is familiar with many martial arts. I have dabbled in some studies, but my main practice is the "Jialan Gongfa". I have been practicing it for decades, and I have never slacked off during this period..."

Through Monk Huijue's past narration, everyone learned the cause and effect. It turned out that Monk Huijue was powerful not without reason, but because he practiced dozens of martial arts techniques, the main one of which was a long-lost book. Let’s not talk about the specific meaning of the name of Jialan Kung Fu, but this secret book can really be described as scary. The reason is that ordinary people cannot practice this book. No, it is not that ordinary people cannot practice it, but in the world. Not many people can practice this thing, because the basic skills alone are enough to torture people to death, such as making people stand in the ice and snow at minus ten degrees Celsius for a night, such as making people sit quietly under a raging waterfall. Not being able to move for a day, or standing still for seven consecutive days, etc., all requirements are beyond the capabilities of human beings, and such cruel training methods are only the basic skills of this secret book! If you want to continue practicing, there will be more cruel training methods later.

Of course, as the saying goes, what you lose must be what you gain. Although such a terrifying practice method is enough to dissuade anyone, as long as you can persist, the practice will bring unimaginable huge gains to the practitioner. "Jialan Kung Fu" 》There are seven levels in total. Cultivation to the second level alone is enough to give the practitioner the strength to defeat seven or eight strong men. Cultivation to the third level will basically reach the peak of human beings, which is Cheng Ying's level of strength. If you practice When you reach the fourth level, you have simply surpassed the limits of human beings. The state that Huijue has reached so far is exactly the fourth level. As for the following levels? Don’t think about it for now. After all, Huijue practiced for twenty or thirty years before reaching the fourth level. For Huijue, if he continues to practice, he may reach the fifth level in the future. As for the sixth level that follows And that represents the seventh level of consummation of the technique...

Perhaps only immortal gods can touch it.

Also, as for the 'Golden Body State' that Huijue used not long ago, it is actually a skill that he realized on his own when he reached the fourth level, that is, 'Golden Body Arhat'. You need to meditate in advance before using it. First open and release the energy of the meridians of the whole body. After completion, you can gain strength increase in a short time. In addition, since all the energy of the whole body is released without reservation, once used, the body will emit a little yellowish light, which is not bad. He is worthy of the title of "Golden Body Arhat".

Yes, Hui Jue had already decided that he was no match after discovering how powerful the military zombie was. Even if he had the strength to crush Cheng Ying or Peng Hu, he could barely take action in front of a zombie that was not even a human. The outcome was also very slim. Because of this, Huijue realized that the situation was not good and started meditating with his eyes closed. It took him a full 10 minutes to activate the golden body state. Needless to say, the result Yes, although the military zombies are so powerful that they even have golden bodies.

Even Huijue couldn't be killed, but under the blow of Huijue's extremely increased power, the zombies were easily kicked away, and finally collapsed a tomb wall.

"Holy shit! Bald Donkey, you, you, you madman! You even dare to practice this kind of technique that is not practiced by humans, and you haven't practiced it to death? This is simply a fucking miracle!"

After listening to Hui Jue's story, He Fei opened his mouth wide and was stunned. Tao Mei, Wei Zhiqiang and Gao Chengliang next to him also opened their eyes wide and gasped. Even Cheng Ying looked shocked. Peng Hu Ze simply pointed at Hui Jue and called him crazy, but to be honest, the monk named Hui Jue was indeed a little crazy. He actually practiced this kind of secret technique that was equivalent to suicide. Not only did he practice it, but he actually practiced it. Reached the fourth level! It's no wonder that this monk is so powerful. It turns out that he has already practiced a heaven-defying technique that cannot be practiced by humans.

"Amitabha, martial monks are devoted to the Buddha. Doing what you know you can't do is the true nature of a monk. This is the meaning of penance. If we don't even have the courage to face death, then why should we become a monk? How can we practice Buddhism?" Huijue responded to Peng Hu's crazy remarks with a very Buddhist statement, which made Peng Hu look at him differently. It seems that whether he is practicing Zen or martial arts, as long as he is devoted to the Buddha, the monk can always do something unexpected. The act of faith, this thing of faith, is really indescribable sometimes...

Getting back to the topic, after learning that the maze in front of them was a suspected formation and hearing from He Fei that there was a way to escape from the maze, with different thoughts in mind, the seven people set off again under the leadership of He Fei and continued to move in the southwest direction. And go.
