The corridor with vines and vines becomes narrower and narrower, surrounded by cypress trees, and the light gradually dims.
About the time he was walking to drink tea, the scene in front of him was still the same. Qing Ming suddenly stopped and looked back.
Mei Ying was also full of suspicion and said: "Senior sister, there is something weird here."
Qing Ming took a deep breath, frowned slightly and said, "Turn around and take a look."
Several people followed the words and looked around, and couldn't help but turn pale in surprise. The entrance to the corridor they had stepped on a long time ago was only a few feet away behind them.
Qing Ming looked around and said slowly: "It's the earth-shrinking technique in Qimen Dunjia. It seems to be just a short distance away, but it never ends."
Mei Ying said bitterly: "I don't know who caused the trouble, so that we fell into the trap inexplicably."
Qing Ming carefully paid attention to the plants and trees around him, and sighed: "The practitioner is well versed in the method of space confinement. The environment here is harmonious, and I have not seen any flaws."
Mei Ying asked: "Could it be that this place is actually an independent space? Does Senior Sister have a way to crack it?"
Qing Ming pinched the ghost fan seal with both hands, swung it in the air, and the majestic palm print spurted out, and pressed it down to the side of the corridor. After floating for several feet, the palm prints flickered east and west and disappeared completely.
Qing Ming said: "The Qimen Dunjia is so subtle and profound that it cannot be discerned. The Earth-shrinking Technique is its essence. Those who have not mastered it cannot arrange it. Using brute force to break it is like cotton wool, there is no way to apply force."
There is no need to panic even if a meditation practitioner is present, even if you get into big trouble. Mei Ying guesses that since Qing Ming knows this formation, he must have many ways to break it.
Qing Ming pinched his fingers and thought for a long time, finally clarified the context, and said: "Qimen Dunjia was created by Jiutian Xuannv, known as the emperor's school, and is the first secret technique among Qimen, Liuren, and Taiyi. This technique is a fusion The Nine Palaces Bagua and the Yin and Yang Five Elements include the Three Wonders, the Six Armors, the Eight Doors, the Nine Stars, and the Nine Gods.
The three odd things are Yi, Bing and Ding, which represent the sun, moon and stars.
The six armors are Jiazi, Jiaxu, Jiashen, Jiawu, Jiachen, and Jiayin, and the six rituals are Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui. Liujia is hidden under Liuyi, and Liuyi acts on its behalf. It has the virtue of gods and the opportunity to hide and reveal.
In addition, there are eight gates, Xiu Sheng was injured and Du Jing died was shocked to open. The three gates of opening, rest, and birth are auspicious, Du and Jing are flat, and injury, death, and shock are inauspicious.
The nine palaces are divided into nine stars, namely Tianpeng, Tianrui, Tianchong, Tianfu, Tianqin, Tianxin, Tianzhu, Tianren and Tianying.
Qi Men Dun Jia mainly focuses on nine palaces, and Shu Luo writes the numbers of heaven and earth. The sum of the vertical and horizontal numbers is one and fifteen. The palace arrangement method is in the forward direction, and the flying palace method is in reverse direction.
There are twenty-four solar terms and seventy-two periods in a year, and the number of changes is one hour per hour, for a total of four thousand three hundred and twenty.
The ancient sage Fenghou specializes in astronomy, and he has taken an ingenious number of 1,080 rounds, starting with the yin life of the summer solstice and the yang life of the winter solstice, divided into 540 yin and yang escape methods each.
The yang escape follows the rites and is oddly reversed. This is the first game. The yin evades the rites and is oddly directed. This is the second game.
The yin and yang escape alternately and change, and the eight gates will inevitably be connected. It is necessary to find vitality according to the prosperity and decline of the palace, birth and restraint, and the combination of the three strange spirits.
The derivation of Qimen's art is mysterious and complicated, and it cannot be solved in a moment. Junior sister can help me according to my words. "
The four disciples were confused when they heard this. Fortunately, Mei Ying already knew what he was thinking. After thinking about it carefully, he cooperated with Qing Ming to make careful calculations.

The scorching sun is shining in the sky, but the stone smoke in the east of the city makes people feel eerie.
This is a remote and desolate low-lying land. Weeds taller than a person are trembling in the wind, and the grass nests are occasionally shrouded in a strange black layer.
A dilapidated and homeless village is isolated among willows and giant locust trees. There is no smoke rising, no human voice, and even no breath of life.
After brushing aside the weeds beside the path, the three characters "Guiwu Village" were written on the fallen white stone.
Lin Hao said nervously: "With such a weird name, could it be that the village is haunted?"
Nightingale's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she said angrily: "Lang Lang always talks nonsense during the day."
Lin Hao chuckled and said: "This place is extremely dark and has been uninhabited for a long time. And given the name of Guiwu Village, it is difficult to say that it is not haunted."
Hua Xi said: "All villages that pay attention to are required to be surrounded by mountains and water. Looking at the mountain, backing the mountain, and protecting the mountains on the left and right are called the four images. The mountains are surrounded by mountains, which is good for hiding the wind and gathering energy. The flat land in the middle is called 'Mingtang' and can be used as the foundation of the village. Look at this The layout of Guiwuzhai violates the taboo of Feng Shui. There is no beautiful water in front and no backing behind. The mountain is too narrow and the airflow is blocked. The only path that can be walked extends straight into the depths of the village, which is a taboo of penetrating evil spirits. Furthermore, the village is surrounded by dense dense forest. The Willow Tomb Giant Sophora japonica is a dead person, and the ghost is bound by the Nailed Soul Willow and cannot be reincarnated here. What Lin Hao said is true, there may indeed be many ghosts in Guiwu Village."
Seeing that Nightingale's expression was indifferent and she didn't believe in the ghost at all, Huaxi added: "Buddhism firmly believes in the theory of afterlife. It is believed that a ray of soul remains immortal after death. You can give up one body for another and enter the cycle of reincarnation. Greed and anger. The three poisons of ignorance are the root of all human suffering and evil deeds. Many souls are nostalgic for the past life and cannot let go of greed, hatred and ignorance. However, Naiheqiao does not drink Mengpo soup and wanders in the mortal world without entering reincarnation and becomes a ghost. Also called Yin Ling.”
Lin Hao felt a little proud after hearing this, and deliberately blinked at Nightingale, as if to say, "Do you believe me now, junior sister?"
Nightingale suddenly turned her head and said bitterly: "Deer head and mouse eyes!"
With the sound of footsteps, Chu Shangu led Yu Lu and Susha Qingying back to check it out. He was full of doubts and said: "There are traces of artificial carvings everywhere. It can be seen that someone broke the feng shui of this place and did it deliberately."
There was a look on Huaxi's face and he said: "I heard that Madam Hongwei has reached the pinnacle of Yin spirit and ghost skills. Gui Wu Village must be her work. This damn witch is not afraid of retribution."
Chu Shangu sighed: "If there is no reward for good and evil, the universe must be selfish. We must not let her off lightly this time."
There were gusts of gloomy wind in the village, and the swirling black air was changing its shape with its teeth and claws. It was particularly dazzling under the sunlight. Chu Shangu packed his clothes and said without fear: "Let's go into the village to find out." Hua Xi nodded. If you agree, you should follow the path first.

Everything in Shiyan City was different from usual. Outside the west city wall, a cloud of fog suddenly appeared. The gray mist slowly surged, mysterious and weird.
Shen Tianlu patrolled around the fog cloud several times and said in a deep voice: "I can't see clearly the fog within a hundred feet in radius, and my spiritual thoughts cannot leave my body. I don't know if there is anything unknown inside."
Lin Mo's cloudy old eyes flashed with brilliance. He put his hands behind his back and walked a few steps, making up his mind and saying: "I feel a little uneasy in my heart. We'd better not stay here too long. We'll make a long-term plan after we meet up with Junior Sister Qingming." .”
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the ground, and then the earth dragon turned over, and the earth trembled violently. Then the city wall collapsed and huge rocks rolled down crazily.
Dust covered their eyes, and everyone was caught off guard, staggering and coughing. However, after a while, the feet became quiet again, as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Jinyue lost her voice and said: "This, this, this... what is going on?"
Shen Tianlu stopped him and said, "We'll talk about it later. Get out of here quickly."
There was a sizzling sound, and a slight abnormal sound suddenly came from the fog. At the edge of the fog, a black light was faintly visible floating, and the fog was about to move.
Ouyang Changrong was disgraced by the rising dust. His appearance was really inelegant. He looked at his body and couldn't help but feel sullen. He was about to find an opportunity to have an attack. When he saw the black light, he slashed with his sword without hesitation. go.
"Stop." Lin Mo exclaimed. He was unable to stop it in time, and the sword light suddenly disappeared into the fog.
Lin Mo cursed: "You bastard! Leave quickly!"
Everyone hurriedly walked with their swords, but something in the fog seemed to be awakened instantly. The fog suddenly rose, wrapping Lin Mo and others.
There was only the sound of banging and banging, and the sounds of cursing and complaining came one after another. After just a few breaths, the sound faded away, and the fog suddenly dissipated.
There was nothing in the surrounding area, and it was silent again. Only the collapsed city wall still recorded the scene that had just happened.

Hua Xi suddenly stopped, listened attentively, and then asked, "Senior brother, did you hear any noise?"
Chu Shangu was stunned and said: "Wei Zeng, what did junior sister notice?"
Hua Xi seemed unsure and said doubtfully, "It seemed like the sound came from the West City, but I didn't listen carefully."
Chu Shangu comforted him: "Senior Brother Lin Mo and others are visiting the West City. If we don't scream to warn Junior Sister, there is no need to worry."
Hua Xi nodded and smiled: "That's right. There must be no dangers here that Senior Brother Lin can't handle."
The disciples smiled slightly and stepped onto a trembling bluestone bridge. Under the bridge was a narrow ditch of stagnant water. The water was black and translucent.
Chushan Guju took the water to test and said: "This water is freezing cold to the bone, it seems to be due to the long-term immersion of Yin Qi. Junior sister Huaxi and Qingying Palace are behind, Ying'er and Lin Hao are walking in the middle, be sure to pay careful attention." Then he led Yu Lu into the village first.
The golden crow sets in the west, and night falls suddenly.
There are more than 60 houses in Guiwu Village with high walls and small courtyards. Coupled with the dense creeping vines hanging on the walls, the corridors are dark and cramped.
Occasionally, several broken wooden doors were pushed open, and the house that had been baptized by time was covered with cobwebs and full of dust.
The decorations in the rooms are all the same, with dark tones and no differences in layout. Even the styles of various items are the same and they are all arranged neatly.
An oil lamp was lit on every household's altar table, and the pale green light danced in the dim hall.
There is a black iron bucket in each small courtyard, with traces of burning the paper.
Next to the iron bucket, there are two paper figures, a man and a woman, framed with white paper. They even have hair on them. Their eyebrows, nose and eyes are all lifelike. Their lips are outlined with a thick red color, which looks a bit sinister. smile.
There was silence in the corridor, but there was an occasional strange wind biting the black window lattice in the small courtyard, making whining sounds from time to time.
Hua Xi looked around carefully and suddenly said: "The layout of the village seems to be a Yin Gathering Formation. The walls and courtyards here are arranged strangely, which makes all the Yin Qi gather toward the center. It is estimated that there is a magic weapon that gathers Yin Qi in the village. .”
Chu Shangu said: "Destroying the magic weapon may reverse the feng shui of this village."
Hua Xi nodded and said, "That must be the case. However, since Mrs. Hongwei spent so much effort to arrange this place, it must be extremely dangerous."
After pondering for a while, Huaxi told Yu Lu and others: "Stay here and wait. If you encounter something unusual, don't move lightly. I'll go over and have a look, and I'll return later."
Chu Shangu glanced at Nightingale intentionally or unintentionally, and warned: "Be careful." After that, he and Fairy Huaxi went to the stronghold.
