Chapter 182: Attacking the Great Array (I)
Regarding the dispute between Gu Tan and me, the master didn't say anything, he looked around for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "You all go back!" Hearing this, Gu Tan instantly retreated backwards with Shangguan Jin, and I naturally retreated behind the master. At this moment, the Master looked at the formation in front of him and said, "The stone bricks that are circling around the periphery are combined to resemble a Bagua Array, with cyan representing the seismic wood in the east, red representing the fire in the south, white representing the gold exchange in the west, black representing the kanshui in the north, and yellow representing the earth in the center. However, the position of the five elements and the hexagram of the gossip are blended together, intricately and repeatedly. ”
"Yes, those colors, some dark and some light, are indeed in line with the image of the five elements gossip!"
Gu Tan, who was standing far behind at this moment, suddenly spoke up and agreed.
I glanced at Gu Tan angrily, but I would say it at this time, when my master didn't break through this mystery, he didn't even have a fart. Immediately afterwards, the master said, "The image of the Five Elements Bagua on the periphery seems to be in contact with the stone pillar in the middle, but I don't know the connection between them. However, the width of these five elements of gossip is more than one step wider, that is, if you want to pass through these five elements of bagua, you must have one foot on it. ”
Speaking of this, the master took a look around, bent down to pick up a small stone, bent his fingers and flicked it in, just when the small stone flew directly over the Five Elements Bagua and arrived in front of the stone pillar, in an instant, I saw that the stone instantly submerged into the smooth stone surface, I couldn't help but drop my jaw in shock, that, that is obviously a stone, not water, why did the stone fall on the stone and disappear?
This was not the end of the story, and at this very point, I suddenly heard a rumbling sound all around. Master shouted urgently, "Go back again!" ”
After speaking, the master dodged and pushed me into the passage, followed by the stone walls around me, only to see that on the stone walls around me, sharp long arrows burst out, and the long swords flew out from the stone walls in all directions like rain, and hit the stone pillar in the center, but a strange scene appeared again, when those long arrows flew to the stone pillar, they disappeared into the stone pillar like the small stone that the master had shot out before, and disappeared without a trace.
It's just that in this first secret vault, there is a scene like a rain of arrows, and I'm afraid no one wants to try it. Even if you are wearing thick armor, you are afraid that you will be pierced by ten thousand arrows and die. In this way, this should be the power of the first secret vault! Then the next big problem is the big problem we have to face, how can we get through this impenetrable rain of arrows and enter the second secret vault?
After a few moments, the rain of arrows around me suddenly stopped, and the long arrows that were fired disappeared into the stone pillar, as if they had never appeared. On the other hand, those stone walls don't seem to be able to see a hole, but how did those long arrows shoot just now? Could it be that all those holes are sealed? Or is that the secret of the mechanism? When the arrow comes out, the hole eye will automatically open, and when the arrow is finished, the hole eye will close by itself.
In this way, even if someone tries to destroy those holes, they can't find where they are. And the most subtle part is not the hole eyes and stone walls that can shoot long arrows, but the stone pillar in the middle, how can it swallow so many long arrows? It's so weird!
But after seeing the scene in front of me, Gu Tan's master and apprentice's face was obviously gray, and of course, my face was not much better. If I could, I'd rather not go in than be shot by ten thousand arrows. After those long arrows were fired, the surroundings returned to calm, and the five elements and gossip around the stone pillar still kept turning, and everything became as if nothing had happened. I looked around blankly, then approached Master and whispered, "Master, what the hell is going on?" No, let's not go in, in case we are pierced by ten thousand arrows, it's not a fun thing! ”
"Huh?"
Master looked at me in surprise, then glanced at Gu Tan again, and asked casually, "Gu Tan, do you think so too?" If you all give up entering the Demon Sealing Cave, it will save us from fighting for me, and the third Heavenly Book Oracle will not be born! Hearing Master's words, Gu Tan suddenly shuddered, but soon pretended to be calm and puffed up his chest, came to Master's side, and glanced around.
Subsequently, Gu Tan said: "The stones that popped out of your hands just now were most likely touched by some hidden groove, so the long arrows flew around, which is very similar to the strange formation I had read in an ancient book, but for a while, I couldn't remember it!" ”
The master shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Which ancient book has never recorded, this is the Great Array, one of the top ten formations of the Maoshan Sect. Maybe you heard it and forgot it when you were younger, right? ”
"Uh...... What the? Defeat the Great Array? I'm impressed......"
Gu Tan hesitated for a moment, and then smiled embarrassedly: "You also know that most of our sutras are mainly based on alchemy of gods, and many ancient methods are forbidden, and our sutra is indeed not comparable to your tantra, and your tantra is specifically for cultivating these domineering secret methods." So it's not surprising that you still remember. So since you remember what kind of big array this is, why don't you talk about how to crack this array? And what's going on with the mechanisms? ”
"If you admit that you are inferior to our Tantra earlier, then we will not have to fight for a thousand years for the two Tantric Sects. Hehe! ”
Master smiled indifferently.
"Yang Yuanshan! Don't be too complacent, isn't it just a formation! What's the big deal, I, I just forgot it for a while, it's not like I'll never know, but it's too troublesome for me to go back and forth to Maoshan, do you say that you can talk about the way to break the formation? Not to mention the big deal, I'll go back to the Maoshan faction myself and ask other senior brothers! ”
I never thought that Gu Tan would have a child's temper at this moment, but I think the master has to say that he can't stop Gu Tan if he doesn't say it, this heavy secret vault obviously can't stop Gu Tan, even if he can't crack it now, he goes back to find someone to ask for a reason, and then he comes to crack it, it's the same.
Sure enough, the master said casually, "What are you anxious about!" In fact, even if you go back to Maoshan to ask other senior brothers, it is still unlikely to crack it, because at that time, the patriarch just casually said it to let us know that there are ten very powerful formations in the world. As for the method of arranging the formation, as well as the method of breaking the formation, I'm afraid no one knows. But I didn't expect to encounter this kind of formation in the secret vault of this demon cave. Well, this formation can be used as a secret vault to protect the Demon Sealing Cave, and anyone who doesn't know this way won't want to enter it! ”
"Huh? There's no way to crack it? That ......"
"It's not that there's no way to crack it, it's that we don't know what the way to crack it is."
Without waiting for Gu Tan to finish speaking, the master glared at him, and then said: "But the Earth Immortal Boy said that the key to every secret vault is hidden in the secret vault, that is to say, the method of breaking the formation must be hidden in the array plate of this great array. And the power of this great array, there seem to be three points, the first point is the vagaries of the five elements of the gossip, the second point is the ethereal stone pillar, the stone pillar you see, in fact, is not a stone pillar, but an illusion formed by the pouring of streamer stone powder, and the third point is that the surrounding ten thousand arrows are fired together. These sharp arrows pass through the Five Elements Bagua, and then enter the streamer stone powder, and then enter the trap groove, which circulates from the trap to the hole in the inner side of the stone wall, which cannot be circulated endlessly, and will never stop! ”
"Streamer powder? Master, are you saying that the stone pillar is an illusion? Is it an illusion formed by the pouring of very delicate streamer powder? No wonder when I first saw the stone pillar, I felt that there were signs of elaborate carving. No wonder! ”
Speaking of which, I glanced at the stone pillar again, and sure enough, if I looked closely, I could almost see the subtle fluctuations when those streamer stone powder were sprinkled, but the master said that under the streamer stone powder was an underground secret passage, that is to say, the entrance and exit of the entire first secret vault was in that underground secret passage. Thinking of this, I hurriedly said, "Master, if we want to pass through this secret vault, we have to do it through the secret passage under the streamer stone powder, right?" That means we have to crack this Strike Array! ”
"Not bad!"
Master nodded slightly, and then said: "This whole formation is a cyclical one, it is not easy to find the key to breaking the formation, touching any mechanism, it is possible to provoke ten thousand arrows, and the hole on the stone wall, once the long arrow is fired, the hole closes by itself, there is no trace at all, even if it can destroy a few places, but it can't destroy all the holes in a short time, so we only have two choices!" ”
"Well, the first choice is to directly ignore all the steps and rush into the dark passage under the streamer stone powder in the fastest and shortest time, so that even if ten thousand arrows are fired, when they reach the dark passage, they will lose their momentum and will not cause any damage at all!"
Gu Tan then talked eloquently: "The second option is to find the key to close this great array, since the Earth Fairy Boy said that the key to each secret vault is hidden in its own secret vault, but I think this method will be difficult to find, it is better to try the first option!" "Hearing Gu Tan's analysis, not only did Master and I remain silent, but Shangguan Jin beside him also stepped back with a look of fear when he heard it.
Shangguan Jin then said in a trembling voice: "Master, you, do you want to think about it again?" If something goes wrong, it's a life-threatening matter! ”
