Chapter 315 The Formation of Snakes and Pans-
"Old Ye, there is nothing in this poor place. You are wasting your time. Let's go up."
Ding Heran said as he touched the wall of the well in disgust. Although it was dry, it was extremely smooth. It took a lot of effort for the two of them to get down. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to get up.
Ye Wujiu turned a deaf ear and stood still as if he had been cast on a body-fixing technique.
"Old Ye, I said you..."
"Shut up."
Ding Heran frowned and closed his eyes.
Although it was impossible to see Ye Wujiu's appearance in the dark surroundings, the intimidating power of these two words was truly overwhelming - usually only when he was thinking about something with special concentration and had already found clues to the solution to the problem. That's why.
Ding Heran was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak out.
He doesn't know how long it took, maybe it wasn't long, but he had nothing to do, so he found it long and unbearable.
"I may know the secret of this well."
Ye Wujiu finally spoke,
"The entire Realm Lord's Mansion is a huge magic circle."
.
"We have encountered countless mechanisms and illusion formations along the way, but if we think about it carefully, all changes are inseparable from their origins, and they all seem to originate from the 'Eight Formations of the Marquis of Wu'. These eight formations correspond to the Bagua, and are the basis of each other and the transformation of each other. , the eight formations can interact and evolve into sixty-four formations, one-to-one corresponding to the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes.”
"The eight formations that serve as the base of the formation are infinitely varied. They are the "sky covering, earth carrying, wind rising, cloud hanging, dragon flying, tiger wing, bird flying, snake panning" recorded in "Bing Lue Compilation". ”
……
Ding Heran scratched his head with a sly expression. Formation and mechanism techniques had always been his weaknesses. Whenever he talked about this topic, he could only listen to Mo Tingfeng and the others' clear explanation.
At this moment, he suddenly heard Ye Wujiu talking about dragons, tigers, birds, and snakes. Ding Heran felt frightened. He silently thought about his toes in the dark, fearing that something "dirty" would suddenly emerge from the bottom of the well covered with dead branches and leaves. ".
"How about we go up first and then talk about it?"
"You also know that I don't like snakes the most. If I accidentally encounter that Laoshizi Snake Formation you mentioned, we won't be able to use it in this well, right?"
……
Ye Wujiu could only be heard sighing softly in the darkness.
"Old Ding, your uneducated appearance is even worse than Brother Wei."
"You are confused about the "Bing Luo Zun Wen", but the "Eight Formations Theory" clearly states that the eight formations are 'metal, wood, water, fire, earth, heaven, earth, and man', and you must be clear about the eight illusions, right? ?”
"Hehe... Qing, is it clear?"
Ding Heran let out a sneer, which basically meant he was giving up on this topic.
Although I couldn't see his expression, I could completely imagine Ye Wujiu's dislike for him at this moment.
"You...listen carefully, I will only say it once."
"Although the Snake and Pan Formation has the word snake, it does not mean a snake surging around people. Instead, it refers to the use of mechanisms, terrain, light and environment to set up an illusory array, making it wind and coil like a snake coiling and python, and there are many confusions in it. The blinding method makes it difficult for people to distinguish between pros and cons and reality. ”
"There are almost dead ends and dead ends in the Shepan Formation. There is only one way to survive and one exit in the entire formation, and the exits change endlessly with the mutual influence of Wuhou's Eight Formations. Even if someone is lucky enough to escape and then enter the formation, even if he follows the traces, If we take the same path as last time, the end of that path is definitely not the exit.”
"To come up with the Snake and Pan Formation, you need to combine the time and location, start with the Qimen Dunjia technique, find out the specific location of the 'Teng Snake', one of the eight gods, at the current moment, and completely avoid it.' Bi Teng Snake, get out of the way, and no matter what situation you encounter, you can never turn back. Only by this method can you have a chance to break the situation."
……
"No, Lao Ye, do you have to open a small stove for me in this damn place?"
Such detailed "teaching" made Ding Heran a little confused. He felt that something was wrong with Ye Wujiu from the moment he got into the dry well, but he couldn't pinpoint the specific problem.
"Haha."
Ye Wujiu sneered, which sounded quite unexpected in this deep pit of a dry well where you couldn't even see your fingers.
"I don't know whether I should praise you for your intuition or scold you for being a cunt."
"If I'm not wrong, we have already entered the snake and pan array since we entered the well."
"What?!"
Ding Heran became anxious upon hearing this and subconsciously touched the wall of the well to find a way out.
I don’t know what the material of the well wall is, but it seems to be a little smoother than before. Not to mention that the Snake and Pan Formation has a law of death that does not turn back. Even if it doesn’t, he may not be able to get out the same way. This dry well is at least thirty feet deep, and it is not straight up and down. There are many twists and turns in the middle, which means that it is not advisable to fly up when performing the technique. You will easily hit the rugged and slippery well wall. There is no point of strength to maintain balance, and you will definitely fall. If you come down, you will only fall worse.
After thinking about it, Ding Heran felt depressed and punched the wall of the well.
"Old Ye, are you mistaken? This broken well is such a big place. We have been down here for a long time. Don't say anything, there is no way out?"
"Don't talk about the living people. I don't think even a fly can fly out. How about we send a message to the Lord and ask him to come out to catch us. Let's go out first and then consider the long term."
"Why do you think the Realm Lord's Mansion is so complicated? Aren't you afraid that one of your own will accidentally fall in?"
"But normal people would never come to such a desolate place..."
……
Faced with Ding Heran's barrage of complaints, Ye Wujiu ignored it. Instead, he closed his eyes and placed his palms on the well wall, using his water power to release layers of ice crystals. Although he couldn't see it, he could pass through this. The method is to quickly "scan" the inner wall of the dry well to look for possible exit secret doors.
It's just that this technique consumes a lot of mana, and he is injured, so he can only use it once at best. Everything depends on fate.
.
After about three cups of tea, Ding Heran took the lead in collecting the magic energy, with a look of frustration on his face - he found that it was impossible to perform directional communication in this poor place.
Not only that, he took out a handkerchief and wrapped it with silver and one of his personal tokens, and tried to use magic to throw it out of the dry well, so that the patrolling Realm Lord's Mansion guards would find the traces of the two of them.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
But the fact is that it can't even be done to this extent.
The entrance to the cave was clearly unobstructed, but there was a very strong air barrier pressing towards the well. He was unable to penetrate this barrier with his quasi-B level magic power.
Ding Heran sighed and sat down against the wall of the well.
This is great, not only did Ruan Mianmian not find them, but they were also trapped here - the two leaders of Tianluo and Diwang of the Sichen Mansion. It would be extremely embarrassing if word of this got out.
……
"Old Ye, I'm at the end of my rope. It's up to you whether my brother can get out smoothly."
"Yeah."
Ye Wujiu responded vaguely and sat down against the wall of the well. The spell he had just cast consumed a huge amount of money and he needed to slow down a bit. Fortunately, he already had some ideas about how to break the situation.
"The inner wall of this dry well is entirely made of obsidian, which is a strong barrier and astringent. It is a huge magic weapon in itself. No wonder it can block all information from here."
"I just performed the technique carefully. There are no secret doors or trap buttons on the well wall, but... within this obsidian wall, there are eighty-one winding paths."
"One of them must lead to the exit."
Ding Heran stood up immediately after hearing this! He looked like he was destined to win.
"Okay, Lao Ye, you still have a way! Since there is an exit in the stone wall, it's not easy. You pick a path and I will be responsible for opening the way!"
……
"It's not that simple."
"Not to mention that these exits are about three feet away from the stone wall. It is difficult for you and me to drill through them with our magic power. Even if we have this magic power, we cannot do it."
"The Snake and Pan Formation is ever-changing. Maybe if you really dig through it, you will find that it is just another stone wall, and there is still no exit."
"Is it possible that we two are trapped here to death?" Ding Heran became even more frustrated.
"...I'll give it a try."
As he spoke, Ye Wujiu took off his belt and tied one of their hands together, and asked Ding Heran to close his eyes, telling him not to open them no matter what the circumstances or any sound, and to just follow him step by step.
After doing all this, he also closed his eyes, led Ding Heran to the center of the dry well, kneaded the secrets and chanted the incantation, found the "open door" position in the well at this moment according to the Qimen Dunjia, and then walked towards the Beidou Tiangang step. Advance in the "open door" position - the Beidou Tiangang Steps are crisscrossed, and it is inevitable that you will encounter the "snake" position during the march. Ye Wujiu changed his steps here so that the angle is always facing the "open door" position of the eight gates.
Of course, Ding Heran also followed the same method.
Oddly enough, the bottom of the well is only four feet in diameter. With the distance between their steps, they might not be able to do even half a set of Beidou Tiangang Steps without hitting the obsidian wall. But half a stick of incense passed by, and not only did the two of them not hit anything, they also There is a feeling of getting wider and wider as you walk.
Hearing the faint sound of dripping water, Ding Heran closed his eyes and sniffed, smelling something like mountain spring water after a rain.
"Old Ding, open your eyes."
