Bai Ziqi asked one more question by the way: "When did he change to this spiritual wind formation?"
"Not long ago." Gong Wei thought carefully, "It seemed like nine days ago, or ten days ago? Because the changes were made in a hurry and the workload was heavy, my colleagues still have some opinions privately."
"Ten days ago?" Bai Ziqi's eyes flickered, "In other words, I just met He Xiao in Tianshui City, and he turned around and changed the formation?"
This succession of events indicates that He Xiao's formation was probably tailor-made for Bai Ziqi!
Because He Xiao had no intention of staying in Tianshui City to take over the emperor's slurry, setting up this formation was just a superficial effort.
However, since it was done by He Xiao, even the superficial workmanship is not simple.
At that time, he started to lay out this situation?
After thinking about this clearly, everyone remained silent for a long time.
Counting down the opponents that Bai Duzhi has hunted down all the time, apart from Qingyang Imperial Master, it seems that the one named He is the most difficult to deal with and the most capable of making monsters!
To be on the safe side, Bai Qiqi suggested: "Sir, let's spread the records."
At this time, we can only use a stupid method, everyone spreads out and writes by hand.
Bai Ziqi gave a short "shush" sound, showing impatience. At the same time, he was observing the array diagram and counting with one hand.
As soon as this action came out, everyone knew that Bai Duzhi had made an important discovery, and no one dared to disturb him.
Then, next to the formation diagram drawn by the palace guard, Bai Ziqi stretched out his hand and drew again:
Created by Qianhuan Zhenren, the Tiangang Transformation Formation of Baimao Mountain.
He painted very quickly and was obviously very familiar with the formation.
After finishing the painting, he stood in the middle of the two formations, looking at this one and that one, lost in thought.
Why did He Xiaoliu also have a Tiangang Transformation Formation, and it only had the number thirty-five?
These two formations... what is the connection between these two formations?
No one expected that Bai Ziqi would be in such a daze for half an hour!
The guards of the Heavenly Palace did not dare to move, knowing that this was a critical moment. Anyone who dared to interrupt Bai Duzhi's train of thought would surely suffer consequences afterwards.
Even the prying eyes in the jungle did not leave.
At this time, the palace guard stood numb and changed his posture. His boots rustled on the snow, which was particularly abrupt in this quiet place.
Everyone looked at him angrily.
Bai Ziqi woke up from a dream, his eyes focused again, and he regained his brilliance. He pointed at the picture drawn by the palace guard and said: "There is nothing wrong with using the spirit-gathering formation to collect the emperor's fluid. Now, look at this picture.
The formations, numbers and positions are all correct, it’s just that one number is missing.”
People's memory has rules to follow, that is, the so-called vague shadow. If you remember wrongly, you will make a mistake. If the palace guard remembers wrongly, it is impossible for the palace guard to be accurate and correct, except for missing one.
"This is not a misremembering, but He Xiao did it intentionally." Bai Ziqi continued, "The reason why the Tiangang Formation on Baimao Mountain is weird is because it is a changed formation, and some of the formations are not in their original positions. We even added additional ones in the end.
Drawing it out, it actually has thirty-seven numbers, one number more than the real Tiangang formation."
Everyone was also observing the formations on the ground. Bai Qiqi let out a sigh, pointed at the Tiangang Transformation Formation drawn by Bai Ziqi and said:
"Master Du Shi, I remember that the formation diagram is not like this. The positions of two formations have changed."
"Good, very careful." Bai Ziqi praised him, "After leaving Xiaoyao Sect, about a month and a half later, I asked people to sneak into Baimao Mountain to calculate again, and found that two of the numbers were no longer at the position we recorded at that time. It can be seen that they
It's not fixed. I've been doing research for so long, and I estimate that they probably change with the seasons, and even change with the stars in the sky. It's early spring now, so they should be in this position."
He looked solemn and said word by word: "These two numbers are called 'variables'!"
"The changes in the Baimao Mountain Tiangang Formation were caused by them!"
When the waiter heard this, he couldn't help but said: "The Tiangang formation has a number of thirty-seven, while the one at Yongquan Villa has a number of thirty-five."
Neither of these two Tiangang Formations is the original version, they look very awkward.
"Yes, from a single formation perspective, they are all out of balance. What do you think?"
Before everyone in the Heavenly Palace could reply, the palace guard was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "There is one more on one side and one less on the other. Could it be that the 'variable' has jumped over?"
The waiter glared at him: "Shut up!"
However, the palace guard received a compliment from Bai Ziqi: "Excellent!"
Bai Ziqi also added: "Not only can they jump over, they can even jump back! These two formations are related to each other and contrast with each other, and can be regarded as a whole."
Everyone found it incredible.
This "variable", in the two incompatible formations... came together?
These two "Tiangang Formations", one is in Baimao Mountain and the other is in Yongquan Villa, are thousands of miles apart geographically.
One was created by Master Qianhuan, and the other was set up by He Xiao, and it spans a long time.
Why can these two formations form a control group?
Bai Ziqi was also a little excited: "Actually, these two Tiangang formations are all changing formations - let's call them Xiaoyao formation and Yongquan formation - each formation has one variable, which adds up to two!"
"When we rushed to Baimao Mountain, both variables happened to be in the Xiaoyao Formation, and the variable equivalent to the Yongquan Formation jumped over, so the Xiaoyao Formation had a number of thirty-seven, while the Yongquan Formation only had a number of thirty-five; and according to the
My calculation -" He took out two tree seeds from the Xiaoyao Formation and placed them in the Wellspring Formation, "in exactly seventy-two days, these two variables will most likely jump into the Wellspring Formation.
The situation is reversed, the Yongquan Formation is thirty-seven, and the Xiaoyao Formation is thirty-five."
When everyone heard this, although they didn't say "Wow", their expressions were greatly amazed.
What a strange array design.
But why did He Xiao create the Fountain Formation to echo the Xiaoyao Formation?
"I wanted to find the cave of Qianhuan Zhenren, but I failed many times when I went to Beihai. I couldn't even touch the door. The reason is that the Xiaoyao Formation is not complete at all, and there is no Yongquan Formation as a comparison!"
Wake up the dreamer for a while!
These two formations must be compared together before they can be understood. Master Qianhuan never wanted Tianshen Tiangong to follow the clues and figure it out, so he only arranged one transformation formation in Baimao Mountain.
A person as smart as Bai Ziqi will most likely make wrong assumptions even when there is insufficient information.
He subconsciously poked the formation diagram on the ground with a branch, and there was a click, and the branch as thick as his middle finger broke.
How could the dignified Du Yunshi not be able to control his strength? Bai Ziqi was calm on the surface, but in reality he was excited beyond words!
Everyone in the Heavenly Palace looked at each other, but this time Bai Shiqi couldn't help it: "Master Duzhi, what you are saying is that He Xiao has completed another formation for us, so that you can figure out the position of Qianhuan Zhenren?"
"That's right!" Bai Ziqi said seriously, "Although I don't know what he intended, he actually did it."
"I just recalled that it is indeed possible for these two formations to be combined into one, into a number of seventy-two, and then introduce infinite changes, which is the Earthly Evil Formation!" He said word by word, "There was indeed a Earthly Evil Formation in ancient times.
, but the stars shifted after the cataclysm of heaven and earth, and this formation has been lost for a long time and cannot be seen today. When He Xiao set up the formation, he did not take the shape of the Earthly Evil Formation, but the meaning of the Earthly Evil Formation, in order to convey the secret message to me.
.”
Another person would have no idea what He Xiao was doing.
The more Bai Ziqi studied, the more he felt that He Xiao was a mystery.
What on earth did He Xiao want to do? He actually hinted/guided him to Qian Huan’s hiding place!
Isn't he from Lingshan? Why do you want to harm Master Qianhuan?
Could it be that there is internal strife in Lingshan?
Or is this a pure trap?
"Okay, let's not talk about the Earth Evil Formation. Let's just look at the correlation between the two Tiangang Transformation Formations. Because of the existence of two variables, the formation will change periodically. And this process -"
Bai Ziqi's eyes were as bright as fire: "It's called 'Rebel Tiangang'!"
The periodic jump of the two variables will cause the situation to be reversed. Sometimes the spring formation is filled, and sometimes the free formation is filled.
Also called, Tao goes against Tiangang.
"You have seen the formation variables. But you have not noticed the other variable hidden here -" Bai Ziqi's eyes shone, "That is time!"
He continued: "Let me ask you, when will these two formations return to balance?"
Return to balance?
This question is not difficult, and the waiter said without hesitation: "When the two variables are returned to their original positions, and both formations are number thirty-six, it should be balanced, right?"
Otherwise, the two formations will be top-heavy and one will always be heavy and the other light.
"That's right! The two formations periodically reverse each other, but there must be a period of stability in between." Bai Ziqi picked a tree seed from the Yongquan formation and placed it in the Xiaoyao formation.
In this way, the two formations are symmetrical, both have thirty-six numbers!
"According to the secret report Tiangong received a long time ago, this cycle is five years, and this period of stability is only about ten days!"
Everyone looked confused and didn't know where to start.
Fortunately, Bai Ziqi immediately clarified their doubts: "These ten days are the opening days of Qian Huan Zhenren's Cave!"
"After ten days, the Tiangang formation was reversed again, and the cave was naturally closed again."
According to the clues Tiangong has, Qianhuan Zhenren's cave "Sea and Sky Line" is located in the upside-down sea and is open every five years for ten days.
"Now that I know that the two formations are inverted and complementary to each other, I can deduce the target's location from the existing clues!" Bai Ziqi picked up the branch and poked it gently between the two formations——
"Upside down, this is the Upside Down Sea!"
"Sixty-two days later, Qianhuan Zhenren's cave will be opened for ten days!"
He was finally going to get to Qianhuan Zhenren’s lair!
Everyone bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "Congratulations, sir!"
This mystery has troubled Bai Ziqi for several months, and it was finally solved today.
He took a deep breath, and the night air became fresh.
"Back to the mystery in Yongquan Villa, the calculation methods for the two formations are the same." Bai Ziqi pointed at the Yongquan formation on the ground, "Now He Xiao's formation is missing one variable, thirty-six changes.
After doing thirty-five, it is very simple. As long as you find this escaped 'one', you can find what he has hidden."
