The way these people talk is really annoying to me. The army used to have this kind of rule that strictly prohibits speaking local dialects, so the soldiers can basically speak Mandarin. A few of them can speak Malay here.
, obviously doesn’t want us to hear it.
If they speak Chinese, they have to be sneaky, and it is easy for Mr. Mai next to them to hear it. If they speak Malay, even Martin must not understand it. I originally had a good impression of Shaoyu, even if he and Martin last time
I deliberately arranged a "Hongmen Banquet", but I didn't take it to heart, but through this incident, I changed my view of him. This person seemed to be sincere on the surface, but deep down he was not clear about it.
"Hey, I'm asking you something. Why are you so dazed?" Li Xin touched me and saw that I didn't answer her for a long time, so she became a little reluctant.
I whispered in her ear, "Don't make trouble. Look at Shaoyu and the others. They are mumbling and don't know what to say. Their mouths are full of birdsong."
"It's in Malay, and it seems to be talking about the environment here." Li Xin said softly.
I was a little surprised and said, "Can you understand Malay?"
Li Xin nodded and said, "Yes, but I don't understand many languages. Except for the indigenous languages that I don't understand at all, I can understand some of the other languages."
I really admire her now. It’s no wonder that she has lived in many countries and knows a little bit of the languages of these countries. It’s not surprising, but she can also understand some of the languages of a small country like Malay.
It's quite a weird thing.
"Then what exactly did they say?" I asked.
Li Xin pouted and said, "I don't know the specifics. I can only understand some simple words, survival, danger, death. Judging from the words, they are talking about the environment here."
It turns out that after working on it for a long time, she was half-hearted. I thought she could be more professional. Even if she doesn’t understand everything, she still understands more than half of it. What’s the use of just a few words? It can’t prove what they are talking about.
The environment, I felt like they were plotting something together, their eyes looked a little sinister.
If they weren't afraid that we would hear, why are they speaking Malay? This is obviously because they have something up their sleeves. Even if they don't have any evil intentions, they are discussing something shameful. No matter what happens in the future, you should pay more attention to them and be on guard.
Better than being defenseless....
While I was resting, I was still thinking about that ancient woman, not because of her beauty, but because of who she was? It must be no accident that she appeared in my dream. She was probably with us this time.
The purpose of going to sea is related. Maybe she used something to resonate with me, so I saw her in my dream.
When I think of her, I think of the phoenix pendant, which was a relic of the queen of the early Ming Dynasty. Is this woman the queen of the Ming Dynasty? It is not yet completely certain. This is just a one-sided statement, but judging from her dress and temperament
Look, it's very possible.
But in addition to the jade pendant, there are two golden things. Up to now, Jiao Ba and I have not been able to figure out what these two things are for, and we have never used them. What is this ancient woman asking me for?
Which one? Or do these three things originally belong to her?
This secret must be solved soon, so what is the image I saw before? Is it her soul, or is it just an illusion created by Bingcheng?
I can't tell this clearly. After all, the ice city belongs to the barrier, and the barrier was built by wizards, so I can't tell at all, but no matter what she is, she can't stop us from moving forward.
I don’t know what else I will encounter next. What will happen when the boundaries of these six ancient ships are completely broken? I really have a hope in my heart. Confidential, it should not be far away.
So far, except for the big man, no one has seen this woman. Even Mai Lao only saw a black shadow at that time. I have not mentioned this matter to anyone, not even Jiao Ba. , but I always feel that I still have to meet this woman...
We rested for about an hour. It was very warm here. It was much warmer than the previous ice city. I even felt very comfortable. Sitting on the backpack, I didn’t want to get up. The sun’s rays made me feel comfortable. Drowsy.
There's just one thing I don't understand. The temperature can rise, but the ice still exists. This is really a strange place. Maybe this is the difference in the barrier. The power of the wizard is really powerful, and it's beyond my control. imagination.
This hour's rest is very important to us. At least it relieves our nervous and tired nerves. The compressed dry food everyone brought can still be used. Although the water in the thermos has cooled, at least it has not frozen. , we can still deal with it for a while.
We have to admit that Martin deserves a certain amount of credit for our survival to this day. The weapons and equipment he provided played a vital role in such a harsh environment. Without these equipment, we would have died long ago. It seems that I really have to thank him. If I followed Jenny all the way and came here so rashly, there would be no hope of getting out alive...
Before we set off, I stood up and observed the location of the six ships. They seemed to be arranged in a very orderly manner. They seemed to form some kind of shape, but I couldn't see it. It just felt weird. This arrangement It should be intentional.
"The position of these six ships is very strange. Didn't you notice? They seem to have a certain shape." I said what I was thinking.
"It's a hexagon. Every three ships merge into a triangle, and every six ships form a hexagon." Mr. Mai said calmly.
"Yes, it's a hexagon. What does it mean?" I asked quickly, there must be a purpose.
"I'm not sure what kind of formation it seems to be. Mai Lao shook his head and said he was helpless.
"Is it...a hexagonal magic circle?" Jiao Ba suddenly said, his expression looked very stern, what kind of magic circle is this? The name sounds like it is difficult to deal with.
"Hexagonal formation? I've heard of it before. Didn't you say that... this formation has been lost for many years and is long gone?" Chang Shan was surprised.
Jiao Ba counted again. After confirming, he then took out his diving knife, marked the position of each ship on the ice, and then began to connect the six ships together. When these six ancient ships When the straight lines are connected together, they indeed form a distinct hexagonal shape.
"Based on the preliminary judgment from the graphics, it should be a hexagonal array. This is an extremely superb method of protecting the tomb, and it is also a very evil method. Normally, the main tomb is placed in the middle, and within the four and five corners of the main tomb, there will be There are five kinds of coffins, which are the coffins of the deceased."
"The coffins of these five burials represent different powers. They are generally made of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which represent the five elements. It is commonly known as the five-cornered array. This is the origin of the hexagonal array, but with the addition of this corner, the difficulty becomes even greater.
It’s much bigger.”
"The five elements are originally mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, metal is producing water, water is producing wood, wood is producing fire, fire is producing earth, and earth is producing metal, which play the role of interproducing and restraining each other, but if there is one more corner, there is no way to restrain each other. The pentagonal formation at that time,
The safety of the main tomb could no longer be ensured, so during the Qin Dynasty, the dark mage created the hexagonal array."
"I don't know what this additional power is. I don't even know how these six powers support and restrain each other. I only know that when these six powers come together,
When they are together, a very powerful barrier will be formed, which will completely protect the main tomb. The hexagonal array is much more powerful than the pentagonal array, and its power is unimaginable. I have never heard of anyone.
Breaking the hexagonal circle."
When Jiao Ba's words reached this point, I couldn't help but interject, "Ah? According to what you say, wouldn't we be doomed here? There's no way this can be broken at all."
Jiao Ba frowned, "I'm really not sure whether it can be broken. Logically speaking, this kind of formation has been lost since the Qin Dynasty, because there are not many dark mages who know this kind of formation. This is a
This is an extremely high-level magic circle. Generally speaking, a wizard cannot complete it. It requires several mages to work together. The most important thing is... once the hexagonal magic circle is successful, all the magicians who set up the magic circle will die."
"Wow, it's so evil. All the mages who set up the formation are dead?" The big man couldn't help but interjected and asked.
Jiao Ba nodded and said, "Well, that's why it was lost. Very few mages are willing to do this. After all, it will cost you your life. In fact, I don't really understand it. In the early five-cornered magic circle, the caster will not die."
, but when it evolves into a hexagonal array, no matter how many mages work together, they will all die in the end."
"Is it true? Where did you know about it, old man? Since it was lost after the Qin Dynasty, how could you know?" I was a little skeptical. After all, it was so long ago, and who did he listen to?
?
"I read it in a Feng Shui book passed down from my ancestors. It only gave a rough introduction and was not very comprehensive. If Mr. Mai hadn't mentioned the hexagon just now, I wouldn't have thought of it." Jiao Ba looked at me seriously.
said.
I nodded and said, "Whether it's right or not, we can only look at it according to this magic circle. According to what you just said, this magic circle is very powerful. If we want to break it, our hope is slim?"
"To be honest, it's not very slim, but...almost impossible." Jiao Ba's stern face proved the seriousness of the matter.
After Jiao Ba finished speaking, everyone looked at each other. Everyone's expressions changed quickly. Li Xin was a little anxious, "Can we just wait to die?"
