Chapter 55: Ten Thousand Withered Bones Hiding Mysteries
"Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation?"
Liu Shiba's eyes flashed and he screamed.
"The Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation doesn't look like it, does it?"
Cao Xiong glanced at Liu Shiba in confusion.
The Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation is not an unknown formation, it is famous in history.
According to legend, during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang of the Shu Kingdom defeated Sima Yi of the Wei Kingdom in one fell swoop at Wuzhangyuan, relying on the Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation, preserving the last trace of vitality for the Shu Kingdom.
The Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation is also called the Yellow River Nine Curves. The whole formation has four doors, which refer to life, death, surprise, and open. Because the word "death" is taboo, it is often not opened.
The internal structure of the formation is three lines, three fights and nine curves. There are two types of formations: horizontal connection and vertical connection.
There is one bucket for the first bucket, two buckets for the second bucket, and nine buckets for the ninth bucket.
Sometimes large formations will also have jumping-type puzzle doors, ranging from nine to as many as eighty-one.
This formation goes around and around, with confusing doors emerging one after another. People who mistakenly enter the formation often go out of the confusing doors by mistake and return to their original place.
This is why Li Ergou is spinning around in circles!
Liu Shiba looked extremely confident at this moment, raised his hand and said with a smile:
"The directions of the Eight Diagrams are Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui.
Corresponding to northwest, due north, northeast, due east, southeast, due south, southwest, due west, the middle bucket is called five yellows.
According to Dunjia, it is divided into eight gates: Xiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Death, Jing, and there are many changes.
The large formation in front of us has natural stalagmites arranged according to the directions of the Nine Palaces and Bagua, with many changes.
If you accidentally fall in and get trapped, you will feel that everything is dark, gloomy, and foggy, and you will not be able to get out."
"Aren't the two dogs very dangerous? The little master must find a way to get the two dogs out."
Cuihua wrinkled her ugly face and stared at Liu Shiba with tearful eyes.
Cao Xiong looked at it carefully again and said strangely:
"Eighteen, that's not right. The old man also studied the Jiugong Bagua array. It's a bit different?"
Liu Shiba glanced at Cuihua with a smile, then at Cao Xiong, and explained:
"This Nine Palaces Bagua Formation is not simple, but it is actually very simple. Just Aunt Cuihua can pull Uncle Ergou out."
"How to say?"
Cao Xiong said doubtfully.
"Haha! It's not easy to say, because this Nine Palaces Bagua Array is a Yin Yang Nine Palaces Bagua Array, and what we have in front of us is an anti-Nine Palaces Bagua Array.
To put it simply, Aunt Cuihua, look at this arrangement of stalagmites, does it look familiar?
Look carefully! Do you think each stalagmite is a stone house in our Liujiatun?"
Liu Shiba laughed and said.
Cuihua widened her eyes and muttered:
"Can't you understand? If you want me to kill two dogs with one arrow, it would be easier..."
Cao Xiong was thoughtful after hearing this, his eyes narrowed into slits!
Liu Shiba smiled bitterly, pointed at two of the stalagmites and said:
"Aunt Cuihua, can you try to use this Gen Zhen Er gate as the mountain pass for our Liujiatun to enter the village?"
When Cao Xiong heard this, he couldn't help but pat his head and suddenly realized:
"I see!"
Then Cao Xiong said doubtfully:
"Old man, when I walk in the village, I don't feel any big formations. Your grandfather and my master didn't say anything about it either."
"That's because the formation has not been activated, and there is something in it that should not be in the village, which is the gas-calming nail that was erected on my grandfather's grave.
As soon as this gas-suppressing nail, which is regarded as a telegraph pole, is removed, those who enter without the guidance of the villagers or without breaking the formation holes will be dead and unable to come out for the rest of their lives."
Liu Shiba explained in detail.
"What about the people in the village?"
Cao Xiong asked curiously.
Liu Shiba burst into laughter upon hearing this and explained
"People in the village have lived in the village since childhood. After a long time, even children can tell whose house it is with their eyes closed and walk out at will."
"So that's it. The layout of the stone houses in Liujiatun was planned by your grandfather fifty years ago. I didn't expect it to have such a wonderful effect?"
Cao Xiong exclaimed.
Having said this, Cao Xiong asked strangely:
"Could it be that your grandfather had already known that today would happen? Will outsiders invade Liujiatun?"
Liu Shiba glanced at Cao Xiong and said with a wry smile:
"I don't know either."
"I know."
Cuihua looked suddenly enlightened.
Liu Shiba walked slowly to the stalagmite, pulled Cuihua and said, "I saw the one under Uncle Ergou's right foot, yes, is it just that small stalagmite?"
"I saw it, that's my house!"
Cuihua replied anxiously.
Liu Shiba scratched the back of his head awkwardly and said:
"After entering, close your eyes, walk to the stalagmite, destroy the stalagmite, and the formation will be broken!"
Before Liu Shiba could finish speaking, Cuihua snatched the mountaineering pickaxe from his hand and stepped into the stalagmites.
A few minutes later, Cuihua, with a proud face, pulled the confused Li Ergou out.
Li Ergou had a dark face and muttered dully:
"No wonder, after I ran for dozens of miles, I said why I haven't reached my head yet? I was so dizzy that I didn't see anyone. I was scared to death!"
After saying that, Li Ergou suddenly became smarter, glared at Liu Shiba and said angrily:
"Why are you so familiar with my house? When you were a kid, you often followed your grandfather to watch my wife take a bath, right? Tell me, what did you see?"
Liu Shiba touched his forehead in embarrassment, looked at the green flowers blooming like an old tree mischievously, licked his lips, and replied with a look of fascination:
"It's very big, very white, very curvy..."
"Fuck..."
Li Ergou cursed angrily with a grimace as if he had eaten yellow lotus.
"Both of you are not good people. She is my wife. She is almost sixty, so don't worry about her."
Cao Xiong listened to Li Ergou's complaints strangely, then looked at the green flowers that looked like old tree bark, and almost spat out...
These guys have really unique taste...
Next, four people and one dog easily passed through the Nine Palaces and Bagua Array. After walking several hundred meters, they found a gap that was two people wide and squeezed through.
After passing through the gap between the mountain walls, we came to a huge space with gusty winds. It was probably a huge cave under the mountain.
It would take more than ten seconds for the echo of the words to hit the opposite mountain wall and return...
Several people looked around with flashlights, and sure enough they found several separate giant human oil lamps.
When the four people lit up everyone's oil lamps along the stone wall, what they saw was a tragic, heart-stopping and jaw-dropping scene...
Although the light is not good enough, we can still clearly see a huge pit in the middle of the cave.
The entire cave is estimated to have an area of tens of thousands square meters, with the deep pit in the middle taking up most of it.
The four of them walked to the edge of the pit and looked down. At a glance, they saw that the bottom of the pit was full of dense black human bones, densely packed together. They didn't know how thick it was at the bottom.
Could this be an ancient mass grave?
No! At least 100,000 people?
"Woooo..."
Even Lao Hei whimpered in fright and hid behind Liu Shiba with his tail between his legs!
Faced with such a shocking and terrifying scene, Liu Shiba asked himself that he was extremely strong mentally.
But seeing this scene, I still couldn't help but gasp.
He once saw on TV the massacre of Chinese people in mass graves by Japan, and Liu Shiba gritted his teeth in hatred for this.
In Liu Shiba's heart, he always believed that the famous Yamato clan across the sea should not exist in this world.
However, the scenes on TV and the things in books obviously cannot be compared with the scene I am seeing with my own eyes now.
How does it feel to see several deep pits the size of football fields, all filled with black human bones?
There are a bunch of antiques in the tomb above, and a maddening death pit hidden below, with human oil lamps burning on the walls.
This frightening scene made Liu Shiba feel like he was in a dream, everything felt so unreal, as if he was dreaming.
Liu Shiba's heart lit up, and an uncontrollable thought suddenly came to his mind...
Could it be that this is the real tomb of Cao Cao?
The tomb filled with treasures above is just a hood to confuse the world?
The meaning of Cao Cao's seventy-two doubtful tombs is that all seventy-two are fake, and only the one here is real.
In the true tomb of Cao Cao, there is not a single treasure, but only countless withered bones that accompanied him...
So? Where are Cao Cao’s real bones?
As if they had a clear understanding of each other, Cao Xiong and Liu Shiba looked at each other silently and nodded at the same time.
The hatred in Cao Xiong's eyes seemed to have disappeared a lot.
