Chapter 196: Between the Mysteries of Life and Death
This is a tall and empty attic with only one floor, with eight pillars supporting the top. Zhan Chen's eyes were immediately attracted to the ground, because there was nothing else in the attic except for a picture painted on the floor.
A huge array diagram.
This was the Xiantian Tai Chi Bagua diagram. Zhan Chen immediately realized it. He had glimpsed glimpses of this famous formation diagram in many classics.
Those classics have a common feature, which is that this formation diagram is said to be magical, and it is praised as the foundation of the world's spiritual formations. It is said that all the formations and restrictions in the world are derived from its changes.
The descriptions in those classics are just that. The principles and changes of the Xiantian Tai Chi Bagua Diagram are either not mentioned at all or are vague. After reading to the end, Zhan Chen also only knew about this array diagram.
an impression.
At this moment, he heard a person's frightened cry beside him: What's going on? The door can't be opened.
Zhan Chen came to his senses from his deep thoughts, looked at him and asked: What can't be opened?
When the man saw Zhan Chen asking questions, he immediately pointed to the door and replied: Senior brother, the exit door is locked.
No way. The other three people also screamed and tried desperately to open the door, but they tried their best to suck milk, but they failed.
Seeing this, Zhan Chen had a bad premonition in his heart and shouted: You guys, please step back and let me give it a try.
The four people immediately complied, because only Zhan Chen in this room had reached the level of King Wu.
Zhan Chen stepped forward, grabbed the doorknob, and dragged it hard, but the door didn't move at all. He took out the Chang Geng sword again and struck the door hard, but in the end, it only splashed a few sparks on the door, not even a trace.
None were left.
I don’t know what kind of materials this entire attic was made of, and even the king’s soldiers couldn’t damage it at all.
Even Zhan Chen failed, and the five of them were at a loss. Are they going to be trapped here forever?
What should we do? We are going to die here. Two people have already begun to despair.
When Zhan Chen heard their shouts, his originally panicked heart calmed down. Yes, what is needed most at this time is calmness. Panic, pessimism and despair will not solve the problem at all.
He turned around and looked at the huge innate Bagua map on the ground. His heart moved, and the only possible way out was on this map, so he said: Don't panic, everyone, the secret of this attic must be on the ground.
In the formation diagram
But we have never seen what kind of formation this is. Several people cast inquiring glances at Zhan Chen.
This formation is called the Xiantian Tai Chi Bagua Diagram. It is said to be the beginning of ten thousand formations, and it must contain mysteries.
How to crack it
Please calm down first and let me think about it.
Zhan Chen began to observe everything in the attic carefully. Suddenly, he saw two lines of words written on the two pillars on one side, but they were a pair of couplets. The first couplet was: Qian Tiankun and Earth will be in peace; the second couplet was
: Leaving the fire ridge, water, water, and fire become the meridian.
These two lines of calligraphy are written with an immortal style and extraordinary grace. At first glance, they don't look like they were written by ordinary people.
Looking at these words, Zhan Chen remembered the three characters "Hanshan Ling" he had seen when he first came here. Although the handwriting was different, the character was similar. He immediately realized that this must have been written by Taoist Hanshan.
He may still be confused about the meanings of the other words, but the meaning of the four words "Fu Ji Tai Lai" is very clear. This is a reminder that the way out is within the attic.
So he pulled out his sword, put himself on guard, gritted his teeth and walked towards the central formation. At this time, the other four people hid far away and waited for Zhan Chen to test them, because they had already become frightened birds.
The repeated encounters have made them understand that there are mechanisms everywhere here, and if they are not careful, their lives will be in danger.
Just when Zhan Chen stepped into the center of the Xiantian Bagua Diagram, a strange phenomenon occurred again. The eight hexagrams surrounding the Yin-Yang Fish suddenly bloomed with fluorescence, like light bulbs that were lit up, looking extraordinarily special.
It is obvious that this formation has been activated.
This was when Zhan Chen stood in the center of the formation and did not dare to move. His nerves were also highly tense, worried that something might happen again.
But after a while, nothing happened. Zhan Chen breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to step out of the formation again. However, just when his feet touched a bright hexagram on the edge, he felt his eyes blurred and the surroundings blurred.
The scenery has undergone earth-shaking changes.
But the other four people who were in the same room with him saw Zhan Chen's body turn into a stream of light and disappear into the attic. They were frightened and frightened for a moment, and they didn't dare to move.
Having said that, when Zhan Chen opened his eyes again, he felt that he was in a strange place.
His first feeling was that it was so hot that the whole floor was scorching, making it impossible to stand, and there was scorching hot magma all around, forming a lake.
There is only a narrow iron bridge without guardrails on the lake, which can only allow one person to pass, and the bridge deck is very close to the magma, only three meters. It extends to the other shore, about a thousand meters away.
Zhan Chen looked behind him and saw a thick wall. Obviously, to find a new way out, he had to pass the iron bridge in front of him.
After hesitating at the bridge for a long time, he found that his breathing was getting heavier and heavier, because it was so hot here, and every extra second he stayed was a drain on his physical strength.
No, I have to go there. Zhan Chen finally decided to take the first step. However, as soon as his feet touched the iron bridge, he almost couldn't help but jump up. It turned out that the temperature above was extremely high when people walked on it.
He is undergoing the punishment of being burned.
The pain eased slightly, and he was expected to head towards the other side of the bridge. He suddenly gritted his teeth, resisted the severe pain in his feet, and rushed towards the other side with a rush of energy.
The journey was smooth at first, and he traveled nearly 900 meters, but at the last moment, the originally peaceful magma lake began to become violent, churning and roaring.
Suddenly, a huge wave ten meters high rose from the lake and hit him head-on.
Zhan Chen's pupils shrank suddenly. If he was hit by it, he would be reimbursed directly.
At this moment of life and death, he suddenly felt a surge of heroic spirit in his chest, took out his Chang Geng Sword and charged towards the giant waves of magma.
Zhan Chen roared with a sword raised to the sky, thrust out with a sword, and the human sword merged into one, turning into a sharp lightning, directly shooting through the magma and flying to the other side.
Finally overcoming the danger, he only felt his knees weakening, so he sat on the ground, took off his boots and took a look, and smiled bitterly. It turned out that his feet had been burned, and he even smelled a faint smell of burning.
He immediately put on a new pair of boots, struggled to get up, and walked towards the finish line, where he unexpectedly found another innate Tai Chi Bagua transmission array that was exactly the same as the one he had seen in the attic.
Seeing this situation, Zhan Chen couldn't help but be stunned, thinking, where will it lead this time? But no one answered his question, so he had no choice but to step up again. A light flashed, and his The figure disappeared.
After a daze, Zhan Chen opened his eyes and was completely stunned. This was an attic with only eight columns, two of which were written with the couplets he first saw.
The first line is: Qian, Tian, Kun, and Earth will be in peace; the second line is: Leaving the fire, water, water, and fire will become a blessing.
In the middle of the attic is an identical innate Bagua Diagram teleportation array.
Everything seemed to be back to where it started, except that the four people who came in with him disappeared, and now he was alone in the attic.
He didn't know whether he had returned to the original attic or been transported to a new attic.
But he doesn't need to know, he just needs to follow the destiny, step on the teleportation array again, and disappear again
This time, when Zhan Chen opened his eyes, he found himself in a secret room. The secret room was very small, less than five square meters. After some exploration, he finally found the mechanism to open the door and opened the door. It starts.
Click, click, and with a dull sound, the stone door was opened. What lay in front of him was a dark passage that led to nowhere.
After leaving the stone chamber, Zhan Chen calmed down his nervousness a little, chose a direction, and started a new adventure.
In the secret passage, it was eerily quiet. He could even hear his own footsteps clearly. Suddenly, there was a whistling sound in the darkness.
Zhan Chen reacted quickly and instinctively took a few steps back. He heard a series of ding-ding-ding sounds, as if something had been shot through.
He hurriedly followed the sound, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his body. It turned out that the wall only half a foot away from him was already covered with hundreds of steel needles about 20 centimeters long.
Zhan Chen clearly remembered that just now, he tried to use the Chang Geng Sword to slash the wall with all his strength, but in the end, not even a trace was left.
After this incident, Zhan Chen became more careful, but he was still tricked. The sole of his foot suddenly collapsed and a big hole appeared.
Fortunately, he reacted in time. At the critical moment, he grabbed the edge of the hole and barely managed to avoid falling into the bottomless underground.
After finally struggling up from the ground, he walked towards the end of the passage again, with a determined look in his eyes and only one thought in his mind, that is: to survive.
After experiencing many traps, Zhan Chen finally came to the end. Sure enough, the same situation appeared again, it was still the Bagua teleportation array.
Zhan Chen stood up and disappeared into the secret passage. When he opened his eyes again, it was still the original attic and the original teleportation array.
He had no choice but to embark on the journey again mechanically
The third time, he appeared in a dense forest, which was full of all kinds of poisons, making it difficult for people to guard against. Zhan Chen was very careful and managed to catch him. Fortunately, he had a high-level detoxification pill and did not die. .
The fourth time, he appeared in an ice maze, where the temperature was as low as one hundred degrees below zero. If he stayed in it for a long time, he would be frozen. He had to find the teleportation array quickly to escape. Fortunately, he was lucky and survived. Come down.
However, this life-and-death adventure is still going on, and Zhan Chen never knows what kind of desperate situation awaits him behind the teleportation array.
I can't go on like this, otherwise I will die sooner or later. There must be some way to get out, and the secret is on that couplet. Zhan Chen became more and more anxious, racking his brains to guess at the mystery hidden in that couplet.
