king array

Mu Jiu still remembers the night when his mother and concubine went crazy. The Ling family was burned down by a fire, but his father pinched his mother and concubine's chin and told her tenderly that General Ling's wife, Princess Wuyang, was actually Concubine Lan's wife. The daughter, the only daughter she had worked so hard to avenge for, died precisely because of her, and died so horribly.The so-called absurdity of the world, Princess Greedy Wolf grew up under Concubine Lan's knees since she was a child, treating her like a sister like a mother, she died to protect her, and she also vowed to overthrow the Great Xia Dynasty to avenge her, but she never expected that in the end, she would repay her benefactor Actually killed the benefactor's daughter's family.

That night, the whole of Jingzhou seemed to be filled with the smell of blood. Mu Jiu had never seen her mother so embarrassed. She came out of the teleportation array with disheveled hair, holding a sharp knife, and slashed at herself one after another. In the end, she almost became She pulled Mu Jiu's skirt and begged bitterly to let him make up for the mistakes she made.

"The young son of the Ling family is still alive, we must rescue him, we must rescue him..." Princess Greedy Wolf repeated this over and over again, leaving hideous bloodstains on Mu Jiu's clothes with her blood-soaked hands, as if for him Make some sort of imprint.

The smell of blood and sweet memories filled the night when Mu Jiu rushed into the general's mansion surrounded by heavy soldiers, killed the living without expression, turned the dead silently, and finally died in the cellar. The little milk dumpling was dug out from the wine jar.

He escaped from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood behind his back, and protected him from being wanted by the court. He watched him change from being on guard to relying on him, and heard him call him benefactor.He wrapped his tender arms around his neck and hugged his waist.He dressed him up as a girl, taught him the Five Elements formula, and secretly kissed his immature cheek when he was asleep...

However, this cannot change his identity as the son of the enemy after all.

His mother killed his whole family, and he was the first person in this world who wanted to work hard to get close to and protect him, and he was destined to hate him to death.And he has no choice but to continue to follow his mother's path and become a pawn in the king's formation.

Because even if he is hated to the bone, the premise is that both him and him are alive.

Only by living can we have the qualifications to hate and be hated.

And if he wants to live, he must make it impossible for everyone who wants him to die.

"Shaoqi, what do you want me to say?" Mu Jiu asked softly.

"It's natural to tell your difficulties! There are unavoidable reasons for everything you do, why don't you explain it?"

"What difficulties do I have? How should I explain it?" Mu Jiu stared at Ling Xun with burning eyes, "Should I explain that my approaching you from the beginning to the end was a design with ulterior motives, or explain that I didn't plot against Zhong Lishan? No intention Using you to try to seize Daxia's country? Didn't you poison Xiaogan with ten-day grass?"

Ling Xun's expression froze, and he forcibly defended Mu Jiu, "After the poison of the ten-day grass is removed, the poisoned person will be invulnerable to all kinds of poisons, and will also have a strong body. When you gave Xiaogan the poison of the ten-day grass, the body actually There is already an antidote...and Wu Qing, long before we went to Qingping Mountain, he had the idea of ​​wanting Zhongli Mountain to die, even without your plan, Qingping Mountain would have an accident sooner or later, you just took advantage of the relationship between them In addition, if you hadn’t become the Greedy Wolf King, I don’t know how many people in Daxia would be treated like pigs and dogs, and the formation masters of Daxia would still be alive without seeing the light of day..."

"Young period." Mu Jiu lightly pressed Ling Xun's lips and interrupted him, "Don't make excuses for me, no matter what, I did those things, and this cannot be changed. I don't ask for forgiveness, I just hope you give me another chance."

Ling Xun stared at Mu Jiu for a while, then got up suddenly, and dragged him to the underground palace.

Mu Jiu asked him what he was going to do, Ling Xun said, "Let's go and have a look in that cave."

"You don't want to go in?"

Ling Xun looked back at Mu Jiu, with eyes that Mu Jiu had never seen before.

Under such steadfast gaze, time seems to stand still, and even the darkness is coated with tenderness.

"Mu Huaifeng, your favorite season is winter, your favorite weather is light snow, your favorite color is white, your favorite dessert is rice dumplings, and your favorite beast is snow fox..." Ling Xun almost said After saying this in one breath, he took another step forward and hugged Mu Jiu tightly, "Huaifeng, I never thought about you before, I only know how to judge your sincerity and weigh my gains and losses. From now on, you don't have to think about I am accommodating, I am happy with you, and I am willing to share with you no matter your joy or sorrow or sorrow. You just need to tell me in that underground palace, do you want to go in? If you don't want to, we will stay here until we die. If you want to, leave him alone, and I will accompany you."

When Ling Xun approached, Mu Jiu's body was already trembling slightly, and he listened almost stiffly, until the last sentence, his spirit and form were all shaken.

"Okay, let's go and have a look." This expression of affection and sincerity did not arouse any thoughts, Mu Jiu just held Ling Xun's hand with his backhand, interlocking his fingers, but there was never a moment Made him feel so safe.

Since we are willing to go to the mountains of swords and seas of fire together, why should we be afraid of life and death?

If we can communicate with each other, whether it is day or night or for a long time, what is the difference?

The two finally walked back to the stone gate of the underground palace.

Looking at the entrance of the black hole, Ling Xun turned his head and whispered to Mu Jiu, "Do you want us to make out again before going in?"

Mu Jiu; "..."

Ling Xun: "To be a ghost is to be a romantic ghost."

But in the end, Mu Jiu still didn't do anything to Ling Xun at the gate of the underground palace. After the two stepped into the stone gate, they walked along a deep stone road. When they reached the end, they thought it was a dead end, but what they didn't expect was that , when they reached the dead end, there was another rumbling noise ahead, opening a new stone door.

Walking all the way like this, it can be seen that all the organs in this underground palace are exquisitely designed, and judging from the sharp arrows hidden in the walls, this place is not so friendly. Once the protective array is activated, people will fall into a situation of eternal doom .However, the strange thing is that these organs that can cause people to die thousands of times have not been activated from the beginning to the end. It seems that the owner of the underground palace has a special preference for Ling Xun and Mu Jiu. Let go all the way.

This underground palace is not as magnificent as the current palace, but it has a thick and magnificent atmosphere of antiquity everywhere. The tall stone gates are natural, and it can be seen that they are all carved from the whole stone.After passing through the third stone gate, the inside of the palace is no longer pitch black, and there are lights lit by array techniques on the four walls, so the relief paintings around the walls also come into view.

"It does look like a person's mausoleum here. Judging by the scale, it may be a king." After passing through three halls in succession, things other than stone sculptures and statues finally began to appear. Ling Xun looked around the four walls, waiting for him to After reading all the murals, I became puzzled again, "No, why do you look at the situation painted on this mural, it doesn't look like a king?"

It really doesn't look like a king. After all, which king, after his death, the tomb murals do not have the grand scene of hundreds of officials surrounded by power, but guard the empty mountain alone, with only a dog by his side?

After reading the mural, Mu Jiu frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Ling Xun hurriedly asked: "How about it, do you know who the owner of this underground palace is?"

Mu Jiu shook his head, "Based on the historical materials of formation techniques that I have read, I don't know that there was such a number one figure among the formation masters. However, since the founding of the Xia Dynasty, the way of formation techniques has been suppressed to the utmost, and many historical materials of formation techniques have been lost. , some historical materials are missing, and it is not surprising that there is no record of the life of the owner of the underground palace."

So the two continued to walk deep into the underground palace, and when another stone door slowly opened, Ling Xun was almost blinded by the things inside.

"...so much gold, silver and jewelry." Ling Xun could only see money in his eyes.

"There are still bamboo slips here." Obviously, Mu Jiu is not as hopeless as a miser. He walked to the other side of the palace and saw rows of pure gold bookshelves as high as three people filled with slips. What kind of array technique, such a display that no one cares about all the year round, the slips are not even a little dust.

Mu Jiu flipped through several scrolls of bamboo slips at a glance, unable to hide his excitement, "These are all the long-lost classics of formation techniques."

Ling Xun finally struggled out of the pile of money, and ran over after hearing the words, and what he got was a history book, which described the customs and customs of Kyushu more than 1000 years before the Great Xia. "Not mentioned in.

"I think I have found the identity of the owner of this underground palace." Ling Xun turned over the bamboo slips in his hand from beginning to end, and pointed them to Mu Jiu.

According to the records in this bamboo slip, about 1000 years ago, the power of formation masters was a hundred times stronger than it is now, even detached from the world, and they were equivalent to gods in the hearts of many people. It is controlled by the forces of the major formation masters.

Among these formation masters, the most not to be underestimated is Wangyuezong.

The moon-watching sect is famous not only because of its strength, but also because there is only one person in the whole moon-watching sect, and that is the suzerain of the moon-watching sect.If you want to be more precise, in addition to Mochizume, there is also a dog named Mochizuki.

According to legend, Mochizuki Sect Master's formation is unfathomable, but his temper is extremely paranoid and eccentric. In his later years, he almost became a murderer without blinking an eye.But people dare not act rashly because they are afraid of his strength, they can only bear with it, waiting for an opportunity to unite and launch a siege.How Sect Master Wangyue died in the end, no one knows, but when other formation masters attacked the Moon Sect, only an empty mountain was found, and Sect Master Wangyue, together with his life's treasures, all disappeared into the world.

"If the owner of this underground palace is Sect Master Mochizuki, then there is a problem." Mu Jiu said after reading.

Ling Xun asked, "What's the problem?"

"Why are there historical materials about his death in the underground palace of Sect Master Mochizuki?"

Ling Xun was so excited by the question that he immediately felt goosebumps popping out.

"Maybe, maybe I'm overthinking it. Maybe the owner of the tomb is not Sect Master Mochizuki at all, but just... just happened to have a dog."

Mu Jiu looked at the next stone gate, and said to Ling Xun, "Let's keep going, maybe we will find something else."

The two continued to walk forward, and when the next stone door opened, they were stunned.

I saw that there was indeed a sarcophagus in the next palace, but the lid of the sarcophagus was opened, but the inside was empty.

Ling Xun's first reaction was that there had been tomb robbers here before, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. Is there any tomb robber in the world who would only steal corpses and not take any money from the treasures in the tomb?

This situation... looks more like the owner of the sarcophagus came out of it himself.

"Oh my god, Mu Huaifeng, the dead man in this sarcophagus must be a fake corpse, right?" Ling Xun's scalp exploded, wishing he could jump on Mu Jiu.

Mu Jiu said, "Don't be afraid, this sarcophagus was originally empty."

Ling Xun was surprised: "How do you know?"

Mu Jiu pointed to the sarcophagus and said, "No one else can see it, even a magician? Do you see that there was half a yin in this coffin?"

Ling Xun was reminded by Mu Jiuyi that the formation master can distinguish the power of yin and yang and the five elements. If it is a coffin filled with a dead person, it must be full of Yin energy. The formation master can tell at a glance, and the sarcophagus in front of him is clean Clean, without any gloomy air.

"Could it be that the underground palace is actually empty?" Ling Xun was even more confused this time.

Mu Jiu walked around the sarcophagus, beckoning Ling Xun to go, "Look, there are words here."

Ling Xun leaned over, and sure enough, he saw words in the sarcophagus, which read:

I came, but you left.

"What does this mean?" Ling Xun looked at Mu Jiu.

Mu Jiu thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head to look at the other side of the underground palace, and said to Ling Xun, "There is still a stone gate ahead."

Ling Xun was surprised. It is reasonable to say that the innermost part of the underground palace is the main tomb where the coffin is placed. Even if there is room behind it, it should be the accompanying hall or ear room where the owner's funeral objects are placed. Why is there a stone door behind the main tomb? ?Looking at the scale, it is no less than the main tomb.

The underground palace was getting weirder and weirder, which aroused the curiosity of Ling Xun and Mu Jiu. They walked around the tomb where the coffin was empty, and continued to walk inside. Sure enough, another stone door opened automatically.

This time Ling Xun sensed the gloomy atmosphere almost as soon as the door was opened, and all the lights on the four walls were lit up, illuminating the originally pitch-black palace as if it were daylight, and also illuminating a sarcophagus in the middle of the palace.It's just that this sarcophagus is different from the previous one. Not only is it tightly closed, but it also emits bursts of yin, obviously a dead person lies inside.

"Why is this coffin not right?" Ling Xun took a look and found the problem, "There are generally seven nails in the coffin, and one of them must not be nailed to death, otherwise the soul of the person in the coffin will be trapped and cannot be reborn forever. This coffin is Seven nails nailed..."

Ling Xun stopped in the middle of speaking, and suddenly belatedly observed the layout of the palace carefully, and said in shock: "The layout of the five elements here is the same as that of the never-to-exceed formation!"

"There are also words on it." Mu Jiu walked to the side of the coffin, glanced at the coffin lid, and said softly.

Ling Xun took a few steps forward and saw the writing on the coffin. It was different from the handwriting on the sarcophagus in front. The writing was wild and scribbled, which seemed to reveal the madness of the person who wrote it. There were only eight words, one stroke at a time. All strength penetrates the back of the stone——

Waiting for thousands of years in vain, once a dream.

"Why do I see that the people who left the words in the two tombs seem to be a pair? There is a tacit understanding between the answers and questions." The two were silent for a while, Ling Xun said.

Mu Jiu let out a long sigh, and seemed to have guessed the reason, and said to Ling Xun, "Shaoqi, have you noticed that this palace is very similar to the one outside?"

Ling Xun thought for a while, then nodded and said, "It's really similar! But...it seems a little different. Let me go back and take a look." Ling Xun said that he was about to go out and return to the palace in front, but was stopped by Mu Jiu .

"No need to go." Mu Jiudao, "The layout of the five elements in these two palaces happens to be reversed."

Ling Xun seemed to suddenly understand something, and widened his eyes, "You mean, the owners of these two sarcophagi are people who match the five elements?"

Mu Jiu nodded, "But according to my guess, these two people haven't met." Before Ling Xun could ask, Mu Jiu said again: "I don't know if you noticed the formation books we read just now, the latest ones There is at least a hundred years difference between Sect Master Mochizuki and his death."

Ling Xun understood a little bit, and suddenly said: "So this underground palace was actually built by a person who matches his five elements more than a hundred years after the death of Sect Master Wangyue?"

Mu Jiu nodded, "I've heard a rumor about Sect Master Mochizuki, but it's just from official and unofficial history, and no one has ever taken it seriously. It is said that Sect Master Mochizuki has a strong array. In order to find a way to break through the limit, he has been looking for people who match the five elements all his life. , It’s a pity that you can’t ask for it, when the deadline is approaching, he created the formation of eternal life, in order not to enter the cycle of reincarnation, so that the souls of the dead can linger in the world, and continue to look for their five-element match. "

Ling Xun sighed in his heart, the two people in the tomb one after the other, one waited for a lifetime but couldn't get it, and the other finally found a person who matched the five elements, but found that the other person had been dead for more than 100 years.

It's a sad story indeed.

Thinking about how lucky he and Mu Jiu are.

"Is that why the two of us can enter the underground palace unimpeded?" Ling Xun suddenly had a guess in his heart, and looked up at Mu Jiu, "Because the two masters regretted their lives, they left a gap in the underground palace, making the two five elements Matched people can enter here freely?"

Based on Mu Jiu and Ling Xun's level of formation techniques, it is not difficult to see how powerful the formation techniques can be seen everywhere in this underground palace. If the people who set up the formation did not intend to show mercy, they would be dead by now.

Mu Jiu obviously had the same guess as Ling Xun, and said, "Since this is the case, the owner of the tomb will definitely not let us be trapped here, and will leave a way for us to leave."

So the two searched the underground palace, and after finding that there was no way out as expected, they devoted themselves to studying those formation books.They soon discovered that as they read more and more books on formations, the power of the five elements bound in their bodies was gradually untied, until they found a book of formations that match the five elements for double cultivation, and finally found the way to break through the space. Methods.

……

Five years after Ling Xun disappeared, a mountain suddenly collapsed in Luoxia Valley, and a large number of ancient books on formations were unearthed.

At that time, formation techniques had gradually flourished in Kyushu, and formation techniques academies could be seen everywhere. Ordinary people without the potential for formation techniques could also buy tools with formation techniques in Duobao Store.After the ancient books of Sunset Clouds Valley were discovered, a large number of long-lost formation techniques reappeared, which accelerated the development of formation techniques in Kyushu. In just a few years, the changes in Kyushu were almost earth-shaking. No matter how strange it is, the tools of magic formation and enchantment have also entered every household, which greatly facilitates people's production and life.

The two who have already settled down in the deep mountains and old forests sometimes travel all over the world, looking at the increasingly prosperous land of Kyushu, one day Ling Xun pretends to be a trafficker, and asks Mu Jiu who is pretending to be a pawn: "You gave up the throne of greedy wolf, don't you?" Will you regret it?"

Mu Jiu looked at Ling Xun with a smile, and asked, "Maybe you gave up the whole Great Xia, wouldn't you regret it?"

Ling Xun thought about it quite seriously, "Well, maybe I will regret it. Unfortunately, it is too late to regret it, and I can't go back. It's all your fault!"

Maybe it's because they have been separated from the world for too long, the two of them have a kind of idleness in every move, as if they only have each other in their eyes and can't see anything else.Ling Xun lay on the back of the cart pulled by the donkey, squeezed the ground with several stacks of hay, and yawned lazily under the sun on his back.

Mu Jiu put the straw hat on Ling Xun's head to shade him from the sun, leaned over and kissed him on the cheek when no one was looking, and said in a low voice, "It's all my fault, go back to make it up to you tonight."

Thinking of Mu Jiu's method of compensation, Ling Xun couldn't help shaking, turned over quickly, pressed his butt behind him, and then he was relieved, and continued to tease Mu Jiu with narrowed eyes: "Little beauty is dishonest, sir, I ask you to regret it No regrets, but you haven't answered yet."

Mu Jiu smiled, and stopped going around in circles, and said seriously, "I don't regret it."

Ling Xun was blushed by Mu Jiu, looked away, and deliberately said indifferently: "I guess you won't either! Hui Niang said that you want a peaceful world where formation techniques are flourishing and formation masters and ordinary people coexist. Now Your long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, what is there to regret?"

Mu Jiu couldn't help being teased by Ling Xun's appearance, and directly pressed him on the haystack, only using formation techniques to continue driving.

"Shouldn't you be worried that Xiaogan will be bullied if you don't go back?"

Ling Xun glared, "My nephew, would he be so cowardly?" After he finished speaking, he thought for a while, and then added: "But... if one day he is really bullied, I will take those people one by one. Take it out and whip it."

But Mu Jiu laughed softly: "Don't talk too much, maybe when the day comes, you won't be able to whip this whip anymore."

It is said that the world is always impermanent, Hui Niang's lifelong desire is to overthrow Daxia's country and avenge Concubine Lan, but unexpectedly she kills Concubine Lan's daughter. In the end, he became the minister of Daxia's humerus, and supported Daxia Jiangshan with one hand. Mu Jiu tried his best to seize the power of Jiangshan, but he didn't know that one day he would give up the throne and be willing to be a pawn.

In the formation of kings, there is no king but a king, cause and effect follow each other, and all actions are impermanent.

15 years later.

Zhongli Gan's carriage was stopped by someone, and it was clearly seen that the person coming was a palace servant.

"Young Lord, Your Majesty has a request."

Zhongli Gan was looking out of the window with his chin propped up, and saw two young men standing beside a candied haws stand from a distance, looking at the silhouettes of their backs, one of them was very similar to his uncle who had passed away many years ago, so he couldn't help but look at the two more In the blink of an eye, after thinking about it again, he felt that he was crazy.

If my uncle lived to this day, he would probably have a lot of beards, how could he still look like a young man?

"Little Lord? Little Lord?"

Zhongli Gan was finally called back to his soul by the servant, and when he looked at the waist badge presented by the servant, he couldn't help but sink his face, and simply said three words: "I won't go!"

The servant didn't say anything, he waved his hand directly, followed by four or five guards, and tied up Zhongli Gan three or two times, but unfortunately he didn't have time to shut up.

Zhongli Gan immediately raised his voice and howled, "You fool! You have no way! You have no conscience to kill Zhongliang! Uncle fights for you, and you will crush his nephew when you turn around..."

The waiter was one head and two big, but he didn't dare to offend this great master, but there was no way to allow him to keep shouting like this, so he had to roll up his sleeves and go to battle in person, and threw a knife at the back of Zhong Ligan's neck, and chopped him off Halo, took away.

Mu Jiu, who was one street away, said, "Why do I seem to hear Xiao Gan's voice?"

Ling Xun finally chose a candied haws: "Maybe I misheard, isn't he sent to Bingzhou by the emperor?"

Mu Jiu wanted to listen carefully, but was dragged away by Ling Xun, and squeezed towards a teahouse where a storyteller was being told.

Whose nephew is it...

His unreliable uncle led his worried aunt to sit in the teahouse until the sun went down, and finally finished listening to a story.

Ling Xun was still a little unsatisfied, and said to Mu Jiu: "Huaifeng, you said that we practiced the five-element matching double cultivation method left by the Mochizuki Sect Master, and even now our appearance has not changed much. Will we practice for a few more years? Can you ascend to immortality?"

Mu Jiu thought for a while about the story called "Fox Xiu" that he had heard in the teahouse just now, and thought, in the future, it would be better for Ling Xun to read less of the nonsense books he made up, but he said: "Yes, let's try harder .”

Ling Xun: "Well, yes, if you work harder, maybe you can even have a baby."

Mu Jiu: "..."

In the long setting sun, the two went far away together like this, and the vicissitudes of life, only the sweet and sour of candied haws will never change.

(Finish)
