[Rebirth] Bone Quest

Chapter 70 The Entrance on the Eve of the Great War

He pointed to the palm-sized piece of wet soil under his feet, pointed to the sun in the sky, and said, "That old man Sissen is very superstitious about those ancient magic arts, and he will definitely use these things when he builds the underground palace, just like Qiji As I said just now, Xissen must need water to retreat inside, and it is very likely that these eight locations directly connect to the underground undercurrent to lead water into the palace.

Speaking of this, Ouyang seemed to have thought of something, took out a handheld computer from his backpack, tapped it twice and suddenly exclaimed: "Don't say you guessed it right, there is really an undercurrent under this desert."

Qiao Yu smiled knowingly, and leaned over to take a look, and found that Ouyang was holding a 3D diagram of the soil layer in his hand. She tapped twice to enlarge the picture, pointed to a position more than ten meters underground and said, "This R diagram is I got it from the Land Survey Bureau last year, you can see that the blue part here is criss-crossed and covered with landmarks, and the source is connected to the moat in the north of the city, so it can be judged that it is running water and can be used for drinking.”

"Can you tell the direction of the water flow from the picture?" Ye Xing asked while rubbing his chin.

Ouyang nodded, tapped a few times on the screen, and the picture instantly rotated into a bird's-eye view. The blue part represents the water source from the main trunk in the east.

Junzhi raised his eyebrows in surprise, "This underground undercurrent is really special. Our country's terrain is high in the west and low in the east, and rivers generally flow from west to east. This is completely opposite. It's really strange."

Qiao Yu seemed to have guessed that this would happen a long time ago, without showing any surprise on his face, he took a few steps forward, stopped in front of the wet soil on the east side, and said in a low voice after a moment of silence, "Since the undercurrent comes from the east With the westward flow, everything can be explained, if not as expected, this should be the only entrance to the underground palace."

Everyone opened their mouths in surprise, and couldn't believe that the entrance that they had been looking for for so long was far away from the sky and right in front of them.More importantly, none of them could understand what Qiao Yu said.

Cong Rong frowned suspiciously, and asked the common question in everyone's mind: "How did you judge it? What does the direction of the undercurrent have to do with the gossip array you mentioned earlier?"

Qiao Yu smiled, picked up a branch from the ground, rubbed it with his feet on the ground, and drew a big circle on the loess, and then drew eight arrows on the corresponding positions of the eight pieces of wet soil. .

"Look at the picture I drew. The eight positions correspond to Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Kun, Gen, Kan, and Xun in the eight trigrams. The place under our feet is in the east, which is the position of Kan. The old saying goes: 'Kun is the land, Gen is the mountain, and Kan is the water', which means that the position of Kan belongs to water in the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams, and just now Ouyang also said that the underground undercurrent in this desert flows from east to west. That is to say, the trunk of the undercurrent is due east, corresponding to the threshold in the Bagua formation, so this must be the source of the main water supply road of the underground palace."

"Oh~ I understand. You mean that we can find the underground palace as long as we start from here and follow the direction of the water flow?" Qi Ji was clever once, clapping his hands and said excitedly.

Qiao Yu smiled and nodded, "That's right, that's what it means."

"Then what are you waiting for, guys, let's dig it out, as long as you hollow out this place, you can find the entrance, hahaha..." Qi Ji spat twice into his palm, ready to work.

Cong Rong thought for a while and thought that the matter should not be so simple, so he stopped him, "It must not be so simple, it's not too late for us to listen to Yexing before we act."

At this moment, Qiao Yu's phone rang, and when he looked at the phone number, his eyes lit up immediately, "Shu Qing, have you found the exact location of these wet lands?"

"Haha, Xing Xing, you are too good. The angles between the eight pieces of wet soil are all 45 degrees, which is not bad."

"Thank you!" Qiao Yu hung up the phone excitedly, her fingers trembling with joy.

In fact, what he said just now is all based on the fact that the eight pieces of wet soil are in the same position as the eight trigrams formation. If there is a slight deviation, the formation cannot be formed, and then what he said will be invalid.Now that Shu Qing has verified his conjecture, he is even more sure that the threshold under his feet is the entrance of the underground palace. He stuffed his phone into his pocket, patted Qiji on the shoulder and said with a smile: "There are four, four and sixteen variations in the eight trigrams formation." , if according to what you said, we might be swept away by the undercurrent inside before we found the entrance with a shovel wheel."

"Then what should we do? You can't try all 16 methods, right? Damn it! What on earth is this old pervert Xi Sen thinking? He has such a perverted trick!" Ouyang is as impatient as Qi Ji, and he was frustrated when he heard this. Scratching his head, he felt unwilling.

"Absolutely not." Cong Rong and Qiao Yu said in unison.

The two looked at each other in surprise, and Qiao Yu bumped Qiao Yu's shoulder with a smile: "You talk first."

Cong Rong scratched his head and glanced at him, as if to say, 'Don't laugh at me if I'm wrong', "I've read some books, which mentioned that in ancient times, some high-ranking officials and nobles would use gossip arrays in their tombs to stop tomb robbers Thief, so this thing must be lethal, if we hit any mechanism casually, wouldn't we even lose our lives."

Qiao Yu gave him a complimenting look, and Cong Rong was immediately elated, and everyone in the crime team seemed to see a big dog tail wagging behind him.It's really embarrassing, even if you are a loyal dog, you should get rid of the aura of attacking!

Cong Rong threw it over like a throwing knife, and everyone immediately looked up at the sky and pretended not to see it.

Qiao Yu pursed his lips and smiled lowly, drew a few times on the ground with a branch and said: "Actually, it's not that scary. The Eight Diagrams Formation is exactly what it is. As long as you master its rules, you can definitely pass the Eight Diagrams Formation. , Health, Injury, Du, Scenery, Death, Surprise, divided into eight doors. Just enter from the "Shengmen" in the east, go out from the "Xiumen" in the southwest, and then enter from the "Open Gate" in the north. The formation is broken."

Qi Ji and Ouyang jumped up when they heard this, and screamed excitedly, "I'm going, it sounds mysterious, it's so simple! Let's start working for a while and go to the underground to kill him, and start tomorrow It’s perfect for a celebration party!”

Cong Rong and Qiao Yu looked at each other helplessly, and gave Jun Yi a sympathetic look. Why did you, such a reliable and gentle young man, fall into the hands of a fool like Qi Ji?

Junzhi pretended he didn't see it, and turned around to look for his stupid wife.Qiao Yu took a breath, raised her eyebrows and looked at Cong Rong: Start working now?

Cong Rong shrugged his shoulders and gave him a look: If we don't start work now, do we have to wait until 2012?

Qiao Yu scratched his hair, clapped his hands and called everyone together: "Brothers, let's get to work! Li Da, ten of you, divide into two teams and go to the southwest and the north. Let's gather here, we must not act without authorization, understand?"

An order for everyone to take action, the sky is getting dark, the birds are returning to their nests over the empty wasteland, the huge black sky is covered with large swaths of dark clouds, the dark and oppressive atmosphere is sandwiched with the biting cold wind, making people I felt a trace of surprise and panic in my heart.

The sound of the excavator rumbled, and the metallic sound of shovels and axes colliding filled the surroundings. Qiao Yu and Cong Rong's gang kept their hands on the ground, and the wet land due east was quickly dug out to a depth of one meter. The more moisture there is in the soil, when it reaches two meters, you can even hear the sound of water splashing when you shovel it down.

The source was getting closer and closer, and everyone in the serious crime team did not dare to breathe, and kept digging against the biting north wind.The deeper he dug, the greater the uneasiness in Qiao Yu's heart, as if an invisible net had trapped his heart, and he trembled while breathing.

Things were going so smoothly that one had to suspect fraud, but seeing that the water source was so close at hand, no one was willing to call for a stop.The big pit was getting bigger and bigger. After jumping into the pit, the six members of the serious crime team had to raise their necks completely to see the sky. The black sky seemed to be integrated with the surrounding wet soil. It was cloudy and cold, like a warning The next step for them is hell.

Cong Rong could see that Qiao Yu was very nervous. He put down the shovel in his hand, stopped his shoulder and said in a low voice, "What are you worried about? Why is your face so ugly?"

Qiao Yu paused for a moment, feeling the temperature on Cong Rong's body, and then he recovered. He shrank his shoulders and hesitated for a long time before speaking: "I don't feel very good... I always feel that something will happen. I'm afraid that I will put everyone Damn... Hurry up and stop digging before it's too late."

Cong Rong tightened his arms and rubbed his hair: "What stupid things you said, you have come to this point, there is no turning back, and you have found a way to break the formation, give yourself some confidence, Don't think about it."

"That's what I said, but I'm not sure what Xi Sen is thinking, in case..."

"There is no chance." Cong Rong grabbed Qiao Yu's cold fingers after being soaked in water, and said firmly: "Since you are here, there is no turning back. I will accompany you regardless of whether he is at the gate of hell or Huangquan Road."

Qiao Yu took the fixed shot, clutched the hem of his clothes and lowered his head without making another sound.Cong Rong actually didn't know him at all, what he was worried about was not his own comfort, but that he would kill Cong Rong and these brothers.This seemingly calm appearance makes people feel oppressed and almost suffocated, as if a giant beast lurking in the dark is waiting for an opportunity.

He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and picked up the shovel again. At this moment, he heard a loud bang, and the ground shook, followed by screams.

Qiao Yu was startled suddenly, and grabbed Cong Rong's hand: "What's going on?!"

Cong Rong's face turned pale in an instant. If he heard correctly just now, the scream should be Li Da's voice. Did something happen to them? !
