Chapter 396 Heavy Losses

In front of the stone slab, Little Brother Li reluctantly repeated his question.

Niangniang was tired of him asking, only to explain,"Eight trigrams each have three lines, Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Burgundy, against the eight sides.

It represents heaven, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire, mountain and zephyr, eight types of natural phenomena.

Symbolizing the changes and cycles of the world, the method of categorization is like the five elements, and everything in the world can be categorized into the Eight Trigrams."

"Can't understand it, just tell me how it's wrong?"

"Told you you couldn't understand and asked!"

"You go down the list and I'll understand the rest."

"Okay, then I'll tell you, the eight trigrams are divided into eight gates, Hugh, Sheng, Injury, Du, Jing, Death, Surprise, and Kai.

The three auspicious gates of opening, rest, and birth, the three evil gates of death, shock, and injury, and the neutral gates of Dumen and Jingmen."

"I think I understand this one, that is, if you find the three auspicious gates of opening, resting, and birth, you will be able to pass through without any problems?"

"It's not that simple, the auspicious door is overcome with auspiciousness not, the vicious door is overcome with viciousness not, you must also figure out the phases in the trigrams in order to find the right way to live."

"It's too complicated, just tell me plainly, which door should we look for?"

"Just don't know which door to look for, that's why I say it's not right, it's a mess of gossip!"

"Messing with the trigrams, what does that mean?"

Shen Xingyue explained from the side, "Xiao Wan is right, this is a messy set of trigrams, yin and yang are indistinguishable, the eight gates are unknown, everything is chaotic ."

"Do you mean to say that the surname Mu is playing us?"

"That's not true, this stone slab has been placed here for many years, even if he wants to fool the trespassers, he may not be targeting us."

Li Mu looked towards the inside of the hall, it was still pitch black, you would never know what the layout was inside when you stood outside.

He had never been able to figure out how Mu Yun had managed to do this, and the most plausible explanation was that the materials used to build the great hall were special and could shield the intruder's line of sight.

Anyway, it's just that you can only see it if he wants you to, and you can't see it if he doesn't want you to, even if you're standing in the doorway.

Messing up the trigrams, how?

Reimu couldn't understand the terms, but he knew for a fact that they were in trouble.

The two of them, Lin Wan, began to study the stone slab again.

He Xiaoyu was just as confused as her senior brother.

However, she was much more serious than her senior brother, compared to the one who was distracted, she had been listening carefully on the sidelines, whether she could understand or not was one thing, her attitude had to be correct.

After listening for a while, I saw that the two high rollers really didn't have a way to crack the puzzle.

He Xiaoyu couldn't help but suggest, "Why don't we go in and take a look, maybe we'll understand the meaning of the trigrams when we get inside."

Li Mu immediately agreed.

"Xiao Yu is right, instead of staying here and guessing, why don't we go in and take a look, maybe all the puzzles will be solved and the truth is not that complicated."

Lin Wan shook her head and said, "Before we figure out the trigrams, we might encounter danger if we rush in, and in case that happens, it will be too late to regret it."

"Then what should we do, you also said that this is an unsolvable chaotic trigram, the fate of staying here is no better, if you ask me, left and right are both dead, so why not go and take a chance."

Lin Niangniang couldn't decide and asked Shen Xingyue with her eyes.

The latter nodded and said to her, "Brother Mu has a point, although there are many crises inside, staying here is definitely a dead end, so why not take a risk and try it out, maybe there will be a ray of hope."

The crowd finally agreed and were ready to venture out into the world.

Lin Wan and Shen Xingyue made a move together to copy that chaotic trigram map, and the crowd followed behind the Yan-devil and walked into the main hall together.

As it opened up before him, a stone wall was piled up horizontally and vertically, dividing the great hall into many areas.

Due to the obstructed view, they could not see the whole of the interior clearly, and it was estimated to be an eight trigrams array, and no one could say what the exact structure was.

Strangely enough, above their heads hovered a stone pillar.

The stone pillars were of varying lengths, some overhanging the stone wall, others hanging almost to the ground, and it was not clear what they were for.

Li Mu and the others were also considered to be well-informed and did not show much surprise at the strange phenomenon of the pillar hanging in mid-air.

It must be some kind of art, or a special material that allows these pillars to show up in this unnatural state, no need to make a fuss about it.

Lin Wan and Shen Xingyue eeped almost simultaneously.

He Xiaoyu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong."

Lin Wan responded, "The top and bottom are each an eight trigrams formation, one on the ground and one in the air, what does this mean?"

Li Mu had a bright idea and said to her, "By combining the two copies of the trigrams together, will it become that chaotic trigram?"

Lin Wan hurriedly spread the trigram map on the ground and studied it with Shen Xingyue.

The two men each took out a piece of white paper and sketched out a small portion of the trigrams based on the range of their eyesight, and in doing so, they made a counterpropagation of the chaotic trigrams.

The whole process was exceptionally difficult, Li Mu didn't dare to rush them and stood aside, waiting silently.

It was unknown how long had passed before the two trigrams were finally projected.

Without waiting for Li Mu to express his happiness, a basin of cool water fell on his head.

Lin Niangniang said, "Xingyue, I still can't determine a way to escape, there are a total of two copies of the trigrams, which one should we choose?"

Shen Xingyue frowned and said, "Choosing either one is a mistake, not choosing either one is also a mistake, this Muyun is so cunning and does have two tricks up his sleeve."

The two women shared a moment of emotion and began to study the two trigrams.

This time, it took even longer, Li Mu snuggled up to Xiao Bai and didn't know how many sleeps he had taken, and surprisingly, he still hadn't come to a conclusion over there.

He Xiaoyu was always listening attentively, her attitude remained upright, and she seemed to be a good student with a strong desire to learn.

Li Mu can not help but feel funny, the youngest sister has always been this temperament, always refused to easily give in, others will not she will, others will she even more.

Of the three women, she has the weakest combination.

This fact makes He Xiaoyu feel the pressure, we Xiaoyu sister does not want to be a vase, our goal is to be a good assistant, to be able to hold up a piece of heaven for the senior brother.

Reimu moved over, crouched down next to him and asked, "How's it going?"

Shen Xingyue replied, "It's roughly about the same, there are still some unspecified areas, when the time comes, we may need to make a choice."

"What choice, go left or right?"

"Yes, Moo, when it comes to situations like that, we need someone to scout."

Li Mu looked directly at the Mistletoe Demon.

"Just let them go, White, you're in charge of the arrangements!"

"Yes, Master!"

Lin Wan whispered, "Hubby, I'm afraid there will be deaths and injuries!"

Li Mu lowered his voice and responded, "That's their lives, one cannot be soft-hearted for a great general, do you want to explore the path yourself, or rather, let me do it?"

"I didn't mean that, I mean..."

Li Mu reached out and pinched his wife's face and said seriously, "We are the commander of the three armies, and treating our men well is a virtue that we must possess, but you must keep in mind the saying that mercy does not govern soldiers."

Shen Xingyue sighed and said to Lin Wan, "Xiao Wan, let's do as Brother Mu suggests, let's get ready to go!"

Lin Wan didn't say anything else and nodded silently.

The crowd of gods, demons, and monsters, led by Shen Xingyue, plunged headlong into the Bagua Formation.

The Bagua Formation was instantly activated, and the stone walls and pillars were constantly moving.

There was no longer any physical object in front of their eyes, only white.

Paths appeared on the ground, paths of fire, paths of water, paths of stone, paths of thorns, and those paths were intertwined and led in all directions.

"Holy shit, big deal!" Li Mu shouted in surprise.

Lin Wan, who was on the side, calmly said, "It's all illusions, it's not surprising, everyone be careful, one wrong step and you'll be doomed, don't move around, follow the star and moon."

Shen Xingyue walked very slowly, careful with each step.

The crowd followed suit, not daring to take a wrong step.

As he continued to go deeper and deeper, the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling appeared in all directions, and there were even swords, claws and teeth, above his head, flashing from time to time.

Li Mu asked in a low voice, "Wife, are these things real or fake?"

"It is false and true!"

"What do you mean?"

"Call it false because they don't exist, call it true because one wrong step and you die, the effect is the same."

"The Bagua Formation is so powerful?"

"Gods and ghosts, when the world's first array of the name, legend has it that Zhuge Wuhou in the fish belly of the Pu set up a stone array, scared off the Eastern Wu Lu Xun's pursuers, that a burst of comparable to 100,000 elite troops."

"Is it really that great, and that Lu Xun is also dead center, won't he go around?"

"Why don't you go around?"

"Isn't that crap, I can't get around it?"

"Lu Xun can't go around either, by the time he does, his opponent will have long since fled, so what's the point of chasing after him?"

"So he won't dig for rocks?"

"Why didn't you just dig for rocks?"

"I didn't think of that, yeah, why don't I dig for rocks?"

Nymphet Lin snorted and whacked her husband on the side.

Just then, a fork in the road appeared ahead, five roads in all.

Without looking back, Shen Xingyue instructed, "Xiao Bai, arrange for the Yan Devil to explore the road, remember, return immediately after finding the next intersection, do not be greedy."

Xiao Bai agreed and instructed the five Mistletoe Demons to go ahead and scout the way.

The five Mistletoe Demons each chose a path and rushed in without hesitation.

About a quarter of an hour later, a Mistletoe returned, signaling that it had found the next intersection.

Lin Wan sighed with a somewhat sad expression.

It was needless to think that those four Mistletoe Demons had already been killed and died in this Eight Trigrams Formation.

Li Mu held her hand, pulled his wife, and continued to walk toward the front.

The atmosphere was a bit dull, several people were not talking, just walking, exploring, walking again, exploring again.

Time passed very quickly, after an hour, Shen Xingyue turned around and said, "Found the exit, you guys follow me!"

With that, he led the way up a stone path, and the person then disappeared.

The others hurriedly followed, and when they turned back again, the back had turned into a stone wall, with a tunnel at their feet, and a palace situated in front of them.
