Chapter 1407: Wisdom Breaking the Yin-Yang Formation
I took a moment to look around and saw that the extremely huge stone door swayed slightly, and the relief on the door also changed accordingly.
All the floating clouds on the originally lifelike island were gone, replaced by a face.
An extremely weird face!
The left half is white, with kind facial features and a slight smile; the right half is black, full of anger, with a bloody mouth and fangs.
I didn't have time to think about what this meant, so I asked the man in a T-shirt standing in front of the door loudly: "Is the Five Elements Lock broken?"
The man in the T-shirt stood in front of the door, touching his chin with one hand. He seemed to be thinking about something in a difficult way and did not answer me.
I was about to ask again, but the second wave of blood corpse offensive was approaching again.
Master Feng folded his fan and controlled the fireballs to kill them one after another. I stood beside him with my double swords in hand. Anyone who avoided the fireballs and rushed forward would let them taste the power of the double swords to kill ghosts and gods!
The blood corpse is indeed the most ferocious type of zombies, but after all, the transformation time of the corpse is not long, and its own strength is not considered strong. Although there are many in number, they cannot cause any substantial harm to us.
With the cooperation of Master Feng and I, we killed more than 30 of them in just ten minutes! But the bloody corpses still rushed towards them desperately, one after another.
Ding!
Suddenly, an extremely clear copper bell sounded from nowhere.
The group of bloody corpses seemed to have heard some order, and immediately turned their heads and scattered away. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace, leaving only a piece of burnt black debris on the blood-red water.
The two of us stared at the water for a long time. Master Feng turned back the small fireball and checked it carefully. When he saw that there were indeed no blood corpses around, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
We both looked back and saw the man in the T-shirt was still standing in front of the gate, thinking hard about something.
I walked forward with some doubts, took a look, and immediately understood why he was troubled!
The first Five Elements Gate has been cracked open by him, but the second lock that follows is the Yin-Yang Maze.
There are ninety-nine and eighty-one small grids horizontally and vertically. The color of each small grid is either black or white. They complement each other and form a maze of yin and yang.
If you want to break this formation, you must combine the heavenly stems at this moment, the earthly branches here, and the birth date of the person who breaks the formation. Moreover, we have to enter through the gate of life, go around the threshold, avoid the gate of death, and finally push through the gate of scenery to exit from the Kun position...
There are no less than tens of thousands of variations, and if you make one wrong move, you will lose everything!
What's even more troublesome is that the black and white faces on the giant door keep changing their left and right positions every once in a while. As the human face changes, the yin and yang maze below also completely changes at the same time.
In other words, there are only a few minutes left for us to solve the puzzle.
Any yinwu merchant is familiar with this thing, but it is not that easy to figure it out in one step. Besides, this maze is still changing. In such a hurry, it is impossible to solve it perfectly!
Even so, we all know that this is the only way to enter the modron. If we cannot solve the maze, we will be blocked from the door, and all previous efforts will be in vain!
The three of us said nothing, staring closely at the maze, trying to find flaws in it.
"On the first day of junior high school, what was the order to crack the first Five Elements Lock just now?" Master Feng asked suddenly, twirling his fiery red beard.
"Gold, water, wood, fire and earth." The man in the T-shirt said without looking back, his eyes still staring at the maze grid.
"Oh?" Master Feng suddenly opened his eyes: "In this case, I am afraid that this gate has lost its power of change long ago. In other words, the method of cracking this gate is different from the people of Longquan Villa who are walking in front. Exactly the same!”
"How do you know?" The man in the T-shirt and I asked strangely.
"You still remember that there was a bloody fingerprint on the first mechanism, right?" Master Feng explained unhurriedly: "They have broken the access control and walked in. But the mechanism has returned to its original state, and we are still hurt. Have to crack it again."
"It stands to reason that such a dense machine formation will never leave any trace once it is restored..."
"Also, when I was dealing with the blood corpse just now, I suddenly remembered that there is no root or source in this passage. Even if the blood water is weird and will not dry up, it will never cycle over and over again. There must be some formation there. It drives the water to keep moving.”
"Metal is the one who generates water. The five elements are locked together with metal as the first and mutual generation as the formation. I figured this step out and was about to remind you, but I can see that you have already opened it, so I didn't say anything more."
"Since the five-element lock on the access control has not changed, and the bloody fingerprints have not been erased after restoration, there is only one possibility left, that is, most of the mechanism has been damaged. In other words, the method of cracking the mechanism now is ahead of the curve. Several people are exactly the same.”
"Oh, so that's it!" I also remembered something and asked loudly: "Where is the fingerprint?"
"Here." The man in the T-shirt held up the scabbard and clicked on the upper left corner of the nine-square grid. Then he seemed to be inspired by something and turned his head suddenly: "You mean..."
"Yes!" I nodded: "The handprint is extremely huge and so high. It is obviously left by the Chou Emperor!"
"Although this passage is very wide, it is difficult for the Chou Emperor to pass through it. But why did he suddenly grow bigger here and slap the door hard? And with Mr. Dong present, he should not be stupid. Do you want to smash this stone door?"
"Yes!" The man in the T-shirt also suddenly realized: "I remember that the fingerprint did not leave the mark of the index finger."
"Then that means——"
"The position pointed by the index finger is the first step!" We both shouted in unison.
Since the formation will not change and the first step has been chosen, the rest will be much simpler.
The three of us each watched three lines, and watched closely every time the yin and yang faces changed, which small grid remained unchanged.
All changes are illusions, and only the correct path will not make any changes.
After several attempts, the three of us locked onto the target.
After connecting with the first step, it happens to be the route to open the mechanism!
The man in the T-shirt immediately drew out the Eight-Handed Han Sword and jumped up, rushing on the Yin-Yang Maze.
Boom, boom!
The door made a loud rumbling sound, and Yin Yang Face and the maze grid all shrank in.
But the door did not open, but with a rumbling vibration, five holes as thick as fists were revealed.
