Chapter 74 Eight Arrays

The next morning was a sunny day. After eating breakfast, Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang took the subway to Panjiayuan as planned.

Even if there is no wind in the early morning of winter, it is quite cold. Most of the people who go out wear thick down jackets.

One thing after another, two weeks did not come.The previous few times I came here in the afternoon, but today I planned to go to Shui Jingxin's home to talk with Vice President Shui about cooperating with Ke Feier to study the mystery economy, so I changed it to the morning.

It was past nine o'clock when we arrived at Panjiayuan. There were not many street stalls, and not many shops were open.

I saw a 60 years old man wrapped in a military coat, carrying things down from the tricycle with one hand, and eating an egg pancake with the other.

When he was about to walk over, a picture suddenly appeared in Ou Zhou's mind.

Stone formations on the river beach, flying sand and rolling stones.

"Hey, that's weird," he stopped, turned around and walked to the military coat booth.

At that time, Jun Dayi was taking out a bundle of bamboo slips from the three-way cart.

When Ou Zhou saw the bundle of bamboo slips, his heart skipped a beat.

He silently explored the sixth floor of Wei Xin Fa in the cave, and suddenly, a vivid picture appeared in his mind: a young general in silver armor riding a white horse led a group of people into the stone formation by the river with his sword, and in an instant In the meantime, sand and rocks were flying in the stone formation, and the sky was dark and the ground was dark.

Brandishing a sword, the young general led the army and horses to rush left and right, but they couldn't get out.Seeing the soldiers continue to die tragically, he was helpless.Just when he was discouraged and was about to draw his sword and kill himself.

A white-haired old man leaning on a cane came from the front and shouted: "General, don't worry, you can come with me."

The young general put down his sword and followed the old man with his half-damaged army horse. After several turns, he finally walked out of the stone formation.

Looking back, the sky is clear and the sun is clear inside and outside the stone formation. It is nonsense that there has ever been flying sand and rocks, and the sky is dark and dark.

The young general was amazed, and looked back at his soldiers and horses, only less than half of them were left, and all of them had bruised noses, swollen faces, missing arms and broken legs.

The young general couldn't help being amazed, and bowed to salute: "Dare to ask the old man, who built this stone formation?"

The old man replied: "The name of this array is Eight Arrays, and it was set up by my son-in-law Zhuge Kongming. It was said that day that a general from Eastern Wu would enter this array by mistake, so there is no need to lead him out."

The young general was horrified: "It turns out that Kong Ming had already made arrangements. Such an exquisite formation has never been heard of before, and I can't do it."

The old man smiled and said: "This formation evolved from the Eight Diagrams formation. There are eight formations in total, namely, the sky-covering formation, the earth-carrying formation, the wind-raising formation, the cloud-hanging formation, the dragon-flying formation, the tiger-wing formation, the bird-flying formation, and the snake formation." Pan formation. The formation changes, unpredictable. I saw you enter through the gate of death, so I know you don't know the formation method, so I came to rescue you."

The young general was ashamed and asked: "The old man is Kong Ming's father-in-law, why did you rescue Lu?"

"God has the virtue of being good at life, and I can't bear to see you die here."

"Thank you for your kindness, old man. Lu will never invade Shu in his lifetime." After speaking, the young general led the remnants of the defeated generals to flee in a hurry.

Ou Zhou put away the exercises, tugged Jiang Yang lightly, and asked Jun Dayi: "Master, can you sell this bundle of bamboo slips to me?"

The military overcoat stuffed the last bite of the omelette into his mouth, chewed it twice, stretched his neck and swallowed it.Said: "Okay, open the door to benefit the market, I will give you a [-]% discount, [-] yuan will be taken away."

Without saying a word, Ou Zhou paid the money, asked for a cloth bag from the military coat, put it in, and dragged Jiang Yang away.

After leaving Panjiayuan and coming to a deserted place, he said joyfully, "Brother, do you feel it?" He patted the bundle of bamboo slips and asked.

Jiang Yang said: "I only know that they are bamboo slips from the Three Kingdoms period."

"Brother, is this the long-lost Eight Formation Diagram?"

"Oh, are you sure?" Jiang Yang asked in surprise.

"Absolutely." Ou Zhou said confidently.

"It has been lost for more than a thousand years, why is it only appearing now?"

"It's probably God's will! Usually we come here in the afternoon, but today we came early in the morning."

"God's will, it's really miraculous." Jiang Yang sighed.

"Senior brother, I picked up a big leak today, let's go back!" Ou Zhou asked with a smile.

"Return, why don't you return. I'm afraid only the two of us can encounter this kind of thing that can be met but not sought after."

The two brothers and sisters took the subway and returned to the small building.

As soon as he entered the house, Ou Zhou took off his winter clothes and said with a smile: "If Lu Xun hadn't been led by Huang Chengyan, he would have been buried in the stone formation. He burned the company battalion with 73 soldiers and horses and destroyed [-] Shu troops, but he almost died in the stone formation. How miraculous the Eight Arrays are."

"That's right, Kong Ming's ingenious plan made Lu Xun so scared that he never dared to invade Shu again. He's really a god."

"It's a pity that the geniuses of the generation of Kong and Ming could not continue the Han Dynasty. God's will is so, how can manpower reverse it."

"It is said that the map of the Eight Arrays was located on the bank of the Nanjiang River in Fengjie County, Baidi City, and it is said to be in Xinfan."

"Fengjie was called Yufu County during the Three Kingdoms period, and it was renamed Fengjie in the Tang Dynasty."

"For this reason, Du Shisheng has a poem praising it: the merits cover the three parts of the country, and the name is the Eight Arrays. The river flows and the stone does not turn, and the regret is lost and swallowed Wu."

"Junior Brother, what are you going to do with this bundle of bamboo slips?"

"No one will believe it. This is the famous Eight Formation Map. Anyway, there is nothing to do here. Why don't we open it and have a look? What's the secret?"

"Alright." Jiang Yang said with a smile.

Ou Zhou took out the bamboo slips, placed them on the table and opened them one by one.Behind the bamboo slips is a pair of ancient sheepskin scrolls. Although it is mottled, piles of stones can be vaguely discerned.

Most of the characters on the bamboo slips are small seal characters, which are difficult to understand.

The two looked at it for a long time, but didn't ask for a deep understanding.

Ou Zhou said: "Why don't we rub the seal characters on the bamboo slips and give them to the professors of the history department to interpret them separately, and then summarize them one by one."

"This method is very good, let's do it like this." Jiang Yang said with a smile.

For half the morning, the two brothers and sisters carefully rubbed the handwriting on the bamboo slips one by one.Some handwriting is old and not very clear, so the two of them carefully scrutinized for perfection.

Some handwritings were severely peeled off, and only dots and strokes remained, so they left them blank first.

After finishing this work, it was already one o'clock.The brothers went outside to fill their stomachs, and when they came back, they numbered the rubbings and put the bundle of bamboo slips and ancient sheepskin scrolls in the safe.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, I bought a fruit basket and went to Shui Jingxin's home.

Vice President Shui was already waiting there, and when he saw the two of them coming in and sitting down, he smiled and said, "You two go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so tell me, what kind of trouble do you encounter?"

Shui Jingxin put a glass of water in front of the two of them, and then sat aside with her mother as the audience.

Jiang Yang then explained Ke Feier's cooperation in detail.

Vice President Shui frowned and asked after listening, "The contract hasn't been signed yet?"

"No. We want to ask Vice President Shui for an idea," Jiang Yang said.

"With such a complicated background, Ke Feier offered to fully support Xuan Jijing's research work. He must have a full understanding of this sutra. What I don't understand is how much Ke Feier knows about Xuan Jijing , I don’t know as much as I do, why does she not only provide scientific research funding, but also create a scientific research team?”

"We were also very surprised at this point at first," Jiang Yang said, "but Ke Feier's logic is that since the two of us can acquire the Sun Heart Sutra and the Cave and Nether Exploration Micro-Mind Technique through soul granting dreams, we can practice miraculous martial arts. Then the content contained in Xuanjijing must be true. They obviously have great curiosity about our ancient culture, and I believe they will definitely get huge benefits from it."

"Typical Western thinking, they like to do things by feeling. Easterners do things by logic. If logic doesn't make sense, everything can't be done."

"According to Vice President Shui's wishes, should we sign the contract or not?"

"Let's procrastinate first. I'll meet with the school committee later and explain the situation." Vice President Shui said ambiguously.

"In that case, let's wait."

"By the way, in case the school disagrees with this matter. Before signing the contract with Ke Feier, I need to read the text of the contract." Vice President Shui added.

"No problem at all," Jiang Yang said.

Ou Zhou understood what Vice Principal Shui meant, but in fact he did not agree to cooperate with Ke Feier.The reason why I said that was just to fight for it again from the school.

Thinking of this, Ou Zhou said: "Actually, we can study Xuanji by ourselves. As for research funding, we can also find our own way. The only thing that is lacking is the research team."

Vice President Shui raised his expression, and asked: "Xuan Jijing's research work is clueless, and the possibility of producing results is very slim. Therefore, the research funding will be an astronomical figure. How do you raise this cost?"

Ou Zhou took a look at Jiang Yang and said, "We have the ability to detect and identify those unborn treasures. To tell the truth, the vice principal said that we went to Panjiayuan early in the morning today, and unexpectedly got the eighth son of Marquis Wu. A few days ago, we successively obtained the Queen's Pigeon Blood Stone and the famous Xuande Furnace. Although people will definitely doubt the authenticity of the Pigeon Blood Stone and the Eight Arrays, we can still use the cave to explore The micro-heart method keeps digging out treasures recognized by people."

"After realizing the treasure, we can continuously raise research funds." Jiang Yang added.

Vice-principal Shui said in amazement: "Not to mention the pigeon blood stone, the Wuhou Bazhen map can be confirmed through research. Once the situation is true, not only the scientific research funding is expected, but even your magical method of exploring the micro-mind will be academically rewarded." widely recognized by the industry.”

"In this case, there is really no need for us to sign a contract with Ke Feier." Jiang Yang said.

"Furthermore, I can mobilize my father to borrow part of his auction proceeds to conduct research on Xuanji economics first."

"In this way, the only thing missing is a strong scientific research team." Jiang Yang repeated.

"I'll figure out how to deal with the scientific research team." Vice President Shui said excitedly.

"Vice-Principal Shui, why don't we hand over the bundle of bamboo slips and ancient sheepskin scrolls to the History Department for experts to study and confirm?" Jiang Yang tentatively asked.

"This is the best way. I will talk about this matter at the school committee meeting on Monday the day after tomorrow. Before the school committee, you should hand in the Bamboo Slips of the Eight Arrays. After the school committee approves it, organize the professors of the history department to start research work. "

"Okay, Vice President Shui."

"If it's really the map of Marquis Wu's eight formations, the future research work of the two of you may be smooth sailing."

"Why did Vice President Shui make such remarks?"

"You are the ones who discovered the Eight Array Diagrams by using the method of cave exploration and micro-mind. The aura of celebrity will greatly boost the research work."

"That's it. Vice President Shui, if you're all right, we'll see you the day after tomorrow." Jiang Yang said goodbye.

Vice President Shui got up and sent them to the door of the house.

Shui Jingxin sent them to the gate one after another.

On the way back, Jiang Yang received a call from Ke Feier, saying that he was going to fight Ou Zhou in the grove at ten o'clock in the evening.

Jiang Yang listened to the phone, focused on Ou Zhou, and motioned for him to listen to the phone.

Ou Zhou leaned next to Jiang Yang and listened to Ke Fei'er's eloquent challenge over there.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yang said with a smile: "This Ke Feier is really interesting, it's only been one night, and his skin is itchy."

Ou Zhou said: "It is very likely that Ke Feier made a new breakthrough last night, so he dared to challenge."

"That's right. In the last fight, she suffered such a serious internal injury, and she still dared to provoke her on the second night. It can be seen that her martial arts methods also belong to the type that the more injured she is, the more she can break through."

"With such an opponent, it's hard to break through in martial arts. Hehe, but I don't know, what kind of miraculous performance will Kefeier have this time?"

"She learned about your acupuncture points and palm splitting last night. From this, it can be inferred that she has at least a comparable skill, otherwise she wouldn't bring herself to be humiliated." Jiang Yang analyzed with reason.

"It must be like this." Ou Zhou said, pointing to go, but when he heard the chi chi sound, he saw a sparrow on the tree fall in response.

Jiang Yang couldn't help clapping his hands and praised: "Junior Brother, you have reached the point where you can do whatever you want. The distance is at least ten meters away."

"Alright, let her taste the feeling of being acupunctured remotely at night!" Ou Zhou laughed.
