Tomb Raiders in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 40

Without asking any more questions, Zhang Faqiu followed the corporal directly to the room where the soldiers were.

From a long distance, Zhang Faqiu could smell the fragrance of plants.

This smell is like the morning after the rain, after the dew has just been evaporated by the sun, the fragrance on the plants.

The door was tilted to one side, and Zhang Faqiu strode in to have a look, and he himself screamed in fright.

The soldier was actually wrapped in a huge flower, and there were tentacles on the petals, which were connected to the soldier's body, and the armor on the soldier's body had almost melted inside the petals, and the rest of the petals were also festered. It doesn't look like it.

But the strange thing is that the whole room is full of the fragrance of plants, without the slightest strange smell!

Fusu's heart trembled. Seeing the tall flower in front of him, he couldn't help but think of the record on a roll of black bamboo slips that he saw in that dazed state... the center of the Zhou Dynasty, Haojing!
That roll of black bamboo slips recorded horrific events, a heavenly divine tree, after it bloomed, the people it produced were humans...

In this situation... Zhang Faqiu couldn't explain what happened.

Zhang Faqiu took the scabbard from his waist, hurt the soldier, and stabbed it, the soldier was like a deflated balloon, and the whole body was held back limply, leaving only a pair of swords. Skins!
"Fuck! What the hell is this?" Zhang Faqiu couldn't help cursing, where did the soldier's flesh and bones go?

Everyone present was breathing coldly on their backs.

"General! Look, that flower is wilting too!" Li Changkun said hastily.

The tall flower immediately withered, Zhang Faqiu gritted his teeth, and the scabbard jumped the withered flower away, it actually grew out of the ground!
When digging the soil along the ground, you can only see a fist-sized pit with a rhizome-like thing in it, and nothing else!
Zhang Faqiu didn't give up, so he dug down the soil with the torch lighted, wanting to see if there were other roots under the soil, this weird thing couldn't appear out of thin air.

"This..." Zhang Faqiu was speechless, is this the end?
"General, it's better not to stay here anymore, it will be better if all the people gather together." Li Changkun stepped forward and said.

Zhang Faqiu thought for a while, then poked the shriveled human skin with the scabbard in his hand, and there was a crisp and crisp sound.

"What the hell!" Zhang Faqiu was stunned and speechless, and threw the scabbard in his hand on the ground: "Come on, we can't control the affairs here, go find the village chief and the dibao of Lousang Village tomorrow, and send a few people Enclose the outside, as long as you don't come in, there shouldn't be any problems."

"As ordered!"

Li Changkun retreated and returned to Liu Bei's courtyard with Zhang Faqiu.

Under the light of the fire, the ancient mulberry tree was quiet, and there was no hint of coquettishness.

"Where's my book?" Zhang Faqiu asked loudly.

A soldier said: "General, they are all piled up here, and no one has touched them."

This time, Zhang Faqiu did not read rashly. He divided the soldiers into eight groups, each with ninety individuals, making a total of four hundred people. Just push it down, each one is a hundred feet away from him, forming a circle, with his guard in the middle.

This thing is called the round sky, and it can keep all evil spirits from getting close.

But the number of people must be based on nine, or it can be a multiple of nine.

The corresponding numbers are eight, nine, ten!

This is very particular and must be a multiple.

Eight is fixed, corresponding to eight directions, that is, the place of the earth; the nine is in the numerals, which is called the limit of numbers, so it can represent the circle of the sky.

The number ten itself is not included in the category of numbers. Some people think that the number of Dayan in this legend is relative.

There are fifty in the number of Dayan, and only 49 can be recognized and controlled by human beings. In the end, there is an escaped one. When extracted, it becomes the quantitative pronoun after the number is exhausted—ten!

In the fortune-telling lottery of later generations, there were originally fifty bamboo slips in the bamboo tube, but after the successful production, the person who made the bamboo slips randomly picked out one, broke it and threw it away.

There are only 49 bamboo slips left, and these 49 bamboo slips represent the various fates of human beings, and the lost one, which represents the elusive and unrecognizable escaped one, is called the escaped one. .

Therefore, in Zhang Faqiu's circle, quantitative pronouns represent to a large extent the lost one, and this lost one cannot be controlled or recognized by human beings.

The number ten, in this circle of heaven and earth, is an elusive and incalculable ten, which becomes the hub connecting the sky and the earth.

It is clearly recorded in the funeral scriptures that the minimum requirement for such a formation is eight directions, with nine people in each direction forming a circle with a radius of ten feet, and the center of the circle is the center of the formation.

Once the formation falls, cooperate with the formula, the evil spirits will not get close, and the monsters will retreat!
When Zhang Faqiu was in later generations, he had never used this kind of formation. Firstly, he had never encountered such a vicious situation at all, and secondly, he had never deployed so many people.

It's different now, he has thousands of people under his command, as long as it's not a rebellion, Cao Cao won't bother, and he can put up any formation he wants.

Zhang Faqiu ordered the soldiers to measure the distance. There were ninety people in each pair, and thirty people surrounded a pile of firewood, presenting a plum blossom shape, representing a direction.

When the last group of people sat down, Zhang Faqiu clearly felt an invisible force in the air around him to protect him.

Zhang Faqiu stood up and fell backward on purpose, but... it was as if there was an invisible hand behind him, pushing him gently, making him regain his footing!

The formation has been completed!

There are no side effects.

"Li Changkun, go and take a look at the ancient mulberry tree at that moment to see if there are any special changes." Zhang Faqiu is the root of the formation. He can't move around and can only stay where he is. The formed gas field and magnetic field will dissipate by themselves.

It is almost impossible to arrange for the second time in a short time.

To explain this situation with the words of later generations of science is to say that all living things are in the form of magnetic fields.

Zhang Faqiu uses a specific position to stimulate the magnetic field in the human body. The magnetic field in the human body is exhausted in a short time, and it needs to recover automatically before it can continue to be stimulated and turned into a field.

Li Changkun naturally saw Zhang Faqiu's actions in his eyes, and when he was amazed, he heard Zhang Faqiu's words.

Zhang Faqiu sat on the spot, waiting for Li Changkun to come back to report.

Li Changkun went to the base of the ancient mulberry tree, looked carefully, and felt that the ancient mulberry tree hadn't changed at all, so he came back and told Zhang Faqiu.

Zhang Faqiu nodded and said, "Go and cool off."

"The general, just call me if you need anything!" Li Changkun said with a silly smile.

Looking at the back of Li Changkun leaving, Zhang Faqiu thought to himself: "Could it be that I was thinking too much, and at this moment the ancient mulberry tree has no problems at all?"

The circle of heaven and place has been set up. Within the range of the field, evil spirits cannot get close, and ghosts and gods retreat. If it was the problem of the ancient mulberry tree at that moment, then the formation field has been formed now, but the ancient mulberry tree has not changed at all. It can be explained that there is nothing wrong with this ancient mulberry tree.

Sitting on the desk, Zhang Faqiu reached out to touch his junior, but there was still no change, as if he touched his real skin.

Stretching out his hand to touch it from the inside of the inner armor, two small bronze mirrors the size of a palm appeared in Zhang Faqiu's hands, one in front and one behind, using the reflection of light, Zhang Faqiu clearly saw the hideous blue scales on his back.

"Oh, it's still there... This is not a dream!" Zhang Faqiu sighed, feeling that Zuo Ci was the biggest fool in the world, and disappeared without a word.

Now that we have arrived at Liu Bei's place, it is up to God whether we can dig a well tomorrow to find a real dragon.

A total of five people were under the curse of green scales, and now only Zhang Faqiu is alive, and the shadow of death hangs over his heart all the time.

Death itself is not scary, but waiting for death is the most terrifying thing.

Zhang Faqiu opened the bamboo slips in front of him and began to examine them.

This time, the strange feeling before did not appear, perhaps it was really the round sky formation that played a role.

The earliest record is that in the early years of the Han Dynasty, not long after Han Gaozu Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor, an ancient tree fell from the sky, accompanied by thunder and lightning.

But the strange thing is that this ancient tree was not scorched black by lightning, but full of vitality.

This is similar to what the county magistrate Pan Cheng said. At that time, some people wanted to cut down this tree, thinking it was an ominous sign, but the more they were cut down, the more this tree would grow.

Over time, this matter will be settled. After a long time, people hold this ancient mulberry tree as a sign of auspiciousness and can avoid disasters.

Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made a decree of Tweeting En, and the princes divided their families. The more they were divided, the smaller their power became. In the end, they were no different from ordinary families.

Just a few hundred years later, a member of the royal family came to settle here and built his courtyard house under this ancient mulberry tree.

Just because this is a member of the royal family, the local dibao and the village head did not dare to say anything, so they could only let it go.

However, there was one thing that caught Zhang Faqiu's attention. After the royal family built the courtyard, there was a scene of golden phoenixes and dragons flying in the sky.

This kind of scene is called the dragon and the phoenix present auspiciousness!
According to the ancient book, the flying dragon and phoenix turned into a beam of golden light, rushed to the royal family's backyard, and disappeared after sinking into the soil.

The royal family thought it was a sign of auspiciousness and good fortune from heaven, so they ordered people to dig a well in a piece of soil where the dragon and phoenix were submerged.

The clear spring was dug out that day, sweet and refreshing. What's even more miraculous is that the well water was salvaged with jade objects at a specific time, and the golden holy water could be salvaged, which could revive the dead and resurrect the dead!
