Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 1189 The Ball
Ding Ermiao, who was determined to break through, held the candle, strode forward, and stepped into the formation gate.

But vaguely, Ding Ermiao also realized something was wrong.Wu Zhanzhan said so cautiously just now, then there must be something profound about this formation.Otherwise, as Maoshan's basic formation, how could it trap a Maoshan master like Wu Zhanzhan?

Unfortunately, when Ding Ermiao realized this, it was already too late.

A scream could be heard coming from behind, but it was the sound of the sword spirit fruit occupying the wall.

"Guo Zhanbi, what's wrong with you?" Ding Ermiao turned around quickly and asked.

"Master, the restrictions in the formation are so strong that I can't go in. I can only wait for you outside..." Guo Zhanbi's voice gradually drifted away.

Ding Ermiao took a breath of cold air. She took the Sword Spirit Fruit and occupied the wall. She could go to the netherworld. Unexpectedly, she was isolated from the Sanmao Palace Rockery Formation!

In the midst of shock, a slight sound of wind came from all directions, and then roared loudly, causing the candlelight to flicker.

Ding Ermiao turned around and was even more shocked when he saw that the stalagmite on the left facing him was as flat as a mirror.My own shadow shines in it, every detail is revealed!
Are the two sides of a stalagmite different?This was the first reaction in Ding Ermiao's heart, so he took a step forward diagonally from Kan Palace to Gen Palace, then entered Zhen Palace and headed towards the Middle Palace, wanting to go behind the stalagmite to take a look.

Who knew that it would be better not to move, but with this movement, the entire formation was affected, and all the stalagmites seemed to be running in disorder. Facing him were the gray-white stalactites that he had seen before, and also the mirror stone walls.

In a daze, Ding Ermiao felt that the surroundings were dark, with rolling hills and high peaks reaching into the sky. It seemed that he was surrounded by mountains, with evil rocks facing each other and strange winds blowing around!

"This is not an ordinary Sanmao Palace rockery formation, otherwise how could it be so powerful?" Ding Ermiao was horrified and subconsciously wanted to pull out the corpse-beating whip to break the formation.

But Ding Ermiao later realized that this was the formation left by his ancestor. If he wanted to break the formation, he could only follow the rules of the formation and could not destroy it by force.If he were to destroy all these stalagmites with a whip regardless of length, then he would be the sinner of Maoshan.

So Ding Ermiao calmed down and looked left and right, looking for a path in the formation.

The foundation of the Sanmao Palace Rockery Formation is also the Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation.However, Master Sanmao hid any six of the nine palaces, leaving only three palaces to operate in conjunction with the Bagua array.

Because the sixth palace was hidden at will, the remaining three palaces were also random, which made the formation very complicated and confusing.

You are given nine numbers and asked to choose three at random. Can you choose them?By the time you make the choice, a lifetime will probably pass, and the beauties will grow old and the heroes will grow old.

But as Maoshan disciples, Ding Ermiao and Wu Zhanzhan both knew this formation.

Because of the orientation of the Ninth Palace, although the Sixth Palace is hidden, in fact, it still exists in the formation.The Gate of the Formation is the Qian Palace, which is fixed. By grasping the direction of the Qian Palace and then guessing other directions, you can gain a complete picture.

The direction I entered the formation just now was Qian Palace. According to common sense, I should have walked through Kan Palace, passed Gen Palace, then turned around Zhen Palace and entered the Zhong Palace, then crossed Xun Palace to Li Palace, passed Kun Palace, and exited Dui Palace.But Ding Ermiao walked around and realized that this direction was completely wrong!

It didn't matter if he didn't enter the middle palace. What was scary was that Ding Ermiao discovered that the formation suddenly expanded countless times!
Looking around, there are so many stalagmites that you can't see the end at a glance, and you can't count them at all.

Ding Ermiao stood among the stalagmites, feeling infinitely small.Just like a grain of sand thrown into the desert; a drop of water falling into the Pacific; a person in a sea of ​​millions of people...

"No, no..." Ding Ermiao looked around, sweating like rain.

There are stalagmites in front and behind you, and when you look up, there are also bamboo shoots on the roof of the cave.Moreover, those inverted stalagmites also form a Sanmao Palace rockery array, which will also keep moving according to its own footsteps.

Stop, the formation will stop running, and the surroundings will be quiet.

"Ding dong..."

"Tick tock..."

"Snapped……"

On the roof of the cave, there is clear water seeping out, dripping down the tips of the inverted stalagmites, and hitting the shallow puddles on the ground, making various different sounds.

"There's something wrong with this sound, it's ups and downs, it seems..., what kind of music is it?" Ding Ermiao listened attentively for a while, but couldn't make out any clues.

Looking around again, Ding Ermiao suddenly thought and discovered a truth!
What he found himself in was not a plane formation, but a three-dimensional circular formation.It's just because the angle is different, so I didn't notice it when I entered the formation.

This space actually forms a sphere, and I am inside the sphere.The inner wall of the ball is covered with stalagmites, forming a closed Sanmao Palace rockery array.

Ding Ermiao became more and more frightened as he watched. How could he get out of such a closed formation?
Then he suddenly thought, since the formation is closed, can he reach the top of his head?Is it possible to walk around the inner wall of this sphere and reach any point?
As soon as the thought came to him, Ding Ermiao did not hesitate. He took out a piece of red thread from his backpack and tied it to the top of a stalagmite beside him as a mark.Feeling that the red line was not conspicuous enough, Ding Ermiao tied another copper coin on it.

Then Ding Ermiao took action again, leaping forward with the Nine Palace Steps under her feet.But this time, Ding Ermiao walked very slowly and remembered every direction he walked.

After repeating Jiugongbu three times, Ding Ermiao stopped and looked for the stalagmite he marked just now.

When he raised his head, he saw a copper coin hanging dangling above his head!
"How could this happen?" Ding Ermiao was horrified and amused at the same time.

From this point of view, this closed formation is an independent gravity system.Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to move to any point on the inner wall of the sphere at will.

If the place you marked just now is the bottom of the ball, then you are now standing on the top of the ball with your head down!

"Ding dong..."

"Tick tock..."

"Snapped……"

The clear water above is still dripping, making a tinkling sound in an orderly manner.

"The formation cycle is endless, where is the key point to break the formation?" Ding Ermiao was confused and in a daze.

Suddenly there was a slight pain in my hand, and I realized that the candle was about to burn to the end and was only about an inch long.

No flashlight was brought in, so this candle was the only source of light.

"Get out quickly, if you don't get out, the candle will go out, and you may be trapped to death!" Ding Ermiao was even more shocked. He didn't dare to stay for a long time, and walked backwards step by step along the direction he had just walked.

After taking a step, Ding Ermiao has to stop, make sure the sequence of steps is correct, and then take a step back.

He didn't dare to turn around, fearing that if he turned around, the operation of the formation would change and he would be unable to get out for the rest of his life.
