Chapter 121 In the Dark
In the cold and damp underground waterway, Fan Jiannan sat on the bow of the boat with his eyes closed and meditated.

Cang Yunxiao sat in the cabin and waited quietly. He knew that Fan Jiannan was using the Dunjia technique to calculate the position, but he didn't know how long it would take.Fan Jiannan has been sitting like this for more than five minutes.

After waiting for a while, Fan Jiannan finally opened his eyes.

"Xiao Fan, what's the matter?" Cang Yunxiao couldn't help but ask.

"It's weird, I can't determine the direction anymore. Normally, I am very sensitive to the direction. No matter where I am, I can directly judge the direction. Like a homing pigeon, it is extremely sensitive to changes in the magnetic field. There is a natural But now..." Fan Jiannan said in a low voice, "I feel that these criss-crossing waterways are like a huge magic circle, completely suppressing my judgment."

"Then what should we do?" Cang Yunxiao frowned.

Fan Jiannan sighed and said, "No matter what kind of magic circle there are two most basic conditions, time and space. The stems and branches represent time, and the hexagrams represent directions. Now that we lose our directions, we have lost part of our ability."

"I understand the truth, but if you say that, isn't there nothing we can do?" Cang Yunxiao said.

"There should be a way, otherwise the ancients would not be able to enter. But it must be a method we can't imagine. After all, the ancient techniques are different from the ones we use now." Fan Jiannan pondered.

"That's right, the ancient spells have been around for a long time, and some of them have been completely lost, and the ones that have been handed down have been greatly improved by successive generations of spells. So some things are difficult for us to understand." Cang Yunxiao frowned.

"But there are some principles that never change." Fan Jiannan pondered for a while and said, "Do you know the origin of the Dunjia technique?"

"The meaning of Qimen Dunjia is composed of three concepts: Qi, door and Dunjia. Qi is Yi, C, Ding three strange; doors are Xiu, Sheng, Huo, Du, Jing, Jing, Shi, and Kai eight doors.

To escape means to hide, and Jia refers to Liujia, that is, Jiazi, Jiaxu, Jiashen, Jiawu, Jiachen, and Jiayin.Because Jia is the most noble among the ten stems, it hides but does not appear, hiding under the six appearances.That's why it's called Dunjia. "

Cang Yunxiao's knowledge of mountain techniques is extremely extensive, and he also has a certain understanding of Qimen Dunjia.His explanation of Dunjia is basically correct.

Fan Jiannan shook his head, "You are quite right, but in fact, in the more distant ages, the armor in the armor-tuning technique did not escape. Dunjia is not an armor, but a armor."

"You mean to use Liujia?" Cang Yunxiao shook his head and said, "This is simply unheard of. The armor armor technique uses Liujia. Is this still the armor escape technique?"

Fan Jiannan shook his head, "Dunjiashu was not called at that time, its name was - Dragon Armor God Chapter. It is an even more ancient magic law. It does not need directions, because it uses Liujia to represent Liuhe. , back, left, right, up, down, six directions."

"Dragon Armor Divine Seal?! This only existed in ancient mythology, how could there be such a thing?" Cang Yunxiao said in shock.

"Maybe it's not just a myth." Fan Jiannan slowly took out the ancient plate from his arms, "I can try it, but I'm not sure. After all, this algorithm is too special and there are too many unknown conditions. If you want to do it To make an accurate judgment, the amount of calculation is quite large.”

"What if there is this?" Cang Yunxiao took out a laptop from the equipment he carried with him.

Fan Jiannan's eyes lit up, "The three-proof laptop is still a military product, where did you get it?"

"Although I live in the mountains, I'm not a bumpkin." Cang Yunxiao said coldly.

"This thing is useless to me. No matter how fast manual input is, it's not as fast as my brain." Fan Jiannan took it over and said, "Although I can't use it to calculate, but I can record some relevant data, thank you."

Fan Jiannan turned on the laptop, frowning and thinking, while tapping the keyboard on the computer rapidly.A series of numbers are constantly appearing on the screen.

Cang Yunxiao was a little stunned seeing this, he never thought that someone could do fortune-telling like this.It is Fan Jiannan's personal creation to convert traditional hexagrams into pure mathematical and logical operations, and then integrate and analyze the obtained data.Although whimsical, it is undeniable that it has always been quite practical.

After a full hour, Fan Jiannan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's basically done. Just arrange the data in order and remove the impossible ones. Keep the most certain ones and arrange them according to the rules. It should be can find the way."

Fan Jiannan turned the ancient disk, and the six-story ancient disk rotated with his gestures, and finally fixed at a specific position.

"I've figured it out, row forward first, turn left when you pass the sixth fork, and then move forward..." Fan Jiannan whispered.

"Okay, I will mark every intersection at any time." Cang Yunxiao nodded.

"Swipe slowly. I have consumed too much magic power, and after a lot of mental calculations, I have a headache now. This damn ancient technique is really not that easy." Fan Jiannan frowned.His complexion was very bad, the consumption of a lot of mana, and the fatigue of his brain made him a little dizzy, and he even felt nauseous.

Cang Yunxiao rowed forward according to his instructions, leaving special marks every time he crossed a fork in the road.

Turning several side roads in a row, they found that the space at this moment has become more open.But the width of the waterway has not changed, but a stone step has appeared on the other side of the waterway, and it seems that you can walk forward along the stone step.

"What should we do now?" Cang Yunxiao frowned.

"It seems that my calculation is correct. Don't worry, tie the boat. Go up first, and we will walk along the stone steps." Fan Jiannan thought for a while, "The secret is on the side of the ancient city. Pass through. So the secret place can definitely be along this stone step, maybe we can have a reverse underground tunnel along the stone step, passing under these densely packed waterways."

"If this is the case, then the ancient who designed this ancient city is really a remarkable expert." Cang Yunxiao said with emotion.

"Well, Yancheng is an ancient garrison city. So the person who designed all this must be an ancient formation master." Fan Jiannan said, "And it is likely to be a senior of the Wushu people, otherwise the Wushu people would not be able to put the secret The location of the institute is set in this place."

The two found a place to tie the boat beside the stone steps. Cang Yunxiao took a closer look at the place where the boat was tied. It was a metal ring fixed on the side of the stone steps.It should have been thicker than it is now, but now it has become much smaller due to long-term corrosion.

He scratched the metal ring with a dagger, and the metal ring under the light gave off a gleam of color. "This is made of bronze..." he said slowly.

"Yes, the typical style of the Western Zhou Dynasty. So my judgment should be correct. The stone steps we walk may be the ones walked by ancient magicians." Fan Jiannan nodded.

The two packed up their equipment and continued on their way.The stone steps lead to the same platform, and the platform may not be accurate enough, but in fact it is like a road paved with stone slabs, continuing to the distance.On one side is an icy waterway, and on the other side is a solid stone wall.

There seemed to be some moss on the road, and both of them felt a little slippery under their feet.

Suddenly, the hand-held searchlights of the two people flashed, and then quickly dimmed.

"out of battery?"

"It's absolutely impossible, I charged enough electricity beforehand." Cang Yunxiao said in a low voice.

The darkness surrounded Fan Jiannan and Cang Yunxiao like water.In the darkness, Fan Jiannan could clearly hear Cang Yunxiao's breathing.His breathing is steady and long, this is a person who has practiced inner martial arts, it is easy to distinguish from his breathing.

"Don't move around, be careful of falling into the water. Open the backpack and see if there is any spare lighting equipment." Fan Jiannan calmly said, but there was a trace of suspicion in his heart. Is my searchlight out of power at the same time?
He quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket, trying to see the surrounding situation clearly with the light from the mobile phone.But what surprised him even more was that the phone didn't emit any light either.There seems to be a mysterious force devouring these modern equipments on this strange stone steps.

"Crack" There was a faint fire in the darkness, and Fan Jiannan was holding a lighter in his hand.He looked at Cang Yunxiao and smiled. "Smoking is a bad habit, especially for people who practice martial arts like you. But there is also an advantage, that is, people who smoke always carry a lighter with them."

Cang Yunxiao shook the searchlight in his hand at him, "It seems to be a problem with the power supply."

"Do you have a spare?" Fan Jiannan frowned, and said suddenly, "Don't take it out if you have any. This place seems a bit strange, and it has some bad effects on electronic equipment. My mobile phone seems to have lost power."

"How could this be?" Cang Yunxiao frowned.

As soon as the fire dimmed, the two of them were immersed in the darkness again.It is obviously impossible to continue exploring with a lighter.

"I don't know why. In fact, even experts can't judge the behavior of many ancient people. Maybe this place is full of some kind of weird electromagnetic interference." Fan Jiannan whispered.

"Powerful enough to interfere with electronic equipment?" Cang Yunxiao sneered, "Could it be that you read too many science fiction novels, do you think this is possible?"

"The ancients may not, but don't forget, there is another person." Fan Jiannan said calmly. "Wei Rushan must also be looking for this entrance, not to mention there is Kikube Kisho behind him. RB people are very famous in their electronic field."

"You mean they're trying to interfere with us? But how did they know we'd be here?" Cang Yunxiao whispered, "It's not logical."

"Maybe they didn't want to interfere with our search for the entrance, but they wanted to interfere with other things. For example, causing a large-scale power outage in this area, such as using electromagnetic interference to affect GPS satellite positioning, etc." Fan Jiannan said calmly. "The entire Yancheng area has a hexagram like the Dishui Master hexagram, which means that water is hidden underground. Wei Rushan, who is skilled in ventilation and water, must know this pattern, so he caused a large-scale power outage. Because electricity belongs to fire among the five elements, He wants to eliminate the influence of fire to overcome wood as much as possible, so as to achieve the spell pattern of using water to grow wood."

"Using water to grow wood? That's right! The vegetation around the ruins of Yancheng is rich. Although he has given up competing with us for the outer formation, he still wants to control this area before us so as to take the initiative in terms of magic. If he wants to To do it, it will take a considerable period of power outage." Cang Yunxiao said in surprise.

"Ordinary line damage can't achieve this effect, so he simply came here once. Using some kind of powerful electromagnetic interference, it destroyed all the electronic equipment in this area. In this way, the line needs to be completely overhauled, and most of the power consumption The equipment also needs to be replaced. For quite a period of time, there will be a complete power outage here." Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "With the strength of his connections that have been hidden for many years, and the assistance of Onmyoji, it is indeed very possible to cause such an accident."

"What should we do now? Let's get out first and then make plans?" Cang Yunxiao said in a low voice.

"No, it's easy to run into them when you go out, but it will increase the danger. Don't use the searchlight for a short time. Didn't you bring the light stick? Take it out and use it first." Fan Jiannan whispered.

The fluorescent stick is specially made, as long as it is bent, it can produce light.Cang Yunxiao prepared a lot this time, originally planning to use it for underwater lighting.Now it comes in handy.Although this fluorescent stick is not as good as a portable searchlight, it can still be used as temporary lighting.

Under the cold fluorescent light, the two continued on the stone road.
