Chapter 405 Seven Stars vs Seven Wars

The picture presented to Chen Ziyang at this time had appeared in his dreams countless times. The arrangement of the eight coffins was exactly the same as that described by Chen Ziyang's grandfather Chen Benyi in "Civil Engineering Collection". The stone pillar that may contain mercury in the center of the eight coffins is missing.

Seeing these eight coffins, Liu Cong was also shocked. After all, he knew about the Qishang Mausoleum Guard Formation in Zhang Taixu's tomb in Shandong, so when he saw the eight stone coffins in front of him, Liu Cong I also understand what the team will face.

Although the area of ​​this space is large, it is much smaller than the hall where everyone stayed overnight. There are still some braziers around this space, and there are some ointment and broken pieces soaked in the ointment With cloth strips, Liu Cong asked people to stick to the side wall of the room and carefully light up all these braziers, so as to better check the situation of the eight coffins.

The firelight illuminated the room, and under the reflection of the firelight, the eight pale stone coffins looked even more hideous.Guo Huaxing and Zhang Linfu stared at the eight coffins with dignified faces. Chen Ziyang knew that it was very likely that these two people had heard about Qishang protecting the mausoleum more or less before.

But if you want to say that the person who is most familiar with the Qishang Mausoleum Guarding Formation is Liu Cong.Because when Zhang Taixu's tomb was dug for the second time, Liu Cong participated in that operation, and he was the one who managed to restore the contents of the pamphlet. After all, Liu Cong had seen the eight coffins with his own eyes. I have personally seen the Qishang Mausoleum Guard Formation.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang turned his head to look at Liu Cong who was beside him.After staring at the eight coffins for a long time, Liu Cong said to himself, "Sure enough, there is the formation of the Seven Wars to protect the mausoleum here."

"Sure enough? Liu Cong, what do you mean by that? Did you all know that you would encounter the Qishang Mausoleum Guardian Formation here?"

"I didn't estimate it, but Mr. Chen estimated it. In fact, it is very reasonable to think about it. It is impossible for Zhang Taixu's mausoleum to have a seven-shang mausoleum protection array. Zhang Taixu It's Maoshan Alchemist, with his skills, he shouldn't be able to arrange such a powerful formation.

However, there is indeed the Qishang Mausoleum Protection Formation in his tomb, and there is only one possibility that can explain it, that is, Zhang Taixu has come into contact with the Qishang Mausoleum Protection Formation before, or he has seen related classics.

But we all know that he has entered the Taoist holy land, so we speculated before that it is very likely that Zhang Taixu is the Qishang Mausoleum Guard Formation that he encountered in the Taoist holy land, so the eight coffins in front of him are placed here. nothing strange anymore.

Both Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian have entered the holy land of Taoism, and their tombs are also unusual.Although the scale of Zhang Taixu's tomb is very small, the formation of the seven sages protecting the mausoleum inside is not to be underestimated. In fact, it is also the formation. It was that formation that made old man Chen and his father suffer a lot.

Wang Dingqian's tomb was even more powerful. The Dragon Digging Association dispatched hundreds of people, and as a result, they lost soldiers and generals, and their vitality was greatly injured.

Thinking about it now, maybe these two people got some chance from the Taoist holy land. If I guessed correctly, it is very likely that what Dilong met in Wang Dingqian's tomb back then was the seals we met before Zombies who have suffocated the heaven and earth. "

"Zombies? Why are you so sure? Even if what you said earlier makes sense, how can you be sure that the organs in Wang Dinggan's tomb are zombies?"

"There are two reasons. If the mechanism in Wang Dingqian's tomb is also the Seven-Shang Mausoleum Protection Formation, the Dragon Digging Society will not lose so many people. It only needs to replace the spirits in the coffin with seven people. Then this formation It will be self-defeating.

The second reason, and the most important one, is that now we have come to the end of the Taoist Holy Land, and besides the Qishang Mausoleum Guardian Formation, the most powerful things we have encountered are those zombies that have sealed the heaven and earth qi.I really can't think of any other mechanism that can make Digging Dragon lose so many manpower. "

"We've come to the end? Why are you talking in such a cloudy manner now? Where did you see this? Why can't I understand at all?" Chen Ziyang's mood after seeing the eight coffins He has been unable to calm down, so that his thinking is a little confused.

"Don't just stare at the eight coffins, look at the stone gate opposite."

After listening to Liu Cong's words, Chen Ziyang finally moved his eyes away from the eight coffins. When he saw the thing on the opposite stone gate, his eyes widened again, and this time he was even worse than seeing the seven coffins. He was even more surprised when he was using the spirit protection formation.

On a stone gate on the opposite side, a "卍" pattern composed of four dragons is carved.This pattern is exactly the pattern engraved by Zhang Taixu on the back of the bronze compass he left behind.

When he first saw this pattern, apart from being shocked, Chen Ziyang also felt a little unreasonable. Why did the pattern about the clues to the treasure of the dragon veins of the Qing Dynasty appear in the Taoist holy land built in the Tang Dynasty, but after he looked around, Then I understood the reason.

There are some lifelike patterns carved on the four stone walls of this room. These patterns are either figures or mythical beasts. They are of different shapes, lifelike, and very lifelike, but all the patterns are reliefs.

Only the "卍"-shaped pattern on the opposite stone wall is carved, and it is directly carved on the smooth stone gate. It is obviously different from the surrounding reliefs, and it seems a bit out of place.

And the most funny thing is that the "卍" pattern on the stone gate is not very well carved. The four dragons are fat, thin, long and short, just like children's graffiti. Zhang Taixu is not very suitable to be a sculptor.

"That is also the clue Zhang Taixu left for us. It seems that the iron book containing the secret of the Qing dragon vein treasure should be behind that stone gate." Liu Cong said after a long sigh.

Chen Ziyang knew the reason for Liu Cong's sigh. Even if he didn't have to step forward to check, he also knew that it was impossible to destroy the opposite stone gate by external force, and the mechanism to open the stone gate should be hidden in the eight coffins. In addition to the coffin, the other seven coffins were filled with spirits.

Liu Cong ordered people to patrol around briefly to see if there were any other clues, and Chen Ziyang turned his eyes back to the eight stone coffins again.

Slightly different from what is recorded in "Civil Engineering Collection", these eight coffins are much larger and of a higher grade.The eight coffins in Zhang Taixu's mausoleum are very simple, they are carved out of white stone, and there is not even a single decorative pattern on them.

But the eight coffins in front of them look very gorgeous. Except for the bottom of the coffin, the other five sides are all carved with various patterns. Judging from the depth of these patterns, the coffins that made these coffins The stone material is very thick, and the lid of a coffin may weigh several tons.

With such a heavy coffin lid, even if the fathers of Chen Benzhong and Chen Benyi were resurrected, they would no longer be able to open the stone coffin with the force of "lifting the coffin from the back".

"Liu Cong, since you have already guessed that you will encounter the Qishang Mausoleum Protection Formation in the Taoist Holy Land, you must have studied this formation long ago. Is there any way to crack it?"

In fact, Chen Ziyang has studied the Qishang spirit protection formation in his spare time.He has consulted a large number of classics, but the records about the Seven Wars Spirit Protection Formation in all the classics are almost the same, and this formation is really difficult to decipher.

It may be that Zhang Taixu didn't get the essence of this formation back then, so he left a loophole, so that Chen Ziyang's great-grandfather caught some clues and judged the real coffin from the deep and shallow traces of the floor tiles.

But Zhang Taixu is wicked enough, he even arranged a back trick, using the Mercury Trap to make up for his lack of the Qishang Mausoleum Protection Formation, and his back trick also played a role, making Chen Ziyang's great-grandfather died in the tomb.

After walking around the eight coffins several times, Chen Ziyang found that the formation of the Seven Wars to protect the mausoleum arranged in the Taoist holy place is really seamless. The eight coffins look exactly the same, and there is no trace at all to judge Which one is the real coffin.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyang nodded. He roughly guessed why his great-grandfather would trigger the mercury mechanism, and it was because his great-grandfather was not a descendant of Maoshan.

The reason why Zhang Taixu arranged the Qishang spirit protection formation in his tomb was actually for the purpose of selection.Zhang Taixu hopes that some descendants of Taoism can truly decipher this formation. If he can't even decipher the Qishang Guardian Spirit Array in his tomb, he must have no way to deal with the Qishang Guardian in the Taoist Holy Land. Spirit array, there is no way to get the iron book he left behind.

And the reason why my great-grandfather missed the mercury mechanism after opening the correct coffin was most likely because he didn't open the other coffins and didn't release the spirits inside, so it wasn't true. successfully cracked the Qishang spirit protection formation.

At that time, the mechanism Zhang Taixu set up was most likely to seal the mercury mechanism after opening the other seven coffins containing the spirits and completely killing the spirits.

Zhang Taixu had already left clues early on, and even left a simple version of the Seven Deaths Spirit Array for selecting the descendants of Taoism, but now that the real Seven Deaths Spirit Array is in front of him, Chen Ziyang knew that he had no choice but to pin his hopes on Liu Cong.

really.After hearing Chen Ziyang's question, Liu Cong nodded and said: "Although we have studied for several years, the results of the research are very ridiculous. Once one is released, the other six will wake up together.

To break this formation, there is no opportunistic way at all, only seven spirits can be killed. "

Hearing that the results of Liu Cong's research were consistent with his own, Chen Ziyang felt a little disappointed. After all, the Qishang Spiritual Protection Formation is too powerful to be cracked by idlers.

"It is not an easy task to kill the spirits, not to mention that this formation may be arranged by Yuan Tiangang, and the spirits inside may also be refined by Yuan Tiangang himself, and the spirits in the coffin may be bigger than ordinary Shang Ling is much more powerful.

The atmosphere here is extremely cloudy, and it is very likely that the seven coffins containing the spirits are the ghosts we have been looking for, and those spirits were bred from these coffins. From this point of view, the spirits inside are very than usual.

From your words, I can tell that you should have been prepared for this matter, is there any specific way? "

Liu Cong showed a contemptuous smile, and then he let a team member with a heavy backpack walk to his side.After opening the backpack, Liu Cong poured out a lot of supplies from it, and finally he pulled out a lot of silver clothes-like things from the bottom of the backpack.

After Liu Cong fully unfolded these things, Chen Ziyang discovered that they were seven huge silver charms.These spells are like long banners, each of which is more than one meter wide and nearly ten meters long.

Seeing the silver talisman again, and it was as big as seven, Chen Ziyang's confidence suddenly increased.Silver talismans are rare in the first place, and it is not possible for a Taoist master to draw them. Moreover, the size of these seven talismans is so large, it must have taken a lot of effort to make them.

It seems that my fifth grandfather and Liu Cong have worked hard on the Qishang Mausoleum Protection Formation these years, and these huge silver charms should be specially used to deal with the Qishang Mausoleum Protection Formation.

After scanning the seven talismans one by one, Chen Ziyang found that the talisman paintings seemed incomplete, and the talisman patterns drawn on each talisman disappeared when they reached the edge of the talisman, as if a part was missing.

Although the seven huge silver talismans were placed separately, after reading the patterns on them, Chen Ziyang reckoned that if these seven talismans were put together, the patterns on them should be able to converge into a complete talisman. These seven spells should also be seven in one.

"This is the result of our research over the years. These seven silver charms are the foundation of the seven-star formation. As long as seven powerful Taoist heirs control it at the same time, the Taoist seven-star formation can be arranged, and the seven stars can be used to fight against the seven-star formation." Shang, should be able to decipher the Seven Shang Mausoleum Protection Formation."

"Seven people are needed!" Hearing these words, Chen Ziyang thought of a question.At the time of departure, the seven masters of Maoshan gathered together, and there was no problem in controlling the seven-star formation, but now that Fangzheng is dead, what should we do?Then he turned his attention to Taoist Xiaoyuan.

Liu Cong walked up to Xu Xiaoyuan and said to her, "Taoist Xiaoyuan, Fangzheng is dead, and now there are only six people left in the Seventh Division of Maoshan, it is impossible to control the Seven Star Formation, and your magic power is not low. , now I can only let you go, but fortunately you are here, otherwise we will really return without success this time."

Hearing Liu Cong's words, Xu Xiaoyuan frowned, and she secretly looked in Jia Da's direction, showing a hesitant expression.

"Disciple, don't worry, today we will go to battle together, master and apprentice, I want to see what's so good about this formation of protecting the mausoleum of the Seven Deaths." Jia Da patted his fat belly and said.
