That's right!

We've returned to where we were before.

The two women also saw the mark, and their expressions instantly darkened.

"I've been scammed!"

Yun Suyan frowned and continued:

"Is it a technique? But why can't I sense it at all?"

Chu Yanxi shook her head.

"It doesn't seem like it. We've been walking for almost an hour. A technique couldn't last that long. I think it must be an array."

"Formation?"

"That's right, it should be a maze, a formation built using terrain and trees that can affect a person's perception."

"Then how do we break the formation?" Qin Huaiyu asked hurriedly.

Chu Yanxi pondered:

"In the past, we could understand the structure of the formation with our divine sense, but now the smoke is blocking our divine sense, so we can't use it. We can only try to find the formation's core, but right now our vision is obstructed, and we can't even see the road clearly, let alone find it."

Indeed, we're completely blind right now!

Qin Huaiyu's mind raced. "Is there any basis for this formation?"

Chu Yanxi's gaze sharpened slightly as she said:

"Yes, there is. Judging from the situation, this formation is not supported by nightmare energy, but more like a strange formation."

Qimen?

Qin Huaiyu thought of escaping and said:

"You mean Qimen Bagua?"

"What, you understand?" Chu Yanxi asked, somewhat surprised.

Qimen Bagua is studied by Taoists and is considered rather useless. Most practitioners do not study it because it is not very useful and is a waste of time.

It is even more useless to those with great cultivation. In the face of absolute strength, any strange formation is nothing but a clay chicken or a tile dog. Even a casually inscribed formation is a hundred times more powerful than a strange formation.

"I know a little bit!"

Qin Huaiyu breathed a sigh of relief. If what Chu Yanxi said was true, then there was still hope.

Qimen Dunjia and Bagua are nothing more than the arts of the I Ching.

The directions and doors mentioned correspond to the Five Elements.

Just then, Pu Liugang suddenly rushed over.

"Sir, there's something wrong with this road. Look around, it seems like we've come all the way back."

His face was flustered, and he made no attempt to conceal his voice.

The others immediately realized what was happening and quickly raised their torches to look around.

Not long after.

Someone exclaimed in horror:

"Yes...yes, here's the half-branch I lost."

"So that means we've been going in circles... This is really weird!"

"Ghost, ghost, sir, what do we do?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Qin Huaiyu.

Those who were further away even moved closer, as if only in this way could they feel a little safe.

"Calm down, everyone. Stop making wild guesses and scaring yourselves."

Qin Huaiyu knew he had to stabilize the situation, otherwise things might get messy.

He continued with a stern face:

"This strange phenomenon is not caused by ghosts. According to Yanxi, it is a Qimen formation used to confuse us."

"A formation?"

Pu Liugang looked surprised and doubtful, and the remaining guards were also moved.

Although they were not formally trained, they were government officials and thus had some knowledge of certain secrets.

The formations are mysterious and profound. It is said that they can kill people invisibly, teleport them thousands of miles away, or trap them to death for life, and so on.

In short, it is exceptionally powerful, beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"A formation? Isn't that more terrifying than a ghost? Doesn't that mean we have no chance of survival?" someone said fearfully.

"Oh no, oh no, I'm not even married yet, and I'm still a virgin!"

"No, no, I don't want to die yet, sir! You are a cultivator, you must have a way!"

Like drowning people grasping at a straw, everyone looked on with hope.

Fang Lie, however, was squatting under the tree, scribbling and drawing randomly on the ground with a twig.

The advantage of a madman becomes apparent at this moment.

Fear is nonexistent!

"My lord, you... can break the formation, right?" Pu Liu's voice trembled as he spoke.

Seemingly affected, even the two women nearby were looking at him.

Qin Huaiyu dared not waste any more time. For some reason, the longer he stayed in the maze, the more uneasy he felt, as if something was about to happen.

This inexplicable emotion lingered in my heart, and I felt an urgent need to get through it.

He immediately said:

"Qimen contains eight gates, namely Rest, Life, Injury, Block, View, Death, Shock, and Open."

The Eight Gates contain the Eight Trigrams, which in turn contain the Five Elements.

Mangdang is a mountain, and mountains belong to the element of earth in the Five Elements. Earth has trigrams, which are divided into Gen Earth and Kun Earth. However, the gate corresponding to Kun is the Death Gate, which means a very ominous trigram, and its meaning is unclear.

The Gen (艮) direction corresponds to the Sheng (生) gate, signifying vitality. If our prediction is correct, choosing the Sheng gate will allow us to find the key to the formation and escape the maze.

Chu Yanxi was astonished upon hearing this; did he know a little about it?

Even those Taoist priests probably don't have such profound attainments!

This guy seems to know everything. He can write poetry, cultivate himself, and now he's even good at Qimen Dunjia.

How did he do that?!

Yun Suyan was also greatly surprised. Was her younger brother really a member of the Qin family from the small town?

Even if a playboy in the past tried to hide his talents, he could never have done so well.

Not only is he brilliant, but he's also now involved in Qimen Dunjia (a form of divination).

They are not the same person at all!

Could it be that I've been possessed...?

Pu Liugang, Tian Dafu, and the other guards were dumbfounded.

Although I didn't understand it, it didn't stop me from thinking how impressive it was.

"Now that we have a solution, sir, where is the exit?" The guard asked the most crucial question.

Qin Huaiyu raised an eyebrow slightly and said:

"The trigram has a direction; the Gen trigram is in the northeast."

"northeast!"

The guards were overjoyed, but before long, someone asked:
