White Bone Monkey King

"Where did the mirror come from in this canyon?"

"Old man, why didn't I notice these mirrors just now?"

The old Taoist priest looked at the glazed mirrors broken by Jin An in the darkness, and said in dumbfounded wonder.

"Sister, have you found these glass mirrors?"

The old Taoist priest looked at the country goddess, who looked solemn and shook her head.

"Sharpening the sword, did you notice it?"

The old Taoist priest asked Chi Jian, who shook his head dumbly.

The old Taoist priest was even more surprised this time. How did Jin An discover these mirrors hidden in the darkness?

However, when the exorcism talisman in Jin An's hand burned out, the feeling of being watched by countless evil eyes disappeared.

"Old Taoist, give me another evil amulet."

"Okay, little brother."

However.

This time, Jin An offered several exorcism charms one after another, but he no longer noticed those prying eyes.

"What's wrong little brother?"

When the old Taoist priest saw Jin Jing being silent, he couldn't help but shouted out of curiosity.

Jin An was silent for a while. He tried to search in the darkness for a while based on the direction of the evil gaze he sensed before, and slashed randomly with his cold knife. Although he occasionally got lucky and chopped a few glazed mirrors into pieces, the efficiency was not good. too slow.

He was like a blind man dancing with a knife.

There is no structure.

"Little brother?"

"Little brother?"

The old Taoist priest shouted nervously to Jin An again.

boom.

Jin An jumped up, leaped between several hanging coffins, and rejoined the old Taoist priest and the others.

"Old Taoist, there is something dirty in this man-eating canyon that is targeting us, but this dirty thing is very cunning. Since I saw through it, it has hidden deeper."

Jin An looked around and said with a hint of deep thought between his brows.

Hearing that Jin An had seen through the truth about this weird hanging coffin burial canyon in front of them, the old Taoist priest and the country goddess were refreshed. The old Taoist priest excitedly urged: "Little brother, what is the truth about this canyon of cannibals?"

"What's going on with those glazed mirrors?"

"How did the little brother see through those glazed mirrors?"

So, Jin An explained patiently: "If my guess is correct, this canyon is indeed not an illusion of ghosts hitting the wall, but a visual deception caused by the reflection principle of the kaleidoscope. The existence of this Xiantian Canyon itself It’s just a giant kaleidoscope.”

"Kaleidoscope?" Several people looked at Jin An in confusion.

Jin An thought for a while and gave another explanation: "The reason why we can't get out of this Yixiantian Canyon is because there is an expert who is good at Qimen Dunjia. He transformed the cracks in the mountainside in front of us and took advantage of the uniqueness here." The dark environment and Qi Men Dun Jia's technique transformed the canyon and changed the magnetic field here, making us trapped in Qi Men Dun Jia and spinning around in circles, unable to get out no matter how we walked."

"That's why you and the goddess have always been unable to find any signs of ghosts tampering with the walls in this place."

"Because we're not in the ghost wall at all."

"Rather, he was trapped in the kaleidoscope visual deception of Qimen Dunjia."

Jin An saw the old Taoist priest frowning in deep thought, and he continued to explain: "The kaleidoscope uses the reflection principle of mirrors. This entire canyon is magically equipped with a large number of glazed mirrors, allowing us to go around like a maze. ."

"This kaleidoscope can be subdivided into many types according to different visual deception effects, such as polarized type, music box type, marble type, etc. According to different terrains, an ever-changing kaleidoscope can be created without a single limitation."

"Give me the simplest example..."

Jin An began to find two broken lenses, and he drew four petals on the ground. When the two lenses reflected at an angle, the four petals turned into a complete flower with more than a dozen petals.

When the angle between the lenses becomes smaller, the number of petals reflected by the mirror becomes more, more than 20 petals, more than 30 petals...

"If you didn't know the existence of these mirrors in advance, can you tell which of these petals are real and which are fake?"

"If you increase the number of mirrors and cover the entire Yixiantian Canyon, can you tell where is the front? Where is the back? Where are the left and right? If you add Qimen Dunjia and Jiugong Bagua, this will be an infinite mirror. We can't get out of the endless looping maze, and if we can't find the direction to the exit, we won't be able to get out for the rest of our lives."

"Perhaps even the many hanging coffin burials we see may not be real, because everything we see in the kaleidoscope is a visual deception deliberately intended by the people who built the cemetery to let us see it."

As soon as Jin An changed his explanation to Qimen Dunjia, coupled with the previous small experiment with two mirrors, the old Taoist priest finally realized it.

"Isn't this the Heavenly Palace of All Things in the Qimen Dunjia Technique?" The old Taoist slapped his thigh, already understanding Jin An's explanation.

"I never thought that I would be able to see the long-lost Vientiane Heavenly Palace in Qimen Dunjia again in my lifetime. No wonder even I, the veteran, didn't see it at the beginning. Tsk, tsk, this is a rare Qimen Dunjia technique."

For people in this era, glazed mirrors were still a luxury item, and only wealthy aristocrats with strong financial resources could afford them.

For example, when ordinary people put on makeup, shave, wash, and look in the mirror, they all use water directly. People with slightly better conditions would occasionally have a bronze mirror in their homes.

Even ordinary princes and generals can't afford too many glazed mirrors in their mansions.

As for the Vientiane Heavenly Palace, which wastes people and money, the number of glazed mirrors used can be summed up in the word "ten thousand". Therefore, the Vientiane Heavenly Palace has always been a rare existence, and it is rare in historical records.

"It's a tomb beast controlled by human beings, a corpse cave, a handrail to lower a head rope, human flesh and soil, and a celestial palace with all phenomena. The deeper you go into the Dragon King's ancient tomb, the more powerful and rare things you encounter on the road. Could it be that the legendary Dragon King is really buried in this ancient tomb?" the old Taoist muttered.

Listening to the old Taoist priest's mumbling, even Jin An started to feel a toothache.

At this time, the old Taoist priest once again took out his Yin-Yang compass and walked up and down the hanging coffin.

"Old Taoist, can you break through this Qimen Dunjia Wanxiang Celestial Palace?" Qimen Dunjia is too complicated, and it's too late for Jin An to learn it now, so if they want to get out of the canyon, they have to pin their hopes on the old Taoist priest. .

The old Taoist priest did not answer immediately. Instead, he held the Yin-Yang compass and walked around before shaking his head and sighing: "The compass is still useless. It is affected by the magnet and cannot locate the eight gates, ten heavenly stems, and twelve earthly branches."

"Qi Men Dun Jia divides the twelve hours of a day into twelve earthly branches, and divides A, B, B, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren and Gui into ten days, and can deduce four thousand three hundred and twenty situation changes."

"The changes in this include the three disks of heaven, gate, and earth. The sky disk has nine palaces with nine stars, the middle disk has eight houses with eight gates, and the earth disk has eight houses representing eight directions, which are stationary... "

"This expert who built the ancient tomb is an unparalleled genius who is well versed in Qimen Dunjia, Jiugong Bagua, Yin Yang and Five Elements, and Yishu. He not only successfully built the most difficult Ten Thousand Symbols Heavenly Palace in Qimen Dunjia, but also borrowed The 4,320 rounds of changes are an endless cycle, trapping people in the 4,320 rounds of changes forever. A large number of magnets are also buried in the canyon, making it impossible for those who enter the game to locate the heavenly stems, earthly branches, nine palaces, nine stars, eight In the eighth palace of the gate, there is no way to find the birth gate. This is really a desperate situation."

Jin An frowned: "Old Taoist, do you mean that we will be trapped here forever, unable to get out?"

"We did not bring much dry food when we went down to the Yinyi River this time. We can only survive for a few days at most. Let alone eternity. If we survive for a few more days, we will all starve to death in the Qimen Dunjia Canyon."

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest who was shaking his head and sighing just a moment ago was twirling his beard and winking at Jin An with a smile: "No, no, there is no end to the road. This time, I have to thank the young lady from the Jia family." Saved us and showed up just in time.”

Jin An perked up.

Sure enough, the old Taoist priest was full of intellectual ink. The more critical the moment, the more surprises the old Taoist priest could bring him.

"This means having an elder in the family is like having a treasure." Jin An was happy.

"Old Taoist, don't imitate the peacock with its wings spread and its tail raised. If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. In addition to the labyrinth, there are also human flesh and soil in this heavenly palace, as well as the evil spirits who have been hiding in the dark to spy on us. We are not out of danger yet. ."

The old Taoist priest began to operate the yin and yang compass with both hands, manually rotating the compass, positioning the heavenly stems and the earthly branches. While positioning, he said confidently: "In Qimen Dunjia, there are nine palaces, eight trigrams, and eight gates."

"Just now, the Water Goddess walked to this position and disappeared. I have temporarily designated this place as the Sheng Gate, but why did we stand at the Sheng Gate but didn't walk out of the Vientiane Heavenly Palace Mirror? I think this Sheng Gate should be a fake Sheng Gate. Door, another explanation, Yin Zhai is different from Yang Zhai. We are now in the Yin Zhai cemetery where the Yin Qi is cold and cold, and we cannot measure the door with common sense. Qimen Dunjia, the word "Dunjia" means concealment, and the old Taoist said However, the senior who built this ancient tomb and laid out the Heavenly Palace of Vientiane was a prodigy who was proficient in Qimen Dunjia. The Dangshengmen was hidden by so many mirrors. We followed the Water Goddess to come here. Naturally, Unable to find the right birth gate.”

"So how do we find the correct hidden door?"

The old Taoist priest's hands were still rotating and positioning the compass, and he became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Thanks to the old Tao, I have been traveling all over the country for so many years. During this period, I also met several tomb robbers who were possessed by evil spirits after touching the things in the ancient tombs and found the old Tao. I once heard them talk about the coffins in the ancient tombs. There is special emphasis on the placement, such as where the head is facing and where the feet are facing. They are all very strict and there can be no mistakes."

"So as long as we locate the Nine Palaces Bagua according to this idea, and then deduce the eight gates according to the guidance of the Water Goddess, maybe we can find the real location of the birth gate."
