Chapter 227: Finding the Center of the Formation
Chapter 227: Finding the Center of the Formation
Yunyi felt a little heavy-hearted. She took out the note from her spatial storage again. It was slipped to her by the woman while she was handing her water. It said, "Save us."
She could imagine that if it weren't her, but someone else, if they were discovered, they might not all be alive.
However, she is still unclear about the situation in the village. To save people, she needs to know both herself and her enemy. Besides, she can't do it alone, and she might even alert the enemy.
Just then, Shiba appeared out of nowhere.
Yunyi's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly took out paper and pen to write a letter, which she then tied around Shiba's neck: "Go find the young master."
Ning Xingchen was the closest to this place, and besides, he had people with him.
No sooner had Shiba left than someone came upstairs.
Yunyi quickly lay back down.
Soon, the door was pushed open, and Qing Xuanzi walked in. He looked down at Yun Yi and even reached out to touch her face, probably to check if there was any skin residue or something. After finding nothing, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Someone, let's try drawing two drops of blood first."
Someone came over, pricked Yunyi's finger, and took two drops of blood.
After everyone left, Yunyi got up again and wiped her fingers. She had wasted two drops of blood, but she figured she couldn't catch a wolf without risking her cub. She decided to let them have their fun.
The blood's function became apparent that very evening.
Just as Qing Xuanzi was getting excited, Yun Yi received a message from Shi Ba. Ning Xingchen replied that he understood and told her to use fireworks as a signal.
Yunyi felt relieved.
Looking at the small black insect wriggling in the porcelain bowl before him, Qing Xuanzi couldn't suppress a smile: "Excellent, Yuehua, with this woman, it won't be long before the Great Zhou Dynasty is under our control."
"I knew you were the best." Yuehua kissed Qingxuanzi's cheek.
“I said I would definitely help you get back what you care about most.” Qing Xuanzi turned to look at Yuehua. “Then I definitely will.”
"When that day comes, we will rule the world together."
"Then you mustn't go back on your word."
"how is this possible?"
……
As they were talking, the two of them rolled around together again.
Just then, a blue firework suddenly exploded in the sky outside.
Yunyi jumped off the bed in an instant, opened the door, and before the two guards could react, she slit their throats with a single blow. She then put the bodies into the room, closed the door, and went downstairs.
The fireworks were quite obvious, and some villagers probably saw them too, but no one seemed to care. After all, the village was protected by a formation, and without a guide or the knowledge to break the formation, even if one entered the village, they would be trapped and at the mercy of others.
Yunyi is very familiar with formations, after all, she has experienced too many. In the three thousand minor worlds, almost all the ancient planes involve formations. Even if she only learns one formation per plane, she can learn more than a thousand.
This village is a maze of Bagua (Eight Trigrams) formations, using houses and plants to create the array. Once the key point of the array is destroyed, it will become an ordinary village.
When she was looking down at the village from the outside, she noticed a house surrounded by white, black and gray mist. If she was not mistaken, that was the location of the array's core.
That house is not far from the fish-eye view of this two-story building, and it faces northwest.
Yunyi moved quickly, arriving at the small house in less than ten minutes. It was a solitary house surrounded by a fence, with three main rooms inside, which were even built of mud. It looked very simple, or rather, it was probably the most simple house in the entire village.
The fenced yard should be a vegetable garden, but because the weather is cold now, no vegetables are planted there. However, the ground has been turned over, and three furrows have even been dug.
Yunyi curled the corners of her mouth slightly. The northwest is the Qian position, and Qian is three connected while Kun is six broken. The place where she entered the village before was the Kun position. At that time, she paid special attention to it. There were more than a dozen trees there arranged in an interesting way, with two trees side by side and a road in the middle.
Now it seems that this was foreshadowing the Kun position.
"Young lady, who are you looking for?" Just then, an old woman with a cane came out of the house.
Yunyi made a gesture to indicate that she was lost and didn't know how to get out of the village.
The old woman suddenly smiled and said, "Since you're here, it must be fate. Don't leave." With that, she opened the fence gate and pulled Yunyi inside, but she went out herself.
Yunyi: ...
The old woman smiled outside the fence gate: "Girl, our master needs you, so you should stay put to avoid suffering."
Yunyi reached out and tugged at the fence gate, but couldn't open it no matter what she did. Suddenly, her expression changed, and she leaped into the room, smashing the door open.
In the courtyard, a large net was used but found nothing.
As soon as Yunyi got up from the ground, she saw several sharp arrows flying towards her. She quickly closed the door and heard a clanging sound. The arrows hit the door, and one of them even pierced through the wooden door.
Yunyi hurriedly took two steps back, glanced at the arrow that had pierced through the room. It was quite sharp. She quickly put it away, then turned around and looked into the room. She found a statue of a deity on the altar in the middle of the main room, but Yunyi couldn't recognize which deity it was.
Both rooms on either side housed deities, but no matter how long she thought about it, even after considering all the deities in the three realms, she still couldn't recognize the origins of the three deities in this room.
Since I don't recognize it, I'll stop thinking about it and hurry up to find the key to the mechanism.
[Sixteen, are you there?] Yunyi knew she didn't have much time left. After all, it would take time for the outsiders to break in, and Qingxuan knew she wouldn't let her go if she ran away.
[Boss, I'm here.] Sixteen immediately went online.
Can you help me figure out where the mechanisms are in this room?
sixteen:……
"Boss, I really can't help you with this. My scanning function is broken."
Yunyi sighed speechlessly and blocked Sixteen, forgetting that the guy always messed up at crucial moments.
sixteen:……
What a heartless woman.
Yunyi began to observe all the objects in the room intently. Finally, behind the statue in the main room, there seemed to be a cloud of black mist gathering. She was overjoyed. Black mist represented death energy, so there must be a mechanism or an inanimate object here.
