"All the four phenomena in the eight directions have their destiny. Don't make a wrong step on the road to this world!"

After the Laughing Taoist said these words, an illusory light array composed of eight trigrams appeared in the north facing the Laughing Taoist.

Chen Ran looked at the familiar symbols appearing in front of his eyes, and suddenly smiled.

In his previous life, Chen Ran was very interested in Taoist culture, so he even worshiped a master of Zhouyi studies. Chen Ran studied the names, graphics and meanings of the eight hexagrams for more than half a year, and he was very familiar with them. .

"Qian is connected three times, and Kun is broken six times. The bowl is shaken up, and the bowl is covered by Gen. It is empty in the middle, full in the middle. It is empty in the upper part, and broken in the lower part of the sun."

A familiar formula slowly flowed out of Chen Ran's mouth. This is a memory formula about the Bagua patterns that every beginner of the Book of Changes must recite.

The ancestors of ancient Taoism believed that the sky and the earth were originally chaos, with nothing in them. This was the state of infinity. Later, after hundreds of millions of years of slow evolution, the sky and the earth evolved into the sky. and the earth, this is called Tai Chi.

Tai Chi includes the Tao of Yin and Yang, advocating that everything has two opposites. This is what people often say that Tai Chi produces two things.

After the heaven and earth first opened, there were two qi of yin and yang, so all things came into being. People gradually knew the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and recognized the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest. According to the concept of yin and yang, people defined things as four attributes, namely the sun , Taiyin, Shaoyang, Shaoyin, so there is a saying that two rituals give rise to four phenomena.

Later, after understanding the principles of two rituals and four images, people created eight symbols, named Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Gen, Dui, and Xun respectively, and these eight symbols corresponded to heaven, earth, water, and fire one by one. , Lei Shan Zefeng, finally formed the magical Bagua.

In order to facilitate the memory of beginners, the Yin and Yang practitioners of later generations created the formula that Chen Ran just recited.

With the help of the formula, Chen Ran looked towards the formed light array and saw that the Bagua hexagrams on the light array slowly became solid, and four hexagrams appeared.

The bottom one is three solid horizontal lines, which corresponds to the phrase "three consecutive lines of Qian" in the formula, which is the hexagram "Qian".

On the upper left side of the "Qian" hexagram is a solid horizontal line with two short horizontal lines on it. It looks like a spittoon from the outside. Comparing the formula, Chen Ran instantly saw that this was the "Zhen" hexagram.

Opposite the "Zhen" hexagram, that is, on the upper right side of the "Qian" hexagram, there are two solid horizontal lines pressing on a short horizontal line. According to the formula "Xun Xia Duan", we can deduce that this is the "Xun" hexagram.

The last hexagram is directly opposite the "Qian" hexagram. Chen Ran does not need to use formulas to calculate. From the corresponding relationship, he can judge that it should be a "Kun" hexagram, because in the eight trigrams, Qian represents heaven and Yang. On the one hand, it also represents men, so corresponding to Qian is the "Kun" hexagram, which represents Yin, earth or women. This is why in Qing Dynasty TV dramas, the emperor's residence is called Qianqing Palace, and the queen's residence is called Kunning Palace. The reason is.

These four hexagrams are combined together to form the sparkling formation, but in the formation, only the three hexagrams "Qian", "Zhen" and "Xun" are entities, shining with golden light. The "Kun" hexagram is an indifferent white shadow.

Chen Ran looked around and found that three of the four people in the team also had hexagrams on their heads. However, among these three hexagrams, only the correct "Kun" hexagram was displayed on the top of Yue Yuezi's head.

Chen Ran thought for a moment and understood the mystery. This formation was like a puzzle. A hexagram would randomly appear on everyone's head, including himself. Only by putting the correct hexagram into the formation could the formation be completed. Guaranteed no mistakes.

"Yue Yuezi enters the formation, and no one else can enter.

!”

Chen Ran quickly spoke and said to the four people in the team.

"Copy that, Gang Leader!"

Hearing the words, Yue Yuezi responded and quickly rolled in the direction of the formation, while Dabao and Zining continued to output in place after hearing Chen Ran's instructions.

As soon as Yue Yuezi entered the formation, the "Kun" hexagram in the formation, which was originally pale white, immediately bloomed with dazzling golden light. The other three hexagrams "Qian", "Zhen" and "Xun" appeared on Yue Yuezi's " After the "Kun" hexagram was added, they all shrank inward. When the four hexagrams collided together, the formation dissipated with a "boom".

"Done! Keep outputting!"

Chen Ran snapped his fingers and continued to turn to the laughing Taoist and start outputting.

The Bagua formation disappeared, and the Taoist Laughter continued to summon the black and white light ball composed of Yin and Yang. This time, the light ball selected Chen Ran, floated in the air, and drifted towards Chen Ran staggeringly, with increasing speed. quick.

"hateful!"

Seeing that the target of the light ball was himself, Chen Ran cursed in his heart. He saw with his own eyes that the rough-skinned and thick-skinned Dabao was rubbed on the back by the light ball, and a layer of skin was burned off. The famous crispy profession, if Chen Ran were to take a hit, he would probably lose half of his life.

"Qianji scans a section!"

Chen Ran started running. During the running process, Chen Ran put down the puppet sixteen meters in front of him, which was the limit distance he could control, and then activated the skill "Thousand Machine Sweep". part.

The light ball moved faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye, it was less than ten meters away from Chen Ran.

"Qianjiscan, second paragraph!"

Chen Ran ran forward a few more steps, and when the light ball was still about five or six meters away from him, he launched the second stage of Thousand Machine Scan.

"Whoosh!"

Chen Ran teleported directly to the puppet more than ten meters away, greatly increasing the distance from the black and white light ball.

Light Ball: Woohoo, just two inches missing!

Chen Ran stood there and turned around to look at the light ball chasing him. Seven or eight meters away from Chen Ran, the black and white light ball finally dissipated completely due to exhaustion of energy.

"All the four phenomena in the eight directions have their destiny. Don't make a wrong step on the road to this world!"

At the moment when Chen Ran got rid of the light ball, the laughing Taoist once again said the incantation to condense the formation. What Chen Ran found a little strange was that this time, the laughing Taoist summoned not one, but two formations. seat!

"Ah! This..."

Chen Ran stared blankly at the two formations that suddenly appeared in the field, and his mind felt a little blank for a while.

Chen Ran looked around and saw these two formations appearing on the east and west sides of the laughing Taoist. The east one had a total of four hexagrams, namely "Qian", "Kun", "Kan", and "Li". Among them, the "Qian" hexagram and the "Kun" hexagram are solid, while the "Kan" hexagram and the "Li" hexagram are empty, which means that the formation on the east side lacks these two hexagrams.

Looking at the formation in the west, there are also four hexagrams, namely "Kan", "Li", "Zhen", and "Xun". Among them, the "Zhen" hexagram and the "Kan" hexagram are solid, while the "Li" hexagram is solid. The hexagrams and "Xun" hexagrams need to be filled in.

Chen Ran looked solemn, now it was a bit tricky. Two formations were missing four hexagrams. In other words, four of the five people in Chen Ran's team had to enter, and these four people had to correspond to what they wanted one by one.

The formation you enter cannot be wrong!

This is not the biggest headache for Chen Ran. The biggest headache for Chen Ran with these two formations is that among the four missing hexagrams, there are actually two duplicates!

"Don't be anxious, stay calm!"

Chen Ran muttered something encouraging to himself, and then looked over the heads of King Lanling and the other four of them.

The hexagram on the head of King Lanling is two short horizontal lines sandwiched between them.

The strips are long and horizontal, which corresponds to the phrase "full in the ridge" in the formula, so the hexagram "kan" is on the head of King Lanling.

On top of Yue Yuezi's head appeared the "Xun" hexagram that had just appeared. This was the hexagram missing from the formation to the west.

Looking at Dabao and Zining again, the hexagram on Dabao's head shows a shape similar to a hamburger, with two short horizontal lines sandwiched between two solid horizontal lines. This is called "Li Zhongxu", so the top of Dabao's head is in the shape of a hamburger.

The one on the top is a "Li" hexagram, and the one on Zining's head is a two short horizontal lines up and down with a long horizontal line in the middle. It is actually another "Kan" hexagram!

After figuring out the hexagrams on the heads of Dabao, Zining, Yueyue and King Lanling, and comparing the missing hexagrams in the formation, Chen Ran immediately deduced that the one on his head should also be a "Li" hexagram, because now

Dabao is the only one with the "Li" hexagram in the field, so the remaining "Li" hexagram must be on his head!

After analyzing all this, Chen Ran hurriedly ran all the way, walked into the formation that lacked the two hexagrams "Kan" and "Li" in the east, and then shouted to the rest of the people: "Prince Lanling, come to my formation.

Fa, Yueyue and Dabao go to the formation to the west!"

Prince Lanling, Dabao and Yue Yuezi heard Chen Ran's instructions and began to take action. However, Chen Ran clearly did not assign tasks to Zi Ning and took over. Zi Ning heard Chen Ran's call and did not think about the content carefully at all.

He opened his legs and ran towards the formation to the east.

"boom!"

The formation on the east side originally lacked the two hexagrams "Kan" and "Li". Since Chen Ran with the "Li" hexagram on his head had already settled in place in advance, he only needed the Lanling King with the "Kan" hexagram on his head.

Entering the formation, this formation was successfully fought, but Zi Ning, for some unknown reason, also walked towards this formation. The hexagram above his head was exactly the same as that of King Lanling, and the two of them bumped into each other on the way.

Together, Chen Ran heard a huge roar and his whole body was blown away from the formation.

The collision between Prince Lanling and Zi Ning directly caused a series of chain reactions, disrupting the entire battle!

To the west, Yue Yuezi and Dabao were still two or three steps away from entering the formation and completing the formation. They took over the explosive air wave generated by the collision between King Lanling and Zi Ning and flew backwards.

What's even more coincidental is that Chen Ran happened to be flying in this direction.

The hexagram "Li" is on the top of Chen Ran's head, and the hexagram "Li" is on the top of Dabao's head. Originally, the two of them were going to the east and the other to the west, so that they could get into the water without disturbing the river. It was better this time. After the collision between King Lanling and Zining, it happened.

Under the influence of , Chen Ran and Dabao bumped into each other again.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Two huge explosions sounded in the field. The first explosion was caused by the collision of two identical hexagrams, Chen Ran and Dabao, while the second explosion was caused by poor Yue Yuezi's repeated explosions.

Later, the "passive skill" was revealed!

Dabao, Zining, King Lanling and Chen Ran fell to the ground one after another. The health bars on the panels of the four of them were all reduced to residual health, especially Chen Ran, whose health was still in double digits!

The battle situation suddenly became precarious. If the laughing Taoist came to attack at this time, then Chen Ran's team would face the end of being wiped out by the group again!

"Pure heart hanging jade!" "Rejuvenation with bare hands!" "Spring breeze umbrella!" "Mountain ghost ballad!"

Everyone in the team had low health, but Yue Yuezi was very busy. Not only did he use his own healing skills, but he also used "Le Ling's" identity skill - "Mountain Ghost Ballad".

At the critical moment, Yue Yuezi finally raised the health of all members to a relatively healthy blood level, avoiding the risk of being wiped out again.

After being filled with blood, Chen Ran sat up, looked at Zi Ning and Prince Lanling, and yelled with anger on his face.
Chapter completed!
