Hearing Tuo Dun's assured reply, Fang Zishu's face was filled with excitement. ”Haha, I've finally found this hidden passageway.”
”Brother Fang, since we've managed to recruit these 20 channels, does this mean that we'll be able to leave this place?” Just as Qi Sanpang finished his sentence, Da Ceng and Fatty Dun turned their gazes to the prescription as well.
They had already stayed in this pitch-black space several times. Although the package was filled with food and water, if they continued to stay here in this dark place, it was likely that they would go crazy sooner or later.
Thus, when they heard about the possibility of leaving, everyone's gazes turned to Fang Zhoushu at the same time.
”Right now, we have only found this hidden passageway. As for whether or not we can leave, that still depends on whether or not the Master of Tombs has set up any new traps in this passageway.” As he said this, he gestured for Fatty to engrave a digital symbol in front of the passage.
At this moment, the plump man's voice rang out, ”Master Fang...” Situation... There seems to be something amiss! ”
”What's wrong?” Fang Zishu's heart tightened.
”At the bottom right of this passageway, there is a symbol engraved.”
”Is it marked? How could that be? Didn't you just say that you don't have one? ”
Fang Zishu was anxious. If this passage was not the 20th bend that they marked out, then wouldn't it mean that they had yet to find the true hidden passage? Doesn't that mean that all their sleepless efforts for the past few hours have been wasted?
Right at this time, the fat man's voice sounded out once more, ”This symbol was not marked by us, but rather the one that Third Uncle Qi had engraved at the beginning.”
”That symbol engraved by Qi Sanpang?”
Fang Zishu frowned and immediately said, ”Fatty Dun, take a few steps forward and let me take a closer look.”
After holding the highly focused flashlight for a few minutes, Fang Zhushu sighed, ”This is indeed the mark Qi Sanpang left earlier.” Then, he held the high focused flashlight for a few minutes, and finally sighed, ”It is indeed the mark Qi Sanpang left earlier.
After pausing for a moment, he looked back at the book and said, ”Qi Sanpang, after the number '10', we have passed through a few bends.”
Without waiting for Qi Sanpang's reply, Fatty responded first, ”Nine!”
”Nine?”
Fang Zishu slapped his forehead. ”That's right, nine, nine, return to one.” ”Unexpectedly, I really didn't expect this would happen!”
”Grandmaster Fang, what don't you think?” Professor Xu asked.
”Because I can't use the star sign or the compass, I didn't dare to determine the exact location of this place. But now, after many twists and turns and the numbers on the curved path, I am finally sure that we are trapped in the Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Formation.”
”Nine Palace Eight Trigram Formation?” Qi Sanpang was stunned.
Fang Zishu nodded his head, then said: ”This is an extremely complex array, before I and the note had met with this array in an ancient tomb called 'Green Dragon Water Acupoint', it was just that the array I had encountered back then was just a simplified version of the 'Nine Palace Eight Trigrams', and at this moment, this song 'Nine Palace Eight Trigrams' is very profound, every curve it moves on, in fact also represents a 'Palace'.”
”However, this is not in accordance with the arrangement of the 'Nine Palace Eight Trigrams'. All Nine Palace Eight Trigrams require the combined power of the Nine Palace. In the end, the Nine Palace Order Formation is formed, but now …” Fang Zishu did not expect a cultured professor of archaeology like Professor Xu to know something about the 'nine palaces'. He couldn't help but take a few glances at Professor Xu.
”Professor Xu, you mentioned the 'Nine Palace Eight Trigrams' Formation that was common in those days, and the formation we are in now is based on the 'Nine Palace Eight Trigrams' Formation. It can be considered another form of the 'Nine Palace Eight Trigrams' formation.”
