Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 12
Before you know it, the sky is getting brighter.

Li Canghai rubbed his eyes, yawned, and was about to stretch when he found Di Qing sleeping soundly in his arms.

This was the first time he had observed Di Qing at such a close distance, and it had to be said that Di Qing was really a beauty.

Snow-white skin, delicate face, long eyelashes, a standard beauty, if you ask him how many times more beautiful than those singers and stars in the previous life!
"It's a pity that such a delicate girl is a violent maniac!"

Li Canghai thought of the brutal beating back then, and immediately felt pain all over his body.

At this time, Di Qing suddenly moved, and Li Canghai hurriedly closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep.

"Ah~ beast! How dare you be rude to this heroine?"

Di Qing screamed like a silver bell, and before Li Canghai could react, he was punched firmly in the eye socket.

After that, there was a sound of punching to the flesh, and screams like killing a pig.

"The heroine, spare your life, the heroine, spare your life!"

Li Canghai's eyes were beaten into pandas, and with a face like a pig's head, he wailed, "Woman, have you forgotten what happened last night? I didn't do anything!"

Di Qing opened her almond eyes, blinked a few times, and suddenly said: "Oh, I forgot, I thought you..."

"Woman, how long is your reflex arc? With my skill, how dare I treat you lightly?" Li Canghai cried with a sad face, almost crying.

"Reflection fox? What kind of fox is that? Okay, you dare to accuse Sang Huai and call me a vixen?"

Di Qing's pretty face turned cold, and she was about to go up and beat him up with her pink fist.

Li Canghai almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, he hastily shouted: "Nvxia Di, don't worry about these trivial details first, think about how to get out first!"

It was only then that Di Qing remembered that they were still trapped in the mass grave, there was no food or drink here, and if the delay continued, both of them would probably die here.

It is now dawn, and the vision is much clearer than last night.

"How can we get out?" Di Qing glanced at the surrounding mounds, curling her lips in disgust.

Li Canghai squinted his eyes to look at the sun, and said, "We will go in the direction of the sun."

Di Qing didn't have a better way, so she nodded and followed the limping Li Canghai to the east.

This time, the two of them were much more careful. Every time they reached an intersection, they marked it with stones.

In this way, after walking for a quarter of an hour, they returned to their original place.

Li Canghai and Di Qing looked at each other, they only met ghosts hitting the wall at night, how could they meet in broad daylight?
"Could it be the evil spirits here?" Di Qing shrank her neck and said in a panic.

Sitting on the ground, Li Canghai recalled every fork he took, and then drew on the ground with branches.

With this stroke, he realized that he had been spinning in circles.

Although he chose a different direction each time, he was walking around in a strange way. Looking up at the graves, Li Canghai suddenly felt disturbed.

Li Canghai suppressed the discomfort in his heart. Looking at those graves, he suddenly felt as if he had seen them somewhere before.

"East, South, West, North."

Li Canghai stood up to confirm the location, he suddenly found that there was a special grave mound every nine feet in the four directions.

It is said to be special, but in fact it is only half a foot higher than other mounds, and different from other mounds, these mounds are made of stone blocks.

"Eight Arrays!"

Li Canghai suddenly came to his senses, no wonder he felt strange, this arrangement was very similar to the legendary Eight Arrays.

It is said that Zhuge Kongming once trapped Lu Xun's hundreds of thousands of troops easily by relying on some piles of rubble. If these mounds were really arranged according to the eight formations, then it would be difficult for them to go out.

After telling Di Qing about his guess, the two quickly fell into silence.

"I've heard of this 'Eight Arrays' in the Jianghu. This array changes a lot and is unpredictable. It is arranged by the technique of 'Qimen Dunjia'. , this technique has been lost, why did it appear here?"

Di Qingxiu frowned slightly, her face was full of worry.

Li Canghai frowned into the word Chuan, he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid we are really going to be trapped here to death this time, the Qimen Dunjia is unpredictable, unless you know how to arrange it, it's the Daluo Immortal coming , I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out!"

For the first time in his life, Li Canghai felt a deep sense of powerlessness from the bottom of his heart.

As for metaphysics, he only knew superficially, and he would never have imagined that such a miraculous formation really existed in ancient society.

"Yin and yang are smooth and inverse, and it's hard to be poor. The second is to return to the homeland and the first is the nine palaces. If you can understand the principle of yin and yang, the world will come in your palm." Di Qing who was on the side suddenly began to mutter.

Li Canghai's heart moved, and then he turned his ears sideways and listened carefully.

Di Qing recited at least a thousand words in one breath, full of clumsy rhetoric, but fortunately Li Canghai was smart since he was a child, and had the ability to remember everything by ear, so he was able to write down everything verbatim.

"Miss Qing, where did you learn this?" Li Canghai asked in surprise.

"This is what my master taught me. He said that I might encounter some difficulties before, so he passed on the formula of 'Qi Men Dun Jia' to me. However, I just wrote down the formula, but what he said in it was Confused." Di Qing rubbed her temples and said.

"Your master can tell fortunes? Could it be that he is sure that you will be lucky?" Li Canghai said half-jokingly.

Di Qing also had a puzzled expression on her face. She blinked her eyes and said, "How do you know that my master will judge fate?"

Li Canghai grinned, and said indifferently: "Anyway, your master has helped us a lot. Let's try to understand these formulas first, and see if we can find a solution."

Qimen Dunjia is composed of "Qi" "door" and "Dunjia". It is composed of Liuyi, Sanqi, eight gates and nine stars, which is all-encompassing and unpredictable.

If you want to break this array, you must find the Shengmen, and the Shengmen is hidden in Liuyi Jiuxing, and its position changes all the time.

Coupled with the environment and pattern, it is almost impossible to find the door of life.

Li Canghai found an open place, used a branch to draw a rough pattern of the Qimen Dunjia on the ground, and then began to calculate according to the formula.

Li Canghai in the past couldn't understand those clumsy formulas. However, because Li Canghai now has another person's memory, he quickly understood most of the formulas.

The ground was quickly filled with various numerical values ​​and calculation formulas. Combining the inductive reasoning method learned in his previous life, Li Canghai continued to rule out various feasible solutions.

Di Qing stared at Li Canghai from the side, she suddenly felt that Li Canghai looked handsome when he was serious.

Although she couldn't understand the ghostly symbols on the ground, she could also guess that Li Canghai was deducing the way out.

She didn't believe that Li Canghai could crack the Qimen Dunjia, after all, this is a profound and headache-inducing knowledge.

Di Qing had already made plans, but she couldn't find a way out, so she set fire to the forest.

Just when Di Qing was thinking wildly in boredom, Li Canghai cried out in joy.

"I found a way out!"

Di Qing hurriedly moved her head towards it, and said in disbelief, "You have cracked the Qimen Dunjia?"

"It's not considered to be cracked. I can't crack this Qimen Dunjia because of its unpredictable changes. I just found the location of the Shengmen." Li Canghai let out a long breath.

"Didn't you say that Shengmen is always changing?" Di Qing was a little puzzled.

Li Canghai nodded and said: "That's right, Shengmen has been changing, but all the changes are not without trace. It's noon now, if I count correctly, at sunset, Shengmen will appear in... ...that direction!"

Li Canghai pointed to the east, a trace of fatigue appeared on his face.
