Chapter 12 Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams! Descendants of the Five Elements?
"Although the truth is a bit ugly, I have to admit that you are right."
Hearing Zhao Gan's words, Mao Xueyi replied with a wry smile: "That's true. Last time we entered the Heavenly Palace, we did not get deeper."
Zhao Gan asked: "What did you encounter when you first entered the Heavenly Palace? Can you tell me the process in detail?"
"Of course, this is no secret."
Mao Xueyi recalled: "After entering the Heavenly Palace, we realized that the environment of the Heavenly Palace was unique, and everyone was very careful. But even so, we still encountered a special situation - before we knew it, we were trapped by the Heavenly Palace."
"Trained?"
Zhao Gan thought about it and repeated it.
"To put it bluntly, it's like being hit by a ghost."
Mao Xueyi nodded: "After entering the Heavenly Palace, we first located in a corridor of the Heavenly Palace. There are many passages around us, and the center of the main hall stands in front of us. But no matter where we plan our way forward, we are unable to get close to it for a long time."
He said with a wry smile: "Even in the end, we confirmed that we had been walking in a straight line and could not get close to the Lord of the Heavenly Palace. Even because we were far away from the entrance, we could not find the way back and were trapped in the Heavenly Palace for almost two days. It was still the companions stationed outside the Heavenly Palace who noticed something was wrong and entered the Heavenly Palace to search for our traces, so that we could find a way out for us to get back."
"There are many internal mechanisms in the Heavenly Palace, and the people of Beiyanshan set up the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation on the outside."
Zhao Gan thought, "The Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation is commonly known as the Nine Curves of the Yellow River. It is one of the ten major formations of the ancient Qimen Dunjia. After entering it, it can instantly fall into it, and it is difficult to find the direction like a maze, and it is difficult to crack. You can still come out without knowing anything. It is indeed only a blaming God's blessing."
"I see."
After hearing this, Mao Xueyi was frightened and sweated coldly on his forehead, and he was scared.
Then he was quite surprised: "Inviting you to join the archaeological team is indeed the right decision. Zhao Gan, our team is now lacking talents like you."
"Since you know the Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation, do you know how to crack it?"
Mao Xueyi asked.
"The key to cracking the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation is to find the Shengmen of the formation. Simply put, there is only one direction in the formation that is correct. If the correct direction can be found, the formation will not have an impact on the entry party, but if the direction is wrong, it is almost impossible to go out."
Zhao Gan shook his head and said, "I can't guarantee that I can find the right direction, I can only say that I can give it a try."
"Then are you willing to enter the Heavenly Palace with us?"
Mao Xueyi asked again, and then spoke out in a sincere tone: "You have enough knowledge of the Heavenly Palace. If you are here to help us, the success rate of exploring the Heavenly Palace will be higher. Zhao Gan, I really hope you can follow us into the Heavenly Palace."
He paused and then said, "After entering the Heavenly Palace, the archaeological team will always be in danger, and their lives are in danger. Of course, I cannot guarantee that you can walk out of the Heavenly Palace safely. So, I hope you can think carefully and then give me an answer."
"Of course, if I don't want to, I won't come here."
Zhao Gan gave a positive answer without hesitation.
The Heavenly Palace of Qin Shihuang’s Mausoleum is a copy he created. If he doesn’t come to pass the level in person, will this copy be unable to pass?
If the first copy cannot be passed, even if the second book is written, will the second copy be opened smoothly?
Everything is uncertain.
In short, if you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you get a tiger’s son?
From the moment he agreed to Mao Xueyi's invitation, Zhao Gan was already ready.
"Very good."
Mao Xueyi was very happy and pulled Zhao Gan to continue the discussion: "According to your understanding, besides the nine palaces and eight trigrams formations on the periphery, is there any threat in the heavenly palace?"
"If you regard the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams as a mechanism, then it must be the most harmless one in the Heavenly Palace."
"The great way is fifty, the sky is four nine, and people escape one. This escape is the glimmer of vitality left to us by the designer of the Heavenly Palace and the people of Beiyanshan. The purpose is just to prevent people from entering the depths of the Heavenly Palace, give the invaders a chance to regret, and avoid the invaders from entering the Heavenly Palace by mistake."
Zhao Gandao: "But if you continue to go deeper, the remaining agencies will not show mercy. If you make a mistake, you will definitely die."
"Do you know other agencies?"
Mao Xueyi asked.
“No guarantee.”
Zhao Gan said vaguely: "Anyway, everything I know has been written into the novel. Didn't you go to read the books I wrote before you called me over?"
“…”
Mao Xueyi became embarrassed: "I did hear of your masterpiece, but I haven't had time to read it yet."
"Then your task force has always seen it?"
Zhao Gan turned his attention to Lin Heze, Kong Yuan and Sun Haoqiang.
The three members of the task force looked at each other and showed an embarrassing smile to Zhao Gan.
"I have read it, but your book is hundreds of thousands or millions of words. The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is just one of them. We can't ask us to memorize it in a slight way, right?"
Kong Yuan answered.
"You two are very confident during the interrogation. I thought I was really studied thoroughly by you."
Zhao Gan gritted his teeth.
"Didn't that prepare in advance?"
Kong Yuan spread his hands: "Which policeman did not do any preparation before arresting people? You said yes?"
"Captain Lin, since your task force has a complete copy, can you lend me a look?"
At this time, Mao Xueyi interjected.
"Of course, I'll send it to you later."
Lin Heze nodded.
"Okay, it's almost noon."
Mao Xueyi looked at the sky and smiled and said, "Let's go have a meal and chat slowly at the dinner table."
"good."
The group changed places to continue communicating.
"Tomb guardians..."
At the dinner table, Zhao Gan asked Mao Xueyi why he wanted to invite him and was willing to protect him.
After hearing the answer, he was a little confused and then reacted without answering.
Of course, in the eyes of others, this is the default.
"The surname of Zhao is very familiar with the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, and even knows the secrets of the Heavenly Palace..."
Mao Xueyi said: "Apart from the descendants of the tomb guard tribe, there is nothing that can explain your identity. No, there is actually..."
"Tomb robber."
At this time, Kong Yuan smiled and said the answer to Mao Xueyi.
"Shut up!"
Zhao Gan glared at Kong Yuan fiercely.
"Speaking of this, Professor Mao and Zhao Gan not only wrote in the book, but also mentioned that the people of Beiyanshan have five disciples, called the Five Elements. They passed on two melodies from generation to generation, and there are five rings as the key to cracking the treasure box and opening the Heavenly Palace... Are their descendants of the Five Elements the tomb guarding clans?"
Kong Yuan suddenly had a guess and said jokingly: "If Zhao Gan was a descendant of the tomb guarding clan, would his ancestors be the Five Elements?"
“It’s possible.”
Mao Xueyi's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhao Gan: "Your ancestors might be really the Five Elements. But for more than two thousand years, the family survived and reproduced. Your fathers or ancestors, and even ancestors from a further period, lost their family mission and regarded everything passed down from their ancestors as stories. By chance, you wrote the story into a book. When it happened, Qin Shihuang was discovered, so you accidentally became a tomb robber... "
"By the way, you obviously recognized the Terracotta Warriors and Horses at first sight, but the reason why you didn't admit it was because you understood it at that time..."
