Chapter 406 Eight Treasures Formation

The roads are covered with weeds, trees on both sides have been cut down, and the cottages have been abandoned, which is a symbol of the weakness of the country.

The country has the strength, and trees can be planted on both sides of the road. The trees are to mark the distance of the road, and the thatched cottages are to entertain guests. These are all things that require people to maintain and guard. When the national strength declines, no one is willing to maintain the road anymore. Similarly, the same is true for waterways. No boats and bridges are seen on the river, which also means the country has declined.

When the Wu Kingdom existed, the roads on the Guoshe Society were well-equipped and crops were planted around it. Now it is a bleak place, and the roads are covered with weeds and there are no ruts; the bridges on the distant rivers are also broken and cannot be used.

There was only one mound of soil left in the national society, and the buildings on it had long disappeared, because there would never be any Wu people coming here to worship the ancestors of Wu.

Yunyao and Danji landed in the distance and did not approach him rashly. Yunyao used his heavenly eyes and found that a large formation was really set up around the National Society: "Is this the Eight Treasures Formation?"

"I haven't heard of it." Danji's eyesight was not as good as Yun Yao. She just vaguely saw something in the distance, but couldn't see it clearly.

"The Eight Treasures Formation is not a military formation, but a method of selection by chefs and doctors of the Wu court. There are eight kinds of food in the formation, four of which are poisonous and four are non-toxic." Yun Yao introduced: "Chefs and doctors who are selected must choose food to eat. If they are not dead, they can enter the palace, and if they die, they will be eliminated."

Danji said this was too weird: "There is no detoxification process? Is it just to tell whether the food is poisonous?"

“It’s really just to tell whether food is poisonous.”

"What is this selection? If you have better luck, you can get away with it? There are four bowls of food in the eight bowls, and four bowls of poisons. The chance of passing the safety is half and half, and it is impossible to test your true skills." Danji said that this selection method is not reliable at all. There is half the chance that you can get through it, and there is no need to have any skills at all.

"It is true, but luck is also part of strength. Have you heard of the story of the Mulberry Field Witch? King Jing of Jin was sick, and Mulberry Field Witch said that Mr Jing of Jin was very ill and could not see the new wheat this year. King Jing of Jin didn't believe it, so he invited a doctor from Qin to see a doctor and got the terminally ill answer. Later, the wheat harvest was good, and Mr Jing of Jin asked him to cook the new wheat. When he ate the new wheat, he could kill the Mulberry Field Witch with confidence. Guess what happened in the end?"

"Is the Sangtian Witch killed? No, since luck is also strength, then Duke Jing of Jin must have died of illness." This was the first time Danji heard this story.

"This year's new wheat has been cooked in the cauldron, but before eating, Mr. Jing of Jin fell into the toilet and drowned. He really didn't eat the new wheat until he died." Yun Yao said seriously: "This is the strength of a doctor."

"Puff." Danji couldn't help but laugh. This story was too funny. In the end, Duke Jing of Jin did not die of illness, but fell into a pit and drowned. She said unhurriedly: "Is this a doctor or a wizard? It's not medical skills at all, but a blind eye."

"Doctors do have a large part of blind obsession. The Qin State doctor is quite old-fashioned, just saying that he is terminally ill and does not say the specific time. The Jin State doctor is more bold and directly said a deadline, but in the end he did not eat new wheat, so he is a little better than the Qin State doctor." "So there is no problem with the Eight Treasures Array of Wu State. If you have strength, use your strength to distinguish between toxic and non-toxic. If you don't have strength, rely on luck to pass the test."

"Then can you tell the poison?"

"Of course, I have been a chef who has been Guan Zhong and Confucius. Distinguishing poisons is a basic skill for chefs, and to some extent, it is even better than a doctor." Yun Yao said.

"Do you see if there are any other arrangements? Have you seen the woman who rescued Qingji and wanted to leave before?"

"I didn't see you, but I saw Qing Ji Yaoli and another fat man. If I guessed correctly, he should also be an assassin of Wu, Zhuang Zhu." Yun Yao said that it was really an assassin alliance.

"It's the guy who used the Fish Intestine Sword to assassinate King Liao of Wu? That guy is hard to deal with. I heard that he practiced the 'killing one person in ten steps'. No one can avoid his sword within ten steps. It should be a divine intention skill like 'five shots'. It is said that even Jong Meng did not dare to find Zhuangzhu because he was afraid of the unique skill of 'killing one person in ten steps'." The sharpshooter's five shots are extraordinary skills. Zhuangzhu mastered the same ability as five shots and could threaten the immortals.

Yunyao did feel the strong divine intention on Zhuanzhu. He had only seen it on Cao Mo before, but Cao Mo's divine intention was the will of the Heavenly Sword, which was Zhongzheng and peaceful. However, Zhuanzhu's divine intention was surging, reminding Yunyao of the murderous aura he encountered when he was studying "Wao Shushou Fusang".

There are definitely experts behind Zhuang Zhuo, otherwise mortals would not be able to control this murderous aura.

"Zhongzhu and the female monk who can use rainbow light must be together." Yun Yao guessed.

It is a blessing or not, it is a disaster, and now I can only go out first and say, "Let's go, meet them."

The three male monks soon noticed Yunyao and Danji. They stood on the raised foundation of the National Society and looked down at the two girls from a high position.

It was already dusk, the clouds in the sky were burning like fire, and everyone's skin was reflected in orange.

"Where is Xi Shi?"

"Senior sister is destined. You have to pass the Eight Treasures Formation to be qualified to see her." Pangpang Zhuo said. As expected, no assassin will be recognized as a killer at first sight. Whether it is Pangpang Zhuo or a thin person, they don't look like a killer at first sight. They all look like an honest ordinary person, one like a fat chef and the other like an old farmer. If Yun Yao hadn't been familiar with the history of the Wu Kingdom, they wouldn't have recognized them.

At this time, Qingji and Yaoli were not qualified to speak, and they were obviously completely controlled, mainly focusing on Zhizhu.

"I don't know which sect is the fellow Taoist from which sect? I am the God of Flowers in the Heavenly Court and the disciple of the overlord of Jiujiang. Please tell me clearly." Since Jun Zhu is not from the Jingwei Alliance, then communicate in the form of a monk and ask the other party's identity first.

"I am the disciple of the Antarctic Immortal Weng, Jun Zhu."

Yun Yao's heart skipped a beat, and he understood a series of things, why did the Jingwei Alliance go to the West to establish a country, and why did such a powerful mysterious woman appear in the mortal world?

Obviously, the Jingwei Alliance is going west to avoid disaster. It has been five hundred years since the founding of the gods, and the management of each sect is not as strict as before. The disciples of the great immortals have to come out one after another. As long as the Jingwei Alliance is not stupid, you will know that you have to be low-key now. If you provoke the disciples of the great immortals, you won’t even know how to die.

The disciples of the Antarctic Immortal Weng appeared in front of him, making Yunyao realize that the war of the Gods had been long gone, and the monks could not help but come out to move their muscles one after another, so evil organizations like the Jingwei Alliance had to keep a low profile.

Yun Yao was unhappy. After all, he was easy to bully. The Jingwei Alliance would cause trouble for him again and again. When the great immortal disciples walked through the three realms, they didn't even dare to breathe, so they hurriedly hid to the west.

It's really unhappy. The Jingwei Alliance's attitude of being completely different from each other is so annoying. It's simply discrimination against Hongguoguo and doesn't take Yunyao seriously.

There is no harm without comparison, and Yunyao is very injured now.

The Antarctic Immortal is a powerful character. He helped the Ancestral Sect during the Battle of the Gods. Although he appeared few times, he was very powerful.

"Since I am a disciple of the Immortal, why should I bully Xi Shi, a weak woman?" Yunyao said: "Let her go, I will definitely come to the door to thank you someday."

"Xi Shi was guilty of destroying the country in Wu, not a weak woman." This was the remark, but Zhuang Zhu did not say that he had to kill Xi Shi, but said: "If you can see my senior sister through the Eight Treasures Formation, you can talk to her by yourself."

Yunyao sighed and said, "Okay, I will learn about your eight treasure formation."
