At ten o'clock in the evening, under the order of Leng Changxi, the army started toward the canyon according to the established plan. Naturally, a pocket shaped Canyon could not be rushed forward. Leng Changxi ordered two teams of cavalry and archers to circle the two sides of the canyon from the path in the morning, and the horse he rode was not a common grassland horse that was only good at speed, but a dwarf horse commonly used to transport tea in Southwest China, Good at climbing and steep mountain road.
Leng Changxi rode at the front, behind him was Leng Jiajun who had fought with him for countless times. Qin yunuan got off the carriage and rode on a gentle red mare. Her hair, covered by a black cloak, danced lightly in the wind. Her white face was particularly prominent among the yellow brown stones.
Suddenly, there was a dark wind. It seemed that there was an evil spirit in the distance. It was like the wind and rain rolling in. It pushed the horse under Leng Changxi's crotch back two steps. Here is a very open space, just like the big pocket in the middle of the pocket canyon. It is surrounded by brown rocks and stacked in circles. It is the result of the accumulated wind, just like It's a huge gossip circle. More than a thousand cold troops are like lambs trapped in this big brown circle to be slaughtered. But none of them dare to retreat and carry them. Their weapons are tightly grasped, but the Black Hawk looks at the front indifferently: "don't panic, everyone." but then, the people who have been fighting for many years have to panic. "The stone gate array is coming 。”
Qin yunuan is also slightly frowning when he hears about it. The past arrays are all passive and attract people. Few of them are active. It seems that this array is really unique.
During the speech, several boulders fell in a fixed place like the sky. The appearance of the moment was like a strange magic spell, which made the soldiers more nervous. But then, almost at the same time, several stones with more than one height and more than two arms were pulled out of the soft sand, blocking every key node like a new tree The stone is still changing its position and moving constantly. Some of them are as fast as the wind, while others are as slow as the old man.
Some people can't help asking Leng Changxi, "general, what should I do? This array is more complex than what we have studied before. It does not have a fixed arrangement at all, and it is constantly changing. "
"No," the Black Hawk said quietly, "it's just a cover up. It's also one of the arrays. In fact, they are all fixed."
"Here How could it be. "
"It's very simple. I'll prove it to you." The Black Hawk directly draws out his crossbow on the saddle. The Black Hawk used to make the sword, but now his arm is injured and he can't lift the heavy iron sword. Leng Changxi lends his own crossbow to him for temporary use, but he can't help it. The Black Hawk's arm can't miss for a while, and the crossbow lands dangerously, but is firmly caught by the cold frost on one side.
She raised the crossbow with cold frost. She didn't know how many times she used it, but the recoil force was bigger than the ordinary crossbow. Every time she used it, her arm would ache for a while.
"Let me help you. Where are you going to shoot?"
In the face of cold frost's active help, Black Hawk has no expression, but said to cold frost gloomily: "what do women follow? Can't you learn from water and cold, and stay behind with logistics and cooking camp honestly?"
Hearing the name of shuihan, Leng Shuang's heart suddenly fell. His arm was stiff with a crossbow, but he didn't know what to do next. He asked a soldier who was following him to take care of him: "come, shoot the third stone on the left with the slowest movement. Remember, shoot the center of the third stone without any deviation."
The soldier was thin and small, with dodging eyes: "Deputy Cang, I'm just an ordinary logistics soldier, archer. I don't understand. I don't know how to use this crossbow."
In this conversation, whoosh, the sound of the bow out of its sheath attracted everyone's attention. From a distance, you can hear a snap. This is the sound of the arrow made of black iron shooting into the stone. Although the black iron is extremely hard, it is not difficult to shoot from such a long distance.
In the distance, the stone that was still moving rapidly stopped suddenly, not only this one, but also the third one on the right.
It's really strange. Just at the moment of everyone's surprise, Leng Shuang has quietly put away the bow and crossbow in her hand. Just now, she was a little angry at this shot. But with her ability, she also knew that she would be shot. In addition to the slight pain in her arm, she was calm and motionless.
"Return the bow and crossbow to you." Leng Shuang leans to hand the crossbow to the Black Hawk. The Black Hawk's eyes with scars twitch coldly. However, Leng Shuang's next words are respectful, which makes people think that there are some points in life. "It's the maid who doesn't appreciate it. The maid will go back now. Please don't be angry with Mr. chamu."
She no longer called him black hawk, but honored him as Mr. cangmu, a gentleman, and a slave servant, which made the distance between them very different.
"No need," Qin yunuan stopped in time. "Who says that women can't be dangerous? Cold frost, you stay, you're not a burden. What's more, I'm just learning swordsmanship, and I need you to protect me." Qin yunuan said, looking at the black eagle tentatively. "Mr. chammu, what do you think?"
The Black Hawk turned to look ahead, as if to continue to study the principles and laws of these stone movements: "then stay, if you go back, you have to find someone to escort her, even more trouble."Leng Changxi coughed quietly and reminded the Black Hawk: "Mr. Cang, who is going to stay here? It seems that it should be decided."
The Black Hawk's mouth slightly slanted unnaturally: "I just think that it's a hindrance to have an unwise woman here. I'm offended. It's up to the general to decide."
Leng Changxi nodded with satisfaction, only glanced at the pale frost and said, "you'd better take care of it with Mr. Cang for the time being." Then he asked Qin yunuan, "madam, what do you say?"
Qin yunuan also smiled and nodded: "very good."
Leng Changxi and Qin yunuan look at each other silently and smile, regardless of the more pale black hawk and the embarrassed cold frost.
After the first stone is solved, the following rules will be followed and so on. During this period, there will also be several problems or shooting deviation. After Leng Changxi takes over the crossbow, he will be able to shoot at every shot.
Qin yunuan looked for a long time and suddenly understood that the dazzling stone used a mirror image principle. It seemed that there were stones all around it. In fact, the stone gate array only occupied half of the circle, while the other half of the circle was the mirror image of the stone gate array generated in its movement. Its movement speed and shape were the same as the real, but the direction of movement was just right On the contrary, in principle, there should be an object or energy source in the middle that can produce mirror image principle.
This energy source is usually in the center of the whole array, because only in this way can we keep the balance of the whole array.
When the Black Hawk and Leng Changxi and Qin yunuan explained, most of the stones in the array had been fixed by the crossbow, but the only two largest stones were still moving rapidly, which was not only the fastest, but also the strangest pair.
because as like as two peas, they are all moving around the gorge in a circle, like two children who run fast. If so, it is impossible to tell which is the real Shimen matrix, which is derived from the mirror image.
The setting sun is about to fall into the mountain when people are puzzled. The stones that are temporarily stopped because of the change of external force such as arrows are ready to move. This means that the stone gate array will change with the movement of the sun. If we can't find out which is the real stone gate array in time, our previous efforts will be in vain.
Just at this time, accompanied by a close and rapid footsteps and the jingle of armor, a pure white throne appeared at the top of the canyon. The throne is half a person high, and the handrail is inlaid with beautiful enamel. Who would use such a heavy and impractical throne in the empty Canyon?
In an instant, a thousand cold troops took out the scabbard and the weapons in the scabbard in a uniform way. Their iron eyes clanked at the shadow slowly moving over the canyon. No, they were a group.
It's like a sedan chair. It's not easy to carry a sedan chair up in such a rugged valley.
As soon as the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, a man in crimson clothes and a jade crown with a beautiful face walked off the sedan chair. He glanced at the situation in the valley with a little enchanting. His mouth slightly raised a trace of unseen smile, put his skirt in a dozen, and turned to sit on the white throne. The maid immediately bowed and put a plate of clean agate grapes on her side There is no table in the mountain. The maid kneels respectfully in front of the boy in red clothes to let her master enjoy the delicious food.
Leng Changxi squints at the bottom of the canyon, stares at the young man's every move, shakes his head, not only sighs in his heart, this is called Xu Ji, it's really a man demon.
Xu Ji suddenly smiled and slowly opened his mouth to the bottom: "general Leng, I know that you admire me in your heart, praise me for my strength. To be honest, I admire myself very much."
Leng Changxi bowed his head in cold sweat. He was not only a human demon, but also conceited.
Xu Ji looked down at Leng Changxi and said with a charming smile: "in fact, you don't have to be humble, general Leng. I still heard about your name." After that, he put his eyes on the black eagle, who had been looking at something wrong for a long time, and pretended to be enlightened, exclaimed: "it turns out that the descendants of the Cang family are also there. Speaking of it, you have been driven into the mountains for many years, but now you can still live a personal life. The old man's tomb was chosen to be of some standard. However, if you can break 27 stone slabs of mine, you may not break the last one One piece, so you'd better put your head on and take it easy. "
