heart pole

The Milky Way reflects the waning moon, and the mist in the ridge illuminated by the moon is even more eerie and quiet.Yan Lingxi and Cheng Tianya's Mo Bing Department wandered in the canyon, "Eleventh." Cheng Tianya turned around and took a rough look at the number of Mo Bing Department, "When we came out of Poisonous Bee Valley, we had 620 four people, breaking through the first group of ghosts After the soldiers, there were only four people missing. But I looked at it at a glance."

Yan Lingxi said slowly, "It feels less than five hundred."

"Impossible!" Cheng Tianya swung his arms, "All captains count the number immediately!"

"A small team, 13 people."

"Squad two, one with 18 people."

"Three teams, 12 people."

Cheng Tianya's face changed, a team consisted of 32 people, although the team leaders were still calm when they reported the number, but after hearing the numbers of other teams, there was still quite a surprise and even uneasiness on their faces.

"Commander, there are a total of 390 and six people." The first captain of the Mo Bing Department said after counting.

At this time, everyone realized that many comrades in the same company had disappeared, like a chill hanging over their backs.

"How is it possible!" Shocked by Cheng Tianya, Wu Tong opened his eyes and stared at Yan Lingxi, hoping to find an explanation from him.

"Tianya, wait." Yan Lingxi shook his head, his eyes turned to the road in front of him.

"What are you waiting for, you should know the situation very well!" Cheng Tianya grabbed Yan Lingxi's chest.

"..." Yan Lingxi kept silent, just staring at Cheng Tianya's angry eyes lightly, the latter let go of his hand in desperation, his tone was still eager, "But."

"You think I don't want to go out? You think I want to entrap my brothers?" Yan Lingxi said coldly.

"I didn't mean that." Cheng Tianya turned his head away.

"It seems that this fog is intentional." Yan Lingxi patted Cheng Tianya, "There is one thing I want to say, we seem to be still near Poisonous Bee Valley."

"Impossible! We walked for several hours at least." Cheng Tianya categorically denied it.

Yan Lingxi pointed to a rock not far away, "This is the sword mark you left when you broke through the first wave of ghost soldiers, am I right?"

"..." Cheng Tianya was silent.

Yan Lingxi was also silent, he looked up at the stars in the sky, and after a long time suddenly sighed, "Oh!"

"What?" Cheng Tianya was a little surprised to see his big reaction.

Yan Lingxi twirled her hair with her fingers, as if she was calculating something, "It's my fault for not bringing out the compass at home, otherwise I should have found it long ago."

On the Red Ant Slope in the eastern part of Youdie Ridge, Mo Liang waved his feather fan and climbed up with Fu Mingchuan to watch, "If General Luo Xing sees this scene right now, he will be very surprised."

In the Xiaobai Valley in the south of Youdie Ridge, Luo Xing dispatched troops to shrink the battle line and completed the encirclement of the southern part of the central highland, while looking at the situation in the northeast, "This layout is actually..."

"Seven Souls Changyuan Formation." Ye Fengting who was leading people through the mist suddenly muttered.

"What?" Ning Jingyuan heard the key words and immediately stopped to ask.

"Although the outer area of ​​Youdie Ridge is surrounded by three oddities, the central area is centered on seven." Ye Fengting drew a crescent moon symbol on a rock with the black sword in his hand.

"Arranging in seven rows, could it be that..." Ning Jingyuan suddenly recalled the formation in the Baizhu Forest, but he immediately denied this idea, "Impossible, Lingxi said that only the Du family knows the solution to the Changyuan formation. "

"That's right, this is also what Ye is suspicious of. Wait for Brother Qing Zhou to wake up and ask him. However, unlike the cold terrain of the White Bamboo Forest, the Changyuan Formation here is guided by some kind of guidance, and what appears is not a wind knife." , but ghost soldiers." While Ye Fengting was speaking, he turned around and glanced at the phantom patrolling behind the team, and was suddenly taken aback.

"That's not right." He murmured, and then shouted: "General Xu, ask each team to count the number of people!"

A single stone stirred up a thousand waves, and when all the soldiers of the Tang army came back to their senses, they found that most of the people around them had been lost in the thick fog for no reason.

"Where's Cao Yue? He was still there when the mountain road turned a corner just now?"

"Where is Zhong Hao, he is clearly following me!"

"Captain, Shen Rui is gone!"

……

"Is there 530 left? So many people are missing." Although Ye Fengting looked calm, this situation was unexpected.

Qianchongya is located in Centipede Valley on the upper slope of Meteor Valley. There are two roads, one leading to Meteor Valley in the west and the Poisonous Bee Valley in the east. The rest of the roads are cliffs.

In the west, Yan Lingxi in a gray robe walked quickly, followed closely by Cheng Tianya in an ink dress. Both of them were pale and blue, and there were many scars on the robes, obviously they had experienced a lot. Trouble.

To the east, a white figure came into view, walking hurriedly, holding Li Qingzhou who was in a coma in his hands.

Yan Lingxi took off his hood, and his breath seemed a little disordered, "Brother Jingyuan? How did you know you wanted to come here?" Behind him, the expressions of several members of the Mo Bing Department were still tense, as if they hadn't recovered from the vigilance and crisis god.

"It was Ye who told him that this is the best and last place to go." A red figure followed with light steps, and a refined voice sounded.

Yan Lingxi smiled wearily, "Since Brother Ye is here, there is no need for me to go find you again."

Ye Fengting smiled back, "Since we are on the bandit ship, this tacit understanding is still necessary." He paused, "Why are there only these people left in the Mo Bing Department?"

Yan Lingxi narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Fengting and the remaining soldiers behind him, "It seems that you are similar. You are all poisoned."

Ye Fengting glanced at Cheng Tianya and everyone in the Mo Bing Department, "So, you have been to the Poisonous Bee Valley. Then we are with each other."

From Ning Jingyuan's point of view, the state of the two of them at the moment seems a bit reluctant.

Yan Lingxi casually found a flat rock and sat down, opened the folding fan in his hand, "It's Yin time, time is running out."

Ye Fengting chose to sit under a pine tree, "The layout of Youdie Ridge is very similar to Zhuge Kongming's formation in Yiling."

Yan Lingxi then pointed out, "It's not very similar, but a replay."

Tranquility put Li Qingzhou down lightly, and asked: "The whole siege uses strange techniques. Lingxi, the Yan family's research on Qimen Dunjia is unique in the world. What countermeasures do you have?"

Yan Lingxi waved the folding fan slowly in his hand, "The Yan family has indeed studied the Yiling formation, and has many related classics. Because it is one of the few war examples of Qimen. The Yiling formation, surrounded by The three wonders should be conquered, which is a large formation, and the inner circle is surrounded by the seven souls, which is a small formation. The three wonders rotate, and the life is endless. lost."

Cheng Tianya had an epiphany, "So we have been walking along the road before, which resulted in missing our bearings. But the astrology will not change, just use the astrology to judge the direction." He looked at Ning Jingyuan, and suddenly shouted, "Tranquility is far away. .”

"Huh?" Tranquility looked up at him.

"Take it." Cheng Tianya turned his head and threw a small bottle in his hand.

Tranquility opened the plug and smelled it, it was the wound medicine he had applied himself in Jiangzhou before.He nodded towards Cheng Tianya, "Thank you."

Ye Fengting put the black sword aside, stroking his red bamboo flute with his fingertips, "During the Three Kingdoms period, in the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao had 70, Cao Cao had 80, and both sides had 80; in the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao had 85, Sun Liu The coalition army was 70, with 20 on both sides. In the battle of Yiling, Liu Bei had 90 and Sun Quan [-], and the two sides fought as many as [-]. However, the records of this battle in various historical books are extremely brief, far less than those of Guandu and Chibi. , presumably to deliberately hide the truth."

Yan Lingxi nodded slightly, and looked at Ye Fengting, "Do you know how many Wu Jun's pursuers entered the Yiling formation?"

"At least one hundred thousand."

"Then do you know how many troops Prime Minister Zhuge used to deploy?"

"To defeat 8000 Wu soldiers in one fell swoop, even if the time and place are favorable, [-] troops are needed."

"No, only three thousand."

Although Ye Fengting's expression was so calm, the hand stroking the bamboo flute paused for a moment, and then he laughed and said: "Three thousand breaks one hundred thousand, if it is spread, it may be a strange technique or become an emperor's study. or..."

"Either burn the book and bury it, and not use it for anyone. If you can't get it, no one else can get it." Yan Lingxi's tone sounded chilling.

Tranquility wiped the blood on Li Qingzhou's cheeks with the corner of his clothes, and said lightly, "So, the Yan family is studying a unique art recovered from the ruins."

"Then the purpose of the people who set up the formation this time is very clear." Yan Lingxi put away the folding fan.

Ning Jingyuan thought about it carefully, "The other party also wants to restore this unique technique. In other words, he wants to prove that the technique he uses has reached the level of the Yiling formation."

"There is no need to prove it." Cheng Tianya was sitting on a boulder as tall as him with his legs crossed, and was rubbing his Cangyan long sword with a whetstone in his hand. It’s the third day. If you don’t break out, you will starve to death soon.”

"Hmm." Tranquility nodded, and passed the eyes of everyone in the Mo Bing Department one by one. It could be seen that most of these people had injuries on their bodies, their faces were very bad, and many of them were trembling uncontrollably.Even though the dry food was exhausted, people were exhausted, and they were in danger or even desperate situation, their eyes were still firm, which made Tranquility moved. He only lamented that the will of Mo Bingbu was really much higher than that of the soldiers in Youzhou Front Battalion.

"Now all of you have been poisoned, and at most [-]% of your skills are left. It will take at least one day and one night to recover your skills. But at that time, you will be hungry and thirsty. Even if you recover, so what." Tranquility pulled out his long sword , a white light flashed, and dozens of branches fell to the ground.He packed it up a few times and put it in front of everyone. "General Xu, light a fire."

"Ningjingyuan, why are you not poisoned?" Cheng Tianya said coldly.

"The poison of Youdie is only found in Poisonous Bee Valley and the surrounding low-lying areas. Brother Jingyuan obviously avoided it." Yan Lingxi tapped his palm with the fan bone in his hand.

Xu Wei, the former general of the Youzhou Battalion, carried a large white wooden bow behind his back. He was also one of the survivors of repeated vicious battles, and he opened the way for the army with his sharp arrows.He took out the flint and steel. Affected by the poison of paralysis, his movements were very awkward, and he didn't start a fire a few times.

"The fog is too wet, I'm afraid these branches won't light up." Ye Fengting looked, there were water droplets hanging on quite a few branches.

"Really, it's so hot." Suddenly, Li Qingzhou, who had been in a coma for a long time, complained. He shook his left palm, and a scorching sword aura struck, drying those branches dry.

"It's the poison of Huangquan candle." Tranquility realized that Jinshui Yuanqin had been away from Li Qingzhou for too long, which caused the agitation of the fire poison in his body.He immediately helped Li Qingzhou up, held his wrist, breathed in a breath of cold air, immediately dissipated a lot of anger from Li Qingzhou's red and hot cheeks, and the latter slowly opened his eyes, "Huh?"

"The poison of Huangquan candle?" Yan Lingxi's tired eyes showed a little strangeness.

"I told you before." Ning Jingyuan caressed Li Qingzhou's hot face.

"I know, but what I want to say is." Yan Lingxi got up, staggered, and came to Ning Jingyuan, his gray eyes seemed to be sorting out his thoughts.He said word by word, "What is on him is not the poison of Huangquanzhu."

"What did you say."
