Chapter 1 The Golden Chamber Leads the Stars

(Volume 6. "Seven Concepts of Guigu")

The war was on the ground north of the Huanghe River, sweeping wildly, iron cavalry rushing, soldiers and bandits came and went, iron and blood made the hero's ambition and pride of pride, but it was also a tragic situation like a purgatory. There was no rooster crowing for a hundred miles, and the deserted desolation of thousands of miles was everywhere, among the abandoned fields, the corpses were all over the ground, and the rolling Huanghe River were driven to the river, and countless refugees were crying.

A land between Lu and Cai states, the rain stopped, causing mud all over the ground. A barbarian cavalry ran past, splashing mud and water, hoof prints all over the ground, and the shaking ground caused the mud to shake in the distance, and waves passed by.

This cavalry team composed of hundreds of barbarian warriors, at this moment, was full of fatigue.

When they just broke out from Xia Groove, each of them had plenty of energy and blood full of conquest. At that time, they were invincible.

The Chinese who had lost their literary spirit showed their weakness at a glance. Any team of hundreds of people could drive away thousands or even tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers and civilians.

At that time, they felt like they were as powerful as gods, chopping and killing weak people who had no power to fight back, and wantonly plundering property that did not belong to them. Women easily occupied a large amount of land. At the beginning, the biggest trouble was not the enemy, but the distribution of land and property between the various tribes. Later, more and more land was captured, and the land allocated to them became wider and wider.

For a long time, they felt like they were the land emperor who owned a lot of land and property, and war was nothing more than a game of chasing and cutting leeks.

However, now, the emperor was driven to the south by the Chinese people who went to the south, but instead began to show their extraordinary resilience. The original scattered resistance was like the sparks lit everywhere in the scorching heat of the mountains and forests. Their continuous suppression was a loss of attention.

As if the war was gone, even the powerful conquerors began to feel tired. The endless resistance and endless killings would have an end?

It is like an invisible vortex that drags everyone into the quagmire. They are not afraid of fighting or even death, but when will they end all this? The fires and constant rushing around these days have begun to cause some of them to feel powerlessness deep in their hearts that makes them more uneasy than death.

The iron hooves shook the earth and rolled away.

After these barbarians left, there were figures rising up in a depression in the distance.

First, he raised his head and shook the figure standing up. He was covered in yellow mud, and he couldn't even see his face clearly. Because of the wet mud, he was close to his body's clothes, outlining a very attractive curve, making people know that this was a young woman.

The woman turned around and pulled out another boy about six or seven years old. The boy wiped his muddy face, but instead made his face dirtier. The young woman pulled him and ran towards the forest in the distance.

"Sister Zhen, where are we going?" The boy staggered, exhausted, and a voice that was so hoarse that it was hard to speak clearly, "Where is Daddy? Where is Mom? When will we go home?"

The young woman wanted to tell the boy that they would go back soon, but in the end, she had to make up and whisper: "We have no home anymore!"

When she said this, she secretly hated her cruelty in her heart. Xiaoqi was still a child. Perhaps lies were the best comfort for him. However, in this situation, she had to let him grow up as soon as possible, just because she didn't know how long she could protect him...or how long she could live?

He said cruel words, but he couldn't help but shed tears.

Yes...they have no home anymore!

Unexpectedly, the boy did not speak or asked anything. Is he not understanding, or is it that the child actually understood it long ago?

She couldn't know either.

This woman is Zhao Tingzhen from Qilifeng.

Qilifeng was destroyed. Although she tried to protect the women and children in the village to leave, she was the only child Xiaoqi who was taken out in the end.

After escaping into the mountains, he couldn't see the barbarian army, so he felt a little relieved. However, Zhao Tingzhen himself didn't know where to go next.

He dragged Xiaoqi directly under a waterfall and rushed clean with his clothes and people. He wanted to get some food, but even wild beasts could not see one in the mountains. In the end, he could only use her superb flying knife to kill a mountain rat. Fortunately, they were originally from a hunting farm, and even Xiaoqi could do such things as roasting mountain rats.

In this way, I hid in the mountains and forests for a night. When Xiaoqi was asleep, Zhao Tingzhen took out the oil paper she had collected in person, turned it on, and studied it with the protected paper roll. After reading it, she couldn't help but look up at the night sky in a daze, thinking of the Taoist whom she was afraid she would never see again in her life.

After dawn, she took Xiaoqi and continued to go south. In such chaos, perhaps the south is the only place to be considered stable. However, even if she escaped to the bank of Huanghe River, how could she cross the Huanghe River and continue to go south? She actually didn't think about these things at all.

Two days later, they arrived at a foot of a mountain. On the way, they also met a group of thieves who wanted to molest her, but they were all killed by her. Although they could not compare with masters, she naturally didn't take ordinary thieves seriously.

But even though he killed all the thieves, he could not find dry food or other useful things from the thief who were all skinny. The only thing he seemed to be able to eat was a broad-leafed and a roasted thigh, so that Zhao Tingzhen almost vomited out all the mountain rat meat he had eaten in the past two days.

That night, they entered the mountains. As a martial arts practitioner, at least, relying on their martial arts, as long as they don’t encounter strong enemies and barbarians, there is always no problem to survive. However, while trying to capture small animals, mysterious chanting came from the other side of the mountain, as if it were a mantra.

At this moment, Zhao Tingzhen was originally like a frightened bird, and she didn't know who she was. She quickly grabbed Xiaoqi and sneaked over quietly.

Soon, they lay in the grass and looked down at the ridge. In the valley with the blazing flames, there was a group of young women dancing around the burning pillars of fire. On their periphery, there was a circle of men crawling on the ground.

The group of women sang songs that Zhao Tingzhen could not understand at all, and each syllable was strange and inexplicable. As the tone fluctuated, the flames rose and waves rose. Their reflections dispersed like petals around them with the rising flames as the center, and then shrank and stretched with their graceful figures.

What are these? Xiaoqi, who was lying on the ground, opened his eyes wide and wanted to look up to see more clearly, but Zhao Tingzhen quickly pressed it down.

These people are... Zoroastrianism? Zhao Tingzhen thought to herself. She has no idea about the foreign religions like Zoroastrianism that have recently spread to the north and south of Huanghe at an extremely fast speed, so she dare not approach them easily.

She guessed that this should be some kind of mysterious ritual. She originally wanted to take Xiaoqi and retreat quietly, but for some reason, the mysterious pillar of fire surrounded by everyone seemed to have an unknowable attraction, unconscious, and rising from time to time, making people unable to retract their gaze.

Suddenly, the girls by the fire stopped the mysterious dance and bowed to the ground together. A fire ring appeared in the void first, and a woman in red clothes and holding an azalea umbrella walked out of the fire ring. She saw a small glass bottle in her hand. The small glass bottle opened and waved it into the fire, and the red liquid inside flew into the fire. Immediately afterwards, the woman in red clothes and umbrella also quietly retreated.

And at this moment, a cold light flew in the sky, like a shooting star breaking through the night. The cold light, shrill and impermanent, flew into the blazing pillar of fire. First, the color of blood merged with the shrill and cold light, and then something was "growing up" bit by bit.

That's... a child?

Zhao Tingzhen in the dark looked at the incredible scene in surprise. It was like the growth of an embryo. In the raging fire, a baby first appeared, and then the baby grew up quickly. The unsettling, ominous aura spread out with the further rising fire, with dark clouds covering the sky and blood covering the ground.

The "baby" in the fire grew up like this, and the fire was separated, and the naked woman stepped out of the fire, with a stunning shadow and graceful appearance. Her extremely fair skin reflected the luster of the flames, and her eyes were sweeping at the crawling people with awe.

Zhao Tingzhen was secretly shocked. Such a strange scene made her scalp numb. She quietly pulled Xiaoqi and retreated, not daring to stay here for too long. After retreating to the slope, she grabbed Xiaoqi and turned around and left. Under the ridge behind them, the woman in red-clothed umbrella turned her fingers lightly and looked in their direction...

The distant southwest is Mingshan.

Mingshan is actually not a famous mountain. It is full of deep mountains and old forests, and poor mountains and bad waters.

At first, the Red Turban Army hid in Mingshan, which was actually a helpless move. It was close to Lingnan. Although there were many poisonous snakes and beasts, it also provided more space for the Red Turban Army to a certain extent. When the "Demon King of Mianshi" Zong Xiang was defeated, the Red Turban Army fled here, and he thought that there was no way out, so he could only go to Lingnan to kill and escape, and how many people were alive.

Later, the capture of Huozhou and the defeat of the Eighth Fan Xuanfu Division was something that the Red Turban Army at that time could not even think about.

Behind Mingshan, there is a forest with few people. At this moment, in the news from outsiders, Mingshan Ghost Military Advisor, who had been "retreated in martial arts", was walking alone in this forest full of tall trees.

At this moment, Bai Zijin took off his ghostly bronze mask. The weather in the south is much hotter than in the north. Fortunately, the mountains are breezes at this moment, and the swaying leaves are dancing rustling, and the light and shadow on the ground are intertwined.

He passed through the forest, and in front of him was a newly built wooden house. When he came to the square window of the wooden house, he held a stack of things into the window: "Master, this is what you want me to find."

A wrinkled, old hand stretched out from the wooden window. The people inside the house slowly took over the things handed over by the young man outside the window, and then there was a silence.

While the old man in the wooden house was looking through, Bai Zijin was quietly waiting outside. The mountain wind blew past. Behind him, the grass that was wavy in a wavy shape was turning golden under the sunlight.

It is also an unexpected thing for him to meet this old man and learn from his master.

On that day, he failed to pass the imperial examination. Bai Zijin got his grandmother's gift to him. The Yin Fu, according to the records in the book, was written by Jiang Taigong, who said that of course it was not true or not, but he actually didn't know... or at least at that time, he didn't know it.

In "Yin Fu", it is divided into three chapters: "Taigong Military Art", "Taigong Conspiracy" and "Taigong Jinkui". Among them, Taigong Military Art records the way to defeat military strategists, while Taigong Conspiracy records the art of Qimen Dunjia, which relies on mountains, rivers, and the arrangement of Qimen Five Elements to exert mysterious power. However, Baizijin has not yet fully understood it, and most of the current use is still "Taigong Military Art".

However, what he really couldn't understand was the last article, the "Taigong Jinkui", which had the least number of words.

This article "Taigong Jinkui" is actually written in tadpole text.

In fact, there are two types of tadpole script. One is seal script before the pre-Qin period. Because it is written with peaks, it looks like a tadpole. This tadpole script is also called "tadpole seal script". Although it is difficult to recognize, as long as you trace the origin of Chinese characters, you can still recognize them.

There is another type, which is in various storytelling and novels, which only gods can understand, just like tadpoles swimming.

Unfortunately, the text used in this article "Taigong Jinkui" is the latter, so that neither Baizijin nor Ningjiang can know what this article "Taigong Jinkui" is written.

Despite this, Bai Zijin never gave up. He believed that this "Taigong Jinkui" that only lasted two pages may hide the biggest secret of the original "Yin Fu". Since this "Yin Fu" was passed down by his ancestors, since the world has collapsed, and Dunjia and military strategy are of great use, it is also his obligation to understand and carry forward the secrets hidden in the entire "Yin Fu".

Afterwards, in the continuous research, he found a clue to clarifying the "tadpole text" in the book because of an unintentional study because of a mysterious iron plate taken out from the Qin tomb, and explained "Taigong Jinkui" through subsequent study.

Finally, he discovered that what this article "Taigong Jinkui" actually hides is a mysterious formation that combines the time and terrain. Although he didn't know what the use of this formation was, at this point, he could no longer stop trying to figure out all this.

So, through the troops in his hand, he investigated the Feng Shui, set up a large formation, and activated the large formation according to the time of the sky.
