Without money, what is the point of being a traitor?

Chapter 184 Why is this dog man so meticulous?

Pei Yuan looked at the thunder that occasionally fell to the ground, and asked Song Chunniang with shining eyes, "Can these thunders be controlled?"

Song Chunniang also had only a vague idea, "I can't do it anyway. But there is a way to keep myself from being disturbed."

Pei Yuan understood, "That is to say, this lightning will only strike others, not you, right?"

Song Chunniang nodded and said, "Yes, that's what Captain Han said."

Pei Yuan thought about it for a moment and immediately understood the wonderful use of this "Altar of Wind, Thunder, Clouds, Rain, Mountains and Rivers".

It seems that as long as you enter with a special method, the four divine gates will show four corresponding celestial phenomena: wind, thunder, clouds and rain.

Then you yourself will not be affected, but can use these four celestial phenomena to fight against the enemy.

Pei Yuan's eyes lit up. "No wonder the 'Wind, Thunder, Cloud, Rain, Mountain and River Altar' in each prefecture is the refuge of the evil-suppressing thousand households. As long as we hide in this formation when the enemy attacks, we will have a chance to deal with the enemy and hold on until help comes."

Pei Yuan glanced at Song Chunniang and spread his hands, saying, "Give it to me."

"What?" Song Chunniang pretended to be confused.

Pei Yuan looked at Song Chunniang and sneered, "You are a gangster, what can you do? Captain Han must have given you something."

Just like that token.

Song Chunniang rolled her eyes at Pei Yuan, then reluctantly took out a small seal.

Pei Yuan took it and saw words on the seal.

It was just a special seal character that Pei Yuan couldn't recognize.

"That's it?"

Pei Yuan looked at Song Chunniang and felt the urge to search her.

Song Chunniang seemed to have guessed Pei Yuan's thoughts long ago. She just stared at him coldly without saying much.

Pei Yuan looked at the thunder that occasionally hit the ground and felt a little unsure.

"Come on, let's try another door."

Song Chunniang also knew that although Captain Pei looked a little weak, he was much stronger than her at critical moments.

Rather than relying on my own mediocre kung fu, it is better to rely on Pei Qianhu's mediocre kung fu.

Song Chunniang tapped the door knocker, waited for the door knocker to spit out the token, and handed it to Pei Yuan, "Whoever gave it can take it out. When you take it, he will recognize you."

Pei Yuan took the token in his hand and thought about it seriously.

Thunder is too violent to be used for testing.

As for Yun, it didn't seem like there was any major damage, and nothing could be seen.

If the wind...

Pei Yuan remembered the last time he was trapped by that Taoist Lingzhu with a strong wind.

The damper seems to be useful, but it is a little unintuitive to use for testing performance.

It is still suitable for rain. You can tell at a glance whether you can be exempted from heavy rain.

So Pei Yuan went straight back to the previous door.

Song Chunniang pointed to a simple mark carved on the door, which looked like a rainy cloud.

It looks similar to the symbols used in weather forecasts in later generations.

This is easy to recognize!

Pei Yuan took out the token, and saw that the eyes of the animal-head door knocker on the door immediately became active and stared at the token.

Pei Yuan tried to pass the token over, but the beast head opened its mouth and swallowed the token directly.

Pei Yuan thought about it and did not go in directly. Instead, he imitated Song Chunniang's previous behavior and knocked on the other animal-head door knocker that was silent.

The beast head that swallowed the token immediately regained its vitality, opened its mouth and spit out the token again.

Song Chunniang asked doubtfully, "Aren't you going in?"

Pei Yuan said casually, "Try again."

As he spoke, he shook the token in his hand, and then tried to throw it at the beast head.

The throw was not particularly accurate this time.

However, the copper beads in the beast's eyes had been paying attention to the token. They actually poked half a foot out from the door knocker and grabbed the token.

Pei Yuan estimated the approximate range and knocked on another door knocker.

The beast head that swallowed the token was activated again and spit out the token.

"What are you doing?" Song Chunniang asked curiously.

Pei Yuan replied, "I'll try and see what the maximum distance is for activating this formation, so that I don't lose control at the critical moment."

Song Chunniang took a look at the bronze animal head ring on the door and muttered, "Is this necessary?"

Pei Yuan ignored her.

When you really encounter an enemy, even an inch of advantage may lead to completely different results.

If he met a ruthless man like Yu Zhenzi, would he have to run to the copper ring, hand over the token carefully, and activate the formation?
The lead time is so long. By the time the beast head reacts and swallows the token, Yu Zhenzi might be able to kill him with one sword.

The ideal situation, of course, is to throw the token from a distance to dispel the formation, and then when the person escapes to the front, the formation can be smoothly entered.

However, with Pei Qianhu's skills, accuracy becomes a problem, so he must figure out the tolerance level here.

Pei Yuan tried twice more and roughly understood the situation.

As long as he appeared within ten feet of the copper ring beast head with the token in his hand, the copper ring beast head would notice him. As long as he threw the token within two feet of the copper ring beast head, it would be able to bite it accurately.

If you throw it from ten feet away, even if you hit the beast head, the activation time of the beast head will not be enough, and it will easily fall directly to the ground.

Song Chunniang was speechless after seeing Pei Yuan's series of actions.

How come this guy is so thin?

After Pei Yuan figured out how to open the divine gate, he pushed open the "rain" divine gate and entered the Taoist temple.

The sky was gloomy and heavy rain was falling.

Pei Yuan took a step forward and walked into the rain. The pouring rain could not get close to Pei Yuan at all.

Pei Yuan seemed to be in a special mechanism that made the surrounding water unconsciously repel him.

Even the puddles on the ground naturally separated, leaving a piece of dry land for Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan looked at the one-foot square of dry land around him and was stunned.

The water-avoiding mechanism was so good that Pei Yuan even doubted whether the rain was real.

He looked out from the divine gate at the moonlit sky and wondered to himself, could this so-called magic circle be an illusion?
Only illusion can form such a repulsion mechanism so accurately and clearly.

Because they are all fake in the first place, it is not difficult to change them.

With this speculation in mind, Pei Yuan returned to the Taoist temple.

He observed the raindrops falling from the sky and tried hard to feel the breath of the rain around him, but there was no sense of unreality at all.

Pei Yuan thought about it and waved to Song Chunniang, "Come here!"

Song Chunniang said unhappily, "What for?"

Pei Yuan said seriously, "Do a test."

Song Chunniang had previously seen the tests Pei Yuan had done to open the Divine Gate, and knew that Pei Yuan probably had some ideas at this moment.

Although she was a little reluctant, she also understood that some details might determine the life or death of the two. At this time, what else was there to worry about?

She had no choice but to take two steps forward reluctantly.

As soon as she entered the rain, Song Chunniang was soaked like a drowned rat.

It was early spring and the weather was colder than a normal winter.

Song Chunniang was soaked by the cold rain and immediately shivered with cold.

She couldn't help but glare at Pei Yuan angrily with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes.

Pei Yuan quickly said, "It's OK, it's OK."

When Song Chunniang fled away, Pei Yuan followed her out.

Then I saw Song Chunniang was soaked by the rain, her clothes were wet, and she was shivering with cold.

"You, you, you..." Song Chunniang gritted her teeth.

Pei Yuan looked at Song Chunniang's wet body and reached out to touch it.

Song Chunniang immediately opened Pei Yuan's hand and asked, "What are you doing?"

Pei Yuan said unhappily, "I didn't provoke you for no reason. This result will be of great use to me."

"What's the big deal?" Song Chunniang glared.

Pei Yuan carefully analyzed it for her, "Do you think this Rain Gate is useless? You don't think that this little bit of rain is useless except for getting people wet and making the enemy feel bad, right?"

"What else?" Song Chunniang, who had experienced it personally, did not intend to be convinced at all.

Pei Yuan said earnestly, "Think carefully about how Yu Zhenzi escaped after being attacked by me."

Song Chunniang briefly recalled and realized, "She turned into water."

Pei Yuan asked again, "Then think about it again, did the Taoist priest Chang Shun take us to the Sanyuan Palace to burn incense?"

Song Chunniang's tone was no longer so harsh, "So what?"

Pei Yuan continued, "Do you still remember what the three yuan in Sanyuan Palace refers to?"

Song Chunniang thought about it carefully and immediately took a breath of cold air.

Pei Yuan said, "The three elements of Sanyuan Palace are heaven, earth, and water. The Huaihe River Basin was once ravaged by the Yellow River, so people pay special attention to the worship of the water god. And because Huai'an just experienced a rare flood and snowstorm more than ten years ago, the worship of the water god has become more prosperous."

"Many of the various temples I've seen these days are dedicated to various water gods, big and small. Some are dedicated to natural gods such as various rivers, and some are dedicated to people related to water."

"So it's no coincidence that Yu Zhenzi turned into water to get out of trouble. It's very likely that he majored in the water element."

"This Rain Divine Gate is full of water, but there is no water around the person holding the seal. Just imagine what would happen if Yu Zhenzi and I had a decisive battle in this Divine Gate."

Song Chunniang was convinced at once.

Pei Yuan continued, "You came out soaking wet, which basically proves that the rain inside is definitely not an illusion."

"Similarly, the celestial phenomena in the other three gates must also be real celestial phenomena."

"According to the mechanism of the seal, it will actively repel the surrounding moisture for me. But just now my hand was very close to you, but the moisture in your body did not evaporate at all. Does this mean that the mechanism of this seal can only take effect within the Divine Gate?"

Song Chunniang's momentum weakened instantly.

Pei Yuan said seriously, "These details may affect the overall situation. How can General Song be so petty at this time?"

Song Chunniang became timid when she heard this, and she pursed her lips and said nothing.

Pei Yuan reached out again and touched her clothes.

As expected, the moisture on the clothes did not evaporate at all.

Pei Yuan touched the clothes and thought, which obviously proved what he said just now.

This special mechanism of avoiding water should only be applicable to those within the Divine Gate.

Song Chunniang's face flushed slightly. Because she was in the wrong, she muttered weakly, "It's not necessary to touch my breasts."

Pei Yuan immediately gave her a sharp look and uttered four words, "Consider the overall situation."

Easily intimidated the little subordinate.

Captain Pei thought about it and then conducted the next experiment.

Pei Yuan handed the seal to Song Chunniang and said, "Go in and try again now."

Song Chunniang no longer dared to question anything at this moment, and obediently stood in the rain holding the seal.

From the moment she stepped into the Divine Gate, the rain that Song Chunniang had just been hit by suddenly became like conscious living beings. Some of it rolled and gathered together, flowing down in streams, while some evaporated like smoke, dissipating wisp by wisp.

Before Song Chunniang could take a few steps, her clothes were completely dry.

Pei Yuan's eyes flashed, and he instantly came up with several plans to deal with Yu Zhenzi.

Pei Yuan snapped his fingers and said, "Come out."

After Song Chunniang came out, Pei Yuan spread his hands and took the seal handed over by Song Chunniang.

He touched the clothes again and praised, "You did a very thorough job."

Song Chunniang looked at Pei Yuan and wanted to say some dirty words, but she was not sure whether this bastard would say a lot of truths again.

After testing the Yumen, Pei Yuan’s confidence increased greatly.

Thinking that the locks of the Cloud Gate and the Wind Gate had not been cut off yet, and not going in to see if the formation could still be activated, he immediately went to the two doors again based on the principle of doing things in a detailed and practical manner.

The symbol of Yunmen is a small cloud, and the pattern of the cloud is still similar to that used in weather forecasts in later generations.

Pei Yuan unfolded the iron chain and tested the bronze animal head at the maximum distance.

As expected, the bronze-ringed beast head grabbed the token at the critical moment.

Pei Yuan entered the Divine Gate and took a look, only to find that this place was a little different from what he had imagined.

The very least point is that the clouds in Shenmen are not floating high in the sky.

Instead, it lingered around the shrine and Taoist temple like a barrier of mist and smoke.

Pei Yuan walked in the shrine and Taoist temple as if he was in the sea of ​​clouds in heaven.

Pei Yuan roughly judged the effect of this Cloud Gate, which could block the opponent's sight while not affecting himself.

He secretly thought in his heart that for a person of Yu Zhenzi's level of cultivation, it would be useless to just block her line of sight if he wanted to deal with her.

Unless this cloud can block the perception of practitioners, in this case, it is still somewhat useful.

However, Pei Yuan and Song Chunniang did not understand spiritual practice and had no way to test this possibility.

It's a bit regrettable.

Pei Yuan had a general understanding of Yunmen and went to see Fengmen.

The symbol for the wind gate roughly resembles a swirling storm wind.

The situation inside Fengmen was almost the same as Pei Yuan had guessed.

There were strong winds raging everywhere, sometimes blowing up mud, dust, soil, rocks and gravel on the ground.

When the dust and dirt are stirred up, it can make it hard for people to open their eyes, and the whistling wind can block people's hearing. When larger pieces of earth, rocks and gravel are stirred up, they can cause little harm to people.

As for other effects, since Pei Yuan does not have many testing methods, they cannot be seen for the time being.

After looking at the four divine gates, Pei Yuan had a general idea in his mind.

If Yu Zhenzi came again, even if he was not tricked, he would be fully confident that he could hold out until Han Qianhu came to support him.
