The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

If he can't even break a Bagua formation, then he shouldn't hold the title of Tomb Raider Captain anymore; he should just go home and collect cow dung.

Hearing Fang Yun's words, the team's morale was greatly boosted.

Everyone's expression relaxed slightly.

Indeed, they had witnessed some of Fang Yun's abilities along the way.

Even evil spirits are afraid of Fang Yun, so if he encounters evil spirits again, it won't be a problem.

As for places where people can be trapped...

It should be known that the tomb raiders are most skilled at calculating the Five Elements and numerology, and predicting the eight directions, so breaking a maze should not be a difficult task for them.

...............................

Soon, the group passed through the arched doorway.

Behind the doorway is a tomb chamber, which is shaped like an octagon, with an arched doorway on each of the eight walls.

The tomb chamber was completely empty, without any decorations or ornaments.

Fang Yun glanced around, his brows furrowing slightly.

There are eight doorways: one is the entrance, and seven lead to the next path.

Group: 519124243

Each doorway leads to a long, winding passage that stretches as far as the eye can see and is so low that one has to crouch to walk through it.

"With so many forks in the road, this might be the maze that trapped Senior Hongfu for a month back then. 々!"

Huo Sanniang said thoughtfully.

"This should be it." Zhang Qishan nodded and smiled.

"But the fact that the predecessors of the Red Mansion did not encounter any traps or evil spirits in the maze is good news, indicating that this place is just a simple maze."

At this point, Zhang Qishan looked at Fang Yun and said:

"Brother Fang, this place has eight walls and eight gates, which should correspond to the eight directions of the gates."

"No one here understands the eight directions better than you."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun nodded and took out a golden compass from his pocket.

Pretty much as he expected.

There is magnetic interference here, so the golden compass is completely unusable; the orientations are all wrong.

"Since that's the case... let's take it one step at a time and find out the pattern of this divination gate."

After a moment of contemplation, Fang Yun put away the golden compass and extended his hand to the crowd.

"Give me the notebook."

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, Lieutenant Zhang immediately took out a notebook and pen from his pocket and handed them to Fang Yun.

Fang Yun took the paper and pen and started drawing immediately.

"North (Gen) and West (West) represent life...North (Kun) and North (Yin) represent death... These are the directions..."

In less than a minute, Fang Yun drew out the location of the first Bagua entrance.

Many tombs contain Bagua formations, some real and some fake.

The true Bagua was established to align with the positions of the celestial bodies; simply put, the ancients sought good fortune from the will of Heaven.

The fake Bagua was set up to trap and kill tomb raiders; all the gates beyond the eight gates are dead ends.

The reason why the tomb owner did not seal the door was to connect the tomb to form a living tomb to draw in the earth's energy. Even more extreme, like King Xian, he left a path of life in order to return to life.

And he happened to know about this tomb.

There was nothing particularly dangerous in this tomb. It was similar to Li Chunfeng's illusory tomb, with escape routes left everywhere to test those who entered, allowing the best to survive and the worst to retreat.

After memorizing the directions, Fang Yun chose the rightmost doorway and went straight in.

He needs to walk through the Bagua formation around the Bagua entrance, decipher its patterns, and find the only way to enter the tomb.

"Let's go, everyone follow."

"Don't touch the wall, just follow the path Brother Fang has taken."

Upon seeing Fang Yun enter the cave, Zhang Qishan quickly signaled his team to follow.

Soon, the entire group entered the doorway.

This passage is very long, and it has more than a dozen branch passages inside.

It felt as if countless branching paths surrounded the octagonal tomb chamber at the entrance.

Since it was just a trial to explore the directional patterns, Fang Yun didn't think too much about it and simply chose the one to the right.

It took a full three minutes to walk to the end of the passage.

"The Sixty-Four Hexagrams of Fuxi!"

(Li Wanghao)

As soon as he stepped out of the passage, Fang Yun's eyes narrowed.

This is yet another tomb chamber.

But this tomb chamber is several times larger than the previous Bagua tomb chamber.

This tomb chamber is square, and the interior space is shaped like a cube.

There are four walls in total, and each wall is divided into four layers, with four passageways on each layer.

There are a total of sixty-four channels!

Ordinary people may not be able to see the secrets of these passages, but the sixteen-character feng shui secrets he learned contain a sixty-four-character celestial hexagram.

This is not an ordinary Bagua formation, but a sixty-four hexagram derived from the Bagua.

Using the sixty-four hexagrams in a maze... that means there are sixty-three more tombs like this one!

There are more than four thousand main passages in total, and within these four thousand main passages there are countless interconnected side passages.

If it's just a matter of luck, one might spend a lifetime trying to escape this trap.

Chapter 208 The Dao Must Not Be Lightly Passed On!

Just as Fang Yun was calculating the divination results in his mind, the group behind him also walked out of the passage and came to this tomb chamber.

"No way!"

"This is... the sixty-four hexagrams of Fuxi, the cycle of all things!"

Qi Tiezui, being a diviner, had a great understanding of divination and quickly discovered the hidden mystery here, exclaiming in shock.

Zhang Qishan was taken aback and quickly asked:

"Eighth Brother, are you aware of the problem here?"

"Of course I know, it's a huge problem!"

Qi Tiezui nodded, his words were strong, but a hint of joy appeared on his face.

Seeing Qi Tiezui's expression, Zhang Qishan breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Then do you know which way to go next?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Tiezui's expression froze.

"This... let me take a look first."

"The tomb chamber here has a total of sixty-four openings, which correspond exactly to the sixty-four hexagrams of Fuxi, forming a cycle."

"In other words, there may be sixty-three more similar tombs, and even if you could get out, it wouldn't be something you could do in a short time."

"I never expected that I, Qi Tiezui, would encounter such an exquisite formation. I am truly fortunate!"

"what?"

Zhang Qishan's face immediately darkened.

What's there to be thankful for in this situation?

If what Qi Tiezui said is true, there are sixty-four such tomb chambers, each with sixty-four entrances, and each entrance has more than a dozen interconnected side passages.

If you calculate it this way... the chances of getting out of the maze are practically zero.

No wonder those seniors from the Red Mansion were trapped here for a month back then.

However, just because Qi Tiezui is helpless doesn't mean Fang Yun is helpless.

In terms of celestial status, the tomb raiders are the undisputed leaders of their profession.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qishan looked at Fang Yun. Zero

Fang Yun was seen quickly sketching something with a pen and paper.

Out of curiosity, he walked over to Fang Yun and took a look. 6

00-08-01-16-09-02-24......7

Fang Yun wrote rows and rows of numbers in his notebook. The numbers were all basic characters, but when arranged in order, he couldn't understand them at all.

In the end, Fang Yun used numbers to draw four diagrams. Zero
