Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1178 The reason
Changsun Tao picked up the rice paper and continued to compare it with other pieces of silk.

But what is different from the previous one is that the next few silks do not show formations, but terrain.

There are seven pieces of silk remaining, each representing a location.

The topography of each location, including water patterns, is meticulously rendered.

Si Ma

His joking words made everyone think deeply.

Xie Yun asked: "Is there really a seven-star array?"

Sima Xuanmo spread his hands: "I don't know, I was just joking!"

Lu Mingyu glanced at him: "Hanhan!"

Sima Xuanmo was very wronged: "Even if I'm so stupid, I can't help it. I can't let your aunt capture me and reshape me."

Lu Mingyu shook his head, ignored him, and drew the maps he just saw on rice paper.

Changsun Tao studied the map for a long time and could not find any connection between these seven places. However, since they were left by the Master, there must be a reason for their existence.

Finally, Changsun Tao said: "Yan Yan, try if you can put these seven locations on the same piece of paper. Maybe you can gain something."

Lu Mingyu said: "If you don't know the location, it's useless to put the locations together randomly."

Everyone looked at Sima Xuanmo in unison.

Sima Xuanmo raised his head, grabbed the pen from Lu Mingyu's hand, marked each location, and then raised his chin triumphantly.

Lu Mingyu glanced at him again, bent down and drew the seven directions on the paper. When the map was formed, she couldn't help but wonder: "What's going on? I always feel like something is missing."

Changsun Tao pointed to the map and said: "Southeast, northwest, plus northeast, northwest, and southwest, there are seven directions in total. Without southeast, the map will naturally be incomplete."

Xie Yun said: "What is the connection between these seven directions and the Octagonal Formation? The so-called Octagonal Formation is besieged on all sides, and the formation is outside, and the people inside cannot escape, so it is called 'Eight Directions', but The seven places seem to have no connection with the Octagon."

Nangong Suisui interjected: "If we gather eight directions, should we use these eight places to set up an eight-square formation? And then surround Emperor Shitian inside?"

Changsun Tao said: "It is possible, but we need to gather these eight places to judge the feasibility of the eight-sided formation."

Lu Mingyu touched his chin and looked at the map, and suddenly asked Sima Xuanmo: "Where is the middle of these eight places?"

Sima Xuanmo said: "I only know that it is a big mountain, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round."

Yao Niang, who had been listening carefully, spoke up and said: "There is a crater on the top of this mountain. It is recorded in the history of Izumo that 'there is a volcano on the top of the snow mountain. It burns day and night, and the storm is not fierce, and the rain is not extinguished'."

"There is also a rumor among Izumo folk about this volcano. It is said that the God of Fire lives in the volcano. Once, the God of Fire became angry and made the volcano come alive."

"Causing tremors in all directions, the flowing fire spurting out from the mountain pass has the power to uproot mountains and destroy dry matter. It can crush all living things. And the smoke it brings can cover the sky and the sun and will not disperse for a long time."

Lu Mingyu frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Di Shitian is afraid of being burned. Can we force him into the crater of the volcano and burn him to death?"

Changsun Tao said: "Di Shitian is not that stupid. He knows his own weakness and will be forced into the crater by us."

"There must be some special connection between these directions. When we complete the eighth direction, we may be able to find the key left by the fortune teller." Xie Yun looked at Sima Xuanmo: "Cousin, you are wandering around in Izumo. In so many years, has the fortune teller only taken you to these seven places?"

Sima Xuanmo reached out and held Xie Yun's shoulder: "Second brother, believe me, I also want to know where the eighth place is, but in the first seven places, unforgettable things happened when Master took me there. , so it was recorded in the book by me.”

"All the other places are as bland as plain water. It's really difficult for me to find an unusual one among the millions of boring and bland places."

Xie Yun had nothing to say.

Changsun Tao looked at Sima Xuanmo with a smile but not a smile, saying nothing.

Lu Mingyu said softly: "He is a road fool. Without San Meng, he will accomplish nothing. If you rely on him to lead the way, I'm afraid he will lead you to the ditch."

Si Ma It’s just painstaking.”

Lu Mingyu smiled and said, "You really took great pains not to admit that you were stupid."

Si Ma !”

Everyone ignored him and continued to observe the map.

Lu Mingyu asked: "Is there a possibility that even the fortune teller doesn't know where the eighth position is, otherwise he would not leave clues."

Changsun Tao said: "It's very possible."

Lu Mingyu added: "I think Rihe alone cannot leave this information under the eyes of Emperor Shitian, and the person who reminded us of this information is Wu Ti. Maybe Wu Ti is secretly helping Rihe. maybe."

Xie Yun said: "According to what you said, Wu Ti had to obey the orders of Emperor Shitian because Xiaolanhua was held hostage by Emperor Shitian. If he had already turned against Emperor Shitian, then it would be unreasonable for him to help Rihe and leave a message. It’s not impossible.”

Lu Mingyu frowned: "I have never been able to figure out how Wu Ti died. He was not even afraid of the poison of Mingzhu and Huihui. How could such a person die just because he wanted to?"

Lan Lingling, who had been playing with her fingers, said: "I know why he died."

Everyone looked at her: "Huh?"

Lan Lingling said frustratedly: "It's because I didn't master the soul-killing Gu well enough and missed important information. I've been thinking about it these past few days, and I didn't know the reason until today."

She looked at everyone, her dejected expression seemed to tell everyone that she didn't want to admit that she was worse than Hong Jiang.

But in the end, she still explained: "Evolution Gu is divided into male and female, and soul-destroying Gu is also divided into male and female. As long as one of them is killed, the other one will explode and die."

"It must have been that Emperor Shitian crushed the other Gu to death, which caused the one in Wu Ti's body to explode, causing a reverse flow of true energy, and that's why Wu Ti was killed."

Lu Mingyu said: "No wonder Emperor Shitian is so confident. It turns out that he still has this method to control the chess pieces."

"It's just that Wu Ti was a big helper to him. How could he take Wu Ti's life? Could it be that he knew about Wu Ti's rebellious intentions?"

Changsun Tao said: "There must be a reason for Wu Ti's death."

"I know the reason." Sima Xuanmo, who was in seclusion, suddenly opened the door and prepared to tell everyone a shocking secret.
