Chapter 406 The Formation of Eight Treasures

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The roads are overgrown with weeds, the trees on both sides have been cut down, and the thatched cottages are abandoned, which is a symbol of the country's weakness.

    When a country is strong, trees will be planted on both sides of the road. The trees are to mark the distance of the journey, and the thatched cottages are to entertain guests.  These need to be maintained and guarded by someone. When the national power declines, no one will be willing to maintain the roads anymore.  The same is true for waterways. There are no boats or bridges on the river, which also represents the decline of the country.

    When the state of Wu existed, the roads on Guoshe's side were accessible and the surrounding area was full of crops.  Nowadays, it is in a state of depression. The roads are covered with weeds and have no ruts. The bridges on the distant rivers are also dilapidated and cannot be reused.

    There is only a mound left of the Guoshe, and the buildings on it have long since disappeared, because no Wu people will come here to worship the ancestors of Wu again.

    Yunyao and Danji fell far away and did not approach rashly. Yunyao used her clairvoyance and discovered that a fighting formation had really been set up around the National Society: "Is this the Eight Treasures formation?"

    "I've never heard of it." Danji's eyesight was not as good as Yunyao's. She could only vaguely see something in the distance, but couldn't see clearly.

    "The Eight Treasures Formation is not a military formation, but a method used to select the chefs and doctors of the Wu Kingdom. Eight kinds of food are placed in the formation, four of which are poisonous and four are non-poisonous." Yunyao introduced  : "The chefs and doctors who accept the selection must choose food to eat. If they are not dead, they can enter the palace. If they die, they will be eliminated."

    Dan Ji said this was too weird: "There is no detoxification process? Is it just to distinguish whether food is poisonous?"

    ¡°It¡¯s really just about identifying whether food is poisonous or not.¡±

    "What kind of selection is this? If you have better luck, can you get through? There are four bowls of food and four bowls of poison among the eight bowls. The chance of passing safely is 50-50. It will not test your true skills at all." Dan Ji said  This selection method is not reliable at all. There is a half chance that you can get through it, and there is no need to have any skills at all.

    "It is true, but luck is also a part of strength. Have you heard the story of the Sangtian Witch? Jin Jinggong was ill, and the Sangtian Witch said that Jin Jinggong was seriously ill and would not see this year's new wheat. Jin Jinggong  He didn't believe it, so he asked a doctor from Qin to see a doctor, and he got the answer that he was seriously ill. Later, when the wheat harvest was good, Jin Jinggong asked people to cook new wheat. When he ate the new wheat, he could confidently kill the mulberry field witch.  Guess what happened in the end?"

    "Did Sangtian Wu be killed? No, since luck is also strength, Jin Jinggong must have died of illness." This was also the first time Dan Ji heard this story.

    "This year's new wheat has been cooked in the cauldron, but before eating, Jin Jinggong went to the toilet and fell into the pit and drowned. He really didn't eat any new wheat until his death." Yunyao said seriously: "This  That¡¯s the strength of a doctor.¡±

    "Pfft." Danji couldn't help but laugh. This story was too funny.  In the end, Jin Jinggong did not die of illness, but fell into a latrine and drowned. She said breathlessly: "Is this a doctor or a wizard? It's not medical skills at all, it's just blindness."

    "Doctors do have a lot of blindness. Doctor Qin Guo is more old-fashioned. He just said that the disease was terminal and did not say a specific time. Doctor Jin Guo was bolder and directly stated a time limit, but in the end he did not get it.  New wheat, so he is a little better than Qin's doctor." "So there is nothing wrong with Wu's Eight Treasures Formation. If you have strength, you can use your strength to distinguish poisonous from non-toxic. If you don't have strength, just rely on luck to pass."

    "Then can you identify poisons?"

    "Of course, I have been a cook for Guan Zhong and Confucius. Distinguishing poisons is a basic skill of a chef. To some extent, it is better than a doctor." Yunyao said.

    "Do you think there are any other arrangements? Have you seen the woman who rescued Qing Ji before leaving?"

    "I didn't see it, but I saw another fat man in Qingji Yaoli. If I guessed correctly, he should also be a Wu assassin, Zhuan Zhu." Yunyao said that it was really the League of Assassins.

    "Is that the guy who stabbed King Wu Liao with the fish intestine sword? That guy was not easy to deal with. I heard that he practiced 'killing one person in ten steps'. No one within ten steps can dodge his sword. It should be 'five shots'  For the same divine skill, it is said that even Pang Meng did not dare to go to Zhuanzhu because he was afraid of the special skill of 'killing one person in ten steps'." The marksman's five-shot skill is an otherworldly skill, and Zhuanzhu has mastered the same ability as the five-shot skill.  , can threaten the immortals.

    Yunyao did feel that Zhuan Zhu had a strong divine will in him. She had only seen it in Cao Mo before, but Cao Mo's divine will was the meaning of the Heavenly Sword, Zhongzheng Peace.  But Zhuan Zhu's divine will was full of murderous intent, which reminded Yunyao of the murderous intent he encountered when he was studying "Washing Hands and Fusang".

    There must be an expert behind Zhuanzhu, otherwise it would be impossible for a mortal to control this murderous aura.

    "ZhuanzhuThey must be together with the female monk who can use rainbow light.  " Yunyao guessed.

    It¡¯s a blessing, not a curse. It¡¯s a curse that cannot be avoided. Now we can only go out first and then say: ¡°Let¡¯s go and meet them.¡±

    The three male monks quickly noticed Yunyao and Dan Ji. They stood on the raised foundation of the National Society and looked down at the two women.

    It was already dusk, the clouds in the sky were burning like fire, and everyone's skin turned orange.

    "Where is Xi Shi?"

    "Senior sister has a destiny. You have to pass the Eight Treasures Formation to be eligible to see her." Pangpang Zhuanzhu said. As expected, the assassin would not be recognized as a killer at a glance.  Regardless of whether they are the fat Zhuan Zhu or the skinny Yao Li, at first glance, they don't look like killers, they both look like honest ordinary people, one looks like a fat chef, and the other looks like an old farmer.  If Yunyao hadn't been familiar with Wu's history, he wouldn't have recognized them.

    At this time, Qing Ji and Yao Li were not even qualified to speak. They were obviously completely under control, with Zhuan Zhu taking the lead.

    "I don't know which Taoist sect I am from? I am the God of Hundred Flowers in Heaven, Yunyao, disciple of Jiujiang Overlord. Please clarify, Taoist friend." Since Zhuanzhu is not a member of the Jingwei Alliance, he will communicate in the way of a monk. First,  Ask the other person their identity.

    "I am the disciple of Nanji Xianweng, Zhuanzhu."

    Yunyao's heart skipped a beat, and she understood a series of things: why the Jingwei Alliance wanted to go to the West to establish a country, and why such a powerful mysterious woman appeared in the mortal world.

    ¡°Obviously the Jingwei Alliance is heading west to avoid trouble.  Five hundred years have passed since the Conferment of Gods, and the management of various sects is no longer as strict as before, and the disciples of the great immortals have to go out to the mountains one after another.  As long as the Jingwei Alliance is not stupid, they will know that they have to keep a low profile now. If they offend the disciples of the Great Immortal, they will not even know how to die.

    The appearance of the disciples of the Antarctic Immortal made Yunyao realize that a long time had passed since the Conferred God War. The monks could not help but go out to stretch their muscles one after another, so evil organizations like the Jingwei Alliance had to keep a low profile.

    Yunyao felt unhappy. In the final analysis, he was easy to bully, so the Jingwei Alliance would find trouble for him again and again.  When the great immortal's disciples walked through the three realms, they didn't even dare to breathe, so they hurriedly hid in the west.

    "It's really unpleasant. The Jingwei Alliance's completely different attitude is so irritating. It's simply Hongguoguo's discrimination, and it doesn't take Yunyao seriously.

    Without comparison, there is no harm. Yunyao is very hurt now.

    The Antarctic Immortal is a powerful character. He helped Chan Jiao during the Conferred Gods War. Although he appeared infrequently, he was very powerful.

    "Since she is a disciple of the Immortal Old Man, why should she bully a weak woman like Xi Shi?" Yunyao said, "It's better to let her go. I will definitely come to thank you someday."

    "Xi Shi committed the crime of destroying the country in Wu, and she was not a weak woman." He said this again, but Zhuan Zhu did not say that he must kill Xi Shi, but said: "If you can see my senior sister through the Eight Treasures Formation, you can  You can go talk to her yourself."

    Yunyao sighed and said: "Okay, I will know your Eight Treasures Formation."
