Chapter 1667 Rebellion against Tiangang
Bai Ziqi asked another question: "When did he change to this Spirit Wind Formation?"
"Not long ago." The palace guard thought carefully, "It seems to be nine or ten days ago? Because the changes were made in a hurry and the workload was huge, my colleagues had some complaints privately."
"Ten days ago?" Bai Ziqi's eyes flickered. "In other words, I just met He Xiao in Tianshui City, and he immediately went to change the formation?"
The connection between the two shows that He Xiao's formation was probably tailor-made for Bai Ziqi!
Because He Xiao had no intention of staying in Tianshui City to take over Emperor Liujiang, setting up this formation was just a superficial effort.
However, since it was created by He Xiao, even the surface work is not simple.
Did he start planning this at that time?
After thinking this through, everyone remained silent for a long time.
When counting all the opponents that Envoy Baidu has hunted down, apart from Master Qingyang, it seems that this guy named He is the most difficult to deal with and the most capable of causing trouble!
To be on the safe side, Bai Shiqi suggested: "Sir, let's separate the records."
At this time, we can only use the stupid method, that is, everyone disperses and draws manually.
Bai Ziqi made a short "hush" sound, showing impatience. At the same time, he observed the formation diagram and counted secretly with one hand.
As soon as this action came out, everyone knew that Envoy Bai had made an important discovery and no one dared to disturb him.
Then, next to the battle formation drawn by the palace guard, Bai Ziqi stretched out his hand and drew another one:
The Tiangang formation of Baimao Mountain was created by the immortal Qianhuan.
He drew very quickly, and it was obvious that he had already mastered the formation.
After finishing the painting, he stood between the two formations, looking at this and that, lost in thought.
Why did He Xiao also leave behind a Tiangang Transformation Formation, and it only had thirty-five numbers?
These two formations...what is the connection between these two formations?
No one expected that Bai Ziqi would be in a daze for half an hour!
The guards of the Heavenly Palace did not dare to move, knowing that this was a critical moment. Anyone who dared to interrupt Bai Dushi's thoughts would suffer the consequences.
Even the prying eyes in the jungle did not leave.
At this time, the palace guards were tired of standing and changed their posture. The rustling sound of their boots on the snow was particularly abrupt in this quiet place.
Everyone glared at him.
Bai Ziqi seemed to have just woken up from a dream, his eyes were refocused, and he regained his spirit. He pointed at the picture drawn by the palace guard and said, "There is nothing wrong with using the spirit gathering formation to collect the Emperor's fluid. Now, look at the formation on this picture, the number and position are all correct, but there is only one missing number."
There are certain rules in human memory, which are called fuzzy shadows. If one remembers wrongly, then all of them are wrong. If this palace guard remembered wrongly, it is impossible for him to be accurate in all 35, without any error, but to miss only one.
"This is not a mistake, but He Xiao did it on purpose." Bai Ziqi continued, "The reason why the Tiangang formation on Baimao Mountain is weird is that it is a modified formation, and some of the formations are not in their original positions. We even added it at the end. It actually has thirty-seven numbers, one more than the real Tiangang formation."
Everyone was also observing the formation on the ground. Bai Shiqi exclaimed, pointing at the Tiangang Transformation Formation drawn by Bai Ziqi and said:
"My Lord, the formation diagram seems to be different from what I remember. The positions of two of the formations have changed."
"Good, very careful." Bai Ziqi praised him. "After leaving Xiaoyao Sect, about a month and a half later, I asked people to sneak into Baimao Mountain to calculate again, and found that two of the numbers were no longer in the positions we recorded at the time, which shows that they are not fixed. I have studied them for so long, and I estimate that they probably change with the seasons, and even with the stars in the sky. Now it is early spring, they should be in this position."
His face was solemn as he spoke word by word: "These two numbers are called 'variables'!"
"The changes in the White Hair Mountain Tiangang Formation were caused by them!"
When the servant boy heard this, he couldn't help but say, "That Tiangang Formation has thirty-seven numbers, while the one in Yongquan Villa has thirty-five numbers."
Neither of these two Tiangang formations is the original one, and they both look awkward.
"Yes, from the perspective of individual formations, they are all unbalanced. What do you think?"
Before anyone in the Heavenly Palace could reply, the palace guard was stunned and said subconsciously, "One more on one side, one less on the other side. Could it be that the 'variable' jumped over?"
The page glared at him and said, "Shut up!"
However, the palace guard received a compliment from Bai Ziqi: "Exactly!"
Bai Ziqi added: "Not only can they jump over, they can even jump back! These two formations are interrelated and contrasting with each other, and can be seen as a whole."
Everyone found it incredible.
This "variable" appeared in two unrelated formations...?
These two "Tiangang Formations", one is located in Baimao Mountain and the other is in Yongquan Villa, thousands of miles apart in geographical location.
One was created by Master Qianhuan, and the other was set up by He Xiao, spanning a long period of time.
Why can these two formations form a control group?
Bai Ziqi was also a little excited: "In fact, these two Tiangang formations are both variable formations - let's call them Xiaoyao Formation and Yongquan Formation - each formation has a variable, adding up to two!"
"When we rushed to Baimao Mountain, the two variables happened to be in Xiaoyao Formation, which was equivalent to the variable of Yongquan Formation jumping over. Therefore, Xiaoyao Formation had thirty-seven numbers, while Yongquan Formation only had thirty-five numbers. According to my calculations—" He took out two tree seeds from Xiaoyao Formation and put them into Yongquan Formation, "in exactly seventy-two days, these two variables will most likely jump into Yongquan Formation. At that time, the situation will be reversed, with Yongquan Formation having thirty-seven numbers and Xiaoyao Formation having thirty-five numbers."
When everyone heard this, although no one exclaimed "Wow", they all looked amazed.
What a strange array design.
But why did He Xiao create the Yongquan Formation to echo the Xiaoyao Formation?
"I want to find the cave of Qianhuan Zhenren. I went to the North Sea but failed many times. I couldn't even find the door. The reason is that the Xiaoyao Formation is not complete at all. It lacks the Yongquan Formation as a reference!"
A wake-up call!
These two formations must be compared together to be understood. Qian Huan Zhenren did not want the Heavenly Palace to follow the clues and find him out, so he only set up a variation formation in Baimao Mountain.
Even someone as smart as Bai Ziqi would most likely make a wrong guess if there is insufficient information.
He subconsciously used a branch to poke the formation diagram on the ground, and with a snap, the branch, which was as thick as his middle finger, broke.
How could a dignified Duyun Envoy not be able to control his strength? Bai Ziqi was only calm on the surface, but in fact he was extremely excited!
Everyone in the Heavenly Palace looked at each other in bewilderment. This time, it was Bai Shiqi who couldn't help himself: "Master Dushi means that He Xiao completed another formation for us so that you can figure out the position of Master Qianhuan?"
"That's right!" Bai Ziqi said seriously, "Although I don't know what he intended to do, he actually did it."
"I just recalled that these two formations can indeed be combined into one, forming a number of seventy-two, and then introducing infinite changes, which is the Earth Demon Formation!" He said word by word, "In ancient times, there was indeed a Earth Demon Formation, but after the catastrophe of heaven and earth, the stars shifted, and this formation has been lost for a long time, so it can no longer be seen. He Xiao set up the formation, not in the form of the Earth Demon Formation, but in the meaning of the Earth Demon Formation, which is to convey the secret message to me."
If someone else came, they would have no idea what He Xiao was doing.
The more Bai Ziqi studied, the more he felt that He Xiao was a mystery.
What on earth did He Xiao want to do? He actually hinted/guided him to the hiding place of Master Qianhuan!
Isn't he from Lingshan? Why does he want to harm Master Qianhuan?
Could it be that there was an internal conflict in Lingshan?
Or is this a pure trap?
"Okay, let's not talk about the Earthly Evil Formation. Let's just look at the connection between these two Heavenly Formations. Because of the existence of two variables, the formation will undergo periodic changes. And this process——"
Bai Ziqi's eyes were sharp: "It's called 'Reverse the Heavenly Gang'!"
The periodic horizontal jumps of the two variables will cause the situation to reverse. Sometimes the Yongquan Formation is filled, and sometimes the Xiaoyao Formation is filled.
It is also called Dao Fan Tian Gang.
"You have seen the variables of the formation. But you have not discovered the other variable hidden in it—" Bai Ziqi's eyes lit up, "That is time!"
He then said: "Let me ask you, when will these two formations return to balance?"
Back to balance?
This question was not difficult, and the servant boy thought without hesitation: "When the two variables return to their original positions, and both arrays have a number of thirty-six, they should be balanced, right?"
Otherwise, the two formations would be top-heavy, with one being heavy and the other light.
"That's right! The two formations periodically reverse each other, but there must be a period of stability in the middle." Bai Ziqi picked a tree seed from the Yongquan Formation and placed it in the Xiaoyao Formation.
In this way, the two formations are symmetrical, and both are the number thirty-six!
"According to the secret report that the Heavenly Palace received a long time ago, this cycle is five years, and this period of stability is only about ten days!"
Everyone looked confused, not knowing where this conversation came from.
Fortunately, Bai Ziqi immediately explained to them: "These ten days are the opening days of the Qianhuan Zhenren Cave!"
"After ten days, the Tiangang formation was reversed again, and the cave was naturally closed again."
The Heavenly Palace holds the clue that the cave of Master Qianhuan, "The Line Between Sea and Sky", is located in the Upside-Down Sea. It opens once every five years and each time it opens, it lasts for ten days.
"Since I know that the two formations are inverted and complement each other, I can deduce the target's location from the existing clues!" Bai Ziqi picked up a branch and poked it lightly between the two formations.
"Upside down, this is the Upside Down Sea!"
"Sixty-two days later, the Qianhuan Zhenren Cave will be open for ten days!"
He is finally going to find the lair of Master Qianhuan!
Everyone bowed and saluted, saying in unison: "Congratulations, Lord Dushi!"
This mystery has troubled Bai Ziqi for several months and was finally solved today.
He took a deep breath, and the night air became fresher.
"Let's talk about the mystery in Yongquan Villa. The calculation methods of the two formations are the same." Bai Ziqi pointed at the Yongquan formation on the ground, "Now He Xiao's formation is missing a variable. The thirty-six has become thirty-five. So it's very simple. As long as we find the missing 'one', we can find what he hid."
"I ask you, where did this 'one' hide?"
