Chapter 300 - Looking for the Grave of Marquis Wu (1/2)

In a wilderness, Wang Bugui and others walked far away.

“Fatty, is this really the grave of the prime minister? Let alone small animals, I can’t even find any bugs,” Zhao Changge looked around and uttered.

“Of course it is. The prime minister even reckoned that I would come. He left me a stone and told me to rush to Juyongguan. Otherwise, I wouldn’t come here,” Yu Wude said with his hands crossed in front of chest.

Then, he took out the black stone. Everyone gathered to take a look and found that it was really a prophetic stone. Even Fatty’s name was predicted. Amazing!

“Then don’t waste time here. Let’s quickly find the prime minister’s resting place, and figure out those strange things,” Lyu Hao urged.

“Right. But you have to stay back. If the prime minister has set the Eight Diagram Tactics, we’ll all suffer.” Yu Wude nodded.

Then he asked everyone to step back and pulled Wang Bugui to the front.

“What? Are you using me as a shield!?” Wang Bugui asked loudly.

“I wouldn’t dare! I just think that your body is powerful, which can help us turn calamities into blessings. Let’s share weal and woe. You rush to the front, and I can be given time to calculate.”

Yu Wude grinned and replied shamelessly. As he spoke, he withdrew behind Wang Bugui while pushing Wang Bugui forward, looking indecent.

“Fine, you use me as a meat shield, Fatty! If I don’t teach you a lesson after going back, you will want more!” Wang Bugui rolled up his sleeve and said angrily.

But he didn’t object and was pushed forward by Yu Wude, who had a bad smile. When they reached a certain spot, a big Eight Diagram Tactics appeared at their feet.

“Qian and Kun are attached. Heaven and earth merge into one. The four images are led. Eight directions are determined. The reclining dragon appears now!”

Yu Wude, looking solemn, chanted the Taoist sounds, released his Innate Prana Power from his fingertips, and distributed it in eight directions to activate the array. In less than a minute, tens of thousands of accurate calculations were made.

Every calculation could get rid of some mazes here and narrow the scope. Then he targeted a location and penetrated his Innate Prana Power into the earth. But there was a strong force in it to prevent him from calculating.

That was not the location where he dug out the stone. In fact, Yu Wude had already thought about it. The prime minister was full of wisdom. Since he predicted that Yu Wude would come to him, it would not be so easy for him to be found.

After calculating, Yu Wude found that there was really no mausoleum in the place where the stone was buried. Now, the power to fight against him must come from the real burial place of the prime minister. It contained not only strong spiritual strength, but also the power of heaven and earth.

And it was so powerful. He didn’t believe that there was no big formation here. Those forces were too strong and confused Yu Wude in finding the wrong place and weakened his array strength at the same time.

“Yiyi!”

Yu Wude blushed and gritted his teeth to shout. Hearing the call, Shangguan Yiyi immediately came to him and began to perform martial arts with him.

“Everyone, give them spiritual strength to help them!” Wang Bugui screamed with a frown.

Then, he took the lead to inject his spiritual strength into Yu Wude and Shangguan Yiyi. The others followed him from behind.

“Buzz!”

But at this time, a huge doctrine array rose from the ground, which was made of ordinary gravel. But the spiritual strength it contained was terrifying.

“The Eight Diagram Tactics?!” Yu Wude shouted in surprise.

It was said that Zhuge Liang had used random stones to form a stone formation when he had been fighting against his enemies. The formation had eight gates, known as Sheng, Shang, Xiu, Du, Jing, Si, Jing and Kai, according to the Dunjia, a school of ancient Chinese sorcery. It was changeable and could block a hundred thousand elite soldiers.

Then, Yu Wude began to observe the Eight Diagram Tactics of wind with his memory. He found that the array was almost identical to the Eight Diagram Tactics. It was certain that this was the Eight Diagram Tactics that Zhuge Liang modified according to the Eight Diagram Tactics of wind.

“What? The Eight Diagram Tactics is really here! Can we break it?” Shangguan Yiyi frowned and asked.

Yu Wude shook his head, replying, “It’s not easy to say. If the prime minister wants to fight us, I’m afraid it’ll difficult for us to break it. After all, the Eight Diagram Tactics is his life’s work and can be traced back to the reign of the Yellow Emperor.

“It was first known as the Five Tactics of the Yellow Emperor, and then the Taigong Tactics of Jiang Taigong, and then the Five-element Tactics of Sima Rangju. Guan Zhong reconstructed the Taigong Tactics, and then Sun Zi improved it and changed it into the Eight Diagram Tactics.

“Based on the continuous improvement by these elders and sages, the prime minister finally made this array reach its peak in the Three Kingdoms period, which is the Eight Diagram Tactics that we see today!

“The eight tactics are arranged with the post-celestial eight diagrams chart, and each of them is composed of six small arrays, which goes with the Six Yaos mentioned in The Book of Changes.

“There are a total of 64 small arrays in the eighth tactic, which are in accordance with the 64 diagrams of The Book of Changes. They absorbed the arrangement and combination of the field system and the Taoist Eight Diagrams, which is also compatible with astrogeography.

“It seems that the Eight Diagram Tactics we knew before is not the complete one that the prime minister created. The one we see now may be genuine. Such a mysterious array requires careful analysis!”

What he said puzzled everyone. But since this array involved the Yellow Emperor and was a combination of The Book of Changes and the post-celestial Eight Diagrams, it must not be simple!
