Ye Lan was already proficient in Xuanmen magic, and his ancient martial arts realm was unfathomable.
Having her as the examiner and reviewing the questions in advance was already a bug, so Wu Heng, upon hearing this, also carefully observed the ordinary courtyard.
Soon, he frowned in confusion and looked at the sky. "The sun seems different."
"The sun? What's different about it? Isn't there only one sun in the sky?" The youngest child looked up but could not see anything.
Ye Lan nodded, a hint of relief in his eyes. "Indeed, another reason why this Bagua formation is so complex is the refraction of light. This place is always shrouded in mist, and the light that passes through the gaps in the clouds and falls into the yard is irregular. Depending on the amount of light and the different corners, the pebbles on the ground with strong magnetic fields will combine to create thousands of psychedelic effects, disrupting vision and making it impossible to recognize."
This is why those people discussed for a long time outside the door, but were still confused and lost after entering.
But even if you know this, it will be useless if you don't have a way to crack it.
Ye Lan didn't say anything, and Wu Heng didn't ask either. He just continued to observe the situation in the courtyard.
A few minutes later, he came to his second conclusion, "The yard is not clean."
"What?" The youngest child beside him was startled. He looked at the empty ground without even a speck of trash, and instantly hugged his helpless body and trembled. "Did you see something dirty?"
As soon as Ye Lan heard it, he knew that the two were talking about different things, so he gestured to Wu Heng to speak first.
Wu Heng rarely spoke, and after a while he organized his words before slowly explaining, "The whole yard is very clean, except for that place..."
The youngest looked into the yard in the direction of his finger and saw an osmanthus tree planted in the southwest corner. At this time, there were indeed many tiny petals fallen on the ground, scattered around the tree.
"It's normal for this kind of tree to keep shedding its flowers. Maybe we haven't had time to clean it yet." He didn't think there was a problem because the place was really inconspicuous.
But Wu Heng shook his head and moved his finger to the door and other places, "It's clean here and there."
The youngest looked down at his feet and realized something was wrong.
There is also a row of osmanthus trees planted in front of the door to provide shade, and the fragrance is overwhelming. However, even the places where pedestrians walk are cleaned very well, but the courtyard is not cleaned.
If they forgot, there were obvious signs of cleaning in other places in the courtyard.
"What's going on?" The youngest scratched his head and began to be confused.
Wu Heng also knew one side of the story but not the other.
Seeing this, Ye Lan raised the corners of his lips slightly and said calmly, "Any formation has a way to break it, commonly known as the formation's core. It's like the illusion of a ladder climbing a cloud. The formation's core is an inconspicuous stone. As long as your mind is strong enough, you can grasp it and not be deceived."
Almost every new student who comes to take the Xuanzong entrance examination will learn these basic attempts, so she can't be considered to have revealed the questions.
Wu Heng knew she was trying to give him a hint, so he pondered it carefully for a long time. After a while, he raised his head and said with a firm gaze, "I understand."
Then he walked past the crowd and headed straight towards the gate.
Seeing him go in without saying anything, the youngest was a little worried, "He knows everything without even discussing it with us, is this okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone sneer not far away.
The youngest looked over in the direction of the sound, but the other party quickly looked away, obviously afraid of the Xiao family.
But although they didn't say it, disdain and ridicule were clearly written on those people's faces, because they just saw Wu Heng enter after being guided by the girl.
If you trust a young girl, you will end up dying in vain.
Deep down, they had already determined that Wu Heng would fail, so they were not in a hurry to go in, but chose to stand in front of the fence and watch the fun.
After Wu Heng entered the door, he ran forward like a bull, with his eyes closed and without even braking.
When the group saw him rushing around, they all chuckled and started discussing.
"If the Bagua formation was so easy to break, Xuanzong's threshold would have been broken long ago."
"You thought you could get away with it by closing your eyes, but people have been prepared for this trick for a long time."
"Just watch, he'll only get more dizzy later."
…
Before the voice fell, a splash was heard in the yard and the boy fell into the water.
Xuanzong's courtyard is built in the style of Jiangnan water town, with small bridges, flowing water, rockery and strange rocks. Although there are not many of them, they are small and exquisite. There is a small stream across the middle of the Bagua formation.
Wu Heng was standing in the water at this moment, his pants were all wet by the splashing sparks, and his eyes slowly opened.
What comes into view is the flat ground in the courtyard and pebbles of various heights.
He climbed ashore, and for a moment he could not tell the direction because of the dazzle of the rocks illuminated by the sunlight. There were only hazy light and shadows flashing before his eyes, and even the lines were distorted.
"vomit……"
Even though Wu Heng, who grew up in the mountains and had a strong mentality, could not hold on. He felt dizzy and knelt on the ground, retching.
Seeing this, the group of people outside the yard began to lower their voices and make sarcastic remarks.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. The reflection from the stone is already deadly, and now it's splashed with water. It's like a shattered mirror. The dizziness effect is more than a thousand times greater."
"I don't know who came up with this bad idea..."
A few of them secretly glanced at the girl standing in front of the fence not far away, and their eyes fell on the tall and handsome Xiao Yunting beside her, and they subconsciously curled their lips.
The person in charge of the Xiao family is so blind that he actually uses such a young girl as a consultant and ignores these experienced and skilled people. Sooner or later, he will fall into trouble.
At this time, only the young man with a bruised face and nose huddled at the back remained silent.
He hunched his shoulders and listened to the whispers in front of him. He was very sure that Ye Lan and others could hear it, but based on their domineering personalities, if they didn't care now, they might be harboring bad intentions.
Thinking of this, he secretly moved away from the group in front...
At this time, the retching sounds in the yard had stopped. Wu Heng struggled to get up, stood in place, and began to move his toes slightly, changing direction.
People outside the courtyard saw this and couldn't help but wonder, "What is he doing? He's not just gossiping, is he? There's a small bridge, rockery, and lotus pond in the back."
Just one tenth of the journey is already so difficult, let alone the rest of the way.
So they discussed for a long time before coming up with the idea of working together and passing the test in the form of a relay race.
The boy's condition now means he is destined to die young.
As they were thinking this, they suddenly saw Wu Heng move.
He seemed to be exerting force on his feet, and he closed his eyes again. After stabilizing his shaky figure for two seconds, he suddenly rushed forward...
"What the hell is he doing? He doesn't have to commit suicide like this."
Everyone saw that there was an osmanthus tree facing that direction. The tree was lush and leafy and looked to be hundreds of years old. The trunk was surrounded by a circle of granite for protection. The teenager could not stop the car and crashed into it head-on, which would have resulted in a murder.
Just as everyone was sighing with regret for his impending death, he suddenly stopped, slowed down his pace, opened his eyes, and stopped steadily next to the circle of trees.
