Chapter 212 It Cracked
Urban planning, especially in ancient times, was nothing more than the division of blocks in the shape of squares.
And what appeared in front of Ji Han at this time was actually a city that was nested in a ring, one ring after another until the center of the city.
Qiezi was surprised:
"Is this city planning too advanced? Did they start building the Fifth Ring Road at that time?"
Ji Han also felt a little puzzled. The transportation in ancient times was not so convenient. Most of them went straight. This was the first time he saw such a circular design.
So he turned back and asked Chen Ke:
"Chen Ke, do you know which dynasty had such a structure?"
"Don't make fun of me, brother Ji. If this city is announced, the history of ancient urban planning will probably be rewritten."
Relying on the afterglow of the lighting arrows that had not been extinguished, Ji Han looked carefully at both sides. He saw that the buildings formed a circular building complex that progressed in a circle, and there were many gaps of different sizes on each ring. The gaps were very neat and seemed to be artificially formed.
Looking at those regular gaps, Ji Han seemed to think of something.
Could it be?
Thinking of this, Ji Han climbed to a higher top of the city and climbed to the top of the city with the help of the demon tentacles.
Looking at the circular city structure again, Ji Han suddenly understood what it was, so he explained:
"No, that's not a circular road, it's the Eight Diagrams! This city is built according to the Eight Diagrams!"
"Eight Diagrams?"
When the three heard it, they didn't quite believe it, but they climbed up and looked back.
As Ji Han said, the gaps between the houses were evenly arranged, and they were clearly arranged according to the hexagrams.
Chen Ke said in disbelief:
"That's not right, Brother Ji, the construction style of this city is the Qin and Han Dynasties, and Mr. Zhuge Kongming developed the Eight Diagrams in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, so it's useless."
The light of the illuminating arrows gradually went out, and the city in front of him fell into darkness again.
Ji Han was also confused:
What Chen Ke said was right, the time didn't match, could it be that Zhuge Kongming stole the construction drawings here and designed the Eight Diagrams?
Don't be funny, you can't insult Prime Minister Zhuge even if you can't figure it out yourself.
Song Qian suggested:
"Brother Ji, could this be built according to the Eight Diagrams instead of the Eight Arrays?"
Ji Han patted his head and said:
"Yes, yes, that makes sense. I was prejudiced. This may be a city built according to the ancient Eight Diagrams."
Eggplant asked:
"Then cities were not built according to the Eight Diagrams in ancient times, right? That's not convenient."
Chen Ke added hesitantly:
"I do know of one situation. When I was in college, I heard that the school used to be a cemetery. So in order to suppress the evil things there, the school's teaching buildings and dormitories were arranged according to the simple Eight Diagrams. The flowerbed in the middle was also made into a Tai Chi shape. So do you think the structure here is to suppress some evil things?"
When Chen Ke said this, he leaned against the city wall and seemed to be frightened by his own thoughts.
Seeing this, Ji Han comforted him:
"Okay, don't scare yourself. When all the schools tell ghost stories at night, they all say that they used to be cemeteries."
Ji Han took the lead and walked down from the city wall, thinking that he was just wondering about the structure of the city, and he didn't want to scare everyone.
If you really encounter the Eight Arrays, it must be difficult to walk in and out, but it is definitely not easy based on the time calculation.
So Chen Ke's words that there might be something unlucky suppressed here did make Ji Han a little scared.
Because according to the ancient people's thinking, this is indeed reasonable.
Sacrificing the convenience of the people of the whole city to build the Eight Diagrams, what on earth made them go to such great lengths?
"By the way, Song Qian, is there any response from the God Pillar Detector?"
Next, we have to walk into this ancient Eight Arrays city. Although we have drones, we should not get lost, but we still need to confirm the direction.
Song Qian took out a radar the size of a cup lid and said:
"It is impossible to confirm the exact location, but the weak signal shows that it should be in front."
"Then let's go, everyone keep an eye on the changes in the surroundings."
When Ji Han thought of the Eight Formations, he was a little afraid that he would get lost in it.
The four of them walked down the city gate and were about to walk along the gravel street towards the center of the Eight Formations.
The last eggplant said "Hmm?"
"What's wrong?"
Eggplant raised his gun and shone the flashlight at the city gate behind him:
"Damn, it seems something is wrong. Look, the direction of the charred corpse just now didn't seem to be facing this way, right?"
Ji Han and the other two looked back and saw that the charred corpse in the city gate, which had been struggling to reach out, turned around and stretched out its hands to Ji Han and the other four.
This time it was not a vague change, because all the corpses were facing the same direction, so everyone remembered it very clearly.
Turning around and looking at the stone road again, those charred corpses lying on the ground like big black spiders were still facing the direction of the city gate as before.
Ji Han asked curiously:
"There is no change in the corpses here. It seems that only the corpse in the city gate has problems."
Song Qian looked back and frowned:
"No, Brother Han, the corpse closest to us just now clearly raised its left hand, and you are looking at it now."
Ji Han turned around and saw that the corpse had raised its right hand.
Although Ji Han didn't care about the details of which hand was raised, after Song Qian's reminder, Ji Han also felt that the corpses were indeed closer to him than before he climbed the city gate.
Ji Han took a breath and asked:
"Could it be that these charred corpses are not facing the city gate at all, but the four of us?"
Eggplant asked:
"Don't analyze the situation first, what are you going to do? Do you want me to shoot the charred corpse?"
"It's better not to do it first. Don't do it easily without knowing the situation. Now we see that they don't seem to have changed. Maybe they will only move when you don't look at them, just like the blood-eyed flashing corpses we encountered before."
Scanning the charred corpses in front of him did not get any information.
Ji Han turned his head and looked at the houses around him. Those buildings were basically made of rubble and looked very solid, so he suggested:
"The situation is unclear. Try not to touch these corpses. Let's walk over the house."
Chen Ke immediately began to crawl towards the house next to him, seeming to be very resistant to these weird charred corpses.
The houses were very simple and crude, and the four of them quickly climbed up and moved along the top of the stone house towards the center of the ancient city.
After walking a long distance along the stone house, the four of them looked back cautiously and did not find any charred corpses climbing onto the roof, so they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when Ji Han thought he had escaped, Song Qian suddenly raised her hand and said:
"Hush, listen, there seems to be some sound."
Everyone stopped on the roof, and sure enough, there was a sound of something breaking around, just like an eggshell breaking, but the sound was much louder than that.
At first, Ji Han was still worried that Eggplant had lied about his weight, and there was a crack in the stone house under his feet, but he soon found that the sound came from the street next to him.
Song Qian moved lightly, walked to the edge of the stone roof in three steps and shone it down.
"Song Qian, what's going on down there?"
"Hiss, those charred corpses seem... seem to have cracked."
