Chapter 40: Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation

The city lord's mansion is tall and brilliant, occupying one-sixth of the Gucheng area. Although the scale is not as large as the Luoyang Imperial Palace, it is much larger than the ordinary royal residences of the Han Dynasty, and its exquisiteness is even greater than that of the Luoyang Imperial Palace. Fortunately, this is a Pegasus Ranch, and no one thinks it is suspected of being usurped.

Although there are all people in Gucheng, both high-level and ordinary civilians have no deep understanding of the Han Dynasty, and no one takes the Han court seriously. They are a group of complete rebels.

Even Xu Huang, a person who wanted to be loyal to the Han Dynasty at the beginning, was infected by Huangfu Jian's thoughts and became a die-hard fan of Huangfu Jian and forgot the Han Dynasty.

In front of the city lord's mansion is a giant square that can accommodate tens of thousands of people. A golden dragon statue that is about to fly in the air stands in the center of the square. The statue is about twenty feet high, and it seems to be about to ride the wind. Its image is realistic and infinite. It is the tallest building of Gucheng and can be seen in any corner of the city.

A plaza with a height of five zhang and a diameter of ten zhang is built in the square, for inspection and worship.

Behind the general's platform, climbed up the steps and passed the thirty-six marble steps. It was the government office of each competent department in Gucheng. The largest and most magnificent building in the middle was the office office of the city lord, and it was also the place where the city lord usually summoned all his ministers to discuss political affairs - the Iron Tile Silver Heart Hall.

There is an eight-horse scattered road on both sides of the government office to connect the city lord's mansion and the military road. When the red horse was about to sail onto the scattered road, Huangfu Jian stopped and ordered everyone who was accompanying him: "Mr. Jia Xu just stay and accompany me. Everyone should go with their own things! I will pay homage to the master later. I have no time to entertain everyone today."

Everyone agreed and dispersed. Jia Xu led the way, Huangfu Jian and a group of personal guards followed behind and walked towards Huangfu Jian's mansion. Mr. Guiguzi usually stayed in seclusion and usually did not participate in city affairs. Only Jia Xu could meet from time to time, so Jia Xu was quite familiar with the situation in the city lord's mansion.

Strictly speaking, the city lord's mansion is octagonal, with high walls and deep walls on the periphery. Each high wall is opened according to the Bagua formation, with a total of eight gates: rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, and opening. The two roads are connected to the city lord's mansion in a week, ensuring the smooth road of the city lord's mansion.

The eight gates correspond to the eight formations. Each formation is a building. The eight buildings have different shapes and unique characteristics. They guard the central palace where Huangfu Jian lives like stars holding the moon. The entire mansion is built according to the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation. However, the formation structure here is much more complex than what Huangfu Jian was familiar with before. Each courtyard is full of mechanism traps, and the mysterious forest is hidden in it. If you are not careful, you will get lost in the maze, or touch the mechanism traps and fall into danger.

Before I was familiar with the formation map, even Huangfu Jian did not dare to break in easily.

The eight-formed buildings vary in size, covering an area of ​​between ten hectares and dozens of hectares, each with its own characteristics.

Shengmen corresponds to the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, the lake and mountains, the small bridges and flowing water, and the beautiful scenery.

The wounded gate corresponds to the Qifeng Valley, and the road is very rugged and difficult to pass.

Dumen corresponds to the waterway and lake, crossing and crossing, and fish sings come and go.

The scenery gate corresponds to the scenery of the desert, and the sunset is set in the long river.

The gate of death corresponds to a thousand miles of desert, a lonely smoke from thousands of miles of land, without any hope.

Jingmen corresponds to the grassland outside the border, with wind blowing the grass low and endless.

The door opened corresponds to the passionate battlefield of the golden sword and iron horses. The drums of war rumble, the people called horses and the golden swords fought each other.

Xiumen corresponds to a valley where flowers bloom, with the fragrance of flowers soaring, and it is like being intoxicated.

Each palace has a military field and a military camp. Each military camp can house 500 soldiers. The pavilions and corridors are connected between the palaces, the roads are connected, and the offense and defense are mutually responsive, which can move the whole body with one move.

Accompanied by Jia Xu, Huangfu Jian entered from Shengmen and passed a tree-lined avenue to the central palace.

The Central Palace buildings cover an area of ​​hundreds of hectares, with pavilions and towers rising and falling, and winding.

The main hall in the middle is called Dongyuan, which is Huangfu Jian’s residence. It is about five feet high and has three floors. Golden nanmu is the pillars, green jade stone is the steps, horn tiles are the roofs, and carved beams and jade. The residences on each floor are decorated with magnificent, noble and elegant, setting off the owner’s identity.

There is a large garden behind the East Garden. The small mountains and lakes are intersecting, pavilions and towers are connected, and there are many flowers, plants and trees. It is now May in the spring, with pink and green willows full of vitality, and there is a sign of the recovery of the earth everywhere. Huangfu Jian, who has lived in the military camp for almost seven years, stepped into this place and felt like he entered the fairyland of Langyuan. He couldn't help but linger, feeling that he would never do anything to do in the world.

There is a small lake in the garden, named Xi Lake, and the living water of Yinxi River is built. There is a pavilion called Lotus Viewing Pavilion. The lotus leaves on the lake are connected by the blue sky, and lotus flowers stand in the water. Fish play with each other, and thousands of weeping willows on the shore are reflected. The water of Xi River comes from the ice peaks of the Jitou Mountains. The river water is warm in winter and cool in summer. The lotus Viewing Pavilion has become a good place to escape the summer heat.

There is a high platform on the top of a hill in the Central Palace, and a high tower is built on it, which is the highest place in the entire city lord's mansion. Standing on the high tower, overlooking the scenery of the eight palaces, the situation in the central palace is clearly visible. There is a giant war drum, a giant bell, an eight-color flag flag, and an eight-color palace lantern at the top of the tower. Military soldiers are stationed day and night, which is where the eight-color flag flags are located. Once the formation is attacked, the eight-color flag flags are directed in the day, and the eight-color palace lanterns are echoed at night, and the drum beats and bells are issued to give orders.

The Central Palace not only has a large school military field, but also a military camp that can garrison 1,000 troops. It also has a large ranch for war horses throughout the mansion.

After gaining a general understanding of the Nine Palaces, Huangfu Jian was surprised and admired the unparalleled wisdom of the old man Guigu. If he hadn't taken action, no one in this world could have built the mansion into such a magnificent formation.

Huangfu Jian left Hua Xiong and the two hundred guards to guard the central palace. Princess Jieyou, Yan Xing, Tie Ying and Shi Hun were Huangfu Jian's close servants. They had to take care of his daily life, so of course they were all stayed. The other eight hundred guards were led by "Heizi" Cheng Yi and Xu Huang to replace the defense of the eight outer formations.
