These firecrackers won't kill anyone, nor will they collapse the mine; they're just loud toys. However, if they go off all at once, the consequences will be no different from those of small bombs.

She originally wanted to give a firecracker to each of Moyu and the others, and then have everyone light them together.

Unfortunately, no one here except Yun Qing knew how to use it, and she couldn't teach them in front of the enemy. Pointing them out one by one wouldn't have any deterrent effect.

She took the backpack from Yun Qing and unexpectedly found a bundle of thin ropes. What an unexpected surprise!

"Nuannuan, be careful!" Yun Qing was still worried and reminded her again.

"Don't worry! It'll be okay."

Mu Qingcheng pulled out the bundle of string from her backpack. She had twisted some of the leftover gunpowder from rolling firecrackers into some fuse. It had no real use, so she had just planned to light them for fun during the New Year. Unexpectedly, her unintentional act would prove so useful.

She handed the bundle of string to Moyu and turned her back to Kang Shao and the others.

Mu Qingcheng took out five more firecrackers and called Moyun, Mobing, and Mofeng over. Finally, she also called Doctor Ma over. The five of them formed a circle, and Mu Qingcheng whispered, "Cover your ears if you see fire."

No one understood what it meant, and Mu Qingcheng couldn't explain it, but the Dragon Shadow Guard's duty was to obey orders. Doctor Ma didn't quite trust this little girl, but he believed that Mu Qingcheng would not harm Yun Qing.

At this time, Yun Qing stood silently by, seemingly not caring about what they were doing, but her ears were always paying attention.

Yuan Shian couldn't understand what they were doing and felt something was wrong. "Brother Kang, why bother with so much trouble? Just get rid of them! With just those few gadgets in her hand, she thinks she can unlock this bronze door?"

Before Kang Shao could reply, Mu Qingcheng pinched her fingertips, looking mysterious and profound: "There is no mechanism in this world that I can't solve. It's just a bronze door!"

Kang Shao was a little impatient: "Then how do you solve this problem?"

Mu Qingcheng said: "All the mechanisms in the world are nothing more than the transformation of the Eight Diagrams Formation hidden in the Qimen Dunjia."

"Tsk! That's it!" Yuan Shi'an said with disdain: "I knew it when I was five years old."

Mu Qingcheng was unsure when she heard that she was not fooled. She could only bite the bullet and continue to make up stories: "Have you heard of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation? There is no other strange formation in the world that can surpass it."

"Haha!" Yuan Shi'an sneered, "Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation? Little girl, how old are you? Do you know what the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation is? Don't pretend to know it when you don't."

Yuan Shi'an has spent half his life studying the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams. Brilliant from a young age, he passed the imperial examinations at the age of twelve. From then on, his career progressed smoothly, and at eighteen, he was crowned the top scholar, becoming the youngest person in the Great Qi Kingdom to achieve this distinction.

He was so proud of his talent that he was thrown into the Hanlin Academy and only became a seventh-rank editor. He was very dissatisfied. His colleagues were all Jinshi or Tongjinshi. None of them could be worthy of being in the same company as him, the top scholar. Even his superior was only the 18th-rank Jinshi in the Jiazi year.

He was unwilling to give up! Back then, he had asked countless people for help before he had the honor of meeting the elegant and graceful Prince Shaojun. The moment he saw him, he made up his mind to follow the prince until his death. Only a figure like Prince Shaojun could match his talent.

He pledged his loyalty to the crown prince. However, for some reason, the crown prince simply smiled and left without saying anything. Later, he spent a considerable amount of money to learn from an intermediary that Crown Prince Shaojun had given him a four-character evaluation.

"Arrogant because of his talent!"

He couldn't understand why he, a man of great knowledge, had no place to use his talents. He should have been on the rise, but why no one gave him a chance? He could only stay in a small corner of the Hanlin Academy, compiling books that no one read.

Mu Qingcheng cursed Yuan Shi'an a hundred times in her heart, thinking that Mo Yu's kick just now was a little light, why didn't she just kick him unconscious? She continued to pinch her fingers and mutter to herself.

"The Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams formation, the upper trigrams are Heaven and Earth, Wind and Thunder, Mountain and Marsh, Water and Fire. These are called the Xiantian Eight Trigrams, and they are: Qian three connected, Kun six broken, Zhen an inverted bowl, Gen an inverted bowl, Li empty in the middle, Kan full in the middle, Dui missing at the top, and Xun broken at the bottom."

Yuan Shian narrowed his eyes slightly, repeated it silently in his mind, and suddenly his eyes lit up and asked Mu Qingcheng: "Little girl, do you know what will happen next?"

Mu Qingcheng knew he was intimidated, and pinched her hands proudly: "The latter hexagrams are about the complementary relationship between yin and yang, and the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements. They are called the Eight Trigrams of the Later Heaven. They are: one is Kan, two is Kun, three is Zhen, four is Xun, five is the center, six is ​​Qian, seven is Dui, eight is Gen, and nine is Li."

Yun Qing listened and shook his head and chuckled.

"Hiss!" Yuan Shi'an repeated in his mind, wondering which sect this girl belonged to. "This is the first time I've heard of this kind of arrangement. Girl, who did you learn this formula from?"

Mu Qingcheng felt proud. She had to thank our Zhu Wengong. It was estimated that his "The Original Meaning of Zhouyi" had not yet been published in this era.

"This is the secret method of my master's sect. Telling you this is already against the teachings of our ancestors. Do you still want to steal my skills?" The key point is that she can only recite these two paragraphs.

"You!" Yuan Shian gnashed his teeth in anger, but he couldn't refute it. This girl spoke very clearly, and others might not understand, but who was Yuan Shian? He knew immediately that this Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams formula was unusual.

Kang Shao was already getting impatient. He didn't care whether it was the Ninth Palace or the Eighth Palace. "Where is the mechanism room?"

Mu Qingcheng said angrily, "If you guys hadn't been asking all sorts of questions here, I would have figured it out a long time ago. Stand away and don't interrupt me."

Kang Shao and Yuan Shian were so angry that their faces turned blue. They could only shut up and retreat two feet.

The Dragon Shadow Guards all gave their Master Mu a thumbs up. It had to be their Master Mu.

Mu Qingcheng pretended to pinch her hands and walked around in front of the bronze door. She then chose an open space in the corridor to stand.

"That's it!"

Kang Shao and Yuan Shi'an hurried over to check. Mu Qingcheng stamped her feet and said angrily, "Everyone, step back! Who told you to come here? Be careful not to destroy the formation I set up."

Kang Shao and Yuan Shi'an obediently retreated.

"Mo Bing, come here and place my little paper tube here. Then tie a rope and give the other end of the rope to your master."

Mo Bing obeyed and walked a few steps forward, telling Mo Feng to do the same. Finally, the four of them formed a circle in the mine.

Mu Qingcheng walked back to Yun Qing with satisfaction and pulled Yun Qing's hand.

Yun Qing took advantage of the situation and lit the fuse behind him. Sparks flew everywhere. Soon, one end of the fuse had burned to Yun Qing's feet. The dark corridor would sooner or later be discovered. Mu Qingcheng was a little worried.

Mo Yu was the first to notice his master's little action, but he didn't understand what the point was, so he quickly walked over and blocked it with his body.

Mu Qingcheng calculated the time: "Yun Qing, my heart rate is 100."

Yun Qing nodded, indicating that he understood: "Moyu Moyun, protect Nuannuan!"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly jumped up, and countless wooden needles in his hands shot out at the same time. By listening to the sound and changing positions, he could know where Kang Shao was.

Kang Shao was prepared and swung his sword to cut off the wooden needles, but the people around him were not so lucky and screams were heard everywhere.

Yun Qing heard the rustle of a sword swinging, and he swung a palm towards Kang Shao. Kang Shao's sword flower twisted and pierced Yun Qing's heart. Yun Qing's body movements were as nimble as a snake, and Kang Shao's moves could not get close to him. Yun Qing's palm hit his chest, and he felt the blood surge, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and took several steps back before steadying himself.

Yun Qing didn't give him a chance to breathe. He had long wanted to beat this bastard to death, but Nuan Nuan said that there were only a hundred strokes, which was enough to cripple him.

Kang Shao was about to order everyone to attack when Yun Qing kicked him in the chest again. He didn't have time to waste time and turned to dodge. As soon as Yun Qing's foot landed, his fist had already reached his shoulder. Kang Shao felt a piercing pain and his arm was numb.

"My dear ancestors! Please don't just chase me and beat me up! Go beat up someone else!" Kang Shao was so painful that he couldn't speak.
