The old house of the Du family has a history of thousands of years in Xuanzhou, and the architectural style adopted is the shape of the traditional Chinese quadrangle, with a large courtyard with houses built on all sides, and the courtyard is surrounded from all sides.

The house of the gatehouse is enclosed, and the overall building is in the shape of a zigzag, which is a large mansion with three entrances and three exits, and the area occupied by itself is needless to say.

The Du family's house alone is worth hundreds of millions of Chinese dollars, otherwise how can it be said that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if the Du family is thin and declining, but this one house alone is enough for countless people to envy.

Standing at the door of the Du family's old mansion, Yan Luo looked at the two big stone lions by the door, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, he was dragged by Du Bozhong when he was a child because he peed on this stone lion, and now it is really interesting to think about it at that time.

The door of the Du family's old house is not closed during the day on weekdays, and the door will only be locked with a deadbolt after eight o'clock in the evening, after all, the old house is guarded 24 hours a day, so there is no need to worry about any accidents.

What's more, with the transcendence of the Du family's formation, even if someone breaks into the old mansion with bad intentions, they can't eat and walk, and there are no less than 100 enchantment formations in the courtyard of the old mansion as far as Yan Luo knows.

After all, this old mansion is the foundation of the Du family, and all the secrets of the Du family are here, so they have to be guarded against.

Yan Luo followed Du Anran all the way into the old house, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he was the narrow courtyard in front of the hanging flower gate, and the two crossed the narrow courtyard through the wing room to the main house, and happened to meet Du Anran's second uncle Du Shangwu who was walking towards him.

Du Bozhong had two sons in his life, namely the eldest son Du Shangwen, who is Du Anran's father, and the second son Du Shangwu.

And these two people are also the same as the name, Du Shangwen is naturally smart and wise, and the formation of the Du family is even more perfect, unpredictable.

Not only that, but he also pioneered and added the formations of his predecessors to his own concepts, thus improving many more powerful large formations, and he was also a famous wizard in the cultivation world back then.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, Du Shangwen disappeared mysteriously not long after Du Anran was born, and the Du family has been searching hard for so far but there is no news, which has also become Du Bozhong's heart disease.

And Du Anran's mother died of dystocia, making Du Anran a fatherless and motherless person from birth.

As for the other second son, Du Shangwu is completely opposite to his eldest brother, he is naturally burly, with a height of nearly two meters, and his strength is infinite, and he is invincible.

But God is fair, but Du Shangwu, who has a perfect physique, is congenitally unqualified and stupid, and he can't learn and inherit the Du family's peerless formation, so he finds another way and becomes a martial artist with martial arts.

And Du Shangwu has not married so far, so he has no heirs, which is why Du Bozhong gave all the Du family's unique knowledge to his granddaughter Du Anran.

"Enron, why did you come back so early today?" Du Shangwu was holding a freshly killed chicken in his hand at this time, and a chicken feather was stuck on top of his head, which looked a little funny.

"It's nothing, Yan Luo has something to do with me, let's come back and get something. Du Anran pointed to Yan Luo beside him and said.

"Yan Luo?" Du Shangwu came closer, moved a pair of tiger eyes to Yan Luo's face, and said in surprise: "It's really you kid, you have grown so big, when did you come back." ”

"Second uncle, long time no see. I've only been back for a few days, and I haven't had time to see you. ”

Yan Luo raised his head and looked at Du Shangwu, who was several heads taller than him in front of him, perhaps because of his years of martial arts practice, Du Shangwu's skin was dark and his muscles were bulging, and at a glance he looked like a small mountain of meat.

To say that when he was a child, the entire Du family belonged to Du Shangwu who was the best for him and Du Anran, often secretly stuffed them with good food, and always led them to the mountains to hunt and play.

It's just that during a hunting, Yan Luo accidentally fell into the collapsed pit, if it wasn't for Du Shangwu's reaction and pulling him up in time, I'm afraid Yan Luo's life would have been lost a long time ago.

Later, Du Bozhong, who learned about this, also scolded Du Shangwu, and it was precisely because of this that Yan Luo's feelings for Du Shangwu were still very good.

"Well, yes, my body is strong, and I am handsome. Du Shangwu carried the chicken in his hand, grinned, showed a neat white tooth and said: "Don't leave tonight, stay and eat, the second uncle will stew Buddha and jump over the wall to eat." ”

"Buddha jumping over the wall?"

Yan Luo swallowed his saliva when he heard this, Du Shangwu was best at cooking in addition to his unparalleled martial arts, and even Lao Dao praised his dishes back then, saying that even the immortals would swallow their tongues when they ate them.

Now that it is rare to come to the Du family, Yan Luo naturally will not give up the opportunity to taste the food, and readily agrees.

After bidding farewell to Du Shangwu, Yan Luo followed Du Anran to the backyard of the old mansion, which was the core of the Du family's old mansion, and all the formation books of the Du family existed here.

The two came to the study in the backyard, Du Anran casually fiddled with the books on the bookshelf a few times, touched the hidden mechanism, and a rumbling sound came, and the bookshelf separated to both sides.

I saw a dark passage extending down from the back of the bookshelf.

Yan Luo sneaked in with Du Anran when he was a child, so he naturally knew that there was a secret passage here, and he was not surprised.

The passage winds down, not very deep, but there are many Du family's killing arrays hidden in the walls and steps along the way.

Du Anran told Yan Luo to follow his footsteps closely and not to walk and bump into each other, and then slowly walked down, and Yan Luo followed.

The two walked for a long time before they reached the end of the passage, Du Anran pulled up the electric switch, and the bright light suddenly illuminated the entire hidden basement.

I saw that there were a lot of bookshelves and display cabinets densely displayed in the space of almost 100 square meters, and countless books and items were piled up.

Du Anran took the lead and led Yan Luo to a bookshelf on the right, and took out a scroll from it.

Then he took down a wooden box carved with dragon patterns from the display case on the side, and handed the two things to Yan Luo.

"This is the magic weapon needed to lay down the Soul Gathering Array. Du Anran looked at Yan Luo and said, "You first see if these things meet your requirements, if not, I'll find you something else." ”

Yan Luo nodded when he heard this, put the wooden box on the ground and opened it, only to see that four blood-colored pennants, six pieces of blood jade, three pieces of topaz and one of the largest round jasper were placed in the wooden box.

The formation was originally created for the ancient battlefield fighting, focusing on the combat formation, reasonable arrangement, often a good formation can make the combat power of an army to the highest.

It wasn't until later that the art of war was deduced by a generation of celestial Zhuge Kongming, and transformed according to Qimen Dunjia and the way of the five elements of gossip, thus giving birth to the Eight Arrays, that this formation was discovered by monks from all walks of life, and it was transformed into a later magic circle.

Although the circle was only later invoked by monks, the history of the circle is by no means so simple, and if you trace the origin, it has actually been recorded in ancient times.

It is said in the "Emperor Yin Fu Sutra", "Bagua Jiazi, Divine Ghost Hide", which means that the wonders of Qimen Dunjia are hidden in Bagua and Jiazi.

And the Qimen Dunjia itself is the Nine Palaces and Eight Formations, which is enough to show that the formation can be traced back to at least the period of the ancient emperors.

In later generations, the formation that gradually evolved from Taoism is also the magic circle, which relies on some magic tools to communicate with heaven and earth, and use the power of heaven and earth to achieve the purpose.

The magic weapons required to arrange the array are a little different from ordinary magic weapons, because the array needs to be based on the changes of heaven and earth, and the five elements of yin and yang and the way of gossip are fused to calculate the direction and casting arrangement.

Therefore, the required items need to use the jade bred by heaven and earth as the array eye to hide the qi and absorb the spirit, and it is also necessary to prepare a certain number of array flags according to the different formations to fix the edge of the formation, so as to prevent the formation from shifting due to the surge of heaven and earth spiritual power in the process of arranging the formation.

Of course, there are many kinds of magic circles, such as the spirit gathering array, the shattering array, the psychic array, and so on.

In addition, there are also Zhuxian Array, Bloodthirsty Array, Slaughter Array, etc., which are a kind of killing array among the monk formations.

The fixed formation magic weapon needed by the magic circle is the formation flag, but the killing array needs the murder weapon, such as the sword and the like, which are mostly preferred.

Yan Luo checked the array weapon in the box, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong, he handed it back to Du Anran's hands, after all, Du Anran had to help with the next arrangement.

The reason why he wanted to borrow the Du family's 'Soul Gathering Array' was because the three souls and seven souls of the two yin fetuses were not complete.

If you want to transform into a machine soul, you must first separate and reorganize the original three souls and seven spirits to reach the same rebirth as the reincarnation path.

And the Soul Gathering Array has the effect of splitting the soul and leaving the soul, which is exactly what Yan Luo needs now.

The two of them discussed in the basement for a long time, and finally finalized the location of the formation and chose to carry it out in the Du family's old mansion.

First, it is because the heaven and earth aura required for the formation is huge, and the Du family happens to have the blessing of the spirit gathering array, which meets the demand for aura supply.

Second, it is also because the Du family is safer and more secure than the outside, after all, with the blessing of several killing arrays, there will be no outsiders suddenly disturbing.

Yan Luo followed Du Anran out of the basement and recombined the mechanism and walked out of the study, if it was still early today, it was not suitable to set up this array, after all, the 'Soul Gathering Array' was a magic circle that divided the soul and separated the soul.

The soul is yin, and if you are afraid of yang, it is best to do it at night.

Yan Luo rarely returned to the Du family's old house this time, and Du Anran naturally took Yan Luo to many places where he used to play when he was a child to recall the past, and it was soon time for dinner after some play.

By the time Yan Luo and Du Anran came to the main hall, Du Shangwu had already finished cooking a table of delicious food, and Yan Luo was looking at it with his index finger.

At the same time, the table was also full of many people from the Du family, but most of them were descendants of the Du family.

These descendants are not qualified to learn the Du family's formation, but some of the Du family's exercises can be learned, so there are many people who have advanced cultivation.

Because Yan Luo has often followed the old way in and out of the Du family's old house since he was a child, everyone present basically recognized him, and when they saw him come in, they all greeted Yan Luo cordially.

Dinner was spent in the midst of everyone's chatting and laughing, and Yan Luo was also very happy to eat, especially Du Bozhong's craftsmanship had obviously gone up to the next level, and he bit his tongue several times when a Buddha jumped over the wall to eat.

If it weren't for Du Bozhong's fierce aura of martial arts exuded from the inside out, Yan Luo would even have some suspicions that the other party had changed his career to become a cook.

After eating, Yan Luo and the Du family drank tea and discussed the way of cultivation, chatting late into the night.

Seeing that the others went back to sleep one after another, Du Anran winked at Yan Luo, Yan Luo understood, and the two left the main hall and returned to the backyard of the old mansion, and began to prepare to cast spells.

Du Anran first took out the scroll taken out of the bookshelf in the secret room and slowly opened it.

In order to prevent theft, most of the Du family formations have seals, and what is sealed in this scroll is the secret method of the formula.

Although Du Anran was no stranger to this array, and even studied it carefully back then, she had never used this array before, so for the sake of safety, she still felt that it was safer to review it and then cast the spell.

Seeing Du Anran bite his index finger and drip blood on the scroll, Yan Luo saw a streamer flash out of the scroll, and then dense words appeared on the blank scroll silk cloth.

Perhaps because of the blessing of the prohibition, although Yan Luo could see the font appear, he couldn't see what the content was, but Du Anran was serious with a small mouth.

After looking at it for a moment, Du Anran closed the scroll. Take out the dragon pattern box during the day and put it on the ground, arrange the ancient jade required for the formation eye in turn according to the direction described in the formation, and then insert the array flags one after another.....
