Chapter 55: See Second Master Ji Again

1.

The defender didn't know whether he was caught in the acupoint by Hongchen or directly knocked unconscious, the whole person was paralyzed on the ground motionless, if it wasn't for Lin Xiao personally stepping forward to probe his faint snort to confirm that his life was safe, he would almost think that he was dead.

"Where did you just run?" Lin Xiao was originally squatting next to the defender to check his physical condition, but then he stood up and asked at Hongchen, "You broke that 'Da Luo Light Smoke Array'?"

Hongchen nodded: "When the formation is activated, it will produce extremely subtle spiritual power fluctuations around here, and if you don't open the 'Heaven and Earth Net', you won't be able to feel it at all." I was going to warn you to come, but I'm worried about this guy......" he said and kicked the defender...... Seeing that we are on guard will change the position, and then the situation will be complicated, so I will make a statement and look for the formation first while he is dealing with you. ”

Lin Xiaohu looked at Hongchen suspiciously: "Then how do you know the cracking method of this 'Da Luo Light Smoke Array'?"

Hongchen sneered slightly: "This 'Da Luo Light Smoke Array' has been lost in the cultivation realm for many years, and now there is only one complete formation in this world. Although I don't know where the Ji family got the formation score, it is estimated that they have not fully learned it, or the formation score itself is incomplete, anyway, the 'Da Luo Light Smoke Array' here is not as authentic as you think. ”

"Although this formation here is strictly arranged in accordance with Luo Tian's momentum, it lacks the rotation position between the formation eyes, and the difficulty of breaking the formation is greatly reduced - recognize the arrangement order of the seven formation eyes on the periphery and break them one by one; This guy ......," he said, kicking the defender again, "...... Just stay in the main array and watch you, and I'll clean him up too!"

Lin Xiao still looked at Hongchen with that playful look, and saw her furious: "Do you still have something to hide from me?"

"Huh?" Hongchen suddenly looked a little weak, "Is there one?"

Ye Xin also suddenly leaned over and said, "If you want to say that the Ji family may have relied on a remnant book to put on a formation, and you are so familiar with the operation of the formation of the 'Da Luo Light Smoke Array', but you can't even understand the 'Luo Shu Nine Palaces' at the entrance of the Innocent Family, where did you learn this formation?"

"Uh...... What about this......" Hongchen was silent for a moment, blinked her big watery eyes a few times, and said to Lin Xiao: "Do you know where the only remaining 'Da Luo Light Smoke Array' in this world is?"

"Yes. Lin Xiao replied casually, "Kunlun Mountain Qilin Cliff, I also just found out, or she told me." As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Ye Xin, then at Hongchen's inexplicable expression, and suddenly thought of the fact that he often violated the ban on night travel with Ling Ying, Yunxiao and Li Zhou, and couldn't help but realize a certain possibility, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"You...... Should it be ......" Lin Xiao pointed at Hongchen, his face full of disbelief.

Hongchen dodged his substantive-like gaze, with a strange embarrassed smile on his face, and Lin Xiao felt a burst of heart congestion. "Usually when you go to sleep...... I'm idle and bored by myself, so I often go to the Qilin Cliff...... Play!"

"Play?" Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Don't tell me that you know how to break the formation just by playing?!"

"Almost. Hongchen waved his hand, "When I went for the first time, I didn't understand the situation and fell inside, but it was Master Yun who fished me out himself." Then I went every day, every day...... Go and go, and become familiar with this formation!"

Lin Xiao covered his heart, just wanting a mouthful of old blood to spray directly on Hongchen's stunned face. The forbidden land of Qilin Cliff in Houshan is a place where many disciples of the sect want to go but dare not go, he and Ling Ying and the three of them have never been to Kunlun Mountain at night, even the most dangerous Immortal Chou Yuan and Demon Refining Cave are not a problem, but the Qilin Cliff is a place where they dare not set foot in life - Yunya has given them a ban: no matter what your identity is, whoever goes to that place will be abolished and expelled from the door wall, without discrimination, no exception!

And now, Hongchen told him personally: She went to Qilin Cliff every night...... And it's the tacit approval of Cloud Cliff!

"Damn, dead old man!" Lin Xiao lowered his head and rubbed his aching eyebrows, and cursed in a low voice, "I usually don't see you turning your elbows outward like this, I'll write this account first!"

Ye Xin looked at Lin Xiao's expression of holding her breath and vomiting blood at this time, and felt like laughing for no reason, but fortunately, she had strong self-control, and in the end, she only pursed her lips reservedly, and two small pear vortices appeared on her face. She coughed lightly twice, and forced a smile to say, "Complain or something, let's go back and post it when you have time, think about how to deal with this guy first." Yu Bi also learned Hongchen to gently kick the defender twice.

Lin Xiao looked at the defender lying on the ground, his back up, and the original white clothes were now printed with large and small shoe prints with mud marks, and he couldn't help but feel pity for him.

"Eh, stop kicking. Lin Xiao patted Ye Xin's shoulder—she was now constantly using her toes to test the unconscious defender, saying it was a temptation, but it looked more like a ravage. "I'm having an 'immature' idea at this point, or else...... Let's try it?"

2.

The ancestral house of the Ji family is located at the highest point of Qishan Mountain, Shiliu Peak, hidden within the enchantment, and the non-Ji family does not know how to enter, so they can only look at the few old buildings on the periphery that look like they are crumbling outside the enchantment, but they can't go to that place.

The circle of old buildings outside Ji's house is actually divided into "outer floors" and "inner floors". "Outer Building" a total of twenty-four, is the Ji family carefully designed to build the organ building, in case of foreign enemies, the sentry in the organ building will send out a signal in advance to alert the inner circle of the clan, and then open the building mechanism, as the first line of defense of the Ji family group defense circle.

The "inner floor" is the ancestral hall of the Ji family, a total of twelve, which is dedicated to the ancestors of the Xuan Dynasty since ancient times. The first six floors are dedicated to the ancestors of the Ji family, and the last six floors are the elders of the Ji family branch, that is, those who were clans with different surnames during their lifetimes, such as the "Shenyan Jiang clan", and after their deaths, they recognized their ancestors and returned to their ancestors and buried them in the ancestral land, and their spirit tablets were placed on the last six floors.

The place where the still alive people of the Ji family really live is located in the middle of these two old buildings, forming a "walled building" pattern similar to that of the Hakka clan in southern Xinjiang in the east. The 36 old buildings on the periphery are arranged in order according to the "number of Tiangang" in the Xingchen theory, and the dwellings in the inner perimeter are protected in them. The Ji family set up fields and raised livestock in the fairly open space in the inner enclosure, anyway, the terrain where they live is high, and the Qishan area is often cloudy and rainy, so they can't see the sun a few times, and they are not afraid of being blocked by the light on the outer floors, so they have been self-sufficient for thousands of years, but they are also happy.

The second master Ji Yu is the governor of the outer twenty-four organ building, he has been gifted since he was a child, and the family has passed down the techniques of those organs and the five elements of yin and yang, Qimen gossip and other changes have been practiced to the realm of perfection, saying that "you can put a formation with your eyes closed", it can be seen that his Taoist attainments are extraordinary, so he is also the real person who sets up the "Da Luo Light Smoke Array" in the mountains.

It's just that this second master Ji is lazy by nature, and he is addicted to alcohol, and he has to go down the mountain from time to time to drink and have a good time, where will he honestly stay in that boring array and sit alone and watch the sky. Therefore, every day he transferred a disciple from the office building to guard him on the mountainside. In order to prevent variables in the formation, he also specially took a signal flare to the defenders, and if he couldn't hold it, he would release the signal, whether it was himself or the disciples of the organ building, they would naturally go to support.

This night, Ji Yusui was lying on the roof of the organ building, blowing the night breeze and enjoying the moonlight, and from time to time he lifted the wine jug to pour a sip of wine, only feeling extremely comfortable. Everyone in the world knows that this Qishan Moon Song City is the first trading place in the world, and when you come to the city, you go to the treasures in those markets, and you don't have the intention to pay attention to other things, but you don't know that the wine shop in this Moon Song City is also a must-have winemaker.

When he thought of Moon Song City, Ji Yusui couldn't help but think of the two teenagers, a man and a woman, who appeared on the "gluttonous feast" in the ghost market. If the girl's body and knife skills in the ring made him feel bright, then the boy who appeared in the underground secret room afterwards made him feel even more amazing - he was burdened with the poison of the four layers of cold but seemed to have nothing to do, such a heart and courage are far from being comparable to others!

"I don't know where those two juniors are now?" Ji Yusui raised his head and poured a big sip of wine, he has been counting the time for the past three days, if those two young people are fast, they should already be in the "Da Luo Light Smoke Array" at this time.

Just thinking of this, Ji Yusui's eyes suddenly lit up, and a shining fire meteor rose from the forest on the mountainside, and exploded in the air, revealing the family ornament of the mysterious vein - this is the signal flare he handed over to the defenders, and the place where the fire meteor rose is also the location of the "Da Luo Light Smoke Array".

Ji Yusui only drank a sip of wine a moment ago, and now a "poof" squirted out, and the collar and placket were soaked with wine. He stood up from the top of the building, and just happened to hear the disciple who was guarding downstairs shouting at him: "Second master, the formation has changed!"

"Lao Tzu is not blind, stand up to your post!" Ji Yusui replied angrily, and the sentry disciple shrank back into the organ building again. Ji Yusui poured the last few sips of wine into his mouth, shook off the empty wine jug, lifted the iron rope around his waist, and scolded secretly: "These two little rabbit cubs came quite quickly;

Approaching the location of the "Da Luo Light Smoke Array", Ji Yusui already felt that something was wrong—the halfway up the mountain was covered with clouds and smoke all year round, and it was this formation that kept breeding smoke when it was running. And now this forest can be described as "unobstructed", the clear glow of the moonlight can be sprinkled, illuminating this forest transparently, where is there still half a shadow of smoke?!

And there is only one possibility for this result, that is, the eight array eyes have been destroyed, the "Da Luo Light Smoke Array" has stopped running, and the smoke has naturally dispersed.

Ji Yusui landed on a treetop, and his light skills were also excellent—in fact, mainly because sometimes drinking and forgetting to bring money could make it easier for him to escape—standing on a branch, swaying with the wind as it swayed, as if walking on the ground. His gaze scanned back and forth in the forest, trying to catch the figures of Lin Xiao and Ye Xin.

In his opinion, the "Da Luo Light Smoke Array" will be broken if it is broken, and he didn't expect that formation to be able to trap the two of them, after all, that young man has Ziyang True Qi, presumably from the Ziyang Divine Sect of Kunlun Mountain, maybe he has seen the complete large array on the Qilin Cliff, and this incomplete formation he has placed may not be able to trap him at all.

What he cares about now is where the two young juniors went after breaking the formation, it stands to reason that he rushed over as soon as he saw the flare rising, the two of them shouldn't have been able to go far, why can't they see people at this time. Also, since the formation has been broken, the defenders should quickly go back to the ancestral house to report, and they should not put signal flares!

Ji Yusui suddenly considered a certain possibility, his pupils couldn't help shrinking slightly, he felt as if he had invisibly fallen into someone else's trap, which made him sigh for a while-how many times has the second master of the Ji family not suffered a loss in the hands of others, is it possible that he will be planted in the hands of these two little rabbits today? !

Ji Yusui subconsciously felt that he shouldn't continue to stay in the treetops, after all, the position above was still too obvious, in case those young men and women really planned to ambush him, it would be difficult for him to borrow his strength in mid-air at this time, if he was given the opportunity to let them fight from the bottom up, wouldn't it be cheaper for them!

Ji Yusui jumped off the tree and walked forward slowly. He thought that Lin Xiao and Ye Xin would most likely continue to walk up the mountain after breaking the formation, so they stopped a few miles outside the "Da Luo Light Smoke Array" and waited for them, but they were in vain. Now that he thought that the two little ghosts should still be waiting in the formation, he moved to the formation.

Ji Yusui untied half of the iron rope around his waist, and the iron rope dragged on the ground, making a "bell, bell, bell", like the sound of the soul hook rope used by the impermanence ghost to drag on the ground when asking for his life. He quickly swept around the seven formation eyes on the periphery of the formation, and after confirming that there was no one, he dragged the iron rope towards the main formation eye in the center of the formation.

Under the reflection of the moonlight, the eyes of the main array gradually appeared in front of his eyes. At this moment, a slight voice came into Ji Yusui's ears:

"Don't dig too deep, we'll have to expose his head, or I'll suffocate me when we fill in the earth!" a teenager's voice sounded first.

"You know, you still need to teach this?!" this time the voice was a cold female voice.

"Alright, almost. Now I'm going to stay here and fill in the soil, and you can find out if there's any water around here, and bring some back. ”

"What do you want water for?"

"You don't understand, soak the soil with water, and the wet soil can fit the body more closely, and it is not easy for people to escape after tamping!"

"......" The girl did not answer, and there was a dead silence in the forest.

"What are you looking at me for?" the boy asked after a moment.

After a while, the girl said quietly: "You understand very well!"

"Nonsense, it's all experience!" Lin Xiao said as he picked up a large handful of soil and threw it into the pit, where the defenders were still unconscious and tied up like zongzi by the Dingyun rope.

Ye Xin couldn't help but glance at him, but she didn't know that what Lin Xiao told her was indeed the truth - when she was in the Ziyang Divine Sect, if she violated the ban on night travel and happened to run into a disciple who was keeping vigil, Lin Xiao usually knocked people unconscious, and then hung them on the roof or buried them in the ground. Because of this, he did not go to the precept hall as a "guest".

Lin Xiao was still urging Ye Xin to find water, which made her extremely impatient, and she didn't hold back and roared: "It's annoying! Where can I find water for you in the middle of the night?!"

Lin Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment and said, "Then let's bury it directly, it's really cheap for this guy." "If the defenders wake up at this moment, they will definitely faint again when they hear this. Dingyun Suo was already difficult to break free, and after being buried in the soil, his hands and feet were tied and there was no escape, and he actually said that it was "cheap"?

Ji Yusui hid behind the tree on the side, and the corners of his eyes twitched when he heard it, and he wanted to scold but found that he was a lot poor for a while, and he couldn't say a word of swearing. At this time, he knew what was going on with the signal flare - it must have been these two little ghosts who broke the formation and put down the defenders and searched him out; as for why the signal was released, it must be that they couldn't find the way up the mountain, so they were waiting to lure the Ji family out and show them the way!

If you say that, wouldn't you be an idiot making wedding dresses for others?!

Ji Yusui just wanted to look up to the sky and howl at this time, but he still had to take care of his own face in front of the juniors, so he could only silently greet Lin Xiao and Ye Xin's ancestors for the eighteenth generation in his heart, and then pretended that nothing had happened, turned out from behind the tree, and smiled dryly at Lin Xiao, who was busy: "Boy, you are so interested!"

Lin Xiao and Ye Xin glanced at each other, and they both caught a hint of a smile in each other's eyes. Their plan was just as Ji Yusui thought, originally to pretend to be a defender all the way up the mountain to ask for help to lure out the other posts of the Ji family on the mountain, but unexpectedly, Hongchen searched for a signal flare from the defender's body, which greatly saved trouble. At present, this "bait" has also caught a "big fish" at once, which is even more unexpected.

Lin Xiao stood up, patted his hands full of dirt, turned around, and pretended to say in an extremely surprised tone: "Who is my Dao, it turns out to be Second Master Ji." What are you...... Do you want to go down the mountain in the middle of the night to admire the moon?" Ye Xin pulled out the ruthless blade and stood beside Lin Xiao to prevent Ji Yusui from suddenly making a move.

Ji Yusui sneered slightly, and said slowly: "The moonlight of this Qishan Mountain is surrounded by clouds and smoke, just like the moon in the heavenly palace, and the vast cold fairyland, so that there is a different kind of charm. It's just that I passed by here today, but I saw that the moonlight was still there, but the smoke was gone, so I took the opportunity to come and have a look. I didn't expect to meet you two here. ”

Lin Xiao smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "It's easy to say." Today is to fulfill the three-day covenant made with Mr. in the ghost market of Moon Song City. I was planning to rest on the mountain tonight, and then go up the mountain to worship tomorrow, but I was ambushed by someone in the middle of the night, so I disturbed the tranquility of your place, and I ask Second Master Ji for forgiveness!"

Ji Yusui said coldly: "What kind of person is ambushing you, can you let me see it?"

Lin Xiao and Ye Xin forcibly held back a smile, and Qi Qi moved aside to the side, revealing the scene behind them, and said, "Second Master, please." ”

Ji Yusui looked around, only to see that the defender rolled his eyes and fainted, there were still half muddy footprints on his face, and he didn't know who stepped on it; his body was almost buried in the soil, only half of his shoulders and head were exposed, it seemed that Lin Xiao and they hadn't had time to fill the soil to the position of their chins.

Ji Yusui looked at the appearance of the defender buried in the soil, and for some reason felt a little like laughing, but after thinking about it, this person was still a child of the Ji family after all, and laughing like this in front of outsiders might make others see the joke. At that moment, he covered his face with his hand and coughed a few times to hide the sound that he was about to laugh, and after putting down his hand, he had a stiff face again, and said in a deep voice: "This person ...... It's the sentry set up here by my Ji family!"

Lin Xiao pretended not to know, and made a look of surprise, if it weren't for Ji Yusui who already knew the inside story, he might have been deceived by him. I only heard Lin Xiao say in a little panic: "The younger generation really doesn't know, because he saw someone attacking, he took action to control the enemy, I didn't expect to accidentally injure the children of the Ji family, and ask the second master Ji to forgive me!"

"Little rabbit cub, pretending to be really similar!" Ji Yusui secretly laughed and scolded in his heart, and said: "Since it is a misunderstanding, then Lao Tzu will not worry about you two juniors, hurry up and dig out the people for me, and then go back and forth." As he spoke, he turned around and gestured to leave.

Suddenly, Ye Xin's cold voice sounded behind him: "Second Master Ji, how is this 'Da Luo Light Smoke Array' compared to the organ building of your Ji family's ancestral house?"

Ji Yusui paused, and his tone sank: "How do you say this?"

Lin Xiao took a step forward and bowed: "The formation here is exquisite, although it still lacks a little change compared to the big array in my Kunlun Qilin Cliff, it is not so easy to break." If the organ building at your ancestral house can't be compared with this array, then in the opinion of the younger generation, there is no need for us to go to the ancestral house to disturb the peace of the ancestors of the Ji family. ”

Lin Xiao was also gambling when he said this, he had actually never seen how wonderful the formation on the Qilin Cliff was, and the reason why he moved it out was to give Ji Yusui a psychological hint: The disciples who came out of the Ziyang Divine Sect had even seen the real "Da Luo Light Smoke Array", and it was not a problem to break through the organ building in front of the Ji family's ancestral house.

As for why he said that he was gambling: he was betting that Ji Yusui didn't know the rules of the Ziyang Divine Sect - except for the head of the sect, no one in the sect could enter the Qilin Cliff Forbidden Land.

Ji Yusui laughed, and suddenly his body shook, and the iron rope wrapped around his waist surged up under the agitation of internal force, and swept straight towards Lin Xiao's waist. The next moment, I saw a red light flash in the forest, and Hongchen flew towards with the spirit sword body in his hand, and the tip of the sword penetrated the chain of the iron rope and nailed the iron rope to the ground.

"Boy, dare you wait for me here!" Ji Yusui didn't plan to really make a move, this time it was just a little psychological deterrence for Lin Xiao, since he was stopped, he didn't pursue further, and simply pushed the boat down: "Since you can break this 'Da Luo Light Smoke Array', then this level is considered to have passed you." If you want to know what's going on, come with me to the ancestral house to meet my eldest brother. ”

Lin Xiao and Ye Xin put away their blades, saluted Ji Yu Sui, and said in unison: "That's the case, thank you Second Master Ji." ”

"Two little rabbit cubs!" Ji Yusui suddenly scolded, "The matter has been promised to you, why don't you hurry up and dig people out for me!"
