"Sword formation. ”

"In the final analysis, the military formation when the two armies are facing each other. ”

"The mountain protection arrays that all the major sects have, and even the spirit gathering array in the spirit tower behind you, are essentially the same thing. ”

"The so-called 'array' is actually to connect all parties in the array with exercises, or supernatural powers, or spiritual weapons, magic tools, and even divine patterns engraved in the divine gate, so as to burst out of the method that exceeds the combat power of all parties in the array. ”

"But there is no power in this world that arises out of thin air, and there is no monstrous power that can kill gods and demons as soon as the storyteller said. No matter how powerful the formation is, in the final analysis, the person who drives the formation needs to have enough strength as support, otherwise everything is duckweed on the water and a castle in the air. ”

"This sword array I have granted you is an accidental acquisition when I traveled to the ghost in my early years, and the origin of this sword formation is unknown, but it should be not small. It's a pity that it's a fragment, and the one I got is called "Disaster". ”

......

In the Gathering Spirit Pagoda, Wei Lai, who was taking a break in his practice, recalled what he had said to him on the seventh day of the first month yesterday.

Thinking of this, he took out the fragment of the sword formation from his bosom, and looked at it, but the seventh day of the first month did not deceive him. In this and the ancient books with yellowed pages and even blurred handwriting in some places, the sword formations recorded are really different, although they are fragments, they are also divided into three sword formations from easy to deep in the Nine Heavens, the Underworld, and the Tribulation, and although these three sword formations are independent of each other and have different powers, they seem to have something in common.

Wei Lai is not a cultivation wizard, and he does not have the talent to understand at that point, and the method of this sword formation is quite profound, and it is definitely not something that can be used in actual combat for a while. This is especially true for Wei Lai, who has a mind to find a different way in some aspects.

He flipped through the relatively simple Nine Heavens Sword Formation again, put some of the things that were not transparent enough in his heart and thought about it for a while, and he had some eyebrows, but he was not able to fully grasp it. Wei Lai is not in a hurry, this is what he does when he rests after practicing, it is good to have something to gain, and he is not in a hurry to eat a fat man in one bite.

But just when Wei Lai was satisfied with putting away the ancient book of the sword array, his eyebrows sank and he summoned the divine gate in his body, eighty-one golden threads immediately appeared, and he was about to concentrate again and start cultivating.

"Godson, your little daughter-in-law is here!"

The babbling voice of the seventh day suddenly came from outside the Gathering Spirit Tower.

Wei Lai's face showed a strange look when he heard this, but he still had to stop practicing at that time and rein in the qi around him. Then with thousands of reluctances, he slowly stood up and walked out of the Gathering Spirit Tower.

When I opened the door of the tower, I saw Xu Yue in a wheelchair and Xu Yunian, who was pushing her here. Xu Yue's face was calm, but there was a subtle but real smile in his eyebrows, but Xu Yunian behind him was squeezing his eyebrows at Wei Lai, with a teasing expression. And Wei Lai did dodge his gaze under Xu Yue's gaze, as if he was afraid, and as if he was weak-hearted.

As for the seventh day of the first month, who was shouting loudly just now, he was sitting on the branch with Erlang's legs crossed, staring here with great interest, looking at the excitement and not thinking of a big deal.

"Ah Lai, you didn't say hello early this morning, and you disappeared. I asked a few family members before I realized that you had come to this Spirit Gathering Pagoda alone early in the morning. I thought you were in a hurry, and I should have asked Yu Nian to prepare some before breakfast and send them to you. Eat quickly, you're hungry, it's not good. Xu Yue didn't feel the ridicule or weakness of the people present, she said calmly, and handed over the food box on her lap.

Wei Lai lowered his head, took the thing hard, and then replied in a muffled voice: "Okay...... Good...... Yue'er go back first, I'll eat in a while. ”

Wei Lai was only sixteen years old.

Yesterday, Jiang Huanshui's self-assertion pushed Wei Lai into an embarrassing situation.

He didn't hate Xu Yue, and even after these days of getting along, he faintly had a good impression of him. But such a good feeling is hazy, and it is obviously not yet the time to puncture it. But Jiang Huanshui's marriage letter is a moment, Wei Lai has no room for maneuver, especially Xu is very happy to respond to this matter, according to the tradition of Dayan, today it is estimated that Commander Xu will have to bring the people and horses to return the gift to the Governor's Mansion, and there are ...... Discuss the date of the wedding.

suddenly had an extra fiancée, coupled with Xu Chengzhen's impatient attitude, it was estimated that the so-called marriage period would not be too far away.

Thinking that it would not be long before he and Xu Yue would become a legitimate husband and wife, Wei Lai's heart gushed out with many strangeness. Especially when he didn't seem to be as repulsed as he imagined, he even had some expectations for this matter......

Wei Lai was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, after all, before such introspection, Wei Lai always thought that the person he liked was still Lu Yan'er. But when he realized that he was far more "watery poplar" than he imagined, Wei Lai's heart couldn't help but feel a lot of guilt, both for himself and Xu Yue, so he had the strange behavior that he avoided early this morning.

"I want to accompany you, you can eat here. Xu Yue said with a smile at that time, his narrowed eyes seemed to have a little cunning, as if looking at Wei Lai's appearance was an extremely interesting thing for her.

"Okay then......" Wei Lai could only nod his head when he saw this.

He was about to open the food box, but at this moment, a babbling sound suddenly came from outside the verdant garden around the Spirit Gathering Tower, which was completely different from the winter scene outside.

"Oh no!"

The voice roared like this, and everyone was also attracted by this sound at that time, and they all looked sideways, but saw Sun Daren running over from outside the garden out of breath.

"What's wrong?" Wei Lai breathed a sigh of relief and put down the food box in his hand, while secretly rejoicing in his heart for the sudden arrival of Sun Daren.

Of course, such a blessing fell apart after Sun Daren spoke out in the next moment.

I saw that Sun Daren came to everyone, and then he panted and said, "Cao ...... Cao Tongyun, I'm going to die!"

......

In the wing room of the Wei Mansion, after receiving Sun Daren's notice, he hurried back to the mansion non-stop and the people in the gate gathered around the bed of the old man who had fallen into a coma.

His face was pale, and his eyes were closed. Ah Huang, who is clever on weekdays, curled up beside him, looking sluggish, but stubbornly unwilling to leave, even if he took out the last big bone in his usual life, it was indifferent at the moment, just lying by the old man's side, licking the old man's face with his tongue from time to time, trying to rejoice it from the coma.

Under the guidance of Sun Daren, Wei Lai and everyone looked at the old man's injuries.

He had also seen some bizarre things, but Cao Tongyun's injury was really something he had only seen in his life.

It seemed to be flesh and blood that had disappeared out of thin air, and the internal organs and blood vessels under the flesh that were intact and even functioning normally were all strange. What was even more strange than these was that the golden light around the wound was slowly spreading towards the surroundings of the old man's body, and Sun Daren swore that when they first met Cao Tongyun, the wound was not as big as it seemed at the moment.

Obviously, this force is still eroding the old man's body, if it is not stopped, it will really be as Sun Daren shouted in panic...... Lives are hurting.

Wei Lai tried to touch this golden thing with the power in his body, but what frightened him was that this golden light carried a terrifying devouring power, spiritual power, blood power, and even some divinity that had accumulated in his body again these days, but whenever he touched the golden light, it would be swallowed up in the blink of an eye.

After some fruitless attempts, Wei Lai's brows couldn't help but furrow. It was hard for him to imagine what kind of character could hurt Cao Tunyun, whose cultivation was already unfathomable to him, to such an extent, and he didn't know what the strange power left on Cao Tongyun's body was.

He withdrew the hand that was placed on the old man, shook his head helplessly at Sun Daren and the others who looked concerned, and then looked at the seventh year of junior high school on the side. Although the other party's cultivation is now lost, after all, he was once known as the Northern Sword Species, and his cultivation is no longer good, but his vision will not be too bad, maybe he should be able to see a little.

And when Wei Lai set his eyes on Chu Qi, he found that the man's brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking, Wei Lai remembered that on the way back with Sun Daren, Sun Daren, who was panicked, had said that Cao Tongyun had recited Chu Qi's name before he fell into a coma, so it seems that Chu Qi may know something inside.

"Senior, do you know who Cao Lao was injured by, and how should this injury be solved?" Wei Lai asked.

Chu Qi also came back to his senses when he heard the words at this time, he looked at Wei Lai, who was anxious, first stunned, and then smiled bitterly. He stretched out his hand and pointed to Xu Yue on the side and said, "If you ask me, it's better to ask her." ”

Wei Lai was also stunned, of course he didn't understand what this matter could have to do with Xu Yue, but subconsciously he still looked at Xu Yue at that time, but saw the girl's eyebrows furrowed, and her face was solemn, until the conversation between Chu Qi and Wei Lai came, she raised her head as if she had just woken up from a dream.

Then under Wei Lai's strange gaze, Xu Yue muttered for a moment before he whispered.

"It's a ...... of cause and effect"

"Cause and effect lock?" Wei Lai frowned, he had never heard of such a thing, so he could only focus on Xu Yue's body again after hearing the words, hoping that she would give an answer.

"The causal lock is the power condensed by the power of cause and effect. ”

"Cause and effect are mysterious things, and even the Eight Great Sages may not be able to touch such things. ”

"And looking at the entire northern realm, there is only one divine object that can drive the cause and effect lock against the enemy, as far as I know......"

"What is it?" Wei Lai asked.

Xu Yue raised his head and looked at Wei Lai at that time, and he didn't know if it was Wei Lai's illusion, Wei Lai actually saw a little sadness and reluctance in the girl's eyes.

She whispered.

"Dust Slashing Sword. ”
