The woman's story is very long, but Lin Ji listened very carefully. He snuggled into the woman's arms, his eyes slightly closed.

"When I left Canghai City, your father supported me. He knew that there would eventually be an end to manpower, but the path of cultivation was different, it seemed endless, even if the mountains looked up like an old gentleman, it was still not the end. He wanted me to go the other way, just as he supported you in your practice. The woman gently patted Lin Ji's shoulder. Like an ordinary mother, she is comforting her child.

"The days of leaving the palace are naturally very boring, and I can only deal with the formation, but after all, I am practicing. ”

"Then why don't you get out of here. What about going out and taking a look?" Lin Ji was a little puzzled, because he didn't know that although it was good here, cultivation was in cultivating the mind. Joining the WTO is a form of cultivation.

"Entering the WTO is a taboo in leaving the palace. The master took me back to the mountain, and that was the first thing he told me. Those who leave the palace can only go out of the mountain gate once in their lives. ”

"When?"

"When I was looking for my own heirs. This is the agreement between the palace and the world. That's why it's called the Imperial Palace. ”

"Then ............ you" Lin Ji frowned, he couldn't imagine the feeling when a person was only accompanied by this stone wall and formation all day long, but profoundly he knew the horror of loneliness.

"It's nothing, everyone has their own choices, I chose to come here, so naturally I have to persevere. Isn't it?" the woman gently stroked Lin Ji's head and said firmly.

"And what's your reason for sticking with it?"

"My existence is to ensure that these formations stay on the premise of not harming the world. But...... But I seem to have done something wrong. ”

"Are you talking about the ghost people who came out of the abyss?"

The woman didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

"That's not your fault. At least it seems to me so. The dark and damp Endless Abyss naturally cannot survive, which is unfair to the ghost people, they just want a living space, but the process is complicated, it is you who gave them this opportunity. ”

"Maybe so. The woman didn't know if it was the person in her arms who was comforting him or if she was telling the truth. But the topic was not continued any longer.

The square was quiet, and the sound of torches burning in the corridor could still be heard.

The woman suddenly asked, "Do you have a girl you like?"

Hearing the woman's words, Lin Ji gasped deeply, subconsciously touched the scar on his chest with his hand, and then nodded.

"She is now in Canghai City to help me preside over internal affairs, but thanks to her, I can barely hold on. Lin Ji frowned.

"What about the genius girl from Daoling?" the woman seemed to know something, and after saying this, she lifted Lin Ji's robe.

A huge scar appeared under Lin Ji's chest, revealing the high raised scar. The woman could even feel the murderous aura coming from the dagger.

Warm fingers run across the scar on the chest, bringing a hint of warmth.

Lin Ji closed his eyes, his chest heaved and heaved, as if he wanted to get a lot of things. It took a long time for him to open his eyes: "It's been a long time. ”

"Oh......" The woman didn't mention it again.

"Then let's get down to business. The woman suddenly became a little serious, and then the hand patting Lin Ji's shoulder also stopped.

Feeling the change in the breath on the woman's body, Lin Ji sat up straight.

"More than 400,000 coalition troops besieged the south of Canghai City, blocking all the roads to Dugu Gorge. And in order to concentrate my forces and prevent the coalition forces from breaking through the other three gates, I sealed the other three gates. The problem with this is that we have no way back. But it is the best solution to the problem at hand. There was enough food in the city for about a year, and I made good preparations in advance. Moreover, on the border of the Buddha Kingdom, the army of the righteous army attracted the energy of some of the big Han and distracted them a lot. It's just that none of these are the keys to defeating the Great Han. So I'm in a hurry. The consumption of grain and grass in Canghai City is naturally not as good as that of the coalition army. But there is naturally more grain and grass in the world than in Canghai City, if the empress wants to break through Canghai City at once, she will be reckless. Then Canghai City will be very dangerous. Moreover, the enemy's cultivator forces are much larger than ours, if it weren't for the fact that we had already broken them one by one, we would have gained some respite. Otherwise, I'm afraid the current situation will be much worse. So I hope there is a way to keep the city intact. When Lin Ji got down to business, he was completely like a different person, and he looked very attentive like his father.

"You're becoming more and more like your father. "Woman, you stopped the corners of your mouth. As if remembering the past, tears rolled in his eyes.

"I'll never be as good as my father, I'm impulsive. Capricious, but also considerate. not against him, even if the belly is against him. It can also handle all of this with ease. Lin Ji let out a long sigh.

He had thought about such a question countless times, what would he do if the current situation was handled by his father. Or maybe he wouldn't allow such a situation to happen in Canghai City.

"I'm not going to give you a killing formation. But I can give you the formation to protect the city, and use it to protect Canghai City. The woman looked at Lin Ji with a smile and gave him the most sincere encouragement.

“…… Mother......" Lin Ji's mouth opened and closed. In the end, he shouted the word, a word that he had never said in his life, and now he said it for the first time. It's so rusty.

The woman's eyes widened silently, her eyes were moist, and the next moment, two lines of excited tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, and they were extremely hot.

This was also the first time he had heard Lin Ji call his mother, so she was very excited. Excited, I don't know what to say.

"You...... You...... Don't you hate me?" The woman knew that she would leave Canghai City after giving birth to Lin Ji, I am afraid that she would not be able to exchange Lin Ji's understanding, and even make Lin Ji hate herself. But he didn't expect that Lin Ji didn't hate himself, but understood his own approach very well.

"Like you said. Everyone has their own choice. What will you give up for this choice? I'm the one you give up. And I don't feel like I'm unimportant to you, but there's something more important than me. ”

The woman listened to Lin Ji's words. Nodding with satisfaction, she had thought about the scene of meeting Lin Ji for the first time countless times, but she never thought that it would start with such a situation.

"Mother, come back to Canghai City with me, Canghai City needs you. ”

"Son, I can't get out of here, at least for now. You have to believe in your own abilities. You can fulfill this mission that your father left you. And this mission is something that only you can accomplish. ”

Lin Ji gasped heavily, perhaps it was the concentrated outbreak of pressure for too long. His eyes turned scarlet for a moment.

"Do you know what a formation is?" the woman asked suddenly.

Lin Ji, who was a little out of control, was stunned for a moment after suddenly hearing the woman's question.

The cultivation formations that he knew and came into contact with were extremely limited. But he is extremely familiar with the formation of the army.

"You're right, the formation comes from the army. Therefore, it is very similar to the military array, and it is also a method created by the ancestors of the palace according to the changes of the military formation and the flow of essence qi. So what is a military formation?"

There is a very standard answer to this question in Yingtian Academy, and Lin Ji remembers it very clearly.

"The formation refers to the combat formation during the battle. If the formation is properly arranged, the combat effectiveness of the army can be brought into full play, and the best efficiency can be brought into play through the rational arrangement of troops and formations, so as to defeat the enemy. Therefore, the military formation is a compulsory course for a qualified general, and every successful general is an excellent formation master. When Lin Ji involuntarily gave an answer, he himself was stunned for a moment, but after a while, he immediately knew what the woman meant.

"Mother, do you mean that the formation is to arrange the essence qi according to the soldier, and then use it to achieve the effect that the caster wants?"

"It's so simple to understand, although there are many differences in the details. The woman nodded, looked at Lin Ji, and was very satisfied with his talent.
