Chapter 43: Lapis Lazuli Formation
A few minutes later, Ji Yiming and the ten people of Ying Xingtian finally walked to the target point a few hundred meters away.
also followed the mark left by Niu Qixiong, and they naturally met Ji Daoyan and Zheng Changlin halfway.
Ying Xingtian, who was walking in the front, was the first to see the two people walking slowly not far away, and then they saw the "Qing Soldier General" standing in the center of the explosion, covered in matte armor and holding a steel spear.
"Bald head and big braids, we guessed right, this is indeed the ancestral land of the former Qing Dynasty. Ying Xingtian was separated by the two, his eyes were firmly fixed on the general who exuded powerful coercion, but there was some doubt in his eyes: "But what is the standard of this battle armor, and it is not at all the same as the armor of the Qing Dynasty generals in the historical records." ”
Hearing the sound of conversation and footsteps from behind, Ji Daoyan and Zheng Changlin, who were focusing all their attention on the front, stopped their bodies and quickly turned around - the latter's face was surprised and relieved, but the former's eyes shrunk slightly, and his expression inevitably arched his hand to Ying Xingtian a little unnaturally: "Seeing the hunting heart, don't tell me, the leader of Win forgive." ”
The latter nodded slightly coldly and didn't say much, and most of his eyes were still condensed hundreds of meters away, on the body of the general who exuded the aura of the top grandmaster realm all over his body.
However, it was the first time that Ji Yiming found out that Ji Daoyan was actually a cultivator, and he hesitated in surprise and said hello: "Him...... Professor Him?"
Ji Daoyan showed a gentle smile: "Hello classmate Ji, I'm sorry I couldn't identify myself before." However, as for the solution to the puzzle left by Jiang Zhiyou, I don't have any reservations about you. ”
This is ...... Also.
Ji Yiming rubbed his nose and said thank you embarrassedly.
It's just that he is curious about the "secret" hidden in Hanzhong University.
What kind of secret can make Ying Xingtian, Ji Daoyan, and his girlfriend Jiang Zhiyou, the three transcendent beings in the world of cultivators, hide their identities and have to be mixed into Hanzhong University to "lurk"?
Then Ji Daoyan's eyes quietly turned again, and he soon found Ou Haichao, who was being carried by one of the members of the Hidden Dragon Yuan, his eyes were closed and he was unconscious, and he frowned and his figure quickly flew over: "What's wrong with him?"
The member of the Ruins Exploration Department who carried Ou Haichao on his back maintained basic respect for him, and quickly revealed the changes that had occurred in the narrow corridor and the dome building.
Ji Daoyan frowned slightly when he heard this, and he was suspicious of the formation with a magical space-time distortion effect in the former's mouth, and he reached out to hold Ou Haichao's wrist vein and probed for a while, and there was no way to do it: "The breath is stable, and the internal organs are not injured, it should be that the spirit or brain is hit by something to temporarily coma......"
"But what kind of thing can make Lao Ou, a master of the Grandmaster Realm, fall silent on the Dao?"
He didn't mention the doubts in his heart for the time being, and Zheng Changlin next to him also ran over to Ying Xingtian's side, and told everyone in detail what happened to him after entering.
Niu Chuxiong is missing, and Yan Siguang is missing......
This is terrible news.
Win Xing's face sank like water, and he walked to the side of Ji Daoyan in front of him in a few steps, looking at the Qing soldiers from afar. A powerful aura of a top-notch martial arts master that was exclusive to the abyss of Heaven Determination immediately escaped from around his body, condensing a dense cloud of mist like substance in mid-air, and rushed straight ahead.
A few seconds later, the coercion of the two top-level Grandmaster realms with completely different traits and breaths finally collided directly in midair.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
A dull explosion sounded in the middle of the two. More than a dozen extremely intense red brilliances flickered like lightning in countless clouds and mist, and occasionally when they hit the scorched ground, they could even explode several fist-sized potholes and splash rubble.
The few people standing on Ying Xingtian's side couldn't stand the terrifying coercion, and involuntarily took a few steps back—even Ji Daoyan, who was a Daomen Sect Master.
Only the "Yin Evil Anode Snake" Xiao Yang still swam around the former with his head and tail swinging, and occasionally exuded the same strong top aura from his body, which was not affected at all.
Even if there is a big gap between him and the real human top grandmaster realm in terms of combat power, since devouring all the Gu worms of the three grandmasters of the "Worm Dao", as well as a large amount of flesh and blood of the ancestral Gu body, Ji Yiming, this Gu snake, can be regarded as a serious eight hundred top grandmaster realm existence, and he is naturally not afraid of the strength of the two sides.
Ji Daoyan glanced at it with some surprise, although he had heard Ou Haichao mention that Ji Yiming had obtained a Gu snake with amazing strength in Shanglin Lake Ancient Kiln City, he had never thought that this guy actually had the aura of a top grandmaster realm!
Top Grandmasters...... Did it really turn into Chinese cabbage?
I have lived for most of my life, and I have been immersed in the "Qingxu Cave Heart Sutra" for countless years, but I can't even compare to a snake!
Hiding in the crowd with the rest of the people, and letting Ying Xingtian and Gu Snake stand in the way, Ji Daoyan only felt that his face tightened, and a blush appeared uncontrollably.
(For most of his life, he lived to be a dog...... )
Fortunately, at this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the "Aura Suppression Battlefield" ahead, but no one noticed that the leader of the "Yan Dao" organization, when the Dao Sect Sect Sect Master ranked first today, had a red face and a red look of embarrassment.
……
……
With a "snap" of the copper lock falling to the ground, the drawer on the dresser quietly moved a thin slit, and before Niu Chuxiong had time to look inside, he heard a dense explosion like thunder outside the window.
What a situation!
He was startled, and when he turned his head to look, he saw several clouds of different colors in the air radiating a crackling crimson "thunderbolt" light from several clouds of different colors in the middle of the air—where the deafening explosion came from.
From Niu Zhuxiong's angle, he couldn't see the Qing soldiers and Ying Xingtian, who were hundreds of meters away, and naturally didn't know the identities of the two sides who were confronting each other outside at the moment, and only thought that the terrible explosion that had just happened was going to happen again for some reason, and suddenly had an extremely dangerous feeling in his heart: It's not good!
If an explosion of that magnitude happens again, with the deepest explosion of your own strength, the center of the explosion is almost a situation of ten deaths!
No, you have to run!
Niu Chuxiong looked deeply at the situation outside the window with fear on his face, and was about to break out of the door to find a safe place to hide, but a bright light suddenly flashed in his mind: No, this place ...... Seems safer than any other area!
All the houses were razed to the ground in the explosion, but this one was unscathed from top to bottom, and everything inside was also unaffected.
If there is another explosion of that level, I am afraid that only hiding here is the real "safe zone".
By the way, is it the magical power on this strange and strange black bronze statue that protects the entire low house from the shock wave of the explosion?
Turning these thoughts in his heart, Niu Chuxiong subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the table of the Eight Immortals, almost staring directly at one of the "furious" faces. Fortunately, he closed his eyes in time, and finally resisted the residual anger and turned his head back to look at the dresser drawer with a slit in his hand, and gently pulled it open.
The track is smooth and twitches silently.
Although the exterior ornamentation and carving were extremely ordinary, he could be sure that this small dresser was not as ordinary as it appeared from the outside.
The drawer was completely opened, and Niu Chuxiong was surprisingly not found anything in it. Only engraved on the pure wood-colored floor was a small formation that looked delicate and complex—although he was not proficient in the way of formation, he subconsciously felt that the formation in front of him was fundamentally different from the other various formations that could be seen everywhere in the entire underground city. At least none of the previous payments have been as delicate as those engraved on the bottom of the drawer, giving it a dizzying and eccentric aesthetic.
There are four grooves in the middle of the pattern, corresponding to the four directions of east, west, north and south. There were no power gem settings in the grooves, only a small amount of powder that seemed to have not been completely burned off at the bottom.
This is...... Lapis lazuli?
As the logistics minister of the Qianlong Yuan, Niu Shuxiong's knowledge of these things naturally surpassed that of the vast majority of cultivators in the world. He dipped his fingers in some saliva, lightly touched a few grains of dust to the bottom of the groove to his fingertips, and soon recognized that the cyan color was slightly mixed with a little golden powder, which was the lapis lazuli scrap that was rarely used in the cultivation world.
Martial arts practitioners use agate, and the south red is the best.
Daomen practitioners use green pine, Yajiao Mountain, Yungai Temple produces the best.
Witch practitioners use crystals, which are best produced in the East China Sea.
Gu Dao cultivators use jadeite, and Myanmar produces the best top ink cui.
In front of us, this kind of natural gemstone called "Venuli" and "wall glaze" by Buddhism is mainly produced in the Afghan region, and can only be obtained through the "Silk Road" East-West exchanges in ancient times, which is not very common. The world of cultivators on the left and right is different from the world, and it takes a little more effort to find these rare gems, so there are formations that use lapis lazuli for cultivation to pass down.
It's a pity that all schools of modern cultivators agree that lapis lazuli is a miscellaneous gemstone with limited energy, and several mental methods and formations that have been passed down are not high-end goods, so they are gradually sealed in the warehouses of major organizations, and few people study them.
"Lapis Lazuli ......" Niu Chuxiong smashed his mouth, trying to recall the several formations and mental methods related to it in the warehouse of the logistics department: "It seems that the inheritance is all Daomen and Wumen mental methods, and the grades are almost concentrated in the middle and lower, and there are no high-end goods at all." Could it be that in the cultivator realm hundreds of years ago, there were still high-level formations that could use lapis lazuli?"
Although he couldn't see what the small formation in front of him was, and he couldn't even be sure if it could be used for cultivation, he could see some of the unfathomable parts of it.
And hidden in such a magical house, with the strange statues and solid copper locks that can affect his mind, it is obviously impossible for them to be those dusty ordinary goods in his own warehouse.
The question is, what exactly is the formation?
Do you want...... Launch a try?
Staring at the formation on the bottom of the drawer for a moment, Niu Chuxiong suddenly had such an irrepressible thought in his heart. It's like there are countless small insects devouring the internal organs, and the itch can't be suppressed by reason at all. After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally reached out and took out three small cyan turquoises from his arms, and filled them into the grooves of the four positions in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the formation in turn.
It's just that he didn't notice......
During the whole process, the bronze statue of the whole body on the shrine of the Eight Immortals Table behind him, and the six pairs of eyes on the three faces of "Furious", "Great Joy" and "Great Compassion", seemed to be looking towards this side at the same time.
With an indescribable eerie atmosphere.
