Chapter 47: The elephant is invisible, and the sound is loud

From the end of the battle between Ying Xingtian and the Qing soldiers, Niu Chuxiong went out to meet all his peers in the Hidden Dragon Yuan, told everything that had happened before and discovered various mysteries and clues by himself, and then everyone gathered here to enter the hut.

The whole process takes only about three or two minutes.

However, in this short period of time, the strange statue that was originally as smooth as it had just been created has become this ghost!

His heart moved slightly, and he quickly walked through the crowd to the dresser, looking at the delicate formation on the floor.

Sure enough, the original delicate brushstrokes and smooth lines, even if it is not in the right formation, it is also an engraved formation with the ultimate aesthetic artwork, has become a rotten picture that is so tattered and covered with ashes that it can barely be seen from its original appearance.

"No, no! I didn't look like this at all when I left. ”

Niu Qixiong stretched out his hand and touched the formation, bringing up a layer of black and greasy plaster: "How can there be such a big change in such a short period of time?"

"There are many places in this city that involve the space-time secret array, and it is not surprising that the speed of time flow has accelerated in a short period of time. Ying Xingtian recalled what he had seen in the construction of the Yongdao and the dome "yurt" before, but he didn't feel too surprised, and only turned his head to Ji Daoyan and asked: "Your Daomen is much more complete than us in terms of formation inheritance, have you ever seen similar records?"

The latter closed his eyes slightly and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "In ancient times, there may have been space-time formations, but they are all top-notch secret techniques that can only be mastered by those mythical characters, and I am afraid that the inheritance has been cut off by the Shang and Zhou dynasties...... Not to mention the fact that it has been passed down to the present day. ”

"So this formation, can you see some fiction and reality?"

In fact, there is no need to ask too much, after discovering that the bronze statue on the shrine does not have any peculiarities, Ji Daoyan has already focused on the formation at the bottom of the dresser drawer.

Unfortunately, the desired scenario did not materialize.

"Not to mention the current appearance. The leader of the "Yan Dao" smiled bitterly and shook his head, and he didn't reach out to touch the dirty formation patterns like a cow slashing a male: "Just looking at the trend of the lines next to me, even when I am still in a complete state, it is beyond the scope of my formation knowledge, I am afraid that in the world today, only Mr. Yan Siguang in your organization can study a few clues." ”

The problem is that now this guy Yan doesn't know where he disappeared.

Ying Xingtian shook his head with a wry smile, and then turned to Niu Shuxiong: "What the formation looked like before it was broken, have you made a good record?"

The latter's whole person froze instantly, and a look of embarrassment quickly surged up: "I ......"

Damn, I knew I should have taken it out for a picture first!

Most of the formations I saw before had been recorded first, why did I stupidly forget the most basic rules of exploring this ruins when I went to this most critical place?!

Ying Xingtian shook his head helplessly, but he didn't say anything in front of outsiders.

- Even if the members of Qianlong Yuan make a big mistake, it is an internal matter, and it is naturally impossible to rectify discipline in front of the leader of Yandao.

A few people were here to check the weathering so that they couldn't see the original formation clearly, but in the crowd, Ji Yiming walked to the Eight Immortals table, half-squatted down and stared at the rusty statue for a while, and then simply reached out and picked it up.

It is rough to the touch and heavy to the touch. Even if it is covered with blue-green patina at the moment, it can still be seen that the smelting process used to cast this thing in the first place will definitely not lose to the top technology of some modern foundries.

The whole statue is no more than 30 centimeters tall and only a dozen centimeters wide, but the rough estimate of the weight in the hand is at least 30 kilograms: "Solid? Isn't it...... Even if it is solid, the specific gravity of copper alloy should not be so heavy. ”

He reached out and flicked it on the bronze statue's belly, making a dull metallic sound.

The rest of the people around were attracted by the sound and turned around, and they all heard that something was wrong. Yu Zhen is really good next to Ji Yiming, and she also stretches out her cardamom nails.

"Buzz !!"

After transporting the internal breath, of course, the finger strength is much stronger than Ji Yiming's casual flicking, and the voice is more than several times louder than Fang Cai. This continuous "humming" sound, like a big bell ringing in the morning and dusk in the temple, with a trembling echo, spread rapidly from the center of the hut to the far distance.

Not only the center of the explosion was within a radius of several hundred meters.

Every street in the underground city, every tall, humble or luxurious building, every ditch and even the outermost concave and convex city wall was enveloped by this loud sound for a long time.

The sound that could be heard from thousands of meters away, and the group of cultivators gathered in the hut naturally bore the brunt.

Yu Zhenzhen, who stretched out his hand to hit the body of the bronze statue, and Ji Yiming, who grabbed it in his hand, were the first to receive the impact. The two of them only felt that the whole person from hair to toes was "wrapped" by a crispy and numb bursting feeling, and every musculoskeletal part of the whole person was shaking wildly uncontrollably.

At first, a loud sound could be heard in the ear, but after less than half a second, it became a silent silence, as if everything in the whole world had lost sound, and the five most basic human senses of "eyes, ears, mouth, nose and body" were directly deprived of the second one, and they could no longer "hear" anything.

The situation of the two of them was like this, and the remaining more than a dozen cultivators in the room, even including Dao Sect Sect Master Ji Daoyan and Ying Xingtian, a top martial arts master realm, all encountered the same feelings as Ji Yiming's true feelings.

His body trembled, and his ears roared until he could no longer hear anything.

Fortunately, all the people present were martial arts realm cultivators or above, and even if they were shocked like this, there was no rupture of the eardrum and bleeding from the mouth and nose.

Ji Yiming's strength is the weakest, and he is a little worse than the logistics minister Niu Chuxiong, who does not belong to the battle sequence, but although he holds the bronze god statue in his hand and receives the strongest impact, the internal breath of the "Taiyi Immortal Formula" in the meridians in his body automatically circulates at the first time, canceling out all the vibrations received by the musculoskeletal body.

He saw that Yu Zhenzhen on his side showed a little pain on his face, and he even had the strength to raise his hand and press on her shoulder, and sent a few internal breaths into it-the "Taiyi Immortal Formula" internal breath, which has a miraculous effect on the "Yin and Yang Snake", is not weak in effect on people.

As the inner breath entered the body, the painful look on Yu Zhenzhen's face quickly disappeared. The phoenix eyes turned towards him, and opened his mouth as if he had said something, but in the "silent" environment of the entire world at this moment, he couldn't hear the specific content at all.

I don't know exactly how long it has been.

It felt like a moment, and it felt like a long time.

The huge "bell" finally quietly stopped, and everyone in the hut seemed to be frozen in time, and it took more than ten seconds before they began to slowly recover. Shaking his hands and feet, massaging his ears and muscles that were still trembling, even Ji Daoyan and Ying Xingtian were no exception.

Only Ji Yiming and Yu Zhenzhen, who was crossed into a "Taiyi Longevity Formula" by him, instantly returned to their normal state as if they were fine: "This is...... Loud voice?"

β€”β€”Fang Cai's state is indeed very similar to the situation described in the "Tao Te Ching" written by Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism, as "the elephant is invisible, and the sound is loud".

"Inside this bronze statue, there is a formation. Ying Xingtian's eyes shrank, looking at the statue that was still rusty and looked no different from the things that had been discarded in the scrap yard, and his tone was a little solemn: "According to the records of the classics in the Qianlong Yuan, this does not need to be inlaid with energy gems on the outside, and it can be directly driven by internal breath alone. ”

"Magic weapon. ”

Ji Daoyan continued what he hadn't finished, and the expression in his eyes was equally solemn: "The inheritance has been severed, and even the magical treasures that are rarely circulated in the entire cultivator world. ”

Having said this, he turned his gaze to the rag bag that Ji Yiming tied to his back that could hold Gu snakes: "Except for the pockets that can only hold Gu worms in the Insect Dao Inheritance, this is the first time I have seen this kind of legendary thing in my life. ”

Ying Xingtian nodded slightly from the side: "Me too." ”

"If this thing hadn't been affected by the space-time formation and become what it is now, the effect would definitely be more than just a 'loud sound and a loud voice' vision. He turned his head to look at Niu Chuxiong, the only one who had seen the appearance of the god statue before: "I'm afraid that in addition to affecting the cultivator's mental and emotional feelings, there are more strange effects. ”

So is this thing really cast by the Qing Dynasty cultivators who built the entire underground city back then?

Or is it from a more distant and ancient lineage?

When everyone had the same puzzle in their hearts, Niu Chuxiong, who was being watched by Ying Xingtian, suddenly frowned, and remembered something extremely important: "By the way, I forgot to mention it just now." ”

"That top Grandmaster Realm master outside once said the name of this city...... It's called 'Huining'!"

……

……

The northern slope of Tianchang Mountain.

Always maintained a state of extreme vigilance, and the six "criminal soldiers" Zhu Huang, who had avoided the searchlights of the hidden dragon yuan and the traces of the night watchman all the way, finally climbed to a place less than fifty meters away from the peak.

And at this position, even if the searchlight that shot hundreds of meters straight out could no longer shine on them, as long as the members of the Hidden Dragon Yuan who were on duty at night on the edge of the cliff took a little probe, they could clearly see the group of two-meter giants hidden in the snowdrifts.

But perhaps because of the "darkness under the lights", none of the members of the Hidden Dragon Yuan Combat Department who were on duty on the side of the cliff on the north slope poked their heads out to look at the cliff clearing that was close at hand.

Zhu Huang squinted his eyes slightly, and half-squatted in the snow with one of his subordinate witch masters and four high-grade wizard masters, and his fingers lightly drew a few symbols on the snow surface that formed a thin sheet of ice next to him.

Several people looked at each other with crossed eyes, and then nodded at him with great care.

"Three. ”

"II. ”

"One. ”

After the countdown in the air with finger strokes was over, one of the high-grade wizard masters with a full beard suddenly got up directly, and then rushed towards the east side of the cliff on the other side.

The footsteps are heavy, and the snow is splashing. In the silent night of Tianchang Mountain, this movement was as eye-catching as a bright light suddenly lit up in the dark night - the attention of the three members of the Hidden Dragon Yuan Warhead on the top of the spinning was quickly attracted by him, and while adjusting the angle of the searchlight to the east, he shouted: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

In an instant, the members of the Hidden Dragon Yuan, who had already slept separately in the tent, quickly got up and were collectively ready for battle in just a few seconds. The more than a dozen warriors closest to the night man quickly converged with the former, and chased directly towards the figure of the same color in the snow.

The rest of the people did not rush in droves, but were trained to form several queues and surround the humble wooden pavilion.

As a member of the battle-hardened Qianlong Yuan Battle Department, even if Zheng Changlin, the head of the Supreme Command Battle Department, was not there, he could make the most accurate judgment with simple information: an enemy suddenly appeared in the middle of the night, and the possibility of a frontal enemy attack was definitely far less than the possibility of diverting the tiger from the mountain.

And at this moment, the most important thing on the top of Tianchang Mountain is naturally connected to the underground ruins, and it has already entered the small wooden pavilion of the three waves of people. Although the previous formation was destroyed, the simple module formation rearranged by Yan Siguang could still operate normally, and if it was approached by the enemy, it would be the most fatal thing.

The remaining five members of the "torturers", who had been hiding motionless in the snowdrift at the bottom of the cliff and burying their entire bodies in it almost like ostriches, sensed the situation above, and even as a hostile force, they couldn't help but secretly admire it in their hearts.

Among all the existing cultivator organizations in Huaxia, only Qianlong Yuan, who has the longest inheritance time and has always maintained an advantage over all the other organizations, can have such a professional combat quality.

However, their hearts were calm, and there was no frustration.

A moment later, the high-grade wizard master who was rushing towards the east suddenly burst into a loud shout, and crushed four or five top-quality East China Sea crystal gems in his hand in a row, and shouted: "Please !! the ancestral witch on your body."

Four or five translucent phantoms flashed in the air, and the top powerful ancestors such as "Bei Harvest", "Zhu Rong", "Di Jiang", and "Gonggong" quickly submerged into his body, and his whole person swelled up as if he was blowing, and he directly turned into a small Roshan-like giant with a height of two meters and twenty or thirty centimeters in his footsteps.

"It's the sorcerer of the 'torturers'!"

Not only were they chasing a few people, but all the members of the Hidden Dragon Yuan Battle Department who were guarding the Xiaomu Pavilion dozens of meters away recognized the vision that would only appear when this witch master invited the ancestral witch to come up, and their faces suddenly turned cold.

"It's a group of untrustworthy reckless people!"

"This is not the leader of the torturers, nor is it the Witch Sect Master. This guy dares to invite four or five ancestral witches to come up at the same time, don't die? Be careful, don't get too close!

"Watch out for anyone else touching it!"

"Keep your mouth alive and ask them for their purpose. ”

Although the members of the combat department continued to say various suggestions, they were always busy and not chaotic, and they did not come over to help because they saw that the escapees had invited four or five ancestral witches to come up at the same time: of course the members of the Hidden Dragon Yuan had this confidence, if seven or eight people could not capture a wizard of the same level alive, what would they talk about the largest organization in the world?!

It's just that the dozen or so warhead members are getting closer and closer to the "enemy" and are almost about to catch him in the back.

The whole body of this small giant man like a mountain of flesh suddenly became magnificent, and four or five ancestral witch phantoms were intertwined, sometimes condensed and sometimes scattered, and then lasted less than two seconds...... It just exploded completely.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"
