Chapter 1050: The Problem
Shi Jiu's eyes were firm when he said this, and he couldn't see any bias or jokes, and the old man sitting on the rock frowned, and then snorted.
"Hmm, this is what you asked for?!" The little old man seemed to have misheard Shi Jiu's words, and he said in surprise and disdain: "I will fulfill you, and I will give you a stick of incense to crack the formation, and now it satisfies your vanity?!"
Shi Jiu still waved his hand and smiled: "The time of a stick of incense? No, no, no~! This has nothing to do with vanity, because you have given such time for too long!"
"You?" the old man's beard curled, his face slowly changed from disdain to disgust, and the old man sneered: "Isn't it that you have already retreated?
Shi Jiu smiled: "You still misunderstand what I mean, what I want to say is that it is still a bit wasteful to spend a stick of incense on the time to crack the stream water array!"
The old man stood up angrily from the rock, he stared at Shi Jiu and asked, "Okay~!I'll hand over the time to break the formation, as long as it's not more than a stick of incense!"
"Why do you need time for a stick of incense?!" Shi Jiu still waved his hand, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and at the same time, Shi Jiu stretched out a finger and said, "One breath is enough!"
The little old man stared at Shi Jiuzu standing in the stream array for half a minute. He shook his head in disbelief and said, "The good young man has a beautiful skin, and it turns out that there is only a braggart essence in his heart!"
"It's useless to talk too much, I will use practical actions to tell you what it means to seek truth from facts and what it means to brag!" Shi Jiu said firmly: "The time of a breath will not change, please calculate it clearly, of course, please read it carefully!"
The old man sighed and said: "Hey~!I'm afraid your big words are too much! Although you have mastered the ability to fly in the sky, you haven't really faced the big array of Su Lao Peak, when you are really trapped in the formation, you won't be so self-righteous, and if you don't get it, you will be embarrassed, so you have to pay taxes to brag here!"
"Su Lao Feng's formation is indeed mysterious, and I also believe that there are many people who are embarrassed because of this!" Shi Jiu couldn't help but nod when he thought of what happened to Bo Dongfang, he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers and whispered: "If you don't have any other requirements, we'll start the timer!"
Shi Jiu said that, his figure shook for a moment, and he actually disappeared from the clear and bright stream, as if Shi Jiu had never appeared in Su Laofeng.
The old man on the rock only felt that his eyes were in a trance, and in less than a breath, Shi Jiu's figure reappeared, but he was no longer standing in the water, but standing on the rock, standing side by side with the surprised little old man beside him.
The little old man watched Shi Jiu suddenly disappear from the stream, and instantly appeared in his body, he opened his mouth wide in horror, and he had nothing to say for a while.
"The formation has been broken~!It should be a breathing time, or less than a breathing time!" Shi Jiu smiled slightly, and he said confidently: "Old man, I shouldn't be wrong when I say that, right?!"
The little old man woke up from his trance, and he grinned and said, "It's broken, it's broken!"
"Judging from the current results, it can be regarded as me breaking this stream water array, right?" Shi Jiu looked at the little old man's ambiguous words and still asked, "Don't you want to admit that your formation was easily cracked by me?"
The little old man stared at Shi Jiu and hesitated for a while, then he stammered: "The formation we set up is undoubtedly broken! But it can't be like this, it can't be like this~!How could you crack the stream array of our Su Lao Peak so easily?!"
"Is there a break in the formation to speak with facts!" Shi Jiu gently patted the little old man's shoulder and said with a smile: "Take a closer look, I am indeed standing by your side, is there a more convincing result than this?"
The little old man looked at Shi Jiuzai carefully, sighed and said, "Hey~! I have to admit that you won! You are the first outsider to crack the stream water array, and the speed of breaking the formation can be described as ancient and unique!"
"Old gentleman, don't praise me, because I still remember that we had a gambling contract before breaking the formation!" Shi Jiu clasped his fists and bowed his hand and said, "According to our previous gentleman's agreement, can you answer me a question now?"
The little old man blinked his eyes and asked, "You only need one answer, of course there is no problem for us Su Laofeng." But I want to know how you cracked the stream array in an instant, and if someone secretly assisted you?"
"You don't believe that my own strength can easily break the formation!" Shi Jiu couldn't help but laugh and said: "Hehe~! I'll tell you the truth, if I hadn't experienced a similar formation, I would have been in a lot of trouble today." ”
The little old man asked suspiciously: "Have you experienced a similar formation? Where is it? Who set up such a formation? Could it be that we are also from Su Lao Feng?"
The little old man's series of questions made Shi Jiu a little unsure where to start, and he immediately smiled: "The formation I experienced was definitely not set up by the people on Su Lao Peak, and it can even be said that it was not set up by the human race. ”
"Isn't it a formation set up by the human race?" Hearing Shi Jiu's narration, the little old man was a little unbelievable, and he asked in surprise, "Could it be that there are other wisdoms?"
Shi Jiu nodded and said, "It's really not a formation set up by the human race~! It is an existence in the underworld, to be precise, a grimace tarantula." The cobwebs it laid to trap me. ”
"Grimace tarantula?" the old man frowned and thought for a while and said, "I've never heard of such an existence, is it a spirit animal or something?"
Shi Jiu smiled slightly and said: "It should be regarded as a spirit beast, the grimace tarantula is a unique spirit beast living in the underworld, I remember very clearly, at that time I was facing the large spider web array laid by the grimace tarantula, which was also condensed by using the power of the five elements in nature, whether it is strength or structure, it is similar to the stream water array you set up today." ”
"I see, no wonder you can crack my stream. The little old man sighed and said, "But the time for you to crack the formation is too fast, so I can't believe that someone in this world will crack such a mysterious formation in an instant!"
Shi Jiu said with a smile: "I was able to crack the stream water array so easily, to a large extent, thanks to your overconfidence when you set up the formation!"
"Well, listen to what you have to say!" the old man smiled, "Excuse me, how do you say this?"
Shi Jiu pointed to the scattered rocks around him and said, "If you evacuate the people who control the power of the Five Elements a little farther, or make them completely invisible without showing a trace, even if you give me an hour, or even two hours, I can't despise cracking the formation, let alone breathing for such a short time!"
"Mmmm~!It seems that we are overconfident!" The little old man nodded and said, "It turns out that the people I arranged around were also discovered by you, so I didn't lose unjustly!"
Shi Jiu smiled and said, "Your formation is very ingenious, and your spell casting is also very unusual, so I just cracked the formation by luck!"
"Don't you want to know an answer?" the little old man said helplessly: "You ask, as long as I know, I will know everything, and I will say everything." Even if I don't know, I'll find a way to answer for you!"
"That's very good!" Shi Jiu smiled, "I wonder if the old man of Tianji is somewhere on this island. Or, where is he? Can you tell me?"
The little old man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed and said: "You actually want to know the whereabouts of the old man Tianji, this question of yours is really tricky enough, and it completely stumped me!"
"Hey~!I can't get the answer I want even if I crack the stream water array!" Shi Jiu asked with some disappointment: "It seems that the old man of Tianji is no longer on this old peak!"
The little old man shook his head, nodded again, and said, "It is true that the old man of Tianji is not on the top of Su Lao Peak now, but after he left here, he told us where Su Lao went. ”
"You mean that the old man of Tianji has been here?" Shi Jiu's mood became excited again, and he hurriedly asked, "Did he tell me where to go?"
The little old man said: "His whereabouts have only been told to our old man, but how can we, the little characters, know?"
"Su Lao, it must be the master of Su Lao Peak, please take me to see Su Lao!" Shi Jiu said sincerely: "I want to ask Su Lao in person, I want to know the whereabouts of the old man Tianji, because this is very important to me!"
The little old man said embarrassedly: "Finding our old man is no different from finding the old man of Tianji, their traces are like a drop in the ocean, and finding them is like looking for a needle in a haystack, because he has no fixed residence at all, maybe at the peak, maybe at the bottom of the valley, or maybe by our side." ”
"How can it be so strange?" Shi Jiu asked puzzledly, "Since Su Lao is here, there must be a way to find him!"
The little old man shrugged his shoulders and said, "Our old man has long turned decay into magic, and his figure is everywhere, just like the stream water array you just experienced, this is one of the formations laid by his old man's own hands. In other words, our elders have been integrated into every big and small formation. ”
Shi Jiu looked at the winding Sulao Peak, where the vegetation is abundant, the strange rocks are craggy, and the streams and waterfalls can be seen everywhere, looking for a person who has deliberately hidden his figure in such an environment is indeed like looking for a needle in a haystack.
