Chapter Eighty-Five: Blackwater
Every time they went out, Gu Xiaoxiao would draw some charms for them, such as light talismans and levitation techniques, so that they could go further.
There will be four people going out every time, and the rest will explore in the city, Gu Xiaoxiao and her group will be assigned to explore in the city, because no matter what, the city is always safer than the outside, just in the three days that they stayed here, they have experienced at least four sandstorms, and quicksand will randomly appear in the three hours after each sandstorm. This is the law that Yang Yan and they derived. So I don't have much time to go out every time. And there's no daylight here, they rely on hourglasses to keep time. An hourglass used to be six hours. That's twelve hours.
Gu Xiaoxiao and the others have been searching this small city for a long time, but the progress is very slow. It stands to reason that the city is not big and there are not many people, so three days should be more than enough, but in reality it is not.
In this city, both outside and inside, there are very exquisite formations!
It doesn't matter if it's in the street or in the house, everywhere. Gu Xiaoxiao and his party only barely searched one street, and this was because there were two disciples of Xuanmen Peak.
While flipping through the formation book, I had a headache comparing the formations, a line of eight people, and everyone's formation felt improved.
At first, none of these formations could be seen, but Yaoqin found that these formations were all reversed and retrograde, so now to solve the formation, you must first push the formation back, and then see which category it belongs to, and then reverse the solution.
If everyone is learning the formation, Yaoqin can be regarded as the best among them. In just three days of study, his attainments are no less than those of these two Qimen Peak disciples who have been practicing for two years.
As soon as there was a problem now, the two Qimen Peak disciples pulled Yaoqin to discuss, and before they knew it, Yaoqin had perfectly integrated into the Xunzong. Faintly led by Yaoqin.
Gu Xiaoxiao watched proudly and happily from the side. Originally, she was still thinking about how to take Yaoqin and Qin Shen back, but now, don't worry, just those two Qimen Peak disciples will definitely not let Gu Xiaoxiao go.
Qimen Peak and Tibetan Yan Peak both belong to the relatively unpopular road of cultivating immortals. One is to keep studying the formation, Zangyan Peak is a formation that can draw an invisible spell to kill people at will, and Qimen Peak is a formation that can lay down a formation that can make people unable to get out of their lives, and it can also be full of killing machines. Once you learn it well, you will be able to destroy the enemy without much effort.
But what is worse than Qimen Peak is that there is a fault line in inheritance. It's all supported by a senior brother, and the master has nothing left. It was the same great war fifty years ago. Died of exhaustion.
Only the senior brother Yan Qi was left, and there were only six junior disciples under the door, who were usually taught by the senior brother, but the senior brother also had to practice, and when he was in retreat, he could only read books and study by himself. Fortunately, the book on the formation is very complete, and I can learn by myself, at most, there are some knowledge that I don't understand and need to be talked about by the senior brother.
If Yaoqin is so talented, they must like it very much, and it is inevitable that they will encounter problems when they study on their own, so they will have to discuss it with the same door, if Yaoqin joins them and learns quickly, then they can guide them and let them avoid detours.
"Here, it's an altar......" Yaoqin looked up. They had been following a path all along, and now they had probably solved it in the middle of the town. I only saw a big black stone scepter standing in this square, and the base below was engraved, Youquan Town. The base was a small pool, bubbling out and seeping through the ditch around the base, and strangely, the water was black.
Yaoqin and the others didn't dare to start cracking the formation. I'm afraid of accidents.
Qin Shen said, "Otherwise, when Senior Brother Yang Yan comes back, let's break it here again, let's solve the formations in other places first." So after everyone agreed, they chose the opposite street.
"There are flowers and plants here!" said one of the Sword Peak disciples who was walking at the front of the group.
It was the first time they had seen anything alive in the desert after so long they had been in the desert.
Chen Qi, who was walking at the back of the line, walked through the crowd at once, ran to the front, and looked outside the enchantment for a while, his excited voice trembled, "This is the Spirit Flower! It's at least four hundred years old." ”
Seeing the puzzled eyes of the people around him, Chen Qi suppressed his excitement and explained to everyone, "You know the Spirit Solution, but the Spirit Solution, is actually a substitute for the Spirit Flower, the earliest Spirit Solution, was cultivated with the last Spirit Flower in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, but it only inherited the effect of the Spirit Flower. ”
After speaking, he cleared his throat again, and continued to explain with his eyes shining, his Qingfeng disciple was almost happy to death, okay, he actually encountered an extinct herb, "The Spirit Phantom Flower actually existed fifty years ago, but I don't know why, the Yin Qi of the Immortal Cultivation Realm was lost all of a sudden, and many Spirit Grasses that needed to live in the place of the Essence Yin Qi slowly became extinct. There are so many spirit flowers, which means that there is a lot of yin qi in this place! Maybe you can find other extinct spirit grasses! Although they need to live in a place where the yin qi is so strong, it is a thing of the supreme yang! They must be brought back to the sect, the sect has been looking for these things for a long time!"
"Let's quickly solve the formation!" Then Chen Qi squatted on the ground, looking at the runes, well, he still didn't understand much, sure enough, he was only suitable for serving herbs.
After wasting a lot of strength, Yao Qin wiped the sweat on her forehead, "The formation here is much more powerful, and it's quite complicated." "Everyone sat on the floor and discussed.
These days have been like this, when you are hungry, you eat, and when you are tired, you can find a dark corner to rest for a while, there is no night here, and there is no way to talk about a fixed time to sleep. It's just that I used the cleaning technique, so I didn't have to be sloppy,
By the time Yang Yan and the others came over, they had already made a little improvement in how to solve this formation.
"You've solved so much...... Yuan Sheng came over with a body of sand, and today he was a little bit back, and he almost went into the quicksand again. Now there is a pile of sand in the clothes. He had to trouble Gu Xiaoxiao to give him a cleaning technique.
Yang Yan was now in front of the statue, looking at the statue, and did not speak for a long time.
"Exactly. We're about to tell you this, so we're waiting for you to come back and get to the bottom of it. Xuan Qi and Xuan Ba walked over and patted Yang Yan on the shoulder. Xuan Qi and Xuan Ba are the two disciples of Qimen Peak, their generation is the Xuanzi generation, they are ranked seventh and eighth, and the lazy senior brother gave them a name in this way.
"You should have noticed that the water is dark. Xuan Qi said.
"Hmm. The first thing Yang Yan saw was the statue, and the second was this unique black water.
"So we didn't dare to move, now that you're back, just guard us by the side, and we can respond in time if there is any problem. Genba picked up the topic.
They have matured a lot during this period of time, and besides, the two of them are also the two most talented disciples in the sect, otherwise how could the senior brother let them carry the precious formation book with them. They also have a lot of means to save their lives, not to mention, their essence and blood are still in the sect, even if they encounter the worst, they can continue to live.
Breaking the formation is actually very dangerous, because at their level now, almost every formation has to start breaking half of it before they know whether it is a defensive formation or an offensive formation. Fortunately, all the formations in this town are defensive and there is no danger.
But the formation in front of this statue is different, I feel that this is a very important venue, and I can't say that this formation is aggressive, after all, their group of people is considered an intruder.
"It's going to be fine, don't worry. Yang Yan knew a little bit what kind of secret realm this secret realm was, but he wasn't sure, he had to confirm it through some more things, so he didn't say it now.
He was also in the Dan period, and when he went out to practice, he was looking for a secret realm to practice, and when he went out, he happened to see a secret realm in the library pavilion, which was very similar to this place, but that secret realm disappeared fifty years ago.
If it's really that secret realm, then it's a big trouble. What is the secret realm of the Dan period, impossible.
This is one of the ancient secret realms where people can die at any time during their infancy. Fortunately, as soon as they fell, it was a desert, and fortunately, they did not encounter quicksand and arrived at the ancient city.
"Then we'll do it. After saying that, the three of them began to make handprints around the altar, and the others wanted to help, but the three of them refused. I don't know if it's dangerous or not, or it's better to have fewer people. It's a little slower, but it's safe.
"Great, it's a defensive formation!" After drawing for most of the day, half of the solution was solved, and the formation that was launched was really just to protect this altar.
Solving the formation does not mean erasing the formation, it is equivalent to opening a hole in the formation, so that they can enter, and after a long time, this formation will be restored. Because they didn't use the method of breaking the formation, it was much more difficult, and they couldn't do it at the moment, so they could only learn it again in the Yudan period.
Since it is a defensive formation, don't worry, speed up the speed of the formation, and solve the formation before the second sandstorm comes.
Then a bunch of people looked at the flowing black water, Chen Qi took a long clear stick, stretched out into the river to explore, and then obviously did not touch the black water, Chen Qi also felt the biting cold, his face turned blue and black, and he took back his hand and the stick, and shivered and took out a red pill from the storage bag and fed it to his mouth.
I saw that Chen Qi's face was red and black, and after a while, it returned to normal, and without waiting for everyone to ask, he said to himself, "I originally used a bone needle to test whether it was poisonous, and then I found that this black water was too rich and liquefied by yin qi, and I was just entered by yin qi." It's fine if you don't touch it, and you can't touch it indirectly. ”
But he was not afraid of death, so he took out several wooden gourds, and the mouth of the bottle was facing the black water, and he poured black water into the gourd while swallowing the medicine. This is a good thing, and if you pick the spirit flower like this, you can bring it back to the sect to plant! He is really a witty disciple of the sect!
