"You're finally back!"

As soon as she followed the little girl into the village, what she saw was Gu Xiqian, who was waiting by the side early, was completely ungentle, and greeted her very eagerly.

"How's it going?" he asked, but he didn't wait for her to answer, and dragged her excitedly, "Come, I'll show you something!"

But he pulled out a crumpled piece of paper.

Speaking to himself.

"You also know, except for a few unheard of and unseen formations hidden in this world, most of the ancient books we use now, whether it is small, large, killing array, phantom array, etc., are recorded by predecessors and passed down from generation to generation. ”

"One of them is a process of taking the essence and removing the dross, and with this process, the method of arranging the formation we have learned is always more concise and neat. ”

"What do you mean—" She was a little dazed by all his movements, and she was stunned for a long time before she could catch up with his train of thought.

"In this case, just by looking at the array diagram, it is difficult for us to figure out the true intentions of the arrayers!" Gu Xiqian held the paper and emphasized, "If it was a long time ago, almost every step of the formation had a certain principle, and we could clearly identify the intention in this order." And now—"

"If we set up a peach blossom array now, it would take a maximum of six steps, but in ancient times, there were no less than twenty. What is omitted from this is the principle of the formation that we don't know. ”

"You're trying to say—"

As if confirming her suspicions, Gu Xiqian was as happy as she laughed for the first time.

"In normal times, even if you have such thoughts, you don't have the ability to explore one or two. Isn't that an opportunity right now?"

"Oh, that's why you asked the village chief this morning - just because he was also a disciple of the First Immortal Sect at least five thousand years ago?"

"Hmm!"

"And what did you find?"

"Hmm. He looked a little serious, "I was about to tell you about it." ”

"I gave a rough account of the conditions and characteristics of the stone forest that we had been around, and asked carefully for a long time. If there is no doubt that it is wrong—it is a teleportation formation. ”

"Where is the teleportation array?"

"It should be the Evil Sea to Ningxu. ”

"Impossible!" she categorically denied, "As early as five thousand years when the sea of clouds changed, such as Immortal Island, that is, Ningxu has been isolated and protected from all sides, and there will never be a place to communicate with the outside world, otherwise why would so many powerful predecessors at the beginning could only wait for death or desperately cross the sea?"

"Yes, I also asked the village chief about this, and he said that this is most likely their teleportation array from that period. Because of the increasing prosperity of the Immortal Island and the Yuan Zhou Continent, the connection between the people in the two places has gradually increased, so the major factions have invested a lot of material resources and manpower to build several large teleportation arrays. ”

"It's just that as you said, after the abnormal change in the sea of clouds occurred, the formation that was originally inseparable from nature suddenly became invalid due to the sudden change in the environment, and it was like a waste formation. ”

"It's like a wasted battle. She chewed on the word and suddenly raised her head, "Could it be that there is still a case? Otherwise, how can we explain that we are obviously thousands of miles away in the interior of Ningxu, but in an instant, we have arrived at the Yuanzhou coast near the evil sea?"

"No, no more than that. Gu Xiqian smiled bitterly, "That formation is useless, and the reason why we are here is not this." The village chief said that our situation with them is somewhat similar and different, but because they came here vaguely, they are not able to solve our doubts. ”

"And what I'm trying to say is—" he said earnestly, "do you remember that stone forest?"

"That's a formation as well. ”

“…… However, it doesn't seem to be any different. She hesitated a little when she remembered it.

"It's a small formation, and it's also an ancient formation, but it hasn't been circulated because it doesn't have much practicality, and even the village chief thought about it for a long time before he remembered it. ”

"This formation is a maintenance formation. ”

It is mainly arranged on the periphery of the formation, so as to add concealment and extension to the main formation inside, so that the main formation can play a better role. However, many people are not patient with this, because we all know that we can achieve the same effect by adding a few more banners or placing some hedrons. ”

"Could it be that it was established together with this teleportation array?" she heard his metaphor, "After all, it is a formation from the same period, and it is a teleportation array where people come and go, and arranging this stone forest is probably also for fear that the teleportation array will fail, and the powerful predecessors will be untimely for a while?"

"The material is different. ”

"Actually, this stone forest, according to the village chief, should not be built of stones. Although the formation is small, it is rare to be of any use, but the material requires a lot of effort - a kind of red jade found in the Yuan Zhou Continent. And after the vicious transformation of the sea of clouds, not only was the aura suddenly lost in Yuan Zhouzhong, but even those heavenly and earthly treasures and so on became the most ordinary objects. ”

"This red jade stone can no longer be found, naturally, this stone forest must have been built now. ”

"And I think the most important thing is—"

"—Why did they build this formation?"

"Did they already know about this teleportation array that they shouldn't have known?"

"Are they plotting against this teleportation array and want to restore it?"

"All of this makes us have to be vigilant. ”

Liluo pressed his somewhat sore head, "Even if the teleportation array is reactivated, the other one is already surrounded by fierce beasts and swallowed by black mist, so what's the use?"

As she said this, her hands paused, and slowly, her originally thoughtful expression became a little solemn, her eyes were slightly frightened and incredulous, looking back at Gu Xiqian, who also opened her eyes suddenly.

“…… Wouldn't it?"

In the middle of the night, she whispered.

"Secret gatherings, hunts of the dead, and those strange people, strange number plates......"

Gu Xiqian muttered.

Raising his head and looking at the moon in the desolate night sky above the village, he narrowed his eyelashes.

"Really...... You have to take it to heart, this matter. ”

……

On the second day, after hearing Liluo's complaint, Gu Xiqian was also unpredictable about the powerful behavior of the person on the cliff. It was only from the words she recalled that the great power should have known about the entry and exit of this island.

So the two visited again early in the morning.

However, he lost yesterday's luck, and before he reached the stone steps of the hall, the voice full of energy appeared again, and in a flash, the two of them were waved down the mountain again.
