Chapter 918: Cocooning Yourself
Saying goodbye to the caravan steward, Lu Yi was not in a hurry to enter the city. Instead, he carefully studied each rune and circled around the exterior of the Jade City. To say that the design of this jade city does have some ingenuity, don't look at the jade city area is not large, the city wall is not high, but it actually has thirteen city gates, and the middle position of each city gate is hung with a big pearl, these pearls are not the same in color or texture, the city wall also corresponds to thirteen sides, usually the city gate is wide open, no matter from which direction you can enter the city. Lu Yi found that no matter what kind of cultivator wants to enter the city, he must pass through the city gate, and it is impossible to fly over or teleport in. Lu Yi circled around the city wall, memorized all the runes engraved on the city wall, and planned to draw them out and study them carefully after he returned.
After the turn, Lu Yi was thoughtfully outside the city and didn't know what he was thinking, until the sun set, he suddenly woke up, glanced at Lin and Li who were waiting quietly next to him, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I was distracted just now, let's go, let's go into the city and have a look." With that, he took the lead in entering the unguarded gate of freedom.
Within the city gate, an avenue leads straight ahead, on both sides of the avenue are rows of neat houses and businesses, although the population here is not much, but because of the flow of people in the past, so the business is also very developed, Lu Yi along the avenue, until he walked to the center of the city, here is a square square with a radius of thousands of feet, a square platform in the middle of the square is the teleportation array, there are three people under the stage set up a table while drinking tea and chatting, some want to borrow the teleportation array to come to the front of the three people, explain where to go, hand over the spirit stone to deal with, one person took out a formation disk to control the center, after a little stroke, let the person who needs to teleport stand in the array, embed the corresponding spirit stone into the teleportation array to activate it, and the person who wants to teleport will disappear without a trace after a flash of inspiration.
Lu Yi counted, there are a total of thirteen avenues leading from the thirteen city gates to here, and it seems that there are other mysteries hidden here.
It was getting late, and the four corners of the square platform outside the teleportation array lit up four butter candles, illuminating the snow all around, even at night, there would be people who came to hurriedly hand over the spirit stone and inform the whereabouts, and hurriedly stepped into the formation and disappeared. Lu Yi was not in a hurry, so he bypassed the teleportation array and casually found a post house that looked good to stay.
On the second day, Lu Yi slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, and he has been busy rushing for a while recently, he thinks that it is still relatively "hard", of course, for his statement, it still attracted the eyes of Lin and Li, and the two even wondered, how did such a lazy person achieve the complete cultivation of the Dan Formation Method? After eating a hearty lunch, Lu Yi proposed to stay in Yucheng for a few more days, he was very interested in everything here, because it was still relatively stable here, so he also gave Lin and Li a leave of absence, let them move freely, do whatever they want, if they don't want to go out for activities, they can also meditate and cultivate, and when Lu Yi wants to leave, he will notify them. It just so happened that the two of them had been following Lu Yi all these days, and they had not spared time to digest some of the cultivation that had been improved from the twenty-four Jiao Zhou Tian Great Array, so the two of them invariably chose to retreat, in this way, it was much easier for Lu Yi to find them, Lu Yi was so happy, so he walked out of the post house alone and walked around the jade city alone.
There is not much of a small city in total, Lu Yi has walked all the thirteen avenues, and he thinks that he can go to all the places, and he now has a new understanding of this small city. In addition to the strange design of the thirteen city gates, thirteen sections and thirteen avenues, there must be a building in the area between every two roads in the city, and the location of the building is exactly the middle of the midpoint of the section of the city wall between the two city gates and the connection line of the teleportation array in the center of the city. If these thirteen buildings were connected, it would become a small city with half the area of the original city centered on the central teleportation array. Lu Yi had an idea, and carefully measured the area of the entire Jade City, and found that no more, no less, it was exactly thirteen miles, all of this was too much of a coincidence, right? When Wang Chihu first introduced this Jade City to himself, he said that it was said that this Jade City seemed to have been arranged by the city lord Chen Yunzi with an extremely powerful eighth-order array, which could trap the monks in the middle and even late stages of Spirit Building, could it be that these arrangements related to the Thirteenth were some of the keys to the legendary magic circle?
Lu Yi is standing in front of a three-story building looking at the building engraved with runes, this is the fifth day that Lu Yi has come to this small city, in the past five days, Lu Yi has visited the thirteen buildings one by one, although he has never entered it, but just seeing the runes engraved on the outer body of those buildings is enough to make him believe that these buildings must have a close relationship with the entire city's array, he tried to understand the runes engraved on these buildings, but found that he could not comprehend at all, so he used the method of forcible memory, and recorded all the runes on each building and its location on the building, I plan to study it slowly when I have the opportunity in the future. Suddenly, Lu Yi heard an old voice coming into his ears, "Doll, you've been looking at it for so long, have you ever seen something?"
Lu Yi looked left and right, but didn't see anyone there, and then the voice sounded again, "I've been observing you for a long time, you've looked all the way, and you've carefully inspected all the thirteen buildings, have you ever seen the doorway above?"
Lu Yi couldn't find anyone, so he saluted the small building in front of him from afar, and said respectfully: "The seniors, the juniors are stupid, they only know that this is some kind of clever formation arrangement, but they can't understand it at all." ”
"You should be a formation mage, right?What level is it now?Fourth Order?" the old man asked.
"The junior is now a fifth-order array mage, and he has already touched the edge of the sixth-order, but he hasn't been able to go any further. Lu Yi bowed.
"What?!You have such a high attainment?How old are you?" Obviously, the old voice was very surprised by Lu Yi's answer.
"The younger generation is not talented, and since childhood, I have been studying the formation, and I am fortunate to meet the teacher, so I will progress a little faster. "Lu Yi is still very modest.
"Oh, who is your master? the old monster of the west wind or the Ming Canghai? or... The old man said a few names.
"The juniors don't know these people mentioned by the seniors, the juniors are from the Southern Regions, and the family teacher is Yaoshan Jin Dongzi, and now he is an eighth-order formation grandmaster. Lu Yi replied truthfully.
"Oh, no wonder, I'm talking about a few old monsters who know how to form in the Western Regions, and there are only a few of them who can teach such excellent apprentices in the Western Regions. Since you are from the Southern Regions, why did you run so far to the hinterland of the Western Regions?" the old man continued to ask.
"The younger generation has a little friendship with several princesses and princes of the Burning Pheasant Kingdom, this time I came to the Western Regions to travel, first went to the Burning Pheasant Country to meet with my old friend, and then planned to go to the Lingxing Kingdom to visit another old man, and was pointed out that there is a teleportation array that leads directly to the Western Regions Lingxing Country, so I came to this jade city, but I didn't expect that before I entered the city, I was attracted by the magic circle arranged on the city wall, and these days through an in-depth tour of the city found that the city seems to be a whole for a while, and these buildings that I have seen these days must be some components of this large array, so I was curious, I wanted to study it, but I had no choice but to find that I couldn't understand it at allThis formation seems too profound for a formation mage of my level. Lu Yi didn't intend to lie about this.
"Hehe, you're right, this formation is a bit difficult for you, in fact, it's not just you, it's me, this person who built this formation with my own hands, I think this formation is so difficult!" The old voice let out two dry laughs, and the laughter was full of helplessness and embarrassment.
Lu Yi was taken aback when he heard this, "Senior, aren't you the master of this place, the eighth-order formation master of Jade City, Qian Yunzi?"
"That's right, the old man is Chen Yunzi, it's just that this formation master is a master, and the old man thinks that he still can't afford it!" The old voice finally pointed out his identity.
"Senior Qian Yunzi, why did you say this?" Lu Yi was a little confused when he heard it.
"Have you ever seen a formation grandmaster who set up a magic circle and then trapped himself in the formation, and he hasn't been able to get out of it for thousands of years?" Chen Yunzi laughed at himself.
"What, you said you were trapped by your own array?" Lu Yi's surprise was not trivial.
"Alas, this matter is a long story, the old man spent his whole life trying to build an ancient strange array, just this site took more than three hundred years, and finally settled here, and it took hundreds of years to arrange and perfect my formation, planning to use this to surpass the threshold of the eighth-order array mage, and step into the ranks of the ninth-order array mage in one fell swoop, but I didn't want to, I exhausted the 'Jade Thirteen Stars Fulong Array' that I had worked hard to design, but finally after the completion of the operation, it started to run on its own, trapping me, the person who set up the array. In fact, this array is not perfect, its control part of the formation has not really been completed, I have been looking for a way out of the formation for thousands of years but have never been able to, I am now both the main formation and the trapped person, I can mobilize most of the functions of this array, but I can't let myself out of this array, otherwise, when I step out of this city, it is when I attract the power of the stars to destroy me, although the old man has stepped into the late stage of the spirit building, but still firmly believes that he can't resist the terrifying ability of the heavens, earth and stars to destroy the world, this matter I feel ridiculous。 Chen Yunzi's words made Lu Yi stupid on the spot again.
