090, phantom array

From that day on, the six of us began to practice breaking the formation under the guidance of Duan Cheng, the man in black, and at the beginning, everyone made frequent mistakes, and Duan Cheng, who was angry, scolded people but didn't do it, so he did it, but after practicing for about a week, we could cooperate very tacitly.

Duan Cheng told us that we must cooperate with the tacit understanding and heart-to-heart, otherwise if we enter the formation, once we make a small mistake, it may bring big trouble, and we will not be able to save our lives at that time.

Duan Cheng spent a day improving the soul seeking array downstairs, let us practice there, not to mention, there is really a problem in practicing here, after improving and practicing again, it is not far from the day of saving people.

Duan Cheng told us that the destination this time was a place under Mount Tai, where it was more difficult to walk, so it was better to go and see it earlier. The seven of us prepared and set off.

When we arrived at Mount Tai, it was already afternoon, but we unexpectedly saw the mentor, his appearance surprised us, Duan Cheng was also very surprised, thinking that he was here to stop us again.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here to pick up Xiao Yan, you do your business, don't worry about me." The instructor turned his head to look at the top of the mountain.

I secretly hid behind Lin Haoran and laughed.

Let's just say that he is a person, obviously he remembers it very much, but he just doesn't show it, and he looks like he is righteous and righteous, look, now it's leaking, in fact, it's nothing, I care, it's not ashamed to say it, anyway, I want to believe it, if something goes wrong with the person I care about, I must be the first to condole and care.

A group of eight of us are going to stay overnight under Mount Tai, and we will go to Mount Tai early tomorrow morning, first go to the top to observe what this so-called extremely powerful soul seeking array looks like, and then see if we can find the direction and method to break it, and then make a specific rescue plan.

At night, we sat on a small chair in front of the hotel and chatted, maybe one day I was a little tired after taking the car, so I leaned lightly on Lin Haoran's arms, they said, Lin Haoran and I listened, looking at Mount Tai in the distance, but the heart was a little not very calm.

This trip can be said to be extremely dangerous, I can't guarantee that I will come out alive, if I die inside, then what will Lin Haoran do? I don't want him to die with me, I want him to live well.

Thinking of this, I suddenly sat up straight, moved Lin Haoran to look at me, he looked at me with a puzzled face, I looked at him seriously and said, "Now I ask, you think, I want to tell the truth." ”

Without waiting for him to react, I asked, "What would happen to you if I died here?" ”

As soon as he frowned, I saw his thoughts: I won't live alone.

"No, you have to live, you have to live well, you can't die lightly, you have to live my share together, do you know?"

"What nonsense." He opened my hand and looked at me a little angrily, I knew he was angry, but I couldn't help it, if I didn't say it now, I was afraid that I wouldn't have a chance in the future.

"I didn't, what I said was what I want to sue you the most right now." I strictly sù sue him.

"No, I won't let you have anything to do, when this is over, I'll marry you, and if this continues, I'll be scared to death." Lin Haoran put his arm around me and said sullenly.

The conversation between the two of us also startled the four people who were talking, they looked at each other and smiled, yes, if they really died here, would anyone think about them anymore.

I sighed and felt that I didn't drive this head well, so I smiled and said, "So, after going up the mountain tomorrow, Xiao Wan and I must find the way and method to break the formation, otherwise we won't be afraid to wait a little longer, why can't we leave you here." ”

Xiao Wan looked at me with a smile and said, "Miss is right, I will take a closer look tomorrow, don't worry, I won't let you have anything." ”

Early the next morning, a group of eight of us headed to Mount Tai, and Duan Cheng, the man in black, pointed to the direction and told us that the soul seeking array was in that direction, and we should climb halfway up Mount Tai, and we could see the whole picture of the formation, because he would come to see it once a year, and it had been eighty years.

We climbed to that place together under his leadership, this road is not a regular mountain road, so no one repaired it, the road is very difficult to walk, plus it rained here a few days ago, the soil is still a little slippery, fortunately our equipment is the best external equipment, otherwise this road, if you only wear ordinary travel shoes, you will only slide down the mountain, it seems that the quality of this equipment is still very important.

I was thinking nonsense as I walked, I really didn't see the branch that came out of nowhere in front of my feet, and I tripped over it, so I rushed forward directly, thinking that this time it was over, and I would definitely have a close contact with the mountain, but I was about to land, and was tightly held in my arms by Lin Haoran.

"If you also slip when you walk, can't you be steady?" Lin Haoran looked at me angrily.

"Hey...... I smiled silly, got up from his arms, and walked up the hill, not talking to him again, or he would say mine again in a while.

"Slow down, watch your feet." Lin Haoran shouted urgently behind me.

"Got it." I replied immediately, thinking, don't talk about me anymore.

This mountain road is not easy to walk, we walked for a long time under the leadership of Duan Cheng, the man in black, before we reached the position he said, as soon as I saw it, I immediately sat on the ground, tired to death, as soon as I sat down, Lin Haoran came up and sat down against me, and took out a bottle of water for me.

"What are you doing so quickly, if you're afraid that I'll say, just be steady." Lin Haoran gasped and said.

"I ...... Oh, got it. I pouted, then looked left and right, turned my head and kissed him on the lips, to dissipate his anger, sure enough, this trick worked, Lin Haoran raised the corners of his lips, snatched the water in my hand and drank it.

After sitting on the ground and resting for a while, I was called by Duan Cheng, the man in black, who pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said, "There it is, take a look." ”

I followed his hand and looked over, there was a faint fog, probably because of the rain a few days ago, the fog blocked the original appearance of the place, I couldn't see it clearly, and I couldn't help frowning.

At this time, Xiao Wan also came over and handed me a telescope in his hand, and I took it with a smile and looked at it.

The fog is very light, but it can still be seen clearly, this is a big array, dozens of times larger than the array we usually practice, I can't help but wonder who built this array here, why did he build this array, what soul is he asking for? ghasts, murderous spirits?

Duan Cheng and the mentor were standing beside us, and the mentor sighed lightly and said: "This formation has been here for hundreds of years or longer, according to legend, it is to hold the soul of an evil demon so that it can no longer harm people, but it is also said that Jiang Ziya in the Shang and Zhou Dynasty built this array to hold the soul of the thousand-year-old fox demon, and it is also said that it is the formation built by Li Sijian, the prime minister of Qin Shi Huang, in order to hold the soul of Qin Shi Huang who tried the elixir and died, anyway, there are all kinds of it, and none of them are accurate, but this array is really powerful." ”

As I listened, I looked at it carefully, and suddenly I noticed something unusual, so I asked the people around me: "There seems to be a lake of water in this array, and now there is fog, if there is no fog, I can see a little clearly, and why do I feel a little strange?" ”

"Yes, there's a lake there, and when there's no fog, you'll see a lake with very clear water reflecting on it." Duan Cheng replied.

I took off the binoculars, looked at him, and said, "It's not clear, it's blood-red." ”

"What?" Duan Cheng was stunned for a moment and immediately snatched the telescope in my hand and looked at it, but after looking at it for a while, he took off the telescope and looked at me suspiciously: "It's clear, light blue water." ”

As soon as I heard it, no, why is it different from what I saw, and immediately grabbed Xiao Wan's telescope and looked at it, this is obviously red, the kind of blood red.

I turned my head and asked Xiao Wan, "What do you see?" ”

Xiao Wan glanced at me and said, "Blood red." ”

Duan Cheng was stunned, he couldn't help shaking, I reached out to help him and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Blood red, it's a bad omen, a big murderer, I can't get close, I can't get in, it's over." Duan Cheng muttered to himself.

"No, let's look at it together, I see it blood red, and what you see is still light blue," I handed the telescope in my hand to Lin Haoran and said, "Look at it, what it's like." ”

Lin Haoran looked at it for a while and said, "Light blue, very bright." ”

Duan Cheng was also stunned, he looked at me, I patted him and said, "Maybe everyone looks at this place differently, it seems that there is a door today." ”

He thought for a while and nodded, then handed me the telescope again and asked, "Didn't you just say something weird?" What's wrong? ”

Xiao Wan and I glanced at each other, it turned out that he had also found out, I raised the corners of my mouth and said: "This is not one formation, but two formations combined, the outermost layer is the illusion array, and the inside is the soul seeking array." ”

Duan Cheng frowned, snatched my telescope and looked at it again.

I turned to the few people standing there and said, "That is to say, the soul seeking array we are going to is in this illusion array, and we can only break the illusion array before we can break the soul seeking array again, and then the people we want to save will not necessarily be trapped in the soul seeking array, but may be in the illusion array." ”

I turned my head to find the mentor, and saw that he was also standing beside Duan Cheng and looking down the mountain, so I pulled him down and asked, "Xia Yan, what did you know about Cheng Dù before you went in?" ”

The tutor was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Duan Cheng and said, "He sued your Xia Yan's name?" ”

"I'm asking you about business, yes, Duan Cheng said, we are all members of the Xia family, a family, you are all from my grandfather and grandmother's generation, okay, Grandpa Xia, say it." I choked on my mentor impatiently.

"Ahem...... The sue is quite thorough. The mentor muttered quietly, coughed and said, "Before Xiao Yan goes, he won't have a formation at all." ”

"That's right, if my analysis is right, Xia Yan is not in the Soul Seeking Array, but in the Illusion Array, as long as we break the Illusion Array, we can rescue her, and if I'm not mistaken, there may be many people." I raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"Well, I also saw it, and there are locust trees there, this is the most vicious thing used in the formation, it seems that the person who built this formation has spent a lot of effort." Xiao Wan also said with a smile.

"This is not built by one person or two people, it should be a group of people." Lin Haoran, who had just put down the binoculars, raised his eyebrows and said.

"I've been here for so many years, how can I not see it?" Duan Cheng turned around in annoyance and punched a tree trunk, and blood immediately flowed out of his hand.

I pointed to Chen Peng, and he immediately ran over from the medical box in his backpack to bandage Duan Cheng.

I also walked over and sighed lightly and said, "Don't blame yourself, you also saw it, what we see is different from what you see, you also taught me the illusion formation, his role in people is different, everyone is different, Xiao Wan and I are originally spiritual, so we can see the same thing, didn't Haoran not see the blood lake but the light blue lake?" It's just that he also saw the illusion array, if you care about it, it's chaotic, you don't see it, not necessarily everyone else will see it, don't believe it, you let Xiaopeng and Brother Jianfei take a look, maybe they will see the same as you. ”

Li Jianfei walked over very cooperatively, took Xiao Wan's telescope and looked at it, and said while looking at it: "The fog is much smaller, there are locust trees there, and there is a clear water lake in the woods. ”

As soon as Duan Cheng heard Li Jianfei say this, he stopped talking.

As soon as I saw that he had stabilized, I breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the side of the mountain and looked at it with a telescope again, and after looking at it for a while, I turned around and put the picture I saw in my notebook, just like that, we kept seeing the afternoon, I glanced at the sun setting in the west, and asked Duan Cheng: "Live here today, or go back, and come up tomorrow to see." ”

"Live here, go a little further, there is a cave where people can live." Duan Cheng pointed to the side of the mountain on our right.

We immediately packed up our things and followed Duan Cheng towards the cave.

The cave was big and dry, so we collected some branches and prepared to spend the night.

I sat at the mouth of the cave, looking at the scenery of Mount Tai, I couldn't say what I felt, just a little uneasy, in fact, I had this feeling since I entered the mountain, but I never said it, I was afraid that they would be worried.

The tutor came over and sat next to me, looking into the distance, I glanced at him, he was a little different today, very dull, as if he had a heavy heart.

"Mentor, I'm sorry for what happened that day, and what I said today is a bit heavy, don't take it to heart." I said with a sigh. I want to say everything I want to say now, otherwise I might not have a chance.

"It's okay, Xiao Xue'er, this time I know why I always call you that, you are a little girl in my eyes, a little girl who hasn't grown up." The tutor chuckled and said.

"Mentor, I've seen Duan Cheng's face, he's really handsome." I burst out laughing, remembering the gaffe on my face when I saw him that day, and I wanted to laugh myself.

"Really? That kid is very handsome, otherwise he wouldn't have stunned Xiao Yanfan, so he would have pulled me to partner with him. The mentor laughed too.

"Aren't you happy when you're partners together?" I asked curiously.

"Well, that was probably the happiest time of my life, a little shorter, but enough." The mentor replied with a sigh.

"You let me see you too, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to see it in the future." I grabbed the guru's arm and said.

"What nonsense, I'm not going to let you have any problems." The tutor patted my hand away and said.

"It's the truth, this time I don't know at all, you also saw it just now, it's an illusion array, that array is full of illusions, corresponding to your heart, the fear in your heart that you don't even know yourself, he will be magnified tenfold, a hundred times, then, I'm afraid I don't have the confidence to deal with it, and there are eight people here, everyone's fear is different, I don't know what will happen, if I really can't deal with it, I may really not be able to come back." I smiled wryly and said calmly.

"That's why I don't want you to come." The mentor sighed.

I looked at him in surprise and said, "You knew this was an illusion array?" ”

"Hmm." The mentor answered, but my heart sank, and I looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Then why don't you say it, why don't you tell Duan Cheng, just watch him find and guard for 80 years?" ”

"That's the reason to let him live, Xiao Yan won't let me sue him, she wants him to live, that's all I can do." The more the instructor spoke, the lower his voice became.

At this time, I realized that the original mentor knew more than Duan Cheng, and the reason why he didn't tell Duan Cheng was to let Duan Cheng have hope, so that Duan Cheng would try to survive, which was also Xia Yan's idea, so he, who was a brother, could only do it, so it seemed that the mentor was a very affectionate person, and I really misunderstood him before.

I exhaled and whispered to my mentor, "I'm begging you for something now as a little girl from the Xia family, okay?" ”

"What?" The tutor turned to look at me.

"If I have something, help me take care of Lin Haoran." I looked at the already dim mountain shadow in the distance and said calmly.

"Your own man, look at it yourself, I'm not a rag, put everything to me." The mentor hummed, but I knew he would.

I laughed softly, reached out and put my arm around the mentor's shoulder, making him stiff, I leaned on his shoulder and whispered: "I didn't expect that the people of the Xia family would all be Yuandu masters, so my parents are they?" Why isn't Xia Xiaoyu? ”

"Every family in the Xia family, every generation will have a Yuandu master, this is the clan rule, your father is he, Xia Xiaoyu, she is not qualified." The tutor said with a smile.

"Oh, I'll just say, she's not as good as mine, I'm always better than her." I laughed too.

"I am also responsible for the death of your parents, I didn't take a good look at them." The mentor said suddenly.

"It doesn't matter what you do, they just want to leave, otherwise how can they produce the next Yuandu Master." I moved my head over his shoulder.

The instructor stopped talking, just patted me on the head with his hand, and we just sat next to each other and watched the so-called scenery.
