Chapter 396: There is an ancient formation
Fang Wuxian originally thought that this tree was outrageously big, but he was just looking for Xiaobai's traces, and he didn't care about emotion. At this time, listening to Su Yan'er's words, her attention returned to the giant tree.
The mottled shadows, the cracked bark, the tall body, and the rough trunk all indicate that the tree is really old. But it is too tall and too thick, and its strong branches like a dragon clearly contain infinite vitality, making people unconsciously believe that it can continue to live, maybe for a hundred years, maybe a thousand years, or even longer.
"It's really a giant tree that makes people feel infinitely emotional." Fang Wuxian couldn't help but admire.
The three of them stood under a tree as if they were standing next to a wall. Retreat back more than ten meters, still within the coverage of the branches of the giant tree. He withdrew more than ten meters, as if he was looking at a picture scroll, which was full of vicissitudes and engraved history.
"It's huge!" Fang Wuxian sighed again, turned his head and asked, "Could it be that the Hunter Village will record all the big trees around it?" ”
"Of course not." Su Yan'er glanced at him, and said with some pride: "But the most cherished thing for the people in the mountains is the trees, and the people in the hunter village will keep every ancient tree in mind, and there will be special people to take care of these trees every year." Although I rarely go back to the village, I know that there are several 500-year-old trees around the village, and the farthest one is about 100 miles away from the village. It's only more than 40 miles from the village, so there's no reason to miss such an ancient tree! ”
According to Su Yan'er's explanation, it is indeed unreasonable. Fang Wuxian ran under the tree again, and scurried to the trunk of the tree in two steps, which was the last place where Xiao Bai left his breath. He jumped up and down the giant tree and looked up, but found no hidden places like tree holes. I smelled it for a long time, but there was no trace of breath.
The purple electric squirrel and Xiaobai disappeared like this.
"Could this be a big array?" Zhang Xiaoxiao shouted under the tree.
Fang Wuxie's heart moved, and he thought of the gateway between Kunlun Mountain and Yaochi Holy Land. That day, he and Su Yan'er were looking for traces of Su Fei and Chen Wen in the Kunlun Mountains, and were trapped in that snow peak for many days, but they never thought that the portal was under the snow peak. If it weren't for Su Yan'er entering the portal by mistake, it is estimated that there is very little hope of finding that portal.
The gateway between Kunlun Mountain and Yaochi Holy Land requires high speed to pass, and if this is also a large array, how can it be passed? Could it be that it also requires extreme speed?
Well, it's too early to think about how to get through, and the first thing to think about should be where the portal is, so you can't crash into this ancient tree at high speed! If the place of collision is not where the portal is, won't you be killed headfirst!
Although Fang Wuxian had the experience of looking for the portal of Kunlun Mountain, it was precisely because of that experience that he understood that if there was really a so-called portal, then whether he looked at it with the naked eye or touched it with his hands, there was a chance that he would not find it.
Fang Wuxian jumped off the giant tree, leaned against the trunk and frowned. Su Yan'er also knew the particularity of the portal, she stepped forward and put her ear to the trunk of the tree to listen carefully.
The tree is clearly alive, although the breathing is weakened and the metabolism has stopped, but these are only manifestations of the trunk on the ground, and in the winter, it needs to be dormant. Beneath the deep permafrost, its roots stretched far away, so far away that Su Yan'er couldn't really hear it. Roots that have grown for thousands of years have become entangled and stretched in the soil, forming a vast system that extends far beyond the ground.
This system is still absorbing and delivering nutrients, and Su Yan'er can hear the voice clearly.
"This is a tree, there is not a single wormhole in the trunk, and there is nothing unusual under the roots." Su Yan'er said with certainty.
Zhang Xiaoxiao touched the big tree, although she had already stepped into the fifth-order Gang Qi realm, and after the battle in the forbidden land of the Hunter Village, she vaguely felt a sense of going further. But she couldn't draw such a useful conclusion just by "listening" like Su Yan'er.
Is it useful when the realm is high? In the Battle of the Forbidden Land, she was defeated by Su Su in one round, and later almost became a burden to Fang Wuxie. No help can be provided at this time. Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her head and smiled bitterly, feeling powerless for the second time in her life.
And the first time was at the foot of Huiyan Peak and on the bank of the Lingshui River.
"No, you can't go on with yourself like that!" Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her head vigorously, startling Su Yan'er, and asked in surprise, "Team Zhang, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled and jumped towards the tree to "fly".
Yes, that's right, it's flying. Her speed is not hurried or slow, like an immortal flying into the sky. If ordinary people see it, they will definitely think that they are making movies with Weiya, but Su Yan'er understands that this is the ability of martial arts after reaching a certain level, and this kind of ability cannot be done by ordinary fifth-order Gang Qi realm.
Su Yan'er didn't want Zhang Xiaoxiao to run over her head, so she pulled Fang Wuxian under the tree to the side, and muttered: "I also said that cultivation is useless, and it's time to show up." ”
Fang Wuxian quietly slapped Su Yan'er's waist, meaning to let her say a few words. Su Yan'er pouted and wanted to get angry, but she didn't speak again after all.
Zhang Xiaoxiao jumped onto the tree and carefully observed the last traces left by the purple electric squirrel and Xiaobai. The footprints of the purple electric squirrel and the footprints left by Xiaobai almost overlapped, but it could be seen that the way the two used force was different. The purple electric squirrel only left a small claw mark on the trunk, but Xiaobai crumpled the bark. This shows that the purple electric squirrel did not use much force to maintain high-speed movement, while Xiaobai was able to run quickly with the power of the shock.
How great is this power?
Zhang Xiaoxiao bent her fingers and bounced towards the trunk of the tree, and the snow fell all over the tree with a bang, but there were only faint traces left on the trunk, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't find it at all.
The falling snow fell on Su Yan'er and Fang Wuxie's bodies, Su Yan'er fluttered the snow and said with a wry smile: "Captain Zhang, what are you doing with the old man?" ”
"Under investigation." After Zhang Xiaoxiao gave this speechless answer, she looked down at her fingers.
Su Yan'er rolled her eyes at her and muttered, "Do your best, it's just a matter of heaven, don't look for it if you can't find it." Since Xiaobai disappeared from here, he will come back from here. Just wait for it to come back, in those days in Kunlun Mountain, isn't it like this every time. ”
"This time may be different, in the Kunlun Mountains, Xiaobai's speed and strength make it almost no opponent. But the speed of this purple electric squirrel is even better than that of Xiaobai, and you have to find it as soon as possible to rest assured. ”
Fang Wuxian returned to the tree again, recalling in his mind the formation method that Guan Li had given him, which was the only knowledge he knew about the formation.
"The formation is an artificial interpretation of the avenue of heaven and earth, and a certain aspect of the rules of heaven and earth is magnified as much as possible, forming formations with different functions."
"My formation is the most direct description of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and it is a simple and intuitive ......."
"Casually follow the changes of heaven and earth, and follow the intention of the heart. When painting, the hand can be casual, but the heart cannot be casual; If the heart is casual, then the intention will not exceed the heart. ”
"I haven't gotten the true transmission of the formation, this formation seems to be mysterious, but there are many loopholes, and I completely rely on manpower to complete it."
……
Fang Wuxian was thinking back to the method of arranging the formation that Guan Li gave him, and stretched out his hand to rub the bark, how similar the ancient lines were to Guan Li's portrayal in the cave.
Zhang Xiaoxiao kept stretching out her fingers and flicking at the trunk, and when she reached the tenth time, she finally stopped and muttered: "What a great strength, what a strong tree." ”
Su Yan'er saw Fang Wuxian stroking the bark of the tree in a trance, as if she was in a trance, and Zhang Xiaoxiao made some inexplicable movements on the tree. She knew that the two of them were seeking a way to crack the great array here, so she didn't want to come forward and disturb, so she retreated back more than thirty meters, and she could observe the whole picture of this giant tree.
The cold winds in the winter in the Northland are very biting, especially in the deep mountains, and the temperature can reach minus 50 or 60 degrees. Su Yan'er's realm at this time was at the peak of the third-order qi realm, and her own blood and qi were rumbling, and she could even vaguely echo the vitality of heaven and earth, so that she didn't feel cold. But when the cold wind blew, he still subconsciously shivered, tightened his coat, lowered his head and buttoned his neckline, and suddenly was startled when he looked up again.
That ancient tree, why is it gone?
Su Yan'er opened her mouth wide, thinking that her eyes were spent, and rubbed her eyes vigorously, finally confirming that the tree was really gone.
"How is this possible! It's still here! ”
Su Yan'er ran two steps forward, not only the tree was gone, but even the ice lake was gone. The world is vast, the forest wind is whistling, where there are trees, where there are the shadows of Fang Wuxian and Zhang Xiaoxiao!
"Oh, the dog seller!" Su Yan'er slapped her forehead, she couldn't believe that she was awake at this time. But the pain on her forehead told her that she was indeed unconscious.
Su Yan'er usually has a passable temperament, for example, she couldn't find the portal of the "array" before, so she wanted to wait for Xiaobai to come out. But at this time, I can't wait, because the trees are gone, the lake is gone, and the people are gone, who knows if I will be gone!
You can't wait for the ready-made one, you have to find a way to crack it.
Su Yan'er carefully observed the surroundings, although the night was dark and the wind was high, with her eyesight, she could also see the hazy distant mountains and see some familiar references.
"I've walked this road before, and if I'm not mistaken, it's always ten miles away from that tree, so why did I run back here in the blink of an eye?"
Su Yan'er almost didn't know anything about the way of formation, she couldn't figure out this puzzling question, so she could only carefully identify the direction, look for the traces of her previous walk, and try to walk in front of the ancient tree again.
Fang Wuxian didn't know how long he had been standing under the tree in a trance, he vaguely felt that the lines on this ancient tree were strange, but with his lack of knowledge of formations, he couldn't decipher all kinds of mysteries at all.
Zhang Xiaoxiao knocked the tree again, and there was a bang, and the snow on the branches was shaken off and fell into Fang Wuxie's neck, making him shiver, and when he came back to his senses, he happened to see the scene of Su Yan'er bowing her head and buttoning it.
