A gust of mountain wind blew, and Luo Jianchen's heart was filled with a slight chill. In just an instant, the Grim Reaper passed by him, taking away the other two fresh lives. This is what you have to face from time to time in the immortal cultivation world? The strong live and the weak die?

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, calming the confusion that flashed in her heart, since she was still alive, she still had to move forward. There are people in front of me who I care about, and I have to go down the road ahead. The clenched fingers loosened slightly, and the mountain wind had taken away the remaining pieces of cloth. She quickened her pace and walked forward.

After walking for another half a moment, I have reached the end of the trail, and I can already see the forest of houses built on the mountain in front of me, surrounded by a verdant forest sea, which is like a natural barrier blocking the road to Chenjiabao.

Luo Jianchen walked into the forest, walked for a while, but found that he returned to the original place, walked for a moment, and found that he went back to the same place, she was not good, it turned out that this forest was arrayed, she was originally not interested in the formation, after being brought here from the Thousand Days Forest, she was a little curious about the formation, and when she happened to be in the town, she saw a >book < the formation and bought it back, but this is just a primer book, which talks about the most superficial formations and some formation knowledge, so she is only a first glimpse of the door.

And the layout of this forest must be set up by someone who is proficient in formations, and the subtlety in it is really not something that she, a person who only knows a little bit about, can crack. Now that I am in the forest, I can't advance or retreat, I have difficulties in my heart, and I am thinking hard about countermeasures.

Suddenly, she heard a burst of laughter not far in front of her, and her heart moved, there were people in this forest, why didn't she feel it? I don't know if it's friend or foe, let's go and see it first, and then I run a dozen steps along the laughter,

I saw a man in a green robe squatting under a big tree, looking intently at a piece of cloth in his hand. From time to time, he hugged his head and frowned and meditated, and from time to time he laughed and danced, and his expression was the same as when Luo Yi was refining pills. Luo Jianchen knew that he must be obsessed with something to be like this, so he couldn't bear to go up and disturb, so he sat down under a tree not far from him, and looked at the man carefully,

I saw that his body was slightened, his face was scorched, his eyebrows were thick like brooms, his lips and beard were unshaven, and his sideburns were white and faint, and he looked around fifty years old, and there was no aura on his body. I felt strange in my heart. Judging by this person's clothes, he should be a person from Chenjiabao, but how can there be mortals in this fort? Or did he use a magic to cover up the aura like himself? It is said that in the world of cultivating immortals, the family of cultivating immortals is different from the scattered cultivation, for the prosperity of the family, but if there is a baby in the mortal clan, the spiritual root must be measured first, if the baby does not have a spiritual root, it will not be directly sent to the mortal world, and from then on, it will not be interacted with, or it will be used as a sacrifice of the family bloodline, and it will be given to the spiritual beasts in the clan.

Luo Jianchen was thinking to himself, and the man suddenly clapped his hands and stood up laughing, as if he didn't see Luo Jianchen sitting opposite him, and walked away. Luo Jianchen hurriedly jumped up, bowed and stopped in front of him and said, "Senior, please stay." ＂

The man frowned as if he hadn't heard, turned sideways to avoid Luo Jianchen who was blocking in front of him, and continued to walk into the forest, Luo Jianchen had to speed up his pace and follow, but saw that the man was holding a few small flags in his hand, walking a few steps and inserting one under a tree, and a few steps and planting another under another tree, so that after going around the forest for a long time, the small flags in his hand were finally planted. The man paused and let out a long sigh, raising his hand to wipe the sweat oozing from his forehead, a satisfied smile on his face. turned his head to Luo Jianchen who was following behind him and said, "Little girl, you have been following me for a long time." Do you understand what I'm doing? ＂

Luo Jianchen shook his head and said, "I don't understand, are you arranging a formation." ＂

The man nodded and smiled proudly, "I still have some vision, do you know this?" ＂

Luo Jianchen said in his heart: "If I knew this formation, I would have left the forest earlier, would I still follow you?" Shaking his head, he said: "The array of the seniors is exquisite, and the younger generations are only shallow in learning, where can they know it." ＂

The man smiled and said, "So you're trapped in the forest and can't get out?" ＂

Luo Jianchen was very proud when he saw him, and said, "Who said I was going out?" This forest is full of spiritual energy, and it is a good place for cultivation. ＂

"Hard mouthed, if you don't want to go out of the forest and follow me? The man had a triumphant look on his face.

"I'm just curious, and I want to take a look. ＂

"Then do you see any Mingtang? ＂

Luo Jianchen shook his head and said: "I don't know any formations, I just read the book that it says that using formation flags to arrange formations is the simplest of the formations." ＂

"Oh, what else does your book say? ＂

"The book says that if you put spirit stones on the banner of the formation, you can increase the power of the formation. ＂

"Well, that's right. The man nodded, blinked, and said, "Okay, little girl, then you can start putting the spirit stone now." Remember to put two pieces under each array. He took out a bag from his arms and stuffed it into Luo Jianchen's hand.

"Why do you want me to put the spirit stone? ＂

"I planted the formation flag just now, and now of course you put the spirit stone. After the man finished speaking, he simply sat on the ground and said, "Remember, hurry up, I want to go back earlier?" ＂

Luo Jianchen saw that he was playing a scoundrel in the style of Luo Yi's back then, angry and funny, and faintly sad in his heart, so he no longer argued, and took a bag and put two spirit stones under each array according to what he said, so it only took an hour to circle around the forest, which was twice as fast as that person.

The man smiled with satisfaction: "Little girl, I can't see that your hands and feet are as good as your little brain." Not bad, not bad. He pinched his fingers and calculated, and said, "It's not too early, I should go back." As he spoke, he jumped up from the ground, but before he could stand firmly, he screamed "oops", plopped and sat back on the ground, holding his feet and screaming. Luo Jianchen thought he was deliberately pretending at first, but when he looked at his expression, his face was a little distorted in pain, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What's wrong with you." ＂

"I, I've twisted my foot, ouch, ouch"

"I'll see. Luo Jianchen squatted down and picked up his trouser leg to see that his ankles were really swollen. said: "You bear with it, I'll help you straighten it out." ＂

The man cried out like a child: "Don't, don't, I'm afraid of pain, I'm afraid of pain, ouch." Ouch"

Luo Jianchen saw that he was really injured, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, if you don't twist it right, it will hurt even more, I will start very lightly." ＂

The man held his feet and shouted, "No, no, what if you accidentally twist it?" I don't want you to govern, I don't want you to govern. ＂

Luo Jianchen saw that he looked like a child, he was angry and funny, and said: "As for your little injury, I don't know how many people I have treated since I was a child." Can you still heal this little injury? ＂

The man said with a look of disdain on his face: "The little girl brags, not ashamed." Ouch. ＂

Luo Jianchen didn't want to bother with him either, so he smiled and said, "I'm bragging? Okay, just let me brag. See if the cowhide is blown up? As he spoke, he twisted his hands slightly, only to hear a soft click, and he had twisted his ankle straight.

The man screamed exaggeratedly, paused for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "Hey, it doesn't seem to hurt anymore." ＂

Luo Jianchen smiled: "Let's take a look, it should be no problem." ＂

The man stood up and walked back and forth a few steps, and suddenly ouch, ouch, squatted down, and cried out again, "No, no, no, little girl, come and help me." ＂

Luo Jianchen hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him and said, "Slow down, I'll see, don't accidentally twist again." Reaching out and pushing back and forth at his ankle a few times, Wen Yan comforted: "Don't be anxious, it's okay to walk slowly." ＂

The man looked at Luo Jianchen and grinned: "The little girl has a good heart, why don't you carry me away." Seeing that Luo Jianchen didn't say anything, he changed his sad face and said: "You see it's not early, I'm so old, and I have injuries on my feet, how long will it take to get out of this forest?" Hey, if it's too late, my brother will have to discipline me again. ＂

Luo Jianchen looked at him and knew that he was pretending on purpose, but thinking that he was reasonable, it would take him at least half a day to get out of the forest at his speed, and he had to rely on him to get out of the forest, so he squatted down and picked him up and smiled: "Okay, I'll carry you, you tell me how to go." ＂

The man lay on Luo Jianchen's back and cheered: "Good girl, what a good girl." Come, take three steps forward, take four steps back to the left around the tree, take seven steps to the right, step on the kun position, take three steps around the third tree on the left, take four steps back to the right around the tree next to you, and talk to you when you get there. ＂

Luo Jianchen walked for a short time according to what he said, and found that this way of walking actually has its own rules, walking and walking, as he walked, he seemed to have found some tricks, and his steps were faster, the man lay on her back and said in surprise: "The little girl is quite smart, hey, what's your name?" What are you doing here? ＂

"My name is Ah Chen, I'm here, I'm looking for someone. What is your name? She suddenly thought of the two teenagers who robbed and killed her on the edge of the cliff, and thought to herself that she didn't know what this person had to do with Chen Jiabao, so she didn't want to get into trouble if she said it directly.

The man said: "My name is Xue Mingze, you can call me Brother Xue." ＂

Luo Jianchen almost laughed out loud when he heard it, he was too old to be her father at his age, and he actually called himself the eldest brother, but when he thought about it, he was childish, and he didn't want to be called old, so he said: "Brother Xue"

Xue Mingze said curiously: "Looking for someone?" This is the boundary of Chenjiabao, is the person you are looking for in the fort? ＂

Luo Jianchen's heart moved, this person was a person from Chen Jiabao and might know some things about Chen Mingyuan, but she didn't dare to ask directly, thinking about how to speak. His expression unconsciously twisted a little.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the man became more interested, and said to himself, "Who could it be?" Who could it be? Stretched out his head to look at Luo Jianchen, and suddenly shouted, "No, no, Ah Chen, I advise you not to look for him, he, he must be lying to you." ＂

Luo Jianchen said curiously: "Do you know who I'm looking for?" ＂

"Of course. Xue Mingze put away his chuckle and said sternly: "He is the best at coaxing girls, I don't know how many good women come to the door, and finally give away their lives in vain, you must not fall for him." Ah Chen, I think you are a good girl, you are smart and good-hearted, it is better to be like this, it is better to be like this" The man seemed to have made a lot of determination and said: "You go back with me, I will go and beg my senior brother to let him take you as an apprentice." ＂

When Luo Jianchen heard him say this, he knew that he would be wrong, but listening to his tone, he was extremely protective of himself, and he had a good impression of him in his heart, and said, "Brother Xue, don't worry, the person I am looking for will never lie to me." ＂

Xue Mingze shook his head and said, "Ah Chen, have you ever heard that a liar would say that he is a liar?" I tell you that my senior brother's ability is a hundred times higher than the person you are looking for, and his appearance is a hundred times more handsome than his, if you can be his apprentice, it is really, really your great creation. ＂

Luo Jianchen heard him say seriously, knowing that he really cared about himself, and wondered if he wanted to tell his master about it? After thinking about it, he decided not to say it yet, and it would not be too late to say until he understood his identity, and he was afraid that he would be entangled again, so he said: "Brother Xue, Ah Chen understands, just don't go to him." ＂

Xue Mingze breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's right, Ah Chen, after I go back, I'll go to find my senior brother." ＂

"Brother Xue, who is your senior brother? Luo Jianchen listened with curiosity.

"Oh, Ah Chen, I can't sue you now, and when my senior brother agrees to accept you as an apprentice, I'll sue you again. ＂

Luo Jianchen looked at his mysterious appearance quite funny, and quipped: "Brother Xue, what if your senior brother refuses to accept me as an apprentice?" ＂

"This, this, anyway, I will definitely think of asking my senior brother to take you as an apprentice"

Luo Jianchen followed Xue Mingze's instructions, walked for about half an hour, and finally came out of the forest. In front of him is a gatehouse as high as more than ten zhang, and the plaque of the gatehouse is written with three strong big characters "Chenjiabao". A fog behind the archway obscured his vision, and Luo Jianchen knew that this fog should also be a phantom array. Standing at the bottom of the archway, Luo Jianchen obviously felt that the aura here was much richer than that outside the forest, and wondered, does this formation outside the forest still have the effect of gathering aura without dispersing it? Xue Mingze jumped down from Luo Jianchen's back, waved his hands continuously, and the mist parted to both sides as if it had spirituality, and a blue brick paved avenue suddenly appeared. The ancient trees on both sides of the road are towering to the sky, and the weather is solemn.

Walk not far from the archway, and see a huge manor with simplicity and solemnity. Two unicorn stone statues of more than one foot high stand at the gate of the garden, and eight young men in strong suits stand on both sides according to their swords. Xue Mingze took Luo Jianchen straight into the middle gate, and the young man guarding at the door saw Xue Mingze's demeanor quite respectful, Luo Jianchen looked strange in his heart, I don't know what Xue Mingze's identity is in the castle. The entrance gate is a huge courtyard, the courtyard corridor is tortuous, and there seems to be a formation contained in it, Luo Jianchen secretly wrote down the path as he walked.

Xue Mingze had reached the gate of a small courtyard along a corridor on the east side for a few turns, he stopped, his demeanor suddenly became extremely respectful, and said to Luo Jianchen: "You wait for me here, I'll go to my senior brother first," walked two steps and turned back uneasily: "Don't go away, in case you get lost, it's difficult to find a way out." Luo Jianchen nodded and said, "Brother Xue, don't worry, I won't go away." Xue Mingze walked into the courtyard with confidence.

Luo Jianchen stood outside the courtyard and could only see a little scenery in the courtyard, only to feel that the small courtyard was quiet and elegant, rockery and flowing water, exquisite and exquisite, she didn't dare to poke out her divine sense to check, she was curious, I don't know what Xue Mingze's senior brother who lives inside is like? poked his head in,

Suddenly, a female voice behind me sounded coldly: "What are you doing here, this girl?" Luo Jianchen was startled, he was only curious, and he lost his vigilance, this is in Chenjiabao.

She turned around, a woman let out a soft sigh, Luo Jianchen also saw the woman behind her clearly, there were two girls in blue shirts standing behind her, one of them was Chen Qiying, who injured Huai'an in Yujing Hall, she secretly screamed in her heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Sister Xiangu, Ah Chen has given you a salute." ＂

Chen Qiying glanced at her with disgust and said, "It turned out to be you, why don't you sneak here with your master?" Luo Jianchen didn't seem to know that he was coming alone when he heard her tone, thinking that maybe she knew where the master and master were, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiangu, Ah Chen has never seen the world, and I was curious for a while and wanted to take a walk, but I got lost, and when I saw this courtyard, I wanted to go in to find someone to ask for directions." Jin Qiying snorted and said, "I don't know whether I am alive or dead, this Chen Jiabao is something that you, a mortal, can walk around." ＂

"Yes, what Sister Fairy Gu said is that Ah Chen is not sensible, and he will never dare to do it in the future. The master must be very anxious now, and I don't know how he is treating his injuries now? ＂

The green-shirted woman beside Chen Qiying was quite kind, looking Luo Jianchen up and down and laughing: "Qiying, is she the little girl in Yujing Hall?" ＂

Chen Qiying snorted, and the woman laughed again and said, "He looks handsome, and his mouth is very sweet, no wonder the third prince is missing." It's just that he seems to be a little younger. Chen Qiying snorted heavily,

The woman said to Luo Jianchen: "Little girl, since you are lost, then I will take you to your master." ＂

"Ah Chen, thank you, Sister Immortal. ＂

Chen Qiying said coldly: "Sister Qijun, don't forget that we still have to go to Linyu Pavilion to learn spells. ＂

Qi Jun said: "Qi Ying, you go first, I'll come in a while." As he spoke, he winked at Chen Qiying. A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Qiying's mouth, and she didn't say anything anymore, and walked towards the corridor on the left.

Seeing that she and Chen Qiying looked strange, Luo Jianchen couldn't help but be secretly alert, and hurriedly said: "How can Ah Chen delay Sister Immortal Gu, you just need to tell me how to move, and Ah Chen will definitely find it." ＂

Qi Jun smiled and stepped forward to take Luo Jianchen's hand and said, "How can this be, Ah Chen, the roads in this castle are complicated, what if you get lost again." Luo Jianchen said: "But if you delay Sister Fairy Gu for Ah Chen, Ah Chen will be sad in his heart." Qi Jun smiled: "What a good boy, my sister likes it when she sees it, it's okay, so it won't take much time to lead the way." Luo Jianchen was not allowed to say anything more, and pulled her towards the corridor.

After turning a few corridors, Luo Jianchen found that it was no longer the route he had come, and just wanted to ask, when he suddenly felt a thick aura coming towards him in front of him.
