0112, heart knot
The arrangement of the formation is a time-consuming and labor-intensive project.
Moreover, not all places are suitable for arranging formations.
Laying out the formation is essentially a process of communicating with heaven and earth and borrowing strength from heaven and earth.
And the power of heaven and earth is so mysterious, vast and complex, where can it be so easy to borrow.
With the power of heaven and earth, the time and place are favorable, and all of them are indispensable.
Therefore, the requirements for topography and feng shui are extremely high, and what kind of formations should be arranged and what kind of formations cannot be arranged in different terrains are inextricably complicated.
When the formation is studied to the depths, it can communicate with heaven and earth, and even change heaven and earth.
In the description of the old god stick, in the distant depths of the universe, there was a world-famous figure with the title of Emperor of the Heavenly Gods, who used thousands of stars as chess pieces and magic weapons to arrange formations, and built the entire star field into a mysterious forbidden area, which could kill immortals in a single thought, which was terrifying to the extreme.
This is also one of the few characters that Li Mu heard from the mouth of the old god stick that he admired and appreciated, and most of the other times, the old god stick always had a posture of 'the second boss of heaven and earth, my boss', which shows what a supreme demeanor this emperor of the heavens is.
It's a pity that the old god stick has also mentioned it once or twice occasionally, and the language is unknown.
When Li Mu asked carefully, the old god stick was reluctant to say more, only said that the vast universe, the vast universe, the vast and thousands, the stars and star fields are so many, it can be said that it is like a sea of smoke, innumerable, the Heavenly God Emperor in his mouth is a figure in the depths of the endless universe, and the earth, the solar system, and even the Milky Way, etc., are too far apart, even if it is a Da Luo Jin Immortal, it is impossible to cross such a distance.
Using the stars as a formation chess piece, that is a realm that Li Mu can't even think of.
What he can do now is to use the various materials paid by the Tianlong Gang, Huya Sect and other Jianghu sects to make some changes to the terrain, grass and trees, flowing water, etc. around the county government, so that it can gather qi and accept qi, and then use the power of this 'qi' to protect the county government.
This is the initial stage of the 'array'.
It is also a stage that Li Mu can try now.
For three consecutive days, Li Mu had no time to spare.
He measured every inch of land around the county government clearly, and also dug five or six meters down to observe the composition of the soil, observe the concentration of groundwater, and counted and summarized all the types of vegetation around the county government, the 24-hour water output of each spring, and even how many anthills, snakes, insects, animals, and so on, were carefully counted.
For Li Mu, arranging the array is like doing a complex math problem, and it is necessary to ensure that every step of solving the problem is flawless, so as to finally come up with the correct answer.
The old god stick is crazy and unreliable on weekdays, but in terms of arranging the formation, he is extremely rigorous, even if he goes out to do a very ordinary ritual, even if he investigates the Yin Mansion, he is meticulous, this kind of rigor affects Li Mu.
Among the many mythological novels on the earth, the protagonist can arrange a formation with a wave of his hand, casually drop any magic weapon, or casually engrave some pattern inscriptions, which is nonsense.
The real arrangement will not be so simple, but it needs to consider all factors, even some extremely small details, there can be no mistakes.
For example, ignoring the spring water may cause the foundation of the formation to be corroded by the ground water and fail, ignoring the anthill may cause the absorbed 'qi' to run away because of the expansion and excavation of the anthill......
It is no exaggeration to say that arranging a formation is similar to building a building, and it requires complex processes.
For three whole days, Li Mu was very busy.
As a temporary assistant, Li Zhaochen, who has been by Li Mu's side for the past few days, felt strange in his heart, and muttered secretly, what is going on, could it be that the county lord has suddenly changed his temperament, how can he be so interested in the soil, landscapes, flowers and plants, is he tired of being the big demon king?
Li Zhaochen is the brother-in-law of the warden Zhen Meng.
A few days ago, at the critical moment, he performed well, so when Feng Yuanxing and Zhen Meng were recuperating from their injuries and no one was available, Li Mu promoted this little jailer to a personal guard and took it with him.
This little jailer, who is only eighteen years old this year, is full of respect for Li Mu, the county honor.
This kind of respect is not only because of the difference between the official positions of the upper and lower levels, but also because of the strength that Li Mu has shown in the past sword events, the protection of his subordinates and the almost invincible strength, all of which are too in line with the definition of a hero by a young man with strong blood.
Or more accurately, worship.
Li Zhaochen, like other jailer friends, has become a fanatical believer and admirer of Li Mu.
"It's basically done. ”
Li Mu once again measured the entire county office, and after making sure that nothing was missing, he returned to the study and began to draw.
For half a day, a total of 36 chapters were drawn.
He called Li Zhaochen in, asked him to take the drawing, and according to the drawing, he began to transform the environment around the entire county office.
"Remember, the drawings must not be leaked, you read them, remember them, and then personally lead the team, order someone to do it, after all the work is over, bring the drawings back without a penny, and hand them over to me. ”
Li Mu arranged it very seriously.
This tone made Li Zhaochen feel the importance of this matter, and also felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and being able to do such an important thing for the county lord made him excited.
"Don't worry, adults, even if the villain loses his life, he will never lose a drawing. Li Zhaochen patted his chest and said.
Li Mu smiled: "That's still life." ”
Li Zhaochen laughed hesitantly.
In the past few days of following the adult, he has already figured out the adult's temper, in fact, in the eyes of those people in the rivers and lakes, the county lord who is as terrible as the great demon king killing the god is simply a very easy-going and approachable person.
Soon, the large-scale production movement to transform the periphery of the county government was vigorously launched.
Many people in the rivers and lakes were taken out of the prison in batches, still wearing shackles, holding shovels, chisels, buckets and other tools in their hands, and under the supervision of the guards, they began to dig canals, dig anthills, dig deep pits, move boulders, and plant trees according to the requirements of the 'chief engineer' Li Zhaochen......
In the past, the high-rollers who were majestic on the Northwest Martial Arts Road and did murder and arson were all high-rollers, but now they are honestly doing farm work, this picture is extremely funny, but they dare not speak out one by one, even the [Tianlong One Sword] Oriental Sword and [Iron Hand Qingtian] Tie Zhendong are also holding a shovel in one hand and the other carrying a basket and working honestly.
They have heard about the new envoy, the killing of the county seat, the return of the Taibai Sword Sect, and the detention of the Taishang elders of the two major sects, and moreover, there are all kinds of bizarre rumors, which spread between these requests, saying that Li Mu is the incarnation of a great demon, eating human flesh, drinking human blood, Li Mu likes to torture people, Li Mu likes to pickle sauerkraut and human flesh, etc......
These legends frightened the outlaws one by one.
Where do they still feel trouble, for fear that one day, the big demon king Li Mu will be in a bad mood and arrest them out and drink their hearts, so they will behave as honestly as they are, and they will listen to the words of the jailers incomparably, without the slightest resistance.
Li Mu didn't pay too much attention to this process, and he didn't personally supervise it.
Because the drawings he handed over to Li Zhaochen were all simple civil engineering renovation projects, such as digging new wells around the county government, guiding groundwater, building canals, arranging rockeries, removing ant hills, planting trees, etc., even some people could not see any mystery from these simple projects.
Of course, such a movement still attracted the attention of some well-intentioned people.
For example, [Wind Gentleman] Wang Chen.
This middle-aged warlock in Tsing Yi would come to the county office every day and stand outside the yellow line to observe.
He could see that the materials used in the transformation around the county government were basically things that Li Mu 'extorted' from the hands of the Tianlong Gang and other Jianghu sects that day, but even so, he still couldn't guess why Li Mu bothered to extort these things and why he carried out such a transformation of the county government.
In his impression, this young Taibai County Lord is definitely not a person who is greedy for pleasure.
The more he couldn't see through and guess, the more curious he was in his heart.
Even if I return to the high-rise building of the manor, I am still thinking about it.
On the high-rise building, the little boy Qin Zheng crouched by the window on the top floor of the high-rise building, doing daily routines, Princess Qin Zhen, wearing a simple and simple long skirt, without powder, with picturesque eyebrows, standing in the corridor outside the window, looking outside.
"Mr. Wang. ”
When Qin Zheng saw Wang Chen coming, he stood up and respectfully saluted his disciple.
Wang Chen smiled and nodded, let him continue his homework, and he came to the corridor outside.
He found that the direction that Princess Qin Zhen was looking at was the location of the county government.
The whole Taibai county is built by the mountain, the county government is located at the top of the mountain city, the geographical location is the highest, and Wang Chen and others are in the position of the Lanxiang attic, in the county government below, but because the Lanxiang attic has a total of six floors, more than 30 meters high, when standing on the top verandah, you can just see the county office.
"Your Highness may have guessed, this little county lord, what is this going to do?" Wang Chen smiled and opened the topic.
Qin Hao shook her head slightly, frowned, and said, "I can't guess." ”
Although she doesn't have a good impression of Li Mu and disdains Li Mu's character, she will never look down on Li Mu's ability because of this, as a political creature who has experienced the ups and downs of the imperial capital, Qin Zhen can clearly distinguish the difference between character and ability, so she will not simply think that this transformation of the county government is just a project for Li Mu to pursue pleasure.
She couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in Li Mu's gourd.
Of course, she didn't want to put too much thought into it.
Because she had no interest in co-opting a county magistrate with bad conduct, greed and brutality, even if Wang Chen had praised Li Mu many times on the side, she still had no interest, and the more she heard some things about Li Mu, the more disgusted she became with Li Mu.
Once she was bitten by a snake for ten years, she was afraid of the well rope, and she didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Even, Qin Hao was not even interested in knowing what Mu Li looked like.
"I can't guess either. Wang Chen walked over, sighed, and said: "I can have a hunch that he is doing a big thing, but he can't figure it out at all, for so many years, this Li Mu is the only weird talent that I can't understand at all." ”
Qin Zhen didn't answer this conversation.
Wang Chen sighed in his heart.
He knew the knot in the heart of Her Royal Highness the princess, but he didn't know how to untie it, if he missed Li Mu, it would definitely be a big loss, Wang Chen was extremely anxious in his heart, but this matter was still in a hurry.
Qin Zhen retracted his gaze and said, "Is there any news from the east?"
Wang Chen's gaze suddenly froze, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he said, "It has been determined that General Tang's widow and orphan will be escorted to Chang'an City in ten days." ”
Qin Zhen nodded, stood quietly in place, and thought about it for a long time.
In the end, a hint of determination flashed in the beautiful eyes of Her Royal Highness the princess, and her eyebrows stretched out, and she said, "Ten days later, is it so urgent...... Okay, then let's set off in seven days, and Weifu will secretly take a trip to Chang'an City, Mr. Wang, you can arrange it in advance. ”
"This ......" Wang Chen's face changed greatly when he heard this: "Your Highness wants to go in person?" ”
