Chapter 249: The Dust Settles
Hiss......
The arc of electricity between the two spirit beads and the magic circle became denser and denser, and finally after a few breaths, they were completely embedded in the magic circle, as if they were originally one.
As the six elders of Shushan sat on the ground one after another, the magic circle above the Lock Demon Tower slowly disappeared in front of everyone in the field, and the two spirit beads also disappeared.
It's over.
Whether it was all the second and third generations of disciples who were watching the ceremony, or everyone in the team, they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
No matter how thrilling the process is, this time the work of reinforcing the Shushan Lock Demon Tower was still completed without danger.
Now everyone's attention is focused on two places, one is whether those Shushan elders with golden faces are safe or not, and the vast majority of people's attention is still focused on Wu Tian.
Especially those female disciples......
or affectionate, or admiring and shy, in short, I can't swallow Wu Tiansheng alive.
Wu Tian was unaware of the gaze that was looking at him, and he was still in mid-air, staring at the second-generation disciple in front of him.
"Second Senior Brother...... After a long time, the second-generation disciple finally showed bitterness and said loudly.
"Your question can be discussed later, I went to the back cliff to think about it, and I can't give the teacher's order, do you understand?" Wu Tian said softly, with a rare unquestionable tone in his tone.
The second-generation disciple clenched his fists and said yes.
"'Perseverance' stays and walks over by himself."
After saying this, the second-generation disciple's natal flying sword flew to Wu Tian's side again, looking extremely docile.
"Yes." The second-generation disciple had a bitter expression on his face and walked slowly towards the outside of the mountain pass.
Most of the disciples looked at that Xiao Suo's back, and their mood was a little complicated for a while.
"The second-generation disciples of Shushan will return to the sword house with the third-generation disciples, and they will not be allowed to go out of the mountain without the order of the master!"
Wu Tian didn't make a loud noise, but his words accurately reached the ears of all the disciples.
The valley where the Demon Lock Tower is located begins to clear the field in an orderly manner.
In fact, just after the tea time, there were only six elders left, Wu Tian, and a few members of the team.
Naturally, a few members of the team wanted to stay here, because their nominal master was Wu Tian.
The dense talismans on the lock demon tower had dimmed at this time, and the tower body had become that gray again, like an ordinary pagoda.
The stout chains were also settled, and they seemed sick and unrefreshed.
Everyone in the team, whether it was Qi Zhen or Yu Liang, did not feel any fundamental changes in the Lock Demon Tower.
But looking at Wu Tian's expression on his face that had not changed for thousands of years, everyone in the team felt that there should be nothing wrong here.
In other words, the reinforcement of the lock demon tower has become.
This is something to be happy about, but there are also things that are not so happy.
When the disciples of Shushan withdrew from the range of the Lock Demon Tower, Wu Tian's figure instantly appeared next to Xuan Ye Zhenren, and a sword sense crossed over to check the situation of his master.
Several members of the team stepped forward and stood not far behind Wu Tian at a suitable distance, silent.
"I said, 'Are you alright?' Yu Liang asked in a low voice.
Qi Zhen looked at Wu Tian's gradually tightened brows, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I'm not too optimistic." ”
Not too optimistic This matter does not refer to the state shown by the elders of the Shushan generation, because it is so good-looking, several elders are pale at this time, and the original crane-haired and childish faces are already full of wrinkles at this time, and it seems that the whole person has aged a lot in an instant, it seems that this time the reinforcement of the lock demon tower is not only to bring the consumption of sword qi to several elders, but more importantly, I am afraid that it has hurt their own roots.
Qi Zhen is not optimistic, which means that he has an effective solution to this situation for Wu Tian, according to the current situation, the longer Wu Tian's investigation lasts, the more troublesome things will become.
After a long time, Wu Tian turned around, looked at these few people who had become his disciples, but had not seen them since they went up the mountain, and said in a deep voice: "The situation of the elders is only not very good, according to the current situation, their own sword qi has reached the verge of exhaustion, and what is even more terrifying is that in order to ensure that the lock demon tower can be successfully reinforced, they have also overdrawn their great vitality, even me, there is no good way for them to recover, At present, they can only wait for themselves to recover their senses, and when their sword qi turns, they can accelerate their recovery. ”
"So what now?" Yu Liang asked.
Wu Tian shook his head.
We can only wait for them to slowly recover here.
Wu Tian stretched out his sword and pointed at it, and a dead branch flew in the distance.
"Look ahead." Wu Tian spoke, and the withered branch approached Elder Xuan Ye under his mind.
As a result, about three steps or so away from the real person in charge, the entire dead branch seemed to be put into a food processor, and it was instantly shattered.
"You see, now Master's sword qi around them is disordered, and it is difficult to get close to each other, let alone the treatment." Wu Tian then spoke.
That's all it can be, but this ...... What the hell is it?
"Come back with me, and think about it in the long run." Wu Tian said.
The team followed Wu Tian to the hall that belonged to the master, and with a bang, the sunlight was blocked out of the door.
"Wu Tian, we have something to ask you." Qi Zhen got straight to the point, without the slightest greeting.
"I have something to ask you as well." Wu Tian said.
"Okay, one for each person." Qi Zhen nodded.
Wu Tian gestured please.
"Where have you been?"
Qi Zhen didn't ask why he didn't show up even though he promised the team goodbye on the mountain, nor did he ask why he didn't return after accepting the apprentice for half a month.
"Demonic energy leaks, I'll go over there and take a look." Wu Tian replied.
Which side it was, Wu Tian didn't say, but Qi Zhen felt that Wu Tian should have found the location where the demonic qi leaked, which could also explain why he walked so quietly, and he didn't even have time to say hello.
"Why are there so many people in the Demon Lock Tower?" Wu Tian asked.
"Because of us." Qi Zhen didn't hide anything, and explained the behavior of several people in the team these days to Wu Tianhe.
Wu Tian didn't show an expression of anger or surprise, nor did he ask the team why they did this, but just listened quietly, and didn't even interrupt Qi Zhen's words.
"In this way, several generations of elders jointly decided to let all the disciples in Shushan observe the ceremony." Qi Zhen said.
"Why do the elders of the first generation want two spirit beads to be reinforced together, can't they come one by one?
? Qi Zhen then asked.
"No, you can't." Wu Tian shook his head, and then said the reason, "The seal of the lock demon tower is complicated, it is the leader in the hexagonal tower architecture of the world, when the lock demon tower was established, not only did the great monks come here to bless the Dharma, design the overall architectural structure of the tower body, but also the people in the same way jointly arranged the ban array, so that the seal of the lock demon tower reached a perfect balance, you know, in order to achieve a perfect state, the ten-story lock demon tower even blocked the entrance to the bottom of the tower, and it can only be entered from the top. ”
"Therefore, any small act could cause the seal of the Lock Demon Tower to become unbalanced, or even collapse completely. To reinforce, it is best to reinforce two spirit beads together, and if you can, it should be five spirit beads used together for the best effect. Wu Tian said.
"Why does five work best?" Yu Liang interjected.
"Because the spiritual power of the five spirit beads is comparable, it will not affect the balance of the seal, if it is only two spirit beads, then the lack of the other three spiritual powers will be supplemented by the sword qi of the six elders."
When Wu Tian said this, everyone understood.
It turned out that the reason why the six elders consumed so much was that the magic circle was like a gluttonous and endlessly absorbed the sword qi of the six elders, it turned out to be all because of this.
Balance.
As for how delicate and complex the operation and effort are, it has nothing to do with the team, in short, if you understand this principle, you will naturally understand why it has become what it is today.
"Then wait until you find all the five five spirit things, what's the hurry?" Yu Liang then asked.
Yu Liang's failure to follow the principle of one question and one answer did not make Wu Tian's face unhappy, he sighed and replied, "Because the Lock Demon Tower is almost unable to hold on." ”
Everyone was shocked.
"Do you know why I didn't hesitate to agree to exchange them with you after you took out two spirit beads? The effect of the five spirit beads is the best, but there are only these five in the world, we have been looking for a long time, and in the end we can only find other things with strong spiritual power to replace, so we will care if you want to turn the dragon pot. ”
"If it's one, although it is also useful, but in comparison, the Dragon Turning Pot plus the sword qi of several elders should be more suitable, at least it can solve the urgent need. However, the two spirit beads were completely different, although they caused great loss to the sword qi of several elders, but the effect was undoubtedly much stronger than that of the Dragon Turning Pot. ”
Yu Liang nodded, no problem.
"What exactly are you suspecting?" Wu Tian asked.
"We suspect that there are ghosts in Shushan, and we always feel that there is an invisible force in the dark that is blocking our footsteps in strengthening the Lock Demon Tower and assisting Shushan in solving the incident." Qi Zhen replied.
"Looks like it's confirmed today?" Wu Tian asked.
Qi Zhen shook her head.
"Whether we are internal ghosts or Shushan has internal ghosts, it is difficult for me to determine now." Qi Zhen said in a deep voice.
"How?" Wu Tian raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.
"You see, there are five third-generation disciples who have made a move today, and there is even a personal disciple under Elder Xuanyi who can use the divine sword. Don't look at me like that, a fool can see the extraordinaryness of this trick at that time, and I'm not stupid. What does this prove? This proves that up and down Shu Mountain, there may be a considerable number of Shu Mountain disciples who think that the seal of the Lock Demon Tower should not be reinforced, or even destroyed, they feel that this matter is right, if it is not the case, then I will be very suspicious of your assessment mechanism for entering the Shu Mountain. Qi Zhen said.
