Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Great Protective Array
In the following days, the princess accompanied Qi Zhiming and Gou Hong to every inch of the island.
Every day from sunrise to sunset, a detailed map of the island was finally drawn.
After returning to the cave, Qi Zhiming and the three of them closed the door, deliberating the scope and necessity of each formation one by one. It's really exhaustive, and it's been deduced and discussed over and over again.
It wasn't until five days later that the orientation of the various formations was decided.
······
The formation began. The sun is shining, and the breeze blows on the face with the fragrance of grass and trees, and it is lazy and comfortable.
The waves on the surface of the sea are slightly undulating.
Although the yellow calendar has not been checked, it should be an auspicious day.
The mermaid clan all changed their clothes and went out, and the elder also wore a new coat and followed behind Qi Zhiming.
The island is vast, and Qi Zhiming, the princess and Gou Hong respectively led several mermaid people to arrange the spirit stones according to the established direction, leaving early and returning late, which took a lot of time.
Three days later, the formation on the island was finally arranged.
This is the first large array that Qi Zhiming has laid down since he cultivated the formation, covering a range of dozens of miles, and almost all the formations in Liu Wu's records have been exhausted, and he is looking forward to it very much.
On the periphery of the island is a layer of hidden formations, gradually inward, which are the second layer of psychedelic formations, the third layer of trapped enemy formations, and the fourth layer is where the mermaids live, which is the strangulation formation. The core part of the island is arranged with a hidden formation.
In each layer of formation, a separate small formation was laid out, avoiding touching one place and activating the entire large array, which wasted spirit stones in vain.
The entire island is strict on the outside and loose on the inside, but the power of the formation layer by layer is increasing.
The array spirit stones used are all superb, and the number is large, no less than 10,000. The mermaid elder was distressed, but he also gave generously.
······
On the day of the completion of the great array, the island is celebrated.
The mermaids with happy faces celebrated and sang and danced. The dancing is beautiful and the singing is pleasant.
Qi Zhiming and Gou Hong were toasted by the clansmen for a few glasses, and they were already drunk. With joy in his heart, he swept away the state of the guest house and melted into the celebration of the mermaid, but he didn't know that the elder had been quietly away for a long time.
Mermaid, mermaid, is handsome.
Surrounded by a group of flowers in front of him, the warbler Yanyan has never had such an experience in his life, coupled with the pride of the completion of the large array, the mood is free, but it is not in chaos.
The beauty invited, and he couldn't refuse, blending into the melody of the dance, dancing wildly together.
There was a loud "boom" sound, coming from the southeast. The sound was huge, and the white pillar of light shot straight into the sky, which was very eye-catching in the night sky, and everyone's eyes were attracted, and they immediately stopped dancing, fixed their eyes, and looked at Qi Zhiming with doubts.
"Someone broke into the formation and was trapped in the hidden formation." Qi Zhiming knew it at a glance and comforted everyone.
After glancing around, he found that the elder and his stupid retinue were missing, and he knew it in his heart.
"It's okay, everyone keep playing, the intruder has been trapped, just go and see it at dawn tomorrow. Don't go at night, there is an ambush, and at the same time you can test the power of our formation. Qi Zhiming said calmly.
The mermaids admired Qi Zhiming very much, he said that it was okay, then it was naturally fine, and continued to play all night.
It is rare for the mermaids to be so happy, the dangerous existence and the seriousness of the elders make their lives boring and boring, so they have a lot of fun now.
It may also be the reason for the presence of two more young men.
For Qi Zhiming, there is the ambiguity of the princess first, and everyone doesn't think about him. But Gou Hong still can.
The sky was white, and everyone was having fun, so they went together to see who was trapped.
A large group of hula came to the place where the formation issued a warning last night.
I saw the elder and the stupid big man sitting in the middle of the formation with their hair disheveled, and their spirits were sluggish.
Qi Zhiming pretended to be shocked: "It's the elders!" How did you run into the middle of the battle by yourself? With that, he and Gou Hong entered the formation, carrying or dragging the two of them out of the formation.
The elder and the stupid big man were sluggish and had no strength.
Once the formation is activated, it is all illusory. The spiritual power of the whole body of the intruder was absorbed by the spiritual power in the formation. It's like entering a swamp, it's okay not to move, but the more you struggle, the deeper you will fall.
When the elder's spirit recovered a little, Qi Zhiming asked: "If the elder wants to test the formation, he should also tell us first, if there are three long and two short, then we can't afford to suffer!" ”
"Formation....formation....very good! Old... Husband, the old man is very satisfied! The elder said intermittently.
Qi Zhiming hurriedly greeted Gou Hong and sent the elder and the stupid big man back to their residence to rest.
Gou Hong was sarcastic all the way.
"Old fellow, although the two of us keep quarreling and no one is convinced, but today I really obey you. Well, I'm not afraid of death, and you're even more afraid of death than I am, and I obey you. Second, you have lived for such an age, and you don't hesitate to die for your clansmen, but you can't die, I don't support the wall, so I will obey you! ”
"How good do you think it is for you to go to the strangulation array under my Minggobu? That's heroic righteousness, the clansmen set up a stone monument for you, and you will be immortal from generation to generation! Do you know what it means to be immortal? It's going down in history forever! How great is that? Gou Hong chattered.
The elder didn't know if he was mentally damaged and didn't recover, or he didn't want to deal with him, so he kept humming. did not say anything to refute it, and let Gou Hong's number fall.
"For more than half a month, I have been discussing life with you every day. When will you tell me the secret of your longevity before you dedicate yourself to righteousness, okay? Without you, who would I ask for advice? Isn't that boring to death? ”
Qi Zhiming kicked Gou Hong and didn't let him continue.
"How do you talk to your seniors? The seniors are mentally damaged, so they have to take care of themselves, don't talk so much nonsense. ”
After sending the elder and the stupid big man back to their lodgings to recuperate, the island had nothing to do for a while, and it returned to its former peace.
Three days later, Qi Zhiming drew the formation on the map, and the map was to be handed over to the elders, and he also went to visit by the way. The elder was in good spirits, exchanged a few pleasantries, and walked out of the cave towards the high place on the mountain. Along the way, the mermaids greeted each other with smiling faces, and their status was not better than before.
"Da Gou, I see that the elder seems to be a little afraid of you! What's going on? "Qi Zhiming discovered the abnormality when he first returned to the island, but he was busy arranging the formation these days and had no time to ask.
"Brother Ming, let me tell you. After you went out with the princess, I was bored, wasn't it? It's not okay to catch a small game to eat, you can't wander around, and you can't go out to sea to play alone······ This doesn't work, and that doesn't work. Gou Hong said angrily.
"I can't help it, can I? I ate my stomach before dawn in the morning, and then I went straight to the old fellow for advice. What exactly can be done? What not to do? I'm very polite to ask! I debated for three days and three nights. ”
"The old guy coaxed, so it's okay, that's okay. I, a man of respect, suspended the debate. After going back to the house and having a full meal, I thought about some things and still didn't understand, so I went to ask for advice again. ”
"The old fellow was just about to go to bed, when I dragged him up again, and continued to consult him for another day. And no matter what I said, the old guy agreed. We've always been very reasonable, haven't we? I didn't force him to do anything. When I went back to ask for advice the next day, the old guy told me to do whatever I wanted. Gou Hong said innocently.
Qi Zhiming "poofed" and was happy: "You kid is stalking." The elder is so old, how can he afford it with you? ”
"Isn't that what it takes? Don't restrict young people too much? Don't do this, don't do that. If you don't try it, how do you know that it won't work? Right? Gou Hong said eloquently, there is really some truth.
After a few more days, he visited the elder again at his quarters, and saw that the elder, although he was still a little sluggish, was already much more energetic.
"The spirit of the predecessors is very good, and the spirit of Ryoma will be met soon. Just take a good rest and hope for a speedy recovery! Qi Zhiming greeted sincerely.
"There is Lao Xiaoyou's concern, and the old man is grateful. The old man is sick, and he hopes that the little friend will take care of the clansmen. It's a drag on the little friend, take more pain, and thank you afterwards! The elder said earnestly.
As soon as Qi Zhiming heard this, he felt that something was not right, this is the rhythm of his succession? Although he and the princess are in love, he also decided to help the mermaid family tide over the difficulties. But he is not of his race, and he has no intention of being an elder.
I am used to being casual, I just want to hide in the island with the princess, be a fairy couple, and live a free life, and there is nothing else to ask for.
So he hurriedly said: "The younger generation does their best, but they are scattered, and I am afraid that they will live up to the trust of their predecessors." Please recover as soon as possible, and the juniors still have something to ask for the seniors to agree. ”
"Xiaoyou is polite, the talent of heaven should shoulder a heavy responsibility. The old man's temple is small, and he can't keep the big god. The princess was born smart, but she was young, and during the old husband's illness, the two of you assisted in handling the affairs of the clan. Alas, the old man is old, and the princess must lead the people to survive alone, which is really difficult for her. The elder said, a cunning in his cloudy eyes.
Qi Zhiming was in a state of confusion for a while, and said goodbye and walked out of the cave.
······
"Brother Ming, why are you unhappy? The old guy is not difficult for you, huh? Gou Hong looked at Qi Zhiming's depressed appearance, and asked worriedly for a while.
Qi Zhiming put together the arrangements for Gou Hong, the promise to the princess, and the plan to buy the island.
"Brother Ming, you are really smart and confused for a while. Zhuge Liang asked Zhou Yu to lose his wife and soldiers, and today he will let the old guy lose both money and money, you listen to my analysis. "Gou Hong is confident.
Slowing down his excitement, he analyzed: "I bought the island, I took the mermaid's treasure to Zhangluo, you have to send me to land, right?" On your way back, just run away with the princess halfway. With Brother Ming's ability, the old guy may not be your opponent. Then we find a place to meet and live our wonderful little life. ”
"You have set up a guard array for them, and you can be regarded as worthy of them. If the princess gives birth to you a doll, when you come back to visit them once a year, you can strengthen their formation by the way. If you still want to buy an island, just buy it for them. There are so many treasures left by Old Man Liu that you can't use them up no matter how you use them. Afraid of him? Brother Ming, did you say? ”
Gou Hong's analysis is not thought-out, but Qi Zhiming has other ideas and arrangements, so he has his own different lives.
