Chapter 120: Strange Formation
Mu Qinghan walked alone to the woodland in the west of the city, although the summer Nanzhao was thick and shady, it was also hot and humid. Although the 100,000 banner army did not camp in the city, the banner of the banner army was planted at the head of the city.
After Qin Yan led the army to Qixia Pass, the camp of the Western Tang army moved forward twenty miles in the direction of Wuling City, standing on the wall of Wuling City, and the continuous camp tents and walking figures in the west of the city were clearly visible.
The soldiers of the Western Tang Dynasty looked at Mu Qinghan from a distance across the woodland, and his unruly body condensed the spirit of righteousness, which was unacceptable.
He ignored the Xitang sentinels who moved from time to time to get closer, and focused on walking, with the wind under his feet but not touching the ground, bringing that supreme light skill to the extreme. I silently drew the set position in my heart, and when I was sure, I stopped, leaving a footprint.
The west of the city is five miles round, and the formation was set up by Weiyang earlier, and the exquisite arrangement saves him a lot of time to think, and stop, and set up a while in the formation, which can ensure that this side of the city gate is not lost.
Tang Feng was rewarded by the sentinel, and stood on a high place looking at Mu Qinghan, comparing his own martial arts with it, and admired it. After a while, I couldn't help but be shocked: this kind of light work, the only step in the world, suddenly thought that it was his opponent, and instantly became depressed.
Mu Qinghan held the fan with a dark golden light on his back waist in his hand, and as the fluttering figure shook away, there was a blade on each of the eighteen fan bones, scattering dark golden light, unknown but with a roar. As soon as I looked up and turned around, I could clearly hear the sound of broken branches of trees, followed by the sound of 'snorting' into the ground and nailing to death.
Tang Feng was speechless: This is the legendary second 'Heavenly Machine Fan' in the world? It turns out that he is setting up the formation!
As the name suggests, the Tianji Fan is the thing of the old man of the Tianji, and the person who can hold the Tianji Fan is of course the heir of the Tianji Gate. And the heavenly machine is the insight into the meaning of the heavenly machine, and the heavenly machine gate is famous in the history of the art of Qimen Dunjia.
For a full hour, Mu Qinghan landed on the ground facing the West City Gate, shook his robe and looked at Tang Feng with a smile on his lips, and then turned around and returned to the city.
Tang Feng was dumbfounded: what a good internal force that person was, he was breathing, and he could actually know where he was from a few miles away, how could such a powerful opponent fight?
Mu Qinghan entered the city gate, and after ordering the soldiers guarding the city to push the heavy gate to close, he turned around and slapped the city gate with his palm, embedding an object in his palm into the city gate.
"From today on, I won't open the door, and no one is allowed to approach, otherwise ......" Mu Qinghan swept his gaze with a beam of flame and fixed it on the city lord Wei Daying, "Life and death are conceited!" Retracting his gaze, he flicked his sleeves and floated up, galloping towards the south of the city.
Everyone only felt that a gust of wind was blowing in front of them, and they could not find his figure again.
Wei Daying's brows twitched, he was the lord of a city, and he said nothing. But since the Nanzhao War, any person who comes is stronger than him, and the unhappiness in his heart has reached the extreme.
"Big brother, which onion is he?" Yang Junguang looked at the unsafe look on Wei Daying's face, and also felt that he had no face to follow, and he was quite a bit angry.
Wei Daying naturally knew who Mu Qinghan was, regardless of whether he was a descendant of the four major clans of Eastern Chu, there were few people in the martial arts rivers and lakes who could reach him, and he also had the identity of the master of the world's money village.
He naturally knew that he couldn't afford to provoke him, not to mention that he only inherited his father's throne and succeeded him as the city lord of Wuling City, even if he was the real prince of Eastern Chu, he refused to bend his waist even if he was afraid of it.
Although Wei Daying is reckless, he is not dull.
"Big brother, those royal relatives are all gentlemen, where do you know about the suffering in the world, don't be pretentious? This city gate still used him to say, of course it can't be opened, outside the city, the Western Tang Dynasty is surrounded by strong troops, and Qin Yan led troops to the south, Wuling City is afraid that it will not be guaranteed! Yang Junguang said angrily.
Wei Daying took a few steps closer and looked up at the place where Mu Qinghan had just fallen into his palm, and a three-inch-long black and purple object was deeply embedded in the city gate, a millimeter lower than the plane.
secretly admired once, and the unwillingness in my heart could not be expressed again.
Mu Qinghan didn't ride a horse either, he went all the way south with his supreme light skills, but he landed silently in front of the crowd waiting outside the formation, patted his sleeves and coughed lightly, "Xiang Tianqi, how long have people been in?" ”
Xiang Tianqi looked at Mu Qinghan who didn't know when he came in a daze, looked at the back of the team again, and pulled his ears before saying, "An hour and a half, there was no movement." As he spoke, he stepped into the middle of the formation.
Mu Qinghan watched the changes between the terrain and the dense fog, and poked it with a finger, and in an instant, a light accompanied by a metallic sound sounded, and the dense fog suddenly cracked a thin slit. He floated in, blending in with the fog.
Xiang Tianqi really looked stupid this time, and couldn't close his mouth for a long time.
Let's say that Qi Yan opened the way in front, Qin Yan protected him, and ten good hands followed. After entering the formation, although the fog was thick at first, I didn't feel anything, but after a few turns, I felt that the fog turned gray-black, and it was so spicy that I couldn't open my eyes.
"Pull a thicker cloth, wet it, cover your eyes, mouth and nose, and don't open your mouth and walk on your shoulders." Qi Yan commanded softly.
Qin Yan first ripped off his robe and soaked it with water and blindfolded his eyes, his martial arts skills were extremely high, if he only knew where to go by ear on weekdays. But now that he is deep in the enemy's formation, he does not dare to be careless at all, and everything is according to Qi Yan's orders.
Smoke and heat swept in, and although he was not burned, his clothes were hot and his hair was curly.
Qi Yan was also blindfolded, and he practiced according to the formation calculation, walking extremely carefully step by step. It was easy to get to the position where it should be the formation gate, and when the spicy and faint fog was so faint that he couldn't smell it anymore, he tore open the blindfolded cloth and was stunned for a moment.
Seeing his appearance, Qin Yan knew that something was wrong, and asked, "How is it?" ”
Qi Yan restrained his expression and said lightly, "There should be something in the three feet square here as a formation gate, and if you want to break the formation, you must first find and destroy that thing, and this formation will lose its effect." But the place is empty......"
Although Qin Yan has a limited understanding of the formation, the smoke in the place where he can walk must be in response to the fire in the five elements, and the objects here must be related to fire.
He turned around twice back and forth, but he didn't see anything, and couldn't help but frown: "Young Master Qi, can you still move forward if you try?" ”
A sentence reminded Qi Yan.
I saw Qi Yan nodding, and went around the formation gate first.
I didn't go far before the fog cleared and a cemetery became clear, and several people were in the graveyard, and the way they had come was gone. The cemetery is very large, the grave is very high, and hundreds of winding paths are entwined in it, like a huge labyrinth, and I don't know which way to get out.
Qi Yan was a little stunned, pinching his fingers to calculate, but no matter how he calculated, he had no clue.
Qin Yan squinted his eyes and looked around, the grave was old, and it seemed to have existed for hundreds of years.
"Take a break here and go!" After Qin Yan finished speaking, he moved back and forth, left and right, and looked around, watching Qi Yan put a handful of jade pieces on the ground on his body, focusing on deduction.
He sat down next to Qi Yan and didn't ask much.
It was suddenly dark, Qi Yan got up with his eyebrows twisted and jumped on a grave to look at it for a while: "General, I'm afraid that this place will be unstable at night, and I won't be good at studying arts, so I tried to find a way, and let's take a look." ”
Qin Yan got up and said calmly, "Let's go, you can't be trapped here." ”
The group walked again, and after walking a small road, they were blocked by a large tomb, "It's strange, such a big tomb can't be invisible just now!" Someone muttered to himself inexplicably.
Qi Yan knew that this was an organ within an agency, so he became more cautious. But the grass was desolate, and he looked up at the half of the path beside the grave, and his heart was uneasy.
"The grave is new, it will inevitably change, be careful!" Qin Yan stopped and asked everyone to follow, he broke himself. The Ice Spirit Sword was in his hand, and the frost on his brow was three points colder than the sword.
Qi Yan was in front, bypassing the grave and entering the barren grass, the path was incoherent, and the road surface was very obvious for a while, and the path was difficult to find when the barren grass was flooded in piles. pinched his fingers and kept moving forward, the more he walked, the cooler his heart became, but there was a kind of unwillingness to urge him not to stop.
It wasn't until Qin Yan stepped forward a few steps to stop him that Qi Yan seemed to have fallen into a demon, his face was soaked with beads of sweat, but his hands were extremely cold.
He knew in his heart that he couldn't control his legs, and he came back to his senses when he was frightened by Qin Yan, and his spirit was already extremely sluggish.
Qin Yan checked his pulse, his heart was beating extremely fast, and he couldn't diagnose anything other than some evil cold in his body. He couldn't help frowning, turned around and looked at everyone carefully, and only calmed down a little when he didn't see anything unusual.
Qi Yan was injured, his spirits were not high at this time, and he was not sober.
"A few of you guard him and don't leave, a few of you look around and don't go far." After Qin Yan finished arranging, he got up on his own, and after performing light exercises and turning around in a big circle, he was secretly shocked in his heart: Sure enough, it was the same as guessed, but they had been walking around in circles for half a day, and the grave soil was still fresh, and they couldn't tell what was different.
Mu Qinghan fell to the ground and walked forward, also from fog to smoke, but the smoke seemed to be afraid of him, and the road he passed through was busy dodging and refusing to stop.
He was worried about the safety of Qin Yan and Qi Yan, so he moved forward at an extremely fast speed, and when he reached the position of the formation gate, he also found Qi Yan's question. He could have solved the formation on his own, but he was afraid that the changes in the formation would endanger the people in the formation, so he had to continue to move forward.
But this strange place is here, the road he walked was exactly the same as the path Qin Yanyi walked, but the changes he encountered were completely different, because the time had changed.
At first, Mu Qinghan didn't notice this problem, and when he finished the fifth formation, he suddenly stopped, thoughtful.
An hour and a half, in terms of time, Qi Yan's half-tone can't go to the fifth change, at most the third is great. Besides, half an hour after he came in was only two hours, so they should have met in the fourth or fifth change.
After a careful calculation, I strung together the road I had traveled and thought about it again, and suddenly realized.
There should be sixty-four changes in this array, and there will always be encounters along the way, and he is only afraid that if he misses two by two, it will be difficult to find. He also deduced the time when Qin Yan and his party entered the formation, such as retreating to the initial entrance of the formation, and waiting for the hour when they entered the formation before coming in, and then the formation he entered was Qin Yan and the others who walked through.
But I can't wait, I don't know how many dangers I have to go through day and night, and where can a few people survive.
I couldn't think about it right, but I couldn't think about it right, so I had to leave a stone mark at the gate of the formation, and the wind blew under my feet to another formation.
Qin Yan asked one person to carry Qi Yan on his back and go in the opposite direction first, leaving a stone arrow on the barren grass path that he had walked a few times, and the direction of the arrow was exactly where they went.
Catching up with the person in front, he took the lead with one person and one sword.
"General Qin, ten or ten steps to the left, two steps to the right, try and see." Qi Yan lay on the man's back, his voice like a mosquito and a fly.
Qin Yan followed his method, flickering left and right, and walked and stopped, and really bypassed the big tomb and stopped at the intersection of a chaotic path.
"Finally, finally came out." Qi Yan was pressed by this sentence, and kept gasping.
Qin Yan took out a medicine bottle from his arms, and there were only two life-sustaining elixirs left in it, which were extremely precious. He didn't hesitate to feed a large pill into Qi Yan's mouth.
"Don't talk yet, breathe yourself."
At the time of a pillar of incense, Qi Yan got up and fell to the ground, "General Xie's life-saving grace, it's a pity that just a little evil cold uses such a good medicine." ”
Qin Yan still looked at the endless cemetery with his eyes, and said coldly: "It is its mission to cure diseases and save people. ”
The corners of Qi Yan's lips curled slightly, "Why is the general still stuck in his heart when he can look down on everything?" Some things are not predestined, but if you are not determined, the results will be unexpected. ”
Qin Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at Qi Yan, in the dark night, his eyes were shining, and the bottomless darkness contained endless sorrow, he was actually trapped by love......
Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, he never thought that those few words were just the person next to him, but he didn't expect such a reaction. When he wanted to confirm the sudden appearance of being trapped by love in the eyes of the ice-like person again, Qin Yan regained his original coldness, and he couldn't read a single surprise.
sighed silently, for Qin Yan and for his sworn brother, that handsome young man.
Because of Qin Yan's words, the dead knot that had been twisted in his heart shattered. Three times and two reluctant entanglements and intentional concessions, wanting to leave but not leaving, not wanting to leave but not being able to bear to be strong, is exactly what Qi Yan said is not firm.
Danfan, Danfan is more determined, she is trapped and does not let go, and promises her her life, why struggle...... But I don't know if she will dislike that she has married a wife, and I used to hear her joke: "Your little green plum is really beautiful." Qin Yan, you really have everything that all men in the world want to have, accompanied by the nobles of the heavenly family and the first beauty in the capital...... Alas! He listened to her sigh later, and his heart ached, because he couldn't give her the only one, and he didn't dare to force her to be with him.
Luo Chen grew up with him since he was a child, and that child will definitely not be Luo Chen's. If the left engine is strong...... No, her martial arts are not something Zuo Qing can compete with, unless she voluntarily ......
In an instant, my heart was like being pierced by a sharp arrow, and the cool breeze hurt hard through the arrow hole in my heart before I barely thought about it again. Some hatefully bit the tip of his tongue, and the sweetness and pain in his mouth made him sure once again that no matter who she promised her heart to, she could only be his!
