Chapter 688: Tricky
As he spoke, he arrived at the city, and when he looked down from the heights, he could see that the array divisions had begun to set up again.
The foundation and stakes of the array that have been laid out look down from the sky, very much like a piece of scale armor, very standard and clear.
I instinctively opened the magic eye to scan, and suddenly the whole world became a purple light world, hazy, a bit like an infrared scan of the world.
With this sweep, I couldn't help but be stunned, because in the middle of the dense array of scales, there was a small section that emitted a faint gray gas, which looked a little wrong.
If you look at it individually, you may not find anything, but when you put it together, it is more obvious.
"Look over there, the formation is not quite right!" I said, I had a bad premonition in my heart, Shi Xiaomei slapped the demon corpse and sneaked in to pick it up to destroy it, since she aimed at the array mage, it was completely possible to aim at the formation foundation that had been arranged.
The three-eyed man looked over there, the light in his eyes flashed slightly, and he obviously opened the magic eye, but it was puzzled and said, "What's wrong?" ”
I hurriedly pointed to the position, and also said the situation of the rising anger.
The three-eyed man was half incredulous, hovering over the array, still puzzled: "Why can't I see?" ”
I was stunned and said, "You're really ...... Can't really see the gray gas? ”
Three-eyed Lang shook his head.
I was speechless, that gray gas is easy to ignore at first glance, but the more I look closely, the clearer it becomes.
Although he didn't notice it, Three-Eyed chose to trust me and landed on the ground.
Not far away, dozens of arrays of piles were distributed in a very strange formation, and it looked like a straight line from high in the sky, but when it fell to the ground, it was found that it was not at all, and there was a lot of knowledge inside. The soil layer is full of lines, apparently used for positioning.
There is also a cordon of three steps and one sentry and five steps and one post nearby, which is heavily guarded, and no one is allowed to approach the formation pile and the formation base.
The formation is extremely subtle and exquisite, and the difference is thousands of miles, and it is inherently a matter of slow work and meticulous work, and it can't come fast at all.
When the sergeant and the city guard saw that it was us, they immediately got out of the way.
I stepped forward and opened my magic eye to scan again, and found that there were about a few hundred arrays of stakes emitting a faint gray gas.
The three-eyed lang asked if it was these, and I said yes, it looked at it, its brows suddenly furrowed, and said, "I still haven't seen any gray gas." ”
"That's the secret hand, the people of the Ghost King of the Mountain killed our array mage on the surface, but secretly they still left a hand, which is very hidden."
I said, and I can only explain it this way, otherwise it makes no sense to exude ash from the hundreds of array piles in a distance of less than twenty meters.
"I'm going to bring someone over and have a look." Seeing that I was resolute, the three-eyed lang didn't dare to be careless, and immediately went towards the mage cluster in the north of the city.
It didn't take long for it to return, bringing with it a white-haired array mage and a smiling Buddha.
The three-eyed man had obviously told the Smiling Buddha, and as soon as the Smiling Buddha landed, he walked to the side of the stake to take a closer look, and also opened his eyes, but he also shook his head: "I can't find it either, Xiaochun, you're not mistaken, right?" ”
"It's true!" I said seriously, this is a bit of a wicked thing.
But I think it should have something to do with the purple qi on my body, because purple light is the purest and most energetic thing in the world, and it is not difficult to understand that there is something special about it compared with others.
Seeing this, the three-eyed lang turned to the white-haired array mage, and said with a little respect: "Old Qin, take a look." ”
The old man nodded, walked to the side of the array pile and squatted down, carefully observed it for a while, and then said: "These array piles are not quite right, I can't tell which old ones they are, I feel a little dirty, and the inscriptions on them are a little dim." ”
As soon as the words came out, the faces of the three-eyed lang and the smiling Buddha both changed greatly.
The smiling Buddha scolded directly: "These deflated calves have one hand and one hand secretly." If you don't notice this, the circle will collapse directly when it is activated! ”
"No!" But the white-haired old man shook his head and said, "The magic circle will not collapse. ”
These words made the three of us stunned, and looked at each other, a little unclear.
The white-haired old man took out a small round lens and a small compass from his body, carefully examined the formation pile, and explained: "The formation will not collapse, and it can be opened normally, but it will become a weak point here, and it is difficult to say how weak and old it is now, but it is definitely not a good thing; And it was too late to notice when the circle opened. ”
"Can't you do temporary maintenance?"
My heart jumped, and my heart said Could it be that the Ghost King Palace is too hurtful, so God can't stand it. If I hadn't been taken to the sky by the Three-Eyed Lang, I wouldn't have been able to spot the anomaly.
"Nope."
The three-eyed lang shook his head and explained: "Once the magic array is opened, all the formation bases and formation piles will be integrated, this array is special, and it will be quite time-consuming and labor-intensive to replace the array piles in it, and it is impossible to change such a large area in a state of war." ”
"So what now?"
I hurriedly asked, this is not a trivial matter, there are hundreds of array piles that have problems.
"It can only be replaced, but our array piles are not enough, there is a gap, and a batch of them were destroyed by the last tsunami hit the city, and the number is already tight." The white-haired old man said in embarrassment.
"How much is missing?" The smiling Buddha couldn't wait to ask.
The white-haired old man said, "It is estimated that there are about two hundred." ”
"So much?" The smiling Buddha's color changed, and the three-eyed lang also frowned.
"Is that pile easy to make? If it doesn't work, ask Daomen for help, there are many people and great power, and there will always be a way. "I suggested, I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief after a series of twists and turns, but I didn't expect such a moth to come out again, it's quite tricky!
"It's useless to find the Dao Gate, this pile is made of the ice cubes of the Hell Ice, only it is missing, and the rest is easy to say." Three-eyed Lang said.
"Earth...... Hell? "I'm amazed, there's only one place in the Hell Ice, and that's the Nine Hell Hell.
Three-eyed Lang nodded.
I was speechless, I thought this thing was either metal or some kind of precious wood, but I never thought it was cold. Anyway, standing so close to the formation, I didn't feel any chill, and I saw the hell.
The three-eyed man and the smiling Buddha both looked at me, and the meaning was self-evident, asking me to get the main material. After all, I'm the only one right now.
I swallowed, looked at the white-haired old man, and said, "How much time do you have left for me?" ”
"For about a day and a half, the cold ice can't be touched by any dirty things, otherwise it will stain the materials, including the ghosts and shadows of the underworld." The old man said.
I nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go!" ”
The three-eyed man didn't say a word, he flew me directly to the shore, found a yin and yang boat, and ordered me to send me back to the yang world quickly. Although more than half a step also leads to some places in the underworld, if no one answers, things will not be done at all.
The Nine Shadows Cold Prison is a heavily guarded place, and it must pass through King Qin Guang, and to pass through King Qin Guang, you must first find the Night Wandering God. Sharpening knives does not mistake woodcutters, and it will be more convenient to detour from the sun.
An hour later I was back at Rouge Lake.
Without saying a word, I immediately pulled the fat man to go to the Broken Mountain Temple, on the way I told Miao Miao about the matter, she was very worried about my safety, after all, the current undercurrent is also turbulent, but it didn't stop me, and repeatedly told me to be very careful. He also said that he would report this matter to Daomen, so that Daomen could be prepared.
After waiting anxiously for a quarter of an hour, the little paper ghost finally appeared and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
I directly asked if the night wandering god was free, and he was in a hurry, so I didn't have time to elaborate.
The little paper ghost has never seen me in such a hurry, his face changed slightly, and he said: "Lord Qiao has not been in the capital city for the past two days, and I don't know where it went, I'm afraid it will be ...... for a while."
"Absent?" My heart sank and I asked, "Then can you contact King Qin Guang?" ”
The little paper ghost still shook his head and said, "King Jiang is high and powerful, and I am just a small yin, and I can't easily see it." ”
"Damn!"
I couldn't help but scold, what is this called, the chain fell at a critical moment.
The little paper man looked embarrassed, and there was obviously nothing to do.
At this time, the fat man spoke, and said to the little paper ghost: "Don't worry, otherwise, you go back now and try every means to find the night wandering god, just say that there is something more than half a step, and 100,000 is urgent." Chunzi, don't wait, set off to the capital city now, if you arrive at the city of the capital and just come back, then there will be no delay. ”
I nodded heavily, this is a hundred times better than waiting stupidly here.
It is naturally best for the night wandering god to appear, if it doesn't appear, I will forcibly break into the capital city to find King Qin Guang; In a day and a half, there is no room for negotiation in this matter!
The little paper man ghost replied and said, "Okay, I'll find Master Qiao and let him go to meet you outside the city." With that, I nodded and vanished.
The fat man and I immediately went down the mountain, turned the car around and went to He's house.
The last time I went to the underworld, I took the road of the Yin and Yang Shang He family to enter the capital city, and this time I have to find them. The leather-clothed guest's name is He Liancheng, and the current core family of the He family is the relationship between the family, but the blood relationship is already a little far away.
After the phone was connected, I told the leather coat customer a simple matter, and he didn't say anything, and directly said to go with me.
We converged halfway and went straight to the Xiaoxiang Inn where the He family was located, it was almost midnight now, and we had to go down before the rooster crowed, otherwise we would have to wait for a day in vain. The living and the underworld are different and take different paths.
The leather-clothed guest was very familiar with it, and he quickly broke the obstacle and stopped at the door of the Xiaoxiang Inn.
Xiaoxiang Inn is still the same as before, it has not changed at all, and the two red lanterns are printed with the words "Xiaoxiang people", which is as dark as a haunted house. We walked straight in, and the old man at the front desk was still called Shunbo, and there was another person next to him, who was He Changyang, the head of the He family.
Last time I came, he personally picked up my dart.
It's just that they lost to their grandmother's house on that dart last time, and the matter was revealed, and they also offended the power of the capital city, Youming. And standing behind Youming is the ubiquitous rebel organization of the underworld, taking refuge in the Ghost King Palace, and the head is still unknown.
As a result, the He family fled here in a hurry, for fear of being liquidated by the rebel organization in the underworld.
Fortunately, the quiet matter was later exposed and extinguished, and they returned here to resume their old business without incident. However, the original Yin Shang network laid out in the underworld has been basically unplugged, and it must have cost a lot of money to re-lay it.
At that time, because I was betrayed by the Yin people of the He family, I didn't bother to pay attention to their losses in a fit of anger, but I didn't expect to turn around and come back.
I muttered to myself that I was afraid that they wouldn't take the dart.
Sure enough, when He Changyang saw the leather-clothed customer, he instinctively piled up a professional smile on his face, but when he soon saw me, the smile immediately froze on his face.
The leather-clothed guest pretended not to see anything, and said with a smile: "Brother Changyang, this time there is something urgent, and I want to ask another dart to go to the capital city, we are willing to pay ten times the price, I don't know if it is convenient?" ”
Obviously, the leather coater also knew that the relationship between them was a little stiff, so he offered a high price.
He Changyang stiffly smiled and said: "Brother Liancheng, the underworld has been moving again and again recently, and the capital has been under martial law repeatedly, and the land is really inconvenient, I'm sorry, why don't you go to another dart shop and ask?" ”
The meaning of this prevarication and rejection is almost not written on the face.
"I'll pay a hundred times the price, don't go into the city, as long as I get to the underworld, I won't let you take any risks."
I just pointed a finger. The relationship is like this, and there is nothing easy to do, so you can only use money to open the way.
How do you know that He Changyang still shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, it's really inconvenient, why don't I help you contact other families?" ”
I instinctively held the handle of the dragon's tooth knife and toasted without eating and drinking!
If you want to be reasonable, it was your He family who betrayed me first!
