Chapter Twenty-Six: Mixed Grass
Several elders came to the Seven Star Array one after another to check, and Suo Feng also came. The result of the inspection was that the Seven Star Array no longer had the effect of gathering spirits, and there was almost no difference between inside and outside the array.
Early this morning, all the disciples who had cultivated in the Seven Star Array last night collectively reacted that the Seven Star Array had failed.
Several elders looked around the inside and outside of the Seven Star Array a few times, and found no obvious traces of being moved, but they were suspicious of the bluestone slab in the center of the formation, and the soil around it was a little loose.
Just doubt, but dare not judge. In the end, it was unanimously decided to leave it to the lord of the castle.
Ximen Dayang had a yin face, and the Seven Star Array turned around a few times inside and outside, and finally stopped in the center of the array.
This seven-star array and the nine-chain array in the backyard have existed in the fort for at least a hundred years, and the current Xishan Fort family members of Ximen Dayang only know that this array was built by the ancestors in the fort, that is, several elders back then, and they are not very clear about the specific structure.
With the continuation of time, the formation secret art in the Purple Jade Continent has not developed, but regressed, all the warriors only seek their own cultivation of a mountain higher than a mountain, and the secret techniques other than their own cultivation are regarded as sideways, and they do not care about and ignore them.
Ximen Dayang and several elders also had some understanding of the formation, but the Seven Star Array had existed for hundreds of years, and they had never paid much attention to it before, and there was no information for reference due to its ancient inheritance, so they really didn't know what was wrong for a while.
"This must be the Eye of the Formation. Ximen Dayang stepped on the position in the center of the formation with his feet.
Several elders nodded plausibly.
"The array eyes are generally used with high-grade spirit stones, is it possible that due to the age, the spirit stones' spiritual energy has been exhausted?"
Everyone thought for a moment and nodded in unison: this possibility does exist.
"Well, Elder Mi Xi suspects that this place has been moved, the soil around the bluestone slab is a little loose, I think it is also a little loose, but there is another possibility, it is the broom that swept the dust from other places, and it is covered with a layer of floating soil. Ximen Dayang looked down and said.
"Then it will be clear if you bring Baili Huang over and ask. Mi Xi said.
Ximen Dayang shook his head, and Suo Feng said: "It's the disciple on duty who is cleaning here today, and Baili Huang hasn't shown up for more than half a month." I asked, but the disciple didn't know anything. ”
Mi Xi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that when the mid-year test was held in the castle that day, Baili Huang seemed to have something wrong under the roar of a lion in Ximen Dayang, and it had not recovered?
"Let's watch for a few more days, and if this formation continues like this, we will find a way to recover. "Ximen Dayang Road.
The castle lord spoke, and everyone stopped talking. This Seven Star Array is mainly a place for new disciples to cultivate, and the single building where the castle master and several elders live, originally had the function of gathering spirits in design, so they were not very anxious, it was just that the nine chains in the backyard were crowded.
Unsure, not anxious, does not mean that there is no suspicion, Ximen Dayang still gave everyone the task of secretly investigating. It's unlikely, but I don't dare to make sure which disciple has the idea of stealing the spirit stone on a whim.
A warrior who directly absorbs the aura from the spirit stone to cultivate is not yet in Xishan Fort, only by entering the Golden Mind Realm and becoming a god-level warrior can he barely absorb the aura in some low-grade spirit stones, and he must directly use the high-grade spirit stone to cultivate without restrictions, and only the strong person who has reached the god-level double can do it.
What Ximen Dayang is worried about now is that he will meet a brainless and greedy disciple, whether it is useful or not, he will take it for himself first. After all, spirit stones were hard currency in the Purple Jade Continent, and they could be exchanged for many things that would be helpful for cultivation.
Thinking of the spirit stone, Ximen Dayang's heart immediately palpitated, if he stepped into the god level now, then those scattered purple jade rough stones in the warehouse of Xishan Fort, could he use them as he pleased? The effect of cultivation will definitely be doubled.
Several forts surrounding the Purple Mountain have their own quarry pits, but the empire has a clear rule that the high-grade rough stones mined in each fort must be handed over in full, and those who hide it must be beheaded for public display.
No matter how strict the laws and regulations are, there are fearless lawbreakers. As a high-level of the empire, of course, he understands this truth, so all the pits in Purple Mountain are stationed in the supervision agencies directly under the empire, and nominally the pits still belong to the forts, but the rough stones mined are basically all transported away, leaving only some scattered low-grade rough stones to the forts.
"You go and see, has that Baiding boy from the Baili family come out?" After palpitations, Ximen Dayang directly ordered Suo Feng, "Kan Li's old thing has not moved these days, I think that kid should be safe." ”
Suo Feng led the way and left. Even if Ximen Dayang didn't tell him, the first target of his "visit" today was Bailihuang.
When the Seven Star Array failed, the first person he thought of was Baili Huang, although it felt a little strange, but he just thought of him.
Before he reached the hut that still had no wooden door, Suo Feng sensed the existence of Baili Huang. It's perception, not induction.
In order to verify his perception, Suo Feng was full of energy, and he dodged to the front of the house in a few vertical leaps. However, before he could enter the door, a strong stench emanated from the door, and the wind almost turned his back on him.
Covering his mouth and nose with the sleeves of his robe, Suo Feng cautiously walked into the house.
The wooden bed he had destroyed with a single palm was still lying on the ground, and a figure was now curled up on it.
"Oh, Ximen Dayang, this bastard, do you want to starve me to death?"
The figure shrunk on the broken bed board suddenly struggled and a moan came out of his mouth.
Through the voice, Suo Feng confirmed the identity of Baili Huang, and had the heart to hold his breath and observe him carefully, but the pungent smell had entered his lungs in advance, and at this moment he was nauseous and nauseated, so he had to turn around and jump out.
Back in the single building of Ximen Dayang, Suo Feng told the truth about the scene of seeing Bailihuang, and after that, he couldn't help but run outside the hall and retched a few times.
It seems that his mind has not recovered, he is incontinent, the air in the cave is already blocked, and Kan Li, an old thing, can't stand it anymore, so he threw him out. Ximen Dayang analyzed.
"Possibly, he's still crying hungry. "Suo Feng Dao.
Ximen Dayang thought for a moment and said, "Let the kitchen master bring him something to eat every day and keep him breathing." In addition, you send someone to find Baili Changsheng. ”
In the wooden house, Baili Huang listened to the wind and walked away, removed a wet towel from his mouth, turned over and got up with great agility, put away a few lumps of rotten weeds under his feet and by the door, went out and threw them into a pre-dug pit, buried them with soil, and stepped on them.
In less than half an hour, the air inside and outside the wooden house was fresh, and Bailihuang lay down leisurely on the broken bed board.
This morning, when Bailihuang went down the mountain, he picked up a few kinds of grass along the road, and rubbed them together as he walked. These grasses look ordinary, but few people can combine them, let alone think that they can create a strange smell.
Baili Huang's prank ability was learned from Baili Changsheng by chance, Baili Changsheng used them to drive birds, so he got a few kinds of grass, rubbed them together, and put them next to the bamboo mat where the elixir was dried, Baili Huang passed by, was smoked and almost wanted to vomit, and shouted that his home was invaded by carrion, and after Baili Changsheng slapped him angrily, he found out the root of the matter, and his eyes lit up.
After that, Baili Huang used this method to rectify Su Qi and Xu Guan once, and he went out once in a while, not wanting Su Qi and Xu Guan to disturb him. Today, the same method was used to smoke the rope wind.
Since he was not going to stay in Kan Li's cave mansion any longer, he would continue to deal with the other people in the fort, especially if he had just stolen the spirit stones in the Seven Star Array, they would definitely come to the door. But Baili Huang didn't want to contact them now, let alone let them see his true state, so he thought of this prank he had used before.
In the next few days, Bailihuang rested in the house during the day, and the master of the kitchen brought him food every day, and at night he slipped into the waterhole on the mountain to practice, and his body became more and more condensed day by day, and his mind was also repairing rapidly until he completely recovered.
Peaceful days are always broken unconsciously, in order not to attract the attention of others, Baili Huang went up and down the mountain to choose the moment when there was no one in the backyard, but someone inadvertently ruined his plan, this person is Qinyin.
