Chapter 11: The Eight Dragons Formation
Winter has gradually passed, although there is still a faint chill, but it can't hide the eagerness of everything to spring. The calm lake at the www.biquge.info of the Pen Fun Pavilion is already dotted with green, and the grass and trees are bursting out, which seems to symbolize that this year is another good start.
Early in the morning, Zhang Yang was woken up early by Qing Lao, reluctantly made some simple breakfast, and the two of them ate it, and then followed Qing Lao to the small lake.
Qing Lao stood on the big rock by the lake, his eyes drifted to the lake, from the day Zhang Yang saw Qing Lao, he found that Qing Lao likes to often stand quietly by the small lake, thinking about certain things in a blurred eye.
Although Zhang Yang was very curious about what the story of the old man was, Zhang Yang also knew that even if he asked the old man, he would not say it, in the final analysis, it was still a matter of strength! What kind of strength has what kind of right to speak, this is destined to be the eternal truth of the heaven-sent continent!
This time, the young man did not stand by the lake for a long time, but slowly walked to the lake, squatted down and gently paddled the lake with his hands, like a child, who seemed to suddenly have endless interest in the clear lake.
Zhang Yang didn't know why, standing beside the young man, looking left and right, looking back and forth, although it was an early spring morning, Zhang Yang still felt a little cold, couldn't help but shrink his neck, wrapped himself in clothes.
But Zhang Yang suddenly felt that the weather seemed to be getting colder and colder, and it was a little colder than when the heavy snow was covered in the severe winter.
At this time, a "click" sound came from the side, pulling Zhang Yang out of the constant complaints to Qing Lao, Zhang Yang looked at Qing Lao, and instantly gasped.
I saw that the hand of the old man who was constantly stirring the lake was already full of ice at this time, and the ice was still moving towards the lake, as if he wanted to freeze the entire lake.
Zhang Yang really guessed correctly this time, and in an instant, the entire lake surface had been frozen into pieces.
Qing Lao's hand, which was frozen at the same time, shook slightly, then easily pulled out of the ice, moved slightly, then put his hands behind his back, turned back to greet Zhang Yang, asked him to follow, and then walked towards the center of the lake.
Zhang Yang swallowed his saliva vigorously, Zhang Yang had always thought that Qing Lao must be a well-known martial artist on the mainland, but today seeing Qing Lao show his hand, Zhang Yang felt that he still looked down on his master.
In his own opinion, the feat of freezing the entire lake between raising his hands is not something that can be caused by manpower at all, but today the young man told him with practical actions that as long as you are strong enough, the power of heaven and earth will be inferior in front of you.
Zhang Yang followed Qing Lao step by step, and saw the fish frozen into ice sculptures at the bottom of the lake, and while secretly frightened, he was even more determined to become a powerful martial artist like Qing Lao.
The young man walked to the center of the lake with Zhang Yang, turned around and smiled at Zhang Yang.
"I know what you're thinking, you don't have to be surprised, I can do this step because I practiced a hundred years earlier than you, you are extremely talented, as long as you practice hard, it is only a matter of time before you reach my step or even surpass me, and then it will be as simple as waving your sleeves when you are frozen for thousands of miles. ”
Zhang Yang's face was straight, and he raised his hand and bowed deeply to the young man.
"Master, I will live up to your teachings and expectations!!
"Haha, it's a good ......" the old man laughed, jumped forward, forty or fifty feet, the old man squatted on the ice, pressed it with one hand, and shouted.
"Eight Dragons Array, get up!"
"This ...... This is ......" Zhang Yang stood in the distance and looked at the scene in front of him, which was even more shocking than just now.
I saw eight huge icicles with a diameter of about one zhang slowly rising from the surface of the lake, accompanied by a huge rumbling sound, the eight icicles were divided into eight directions: east, south, west, north, northeast, northwest, southwest and southeast, and there was a circular open space of about 30 zhang in the middle.
The icicles did not stop until they were nearly 20 feet high, and the lake was calm again.
At this time, the old man turned his hand and shouted again.
"Dragon Array, now!"
As soon as the old man's voice fell, the tops of the eight icicles changed instantly, and the eight hideous dragon heads slowly changed out, the dragon heads were lifelike, the lines were clearly visible, and they all roared in the sky, as if they wanted to manifest their true bodies and break through the air.
The old man exerted his legs, catapulted away, and was already standing lightly on top of a dragon's head, turned his head, looked at Zhang Yang, who was wide-eyed, and smiled slightly.
"Little guy, this is the formation that I saw from an ancient book when I traveled to the continent for my teacher, and this formation is said to have been created by a huge sect when the martial arts cultivation style in the Tianci Continent was at its peak ten thousand years ago, as for its function...... Hehe, that ancient book is a mutilated and unique book, a lot of it has been lost, and the old man only knows the method of arranging the array, but with years of continuous research, although it has not regained the power of this array in ancient times, it has also slowly explored some of the simple control methods. ”
"The reason why the teacher has set up this array today is to use this array to train you, so that you can better familiarize yourself with your spirit body, absorb and control the vitality of heaven and earth more flexibly, and enter the middle and late stages of transformation and even the realm of yuan shi faster. Haha, little guy, it's useless to talk too much, don't enter the battle yet!!"
In the end, Qing Lao shouted, Zhang Yang hurriedly lifted his steps, entered the center of the formation, and looked at the huge icicles in all directions with fear.
Qing Lao watched Zhang Yang enter the center of the formation, no longer spoke, and stomped the dragon's head with one foot.
"Eight Dragon Array, turn!"
The ice lake, which had finally calmed down, was restless again, with gusts of wind and ice crystals dancing in the air, not beautiful under the sun, but Zhang Yang was not in a good mood to enjoy such a beautiful scenery.
Zhang Yang found that as the gusting wind on the lake hit, a sense of crisis became stronger and stronger. Even Zhang Yang used the corner of his eye to find that the eight icicles that were originally hard were actually moving slowly, dancing with the wind like dragon bodies, and the corners of Zhang Yang's eyes jumped wildly.
"Whew......"
A sharp voice startled Zhang Yang like a talisman, only to see a strong white gas spit out from the mouth of the dragon head directly north in front of him, and shot rapidly towards Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang didn't have time to think at all, his body reflexively fell backwards, and the white gas could cross the tip of Zhang Yang's nose, startling Zhang Yang into a cold sweat, but the few hairs on his forehead did not escape, and were directly frozen into thin ice threads.
A wave did not go, a wave rose again, the dragon head in the east, west, and south directions shot out that white gas again, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached Zhang Yang's body, Zhang Yang had no time to react at all, only a thought flashed in his heart, "I'm going to die."
Qing Lao looked at Zhang Yang, who was frozen into an ice sculpture, shook his head slightly, and sighed lightly.
"Alas, it's still a little guy, and this time it's a hard time. But it's okay, if you don't have to endure hardships, how can you become a talent, jade can't be cut without a weapon......"
Qing Lao's left index finger tapped slightly, and a long Yuan Qi sword shot out of his hand, striking at the flamboyant ice sculpture.
With a "peng", the ice wrapped around the outside shattered, revealing Zhang Yang who was sitting on the ice and gasping for breath.
As the saying goes, there is a great terror between life and death, and before the white gas shoots at Zhang Yang, a feeling of death comes instantly, and Zhang Yang is completely out of breath.
So although the ice was broken, Zhang Yang was still in the fear of watching death just now, he couldn't lift his strength, and his body was soaked with sweat as if he had been fished out of the water.
Qing Lao jumped down from the dragon's head, stood in front of Zhang Yang, and said with a smile.
"Little one, how do you feel?"
"Feeling...... It feels like you've been shut down by a ghost gate......"
Zhang Yang didn't even have the strength to raise his head and talk to Qing Lao, he lay directly on the ground, and seemed to use up all his strength after saying a word.
"Hehe, you can appreciate this as a teacher, it's very happy, in the Heavenly Continent, as a martial artist, you originally lived at the Ghost Gate Pass, and if you were not careful, you would lose your life. Today, the teacher deliberately let you experience the feeling of wandering between life and death, hoping that on your future path of cultivation, you will be cautious and always be vigilant, and do not die on the way to enlightenment. ”
"The Heaven-Sent Continent is so big, the so-called geniuses are like carp crossing the river, but in the end, it is rare to really become the existence of the Xiaoao Continent, why, because too many geniuses have fallen before they become strong, and the geniuses who died will never be remembered. If you want to stand at the top of this world, the first thing to do is to live, and only by living can everything be possible!"
Zhang Yang lay on the ground, listening to the earnest teachings of the young man, and his heart was shocked.
Since becoming a martial arts cultivator, Zhang Yang thought that he had opened the door to the world of the strong, and coupled with the fact that he was a telekinesis who was praised even by the young and the old, he felt that a glorious avenue had been paved under his feet, and as long as he continued step by step, he would one day become a peak martial artist like the young man.
But Qing Lao's words today completely shattered the dream in his heart, indeed, geniuses who have not grown up in this continent abound, what are they themselves, maybe one day they will die on the road of cultivation, by that time, everything has been empty!
Zhang Yang slowly sat up.
"Master, thank you, I understand! Before I let others face up to my power, I will definitely protect myself well, practice hard, and make a splash!"
"Haha, if you don't make a sound, it's just a blockbuster...... Good apprentice, this is like my apprentice! It is good that you can understand my intentions! I hope that the alarm bell will ring in your heart, it is impossible for the teacher to always accompany you and escort you, you have your own path to go, the future belongs to you young people, work hard!"
At the same time, the old man silently recited in his heart.
"I hope that the teacher will still have a chance to see the day when you stand at the peak of the continent's martial arts cultivators......"
