According to Xingliuyun, among the materials transferred by the royal family, including the need to build a post house, the mercenary is being recruited, and the construction can start tomorrow, Xiao Cong did not return to the Chengdong Inn that night, because he wanted to observe the stars of the avenue here, and he had prepared the need to build a formation, and the elder of the Yuan Machinery insisted on accompanying him, and was persuaded to go back after Xiao Cong said it for a long time, no way, there are many cold beasts in the desert night, and strange things happen frequently, but it is not something that ordinary people can descend, and in the end, only Xingliuyun and Yuwenfeng were left to accompany Xiao Cong to complete this difficult task。

Thanks to God's favor, tonight's weather is exceptionally good, cloudless, starry scales, the Milky Way is like a brocade embroidered with thousands of pink diamonds, and the cold moon is like a crystal round pearl pressed on the brocade ribbon.

"The weather is really good tonight, God help me!" Xiao Cong couldn't help but admire, he turned his face to look at Yuwen Fengdu and Xingliuyun, but happened to meet the surprised gaze cast by Xingliuyun.

"Don't you know that there will always be only sunny days in the Yuandu?" Xingliuyun asked.

Xiao Cong shook his head solemnly, and the excitement in his eyes turned into doubts at this time.

Xingliuyun turned his face, his expression was slightly sad, and he sighed and said:

"It's always sunny here, because it's a place that has been forsaken by God. ”

"Why?" Xiao Cong couldn't help asking,

"Legend has it that the gods who once ruled here committed a mortal sin and angered the heavens, so the heavens sent down a punishment to erase the gods and the heavens and the earth from this world, and since then, not a single drop of rain has fallen here, and there is no grass within a radius of ten thousand miles, and the people who are now surviving in this land have survived to this day by relying on the regular relief of the royal family. ”

"Then why didn't the royal family move them elsewhere? This kind of thankless decision is not the usual style of the royal family. ”

Xingliuyun glanced at Xiao Cong lightly, and then said firmly:

"No, this is definitely not thankless, as far as I know, this is one of the testing grounds for the children of the royal family, and most of the royal guards are also from here, and the secrets of this place may only be known to the royal family. ”

Xiao Cong looked at Xingliuyun quietly, and said for a while:

"Boss, how do you feel like you're a little different tonight. ”

"Is there one?" Xingliuyun raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and a pair of peach blossom eyes were full of disapproval, "What's the difference?"

"It's not as skinny as usual. ”

"Stinky boy, I think you're more skinned than usual, so get to work." ”

............

Originally, the plan was that Xiao Cong could finish copying the astrological road map before midnight, and Xingliuyun sent a signal to Xuan Yue, and he could go back to the Chengdong Inn to make up for sleep before tomorrow, but who would have thought that the avenue of this Yuandu was very lacking, and there seemed to be something special in Xiao Cong's induction, but Xingliuyun and Yuwenfeng had to accompany Xiao Cong to stay in the desert west of the city for a whole night.

In the early morning of the next day, Xuan Yue led the group back to the west of the city, and Xiao Cong handed over the Astrological Dao Map to Elder Yuanji

, the latter took the back and looked at it for a while, his brows were tightly locked, and his face was embarrassed.

"Little master, from this point of view, I'm afraid this picture is not good for you and me. ”

Xiao Cong smiled and nodded:

"It's not too bad, it's just that it might take longer. ”

"It's ......"

Elder Yuanji's gaze fixed on a certain place in the astrological diagram, and he was half silent,

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Cong leaned over and followed the direction of Elder Yuanji's gaze, and saw a symbol similar to a cloud on the Dao map, which he had drawn in accordance with the Xiao family's unified mapping regulations, but he himself didn't know what this symbol meant.

"Little master, before building the magic circle, I'm afraid I'm going to set up a platform to worship first. ”

Elder Yuanji's eyes were deep, his lips were closed, and he had an unquestionable look.

Xiao Cong knew this in his heart, but it was not as strong as Elder Yuanwu's expression, he smiled slightly, and said calmly:

"Okay, just according to what Elder Yuanji said!"

In this way, what Xingliuyun said last night was true, this Yuan Capital may have really had a god before, for the array master, it is the most troublesome to encounter this kind of thing, especially when building a magic circle about the spirit body, if you meet a good-tempered person, everyone will go their own way after taking a picture, and they will be safe and sound, if you meet a strange-tempered person, according to the records of the Xiao family's array, such dirty things have been destroyed a lot by the Xiao family.

But today's matter is a bit special, if the other party was really a god back then, and without his consent, Xiao Cong would really have to go around, regardless of whether it can be approved by him or not, this matter still has to be tried.

"Boss, why don't you move the timber from the post house to build the altar first? Xiao Cong suggested,

"Well, do as you say!" Starstream agreed, very cheerfully.

Xiao Cong doesn't know much about things like setting up a stage to worship, according to the rules of Tiandaoxuan, he doesn't worship the world or the earth, let alone these demons and monsters, coupled with Tiandao Weng's lawless temperament, let alone let him sacrifice to ghosts and gods, maybe all the powers will have to secretly worship him in secret - pray that he won't meet him easily, so as not to cause trouble for himself.

But it seems that Elder Yuanji is quite good at this, I saw him holding the astrological Dao map drawn by Xiao Cong, turning around three times on the boundary of the west of the city, which is only a thousand directions, and finally drew a circle in a seemingly ordinary place, he pointed to this circle and said:

"Let's take it right here. ”

The mercenaries who had been waiting at the foot of the city wall for a long time, heard Xingliuyun's order, and began to work in full swing, Xingliuyun, Ouyang Xun and Yuwen Feng all took off their brocade robes to join them, and it took less than two hours to reach the time, and a altar that was more than three zhang high rose in front of everyone's eyes, towering and standing.

The sacrifices that had been prepared were carried to the altar one after another, candles and incense were lit, paper was turned into wine and poured, Elder Yuanqi and Xingliuyun and others knelt on the ground under the altar, kowtowing and waiting, while Xiao Cong put on a mask with a black and white grimace, held a dagger on the altar, and with a dagger, dropped a drop of blood on each of the two candlesticks as thick as a child's arm, and the blood met the fire

It was melted, and then it was vaporized, and with a sizzling sound, everything was done.

Xiao Cong put his hands together, his fingertips against his eyebrows, stood there motionless, for a long time, raised his head, on the altar, he couldn't see what kind of expression was under the mask, but a pair of exposed eyes were glowing with clear light and coldness, he bowed forward and bowed, and then walked down the altar.

Elder Yuanji and the others also got up one after another, greeted Xiao Cong who walked down from the stage, and surrounded him in the middle.

"How is it, little master, does he agree?"

Xiao Cong took off his mask, bowed his head silently, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Don't dismantle this platform yet, don't move the things on it yet, let's talk about it in three days. ”

Although Xingliuyun didn't know why, he still nodded, and didn't even ask why.

"Can we get started?" he asked.

Xiao Cong nodded,

"Let the mercenaries flatten this place, remember that you can only shovel down, not fill up, in my opinion, there should be a large stone beam underneath, and it can be safer to build the magic circle on the stone beam, and the rest will be left to me and the elders." ”

"Well, okay, I'll do it. ”

Xingliuyun nodded, turned around and walked towards the mercenaries, Xingliuyun had just walked on his front feet, Elder Yuanmu came over, he didn't speak, just stood there with his hands, or just waited there, after a while, Xiao Cong raised his head and said to Elder Yuanmu beside him:

"Elder, let's go over there first, I have something to say to you. ”

Elder Yuan Mechanic nodded, and said with his rigor and solemnity as always:

"Yes, Fourth Young Master. ”

Elder Yuan Machinery walked aside with Xiao Cong, listened to Xiao Cong's retelling of Xiao Tianyu's dream about the Blue Bridge, nodded constantly, his face was as serious as an eight or nine-year-old schoolboy, he was an old man, but he couldn't find the slightest feeling of relying on the old and pretending to be profound, such a simple and clean person is the person who is really needed in this era.

Finally, Xiao Cong said to Elder Yuanji:

"Elder, that's all I know about the Blue Bridge Dream, if it were enough to go somewhere else, but this place is a little different. ”

"Oh, even the Fourth Young Master thinks there's something else here. Elder Yuan Mechanic seemed to be quite concerned about this.

"Uh-huh. Xiao Cong nodded noncommittally, "There are other breaths here." ”

The look of surprise on the face of the Yuan Weapon Commander deepened a little, and he said thoughtfully:

"Originally, I only thought it was the ghost, but I didn't expect it to be like this, dare to ask the fourth young master what kind of breath is this?"

"Loyalty!" Xiao Cong's tone was extremely affirmative.

"Loyalty, I'm afraid that he is not loyal to the king and the lord, but it is really commendable that he can still affect the aura of heaven and earth after such a death. ”

"I don't want to say who this loyalty is, but what I care about is whether he has an impact on the construction of our circle. ”

Elder Yuan Arm waved his hand disappreciatively, and said in a firm tone:

"Although the fourth young master can rest assured, this spirit of loyalty and righteousness is not the qi of heaven and earth, but the qi of heaven and earth

Uncontrollable but can be channeled, and this spirit of loyalty is controllable, and since the ghost has allowed us to build a formation here, then he should not use this spirit of loyalty to interfere with you and me. ”

"But what if he didn't know that this aura would affect the construction of the circle?"

Elder Yuan Mechanic laughed and said:

"Fourth young master rest assured, the person who can turn into this heavenly spirit of loyalty after death will also be an extraordinary person in his lifetime, if he doesn't even know that the breath will affect the magic circle, then the bento is really God's eyes, but the breath after death can affect the luck of heaven and earth This is the first time the old man has heard of it, maybe it is not his breath after death that affects the luck of heaven and earth, but his will before his death. ”

Xiao Cong nodded thoughtfully, and felt that what Teacher Yuan Machinery Zhang said was quite reasonable.
