On this day, the six people of the curtain frost moon all gathered in Ji Xiaowu's courtyard, sat on the pavilion, and asked Ji Xiaowu about tomorrow's competition, although they were very confident in Ji Xiaowu's strength, but they were still a little uneasy.

"Dangdang Dang"

Knocking on the sound of the pavilion door, Ji Shui respectfully came in to tell Ji Xiaowu, Qi Ming asked to see, since worshipping Chen Jiemo's door, occasionally there are difficult and miscellaneous questions to bother Chen Jiemo, since this month, Ji Xiaowu most of the time is to ask Qi Ming, Qi Ming for this new junior brother, is also full of words, in the magic circle of Ji Xiaowu a lot of help.

Ji Xiaowu went downstairs alone, and when he saw Qi Ming standing in the front yard, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Senior Brother Qi Ming!"

Qi Ming looked at Ji Xiaowu with a worried look on his face, he sincerely admired this newly started junior brother, and in less than half a month, he portrayed the water gathering array, which was really talented and admirable.

When he was a new entry, it took half a year to portray successfully, he thought that he was talented and dull, but he was really rotten wood, Chen Jiemo accepted him to get started, but also took a fancy to his tenacity, plus there are some talents, only to accept him to get started, after the entry, he found that he was indeed stupid, only the stupid bird flew first, and hard work every day was the right way.

Over the years, he has found out in depth, he does not deal with others, and he only has the study of the magic circle in his heart, and the cultivation of the magic circle has been regarded as a small success.

Chen Jiemo has a total of three disciples, among whom Qi Ming has the lowest talent, but up to now, his attainments in the magic circle are the most outstanding, and he is only half a step away from the Great Soul Condensing Realm.

One of the other two senior brothers because he was so ambitious, forcibly carved a high-level magic circle, and when he carved the magic circle, he accidentally caused a backlash, and was shocked to death by the power of heaven and earth, and died unexpectedly.

Another disciple was training in the Xiangyangguan Demon Slayer team at this time, but that person had a lively heart, not as stable as Qi Ming, and he could calm down, and the achievements of the magic circle were not as good as Qi Ming.

Today, Qi Ming heard the news suddenly from the courtyard, talking about his little junior brother and Yao Hanqi going to the ring of life and death, Yao Hanqi He knew that the third-generation successor of the Yao family, a master of five tricks, was admitted to the official disciple of Xiangyang Academy with the first place in that year, and then almost half a year after that, he was talented and peaceful.

"Little junior brother, Brother Wei has already learned about tomorrow's competition, how can you have a grudge against Yao Hanqi when you are a newcomer. ”

Ji Xiaowu looked at the worried look on Qi Ming's face, his heart warmed, and he could see that Qi Ming was loyal and honest, and he really treated him as a junior brother, so Ji Xiaowu told the ins and outs of the matter with Qi Ming.

After hearing this, Qi Ming frowned, and said slowly: "Little junior brother, I believe that what you said is true, if this is the case, then Yao Hanqi is also a hypocrite, I didn't expect him to be peaceful on the surface, but so insidious and vicious behind his back, I really didn't expect that the little junior brother was so dangerous when he was in the assessment, fortunately, you broke through at that time to avoid a disaster, do you remember who the leader is, and he will pay the price for his brother." ”

"Senior brother doesn't have to be like this, that person is also subject to others, and he was merciful at that time, even if this matter was revealed, but Yao Hanqi did not give up, this time in order to force me to go to the stage of life and death, first deliberately provoked me in front of the gate of Xiangyang Mansion, and now it is spreading news like this, it is indeed harmful to my heart not to die. ”

"It seems that this matter should not be dealt with, but I am worried about my brother that you have just entered the academy, and you are only like two at the time of the assessment, but I am afraid that I will not be defeated by Yao Hanqi, isn't it in vain to send my name, for my brother to ask for the master this morning, and he will come forward to let you not go to the stage of life and death, but the master did not pay attention to it, just replied to listen to the little junior brother, what does this mean, does the master not care about your life or death, and he is anxious for his brother to come. ”

Seeing Qi Minggeng's straight face, full of worry, Ji Xiaowu smiled slightly and said: "How can the senior brother be like this, the senior brother has thought about it a lot, but there have been occasional opportunities recently, and he has already learned the five tricks, but it is inconvenient to talk about it in detail, I am afraid that Yao Hanqi will find out, and maybe he will think of some way to harm me, this time let the senior brother worry more, it is really the fault of the senior brother, here the senior brother apologized to the senior brother." ”

After speaking, Ji Xiaowu bowed deeply to Qi Ming, in order to show respect for Qi Ming, in this world, there are not many people who really think about you, and Ji Xiaowu is indeed sincerely grateful for what Qi Ming has done.

When he heard that Ji Xiaowu had learned the five tricks, Qi Ming was also shocked, and his eyes revealed joy, and he couldn't help asking, "Really?"

"Really, otherwise, according to the personality of the master, how could he ignore me, there must be something to rely on to be like this. ”

"Hahaha, okay, I'll just say that Shizun won't be like this, regardless of your life or death, this month, Shizun has been thinking about you every day, I haven't seen Shizun so happy for so many years, and I often used it as a negative teaching material for my brother, and I have been trained several times. ”

After listening to Ji Xiaowu's explanation, Qi Ming smiled straightforwardly, and his worries disappeared, but he still bothered a few words, so that Ji Xiaowu could not be careless.

As he was talking, Pei Baohu and the others all came down from the attic, and after seeing Qi Ming, they all saluted.

"I didn't expect you to be here too, I think you were also worried about the safety of your junior brother this time, so you came to the party, right?"

Pei Baohu took the lead and said: "Senior Brother Qi don't worry, Xiao Wu, this kid has always liked to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and his mind is lively, he has always let others suffer and take advantage of himself." ”

", how can I be so unbearable as you say. Hearing Pei Baohu's words, Ji Xiaowu scolded with a smile.

After hearing such unobtrusive words, Qi Ming was completely relieved, these people were all friends of the junior brother, and he also knew each other, and the trip to Haiyue Dazun Cave Mansion was also considered to be known, and after chatting a few words, he went back and continued to practice the magic circle.

After Qi Ming left, Mu Shuangyue and the others didn't want to disturb Ji Xiaowu too much, tomorrow is the competition, it's better to let Ji Xiaowu take a good rest today.

This competition also made several people see the gap between them and Ji Xiaowu, now Ji Xiaowu is already a master of five tricks, and others are only one or two tricks, and in the future, everyone will have to do tasks together, grow together, kill demons and eliminate evil, go north to Xiangyang Pass, and drag their feet back.

They motivate each other, chase each other, be brave after shame, know the weak and try to be strong, this is the ultimate pursuit between friends.

After everyone left, Ji Xiaowu took out a simple black magic pen, which was carved with exquisite patterns, and there was a faint white glimmer between the patterns.

There is also a pile of array paper, ordinary paper can not gather the power of heaven and earth at all, only this kind of specially processed array paper can be used, these array papers are expensive, can absorb the power of heaven and earth and converge on the paper, most suitable for the magic circle master to practice the magic circle, but only suitable for the cultivation of junior magic circle masters, these papers are worth fifty merit points just one piece, it is really expensive, if it is not for Ji Xiaowu has 20,000 merit points in his hands, I am afraid that he really can't afford the magic circle cultivation.

In the past few days, Ji Xiaowu has been practicing a new magic circle, this array is called the cage circle, the cage, the cage, this kind of circle will be like a birdcage in an instant, imprisoning people, the cage circle will change according to the complexity of the pattern, the more complex the pattern, the stronger it becomes.

Listening to Chen Jiemo's narration, when he was just promoted to the Soul Condensing Realm, he learned the cage array, and instantly the formation slid into a formation, and imprisoned an intermediate Soul Condensing Realm on the spot, although the imprisonment time was not long, but the master's moves were only in an instant, and they changed rapidly.

For tomorrow's life and death competition, Ji Xiaowu has never relaxed any vigilance, although he is also a master of the five tricks, but the lion fights the rabbit still needs all his strength, not to mention when it comes to life and death, he has never been an indecisive person, since the other party wants to let himself die repeatedly, then he will not be a soft-hearted master, benevolence and kindness are not used here, so Ji Xiaowu has to learn the killer weapon again to be better, only by hiding more killer skills, surprise, can he win with one blow.

In the past few days, Ji Xiaowu always has a feeling that he is almost successful, according to the memory in his heart, Ji Xiaowu is still as if he has just practiced, first use a paintbrush to draw the cage array pattern on ordinary paper, and practice repeatedly, he is like this in the past few days, practicing no less than 10,000 times, for the cage array pattern is already clear in his chest, even if he closes his eyes, he can draw it, but he is still not satisfied with the status quo, and still practices the most fundamental and basic things.

The lines of the cage formation are on ordinary paper, and they cannot be formed at all, only through the special array pen, the power of heaven and earth is communicated with the power of heaven and earth by using the void as a drawing board, and the form will be shown after the success.

Time passed little by little, Ji Xiaowu continued to paint for more than an hour, the ground was covered with paper, scattered on the ground, this courtyard except for Ji Shui's three servants There was no one else, Ji Xiaowu issued a strict order, it is forbidden to disturb when cultivating, especially when cultivating the magic circle, so this small courtyard is extremely quiet.

Ji Xiaowu's whole mind was focused on the tip of the pen, he took a deep breath, and his eyebrows flashed with golden light in an instant, the moment Ji Xiaowu lifted the pen, the momentum climbed, the surrounding void was windless, and the paper was flying everywhere.

On the table of the table, there is a piece of paper that exudes fluorescence, it is the array paper, almost in one go, flowing water, I saw Ji Xiaowu holding a black array pen, swaying left and right on the table, and gradually there was an afterimage flashing, for a moment, the array paper suddenly emitted bursts of light, as if born in the void suddenly appeared, a small cage circle of length, width and height was formed. Suspended in the air.

"It's done. ”

The moment the circle was formed, Ji Xiaowu's face was overjoyed, and he looked at the hanging cage circle in a daze, only to see that this circle was like a bird's cage, and the pillars were condensed by the power of heaven and earth.

Ji Xiaowu clenched his fists and exerted all his strength, shouting: "Qianjun fist."

For a while, the strong wind was blowing, and the power of heaven and earth shook, hitting the cage array, this magic circle did not move at all, as if embedded in the air, and slowly disappeared into the void after a stick of incense.

Ji Xiaowu nodded with great satisfaction, and then continued to practice, at present, Ji Xiaowu is only a beginner in the magic circle, and can only depict the magic circle in the array paper with the help of the array pen, and when Ji Xiaowu is promoted to the intermediate magic circle master or becomes the soul condensing realm, he can use the power of the soul to depict the void and achieve the unpredictable state of ghosts and gods.

After this success, Ji Xiaowu practiced for half an hour, and finally picked up the pen to break away from the array paper in the void and depict a fan cage magic array, generally speaking, as long as it can be successfully depicted on the array paper, then it can be depicted in the void soon.

Unconsciously, night fell, Mu Shuangyue personally made dinner and sent it, the two ate together like an ordinary husband and wife, incomparably affectionate, after the meal, they discussed the exercises and classics, and worked hard for a common goal, tomorrow is a matter of life and death, Mu Shuangyue did not stay for a long time, Ji Xiaowu after sending off his sweetheart, he also rested as soon as possible, practicing the magic circle during the day does consume his mind, and there is a big battle waiting for him tomorrow, after this battle, he will become famous in a battle, since then, I am afraid that no one in Xiangyang Academy will know his Ji Rongwu name.
