Autumn leaves around a big circle, through seven interlocking yellow character small formations, two cycles of Xuanzi large formation, only to finally walk to the second layer of the altar, six feet higher than the first layer of the altar, there are stone steps on all sides of the connection, about one-fifth of the size of the first altar, in the second layer of the altar that has not yet been carved seals, there are several desks, which are piled with all kinds of books and drawings, several old people who are fifty years old around one of the tables, facing a long scroll on the table, pointing and arguing.

After Autumn Leaves walked up to the second-floor Xuan Altar, an old man who was already in the realm of heaven and man was the first to react, got up and saluted, "First disciple." ”

The rest of the old men stood up one after another and saluted: "I've seen the first apprentice." ”

After returning the salute one by one, Akiba asked, "How are the few of you discussing?"

This two-layer altar mainly places the spirit beasts of the four directions, that is, the green dragon in the east, the white tiger in the west, the vermilion bird in the south, and the Xuanwu in the north. This was originally the convention of the Quartet Holy Beast Town, but several Dao Sect elders had disagreements on the question of which Holy Beast Town Center to use.

The gray-haired and gray-bearded, weather-faced Taoist elder believes that the Xuantan is built, and the main thing is to kill, so the Rui beast cannot be used, but the fierce beast should be used. And Sun Deruo thought that the green dragon in the east belonged to wood, the white tiger in the west belonged to gold, the southern Vermilion Bird belonged to fire, and the northern Xuanwu belonged to water, just missing a central earth, the unicorn, so the application of the Rui Beast Qilin as the central holy beast, so that the five elements gathered together, it is right.

As for the elder of the Taoist sect who is famous for his deviant ways, he thinks that he should not use the holy beasts of the four directions, but replace them with: Prison Ox, Jianxi, Chaofeng, Pu Lao, Fox, Cunning, Negative Beast, and Nine Beasts, and then place a dragon soul on the third layer of the Xuan Altar, and arrange it into a pattern of nine dragons, and when the three-layer Xuan Altar is cast, it will definitely have the power of turning the world upside down.

After listening to the opinions of several elders, Qiu Ye said with a smile: "I am a member of the Dao Sect, after all, it is better not to make too many killings, although the pattern of the Nine Dragons is magnificent, it is also evil and good, hurting others and hurting oneself." And although the poor Qi is profitable, it is inevitable that it is not in line with our Taoist patriarchy. In my opinion, it's better to use Elder Sun's Qilin Town Center. ”

Sun Deruo smiled and looked at the other two proudly. The other two elders snorted heavily in unison.

At this time, Akiba looked at the long scroll that several elders had been pointing. The long scroll is full of various unique Taoist talismans, and if ordinary people look at it, even the realm of heaven and man may not be able to understand the meaning.

Qiu Ye gently stroked the long scroll, and Sun Deruo explained on the side: "This is the talisman seal to be used in the second layer of the Xuan Altar, a total of three hundred and seventy-eight, large and small, including one Tianzi Yuqing Fu Seal, four Di Zi Kun character seals, one dry character seal, thirty-six large Xuan character seals, seventy-two small Xuan character seals, and the remaining yellow character seals are not much to say." Now we have completed the second layer of the large and small Xuan character seals a total of one hundred and eight, the first layer of three thousand six hundred fine yellow character seals have been completed eight or nine times out of ten, there are still some details that need to be dealt with by a few of us old guys personally. ”

Qiu Ye snorted and said calmly: "News came back from the front, Xu Lin's movements are far faster than we predicted, and he has begun to move closer to Minxing, although there is Shen Dongzan to contain it, it should not exceed ten days, so I hope that the second layer of the Xuan Altar and the first layer of the Xuan Altar must be completed within seven days." ”

Sun Deruo sighed, "It's Sun Mou's incompetence, and he is ashamed of the trust of the first apprentice, and he asks the first apprentice to punish him." ”

Qiu Ye waved his hand and said softly: "It's okay, Elder Sun doesn't need to blame himself, after all, it is already valuable to be able to build such a scale in such a short period of time, but my requirements are too high." ”

Sun Deruo smiled bitterly, not only is it a little higher, but if it is a little higher, it will be higher than the sky.

A Xuan Altar comparable to a free immortal, if it is according to the normal construction period, it will take at least half a year to complete, even if it is the Taoist Sect in its heyday thousands of years ago, it will take three months, but Autumn Leaves actually has to complete the construction of the Xuan Altar in less than two months, is it not as difficult as ascending to the sky.

Akiba put down the scroll and asked, "How is the preparation of the third layer of the Xuan Altar?"

Speaking of the third layer of the Xuan Altar, Sun Deruo immediately made a bitter face and began to pour bitter water on the autumn leaves, the third layer of the Xuan Altar does not use many talismans, only four are enough, but these four talismans are three Tianzi Yuqing Fu Seals and one Tianzi Shangqing Fu Seal. Those three Yuqing rune seals were assigned to each of the three Heavenly Elders, but what should be done with that Shangqing rune seal? Can't let Elder Sun, who has stayed in the frost realm all his life, go into battle in person, right?

Then Sun Deruo changed his words, and began to complain about several elders, the ability to draw talismans and seals was returned to his master early, a few days ago, that Elder Mo Chen actually drew two great Xuanzi seals in a row, if he was asked to draw Yuqing talisman seals, I am afraid that the materials prepared were not enough for him to waste. As soon as these words came out, if it weren't for the other two elders to stop him, that Elder Mo Chen, who was famous for his deviant Taoism, would probably really have to face Sun Deruo, a hundred-year-old cultivator, and scold him face to face.

After finishing speaking, he began to say that those low-level disciples, at the end of the day, the progress is quite limited, without him, it is because the foundation is not strong, which is extended to the Taoist of the Taoist sect, if it weren't for Akiba coughing lightly and interrupting the old man's tirade, I'm afraid this old guy would have to express a little opinion on the real person in charge.

Sun Deruo, who was pulled back to the topic, began to make endless demands, it was best to have one or two more celestial masters, or a hundred more Void Soul disciples, no matter how bad it was, twenty frost disciples would be acceptable. As for all kinds of strange materials, whether it is the white jade used to build the foundation, or the finished talisman seal, or even all kinds of spirit stones, of course, the more the merrier, in Sun Deruo's words, it is in case of emergency.

Even Qiu Ye was quite helpless about this hundred-year-old cultivator, and after carefully noting down Sun Deruo's various requirements, he turned around and left the second layer of the Xuan Altar.

An elder who was originally in charge of the Dao Sect looked at Qiu Ye's back and said to Sun Deruo: "Elder Sun, why bother, after all, he is the first disciple, the future master of the sect. ”

Sun Deruo laughed and said: "If he is allowed to make trouble for us, if he is tired and tired all day long, we are not allowed to make some trouble for him?" Besides, my life is the life of an elder, and I am afraid of what will not be in charge." ”

The elder was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "That's right. ”

Sun Deruo glared at Mo Chen, who was squinting at him, and said, "Look at what, here Elder Ben has the final say, walked away, and started work." ”

Autumn leaves returned according to the original route, passing through the layers of large and small formations, until they walked out of the flag gate.

A gray-robed Taoist was guarding outside the flag gate.

Akiba glanced at him, "What's the matter?"

The gray-robed Taoist took out a secret letter from his sleeve and presented it with both hands: "Xiao Yu just sent back the military information from the front line. ”

Autumn Ye took the secret letter and waved his hand to signal the gray-robed Taoist to step back.

Akiba put the secret letter into his sleeve, walked back to the Dao Pavilion, sat on a cloud couch, and then took the secret letter from his sleeve and opened it.

The letter was short, with few words.

I have retreated to the direction of Qinghe as promised, everything is ready, only the real person is owed.
