Chapter 119: The Xiao Family's Past
When the moon was on the treetops, Xiao Cong suddenly brightened, the cold moonlight poured down from the window, spread on the smooth floor like a puddle of broken mercury, and the gentle evening breeze carried a cool autumn mood, but Xiao Cong's heart was like fire, so he was unaware of it.
Unconsciously turned his head, and saw the old flame-loving beast sitting at the main table meditating, Xiao Cong couldn't help but be slightly stunned,
"Hey, senior, when did you come?"
The old flame-loving beast closed its eyes, overflowing with coldness, and said lightly:
"It's been here a long time ago. β
"Oh......" Xiao Cong was dumbfounded, nodded, isn't it a bit rude to enter other people's rooms casually, do you think that you can be disrespectful to the old when you are old!
"Knock, knock, knock"
There was a knock on the door three times, and it was very rhythmic.
"Come in. Xiao Cong responded.
Steward Qin pushed the door in, he was dressed in gray cedar, looking very elegant, but not steady.
"Fourth Young Master," Steward Qin bowed and said, "I just saw that your breath was abnormal, and the old slave had no idea where to start, so I invited my seniors over." β
Frowning slightly, Xiao Cong said suspiciously:
"What anomaly?"
"Go crazy. The old flame-loving beast spoke lightly, and still didn't even lift its eyelids.
Xiao Cong thought to himself in his heart, although the old flame-loving beast had the possibility of lying, but Steward Qin would definitely not be embarrassed with him, so he immediately made up his mind, bowed to the old flame-loving beast with sincerity, and said:
"Thank you, seniors. β
Only then did the old flame-loving beast open its eyes,
"What can you learn from this? Let's talk about it. β
Since the thing was given by the old flame-loving beast, then Xiao Cong had no reason not to say it at this time, because this was principle and faith.
"This ...... This...... This... It should barely be regarded as an exercise!"
He was a little hesitant because he couldn't be sure.
The old monster and Steward Qin both raised their eyebrows, sucked evenly, and waited for the following.
Xiao Cong paused and said:
"This exercise is for non-Xiao family members, because even if they are not from the Xiao family, as long as they practice and succeed, they can control the array puppet array, and the spirit wood used to make the array puppet must also be the spirit wood in the ancestral tomb of the Xiao family!"
"There are such strange things! I've been in the Xiao family for so many years, why haven't I heard of it at all......
"But this can only allow the monk to control the ordinary killing array, which is probably about three or four percent stronger than the twenty-nine sword sealing mountain formation. Xiao Cong added.
"No wonder your boy is willing to tell the old man this. β
Xiao Cong smiled, as if unaware of the dissatisfaction in the old flame-loving beast's tone, and he continued:
"Senior, I dare to tell you one thing, this thing was written by Xiao Yang, the one hundred and eighty-fifth generation head of my Xiao family, but it was later lost by my father!"
"What do you want to say?"
"I just wanted to ask where you got this stuff. β
"It's too far back to remember. β
Xiao Cong pursed his lips, he knew that the old flame-loving beast deliberately didn't say it, and he was helpless about this perfunctory, but he knew that this volume, the old flame-loving beast must have come from the wrong way.
"Then how could the fourth young master go mad?"
"I'm so anxious. β
Xiao Cong and the old flame-loving beast spoke in unison, and after speaking, Xiao Cong scratched his head embarrassedly.
In less than one night, Xiao Cong made a full nine formation puppets, this time it was not a monster from the sidelines, but a genuine product that was replaced as a fake, and Tong Su was not deceived - although it was not the spirit wood in the ancestral tomb of the Xiao family, the power was greatly reduced, but Xiao Cong added his own blood to it, and it was expected that it should be able to last for a while.
This night, Xiao Cong was hearty, he felt that he had finally touched some real realm about the formation, because the formation puppet has to be said to be a rare masterpiece in the history of formation, he interpreted the truth contained in the formation from another angle, and at the same time, compared to the former sages and powers who had left endless achievements or great names in the Xuanzhen world on the Xiao family tree, Xiao Yang's existence is really not long, because this is at least what happened in this era.
To say that this Xiao Yang is also an out-and-out genius, starting from the first dai ancestor of the Xiao family, it is said that Xiao Qian participated in the war of subduing demons in the flood era, and buried a generation of demons, but that is a myth and legend after all, the history is too long, almost unverifiable, and then, Xiao Mingyuan created a precedent for planting arrays, and killed the fallen god in the ancient war, but the ancient law is dependent, but no one has learned it since then, Xiao Fengzhe does not follow the ancient method, and finds another way, and in Xiao Mingyuan's body formation The method of painting the formation with stone was born, and he showed his might in the ancient war...... In almost every catastrophe, the Xiao family will appear, and it will be passed on to Xiao Yang's generation, which is in a peaceful and prosperous era.
At that time, Xiao Yang thought that he was born at the wrong time, and it was difficult to make a difference, but he was unwilling to be mediocre in this life, and he could not succeed in following the ancient laws of his ancestors, so he wanted to go sideways, but those good ideas had been invaded by the ancestors, and after ten years of depression, he finally had a whim, and had his own grand goal - I want to carry forward the formation science, and I want everyone to become a formation master.
At that time, all the Xiao family members thought he was crazy.
Xiao Yang gave up the position of the head of the Xiao family to his younger brother Xiao Lan when he was thirty-five years old, and he closed himself in the guanzhong, studying the way of the formation puppet, he built a large array for himself, this array has no other use except for the fictional world, but for Xiao Yang, it is enough to satisfy his appetite, this array is like a dream of his, he can do whatever he wants in this array, everything is transferred to his thoughts, he will be all the illusion of the Xiao family into the array, all the ridicule and misunderstanding into affirmation and encouragement, in the array, he is a favored family master, not a madmanγ
With the passage of time, Xiao Yang's affairs were gradually forgotten by the Xiao family, and it was not until the moment when the phantom array stopped functioning that people finally remembered this period of the past, but that was sixty years later.
Some people seem to be born geniuses, darlings of God, and some unexpected things always seem to come true in their lives.
Sixty years later, Xiao Lan passed away, Xiao Lan's eldest son died young, and Xiao Lan's grandson Xiao Shuli became the head of the Xiao family.
Ninety-five-year-old Xiao Yang, who is already old, has no fairy wind bones, and no senile dragon clock, he curls up there quietly, like a pile of gray-white rotten cloth.
A thick layer of yellow paper lay on the floor, and in front of him, a pale yellow codex lay silently.
Maybe he's long dead.
Hearing that there was heavy snow on the day Xiao Yang saw the light of day, Xiao Shuli stood outside the formation for a long time, looking at Xiao Yang's withered figure until tears welled up in his eyes. Later, he bowed deeply to the dead Xiao Yang, and then personally dug the tomb and buried Xiao Yang.
But in the end, the secret method created by Xiao Yang still failed to spread, and his grand long-cherished wish to carry forward the formation study was not realized after all, in order to maintain the prestige of the Xiao family in the Xuanzhen world, Xiao Shuli made the Xiao family make a blood oath that year, and would never let this method spread out half a word, the reason is that the Xiao family is not as good as the generation of the ability to control the formation.
And the funny thing is that the first part of this method fell into the hands of the old flame-loving beast for some reason, depending on its situation, it seems to be the original!
