Chapter 284: Joining the Battle (Part II)
Bow your head and raise your legs, walk generously to the side of the formation, sit cross-legged, and take out a square low table with your right hand, this is not an item prepared by Xiao Tianyu for him, it is the preparation he made when he took Hongxiang into the Desert of the Near Yang that day, and it is the family that he and Hongxiang hid in the sheepskin tent to eat, fortunately, although Hongxiang is a little lazy to do, but he has always been diligent and tight in serving his master Xiao Cong, and has always loved to be clean, every time after eating, not only to clean up a battalion of leftovers on the table, but also to wipe the table spotlessly, so at this time Xiao Cong took it out, it was still as clean as newγ
He took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and laid them on the table one by one, and while pondering silently, he carefully studied the ink, and after about two quarters of an hour, he picked up the pen lightly, and looked at the formation drawings that were still laid flat on the ground and pressed by stones, and sketched them carefully on the white paper.
Generally speaking, this time he drew more slowly, stroke by stroke, stroke by stroke, it looked more like he was embroidering, although some places can be directly transcribed without thinking, but some places need to be carefully studied before he can write, these places are of different difficulty, some only take him a quarter or two of an hour, and some will take him nearly half an hour, but he does not seem to be in a hurry at all, as if he is immersed in it and forgets the passage of time, and is more concentrated than when he first participated in the study of this magic circle.
Finally, four hours later, Xiao Cong revised the entire array again, he put the pen on the pen stand, leaned back hard and stretched his neck with his arms stretched out a big lazy waist, a long moan mixed with the click sound of the twist of the neck, he closed his eyes lightly, looking like there was an indescribable enjoyment, and then, he put down his hand, but when he stood up, he couldn't help but fall down, he quickly raised his hand to hold his head to stabilize his figure, but he didn't fall to the ground, and suddenly smiled,
"Can make me Xiao Cong spend so much brainpower, Xingliuyun, buddy has really done his best to treat you, if it can't be done, you can't blame me, hehe." β
He stood with his head on his head, and stood for about half an hour before he put down his hand, leaned over and picked up the newly drawn array, smiled lightly, shook lightly in the air, and then walked towards the circle.
It seems that there is an inexplicable inertia in everything in this world, just like Xiao Cong now, once he is too serious, he can't stop at all, find faults, strive for perfection, and feel like an addiction!
At the beginning, he held the array diagram in one hand, and carefully changed the spiritual treasure with the other hand, and his eyes moved between the array and the spiritual treasure, staying for different times; later, he simply put the formation diagram on the ground, and carefully placed the spiritual treasure on the ground with both hands, and finally he even took out a repair tool, and even the shape and size of the spiritual treasure must be just right.
It was another three hours, and when the full moon was about to rise to the top of the treetops, Xiao Cong finished modifying the magic circle one by one, but he didn't rest, he directly put the formation map into the mustard, came to that irreplaceable place again, closed his eyes and felt it carefully.
Another half of the tea time trickled like water, and Xiao Cong opened his eyes gently
Eyes, pursed his lips lightly, frowned, he stroked the bridge of his nose with his right hand, and whispered:
"What the hell is wrong, shouldn't it......"
There was not only some heaviness in his tone, but also some anxiety, perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that he was disappointed.
In his induction, this magic circle is not running coherently, always feeling that something is singing against him, making him feel extremely uncomfortable, this feels like putting a small stone on the soft heart, although there is no harm, but always feel that the diaphragm should be panicked, he has always been a person who pursues perfection, how can he tolerate such sand in his eyes, but the modification of this magic circle has really reached the extreme he can achieve, and how to change it to make it run coherently, he really can't think of it.
His eyes suddenly became sharper, he lowered his hand, and said in a deep voice:
"No, it's not right, it's just that I haven't done enough, jade is more beautiful than fine carving, I must still have omissions. β
So he took out the drawings again, and by the bright moonlight, he held them in his hands and examined them carefully, he slowly shook his head, and his eyes swept on the drawings line by line, over and over again, faster and faster, without stopping, and finally, his gaze stopped abruptly, staring fixedly at a certain place on the drawing, and his voice was also fixed.
"This is it!"
The moon had risen to mid-heaven, and the moonlight stretched Xiao Cong's shadow not too long, nor too short, making him look like a humanoid monster with a black tail, and in this clearing with a very different atmosphere from not far away, it became another strange world of its own.
He walked over to a piece of spiritual treasure in the circle, gently picked it up, and put it away from the mustard at the same time, and at the same time removed the other spiritual treasure, trimmed it slightly with a repair tool, and carefully placed it in its previous position.
Putting the utensils into the mustard, he stood up with his hands on his knees, and with a short sigh, which sounded a little tired, he walked unhurriedly to the irreplaceable place, closed his eyes and was good again, and then opened his eyes, without much joy, only a slight smile.
"After a night of warm recuperation, the results should be available tomorrow morning. β
He looked up at the moon, a satisfied smile on his face, then lowered his head and paced back slowly.
Returning to the military tent prepared for him by Xingliuyun, he saw that the tent had faintly revealed fire light from a distance, Xiao Cong felt a slight difference, approached and lifted the curtain of the tent, saw that there was no one inside, looked around, and finally settled on the small square table in the middle, where there were a few dishes of rare delicacies in military life and a pot of water, faintly steaming, thinking that it should have just been sent not long ago.
Xiao Cong involuntarily raised his eyebrows slightly, and while suddenly remembering that he hadn't eaten for a day, he was also thinking about what was going on, and within a moment he couldn't help laughing, and scolded with a smile:
"This star boss who doesn't play cards according to common sense, could it be that he has been sending people to spy on me?"
Shaking his head a little helplessly, he slammed the half-lifted curtain and strode into the tent, the smile on his face made people look more and more satisfied, and more and more happy, how happy he was in his heart, how long had no one cared so meticulously
He's it, Hongxiang, it's one, but compared to what Xingliuyun is doing now, it always feels a little different, how to say that this is different? He doesn't know, anyway, it just feels different.
I didn't realize that it was okay, as soon as I found that I was hungry now, this stomach screamed angrily, he touched his shriveled belly and laughed at himself a few times, but he did not run directly to the small table, but turned around and turned to the side of the military tent, where there was a wooden frame with a high shout, on which was placed a copper basin, and there was half a full of clear water in the copper basin, which fluctuated slightly in the firelight, looking at the bright and shaking, he said that he reached into the water, and suddenly after a moment, the kind of satisfied smile that couldn't help but appear on his face again,
"It's still warm, this star boss, thanks to the fact that I'm a man, this has to be replaced by a girl, and my heart should have melted a long time ago at this time. β
Then he rubbed his hands with each other a few times, and finally washed his face, and then wiped his hands and face clean with a towel on the shelf, and finally came to the small table and sat down, eating like Hongxiang before.
This meal is really delicious!
Another night without words.
In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Cong, who had finished the morning class and washed up a little, came to the place where the formation was built yesterday again, and saw from a distance that there were already many people surrounded there, he walked forward slowly, and the crowd automatically opened a way for him, Xingliuyun and Yuwenfeng both turned their heads when they heard the sound, their faces were different, Xingliuyun stroked his palms and laughed, and shouted tactfully and intriguingly on the stage:
"Hey, the protagonist has finally appeared. β
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation like a flattering minion, but in the face of the young marshal of the three armies who had no manners at this time, Xiao Cong just glanced at him lightly, and continued to walk forward generously.
For this, Xingliuyun was not angry, still followed behind Xiao Cong with a peach blossom handsome face, and behind Xingliuyun was the **You Fengdu) who followed closely, and then Yuan Kui and other fierce generals, a group of dozens of people, led by Xiao Cong, continued to approach the place where the magic circle was arranged unhurriedly.
After walking dozens of steps, Xiao Cong paused, turned his head, and said with a smile:
"There's a magic circle ahead, let's stay first, I'll come when I go." β
As he spoke, he fanned out of politeness and nodded his head, which was regarded as treating everyone equally, including Xingliuyun.
Xingliuyun Taohuajun's face was still full of sycophancy, and he stretched out his hand again, and his eyebrows and eyes were crooked and he said cheaply:
"You have labor, you have labor. β
Xiao Cong looked funny, and after enduring it for a while, he still couldn't hold it back, and covered it up with a sigh, and then turned his head and strode into the formation.
Time passed minute by minute, I don't know what the state of the person standing motionless in the formation was, but it was true that the people outside were waiting anxiously, at such a critical juncture of the military situation, everyone put down their military affairs to see the extraordinary actions of Xiao Cong, the fourth son of the Xiao family, of course, although this is a strict order under the stars, it is not a matter of division after all, and there is even a suspicion of leaving his post without permission.
It stands to reason that the military's heart is unshakable, and if the country really does something about the organ, it is also a matter that must be kept secret, and the rumors will definitely make rumors
When the words are raised, the people will be panicked, and it must be a sign of unstable military morale, and they will be defeated without a fight.
Whether it's a dangerous move or a momentary omission, no one knows, it seems that the Xingliuyun, which has always been quirky and inscrutable, is not performing normally, that is normal, this guy is a master who habitually plays cards out of common sense, how much time can make others think of what he wants to do.
This is probably one of the charms of the Nebula.
