Volume IV: Test Feather Thirty-Four: Circle
In the room, Qian Chao didn't know what was going on outside, and he was still thinking, what kind of things would happen between Senior Brother Wu and Senior Brother Luan that could make Senior Brother Wu design to harm people?
But after thinking about it for a while, Qian Chao felt that it was a little redundant, it was likely that it was a cave with treasures hidden, Senior Brother Luan didn't find the right place, and the map was still valuable, so Senior Brother Wu came to find him.
There are many people who have practiced and lived in the sect for decades with those middle-level and high-level senior brothers who have been refining qi, who knows who can have any festivals and discord between whom, or don't want to.
Originally, Qian Chao planned to rest when he saw this, but the title of the latter story suddenly attracted his attention and spirit.
The title of that article is called "The Circle."
The Lingchuan Zhai family is just an ordinary family, and among the many families in Lingchuan, there is more than enough than the top, and there is more than the bottom, and they can only protect themselves. The head of the Zhai family is named Zhai Xiao, and he is a high-level monk who has built a foundation.
One day, Zhai Xiao received a guest at home, it turned out that the Zhai family had married a daughter to a prominent family in a foreign country, but that was also before Zhai Xiao became the head of the family, and it was Zhai Xiao's sister who married in the past.
This marriage naturally brought a lot of benefits to the Zhai family, but they were from a big family, so they naturally didn't look down on the strength of the Zhai family, and the road was far away, so after a long time, there was not much contact between the two families, and they became unfamiliar.
This guest's surname is Kuai, and his name is Kuaizhi, and the Kuai family is the big family that Zhai Xiao's sister married to.
The Kuai rank took out a letter to Zhai Xiao, Zhai Xiao unfolded it, it was his sister's handwriting, the letter said that the young man in front of him was his son, and now his practice is a little successful, and when he came out to travel, he wanted him to come to his mother's house to see it first, and kowtow to his grandfather and uncle.
It turned out that the handsome young man in front of him was his nephew, Zhai Xiao looked at it, and his appearance was not similar to his sister, so he should be similar to his brother-in-law, but he hadn't seen him for so many years, and he couldn't remember what his brother-in-law looked like.
But seeing that this young man's cultivation has already built a foundation, he can't help but sigh, the secret path is still that the big family will train their children, look at these sons and nephews in their own family, there are not many high-level qi refining people, how to compare with the Kuai family!
Since his nephew came to the door, Zhai Xiao naturally received him warmly, according to his thoughts, who can guarantee that this nephew will not be the new head of the Kuai family in the future, if this is the case, then his uncle's waist will naturally stand up straighter in Lingchuan.
After a treat, the two talked over tea.
Zhai Xiao asked his sister and some things about the Kuai family, and the Kuai rank answered them all like fluently, and he picked up the situation in the Kuai family and told Zhai Xiao one by one, and Zhai Xiao kept nodding his head when he heard it.
In the end, Kuai Zhi asked himself when he came to pass by a high mountain, and saw that there were many broken walls and ruins in the mountain, it seemed that it used to be a large manor, and I don't know why it is so dilapidated now.
Zhai Xiao thought about it for a while according to the direction of his nephew, and said that the mountain is called Haiyang Mountain, there was originally a big family of cultivating immortals in the mountain, the time is too long, it seems to be surnamed Sheng, and it was also a great family in Lingchuan at the beginning, and then gradually the talent withered and gradually declined, and then because of conflicts with other families, the Sheng family also died out after several battles, leaving some ruins there.
The rank nodded, as if he wanted to say something.
Zhai Xiao was curious, so he asked him to say whatever he wanted.
Kuai Zhi thought about it for a while, and said that he saw that there seemed to be treasures hidden in the ruins, why didn't the local family take them?
Treasure? This can arouse Zhai Xiao's mind, there are indeed rumors that there are treasures left behind in the previously defeated Nasheng family, but Lingchuan's large and small families have been looking for more than a hundred years there, and in the end, aren't they empty-handed? How did this nephew see that there was a treasure there?
After listening to Zhai Xiao's words, Kuai Zhi smiled, and said that if such a big family is hidden, there is naturally a formation guarding the treasure, and ordinary monks don't know the formation, and they don't even know where the formation is, even if they stand on top of the formation, as long as they don't trigger the formation, they can't see anything.
Hearing the word formation, Zhai Xiao believed it a little first, because the extinct Sheng family was famous for its formation in the first place, and the formation where the Sheng family hid the treasure was even more powerful, and no one has found it for more than a hundred years. But how did his young nephew find the formation?
Kuai Zhi smiled and said that he was studying the formation in the Kuai family, and even participated in the layout of some formations at home.
Seeing the doubts in Zhai Xiao's eyes, Na Kuai Zhi took out some utensils, arranged a simple formation in front of Zhai Xiao, and then asked Zhai Xiao to try it.
A middle-aged monk who built the foundation in the family was called by Zhai Xiao to enter the formation, and then the monk disappeared, and when Kuai Rank withdrew the formation, the monk appeared in front of the two of them again with sweat and exhaustion, and said to himself that after entering this formation, he couldn't see anything in front of him, and there was no focus on his whole body, although he desperately wanted to break free, but he couldn't do it anyway, only frightened.
Seeing the mystery of this formation, Zhai Xiao believed in the nephew's methods, and asked Kuai Zhi if he had the means to take out the treasures left by the Sheng family.
Kuai Zhi said that the formation of the treasures left by the Sheng family is extremely complicated, and he may not be able to do it alone, unless his uncle can help and prepare some things in advance, those things to be prepared are worth a lot of money, and it costs a lot of spirit stones, but if the treasures inside are taken out, he has to take half of them.
When he arrived here, Zhai Xiao had already taken advantage of his wisdom, and immediately agreed, and asked people to prepare according to Kuai's instructions, and strictly ordered the people in the family not to leak the slightest rumor.
After a few days, after making preparations, the amount of spirit stones spent was indeed a lot, which made Zhai Xiao's flesh ache secretly, but thinking that the treasures left by the Sheng family must be more and more tempting, he gave up. Then, together with Kuaizhi, the group secretly headed towards Nahaiyang Mountain.
They came smoothly to the ruins of the manor in Haiyang Mountain, and after searching for a while inside, they led everyone to the ruins of what seemed to be a building.
Then, according to his arrangement, those people from the Zhai family who came with him began to hold something and guard somewhere, and arranged them one by one.
After these were done, Kuai Zhi cautiously took out a stone letter, telling Zhai Xiao that this was the key he found from this ruin when he came here, and it was the key to open this treasure, he pointed to a square hole in the ground that was the right size for this stone letter, and said that as long as this stone letter was placed in it, a passage would collapse out of this place, leading directly to the place where the treasure was hidden.
Now that everything is ready, it is finally time to ask my uncle to open the treasure with his own hands.
Zhai Xiao was overjoyed, he didn't have him, he took the stone letter and walked over, he bent down and just put the stone letter there, only to feel that the ruins shook for a while, which made him even more excited. Just as he was waiting for somewhere to collapse, he was horrified to find that he couldn't even move half a finger. Not only Zhai Xiao is like this, but also the people who come with him, all of them are stunned, standing frozen on the spot, only their eyes are constantly shaking, how funny they are.
Later, the passage really appeared, a hole, and there was a sloping step inside, Kuai Zhi chuckled and walked in, and I don't know how long it took, that Kuai Zhi came out of it again, he clapped his hands at Zhai Xiao, and said I took all the things inside.
Zhai Xiao couldn't speak, but he was shocked and frightened in his heart, he didn't know what this nephew was going to do, was he going to swallow the treasures here? Could it be that all the people of the Kuai family act like this? Don't even talk about a little family affection!
It seems that you really don't recognize me, then Kuai Zhi said, no wonder so many years have passed, you haven't seen me a few times at the beginning, let me tell you now, Zhai Lin's Shen Lang, you always remember, right?
Zhai Lin is Zhai Xiao's sister, the sister who was almost forced by him to marry into the Kuai family.
That Kuai Zhi stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, and almost immediately changed his appearance, this face Zhai Xiao vaguely recognized it after recognizing it, it was his sister's lover outside, what his name was Zhai Xiao has forgotten, but his surname Shen is indeed true.
You used my life and my whole family to force Zhai Lin to marry, you can't forget this, I can't forget it, your sister Zhai Lin can't forget it, she has a bad life in the Kuai family, so her hatred for you is not weaker than mine. I had no choice but to watch her marry and jump into the fire pit, which was all your fault, whenever I thought of it all these years, I wanted to kill you with a sword!
I'm the only one left in my house now, huh! I'm also a casual cultivator, but after all these years of cultivation, I went to the Kuai family to secretly see her, only to know her recent situation, she is not doing well, I found her, she didn't expect that I still remember her for so many years, after a few trysts, the two of us decided to elope, otherwise the Kuai family found out that neither of us had a good end.
But even if you run away, you always have to be a little entangled, so the two of us made a plan, you don't know how Zhai Lin is all these years, and you haven't been to Kuai's house, so I pretended to be her son to find you, that letter was written by Zhai Lin, you are really the same as your sister said, both greedy and stupid, you really think I am your nephew! But if you pay to help me open this place, I won't have to worry about you.
Any idea why you can't move and I'm okay?
Kuai Zhi took out a jade plaque from his arms, shook it in front of Zhai Xiao's eyes, and continued.
In fact, I am not surnamed Shen, my original surname was Sheng, these Zhai Lin are all known, but they are the descendants of the Sheng family here, this is the site of our Sheng family, and this formation technique is also left by the Sheng family, I will naturally understand. Without this brand, no one can move in this array. The Sheng family is completely finished, only these things are left, and I couldn't open them before, but now, thanks to you.
I'm leaving, Zhai Lin is waiting for me, she won't let me hurt you, for the sake of now that you are my wife and brother, I won't hurt your life, but there is still punishment, you have to stand here for a while before you can move.
Don't even think about finding us after I'm gone, the world is so big, there are so many places we can go, so don't leave it at that.
After finishing speaking, the Kuai rank, no, it should be the descendants of the Sheng family, fluttered away.
This is the end of the story.
Qian Chao felt that there were many elements in the interpretation of this story, and maybe the person who wrote the book didn't know much about the formation, but just based on a legend, and then added his own ideas to write the formation in the book.
But it's not necessarily, Qian Chao's own formation, let alone getting started, can't even talk about a superficial understanding, maybe there really is such a formation.
But this story gave Qian Chao some ideas, one is that it seems that there are those family ruins in the cultivation world that have either disappeared or fallen. The second is that there may really be some hidden treasures in those ruins, or they are tightly hidden, or they are really protected by some formation.
If this is the case, then if you encounter such a person in the future, your own blue eye technique will probably come in handy.
But then you have to move some formations yourself.
Formation, alas, where to learn it, go back to the library to look for it, maybe you can see it from any book.
In the end, seeing that it was late at night, Qian Chao put away the book and rested.
