Chapter 177: The Great Array
Fang Rui had seen a lot of majestic cities - although he didn't have too much knowledge, but during the time he left Jixia Academy, he had traveled around and seen many heroic cities on the Flying Immortal Continent.
Just talking about Fang Rui's Fang family, it is now covering an area of three hundred miles, and the city wall is as high as ten zhang, a city of this scale is almost unique in the history of the earth. State governance, is more majestic and vast, according to the system of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, the county city radius can reach 500 li, the city wall can be as high as 30 zhang, similar to the medium-sized family, the state governance is thousands of miles away, the city wall is as high as 50 zhang, similar to the large family, Fang Rui has also heard of the Eastern Qi royal city Zibo, a radius of 2,000 li, the city wall is as high as 100 zhang, is one of the several male cities in the whole continent.
However, what Fang Rui saw at the moment was a completely different kind of city.
For the family, the ability to set up the forbidden air array is also a benchmark to weigh the overall strength of a family, and the forbidden air array of the official city of Eastern Qi restricts the monks to enter and exit at will, the larger the city, the higher the city wall, and the stronger the defense ability of the entire city.
After all, while setting up the forbidden air array, you can also set up a powerful killing array, these spells can be stacked, the more magic circles, the greater the lethality.
However, this city does not have a majestic city wall - the city wall is not nothing, but it is a section in the east and a section in the west, not in a row, crisscrossing the ground, and the moats are everywhere, and Fang Rui can feel the fluctuations of the forbidden space array, but it is not everywhere, but the same one in the east and one in the west......
When observing this city from the air, Fang Rui felt a little disdainful at first, thinking that it was indeed because of the lack of resources, so the core location of the Sima family did not have the ability to build a large forbidden air magic array, there was no forbidden air magic array and the forbidden spell densely spread on the city wall, no matter how tall the city wall was, it was just a large mound of earth for the monks.
However, after observing for a while, Fang Rui began to be a little frightened.
On the surface, there were flaws everywhere, but Fang Rui simulated the situation of a large army attacking in his mind, and he began to understand a little why the entire Sima family's station was like this.
Each trench is connected to each other, but in fact there are only three or four real passages, and the small forbidden air circles scattered everywhere make those enemies who can fly also have to land on the ground at some point, and in every turn and fast passage there is a faint circle that conceals the monk's breath, and behind the circle there are more hidden passages, and those passages have perfect defense facilities, and the monks can exert more powerful forces in them.
Simulating the scene of the attack of the fierce beast army in his mind, Fang Rui was stunned to find that in such a vast battlefield, if the defending side was prepared and prepared in advance, every magic circle with hidden aura was a good place to snipe, no matter what strength the monk was, he could show great lethality in such a place!
And such a magic circle that can conceal the breath, in this position, there are more than a million!
Thinking of the army of fierce beasts that moved when the Sima brothers and sisters broke through, Fang Rui understood how exquisitely such a battlefield was arranged!
As long as someone in the family wants to break through, they will unscrupulously release their breath under protection to attract fierce beasts to come, and the monks of the Sima family, who have been prepared for a long time, can slaughter those fierce beasts that they have the ability to kill one by one after entering the position, and no matter how many fierce beasts are scattered into this position, it is also a fate that there is no return.
Only pick the fierce beasts that you can kill, in this case, every time a dangerous family cultivator breaks through, it is a good opportunity for the low-level disciples of the entire family to cultivate!
The person who can take advantage of the situation and turn the unfavorable situation into an opportunity to improve the strength of the entire family is really a genius!
Seeing that Fang Rui had been concentrating on observing the big array, the two siblings, Sima Jie and Sima Ling, did not stop them, but smiled beside them.
Fang Rui let out a sigh: "What a big formation! Presumably, every time someone in your family breaks through, it will be a good opportunity for the entire family to improve their strength!"
"My predecessor is really as wise as a torch! That's right, here, not so much my family's station, is more of a defensive formation, and my family's real station is not on the ground, but underground. Sima Jie replied respectfully and admiringly.
Fang Rui nodded noncommittally, one of the six major families like the Sima family, they were only able to operate underground, and the living environment of the Shenren Continent was indeed very bad.
Thinking about it like this, Fang Rui was a little puzzled, these demon cultivators he saw were decent and had a bottom line, they were respectful and courteous to their seniors, helping civilians kill fierce beasts, and cultivating outstanding children among civilians, although they would change their surnames, they would still let them know which tribe they were from, and let them give back to the tribe after they finished their studies to protect the safety of one party - this kind of practice, even if it is not benevolence and righteousness, at least it can be regarded as a normal good person, why is such a group of good people called demon cultivators?
And the demon cultivators who survive in such a harsh environment still have the spare strength to go to the Flying Immortal Continent to make trouble, intending to subvert the rule of the monks? Is it just to gain living space?
Although there is no justice in the fight between countries, and in the face of the continuation of the race, any despicable and shameless means are not exaggerated, but Fang Rui still doesn't believe that a young man like Sima Jie will go to the Flying Immortal Continent to sow discord and find a way to kill the important figures of the Eastern Qi Kingdom to provoke the conflict between the royal family and the Jixia Academy.
So Fang Rui decided to pay attention to it again.
When he was on the Flying Immortal Continent, Fang Rui didn't think too much, but just for his own survival, for the establishment of the family, for the future of those brothers, to survive in the Eastern Qi Kingdom, to work hard to improve his status, to get more resources, Demon Cultivation?
Especially when they assassinated Tian Rufeng, the actual target was Ji Qingfeng, which made Fang Rui even more intolerable, although Ji Qingfeng and Fang Rui had nothing to do with it at that time, but now Ji Qingfeng has established a deep relationship with Fang Rui, although Fang Rui's temperament is indifferent, but no matter who it is, it is absolutely intolerable if it offends himself and the people he values, that group of demon cultivators will definitely be Fang Rui's target.
But after coming here, what he saw, heard, and knew made him begin to doubt, compared with various rumors, Fang Rui trusted his judgment more.
He even thought, could it be that this is not the Demon Cultivation Continent, it is another continent? If this is the case, it can be explained, although he has never heard of another continent other than the Demon Cultivation Continent, but who knows if there is any?
Just as Fang Rui was deep in thought, Sima Jie's strange question woke him up: "Senior, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, it's okay......" Fang Rui woke up in shock, subconsciously shook his head, and then showed a trace of sadness on his face: "Seeing your family so prosperous, the old man's heart is really gloomy, and I don't know what the situation of my family is now, if people have no home, like duckweed without roots, even if they are lively for a while, they will eventually rot into mud." ”
Sima Jie shook his head: "Alas, senior, you are alone, although lonely, but also a little free, although my Sima family is now prosperous, there are millions of capable gods, but it is still no longer the grand occasion of the year, not to mention that there are many factions in the family, and we are just obedient to the periphery, but the head of the Xiongfeng family is sick all the year round, and the family power is in the hands of Lord Ruochen and Lord Wuxu, but the two adults turn against each other because of political discord, and my Sima family may not have a great future." ”
Sima Ling sighed: "Brother, be cautious! Don't be heard by other people in the family, and it is not a good thing for us and other side disciples to be involved in this." ”
Fang Rui smiled slightly, any family, if the head of the family is weak, it is not a good thing, there is a powerful minister below, it is easy to suppress the lord strongly, if it is two powerful ministers, it is most likely infighting.
"I also asked my seniors to rest here, and my brother and sister went to report to the head of the family, and invited the seniors to rest. Sima Jie turned his head to Fang Rui.
"That's very good. Fang Rui nodded.
The Sima brothers and sisters confessed, then landed quickly, entered the battlefield, turned around twice, and disappeared.
Fang Rui also landed on the ground, standing on the periphery of the battlefield, leisurely holding his hands and watching around.
This garrison is really a big battlefield, you can see from the air that outside this battlefield, there is almost no hidden place, maybe there is no grass and trees, maybe it is manpower to clean up, all the surrounding grass and trees are gone, and there are no mountains everywhere, extremely open, and there is no obstruction of the line of sight at all.
"As long as there is an enemy, then you can find it and prepare for it as soon as possible...... There were people watching everywhere, and the defense was very tight. ”
Fang Rui thought in his heart, although he didn't seem to see anyone at a glance, Fang Rui could detect that when he and the Sima brothers and sisters appeared, dozens of eyes were immediately paying attention to them, and it seemed that Sima Ling's reminder was not groundless.
But thinking about it is also the proper meaning, such a big family, and surviving in the case of fierce beasts, the attention to their own safety must be mentioned to the highest level, and the monk is not like a mortal, he has a lot of energy and attention, and it is almost impossible to expect to slack off because of the human factor over the years, so it will naturally be maintained.
There is a wise predecessor, and such a large array set up can still run smoothly to this day, guarding the foundation of the Sima family and improving the strength of the Sima family, and it is not a fluke that the Sima family can become one of the six big families on this continent.
I don't know how strong the high-level strength of this family is, and my current strength can be compared with the peak monks of the Nine Grades, how many monks in the Sima family can fight against me?
There are also twenty or thirty monks in the Eastern Qi Kingdom who can fight against themselves now, and the high-level strength of the Sima family must not be too weak, right? But no matter what, even in the Flying Immortal Continent, a solitary cultivator with the peak combat power of the Nine Grades must be frantically co-opted by the major forces, and such a monk, even one, has a pivotal position.
In the Demon Cultivation Continent, it won't be unpopular, right? With such a loose cultivator as himself, even if the Sima family will be suspicious, they will try to pull themselves into their camp, right? In this way, they will be able to find out more news, if such a peak family does not know how to enter the Flying Immortal Continent, then I am afraid that there will be a little trouble.
Just as Fang Rui was thinking, a long horn sounded, Sima Jia, was about to come out to greet him.
