Chapter 24: Priceless Chance
Lin Xiaojiu, like the spirit rabbit who grew up here since childhood, has long been able to distinguish a safe way to live, Zhong Lingge followed her very smoothly, and reproduced the detailed explanations of the Seven Stars, Liuhe, and Five Elements Formations in his memory along the way.
The formation mantra absorbed the detailed explanation of the formation here, and for the purpose of protecting the sea of knowledge, the high-level formation was partially sealed.
Zhong Lingge was not in a hurry to go to enlightenment, the Nine Palace Bagua Array on the outer edge was enough for her to study again and again for a while.
After walking for two hours, Zhong Lingge finally began to regret that he had promised too early just now, Lin Xiaojiu did not have the thirst and tiredness of the human race, and he could never stop breathing.
"This is a flying fish leaf, medicinal effect? Hehe, it doesn't work! Why was it introduced to you? I'm afraid you haven't seen it.....
"Oh, speaking of fish, there is a living waterhole near the formation center, and there will be fish swimming in it occasionally, and I don't know where the waterhole leads, so it should lead directly to the ancient Taiji period! Hehe, don't look at me like a fool, I'm laughing!
"Zhong Daoyou, do you think underwater will be a place to put treasures? Otherwise, why would Gu Xiu bother to arrange so many formations! But even if there are treasures, they will become wastes after more than a thousand years, and you have the body to go into the water, and you can go down and have a look if you have nothing to do......"
Zhong Lingge was dizzy when he heard it, and he could respond sentence by sentence at first, but later found out that Lin Xiaojiu was purely lonely and wanted to talk for too long, and he couldn't talk to himself without a response.
She simply gave up the awkward chat and focused on replicating the formation, occasionally distracting herself from asking a few questions of interest.
"Lin Daoyou, your father and mother should be the last batch of monks to enter here, and they gave birth to you after they turned into ghost cultivators?"
"No, my mother was a Taoist cultivator when she was pregnant with me, and she was seriously injured after entering the secret realm, and her body couldn't be saved.
Zhong Lingge was even more curious: "But you look about the same age as me, only thirteen or fourteen." ”
Lin Xiaojiu didn't quite understand it, he only knew that his birth was indeed different from others.
"My mother said that she only found out that she was pregnant with me after she turned into a ghost cultivator, and she was born after thirty-six years of pregnancy. The strange thing is that I still have a physical body after I was born, but I am very fragile, and when I was seven years old, I fell and became a ghost for some reason, and my father and mother had to let me switch to ghost cultivation. ”
Lin Xiaojiu's soul body is stronger than that of his parents, and he has advanced to the late stage of the first order after six years of cultivation, and he can be regarded as a good seedling in ghost cultivation.
Her parents' cultivation path was not so smooth, and they encountered all kinds of difficulties in transferring cultivation halfway, and failed to successfully break through the third-order level in the second order, and both of them were scattered.
"It's been more than a year since they died, and I can only talk to rabbits and fish every day, and I always want to cry at night, but the ghosts can't shed tears, and when they cry, they howl, and they sound weird at night! Hey, if only I could go out, my father said that there are a lot of cities outside, and they are lively from morning to night! ”
"There will be a day! One day we will be able to cultivate under the same Heavenly Dao. ”
Seeing Lin Xiaojiu's lonely and hopeful eyes, Zhong Lingge remembered his mother who had passed away for many years. It is very likely that she has also become a ghost cultivator, waiting alone in a fragment for the upper and lower domains to merge with the fragmented world, waiting for the Heavenly Dao to return to completeness.
If only that day had come sooner.
"Lin Daoyou, is there any information about the integration of the upper and lower domains in the fate that your father and mother found?"
"Nope. They only found a brief introduction to the exercises and ghost cultivation, and in addition, there was only a jade slip left by the predecessors who arranged this formation, well, that's it, you be careful, things more than a thousand years ago are easy to break. ”
Lin Xiaojiu took out an ancient jade slip from the soul sac, and there were already countless scratches on the appearance.
"Thank you Lin Daoyou!"
Zhong Lingge used the gentlest wood spirit power to hold up the ancient jade jian, levitate it in front of him, and carefully probed into his divine sense to check it.
The owner here claims to be an idle and scattered person, who does not know his gender, but only says that the realm has been unable to advance to the perfection of the body due to mood disorders, so he has created a "retreat forest" meditation in this wilderness.
The formation here is connected to the terrain of the spiritual veins within a radius of thousands of miles, and unless the spiritual veins and mountains and rivers collapse together, the formation will not fail.
The idle clouds scattered people knew that there was no hope for advancement, and there was not much left of Shouyuan, so they left this encounter for people who were destined to explore in the forest on their own.
Zhong Lingge's heart moved, the treasure does not necessarily have to be a physical object, the opportunity left under the formation center may be the formation experience of the idle clouds.
There are many opportunities for cultivating immortals, and the experience left by high-level ancient cultivators during the Tai Chi period is definitely a rare opportunity, and it is a priceless treasure that no matter how many spirit stones are smashed.
"Lin Daoyou, how far is it from the formation center here?"
"We are in the last Five Elements Formation, and after passing that tree, we will enter the only Four Elephant Formation, and when we get out of the way of life, the center will be reached."
Lin Xiaojiu was simple-minded, he didn't hide his selfishness at all, and pointed to a towering giant tree in front of him and said in detail.
"The center of the formation is a valley formed by a phantom formation, if we are lucky, we can see the situation elsewhere from the waterhole! My father and mother said that maybe because the formation connected this terrain, that waterhole became a mirror of water reflecting other places. ”
"The formation cultivation is really infinitely mysterious when you cultivate it to the depths!"
Zhong Lingge had never heard of such a wonderful formation, and now the formations circulating on the market in the lower region were all fixed formulas, and what everyone learned was a familiar routine, and the power of the formation depended on the foundation materials and the realm of the monks.
Most of the monks who know how to study workarounds are clan elites who are not worried about resources, and their experience will never be passed on.
Zhong Lingge has the assistance of mantras, and it is easy to study the formation, if he has the flexibility of ancient cultivation, he will definitely be unbeatable in the formation.
"It's here!" Lin Xiaojiu turned the last fork, and his eyes suddenly opened up. "Look, that waterhole is what I said about the water mirror, do you want to go over and take a look?"
"Okay!" Zhong Lingge wanted to know how Lan Xianyue was doing, and Hu Jiufei, a casual cultivator who had made an appointment with her to form a team, didn't know if it was safe.
The two of them came to the edge of the pool, stood on a huge rock, and looked at the calm black water.
After waiting for about a stick of incense, there was still no change in the water surface.
"Well, maybe I won't be able to ...... today" Lin Xiaojiu floated around on the water, a little disappointed that he didn't let his new acquaintances see the fun picture.
Zhong Lingge had been observing while waiting, the phantom array here was connected to the outside formation, as well as the entire secret realm, and there must be a switch that could activate and close the water mirror.
Either it moves the base of the formation, or it triggers a certain direction of the formation......
"Lin Daoyou, do you remember every time you see the water mirror picture, what direction is it floating in?"
"It seems like where you're standing, a little further to the left, a little bit later, yes! Ah! Appeared! ”
Lin Xiaojiu happily cheered and floated over, taking a look at the lively scene in the water mirror, and then at Zhong Lingge.
"How do you know this can be turned on? And it's so stable as soon as you turn it on, why is it that every time I see it, it's intermittent, and it disappears after a while? ”
