Chapter 4: The Mystery of the Circle
Mo Yuan thought to himself, he took the liberty of leading people to go, if he was discovered, he was ambushed by the enemy, and in the end he would suffer the loss, so he asked Bian Lu again: "Can the other party discover the secret of the formation?"
Bian Lu replied: "There shouldn't be, because of this, He Xing sent someone to investigate, and it was when I saw that a Xilu guard came here that I rushed back to report." ”
At this time, not far from the Demon Abyss, an old man in the crowd on the right opened his mouth and asked, "How many people are there who went to investigate the formation?"
"There are only three of them!"
"Three?" the old man suddenly laughed, "Presumably there are no He Xing and Yu Yang among these three!" Mo Yuan seemed to think of something, and suddenly looked at the old man, and the old man continued: "Except for these two, the others don't need to be taken into account at all, not to mention that there are only three people, we only need to send a fierce general to intercept and kill them halfway when they return to Xilu." By the way, you can also send some false information to Na He Xing Xiao'er and pour him some fan soup. ”
After saying that, the old man and Mo Yuan laughed almost at the same time, and then Mo Yuan asked the soldiers present who was willing to enter the spirit to complete this task, and before everyone could speak, a young man sitting on the left closest to Mo Yuan stood up and took the initiative to ask Mo Yuan to fight. Everyone looked at each other, this person was the demon heart of the young master of the demon clan hand-picked by the demon yuan.
After the current ruler of the demon clan takes office, he will select a young man with excellent qualifications to become the next prince. and personally cultivated it from an early age, until he abdicated and was succeeded by the prince he chose. Of course, the selected personnel must be recognized by the high-level cadres in the clan. And the prince who was selected to the throne was the young lord before he succeeded to the throne.
Demon Heart, formerly known as Yixin, became the prince of the throne at the age of ten, and now, he is eighteen years old. This person is talented and intelligent, and he has studied hard and practiced since he was a child, and Mo Yuan likes him very much. Don't look at his young age, he is very good at kung fu. I was actively involved in any important task, and I did it well.
When Mo Yuan saw that it was the Demon Heart asking for battle, he thought about it for a while, thinking that he should be able to solve it at this time, so he nodded and agreed. "You will go with Bian Lu in a while, and while completing the interception mission, you will also learn more about the situation over there by the way. I intend to take you with me this time, and you must not let me down when the time comes. ”
Demon Heart nodded, as if full of confidence and determined to win. At this time, Bian Lu on the side said: "With the help of the young master, I think when I enter the spirit again, I will be able to successfully complete the task and obtain more information." ”
Hearing this, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Moxin's mouth. And Mo Yuan didn't have any expression, and asked Bian Lu: "Does General Bian have any other information to provide?" Bian Lu heard this, and then returned to the truth, and continued to report to everyone: "This time, in addition to going to Xilu, I also went to Yunliao City in the west and Tongqi City in the south. In addition, there are not many defenders in the two cities, and the strength of the defenders is unknown for the time being. Overall, the Spirit Army has few elites, and it should not be too difficult to deal with if it is lax and unvigilant, but it is necessary to discuss how to minimize our casualties. ”
Hearing all the information, Mo Yuan pondered slightly. But then I think it's not time to think about it, and there is still something to solve in front of me. So he instructed everyone to think about the best plan for the attack, and the next time they discussed, they should confirm the plan of attack. Then he signaled that everyone could disperse, and Demon Heart and Bian Lu stayed alone.
After everyone left, Mo Yuan told the two again: "After the two of you enter the spirit, remember to act carefully, don't make a big move, and usually act in a low-key manner. If you have the opportunity, try their ability to defend the generals, and we will have a bottom in our hearts in the future, you only have three days to go, and in three days we are ready to attack, and then you need to rush back here to make final preparations and adjustments for the attack. ”
The two of them listened carefully to Mo Yuan's instructions and kept them in their hearts, and then the two of them bowed to Mo Yuan and walked out of the camp.
As soon as he came out of the camp, Demon Heart exhaled a long breath, feeling like a bird flying out of the cage, relaxed, he had basically been by the side of Demon Yuan since he was selected as the next successor at the age of ten, and rarely had the opportunity to go out alone. And every time he seizes such an opportunity, he will feel so free.
The two of them walked towards the place where the formation was located together, and along the way, Bian Lu was still explaining the precautions to the demon heart, but the demon heart's mind was not here, he couldn't listen to a word at the moment, and it was pitiful that Bian Lu spent a long time talking along the way.
The two walked to the top of the formation, and the surrounding soldiers saluted the two of them, Bian Lu responded one by one, and the demon heart ignored these completely, his eyes kept on the "time and space" in the formation, and walked to the "time and space" approach, the demon heart stretched out his hand and put it on the "time and space" staff, and suddenly felt a trace of coolness coming down the palm, which instantly spread throughout the whole body, the demon heart couldn't help but shudder, and the hand placed on the "time and space" involuntarily let go, although he was very interested in this staff, but at this time he was unwilling to touch it again. "Uncle Bian, I only heard about it before, but now I can really see it, and right in front of my eyes, it is said that ancient artifacts have their own magical powers, but not everyone can see them. Is it really so magical? Demon Xin asked Bian Lu beside him curiously.
"Of course, I've already tried it, and this 'time and space' really lives up to its name!"
After hearing this, the demon heart couldn't wait to try it, urging Bian Lu to activate the spell quickly. Bian Lu laughed twice, reached out and grabbed the staff, and suddenly, a trace of coolness spread throughout his body, and Bian Lu's face inadvertently showed a trace of pain. When the surrounding soldiers saw Bian Lu open the magic circle, they retreated one after another, retreating to about five meters outside the magic circle, staring at the changes in the magic circle. At this time, Bian Lu recited a few strange incantations in his mouth, and then, the light on the "time and space" instantly became dazzling. At the same time, the formation on the ground was also shining brightly, and the runes in the formation seemed to come alive, moving regularly within the range of the formation.
The Demon Heart felt as if it was fixed by a spell at this time, and it didn't move. Then his eyes and mind gradually turned white, until finally his world became completely blank.
On top of the formation, the light emitted by the "Time and Space" Staff became more and more intense. At the same time, the two people beside it also emitted a dazzling light. These lights were connected together, getting stronger and stronger, and just when the light flickered to the point that people could not see directly, all the lights dimmed almost instantly, returning to the original green light, and the two people around "time and space" had disappeared. From a distance, it was as if nothing had happened, and it was still so peaceful.
At this time, in the western part of the spiritual realm, three people came from the fields outside the village and entered the village.
Tao Xianzhang and the two entourages finished investigating the whole picture of the formation, at this time, entering the village, the three came to the village chief's residence, Tao Xianzhang briefly told the village chief about the results of the three people's investigation of the formation. This formation covers an area of about 100 square meters, most of which are among the grass and trees. Judging from the current situation, it is in an unmanned state, but it is still unknown why it can still operate and expand under unmanned control. In addition, the three of them reaffirmed that this formation was not offensive in nature. It is still in a safe state. After hearing this, although the village chief was still a little worried, he was also a little relieved after knowing that the formation was safe.
Tao Xianzhang promised the head of Bai Village and the villagers that after returning to Xilu, he would report the truth to He Xing, and then study the strategy of cracking the tactics as soon as possible. At this point, Tao Xianzhang remembered He Xing's original explanation, so he said to the village chief: "When Tao came, Lord He asked me to give you a message. If you have difficulties in living in the village or farming, you can ask him at any time. Although the village is not large, it is also part of the Xilu region, and if the village chief needs it, please feel free to speak: "Say goodbye and return to Xilu."
After hearing this, the village chief of Keyin was extremely happy to have a good impression of He Xing and Tao Charter in front of him, and when he heard that Tao Charter was going to resign, he wanted to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. "General Tao has come from afar, how can he come and go in a hurry, you might as well rest in the village for a night today, rest for a while, and return early tomorrow morning. Besides, it is not early today, and when we return to Xilu at this time, I am afraid that it will be late at night, and there will be many inconveniences, so the general will solve our problems for us, please allow us to return the salute to the general. ”
Tao Xianzhang thought about it for a while and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Although the formation has expanded, it has little impact on the villagers, and the village chief is enthusiastic to stay overnight today, thinking that there is a difficulty and needs to ask us for help, in addition, we can also use tonight to sort out the information about the investigation formation. After discussing with the three of them, they accepted the invitation of the village chief and decided to stay here for the night tonight. Subsequently, the village chief summoned the villagers to prepare for today's hospitality. The village also came alive.
At the same time, on the secluded field formation, a burst of bright light flashed and disappeared. Then two figures flashed, a middle-aged man and a teenager. After the two appeared, the middle-aged man took the lead towards Keyin Village.
At this time, the people in the village were setting up a banquet for Tao Charter, although it was not very rich, but it was rare in this small village. Not far away, on the rooftop, two figures were looking here. One of the middle-aged men said: "It seems that these three people have not left, and we came in time." The young man next to him nodded, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Let's do it now, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”
The middle-aged man hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop: "Young master, the other party's skills are still unknown, and there are many noisy people here, it is inevitable that he will be released, and he will definitely startle the snake." The young man smiled slightly, turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, and said lightly, "I'm joking." The middle-aged man reluctantly turned around and continued to watch.
These two were none other than Demon Heart and Bian Lu, and they observed here for a while, and after learning that the three of Tao Xianxian were going to settle down tonight, they left first.
As night fell, the crowd in the village gradually dispersed, and the lights of the houses were turned on. The three of Tao Xianzhang were sitting in the guest room arranged by the village chief at the moment, dividing their labor to sort out the information on the investigation of the formation. Tao Xianxian didn't expect that it was just in the kung fu of a meal. The village chief raised several problems in the village, saying that he had some headaches, but fortunately, he didn't need to solve them, who boasted about Haikou, who would solve them, he only needed to record these and return to Xilu and hand them over to He Xing.
At this time, Tao Xianzhang was holding the rune decomposition diagram in the formation and comparing it with the book "Complete Solution of Formation Runes" that he had brought with him when he came. Until late at night, there was no progress in the crowd, and there was no mention of such runes in the books. Compared with the complete book, Tao Xianzhang had nothing to do, so he picked up another copy of "The Disappearing Ancient Runes" to read.
The content of this book is novel and rare, all of them are currently lost formation runes, and when he saw the auxiliary class teleportation chapter, Tao Xianzhang suddenly found that the runes on this were very similar to the runes on the field formation. Finding this, he called the other two to compare them. The runes in the formation in the field were broken down into twenty-four single runes, and only nineteen of these twenty-four runes were found in this ancient rune. Most of their functions are used to support the teleportation space, and some are to extend the teleportation distance and expand the teleportation space to increase the teleportation capacity, while the five undocumented are not known to have their role.
With this discovery, the three of them were extremely excited, but at the same time a little worried. This seems to be the teleportation formation of ancient times, but where does the other end extend? The three of them hurriedly recorded these discoveries, and then fell asleep.
In the early morning of the next day, the three of them came early to bid farewell to the village chief, only saying that there had been new discoveries in the exploration of the formation, and the villagers were assured that cracking the formation was just around the corner. The village chief led the villagers to send the three away, and in a corner not far away, Bian Lu kept watching all this.
