In the north of the North Sea, in the depths of the ocean, a small island with a radius of more than ten miles hangs alone.

This place is called Tuxing Mountain, and the reason why it is called a mountain but not an island is because there is a spiritual vein spring that can be called a pseudo-blessed land, and there are side peak-level mountains in the sea, which are exposed on the water.

Although Tu Xingshan is located in a remote area, it is also near the route, and such a spiritual vein spring is naturally inseparable from the people who occupy it.

The master of this generation of Tu Xingshan is a famous array master named Lin Ji, who is also active in the area of Beixiao Island, and has close ties with various forces in the money society.

Li Zhen's initial contact with the formation path circle was in the context of transforming the Yuesha Island and Jiuwan Island that he occupied, and he had some contact with the formation monks who participated in the transformation, but those large arrays were basically finished products, and after receiving the commission, the array masters who came to transform them only took a look around.

It wasn't until the renovation of Xiaolan Island that the Money Society invited a respected senior of the Formation Dao, Master Hong, that he was finally able to stimulate Li Zhen's interest in this Dao, and he really learned about it seriously.

It was also through this Formation Dao predecessor that Li Zhen got acquainted with several foundation building monks who were also Formation Dao Formation Masters, and the most popular among them was this Lin Ji.

When Li Zhen came to the sky above Tuxing Mountain, he found that this place had been shrouded in a layer of white mist like a veil of clouds, the sky and the sea in the distance were colorful, Miao Miao was vast, and the clouds and mist were shrouded in the near distance, like thick smoke.

At first glance, the visibility of the entire island is extremely low, and when you get closer, you can even feel the wind blocking it like a solid wall.

This is the power of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, Li Zhen descended, and immediately heard a voice with a smile: "Li Daoyou, you are here, I have formed a four-elephant derivative hybrid array here, are you interested in challenging it?"

"Oh, the Four Elephants Derivative Mixed Yuan Array, no wonder Lin Daoyou specially invited us to come here for a party, it turned out that he had attainments in the path and had grown in. Li Zhen said.

Lin Ji laughed and admitted calmly: "It's true, I have had occasional gains recently, and I finally completely grasped the essence of this big array. ”

Li Zhen said: "Okay, you wait for me to go in and have a look." ”

He felt it outside, didn't notice any dangerous aura, and immediately understood that this was a formation that was mainly aimed at restricting the enemy.

The array is broad and profound, and it is also a very well-founded existence.

Since Li Zhen was not a member of the formation, he did not have a detailed understanding of this, but in his view, the formation path was mostly developed from civil engineering, which was deeply related to the residence of the monks, and later developed to everything related to the prohibition of the Dao pattern, and even the talisman array on the talisman was handed over.

The array of the path can be divided into large arrays, small arrays, and micro arrays according to the scale, and according to the use, it can be divided into various categories, such as maze arrays, phantom arrays, trapped arrays, killing arrays, and sealing arrays.

What you see in front of you, a radius of more than ten miles, can already be called a medium-sized large array, there is a wind hovering above it, shrouded in mist, and the ground below is cloudy, covering the divine sense, as soon as you step into it, there is immediately a sense of depression that ordinary people enter the cramped cave, and the ears and eyes are not clear.

Li Zhen felt that his divine sense had been blinded at once, and his perception ability that could extend beyond the radius was greatly affected, and he could only see with his eyes and listen with his ears as if he had never embarked on the path of cultivation in the past.

However, even the eyes and ears were affected by the fog that lingered around them, and the four fields, which were supposed to be empty and clear, could only be seen for more than ten zhang.

Li Zhen first tried to walk in a straight line, and he ran all the way at a very fast speed, without encountering any practical obstacles, but soon found that he had climbed over the slopes, the mounds, and the bushes one after another, and there was no end in sight.

In just a few moments, the distance he traveled was already more than ten miles away, which definitely should not be the size of the island.

Sure enough, it is a classic trap array function, with the perceptual interference of the phantom array, and most of the ghosts hitting the wall in folklore come from this.

However, Li Zhen can be sure that his thinking ability and perception ability are not affected by the inside, and are not directly disturbed by the flow of sneaky and evil things, but by the external reference objects, as well as the audio-visual experience formed by clouds, fog, light, and other factors.

It's like a fish in a clear stream, which looks very close, but is actually deeper, and the light will be distorted when it enters the water.

Lin Ji's voice came from the air: "Hahahaha, Li Daoyou, you are doing so much in place, it is impossible to get out of this alone." ”

"Indeed, light and sound are distorted here?"

Li Zhen didn't care about the direction of the sound, but he calmed down, and used the magic incense to urge the soul rejuvenation incense, and spread it evenly around.

Suddenly, the incense spreads and spreads at an astonishing speed.

In Li's sense of smell, these smells spread in a very strange way, and what should have been a uniform circle was transformed into a mutated magnetic field with four poles.

The air flow presents a curvilinear state and is distributed in a fluid shape.

"Even the propagation of the air currents is distorted?"

Fortunately, the degree of distortion was far less than expected, because Lin Ji was not too familiar with the incense path, and he never thought that someone would be able to fight against this level of distortion with such a keen sense.

For ordinary people, even if they use ordinary methods to smell and find their way, they are as blinded as seeing with their eyes and hearing with their ears, but for Li Zhen, this perception ability has reached the level of extraordinary supernatural powers, so it doesn't matter.

He quickly positioned two points in the formation, found a true straight path, and walked all the way out.

"Hey, you actually walked out so quickly, is there a big flaw in my formation?" Lin Ji exclaimed.

"Lin Daoyou, it's not that there is a big flaw in your formation, but that I have outstanding perception and a unique method. Li Zhen laughed.

"Can you tell Lin what the method is?" Lin Ji humbly asked.

Li Zhen told the truth: "It's the smell, and there is no interference function for the smell and airflow in your formation, so I came out with the method of smelling." ”

He is not afraid that the other party will use this to target him, this is like a mortal, everyone understands that the other party's heart and neck are weaknesses, so they must be able to attack.

What's more, Li Zhen has other things to rely on.

"I see. Lin Ji suddenly realized, "In the formation path, the ability to interfere with smell is not common, after all, ordinary people have a limited sense of smell, and it is difficult to do anything through this means." ”

Li Zhen said: "That's true, ordinary people's perception, about eighty percent comes from vision, and about one percent comes from hearing, these two together can almost deal with most situations, and in addition to the sense of smell, touch, and taste, it is difficult to use it in cracking the formation." ”

Lin Ji said: "Confusing the public, these four words are the key to the maze and the phantom array, it seems that the Taoist friend is indeed talented, and he can replace the ability to see and hear with the sense of smell." ”

He really didn't accept it, and it was impossible for an ordinary formation master to transform his magic array specifically for this situation, after all, the formation path laws moved the whole body and changed the deployment, and the overall function was very different.

And there is a cost to the array, taking care of this will inevitably lose the other, there are masters who can transform at will, you can optimize the structure, improve the whole, that is also within the scope of the conditions, unless it is a real powerful master, beyond the laws of heaven and earth, in order to truly break this limitation, so that the large array grows like a tree without roots.

Even so, it was the ability of a powerful master, not the ability of the formation path.

Li Zhen comforted: "I haven't really cracked your formation. ”

He just walked out, and didn't find where Lin Ji's true body was, which should be in the array.

Sure enough, Lin Ji laughed and said, "I'll hide in the eyes of the array." ”

As he spoke, the surrounding scene changed suddenly, and the fog that had originally lingered around him no longer interfered with his divine sense, and the thick Gangyuan and Earth Evil were all converged, and the entire island was suddenly cleared.

Li Zhen still didn't see it directly, but he sensed Lin Ji's location with his divine sense, and it was actually near Baizhang!

He soon flew over, and saw Lin Jipan sitting on an earthen platform with several huge boulders, scattered around with some dead trees, strange stones, and earthen platforms, which seemed faintly mysterious, but it was unpredictable.

Lin Ji was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties and forties, but in fact he was already more than three hundred years old, and he was also middle-aged among the foundation building monks.

Because he built the foundation when he was young, even if he has not taken Zhuyan Dan, he still maintains his youthful appearance.

When he saw Li Zhen coming, he stretched out his hand and flicked it, and a whirlwind swept over the boulder in front of him.

"Li Daoyou, please. ”

Li Zhen landed on it and sat down.

The two exchanged pleasantries, exchanged some recent experiences with each other, and talked about the things of the formation, and then Li Ji knew that Lin Ji had really grown recently, and deliberately took the opportunity of the party to find these acquaintances of the Taoist friends to show off.

However, a foundation-building monk like him is just an old naughty child, taking the opportunity to ask others to publicize and promote, so as to find some cultivation resources.

Half a day later, in the distant sky, three qi machines approached.

Li Zhen saw the other party's figure clearly from a distance: "It's Master Hong and a few of them." ”

He knew that three of them were Array Dao Masters, two Formation Masters who were slightly inferior, and three Dan Dao Monks, Instrument Dao Monks, and Le Dao Monks from the vicinity, all of whom had rushed here.

"Lin Xiaoyou, you have put down a big array, can you test me......?

"Hey, it's actually a four-elephant derivative hybrid array!"

The voices of Master Hong and a few others sounded outside, and then Li Zhen saw that a group of people fell into the formation, each using their own skills to calculate and crack it.

Lin Ji laughed and said: "Senior Hong is really knowledgeable, yes, this is indeed the Four Elephants Derivative Mixed Yuan Array, and watch me move the prohibition and promote change!"

At this time, Li Zhen found out that Lin Ji was far from showing his effect before.

I saw him wave his sleeves and sweep it, and his mana flew into the formation like a ghostly light.

The four pillars of light stood up in the south, south, west, and north, submerging into the sky, steep and distorted light and shadow, and the huge light curtain of yin and yang was projected at the four corners.

They were the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu Elephant, each guarding the Quartet.

But unlike the four elephant beasts in Li Zhen's impression, their phantoms actually reversed the order, with the green dragon in the west, the white tiger in the east, the Xuanwu in the south, and the Vermilion Bird in the north.

In an instant, I saw the green dragon slowly moving to the southwest corner, and the other elephants also deflected their positions.

The people who entered the formation were like carrier pigeons that had lost the magnetic induction of the earth, and they couldn't even use the magic power of knowing time and earth.

Master Hong took out a palm-sized pocket compass from his bag, held it on his forearm, and muttered something, as if he was also puzzled by the chaotic geomagnetism and light and shadow, and several other non-array monks were even more dragged by inexplicable power, like headless flies spinning around.

Fortunately, Lin Ji had no intention of playing with them, and after a while, he inexplicably turned over the small hill in front of him and came to Lin Ji and Li Zhen's place.

When they saw them, several people were surprised: "We actually came out." ”

"Shhh Lin Ji said narrowly.

He's competing with his peers.

Everyone laughed, so they flew up, and while saluting each other with Li Zhen, they watched their fighting.

It took half an hour, and Master Hong, who had been spinning around in the formation for a long time, pinched his fingers and draws, and finally his body shook, and he looked up to the sky and smiled: "There is! I understand!"

Then follow a bizarre spiral route towards this side.

After a long time of deduction and calculation, he finally found the law of change of various prohibitions in this array, and was no longer disturbed by it, although the route he took was a little longer, but with the continuous shrinking of the spiral, he finally walked smoothly into the eye of the array.

Everyone sighed: "Jiang is really still old and spicy." ”

Soon after, Master Jin also found a pattern, using a zigzag route, sometimes close and sometimes far away.

Master Wang stretched out his sleeves and sacrificed a few stone-like magic weapons, which fell around, forming a prohibition that interfered with the operation of the large array.

He wanted to crack it by seizing the Heaven and Earth Elemental Qi.

However, this didn't seem to be of much use, as Lin Ji changed slightly, changing the layout of the formation and the passage of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi Rotation, the two of them were still trapped in place, unable to enter.

In the end, both of them could only shake their heads and smile bitterly, and successively said loudly: "Lin Daoyou's methods are clever, and we can't crack the formation." ”

Lin Ji laughed, and finally removed the nearby ban and let them in.

Li Zhen watched them greet each other, greeting each other, and smiling secretly in his heart, but he also understood that this was a way to get together with reckless cultivators.

There is no such thing as emotional intelligence or emotional intelligence, scattered cultivation is more inertial and willful, and those who keep in touch are also friends with similar interests.

Obviously, among the several array masters present, Master Hong was the most clever, followed by Lin Ji, then Master Jin, who was also trying to crack through technical means, and finally Master Wang, who wanted to forcibly fight.

As for the people who were put in, the formation realm attainments were not at the same level at all.
