Fourth, the lock element formation
Bai Xue flew all the way, and it took about two hours to arrive at the Midnight Inn.
The so-called Midnight Inn is actually four or five small houses piled up of stones connected to each other, lurking in the green snake of the Xiaoliang Mountain Range in Anhui City, which can never be seen without looking carefully, which is also to avoid the government.
The owner of the Midnight Inn is a Five Tiger Martial Arts named Bai Chop, and he is also a master of the front row in the positive and negative factions of Anhui City, and he was also a thug who mixed in the Midnight Inn in his early years, but later married the daughter of the previous inn and inherited the inn, and he didn't do it himself, but did some inn business, that is, he got the tasks issued by the above and handed them over to the martial arts cultivators who came to the inn to perform, and they were all murder and interception business.
The reason why it is called Midnight Inn is because it is closed during the day and does business at night, and when Bai Xue flew to the inn, Bai Shu had already sent away the people who were still staying to pick up the work, and greeted Xiao Er to close.
A little two-eyed saw Bai Xue, and grabbed it for Bai Chop, and Bai Chop was not surprised to take down the creed skillfully, and they often sent and received some underworld tasks like this.
"Pisces Jade Pei, Qin Yuan, people rushed to Wancheng in Longquan to take the martial arts test, this is valuable news, I want to make a good profit. Bai Chu said happily, he didn't have time to think about who delivered the news.
Hurriedly asked Xiao Er to use their unique channels to spread the news that the inn had a Pisces jade pendant, and suddenly the warriors on the underworld in Anhui City rushed to the Midnight Inn, originally reluctant to be killed, Mei San and Mei Si no longer looked for their young lady everywhere and got up to find a place to hide, and disappeared in Anhui City like the world evaporated, these people are worried about not knowing where to find the whereabouts of Pisces Jade Pendant.
In the end, Bai Slash sold the news to a group of people for twenty silver ingots, compared to getting the reward of Pisces Jade Pendant, it was still a very cost-effective thing to spend twenty silver ingots, so the target of everyone also changed from Mei San and Mei Si to Qin Yuan and others.
It's just that Qin Yuan and the others themselves are still in the dark.
The three of them did not stop at the post station for long, packed their luggage and continued to rush towards Wancheng.
"Ahh Xiao Yu sneezed inexplicably.
"Wood, why do I have a sense of foreboding?" Xiao Yu said strangely, rubbing his nose with his index finger.
"I don't know, I didn't provoke you, huh?" Shen Mu heard her say this, and felt his neck shrink, for fear that this ghostly and clever girl would frame him again.
"What kind of foreboding can there be, we have already passed Longquan and then reached Wancheng in half the way to Pomiao Village in front, don't think about hurrying away. Qin Yuan looked at them and said.
"Oh. Xiao Yu muttered, slowly following the two of them.
The three of them walked to the village of the broken temple, found a farmer and asked for a few bowls of hot boiled water, and after eating the dry food, they continued to hurry, and after walking for a long time, they went out of the village, and arrived at the foot of a small barren mountain, at the foot of the mountain there is an old mountain temple that looks very dilapidated from a distance, and it seems that the name of the village is also derived from this.
"Brother Qin, let's go to the broken temple for a lunch break, maybe I didn't sleep well last night, this will be too sleepy. Yu Xiaoyu looked at the broken temple and stretched his waist with a lazy face, like a little lazy cat in the afternoon sun.
Qin Yuan couldn't bear to say anything when he looked at her pitiful appearance, so he nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's go rest for an hour, and we'll go on our way. Shen Mu answered on the side.
"Got it, smelly wood. Xiao Yu jumped and ran towards the dilapidated mountain temple.
As soon as they entered the mountain temple, they found that the inside was even more dilapidated than the outside, the colorful paint on the wooden statue in the center had long been mottled, and even the carved facial features had lost their original outline, and the desk in front of the statue was also broken, and it was a mess everywhere.
It's just that although the desk is dilapidated, there is a bronze incense burner on it, with three pillars of incense, cigarette smoke curling, and a strange fragrance emanating from this small temple.
Qin Yuan looked at the incense burner for a while, it is said that looking at the dilapidated mountain temple, it should be that he lost his believers in the early years, and it is impossible for someone to offer incense when the incense is broken, and how can there be anyone who only offers incense and does not put tribute, thinking about this, he quickly pulled Xiao Yu and Shen Mu.
"Be careful, there's something strange in this temple, let's go out first. ”
Just when Qin Yuan pulled the two of them to leave, the two dilapidated ancient doors in the temple suddenly became windless and automatic, and they closed with a bang.
When the three of them were shocked, a gloomy voice suddenly came from the beam above the small temple, "You dolls are still quite alert, but it's too late to run now, hehe......."
With an evil laugh, a figure jumped down from the beam of the room, a shriveled old man dressed in a cyan Taoist robe, with a particularly long chin, and a pair of eyes looking at Qin Yuan and them.
The old man dressed as a Taoist priest looked at the three of them, and said in a dry and dumb voice: "It seems that Master Zhu and I didn't arrange in vain this afternoon, you are Qin Yuan and the others, right?"
Qin Yuan was very puzzled, he didn't know this ugly old Taoist priest at all, and he didn't understand why he knew that he and the others were going to pass through this place and still knew his name, and he still came to trouble himself when he heard this unfriendly tone.
Yu Xiaoyu didn't think so much about why, and took the lead in asking: "You ugly Taoist, what do you want to do pretending to be a ghost, you'd better explain it clearly, otherwise you won't be able to run away from your aunt's fat beating." ”
Yu Xiaoyu's sleepiness just now was completely wiped out by the old way in front of him, and he couldn't rest well when he thought about it, and a wave of anger arose from his belly for no reason, and he instantly changed from a lazy kitten to an angry little lion.
"Dao Ye, I am Zhu Wen Zhu Dao Chang, I am a formation mage in this Anhui City, today you bumped into the hands of this Dao Master, I don't want to harm your life, obediently hand over the Pisces Jade Pei in your hands Dao Ye will naturally let you go, otherwise you will suffer a lot!" Zhu Wen said with his pointed chin
As Zhu Wen himself said, he is a formation martial artist who is mixed with the underworld of Anhui City, and the formation is extremely esoteric and difficult to understand, so the formation mage is among the minority.
And this Zhu Wen is quite low-key, he only picks up some things like robbing goods and stealing documents at the Midnight Inn on weekdays, and he has never hurt people's lives when he committed the crime, so he is not on the list of wanted by the government, unlike Gou Buzhao who was recognized by Qin Yuan and others because he was wanted by the clerk.
"I see that your spirit is just a martial artist with the power of two tigers, how do you want us to look good, do you want to poke us to death with your long chin. Xiao Yu looked at Lao Dao and couldn't help but sneer, he really had never seen someone with such a long chin.
That Zhu Wen was ridiculed like this, and he was not annoyed, but said: "You doll has a sharp tongue and a sharp mouth, and Dao Ye is not in harmony with the general, and I will let you know that Dao Ye is not a chin." ”
After Zhu Wen finished speaking, he made a hand duel with his right hand, and said in his mouth: "Lock Yuan Array, open." ”
As soon as the words came out, Qin Yuan obviously felt that the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi around him had become much thinner, and there were very few people who could mobilize himself, and what was a martial artist, in fact, he used himself as a container to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and the more Yuan Qi he absorbed, the greater the power.
It seems that this so-called Lock Yuan Array can shield part of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the designated area, so that the opponent cannot mobilize the Yuan Qi to fight.
And the martial arts who have lost the vitality of heaven and earth have become no different from ordinary people, and they can only use some fists and kicks.
"Pretend to be a ghost and eat me with a whip. Yu Xiaoyu didn't think about it so much and pulled his braids towards Zhu Wen.
Qin Yuan knew the mystery and wanted to call back Yu Xiaoyu, but it was too late, Yu Xiaoyu himself began to find out some clues, this vitality was no longer as abundant as before, and he could absorb and squander it casually, but became thinner, and his body strength was not as good as before, and even the realm was suppressed, and he could only send out the power of a tiger.
Yu Xiaoyu was taken aback and was too late to withdraw the attack, so he had to send the arrow on the string, and then he had to put on a long braid so that Zhu Wen's face could attack.
The long braid brought up a burst of breaking sound, and it was about to hit Zhu Wen, Zhu Wen didn't panic at all, his right hand pulled out a floating dust from the back, stretched out, just turned quickly, and just wrapped Yu Xiaoyu's long wind, Yu Xiaoyu saw this, and hurriedly tried to pull back the long whip with his right hand, but the long whip seemed to be pressed under Qianjun, and there was still Yu Xiaoyu who didn't pull and didn't shake in the slightest.
"Let go!"
Qin Yuan was anxious in his eyes, knowing that Yu Xiaoyu was going to suffer, and Shen Mu was also about to come forward to rescue him with a short knife, but Zhu Wen was willing to give them this opportunity, and before Yu Xiaoyu had time to let go, he saw that he pulled back the dust with his right hand like a fishing rod, Yu Xiaoyu only felt that he was being dragged away by a huge force like Zhu Wen.
"Wood, Brother Qin......" Poor Xiao Yu exclaimed in the air in fright, Qin Yuan stepped forward quickly, but how could he catch up.
Zhu Wen pulled Xiaoyu over and didn't think much about it, his left hand condensed into a palm with surging vitality and hit Xiaoyu's right shoulder, Zhu Wen deliberately avoided the vital point, otherwise this palm hit the chest, Yu Xiaoyu's life was really worried.
Rao is so Yu Xiaoyu, who does not have enough vitality to protect himself, is not much better after being hit by this palm, the whole person is like a kite with a broken string flying upside down, and Shen Mu, who originally attacked Zhu Wen, also quickly changed his identity and just caught the injured Yu Xiaoyu.
"Xiaoyu, are you okay?", Shen Mu held Yu Xiaoyu steady while taking out a healing pill from her waist purse and giving it to Yu Xiaoyu.
"I'm fine, let me go. It was the first time for Yu Xiaoyu to be so affectionately hugged by a man, and there was a flush under his ears.
Only then did Shen Mu realize that his actions were a little rude, so he hurriedly let go of Yu Xiaoyu's waist, helped Yu Xiaoyu to sit down slowly, and crossed his knees to recuperate.
"This wood is suddenly a lot more handsome!", Yu Xiaoyu thought secretly while healing.
Qin Yuan saw that Yu Xiaoyu was okay before he put his mind at ease, turned his eyes and stared at Zhu Wen, thinking that he couldn't absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi for his own use, why was this Zhu Wen not affected by the formation at all and could use the Yuan Qi with ease, even if he was a formation person, he should be just like them and unable to use the Yuan Qi?
