Chapter 335: Prohibition
Cheng Ling's face was gloomy, and everyone instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
Qinghuang took two steps forward and asked, "Cheng Ling, how is it?
After being silent for a long time, Cheng Ling said: "We have entered a Lost Trace Formation, this formation is of a very high grade, and even I can't see the slightest clue. ”
Everyone was shocked, and Zhong Changsheng asked, "What should we do then?"
"I don't know, I can't find the node of the formation, if you want to crack it, it's very difficult!"
Evil Wind's face also changed, and he interjected and asked, "Are you sure to break the formation, how much time will it take?"
"I don't know, I can only do my best, you don't have to follow me, everyone look carefully, maybe you can find other ways out. ”
Everyone's hearts sank, and they didn't know how long it would take to crack it?
In the thousand-year reincarnation period, there are only fifteen years left, and depending on the situation, they must still be in the Demon Blood Continent. But now there is no other way, even Cheng Ling can't find the way out, with their ability, how can they find the trace of the formation.
Cheng Ling didn't say more, the situation has already shown that how to choose depends on their own wishes.
Put away the array flag in his hand, and think quickly in his head. This place is the direction of the first formation flag, so to speak, in a month's time, almost a circle on the plain. The Lost Formation often requires some medium to make the people in the formation unable to distinguish the direction.
So what kind of medium is there in this formation? Looking up, the whole plain is endless, empty and empty, only overgrown with weeds on the ground.
His heart moved, weeds, plain area, nothing but weeds have been seen, then, the medium that causes confusion is only the weeds in front of him.
He stepped forward slowly, his eyes flashing, like mysterious silk threads. The plain in front of you is divided into blocks in the eyes. After watching it for a long time, I finally saw a clue.
Every once in a while, the weeds will have a lush patch that grows taller than the weeds in other locations. From a distance, it looks like there is a regular arrangement. But on the ground, it's hard to see.
The gravitational technique worked, and the figure slowly flew up. Gradually, the scene of the plain in front of me was exposed. Looking down from the air, he suddenly understood.
Those lush weeds, like a formation node, are connected together, and finally form a whole, which is the truth of the plain formation.
He breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he found a way, there was hope. Fall from the sky and rush to the first weeds.
The people behind him saw him fly to the sky for a while, and fall to the ground for a while. Now, walking towards a pile of weeds that can be seen everywhere, I can't see it all in a nutshell. But no one made a sound, for fear of disturbing his train of thought.
When he came to the weeds, he sat down cross-legged and stared at his eyes. Although he had already seen the method of arranging the formation, every node had to be carefully scrutinized. One of these weeds may be the trigger location of the node, and only by finding the key one among the thousands of weeds can the node be cracked.
This is no easy task. The master who set up the formation was far above him, so for two months, no trace of the formation was found, and it was not until now that he found it. This is a large-scale maze formation, and its main role is illusion. To crack such a formation, as long as there is a mistake in one node, it may lead to the reorganization of the entire formation and the overthrow.
Therefore, he did not dare to take it lightly, and he had to be 100% sure of every node before he dared to break the formation.
But as soon as he looked at the weeds, he secretly cried out in his heart. Each of these weeds is almost identical, and they are all linked by a special forbidden method
Together, it is easier said than done to find the right one among thousands of weeds.
Taking a deep breath, the exam questions are already known, and the rest can only step forward to face it by themselves. With blazing eyes, he just looked at the weeds in front of him motionless, and carefully deduced the prohibition in them.
Prohibition is one of the middle formation paths derived from heaven and earth. It is very useful, not only to assist in the formation setting, but also to increase its variation. It can also form an independent space in a small area, so that people can't find it, or even if they do, they can't enter it.
On the whole, it is divided into three categories: life and death, control, and assistance. The general prohibitions, most of which are auxiliary and control, just like what Cheng Ling mastered, the method of controlling Gonggong Hai, as well as the prohibition of arranging and cracking the formation, all belong to the first two categories.
There is only the prohibition of life and death, because it is extremely difficult to comprehend, and the power is huge, which is very helpful to the monk's combat power. Since ancient times, it has been intolerable by monks, and now, it has basically been broken.
But Cheng Ling cracked it for several hours, and gradually felt that the prohibition in the weeds was very different from what he was used to. This is where the first formation node is found, so even if you choose the wrong one, you can start over here without having to go back to the previous node.
Therefore, Cheng Ling dared to try boldly. But after many trials, he found that as long as there was a mistake in cracking it himself, those weeds would wither in an instant, thus losing their vitality and completely dissipating. After a few moments, it grows again, and the forbidden connection points change, and the original method is immediately invalidated.
Cheng Ling was confused, what kind of prohibition method is this, if you make a mistake, you have to start all over again, is it the legendary ban on life and death? Slowly closed her eyes, carefully recalled the previous situation, and finally was seventy percent sure, all of these weeds were forbidden to life and death!
This is a big deal, and the difficulty of estimating the location of the node has suddenly increased several times. He secretly hated in his heart, what kind of character was the master of the island formation, who was so profound, even the prohibition was so profound, could it be that he was the same as the old man Yuan Ling, he was a figure from the ancient era?
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a reason, so I could only regain my strength and concentrate my energy on the weeds in front of me again.
The people behind him saw that he had been staring at the weeds in front of him, motionless, like a statue. It's just that the expression on his face keeps changing, and in the end, it looks even more gloomy. is beating drums in his heart, I don't know if this time, he can break the formation again.
Liu Qingyan and Jian Yinghao glanced at each other, and they also saw Cheng Ling's condition. This kind of situation has only been seen in the Land of the Five Elements, when facing the spatial enchantment. From this point of view, the formation here should be extremely difficult.
Jian Yinghao said softly: "Senior Liu, looking at Brother Cheng's appearance, it is not something that can be cracked in a short period of time, what should we do?"
Liu Qingyan groaned slightly, and said, "Leave a few people here to protect the Dharma for him." The rest of the people scattered and searched together to see if they found anything else. Remember, don't go too far and mark along the way, so as not to get lost in the formation. ”
Jian Yinghao nodded, and was about to speak, Gu Youlan preemptively said, "Brother Jian, protect the Dharma for him here with me!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
“......”
Everyone automatically asked for help one by one, and they all planned to stay by Cheng Ling's side to protect the Fa for him.
Jian Yinghao smiled bitterly, he really didn't know how to choose. At the critical moment, Liu Qingyan said: "Don't fight, Gu Youlan, Wu Chenlong, Xiyan, Zhang Hu, the four of you will protect Cheng Ling first, and rotate on the first day of January to ensure that there can be no less than four people beside him!"
Jian Yinghao understands in seconds, the four of them all use swords, even if they are defeated by a single person, they can protect Cheng Ling if they form a four-elephant sword formation. He immediately put his mind at ease, and followed Liu Qingyan's meaning and took it
The rest of the people searched the plains.
Time passed slowly, and after ten days, Cheng Ling finally moved. After ten days of deduction, the location of the node was finally confirmed. The right hand is gently raised, swaying with the wind as the weeds move, and every movement is exactly the same as the direction of the grass swaying.
In this way, after the tea time, I don't know how many prohibitions were played, and finally pointed at one of the weeds. In an instant, the weeds in front of him seemed to fluctuate, and the calm grass was like a small stone thrown from the lake, and thousands of miscellaneous plants dissipated one after another, leaving only one of them.
He took a deep breath, stood up, and continued to walk forward, and everyone behind him followed.
After walking for more than ten miles, he came to the second weed, sat down cross-legged, and began to continue the deduction. Gu Youlan's four people still stopped at a distance of three zhang from him and were on guard.
The second weed, which took half a month to clear.
Third ...... It took twenty days.
Fourth ...... It took thirty days.
Everyone gradually began to get anxious, and with such a slow pace moving forward slowly, how much time would it take for the entire formation to be broken? You know, there are less than fifteen years left in the thousand-year period. But helplessly, although the rest of the people are extremely cultivated, they just don't understand the formation, and they can't help at all.
At this time, Jian Yinghao and the others had already turned around, and after two months of exploration, there was almost no discovery. As far as the eye can see, there are clumps of weeds everywhere, and every place is the same, and it's easy to get lost.
He immediately made a decision, gathered all the people who were scattered, and kept up with the ranks of the large army, and if there was one missing, he didn't know if he could get it back.
At the fifth node, the difficulty of banning is higher. Along the way, Cheng Ling finally understood that the arrangement of these weeds is the legendary forbidden life and death. It's just that every time you pass through the weeds, the difficulty of the ban will increase by one level, and the time to crack it will be slower.
When it comes to the fifth node in front of you, it is even more complicated, and every connection is yes or no. It looks like it, but when I look back, it doesn't seem to be. He didn't dare to do it easily, as long as he made a mistake, the nodes in the four places in front of him had to be recracked.
Gradually, his heart began to become irritable, and he lost his former steadyness. After sitting in front of the fifth weed for more than a month, I couldn't bear it anymore and decided to take a chance. His hands made mysterious handprints, and the lines in his eyes flickered, pointing to one of the weeds.
But soon, his face changed. The rest of the weeds did not disappear, but changed their form in an instant, and the direction of the nodes deduced before was even more confusing.
He hurriedly stood up and hurried back to the fourth node. I saw that the weeds there had regrown, and the one that had been deduced earlier was hidden in it again. His face became more and more gloomy, and he continued to look at the third and second nodes, and they were all the same.
Finally, come to the first place. The original weeds are becoming more and more luxuriant, and there is only one node left before, where can I still find it!
I couldn't vent the resentment in my chest, I couldn't help jumping up, pointed to the sky and scolded: "My damn grandma, which turtle grandson set up such a complicated formation, and has the ability to come out alone, if you don't kill Lao Tzu, you won't be surnamed Cheng!"
After scolding and scolding for a long time, there were really no words in his stomach, and "Bo" sat on the ground, snorting and panting.
Everyone behind him was petrified, and they watched him scolding at the sky. After the scolding was over, Xuanhu had the courage to ask, "Cheng Daoyou, how is it? Can you crack the formation?"
Cheng Ling was angry, and when he saw the tiger's head, he was even more angry, and scolded: ", Lao Tzu is not your nanny, you have the ability to break the formation by yourself!
