Chapter 30: The Man Who Wrote the Book
Later, a formation master came up with a method, and after deduction, he inscribed a kind of enhanced formation that he had slightly changed on an ordinary stone pillar, and added an obsidian that was not uncommon in the Nine Abyss Continent in the middle of the stone pillar.
This obsidian doesn't do anything else, except that it glows in different colors depending on the aura it comes into contact with.
And the beauty of this array pillar lies in this, as long as someone directly touches the array pillar fused with obsidian with their hands, the latter will generate a trace of suction, automatically intercepting a trace of aura in that person's body, thus emitting different bright lights to generate warnings.
Whether it is an ordinary person, a cultivator, or a demon clan, it is clear at a glance, and this pillar of array has also quickly spread among the major sects and some relatively large human cities because of the huge benefits it brings.
That is, the kind of stone pillar that Liu Pingsan passed through Qingrui City before and the soldiers guarding the city let him touch.
Therefore, those cultivators stationed in the ordinary human race city were on the one hand to protect the inhabitants of the city, and on the other hand, to monitor whether there were any demon clans mixed in, and then to transmit messages to other sects.

Since that day, he said goodbye to his master Yuan Zhen Dao and went down the mountain to find Liu Pingsan.
The little Taoist priest Xuanyi went directly to the bamboo building, that is, the place where he and his master sent Liu Pingsan last time, and it stands to reason that Liu Pingsan should still stay there.
But when he practiced footwork all the way and galloped, it only took half a month to arrive at the bamboo building, but he found that the building had already been empty, and it seemed that there was no one living in it for about a month or two.
This made Xuan Yi embarrassed for a while, he didn't have that ability, he could know where Liu Pingsan had gone, plus he was not deep in the world and had no experience in the rivers and lakes, so he was a little overwhelmed for a while.
After thinking about it for a long time, the little Taoist priest Xuanyi decided to stay in the bamboo building first, wait for a while, and then see if Liu Pingsan would come back.
I saw Xuan Yi pointing lightly at the door of the bamboo building, and the door lock didn't move at all.
This made him a little surprised, so he used his divine sense to investigate, and then laughed dumbly, and said to himself: "It seems that it is really as the master said, Liu Pingsan can really use that exercise to cultivate." ”
Then, without seeing Xuanyi's movements, the door lock fell directly and was caught by him.
After entering the bamboo building, Xuan Yi went straight to Liu Pingsan's room, brushed away the dust accumulated in the house with his hands, and settled down.
After more than a month like this, after thinking about it for a long time, Xuan Yi finally decided to leave this place first and find someone, but that person was not Liu Pingsan, who had not returned for a long time.
It's a little girl, or rather, a little beggar.
Xuan Yi took out a book from his cuff, smiled, and muttered, "Little beggar, I don't know if you continue to write this book?"
The book is nameless, and the author is unknown, with a total of more than 200,000 words, and it is not finished.
The manuscript was written on pieces of waste paper found out of nowhere, and the person who wrote the book strung it together in order with a few pieces of twine.
Later, after the person who wrote the book sent the book to Xuanyi, Xuanyi personally wrote it down, and according to the original author's intentions, he named the book - "Floating Dust Dream".
Now, Xuanyi is going to find the person who wrote the book and ask her for the follow-up to the book.
————
Two years ago, when Xuanyi was only twelve years old, Master Yuanzhen took him to Wuhua Mountain to pick a 500-year-old snow lingzhi, passing through a human city on the way.
In order to avoid trouble, the master and apprentice did not enter the city, but stayed overnight in a broken earth temple outside the city.
But what they didn't expect was that the earth-breaking temple already had an owner.
It was winter, the days were short, and by the time the master and apprentice reached the ruined temple, the sky was already getting dark.
And not long after they entered, a "snowman" appeared outside the door.
The reason why she is said to be a snowman is because the person is covered with snowflakes, and his face is black, and he has long been unable to see his original appearance.
I saw that she was really short and thin, with a felt hat on her head that she had picked up out of nowhere, and a tattered cloth bag hanging from her waist, and from the small hole in the broken bag, half of the dried and thin radish was exposed.
Obviously, this is a little beggar.
When the little beggar saw a few rows of footprints at the door of her "home," she knew that an uninvited guest must have come to her.
Maybe it's the two scoundrels in the east of the city, hmph! Usually it's okay to rob me to eat and drink, but I didn't expect to rob even where I live now, so it's a big deal to fight with them!
Then, I saw her put down the cloth bag around her waist, picked up a big stone from the temple gate, and quietly walked in.
After the little beggar took a few steps into the land temple, he squatted behind the broken gate, carefully observing the situation inside through the crack in the door.
Because it was getting late, she could only vaguely see that there seemed to be two figures in the ruined temple, one of which was still facing away from her, and it was not very far from the door.
She thought in her heart, two people, it seems that it must be them!
That's easy, first use a stone to dry turn the one near the door, and then go to the other one, give them some color, or else I'll really be a vegetarian!
Then, she grasped the stone in her hand, rushed out of the door, picked up the stone, and smashed it on the figure's head.
But when she opened her eyes, she was stunned in place.
I saw that the person who was hit on the head by her with a stone, like no one else, swept the broken stone slag on his head with his hand, turned around and looked at himself helplessly.
In fact, Xuan Yi was really depressed at this moment, and he was really at a loss for what happened suddenly in front of him.
Because of the master's presence, he didn't open his divine sense to probe the situation around him at all, but concentrated on meditation and cultivation, who would have thought that right under the master's nose, he could still suffer such a catastrophe?
But that's all, when he turned his head to look at Yuan Zhen, he found that the old man was looking at him with a gloating expression.
Deliberately! Absolutely on purpose!
Of course, for a cultivator, an ordinary person's stone is just like tickling, and this person doesn't have much energy.
But Xuanyi is really aggrieved, who did he recruit and provoke?
So he stood up, looked at the other with a look of resentment, and was about to speak.
As a result, when the man saw him get up, he quickly retreated, and said with a slight tremor in his voice: "You, don't come here, my mother said, I don't do bad things in my life, and I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, besides, isn't this a land temple? Although it is dilapidated, it is ......."
"Stop!" Xuan Yi interrupted the other party directly, he didn't have time to continue listening to her nonsense.
"Girl, I want to clarify two things with you, first, I really am not a ghost, you can rest assured of this, as for the one behind me, I don't know; second, I have no grievances with you, why did you hurt me just now?"
"How do you know I'm a female ......" The little beggar replied directly without intention, then covered his mouth with his hand, and quickly denied it.
"You're talking nonsense! I'm a boy, you're a girl!"
"Isn't that the point?" Xuanyi really didn't know what to say, it was the first time he had seen someone with such a clear brain circuit.
"You're really not a ghost?" The little beggar asked tentatively.
"What do you say?"
"Then, you were stoned by me just now, why is there nothing wrong with it?"
"Can I say I've got a hard head?" said Xuanyi angrily, pulling the corners of his mouth.
As if he had thought of something, the little beggar suddenly screamed and said excitedly, "I know! You must be cultivators, those immortals who can fly around, right? It must be, it must be!"
Xuan Yi turned his head and glanced at his master, and saw that the latter frowned at him, and didn't say anything, so he knew that there should be nothing to say, so he replied: "Fortunately, I'm not an ordinary person, otherwise you wouldn't have to ask for half my life with this stone?"
When the little beggar heard this, he scratched his head embarrassedly, and said in a cowardly tone: "I'm sorry, I thought you were those two villains in the east of the city." ”
