Volume 1: Bright Light Out of the East Chapter 35: The Hidden Array
Luo Liangqiu, who is down-to-earth again, is no longer in the mood to take a walk.
He thought about the matter of the Xuanlun Secret Realm, and walked towards the tall buildings in the center of the city.
After entering the high-rise building, Luo Liangqiu went upstairs directly and ran to the top floor, because the formation of Shaking Light City was on the top floor.
Although he took a look at the formation yesterday, it was only a few glances, and it was impossible to understand the reason directly.
But he saw some clues, something different.
Today, when he learned about the matter of the Golden Zen Sect, he thought about coming to study this strange formation.
The number of high floors is very high, there are thirty floors, so when Luo Liangqiu climbed to the top floor, it was already dark in front of him, and he was out of breath.
When his eyesight had recovered and his breath had calmed down, he looked towards the formation.
I saw a pillar of blue light like a bright galaxy, dotted with stars.
That little bit of starlight was reflected in a person's eyes.
The man's eyes were dark, his body was so thin, skinny, and the clothes worn by ordinary disciples were like wide robes on him, as if they were about to fall off at any time, which made his already thin body even more thin.
At this time, the man was squatting next to the formation, biting his nails, indulging in the starlight, looking thoughtful.
When Luo Liangqiu saw him, he remembered that he was the tuberculosis ghost who sat next to his right hand yesterday, and it seemed that his name was Chen Yi.
As he thought so, the sick seedling named Chen Yi coughed, as if he was about to cough out his lungs, and it lasted for a while.
It was precisely because of this cough that Chen Yi came to his senses and found the white-clothed young man standing at the top of the stairs.
There was no emotion in his eyes, and he didn't salute, he just simply said hello to Senior Brother Luo, and then turned his gaze to the blue light again.
Luo Liangqiu walked over and sat cross-legged in front of the blue light, but he was far away from Chen Yi, because he felt that Chen Yi might really be tuberculosis at this time, and he didn't want to be infected.
After removing the distractions in his heart, Luo Liangqiu watched this formation intently, and time passed little by little.
The location of the starlight of that formation, and the changes it traveled, were all remembered by Luo Liangqiu in his eyes.
When Luo Liangqiu looked at it again to make sure that he was not mistaken, he stretched out a palm.
He used his mana, only to see that the mana gathered in the palm of his hand, and then soared into the sky, forming a blue pillar of light, which looked no different from the blue pillar of light of the formation in front of him, but one large and one small.
Then Luo Liangqiu stretched out the index finger of his other hand and dotted it on the blue pillar of light in the palm of his hand, and every point would light up a little starlight.
However, after a while, the starlight on the blue pillar of light in Luo Liangqiu's palm was exactly the same as that reflected in the formation, and even the trajectory of the star trajectory was the same.
He was simulating the formation of Shaking Light City.
This is not the end, and then Luo Liangqiu paused the flowing starlight in his hand, while he twisted the starlight statue and moved beside it.
It looks simple, but it's hard to do.
Even with Luo Liangqiu's ability, as long as he was a little careless, then this painstaking and painstaking construction of the simulation formation would break and dissipate, and it would fall short.
Finally, Luo Liangqiu's patience was exhausted, and the formation in his hand had reached the point where there was nothing to move, and the starlight was a mess, and it could collapse at any time.
A sense of irritability surged out of Luo Liangqiu's heart, and the more he looked at the formation in his hand, the more unpleasant it became, and it could even be said that he was impotent and furious, wanting to wave his hand to sweep this formation away.
At this time, a weak voice came from behind him: "You are also studying the formation of Shaking Light City?"
Luo Liangqiu was so frightened that cold sweat flowed down, he turned his head slightly, only to see a haggard and miserable white face on his shoulder, so frightened that Luo Liangqiu screamed, turned around and fell to the ground.
So he held the hand of the formation upward, as if it was handed to the face.
When Luo Liangqiu was frightened, he looked carefully, and found that the person was the sick ghost Chen Yi, and he didn't know when he ran behind him, but he didn't notice it when he was engrossed.
Chen Yi didn't seem to care about Luo Liangqiu's performance when he saw him as if he was seeing a ghost, but leaned over and looked at the simulated formation in Luo Liangqiu's hand.
His shriveled lips moved slightly, and he only heard him say, "Wonderful, wonderful." Then Chen Yi looked at Luo Liangqiu, "Senior Brother Luo has also discovered the clues of this formation of Shaking Light City?"
Luo Liangqiu felt that he was making too much fuss, people in his cultivation were actually scared like this, even if he was really a ghost, what could he do? So he felt that he had lost face, but fortunately, Chen Yi didn't seem to notice his state of affairs, and instead talked about another topic.
There are steps under Luo Liangqiu naturally want to go down, so he coughed lightly, cleared his throat, sat up, and said to Chen Yi: "That's right." Could it be that Senior Brother Chen is also interested in this Shaking Light City's formation?"
Chen Yi smiled rarely, his miserable white face was not as penetrating as he imagined, but he had some juvenile vitality, which had something to do with his natural good-looking.
I heard him say, "Exactly." However, Senior Brother, I don't have Senior Brother Luo's strong mana to be able to create a simulated formation that can be manipulated at will, so I have been deducing it in my brain, because I have some energy, and I haven't made much progress after sitting for a day. ”
"But I see that although Senior Brother Luo has some ideas, it seems that there are some errors and deviations when applying them to the formation, and the number of paths I think is not the same as that of Senior Brother, so the decomposition failed. ”
Hearing the meaning of this, Chen Yi seemed to be full of confidence, as long as he could be allowed to do what he thought, then he would definitely succeed.
Luo Liangqiu really didn't care at all when he said such unashamed words, because when he heard Chen Yi say the word "decomposition", he knew that the person in front of him was not simple.
I saw Luo Liangqiu raise his eyebrows and ask, "Oh? Senior Brother Chen seems to have really seen some doorways. ”
Chen Yi looked at the simulated formation in Luo Liangqiu's hand and was about to move, and he almost wanted to get started, but he was still restrained by him.
So he grabbed his right hand with his left hand and his left hand with his right hand at this time, and after holding back his argument, he listened to Luo Liangqiu's words, and thought about proving himself first.
I only heard Chen Yi say: "Can you still deceive Senior Brother Luo?" The formation of Shaking Light City, at first glance, the direction of the formation and the layout of the starlight are integrated, and it seems that there is nothing special. But as long as you are patient and observe carefully, you will find that the formation pattern and the starlight are intertwined, simply put, the two formations are combined...... No, to be precise, there should be one formation nested within another, hidden from being discovered. ”
Chen Yi paused, looked at Luo Liangqiu and said, "And what Senior Brother Luo just did was to separate this nested formation from it through the simulation formation, but unfortunately one wrong step was wrong." ”
Luo Liangqiu looked at Chen Yi and confirmed that this sick ghost boy with dark circles under his eyes was by no means an idle person, and he really did not decompose this formation, in an attitude of humbly seeking advice, Luo Liangqiu didn't care about this, so he asked, "Then according to Senior Brother Chen's opinion, what should I do?"
Chen Yi looked out the window and found that night had fallen, and the red moon had just appeared.
So he pointed to the blue pillar of light and said, "Look at this first." ”
As he spoke, he saw that the blue pillar of light suddenly seeped out a trace of blood-red light from top to bottom, like a writhing red line, the number of which was so large and the speed was so fast that all the blue pillars of light were dyed red in an instant, turning into a red pillar of light.
The strange blood red color was reflected on the faces of the two, Chen Yizhi didn't feel anything, but Luo Liangqiu looked like he had never seen the world, and his mouth grew in shock.
Although he came to see the formation yesterday, unfortunately he didn't see this scene.
Coincidentally, after he left, Chen Yi came over and happened to see this scene.
Chen Yi said flatly: "I've been thinking about what the energy source touched by the Shaking Light City Formation is, and what is the principle that can enable it to open and protect Shaking Light City when the red moon rises at night. ”
"When I came here yesterday, I saw such a vision arise, combined with the above situation, I wondered if the source of the energy of this formation was the strange red moon in the Xuanlun Secret Realm? This assumption basically solved my two questions. ”
Chen Yi paused and continued: "But through studying the formations, I found that there seem to be some formations that gather the aura of mountains and rivers, so there is a second hypothesis, could it be that the red moon is the guide, the formation is triggered, and then through these formations to absorb the aura of mountains and rivers, so as to provide a steady stream of protection for Shaking Light City?"
Then I disproved the second hypothesis. After Chen Yi finished saying this, he looked at Luo Liangqiu, "Because I found that when the formation was triggered, these formations did not move at all, and they were not activated at all as I imagined." ”
So at present, the first hypothesis is the most reasonable, and there is nothing that can overturn this theory at present, so there is the current inference, that is, the nesting of formations, in order to facilitate the distinction, I will distinguish these two nameless formations by their own names. ”
"When the red moon rises, the formation that is automatically triggered is called the 'Red Moon Array', and the formation that has no movement and is nested in the Red Moon Array is called the 'Hidden Array'. ”
Luo Liangqiu watched Chen Yi obsessively stare at the simulated formation in the palm of his hand, and his opinions were clear and logical.
Thinking that Chen Yi seemed to have been thinking about it for more time than himself, and he was full of confidence, if he cooperated with him, he would definitely be able to speed up the decomposition of the formation, so Luo Liangqiu smiled and said, "Senior Brother Chen is really smart. ”
Chen Yi didn't feel any joy when he heard these words of praise, but he still replied: "Indeed." ”
The smile on Luo Liangqiu's face froze, and when he heard Chen Yi's humble words, he didn't know what to say for a while.
However, he admired the sick ghost named Chen Yi in front of him even more, after all, there are not many people in this world who can make his tongue knotted, so he didn't want to say those beautiful words, and said bluntly: "Then Senior Brother Chen is willing to cooperate with me?"
As he spoke, he shook the simulation formation on the palm of his hand, and said to Chen Yi in the swaying blue pillar of light: "From the current point of view, Senior Brother Chen, your opinion, coupled with the simulation formation I constructed, the combination of the two will definitely be successful." ”
Chen Yi said when he heard this: "Even if I don't cooperate with you, Senior Brother Luo, I can decompose this hidden array, it's just a matter of time." ”
Luo Liangqiu took a breath and asked, "What about ......?"
Chen Yi continued: "But I'm very curious about this hidden array, and it's naturally good to hurry up. ”
Luo Liangqiu spit out that breath, smiled, and said, "Please." ”
Chen Yi naturally knew what Luo Liangqiu meant by please, his face rarely showed joy, and then he saluted Luo Liangqiu with a fist and said, "Thank you." ”
The two geniuses began to decompose the hidden array.
Chen Yi first returned Luo Liangqiu's messy starlight to its original state.
During this period, Luo Liangqiu was dumbfounded.
When Chen Yi dialed the starlight, the steadiness of his hand made him dumbfounded, it can be said that he is familiar with the road, and then thinking of what Chen Yi said before to build a formation simulation in his mind, Luo Liangqiu looked at Chen Yi even more.
When restoring the formation, the two discussed every bit of starlight and trajectory, and after Chen Yi restored the formation, both of them felt that their understanding and perception of this formation had reached a higher level.
After that, Chen Yi asked Luo Liangqiu to simulate the situation when the red moon rose and the red moon array was launched.
So Luo Liangqiu used his mana to trigger this simulated red moon array on the palm of his hand, and Chen Yi took the opportunity to write down all the formations that were not triggered, Luo Liangqiu felt dizzy when he looked at the complexity, but Chen Yi became more and more excited, as if he had forgotten to cough.
Time passed little by little, and Shen Liuyue also came to the high-rise building to look for Luo Liangqiu, but after coming up, she found that these two men seemed to be enchanted, and they turned a blind eye to everything except the pillar of light in the palm of their hand.
So Shen Liuyue quietly retreated, for fear of disturbing the two who were concentrating.
It was late at night.
Suddenly a shout came from the quiet thirtieth floor: "It's a success!"
Luo Liangqiu's face was overjoyed when he heard Chen Yi's voice, and he saw that Chen Yi was already shaking happily, like crazy.
About three hours ago.
After Chen Yi remembered all the hidden array patterns, he asked Luo Liangqiu to stop the operation of the Red Moon Array, and at the same time, he did what Luo Liangqiu had done before.
That is to perform the formation decomposition.
However, compared to Luo Liangqiu's disorganized and disorganized eventually, which finally made the entire starlight cluster almost collapse, he was obviously much more professional.
Three times five divided by two, the red moon array was dismantled, after all, these steps were all gone through in his mind, and it was naturally very fast.
But then comes the difficulty.
Because of physical reasons, simulating such a complex formation in his brain still needs to make it work, and then change it, it is already unexpected that Chen Yi's energy can do this step.
So when these considered steps are completed, you can only take one step at a time.
The two of them continued to discuss and communicate, citing other formations that were similar to them for comparison, and in the midst of danger, they broke down the Red Moon Array and the Hidden Array.
I saw Luo Liangqiu scatter the scattered starlight that originated from the Red Moon Array.
In the blue pillar of light, the formation pattern loomed.
Above the ethereal formation, seven points of starlight lit up.
The seven points of starlight formed a spoon shape.
The handle of the spoon pointed to the east, and the last point of starlight was obviously much brighter than the other six points, and it was exceptionally bright.
This is the hidden array.
Before Luo Liangqiu could laugh, Chen Yi next to him was overjoyed, and coughed violently, unable to stop.
Luo Liangqiu hurriedly helped him stroke his back smoothly, and with this touch, he could feel Chen Yi's backbone.
Chen Yi coughed for a quarter of an hour, and when he took down the hand covering his mouth, Luo Liangqiu found the blood stains on his palm.
Luo Liangqiu was worried and a little puzzled, so he asked, "Senior Brother Chen, ...... your body?"
Chen Yi straightened up, stabilized his breath, then wiped the blood on his lips, and said after a moment of silence: "I was gouged out of the stomach of a dead man." ”
Luo Liangqiu was stunned when he heard this.
"That is, before I was born, my mother died. ”
"At that time, it was the Great War between Northern Qi and Southern Shang, Li Zhenren...... It's Li Shouzuo, your master found that I still had a breath in the grave of 10,000 people, and rescued me. ”
"But in the grave of 10,000 people, the resentment is soaring, and the evil aura lingers, and the reason why I didn't die was because I was breathed by the turbidity in it, so although I was rescued by Li Zhenren, I was also full of evil and couldn't afford to get sick. ”
As he spoke, he sighed and muttered, "You have embarked on the path of cultivation in order to ascend to heaven and earth, move mountains and seas, seek the Great Dao, and attain immortality...... And I'm just hanging on to this half of my life to survive in this world. ”
Northern Qi and Southern Shang......
Luo Liangqiu was silent after hearing this.
Chen Yi is not a hypocritical person, obviously recalling some bad pasts, and it is not interesting to study the current hidden array, so he looked at Luo Liangqiu and said, "Senior Brother Luo, hurry up and run this hidden array." Let me see what the use of this hidden formation nested in the Red Moon Array is and why it is so secretive. ”
Luo Liangqiu seemed to be thinking about something, and when he heard Chen Yi's words, he didn't react immediately, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid not." ”
Chen Yi frowned, a little puzzled, and asked, "Why?"
Luo Liangqiu didn't rush to explain, but asked rhetorically: "Senior Brother Chen, think about it, I didn't see the opening of the Red Moon Array yesterday, so how did I know that the Hidden Array was nested in the Red Moon Array?"
Before Chen Yi could think about it, Luo Liangqiu then asked and answered himself, saying, "Because I can see at a glance that some formations are broken. ”
"If the formation is broken, that is the broken pattern. The broken lines are more difficult for people to see, because the formation patterns will also have intermittent places, and if they are disguised, it will be difficult for people to distinguish. ”
"Senior Brother Chen saw the Red Moon Array first, and then found that the formation pattern of the Hidden Array was not triggered, so he discovered that the Hidden Array was nested in the Red Moon Array. This is preconceived, and naturally ignores that the formation pattern of the hidden array is actually a broken pattern. ”
"And I found the broken lines first, and then I saw that the Red Moon Array was normal and integrated, and then I thought it was strange. ”
Chen Yi was a little surprised, he clenched his fists and said: "Senior Brother Luo has good eyesight, such a cumbersome and esoteric formation, like this, under the condition of covering it up, was actually seen by Senior Brother Luo at a glance, which really makes Senior Brother admire." ”
Luo Liangqiu is a person who likes to be "self-humble", although he couldn't bear to laugh, but at this time his face was full of smiles, I saw him wave his hand and say: "Luck, luck~"
Chen Yi didn't look at Luo Liangqiu, who got carried away, but looked at the hidden array that had been stripped out of his palm, that is, the seven starlight, and couldn't help frowning.
He said to Luo Liangqiu: "Senior Brother Luo, since this formation is a broken pattern, wouldn't we have worked hard in vain?"
When Luo Liangqiu heard Chen Yi's words, his emotions did not fluctuate, he still had that smug look, patted Chen Yi's shoulder, and said to him: "Don't worry, senior brother, my overall ability is still in the past, and the secret of the hidden array will definitely be solved, it's just a matter of time." ”
He paused, then continued, "So we only need to do one thing now. ”
Chen Yi asked, "What?"
Luo Liangqiu smiled and said, "One word......"
And so on. ”
