Chapter Eighty-Seven: Ice and Fire Show Might II
After coming out of the tent of the master of the Honku, I walked alone towards my lodgings. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe night was already very deep, but the disciples of the various sects did not dare to sleep, and there were still many people in the position who were patrolling back and forth with torches, for fear that the fish-headed monster would attack.
The result of the deliberations came out, and Master Benkong, the head of Tianyi, and many other masters had agreed to join forces with the Immortal Hall. Although this result is a bit risky, it always leaves us with one less trouble in our hearts, and we don't have to worry about both. However, some people will inevitably oppose the matter of joining forces, and there are seven people who oppose joining forces, especially Fan Chunyang and Guan Shuhui, who are even more opposed, saying that the Immortal Hall is already at the end of the strong crossbow, and there is no food and grass maintenance and no reinforcements later, and joining forces will only give it a respite, and even they proposed in public to attack the Immortal Hall immediately to completely eliminate future troubles. It's just that their opposition was denied by the rest of the sect heads, and the two sides argued for a long time, but they never made up their minds. Eventually, Master Honkong proposed a vote on whether or not to join forces with the Immortal Hall, which ended the dispute, otherwise I really don't know how long I would have to stay in Honkong Master's tent.
There are huge flaws in the alliance of the Seven Great Sects, and there will always be arguments when things happen, and this meeting is almost against each other, if there is no master of the sky and the sky to form a long pressure formation, I don't know what will happen. In just a few days, I have experienced this situation several times, and I have to say, it is a real headache. It may be that in the eyes of the Master of Benkong, it is more prudent to listen to the opinions of many parties, after all, every decision they make is related to the life and death of thousands of disciples. But it seems to me that this kind of alliance has merit in a short period of time, and after a long time, even if the people who come to it are decent and righteous, it is inevitable that there will be disagreements.
Let's end the trip early, I thought silently.
The competition between the Seven Great Sects and the Immortal Hall is now equivalent to sealing the sword and hanging the sword, and it would be great to be able to join forces to get out of this place without blood. It's just that I'm always worried in my heart, the alliance of the seven major sects is still weak, so what will the alliance with the Immortal Hall look like? Among the seven major sects, there are still Fan Chunyang, Guan Shuhui and others who are resolutely opposed, is there no such person in the Immortal Hall? And once the alliance is reached, the Immortal Hall will have a respite, which is also equivalent to raising a tiger for trouble, once the Immortal Hall walks out of this place, it will still be a big trouble for the Seven Great Sects, and Master Benkong and Tianyi must have thought of this.
I shook my head, reluctant to think about it any further.
When passing by the Qingcheng faction's position, I walked towards the tent of Youyun Villa, I had been struggling to deal with the fish-headed monster for the past few days, and I didn't know what Han Xiao's injuries were.
In front of the tent in Youyun Villa, the coachman named Zhu was guarding the door of the tent, and when he saw me coming, he hurriedly bent down to me and said with a smile: "Gu Shaoxia, are you here?"
Since the battle in the valley, the attitude of several coachmen in the Cloud Villa has changed a lot towards me, and they are much more respectful than before. Receiving his gift, I was proud in my heart, and I also hugged him, and said, "Brother Han is in the tent?"
Zhu Zi smiled bitterly: "I am resting in the tent, the fish-headed monster has disturbed everyone's hearts in the past few days, and Brother Han has not closed his eyes for a few nights, and he has not been asleep for a long time." ”
"That's right. ”
I was a little interested, and said, "Then I won't bother him and take my leave." ”
I turned around and was just about to leave, when the pillar suddenly stopped me and said, "Gu Shaoxia, Master Primitive, are they really going to join forces with the Immortal Hall?"
The news spread really fast, we had just come out of the tent of the master of the airspace, and it was less than a meal before and after, and the news of joining forces had already spread. I said, "Master Benkong and Tianyi have this intention. ”
Zhu Zi said: "We are now gaining momentum, what are we going to do with them, wouldn't it be nice to kill them directly?"
I smiled and said, "Master Benkong has his own plans, so I'm leaving." ”
This sentence is a bit perfunctory. Saying this, I can't think of any other plans in my heart, whether it is Fang Jing or Master Benkong, their minds are not something I can figure out after all, and all I can do is try not to cause uneasiness in everyone's hearts.
Leaving the tent in Youyun Villa, I walked to the edge of the Qingcheng faction's position, and beyond that was the foot of the mountain where I lived. Just as he was about to climb the mountain, he saw that the Fireheart Daoist also walked over from the Qingcheng faction's position, followed by Ziyan and Zihan, two Kunlun sect disciples.
I hurriedly hugged him and said, "Senior Gu Tian, meet the senior of Huoxin." ”
Huoxin Daoist was dressed in a green robe, holding a wooden box in his left hand, and Ziyan and Zihan behind him were holding several wooden poles in their arms, and red rags were tied to the wooden poles. I couldn't help but be curious, but the Fireheart Daoist smiled and said, "Why hasn't Gu Shaoxia gone to bed yet?"
I said, "I'm about to go back, senior, where are you going?"
The Fireheart Daoist laughed and said, "The old man has roughly prepared some guys who are in formation, and I want to go to the mouth of the valley to have a look." ”
I was taken aback and said, "Seniors still think that there is a formation at the mouth of that valley?"
Huoxin said: "Exactly, the old man thought about it for a long time, and always thought that there must be a reason why those fish-headed monsters couldn't rush out of the valley, and he really didn't want to sleep if he didn't go to check, hehe." ”
I said, "But the fish-headed monster in the valley is haunting, and it can also come out at night to make trouble, and the predecessors are afraid that it will not be appropriate to go like this." ”
At first, we didn't think the fish-headed monsters would dare to come out at night, but after a battle in the waterhole and the Kongtong faction's position, we didn't think so. Those fish-headed monsters behave strangely, and we can deal with them when they appear in the pool, but the cold ones can come out of the ground, and they are not caught off guard at all. Although the rotting corpses of the Immortal Hall forced them back this time, and they didn't move for a day, it was hard to guarantee that they didn't move, maybe they were still digging caves underground.
Huoxin said: "There's nothing to worry about, the old man just checked at the mouth of the valley, measured and estimated, it won't take long." ”
Shenlong Cave is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the height is more than 1,000 zhang, and only a valley mouth in the south remains. Speaking of which, the hill where I live is next to the high mountain at the mouth of the valley, but the mountain is more than a thousand feet, and the hill where I live is really inconspicuous compared to it, and it is not a small hill at all.
I thought about it for a while and said, "The juniors should go with the seniors, so that they can take care of it." ”
After saying this, I regretted it, with the martial arts of the Fire Heart Dao people, there are still others to take care of it, if something really happens, I don't know who will take care of whom. It's just that these words seem to have been said smoothly for a long time, and they came out of their mouths unconsciously.
Thinking of this, I only felt that my face was slightly hot, but fortunately it was night, and the people of the Fire Heart Dao couldn't see my face clearly. However, the Fireheart Daoist didn't take it seriously at all, nodded and said, "It's okay, it's always good to be careful." ”
※※※
Skirting the hill where I lived, we walked along a rough and muddy mountain path towards Taniguchi Cliff. The night was very quiet. This place is already out of the range of our position, but there are still a few groups of Wudang Sect disciples patrolling back and forth, they are cautious, and they do not light torches, like night wanderers in the dark night. Even when they saw that it was the Fireheart Dao people coming, they didn't make any sound, and just bowed to us from a distance. I said, "Senior, those fish-headed monsters can't rush out of the valley, is it really related to the formation?"
The Fireheart Daoist looked ahead, and now we have walked not far to the left side of the valley mouth, standing here and looking, the valley seems to be surrounded by a thousand zhang wall, and the two peaks at the valley mouth are even higher and can climb the sky, like two huge fangs that stand upside down. Huoxin Dao said: "Actually, the old man doesn't know much about this matter, most of the formations recorded in our classics are aimed at people, trapping the enemy in the formation, so that they can't get out." These fish-headed monsters are also desperate to get out, and this part of the valley is very similar to the formation. ”
I said, "If it's really a formation, it's also an amazing formation, right?"
When he was in the tent of the master of the void, the Fire Heart Dao people once said that there was a small formation in the Western Regions Barbarian Territory to trap Gu worms, and that kind of formation was at most the size of a water tank, and this valley was so big that it was thousands of acres wide, if it was really as the Fire Heart Dao people guessed, then this formation was indeed very remarkable.
I don't know why, but I shuddered. If it is really a formation, then what kind of person can have such ability to lay down this formation?
Huoxin Dao said: "All this can't be conclusive, in addition to the formation that can trap the Gu worms, there are also other reasons that can trap the Gu worms. When Master Zu traveled to the far north, he had seen a strange refining spar, and the strange spar siege formation also had the effect of trapping Gu worms. It's just that that kind of spar is really rare, and the ancestor spent a lot of energy to find a palm-sized spar, and finally used gold and iron as the main material to create my Kunlun faction's chaotic clock. ”
I don't know why he suddenly talked about the Mixed Sky Bell, but the Mixed Sky Clock has existed since the Kunlun Sect was founded, and it was thousands of years ago. The Fireheart Daoist said: "In any case, there must be a reason why those fish-headed monsters can't rush out of the valley, if it is really related to the formation ore, maybe we can use it to resist the fish-headed monsters." ”
Indeed, if we can find something at the mouth of the valley, it will be beneficial to us anyway. Maybe we can find the kind of hedron that can trap the fish-headed monster, and then we will have a lot to rely on.
I didn't say anything more, and after a short walk along the trail, we came to the foot of the peak on the left side of the valley mouth. In a hidden grove at the foot of the mountain, more than a dozen disciples of the Shaolin Temple were closely monitoring Taniguchi. This is also specially ordered by the master of the original space, and the disciples of the seven major sects take turns to guard this place and monitor.
The small forest where they hid was still not a short distance from the valley mouth, about seventy or eighty zhang, as soon as they saw us coming, these dozen or so disciples of the Shaolin Temple hurriedly saluted us. One person lowered his voice and said, "The younger generation is fate, I met the Huoxin Daoist, and I have seen Gu Shaoxia." ”
This person is also a scholar, just like the dust, the fireheart Taoist shook his head and said, "What is the movement in the valley?"
Yuan said: "Returning to the fire heart seniors, there is no movement, and I don't see the screams of those monsters all night." When he said this, he seemed to think of something, and said, "Senior, you are ...... this."
The Fireheart Daoist looked up at the Qianzhang Mountain in front of us and said, "It's nothing, just come and see." Ziyan Zihan, lay out the formation pole. ”
Ziyan and Zihan behind us responded at the same time and began to stick the wooden poles in their arms into the ground one by one. It had just rained and the ground was still wet, so it was easy for them to stick a wooden pole in the ground.
After a while, the two of them stuck all the injured wooden poles on the ground, and when they looked again, they saw that the wooden poles were inserted into the ground and arranged in two different circles, which at first glance looked like two shrunken fences.
