Chapter 498: Something Strange
Day 11. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoNohara Forest, Mt. Hoba.
This mountain is very close to the border between Qingye and the two countries. Originally, the mountain was full of red maples, but in autumn it was a fiery red, hence the name Fire Leaf. But since the maple leaf turned into a veritable fire leaf a while ago, the mountain has become bald.
That fire was no ordinary fire. Not only were the trees destroyed, but even the roots and grass seeds that were hidden in the ground were burned out. Now that the fire has been extinguished, the mountain is still bare, with only a few strange rocks scattered on the mountain.
Dou Po and Liu Ling stood beside these strange stones.
If you count it carefully, there are actually five pieces. Although the shape is irregular, they are all long boulders. There are four pieces arranged vertically together, and one piece is slightly diagonally to the side. Among the four vertical bars, the second stone on the right in the diagonal row is particularly long, twice as long as the remaining three.
The stone seems to have been cut out, and this arrangement is also deliberately done. Seeing this, Dou Po knew that she had finally found it.
I have been looking for more than ten days to break the thirty-five key points that Li Yunxin laid in the vast wilderness forest. This last place was the most hidden, and it took four days and four nights to travel more than ten miles in a radius. Now that she saw it, Dou Po walked slowly around it in the early morning sun, stretched out her hand and rubbed it, while carefully observing the flow of spiritual power in the meantime.
After half an hour, he stopped and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes. She reached out and rubbed the corner of her forehead. After being silent for a while, he said with emotion, "This Li Yunxin is also a genius. ”
She'd said this more than once—almost every time she broke a key formation, she would feel so emotional. According to her, not to mention that these knots so delicately spanned thousands of miles and guided the flow of spiritual power between each other. The other point alone - many of the techniques that seem to be not serious ways of drawing the Dao, but have been explored and tested by himself - is enough to show that if this son has enough time and opportunity, he will definitely become a great master of this way.
But she didn't know that Li Yunxin was not willing to "grope and tempt"—that was because he really had nothing to learn. After all, the formation laid out in Weicheng is a small formation, and there is previous experience to follow. But with such a large formation, it seems that no one has ever tried it a second time except for painting saints. Quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and many of the old empirical principles are no longer applicable, so we have to try boldly on our own.
And the reason why Dou Po was so emotional this time was because of this-while she broke Li Yunxin's formation, she also learned a lot of essences that she couldn't imagine before. That...... I knew that this one was the last one at the moment, and I regretted it in my heart.
In fact, if she wants more, then she will also understand more.
Therefore, when facing this formation, Dou Po did not make a move easily as usual. Instead, take a hard look at it first, and then ...... Frowning slightly.
Because I feel that these five stones seem to be a little special and familiar.
It seems like a trick.
She made sure again and again, and then she tried to figure out the trick with her hands—a trick she had never seen before. Fingering is a fist in the hand. Then he poked his middle finger out -- these five boulders, exactly what they looked like.
She was a little confused. After thinking about it for a quarter of an hour, it still didn't work.
But this is not the first time this has happened. So far, she has seen a total of seven formations that she doesn't know what to call formations, and this one is the eighth.
Some are two short and one long, arranged like a shanked comb with only two teeth, some are also three long stones, one flat and two vertically at either end, and some are still three, arranged in a similar way to the second. It's just that the opening in the second place is facing the sky, and the opening in the third place is facing the right. Not to mention that some of them are like a "Ya" character, some are like a round "mouth" character, and so on......
But Dou Po doesn't think that these possessions are indeed "unknown to the so-called". She thinks that there must be subtleties in it, but she can't see Li Yunxin discuss them one by one.
It's also a big pity.
But regret is regret, but things have to be done.
She held her breath and contemplated, using the spiritual power in her body, intending to destroy this last formation. At this point, the aura in the original large array has accumulated in this array. Once destroyed, the terrifying spiritual power will be unleashed in a surge, causing unimaginable destruction. Therefore, she needs to be carefully guided to ensure that the two of them are safe.
A quarter of an hour later, Dou Po let out a low cry and slammed her palm at the boulder.
This palm is actually a ban. If the flow of qi in this formation is forbidden, the spiritual power will naturally be disordered. Once the disorder is not well guided, it will immediately cause the formation to collapse on its own. At that time, this radius of tens of miles will become a hell of flames, and the land that has been scorched by wildfire will usher in a second baptism of flames. Only this time, both earth and stone will turn into molten magma.
A palm landed on the boulder.
The boulder shattered in response to the sound - cobweb-like cracks spread all over the stone, and in a single breath, it became stone chips.
This stone is destroyed. He immediately felt that there was something wrong with the spiritual power in the formation—after two breaths, a low humming sound suddenly sounded in the surrounding land. Tiny gravel and smoke rose one after another, as if there was a huge ** in the ground.
Dou Po immediately took a step back, and while protecting Liu Ling behind her, she pinched a few fingers in a row, and sacrificed a layer of golden light prohibition.
She could have fled immediately, but she really wanted to see what a magnificent sight it was after such a large array was destroyed, which was rarely seen in the world—if she missed this time, she probably would not have seen it a second time in her life.
But......
Nothing happened.
The shaking from the ground continued for some time. Then calm down. The flying gravel dust fell back to the ground, and the spiritual power in the circle formed by the boulder also dissipated. Now they are the most ordinary stones again, and this place is once again the most ordinary barren mountain.
This key formation here has indeed been destroyed. However...... Just like all the tricks that were destroyed by Dou Po before, there was no terrible scene she expected.
Dou Po was stunned and frowned. She hesitated for a moment before daring to step forward again, cautiously reaching out and rubbing her hand against the boulder.
If it is confirmed, it is indeed ruined. But...... Is this what it looks like?
The thoughts raced through her head, and she quickly realized something.
This means...... This one is not the last. Right now, in the middle of this wilderness...... At least one more formation was in operation - and all the spiritual power was channeled there to create this situation!
"Strange. Dou Po glared and looked around. After watching for a few breaths, he suddenly said, "You wait here." Don't go anywhere. ”
Then it took off into the air and shot straight to the northwest.
She sensed that there was still spiritual power flowing in the northwest—a hundred and twenty miles away.
Her cultivation is not low, and she has the magic weapon of the sky. Therefore, it took only half an hour to cross the distance of one hundred and twenty miles. But the closer I got there, the more doubts I became.
It's clearly the eye that he destroyed seven days ago!
When she got to the sky, all her doubts were gone—exactly.
She destroyed this place seven days ago, and now ...... It's back again!
There was nothing unusual about the array here. It is staggered with the breath of gold and wood, and a golden valley is built. Thinking about it, Li Yunxin also felt relaxed when he arranged it at that time - there was already gold fire in the underground. He only put a piece of white jade and a piece of ebony on it, and it became a circle. With the help of the geographical advantage, there is no need to lose too much cultivation aura.
It's easy for Dou Po to break this formation—it's just to remove the floating soil and disrupt the flow of spiritual power, and then collect the white jade and ebony.
But when she looked down now, she saw a jar of wine that had been thrown all over the ground in a mess. Some are already empty, some are half-empty. There were also several bonfires beside the jar, all of which had been burned out, but the wood was still half-exposed in the ash heap.
Looks...... It looked like someone was passing by.
She's seen people these days, too.
The wild forest was once extremely rich, but there were many dark beasts in the forest, and ordinary people did not dare to enter. The exchanges between Qingye and the two countries had to take a detour -- it would take two or three times as much effort.
But now that the forest has burned down, a natural passage has been created. A few days earlier, I had encountered a few daring caravans - as if they were trying to open a new route here to transport some of the specialties of the two countries.
She has encountered a lot, but she has not encountered it...... In this incomparably vast space, almost the size of three state capitals, there are naturally more.
And the situation here is that the underground gold is full of fire. Passing caravans should have camped here, built bonfires, drank wine, and then threw them away. But it was also lucky--casually throwing it in such a way that it coincided with the direction of the five elements. After all, this place used to be a magic circle, and it was easier to gather spiritual energy than elsewhere.
Wait until these people are gone...... What they inadvertently left behind, they actually built another array of eyes by mistake!
Knowing that this was the case, Dou Po breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of thing is rare, but it is not uncommon. What objects have been unintentionally placed in many secular worlds...... Maybe if you are not careful, you will also be in a formation due to the earth's qi. Or call the head of the family a lot of bad luck, or call the head of the house rich and glorious - this is what people in the market often call "feng shui".
In this case, it was destroyed again. It's a pity that in the next grand scene, Liu Ling didn't have an eye.
After thinking about it like this, Dou Po re-sacrificed the prohibition of protecting the body and made the final blow.
However, just as she slapped her palm, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
If it's a caravan carrying wine...... How could she have drunk the wine that was supposed to be sold, and threw it away? She had been walking in the world for a long time, so she knew that for the wine merchants, the cost of the wine jar was also very expensive.
If it weren't for a caravan carrying wine...... Who would bring so much wine with them when they were on business? Aren't they afraid of drinking and making mistakes!?
The thought flashed through her, and her palm slammed down. The unrivaled palm momentum stirred up the wind, and instantly overturned those altars, jars, embers, and remnants.
However......
Dou Po's heart sank.
The expected outburst of spiritual power also did not materialize.
