Chapter 396: Guarding the Mountain
Lin Yan followed the young disciple towards the entrance of the mountain.
Although Lin Yan lowered his head, his spare eyes were still observing the environment of the inner gate of Wudang, although he saw very little.
After a while, the two of them came to a place that looked similar to the one next to them, but when Lin Yan came here, he felt a fluctuation of spirit stones.
It was almost the same as Lin Yan guessed, and the intersection of the road to the top of Wudang Mountain was indeed covered by the formation.
Lin Yan looked at this formation, he just looked at it briefly, and knew that this formation was definitely a very advanced formation.
If he was in an environment where he was not disturbed by the outside world, Lin Yan was confident that he would be able to crack it within an hour.
But in the process of cracking this formation, I am afraid that I will not be able to distract myself to deal with some external factors.
If someone disturbs you, although it is not a big deal, the process of reasoning the formation will have to start all over again.
This kind of formation is not like some simple formations, the array eyes are all fixed somewhere, this kind of advanced magic array, as long as there are enough spirit stones to support its operation, the array eyes are changing.
The young disciple took out a talisman from his bosom and said to Lin Yan with a smile: "Senior Brother Renzhi is no longer in the inner gate now, he may not have this kind of talisman anymore, so he didn't give it to you, this talisman can play a role in entering our mountain guarding array, if there is no such talisman, you will not be able to go up to the top of the mountain." ”
Lin Yan showed a curious look and asked, "Is this kind of talisman possessed by every inner disciple?"
The young disciple shook his head, "No, after all, the master also said that every time you go from the mountain guarding array to the top of the mountain through this talisman, you also need to consume some spiritual energy, unless you use its strong internal force as a guide, which can avoid consuming spiritual stones." It's just that with our kind of cultivation, I'm afraid that if you want to rely on internal strength, it's a little too reluctant, so in our inner door, there are also some disciples who don't have this kind of talisman, and the rest are basically one or two people who bring one or two for emergency use. ”
Lin Yan asked a little reluctantly, "Then I used your talisman this time, will it have any effect on you?"
The young man waved his hand and said in an atmospheric manner, "It's okay, I'm looking back to ask my master, the spirit stones in our mountain guarding array are very important, but this kind of talisman is nothing." To put it simply, it's like igniting a fire, the spirit stone is like firewood, used as fuel for burning, and the talisman in my hand is like something used to ignite before ignition, and this kind of thing is basically easy to get. ”
Lin Yan nodded, there was an expression of sudden realization on his face, but what he was thinking in his heart was this Wudang Sect's mountain guarding array!
He can actually use his own internal force to replace the energy provided by the spirit stone, it seems that this formation is even more advanced than he imagined!
Spirit stones, in ancient times, were actually everywhere, and the aura between heaven and earth at that time was very rich, which also led to the fact that the great power cultivation in ancient times was generally very high, and even the strength of some spirit beasts and fierce beasts was extremely high.
At that time, it was almost full of spirit stones.
But in this era, the intensity of the aura is too low, which also leads to the fact that the spirit stone has now become a relatively scarce material.
But fortunately, in this era, there are very few people who know the formation, and they don't need so many spirit stones, and they can still maintain a delicate balance for the time being.
Of course, compared with the previous formation, the current formation is not half a star.
In the past extremely powerful ancient period, basically everyone could arrange some simple formations at will, if it was those masters who specialized in studying formations, the formations they arranged, whether it was the degree of subtlety or the quality of the spirit stones, were basically far higher than the level that appeared.
As long as they spend time arranging it, it basically has the power to destroy the world, and it can last for thousands of years!
But now these high-level formations that some major sects are proud of, when they were put back then, although they were not arranged by everyone, for some formation masters, it was just a few hours of effort.
But now this kind of formation has become a sign of whether a sect is strong or weak.
For the masters who know how to arrange arrays in the rivers and lakes now, those spirit stones with high quality over the years are basically one less piece, and compared with the spirit stones everywhere in ancient times, it is inevitable that the methods of the arrayers are unfamiliar.
Lin Yan found that he was probably underestimating the mountain-guarding magic array of this Wudang Mountain just now.
In this era, it is the rarest to have a formation like the Wudang Sect Guarding the Mountain Great Array, which converts internal force into the power of spirit stones.
Now on the rivers and lakes, first, there is a lack of spirit stones, and secondly, many of the techniques and inheritances of the formation have been lost, so there are very few masters who know how to arrange the formation.
If Lin Yan is given enough spirit stones, he can also have great attainments in the formation by cultivating according to the formation recorded in the I Ching scroll.
Lin Yan looked at the young disciple and asked, "Then how much spiritual power will I consume when I go up the mountain this time?"
The disciple smiled and said: "Don't worry, fellow Daoists, our mountain guarding array is based on the cultivation of those who enter and exit, and those with low strength like ours basically have no effect." If they are masters like the head elders, if they don't use their own internal strength, they will consume a lot. Senior Brother Rendao knows these things, and I guess he asked you to come because of some considerations. ”
Speaking of this, the young disciple also smiled kindly at Lin Yan, "I don't feel the slightest internal force in you, you have just come to our sect not long ago, as long as you work hard to cultivate, you will definitely have some achievements in the future." ”
Lin Yan nodded, his expression did not change, and he replied with a slight smile, "Then borrow the auspicious words of senior brother." ”
But deep in Lin Yan's heart, he was already secretly smiling bitterly.
He is not an outer disciple who has not started to cultivate in the past few days, as a second realm of entering the Dao, and he also has the two top mental methods of Tai Chi and Poison Sutra, how deep his internal strength is, Lin Yan estimates that it will not be much worse than some elders of the Wudang Sect!
Lin Yan smiled and pretended to be casual and asked, "If the elders want to come down from the top of the mountain on weekdays, do they also need this kind of talisman?"
The young disciple replied, "I don't know if the elders come down from the mountain, but every time they come back to the top from here, they still need this talisman. ”
