Chapter 18: Parting Ways
-- Tomorrow to make up for the sixth arrears of the first month
"City Lord Zhao, what's going on with this last formation? Isn't it supposed to be the wind formation in the earth, fire, feng shui?" Hu Xingwu had already recovered his injuries and recovered his true qi, and spoke suspiciously.
Zhao Jingding also had a solemn face, and said hesitantly: "If the old man is not mistaken, this array should be the upside-down four elephant array mentioned in the classics, it is formed by the integration of the four formations of earth, fire, feng shui, and it is the strongest formation of the immortal mansion here, far more than what flame array, red water and blood array, if it is not for the hundred-year trough, I am afraid that the Jindan Grandmaster will also fall in the meantime, it is rumored that when Guangyang Zhenren was alive, he used this array to kill three Yuanshen Zhenren." ”
"But why did the upside-down Four Elephant Array suddenly appear?" It was Shi Xuan who interjected, and the formation change often meant that something bad had happened in the Immortal Mansion, and if you didn't figure it out, it would be dangerous and abnormal to enter the Inner Mansion.
Seeing Shi Xuan open his eyes and ask, Zhao Jingding saluted politely: "Thank you Sun Daoyou for saving the little girl, the old man will be rewarded later." As for why there was an upside-down four-elephant array, the old man really didn't know, so many times before, the immortal mansion had been born, and this array had never appeared. ”
"Could it be that the formation center sensed some danger, so it increased the difficulty of the formation. Gao Xing also guessed suspiciously.
"How is it possible, the formation center has long been unpresiding, unless someone tries to control the formation center, or there is someone fighting near the formation center, and the danger level has reached Jindan. But now all the monks who have entered the mansion are either still trapped in the formation, or they have just come out of the formation, how can anyone go? Even if someone goes quickly, who is the strength of Jindan?" Zhao Jingding retorted disdainfully.
After discussing for a while, but he didn't find out the reason for the change in the formation, Zhao Jingding thought about it for a while and said, "Let's quickly recover our strength, and then go out of the formation, so as not to be preempted by the three major factions." ”
"Don't you wait for other Taoist friends?" Zhao Jinyu asked in surprise, but quickly reacted, and when everyone recovered their strength, the formation should have reached the state of **, and those who had not rushed over at that time would definitely not be able to come again.
Liang Qingqing hesitated for a moment before he spoke shyly: "I saw Liu Heng and Liu Daoyou fall, so I don't have to wait for him." ”
Oh, the crowd looked at her meaningfully, but said nothing.
There was silence as everyone hurried to regain their strength. Zhao Jinyu recovered quickly because of the lack of consumption in the later period, and then he felt that someone pulled the corner of his clothes, and when he opened his eyes, it was Lei Guangyao, and he motioned with his eyes to go to the side to talk.
Suspiciously, he walked over, Lei Guangyao cast a spell to block out his voice, and asked, "Senior sister, I was really worried about you just now." ”
Thinking of the danger before, Zhao Jinyu was still a little afraid: "I was really afraid of death at that time." ”
"Well, then, how did Sun Daoyou rescue you?" Lei Guangyao asked this question cautiously.
Zhao Jinyu blinked: "I don't know, I was so scared at the time, and when I came to my senses, I was already rescued by Sun Daoyou, and then the two of us worked together and rushed to the exit." Thinking of her stupid performance, Zhao Jinyu blushed with shame.
Working together, Lei Guangyao was a little unhappy in his heart, but he knew that his junior sister was in danger at that time, and there was no way, so he stretched out his hand and prepared to hold his junior sister's slender hand and comfort him.
But when Lei Guangyao's hand was about to touch his junior sister's little hand, he saw that his junior sister shrank her hand in a little panic, and at the same time looked around uneasily.
"Senior sister!" Lei Guangyao's tone contained dissatisfaction, shouldn't the girl lie on her sweetheart's chest at this time and let her sweetheart comfort her?
Zhao Jinyu came back to his senses, remembered his reaction just now, and frowned: "Father and senior brother are here, it's not good to be seen by them." ”
Didn't you say before that you wanted to confess the relationship to the master, Lei Guangyao was angry and sullen, and blurted out: "Are you a little fond of that silver thief?!"
"How is it possible?!Is I, Zhao Jinyu, that kind of person?!" Zhao Jinyu raised her eyebrows and was furious, "Second Senior Brother, if you talk nonsense again, I will ignore you!"
As soon as the words came out, Lei Guangyao regretted it, how could he say this kind of angry words that obviously belonged to his own crankiness, that was a silver thief, how could the junior sister have a good impression of him! So he immediately bowed his head and apologized: "Senior sister, I was wrong, I just said angry words, I was angry and I was not angry, and I was not able to save you when you were most dangerous." ”
"Hmph. Zhao Jinyu's anger subsided a little, "Senior brother, don't think nonsense, for Sun Daoyou, I only have gratitude for his life-saving grace." And don't be presumptuous, after all, you were too far away from me at that time. ”
"Yes, yes, yes. One sentence was wrong, Lei Guangyao could only nod frequently.
"Okay, everyone's recovering, let's not hide and talk. Zhao Jinyu didn't give Lei Guangyao a chance to continue apologizing, and took the lead in walking back.
In the gray mist, another person walked in, Jin Shijie, like Hu Xingwu, became a one-armed man, only one of the nine white bones on the nine white bone whips remained, and the whole person looked like a zombie who had just gotten up from the grave, dry and thin, no longer handsome before.
"Ha, I can't imagine that so many Taoist friends are safe and sound, really, really gratifying. Jin Shijie looked at so many people in some surprise, and then grinned.
His surprise was also the surprise of everyone except Shi Xuan and Zhao Jinyu, Shi Xuan was because of incomplete information and lack of information, while Zhao Jinyu was inexperienced in the world.
Since the monks began to form teams to break through the level, the number of monks who died in the outer formation of the Immortal Mansion every time they died was reduced to single digits, and this was still all the casualties of the three major factions plus the scattered cultivators. And the casualties of the fighting among the inner houses became the bulk of the death toll.
However, with the terrifying intensity of this last formation, Zhao Jingding, Gao Xing, Jin Shijie, and others all had a preliminary judgment, that is, it would be very good if six of the thirteen monks who entered the Upside-Down Four Elephant Array could survive! It was also reasonable that the entire army would be annihilated.
Now, Zhao Jingding, Zhao Jinyu, Ling Hong, Lei Guangyao, Gao Xing, Hu Xingwu, Jin Shijie, Liang Qingqing, Shi Xuan, there are already nine people, and it is not even ruled out that there will be monks coming in the future.
"This time, it seems that the team is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. There were a few monks who thought so in their hearts, "Especially the bronze ancient lamp of the silver thief, I am afraid that it has the quality of the Seven Heavens." ”
"Jin Daoyou, hurry up and recover, we're going to be out soon. Zhao Jingding nodded to Jin Shijie.
Jin Shijie hurriedly took out the healing pill and took it, and then meditated cross-legged.
After another moment, a person walked in the gray mist again, Xue Yingzhen, who was dressed in white like snow, and her appearance made all the monks' pupils shrink suddenly.
Xue Yingzhen's dress was neat, her face was as usual, she couldn't tell that she had just returned from such a terrifying formation, but it seemed that Shi Shiran went home after shopping, and when she saw everyone's scrutiny, she said calmly: "Yingzhen is late, please forgive me." ”
Zhao Jingding retracted his suspicious eyes and chuckled: "It's not too late, it's not too late." Miss Xue, please meditate and recover quickly. ”
"No need, the library of classics that the younger generation is going to go, I believe that few monks will go this time, and it will be the same whether it is restored or not. Xue Yingzhen said lightly.
Seeing this, all the monks no longer paid attention to Xue Yingzhen, there were some things that they couldn't ask, unless everyone tore their faces and did it, even if they wanted to do it, they still had to recover their strength first.
After being quiet for a while, Zhao Jingding stood up and said, "Everyone, I believe everyone has almost recovered, let's go, otherwise we will come for nothing." ”
The other nine monks stood up one after another, silently following Zhao Jingding towards the four-color vortex, the previous formation mutation left a big shadow in everyone's hearts.
............
As soon as he came out of the four-color whirlpool, Zhao Jingding immediately cast a light blue seawater shield to wrap everyone around, because the monks wearing purple robes were coming out of the other yellow whirlpool next to him, and they were none other than the people of the Zixia Sect.
Yue Dingyi and his wife Ning Shouyi were both embarrassed with torn robes, thinking that they had suffered a lot in the formation, and when they saw Zhao Jingding and the monks behind him, they were suddenly a little surprised, Yue Dingyi was a little late for a moment before saying: "City Lord Zhao is really a master, and he can actually bring out so many monks from the upside-down four elephant arrays, and only four of them have fallen, amazing, powerful." ”
He looked at Zhao Jingding while looking at Shi Xuan and the other monks. The background to his words was that there were only about ten disciples left behind him, and almost half of them had fallen.
Shi Xuan also looked at the other side with some surprise, because he was surprised to find that Gu Yun and Fang Xuan were actually still standing there, the two of them didn't know how many had died, but they were safe and sound, I don't know if it was really bad luck or someone happened to help them.
Zhao Jingding smiled lightly: "It's just luck." After speaking, he no longer looked at Yue Dingyi, but turned around and pointed to the four roads in front of him: "Fellow Daoists, the one on the left is to Wanbaolou, the middle two are to the library of classics, and the right is to Baicao Pavilion, everyone go according to their own wishes." ”
At this time, the two sides were unwilling to fight, and Zhao Jingding's spell just now was just a matter of habit. If you haven't even seen the treasure, you will be beaten to the death, and Huang Fenggu and the Houtu Sect will definitely have a stomachache while laughing, and they will desperately search for the treasure.
Before parting ways, Zhao Jingding shouted Zhao Jinyu, Ling Hong, and Lei Guangyao together, explained some things, and at the same time whispered to Zhao Jinyu secretly, and handed Zhao Jinyu an artifact. In the end, Zhao Jinyu and Lei Guangyao walked back, and together with Shi Xuan, Liang Qingqing, Jin Shijie, and Hu Xingwu, they walked on the leftmost road.
As for Ling Hong, he did not follow the arrangement before entering the mansion, but followed Zhao Jingding and Gao Xing to Baicao Pavilion. Xue Yingzhen calmly and leisurely embarked on the road of the classic library.
"Let's go too, we can't let them take the lead, I don't know what happened to the Yellow Maple Valley and the Thick Earth Sect. Yue Dingyi explained to the remaining disciples, and then he and Ning Shouyi rushed to the Baicao Pavilion with five Qi Induction Period monks, while the remaining six monks went to Wanbao Tower.
