Chapter 49: Ambush
That night, a black shadow flashed like a faint light smoke on the gentle slope on the east side of Yingzhu Mountain, which was the property of the Ma family and the place where the Ma family's courtyard was backed.
There is no aura on the slope, most of them are some wild flowers and trees, and a small part of the gentle slope is planted with some fruits and vegetables. During the day, some mortals of the clan occasionally go up to the mountains to visit or hunt, and there are also slaves of the clan who go up to the mountains to cultivate the land. At night, there was no one, and several paths into the mountain at the foot of the mountain had long been blocked by the Ma family's samurai courtyard, and idlers were not allowed to go up the mountain.
Soon Wang Xian went to the top of the mountain, from the top of the mountain to the west side of the Yingzhu Mountain, as far as his eyes could see, he saw a lot of cliff remnants, and Wang Xian saw the same as at the foot of the mountain on the west side of the Baishamen, the west side of the ridge is a lot of dangerous ravines, much steeper, and the mountain rocks are also quite hard.
Wang first walked back and forth on the large ridge of Yingzhu Mountain, and after having a rough idea of the terrain on the gentle slope on the east side, he returned to the foot of the mountain and returned to the inn.
Wang Xian stayed in the inn for three days, and used the array materials purchased in the ring to make a full set of array flags for the Sancai Gathering Spirit Array.
That night, in the dead of night, Wang Xian left the inn again, cast the secret spirit trick, and a light smoke drifted towards the area of the Ma family courtyard at the foot of Yingzhu Mountain. When he arrived near the bluestone road outside the high wall of the Ma family's compound, Wang first found a remote place in the alleys of nearby houses out of sight of the compound.
The ground is compacted hard soil, he first used a low-level small forbidden array to protect the surroundings, so that the divine sense in the compound could not detect the fluctuation of spiritual power, and then dug a small hole half a zhang deep into the ground, cast a formation trick into a small array flag, and then backfilled the hard soil to level and restore it, collected the forbidden array, turned into light smoke and drifted along the bluestone road to another similar place.
After two hours of effort, Wang Xian had already scattered nine small array flags along the important place outside the wall of the Ma family courtyard at the foot of Yingzhu Mountain, six small array flags scattered on the mountainside of Yingzhu Mountain, and three small array flags scattered at the big ridge.
Finally, Wang first found a place on the ridge where the trees were dense and the soil was slightly loose, and the rocks were fine, and he began to dig down.
Soon, a small hole three feet deep for only one person was dug. The entrance to the cave is only shoulder-width and covered by weeds, and at the end of the small cave is a secret cave that is one foot square. Wang Xian began to arrange the array eye and the large array flag in the secret cave, as well as three small flags to guard the array eye, and a small flag to receive spiritual energy.
After the arrangement was completed, Wang Xian tried to use the new large array jade plate made in advance to draw three times on the big flag, only to see the flag fluttering and hunting. Next to the small flag that attracted the aura, a faint aura began to seep out. Seeing that the array had been arranged, in order to prevent the fluctuation of the aura from alarming the Ma family, Wang Xian quickly swiped four times in a row, and the aura disappeared.
The "Three Talents Gathering Spirit Array" has already explained that when the Spirit Gathering Array is launched, the spiritual energy in the belly of the mountain is slowly and slightly infiltrated and gathered, although the spiritual energy in the secret room fluctuates greatly, the external fluctuation is very small, and it cannot be detected in a short time on the surface.
Only after a long time, the spiritual springs and spiritual fields related to the spiritual ore will have a small decrease in spiritual energy by half percent, but it will take at least a year or two. Of course, if you launch a Spirit Gathering Array with a radius of more than 100 zhang to gather spiritual power, even if the external fluctuations are slight, there is a risk of being detected when you encounter a Jindan Stage monk with a strong divine sense.
After the formation was ready, Wang Xian went down the mountain overnight, and at this time it was already the second time, and before dawn, he came to Baishamen again. Wang Xian and Zhu Renzhi sat down in the original reception pavilion, and Zhu Renzhi saw Wang Xian's late night visit, and when he heard that Hua Tianzong was ready, he was both happy and suspicious.
I am glad that I have another chance to win the spiritual mine, but I suspect that there are too many failures, and I don't know what it can be like this time. Wang Xian's cultivation at the seventh level of Qi refining is not high, led by him, there is a significant gap between the teams of Huatianzong and many batches of Huatianzong who came before, and he has not seen the high-level monks of Huatianzong so far, which makes Zhu Renzhi a little suspicious and uncertain.
The two sides began to discuss countermeasures, and unanimously set the goal of completely eradicating the Ma family's forces as much as possible and solving the issue of the ownership of the spiritual mine once and for all. Wang first asked Zhu Renzhi to activate all the dark lines to track Ma Ming's movements.
In addition to dozens of Qi refining period cultivators, Baishamen also recruited more than a hundred mortal disciples with spiritual roots to cultivate and cultivate, and more than a hundred warrior miscellaneous servants and so on. In order to prevent leakage of news, starting from tonight, Baishamen is only allowed to enter and not to leave, and the sect is strictly forbidden to transmit news to the outside world. And the main forces of the sect will start tonight, and all of them will be scattered and stationed in the secret stronghold near the Ma family Lingtian.
The two planned that as long as Ma Ming went to Lingtian to investigate, the main force of Baishamen would come out and attack Ma Ming, and the bigger the formation, the better. Just repel and pursue, you don't have to surround it so as not to force it to fight hard, and rush back to the Ma family courtyard.
Once Ma Ming retreats to the Ma Family Courtyard, without knowing the intention of the Baishamen attack and the truth and reality, he will urgently summon the main monks inside and outside the city to return to the compound at full speed, increase the strength of self-protection, and wait for reinforcements according to the courtyard.
At this time, the Baishamen monks on the periphery of the Ma family courtyard wanted to disperse and surround the clan courtyard, not only to make a way for the returning Ma family monks, but also to try not to let a monk in the courtyard escape, only allowed to enter, not to go out.
After Ma Ming fled into the clan courtyard, it didn't take an hour for the main force of the Ma family monks in Rongwan City to be able to all come back to help.
At this time, Zhu Renzhi wanted to lead Baishamen to retreat to the opposite side of the Majia Qingshi Road and ten zhang away from the foot of Yingzhu Mountain, and organized the warriors to drive anyone within ten zhang to clear the field, and sent a hundred miles to Wang Xian, notifying him to open the siege array, trapping the Ma family in the array, and completely cutting off contact with the outside world.
Once the big array is launched, the Baishamen monks can't enter the big array, they only need to set up an ambush in the houses near the bluestone road outside the array, and specially send reinforcements to block the reinforcements. As for the main force of the Ma family besieging the Great Array, it was solved by the Huatian Sect monk team.
Zhu Renzhi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Wang Xian had already set up a mid-level array, and as long as he launched it, he could trap the entire Ma family. Every time the Ma family is attacked, only more than ten rescue monks are recruited, and after they are concentrated in the Ma family, they can always repel the people and horses on their own side by taking advantage of the compound. Now Baishamen only needs to deal with the enemy who comes to help with all his strength, and he has a lot of certainty.
The two of them had made a decision, so Wang Xian took some dry food and returned to the secret room at the top of Shadow Pearl Mountain to wait for news. In recent days, Zhu Renzhi has recalled all the core monks who are on a mission outside, and the main force has been concentrated in the sect to wait.
The sect immediately gathered ten late Qi Refining Stage cultivators, twelve mid-stage Qi Refining Cultivators, and seventeen Qi Refining Early Stage Cultivators. Except for the two monks who left behind at the end of Qi refining to guard the sect's main array, the remaining thirty-seven monks, all dressed in night clothes, made a detour and entered through a city wall in the south of the city. Climb over the city wall, that is, you will arrive at a small courtyard of the house near the city wall in the sect.
Soon, the day dawned, when there were more and more pedestrians and cars on the street, in a small courtyard in the south of the city, every half an hour, drove out a carriage that could sit ** people, along different alleys and streets, and drove towards a small farm yard outside the west city gate, which was the closest to Majia Lingtian.
