The team of monks marching along the river was even more spectacular than expected. The reason was that the Zhanglong Sect had recruited a large number of casual cultivators from western Hunan. Liu Xiaolou was in the team and couldn't see exactly how many people there were, but he couldn't help but feel a little confused. Exciting: I’m afraid I’m sure to win this battle!
The brigade set out from Wuchao Town and walked about twenty miles. In front of them was the main pass in and out of the southeast of Wulong Mountain. A large ship traveling on the Wuchao River docked on the shore. The leader of the Zhanglong Sect surrendered and disembarked with all his masters. When he came to the front, he looked up at the mountain without saying a word. After a while, he made a gesture.
The inner disciples of the Zhanglong Sect turned around and shouted: "Set up the formation!"
The team immediately started moving and dispersed in all directions.
Liu Xiaolou followed the Zang family's queue, and there were twenty people in total. Except for the twelve Zang family members, the other eight people, including himself and Tan Bazhang, were all casual cultivators in the Saojin area and did not know about Zang family. When did the family get recruited? Where have they been placed these past few days? Suddenly they are crowded together like this.
Among the six casual cultivators, Tan Bazhang actually recognized one of them, and he had a good relationship with him. His nickname was Tiger-headed Jiao. He was said to be a rogue cultivator who had wandered here in the south of the Yangtze River. He was covered in tendon meat and looked like he was doing physical training. Way?
Tan Bazhang introduced the two of them. After hearing Liu Xiaolou's self-signation, Tiger Head Jiao put a smile on his face and came up to hold hands to meet each other with great enthusiasm. With such a posture, he wanted to worship Liu Xiaolou on the spot. This made Liu Xiaolou very puzzled and muttered to himself, am I famous?
Zang Baili led the team to a mile away in the northeast. He held a piece of jade in his hand. Liu Xiaolou recognized it at a glance. It was a formation disk. A wave of light like running water flashed across the jade array. Zang Baili turned back and looked in the direction of Master Qu, quietly waiting for the next order from the Zhanglong Sect.
In addition to the collectors, more than ten vassal branches including Mingyu Villa, Black Tiger Village, Changshan Jianmen, Zheng Family, and Dongxi also dispersed in groups, each standing within a three-mile radius, guarding the center. The main sect of the Zhanglong sect is at the forefront.
Liu Xiaolou has refined the array disk, and now he has seen that the Zhanglong Sect has set up a large array and is ready to fight the Qingyu Sect.
The battles between famous sects are indeed different from those of casual cultivators. They play with formations, while the casual cultivators play with a wave of attack and judgment.
Now that there is a large formation to protect him, Liu Xiaolou feels much more at ease in the formation and is no longer so worried. He chats with Tan Bazhang and Tiger Head Jiao for a few words, relaxes his tense mind, and even He also looked forward to the capture when the war was won - if there was a chance to get the capture.
After just a few words of conversation, the main formation of the Zhanglong Sect flew out two sword lights. The sword lights were as fast as galloping horses, flying left and right towards the two wings. Zang's location was on the right wing of the formation. The sword light stopped in front of Zang Baili. There was a person wrapped in the sword light. He was the Zhanglong sect's sword master!
This is a method only available to people with cultivation levels above Jindan. Zang Baili stepped forward to greet him: "Elder Qu!"
The Qu family is the main branch of the Zhanglong sect and has always firmly controlled the Zhanglong sect. Not only the leader, but also many elders have come from the Qu family over the years. Elder Qu ordered: "The Qingyu Sect has not moved, so we will send people into the mountain to investigate."
Zang Baili bowed and responded: "Yes!"
Zang Baili turned around and said, "Tan Bazhang and Liu Xiaolou, you two are from Wulong Mountain and are familiar with the terrain. Please go into the mountain quickly to investigate and report back the details."
Liu Xiaolou suddenly felt bitter and reluctantly walked out of the queue with Tan Bazhang.
Suddenly, someone stepped out and said loudly: "Master Zang, I have known Xiaolou and Bazhang not long ago, but we hit it off instantly. They are brothers of life and death. Although I am not talented, I am willing to go with you two brothers!"
Liu Xiaolou was speechless. He looked at Tan Bazhang. Even Tan Bazhang was a little dazed. Why did he feel like old friends at first sight? Why are brothers living and dying?
Zang Baili stroked his beard and said, "Great kindness! If you don't care about your life, how can I care about money? In this way, if your three brothers find out the enemy's situation, after the report comes, each of you will be rewarded with a spiritual stone!"
Huh? Didn't it mean that being drafted into a war meant that one could only steal property from the enemy? There is actually a reward today? It’s really unprecedented!
In any case, there are people who are willing to take risks and go with them, and there are rewards waiting behind them. Liu Xiaolou's uneasy heart has regained its peace of mind, and his courage has increased sharply!
I was just going home. The Qingyu Sect was a foreigner, and no one was familiar with the terrain of Wulong Mountain. Well, it shouldn't be a big problem.
The three of them left the formation and rushed towards Wulong Mountain two miles away. Liu Xiaolou and Tan Bazhang were both landlords, so of course they would not take the main road foolishly. There were many small roads into the mountain, which were as difficult as climbing to the sky for ordinary people. For the monks like them, it was just a little extra movement - they just used their hands and feet together, and they soon entered Wulong Mountain.
Standing on the hillside of the first mountain, looking back to where they came from, the large formation set up by the Zhanglong Sect at the foot of the mountain was beginning to take shape. Hundreds of monks were divided into thirteen locations, forming thirteen formation nodes, like a spiraling line. The giant dragon roared towards Wulong Mountain with its fangs and claws.
"Is this the Purple Gold Wandering Dragon Formation of the Zhanglong Sect?" Tan Bazhang murmured.
"Purple Gold Dragon Formation? Is it powerful?" Liu Xiaolou heard this name for the first time.
"I heard it's very powerful and kills fiercely... Let's go and come back quickly." The tiger-headed dragon urged.
The three of them agreed on a plan and prepared to climb Yunv Peak to investigate. Yunv Peak is higher and is easier to overlook. So Tan Bazhang asked Liu Xiaolou for his opinion: "Xiaolou, should we go to Broken Arm Cliff or Line of Sky?"
Liu Xiaolou went up the mountain when he was eight years old, and Tan Bazhang only moved from the bottom of the mountain last year. Liu Xiaolou is naturally the authority on the choice of route. He immediately said: "There is also a viewing rock in the north that can also lead to Yunv Peak. Brother Tan doesn't know Bar?"
Tan Bazhang shook his head: "I really haven't been there yet. Then take the Scenic Rock, there are fewer people walking that way."
The tiger-headed dragon suggested: "Since there are three roads, why don't the three of us take one each, and end up at Jade Girl Peak? Three roads go together, and we can see more."
Liu Xiaolou thought for a while and said: "That's fine. You are not familiar with Scenic Rock, so I will take that road; Brother Tan will take the Broken Arm Cliff; Brother Hutou will take the line of sky...Brother Hutou, you Look, go west from here, have you seen the pine forest? Yes, through it, there are two forked mountain roads. The forked road going down, go all the way down, and you will see a creek. Follow the creek and you will see. It is a thin line of sky... The cliffs on both sides of the narrowest point are very narrow, and the sky looks like a thin line..."
The tiger-headed dragon followed his instructions and looked at the mountain road, nodded in agreement: "I know, don't worry!"
Liu Xiaolou was actually not at ease with him. After all, he was an outsider and had never been to Wulong Mountain. So he said a few more words, pointed out a few more recognizable sign locations, and then warned: "I heard Brother Tan say , Brother Hutou, you are at the sixth level of Qi refining, so you are not weak, at least better than me, brother. But Wulong Mountain is foggy and miasmatic, which hinders the perception of true energy. Brother Hutou is from Jiangnan, listen. It is said that the terrain there is flat, dominated by rivers and lakes, and perhaps the perception is keen, but in many places in Wulong Mountain, perception cannot be relied on, and it is only right to see more and listen more."
The tiger-headed dragon smiled and said: "Thank you Xiaolou, Brother Wei, I know it. In fact, it's like this in most mountains, Brother Wei has experienced quite a few!"
So the three of them separated and each went his own way.
