This is a stone about ten feet high. It looks like a fairy peach, but the left side has been bitten, revealing many sharp stones, which looks a bit scary.
Grandma was standing in front of this strange rock, watching intently.
Yang Zhen stretched her neck to look behind her. Mammy said there was a hidden formation here, but he couldn't tell it at all. These stones, mountains, forests and the surrounding environment blended into one, as if they had existed here since ancient times.
He has had some exposure to the four major techniques of alchemy and talismans in the world of immortality. Take the formation as an example. There is a protective formation at the gate of Zhao Mansion, but it is generally not opened during the day. The Shuiheyuan where Zhao Yueer lived also had a protective formation. Every time he went in and out with his token, he felt an invisible door quietly opening in front of him.
Therefore, the formation was not completely unfamiliar to him, but it was the first time he encountered this formation in the wild, and he could not detect any trace of anything unusual.
"Mammy, where is this formation?" Seeing that grandma had been silent for a long time, he couldn't help but ask.
"As for the hidden formation, of course it won't be easily discovered by you." Mammy said with a smile: "But this formation was a little rough in layout and leaked the atmosphere, so I bumped into it."
"Concealment formation? What level of formation is this?"
"This is a second-level high-grade one, which is considered to be a high-grade one in Zhuyang County. If this formation is properly arranged, it will be difficult for even the Golden Core cultivators to detect it. We are really lucky!"
The second-level high-grade can deal with mana exploration in the later stages of foundation building. Unless the Zifu and Jindan monks know that there is a hidden formation here, they will often ignore it. And with Mammy's strength, if there wasn't something wrong with this formation, she might not be able to notice it even if she spent three days and three nights here.
"Is it easy to open it now?" Yang Zhen continued to ask.
"The biggest function of the concealment formation is to conceal it. Once traces are exposed, the difficulty of this formation will be reduced by 70 to 80%. It is not difficult to break the formation. But there is another formation here. The two of them... …Well, they don’t overlap!”
She smiled slightly: "Then I will break the concealment formation first!"
After saying that, grandma made a secret with her hands and moved her eyes slightly: "Breaking through the void to see the reality, there is nothing to hide, show it to me!"
Her eyes twinkled faintly as she looked around.
This is a common illusion-breaking technique in the world of immortality, and it is the most commonly used method to deal with illusion formations. Generally, people who know formation techniques will practice this kind of delusion-busting technique, and the effect of this spell will be greatly improved as the level of cultivation increases. Since there are flaws in this formation, with Grandma's cultivation level, she can see through the reality.
Sure enough, wherever she looked, she could see all the vanity here. With a smile on her lips, she raised her hand and a flag flew out.
"Jingmen, get out!"
The master of Jingmen is hidden, and if Jingmen is found, the concealment formation will basically be useless.
Following this scolding, Yang Zhen only felt that the space in front of her seemed to shake slightly, as if a bubble suddenly burst. The broken peach-like boulder had disappeared, and instead, a cave as tall as one person appeared. The door is closed, with intricate patterns carved on it.
"Is the formation broken?" Yang Zhen said happily.
"We just broke one. There is another one here. This is... the Five Elements Heart Locking Formation."
The Five Elements Locking Heart Formation utilizes the principle of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements to interlock with each other, like a big lock, sealing off the space inside. This formation can be large or small. If it is large, it will block a whole area of heaven and earth, and if it is small, it will lock the internal organs.
"Is this easy to break?" Yang Zhen kept asking like a curious baby.
"It's difficult to handle," the mama frowned slightly: "This is also a second-level formation. To break this five-element heart-locking formation, five monks with the same cultivation level as me need to use five-element spells to hit the five formation eyes respectively, and at the same time Use your strength to break through.”
"Then let's go to the county temple, and our Zhao family can call for someone to come."
"You kid," Mammy shook her head: "You have to remember one thing, like this kind of cave, secret realm, if the danger is not great and you can handle it, you should try your best to rely on yourself. Otherwise, if there is one more person, you will One less harvest!”
"The monks compete with the sky for their fate. With more resources, they can take one more step on the road!"
"This type of five-element heart-locking formation usually consists of a core formation and four subsidiary formations. The core formation often has other mysteries. I'll take a closer look first. If it doesn't work, it won't be too late to call someone."
She stared at the patterns on the door and observed carefully. In the middle of these patterns was a ring that looked like the Five Elements and Bagua diagram. However, there were no black and white fish inside, but a small round hole.
"This seems to require specific blood essence?" She murmured to herself.
Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she turned to Yang Zhen and shouted:
"Little Shitou, come here and do a favor for grandma."
Yang Zhen came over as she was told, and grandma grabbed one of his hands and flicked it on her fingers. Yang Zhen only felt her fingers numb slightly, and a drop of red liquid appeared in mid-air.
"I'll lend you a drop of blood." Nanny said with a smile.
"Mommy, I'm still growing." Yang Zhen protested angrily.
The smile on Mammy's face became even brighter, as if she was pleased with herself for bullying the little devil.
She then calmed down and controlled the drop of blood to float towards the round hole in the middle.
The essence and blood touched the round hole, was quickly swallowed up, and disappeared.
Under the eager gazes of the two people, the stone door slowly slid aside, revealing a cave.
"What's going on?" Yang Zhen was stunned. The formation that took five nuns to break was easily opened by a drop of my blood?
"Because, this is the formation created by your ancestors of the Yang family. It contains bloodline identification. As long as it is the bloodline of the Yang family, it can be opened."
"The Yang family's cave?"
"Yes, let's go in and take a look. There should be no danger inside."
After the mama finished speaking, she raised her legs and walked towards the cave, and Yang Zhen quickly followed in.
The cave is not deep. After walking down more than ten steps, which is probably like going down a floor, we stepped onto the solid ground.
A ball with white light lit up. Nanny threw it and the ball fell into Yang Zhen's hand.
"This is a luminous pearl. If you put spiritual energy into it, it will shine for a long time."
Yang Zhen held the ball in her hand, the light was dim. He looked around and found that he was in a square hall that was three feet square and as high as two people.
"Little Shitou, this is really your Yang family's place." Grandma pointed to the front of the hall.
There is an incense table in front, with dozens of spiritual tablets stacked on top of each other. There is also a portrait hanging directly above the incense table. It is of a middle-aged Taoist priest with a face as white as jade and an air of immortal Taoism.
Yang Zhen stepped forward, placed the beads in front of a spiritual tablet, and looked at it carefully.
I saw it said "First test the memorial tablet of Yang Xianjun's Taoside after his death"
Yang Side, this was Yang Yin's father, Xiao Shitou's grandfather, and the last immortal cultivator in the Yang family. He gave birth to a son at the age of seventy, and soon passed away due to the recurrence of old injuries.
Looking at another spiritual tablet, it says [Yang Changqing], which is also an ancestor of the Yang family.
These are all the names that Yang Zhen saw at the Yang family cemetery in the morning, so he still remembers them now.
At that time, Yang Zhen also thought that the Yang family, as a family that has continued to exist, should have an ancestral hall even though it has a small population. But it was difficult for him to ask in front of Chen Fugui.
Now it seems that this cave is the ancestral hall of the Yang family, worshiping the ancestors of the Yang family.
On the bottom layer of these spiritual tablets, Yang Zhen saw a relatively new tablet, but it was Yang Yin's tablet.
"Your mother should have been here three years ago," Grandma analyzed: "And she took you with her. Do you have no impression at all?"
Yang Zhen shook her head and said she didn't remember anything.
"You really have severe amnesia." Grandma was a little strange. Even if Su Hui wakes up, will she forget the past so completely?
I'll ask an expert later. Anyway, as long as it's not a seizure, there won't be any harm to the Zhao family.
The two of them looked at the portrait at the same time. Yang Zhen couldn't see the writing on it clearly, but Mammy could see it clearly.
"Zhu, Yun, Zhen Zun!" She read each word one by one, with a look of surprise on her face: "Zhen Zun! This ancestor of your Yang family is actually a Zhen Zun and a powerful one!"
"What is Zhenzun?" Yang Zhen looked confused.
"Zhen Zun is the honorific title of the monk who transforms into a god. Transforming into a god is a level of power higher than Yuanying. Since the Three Thousand Years War, no one in this world can be promoted to a god."
She looked at the portrait and added: "No one can ascend anymore. And your ancestor is still an ascended monk." She was speechless, obviously not expecting that the Yang family's origins were so extraordinary.
"There is something right under the portrait. Go get it and take a look." Mammy ordered with an eager tone. If that was the inheritance of the cultivator, it would be a great opportunity for him.
If this was not the ancestral hall of the Yang family and Yang Zhen was here, she would have gone and picked it up herself.
Yang Zhen walked over, and sure enough there was a jade box underneath.
He didn't open it, just took it and handed it to his grandmother.
Grandma took a deep breath and carefully opened the jade box. Inside was a book of exercises. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and then dimmed instantly.
I saw five big characters clearly written on the cover of the exercise method: [Five Elements Strengthening Technique]!
"Is this the skill you asked me for last time?" There was disappointment in her words.
When Yang Zhen saw these words, she was almost certain that this was the technique she saw on the wood carving. He picked it up, flipped through a few pages, and replied:
"Indeed, but more comprehensive than I remember."
"Since it is the inheritance of the monks who transform gods, it must still be useful," Mammy's mentality has recovered: "Can I study this book?"
"That's what you wish for." Yang Zhen smiled.
The two of them scanned around the hall again to make sure there was nothing else. Thinking about it, this should be the case. If there were any valuable possessions, given the embarrassment of the Jin family at that time, I am afraid they would have exchanged them for spiritual stones.
The two came out of the cave, and the nanny made seals with her hands. After a while, the strange peach-like stone reappeared, but the bitten spot was gone.
"Since it is the ancestral temple of your Yang family, let's restore it to its original state," Mammy said with a smile: "I have repaired the omissions. As long as we don't tell, even the monks from the Zifu will not be able to find it in the future. !”
"It's a pity that such a good formation protection has no treasure inside." She sighed.
Yang Zhen said nothing. There was something he didn't understand. There are clearly two exercises in the wood carving, so why are only the [Five Elements Body Training Technique] found in this ancestral temple, and the [Five Elements Mending Heaven Sutra] with a very awesome name?
Was it never in the ancestral temple, or...
Was it taken away?
