When Xiaoqing and Zidou met at a private house, Han Rui had already gone to Fuyao Mountain.
Before going out, she used a paper kite to send a report to the Demon Lord. The main message was that the tenth day of October was approaching, and she needed to go to the scene in advance to understand the subtle changes in the rules of heaven and earth in order to better refine the spiritual water. She asked the Demon Lord for permission.
This reason is very valid, and the Demon Lord immediately responded and agreed.
Around noon, Han Rui, who had a small calculation in mind, appeared above the giant cauldron and saw a person sitting cross-legged in the distance, it was Gu Zheng.
"How is Master Gu's harvest?" She walked to the middle-aged Taoist priest in a few steps and asked casually while carefully looking at the rubble and debris piled in front of her.
The appearance of some formations can be vaguely seen, but they are incomplete. Various formation items are scattered on the ground, and most of them are in dilapidated condition.
"Why are you here?" Gu Zheng opened his eyes and asked slightly puzzled.
"Tomorrow is the January period. Master Gu, haven't you found what you want yet?" Han Rui said with a double entendre, looking at the other person's face as he spoke.
"Hey, the great road is simple, the great road is simple!" Gu Zheng let out a long sigh.
He thought to himself and said: "I have been studying the art of formations for more than a thousand years. I originally thought that this kind of teleportation formation that spans space and has a transmission distance of more than five thousand miles must be layered, criss-crossed, and extremely complicated. I didn't expect it, thief. The teleportation array we arranged uses runes so cleverly. It seems simple, but in fact it saves many unnecessary steps. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs!"
"Also, Master Han, look at these runes. There are only a few strokes, but they are very consistent with the way of heaven and earth. The power of this teleportation array is so huge, I thought that it might even use the power of the Fushou Ding to use it... "
Gu Zheng praised him repeatedly, shaking his head as if intoxicated.
Han Rui was very surprised. She had already concluded that the teleportation array was a lie, but the way Gu Zheng showed it didn't look like it was fake. For a moment, her mind was agitated, and she almost suspected that her guess was wrong. In fact, there was no such thing as a small world at all.
No, there must be a small world! I used to search for all kinds of herbs in the world, and I have never been to the sea area of Huju Island. That place is not suitable for the growth of golden jujube at all!
Moreover, Huzan cannot betray me. Without the help of the small world, they cannot defeat Huzan!
She refirmed her judgment and looked at Gu Zheng again. She couldn't help but sneer in her heart. She didn't know if this guy's acting skills were too good or if he really didn't know that the small world existed?
"The teleportation array here was blown to pieces. Master Gu can still benefit from it. I really admire it." She complimented without any hesitation.
Gu Zheng was immersed in his own emotions and did not notice anything wrong with the other party's tone. He continued:
"The explosives made by these thieves are also very interesting. After thinking about it for several days, I finally identified that it was made of Plutosteel stone that had absorbed spiritual energy, and it was made of black liverwort, sun-dried and crushed powder. Its power was actually astonishing. But the sky shattered and the earth shattered. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would really not believe it..."
He was still chattering, but Han Rui had no intention of listening anymore and began to use her spiritual consciousness to inspect various debris on the ground.
Most of the objects used to set up the formation, such as formation flags, formation disks, jade pillars, magic beads, etc., need to be specially refined. In essence, they are all magic weapons.
Similarly, a small world made of various heavenly materials and earthly treasures can also be regarded as a kind of magic weapon.
But in order to hide or confuse the world, the refiners of the small world often disguise themselves in special ways, making it look like a first- or second-level low-level magic weapon from the outside, or even disguised as a mortal object.
Among them, those with superb methods, even Yuanying cultivators, will be deceived if they are not careful.
However, once the existence of the small world is exposed to the public, it is not difficult to find it.
Refining!
As long as those suspicious objects are branded with the mark of one's own spiritual consciousness, then wrapped with spiritual consciousness, and the internal structure and composition are explored. Refining it one by one, eliminating it one by one, until you encounter something that cannot be refined in a short time, it must be the small world!
Han Rui took out a futon, sat down on it, put her hands flat, closed her eyes slightly, and entered a state of emptiness.
Seeing her like this, Gu Zheng thought he had heard his introduction and sensed the strangeness of the teleportation array, so he stopped talking and continued to close his eyes and concentrate.
Several hours passed by in a flash. During this period, Han Rui refined hundreds of artifacts.
The first is the scattered corpses in the giant cauldron. Because of the ancient armor, these dried corpses were left in place without being processed. Han Rui did not let go of any of them and inspected them all.
However, apart from the ordinary clothes on their bodies and the shackles on their feet, the rest of these corpses were just a few scattered accessories that occasionally appeared, which she quickly eliminated.
Then came the items scattered on the ground, most of which came from the teleportation array after the explosion. Bits and pieces were scattered everywhere, and they were branded one by one by her, and then removed one by one.
Thanks to her being the True Monarch of Nascent Soul and having extremely powerful spiritual consciousness, she was able to refine so many materials in a short period of time.
However, after hundreds of pieces, no matter how strong her consciousness was, she could no longer bear it, so she took out a pill to repair her consciousness, swallowed it with her mouth open, and sat quietly to adjust her breathing.
During this period, Gu Zheng did not rest. He stood up several times, picked up some fragments from different directions, carefully sent them to the broken teleportation array, and then continued to meditate.
Seeing his serious look, Han Rui became more and more unpredictable.
At this time, there was only this partially restored teleportation array left in the entire giant cauldron, and she had not checked it yet.
After adjusting her breath, she stood up and walked over. Her eyes first fell on the high-grade Kongming Stone, and she reached out to take it off.
"What are you going to do!" Gu Zheng's shouts suddenly came to mind.
"Hey? Could it be that all the things here belong to Mr. Gu and the little girl can't touch them?" Han Rui sneered.
"I spent a month working hard to place it here. If you move it, how can I calculate the location of the other fragments?" Gu Zheng suppressed his anger and explained patiently.
Gu Zheng studied this teleportation formation with the permission of the Demon Lord. Even if Han Rui was suspicious, she would not dare to do it for a while.
However, a rough estimate of the formation objects contained here is at least three to four hundred, and most of them are stacked together, covering each other and causing interference. If they are not refined one by one, not only will the spiritual consciousness be consumed, Huge and easy to miss.
Han Rui has almost determined that the small world is within it, so how can she give up?
She rolled her eyes and chuckled:
"Tomorrow will be tomorrow in a few hours. The January period is coming, can Mr. Gu still stay here and not leave?"
These words touched Gu Zheng's thoughts. He frowned and said displeasedly: "Master Han, what advice do you have?"
"Master Gu doesn't let me touch the things here because he is worried about affecting the restoration of the teleportation array. In that case, why not move these fragments to another place intact according to their placement?"
"Besides," she pointed to the dim sky above her head, not without pride: "Master Gu, it's snowing."
A big hole seemed to have opened in the sky, and flakes of snow were falling down the hole, and would soon fall to the ground.
Gu Zheng finally couldn't sit still.
"I'm going to find some of my men right now. Lord Han, please take care of me. If the wind and snow are too heavy, please use your magic power to drive them away. Don't cover the ground. Please."
"Hey -" Han Rui wanted to call him, but she thought to herself that if she could call someone, she could use a paper kite to notify him. Why bother to go there in person? But then I thought, isn’t this exactly what I want? He agreed immediately without hesitation.
Little did she know that after Gu Zheng left like this, what happened next pushed her to a dead end.
