"Come closer to me!" Ge Yuan shouted.
The five people quickly jumped to Ge Yuan's side. Ge Yuan took out the demon subduing rope and surrounded the six people. Then he took out three beads and hurriedly recited four or five incantations. The three beads were placed on each of the six people's heads. After a knock, the demon-subduing rope gradually disappeared. Ge Yuan took back the bead and said worriedly: "Fortunately, we entered this place for the first time and didn't sink too deeply. I have locked our fortunes together for the time being. Relying on our mutual bonds, we can barely compete with the formation here. But even so, We can’t stay too long, so we should leave as soon as we find the Worry-Free Grass.”
"Brother Yuan'er, what formation are you talking about?" Lingdang asked.
"It is the connection object of 'Jade'. This thousand-turn cause and effect is consolidated by a formation. Ordinary 'Jade' will end on its own after a long enough time. But due to the existence of the formation, 'Jade''s The time limit can be extended a thousand times, but this village is still pitiful. It has been thousands of years and it has not come out of the cycle of cause and effect."
"No..." Qiu Gong, who led them into this place, turned around and said to everyone: "This is not a village, it is a country, and it is not just a thousand years, but tens of thousands of years." His strange body suddenly trembled, and It began to reshape at a speed visible to the naked eye. The tentacles disappeared and legs appeared. The "sunflower"-like head lost its gray hair, leaving only the white beard on the chin. This was clearly a rickety old human man, no more than five feet tall. When he bent his back, he looked even shorter, and there was a crutch in his hand. He raised the crutch and touched the ground gently. In an instant, the scenery in front of everyone changed completely. The beautiful mountains and grasslands disappeared and turned into The dark ground is paved with withered yellow grass leaves, and the springs in the mountains have lost their aura. Looking from a distance, they look like old and dilapidated snow cloth, forcibly draped among thorns and rocks. Even the windy and sunny scenery Three gray clouds specially floated in the sky, and the few remaining beams of light that came through barely hit the crooked houses.
In fact, this scene is not ugly, and the beauty of faintness is also beautiful. It's just that it's okay to look at the scene, but living in the scene is a kind of pain.
Ge Yuan said: "Old man, what kind of country is this?"
The old man's eyes had long lost their brightness. He seemed to be recalling the passing years in the old city, and slowly said: "Zhen Kingdom, young man, you don't need to call me old man at your age. According to the outside world's time limit, I am in my prime. Only thirty-seven years old.”
"Ah?" Muziyun and Lingdang screamed, and Lingdang asked, "Have you been poisoned or persecuted by evil magic?"
"I brought you in, so from now on, I will take you all the way. Don't worry, you won't be kept here for a long time. You can leave in two days at most. Of course, if you want to leave now, , it's totally fine." The old man may have guessed what everyone was thinking, and continued: "Other people in the country will not come out. Every living thing here is living happily. We are afraid of foreign things, afraid of everything that is unstable or possible. Something that brings us disaster.”
The six people followed the old man and walked on the outermost ring road around the national city in front of them. Mu Ziyun asked: "Senior, please tell us about this place. What happened and why are you hiding here."
The old man walked in the front. Although he was very slow, his steps were powerful. He looked at the dirt road ahead and replied: "The Kingdom of Zhen is a small country. It is weak and is at the mercy of others."
Xiubing suddenly interrupted him and said: "Old man, please be humble. There are as many beasts as there are people in this small country. I can clearly feel that those beasts are neither speechless beasts nor ordinary beasts. Their levels are not the same." Low, I guess in your heyday, you were the ones who attacked the outside world, rather than the ones who were bullied. Did you offend someone and get revenge?"
Mu Ziyun jumped over and covered Xiubing's mouth and said: "Shut your mouth first. It took a lot of effort to stop talking for a day. Keep it up."
The old man did not pay attention and continued: "The weaker you are, the easier it is to be bullied. The Kingdom of Zhen has become a cattle and sheep in a cage to be slaughtered. A group of bandits attacked at night and erected seven pillars on this land. Created a formation that has declined for thousands of years. As you can see, my appearance is also the current situation of the creatures in the Kingdom of Zhen. The creatures here have a hard time living every moment from birth to death. No one can You know whether you will be alive in the next breath. No one knows what 'luck' is. Some are just bad luck that can be encountered everywhere. The luck of our descendants for generations has been sucked away by that formation."
Everyone looked at each other, and according to what the old man said, isn't this the legendary "Sun Calculation Clock" from the cursed country in the story? Unexpectedly, they came with the idea of looking for the Worry-Free Grass, but they found the origin of the Calculation Clock. information. Mu Ziyun quickly asked: "Senior, who owns this formation now? Have you found them?"
"Can't find it, oh, so what if we find it. They have all our blessings. We can't win no matter what. Generations of people are looking for a way to escape. Sometimes I think, let everyone Let's commit suicide together. We should enter the road of hell early and be reborn in other places. We don't have to live such a miserable life. But looking at the children, if they end their lives like this, how can they be worthy of the world that has persisted for thousands of years? Where are the ancestors from generation to generation?”
Zhuan Wangdong asked: "Didn't you find a way to escape?"
Ge Yuan replied: "It's useless. They are within the formation. This kind of formation that takes away people's fortune can only be solved by outsiders, and it is not easy, because only the person who created this formation knows this formation." If we try to solve the law of internal energy arrangement bit by bit, it will take thousands of years to unravel it.”
"Where are the pillars?" Xiubing looked around, "Why don't you see the Dharma pillar you mentioned?"
The old man pointed forward. It was an iron-colored mountain. The old man said: "Here we are, this mountain. It is made up of the seven pillars. Only by dissolving this mountain can we save our Kingdom." We can't do it..." The old man lowered his head and sighed, "We can't save ourselves, we can only find ways to live a better life. If all this is karma, then we will do more good deeds. Here Every other month, one person must be sent to live in a hidden village outside to do as much good deeds as possible, just to accumulate some blessings for the Kingdom of Zhen."
"Senior" Mu Ziyun asked: "Do you know about Huayoucao?"
Unexpectedly, the old man's body shook. Zhuan Wangdong immediately noticed the change in the old man's spirit. After a while, the old man stopped and turned around and said: "The secret of the baby is also hidden in this mountain. If you can resolve it, You will definitely get the Worry-Resolving Grass, hey..."
Almost no one can deceive Zhuan Wangdong's mental power with lies, but the old man did not lie. This time, everyone not only found the Huayoucao, but also directly came into contact with clues to the daily calculation clock.
Half an hour later, everyone followed the old man and finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. What everyone saw was a mountain, but in Fang Tianmu's eyes, it was made up of seven Tongtian Pillars combined through magic, with the help of his perception of energy. , can clearly see the flow process of every energy in this technique, but there are probably hundreds of millions of energy flows here.
After looking at it, Fang Tianmu said coldly: "If you can't solve it, give up."
The old man sighed, and Mu Ziyun frowned and said, "We haven't tried it yet. Let's at least try everything we can do."
The size of this Zhen Kingdom is not comparable to that of an ordinary city, and all the creatures in the country are silently paying attention to the group of people, although they are not showing their faces.
The old man knew that he had failed again this time. But Fang Tianmu said coldly: "There is too much energy flowing inside, and I don't understand the rules. It will take hundreds of years to solve it."
"Can you feel the energy inside?" The old man opened his eyes wide, "But...can you prove it to me?"
Fang Tianmu walked to the "Iron Mountain" and placed his palm gently on the stone surface. After half a stick of incense, a piece of stone skin fell off.
Xiubing smiled and said: "Oh my god, I thought something would happen, but it's useless."
But he didn't expect the old man to be so excited. He rushed over and grabbed Fang Tianmu's arm, shouting: "It's you, you're the one I've been waiting for... You're finally here."
Lingdang helped the old man over and asked, "Don't worry, old man. Please tell me what's going on."
The old man was so excited that he could not speak. He waved towards the distance. As a result, a large number of creatures ran out of the Zhen Kingdom. As Xiubing said, half were humans and half were beasts, and they were all spiritually intelligent and able to practice. Strange beast. The old man pointed at Fang Tianmu and said, "He can see. He can see everything. A piece of this mountain just fell off!"
Suddenly, there was an uproar, and the six of them were deafened by the sounds of animals and humans. Their madness was disturbing. Xibing's eyes suddenly became cold and stern, and all the beasts' roars stopped abruptly. Under the horrified eyes of the humans in Zhen Kingdom, all the animals, including the pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep they raised, knelt down in front of Xibing piously, without Xibing. No one dared to make a sound despite the order.
A real old man appeared in the crowd. He was the king of Zhen Kingdom. He miraculously lived to be sixty-seven years old. However, the pain caused by bad luck made him unable to move. He was pushed out with a rolling chair. The old king trembled and said: "You... what are you..."
Xibing smiled at the king and said, "I don't like their noise, so I have to shut them up."
"What a... What a god. Please save the creatures on this land." All humans knelt down towards Fang Tianmu.
Mu Ziyun turned back curiously, and used all his strength to punch Tieshan. His hand hurt terribly, but not even a scum fell from the mountain. He was angry and shot out thunder and lightning, even though it was Lei, who was so decisive in killing, couldn't even drill a small hole in the mountain.
The old king explained: "Don't waste your efforts. This formation is composed of the most sophisticated seven hundred Taoist arts. It can protect the life of the creatures in the formation, and it can also deceive the punishment of heaven and make people control outside the formation." Those who have enjoyed blessings for generations to come, only those who can see through the flow of energy can have a way to crack it. It is not just ordinary people who can see clearly, they must be astute to every inch. If they do not have the ultimate control of energy, they will do it. Not even a single fragment will fall off this mountain."
