In the room, Qian Chao didn't know what was going on outside. He was still thinking about what kind of things could happen between Senior Brother Wu and Senior Brother Luan that could make Senior Brother Wu plan to harm others?
But after thinking about it for a while, Qian Chao felt that it was a bit redundant. It was probably a cave hiding treasures. Senior Brother Luan didn't find the right place. The map was still valuable, so Senior Brother Wu came to find him.
There are many middle-level and high-level Qi refining brothers who have practiced and lived in the sect for decades. Who knows what kind of feuds and discords there may be between them, but I still don’t think about it.
Qian Chao originally planned to take a rest when he saw this, but the title of the last story suddenly attracted his attention and energy.
The title of that article is called "Magic Formation".
The Zhai family in Lingchuan is just an ordinary family. Among the many aristocratic families in Lingchuan, they are not as good as the ones above, but more than the ones below. They can only protect themselves. The head of the Zhai family is named Zhai Xiao, and he is a high-level foundation-building monk.
One day, Zhai Xiao received a guest at home. It turned out that the Zhai family had previously married a daughter to a prominent family in another place, but that was before Zhai Xiao became the head of the family. She is also Zhai Xiao's sister. Speaking of that marriage, Zhai Xiao contributed a lot. His sister was originally unwilling to marry, but it was he who tried his best to get her to get married helplessly.
This marriage has naturally brought a lot of benefits to the Zhai family. However, since they are a big family, they naturally look down on the strength of the Zhai family. In addition, the distance is quite far, so over time, the communication between the two families has become less frequent. If there are too many people, they will become unfamiliar.
This guest's surname was Kuai Zhi, and the Kuai family was the same aristocratic family that Zhai Xiao's sister married into.
Kuai Zhi took out a letter and gave it to Zhai Xiao. Zhai Xiao opened it and read it. It was his sister's handwriting. The letter said that the young man in front of him was his son. He had achieved some success in spiritual practice and was traveling. I wanted him to come to his parents' house first and kowtow to his grandfather and uncle.
It turned out that the handsome young man in front of him was his nephew. Zhai Xiao looked at it and found that he didn't look like his sister. He should be similar to his brother-in-law. It's just that he hadn't seen him for so many years. He couldn't remember what he looked like.
But seeing that this young man's cultivation has already established a foundation, I can't help but sigh, secretly thinking that it is the big family who can train their children. Look at the children and nephews in my family. There are not many high-level Qi refining people. How do they compare with the Kuai family? Compare!
Since his nephew came to visit, Zhai Xiao naturally received him warmly. According to his thoughts, who can guarantee that this nephew will not be the new head of the Kuai family in the future? If this is the case, then his uncle's waist will naturally be strong in Lingchuan. Straighter.
After some hospitality, the two chatted over tea.
Zhai Xiao asked about his sister and some things about the Kuai family, and Kuai Zhi answered fluently. He told Zhai Xiao one by one about the situation in the Kuai family, and Zhai Xiao kept nodding.
Finally, Kuai Chi asked that he had passed a high mountain when he came here, and saw that there were many broken walls and ruins in the mountain. It seemed that it used to be a large manor, and he didn't know why it was so dilapidated now.
Zhai Xiao thought for a moment based on the direction mentioned by his nephew, and then said that the mountain was called Haiyang Mountain. There used to be a big family that cultivated immortals in the mountain. It had been too long. It seemed that his surname was Sheng, and Lingchuan was also very prosperous at that time. Later, due to conflicts with other aristocratic families, the Sheng family died after several battles, leaving some ruins there.
Kuai Zhi nodded, as if he was hesitant to speak.
When Zhai Xiao saw the curiosity, he asked him to tell him whatever he had to say.
Kuai Zhi thought for a moment and said that he saw that there seemed to be treasures hidden in the ruins. Why didn't the local aristocratic family go and take them away?
treasure? This piqued Zhai Xiao's mind. There were indeed rumors that the Sheng family that had fallen earlier had treasures left behind. However, the Lingchuan family, large and small, had been searching there for no less than a hundred years, and in the end, didn't they come up empty-handed? How did the nephew figure out there was a treasure there?
After listening to what Zhai Xiao said, Kuai Zhi smiled and said that for such a big family, the place where the treasure is hidden is naturally guarded by formations. Ordinary monks don't know the formations, they don't even know where the formations are. Just standing on the formation, as long as the formation is not triggered, nothing can be seen.
When he heard the word "formation", Zhai Xiao believed it for a while, because the extinct Sheng family was famous for its formations. The formation where the Sheng family hid their treasures was even more powerful. The scene of the year has never been found. But how did his young nephew find the formation?
Kuai Zhi smiled and said that he studied formations intensively in the Kuai family, and even participated in the arrangement of some formations at home.
Seeing the doubts in Zhai Xiao's eyes, Kuai Zhi took out some utensils, arranged a simple formation in front of Zhai Xiao, and then invited Zhai Xiao to try it.
A middle-aged monk who was building a foundation at home was summoned by Zhai Xiao and entered the formation. Then the monk disappeared. After Kuai Zhi withdrew the formation, the monk appeared again sweating profusely and exhausted. In front of the two of them, he said that after entering the formation, his eyes were completely white and he couldn't see anything. There was no strength left in his body. Although he tried desperately to break free, he couldn't do it no matter what. He was just terrified.
After seeing the mystery of this formation, Zhai Xiao believed his nephew's method and asked Kuai Zhi if there was any way to take out the treasure left by the Sheng family.
Kuai Zhi said that the formation at the treasure left by the Sheng family was extremely complicated, and he probably couldn't do it alone, unless his uncle could help and prepare some things in advance. Those things that need to be prepared are valuable and cost a lot. It's a spiritual stone, but if the treasure inside is to be taken out, he has to take half of it.
By the time he got here, Zhai Xiao had already lost his wits. He immediately agreed and asked people to prepare according to Kuai Zhi's instructions. He also strictly ordered no one in the family to leak any information.
A few days later, after the preparations were completed, a lot of spiritual stones were spent, which made Zhai Xiao secretly feel pain. However, he thought that the treasures left by the Sheng family must be more and more attractive, so he gave up. Then, together with Kuai Zhi, the group of people secretly headed towards Haiyang Mountain.
They successfully arrived at the ruins of the manor in Haiyang Mountain. Kuai Zhi searched inside for a while, and then led everyone to what seemed to be the ruins of a building.
Then according to his arrangement, the people of the Zhai family who followed began to hold something and guard it somewhere, arranging it carefully one by one.
After doing this, Kuai Zhi cautiously took out a stone letter and told Zhai Xiao that he had found it in the ruins when he came here, and that it was the key to unlocking the treasure. He pointed to a place on the ground that was related to this. The stone letter is a square hole of suitable size. It is said that as long as the stone letter is placed inside, a passage will collapse and lead directly to the place where the treasure is hidden.
Now that everything is ready, I finally asked my uncle to open the treasure with his own hands.
Zhai Xiao was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, he was there. He took the stone letter and walked over. He bent down and just put the stone letter there when he felt the ruins shaking, which made him even more excited. Just when he was waiting for something to collapse, he was horrified to find that he couldn't even move a finger. Not only Zhai Xiao was like this, but the people who came with him at home were also like this. They were all dumbfounded, standing frozen on the spot, with only their eyes darting around. That look was as funny as you want.
Later, the passage did appear, a cave entrance with a step diagonally downwards. Kuai Zhi chuckled and walked in. After an unknown period of time, Kuai Zhi came out again. He clapped his hands towards Zhai Xiao and said I took everything inside.
Zhai Xiao couldn't speak, but he was frightened and frightened in his heart. He didn't know what this nephew was going to do. Was he trying to monopolize the treasures here? Do all members of the Kuai family act like this? Not even a hint of family affection!
It seems that you really don’t recognize me, Kuai Zhi said, no wonder you haven’t seen me a few times after so many years. Let me make it clear to you now, you still remember Zhai Lin’s Shen Lang, right? ?
Zhai Lin is Zhai Xiao's sister, the sister who was almost forced by him to marry into the Kuai family.
Kuai Zhi stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, and his appearance changed almost immediately. Zhai Xiao recognized this face and vaguely recognized it. He was his sister's lover when he was outside. Zhai Xiao had forgotten his name. , but the surname Shen is indeed true.
You used the lives of me and my whole family to force Zhai Lin to marry. You will never forget this, right? I can't forget it, and your sister Zhai Lin will never forget it. She had a very bad life in the Kuai family, and because of this Her hatred for you is no weaker than mine. I had no choice but to watch her marry and jump into the pit of fire. It was all your fault. Whenever I think of this over the years, I wish I could kill you with a sword!
I am the only one left in my family now, hum! I can be considered a casual cultivator, but I have finally achieved success in cultivation over the years. I went to Kuai's house to see her secretly, and then I found out about her current situation. She was not doing well. When I approached her, she didn't expect that she had been there for so many years. I still remember her. After several trysts, the two of us decided to elope, otherwise neither of us would end well if the Kuai family found out.
But even if you run away, there will always be some trouble, so the two of us made a plan. You have never known Zhai Lin in these years, and you have never been to Kuai's house, so I came to you pretending to be her son. That letter was written by Zhai Lin. You are just as greedy and stupid as your sister said. You really think I am your nephew! But if you pay to help me open this place, I won’t argue with you.
Do you know why you can't move and I'm fine?
Kuai Zhi took out a jade plaque from his arms, waved it in front of Zhai Xiao's eyes, and continued.
In fact, my surname is not Shen. My original surname is Sheng. Zhai Lin knows these things. I am a descendant of the Sheng family here. This is the ruins of our Sheng family. This formation technique is also left behind by the Sheng family. I Nature will understand. Without this sign, no one in this formation can move. The Sheng family is completely destroyed, and only these things are left. I couldn't open them before, but now, it's all thanks to you.
I'm leaving. Zhai Lin is waiting for me. She won't let me hurt you. Considering that you are my brother-in-law, I won't hurt your life either. However, there will still be punishment. You still have to be there. I have to stand here for a while before I can move.
Don't even think about finding us after I leave. The world is so big and there are many places we can go, so let's just say goodbye.
After saying that, Kuai Zhi, no, it should be the descendant of the Sheng family, drifted away.
The story ends here.
Qian Chao felt that this story had mostly elements of interpretation. Maybe the person who wrote the book didn't know much about the formation. He just followed a legend and added his own ideas to write down the formation in the book.
But that's not necessarily the case. Qian Chao's own formations, let alone getting started, don't even have a superficial understanding of them. Maybe there really is such formations.
But this story gave Qian Chao some ideas. First, it seemed that there were ruins of aristocratic families that either died out or declined in the world of spiritual practice. The second is that there might really be some hidden treasures in those ruins, or they might be well hidden, or they might really be protected by some formation.
If this is really the case, then if you encounter one like this in the future, your Blue Eyes Technique will probably come in handy.
But then you have to use some formation methods yourself.
Formation, well, where can I learn it? I'll go back and search in the library. Maybe I can figure it out from some book.
Finally, seeing that it was late at night, Qian Chao put the book away and took a rest.
