(Talking to myself: After this chapter, I was going to open a new paper later. I had already thought of the name, but after thinking about it I gave up. I will prepare this test paper until five people break through the small fifth level, and then Open a new volume.)
Several people were sitting around Qian Chao's desk, ready to listen to his explanation.
Qian Chao said: "Remember the Little Lotus Lake? It is also a cage of heaven and earth. Although the five mountains by the lake there are smaller than the mountains here, it seems to me that the formations there are more delicate. It's more complicated and naturally more powerful. I think the monsters that were once imprisoned in Little Lotus Lake are more powerful than those imprisoned here. And one thing is different, I heard that the Little Lotus Lake is a spiritual monster. The place where the spiritual veins gather is different from here. In my opinion, this is not the place where the spiritual veins gather. On the contrary, with this small mountain as the center, it is a place where the spiritual veins gush out from the ground. , is the base from which spiritual veins emanate.”
At this time, no one except Qian Chao understood the idea of the place where spiritual veins diverge, so Tang Ping said, "Please explain it more carefully."
"Well, it's just that the spiritual veins that were originally underground rushed out from the bottom up on this hill."
After saying this, several people will understand.
"But this place is different from other earthly spirits pulsing out of the ground. Others are like underground rivers flowing out of the ground. Even if they are only revealed in low-lying places, they are not obtrusive at all. Only here, that It seems to me that the earth's spiritual veins turned a sharp bend underground and then rushed straight out from here. Therefore, I suspect that this place where the spiritual veins emanate is not natural. I had to look carefully before I discovered the clues in this underground place. Alas, I don’t know when the powerful people from the past arranged a formation according to the spiritual veins running underground, and they actually forced the ground to move. The spiritual veins changed their course, from running almost straight to the ground to exiting vertically upwards, just like changing the underground river into a fountain, it is really sighing."
"Then...what does it have to do with the monster here?"
"Of course it does matter. There is more than one formation below. The first formation is to redirect the earth's spiritual pulse. The second formation is set around the monster's body. When the spiritual pulse comes out of the ground, it penetrates The entire monster's body, if there is no second formation, maybe not only will the monster not be imprisoned, but it will feel very useful."
"You're too verbose, please tell me!"
"This second formation covers this monster. In other words, those powerful men at the beginning arranged the second formation based on the monster's huge body, allowing the spiritual veins coming from the underground to pass through. After absorbing the huge body of this monster, it was divided into five smaller spiritual veins, and then spread to various places."
When he said this, Qian Chao pointed at the five surrounding peaks.
"The five peaks around here are also part of the second formation. It is this second formation that allows the spiritual veins coming from the underground to be divided into five strands and go in five different directions."
Qian Chao looked at the five surrounding peaks at this time, his eyes full of admiration for the ancestors who had originally arranged these formations.
"But..." Tang Ping naturally didn't understand. "Even if the earth's spiritual veins are divided into five small spiritual veins here, so what, how can the monsters inside be trapped?"
"This is the wonderful thing about the second formation. As I said just now, the second formation is actually arranged according to the monster's huge body. This monster is part of the second formation. That place The spirit veins continuously gush out, and the monster's huge body is divided into five parts. These five parts naturally include the spiritual energy generated by the monster itself. This monster is very powerful, if not Trapped by this formation, the spiritual energy in its body is so full that we can hardly imagine it, but no matter how strong it is, it cannot be compared with an earthly spiritual vein. The second formation divides the earthly spiritual veins that come out into gold, There are five types of wood, water, fire, and earth. In this process, the monster's own spiritual energy is also enveloped by the powerful spiritual energy of the earth's spiritual veins and is divided into five corresponding parts. They rush out of the ground and spread out. No matter how much spiritual energy it can regenerate in its body later, it will still be taken away by the underground spiritual veins without any reservation or resistance. That is, from the moment the formation is arranged, it will I can no longer use any spiritual energy in my body.”
Tang Ping asked in disbelief: "In other words, this is how the monsters here are trapped in this formation alive?"
Qian Chao sighed and said: "Yes, that's generally the case, but there are many details in this formation. I can understand it roughly, but if I want to see it all... I still can't do it now."
After saying that, Qian Chao smiled to himself.
"Is this... using spiritual veins to suppress monsters?" Li Jian asked after hearing the general idea.
"Yes, it's just like..." Qian Chao thought for a while and thought about how to describe this formation vividly. "It's like under a waterfall, where the water rushes down the fastest and most violently. Even the fish It cannot survive. If you put the fish in an iron cage and put it there, the fish will be unbearable and will eventually die. If the iron cage is big enough, put a big fish in it and let the big fish endure the waterfall. The current is constantly impacting and scouring, but it cannot escape, so it can only endure it and let the current take away all the power from it. Now this monster is the big fish, this formation is the iron cage that traps it, and the rushing water is the iron cage that traps it. The earthly spiritual vein that comes out is the endless waterfall, so it will be trapped here and dying."
After saying this, several people probably understood it, and couldn't help but look at the hills around them.
Looking at the hill and thinking about what Qian Chao said, Yanxuan couldn't help but said: "How pitiful! I don't know how long this guy has been lying in this mountain?"
"Lie down?" Qian Chao was a little surprised when he heard this. He then thought that he had not made it clear, so he smiled and said again, "Sister Yan, that guy is not lying down at all. It is... well... just like standing." , the head and the feet, the small hill we saw, actually only has its head inside, its body is almost entirely underground."
"What!"
Tang Ping was shocked!
Li Jian opened his eyes wide in shock and looked at the hill with a look of shock.
Yanxuan stared at Qian Chao blankly, unable to believe what he said.
Lu Pingchuan scratched his head, not believing that there was such a big thing!
In fact, the four of them just listened to Qian Chao's explanation about this formation and the heaven and earth cage. If it weren't for his metaphor of the big fish and the waterfall at the end, the four of them would not have understood it at all. I understand what's going on, but the hill about a hundred feet in front of me can only accommodate one head of the monster. If this monster stood on the ground, its body would be so huge!
"You...are you telling the truth?"
Tang Ping asked in disbelief, why did he always see big guys when he came out this time? The big skull in his storage bag was big enough, but he didn't expect that compared with the guy in front of him, it was as big as a tree root. Just like a small grass.
"That's right, if that guy can stand up, it will probably be that big," Qian Chao said, looking around and pointing at a mountain peak with his hand. "But if it walks on all fours, it will be bigger." It’s much shorter, but it still has to be halfway up the mountain.”
No one spoke for a while, and a few people's eyes only switched between this small mountain and the surrounding peaks.
The four of them had no doubts about Qian Chao's words. There were always huge things in this world, and the big skull discovered earlier was proof.
"I really didn't expect that there is such a big thing in the world." Li Jian said and shook his head. In his perception, the dangerous aura in the hill was dying, but it was still extremely powerful. Such a powerful existence could be defeated. Surrender, and then be trapped here with no way to escape or die. How powerful must the abilities of those ancestors back then be? Will I be able to use that ability one day?
The so-called monsters are actually just unknown monsters. Tang Ping has always thought so, but the huge monster in the hill is now far beyond her imagination. With her knowledge about spiritual beasts, she knows that since she is trapped , then it must be this guy's true form that is trapped, but... the true form is so huge, beyond imagination, it seems that I still have a lot to learn!
What Yanxuan thought was that people were too insignificant in front of such a powerful existence. Later, she thought about what this monster had done to be trapped here?
"Isn't it just a little big?" Lu Pingchuan didn't care. "No matter how big it is, it's still trapped. Maybe in the future, a few of us can catch such a big guy, and then dig a hole to trap it." Buried!"
"Then...how long has it been trapped here?" Yanxuan asked Qian Chao.
"It's hard to say," Qian Chao said thoughtfully, "I always feel that the hillside in front of me is gentle. It seems that the wind has blown sand and stones over the years and has been blocked by the big head exposed on the ground. It has accumulated naturally. It was made, think about it, how long it took!”
"If we extrapolate this, I'm afraid it will be the time of the 'Cross-Sea Battle' again? Or even the 'Millennium War', I don't know. Go back and ask the elders to see if they know anything." Tang Ping said.
Qian Chao smiled, pointed at the five peaks and said: "These five peaks are not natural. There are small formations in each mountain, and there are more than one. The main function is to protect, protect what we have." The second formation mentioned is not damaged. This is a large formation composed of many formations. Today is really an eye-opener and I have benefited a lot!"
Tang Ping asked: "Then what is the use of these formations?"
Qian Chao thought for a while: "For example, in the future, after we build the foundation, we can also open our own cave. Then we can use the formation to redirect the nearby spiritual veins and flow through our cave. Wouldn't this be beneficial to our cultivation? Is it better? There are many other uses, but you have to calm down and think about it after you go back before you can use it."
This was the beginning of the "Spirit Drawing Technique", and Qian Chao's future power in the world also started from this day. Based on what he saw today in this heaven and earth prison and what he would learn in the future, Qian Chao created an original method of using people to form an array. When he encountered When the opponent was so powerful that even Li Jian could not defeat him, Qian Chao used the local spiritual veins at that time to set up his own formation and draw the powerful spiritual energy in the spiritual veins for his own use, although he had to withstand the powerful spiritual energy invading his body in a short period of time. , but in just a few breaths of time, his cultivation level was almost able to rise to a higher level, breaking the saying that "only sword cultivators can kill people beyond the level".
It's enough that Qian Chao has seen the Heaven and Earth Prison. The other four people are almost waiting beside him, but it's not in vain. After all, Qian Chao's harvest is quite generous. This is enough. Moreover, nearby There are spiritual grasses on the five surrounding peaks that have not yet been picked. It is getting late at this time, and those spiritual grasses can only be left to be picked tomorrow, because I always feel that this heaven and earth cage is not a good place to practice, even if the spiritual energy here is rich. It was not reassuring, so the five of them flew away that night and found a cleaner cave to spend the night.
At night, Qian Chao stared at the formations he had written on the paper during the day under the lamp, and thought slowly, while Tang Ping next to him was holding the portrait of the monster drawn by Qian Chao. Look carefully.
After all, most of the runes were unfamiliar to him. Qian Chao looked at them for a while and found them very difficult, but suddenly he remembered something, so he took out the map from his storage bag and looked at it.
"What are you doing?"
Tang Ping asked after seeing him.
"There are more places like this than this one," Qian Chao said, "I remember there are several places, and because they were deliberately hidden on the map within the sect, I think such a place will actually be More."
"Is there such a place?" Yanxuan, who was carefully picking up the spiritual grass, asked in surprise.
"Well, there are quite a few." Qian Chao said and pointed on the map, "Here, and here, well, here too..."
In this way, he pointed out seven or eight places on the map in succession.
Li Jian asked in confusion: "Why are there so many? Why didn't the seniors just kill these guys if they caught them in the past, and why did they still spend so much effort to set up formations and trap them?"
"Tang Ping said in Little Lotus Lake that the monsters trapped there cannot be killed. Since they cannot be killed, they can only be locked up. That's why this heaven and earth cage exists."
After hearing this, Tang Ping said: "Well, this is indeed the case in the stories I heard, but they are all legends from an unknown age."
Qian Chao turned to Tang Ping and asked, "What kind of monster can't be killed?"
Tang Ping thought for a while and said: "At least it is at the level of a true spiritual beast. The big wolf I told you when I found the big skull can't be killed, even if there is really something more powerful than it." People cut it in two with a sword or burn it to ashes, but after a while it can re-condensate into shape. It is impossible to kill such an existence unless its own life span is exhausted. "
After finishing speaking, Tang Ping added: "Of course, these are what I saw in the book."
"If that's the case, then the people trapped in the heaven and earth cage we found should be of that level. I don't know how long they were trapped, but they are still alive."
Tang Ping nodded and said: "That's probably it."
"Since you are a true spiritual beast, and you don't know that thing, is it possible that what is trapped is not something that is native to Central Continent?"
"You mean the ones trapped are alien monsters?"
"right."
"This is possible. If so, it should have been imprisoned after the 'Battle across the sea'. And there are several such places on your map. If those are the prisons of this world, That means there are quite a few guys who have been caught but cannot be killed. With such things participating in the battle, I think the battle between the monks must have been extremely tragic!"
Li Jian on the side suddenly said: "It's really exciting, but it's a pity that we can't see such a battle situation."
Qian Chao and Tang Ping looked at each other and smiled.
"Actually, I have another idea. The Heaven and Earth Cage discovered today is composed of many formations. A single formation will not be a Heaven and Earth Cage in any case, but, look."
Qian Chao said and pointed at the map again.
"There are many such places on the map, at least this many have been discovered. I always wonder if there will be any more powerful formations made up of these heaven and earth cages one by one?"
"Isn't it possible?" Tang Ping looked at the map, "These places are too far away."
Qian Chao's statement made Li Jian curiously come to the map and look at it.
"Don't forget the small hill today. There are five spiritual veins emanating from there. Although I am not sure that the spiritual veins in these places are all connected together, but since the spiritual veins can emanate from there, then they can be connected. It's not impossible to be together... It's just a pity that there are only a few that can be found. If we can find them all, and then determine the directions of their spiritual veins, maybe we can find something."
"Then...what's the use of this?" Tang Ping asked.
"Look, the arrangement of these already known places seems to have some rules. Again, it's a pity that they are not complete. If I could see them all..." Qian Chao pondered for a moment, "I always feel that these cages of heaven and earth are It seems to be providing spiritual veins for a larger formation."
"Where is the spiritual vein provided? Could it be within our sect?"
"Of course not. I have seen a glimpse of the spiritual veins in the sect. They are much stronger than this. Speaking of which, I have always suspected that there is an unimaginable huge formation in the sect."
Tang Ping said: "I think you are a little dizzy with thoughts. Could it be that there is a monster imprisoned under Tianshui Lake in our sect?"
Qian Chao said: "It may not be under Tianshui Lake, it may be on Yuhu Mountain."
"Nonsense. That's where the ancestors practiced. How can it be a place where monsters are imprisoned?"
"Why not? Maybe it's because the monster is so powerful that it was personally guarded by the ancestors. By the way, they practiced there."
Tang Ping shook her head angrily and ignored Qian Chao.
Li Jian and Yan Xuan were stunned after hearing this, and they didn't know where Qian Chao's idea came from.
"It's possible, eh, it's really possible," Lu Pingchuan said. The person in front of him didn't understand, but the person behind him did. "Think about it, since there are so many monkeys on Yuhu Mountain, there must be a very powerful one among them. The monkeys need to be watched by the ancestors every day, so as not to run down and cause trouble. Think about how hateful those monkeys were when the immortal was fishing!"
After a night, after dawn, the five people returned to the five peaks. Now Qian Chao no longer had to stare at the small mountains in a daze. The main thing for the day was to pick the spiritual grass on the five peaks. Walk.
Although there is no need to worry about the intrusion of monsters here, the amount of spiritual grass on the five mountains is staggering. It took nearly two days for five people to help. Although Yanxuan was tired, he looked at the storage bag The abundance of spiritual herbs of good quality made the trip worthwhile.
