This is an endless grassland with almost no trees as far as the eye can see.
This place is a unique sight in the Wuling Sect. The green grass growing close to the ground undulates like green waves along with the low and gentle hills on the ground. The endless green extends towards the distant sky. It's like a vast green sea, and the place where Qian Chao and the five of them are is also strange. This is the lowest point in the entire green sea, just like the five of them are in the center of a large whirlpool.
The green brocade-like grass is dotted with bright flowers of various colors. Hidden in the grass are various spiritual herbs that make Yanxuan extremely happy. Lu Pingchuan and Li Jianshou watch Yanxuan picking the spiritual herbs, while Tang Ping Then he hung his body in the air and looked at the tide of money below.
There are several book desks placed on the flat ground on the grass. Behind each desk is a Qian Chao sitting upright, and each Qian Chao is concentrating on holding a pen and writing and drawing on the paper in front of him. In addition, there was Qian Chao who was also hanging at a low place, his eyes staring down with a burning blue light.
Since having this incarnation talisman, Qian Chao's work has become much simpler. We can use a joking analogy: Qian Chao is standing at the door of his residence. In front of the door, a group of charming and beautiful women pass by and ask Qian Chao. Asking how to get to a certain place, Qian Chao was humble and polite on the surface but his heart was beating wildly. He suppressed the excitement in his chest and pointed the direction to these women in an elegant and decent manner. He only took a moment to answer each question. Then those women bowed and left, leaving Qian Chao standing there feeling lost. But in this short period of time, in Qian Chao's room, several Qian Chao's fake bodies had already captured those beauties. The charming figures and figures are all left on the paper with pen and ink, so that they can be taken out in the future when Qian Chao is lonely to relieve his longing!
Of course this is just a joke, but similar things are happening.
The place where they were was exactly the location of a heaven and earth cage identified by Qian Chao. This had been confirmed by Li Jian, and the other three people had also discovered that even half a monster could be found in such a vast place. You can't see it, which shows that it is the aura of ferocious beasts underground here that prevents all the monsters from far and near from approaching. At this time, Qian Chao was using his Blue Eyes Technique to carefully look at the situation of the banned beast deep in the soil below, and the various formations that banned the beast were being destroyed one by one by his fake bodies. drawn on paper. In the first heaven and earth cage they found, where Taotie was sealed, Qian Chao looked at it for a while and then wrote and drew for a while, and so on. But now with the help of this incarnation talisman, as long as Qian Chao sees it, The several fake bodies over there will record all those formations at the same time.
"Boy Qian," it was somewhat boring to stay like this, so Tang Ping asked Qian Chao, "What ferocious beast is banned down here?"
Qian Chao below raised his head. Identifying monsters and ferocious beasts was not his specialty, but it was not difficult. Qian Chao raised his head and said:
"Hold on."
Then he flew over to the book desks. After Qian Chao flew over, one of his fake bodies had already handed over a piece of paper. In a short period of time, this fake body passed the paper deep in the soil. The appearance of the ferocious beast was drawn.
Qian Chao frowned and looked at the paper in his hand, then handed it to Tang Ping who had already flown in front of him:
"What...is this? You should recognize it, right?"
What is painted on the paper is like a ferocious tiger that is curled up and lying down. The head is like a tiger, but it has a pair of large curved horns. In the painting, the head of the tiger is bent to the side, its eyes are closed, and its four sides are closed. The claws were folded, but there was actually a pair of large wings on the tiger's back that were also folded together. Although it was painted by a fake person, the painting skills were still that of Qian Chao himself, so the tiger with wings on its back was painted so lifelike that Tang Ping watched it and even worried that the tiger on the paper would turn its head to look like her the next moment. Staring at it, there was no doubt that she had recognized what kind of beast it was.
"Qiong...Qiongqi!"
Tang Ping felt that her throat was a little dry, but she didn't expect that the one who was locked and sleeping beneath her feet was actually the ferocious beast Qiongqi!
"Oh, this is Qiongqi?" Qian Chao couldn't help but look at the piece of paper again.
After recording the formations of the heaven and earth cage here, the next step is the extremely cumbersome process of locating the spiritual veins here. None of the companions can help with this matter, so the four of them sat next to a book table to rest. While watching the money tides coming and going, around them, seven or eight money tides were rising and falling, each with a dense group of talismans following them like a flock of birds. Of course, next to the desk next to these four people, there is another person who is not sure whether it is the real Qian Chao or Qian Chao, who is writing fast at the desk. There are several pens on the desk, and ink cartridges of various colors are also arranged one by one. You can see That Qian Chao frequently changed the pen in his hand like threading a needle and drew lines of different colors on the paper.
…
This happened three times in a few days.
In other words, Qian Chao and others found a total of three heaven and earth cages around Jianzhong Mountain, and if these three places are regarded as a "pin", then Jianzhong Mountain is at the center of this "pin" superior.
When the night was getting dark, under the lamp in the hiding place, Qian Chao was staring at the paper in his hand in trance, and Tang Ping was also looking at the paintings Qian Chao had drawn for her in the past few days.
Yanxuan was sorting out the spiritual herbs harvested in the past few days. When he saw the paper in Tang Ping's hand, he curiously went over to look at it, and then asked:
"What is this, a tiger?"
"This painting is of Qiongqi, the ferocious beast sealed in the heaven and earth cage that we found on that grassland a few days ago." Tang Ping replied.
"Why does the tiger still have a pair of horns on its head?" Lu Pingchuan also saw the painting clearly.
"Well, that's what the ferocious beast Qiongqi looks like. It's unmistakable. I heard from my master that Qiongqi is not only a ferocious beast, but also an evil beast. It doesn't like upright and kind people, hates good deeds, and only likes people with whom it belongs. The evil people stay together, and whenever those evil people go out to do evil, it will reward them and encourage them to continue to do evil. Of course, this is just a legend. The real Qiongqi is cruel and easy to kill. It does not distinguish between good and evil and will devour them once it meets them. Get down!"
"It turns out to be such a guy." Hearing this, Yanxuan also became interested and asked again, "Didn't Brother Qian find three places in total? How about two more?"
Tang Ping took out another piece of paper and said:
"Hey, this is Zhu Yan. He looks like a monkey, but he is an extremely cruel beast. Well, Qian Boy uses black ink. In fact, Zhu Yan has a white head and bare feet, but his feet are red. Yes, it is said that wherever this guy appears, there will be bloody disputes for thousands of miles. I don’t know how this guy was banned in our sect.”
At this time, Li Jian was also interested after hearing this, so he took the two pieces of paper and read them for a while, then asked:
"There is one last place. What kind of beast is there?"
Tang Ping took out the last painting painted by Qian Chao and said:
"The ferocious beast painted here is named Fei..."
"Hey, isn't this a big cow?" Lu Pingchuan said, "Uh... No, why is it one eye?"
"There's more than just one eye. Look carefully. Well, for the same reason, Qian Xiaozi uses all black ink. In fact, Fei's head is white, with only one eye in the middle of his forehead. His horns are as twisted as a dead tree, and his body is as huge as a barren mountain. Look at its tail. Mr. Qian drew it very carefully. It looks like a snake. The snake's head should be hidden under its belly. The biggest feature of Fei is that it can see the snake's tail at a glance. Its tail is a highly venomous snake. In the world of spiritual practice, the real The monks who have seen Fei probably either ascended to immortality or died. All that remains are legends. It is said that Fei is an extremely poisonous beast. When it enters water, the water will be exhausted, and when it touches grass, the grass will wither. Wherever it passes, it will be infected with highly poisonous diseases. There will be no more souls in this world.”
"So awesome!" Lu Pingchuan said.
These three heaven and earth cages for banning ferocious beasts were all determined by Qian Chaozai after carefully studying all the map information at hand before he came out. They were based on the knowledge of spiritual veins passed down to him by Mr. Zhuang. Of course, there are also He had to rely on the maps with the distribution of spiritual veins given to him by Tang Bonian. Every time he found a heaven and earth cage, Qian Chao would ask Li Jian to confirm it. Li Jian clearly remembered what he sensed in the heaven and earth cage where Taotie was banned, and in the three places Qian Chao found, they all There is a very similar but completely different feeling. The very similar feeling means that the aura there is extremely powerful. It is so powerful that if such a ferocious beast is really in front of the five people, it will be a kind of despair and nothing can be done. Situation; and being completely different means that after all, the ferocious beasts banned in each heaven and earth cage are different.
The prison of heaven and earth that sealed off Qiongqi was at the lowest point in the middle of a large grassland.
The heaven and earth cage where Zhu Yan is imprisoned is located in a jumble of rocks.
The heaven and earth cage where Fei is banned is a tidal flat where evil water flows.
The five of them had almost made a big circle around Jianzhong Mountain in the past few days. Li Jian looked at the three pieces of paper in his hand, thinking about the frightening feeling in his heart every time he entered the prison of heaven and earth, and sighed. road:
"If that gentle man could really release all three of these ferocious beasts, well, let alone three, even one would be a catastrophe to our sect!"
After hearing Li Jian's words, Tang Ping thought of something and asked:
"Boy Qian, did you find Wen Liang's hands or feet moved in these three cages of heaven and earth?"
This is a key question. After all, the five of them did not come out this time to determine the location of the heaven and earth cage.
Qian Chao raised his head from his desk and said:
"Indeed, I found some clues in the Heaven and Earth Cage where Qiongqi and Zhu Yan were banned. It should be the method used by Wen Liang and others to deal with our sect. The so-called manipulation does not mean directly destroying the formation in the Heaven and Earth Cage. That would be extremely difficult to do on the one hand, and on the other hand, if the formation there was really destroyed, the ferocious beasts would immediately emerge from the ground and cause trouble to our Five Spirits Sect. The manipulations I mentioned were arranged at the cage that day. Other formations, if that formation is activated, will destroy the formation that seals the ferocious beasts. This is a way to break the formation with formations, so that the ferocious beasts can also be awakened, and it is more convenient for those who do these things. Safe. Well, in the past few days, I have found formations with similar effects in Zhu Yan and Qiongqi’s Heaven and Earth Cage. But what makes me feel strange is that from the perspective of the way the formations are arranged, there is no difference between the two formations. There should be a considerable age difference..."
"Oh, how do you know this?" Tang Ping asked puzzledly.
"Look," Qian Chao said, taking a blank piece of paper, drew two runes on it and showed them to his four companions, "Do these two runes look very different?"
The two runes on the paper did look very different. At first glance, they couldn't be the same runes. The four people stared at the paper and nodded.
"But in fact, these two runes are just variations of the same rune, and they were written a long time ago. Both of these runes mean 'cut', and their function is to cut off spiritual veins and spiritual energy. Run, but these two ways of writing runes are no longer used. Today's 'cut' is like this..."
As he spoke, Qian Chao drew another rune on the paper, which was much simpler than the two above. After showing it, Qian Chao continued:
"The first two 'cut' runes are not only very old, but they are also many years apart from each other. When I first found this formation in the heaven and earth cage where Qiongqi was banned, I thought that this formation was The method was left behind by the ancestors who had banned Qiongqi, but I immediately felt that this idea was wrong, because the runes used in the heaven and earth cage formation were older, and the formations of the three heaven and earth cages could be considered to be from the same era. Yes, there is no such formation in the heaven and earth cage where Fei is banned, so I suspect that this formation was arranged there later by someone. This is evidence of manipulation of the heaven and earth cage. In addition, these two formations , at least in my opinion, it cannot be arranged by someone with Qi cultivation like Wen Liang. It is like watching someone else write. As soon as he starts writing, you can know how strong the person is and how long he has been immersed in calligraphy. After setting up the formation, just by looking at it, I can probably guess what the cultivation level of the person who arranged the formation was at that time. In my opinion, those two formations should have been made by the Danjie monks, so I still I suspected that Wen Liang was planning to be detrimental to our Five Spirits Sect. Perhaps he had a more powerful ally, perhaps an elder in our sect. However, after careful consideration, he rejected this idea because the two things he discovered had a destructive effect. The age of this formation has long exceeded the lifespan of a pill-forming monk, which means..."
"That is to say, some people have always thought of using this method to harm the Five Spirits Sect in the past, but they never succeeded in the end, right?" Tang Ping said.
Qian Chao nodded and said:
"Yes, this at least shows that in the past, there was someone who had the same thoughts as Wen Liang, and he was not weak in cultivation. At least he had deep attainments in formations. Such a person was probably an elder in the sect at that time. , but it was such a guy who wanted to be detrimental to the Five Spirits Sect, so he left a destructive formation in the heaven and earth cage, but they did not activate it for some reason. It was probably because the matter was revealed and they escaped or were The sect has been eliminated, but the tricks they did back then have remained... For some reason Wen Liang also knows this. What he wants to do is to use the things left by his predecessors, and even go one step further to use the nine sects outside the sect. All the ferocious beasts in the cages of heaven and earth are awakened, so that they can cause devastating damage to the Five Spirits Sect."
Tang Ping asked with some confusion:
"But...since the two formations you discovered were left behind who knows how long ago, what does that have to do with Wen Liang?"
Qian Chao replied:
"Of course, these two formations are actually broken formations, either old or destroyed. There are already missing runes in that formation, but now someone has completed them, and It should have been not long ago, because the runes used to complete the formation are what the current practice world uses. Well, although the method is a bit clumsy, the formation is still useful. It must have been done by those Wen Liang people. .”
"That's it." Tang Ping nodded.
Li Jian asked a little puzzledly:
"According to Brother Qian, at least Wen Liang can destroy two heaven and earth cages now, so how can he awaken these two ferocious beasts at the same time?"
What Li Jian meant was that Wen Liang should not wake up one vicious beast first, and then run to wake up the second one. Doing so might not only cause him harm by the vicious beast, but also the five spirits who came after hearing the news. The elders stopped him halfway, after all, the movement of the ferocious beast was very likely to attract the Danjie elders.
"Jianzhong Mountain," Qian Chao said, "In the past few days, I have relied on the knowledge of spiritual veins and formations to deduce that there must be key arrangements in Jianzhong Mountain. The reason why the formation that destroys the heaven and earth cage has been delayed. It is activated because there are restrictions in the formation. Well, it is like a rope tied to the crossbow machines of several crossbows at the same time. As long as the rope is pulled, several crossbows will be launched at the same time. The ferocious beast Zhu Yan is equivalent to a crossbow, and so is Qiongqi. I don’t know if there are more ferocious beasts yet, and in my opinion this rope is in Jianzhong Mountain. If you find this rope, following it can not only Finding all the crossbows and cutting them off will almost destroy Wen Liang's entire plan."
"Boy Qian, there is one more thing," Tang Ping said, "Don't forget that Wen Liang is still thinking of dealing with us, and don't forget that we came out and arranged a lot of traps for them. If you really have someone in Jianzhong Mountain, What we have discovered is that of course it should be destroyed for the sake of the sect, but we should also think about how to use Jianzhong Mountain to let Wen Liang and the others know the news and come out in panic to deal with us. Only in this way can he enter us. trap."
Qian Chao suddenly smiled and said:
"Don't worry, of course I will remember this. We must make good use of it at Jianzhong Mountain to make Wen Liang suffer a big loss!"
