"Are you on the third floor?"
"right."
In the pavilion, Mu Qing squinted and recalled what he saw along the way. When he said he was here, he turned his head and looked at the sunshine outside the court, and said in a deep voice: "It's very quiet and cold in there. And the coldness is in line with the seasons. The cold and heat are completely different, it’s a sticky, chest-swelling cold.”
Suzaku thought deeply: "Since the people on the first level are more powerful than those on the second level, does the third level only hold ordinary people with no cultivation level?"
Mu Qing retracted his gaze, shook his head and said: "No, I walked a long distance, but I didn't even see anyone. Of course, this should be because my eyesight is limited. No matter where I go, I can only see three feet. The reason is far away.”
"What did you see within those three feet?" The four people in the pavilion, except Huai Fenghua who got some information from Mu Qing in advance, Wang Yeqing was also curious about the underground prison in Andingfang, and said: "So If your ability can only see a distance of three feet, I suspect that there is some kind of advanced formation set up on the third floor."
Mu Qing muttered: "There is flowing mist everywhere. Other than that, I can't see anything."
He accidentally entered it and kept silent all the way to the third floor. Naturally, it was impossible to raise his voice and shout loudly. He recalled: "There was flowing mist everywhere. The mist could only reach my chest. I walked straight forward for at least ten years." Zhang, even the iron door of the cell was not hit. I really don’t know how big this third floor will be..."
Suzaku said: "It should be the formation without a doubt. If everyone were here with formations like Xuanwu, they would probably be able to ask for some different details. Well... have you noticed the direction of the flow of the mist?"
Mu Qing shook his head and raised his eyebrows and said: "The fog I saw was actually just a feeling I had. Looking around, except for the floor under my feet, the space was all deep and silent black. Even the floor was black. I did think about launching an attack and looking three feet away, but in the end I gave up on this plan."
"Since you can feel that the mist is flowing, you must not have gained anything." Wang Yeqing said.
"Well, I have said that it is a very uncomfortable cold. The more you walk forward, the more obvious the depressing feeling becomes. But after trying it a few times, I found that in different directions, the feeling is different. The chill is different.”
Hearing this, even Suzaku, who had been sitting lazily, straightened his back a lot and showed a solemn expression: "Xuanwu often said that after entering a formation such as blindfolding, all your eyes see is miasma. Look carefully, and depending on the difference in the coldness, you can probably find the right direction."
At this point, she asked Mu Qing the result with her eyes.
Mu Qing sighed softly: "I only stayed inside for more than twenty breaths, and I couldn't find the source of the coldness."
When Wang Yeqing heard this, he smiled apologetically: "Maybe you were worried about my safety, but you lost such a great opportunity."
Mu Qing did not deny it, but still added: "In this short period of time, my Qi movement was affected, and even in the end, my thinking and emotions were somewhat wrong."
Mu Qing raised his head and glanced at the three women. He saw that they all had solemn expressions in their eyes. It was obvious that as Mu Qing spoke, he felt like he was on the scene. He said in a deep voice: "That was a kind of extreme depression." , I just want the unbridled feeling of doing things casually.”
"This is definitely not a maze! It can affect your mind. The level of this formation has probably reached the earth level."
After Suzaku finished speaking, he saw Mu Qing's eyes revealing his thoughts, and added some knowledge of cultivation for him: "The formation method is based on the power of heaven, earth and people. If you have a map of the formation method, it will be easier to get started, but if you want to get more advanced, it may be more difficult than alchemy and alchemy. Refining qi is even more difficult. And formations are divided into four levels, heaven, earth, xuan, and yellow. Even with Xuanwu's ability, it is difficult to arrange an earth-level formation."
Having said this, Suzaku looked at Huaifenghua: "For example, the spirit mist formation in Ten Thousand Flower Valley should be a kind of ground-level defensive formation, which is enough to affect the monks in the True Self Realm."
At this time, Huaifenghua lowered her eyes and lowered her eyebrows, recalling the records in the valley, and said softly: "There seem to be four types of formations according to their uses: killing formation, defense formation, trapping formation, and gathering formation. And if different basic formations can be combined with each other, Chiming, and having the power of back-increasing, Bai Hao couldn't find a formation master like Xuanwu, so he would have taken such a tricky path, allowing several formations to be superimposed on each other to achieve the effect of the earth-level formation. "
Mu Qing's eyes lit up, and the girls were just thinking and talking, but he felt that with such brainstorming, he was getting closer to the truth, and suddenly a question came to his mind: "What does Bai Hao want to do when he sets up such a big formation on the third floor of the Tianlao?" What to do?”
Wang Yeqing's narrowed eyes flashed with light, and he smiled: "If you want to know his intentions, you must first know the purpose of this formation. A possibility suddenly occurred to me, is this formation used by him for practice?"
"Practice?" Suzaku asked strangely. In her impression, Xuanwu abandoned his practice because he was addicted to formations.
At their current level, which pays more attention to enlightenment, the use of formations to gather spiritual energy is already minimal. If there is really a formation that can help extraordinary monks advance to the next level, it will definitely be more impressive than a Taoist weapon. I'm jealous, can Bai Hao come into contact with this formation?
As soon as Mu Qingjing was reminded by Wang Yeqing, he immediately remembered the scene of the fight with Bai Hao in the inner city. He frowned at Wang Yeqing and said, "Madam, are you talking about his kind of sorcery?"
"Yes." Wang Yeqing said with a twinkle in his narrow eyes: "If I hadn't returned to Suzaku, my influence on Bai Hao would still have been more than ten years ago. At that time, his cultivation level was only the second level of spiritual life. I once I’ve been paying attention to him for a while, and it’s weird that he has mediocre qualifications, but he can reach the peak of the mid-transcendent stage in just a dozen years.”
Although there was a Suzaku sitting in the pavilion who was younger than her, but was already at the mortal level, but even Suzaku himself did not feel that there was a problem with this analysis, because the countless skeletons in the deep mountains and swamps of southern Xinjiang had already proven , the survival of the fittest in Hidden Valley is so harsh and inhumane. As one of the five Hidden Killers, Suzaku's talent has always made him stand out from the crowd.
But what is different now is that there is a real oddity Mu Qing in the pavilion.
In the eyes of several women, in just a few months, Mu Qing has had many adventures, and the changes in his strength can be described as world-wide differences. So when Wang Yeqing put forward his own point of view, the three women thought about it carefully and all looked at it. he.
Suzaku asked directly: "You have had many adventures, have you ever heard of any formations that can help us practice in this realm?"
"There must be some, but I didn't think to ask that person." Mu Qing thought about waiting for the opportunity to ask Meng Zhang, looked at Suzaku, shook his head and said, "I don't know this formation either, but Wang Madam’s idea is absolutely correct.”
"His state was too weird. His body was so huge that he was more than three heads taller than me. He was also covered in karma fire. I tried my best to pierce his heart, but his recovery ability was amazing and he was not affected much."
Zhuque pondered for a moment, glanced at Mu Qing and said: "Physiques in the world are divided into innate and acquired. A physique like his with endless vitality and strong resilience is somewhat similar to some acquired water attribute spirits, but his karma fire It's obvious that he has gone crazy, I really wonder how he can stay sane?"
"He really can't stay rational, and he probably doesn't have such a mild water-type physique."
Wang Yeqing's voice attracted everyone's attention, and she said in a deep voice: "When I fought with him, he was even bigger, with blood vessels all over his body, filled with the power of qi and blood, and seemed to be some kind of smelting qi and blood. The method of body refining.”
Wang Yeqing's eyes swept over the crowd steadily, and his voice was methodical: "The reason why I concluded that this is a sorcery from the beginning is because the attacks I received had different qi and blood powers!"
Mu Qing's brows jumped sharply. When he fought with Bai Hao, Bai Hao burned his own essence and blood, but he ignored this detail.
"The power of blood...the body becomes bigger..." Huaifenghua repeated in her heart, suddenly remembered something, and said in a low voice: "I guessed it, he practiced a forbidden technique left by Wuzong... The Blood Demon body!"
"The body of the blood demon?" The three of them looked at Huaifenghua in surprise.
Huaifenghua took a sip of herbal tea and said calmly: "Emperor Wuzong of the Bai clan once created a forbidden technique on the battlefield, which is the body of the blood demon."
Emperor Wuzong was from seven or eight hundred years ago. The monks have excellent memories, but if they weren't from the Bai family, they probably wouldn't be able to come into contact with such secrets...
Huaifenghua glanced at the three of them one by one. Zhuque and Wang Yeqing were obviously confirming the comparison in their memories. Only Mu Qing had a pair of clear eyes, and she looked at each other with a calm smile and said: "This kind of secret, my aunt ran to the forbidden palace." Have you gone there?"
Huaifenghua knew that Mu Qing was joking, so she glared at him and said, "I also accidentally saw the record when I was flipping through books in my father's study when I was a child. At that time, I was very curious about this forbidden technique."
"I almost forgot that your last name was Bai before." Suzaku looked at Huaifenghua and asked, "Then do you have any impression of the cultivation method of this blood demon body?"
Huaifenghua shook his head and said: "I remember this name because it was during Wu Zong's life that it was difficult to create his own forbidden techniques without attracting attention. As for the specific cultivation methods, they have always been kept in the imperial palace's forbidden vault. , I think Bai Hao is highly respected by Emperor Bai, so he might have obtained this forbidden technique."
Wang Yeqing looked at the problem from a different angle and said thoughtfully: "The so-called forbidden arts are actually very illustrative of the problem. There may be no distinction between good and evil in forbidden arts, but those who learned them did. Emperor Wu Zong seemed to be in the prime of his power. He died young, could it be related to this forbidden technique?"
Suzaku muttered: "The body of the blood demon...just the name seems abnormal. The path of smelting qi and blood has been determined, but if we want to combine Bai Hao's practice with the formation on the third level of Tianlao, how can we no……"
Suzaku's voice turned cold: "Did Bai Hao kill many innocent people?"
