"I'm going to practice!"
After setting up the formation, Lu Zhu said angrily and ran into the back room without coming out again.
Xiang Shu did not follow him in, but straightened his robes and sat down cross-legged at the edge of the formation at the door.
The room was covered by a formation and the light was dim. She lit the oil lamp and took out the gold paper to continue studying.
She had a strong intuition that the sect was going to take action against the casual cultivators, and once they took action, the battle would not be small.
After setting up these three formations, Lu Zhu felt that she was making a fuss and wasting resources, but she felt that it was not enough.
The monks led by the sect were many capable of forming alchemy stages, and their methods were unpredictable. The treasure formations in the eyes of Lu Guo might be nothing in the eyes of those powerful people, and they could be destroyed with just a flip of their hands.
The only way she could think of at the moment was to practice the "Breathe Concentration Technique" written on the gold paper.
In addition to inquiring about the news in the past two days, she has been thinking about this matter in her mind.
She didn't know how the formation worked in Xuanwang City, but one thing was clear. As long as someone took action, the formation would enter an activated state, and could lock on the aura of anyone who took action, and pursue them indiscriminately.
But what if someone can suppress his own aura and cannot even lock the formation?
Xiang Shen lowered his head and gently stroked the surface of the gold paper with his fingertips, his eyes sparkling slightly.
The lines on this gold paper are messy and irregular, but she has had the experience of being trapped in a secret room. If this object was also left by Senior Qingtian, the solution is likely to be the same.
Thinking of this, Xiang Shu quickly took out a pen and paper, printed out a stripe on the gold paper, and rearranged it.
There are hundreds of permutations and combinations, and Xiang Shu tirelessly tried them one after another.
Such a boring and exhausting process lasted for a full four hours, and the waste papers around Xiang Shu had piled up into a mountain.
Once again, he crumpled the manuscript paper into a ball and threw it aside, and Xiang Shu began to make the 236th arrangement.
This time, Xiang Shen immediately saw the difference after just placing them roughly.
Although it was only a preliminary arrangement, she could see at a glance that the pattern clearly depicted the outline of two ancient characters - Qingtian.
correct.
Xiang Shen's energy suddenly revived, and all the fatigue in his eyes disappeared. His movements in his hands immediately accelerated, and the pattern quickly took shape with constant additions and pieces.
When the last line was pieced together, I straightened the manuscript paper towards Shu. On the paper, there were two ancient Chinese characters "Qingtian". The strokes were horizontal, vertical and square, covering all the inscriptions on the gold paper.
Xiang Shen's thoughts moved slightly, he covered the manuscript paper on the gold paper, took out a blank paper, and copied the inscriptions on the gold paper along the strokes of the word "Qingtian". After a while, he got a completely different version of the inscriptions. arts.
Xiang Shen pinched the edge of the paper tightly, his eyes shining brightly.
It turns out that this is the real "Breathe Concentration Technique". The fakes only have subtle differences in the lines, but the mystery behind it will never be solved.
At this moment, she was sure that the fake secret technique of "Breath Condensation Technique" must have been released by Qingtian himself. Anyone who did not personally make this page of gold paper would never be able to understand the secrets and make slight changes.
Just Qingtian doing this, what is the purpose?
Xiang Shen thought habitually, but then quickly suppressed the thought in her mind. The mind of a cultivator like Qingtian was like a sea, which was beyond what she could figure out now. Thinking about it would only increase her worries.
Shaking her head, Xiang Shu first waved her sleeves to sweep out a strong wind, destroying all the scraps of manuscript paper. After cleaning up the traces around her, she leaned against the oil lamp and began to study the newly acquired "Breathe Condensation Technique" carefully.
"Breath Condensation Technique" is a secret method, and it comes from the hand of Qingtian. Xiang Shuo originally thought that the content must be obscure and difficult to understand, but he did not expect that the writing is more straightforward than "Transformation" and the practice method is extremely simple.
However, it is mentioned that practicing this method must be supplemented by "Yuanquan", from which "Yuan" can be extracted to maintain the normal operation of the secret method.
Not only that, the secret method also carefully explains how to obtain the "Original Spring". You only need to get any corner of the Deception Formation Disk and soak it in a side of rootless water. After a day and night, the spring water will form itself.
When his eyes reached the end of the article, Xiang Sheng frowned slightly, and with a little force in his hand, the paper shattered.
She flipped her hands again, and a triangular stone plate appeared in her palm.
It turns out that this thing is called the Deception Array, and most of the spiritual springs obtained before are "Yuanquan".
Rootless water is rainwater, and it is not difficult to obtain. However, it has not rained in Xuanwang City in the past few days, and it is very dry. Moreover, the "Array Spring Water" has to be soaked for a whole day to get it, and she simply cannot afford to wait.
A whole night had been wasted on cracking the golden paper, and danger could come at any time. If all three layers of the formation were broken, she and Lu Zhu would be unable to fight back.
The path of "Breath Condensation Technique" was unavailable, so Xiang Shen had no choice but to think of another way.
She opened the storage ring she had obtained from Commander Wang before and quickly rummaged through it for something useful. However, Commander Wang was a casual cultivator and his family property was very shabby, and there was nothing that could be used.
Unable to find it, Xiang Shu could only look away from the storage ring, stood up and looked at the small earthen building room.
She had tried before, and even if she used the spirit dagger given by Lu Zhu with all her strength, she could not penetrate the wall even a bit.
When she entered the city, she saw many collapsed houses that could not withstand the erosion of time.
This kind of large-scale earth building integrated with the Xuanwang City formation can last for thousands of years. Even in ancient times when cultivation methods were prosperous, it would not be easy to build. From this, it can be inferred that its owner's power in the city is Not low.
Having a high status means that you have the upper hand in battles and there are always some difficult enemies to deal with. They lived in a room with only one exit. Didn't they think that if they were blocked by someone, they would have no way to retreat?
With this thought in mind, Xiang Shu began to rummage around the house.
The commotion was not small, and it quickly alerted Lu Zhu, who was practicing in the back room, to come out and watch.
As the night passed, a lot of the anger in his heart had dissipated, but his face was still smelly. When he saw Xiang Shen rummaging around for something, he didn't want to ask anything, but he couldn't help being curious and hummed: "Are you looking for something?" What?"
Xiang Shu glanced up and said, "Institution."
"Mechanism? What kind of mechanism can such a shabby little earthen building have?"
Lu Zhu murmured in disgust and started rummaging around.
After searching for most of the day, the two found nothing.
Xiang Shu stood in the middle of the room, his expression still calm, but there was a hint of lingering irritation between his brows.
This was the first time Lu Zhu saw Xiang Shen showing such an expression, and his heart tightened. He thought hard and repeatedly recalled what else was worth noting in the room.
But it seemed that he had found all the places he cared about.
No, there’s another one!
Lu Zhu suddenly rushed into the back room. After a while, he shouted in surprise: "Sister Shen, come here and take a look!"
Xiang Shen's eyes narrowed and he followed immediately. He saw Lu Zhu kneeling next to the oil lamp beside the bed, pointing to the lamp holder with an excited look on his face: "Sister, most of the rooms I passed by were equipped with spirit stone lamps. This is the only room. There are also oil lamps.
At that time, I thought that I could save a little bit of spiritual stone. Now that I think about it, the arrangement of the oil lamp itself is very strange. Moreover, compared with the oil lamp outside, the oil stain on the oil lamp holder in the back room is much thinner, so I came in and wiped it. I didn’t expect it to be really weird! "
Xiang Shen took a closer look and saw a strange pattern carved on the bottom of the lamp holder. She immediately stretched out her hand to hold the pattern and gently turned the lamp holder.
The next moment, the dust on the ground beside the bed shook, revealing an entrance. It was pitch black inside and couldn't be seen clearly, but there was a faint smell of decay wafting out.
Lu Zhu's face changed slightly, "This smells a bit like..."
"Shhh."
Xiang Shu gestured with his index finger to his lips. Lu Zhu immediately fell silent and watched as Xiang Shu took out a luminous pearl from the storage ring and threw it into his mouth.
The white light went downwards along the entrance, illuminating everything around it, and finally fell into a thick layer of white bones. The beads rolled down a few times and stopped moving.
Lu Zhu turned pale with horror and tightly grasped Xiang Shu's arm, as if there were roots under his feet, and he was so scared that he couldn't move.
Xiang Shen breathed in gently, and an indescribable chill emerged from the bottom of his heart and spread throughout his body.
It was just a glimpse, but she saw no less than a hundred corpses.
Who would have thought that there would be a corpse pit in this small earthen house.
After a brief silence, Xiang Shu took out another luminous pearl from the ring and threw it down.
This time, I saw it more clearly.
Although there are only piles of white bones left in the corpse pit, and an unknown number of years have passed, the arrangement of the bones can still reveal the state of his life and death.
After losing four luminous pearls in a row, Xiang Shu suddenly said: "Something's not right."
Lu Zhu shivered with fright, and his voice trembled, "What's wrong?"
Xiang Shen was silent for a moment and said, "I'll go down and take a look, and you'll keep watch from above."
Lu Zhu's scalp went numb, "Go down?!"
Xiang Shu tilted his head and said in a slightly strange tone: "Is it possible that you still want to be with me?"
Lu Zhu immediately shook his head desperately.
Xiang Shen smiled, stepped out without hesitation, and fell straight into the entrance.
Lu Zhu squatted nervously on the side of the entrance. He felt that this sister was a little too courageous. Wasn't she afraid that something under the corpse pit would kill her in an instant?
After a short fall, Xiang Sheng raised his energy and landed gently on the pile of bones. He picked up the dropped night pearl and looked around.
When she was looking above, she noticed that the bones were arranged strangely, as if they were all thrown in neatly while standing.
Now looking below, Xiang Shu sees more details.
She took two steps, knelt down and picked up a rotten storage ring. She pinched it gently and it turned into smoke.
At this moment, her suspicion was confirmed.
This was not a pit filled with corpses, but as she had thought before, it was a place of refuge.
It's just that something happened in Xuanwang City that year, which caused the monks who had taken refuge here to die in an instant, so the corpses could be packed upright and neatly.
Coming to this conclusion, Xiang Shu was about to go up when he suddenly had an idea and grabbed two bones and jumped out.
Lu Zhu was so frightened that he took a few steps back, "Sister, you...what are you doing? The person has passed away, and we shouldn't be disrespectful to the body."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhu saw Xiang Shu jump down again.
