For cultivating beings, although their lifespan is not like those of those cultivating immortals in various fairy tales and fantasy novels, their lifespan can easily be tens of thousands of years. But if you practice orthodox methods or have some life-extending methods, it is not too difficult to live for one or two hundred years.
Nearly seventy years have passed since Taoist Wuyou left Chongqing during the Anti-Japanese War and went to the front line to fight against the invaders. Until now, the country is peaceful, the people are safe and the society is prosperous.
Seventy years... For ordinary people, this has been several generations, and it is a change like the passage of time and the vicissitudes of life!
It is enough for a young child to grow up to have grandchildren and even great-grandchildren.
But practicing souls are still indulged in the memory of their old friends.
"Brother Wu, do you want to go in and take a look?"
Li Xiucai's words interrupted my thoughts.
I nodded.
"Of course, please ask Fellow Daoist Li to lead the way."
So, we entered the worry-free view.
Although this place has been abandoned for much longer than Niubi's Taoist temple, it doesn't look that dilapidated. No one has lived in it for decades, but not many weeds have grown in the yard. Even the bluestone slabs on the ground were not broken, there were just a few cracks.
A round stone table and two round stone benches are placed in the center of the yard. It looks like it has been exposed to wind and sun for seventy years alone in the deep mountains, with the sun rising and the moon setting.
Then I understood that this Wuyou Taoist was obviously also a master of formations!
Inside the entire [Wuyouguan], there should be at least three formations superimposed on each other.
The first one is the defensive array. That is to say, if someone deliberately destroys [Wuyouguan], this formation will be triggered to carry out a defensive counterattack, allowing the Taoist temple to remain intact to a certain extent.
This kind of "destruction" is not limited to attacks by other cultivating beings, but also includes some natural disasters that can also be avoided to a certain extent.
The second one is the cleansing array.
This is relatively simple. As the name suggests, it allows the Taoist temple to maintain a certain degree of "self-purification" effect. This is why we just saw that there are very few weeds in this yard, only a few sparse ones, unlike the Taoist temple in Niubi where the grass grows taller than a person in a few months!
The third one is the trapped formation.
If there are other cultivating creatures such as humans, ghosts, corpses, demons, etc., who deliberately break into [Wuyouguan] and want to "explore supernatural ruins" or something. If you reach the core area, the trap will be triggered and you will be trapped in it with no way to escape!
The three formations are integrated and superimposed on each other, forming a seamless whole.
Such attainments in formations are truly superb!
Although I have been able to reach this point now, it is mainly due to the super high starting point brought by the "Qimen Dunjia" taught by my master, which is the "ancestor of formations".
The Wuyou Taoist's method of arranging formations was clearly not from the "Qi Men Dun Jia" method, but came from other formation schools. Innately, it is three points weaker than what I learned.
But it’s really admirable that you can still achieve such a state!
We stood in the yard, Zhao Jiong sighed.
"I've been to Wuyouguan several times, but I just sat in the courtyard. I've never entered the interior of the Guanlou. Daoist Master Wu is here today, do you want to go in and take a look?"
I nodded.
"Since we are here to investigate and find some traces, we naturally have to go inside the temple and investigate carefully. However, fortunately, you were just in the courtyard when you came to this Taoist temple to reminisce about your old friends and did not really enter the building. Otherwise, , I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble. This Taoist temple contains a powerful formation, which has the ability to trap the formation. Anyone who breaks into it without authorization will be trapped in the formation and difficult to escape."
What? !
As soon as I said this, Zhao Jiong, She Yun, and Li Xiucai all looked shocked and a little scared.
Li Xiucai stroked the long beard under his chin, shook his head and sighed.
"It's okay, okay, I just sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and never thought of breaking into the viewing tower. Otherwise..."
She Yun was even more frightened.
"Brother Li, you and Brother Zhao are both ghosts. They have long lifespans and don't need to eat or drink. It's not bad. If I had been trapped in it earlier, I would have been very slow in practicing in the magic circle and would not have been able to break through. Without food and water, I'm afraid I would have been trapped in it and turned into a pile of bones. It's a bit scary!"
However, this is the benefit of them knowing the rules.
I said.
"After all, novices should not enter the core area of Taoist temples without the owner's permission. It is polite and polite to stay in the courtyard for a while and sit for a while. When entering the temple, there are so many It's very presumptuous. Therefore, the three fellow Taoists' conduct prevented them from falling into danger."
At this time, a mean voice sounded.
"Tsk, tsk, entering the interior of the Guanlou is too presumptuous. So, Mr. Wu, are you going to be presumptuous today and force your way in? I think you are very presumptuous!"
I immediately grabbed the fat bird sitting on the head of the "Three Wild Boar Brothers", grabbed it in my arms and rubbed it hard.
"Too much nonsense! No one will think you are mute if you don't speak, silly bird. I'm here to investigate Wuyouguan. Of course, I want to see clearly inside and out. Not only do I have to go in, I have to go in and out repeatedly, and I also have to enter The deepest part!"
"Let go!"
Seeing Madoka and I playing around there, the "Three Ghosts and Five Demons" I had just met were a little confused. Maybe they were not used to the way Madoka and I got along.
As for Niu Bi, Niu Deheng and Hu Xiaoyue, they were calm and relaxed, which was normal for them anyway.
If one day, Madoka and I didn't fight like this, they probably wouldn't be used to it yet...
After teasing Madoka, this stupid bird, I put it on my shoulders again, and then I was ready to enter the worry-free view.
"Brother Wu, are you going in alone?"
Niu Bi was a little worried.
After all, from the description of the "Three Ghosts and Five Demons" and my description of its formation, he felt that this "Wuyou Taoist" was very powerful.
Madoka immediately flapped Ubi's head with her wings.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about, Danniuzi! Isn't he a human being? Do you see the existence of this bird in your eyes?"
Niu Bi covered his head with his hands, looking aggrieved.
"Brother Yuan, you are not a human in the first place. You are a monster!"
Madoka was startled, then nodded.
"That's right. I wrongly blamed you. I made the wrong call."
Niu Bi: "..."
I waved my hand.
"Don't worry, Daniel. Although Fellow Taoist Wuyou is powerful, the formation he set up seventy years ago cannot defeat me. Of course, if I take you with me, it may take a lot of effort. So you can rest assured outside. Just wait, Madoka and I can go in and take a look."
To be honest, although this three-overlay formation is a bit interesting, it shouldn't be difficult for me to crack it using reverse formation methods.
Even if the car really overturns and I can't get it done...I can still be tough!
After all, Star Blade is not a vegetarian.
One sword breaks all laws!
If Taoist Wuyou had not died, I might not have been able to defeat him until now. But judging from the current situation, my cultivation level seventy years ago is not as good as mine.
