The green mountains and clear waters are rare to stop, and living in a place outside the world will bring you some leisure.

Looking at the mystery and beautiful scenery here, Xia Shang had a little idea. Can he bring all his family here, stay away from secular life, and stop caring about grudges and resentment?

This should have been a kind of life that Xia Shangxi yearns for, but now Xia Shangxi is obviously unable to make such a decision.

However, it is not ruled out that one day in the future, Xia Shang will take the people he cares about to escape here with the people he cares about when he is desperate or when he retires successfully.

This is a beautiful dream, but before that, Xia and Shang had to turn this outlandish land into the base of the Ming Cult according to the original plan.

In a flash of more than a month, life became simple.

The primary question before Xia Shang was how to control the formation in this world.

If there were no ancient books that specifically recorded this great formation as a guide, Xia Shang would never have had the idea of ​​mastering this great formation. However, with books as a guide, and some of the foundations of Yixue that Xia Shang had originally had, he finally mastered the strategies of opening and closing the formation after one month.

Xia Shang is different from Lu Baiyang, the former owner here. Lu Baiyang only knows how to enter and exit and does not understand the principles, so he cannot grasp the various changes in this formation at all.

After research by Xia and Shang dynasties, this formation is far from as simple as we know it at present.

At this moment, what this formation shows is only one of the eighteen changes in the formation, just one of the forms.

This formation contains six small arrays, each small array has a formation eye hidden. Each array eye corresponds to three different formation forms. Each form can hide this place between hilly terrain. According to the formation transformation, even if you know the method of entering and exiting or cracking of a certain form, you cannot escape the constraints of the formation.

It can be said that as long as you master the principle of the formation, even if there are thousands of troops outside, no one will be able to break into it. If the person living inside does not understand the method, even if you have the ability to go to heaven and earth, it is a dream to leave this place.

When Lu Baiyang was here, his main purpose was to escape the world, so it was just right to keep this place hidden in the world surrounded by hills.

However, if the Xia and Shang Dynasty wanted to launch the Ming Cult here, it was obvious that they could not hide it outside the world like this.

Therefore, Xia Shang wants to use this

A large formation is used as a defense, not to avoid the world. What Xia Shang needs to do now is to adjust the large formation to a closed state and let this landscape land reappear in the world.

This task sounds easier said than done. Although it is a mastered method, it is very difficult to apply it to reality. It requires adjusting some landscape layouts in every corner of this world. After all, it is a huge formation. The landscape changes involved are relatively large, and it has to be assigned to a group of subordinates in Xian'er to do it separately.

There is a sword platform on the top of the mountain, with cliffs on one side and green bamboo forests on the other. On the sword platform, you can clearly see the clear lake water below, and you can also see the hazy hills in the distance. There are also a few red-crowned cranes who don’t know where they live flying in the clouds and mist. People are among them, and the scenery is like a fairyland, which is the favorite place of Xia Shang.

Xia Shang ordered his men and decided to close the formation today.

After everything was ready, I arrived on the sword platform again. I picked up the stones and recorded the days on the bluestone ground of the sword platform as I used to.

The word "典" on the ground has been written for about seven and a half years, and it seems that more than a month has passed.

Looking at the marks he recorded on the ground, Xia Shang couldn't believe that time would pass so quickly.

"I don't know what day it was..." Xia Shang scratched his head, really couldn't remember what year and month it was now.

On the other hand, the apprentice came back from practicing swords and responded crisply with fragrant sweat: "It should be July."

"July? Is it passing so fast?"

Xue Lengxiang stood obediently behind Xia Shang with a smile, thinking about the many longings that Master said these days, and replied with a chuckle: "Master said he likes life outside the world, but after staying in this place outside for a long time, don't he still miss the outside world?"

Xia Shang frowned. Now he couldn't even understand what life he really wanted.

But this is also human nature. The life you can't get is the life you want in your heart, right?

"Isn't this good? I'll come here to hide from the world after having had enough of the secular world, and go back when I want to return to the secular world. This is something that no one can envy!"

"That's true." Xia Shang nodded and responded.

"I heard that Master will close the formation here today. At that time, people in the secular world will see this and we will be able to return to the secular world. Speaking of which, my disciples also miss my father and younger brother a little."

Xia Shang saw it

Xue Lengxiang whispered: "You can't leave."

Xue Lengxiang was stunned when she heard this, and seemed to have no reaction.

"Um?"

"You can't leave here within three years."

"Why am I...?"

"You have to stay in seclusion for three years and cultivate your character well. This is also a punishment for your teacher. The more than 300 lives of the Haisha Gang are not a trivial matter. If you think that if you don't care about it, you really think that what you did is right? Although these people are extremely guilty, is everyone dead? No matter what the reason you are from, killing so many people should never be a matter of forgiveness at will. This matter is related to the way of heaven and humanity. If I, the master, do not care about it, I will feel at ease in my heart. But if you blame you too hard for the lives of three hundred thieves, you will also lose the chivalrous way. Therefore, I punish you for staying on the sword platform for three years, and spend these three years to practice swords and recuperate your mind and nature."

“Master…I…”

"Stop talking, this is my decision. The same sentence is the kung fu in "The Book of Heaven" is full of dangers. You should not practice internal skills in these three years. You should focus on studying sword techniques and experience the mountains and rivers here, which will be helpful to your mind and nature."

Xue Lengxiang was a little dissatisfied, but this was the master's order. Even if he was not convinced, he would not violate it. He could only nod in disappointment: "Yes, Master."

As soon as Xue Lengxiang finished speaking, the clouds and mist outside the sword platform suddenly changed significantly.

All the clouds and mists were dissipating, and the distant sky and hazy hills became gradually clear.

This landscape has no hazy artistic conception, and all the scenery has become less desirable than before, and has become more counter-provoking.

In just a quarter of an hour, the clouds cleared and the fog dissipated, the sun shone brightly, and the red-crowned cranes in the clouds disappeared. A group of tits from nowhere flew to the sword platform, watching curiously, like a group of new guests coming to a novel world.

A further distance, the vision became clear, and the Xia Shang Dynasty could see the official road several miles away.

And these official paths have never been seen before.

You can even see carriages on the official road and pedestrians coming out of the carriage.

Xia Shangyao looked at them, and they seemed to be looking at them from afar.

Xia Shang nodded: "It seems that the formation has been closed."
