Before setting off to the north, Bai Ziqi left two divine attendants in Xuncheng and ordered them to carefully investigate Nangong Yan's behavior during his lifetime.
"Assuming that the person who killed Nangong Yan was Emperor Jiuyou, then Nangong Yan and Emperor Jiuyou probably had a private holiday. Moreover, Nangong Yan and others were only exposed at the city gate, and Emperor Jiuyou himself did not show up in front of others, nor did he pass through that
Wearing an iconic battle armor, there was no public trial and execution of Nangong Yan. What does this mean?"
Everyone was thinking, Bai Qi had already said: "Is this the first scene of Emperor Jiuyou? Judging from the time, Luo Shengjia in the ruins of Bare Ridge has not yet come out at this time."
"That's right! The Emperor Jiuyou who killed Nangong Yan outside the city gate didn't have so many gimmicks at this time, and we don't even rule out that he could fight Nangong Yan with his true face!" Bai Ziqi said solemnly, "So you must carefully investigate the top five people who killed Nangong Yan.
Day, no, what have you done in the past ten days and who have you offended!"
It has only been more than half a year since the coup in this country, and there should be many clues to pick up.
"People who were close to Nangong Yan in the past may even stay in Xun City." Bai Ziqi ordered, "Find them and ask for information!"
"yes!"
Then, Bai Ziqi set off for Baimao Mountain.
That was the territory of the Xiaoyao Sect, and no idlers were allowed to approach it. Bai Ziqi asked the guide Liu to wait in the town at the foot of the mountain, and went up the mountain with only a few divine attendants.
For this kind of mission, it is useless to bring too many people into the mountain.
He originally looked down on the ban set up by the Xiaoyao Sect at the entrance to the mountain, but he found that it was very concealed. Once it was touched, it would not only trigger a strong counterattack, but also alert the Xiaoyao Sect.
How could a Taoist sect in a small place deploy such an advanced formation? Bai Ziqi was not worried but overjoyed.
He was originally worried that Pu Yin Shen's information was inaccurate, but there were such high-level restrictions on entering the mountain, which meant that there was really something on Bai Mao Mountain.
Otherwise, why would the Xiaoyao Sect put so much effort under an empty mountain?
Oh no, this is a serious matter, and most of the people in control of the situation are no longer Xiaoyao Sect.
After finding out the forbidden temper, the divine attendant took out the elixir and each person took one. Then he took out a large wolf-skin cloak and put it on his body.
The effect of this medicine is very interesting. It can reduce the size of the user to half of the original body within fifty breaths, while also causing a strong feeling of discomfort.
Bai Ziqi was six feet tall. After taking the medicine, he quickly became a three-foot tall man, a standard dwarf.
After putting on special wolf skin cloaks, everyone lay down on the ground and turned into living wolves!
In other words, at least it looks like a wild wolf, can run on four legs like a wolf, and even flick its tail like a wolf.
Upon closer inspection, there are still many problems, it is a bit rough, and my little friends may have nightmares after watching it at night.
But there is no problem in using it to cheat the ban.
Baimao Mountain is so big and has countless wild animals. If even one or two animals come here and trigger the ban, the Xiaoyao Sect will be busy all day long.
So no matter how this ban is implemented, it will definitely treat wild animals with a liberal approach.
With the help of the lantern spirit to cover the mana fluctuations on his body, Bai Ziqi and others successfully passed the prohibition of the mountain gate.
Baimao Mountain is very large and a very majestic mountain range. In the past, the White Bear King used this place as his lair. He had thousands of bear soldiers, wolf generals and animal troops under his command, which shows the vastness of Baimao Mountain.
With such a large range, everyone doesn't have to worry about touching the restriction anymore, but how do we find the formation for Qianhuan Zhenren?
This is truly hidden in the forest.
"We need to find one formation pillar first, and the rest will be easy to handle." Bai Ziqi ordered, "Pu Yin Shen said that there is one no more than eighty feet away from the mountain gate to the north. Let's go quickly, while it is still early.
"
Everyone bypassed the mountain gate and sneaked into the airtight jungle.
It's cloudless today, and based on the position of the sun in the leaves, it's easy to tell which direction is due north.
Not long after, Bai Qi, who was sentrying in front, ran back: "Found it, right ahead!"
In fact, it’s hard to find it. This thing is really big!
Based on Bai Ziqi's experience, this is the first time he has seen such a strange formation:
It is neither gold nor stone nor wood, but a large cluster of incredible fern leaves!
Brown-red, harder than stone, from a distance it looks like a bunch of giant question marks squeezed together, or like the curved tentacles of an octopus - they rise from the ground, about fifteen feet high! (nearly fifty meters)
)
There are many giant trees in Baimao Mountain, but the strange-looking giant fern tree still stands out from the crowd in the mountain.
No wonder Qianhuan Zhenren wanted to disguise it, otherwise it would look conspicuous no matter how you look at it.
This cluster of giant fern trees is as thick as thirteen people hugging each other. It is quite spectacular whether viewed from a distance or up close. The trees are covered with moss and vine plants, as well as scarred moss spots. At first glance, they look like they have been weathered for a long time.
appearance.
Bai Ziqi stepped forward and knocked on the bark of the tree, making a soft sound.
"The epidermis is fossilized."
Bai Qiqi said: "There are endless wonders in the world, why would Master Qian Huan use something like this as an array pillar?"
Isn't it good to use strange stones? They won't break down for thousands of years.
Bai Ziqi put her ears to the tree and listened.
After a while: "Although its surface has been petrified, it is still alive inside. This giant fern is still growing."
"Perhaps, this half-stone, half-fern, state of life and death is the closest to the soil fertility of Baimao Mountain?" He thought for a while and then said, "When the immortals arrange the spirit gathering formation, they must adapt to local conditions. Qianhuan Zhenren's selection of materials must be
Most suitable for Baimao Mountain.”
"Okay, the current task is to find the remaining pillars of the spirit gathering array."
Over the past many years, the Xiaoyao Sect has not discovered the existence of the Spirit Gathering Formation. It must be because Master Qianhuan has disguised these giant ferns to make them look like ordinary trees, that is, they are a bit bigger and taller.
Quite a bit.
Now that the formation has stopped working for no reason, the disguise has been broken, and the giant fern tree can finally reveal its true appearance.
While the sky was still bright, Bai Ziqi took out a pale gold candle and waved it in the wind, and the lantern spirit appeared.
He pressed the candle to the giant fern tree: "Go look for giant trees like this in the mountains. Every time you find one, mark it."
The lanterns flew back and forth around the giant fern, as if observing carefully, and even got in through the gaps.
After a while, it returned to Bai Ziqi.
Reconnaissance completed.
He blew a long breath at the lantern.
When blown like this, the fist-sized lantern exploded into thousands of small sparks, flying in all directions!
This scene is like the arrival of a swarm of fireflies.
Every little spark is a clone of the lantern spirit.
They launched a carpet-like search in this huge mountain, not sparing any giant tree.
Otherwise, Baimao Mountain is so big, not to mention just a few people, even thousands of people would not be enough.
"Let's look at their search results." Bai Ziqi got a round purple gold shallow plate from the waiter, about five feet in diameter.
