Zhang Fan pointed at the drawn formation pattern and said.
He An and Li Kengqiang turned their attention to the location pointed by Zhang Fan.
"When I was drawing the pattern, I found that the Populus euphratica at these points was dead and withered."
Zhang Fan continued.
"died?"
He An frowned slightly and subconsciously repeated, "Are the formation patterns around those nodes different from those in other places?"
"There is no difference."
Zhang Fan said.
"If possible, tell your master about the situation of those dead trees and see what he says."
Zhang Fan said to Li Kengqiang.
Zhang Fan also had the idea of talking to Old Man Ouyang, but Old Man Ouyang was too weak and probably didn't know about the Thousand Lock Formation. After all, Li Kengqiang's first master only heard about this formation.
He said he had never seen it before.
"Okay, I'll ask my master again."
Li Kengqiang responded happily, and then dialed his master's phone number. The call was quickly connected, and he repeated the question that Zhang Fan just said to the other party.
"The physical points on which the Thousand Locks Formation Locks are attached are blessed by the laws of heaven and earth and maintained by the energy in the formation. It is impossible for plants at the physical points to die naturally. Therefore, the withering and withering of these trees must be man-made.
.”
The man on the other end of the phone said, "This person probably wanted to destroy the Thousand Locks Formation, but he failed, but the one who can do this must be at least a strong person in the third and fifth realms.
Although the physical object at this point has shown signs of decay, until the formation is completely damaged or completely activated, no matter how great the influence of the outside world is, it will remain like this and will not completely decay.
For formations like the Thousand-Lock Array, as long as one of the locks is damaged, the entire Thousand-Lock Array will be destroyed.
But it is not easy to destroy a lock. When external forces attack any lock in the Thousand Locks Formation, the power and laws of heaven and earth contained in the entire Thousand Locks Formation will be concentrated.
That point is to contend with external forces."
"That means that even if those trees are crumbling now, we can't use violence against them?"
Li Kengqiang said.
“Yes, the force of resistance inspired by violence against points that show signs of decay is the same as the force of resistance that is inspired by violence against points that show no signs of decay.”
The man on the other side of the phone continued, "By the way, you can try to start from the points showing signs of decline to find the method to open the Thousand Locks Formation. You may find some clues."
"Thank you so much for your guidance, Master."
Li Kengqiang said.
"Why are you so polite to me?"
There was a hint of endearment in the man's voice on the other side of the phone.
Li Kengqiang chuckled, and after a few polite words, the two hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Li Kengqiang turned his attention to Zhang Fan.
"Let's follow your master's instructions and go check out the conditions of those trees first."
Zhang Fandao, followed by another compliment, "Your master, you are really good."
Zhang Fan knows very well that people are very indifferent these days, so to still have such a relationship after not seeing each other for so many years is pretty good.
"Back then, his wife cheated on her, and he killed her and the man who cuckolded her in anger. Although this behavior seemed unwise on the surface, it was still very bloody. It was for this reason that he couldn't stay with us.
It has nothing to do with his character, he has a very good character."
Li Kengqiang said, "He is highly talented and powerful, but he is still less than fifty years old.
It is said that he is now very popular among a big force in the Golden Triangle area."
At the age of over forty, he has the strength of the second level of the third realm. Although his talent is not as good as those of the elders of the big sects, it is not bad.
However, the fact that he was a highly regarded member of a major force in the Golden Triangle aroused Zhang Fan's curiosity.
In Zhang Fan's impression, the major forces in the Golden Triangle are the three major branches of the Hanyuan clan. Of course, one branch has now moved to the original site of the Jinfeng Sect in Wei County, and there are still two major branches in the Golden Triangle. Could it be that Li Kengqiang's master is the Hanyuan clan?
A major branch of the Yuan clan works?
Li Kengqiang was talking to himself there. Zhang Fan and He An were not willing to accept anything. If they did, it would involve inquiring into other people's privacy. Neither Zhang Fan nor He An were willing to inquire into other people's privacy.
After a short time, Zhang Fan and the others arrived at the withered trees. There were four dead trees in total, forming a diamond shape.
"Shall we come one by one?"
He An suggested.
"kindness."
Zhang Fan responded.
Then, the three of them looked around the first dead tree.
The bark of the first dead tree has all fallen off, and there are a lot of hollows on the trunk. It looks like it can be broken into several sections if the wind blows.
"I didn't find anything special, what about you?"
After Li Kengqiang carefully observed the tree, he looked at Zhang Fan and asked.
"I didn't find anything special about it either."
He An guessed and turned his attention to Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan shook his head.
Afterwards, Zhang Fan and the others took a closer look at the other three dead trees, but still found nothing special. The conditions of these three trees were very similar to the first tree, except that the holes in them were different.
"My master has never seen this formation, and he doesn't know much about it. Maybe the direction he provided us is wrong."
Li Kengqiang said a little embarrassedly, after all, according to the direction provided by his master, they found nothing.
"That's not necessarily true. It's probably a matter of our level."
Zhang Fan answered. This was not only Zhang Fan's way of comforting Li Kangqiang, but also Zhang Fan's inner thoughts.
Not being proficient enough, not being careful enough, not being able to turn your thinking, etc., may lead to not being able to find clues where they can be found.
"Even if the direction your master provided is really wrong, we should still thank your master. Your master sincerely helps us, and he has already helped us a lot."
Zhang Fan continued.
Li Kengqiang nodded with gratitude in his eyes. Although he had not been with Zhang Fan for a long time, he had a general understanding of Zhang Fan. Zhang Fan was an upright person who acted in an upright manner and spoke fairly. He would not abandon official duties for personal reasons.
The facts are what they are. If you work with such people and don’t say anything else, you will feel at ease!
"What should we do next?
Mr. Zhang."
He An asked.
"We have been tired for most of the day. Let's go back to the RV to rest and change our thoughts. Who knows, when we wake up, we will find a solution to the problem."
