Chapter 171 Heavenly Star Jade Qilin Earth Sha Formation Technique
Chapter 171 Heavenly Star Jade Qilin, Earthly Evil Formation Technique
While walking, Jiang Xuan looked at Shen Xuzi beside him:
"Fellow Taoist, don't you ask the Huang family for a lamp?"
Shen Xuzi smiled and waved his hand when he heard this:
"It's not like I'm helping them. Why do they want lights?"
"Although I want to rescue Xing'er as soon as possible, I can't bring myself to do such stupid things."
Speaking of this, Shen Xuzi suddenly sighed again:
"Xing'er has the word apricot, and this ginkgo village is full of ginkgo trees. I think if she could come out, she would definitely like it here, right?"
"Since I guess she likes it, why not plant all the ginkgo trees in Jersey County?"
Shen Xuzi shook his head:
"It's better to plant ginkgo trees than apricot trees. She prefers apricot flowers."
As soon as he finished speaking, he changed his voice and said:
"Fellow Taoist, did you just use your magical power to connect the Netherworld?"
Jiang Xuan nodded:
"The art of "Tongyou"."
"It's just that I can't practice this magical power, so I need to borrow a hundred-year-old dry well to connect to the underworld and go down to Jiuyuan."
Speaking of Jiuyuan, Jiang Xuan said with a hint of exclamation:
"My technique is a trivial matter. What surprised me was Old Mrs. Huang's father."
"If I feel correctly, he should have reached the realm of ghosts and gods among the six realms of ghosts."
"Is the underworld so powerful under the Nine Springs? Any ghost that appears is a ghost."
Shen Xuzi shook his head:
"There are not many ghosts and gods in the Netherworld."
"When I was traveling before, I experienced a feeling of sadness that came from nowhere."
"The ghost said that in the land of the netherworld, the ghost king of the five realms is enough to suppress a region, and the ghost king of the six realms can be called the emperor of the netherworld and the lord of the nine plains."
"Then Mrs. Huang's father can become a ghost in a short period of time. Maybe he has another adventure?"
Thinking of the blue "ideal" Higan flower that he had put away, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but nodded.
"Maybe."
"It must be because of Xingye Huang Shigui's promise that Old Mrs. Huang's father has come to this point."
"When will the apricot leaves turn yellow?"
"Well, the apricot leaves return when they turn yellow."
"Many years ago, Mrs. Huang was a child, a promise her father made to her before she left home."
"It's a pity that the scholar went to Beijing to take the exam that year but died in a foreign country and never came back."
"Then Mrs. Huang waited for many years, holding on for breath, preferring to suffer from illness rather than close her eyes."
"When a scholar reaches the Nine Springs, for the sake of his ideals, he becomes a ghost in a short period of time and wants to return to the world of the sun."
"Shouldn't a scholar's ideal be to go to Dianqian High School and parade through the streets on horseback?"
"Who knows?"
While talking, the two of them gradually drifted away, stepping on the golden apricot leaves and disappearing into the lush ginkgo forest.
In the afternoon, by the Yunmeng Lake.
Shen Xuzi stood on the water with a lantern in hand and waved to Jiang Xuan:
"Fellow Taoist, please don't send me off. Shen is leaving."
After he finished speaking, he knocked on the lantern in his hand:
"The people in Sixi County live and work in peace and contentment. Although there are dragons walking around to help, I have collected more than thirty lights in the past few months, which is a big loss."
Seeing Shen Xuzi's distressed expression, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but laugh, and then threw a jade slip over:
"Walking through troubled times requires some means of protection. Use this magical power to avoid being secretly attacked by others."
"But don't spread your magical powers like your thousands of lights."
Shen Xuzi accepted the jade slip, but was not polite to Jiang Xuan:
"I'm not stupid, so my magical powers won't be spread randomly."
After saying this, he cupped his fists and saluted Jiang Xuan:
"I have written down my kindness to my Taoist friends, and I will definitely repay you in the future."
Jiang Xuan waved his hand:
"There are only two or three people in this world who can speak."
"I don't want to have to go under the Nine Springs if I want to find someone to chat with in a few hundred years."
Shen Xuzi laughed, said goodbye to Jiang Xuan again, stopped ink-marking, and walked directly on the water, all the way away.
Seeing Shen Xuzi disappear on Yunmeng Ze, Jiang Xuan also turned around and walked towards Sixi County.
It's July 15th soon.
He should also prepare to form a formation.
Thinking of the previous arrangement, Jiang Xuan pondered for a moment before waving his hand to summon a cloud, and flew towards Sixi County.
"The Art of Summoning Clouds" is worthy of being called the magical power of earth evil spirits.
Even though Jiang Xuan was only in the Xiantian realm now, it only took him a few minutes to drive from Yunmengze to the stonemason's workshop.
This speed is much faster than driving up clouds and climbing on clouds.
Pressing the cloud head, he went to the building sign of the stonemason's workshop. Through the building sign, he saw the smoke and dust filling the huge stonemason's workshop. Jiang Xuan couldn't help but laugh.
Speaking of which, this was his first time coming here since the masonry was established.
But every evening Liu Hanwu would take people to Zhushan to watch the spiritual beasts, so Jiang Xuan knew a lot about the stonemasonry.
Maybe it made the storytelling more effective, or maybe it was because Liu Hanwu had so many friends.
In short, in just a few months, there are already 93 masons who have entered the country in the masonry workshop, in addition to nearly 2,000 newly recruited mason apprentices from Sixi County.
If there were not too few imported stonemasons to bring so many people, there might be even more people coming here to learn stone carving.
After all, it is not easy for ordinary people in this era to learn a craft that can allow them to enter the country.
"I don't know when there will be an incoming mason who awakens his craftsmanship among so many apprentice masons."
The thoughts in his heart were spinning. Just when Jiang Xuan was about to step into the stonemasonry, Liu Hanwu, who was blushing, had already rushed to Jiang Xuan's side:
"Taoist Master, why are you here?"
"It's July 15th soon. Pindao, come over and see how the stone carvings are going?"
Hearing Jiang Xuan talk about Shi Zhen, Liu Hanwu suddenly showed a proud expression:
"Don't worry, my junior brother from Carved Stone Town will recognize you as the second best, and no one dares to recognize you as the first."
"In two days at most, the stone town you want, Taoist Master, can definitely be carved out."
Jiang Xuan nodded, and then pointed to the stonemasonry:
"Master Craftsman, won't you show me around this masonry?"
"If the Taoist priest is willing to visit, that would be the best."
After replying, Liu Hanwu took Jiang Xuan and walked towards the stonemason's workshop where the clanging sound was endless.
"The Stonemason's Square stretches three miles from north to south, and the same goes from east to west. It's no smaller than some villages."
While walking, Liu Hanwu introduced the situation of the stonemasonry to Jiang Xuan.
"Today, three more immigrated masons came to help, so now the number of immigrated masons in the masonry has reached 95."
"In addition, there are 1,863 mason apprentices."
"It's just that most of these 1863 people have dull qualifications. Those who can awaken their ingenuity within two years can only get five out of a hundred."
Hearing this, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but nodded:
"Five out of a hundred is a lot."
"If we recruit 10,000 disciples, wouldn't 500 of them become immigrated masons?"
When Liu Hanwu heard this, his face turned even redder, and he even became excited.
Nothing could satisfy him more than being able to carry forward the legacy he has inherited from his heart:
"Today's stonemason sect depends on the help of Taoist priests."
"From now on, the stonemason gates, especially the stonemason gates in Sixi County, will only follow the orders of the Taoist Master."
"As a member of our own family, there is no need to be so polite."
Following Liu Hanwu for a walk, when Jiang Xuan came to the middle of the stonemasonry, there was a sudden silence in his ears.
Although there was still the clanging sound of chiseling stone, the chiseling sound was no longer chaotic, but seemed very regular.
The sound of chiseling one after another seems to awaken people's soul. If you listen to it for a long time, your spiritual thoughts may become much stronger.
"Taoist Priest, the place we visited before was the craftsman's workshop. It is a place where apprentices practice their skills and where ordinary people are received."
"As for this, it is the middle section of the craftsman's workshop. It is where the imported stonemasons carve the stone, and it is also where the warehouse is located."
"In order to isolate the noisy sound in the front section, I went to the chess academy to ask Dean Lu to set up several "sound isolation arrays" in the workshop."
Looking at the warehouse that was glowing with aura, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but nodded.
The mason's work efficiency is still very high.
Maybe practice makes perfect.
In short, a stonemason who is accustomed to making stone pillars and stone towns can make two stone towns every day on average to channelize the earth's energy in twenty miles.
Dozens of masons worked day and night to survive. In the obscure places in Sixi County, stone towns have been put down to automatically channel the energy of the earth veins. There is no need for earth soldiers to run around and work continuously.
Walking in the middle of the stonemason's workshop, Jiang Xuan found that the stonemason was more focused after entering.
Even if he and Liu Hanwu walked by them, they would not look at the two of them, but would focus on the hammer in their hands.
Even though they have carved this stone pile many times, even if they can carve out the stone pile with their eyes closed, they are as meticulous as ever.
After watching the masons cutting stones for a while, and then going to the warehouse to look around at the inventory of Shizhuangshi Town, Jiang Xuan followed Liu Hanwu towards the back of the workshop.
The back square of the stonemason's workshop was silent.
Arriving at the place where Li Tong was cutting the stone, Jiang Xuan found that his three-meter-square Tianxing Stone had been carved into a jade unicorn.
He didn't know how the black Sky Star Stone turned into a transparent jade color. He could only say that the monk's method was indeed magical, even if he was just a stonemason.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the figure standing in front of the jade unicorn with his hands behind his back immediately turned around.
After seeing Jiang Xuan, he was slightly startled for a moment, then he hugged him and Liu Hanwu and saluted:
"Taoist priest, senior brother."
Jiang Xuan returned the salute first, and then looked at the jade unicorn whose whole body was carved out, except for its eyes, which were lifeless:
"Did Mr. Li encounter any difficulty?"
Li Tong shook his head when he heard this:
"Not really."
"This Qilin Stone Town can be said to be one of the most perfect stone towns I have carved in the past ten years, but it is only one of them."
Having said this, he sighed again:
"It's difficult to practice Taoism, especially with an incomplete inheritance like ours."
"Taoist cultivators, martial arts cultivators, literature cultivators, military cultivators, and Buddhist cultivators can at least reach the six realms directly, but we left-behind monks have to find their own way in the five realms."
"How difficult it is."
Jiang Xuan agreed with this.
It is indeed as difficult as the ancients to reach the sky by paving the way forward.
Especially when the field of view is fixed in a certain area, it is even more difficult.
But looking at the stone jade unicorn in front of him, Jiang Xuan suddenly had an idea:
"Master Liu, if I feel right, the stone town you carved is indeed extraordinary, but it is still a dead thing, right?"
Li Tong looked at Jiang Xuan doubtfully when he heard this:
"Stones are dead things, and carved stone towns are naturally dead things."
"Has Taoist Master ever seen Shi Zhen alive?"
Jiang Xuan shook his head:
"I have never seen a living stone poor man, but I have seen a living stone poor man."
"The poor Taoist has a house-holding and swallowing device in his hand, and a Shan Geng which is made from rocks."
Li Tong became excited immediately after hearing this:
"Shan Geng and Tunkou? Isn't that a legend?"
"I have traveled all over China and visited many sects, but I have never found any trace of Shan Geng or Swallowing."
"Taoist Priest, do you really have Shan Geng and Tunkou?"
Jiang Xuan nodded, "Pindao does exist."
"Mountain rocks can become spirits, and earth veins can transform into dragons."
"Why didn't Master Liu think about how to make the stone a living creature during the carving process?"
Looking at Li Tong who was thoughtful, Jiang Xuan continued:
"I heard Master Li say that every time a craftsman completes a finished product, he can get feedback from the finished product."
"Perhaps because the stone towns you carved out in the past were all dead, the Qi you fed back to them was also dead."
"If the people of Shizhen can give you some inspiration from heaven and earth and revitalize your craftsmanship, maybe the craftsman sect can also develop supernatural powers?"
After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, the room fell into complete silence.
After a long time, Li Tong came back to his senses and bowed deeply to Jiang Xuan:
"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for the tip."
"If Li is lucky enough to enter the realm of magical power, he will only follow the orders of the Taoist Master in the future."
"You're welcome, Master Craftsman."
Raising his hand to help Li Tong up, Jiang Xuan immediately looked at Yu Qilin and said:
"Speaking of the creatures of Stone Town, there is an opportunity here in Pindao. Master, do you want to try it?"
Li Tong, who took two deep breaths to regain his good mood, couldn't help but look at Yu Qilin, and then his eyes fell on Jiang Xuan:
"Taoist Master, please speak."
Jiang Xuan stepped forward and patted the two-meter-tall jade unicorn:
"The master should know that Pindao is planning to set up a formation in Sixi County, right?"
Seeing Li Tong nod, Jiang Xuan continued:
"The preliminary arrangements for setting up the formation are almost complete. Pindao is preparing to form the formation in a few days."
"Maybe the master craftsman can carve eyes on the jade unicorn when the poor man is in trouble."
"In ancient times, there was a legend about the finishing touch and the dragon flying in the sky."
"When the time comes, with the help of the huge earth veins, water veins, and the power of the stars when the formation is formed, and then add eyes to the jade unicorn, maybe he can really survive?"
"However, the various forces are most chaotic when the formation is first formed. It is not easy to give Qilin eyes at that time. The master craftsman may suffer backlash from the formation."
When Li Tong heard this, he once again cupped his fists and saluted Jiang Xuan:
"Countless monks are vying for the slightest opportunity to make a breakthrough. Since the opportunity is right in front of me, even if there is only one in ten thousand chance, I will give it a try."
Helping Liu Liu up again, Jiang Xuan nodded:
"In this case, the master craftsman will follow the poor man to Zhushan."
"The poor Taoist will bring Shan Geng and Tun Kou to Zhushan. Maybe the master craftsman will gain some insights from watching these two guys who are made of earth and stone."
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Jiang Xuan secretly sent a message to his master and then chatted with Li Tong for a while.
After receiving Ye Jing's reply, he took up the cloud and flew towards Zhushan together with Li Tong and Liu Hanwu.
As for the stonemasonry?
Liu Hanwu threw it to his apprentice.
However, as soon as Jiang Xuan and others left the stonemason's workshop in a cloud, they were blocked by someone again.
Looking at Lu Wanjiang who was blocking him in front of him, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but asked curiously, "What important business does Senior Lu have here?"
Lu Wanjiang glanced at Li Tong and Liu Hanwu beside Jiang Xuan, then took out a jade slip and said:
"I heard about my little friend's formation method. I accidentally obtained the magical power of "Arrayment" before, and I came here to give it to my little friend."
Looking at the jade slip slowly floating in front of him, Jiang Xuan thought for a moment and then put it away. Then he cupped his fist and saluted Lu Wanjiang:
"Thank you for the gift, senior. I will keep it in my heart."
After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, Lu Wanjiang showed a hint of disappointment without concealing his words, then stepped aside and gave way.
Seeing this, Jiang Xuan exchanged a few words with Lu Wanjiang again and then flew to Zhushan with Li Tong.
Not long after Jiang Xuan left, a figure carrying a jade wine bottle appeared next to Lu Wanjiang.
"I gave him a housekeeping magical power and he said, "I'll keep it in my heart. How is Brother Lu in a good mood?"
Lu Wanjiang remained silent as he looked at Tang Yin who was doing nothing.
"You said you knew how to set up the formation, but that guy is also calculating the formation every day. I don't believe he can't understand what you mean."
"But he took the two masons back to the mountain directly and ignored you who took the initiative to give me magical powers. Brother Lu, don't you feel unwilling?"
"What's there to be unwilling to do?"
Lu Wanjiang's voice was cold:
"Since he said he remembered it, he did."
"As long as there is a chance, you will need me sooner or later."
"If something good happens in the future, I might be a part of it."
Tang Yin shook his head:
"You and I, a fifth-level monk, have only been cultivating for how long? Why should he be so humble?"
"I've moved to Sixi County for a few months, and that guy didn't take the initiative to come over and pay me a visit. He passed by Sixi County twice today and didn't even think of us."
"If you want to give me magical powers, you have to wait outside this dusty masonry."
"snort!"
Looking at Tang Yin who looked annoyed, Lu Wanjiang sighed:
"Why is he groveling?"
"After he escaped from the water that day, he had seven more mana realm spirit beasts under his command. When these spirit beasts are arranged in formation, they can defeat Yun Shen realm monks."
"Although it is a little weaker, it is still considered to be the fifth realm."
"In addition, he also relies on the Shenxiao Sect."
"Not to mention the other members of the Shenxiao sect, in his lineage alone there is a True Lord of the Divine Power Realm, three uncles of the Yun Shen Realm, and a master of the Yun Shen Realm."
"There are three warriors from the Moving Mountain Realm living on the mountain, not to mention two bull demons from the Fifth Realm. Even Shan's magical power realm monk is probably familiar with them."
"The Lianshan clan is familiar, but what about the remaining Shennong clan? Are they also familiar?"
"By the way, there is also Li Tong, who is not weaker than the ordinary five-level monks, but he almost obeys his words."
"Having met so many cultivators of the Fifth Realm and the Sixth Realm, the two of us Five Realm cultivators who came to seek refuge halfway are naturally not that important."
"This is still his current situation."
"After a few decades, when his spiritual beasts reach adulthood, how do you think his power will expand?"
“If we don’t hurry up and sell well now, life will be difficult in the future.”
Having said this, he looked at Tang Yin again:
"Brother Tang, since you have come here to seek refuge, you should put away those so-called faces."
"In troubled times, inheritance is not easy."
After saying that, he stopped staying and disappeared directly into the air.
