In the vast southern area of Xuanwu, there are many large and small cities. For dangerous places such as Gate City, not only are the walls high and thick, but the scale of the city can also be called a county level.
In addition, there are also some small border towns, such as Zecheng, Jucheng and Liangcheng in the extremely special hollow land, which are gradually grown from some towns through the development of trade from all sides.
There are also some old cities among them, such as Kuocheng, which is experiencing great changes at the moment. If you trace the history of Kuocheng, it far surpasses Guanmen City and can be regarded as a large historical city in the southern region.
Although with the subsequent development, the four super aristocratic families gathered in Kuocheng, cutting the central area of Kuocheng into four major parts. Because the four major families continued to inject a large amount of manpower and material resources, the areas belonging to the four major families were nearly
It has developed extremely rapidly in recent years.
This kind of uneven development has naturally led to the emergence of stagnant old cities. Of course, these old cities are located in relatively remote locations and are also gathering places for people living at the bottom.
In the southwest area of Kuocheng, there is such a large shabby old city. On weekdays, few outsiders come here, and most of them are familiar faces.
At this time, the sky is not bright yet, but most people in this area have already had breakfast, and some people have even left their homes to go to their respective livelihoods.
But at this moment, there was a figure walking slowly in this area. When most people were leaving this area, this person was walking towards the area. But everyone was in a hurry, and there was no one there.
Pay attention to this person who is walking in the opposite direction from everyone else.
This person was wearing a hood, covering most of his face under the hood. It seemed normal to dress like this in early winter. Most of the people living here have very low cultivation, and it was impossible to tell that he was wearing a hood.
This person is actually a great man whose cultivation is at the cultivation level.
If Tang Bin and Ikari were here, they would immediately recognize this person's identity. Captain Lin, the representative of the Mu family in Kuocheng at this time.
Captain Lin's speed is neither urgent nor slow, and he will stop to rest for a while from time to time. Unless he is a warrior whose cultivation is above the Qi Sensing stage, it will be difficult to find him releasing his spiritual energy to feel the changes in the spiritual energy of the surrounding world.
After feeling it for a moment, Captain Lin couldn't help but frown and muttered: "The city defense formation is making adjustments, and the spiritual energy of the world is fluctuating more and more violently. The big shopkeeper should have already taken action, but I'm around
But I can’t feel any fluctuations. Could it be that the news I got at the beginning was wrong?”
Captain Lin was not searching aimlessly. If he were to search for a vast city by himself, he would probably not be able to do it in less than ten days and a half months. After all, the Mu family and the Shu family are inextricably linked. He passed
Some senior members of the family had gotten some clues about some magicians in Kuocheng.
Although there are not many clues, Captain Lin already has a general search direction. There are three such large areas in the old city in Kuocheng, and according to the clues, the foundation of the Shu family in Kuocheng
It should be in one of the old towns.
After feeling it carefully for a long time, Captain Lin shook his head in annoyance. This was the second old city area he had explored. Since there was nothing gained here, he could only go to the last area as soon as possible.
Once the city defense formation was adjusted, he would lose this opportunity to find the magician's stronghold, so he took a quick glance around and prepared to leave.
But just when Captain Lin turned around to leave, his head turned to the side could not be turned back, or perhaps his eyes had been deeply attracted by something.
If you look in the direction you look, you will see ordinary houses that are tightly packed together. Among these houses, you can occasionally see a small shop where you can buy some ordinary daily necessities.
Such a building and layout looked ordinary, and there was nothing that required special attention. However, Captain Lin had a faint smile in his eyes as he looked at it.
"The Shu family is indeed the main line of the Lin family. I didn't expect that they would do such a big thing. Who would have thought that such an old city would have fallen into the hands of these guys, and these houses... would never be
It was renovated in recent years.”
Maybe ordinary people can't tell the clues, but the Mu family and the Shu family belong to the same lineage of the Lin family, and they know some of each other's internal affairs.
These seemingly ordinary buildings have a very special detail, that is, the buildings in front of them are too dense. If you are just passing by on the street, even a caring person may not notice it, but just as Captain Lin is about to
When I left, I found that the buildings were very unreasonably built.
This kind of unreasonableness just shows that there is something wrong with it. The buildings facing the street are too dense. On the surface, we don’t want to waste space. But after all, this is a large area, and there are second and third rows of buildings behind it. The buildings in front are like this
It is so dense that it will be extremely inconvenient for people living in the back.
Therefore, even if the buildings are densely packed together, but four or five consecutive houses are close together, an alley should be left next to it to facilitate the entry and exit of people living in the back courtyard.
Now Captain Lin took a look around and saw dozens of houses closely connected. They didn't look like ordinary street-facing houses, but more like the walls of a city. Those alleys that only appeared very far away were like city walls.
door opening.
To be able to turn such a large area into this state without making any noise, it goes without saying that it was definitely the work of the Lin family's main department. But the strange thing is that at this moment, no spiritual energy fluctuations caused by any formations were felt.
After thinking about it, Captain Lin had already made a rough guess.
Since the Lin family has figured out another set of formations in the city and does not want outsiders to know about it, the best way is to set up another set of isolation formations in this area so that outsiders cannot detect it.
Variety.
With a cold smile, Captain Lin tightened the hood on his head slightly and walked towards the entrance of an alley. He was obviously more vigilant than before.
Right in the center of this area, there are countless buildings with almost identical shapes and patterns. At this moment, each building is slowly releasing a dark golden brilliance. Countless golden runes are constantly coming from the doors, windows, masonry,
Roof tiles and other locations are flying up, converging towards the central area of the house.
When the formation's light gathers, it will slowly open like a big umbrella, and then cover the entire building area.
Four figures can be seen outside the house. They are releasing the array jade in their hands with serious faces, and adjusting the large array in front of them through the small array of runes in the array jade.
Among the busy figures, you can see the big shopkeeper who saved Zuo Feng, Yan Zhi, who has a hot and charming figure, and two middle-aged people.
Among these four people, the Grand Shopkeeper and Yan Zhi have slightly higher cultivation levels. The other two middle-aged people can only be regarded as having half a foot in the Qi-nurturing stage, but are actually at the peak of the Qi-receiving stage.
It can be seen that the four people have a certain level of formation, but to adjust the large formation in front of them, their own strength is still far from enough, so they must rely on the formation jade left by the person who originally built the formation.
Just as the four people were adjusting their formations, within the building area, in the courtyard near the center, Zuo Feng looked up at the sky in confusion. In addition to shock, there was a hint of anxiety on his face.
Shusuo and Shukun were also standing in the courtyard at this time, but they had no time to care about others, and all their attention was on the formation above their heads. There was a faint look of pride in their eyes, such a huge
Only a few limited families in the Xuanwu Empire can build such a formation, and obviously the Lin family is among them.
Unlike Shu Suo and Shu Kun, Shu Zai noticed Zuo Feng's expression and said softly: "How come you, Fourth, are like the two of them? This family's psychedelic formation is already the peak of the family.
How can it be so easy to discern the secrets of formations?
Even the big shopkeeper can only barely scratch the surface now. You don't need to rush for a while, there will be many opportunities in the future. This time it is obviously an adjustment to the battle method. I believe it will be over soon, even if you are completely distracted.
Once you get into it, you won’t find much.”
He smiled bitterly and shook his head. How could Zuo Feng not be in a hurry? If he wanted to figure out this psychedelic formation, where could there be a better opportunity than right now. If he continued to lurk here, there would naturally be many opportunities, but Kuo Kuo
The city's troubles were imminent, and he didn't have much time to wait.
He raised his head and glanced at Shu Suo and Shu Kun, and finally looked at Shu Zai and said: "Actually, among the four of us, Third Brother, your talent and ability are the most outstanding. Why are you so indifferent to the formation in front of you?"
I care so much."
After listening to Zuo Feng's words, Shu Zai smiled brightly and said: "The formation and runes are inherently broad and profound, and they also contain the truth between heaven and earth. When facing such an existence, we must first have a sense of awe, and secondly, we must not be too demanding.
, what I value more is the foundation.”
There was a faint flash of surprise in his eyes. Maybe Shusuo and Shukun didn't understand it, but Zuo Feng clearly understood the important role of basic formations and runes.
Whether it was the four basic formations of the Yong family that I studied at the beginning, or the endless formations that Huan Kong allowed me to see in the Royal Formation Crystal, they all focused on the most basic formations.
It was precisely because Zuo Feng started practicing these formations that he was able to make huge progress in the formations in a short period of time.
Nodding slightly, Zuo Feng looked up at the large formation in the sky and said, "But after all, there is an opportunity in front of me. Even if I can just see some simple operating rules, it will be a big gain for me."
Seeing the determination in Zuo Feng's eyes, Shu Zai didn't say anything more. After saying "Don't force yourself too much", he went back to his room.
