Chapter 19 Breaking the Formation in Ten Steps [Please vote and collect]
A small boat crosses the forest sea, and a long body stands up in the world.
Wen Ling'er drove a ten-foot-long brown wooden boat and carried Li Ping'an toward the spirit mine hundreds of miles away.
At this moment, Wen Ling'er was complaining endlessly.
A registered disciple like her is actually a handyman doing errands. Her master has hundreds if not thousands. This time the errand is already unfinished, and she doesn't know how she will be punished by her master afterwards.
'Is our disguise really that bad?'
Wen Ling'er suddenly wanted to cry.
She had been living in a crowded town for so many years, how could she not survive two rounds against a disciple who had just been practicing for a few years...
She is probably useless.
Wen Ling'er carefully recalled the details of her two contacts with Li Ping'an, and soon sighed in her heart.
My own conduct is not enough.
This guy has been teasing her from the beginning.
In this way, no matter what punishment the master handed down later, she had nothing to complain about, she just had to accept the punishment.
Wen Ling'er carefully looked back at Li Ping'an who was standing at the stern of the boat. When he saw his gaze coming towards him, she quickly turned her head, pointed her sword and made some magic tricks to make the wooden boat move more smoothly.
Li Ping'an seemed quite relaxed on the surface, but in fact he kept his spiritual consciousness spread everywhere around him.
Every strand of Wen Ling'er's hair that flutters in the wind is under his supervision.
Without him, cherish your life.
He was also thinking quietly, thinking about how to 'invite' Manager Xiao to show up later.
[Xiao Yue, a member of a small group within the sect headed by Deputy Head Mo Yi. Deputy Head Mo Yi was originally a candidate for the headship and was in direct competition with his old father.
Mo Yi, the deputy head of the city, has a very deep government and he never expresses any dissatisfaction within the sect. However, several immortal elders who often walk around Mo Yi have repeatedly spoken out in the past two years and have many criticisms of the 'merchant's ambition'.
Although Xiao Yue is only a true immortal in the sect, her own abilities are quite outstanding and she manages the immortal sect's industry in an orderly manner. Her teacher is also one of the three golden immortal ancestors.】
If I can take advantage of this opportunity to get in touch with Xiao Yue, not to mention win over my father, even if it is a good relationship, it will be very helpful to my father's future career as a leader.
Now, Li Ping'an must figure out how to use the simplest method to lure Manager Xiao to show up, and how to make her have a better impression of her father...
This is really hard to do.
Li Pingan sighed secretly in his heart.
Everyone knows that even if he fails the outer sect's trial, the inner sect will let him stay in the mountain sect to practice and just treat him as an idler.
But if his trial involves Daochang Chen, or even threatens Daochang Chen's safety, then he will not let it go.
An hour later, after the wooden boat had traveled about three hundred miles, Li Ping'an discovered the spiritual mine surrounded by clouds and mist at the edge of his spiritual consciousness.
Glancing at the glass mirror in his palm, Li Ping'an laughed:
"The clouds, regardless of the direction of the wind, changed from two to one."
Wen Ling'er didn't know why, so she kept her head down and drove the boat.
I feel aggrieved but dare not express it.
…
On the clouds above Li Pingan's head.
The three Wan Yun Sect immortals gathered together, but there was no embarrassment.
Elder Yan Sheng sat on the cloud stool in the middle, smoking a dry pipe. The smoke from the pipe slightly increased the thickness of the white cloud.
Wei Yanzi set up a square table with a smile and put some immortal wine on it. Then he hid beside Elder Yan Sheng, not daring to talk to the beautiful steward in front of him.
It's not because Wei Yanzi thinks that there is a big gap between his and Xiao Yue's cultivation, it's because Wei Yanzi knows how powerful this manager Xiao is.
Xiao Yue seemed content at this moment.
She sat behind the square table and spread the layers of her gauze skirt on the clouds, as if she were sitting in a blooming peony. She held a jade talisman that recorded the accounts in her hand and looked at it carefully.
From time to time he glanced at Elder Yan Sheng.
The only thing that Xiao Yue cares about is the attitude of this old elder from the outer sect.
Wei Yanzi suddenly said: "The wooden boat is only twenty miles away from the spiritual mine."
Xiao Yue nodded lightly but did not speak.
Elder Yan Sheng knocked on the cigarette pole and gave a gentle smile: "Elder Xiao."
Xiao Yue's lips showed a bright smile: "Elder Yan, please give me some advice."
"I don't dare to teach you. You and I are both practicing in the same discipline. I'm just a poor Taoist who has only gained a few years."
Elder Yan Sheng sighed:
"Do you think my little friend Ping An can be called a talent that can be developed?"
Xiao Yue nodded gently, her fair and crystal-clear skin reflected the sunlight, her white chest was about to burst, and her slender waist tied with a soft cloth belt was not easy to hold.
Xiao Yue, who is full of mature charm, actually has no Taoist partner. Several real immortals in her sect have tried to form Taoist partners with her, but in the end they were humiliated and ridiculed by her, and their face was lost.
Just listen to Xiao Yue laugh and say:
"This little guy is quite interesting. Before, I thought he was just a pedantic and stupid disciple who hid in Liuyun Temple all day long to practice. Even if he was asked to go to the main peak, he wouldn't go. He said he wanted to avoid suspicion. It really made people laugh.
.
"After getting in touch with him this time, I discovered that he has some talent, and is much better than his father who only knows how to drink and fool around with others.
"It's a pity that his qualifications are still a little bit behind. I don't know if he can reach the realm of immortals."
Elder Yan Sheng nodded with a smile and said: "There is nothing wrong with the outer sect elders temporarily adjusting the trials of the outer sect disciples, but the father of Little Friend Ping An has privately requested Pindao to protect him on his journey. He also asked Elder Xiao to take care of Pindao.
How about saving his face and sparing him the pain of being confused this time?"
Xiao Yue covered her mouth and chuckled: "Look at what you said so seriously. How could Yue'er not listen to your admonishment? However, I have already set up this maze, so I can't just withdraw like this."
Wei Yanzi frowned and said, "What does Elder Xiao mean?"
"Just let him join the battle."
Xiao Yue picked up the luminous cup, took a sip of the fairy brew inside, and tapped the cup in her hand with her slender fingers like jade.
"He teased my registered disciple twice, which can be regarded as a shame for me. I don't want him to suffer. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to gain a foothold in the sect in the future.
"This is just a maze, there is no restriction on killing at all.
"If he can get through this maze, I won't have any problems with him in the future, and I will come back and say a few nice words for him.
"If he can't get through this maze, let him stay in it for three to five days and then fish him out. What do you think?"
Wei Yanzi frowned and said: "This maze is so sleepy that even a trapped immortal is trapped in it. He is just a light-condensing cultivator. When he steps out, there will be ghosts!"
Elder Yan Sheng glanced at this new member of the sect, and Wei Yanzi shook his head and said no more.
"Since Elder Xiao wants to hone his skills, little Ping An, this is naturally the opportunity for little Ping An."
Elder Yan Sheng smiled and said:
"I just asked Elder Xiao to prepare some rewards. If he gets out of the maze, how about the elder giving him some rewards?"
"oh?"
Xiao Yue understood Elder Yan Sheng's temperament, and upon hearing the old immortal's words, her eyes became a little more curious.
"Is it possible that he still has some attainments in formation?"
Elder Yan Sheng took a puff of dry smoke and simply said: "Everyone knows that Elder Xiao has many treasures, but don't let little friend Ping An think that the senior is stingy."
"Look at what you said, if little friend Ping An can get out of this formation, he will be a rare formation wizard. There is another strange person in the door. It's too late for me to be happy... huh?"
Xiao Yue was talking to herself when the bracelet on her wrist suddenly vibrated slightly, and the jade pieces on it emitted faint ripples.
This bracelet is a very precious sound transmission magic weapon. It can transmit sounds thousands of miles away. It has many restrictions on its use and cannot be used in non-emergency situations.
Wei Yanzi asked curiously: "But what's the emergency inside the door?"
"It's a message from Fang Town that there is a historic site on the shore of the East China Sea."
Xiao Yue smiled and said:
"It's not too far away from where we are stationed in Wanyun Zongfang Town. Several of our fellow disciples who are closest to there have already rushed there. I wonder if we can get some opportunities."
Elder Yan Sheng sighed: "There have been many killings and calamities in the history of ancient monuments, but it's not just chance."
Xiao Yue said seriously: "It's not too far away from us. If we need manpower support later, we will have to go there."
"Of course," Wei Yanzi said with a smile, "This is a big deal within the family. If it doesn't work, let little friend Ping An hide here for a few days, and we will come back to protect him."
"Look," Elder Yan Sheng said, "he has entered the battle."
Xiao Yue and Wei Yanzi looked down, and sure enough they saw Li Ping'an floating into the white mist surrounding the spirit mine, and the girl who had brought him here stood quietly on the bow.
Xiao Yue's lips moved, but she was telling Wen Ling'er:
"Follow him into battle, and whatever he does should be noted down."
Wen Ling'er was startled for a moment, then hurriedly jumped into the maze, not forgetting to call out the name of 'Brother Ping An'.
Xiao Yuesu brushed her hand across the table in front of her, a wisp of clouds drifted past, and a picture appeared on the table that gradually became clearer from blur.
She used the cloud mirror technique to completely reflect the situation within the array.
Li Pingan stood still with his hands behind his hands, as if sensing something.
Wen Ling'er stood beside him, carefully observing the dense fog everywhere.
Wei Yanzi wondered: "Is Ping'an really good at breaking formations? Elder, I don't say that I watch him every day, but I still have a rough idea of the techniques he has learned. I know that Ping'an is good at refining alchemy, and he also has original creations.
Alchemy techniques...but formation techniques, I have never seen him use them before."
"He should not be good at setting up formations, but he is good at breaking them, especially for such confusing formations that confuse people's six senses."
Elder Yan Sheng smiled and said:
"It's normal that you don't know this.
"About a year ago, Uncle Dazhi went to Pindao for a drink, drank Pindao drunk, and took Pindao's most proud book "Detailed Explanation of Formation Illustration".
"Although Pindao made his promise after being drunk, he could not get the catalog back, so he had to admit defeat... However, after all, this is Pindao's half-life effort, and it still depends on what use Uncle Dazhi has.
"Unexpectedly, Uncle Dazhi didn't want to comprehend it himself, but brought it to little friend Ping An.
"Since then, Pindao has been interested in little friend Ping An's research on formations."
Xiao Yueqi said: "Is he really a wizard of the formation? He is only in the light-condensing realm, but he can understand such mysterious changes in the formation?"
"This," Elder Yan Sheng muttered, "he can't understand the many changes in the formation... and there is no need to understand, he is thinking about another way."
There are more doubts in Xiao Yue's phoenix eyes.
Elder Yan Sheng sighed:
"Ping An said that the formation should be divided into three parts.
"The first part is the appearance, which is the part of the formation that performs its functions. The killing formation is all kinds of killing moves, the confusion formation is all kinds of illusions, and the part that can be touched by those who join the formation is called the appearance.
“The second part is the formation itself, which consists of various formation plates and different formation bases.
"The third part is the formation base of the formation. The formation base is the foundation of the formation. The array runs on the formation base, so the formation base is the basis of everything. He calls it...
hardware.
"These three, from the outside to the inside, are connected by spiritual energy and spiritual power."
Xiao Yue smiled and said: "This doesn't sound very clever."
"Pindao originally felt the same way, but when he heard little friend Ping An continue to talk, he felt enlightened.
"This division is just the basis of his method of breaking formations."
Elder Yan Sheng shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"He said... the most difficult thing about the formation is the killing formation, which uses the power of a large formation to cut into the formation, and the only way is to dodge or resist.
"The confusing formation and the trapped formation are a bit useless.
"Every formation must have a formation base. The formation base is the node where the spiritual power within the formation converges. As long as we find a way to sort out the underlying route of the spiritual power's operation, we can find where the formation base is buried.
"In the formation, the function of each formation base is different, and the five elements belong to different categories. By identifying the formation base, you can know your position in the formation... This does not require contact with the formation base, you only need to judge the formation.
The characteristics of the base itself are enough.
"He memorized Pindao's experience in formations for most of his life just to study formation bases and note down the characteristics of various formation bases.
"In addition, Little Friend Ping An also summarized thirty-six rules for formation base refining, with more than three hundred small changes, and re-categorized the formation bases of various formations according to their own characteristics..."
Wei Yanzi suddenly said: "He started to move!"
Elders Yan Sheng and Xiao Yue lowered their heads to look at the cloud mirror on the table, only to see Li Ping'an take out a brocade box from his arms and a compass-shaped magic weapon inside.
Then, Li Ping'an stepped forward, walking forward like a leisurely stroll.
One step, two steps.
When Xiao Yue saw him walking towards the depths of the maze, a disdainful smile flashed across her lips.
Three steps, four steps.
Li Ping'an suddenly stopped walking and looked down at the grass in front of him.
Wen Ling'er almost bumped into his back, but was stopped three feet away by a force of magic.
Li Pingan smiled and waved his palm towards the front. The clouds and mist were slightly disturbed, and the compass in his hand made a buzzing sound.
He turned around and took the fifth step towards the way he came, then closed his eyes, took two steps sideways and moved forward again.
The thick fog ahead was filled with blood.
Xiao Yue on the cloud was a little stunned.
In the formation, Li Ping'an turned his head and glanced at Wen Ling'er beside him, and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, go first."
Wen Ling'er walked into the thick fog with a sad face.
Li Ping'an sensed carefully and followed his steps when a tinkling sound suddenly sounded in his ears;
The moment his right foot landed on the ground, the thick fog suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes, and what came into his eyes was a mine located deep in a dense forest.
It is said to be a mine, but it is actually a large, regular pit. Hundreds of young and strong mortals wearing short shirts are carefully digging out the ore at the bottom of the mine, looking for precious things in these stone layers.
Mining for the Immortal Sect is an important responsibility of these mortal Immortal Dynasties.
Li Ping'an and Wen Ling'er were standing at the edge of the mine. The two of them obviously alerted the few Wan Yun Sect Qi Refiners who were guarding here.
Above the clouds, Elder Yan Sheng was smiling broadly, while Xiao Yue's slender eyebrows were furrowed.
Wei Yanzi smiled and said: "We can't just temper our young disciples without giving them some benefits, don't you think so?"
Xiao Yue said softly: "It's natural. Today I opened my eyes. This little friend Ping An is really something extraordinary."
There was some commotion on the ground.
Hiding in the mine, waiting for the so-called 'evil cultivators' to show up, a few qigong masters appeared. A middle-aged male cultivator couldn't help shouting:
