"Lin already knew that he had been deceived by you and his son. It had only been a day since he entered your Xishan Village household registration, and he was caught as a young man. If he had known this, Lin would still be free and easy as a casual cultivator!"
Lin Chengsi held the compass in his hand and kept calculating, searching for something, and at the same time he kept complaining. Every time he confirmed a place, Yang Junshan behind him immediately stepped forward and started to arrange the next suggested formation.
I saw that Yang Junshan first dug a row of holes in the ground, then dug a carved rune stick, and then buried a dozen stone coins around it, and then used fine wire to combine these stone coins with the rune stick.
After connecting them, a proposed early warning array is completed.
Lin Chengsi squinted at the simple formation on the ground and said, "Is it that simple? Even a late-stage martial artist monk can be noticed when he passes by?"
Yang Junshan stood up, nodded and said: "It wouldn't have been so simple originally. Didn't it come from the guidance of seniors? As long as the spiritual source veins found by seniors are accurate, these early warning formations will definitely work."
Lin Chengsi said angrily: "Boy, do you dare not believe my methods?"
Yang Junshan quickly laughed and said: "How dare you? If it weren't for the seniors, it would not be easy for the juniors to lay out these early warning formations."
Lin Chengsi's face looked better now, and he said: "In a short period of time, I can only confirm these relatively clear lines, but these lines are far from being able to cover the entire village. If the thief then
If you sneak in from other directions, the warning array will become a decoration."
Yang Junshan nodded and said: "This has some elements of luck. If we can detect it in advance, we will have time to prepare."
Lin Chengsi smiled and said: "I hope my luck is not too bad. If you are a monk in the early stage of the martial arts realm, it will be fine. Even if you are not discovered in advance, with the strength of Xishan Village, you will not be afraid. But if you encounter a monk in the late martial arts realm,
Then I’m afraid we will suffer some losses.”
Yang Junshan smiled and said: "Senior, did you forget that junior also set up a formation in the caravan warehouse in the village?"
Lin Chengsi said: "Your formation has not been completely arranged yet. Who knows how effective it will be? Can it really trap even a late-stage martial artist monk?"
There is a lot of cooperation between spiritual seekers and formation masters in the cultivation world, so both parties know each other somewhat. Lin Chengsi originally thought that Yang Junshan was just an formation master who was just getting a glimpse of the skills and would not have much knowledge.
, however, the exchanges over the past few days have made it impossible for him to look down on him anymore. Even in terms of his knowledge and opinions on certain things, Yang Junshan's experience and opinions seem to be still above his.
A reward notice issued by the county government was posted on the stage in Xishan Village, which said: "Anyone who captures the Tianlang bandit cultivator in the early stage of the martial arts realm will be rewarded with fifty stones and fifty jade coins from the Spiritual Valley once confirmed; those who capture the middle martial arts realm will be rewarded."
A person who is a bandit cultivator from the Heavenly Wolf Sect will be rewarded with a hundred stones from the Spirit Valley, a hundred jade coins, and five pieces of medium-grade spiritual materials upon confirmation; a person who is a bandit cultivator from the Heavenly Wolf Sect in the late martial arts realm will be rewarded with a reward of 300 stones from the Spirit Valley and a jade coin upon confirmation.
Three hundred, ten pieces of medium-grade spiritual materials, and a bottle of Lingyun Dan. In addition to the above rewards, the loot obtained by the Tianlang bandit cultivator shall be found by the person who captured it."
After the reward was announced, everyone in Mengyu County was excited. Not to mention the huge reward for killing the Heavenly Wolf cultivators, the belongings on those Heavenly Wolf cultivators also belong to the people who captured them. Who doesn't know what happened to the Heavenly Wolf sect monks?
During the time, they looted Mengyu County and made a lot of money. Once they can capture them and find out where the stolen goods are hidden, it will mean a windfall!
However, in the past few days, several villages in Mengyu County have found harassment and destruction caused by the wandering monks of the Tianlang Sect. The casualties and house damage caused have become more and more serious. Although the martial arts monks in various villages and towns also tried to encircle and suppress them, these wandering monks failed.
They were very thieves and would evacuate as soon as they noticed something was wrong. Therefore, although the entire Mengyu County mobilized troops, the results were very few, but the whole Mengyu County was in panic.
Moreover, as the past few days have passed, the monks who were originally defeated are now showing signs of converging. The hilly village of Huangqiu Town was jointly attacked by three monks the day before yesterday.
Previously, Yang Tianggang and others were only thinking about how to eradicate the Tianlang bandit cultivators and save Xishan Village from robbery. Now that the county government has issued a reward order, everyone in Xishan Village is gearing up, thinking that they can earn a generous reward from the county government.
In particular, the middle-grade spiritual materials to be rewarded in the bounty did not specify which ones they were. It was obviously up to the recipients to choose by themselves. Among the twenty-eight medium-grade spiritual materials listed by Lin Chengsi to restore the spiritual source land, the middle-grade spiritual materials were
There are currently four types of high-grade spiritual materials missing, so this is an excellent opportunity.
As for the sixty-seven kinds of spiritual materials that can ensure that the spiritual source land can continue to expand after it is repaired, the gap is even greater. However, these Tianlang bandit cultivators have robbed the warehouse of the town center in Huangshan Town. If they can get the secrets from them,
Where the supplies are located, some of the sixty-seven kinds of spiritual materials can definitely be gathered.
The simple warehouse of the Xishan Village caravan on the flat ground in front of the stage in the village has already been built. The reason why we chose this place is, firstly, because it is open and the loss can be minimized once action is taken; secondly, because Yang Junshan
Lin Chengsi once said that the spiritual source on the West Mountain has a major earth vein passing through it, which can be used to set up formations.
In the past two days, traces of these wandering monks have also been discovered in several villages in Huangtu Town. Several villages have been attacked to varying degrees at night. Xishan Village may have been attacked by attackers because of its strength after the merger of the two villages.
I felt it was troublesome, so I never appeared near Xishan Village.
"There's something wrong with this!"
Yang Tiangang gathered several martial arts monks in the village together again and said: "According to the information I got, the last time the Tianlangmen monks broke into Huangshan Town from Quwu Mountain, there were only more than twenty monks in total, and they were defeated by the border guards.
, about half of the people survived, only a dozen people at most, but if you look at it, villages in six towns in Mengyu County have been attacked in the past few days, and traces of Tianlang bandits have been found in as many villages.
There are more than twenty, which is a bit strange."
Zhang Tiejiang said indifferently: "That's nothing. A dozen people were divided into three groups and took turns to attack. Each wave attacked five or six different villages. In three days, there were more than a dozen people attacked."
Yang Tiangang shook his head and said: "That's not how it is calculated. Firstly, it will be difficult for these people to form an organized attack after they are defeated; secondly, there are signs that they are trying to join together, so it is even less likely to cause such a large-scale destruction;
Third, there are injured among these people, so there is no guarantee that we will attack the village again."
Shi Nansheng said: "Maybe there are other monks from Tianlang Sect who have sneaked in."
Yang Tianggang nodded and said: "This is possible, but under the double blow of border martial law and reward orders, even if someone infiltrated the Tianlang Sect, they should have helped the defeated monks escape. How could they continue to commit crimes against the wind?
"
An Xia couldn't believe it and said, "Third brother, do you mean that someone is fishing in troubled waters?"
Yang Tianggang nodded and said: "To be more precise, someone should be deliberately creating chaos!"
Everyone was shocked. The news coming back from various counties in Yu County in the past two years seemed not to be good. The official forces represented by the Shaking Sky Sect were fighting fiercely with the local forces. The only ones who were calmer were Jin Yu and Meng.
Yu County, Jinyu County was because the local power was weak and was later wiped out by the Shaking Sky Sect, while Mengyu County was because of Chen Jizhen's appeasement policy.
However, after the merger of Xishan Village, the local forces in Mengyu County seemed to have noticed that the county government took the initiative behind this incident. In addition, Mengyu Wei unexpectedly provoked a side provocation, which made the local forces sniff.
When it comes to danger, there is no guarantee that these people will be behind this incident.
Xu Sanniang asked: "Then what should we do?"
Yang Tian just pondered for a moment, but did not answer Xu Sanniang's question. Instead, he turned to Yang Junshan and asked: "How is your formation going? Can it trap the monks in the late martial arts realm?"
Yang Junshan replied: "Early warning talismans have been laid out on the edge of the earth veins that Mr. Lin can find near the entrance of the village. However, these talisman formations cannot cover the entire perimeter of the village. The formations at the fake warehouse have been laid out to trap the late martial artist realm.
It is impossible to defeat a monk, but there is no problem in weakening his strength. When the time comes that you all will swarm forward, you will at least be able to tangle with the incoming enemy, and if you are lucky, you may be able to injure him."
When Yang Junshan spoke, all the martial arts monks in the hall listened attentively. The status of the formation master is quite high in the cultivation world. Yang Junshan has proven his identity as an formation master. Even if Xu Sanniang, Shi Nansheng and others still have doubts in their hearts,
I didn't dare to refute him directly.
At this time, Lin Chengsi on the side smacked his lips and said: "I know the formations. The formations arranged by this boy are rare. At least if he controls the formations himself, I think what he said just now should be corrected.
For a moment, even if the fifth-level peak cultivator comes, we can use our formations to tangle with the enemy, and if we are lucky, we may even cause the enemy to suffer a big loss."
If Yang Junshan's previous words might have been looked down upon by others because he was a junior, then Lin Chengsi, as a well-known spiritual seeker in Mengyu County, could not help but be disbelieved by others.
And this also made Xu Sanniang, Zhang Tiejiang, Shi Nansheng and Li Shaoqun and other martial arts monks who were not completely the same as Yang Tiangang feel bitter in their hearts. Whether they were formation masters or spirit seekers, it only showed that Yang Tiangang's control and authority over Xishan Village had already
It has reached a level that is beyond their reach.
The night breeze is slightly cool. The ones on duty tonight at the fake warehouse are Zhang Tiejiang and Shi Nansheng, two monks at the second level of martial arts. Eight wind chimes hang from eight directions under the eaves outside the temporary warehouse. However, despite the night breeze, these wind chimes
But he remained motionless.
With an oil lamp, a few plates of side dishes, and a jar of old wine, it would be quite comfortable for the two of them to exchange glasses.
But at this moment, the wind chimes hanging in the southwest corner under the eaves suddenly started tinkling. The two people who had just raised the wine glasses froze involuntarily, and a look of surprise flashed across their eyes at the same time.
They both put down their wine glasses.
Blacksmith Zhang stood up, already holding the forging hammer in his hand, while Shi Nansheng tipped an oil lamp on the wine table. The oil flowed to the ground and ignited a green flame, and then a dim khaki light shone on the ground.
The ground flashed away, and the formation under his feet had been activated by cyan flames.
In the Yang family's courtyard, Yang Junshan suddenly sat up from the bed, put on his clothes and came to the courtyard, Yang Tiangang was already standing there facing the southwest and lighting a pot of dry smoke.
