A tall old man came in, wearing a gray robe that looked like it hadn't been washed for many days, and there was a lot of dirt on the trousers.
Looking at that face again, the untrimmed beard, hurried expression and bloodshot eyes looked very abnormal.
He walked to the end of Guijianchou, where there was nothing but mountain walls and cliffs.
However, Jiang Chen discovered that he was flying into the sky and flying to the opposite stone wall, holding something similar to a compass in his hand.
Jiang Chen recognized what it was, he also had one in his previous life.
Formation!
It is an indispensable and important prop for setting up and breaking formations.
The Flying Sword Formation that Jiang Chen set up before could not use this thing, because the range of the formation was only twenty meters, and there were only four formation flags.
However, if you want to set up a formation that covers the entire city, it is easy to make mistakes just by relying on your brainpower.
A formation with a range of up to a kilometer requires at least hundreds of five-element formation flags. Not only the place where they are inserted is particular, but the method of insertion is also different.
The importance of the formation plate is immediately apparent.
As the Tiandao Sect is one of the top ten sects, it is natural to have a mountain-protecting formation, which is definitely a huge project.
Jiang Chen was bored and looked at the old man holding the array disk and mumbling something.
Soon, the stone wall emitted a dazzling light, and densely packed words and patterns appeared, forming a circle with a blank center.
"Heavenly stems and earthly branches?"
A large formation is not only incredibly powerful and vast in area, but it can also be maintained for a period of time, at least several decades.
Over time, various problems may easily occur and require maintenance.
The words and patterns that Jiang Chen sees now are the core of the formation layout and the ideas, so that future generations can easily understand and improve or enhance them.
It is a very conventional method to record using the ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches.
After watching for a while, Jiang Chen discovered a problem, but the old man was at a loss as to what to do, and his expression became more and more anxious.
His name is Mo Xu, the Supreme Elder of Tiandao Sect. Because he has great experience in battle tactics, he is responsible for the mountain-protecting formation of Tiandao Sect.
This is a task with great responsibility. The mountain protection formation is directly related to the survival of Tiandao Sect.
During this time, Mo Xu discovered that there was something wrong with the mountain-protecting formation. It was like a patient suffering from a stubborn disease, and the power of the formation was gradually losing its power.
Mo Xu didn't dare to neglect and started to check.
It's okay if I don't check, but I'll be shocked if I check.
The situation of the mountain-protecting formation is far more serious than imagined, and the formation is on the verge of collapse.
He looked around for repairs, but fell into deeper despair.
"The predecessors had flaws when they deployed the mountain-protecting formation, and they accumulated to the point where it exploded today, and it happened to fall on me!"
Mo Xu was anxious because of this. No matter what the reason was, if there was a problem with the mountain protection formation when he was in office, he would be in big trouble.
"But, what can be done?"
Mo Xu looked at the condition of Gui Jianchou's formation, his heart sank to the bottom, and he suddenly felt powerless.
"Senior, what are you doing standing still? Nanwu, Dong Chou has gone awry, and there has been a misalignment between Ding and A. Please recover quickly."
At this time, a voice reached Mo Xu's ears, and he remembered that he seemed to have seen a disciple when he came in.
"To put it lightly, this is already a terminal illness, and it will collapse if you move around." Mo Xu subconsciously replied.
Immediately, he turned his head in disbelief and found that Jiang Chen was as young as he imagined, and his expression became extremely wonderful.
"Is this terminally ill? Okay, I am idle and I am idle. I will teach you. If you do as I say, you will be successful."
Jiang Chen didn't seem to notice his expression and said: "You move Dong Chou, move down."
Mo Xu hesitated for a moment and did as he said.
At first, Mo Xu was frightened, fearing that something would go wrong, but gradually, he followed Jiang Chen's train of thought, figured out the key, and was immediately shocked.
Finally, Mo Xu stepped back with anticipation, and then he saw that the movement of the heavenly stems and earthly branches became extremely smooth.
"Little friend!"
Mo Xu ran to Jiang Chen with an excited look on his face. Just as he was about to say something, the formation diagram on the stone wall went awry again.
"Is this? Treating the symptoms but not the root cause? Why is this happening?" Mo Xu didn't understand what was going on.
"This is only a part of the formation. The entire formation is in chaos. Of course it cannot be alone." Jiang Chen said.
Upon hearing this, Mo Xu danced excitedly, which confirmed that Jiang Chen's formation skills were extremely high.
However, what puzzled him was why Jiang Chen was so proficient in formations at such a young age.
All kinds of questions made him frown. He looked at Jiang Chen seriously and said, "Are you an outer disciple? Why are you facing the wall here?"
"You were caught when you committed a crime." Jiang Chen said.
"What happened?"
Jiang Chen glanced at him and then told him about the matter in Xuanji Palace.
"That's it? You were brought to face the wall by Guijianchou?" Mo Xu was not good at dealing with the world, so he could hear something unusual and felt that Jiang Chen had offended someone.
"Anyway, this is the sentence imposed by the fair and strict Criminal Law Hall."
"You can ask for a fair trial without serving the punishment of a disciple of the law hall." Mo Xu said puzzled.
Fair trial is a provision of the Criminal Law Hall.
Disciples who are dissatisfied with the verdict and believe they have been wronged can file for a fair trial and prove their innocence.
"I have no one to support me, so what if I win the trial? In the end, I don't let others say what is right or wrong."
"I'll help you." After hearing what he said, Mo Xu said without thinking.
"Senior, what's your status in the sect?" Jiang Chen looked at him with suspicion.
Mo Xu was so angry that he blew his beard. He was obsessed with formations and didn't know anything about Tiandao Sect's affairs, but he knew his importance to the sect.
If nothing else, he is a Supreme Elder, and this status alone is enough.
"You can go, but if you win, the Criminal Law Hall will still target you. I will tear down the Criminal Law Hall!"
"real?"
"really!"
"Then I'll just walk out?" Jiang Chen pointed at the entrance to Guijianchou and stared at Mo Xu's face.
"Go ahead, let me think about what you just said."
Ghosts are worried about being unattended, and this is true everywhere facing a wall.
If a punished disciple leaves the place facing the wall without authorization, the punishment will be very serious.
Jiang Chen dared to leave because he had his own plans. Elder Mo's words were so confusing that he would never believe him casually.
But the other party was holding a formation disk and maintaining the mountain-protecting formation of Tiandaomen. This was definitely not an ordinary elder.
Therefore, Jiang Chen swaggered back to his residence.
Along the way, the disciples I met felt like they were seeing ghosts.
Pushing the door open, Jiang Chen smelled a pungent smell of medicine, and his expression changed. At this moment, a pretty maid walked towards him.
"Who are you? Why are you here where I live?"
"I am the princess's personal maid, here to take care of Meng Hao."
"Meng Hao? What happened to Meng Hao?" Jiang Chen asked.
The maid couldn't bear to say it and led him to the bed.
Jiang Chen's face turned ugly, and Meng Hao was seriously injured. More than half of his bones were broken, he was bleeding heavily, his nose was blue and his eyes were swollen, and he was lying unconscious on the bed.
"what happened?"
"On the day you went to Guijianchou, Zheng Ping brought people here and said that Meng Hao had stolen his things. He broke in and searched for the stolen things, so he beat Meng Hao like this."
"This is clearly revenge, doesn't the sect care?"
"Meng Hao is not a disciple of the Tiandao Sect."
Yes, Meng Hao's identity is just Jiang Chen's follower. If it weren't for Wen Xin's kindness, he would have died here long ago.
