In the dark night, Zhao Ran followed Dongfang Li and walked northwest along the Hechuan Valley.
Zhao Ran was a little unhappy about running out to take risks so late at night: "Senior Brother Li, if you can beat Master Xing into such a state, he is very powerful no matter what he says, right? By the way, I remember Senior Brother Li said that he is at least an Arhat?"
"That's right, well, maybe there's more than one."
"Senior Brother Li, I can't get involved in a fight between masters of your level. Why does Senior Brother Li have to pull me out?"
"Because you are the envoy of Junshan Guard in the West Hall of Sanqing Pavilion. You are my only subordinate at Diaomen Pass. If I don't pull you out, who will I pull?"
Zhao Ran was immediately furious: "Okay... But with my cultivation, I can't help much, right?"
Dongfang Li said: "I heard that you have opened your heavenly eyes and can see the changes in the qi of heaven and earth, so you are extremely talented in formations. I have only heard of monks who have opened their heavenly eyes before, but I have never seen them. Today
I pulled you out just to see you."
Zhao Ran said: "I'm really tired of my reputation... When it comes to formation masters, doesn't Senior Brother Li always have one next to him? Compared to Senior Uncle Cai, how am I qualified? By the way, there is also Yan from our Huayun Pavilion.
Elder, that is also a formation master."
Dongfang Li said: "A formation master like you is gifted with magical powers, which are very rare in the world. Maybe you can't compare with them in terms of knowledge and experience in formations, but the level is completely different. In low-level battles, you can't compete with them."
It’s inconspicuous, but once you enter the high-level realm, it’s a different world.”
Everyone likes to hear good words, and Zhao Ran is no exception, not to mention the words of praise from a master-level master. He felt a little carried away when he heard the words of praise: "Haha, this...Senior Brother Li is over-praising, over-praising.
…”
Dongfang Li shook his head: "This is not an exaggeration, but the truth. To give you the simplest example, you are definitely not my opponent now, but with your talent and understanding of battle methods, as long as you have the opportunity to participate in the battle to become a top-level monk,
Fighting can even play a role in the duel between experts in the Hedao realm, but I can only watch from the side - this is the greatest effect of your innate magical power, so don't belittle yourself."
Zhao Ran smiled and said: "Senior Brother Li, are you serious? Just tell me clearly what you want me to do this time. Junior Brother, although I will not belittle myself, I am still self-aware. I am still a master of martial arts and other things.
You can hide as far away as possible."
The two of them ran quickly for more than half an hour, and when they walked out of the valley, Dongfang Li pointed to a hilltop on the right side in front of him and said: "Following the route of the patrol team at the Diaomen garrison, let's enter the mountain from here."
Zhao Ran didn't say anything, and followed Dongfang Li up the mountain road. The so-called mountain road was actually not a road, but the footprints made by patrol sergeants of the Ming Army all year round. Along this path, the pace of the two men slowed down.
, carefully searching for clues around you.
The night was dark, and the mountains were pitch black. The moonlight was blocked by the woods and could hardly penetrate. But both of them were monks, so there was no obstacle to their vision at night, so the journey went smoothly.
After searching all night, they traveled three hills, but neither of them found anything unusual. At dawn, Dongfang Li said: "Have a rest."
After sitting down, Zhao Ran suddenly asked: "Senior Brother Li, I still don't understand that such a matter requires the master of the West Hall of Sanqing Pavilion to personally take action? Of course, if Senior Brother Li has to explain it by saying that he has done it himself, I have no choice but to
I held my nose and admitted it."
Dongfang Li looked at Zhao Ran for a while, not knowing what to think, and then said: "I want to do it myself."
Zhao Ran nodded: "Okay, I admit it."
After resting for a while, the two of them continued their journey. It was the same as before, one searching the left and the other paying attention to the right. Whenever they saw something slightly wrong, they would stop and take a closer look. If they felt suspicious, they would punch out a defensive talisman.
I don’t know how many defensive talismans Dongfang Li brought out. He used up one after another for two days in a row. I’m afraid he used up nearly a hundred of them.
In the evening, the two came to the main peak of Jiajin Mountain, which was covered by glaciers and snowfields and was extremely cold.
Looking at the top of the mountain standing under the setting sun, Zhao Ran asked: "Brother Li, do you still need to go up to see? The patrol sergeant may not be able to reach such a high place."
Dongfang Li thought for a while and said, "This is the highest point. Let's go up and take a look first."
The two of them jumped across the ice of the cliff and soon reached the top of the peak. Looking around, they saw dozens or hundreds of snow-capped peaks gathered in the distance, glowing with little golden light. It was truly magnificent.
The two of them walked around the peak. Dongfang Li was about to call Zhao Ran to go down with him, but he saw Zhao Ran staring at two snow-covered rocks and looking around, so he asked: "Is there a problem here?"
Zhao Ran said: "There is something strange about this stone."
Dongfang Li played a defensive talisman, and the talisman turned into mana ripples, centered on the rock, spreading out like ripples, but no abnormalities were detected.
Zhao Ran frowned: "That's not right. Could it be that I saw it wrong?"
Dongfang Li seemed to have great confidence in Zhao Ran and asked, "What's wrong? Let me tell you."
Zhao Ran said: "This mountain peak has its own qi circulation, but the flow is blocked by these two rocks. I don't know if someone did it intentionally, or whether it was originally like this."
The sleeves of Dongfang's ceremonial robe flicked, wrapped around the two rocks, and gently moved them aside. There was nothing else under the rocks, but their eyes suddenly lit up!
Dongfang Li wrapped the rock and put it back in place. Zhao Ran shook his head and stepped forward to adjust the position and angle of the rock. He moved it less than half an inch to the left and at the same time, the two rocks each turned slightly to the northeast.
Half a minute - this is the correct position that just blocked the flow of heaven and earth qi.
Move the rocks away and return them to their original positions. Just by comparing them, the effect is immediately apparent. When the two rocks are in their original positions, they are clearly right in front of you, but they are ignored by people. Once they are moved slightly, they immediately become very abrupt.
appeared in sight.
Dongfang Li recalled briefly and found that when he was searching on the peak just now, he actually didn't "see" these two rocks!
Zhao Ran got into the gap between two rocks and squatted down. After this demonstration, Dongfang Li found that he seemed to be unable to see Zhao Ran!
Without a trace of magic power, without laying out a formation disk, just two big rocks were placed on the ground to form a tiny formation that could hide one's body. How amazing this is!
Dongfang Li sighed: "It is indeed the most simple way! Thanks to my junior brother, I can see through it. Is this the result of your opening your eyes? It's really amazing!"
Zhao Ran was also full of admiration: "I can see through it and I can also imitate it, but if you ask me to set up such a magic circle alone, I can't do it at all. I really don't know who the master is! Brother Li, there are actually some people in Buddhism
Do you know who this kind of person is?"
Dongfang Li shook his head and did not answer.
On the main peak of Jiajin Mountain, there is such a hidden formation in the white snow. Who made it? When was it made? Why was it done? Zhao Ran could not answer any of these questions, and could only be filled with questions.
Following the Oriental Rites, I descended the mountain.
