Green mountains and green waters make it rare to rest, and living in a place outside the world gives you a sense of leisure.
Looking at the mystery and beauty of this place, Xia Shang had an idea. Can he bring all his family here, stay away from the worldly life, and stop caring about the grudges?
This should have been the kind of life Xia Shang yearned for, but Xia Shang now obviously cannot make such a decision.
However, it does not rule out that one day in the future, when Xia Shang is desperate or when he retires from success, he will take the people he cares about to escape here.
This is a beautiful vision, but before that, Xia and Shang had to follow the original plan to turn this out-of-this-world place into the base of Mingjiao.
In a matter of months, life has become simpler.
The primary issue facing Xia and Shang was how to control the great formation in this out-of-this-world place.
If it weren't for the guidance of ancient books that specifically recorded this formation, Xia Shang would never have had the idea of mastering this Qimen formation. But with the guidance of books, and some of the foundations of Yi learning that Xia Shang already had, he finally came up with the idea of mastering this formation.
After a month, he completely mastered the strategy of opening and closing the formation.
Xia Shang is different from Lu Baiyang, the previous owner here. Lu Baiyang only knows how to enter and exit, but does not understand the principles, so he cannot grasp the various changes of this formation at all.
After Xia Shang's research, this formation is far from simple as currently understood.
At this moment, what this formation shows is only one of the eighteen changes of the formation, just one of its forms.
This formation contains six small formations. Each small formation hides an formation eye. Each formation eye corresponds to three different formation forms. Each form can hide this place among the hilly terrain.
According to the transformation of the formation, even if you know the entry and exit method of a certain form or the method of breaking it, you cannot escape the shackles of the formation.
It can be said that as long as you master the principles of the great formation, even if there are thousands of troops from the outside, no one will be able to break into it. And the people living inside, if you don't know how to do it, even if you have the ability to go to heaven and earth.
Actually, it would be a foolish dream to leave this place.
When Lu Baiyang was here, his main purpose was to escape from the world, so it was just right to keep this place hidden in a world surrounded by hills.
But if Xia and Shang wanted to spread Mingjiao here, it was obvious that they couldn't hide it from the outside world forever.
Therefore, Xia Shang wanted to take advantage of this
This formation is used as a defense, not to hide from the world. What Xia Shang needs to do now is to adjust the formation to a closed state, so that this land of mountains and rivers can reappear in the world.
This task sounds easier than it is done. Although it is a method to master, it is very difficult to actually apply it in practice. It is necessary to adjust some landscape layouts in every corner of this world. After all, it is a huge formation, and it involves
The changes to the landscape are relatively large, and they have to be assigned to a group of men in Xian'er's hands to work on them separately.
There is a sword platform on the top of the mountain, with a cliff on one side and a green bamboo forest on the other. From the sword platform, you can clearly see the clear lake below, the hazy hills in the distance, and a few red-crowned cranes who don't know where they live.
Flying in the clouds and mist, with people among them, the scenery is like a fairyland, which was Xia Shang's favorite place.
Xia Shang ordered his men and decided to close the formation today.
After everything was ready, I went to the sword platform again and picked up stones as usual to record the days on the bluestone floor of the sword platform.
The word "正" has been written on the ground for seven and a half months, and it seems that more than a month has passed.
Looking at the marks on the ground that he personally recorded, Xia Shang couldn't believe that time passed so quickly.
"I don't know what day it is anymore..." Xia Shang scratched his head and couldn't remember what year or month it was now.
On the other hand, the apprentice came back from sword practice, covered in fragrant sweat, and responded abruptly: "It must be July."
"July? Does it go by so fast?"
Xue Lengxiang stood behind Xia Shang with a smile, thinking about the many longings Master had said these days, and replied with a chuckle: "Master said he likes to live outside the world, but he has stayed in this world for too long
, don’t you still miss the outside world?”
Xia Shang frowned, now he couldn't even figure out what he wanted in life.
But this is also human nature. The life you can’t get is the life you want, right?
"Isn't this great? If you are fed up with the secular world, you come here to escape, and when you want to return to the secular world, you go back. This is something that many people would not envy!"
"That's true." Xia Shang nodded.
"I heard that Master will close the formation here today. By then, people in the secular world will be able to see this place, and we will be able to return to the secular world. Speaking of which, my disciple also misses his father and younger brother."
Xia Shang took a look
Looking at Xue Lengxiang, she whispered: "You can't leave."
Xue Lengxiang was stunned when he heard this and seemed to have no reaction.
"Um?"
"You cannot leave here within three years."
"Within three years, I...why?"
"You have to stay in seclusion for three years and cultivate yourself. This is also the punishment given to you by the teacher. The lives of more than 300 people from the Haisha Gang are not a small thing. If you think that the teacher will not care about you, you really think that what you have done is
Is it the right thing to do? Although these people have committed heinous crimes, does everyone deserve to die? No matter what your reasons are, killing so many people should never be something that can be forgiven at will. This matter is about the law of heaven and humanity. If I am like this
It makes me feel uneasy when my master indulges me and ignores me. But for the sake of the lives of three hundred thieves, it would be unethical to blame you too much. Therefore, I punish you to stay at the sword stand for three years and use these three years to practice your sword well.
, take a good rest and recuperate your mind.”
"Master...I..."
"Stop talking, this is my decision. Again, the kung fu in the "Book of Heaven" is full of dangers. You are not allowed to practice internal skills in these three years. You should concentrate on studying swordsmanship and feel the magic here.
Mountains, mountains and rivers are helpful to your character."
Xue Lengxiang was a little dissatisfied, but this was Master's order. Even if he was dissatisfied, he could not disobey it. He could only nod angrily: "Yes, Master."
As soon as Xue Lengxiang finished speaking, the clouds and mist outside the sword platform suddenly changed significantly.
All the clouds and fog are dissipating, and the hazy hills in the distant sky are gradually becoming clearer.
This landscape no longer has a hazy artistic conception, and all the scenery has become less exciting and more ordinary than before.
In just a quarter of an hour, the clouds cleared and the fog dispersed, the sun shone brightly, the red-crowned cranes in the clouds and mist disappeared, and a group of tits who came from nowhere flew to the sword platform and watched curiously, like a group of new guests.
Arrived in a new and strange world.
Further away, the line of sight became clearer, and Xia Shang could see the official road several miles away.
And these official channels have never been seen before.
You can even see carriages on the official road and pedestrians coming out of the carriages.
Xia Shang looked at them from a distance, and they seemed to be looking at this place from a distance.
Xia Shang nodded: "It seems that the formation has been closed."
