The mask is thick and somewhat turbid. Although it is not as tight as when Huang Wu concealed it, there are still some blurry movements.
And in addition to this layer of light mask, there seems to be another layer of gestures inside. In the center of the light mask, there is a vague round pillar several feet high, with some ancient patterns and ancient inscriptions on it. What is it specifically and how many people are there?
I can't see clearly anymore.
Because as soon as the spiritual consciousness touches the light mask, it is completely bounced back, unable to penetrate at all.
What's even more weird is that many slender seven-color light strips are wandering erratically between the light masks, as if they are alive, looking abnormal and strange.
Several other people also saw all this at this time and couldn't help but marveled.
Bai Ran's face turned gloomy, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Although he didn't know much about the setting up of ancient formations, he had seen quite a few ancient formations in Xin Ruyin's various classics.
The appearance and smell of the formation in front of me does not seem to be that of some ancient magic formation. Instead, it has a somewhat evil attitude.
Thinking of this, Bai Ran turned his head and glanced at Shi Die not far away.
She was seen looking at the formation curiously, without any unusual expression on her face.
This made Bai Ran, who was not very proud of his battle strategy, feel relieved and somewhat self-deprecatingly thinking that he had made a wrong judgment.
"Okay! I think it's getting late. Brother Bai and others have come all the way, so we should rest a little longer. Let's start to officially break the formation tomorrow! Looking at the posture of this formation, it can't be broken in an instant.
It fell!" Hu Yue said to Bai Ran and others very considerately at this time.
After hearing this, Bai Ran felt that he was indeed a little tired after traveling for such a long time, so he did not protest.
However, when the Stone Fairy saw the true face of the great formation, he was quite eager to get involved. Just seeing what Hu Yue said, it was difficult to say anything to the two of them.
Everyone then returned to the stone house.
Because the house was not enough, Bai Ran and the others randomly collected some soil and built a few more mud houses. Then, after using the technique of petrification to turn the stone houses into stone houses, they officially moved in. They and Shi Die arrived near the light mask.
, various calculations and special tests were carried out.
The entire formation breaking process is very slow.
Especially at the beginning, both of them felt a little confused about where to start. They often encountered some difficulties that could not be solved, and there was no progress for several days.
But no matter what, the magic circle is dead and people are alive!
As long as there is enough time to figure out and study, even the strangest formations will be gradually cracked.
With the full cooperation of Bai Ran and this woman, this so-called ancient magic formation was no exception. The inside story of this formation was still figured out bit by bit by the two of them.
During this process, Bai Ran's view of this female cultivator surnamed Shi also changed greatly.
Although this woman is a little arrogant, she really has some abilities.
Not only did she know all the large and small formations spread out at a glance, but she also calculated the layout of the formations without missing a beat and was extremely meticulous. This made Bai Ran admire her very much!
According to his opinion, although this woman's achievements in the theory of magic circle are not as fierce as that of Xin Ruyin, there is not much difference.
But while Bai Ran admired him, he was also a little confused.
Why are the formation masters he knows all women? Could it be that female monks are naturally gifted in formations?
However, compared with Xin Ruyin, this stone fairy seems to still have the taste of sitting and talking.
Although the theories of various formation methods are clear and logical, there are really too few ways to break the formation. Just a few back and forth. If there is no effect, this woman will just stare and be helpless.
And Bai Ran's half-baked knowledge of formations is naturally far inferior to him in terms of calculation.
He was very self-aware and did not argue with this woman on this matter. Instead, he used Xin Ruyin's various formation-breaking techniques in a targeted manner, which moved this woman a lot!
Therefore, after a tacit understanding between Bai Ran and the stone fairy, they actually formed a cooperation whereby the female monk would calculate and find the flaws in the magic circle, and then Bai Ran would try to eliminate them.
In this way, not only did the development of breaking the formation increase significantly, but the two of them learned a lot of things that were lacking from each other. Both of them couldn't help but be very satisfied.
As for Jin Qing and others who could not intervene at the moment, he meditated in the stone house to refine his Qi and waited quietly for the two of them to break the formation.
One day three months later, Bai Ran and Shi Die called everyone else to the front of the slope.
Because after these days of busy work, the formation has finally been cracked and has reached the final restriction.
As long as this restriction is broken, the strange stone pillar will be completely exposed to the world.
The mask at this time was now very different from what Bai Ran saw at first.
Not only has the area shrunk by less than half, but the color of the mask is no longer the original dim yellow, but has become the color of a red flame. Anyone who walks a little closer can feel an oncoming hot smell.
What is even more surprising is that the colorful light strips in the light shield wall have now turned into many winged fire snakes, crawling everywhere on the shield wall, constantly spitting out thin flames.
"What kind of monster is this?" Jin Qing couldn't help but asked in surprise when he saw this scene.
Several other people also had surprised expressions on their faces.
"Fire demon spirit wings are very rare. They can only be formed in very special places. They have a very short lifespan. They often dissipate on their own after surviving for a few hours. But they naturally generate demonic fire that can be sprayed out.
It is no less ferocious than the elixir fire of our monks, and it likes to devour the souls of ordinary people and the souls of immortal cultivators.
, it is very difficult to block the Tang Dynasty. And this last restriction is obviously to make this place constitute the land of three Yangs, so the talents of these fire spirits will continue to live in poverty. If there are monks who don't know the inside story, they can forcefully break the restriction.
, I will definitely not be able to escape the stinging hands of these evil wings." Shi Die explained to the side with a bit of complacency.
After all, the origin of these "evil wings" that few people knew was what she thought of first.
"Evil wings?" Jin Qing and others couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard that these things could actually swallow souls.
"We have been called here. The two Taoist friends have obviously found a way to solve the problem, so we have warned you not to give in." The monk surnamed Jian, who usually rarely speaks, suddenly said a little unexpectedly.
After everyone else was quietly startled, they looked at this woman and Bai Ran.
Bai Ran smiled quietly on his face and said nothing. But Shi Die smiled and said softly:
"Lao Bai and I had a headache at first, but after a few days of discussion, we finally came up with a safe way to break the restriction, but this requires your strength."
Although this woman has an average appearance, her movements are extremely loud, which makes her look a little more charming for a while.
"Tell me, Fairy Shi. We will do whatever you and fellow Taoist Bai tell us." Hu Yue said with a smile.
After hearing this, Shi Die started to give instructions without giving in.
"To break this formation, we need to rely on several water-specific magic weapons that are incompatible with each other. Elder Bai and I have gathered a few together. It only requires a few fellow Taoists to hold these magic weapons and stand in the position we told them. When
After Elder Bai broke down the protective shield, several fellow Taoists used these magic weapons to destroy some of the evil wings that had slipped through the net."
"Fellow Taoists, please do not use magic weapons to attack these demonic spirits. These are naturally occurring fire spirits, which we cultivators usually avoid. Don't let them get close to you, otherwise you will be in great trouble."
Bai Ran also gradually made up for it.
Seeing Bai Ran's calm expression, Hu Yue and others looked at each other and responded with awe in their hearts.
Then, Bai Ran took out a small ruler, a small hammer, and a small fork from his body and gave them to Jin Qing, Qu Hun, and the monk named Jian respectively, and Shi Die there also took out a blue piece.
The silk pa was handed over to Hu Yue.
Then, under Shi Die's guidance, several people took up positions nearby. Shi Die himself also hurriedly retreated to the outside. He also took out a short sword weapon and watched Bai Ran's actions attentively.
Bai Ran did not start in a hurry, but carefully looked around the surroundings from the beginning. When he felt that there was nothing wrong, he waved his hands reassuringly, and dozens of blue formation flags, formation plates and other uniform water-flavored formation equipment were displayed.
Quan flew out of the storage bag and began to wander around Bai Ran.
Without saying a word, he flicked his fingers slightly, and the sounds of "pop" and "pop" came one after another.
All these flags and disks flew around the red mask in response, and then gradually fell down according to a certain rule.
If it is a formation flag, the flagpole is inserted directly into the ground a few inches. If it is a formation plate, it is floating steadily a few inches above the ground, forming a majestic formation.
