As Jixia's teacher, Fang Xiaojing explained: "According to legend, during the war between Shang and Zhou, there were twelve immortals, each of whom had extraordinary strength."
"This...could it be said that the figure on Luojian Lake is the Twelve Immortals back then?"
"Of course not." Fang Xiaojing shook his head: "This is indeed a formation, but it is not a mortal formation, but a formation created by the Twelve Immortals back then."
"The formation created by the Twelve Immortals? But didn't I just say that this was the formation from the time of the First Emperor?"
"Yes, these two points are not contradictory." Fang Xiaojing explained: "I guess this formation was created by a certain expert during the First Emperor's period who drew lessons from the formations of the Twelve Immortals!"
"I see."
The Jixia students finally came to their senses.
The formation was indeed created by the Twelve Immortals, but the person who set up the formation was not the Twelve Immortals.
When Jiang Yu'er heard this, he already had a guess in his mind... If he guessed correctly, this formation was probably set up by Winning Boss.
In Huai'an County...
Ying Banzi used the strange creatures in the Qing River and the large stone statue as a medium to create a bloody massacre.
And here is Jixia, the capital city of Xianyang, so it is naturally impossible for Yin Banzi to plant any weird creatures, so he directly borrowed the immortal formation of the Twelve Immortals!
"How on earth did you win the half-son? According to the historical records of this world, when the First Emperor ascended to the throne, he was only in his twenties when he won the half-son!"
Jiang Yuer became more and more curious about his son-in-law.
A sword closed the gate of immortality, cutting off the path to immortality in this world.
He also entered the underworld, suppressed the Yamas of the ten directions, and took away the life records in the "Book of Life and Death".
Now the formation of the Twelve Immortals from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties has been deployed in Jixia!
This son’s life experience is simply legendary!
Just thinking about it...
Someone around them spoke again.
"Since there are twelve immortal formations here, then if you want to obtain the treasures at the bottom of the lake, you probably need to break this formation, right?"
"This should be!"
"But, this is the Twelve Immortals Formation? How can we break it?"
"..."
After the discussion, there was silence.
Everyone looks at me and I look at you.
Jiang Yuer naturally wouldn't make too many moves, he was also waiting.
At this moment, a voice sounded.
"If there is really a treasure in the lake, then the time for its birth should be limited. If it continues to be delayed, I wonder when it will be opened next time?"
yes!
Everyone suddenly realized.
Can't wait any longer.
However, who is the first to go up and try... is also a question.
"Why don't we, the Mo family, give it a try?"
At this moment, Mo Jian, who had been in the crowd, spoke up.
As the leader of the Mohist family, he is naturally calm, but now basically all the representatives of various schools of thought are present.
Moreover, there are people from the Night Detective Division guarding the lakeside.
It is basically impossible to "attack secretly" in a sneaky way.
The most important thing is that the situation is now very clear. If you want to enter the bottom of the lake, you must break the formation of these twelve immortals...
After Mo Jian finished speaking, he added: "However, what I have to say is that today my Mo family will take the lead for everyone. If we lose, we will naturally have nothing to say. But if we are lucky enough to break this formation, in this lake
Naturally, our Mo family will have a share of the treasure, what do you think?"
This is very straightforward.
None of you want to come? Then I will!
But don't do it behind my back, and once I get to the bottom of the lake, don't try to fight me again.
"Haha, the Mo family has made a good calculation. Our Taoist sect has six disciples here today, why should you, the Mo family, take the lead?" Fenglingzi laughed.
Last time, in order to get the bronze figure under the big stone statue in Huai'an County, he sat quietly on the big stone statue for a year.
Since everyone knows what is at the bottom of the lake, why bother pretending?
"Why, do you want to go to the Taoist sect first?" Mo Jian sneered and glanced at Feng Lingzi.
"No?" Feng Lingzi asked.
"It seems that the Taoist sect wants to take advantage of the large number of people?" Mo Jian raised the corner of his mouth.
"That's right." Feng Lingzi looked fearless.
"How about we have a fight first?"
"sure!"
The two are arguing.
A voice interrupted the two of them.
Jiang Erlang held a waist knife and stood on a big stone pillar at some point: "My Night Detective Division is in charge of the security of the capital today. If anyone dares to fight here, don't blame me, Jiang Erlang, for not giving him face!"
"..."
Fenglingzi and Mo Jian were stunned for a moment.
Good guy!
This guy... really dares to say it!
However, Fenglingzi and Mo Jian really couldn't argue with Jiang Erlang. After all, this was really the capital, and they couldn't go on a killing spree here.
Jiang Erlang saw that Mo Jian and Feng Lingzi were silent, so he continued: "Now hundreds of families are gathered in Jixia. This is a century-old event for the Qin Dynasty. How can they fight with each other over a mere treasure? In my words
, wouldn’t it be better if we all discuss it and act according to the rules?!”
"How to discuss and how to set the distance? Doesn't your Night Detective Department also want to intervene? This is Jixia!" someone asked.
Jiang Erlang was well prepared and said directly: "This brother is right. This is Jixia. Since it is Jixia, of course it is impossible for our Night Reconnaissance Department to set this distance. Therefore, my suggestion is to let Master set it."
, what do you think?"
"Let Master decide?"
"This suggestion... is quite good!"
"..."
The students immediately agreed.
The representatives of the hundreds of families looked at each other and chose silence.
Jiang Erlang saw that no one stood up to oppose, so he saluted in the air: "Master is a man of virtue and honor. Now that a treasure has been born and hundreds of schools are fighting, why don't Master take charge of it to prevent war?"
After the words fell, everyone was waiting eagerly.
Jiang Erlang appeared to be fair and righteous on the surface, but in reality he was sneering in his heart.
Master, don’t you want to fight for the treasure?
Then I will let you be the ‘host’!
It depends on how you set the rules for this treasure competition. If Master favors Confucianism, then other schools of thought will naturally be dissatisfied. Therefore, Master can only take the fair route.
And, most importantly...
According to normal logic, the host who sets the rules is generally not allowed to participate in the treasure competition!…
This is the biggest reason why Jiang Erlang stood up at this time and announced from the beginning that "there can be no fighting."
…
The master finally showed up.
In the sight of everyone, he walked out slowly.
However, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Erlang's face with a vague look, which seemed to have some deep meaning.
Jiang Erlang ignored him and continued to speak: "Jiang Erlang, deputy head of the Night Detective Department, has met Master! Now there is a treasure at the bottom of Luojian Lake. All the disciples from hundreds of schools want to take a look. In order to avoid disputes among hundreds of families, Master Jiang is invited
Set a distance to show fairness!"
The master glanced at the crowd around him, and finally nodded: "Okay, since Deputy Chief Jiang is here today on the orders of the Queen Mother, I will set a certain distance."
After finishing speaking, he continued: "The formation in this lake is not very dangerous. In order to avoid casualties, please do what you can. My suggestion is that each family sends one person to break the formation. Only the person who breaks the formation can do it."
After entering the formation, as for the order of breaking the formation... it will be decided by drawing lots."
"Draw lots to decide who breaks the formation first?"
"This rule is simple and fair!"
"Yes, just follow this rule."
No one had an opinion.
Fang Xiaojing quietly spoke again at this time: "What does Jiang Yu'er think of the distance set by Master?"
"It's indeed fair." Jiang Yu'er certainly agreed: "The person who draws the first hand may seem to have an advantage, but in fact it may not. The one who draws the second hand can take the opportunity to watch the operation of the formation. Whoever wins,
Both have half and half advantages. After all, if the first mover can break the formation, the second mover will not even have a chance."
"That's true." Fang Xiaojing smiled and nodded.
But at this moment, a voice sounded again.
It was Jiang Chaoge.
"There's something wrong with Master's rules!"
"Oh? Is there anything wrong with my rules?" The Master smiled and looked at Jiang Chaoge.
"Master just said that any one hundred families can send representatives, but what if this person does not belong to one hundred families, or if he is a member of several families at the same time?" Jiang Chaoge asked rhetorically.
"This is quite simple. Anyone who thinks he has the strength and dares to give it a try can participate. It is not limited to one hundred families. Of course, if the person himself belongs to one hundred families, he will not be included in this rule." Master thought.
After thinking about it, I added one more thing.
"Okay, then I have no objection." Jiang Chaoge nodded, and then continued: "Then, I think I have the strength and am willing to give it a try."
"Haha, of course." The master smiled.
He naturally knew the meaning of Jiang Chaoge's words, so this additional rule could actually be said to be solely for Jiang Chaoge's benefit.
However, things always happen unexpectedly...
…
It is not difficult for hundreds of families to select people to break the formation.
Taoism chose Jin Lingzi.
The Mohists came directly from Mo Jian.
Buddhism is of course Samantabhadra.
Then, the unexpected happened.
Representatives of the Yin and Yang family, the Great Master Meng Xingchen and the Prime Minister Han Shen, directly chose to abstain.
This is one of those surprises.
The second surprise is that besides Jiang Chaoge, Jiang Erlang also participated in the event...
When I saw Jiang Erlang signing up...
Everyone around him was speechless.
"Isn't this Jiang Erlang a martial artist? Why would a martial artist join in the fun? Moreover, I heard that he only has one level of cultivation. Is he really not afraid of death?"
Jiang Erlang responded: "What's wrong? I came here according to the rules!"
"..."
Everyone stopped talking.
And the third surprise...
The candidate sent by Jixia Academy turned out to be the Master!
The master seemed to see the doubts in everyone's eyes, and replied very calmly: "What's wrong? I also followed the rules!"
"..." Jiang Erlang.
This old man is indeed very human!
Jiang Erlang was completely convinced this time.
So, he asked Jiang Yu'er to stand up.
"I, Jiang Yu'er, have been traveling in the immortal world for twenty years in my dream, and am the leader of hundreds of schools! Since Master represents Confucianism today, I will participate as a candidate from outside the hundreds of schools."
Jiang Yu'er spoke righteously and sternly.
Others can only be speechless again...
Can you still play like this?
Aren't you a student of the Master? Are you afraid that you want to betray the master?
However, what Jiang Yu'er said is not completely unreasonable, because now everyone knows that Jiang Yu'er is indeed the leader of hundreds of schools.
At this time, Mo Su quietly instilled concepts into Mo Jian: "Master, this Master obviously did this on purpose. Who doesn't know that Jiang Yu'er is a student of Confucianism? If this is the case, our Mo family can also find someone to betray him? As long as
Just wait until you finish grabbing the treasures and then return to the master’s door!”
"It makes sense!" Mo Jian immediately came to his senses: "Su'er, are you willing to betray your master?"
"Disciple is willing!" Mo Su replied respectfully.
"Okay, then you can betray me now."
"I will obey my master's orders!"
After Mo Su finished speaking, he stood up and said, "The head of the Mo family is doing things unfairly. I am the most talented disciple among the younger generation of the Mo family. Now I finally have the opportunity to watch the lost classics of hundreds of schools, but I have to miss the opportunity because I am not qualified to appear?
I, Mo Su, don’t want to do this, so I rebelled against Mo Sect today and participated in breaking the formation as someone from outside the Hundred Sects!”
"..."
When everyone heard this, they were immediately speechless.
Is this too much?!
Pu Xian laughed at this time and looked at Kong Xiang: "Since Confucianism and Mohism have set a precedent, our Buddhist sect should naturally follow the trend."
Kong Xiang understood what Samantabhadra meant, and stood up and said: "The worldly thoughts of the world have troubled me over the years, and I, Kong Xiang, want to return to the secular world today."
"..."
This is all so shameless, right?
Seeing this scene, Jixia students finally couldn't bear it anymore.
one by one shouted.
"Then I'll leave the school too!"
"Okay, I, Feng Lingzi, am leaving Taoism today!"
"..."
The scene finally got completely out of control.
Jiang Erlang secretly glanced at the Master, and as a result, he found that the Master was concentrating with his eyes closed, as if he didn't hear the arguments around him.
"Huh? Master, aren't you in a hurry? He obviously set the rules, but now that this is the result, why does Master have no intention of stopping it?"
Jiang Erlang was thoughtful, and suddenly, he thought of what Master said before.
[This moment is not very good, and Jixia is not under my control now. If possible, I don’t want the bronze man to come out now. 】
"I understand! Master did it on purpose... He deliberately set a flawed rule. The purpose is to make everyone argue endlessly, thereby missing the opportunity to break the formation and the bronze man's moment."
This is the real old cunt!
On the surface, it seemed that the master was ready to fight, but in fact, he had no intention of fighting at all.
Because, as long as the bronze man is still at the bottom of Luojian Lake, he will still be a thing under Jixia!
Fighting means not fighting!
If you don’t fight, you will fight!
"When it comes to means, after all, I am still a little behind my master. I thought that by calling him out to set the rules, everything would be under control. But now it seems that I am still too young."
Jiang Erlang frowned. If he continues to argue like this, the formation will disappear as soon as the time passes. How to break it?
