While protecting Li Fucheng's mental strength, Jiang Beiran began to observe his surroundings.
As Shen Tianhua said, this hall is surrounded by walls and there is no passage to the interior.
'Hey guys... I'm just playing escape room here.'
When Jiang Beiran saw the ancient books for the first time, he asked Shen Tianhua if the tomb was built in a glacier.
The reason is that this ancient book writes how it used formations to freeze itself.
If your guess is correct, the several large-scale formations recorded at the back of the ancient books are probably the other maze formations located in this ancient tomb.
If this is the case, it is equivalent to the tomb owner throwing a strategy guide at the door. As long as the visitor can understand it, he can take away the treasures in his tomb.
To use the special vocabulary in the novel, it is...
Waiting for a destined person.
'Quite naughty.'
"Brother Wang...I'm fine." Li Fucheng, who had regained his composure, raised his head and said.
Hearing the title "Brother Wang", Xiao Qi couldn't help but turn his eyes to Li Fucheng, feeling that this person should have many topics in common with him.
Looking at Li Fucheng who had already stood up, Jiang Beiran slowly withdrew his mental power and asked: "Can you sense the range, nodes, and formation eyes of the four formations?"
Li Fucheng shook his head in shame, "The levels of these four formations are all too high. Although I can sense them, I cannot interpret them."
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran walked to the north pillar, took out the Xuankong Flying Star Disk from the Qiankun Ring, and began to locate it.
But the result was just as Jiang Beiran imagined, just like the sanctuary in the Holy Ruins, the pointer in the center of the Xuankong Flying Star Disk kept shaking, unable to complete the positioning at all.
‘It seems that it is imminent to upgrade the compass.’ Putting away the Xuankong Flying Star Disk, Jiang Beiran tried several other methods to “read the formation”, but the results were not very good.
'These ancient formations are really more difficult to master than the last.'
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran walked back to Li Fucheng and spread out a piece of talisman paper.
"Can the formation level improve?"
Li Fucheng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what Brother Wang meant.
"I will work hard!"
Nodding with satisfaction, Jiang Beiran took out a brush and dipped it in cinnabar and began to draw on the talisman paper. At the same time, he kept reciting terms related to various formations.
Among the people around him, Shen Tianhua's formation skills were the highest.
Although he was confused like everyone else at the beginning and didn't quite understand what Master Jiang was doing, but as time went by, he gradually understood what Master Jiang was doing.
“Teach now and learn now!?”
Shen Tianhua has studied ancient books, but he has never been able to understand the secrets of the formations in ancient books.
If the high-quality formations he had seen before were a foregone conclusion, he could understand the formation of stars and the escape method, but he couldn't understand the combination.
Then this ancient formation means that he can't even understand the most basic conclusion.
Completely confused.
After Jiang Beiran completely drew a [Weixing Sanmi Formation] recorded in ancient books, he looked at Li Fucheng and asked: "Among the four formations you sensed, is this one included?"
Li Fucheng took a deep breath and began to carefully sense the surrounding formation.
Jiang Beiran's purpose of doing this is very simple. With his current ability, it is basically impossible to break the formation without triggering it.
So the way he came up with it was to ask Li Fucheng to point out where the formation eyes and nodes of the [Weixing Sanmi Formation] were, and then he could read the formation based on his description and then break the formation.
It is naturally impossible for Li Fucheng to understand this [Weixing Sanmi Formation] in a short time. After all, even Jiang Beiran only really understood it after studying it with Yan Tianqing for several days.
Therefore, Jiang Beiran did not expect Li Fucheng to directly find out all the formation eyes and nodes and tell him. Instead, he waited for him to sense the layout of the formation, and then slowly taught him how to recognize them.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
Time passed slowly, and the sweat on Li Fucheng's head became thicker and thicker.
It's one thing to be able to sense the formation, but it's another thing entirely to completely recreate the sensed formation in your mind.
There are so many details in it that it is very likely that you will copy them incorrectly, not to mention that reproducing the formation is a very brain-consuming job.
No one else around him could help, so he had to stand there and wait quietly, but Li Fucheng had already left a mark in his heart.
Formation genius.
There are also many people who feel that the word genius is not enough to describe him, so they add the word peerless in front.
It's not that they all understand how difficult what Li Fucheng is doing now, but they know that Jiang Beiran's requirements for accepting disciples are extremely high.
At least until now, every brother they have met has abilities that are different from ordinary people, and they are not just a little different from ordinary people, but completely different.
Therefore, since Li Fucheng is good at formations, he must have a very special talent in formations, otherwise he would not have been brought here.
For a while, most people were holding back their energy, thinking that they must give full play to their areas of expertise later, and they must not embarrass their master.
After another hour passed, the pale Li Fucheng opened his eyes with force and looked at the formation diagram drawn by Brother Wang.
After comparing carefully for an entire hour, Li Fucheng said, "The formation on the south side is this."
"well done."
Patting Li Fucheng's shoulder, Jiang Beiran continued, "From now on, listen carefully to every word I say. I need you to help me find all the nodes of this formation."
"Yes." Li Fucheng nodded seriously.
…
The conversation between the two people that followed was no longer "human talk" to everyone's ears. They knew each other separately, but they didn't know what they were together.
Although Shen Tianhua is the most proficient in formations among the onlookers, he has always felt that he is quite talented in formations.
But while listening to the conversation between the two, he gradually began to have huge doubts about himself.
'He understands? How can he understand again? What on earth does he understand!?'
Also listening to the lecture, Shen Tianhua didn't even understand a general idea, but Li Fucheng was already able to draw inferences from one instance. The gap was so big that he no longer knew what words to use to describe it.
Jiang Beiran was actually surprised. Although he had known for a long time that Li Fucheng was a formation genius, his learning ability was really amazing.
He is completely the kind of student who can absorb as much as the teacher teaches, and he can even answer questions from time to time.
It shows that he has completely understood the knowledge points.
This made Jiang Beiran couldn't help but recall the time when he taught Gao Lanwen how to learn formations. He was really not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods.
He used to think that Gao Lanwen was a relatively smart student, but compared with Li Fucheng, she was really at the level of "Aba Aba".
Finally, after twelve hours of teaching and training, Jiang Beiran finally deduced the layout method of the [Weixing Sanmi Formation] inside the wall.
"It's done, well done." Jiang Beiran looked at Lifu City and said.
"As expected of...the king..." Lifu Cheng fell down straight as he was halfway through his words. Fortunately, Jiang Beiran caught him in time.
No need to check, Jiang Beiran also knew that Lifu City was mentally exhausted. Jiang Beiran even felt that he should have been mentally exhausted a long time ago. Sensing the unfamiliar ancient formation was already an extremely mentally draining thing.
You also need to learn new knowledge points while maintaining the replica formation.
Under such circumstances, he persisted for a whole day. This willpower can be regarded as the best choice.
"Brother Wang, let me take care of him." At this time, Xiao Qi took the initiative to walk up to Jiang Beiran and said.
Nodding, Jiang Beiran handed the unconscious Lifu City to Xiao Qi, and then walked towards the stone wall to the south.
'Today this south wall... I've hit it!'
Now that the formation layout has been determined, although the difficulty of breaking this ancient formation has been reduced, it is still not an easy task.
Placing his hand on the south wall, Jiang Beiran began to compose the picture in his mind.
Using violence to destroy the formation is always the stupidest way, not to mention that the stone wall here is probably not that easy to destroy, so what Jiang Beiran has to do is to restore the big picture behind the wall while keeping everything intact.
Array.
Because of the help from Lifu City, Jiang Beiran took this step extremely easily, and the entire [Micro Star Scattering Formation] composed of countless runes was quickly displayed in front of him.
After seeing the formation clearly, Jiang Beiran pulled out one hundred and forty-eight silver talisman papers from the Qiankun Ring.
"Mysterious essence is as wonderful as floating clouds, and it carries light and is mighty."
"The energy seems to be like floating clouds, rising to the sky with seven changes."
The next second, all the silver symbols automatically flew away from Jiang Beiran's right hand, flying in the air with bright light.
When the silver talisman gradually flew to where it should go, Jiang Beiran pinched the roots of his four fingers with his big fingers.
"son."
Pinch the top of the four fingers with your thumb.
"not yet."
Pinch the base of the four fingers with your thumb.
"Do it."
…
After performing the Nine-Nine-Eighty-One Technique in a row, all the silver talismans in the air were stuck on various positions on the wall, and they were emitting shimmers of various colors, which was really spectacular.
Many people present saw Jiang Beiran's formation for the first time, but other than reverence, there was no surprise in their hearts.
After all, in their hearts, Jiang Beiran was already a god-like figure, and anything he did was normal.
But as the saying goes, laymen watch the fun, and insiders watch the door.
Compared with others, Shen Tianhua is different. Maybe in the eyes of others, Jiang Beiran's method is already very powerful, but in his opinion, this is simply a miraculous skill!
'Can not Understand it!'
Ever since he met Master Jiang, Shen Tianhua's confidence in formations has completely disappeared.
He has studied formations for so many years and thinks that his understanding of formations is very deep.
But after seeing Jiang Beiran's various methods, he found that he was just digging a small hole in the soil of the formation and was complacent, thinking that he had dug very deep.
Simply ridiculous!
For example, now he has no idea what Jiang Beiran is doing. Why is it necessary to use talisman paper to break the formation? He has never heard of this method.
When Shen Tianhua was shocked to be a heavenly being, Jiang Beiran continued to chant the formula.
"Knowing the changes will lead to good and bad luck, and entering the Dou Sui will pass the heavenly pass."
"According to the laws and regulations, Lu Xi governs the armor and honors, and he performs the duties of heaven and earth as a hero."
As soon as Jiang Beiran finished speaking, the light emitted by the talisman papers on the wall gradually dissipated, leaving only some of the talisman papers still emitting a faint light, and without exception, they were all yellow light.
This is a formation-breaking method developed by Jiang Beiran by combining talismans and formations, aiming to quickly identify key nodes in the formations.
After observing the talisman with yellow light, Jiang Beiran mobilized his mental power to penetrate into the wall and began to break the formation.
'Um?'
Just when Jiang Beiran opened the first node, he couldn't help but feel stunned, because at the moment he opened the node, the talisman papers emitting yellow light "went out", and other talisman papers lit up instead.
Yellow light.
'How can it be!?'
Because there is only one reason why this can happen, and that is because the formation changes on its own!
‘There is still such an operation!?’
Jiang Beiran has broken countless formations in his life, but this is the first time he encountered this situation. Doesn't this mean that the formations are intelligent?
After lowering his head and being silent for a moment, Jiang Beiran tried to break the formation again. This time, he made a new discovery.
That is, the [MSI Scattered Formation] will not change as a whole, but the key nodes will keep changing positions. That is, it is impossible to open up all the nodes without thoroughly understanding its rules.
'interesting.'
After understanding this, Jiang Beiran became interested. This was equivalent to a test question set by the organizer on the formation. Only by successfully solving the question could the formation be broken.
This made Jiang Beiran feel more and more that the tomb owner must have been a very interesting person during his lifetime, and he would not stop even after he died.
With the direction in hand, Jiang Beiran began to make constant trials and errors. As the key nodes changed again and again, Jiang Beiran suddenly caught a pattern.
'Is this...a chess game?'
After having this conjecture, Jiang Beiran took out two chess boxes from the Qiankun Ring and grabbed a handful of black stones and a handful of white stones respectively.
"call out!"
Jiang Beiran flicked his index finger, and a black stone went up the wall. Then more chess pieces were flicked up by Jiang Beiran, and the more Jiang Beiran flicked, the brighter his eyes became.
'It is indeed so...wonderful, wonderful!'
'Use the chess pieces to lay out, use the nine palaces to combine the earthly branches, the fifth palace in the middle and the tenth earthly palace, and then arrange the ten stems according to the order of the palaces.'
'Build the building and remove it, set up the Qinglong, open eight gates, with the Rigan Palace as the main one, and the Rizhi Palace as the guest, and the affairs will be settled!'
'It can be said that the Yinfu Qimen has been used to the extreme.'
"Wonderful! Wonderful!"
This was the first time for Jiang Beiran to see such an interesting formation. This simply put an extremely strong lock on the formation. The way to break it was to play a game of chess with the person who set up the formation.
'What the hell... a Talisman Master who can't play Go is not a good Formation Master?'
'Why don't you show off your talents with me?'
But of course Jiang Beiran is not afraid, it’s just Go, I’ll play a game with you.
After observing the chess pieces on the wall, Jiang Beiran sucked them back into his hand with his right hand, and then rearranged them according to the formation.
An hour later, I heard a loud "rumbling" sound.
The south wall actually began to sink slowly, revealing a passage leading to the interior.
'Tsk, I didn't expect it to be a stinky chess piece.' Jiang Beiran, holding a black piece, said disdainfully in his heart.
