Chapter 133 Demon Relics?
Chapter 133 Demon Relics? (Seeking monthly ticket)
Xuanzhou.
Donghe County, Cang County.
This place used to be the territory of the Xuanming Sect. After the Xuanming Sect was destroyed, it was incorporated into the sphere of influence of the Shenjian Sect.
After years of governance, the influence of the Xuanming Sect has been basically eliminated.
The Xingye Mountains are a long and narrow mountain range that stretches for dozens of miles in Cang County. With the alienation phenomenon in recent years, strange beasts have frequently appeared in the mountains and forests, making it more dangerous.
Strange beasts often attack human villages.
At this time, in a canyon on Qingping Ridge deep in the Xingye Mountains, clouds and mist were rising, and green miasma was everywhere, and faint sounds of beast roars could be heard from it.
On the periphery, a large area of tents was built.
As early as a month ago, the Divine Sword Corps was dispatched to Xuanzhou in the name of training and stationed in Qingping Ridge of the Starry Night Mountains.
Thousands of Divine Sword Legions have surrounded Qingping Ridge, making it difficult for birds to get in.
At this moment, on a high hillside, more than a dozen figures were standing, looking at the canyon filled with poisonous gas, all with solemn expressions.
Leading the group were the two great celestial beings of the Divine Sword Sect, Xiao Wendao and Hou Shuwen, the master of Guiyi Peak.
"Uncle Master, this is not a solution. The risk is too great."
Hou Shuwen said with a heavy heart.
Originally, they thought that this ancient relic would be a great opportunity for the Divine Sword Sect, but they did not expect the risk to be so great. They had suffered heavy losses before even entering.
"Yes, the poisonous formation outside is only secondary. There is also a powerful poisonous beast inside, not to mention the situation inside."
Xiao asked and sighed.
Last time, Xie Tiancheng, the leader of Wu Qu Peak, volunteered to lead the team in, but they were almost wiped out under the attack of the poisonous beast. It was Xie Tiancheng who stayed behind and held back the poisonous beast, which allowed the survivors to escape. Xie Tiancheng died in the beast and even his body could not be retrieved.
Moreover, those who escaped were also poisoned, causing huge and irreversible damage.
"It would be great if we could break the formation outside and dispel the poison."
Hou Shuwen said.
Due to the influence of the formation, their spiritual perception will be disturbed, and the poisonous beast is hiding in the dark, ready to attack at any time, making it impossible to defend against.
"The formation master of my Divine Sword Sect only knows a little bit about it and is unable to crack it."
Wan Xiangu, the leader of Zidian Peak next to her, said.
The Divine Sword Sect also has formation masters, who are mainly responsible for maintaining the formations in the Sword Grinding Cave and the Sword Tomb. Therefore, their formation level is very poor, and they have no ability to break the formations at all.
There is no way, the knowledge about formations is too scarce.
Each martial arts force is proud of its own knowledge. It is said that only the royal family and the three major sects may have the most comprehensive knowledge of formations.
"Why not ask the royal family for support?"
Hou Shuwen suddenly said.
"If the royal family gets involved, I'm afraid our Divine Sword Sect will just be left with nothing."
Wan Xiangu said.
"But under the current circumstances, we have no way of excavating this ancient relic."
Hou Shuwen smiled bitterly.
With the loss of a peak master and many martial arts masters, the loss of the Divine Sword Sect was already great enough.
If we put more effort into it, the consequences will be disastrous.
He had tried to go in before. But in the end he was forced to withdraw because under the influence of the formation, the vitality of heaven and earth inside was extremely chaotic and even contained poison. As a result, his advantage as a celestial being would be greatly affected.
"Wait a minute."
Xiao asked in a deep voice.
He was indeed unwilling to give up the ancient ruins just like that.
"You stay here, I'm leaving for a while."
He looked at Hou Shuwen, then moved, soared into the air, and flew away.
"What is Master Uncle doing?"
Wan Xiangu was very curious.
"do not know."
Hou Shuwen was also confused.
Could it be that my uncle-master has any other solution?
Chen bell tower.
After Li Qian had just rung the bell, he sat cross-legged with Sword Eighteen placed horizontally, and was comprehending the Wuxin Sword Intent.
Although the comprehension of sword intent is very slow, we cannot stop.
Anyway, his practice is very regular now.
His time is fully scheduled with the practice of Wuxin Sword Technique, the comprehension of Wuxin Sword Intent, the cultivation of Dahe Sword Qi, the improvement of Qi and Blood Sanctuary, and the study of the Lion Camel Ridge Formation Solution.
After a long time, Li Qian opened his eyes.
He suddenly heard voices talking below.
He stood up, holding Sword Eighteen, and jumped off the bell tower. He saw a girl of about twelve or thirteen, with bright white teeth, talking to Liu Ming.
"uncle."
When the girl saw Li Qian coming down, she hurried forward to greet him.
"Yu Wei, why are you here?"
Li Qian nodded.
This is Li Kun’s youngest daughter, Li Yuwei.
At the beginning, Li Qian sent someone to deliver a marrow cleansing demon pill back, and used it on Li Yuwei. Therefore, Li Yuwei had good bones, reaching the level of lower-grade golden bones. She passed last year's inner sect assessment and became an inner sect disciple of the Divine Sword Sect. She was accepted as a personal disciple by an elder of the Divine Sword Sect.
"Uncle, Grandpa is going to hold a 60th birthday party, I plan to go back."
Li Yuwei said softly.
She lived in a scholarly family and was brought up to study from a young age. Even after she entered the Divine Sword Sect and became an inner disciple to practice martial arts, she still had the temperament of a lady from a noble family.
"Sixty?"
When Li Qian heard this, he was slightly surprised.
Before I knew it, another ten years had passed.
He remembered that the last time he went back, or the first time he went back to the Li family, was Li Donglin’s 50th birthday party.
"Yu Wei, then please bring me something back."
Li Qian said.
"Yes, uncle."
Li Yuwei didn't ask her uncle why he didn't go back.
She was smart and sensible since she was young, so she knew a little bit of the inside story.
After Li Yuwei left, Li Qian suddenly looked at Liu Ming and said with a smile: "Liu Ming, are you planning to stay in Chenzhongtai forever? Don't you have any other considerations?"
Liu Ming has been coming to Chenzhongtai for more than ten years.
He has always been a menial disciple.
Moreover, his cultivation has reached the seventh level of the acquired realm.
Given his qualifications, this is already a miracle.
"With your current cultivation strength, you can first become an inner disciple and serve the Divine Sword Sect for a period of time. Even if you leave the Divine Sword Sect in the future, marry and have children, and establish a martial arts family, there will be no problem in slowly growing it."
Li Qian looked at Liu Ming who was still in a daze and said with a smile.
"Brother Li, I think it's good."
Liu Ming scratched his head.
He had never thought about it.
Anyway, he has been used to it after being in Chenzhongtai for more than ten years.
As for his family over the years, he went back several times and sent a lot of money, so his family bought land and built a house, and was considered relatively wealthy.
Moreover, his nephew also participated in the primary election, but unfortunately he was not qualified enough and did not even pass the primary election.
Li Qian was a little speechless when he saw Liu Ming's expression. It seemed that he was planning to stay at Chen Zhongtai and not leave.
But he was just talking, and it was okay if Liu Ming didn't want to leave.
It’s troublesome to change people anyway.
At this time, a figure descended from the sky and landed not far away. It was Xiao Wendao, a celestial being from the Divine Sword Sect.
"I've met Grand Master's uncle."
Li Qian hurriedly saluted, very surprised. What was this Xiao Tianren doing at Chen Zhongtai?
"Li Qian, can you contact that senior?"
Xiao Wendao actually used the secret method of voice transmission.
"That senior?"
Li Qian was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was talking about his clone. "Grandmaster, I can't be sure about this either. After all, this senior is like a dragon that can't be seen from head to tail."
Li Qian quickly spoke in secret using voice transmission.
"Too."
Xiao Wendao sighed. It had been a few years and the senior seemed to have disappeared.
"Grandmaster, I wonder if you have anything to ask this senior. If there is a chance, I would like to convey it to you."
Li Qian asked quickly.
"Li Qian, if you meet that senior, you can tell him that our Divine Sword Sect is currently excavating an ancient relic and has encountered a great difficulty. I wonder if this senior can lend a hand? If the excavation is successful, the senior can distribute all the items in the ancient relic."
Xiao asked after thinking for a while.
"Grandmaster, I will pass this message to that senior."
Li Qian nodded and said.
Xiao Wendao asked for the address of the ancient ruins and then flew away.
Li Qian touched his chin, wondering whether he should go and take a look.
But don't rush.
Anyway, the ancient ruins are there and can't be escaped.
More than a month later.
A moonless night with few stars.
Li Qian put on a black cloak and quietly left the Chenzhongtai.
When he arrived at Cang County, Xuanzhou, the site of the ancient ruins, it was still early in the morning.
There are camps scattered around the ancient ruins, and it is very quiet.
Whoosh!
He landed quietly at the mouth of the canyon.
The place is covered with clouds and fog, and filled with miasma.
"Array?"
Through Li Qian's spiritual perception, he could feel the invisible fluctuations of the formation.
In ancient ruins like this, the base formation of the formation does not use a formation plate.
The array plate is suitable for carrying and using.
But it is not stable and not suitable for long-term use.
Therefore, the formations used in ancient ruins often adopt solid formation stakes.
It is highly stable and can be used for a long time. It requires almost no maintenance as long as it is not damaged by human beings or natural disasters.
However, the arrangement of solid array stakes is more difficult.
In the solution to the Lion Camel Ridge formation, there is a special method of arranging the stakes to secure the formation.
However, the formation that requires the use of solid formation stakes is often a large formation composed of several basic formations.
With Li Qian’s current attainments in formation, he is simply not capable of setting up solid formation stakes.
But he knew that the formation of this ancient relic in front of him must have used solid formation stakes.
The easiest way to crack this kind of formation is to find the location of the stakes that secure the formation and destroy them. However, this is precisely the most difficult thing to do.
The location of the solid formation stakes is often in the most dangerous place within the formation.
Moreover, this kind of large formation, with each link interconnected, contains too much danger.
Suddenly, Li Qian's spiritual perception moved, and not long after, a figure came not far away.
It was Xiao who asked.
When he saw the man in the black cloak, he was delighted and bowed quickly, "Greetings, fellow Taoist."
"You have been researching here for so long, what have you gained?"
Li Qian's hoarse and old voice sounded.
Naturally, he would not directly enter the formation to test it.
So I should ask Xiao Wendao first to understand the general situation of this ancient relic, so that I can be more confident.
"The gains are not much, but the losses are huge."
Xiao Wendao gave a wry smile, then recounted everything he had learned in detail.
These situations were caused by the loss of many lives.
After listening to this, Li Qian did not say anything. Combining his own judgment, he inferred that those poisonous rocks were probably related to the poisonous beast.
Moreover, there is a high probability that there is a fixed array stake in the area where the poisonous beasts are active.
Of course, all this is just his inference.
Thinking of this, a faint golden light appeared around Li Qian's body. This was the holy land of qi and blood.
It didn't release completely, but wrapped itself up.
To prevent poison from invading the body.
Moreover, he also has a layer of protective energy on his body.
Whoosh!
He went straight into the clouds.
Being in the clouds and mist, the poisonous aura was swirling in it, as if it were a living thing, and it was actually penetrating towards him.
But when they encountered his Qi and Blood Holy Land, those poisonous Qi seemed to be frightened and suddenly shrank back.
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying beast roar came from the depths of the fog.
Li Qian did not go any deeper, but closed his eyes and sensed everything with his mind.
He was analyzing the internal mechanisms and traces of the formation through the fluctuations of the formation.
Although his attainments in formations were not high, he had studied the formal and complete inheritance of formations after all.
Suddenly, array plates emerged around him, nine in total, combined in pairs. Under his control, they released array fluctuations and conducted tests again and again.
After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"The formation arrangement here seems to have some shadows of the Lion Camel Ridge formation solution?"
Li Qian muttered to himself.
This is a bit weird.
Because the solution to the Lion Camel Ridge formation itself belongs to the demon clan's formation. Although he has not studied the human race's formation, the solution to the Lion Camel Ridge formation really tends to be a vicious formation.
This can be seen from the seven basic arrays.
They are the induction base array, the combination base array, the elimination base array, the confusion base array, the devouring base array, the pollution base array, and the trap base array.
The combination of the induction array and the combination array can form a spirit gathering array.
It is also the only normal formation in the Lion Camel Ridge formation solution.
"Induction array, combination array, and contamination array"
Li Qian took back the other four formation plates, leaving only three formation plates surrounding his body and began to operate.
With his current attainment in formation, he is unable to complete the combination of three formation bases.
But what was strange was that as he controlled the base power of the three array diagrams to combine, there were faint signs of them taking shape.
In such an array environment, his array attainments seemed to have improved.
No, it’s not that his attainments in formation have improved.
Rather, it is the fluctuations of the formation here that greatly reduces the difficulty of arranging the formation.
"There must be more than three basic formations here."
Li Qian thought to himself.
He began to try to match the fourth base array.
His hard work paid off, and he finally found the fourth base array, which is the confusion base array.
"Wow, the formation here is indeed from the Lion Camel Ridge Formation Solution."
He was filled with emotion.
At this moment, he was actually a little excited.
Having a ready-made formation on site is equivalent to actual practice, which is much better than studying various formations out of thin air on his own.
Over the years, his progress in formation attainments has been very slow. He has only mastered it and has not even reached the level of minor success.
"The solution to the Lion Camel Ridge formation is used here. Doesn't that mean that this is not a relic left by the ancient human race, but more likely belongs to the demon race?"
Suddenly, he had an idea.
This time, he became more alert.
As long as it is related to demons, there will definitely be trouble.
