568 Answering the Imperial Scripture, Fighting Piercing the Heavenly Tower
Compared with this strange-tempered old man, the Gou Zhu Self-Formation Technique must be too far behind, and he obediently admitted: "The old man is right. ”
He secretly thought to himself that in the future, he would have to let Huang Lu give him a good guide to the formation technique from the beginning, and he couldn't stop at a little more dragonfly and get started hastily. If nothing else, it's faster to get money for the formation master, much faster than when he worked hard to be a thief.
Seeing that this young man was still teachable, Ji Yan was slightly restrained and arrogant, and bowed slightly: "I only ask you a few questions." If you answer well, I will ask you to sign a contract to help me repair the tower. If you don't answer well, it's a waste to stay. ”
"First question: What is a formation?"
"Everything is arrayed, array is everything!" Gou Zhu replied without thinking. The "Array Emperor Sutra" was engraved in his sea of knowledge, and the eight words he answered were the first sentence of the opening sentence of the "Array Emperor Sutra". When Ji Yan asked the first question, this sentence flashed in his mind, and he answered it without hesitation.
Gou Zhu's answer made Ji Yan stunned and almost shocked. Although the Xuanmen Array has a long history and is broad and profound, the understanding of different levels of formation masters is actually different what an array is, so there is no standard answer.
The understanding of the general formation master, the so-called array, is a special field formed by the formation master with special skills to pull the heaven and earth spiritual machine within a certain range.
For example, if you set up an enchantment, you can confine the space, which is the so-called enchantment array. Another example is to use the spiritual power of heaven and earth to interfere with the divine consciousness of the person entering the formation, so that it can hallucinate, which is the phantom array. The variety is too numerous to count.
But at the level of Huangquan, the comprehension is different. No matter how small as the body of a gnat, as big as the sun, moon and stars, how can there be anything that is not driven by subtle spiritual powers, and which thing does not operate naturally in the wonderful formation created by nature?
Gou Zhu's answer is really unearthly and amazing. But Ji Yan thought about it, this young man's tone was too big, and it didn't seem like he really had an understanding. He must have seen such a statement in some book, and he just read it from the book. So he continued to ask all the way down without showing his face: "Then what is the formation?
Ji Yan kept asking questions and answering them one by one. But Ji Yan didn't list many categorical questions, but grasped a question and asked it more and more. At first, Gou Zhu could directly answer with the content of the "Array Emperor Sutra", but then there was no ready-made answer, and he had to improvise. After that, he was poor in donkey skills, scratching his ears and cheeks, and couldn't answer.
This is not that the content of the "Array Emperor Sutra" is not detailed enough and profound enough. When Huang Quan wrote the "Array Emperor Sutra", he wanted to replace all the classics with a book, and he also replaced a sentence on the title page: This scripture was born and is extinct!
However, different formation masters have different ideas for practicing formation techniques.
The way of Huangquan's formation technique is based on simplicity, erasing all side branches and trivialities, only seeking the backbone, and pushing ten thousand ways with one piece. Therefore, there is no need for too many records in the book, and it is flexible and flexible in practical application, as long as it is reasoned.
And Ji Yan's formation technique is huge and profound, extremely profound, he has read and studied countless array diagrams, and all the details of various formations are recorded in his mind, and he can pick it up immediately. But he didn't get it all together, to the point where ninety-nine are one.
When he talked about the Tao, he was quoted from the sidelines. Many of the formation's works are unheard of, and even if he has to calculate it himself, it is not a matter of a few days, so of course he can't answer.
After being asked about Gou Zhu speechless, Ji Yan started another question, and went from shallow to deep again. After several discussions, each time it was said that there was nothing to say about the collusion. In the end, he pretended to ask mysteriously: "Do you know that the Array Dao has been a supreme strange book "The Array Emperor Sutra" throughout the ages?"
Gou Zhu was shocked in his heart, and secretly thought that this old man had already known that the "Array Emperor Sutra" was in his mind through these questions? The so-called wealth is not exposed, and he had just directly answered with the sentences in the "Array Emperor Sutra" in many places, but he had ignored this point. So far, he can only fight to death and deny it.
"The junior is just a casual cultivator, and he has only heard of it. ”
Ji Yan said proudly: "Ancestor Wu Sihan, when he was on duty in the Great Inner Xuantie Guard, he saw this book in the warehouse. It's a pity that this book is mysterious, and the master only writes down one page. He used this page as a basis to develop this lineage. ”
Old man Ji raised his head and smiled, and continued: "Therefore, it is not impossible for the old man to claim to be the junior half of the disciple of the Emperor of the Formation back then. Haha!"
Hook was dumbfounded for a while, thinking that you are shameless enough. Your master read a page of the "Array Emperor Sutra" and did not pass it on to you in its entirety, so you dare to claim to be the junior half of the disciple of the Array Emperor. If Huang Lu is here, the spirit of Huang Quan in her body will rush in, and she won't clean you up the portal on the spot?
"You kid is a bit basic. It's just that you are a young man with this ability, and there is no shortage of them in this city. If you want to be an assistant to the old man, you still have a few years to go. Go back and work harder, and talk about it next time when the beast tide comes. ”
Ji Yan finished bragging and enjoyed enough, so he flicked his sleeves and announced the send-off.
I am willing to lose the bet, and I have nothing to say, and I can only secretly complain in my heart that the sincerity of the one or two blood spirit stones has been lost. At this moment, many oil lamps in the secret room suddenly shook like the wind, and light and shadow drifted around.
There were no windows in the chamber, and the only stone door was simply closed, and it was all vented by fist-sized vents. How could there be a wind blowing in?
Then there was a rumbling sound, as if the entire Sky Thorn Tower and the underground chamber were shaking together. The stones loosen and rub against each other, making a muffled clicking sound.
Ji Yan jumped up in an instant like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, and was the first to push open the stone door and rush out.
When Gou Zhu walked outside, the whole sky was already dark, but when he came here, it was still a bright and warm spring noon that made people sleepy. In a matter of moments, the wind swept up countless branches, leaves, gravel and debris across the sky, and he even saw a panicked hare flying in the air.
There were no real clouds in the sky, and the sunny day was still sunny, but the original strong midday sun was dyed with a smoky yellow like dusk, and many strange orange-yellow pillars of light were cast in the cloud cover composed of strange crow-like debris.
The wind paved the surface, like a rolling turbid wave, unstoppable. If a man falls into this wind, it must be torn to pieces by the force of this mighty wind. Fortunately, the protective array of the protective tower has been naturally deployed, resisting most of the lethal winds. Even so, the entire tower was still blown and shook faintly.
At the top of the Sky Piercing Tower, the long horn at the top of the skull, had turned into a lilac, and it was a circle, spreading out like water waves with a circle of five-colored ripples.
The countless formations on the tower, together with the traction stones inlaid in the formations, seem to be some kind of creature coming to life, like countless colorful lines, and the lines are interspersed with things that are as deep and unpredictable as eyes, emitting infinite mystical brilliance, extending to all sides like dense spider webs, covering the ground within a radius of several miles.
These lines that exude spiritual light are not spiritual lines, but spiritual fluctuations naturally generated by the fierce attack of the protective array. Of course, this could not be a force of nature, but someone did it deliberately.
Overhead, in the direction of the sun, a black figure loomed in the intense orange-yellow light. A fierce wind was blowing from the black figure. Then came a strong divine thought, as grand as a divine voice descending from the sky, sandwiched in the fierce wind:
"Old man Tongfeng, the new blood refining elder. I'll just try this defensive array you have arranged, how many catties and taels are there, can you resist this beast tide!"
He held a huge leaf the size of a man in his hand, and shook it gently like a fan in his hand, and this fierce wind gushed out like a wild beast, directly from the zenith, bombarding the Sky Piercing Tower. The Sky Piercing Tower then made a clicking sound, and it shook like a reed in the wind.
Ji Yan was originally furious, but when he looked up, he felt the pressure of the divine consciousness coming from the shop, and his pupils suddenly narrowed. That's right, it's clearly the terrifying coercion of an old Jindan tree demon!
Blood Refining Elders?Every year during the beast tide, there are Blood Refining Elders who come to supervise the battle, but the previous Blood Refining Elders are not this person. Is it really the "Wind King" Tongfeng among the Twelve Golden Pills of the Tree Clan? This year, the Muye Department was so exaggerated that he sent an old Jindan monster to act as a blood refining elder?
There are one emperor and twelve true people of the tree clan, and four Jin Dan belong to the Mu Luo Department, and two Jin Dan belong to the Mu Meng Department. As the emperor of the demon world, including the tree emperor Muno, there were originally seven golden pills to overwhelm the demon world.
Kino disappeared, and the two Jindans of the royalist faction were expelled from the tribe, and now there are only four Jindans left in the Kino Division, and their strength is not as good as before.
A Jindan Tree Demon volleyed in the air, Ji Yan did not fart, but made him feel shocked, hot blood surged above his head, and his whole body trembled with excitement. The opportunity to fight a Jindan monk is not something that comes easily.
The vast majority of Jindan monks are cultivating in the tribal sect as a backing for the bottom of the box. Those who are really out as the main force to rush to kill and send to death are all Xudan, and at most they will be dispatched to the Purple Mansion. That is, the collapse of the Great Array of Xiyang and the birth of the Ten Thousand Years Immortal Ginseng can lead to such a grand occasion as the gathering of nine golden pills.
The vast majority of monks have walked the rivers and lakes all their lives, and they have not had the opportunity to learn from a Jindan monk. Now that the opportunity is in front of him, as one of the few array masters in the demon world, how can he not take such a good opportunity to become famous?
Ji Yan's fingers tapped in the void one after another, and the formation patterns on the Sky Piercing Tower suddenly spun up like a spiral, and a line of fierce five-colored streamers rose from the spire to the sky, stabbing towards the black figure in the sun!
