Chapter 27: The Search
Sunset Valley is located in the Taicang Mountains to the east of the kingdom of Li.
The mountains of Taicang are continuous, the territory is vast, it is a natural barrier between Li and Wenxin, the sunset valley is located in the west of Taicang, stand in the distance and look out, every sunset, the valley will be full of red glow, as if the sun is falling into the valley in general, so there is the name of the sunset valley, the sunset red glow is also a scene of Taicang.
There is a cave in a hill thirty miles away from Sunset Valley.
A young man was lying on a large stone slab in the cave, it was the man in black who had fought against Tang Zheng and pretended to be under the White Bone Gate.
His chest opened, revealing the beating heart inside, and Wang Jue took two thin needles, and little by little he picked out the golden sand from the young man's heart. The stone bowl next to it has been covered with a layer of fine gold sand.
It is not easy to find these golden sands, every time the needle passes through the heart, the young man's body will tremble in pain, his body is restrained, and the blood will be drained, if it weren't for the more than ten disciples of the Seven Peerless Sects not far away who are taking turns to input spiritual energy for him and feed the elixir, I am afraid that this person would have died long ago.
Even so, under the torture of day after day, this person became disfigured and dying.
Lying on the stone bed, the young man trembled and said, "Senior brother......"
"Hold on, Senior Brother Li!" Wang Jue said without raising his head, "I will definitely save you." ”
A smile appeared on Senior Brother Li's face: "It's useless...... Big Brother...... What I look like...... Even if it is saved...... Most of them are ...... It's a waste ......" "Nonsense, your pastor brother asked Huang Quan back then, using the flesh as a battlefield, and his body was about to fall apart, didn't Lao Tzu still save him? Yes, he still has some troubles that have not been eliminated, but who dares to underestimate him because of this? Senior brother will not give up on you, I believe senior brother, when we finish this vote, everyone will get rich, and you will definitely be stronger than you were at the beginning!" Wang Jue said in a deep voice.
Tears flowed from Senior Brother Li's eyes, and he shook his head: "Senior Brother...... I believe you...... But I don't ...... Believe in myself...... I can't hold on......"
Wang Jue's whole body trembled, he realized something, and suddenly roared: "No, you have to hold on, Li Chun, you can't die, you can't fucking die!"
But Senior Brother Li's eyes had gradually faded.
He looked weakly at the top of the cliff above his head and muttered, "It hurts...... Finally relieved...... Big Brother...... I'm so homesick......"
As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes and never opened them again.
"No!" the king roared in anger.
He slammed his fist against the mountain wall next to him, and burst out with great force, even the entire mountain seemed to shake slightly.
However, no matter how angry he was, his junior brother died after all.
He knew that the junior brother of Lu Dao was actually killed by himself, because if he hadn't tried his best to save him, Li Chun's injuries would not have died, but would have been tossed and turned on the sickbed.
It was precisely because he couldn't watch his junior brother suffer the torture, and because he didn't accept Tang Zheng's methods, that he tried hard to save Li Chun.
Li Chun died, and he also failed.
In the first confrontation between two opponents who had not yet met, Wang was completely defeated.
The king was angry and bitter, not only because of the death of his brother, but also because of the shame of defeat.
Since his debut, there has never been such a sense of humiliation.
He slowly stood up and walked out of the cave.
Mu Yi shouted: "Senior brother......"
The king raised his hand and stopped what he was about to say.
His hands were blood-red.
He said: "Contact the local government to collect Li Chun and send him back to his hometown for burial." Everyone else should rest first, and the day after tomorrow will be the Sunset Valley trade, and everything will be talked about at that time. ”
Although he was angry, what he said at this moment was extremely calm, as if it was not him who was angry before, and the mountain shook with a punch.
A junior brother has already said: "Senior brother, what about Tang Tribulation?"
"Tang Zheng?" Wang Jue's eyes finally flashed with a glimmer of brilliance: "Don't pay attention to him, he will come to us himself." ”
"Himself?" the crowd was stunned.
Wang Jue said lightly: "The matter of bandits and robbery is too weird, although we were looking all over the world at that time, but there are many strange people in the world, and it is not uncommon to have a method that can hide from our ears and eyes." I have a feeling that this matter should be related to Tang Zheng. If this is the case, he is only afraid that he has obtained our information, and the battle the day after tomorrow is only afraid that there will be a figure of Tang Zheng. ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this: "If you really let Tang Zheng know the Dao, will you also attract the people of the Moon Washing Sect?"
A Tang Tribulation is not terrible, but the Moon Washing Sect represented behind him has a different meaning.
Wang Jue just looked at his blood-red fists and muttered, "Whoever you come, I will greet you with my fists...... Bombardment is it!"
—————————————
In the sky above Sunset Valley, a goshawk is flying.
A mountain mouse crept into the valley and landed in the goshawk order.
The goshawk made a low hovering in the air and swooped downward, talons catching the mountain rat.
The sudden attack frightened the mountain rat, and it instinctively made its legs kick hard, and it was naturally impossible to kick the goshawk away with its strength, but at the moment when it kicked the goshawk, a ray of light flashed from the goshawk's body.
The next moment, the goshawk had turned into pieces of streamer light and dissipated into the wind.
The freed rat rolled on the ground, looked around in horror, and burrowed into the hole again, presumably not daring to come out for some time after being frightened.
On the mountain in the distance, Tang Zheng sighed, and rubbed his fingers on his somewhat sore eyebrows.
Long-distance control like this is not a light burden for Tang Zheng.
It's a pity that, despite this, he still hasn't been able to figure out the mystery of the Sunset Valley Great Array.
To be exact, he didn't even dare to confirm whether there was a big array in Sunset Valley now.
No matter how much he tried, Sunset Valley didn't show anything out of the ordinary, it looked like a normal valley.
In order to test all parts of the valley, Tang Zheng did not even let go of small creatures like mountain rats in the valley, but unfortunately he still did not find any clues.
Could it be that they really didn't plan to use the geographical advantage and the magic circle to deal with the Shimen faction?
Tang Zheng didn't believe it.
No matter how strong the king is, it is impossible to fight against the heart of heaven, only the formation is the means for them to defeat the strong with the weak. The fact that they can't be found at the moment only shows that the king is cautious in destroying them, and the Shimen faction may not send someone to investigate in advance after learning that it is going to be traded in Sunset Valley.
Therefore, the secrecy of this large array must be excellent.
In addition, the cost of this large array should not be too high. Wang exterminated them, they were not the Seven Absolute Sects in the end, but only a union of more than ten disciples, and their capital was limited.
The last thing is that the power of the magic circle must be enough, and to deal with Tianxin, at least a five-grade formation is needed.
Tang Zheng had almost gone through all the fifth- or sixth-grade magic formations he knew in his mind, but unfortunately none of them matched the current situation. It can only be said that the Seven Peerless Sects are the best at the four arts of the Immortal Family. Tang Zheng was also extremely good in the formation path, and in the face of the magic array laid out by this group of Seven Peerless Sect disciples, he couldn't even find out.
From yesterday to now, Tang Zheng has been looking for a day, but he has not been able to find the location of the magic circle, and no matter how much he tries, he can't stimulate the formation. If you can't find the big array, you can't make a plan, it's difficult to prepare in advance, let alone use it, even if it's too late.
It's been a day of delay, and there are two more battles in Sunset Valley.
At this moment, even Tang Zheng was anxious.
Taking a deep breath, Tang Zheng's fingertips shone with a little spiritual light, and gradually turned into a goshawk and flew towards Sunset Valley again. Ever since he realized that replication could be used for reconnaissance, he had become more and more adept at using replication to create variations.
It's a pity that although the goshawk is good, it can't find the location of the big array.
With the help of the goshawk's vision, Tang Zheng overlooked the land, full of greenery, but there was not a trace of the formation.
When he was depressed, the jade pendant on his waist suddenly moved.
Tang Zheng retracted his gaze and looked down, but it was Xu Miaoran who sent the news at this time.
"Hey, Master Tang, what are you doing?"
Since Tang Zheng was promoted to the world, Xu Miaoran has always teased him with Master Tang one by one, at first Tang Zheng was still a little unaccustomed to it, but after a long time, he got used to it.
At this moment, when he saw her send a letter, he replied: "Wang Annihilation has made an appointment with the Shimen Sect Sunset Valley to trade, and I am looking for a possible magic circle. ”
These days, he has occasionally corresponded with Xu Miaoran, so he has not hidden anything from Xu Miaoran here.
"Found it?" Xu Miaoran asked. The girl's handwriting is very big, and three words are a thousand miles of charm.
Tang Zheng replied: "I haven't found it for a day, and I've never heard of a magic circle that can be hidden to such an extent. ”
"Is it possible that the layout is not perfect, and the formation is deliberately a few steps short so that it cannot be activated, so that it can not be activated in advance and make people aware of it. ”
"I have considered this possibility, but I have tried all over the valley, but I have not found even a single spiritual material for the array. ”
"Wait a minute. Xu Miaoran sent a message, and then there was no more words.
After a long time, Xu Miaoran came to the news: "I went to ask my father, and my father said that unless it is a large array with concealment as the direct purpose, it is impossible for the idle formation to reach such a point, and there must be clues to be found." If you can't find it, the problem may be outside the formation, and you need to think outside the problem. ”
Xu Guanghua, as a true monarch, although he is not good at formations, he has a wide range of knowledge and has experienced many things.
Since he said that it is impossible to have such a formation, it is basically impossible.
"Think outside the box...... Think outside the question and think about it......" Looking at the information sent by the Qianli Messenger, Tang Zheng muttered to himself.
The conversation between the king and the king yesterday and the expression on his face flashed through his mind.
Suddenly, Tang Zheng realized that something was wrong.
Since Sunset Valley was the place where the king had decided to ambush them, how important was that, and how could it be said so easily?
The robbery of the incarnation of bandits, although Tang Zheng has tried his best to make amends, but even he himself knows that there are many doubts in this matter, and it is impossible to ask the other party to fully trust, he just hopes to take the opportunity to lure out the other party, and then find clues from the other party's words to see through the truth.
It's just that I didn't expect the other party to be so cooperative, and even said the Sunset Valley deal three days later.
Now that I think about it, the other party's carelessness has gone a little too far.
Unless......
"Damn, fooled!" Tang Zheng scolded and stood up abruptly.
At that moment, he suddenly understood that the decisive battle place that the king had decided to destroy them was not in Sunset Valley at all.
Sunset Valley has been a front from the beginning, and the function of its existence is to confuse the Stone Sect.
I believe that the Shimen faction will also feel that if the trading location is in Sunset Valley, then they must be careful to prevent the people of the Seven Peerless Sects from setting up a large array to attack them in Sunset Valley, so they will send people to survey Sunset Valley in advance.
Of course, they will not find anything.
Because it wasn't an ambush point set by the Seven Peerless Gates at all.
They're in ambush halfway!
As soon as he thought of this, Tang Zheng had already taken out the map and began to look through the roads from Hanmen Pass to Sunset Valley.
Finally, Tang Zheng's fingers stopped in a nameless valley.
This nameless valley is very small, on the side of the road, because there is a high mountain in front of it, and if there is a convoy of cars, it must pass through this valley. But if the people from the Shimen Sect came to explore the Sunset Valley and flew all the way, they didn't need to pass through this nameless valley, so they would naturally avoid the attention of the cultivators. Coupled with the fact that it has a certain concealment method, it is indeed very likely to hide it from everyone.
When the real people of the Shimen Sect focused on the Sunset Valley, they would not have thought that on the way, the ambush had already begun.
Thinking of this, Tang Zheng was also in his heart.
"It's really calculated!" Even if the goshawk hadn't flown yet, Tang Zheng could basically be sure that the magic circle he was looking for must be here!
"Hey, why don't you speak?" Xu Miaoran's handwriting came from the jade pendant again, obviously wondering why Tang Zheng suddenly ignored himself.
Tang Zai smiled and replied: "I made a whole day of stupidity, thanks to the baby's mentions, I realized it, be good, kiss one." ”
The message was quickly returned: "Shameless, obscene, baa
Tang Zai could imagine Xu Miaoran being angry and ashamed on the other end, and his heart couldn't help but be hot, and he replied: "Yes, I'm just a shameless and obscene embryo, so do you like it?"
When he said this, the other end fell silent.
After a long time, Xu Miaoran replied: "The king's extinction strength is strong, and the true person of Tianxin is unfathomable, if you can't be defeated, don't force it." Although cultivating immortals requires resources, they need to have a life to enjoy them. If you really need a lot of money, you can tell me. I know that you are arrogant and will not accept alms from others, so it is okay to borrow money. ”
Although there was no direct answer to Tang Zheng's words, the words in the reply letter were true, and he had completely expressed his friendship.
Tang Zheng also felt a heat in his heart, and replied: "I know that this adventure is indeed because it takes a lot of money to do something, but after doing this, it will be much more relaxed." From now on, the sky is wide and I can fly, and I don't have to risk everything. ”
"In that case, then let it be up to you. I will wait for you to have good news, and if there is anything you can ask me, even if I don't know, I can ask my father for you. It's also good to have a real gentleman to answer your questions. ”
Tang Zai smiled: "Then I'm welcome, it just so happens that there are some problems in cultivation that I can't figure out recently......"
And so on and so forth, and so on, and so on,
Although there was nothing unusual in the valley, Tang Tribulation, who was proficient in the formation path, had already sensed the extraordinary thing about this place after only a little temptation.
The circle I've been looking for is here.
Under the eyes of Tianmu, the hidden mystery was gradually revealed, and the face of the large array was revealed little by little.
"It turned out to be this formation...... Sure enough, good calculation, good courage, good mind. ”
Looking at the array from afar, Tang Zheng couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Now that he knew what the other party had laid out, Tang Zheng also knew what he should do next.
After only thinking about it for a while, Tang Zheng had a plan in his heart, took out a talisman casually, and wrote a few sentences to ignite.
This time, the news was transmitted to Wei Tianchong.
Wei Tianchong, who had already returned to Canglong Mansion, saw the news, and also took out a piece of talisman paper and ignited it.
Lingzhou Branch, Shi Meng looked at the news sent, took out a bunch of rune papers, and ignited them one by one, the news was like lightning, and it spread rapidly in Wenxin China......
