Longevity, starting from raising chickens
Chapter 657: Witch Formation
Kokura world, within the world.
Beiju Luzhou.
Outside the slightly simple capital of the Wu clan.
boom!
The corpse of a huge ferocious beast fell straight down from the sky with a loud bang.
It caused a huge cloud of dust and the sound of exclamations and joy from the people below.
“It’s strange!”
An extremely tiny crimson arrow instantly flew out from the ferocious beast and turned into a stream of light that shot into the sky.
Soon, a majestic figure that was much smaller than the ferocious beast fell from the clouds.
"different!"
"different!"
The majestic figure fell straight down, but did not fall into the crowd. He smiled and waved at the crowd, which immediately attracted excited cheers from the people below.
The majestic figure glanced below, and saw that many wizards had already begun to dismember the ferocious beast. He did not linger, and flew towards the city at a high speed amid the shouts of the people below.
Passing many simple houses in the city, he soon arrived at his destination - a wooden house that was slightly larger than the surrounding houses, but still limited in size.
He slowed down his pace and smelled the smell of medicine and a few suppressed coughs coming from the wooden house. The joy of returning from hunting the ferocious beast just now disappeared, and only a sense of heaviness remained.
Although the longevity medicine that was obtained for the witch master did indeed earn him another twenty years of life, his fate was still unchangeable.
But at this moment, a slightly tired but joyful voice came from the wooden house:
"Yi? Why don't you come in?"
The majestic figure hesitated for a moment, then strode to the door, pushed it open, and walked in with his head lowered.
The scene was simple and spacious, with two old, hunched figures sitting next to each other.
Yi didn't hesitate at all and bowed respectfully to the two of them:
"Yi, I have met the witch master and the witch mother."
"Where's the red tape?"
The older man had a thin face covered with wrinkles. He coughed lightly and laughed:
"I've said it before, we should call each other brothers... After I leave in a few days, I'll let you inherit the position of witch master."
Yi's heart sank, and he said quickly:
"Witch Master, what are you talking about..."
The other very old woman sat up straight and said with a trembling smile:
"Yi, you are young and strong. We are very confident that the future of the Wu Clan will be entrusted to you. We called you back this time to tell you something..."
When Yi heard this, a hint of hesitation and entanglement flashed across his face. Feeling the almost exhausted energy and blood of the two people, his heart sank slightly, but he had no choice but to speak out:
"Witch Master, Witch Mother... It's not that Yi is unwilling to accept it, it's just that he lacks the ability and has no intention of doing so."
After hearing Yi's words, the smiles on their faces froze slightly.
The old woman couldn't help but frowned, and her voice became more solemn:
"Yi, you should know that among the three thousand Wu tribes, no one can compare with you in terms of strength or reputation. Moreover, although the Wu tribe has been growing stronger and stronger in recent years and has gradually gotten rid of the suffering of hunger, cold and heat, the leaders of the three thousand tribes have their own thoughts. When Yao and I are here, no one dares to have a different mind. If you are here, they probably won't dare to make any unusual moves. But if even you are not here... the situation that Yao and I have painstakingly built for many years will change overnight."
On the face covered with age spots and wrinkles, there is a sigh:
"They, I'm afraid no one will care about the lives of those ordinary witches."
"Yao Su and I know that you have compassion, so can we continue to watch?"
The strange words were insincere:
"They... may not have the courage. There are many powerful people among the witches."
"If they really treat the Wumin as dogs, pheasants, cattle and horses, aren't they afraid that one day the Wumin will take their lives?"
The old man shook his head slightly after hearing this, looked at Yi, and said with a heavy face:
"The eyes of the witches can see clearly, but there are always people who don't know the truth, people who are weak and powerless, and people who are not good at changing people's hearts. In the end, it is always the people at the bottom who suffer. Xuan Wen and I have been committed to this for many years. We want the world to be united, everyone to have their place, to do their work, and everyone to be the sun in the sky. We will never let some people ride on the heads of the witches and abuse their power. Unfortunately, the sky is not kind to me, and I will not see that day after all."
"Many years ago, when you gave me the medicine to prolong my life, I knew that you and I were just ordinary people. But now, how can you bear to let our long-cherished wish go to waste?"
Yi Wenyan was silent for a moment.
Looking at the old man in front of him, perhaps Yao was really too old and had put in too much effort. When he was excited, his eyes were cloudy and there were tears in the corners of his eyes. It was an extremely complicated emotion of reluctance and unwillingness.
At this moment, Yi couldn't help but feel a little powerless in his heart.
His current strength is enough to bully mountains and seas, and capture the sun and the moon. However, when it comes to human nature, the more he understands it, the more powerless he feels.
Human hearts are like this, human nature is like this, no matter how powerful the force is, it is difficult to truly control people's hearts.
Maybe it would be so when Yao was here, when he was still here, but everyone's life will end one day, and there are very few people who can live to the end.
Who can guarantee that thousands or tens of thousands of years later, there will still be people who can carry on their legacy?
Even if the successor does not change his original intention, the people's hearts are moved and the interests are driven, so he can really...
What's more, he knew clearly that outside this world, there was a Taoist master named Taiyi who was overlooking the changes in the world.
What does the existence of the witch clan mean to this person?
Over the years, while he traveled the land and hunted ferocious beasts, he also thought over and over again about the future of the Witch Clan.
Inside and outside.
It seems like I gained something, but it also seems like I gained nothing.
This is also the fundamental reason why he is unwilling to accept the position of witch master...
The lifespan of the witch clan is too short, and he doesn't have that much time to waste on problems that may never be solved.
He wanted to find the essence of this problem and the ultimate answer to solve it.
This requires more time and energy.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke, forcing a smile and said:
"Witch Master, during these years of hunting ferocious beasts, I came up with a method of combining forces to kill them, and I'm going to present it to you."
Yao was slightly startled, then understood his intentions, and couldn't help but feel an indescribable disappointment and grief in her heart.
But he was kind-hearted, and even though he was rejected by Yi, he was unwilling to reject Yi's kindness, so he smiled and nodded:
"Then I'll have to take a good look."
Yi then took out a piece of animal skin from the bamboo bag at his waist.
The animal skins were neatly folded many times, and when spread out, they filled nearly half of the wooden house.
The animal skin was covered with tiny handwriting.
There were many scribbles and revisions, and the colors of the handwriting were also different. It was obvious that a lot of effort was spent and it took a very long time.
"This is a method I thought of. Even if there are only a few people together, they can still exert extremely strong power. Master Wu, please take a look..."
Yao slowly stood up and looked at the animal skin carefully with his hands behind his back.
As I watched, I was suddenly stunned.
He raised his head and looked at Yi, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
Slightly uncomfortable:
"Witch Master, what are you doing..."
Yao Jing laughed, and then, in the somewhat puzzled eyes of Yi, he turned to look at the old Xuan Wen and said happily:
"quick!"
"Go get that thing!"
Xuan Wen was a little stunned, then he thought of something, glanced at the animal skin on the ground, nodded immediately, raised his hand slowly, and a piece of neatly cut animal skin flew out from a box in the wooden house.
The blood surged, and the animal skin was quickly spread out.
Soon, the words on the animal skin were revealed to Yi's eyes one by one.
Seeing these words, Yi Xin was shocked.
"This is……"
"This is the 'art of the Taoist soldier'."
Yao looked at the animal skin with emotion.
Although he didn't know what the Taoist military technique was, when he pondered over the things on the animal skin, this word naturally emerged in his mind. He was already accustomed to this situation, so he was not surprised.
"However, I prefer to call it the 'Four Wizards Formation'!"
"It unites four witches of similar realms into one. Unlike the formations that have been circulated in various tribes in the past, this witch formation can completely superimpose and blend blood, energy, and consciousness, bringing out the power of the four together, but far surpassing the power of the four!"
There was a hint of excitement in Yao's tone:
"I originally planned to pass this formation to all the witches in the tribe if things go wrong, so that they can master the power. In this way, even if there are fewer people, if our arrangements are tampered with, the witches can resist oppression at that time."
Then he shifted his gaze slightly and looked at the animal skin covering the whole room below, with a hint of surprise in his eyes:
"I thought the combination of the four was the smallest possibility, but I didn't expect you to be able to create a magic array that combines the three... Good! Good!"
The fewer people a wizard formation requires, the more stable it is.
Because it is difficult to unite people's hearts, the more people there are, the more distracting thoughts there are, and it is more difficult to unite them.
And the combined attack method that Yi came up with actually coincided with his idea!
It is said to be a method of combined attack, but in fact it is also a Taoist military technique.
And the key point is that the number of people in the team is one less than his.
Although it seems that the number of people required is only reduced by one person, the possibility of successfully performing the witch formation is greatly increased.
This is what Yao values more.
Yi looked at the words on it, and the more he read, the more surprised and impressed he became. He said sincerely:
"The witch master's witch formation method is more complete and more powerful than what I expected."
He couldn't help but regretfully said:
"It's a pity. If we could combine these two magic formations into one, taking advantage of the subtleties of both..."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener is shocked!
"Both in one?"
Yao stood there in a daze, his heart pounding.
These two wizard formations, one for three and one for four, have slightly different ideas, but they all lead to the same goal, ensuring as much as possible that even with very few people, their strength can be combined to form a deterrent.
The only drawback is that due to the small number of people combined, the overall power is still somewhat limited.
"But if three of them form the smallest wizard formation, four of them can form a large four-wizard formation, and then they can be stacked up continuously..."
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became!
Obviously, this kind of thinking seems to have nothing to do with solving the internal problems of the Wu Clan, but for some reason, his mind suddenly became clear!
It was as if he had finally done something right. In his mind, countless wonderful knowledge of formations and Taoist military techniques came one after another, shattered into powder, and then silently reassembled. Countless inspirations burst out like a spring, and nothing could stop it!
Without any hesitation, he immediately grabbed Yi's hand. His frail body could not stop a burst of excitement from appearing in his eyes:
"Quick! Let's work together to deduce this method! If we succeed, it will be a great achievement!"
Xuan Wen and Yi were both stunned.
Xuan Wen couldn't help but say:
"Yao, you can't keep messing around..."
Yao was in high spirits at this moment, and said excitedly:
"No, if I don't do it now, it will be impossible to complete it after I die... Just let me do one last thing for the Wu Clan!"
Xuan Wen was stunned.
The strange man next to him was shocked, looking at the old man in front of him who seemed to disappear at the touch of a wind. He was silent in his heart, but his ears were deafened!
After a brief silence, he did not hesitate and rolled the animal skin on the ground aside:
"Then let's get started."
"it is good!"
Yao said excitedly.
Seeing the two of them quickly forgetting themselves in their conversation and even arguing, Xuan Wen looked at Yao and his eyes gradually softened: "No matter what, I will accompany you."
a few days later.
"It's done...it's finally done!"
Yi looked at the messy animal skins in front of him, the handwritten words on the skins and the patterns that resembled formations, and a hint of excitement and joy burst out in his bloodshot eyes!
"Three is the element, four is the formation, and the two together make twelve! Once performed, twelve witches of the same realm will combine, and it will be like compressing the blood, energy, strength, and induction of the twelve witches... all into one person!"
"With the same number of people, the power is far greater than those formations that have been handed down! And there is no need to worry about the people forming the formation being divided."
"And it can be further stacked!"
"This formation is undoubtedly the most suitable and supreme technique for us wizards!"
He grabbed the animal skin with both hands, his eyes filled with extreme excitement and joy!
A few days was nothing considering his realm and physique, but in order to perfect the magic formation while Yao was still there, he almost pushed himself to the extreme.
My energy has been exhausted to the extreme.
But it was all worth it. The two of them worked hard to polish and deduce the witch formation and finally saw the result.
"Yao, since this formation is formed by combining three or four formations, how about calling it the 'Twelve Capitals Formation'?"
He said joyfully.
However, there was no response. When I looked back, I only saw two emaciated figures leaning against the wall, snuggling up to each other.
"Yao! Xuan Wen!"
Yi was shocked and quickly landed in front of the two men.
But the old Xuan Wen was seen holding Yao's hand tightly, with a look of extreme pain on his face, and he was almost out of breath.
Yao Yi gently hugged Xuan Wen, and when he looked at Xuan Wen, there was a deep reluctance, pity, and tenderness in his eyes. His face was obviously drier than a few days ago, but there was a hint of redness on his cheeks.
Seeing this scene, Yi's heart sank.
Having witnessed countless separations of life and death, he has already understood something.
Xuan Wen, the mother of the witch clan who has accompanied the witch master for many years, is finally about to reach the end of her life.
The death of a wizard is accompanied by extreme pain that ordinary people cannot endure.
Seeing Yi coming, Yao was still as gentle as ever, but he could no longer force a smile. He looked at Yi, barely forming a slight arc at the corner of his mouth, and said softly:
"...The blood in my body...has almost dissipated. Please help me and Xuan Wen...let's both relax a little..."
Yi's whole body trembled, and a hint of struggle flashed in his eyes.
No one in the Wu tribe had a good ending; perhaps this was their fate.
Therefore, before a witch dies, his relatives often help him to avoid pain.
He has long been accustomed to it and even helps some familiar widows and orphans to achieve their final liberation.
But at this moment, looking at the person in front of him, the person he admired and respected the most in this world, and the person he regarded as his closest friend, he found it difficult to take action no matter what.
"Help me."
There was a hint of pleading in Yao's eyes when he looked at Yi.
His skinny arms felt Xuan Min's painful but suppressed trembling in his arms, and his voice seemed to have a slight tremor.
"me……"
Yi clenched his palms, his eyes filled with pain and unwillingness.
He had just completed the witch formation, which was such a happy event, but in the blink of an eye, he had to send Yao and Xuan Min away personally.
However, he couldn't just sit back and watch as they watched the two people suffer and lose even the last bit of dignity.
Close your eyes and slowly reach out your hand...
Looking at Yi's actions, a trace of relief flashed across Yao's eyes, and he whispered:
"The Wu Clan... is now handed over to you... Even if you are unwilling to accept it... this is a responsibility that you and I cannot shirk..."
The palm gradually enlarged in Yao's sight.
At this moment, a faint sigh was heard outside the house:
"Fool, don't you wake up yet?"
The next moment, under Yao Heyi's surprised gaze.
Two golden droplets flew in silently from outside the door!
"who!"
Yi's expression changed, and all the aura in his body burst out, heading towards the golden droplets.
However, the golden droplet turned strangely, easily avoided it, and then crashed into Yao and Xuan Wen's bodies.
At this moment, the breath of the two people suddenly disappeared!
The eyes of the stranger are bloodshot!
Yao and Xuan Wen can die, this is a fate that no one can escape.
But you must not die at the hands of evil-minded people!
He turned his head to look outside the house, his blood rushing, and he turned into a tiger, ready to rush out.
However, at this moment, the blood suddenly stagnated!
He felt something in his heart and suddenly turned his head to look.
However, a figure in a red robe with golden patterns appeared in front of the bodies of Yao and Xuan Wen not far away. He was lowering his head, as if looking at the bodies of the two.
I was filled with doubts and uncertainty:
"There is actually someone on this continent who can avoid my detection and appear silently so close to me. Who is this person? Why did he attack Yao and Xuan Wen?"
Just as he was wondering, he heard the man say:
"Wang Xu, I gave you the sixth level of the Zhenwu Sutra, but unfortunately, after all these years, you haven't made any progress..."
Wang Xu?! The sixth level of Zhenwu Sutra?!
Yi's heart was startled, and a possibility suddenly emerged in his mind.
next moment.
The man slowly turned around, and on his familiar face, a pair of strange golden pupils looked at him...
Yi was suddenly stunned!
……
Boom!
The thunder cleansed the sky, illuminating the gray outside of the dojo especially brightly.
Wang Ba withdrew his gaze.
He glanced at the gourd vine in front of him, whose leaves had a hint of gold and had obviously grown a little. He could even see a small gourd the size of a peanut and covered with fuzz hanging on the shelf. His heart felt more and more solemn.
In the past few days, the chain reaction caused by the blood of the immortal has become increasingly obvious.
Many cultivators and spirit beasts have experienced breakthroughs in their realms.
This kind of breakthrough cannot even be stopped.
Just like Bu Chan, as the Nine-Colored Gourd absorbed most of the pool of immortal blood a few days ago, the gourd vine obviously accelerated its growth, and it quickly pushed Bu Chan to comprehend the Tao. Now he only has to wait for the right opportunity to try to overcome the catastrophe of transformation.
This should have been a good thing, but for the current Xiaocang Realm, a large number of thunder tribulations would only accelerate the loss of the realm's origin, which would be like adding insult to injury.
Thinking of this, he couldn't hide his anxiety.
Although he sounded relaxed when talking to Zhao Feng, thinking that at worst he could just ascend directly or leave on the raft, but when it really came to this moment, he still couldn't really take it easy.
His heart moved slightly, and he immediately called Ying's mother.
Soon, a girl holding an umbrella and wearing wooden clogs quietly appeared in front of Wang Ba and bowed respectfully to him:
"Mother Ying has met Master Tai-ichi."
Wang Ba was too lazy to correct her address, and had no interest in beating around the bush, so he said in a deep voice:
"How far is the Chaos Essence you sensed from here?"
A hint of caution suddenly appeared on the face of the girl holding the umbrella:
"My Lord, I really can't tell the difference. I just know that the distance is quite far. However, these days, my feeling has become stronger. I can vaguely feel that the amount of Chaos Essence there should be quite a lot."
"A lot?"
There was not much joy on Wang Ba's face.
No matter how much Chaos Essence there is, if it cannot reach the destination, it will be meaningless to the Ogura Realm.
"Can you make it before the origin of the realm is exhausted?"
Wang Ba frowned and asked again.
"This... Master, please forgive me, I really don't know."
Feeling the unhappiness and anxiety in Wang Ba's tone and emotions, the girl holding the umbrella couldn't help but show a look of fear.
Seeing the girl's fearful expression, Wang Ba was too lazy to tell whether it was true or false, and said in a deep voice:
"If there is any change, tell me immediately!"
After sending away Ying Mu, although Wang Ba was anxious, he could only helplessly collect the lightning stones that had been refined by thunder, repair his body, and wait silently.
Time just passes by little by little.
The source of the world was also gradually depleted under Wang Ba's attention...
Whether it is the cultivators or the spirit beasts, they are improving and progressing every day. However, the Ogura Realm is like the soil that has been drained of moisture by plants, and is becoming increasingly desolate and destroyed.
Just when there were only ten years left of the origin of the realm, and Wang Ba and Cang Fuzi were becoming increasingly uneasy, Mother Ying finally brought them the good news they had been waiting for for a long time.
"There seems to be a world ahead!"
"World fetus?!"
Wang Ba's heart trembled, and then a hint of joy appeared in his heart.
The world fetus is conceived from the source of chaos. Where there is a world fetus, there will naturally be source of chaos.
"Where is it? How far is it from here?"
Mother Ying frowned and thought for a moment, then pointed at Fan Ming who was exhausted and powerless outside the boundary:
"It will take a while... probably more than 20 years in this world..."
"More than twenty years?"
Wang Ba's heart couldn't help but sink.
The Kokura world can only hold out for another ten years, but this distance is exactly twenty years...
But looking at Fan Ming's body, Wang Ba suddenly came to his senses.
"No, Fan Ming is carrying Xiaocang Jie on his back, so he is flying very slowly. But if Xiaocang Jie is set up, I will personally lead him and use the Wind-driving Staff to speed up the flight. It may only take a year or so. By then, as long as we bring back all the Chaos Essence, we can..."
In an emergency, we have to take the necessary measures. Even if we are not sure whether there is any danger or not, we have to go and take a look.
As soon as he thought about it, he made a decision immediately.
He looked towards Sakura's mother.
Ying's mother was very thoughtful and immediately guessed Wang Ba's plan, and volunteered:
"The small ones can leave the realm and lead the way."
Wang Ba was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
Soon, a figure quickly flew out of the Xiaocang Realm... (End of this chapter)
