Journey to the head

It was vague and unclear, but there seemed to be a house behind the altar.

"Without further ado, shall we start now?" Ye Xiao turned his head, and Master Zang Feng also cast an inquiring look.

Lu Gan nodded. He walked to the front of the formation, closed his eyes, and the light between his eyebrows lit up slightly.

Let me see what is so mysterious about the ancient formation.

Niwan Palace shook slightly, and a wave of spiritual consciousness surged out, sweeping through the formation.

Ye Xiao's originally calm eyes suddenly became surprised, and she whispered: "Shi Zang?"

Seeing Master Zangfeng nodding his head, Ye Xiao thought of all the rumors about the Yunshan Sect again, his beautiful eyes were filled with longing, and he sighed: "I live in a remote village in Tieyuan County, when will I be able to have such a heroic person as my right-hand man."

Master Zangfeng smiled and said: "Fairy Ye, you are serious. In the past, Tieyuan may not have been taken seriously, but since you swept away the three sects and established the sect here, Tieyuan County has naturally been very different. You and I have a lot of good relations. If any help is needed, not only Lu Gan, but also my subordinate sects will be happy to help."

Ye Xiao understood what he meant, reached out to brush his curly hair, stretched his tall figure, and revealed his charming curves: "Let's talk about it after we break the formation."

Lu Qian's consciousness slowly reverberated in the formation, feeling the complex formation nodes and entangled formation veins.

He soon discovered that the formation in front of him was somewhat familiar.

The Sumeru Formation of the Twelve Capitals?

No, it should be said to be the Twelve Capital Ancient Arrays.

There are many essences of formations in Xuanjun's collection of books, among which the Xumi Formation of the Twelve Capitals is among them. Although Lu Gan has studied the Five Elements Formation intensively, he has also briefly read about these formations and has dabbled in some of the key points.

It's just that Xuanjun's collection of books is already a "new formation method" that has been greatly simplified after the invention of the formation diagram, which is very different from the ancient formation method before the invention of the formation diagram thousands of years ago.

However, the principle of formation operation lies in the combination change of formation base, power and spiritual energy. The rules of this change are based on the avenue of heaven and earth, and they are always unchanged.

Just like the five elements mutually reinforcing each other, as long as the world is not destroyed, it will be the same one hundred thousand years ago and one hundred thousand years later.

What has changed is the method of formation and the way of changing combinations. Generally speaking, after generations of simplification and optimization, the current "new formation" is much simpler and faster than the "ancient formation".

如果用一个不恰当的数学方式来举例，如果古代阵法是“10+20+30+40=100”，那新阵法就变成了“10×10=100”。

So now, following the same line of succession and the unchanged parts, and through the essence of various formations he has learned from Xuanjun's collection of books, Lu Gan can judge that the ancient formation in front of him is the Sumeru of the Twelve Capitals. The ancestor of the great formation, the Twelve Capital Heavenly Ancient Formation.

After understanding that the formation was closely related to the soles of his feet, Lu Gan became more confident and began to carefully sense the state of the ancient formation.

The formation diagram was invented ten thousand years ago, so this ancient formation without a formation diagram must have been operating for more than ten thousand years. Without the auxiliary operation of the formation diagram, many loopholes and scattered places have appeared in the long process of time.

At the same time, the spiritual veins supporting the formation's operation also showed a sense of twilight.

Feel it, third level low level.

In fact, compared to the treasures that may be hidden in the ancient formations, this newly discovered spiritual vein is the most precious thing to Tiewuan County. Even if there is nothing in the ancient formation, just harvesting this third-level low-level spiritual vein is already a blessing from heaven.

Spiritual veins are not static, and will always change with the passage of time. The level will either increase or decrease. Generally speaking, there will be more decreases than increases. I don’t know how many years have passed since this spiritual vein. It is now at the third low level. I don’t know what level it was originally.

In short, with the current spiritual energy level, the strength of this formation is once again restricted.

After carefully sensing it for half an hour, Lu Qian had a rough idea.

The ancient formation in front of me now is like a messy, twisted ball of thread. However, by comparing the various key nodes in the Twelve Capital Heaven Sumeru Formation, he could still find several key points hidden under the complicated combination.

With these key points and the scattered nodes of the formation itself, it is like finding a few thread ends in this ball of thread. By pulling out the threads and peeling off the cocoons, you can sort out part of the threads, which is the veins of the formation.

After discovering the veins, you can use the "Mirror Lake" induction method to break the formation in the "Secret Manual of Wave Formation", and cut the remaining "silk threads" section by section by injecting the conflicting and ever-changing five elements of spiritual energy. .

In this way, this twisted and messy ball of thread was dismantled into pieces, and the ancient formation naturally stopped functioning.

Lu Qian took a deep breath and slowly gathered up most of his consumed consciousness. The feeling of emptiness in the sea of ​​consciousness made people feel dizzy.

"How? Can it be cracked?" Master Zangfeng asked.

Lu Gan nodded: "Nine times out of ten."

Ye Xiao's eyes showed admiration, but the strong man behind her snorted unconvincingly.

Lu Gan didn't bother to pay attention to him. He sat down cross-legged and took out a bottle of Fairy Spirit Replenishing Pill. He said, "But the crack cannot be solved in a day. The mountain here is unstable. I have to take my time. It is estimated that it will take about twenty years." About a day or so.”

Before Master Zangfeng spoke, Ye Xiao clapped his hands: "Okay, I thought it would take long, but it's only twenty days. Just break the formation, and I will naturally arrange everything."

She turned around and gave some instructions to the strong man. The strong man looked at Lu Gan angrily and left.

Soon Lu Gan understood what to arrange.

The controller of Tieyuan, Jindan Zhenren Ye Xiao, moved his palace here!
It was a giant floating ship, sixty feet long from head to tail, four times as long as Lingxu Zhenyuan Shenzhou.

The dense arrays and talismans on the ship's hull shimmered with light of various colors, making people dazzled. On the deck, there is a magnificent seven-story pavilion, with golden flags flying on the mast.

The name of this divine boat is painted on the huge sail.

Lingfei Shunji Shenzhou!

There is no doubt that this is also an elite-level floating ship. It has such a huge size, which is really breathtaking.

It's just that the specific armament situation cannot be seen. Now this Shenzhou is simply used as Ye Xiao's palace.

In Ye Xiao's words, during the period when Lu Gan broke the formation, he was a distinguished guest in the palace, and all his requests would be met in the palace.

Lu Qian boarded the ship and entered the building out of curiosity. He had experienced the modern decadence and extravagance, but he could only sigh, he had never seen this scene before.

All requirements are met, and this is no lie.

After letting the charming, hot, innocent, and pitiful triplets in the room retreat, Lu Qian decided that it would be better not to come here less, so as not to affect his hard and simple life style.

But Lu Qian did not think that Ye Xiao was an extremely extravagant Jindan master. He also met several other guests in the building. After a brief conversation, Lu Qian already knew the significance of this palace.

This is just a way for the poor Tieyuan County and the weak Huanggen Sect to recruit monks.

She was so open and honest in wooing her, Zangfeng Zhenren couldn't say anything, but he had confidence in Lu Qian and didn't stop her at all.

Seeing that Lu Qian should be eating and drinking, taking a rest in the Lingfei Shunji Shenzhou, he returned to the cave and continued to break the formation. He didn't look like he was sinking. Ye Xiao didn't feel annoyed at all, but faced Zang Feng. A few words of praise from the real person.

This leader Lu is indeed no ordinary person!
Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye, and several people returned to the formation and waited quietly.

Lu Qian clapped his hands lightly, the Dao pattern moved, and a changing spirit of the five elements was injected into the last node.

The spiritual energy in the formation fluctuates, changes, twists, and vibrates, nodes are broken, and veins are broken.

Just listen to the sound of pop, like a bubble bursting, the fluorescence suddenly blooms and then disappears, the mist scatters, and the ancient formation breaks down!

The rock wall in the cave only fell some dust and did not collapse.

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life." Lu Qian opened his eyes, and all the tide of consciousness returned to Niwan Palace, and the spiritual power in his body also calmed down. "Good job!" Ye Xiao praised, and several people looked at the formation at the same time. Everything in the heart of the mountain appeared clearly in front of a few people's eyes.

A circular three-story altar, a temple about ten feet high?
Master Zangfeng pondered for a moment: "Yan Beixing, please stay and guard, don't let anyone else come in."

In fact, this place is the hinterland of Tieyuan County. Ye Xiao's Spirit Flying Shunji Shenzhou has left after completing its mission, and no one will enter here at all. He said this just because he was concerned about safety and didn't want Yan Beixing to take risks.

Ye Xiao thought for a while and left the strong man behind.

The eyes of the two golden elixirs turned to Lu Gan, and Lu Gan waved his hand: "I have spent a lot of money, so I will take a rest first and not go in."

Although he claimed that he had 10% of the loot, this ancient formation had been around for at least ten thousand years. The formation was both an altar and a temple. It was very strange, so why take the risk.

Besides, since Master Zangfeng and Ye Xiao have reached a promise, if there is any gain, they will not lose their share.

The two golden elixirs naturally would not force themselves, and looked at each other. The powerful golden elixir consciousness had completely filled the cave with a radius of 100 feet.

I explored the past almost inch by inch, but found nothing else.

There are no mechanisms or hidden objects, just an altar and a temple.

The golden elixir spiritual pressure rose up on both of them almost at the same time, and the spiritual light of the magic weapon in their arms also bloomed, and they walked cautiously inside.

Lu Gan sat down cross-legged and watched the two people's actions quietly. It was just an excuse. In fact, everything went smoothly on the last day. The consumption of spiritual consciousness was very small, and there was no need to adjust the breath.

Master Zangfeng and Ye Xiao kept their consciousness out, approached the altar, and looked up bit by bit.

The three-story jade altar is actually three-level jade steps. On the top of the altar is a large square cauldron.

Although a long period of time has passed, under the nourishment of the spiritual energy, the jade altar has not been petrified and still exudes a warm luster. The nine-foot-long and wide square tripod also glows with a faint green light. Traces of rust.

It's just that the cauldron and the jade steps are covered with mottled and irregular black and brown marks everywhere. These marks even penetrate deeply into the jade steps, forming large areas of clear color in the white jade.

Master Zangfeng said in a deep voice: "It's blood."

Yes, that was blood, blood that was splashed everywhere and covered the altar.

Ye Xiao narrowed his eyes, and the magic weapon in his arms shone even brighter. The two golden elixirs stood side by side, stood up, and looked into the cauldron.

In the cauldron are skeletons stacked together in a messy manner!

There once was a cruel sacrifice here, and the sacrifice was human beings!
Sacrifice of human beings is definitely not a good place!
The two golden elixirs looked at the closed temple, and their spiritual energy was already mobilized.

If human beings are sacrificed, what are they enshrined in this temple?
Master Zangfeng nodded to Ye Xiao, then his chest puffed up and he blew out a breath.

In an instant, Lu Gan, who was dozens of feet away, felt the sharp and biting cold.

Mingyu sword style·no edge!

The gas, which looked like mist but not mist, and looked like cloud but not cloud, passed by quickly, and the two doors of the temple instantly turned into powder.

It was quiet in the temple, and there was no movement at all.

The two golden elixirs stood at the door for a long time. After discussing for a few words, Ye Xiao protected his body with a brilliant light and slowly walked in.

She took a step, paused, took a step, and paused again, cautiously, but until she got deep into the temple, nothing happened.

She heard her whisper: "Fellow Daoist Li, there is nothing unusual. Come and see this. Do you recognize it?"

Master Zangfeng also walked in slowly, and both figures entered the temple.

Lu Qian, Yan Beixing and the strong man waited for a cup of tea, but neither of the two golden elixirs came out. Fortunately, the two of them were still talking softly, which at least proved that nothing happened.

"Lu Gan." Master Zangfeng's voice rang out, "It's not dangerous. Come and take a look and help identify it."

Lu Gan responded, his consciousness fully opened, and he flew low against the escape light without touching the ground. The golden treasure mirror was already hanging high above his head, and his whole body was enveloped by the light of the Five Elements Formation.

As he passed the altar covered in blood and the tripod filled with human bones, he felt a chill in his heart and became more cautious in his defense.

Arriving in front of the temple gate, I looked around and saw two real people standing there, and in front of them stood a statue as tall as one person.

Besides, there is nothing in this temple.

Master Zangfeng waved to him: "Don't panic, come and take a look at this. You are knowledgeable, maybe you can recognize it?"

Lu Qian's spiritual consciousness first scanned the statue, but it was unknown what material the statue was made of. It could isolate his spiritual consciousness and prevent further induction, so he had to confirm it himself.

He walked up behind the two Jindans without any danger. The statue was a young immortal with fluttering white clothes and vague immortality. It was lifelike and lifelike.

Especially the pair of eyes of the immortal, no matter how you look at them, you feel that they are the same as those of real people. When you look at them, you feel that the immortal is staring at you with a smile but not a smile.

Lu Qian felt even colder in his heart and didn't want to look any further. He moved his eyes downwards and saw a few lines of ancient words engraved on the base of the statue.

It turns out that Master Zangfeng and Ye Xiao are discussing the meaning of words.

Thousands of years have passed, and even the characters have been simplified a lot. This is ancient seal script, and the two of them cannot fully recognize it.

But Lu Qian really recognized it. Among the books in Xuanjun's collection, there were books dedicated to teaching ancient and modern characters, and there were also many ancient books based on ancient texts, so Lu Qian also learned some, hoping that they would be useful here.

After looking at it for a moment, Lu Qian said in a deep voice: "The Heavenly Lord who is compassionate and promotes the Tao and the wonderful Dharma."

"Take my urn, and the three disasters will not be near."

"Adhere to my laws and they will be invulnerable to all calamities."

Ye laughed and widened his eyes: "It's him!"

Master Zangfeng also said in surprise: "Seventh Heavenly Lord! Weren't all the temples of the Tenth Heavenly Lord destroyed long ago in the True Immortal Disaster?"

Lu Qian's heart sank. He had also heard the name of the Ten Heavenly Lords from the collection of books.

Since the opening of this world, the first ten immortals to ascend!

There are two lines of words below. The moment he saw them clearly, his heart beat like a drum!

Lu Gan read it word for word.

"Give me your flesh and blood, and we will ascend to bliss together."

"I will sacrifice your soul and go to the immortal court together."

Suddenly, there was a popping sound outside the door, followed by the sound of choking in the trachea!
Several people suddenly turned their heads and saw Yan Beixing and the strong man kneeling down on the third-level altar in front of the bronze square cauldron at some unknown time.

Both of them clenched a sharp weapon in their hands. With a strange smile on his face, the strong man cut his own throat and blood spurted out! (End of chapter)
