King's Landing

Chapter 245 Chapter 240
After more than half an hour, the entire front hall of the ancestral hall could hear the sound of needles falling.And the middle-aged Taoist surnamed Chang finally spoke,
"Nephew Cao! Let me ask you, when did you reach the level of this young man?"

Cao asked without hesitation, and answered with his hands folded. "My disciple has been immersed in drawing arrays for more than 50 years, and it was only 12 years ago that he was able to draw an unmistakable level in this middle and low-level talisman array. It's just far from reaching the level of a man like him. Turn Ruyi—" After finishing speaking, Cao Wen looked at the bronze mirror again.The handsome young man was already sitting cross-legged in the cave, as if he was comprehending something.It's just that part of the spiritual formation on the ground was left unfinished.

"Then, nephew Cao, how long will it take you to complete this spiritual formation?"

This time Cao Wen was a little hesitant, looked at the spirit array again, and then laughed at himself uncertainly. "If it goes well, it will take about two to four hours. But if you are not in the state, it is normal to delay a day—"

The middle-aged man surnamed Chang laughed coldly when he heard the words, and didn't speak again.The others in the hall were dumbfounded again.

After a long time, Nong Yishan coughed lightly again. "Junior Brother Chang, why are you bothering so much? It's not like you don't know the situation at that time!"

"Of course I know what happened that day, and I don't want to blame the headmaster and the elders. I just want to make up for my mistakes—"

The middle-aged Chang's lips twitched slightly: "Now this child has not formally become a teacher, but he can still worship under my Mingzhu Peak!"

A faint displeasure flashed in the eyes of Nongyi Mountain, and then he shook his sleeves helplessly: "There is no need to talk about this matter. It is an established policy for this son to revitalize Xiaoguanfeng. If the order is changed day by day, where is our authority?" ? Then there is the Guangling Absolute Sword, if that child can understand it, it will be of great benefit to the sect. Not only Xiaoguan Peak, but even your Mingzhu Peak will benefit infinitely."

"So, are you sure you won't agree? Because of this small Guanfeng, Mingzhu Peak should decline?"

Everyone in the hall frowned in unison, the middle-aged man surnamed Chang smiled again, and without waiting for anyone to answer, he flicked his sleeves and strode out of the hall door.

Only a few people from Nongyishan were left, looking at each other in the hall, all of them looked sad.

After waiting in the cave for almost an hour, Yue Yu finally completed the last part of the spirit array.But when he just put down his pen, he saw Xia Fan and Cao Wen walking hand in hand.Only this time, the weird feeling the two gave Yue Yu was even stronger.

Afterwards, Cao Wen only checked for a while, and let him leave with a flick of his sleeve.And Xia Fan also began to take him to visit the second and third floors of the entire Wanxian Cave to understand the situation here.

But only halfway through it, Yue Yu's face turned blue and white.Judging from the several caves that Xiafan led him into, there were obviously traces of renovation and alteration in the spiritual formations, and there were many inappropriate points in the connection of spiritual power.Obviously there is a problem with the thickness of the various materials in the spirit ink and the depth of the writing.Although it can barely make the spirit circle work, but it can be used for more than three months, which is considered good.

"Why did I forget that the drawing of the spirit array here is completely different from the rune arrays I have come into contact with before? The single rune of Gale Arrow is simple, and it is enough to paint it with a layer of cinnabar peach wood after engraving. The spirit array in Kunpeng Firstly, it is simple, and the material used is the same as the magic weapon, which is special metal or bone. There is no need for spirit ink, if it is scrapped during engraving, then just throw it away. There is also the The guardian formation must have been made by an expert, and the entire formation was an achievement—”

Thinking of the weird gazes of Cai Xiafan and Cao Wen just now, he was relieved again.

"It turned out that there was a trick here. I guess these two people have probably noticed it. It's ridiculous that I thought of covering up the spirit ink before, but it was a joke for nothing—"

Thinking about the reason, Yue Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing.There is already a thought of breaking the can and breaking it in my heart, since I can't hide it, then doing those tricks will only make others laugh.In fact, if you think about it carefully, it's not a big deal.What attracts his attention now, anyway, is not just a drawing of this spiritual array——

Thinking of this, Yue Yu felt relaxed for a while.He shook his head slightly, then followed Xia Fan's footsteps closely,
"——There are a total of 120 Golden Core cultivator relics on the third floor here, and now there are 420 three Foundation Establishment cultivators, and 28 Spirit Void Realm cultivators are in charge. The former is responsible for drawing the spirit array, and the latter is responsible for designing the array map. Among them A small part is sent to labor by the Law Execution Hall, and some work here and get rewards from the sect. At present, they are all under the temporary management of my senior brother Wei. You are his deputy, nephew. In fact, you don’t need to work hard at ordinary times. Just Watch out for other people not to be lazy, and then help Senior Brother Wei to check the drawing of everyone's spirit array afterwards! In fact, the situation like yesterday and today is just an exception. A few months ago, a large number of unnamed disciples were sent down the mountain, so Wei Brother will do it himself."

At this point, Xia Fan smiled again. "Speaking of this matter, I haven't apologized to you, Senior Nephew Yue. Yesterday Senior Brother Cao said that he wanted to test your ability. I think it's not a big deal, so I didn't say a word to remind you. Please don't go there Go to your heart—"

After Yue Yu heard the words, his chest felt tight again, Xia Fan's words confirmed his deduction more and more.Why is it not enough to test once yesterday, and do it again today?
Thinking carefully about the clues of the past two days, he felt more and more angry, but he also knew that Na Xiafan and Cao Wen couldn't think about it.

However, just when his heart was full of anger and it was difficult to vent, he saw that in a cave he was about to walk into, Xin Ming was following a monk in the foundation building and body tempering period, drawing a talisman there.

When the latter saw Yue Yu coming in, his complexion also changed, and he quickly lowered his head to hide the almost substantive resentment in his eyes.

Yue Yu raised his brows when he saw this, but this time he didn't look around like before and left, but fixedly stared at the two people in front of him.It wasn't until tens of breaths later that he said curiously: "Uncle Xia, these two senior brothers are very capable. I just don't know which part this senior brother Xin is in charge of?"

Xia Fan couldn't figure out what Yue Yu meant for a while, so he made a random move and took the formation map on the ground into his hands.And when Yue Yu took it, he found that there were line marks of different colors on it, which obviously belonged to the division of labor of several people.Even at the bottom of the array, the names of the people and the stipulated time are written.

He glanced casually, and a smile appeared on his face again: "Hehe! It's really rare for a novice to be able to do this. Even the few senior brothers I have seen just now, the brushwork when drawing talismans is not as good as his. So seasoned and skillful. Since that’s the case, why not let him complete the rest? I think his ability is enough—”

Xin Ming suddenly raised his head, staring at Yue Yu with fire in his eyes.And Xia Fan's eyes were slightly concentrated, and he glanced at the spirit array on the ground.Here too, the main part has been completed, and only less than one-seventh of it remains.But looking at those runes, it is obvious that it was written by one person.

Xia Fan's heart suddenly brightened, thinking with his heels at this moment, he could guess what Yue Yu was thinking, and if it was a few days ago, he would probably find a way to save Xin Ming.Even if it can't be stopped, it will definitely not get involved in the dispute between the two.But at this moment, after a little calculation in Xia Fan's mind, he has made a decision.

"Junior brother, you are now the deputy deacon here. Why should you ask me how to arrange the manpower? Just remember not to miss the business—"

After a brief reminder, Xia Fan looked at the person next to Xin Ming again, and his eyes became extremely cold at this moment.

"Did you hear what Nephew Yue said just now?"

When the man heard the words, his complexion turned extremely pale, he bowed to the two of them with fear in his eyes, and then hurried out of the room.

At this time, Yue Yu cast his gaze to his feet again. "Senior Brother Xin, I am not too demanding for the rest of this part. How about giving you six days?"

Xia Fan smiled when he heard it. If the formation symbols that Xin Ming was in charge of were really drawn by himself, then in terms of this time, it is indeed generous.But the problem is that Xin Ming himself has never done anything at all, without the help of others, even if Xin Ming is given another month, he may not be able to complete it.

And when he thought about this, he looked at the top of his head again.There are two spirit formations here, upper and lower, which rotate every month, counting the time.After six days, there was still room to fill in the missing part.

Inside the grotto, Xin Ming was the only one who was both angry and angry. He first glanced at Xia Fan coldly.Then his expression was ferocious again, and he glared at Yue Yu with his eyes tearing apart, and almost made a sound through the gap between his teeth. "Yue Yu, don't go too far!"

"Excessive?"

Yue Yu frowned, and then looked puzzled. "This is strange. Could it be that the part you completed earlier was not actually from you?"

Xin Ming was dumbfounded for a while, knowing that if he admits it at this moment, there must be no good results.Just one charge of deceit is enough to make the other party take the opportunity to do something.

And knowing that he could not refute, the depression and anger in his heart became more and more intense.He could only clenched his fists tightly, and all ten fingertips pierced deeply into the flesh.Only then did he suppress the urge to tear the boy in front of him into pieces.

Seeing Xin Ming's silent response, Yue Yu immediately smiled again, and he didn't bother to entangle this person any longer.Taking Xin Ming's eyes full of hatred as nothing, he walked out of the cave door.

——The habit of being a mercenary made Yue Yu accustomed to leaving no room for the enemy.It's just that he was secretly surprised that Cai Xiafan's attitude just now was a bit beyond his expectation.
