Chapter 288 Ding Furnace Method

"The rest of the matter will be handed over to Uncle Rong first. As for the family, let's see how the patriarch and the others arrange it." Zhang Shiping nodded.

As for the White Ape Mountain, every year a well-informed and stable cultivator is sent to come here once, not directly to the door, but under the guise of a trader or other name, come and take a look and confirm the affairs of the Liang family in Linbu City. By the way, I brought Zhang Tongrong and the three of them the spiritual stone elixir they needed to practice for a year.

It has been five months since the Zhang family came last time, which means that in about seven months, someone will come here again.At that time, when the Zhang family learned that the Liang family was in great distress, it would not be up to Zhang Tongrong to decide whether to make any more arrangements.

As for Zhang Shiping, he can speak up, but now that the Zhang family is implicated by him, how can he have such a thick skin to meddle in the affairs of the clan, maybe there are still people in the clan complaining about him

Now that Zhang Shiping knew that the Zhang family was safe, he felt at ease.There are many families in Baimang Mountain, and if they want to come to Wanjianmen, they will not take the Zhang family as a small foundation-building family in their eyes.

However, although Zhang Shiping is not on the list of Wanjianmen's heavy reward to hunt down, but if he goes back and is known to others, Wanjianmen should send someone over.

Only how many foundations are built in a sect, these people may know where the high-level monks and true disciples of Zhengyang Sect have gone into exile.Zhang Shiping paid himself that if he was a member of Wanjianmen, he would not miss such an opportunity, no matter how small it was, it was better than having no clue.

At that time, Wanjianmen will not treat Zhang Shiping, a disciple of Zhengyang Sect, in a friendly manner. Before Zhang Shiping clears the suspicion, their torture methods will not be so polite.Zhang Shiping may not lose his life, but it is certain to lose a layer of skin.

The premise is that he does not know anything, otherwise his life will be difficult to save.In the world of immortals, everything is lacking, but there is no shortage of means of torture.

In the past, in the dark hall of Zhengyang Sect, there were many such methods, and Zhang Shiping had already heard of it.

"After nightfall, I took the second elder to the bottom of the river to take a look. Maybe the second elder, you have a way to break the cave's magic circle. In fact, we have thought of a variety of methods in the past two months, but none of them work." Zhang Tongrong was a little helpless. If they had a way to break the ancient cave formation earlier, maybe there would not be so many things in the future.

"You don't need to bother Uncle Rong. After nightfall, I'll do it by myself. I still need you to preside over the affairs of the mansion." Zhang Shiping got up and said.It took the three of them a month or two, but they couldn't break through the formation, and it wouldn't make much difference to go again.

Zhang Shiping also knew the location of the ancient cave at the bottom of the river from the gorgeous man, so he didn't need his uncle to lead the way.And if something unexpected happens, it's more convenient for him as a Foundation Establishment cultivator to enter and return.

As for why he had to wait after nightfall, it was because there were a lot of boats sailing on the Pingcang River during the day. If Zhang Shiping made any movement, it would be impossible to hide from the public eye, and it would be easy to attract other monks to compete at that time.

When the monks discovered the ancient Xiudong Mansion, or other treasures, they would try their best to explore slowly by themselves, making a fortune in silence, how could they want everyone to know about it.

That is to say, the Nanfa Temple on the other side of the South China Sea, or the secret realm left over from ancient times, these important places that are born once in tens of hundreds of years, every time they are born, they are full of visions, and only then in the world of cultivating immortals, people will be exhausted. all know

There is not enough cultivation in these places, and if you go in, nine out of ten you will die in the secret realm.

"That's fine, Second Elder, be careful." Zhang Tongrong ordered, the people in the mansion were panicked, and he didn't dare to leave at this time. Who knows how long it will take to break the formation?

"I'll go back to the room to rest first, Uncle Rong, don't be too tired." Zhang Shiping nodded and said softly.

The Liang Mansion was originally very large and had many yards, but now it is a lot desolate. Zhang Shiping walked for a long time and saw no one, only white paper lanterns hung everywhere, where people died, and Some incense candles that have been burned out, and paper money that has been burned to ashes, are scattered.

Zhang Shiping returned to the room. After closing the door, Zhang Shiping took out the storage bag from the two of them from his arms. He spread out the silk handkerchief, and his consciousness penetrated into the two storage bags. Except for some clothes, The rest are the same as other monks, magic tools, bottles and jars, spiritual stones and jade slips, nothing more than these.

Zhang Shiping sorted them into categories, and discarded the useless things. After doing this, half an hour had passed.

He wiped on the storage bag, and a sheet of paper with dark color and fine texture appeared in front of Zhang Shiping.

In the world of cultivating immortals, the things that can hide the spiritual consciousness of the foundation-building monks are either extremely precious treasures or worthless vulgar things.Can be treasured by Yin Huanzong, a late foundation-building monk, it must be the former

Time passed slowly, and after another half an hour, Zhang Shiping tried a variety of methods, and finally found the right method.The cultivator's consciousness is useless to this piece of black paper, and it has no effect if it is soaked in water and burned, but it is extremely sensitive to the cultivator's mana.

Looking at the black paper on the table, it has already changed its appearance, it has faded from black, and it is pale yellow. Painted all the bedding things between men and women, lifelike.

Zhang Shiping had read this method of Lianhua Chanting Fenglian from the beginning to the end. He was a little embarrassed at first, thinking that it was just a method of dual cultivation, but at the end, Zhang Shiping showed a strange look.

It turned out that on the surface, although this practice method is a double practice method for men and women, Zhang Shiping saw it at the end and realized that it was a cauldron mining and replenishing practice method.

If the technique practiced by Yin Huanzong and Yin Huanzong is this kind of Lianhuayinfenglian, then the beautiful man must be uneasy and well-intentioned.If that handsome man cultivated to the completion of Foundation Establishment and absorbed all the magic power of his junior sister, it should increase the chance of forming alchemy.

Zhang Shiping looked at this black piece of paper, and to be honest, he was a little moved about the exercises that were helpful for forming pills.However, Zhang Shiping thought about it for a while, and finally put it away.

He has already practiced the Fire Crow Jue to the present level, and it is too late to switch to other methods. For the monks in the late stage of foundation establishment, almost no one will switch to other methods at this time.

And if it is only used as a method of repairing the pot, Zhang Shiping is not a cultivator of Yuanying Jindan, how can he get a female cultivator of Jindan to do it? It doesn't gain much by itself.

Unless Zhang Shiping recruits and replenishes many people, but it will make his own mana no longer pure, so down, this practice method is really tasteless to Zhang Shiping.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shiping was a little disappointed, he withdrew his mana, and the text on the paper disappeared.Zhang Shiping's consciousness wrapped the blackened paper, and with one thought, he put it in the storage bag.

Then Zhang Shiping took out a futon, sat cross-legged, meditated, and quietly waited for the night to come.

The Liang Mansion was extremely quiet. Zhang Tongrong was wandering in the mansion to see if any of the clan members who died violently, held resentment and did not want to rest in peace, turned into resentful souls. If he found out, he would be able to transform them as soon as possible.

Chapter 289

When it was late at night, Zhang Shiping opened his eyes and stood up, put away the old futon used for meditation, and slowly walked out of the door.

Both sides of the Pingcang River are lush with water and grass. After nightfall, only a few boats are still slowly moving on the river. The fishermen have already brought their fishing boats into the port, and the fishing lights are dotted.

Zhu Lao Er was protecting a pottery lamp, looking at the river in the distance, the oil lamp was missing a corner, and the lamp oil was full, but it didn't matter, even if the oil lamp was intact, he would not be full of oil, the boat shook violently, When a big wave came, the lamp went down.

He always said enough is enough, enough is enough, but don't waste it.It has been like this for decades, and he can save as much as he can, that is, when his mother-in-law gave birth to a child at night, he became more energetic, turned on the light, saw the child's face clearly, and looked at the wrinkled little flesh. Tuan, his face that has been blackened by the river wind all the year round, smiles like a flower.

Tonight, the clouds are very thick, and the moonlight is not visible. The water waves are only a dozen feet away, then it is dark, and the scenery after that can no longer be seen.Zhu Lao Er was a little worried. It seemed like a needle was stuck between the bones in his leg, and it was going to change tomorrow.

When he was worried, his mother-in-law called him, Zhu Lao Er turned his head, it was pitch black inside the boat shed, his half-year-old child was already sleeping soundly, he sighed, he has been frugal for many years I used it, but I didn’t save much money. I don’t know when I will be able to collect enough money to find a school for my child to study.

If one's own son is the material for reading, it is of course the best to be able to become the champion.Even if you don't have this life, you still have to recognize a few words and know the number. It will be easier to find a lighter job in the city, and people must have hope.

The wind blew the reeds and grass on the river, and the bean-sized fishing lantern swayed and then went out. He took it carefully and waited, and got into the boat shed.After entering the boat shed, He Yi lay down on the boat, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Not long after Zhu Lao Er entered the boat shed, a dark shadow appeared beside the reeds.

Zhang Shiping was standing on the shore in the dark of night. He did not directly enter the water, but urged his spiritual sense to emit his spiritual sense to see if there were monsters lurking in the water. Although this possibility was very small, it was not a big mistake to be careful.

The river here is about thirteen or four miles wide, all within the range of Zhang Shiping's consciousness.

However, once the cultivator's spiritual sense is blocked by foreign objects, the effect will be greatly reduced. After the spiritual sense entered the water, Zhang Shiping felt the barrier of the river water.

However, the Pingcang River was at the deepest point here, only more than a hundred feet deep. With Zhang Shiping's consciousness, he could barely reach the bottom of the river.But this ancient cave at the bottom of the river, as expected, is the same as Zhang Shiping's soul search. The magic formation outside the cave has the effect of isolating the cultivator's spiritual consciousness, which is stronger than Zhang Shiping's five-element magic formation.

Speaking of this, Zhang Shiping felt a little pain in his heart.When he went to Hujia Village, he thought it was just an ordinary sect mission, and the time should not be long.Up to now, Zhang Shiping doesn't know who is cheaper for this magic array device that he spent thousands of spirit stones on?

After learning the news of the re-establishment of Wanjianmen and the escape of the sect, Zhang Shiping sipped Hanako in pain.To say that Zhang Shiping doesn't matter, it is absolutely false. Without Lingshan, the impact on Zhang Shiping's practice is too great.

Fortunately, most of his things are carried with him. There are not many things in the cave, and the matter has long passed. Zhang Shiping can only comfort himself like this.

Today is not as good as in the past. Zhang Shiping is in the late stage of foundation building and wants to quickly condense his mana. Lingshi pills are indispensable. With the spirit stone pills in Zhang Shiping's storage bag today, he can't last for a few years. Zhang Shiping wouldn't give up so foolishly to repair the cave.

He took out a round bead, and there was blue light flowing in the bead. Zhang Shiping held the blue bead and stepped into the river silently. The river avoided him until Zhang Shiping disappeared into the water.

In the river more than a hundred feet deep in the river, Zhang Shiping walked towards the ancient cave mansion while avoiding the water droplets.After a while, Zhang Shiping stood on the silt at the bottom of the river, and he threw several moonstones in front of him in a clear light.

He looked at the cave in front of him, the magic circle exuded a dark aura like ink, and the magic circle was only a little higher than the mud at the bottom of the river.The cave houses that were originally buried in the mud at the bottom of the river have all been dug up, about two acres in size.

This is what his three clan uncles worked hard for several days to clean up.

Zhang Shiping circled around here, because of the dark aura of the magic circle, and because Zhang Shiping couldn't penetrate the magic circle, he couldn't even find the entrance to the cave, and it was no wonder that the two of the Yin Huan Sect were He had to ask his three clan uncles to enter the formation method.

Facing this tortoise shell, Zhang Shiping was in a bit of trouble for a while.Zhang Shiping deliberately touched his beard, thought for a while, put his hand on the storage bag at his waist, and took out five identical black flags.

He gently tossed it forward, and the five-pole flag instantly turned into five black lights, and flew towards the Dongfu Formation. The black light flickered. His face was overjoyed, but it didn't take long before he took out the magic circle and suddenly shot out five black lights.After Heiguang entered the formation, Zhang Shiping concentrated on the formation, not letting go of the slightest bit.

The five black lights stopped in front of Zhang Shiping, he took one of them, and the rest of the screws fell into the bottom of the river.

Looking at the tattered and dead array flag, Zhang Shiping showed a solemn expression, and he looked up at the ink-like array, which had the effect of infringing the magic weapon.

These five 'Dark Light Array Flags' were plundered by Zhang Shiping from the gorgeous man, and they really were of no use.

But it can't be said that it has no effect. Zhang Shiping stared at the front. In his consciousness, he could detect that the atmosphere of this magic circle had weakened a little bit. With Zhang Shiping's consciousness, he barely noticed it under such concentration. this point.

And after the five 'Nether Water Flags' flew out, in Zhang Shiping's consciousness, the aura of this magic circle took several breaths of time, and absorbed a little water attribute aura from the river water. It will be the same.

The nameless formation here, with Zhang Shiping's formation attainments, although it cannot be deciphered, but like most ancient Dongfu formations, it lacks the most important thing, that is the steady stream of spiritual energy.

Zhang Shiping took out his second-order mid-grade magic weapon, the Dragon Tongue Bow, from the storage belt, stepped back a little, and distanced himself from the magic circle, and then shot several long aura arrows in a row.

"Pfft..."

The long arrow broke through the water and entered the formation, and Zhang Shiping immediately concentrated on feeling the waves of spiritual energy caused by the previous method formation.

Chapter 290

Zhang Shiping didn't use his full force with the long arrow of spiritual energy, because he was worried that if he hit with all his strength, it would trigger a counterattack from the ancient Xiudongfu magic circle emitting ink light in front of him.

Zhang Shiping did not think that he could destroy the array with a single blow with all his strength.

Since his spiritual consciousness was blocked by the formation, Zhang Shiping could only differentiate dozens of spiritual thoughts and dispersed them, paying attention to the movement of the ancient formation after the arrows entered the formation, especially the flow of spiritual energy of the formation.

The most elementary formations in the world of cultivating immortals all rely on the aura emanating from spiritual objects such as spirit veins and stones.Even if you go to the back, it's just the so-called borrowing the stars, the sun and the moon, and inheriting the feng shui of the terrain.In the final analysis, the formation still needs to be maintained by spiritual energy, but the more skilled the formation master, the more able to arrange the formation that is endless.

Of course, this is Zhang Shiping based on what he has seen and heard, but he understands how big the world of immortality is, and there must be more brilliant array masters and more incredible arrays.

Otherwise, why is this magic formation in front of Zhang Shiping not knowing how long ago it still protects the cave today, and even Zhang Shiping, a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, has only weakened a little.

"This" was transformed by Zhang Shiping, paying attention to the movement of the magic circle. When the long arrow of spiritual energy from the Dragon Tongue Bow shot into the magic circle, he clearly felt the fluctuation of the magic circle, and the breath weakened accordingly. But unlike before, the recovery of the magic circle is a little stronger than before.

The blow of his second-tier middle-grade Dragon Tongue Bow was not much different from that of the five-pole first-tier Youshui Formation flag, which made Zhang Shiping a little puzzled. Logically speaking, his arrow shouldn't be so bad.

But fortunately, the formation has weakened a bit, otherwise Zhang Shiping would have to think carefully about whether he should find a person with a high level of formation and come to crack the formation with him.

"Forget it, the method is a bit stupid, but it's better than having no clue." Zhang Shiping smiled, and he took out a bronze long arrow, bent like a full moon, and snapped, like a silver bottle bursting.

The flying arrow shot towards the array, leaving a long string of bubbles behind, which rushed up the river. Zhang Shiping shot an arrow towards the Dongfu array with all his strength this time.

The bronze long arrow touched the magic circle, and Zhang Shiping poured mana into the flying arrow. After being exhausted, Zhang Shiping moved his mind, and the long arrow turned around under his command, and did not fall into the magic circle.Zhang Shiping, he can't guarantee whether this magic circle can erase the spirituality of his flying arrow magic weapon just like polluting the Youshui formation flag.

Even if he strikes with all his strength, there is no strong counter-restriction in this circle. Zhang Shiping's face is also a little relaxed. The next thing is just water grinding. The most important thing Zhang Shiping lacks is patience. .

However, before that, Zhang Shiping still needs to make some preparations. If he breaks the Dongfu formation with brute force, there will be no magic formation in this cave at that time, and the river water pours into it, maybe it will destroy something.

Zhang Shiping turned his hand to collect the dragon tongue bow, took out a small blue array flag, and shot it towards the bottom of the river. All the array flags were submerged in the silt and sand. At every distance, they cast a spell to bury a small blue array flag, and next to these array flags, each buried a water attribute spirit stone glowing with light blue aura.

After Zhang Shiping's storage bag, after all the more than [-] flags were laid out, Zhang Shiping's thoughts moved, and he urged these [-] blue flags, a light blue spiritual screen, to rise from the bottom of the river. Squeezing away the river water, under the urging of Zhang Shiping, the light blue spiritual screen enveloped the entire ancient cultivation formation.

In this newly arranged water-proof array, Zhang Shiping just wanted to put the water-proof beads floating around him into the storage bag, but he stopped. He just raised the water-proof array, and the blue aura The barrier suddenly changed shape.

The aura barrier collapsed, and the water-separating array that had just been activated, was suddenly crushed by the river at the bottom of the hundred-zhang-deep river before it took a few breaths.

Zhang Shiping looked at the light blue aura rising from the bottom of the river, there were a total of thirty or so.These light blue auras are exactly the water attribute spiritual stones he just buried next to each blue array flag.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and a spiritual stone emerged from the mud under his feet. He looked at the water-attribute aura that had no spiritual energy at all. Zhang Shiping looked at the faint blue light in the water, like stars, blending into the formation. in the law.With the integration of blue light, the original dark aura shield of this magic circle exudes a layer of faint black light.

"Plundering the spiritual energy." Zhang Shiping looked at this magic formation in surprise. Generally, the spiritual gathering method can gather the spiritual energy that wanders between the heaven and the earth, but for the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual stones, there is no way to directly gather it. , Only when the spirit stones are placed in the nodes of the formation, the aura emitted by the formation can be gathered by the spirit gathering formation.

The spirit stone that separates the water formation can be a little far away from this ancient cave formation, but as soon as he activated it, the ancient cultivation formation was like a robber, plundering all the spiritual energy in the spirit stone, and he knew this. The formation method has the effect of grabbing the spiritual energy. No wonder when he was testing it, the formation's aura first weakened a little, and then inexplicably increased a little.

Zhang Shiping thought for a while, and then launched some doorways.The mana was refined through his meditation, and it naturally carried his imprint and his own breath. This magic circle could not absorb the mana of the monks, and when Zhang Shiping urged his own mana, the arrows sent out, in the After his mana dissipated, he changed the spiritual energy of Wuzhu again, which was absorbed by the formation here.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth has its own root, it cannot be generated without a reason, nor can it die without a reason. Even if it is absorbed by the monks, it is actually just a different way to exist.

For a time, Zhang Shiping wanted to find a guy with a clever formation. Otherwise, in this case, Zhang Shiping alone cast a spell to break the formation. No matter how deep the mana was, there would be a time when it would be exhausted.When he meditated to recover his mana, the magic circle was naturally absorbing the spiritual energy in the river.

Under such a repeated cycle, Zhang Shiping is afraid that it will take a long time to break through this circle.

He can't find the senior brothers of the sect now. If he finds other cultivators, there may be many changes. The thing that Zhang Shiping dislikes the most is the things that he can't control, whether it is the matter of his own formation, or the survival of the family sect. , none of these things are beyond Zhang Shiping's control.

Three months later, in the bottom of the river, this ancient monk's cave finally showed its original appearance in front of Zhang Shiping's eyes. After the formation broke for a moment, Zhang Shiping felt a burst of heat in the cave, and the river water gushed. past.

Hot and cold intersect, bubbles in groups, rising towards the surface of the river

After the dense bubbles passed, Zhang Shiping looked at this ancient monk's cave with a size of several acres. Only some collapsed buildings were left of the houses built inside.

Zhang Shiping flew towards the cave mansion. He saw those ruins and cliffs, and some things in the cave mansion would definitely be damaged. He was heartbroken.

Chapter 291 Jade Bone

Zhang Shiping spent three months, forcibly relying on his own mana to exhaust the spiritual power of the magic circle here.

He is a little tired, and if he is proficient in the way of formation, there may be a better way.It's better than he spends his mana slowly.

And in the three months, this nameless array has been doing its best to absorb the extremely thin aura in the river water all the time.Even Zhang Shiping felt many times that the magic circle was trying his best to resist a savage person like him as if it had wisdom.

Besides, he couldn't cast spells all the time. Even with his late foundation-building cultivation, he couldn't help but cast spells for a long time, and when the air in the water droplets was exhausted, when Zhang Shiping stopped, he was here. When it is in neutral, the array can still absorb the spiritual energy in the river.

And here the spiritual energy is thin, Zhang Shiping wants to restore the mana, he can only rely on the spiritual power in the spiritual stone, but every time Zhang Shiping meditates, he has to stay farther away from the magic circle and stay in the downstream of the magic circle, otherwise This magic circle is like a robber. From the spiritual stone Zhang Shiping took out, the speed of grabbing the spiritual energy is faster than that of Zhang Shiping, a monk in the later stage of foundation building.

This is why Zhang Shiping has the idea that the magic circle has a spirit, but he shook his head and thought to himself, how can a dead thing be so easy to generate consciousness, and besides, he can't just turn his head and leave for this. .

Therefore, it took Zhang Shiping three full months to deplete the spiritual power of the magic circle that had lost its foundation, and no one controlled it, and without the maintenance of spiritual power, it was naturally unable to withstand the heavy pressure of Baizhang Shenshui.The river water carried this silt and sand, and the formation was full of messes, without its original appearance.

However, in the short moment when the river was pouring back, Zhang Shiping took advantage of this moment to have a panoramic view of this cave house the size of several acres of land.

There is a small yard in the middle of this place, surrounded by a low earth wall, and the door is half-closed.

Outside the earthen wall, there were five old trees growing in front of the door, with dark red bark and bare branches without half a leaf.

In that short moment, Zhang Shiping noticed that there was no vitality here, and after the river water poured in, without the support of the magic circle, the earthen wall of the yard was soaked by the water and collapsed in several places.

Only the small courtyard in the middle was left, with an earthen wall blocking the sand and sand, but that room also collapsed.

Zhang Shiping waited for the bubbles to float up, the filth to sink, and the bottom of the river to become clearer. Then he lightly stepped on the sediment at the bottom of the river and walked towards the gate of the yard.
