Chapter 579: Forbidden Land
After a few days, Lu Ye had figured out the situation in Fox Fairy Valley, but he still had no idea how to take Li Baxian away safely.
If the fox demon's soul secret technique was not broken, Li Baxian would not follow him obediently, and killing the fox demon was even more impossible. In addition to seeing her once in the fox demon's bedroom when he first came, Lu Ye had not seen her again in the past few days. That guy always stayed in his bedroom and did not show up.
Moreover, even if she really showed up, Lu Ye could not kill her with his current strength, because there were many cultivators guarding her.
There was another good news, which came from Feng Yuechan.
The wolf pack in the spiritual land has grown again. At first, there were only more than a hundred wolves in the pack. Later, no one knew where they went to gather more of their kind. When Tan Sheng and others entered the spiritual land, there were more than two hundred wolves in the pack. Just one day ago, the wolf pack brought back a group of tribesmen, expanding the tribe to more than three hundred.
In Lu Ye's plan, killing the fox demon must rely on the power of the wolf pack, so the growth of the wolf pack is a good thing for him.
Just wait for a suitable opportunity.
There are too many cultivators in the Fox Fairy Valley, and there are formations to rely on. Even if there are more than 300 wolves, they are definitely not opponents. If the wolf pack can grow to 500, maybe they can try to attack the Fox Fairy Valley, but 300 is still too much.
Can only continue to wait for a good opportunity.
On the second day of learning swordsmanship with Xia Liang, Zhou Yuntian came over and conveyed the order of the fox demon. In the future, Lu Ye will be the main person in charge of the formation of the Fox Fairy Valley, and Xie Yunhan will be the auxiliary.
Since it was the order of the fox demon, Lu Ye had no reason to refuse. He immediately accepted the order and finally confirmed that Zhou Yuntian's favoritism towards him yesterday was indeed because of his performance in the formation.
Xie Yunhan must have said a lot of good things about him.
In fact, it doesn't make much difference who is the main and who is the auxiliary on weekdays. The formation in Fox Fairy Valley has been maintained for many years. Lu Ye and Xie Yunhan have been doing various maintenance and adjustments a few days ago. Now they don't need to do much. They can walk around Fox Fairy Valley three times a day in the morning, noon and evening to check the operation of the formation.
The change of main and auxiliary is just a nominal change, which allows Lu Ye to get more attention and a higher status in Fox Fairy Valley.
Most of the time, Lu Ye followed Xia Liang to practice swordsmanship. He never cared about it before, but since he practiced swordsmanship with Xia Liang, he found that his foundation was too poor.
Since he embarked on the road of cultivation, he has explored almost everything by himself, especially in swordsmanship. No one has ever taught him systematically and completely. The only help he got was the swordsmanship practice experience that the third senior brother entrusted to his son in the Lingxi battlefield, which allowed him to learn the art of moving blood.
But this is just a secret technique that soldiers generally need to practice, and it is useless for improving the foundation.
Xia Liang's careful guidance can undoubtedly make up for Lu Ye's shortcomings.
Lu Ye cherishes such an opportunity very much.
How to exert force, how to breathe, how to change moves, these are all particular. Lu Ye used to just swing the sword instinctively, but now with Xia Liang's guidance, he feels quite enlightened, and the foundation of his swordsmanship is increasing day by day.
Xia Liang has praised Lu Ye's talent in swordsmanship more than once, and even said frankly that if he could have joined the Crazy Blade Sect at the beginning, he would definitely have been able to obtain the essence of the Crazy Blade Sect.
Time flies, and several days have passed.
This morning, Lu Ye and Xie Yunhan inspected the various formations in Fox Fairy Valley as usual. It took half an hour to check all the formations and make sure they were running well.
Lu Ye was about to go back to practice swordsmanship with Xia Liang, and Xie Yunhan suddenly said: "Brother, there is another place to inspect today."
Lu Ye asked curiously: "Another place?"
There are only so many places to inspect every day. He has been completely familiar with them these days. He is sure that there is nothing missed. Where does the other place come from?
"That is the forbidden area of Fox Fairy Valley. It only needs to be investigated once every half a month. No one is allowed to approach it on weekdays." Xie Yunhan explained.
"Forbidden area?" Lu Ye was immediately interested. There was actually a forbidden area in Fox Fairy Valley. He had never known about it before.
However, since it was a forbidden area, he, a newcomer, naturally could not know it clearly.
As Xie Yunhan walked in one direction until the deepest part of Fox Fairy Valley, a large formation appeared in front of him.
"That's it." Xie Yunhan pointed to the large formation in front of him. "No one is allowed to approach this place, but the Lord has ordered me to come here to check every half a month. From now on, this matter will be handed over to you."
Lu Ye looked at the formation in front of him. On the surface, it was a concealing formation. There should be a protective formation running inside, but with the concealing formation, it was impossible to see the situation inside.
The range covered by the formation was not too large, only about a dozen feet in radius, in a circle.
"What's inside?" Lu Ye asked.
Xie Yunhan shook his head: "I don't know."
"I don't know?" Lu Ye was surprised.
"When I came to Fox Fairy Valley, the forbidden area was already there. I usually just maintain the formation and never go in... Brother, the Lord does not allow anyone to enter it. You only need to check it every half a month in the future."
"I understand."
At that moment, the two of them went their separate ways to check the operation of the formation, and when they were sure it was intact, they left quickly.
"Brother, come to my place for a drink?" Xie Yunhan invited.
"I'll bother you later, brother. I'm going to find Brother Xia to practice swordsmanship first."
Xie Yunhan chuckled: "Then I'll wait for you."
"Friend Lu Dao!"
A voice suddenly came from not far away. Lu Ye turned around and saw Zhou Yuntian smiling at him over there, as if he was waiting for him.
Xie Yunhan said: "Brother Zhou is looking for you. He must have something to do. You should go there first."
Lu Ye nodded, separated from Xie Yunhan, and headed towards Zhou Yuntian.
When he got close, he cupped his fists and saluted: "Fellow Daoist Zhou."
Zhou Yuntian said with concern: "You have worked hard these past few days. Your Majesty is very satisfied with your performance."
Lu Ye immediately showed a look of joy and said: "Serving your Majesty is the duty of my subordinates."
"Yes." Zhou Yuntian nodded slightly, "Fellow Daoist Lu is right to think so. Everything we are waiting for is given by your Majesty. Protecting your Majesty is our greatest mission!"
There was a look of fanaticism on his face, as if the superior told him to die, but he would not frown.
Lu Ye felt chilled in his heart when he saw this, and changed the subject: "Do you have anything to do with me, fellow Daoist Zhou?"
"Oh." Zhou Yuntian came back to his senses, "When I met with Your Majesty a few days ago, I remember that Fellow Daoist Lu once said that he was proficient in the way of spiritual patterns, formations and tattoos?"
"Actually speaking, strictly speaking, I am a spirit pattern master, and I have only dabbled in the art of formation and tattooing."
"With just a little dabbling, Fellow Daoist Lu has such a high attainment in the formation path, so what about the tattoo path?"
"I have just practiced the Tao of Tattoo for a short time, and it is absolutely incomparable to the Tao of Formation."
"Maybe he got a tattoo?"
"Yes, I can, but I can only tattoo three kinds of tattoos."
"What three?"
"The offensive sharpness, the defensive guarding, and the auxiliary wind."
Zhou Yuntian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked eagerly: "What's the success rate?"
"Basically speaking, the possibility of failure is very small." I have practiced with the wolves before, and there are very few failures, and it doesn't matter if it fails. After a while, the tattoo position will be restored, and it can be tattooed again. That’s it, it won’t cause much damage to the tattoo carrier.
"Okay, okay!" Zhou Yuntian was overjoyed, "Fellow Daoist Lu, can you show me something?"
"Of course you can. I wonder who wants tattoos?" Lu Ye still has a lot of tattoo material in his hand, which is enough for use.
“Just tattoo Zhou’s body.”
"Fellow Taoist follow me that week." After Lu Ye finished speaking, he led the way.
He quickly returned to his attic, took out various tattoo materials, and introduced it to Zhou Yuntian again. This time he said: "What kind of tattoo does Zhou Yuntian want?"
Zhou Yuntian pondered for a moment, then said, "Please guard me."
Sharp tattoos are not suitable for tattooing on people. This is different from demon wolves. After all, monks usually use spiritual weapons to fight. No one will scratch people with their hands or bite people with their mouths. Use tattoos on monks. Except Yushou is Fengxing.
One allows the monks to have a stronger defense method, and the other allows the monks to run faster.
Generally speaking, Yu Shou is the most suitable. It is not surprising that Zhou Yuntian makes such a choice.
"Where do you want to stab fellow Taoist Zhou?" Lu Ye asked again.
Zhou Yuntian stretched out his hand to pull open the clothes on his chest and tapped his heart: "Here!"
It's a very normal choice. The heart is a vital part of a person's body, and it is protected by a guardian spirit pattern. It is very likely that it can save lives at certain critical moments.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, please lie down." Lu Ye extended his hand to signal.
Zhou Yuntian lay on Lu Ye's bed and opened his clothes.
Lu Ye picked up the stinging needle, dipped it in the material of the imperial tattoo, raised his hand and stabbed Zhou Yuntian's heart.
When the needle fell, Zhou Yuntian's expression was obviously a little nervous, but he soon relaxed.
As needle after needle was pricked, a triangular earth-yellow mark gradually appeared on Zhou Yuntian's heart. The complex lines in the mark were connected and interlocked. Just looking at it gave people a feeling of impregnability. feeling.
A guard tattoo is nothing to Lu Ye.
After spending less than a stick of incense, Lu Ye stopped and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, it's done."
Zhou Yuntian stood up, looked down at the mark on his chest, poured some spiritual power into it, and a triangular barrier immediately appeared on his chest. The barrier was close to his chest and was obviously much tougher than his own body-protecting spiritual power. times.
Zhou Yuntian was overjoyed and couldn't help but praise: "Fellow Daoist Lu is really impressive. He is able to pierce tattoos in the Yunhe realm. This is really the only thing Zhou has seen in his life."
Lu Ye said: "Fellow Daoist Zhou is ridiculous. My skills are not good. This is just a temporary tattoo. The number of times it can be used is limited. As long as Daoist Zhou is satisfied."
"Satisfied, so satisfied." Zhou Yuntian nodded with a smile. Looking at Lu Ye again, he felt more and more that he had picked up a treasure.
