Chapter 400 Uninvited Guests
Qianjia Town, Dongshan Village.
Not long after Mo Hua left, a group of uninvited guests arrived outside the village.
They stood on the mountain, looked at Dongshan Village from a distance, and then took out a golden compass, as if looking for something.
The needle on the compass was erratic and pointed to an unknown direction.
They frowned, found nothing, and finally left quietly.
This group of monks came and left quickly, without disturbing the local monks.
The spiritual farmers in Dongshan Village did not know that outsiders were spying on them.
They still care about the spiritual field, the harvest, and their livelihood, and are thinking of ways to compete with the Sun family.
A few days later, three more monks arrived.
A skinny old man, a middle-aged monk with a gentle face and a paper fan in his hand, and a young man in white with clear features.
The skinny old man took out the copper coin, threw it in the air, and landed on his palm.
Seeing the copper coin hexagram number, he muttered something in his mouth, and after a while he sighed:
"It seems to be here, but I can't quite tell..."
The middle-aged monk said: "Elder Ge calculated that the man is at this state border. It is only a matter of time to find him."
The skinny old man sneered, "What are you thinking about?"
The middle-aged monk was startled.
The old man sighed: "The sound is loud, but the elephant is invisible."
"At his level, let alone the same state border, even if he is in the same fairy city, you can't find him if he covers his tracks."
"If there is no sound, it cannot be heard. If there is no form, it cannot be seen. If there is no way, it cannot be known."
"If he hides his anger, there is nothing we can do."
"How can monks like us understand the calculations of heaven and earth?"
The middle-aged monk frowned:
"Don't you have the three-cai-yi-count copper coin given by Mr. Ge?"
The old man weighed the copper coins in his hand and sighed:
"These three-talented copper coins are a good thing, but it also depends on who uses them and who counts them."
"I'm not good enough, so I can use it to judge others. But if I use it to judge that person, it's just a trick..."
The middle-aged monk was puzzled, "Didn't it mean that his sea of consciousness was shattered, his Dantian was destroyed, and his energy and blood were gone? Why is it still so troublesome?"
The skinny old man glanced at him and said, "Because he is an array master. He is an array master whose talent is almost demonic and his array techniques are almost perfect."
The middle-aged monk's eyes revealed deep fear, and he suddenly sighed:
"Then why did it end up in this situation?"
"Don't worry about it. It's best not to ask. You and I are not qualified to ask about this kind of thing.
The skinny old man said calmly, "We just need to do what we were told above."
The middle-aged monk sneered, "If you say so, and we can't figure out his whereabouts, won't we be unable to find him for the rest of our lives?"
"The lion still has time to nap."
"What's more, we are not the only ones chasing him."
"We can fish in troubled waters and we can't find him, but we can't let others find him."
After speaking, the old man turned back and told the young man in white next to him:
"Young Master, I didn't want to take you out at first, but your father said he wanted you to practice and practice, and you also wanted to come out and see the world, so I reluctantly took you with me."
"But, unless absolutely necessary, you must not take action."
"You must act more cautiously. Even if you plant a talisman of your destiny, don't take it lightly."
"It's too complicated and involves too many forces. I may not be able to protect you..."
The skinny old man made the matter very serious.
The purpose is not to let this young master do his duty, not to be too smart, and not to do anything out of the ordinary.
Otherwise, he might not be able to hold it back.
Then he felt regretful.
Why did I end up in such a mess?
This young master is twenty-three years old, in the early stage of foundation building, and is already a second-grade formation master. It can be said that he has a bright future.
If you don't treat it like a treasure and keep it at home, what kind of thing can you let it out to practice?
Cultivation is dangerous, is it so easy to experience?
It’s just a poor and casual cultivator. If you don’t travel and suffer a little, you won’t be able to eat in the future.
You, a child of a noble family, don't have to worry about food or cultivation. Wouldn't it be nice to stay peacefully in your wealthy home?
I have to go out and wade in this muddy water.
And he didn't know how deep the water was.
If something big happens, the Immortality Talisman may not be able to protect one's life.
When he thought of this, the skinny old man wanted to slap himself in the mouth.
He is also a mean-mouthed person.
The child's father poured him several jars of good wine, and he was so drunk that he agreed to the matter without any hesitation.
He regretted it as soon as he sobered up.
But it's too late to regret...
The young man in white didn't know what was going on, so he solemnly said:
"Don't worry, this junior will remember it.
The skinny old man looked at the blank boy and couldn't bear to say anything more, so he could only sigh.
The eyes of the young man in white showed a hint of determination.
The first reason he came here this time was to experience it and see what the monastic world outside the aristocratic family was like.
Another reason is that I want to meet the rumored Mr. Zhuang.
He is recognized as a formation genius in his family.
At such a young age, he is already a second-grade formation master.
He was also complacent, feeling that the formation was just like this, and that even if all the formation masters in the world were better than him, they were not much better.
Some high-quality formation masters are just older than him and have drawn more formations than him.
In time, he will far surpass them.
It wasn't until he accidentally saw Mr. Zhuang's formation handwriting in his early years and found out what Mr. Zhuang had done that he felt deeply his own insignificance and ignorance.
There is heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.
In this world, there are profound formations that he has never learned before, and there are also brilliant formation masters that he has never seen before.
The way of formation is broad and profound.
What he had learned before was just the tip of the iceberg.
What is hidden under the iceberg is the essence of the formation, and it is also the avenue contained in the formation.
The young man in white has devoted himself more to studying formations, and now he has become a second-level formation master at a young age.
He is also the youngest second-grade formation master in the family's eight hundred years.
He was somewhat grateful and admiring for Mr. Zhuang, and at the same time he became more and more curious.
He wanted to know how charming Mr. Zhuang was.
Is it just like the rumors say that he is extremely talented, arrogant, arrogant, and looks down upon all living beings?
I don’t know if I can talk to Mr. Zhuang...
The young man thought silently in his heart.
The skinny old man tossed the coins a few more times.
Still nothing figured out.
I just know roughly that that person has been here.
Why he came, what he did, and when he left, there was no clue.
There were no clues here, so the three of them left.
Suddenly the boy in white said "Hey".
The middle-aged monk heard this and asked:
"What's wrong?"
The young man in white pointed to the spiritual field in the distance and said, "There is a formation there."
The middle-aged monk frowned, "That's a spiritual field, and there are naturally formations in it..."
The boy in white shook his head, "It's different."
The middle-aged monk was slightly startled. He let go of his consciousness and sensed it for a moment, then gradually frowned.
There is indeed something different...
It's just a first-grade spiritual field, why is it so full of vitality?
This does not seem to be an effect that a first-grade formation can achieve...
The skinny old man also discovered the anomaly, but he was not proficient in the battle method, so he asked:
"what have you found?"
This young master is extremely talented in formations, and Mr. Zhuang is an formation master. Maybe he really discovered something.
The boy in white frowned and shook his head:
"I only know that the formation in this spiritual field is unusual, but I can't tell exactly why it is unusual. I need to spend some time to study it."
The middle-aged monk asked the old man: "Do we still have time?"
The old man said: "Whether we have time or not has nothing to do with us. It depends on the person's mood. If he is willing to give us time, we will have time. If he is not willing to give us time, then we will have no time."
The old man thought for a moment and then said:
"Since you want to study it, just study it. It doesn't matter these days anyway."
The boy in white looked happy, "Thank you, senior."
In the next few days, the three of them stayed in Qianjia Town.
The young man in white would go to the spiritual field when he had nothing to do. He wanted to know what formations were drawn in the spiritual field.
But several days passed and there was still no progress.
What is painted in the field is obviously a simple formation such as the Earth-nurturing Formation, but the entire spiritual field exudes a completely different vitality.
The young man was puzzled.
It wasn't until one day when he climbed a mountain and looked far away that he had a panoramic view of the entire spiritual field, and then he was suddenly shocked and enlightened.
This entire spiritual field turns out to be a formation!
The boy in white told the old man and the middle-aged monk about this.
Both of them were equally surprised.
The skinny old man nodded and said:
"Yes, this incredible formation does seem to be that person's handiwork."
The middle-aged monk asked the young man, "Do you know what formation this is?"
The young man shook his head.
"Isn't it a first-grade formation?" the middle-aged monk asked.
"It's the first grade."
The middle-aged monk was a little surprised, "You are a second-level formation master. Do you know any first-level formations?"
The young man said calmly: "This should be a first-class battle."
"The ultimate formation?" The middle-aged monk didn't understand at all, "Even if it's the ultimate formation, isn't it still only a first-class one?"
The boy in white shook his head and said, "It's different."
But he did not explain in detail.
For monks who are not formation masters, it is difficult to explain such unfamiliar things in formations.
"What should we do now?" the middle-aged monk asked again.
The skinny old man said: "This formation can prove that that person has indeed been here. We just need to keep looking."
Then he muttered in his heart:
"When you are being chased by so many people, you still have the time to draw a formation? It's really hard to figure out what a master does..."
The middle-aged monk was a little disappointed, "After searching for a long time, it's still the same as not finding it? What can a formation mean?"
The middle-aged monk brushed his sleeves and left.
The old man said to the young man in white:
"He has an impatient temper. Don't worry about it. Finding a perfect formation is already a big gain. Moreover, this is probably a formation that the man personally set up, which is even more extraordinary..."
"Write down the formation patterns carefully to make sure you don't make any mistakes, and then we'll set off again."
"Yeah." The boy in white nodded.
After that, he spent a day memorizing all the formation patterns in Lingtian, and then out of curiosity, he learned it himself.
But he found that after a while, he couldn't learn...
"I think this is Mr. Zhuang's handiwork..."
The boy in white sighed and put the matter aside for the time being.
The three of them set off the next day, leaving Qianjia Town, and continued searching in the direction pointed by the skinny old man based on the three copper coins he had easily counted.
The calculation of the copper coins by the Three Talents Yishu may not be accurate, but it is their only clue.
…
After the three people left, after a while, a strange-looking person came on the mountain road of Qianjia Town.
He wore a bamboo hat and covered his face.
There was no breath around him.
When he walked, his footprints were deep and shallow, like a person walking on stilts, not used to the bamboo poles under his feet.
Passersby looked at him, as if they didn't see him, as if he didn't exist at all.
This person walked along the mountain road, passed Qianjia Town, passed Dongshan Village, came to Lingtian, took off the bamboo hat on his head, and took off the raincoat on his body.
Revealing a Taoist dress.
At the same time, a strange breath came from him.
I'm a little tired, I want to be lazy and ask for a leave, but seeing that everyone voted for the monthly ticket, I feel embarrassed...
