Chapter 173: Do something big before leaving
At night, the waning moon hangs high in the sky and the wind is biting.
The clan-protecting formation within the Gongsun family was wide open, and the surrounding area was shrouded in a sky-high light curtain. The light pollution caused by the strong light brought by the formation directly blocked out the starlight in the nearby sky.
At this time, there was a solemn atmosphere deep in the cemetery, with two to three hundred people forming a circle.
The leaders are three golden elixir stage old men. Two of them have slightly similar faces. They both have crucian carp noses, thin lips, and short beards. They are the patriarch and elder of the Gongsun family. They are half brothers. , were also the two great talents of the Gongsun family three hundred years ago.
Later, they both entered the golden elixir stage and became the backbone of this cultivation family that has established itself in the cultivation world.
The other person is a peaceful old man in a soap robe. This person has tiger eyebrows, a high nose, piercing eyes, a majestic body, and a deep aura. It was the elder of the outer sect of Qianyun Pavilion who specially came to the Gongsun family to inspect the teleportation formation.
In the open space in front, after nearly two months of arrangement by hundreds of people from the Gongsun family, a complex and profound octagonal formation covering an area of one acre was erected. At this moment, driven by the treasure "Teleportation Stone" provided by Master Mang of Qianyun Pavilion, It was shaking the void slightly.
Seeing that the air around him felt twisted and void, it was steaming as if hot water was boiling. The gravel on the ground began to beat frequently, and dust gradually began to rise.
Most of the people present were not at peace, especially those from the Gongsun family, who were full of tension and uneasiness.
They didn't know how many righteous monks would be teleported from the other side, or whether they would be teleported and directly fall out, attack the Gongsun family, and then occupy the magpie's nest. Or perhaps the Gongsun family's strength exceeds that of the Gongsun family, forcing the Gongsun family to directly raise the flag in response to the rebellion, and act as pawns to fight against the devil.
Master Mang, on the other hand, was very excited. He had been looking forward to this day for a long time. After several months of running around in the eastern hinterland, hiding under the pursuit of the Demonic Joint Law Enforcement Detective Team, running around to stir up trouble, he successfully united with others to instigate dozens of eastern forces.
Now, he personally leads the teleportation formation of the Gongsun family in Shangdang County in the north, which is a great achievement!
At that time, the battle between good and evil was settled. He said that he would be able to earn enough qualifications due to this achievement to be promoted to the inner sect and become the deputy peak master of a certain peak. By then, he would also have the qualifications to establish a unified system.
Even if the internal competition pressure of Qianyun Pavilion is too great and he misses out on the position of Peak Master, the worst he can do is to be promoted to the head of a certain hall in the inner sect, which is also a good job!
At that time, everyone in his lineage will rise with him, and his disciples will have the opportunity to enter the inner sect, and he can also fight for more cultivation resources for his disciples.
Especially Qi Yatou, she has a good talent in cultivation. Her brother was originally the beloved disciple of the master of Qingyang Peak. After she enters the inner sect and trains her well, she might have the opportunity to enter the peak master's sight, so that this The powerful master recalled her brother Qi Zhong and fell in love with him.
Maybe I can follow suit and gain a foothold in Qingyang Peak, the inner gate.
As he thought about it, Master Mang showed an expectant smile on his face. At the same time, he looked back and wanted to give Qi Yatou a few words of encouragement, but found that this woman was missing.
"This girl is really irritable. She is still running around at such a critical time tonight. It seems that her temperament is still not calm enough. She needs to be tempered more, otherwise it will be difficult for her to enter the peak master's eyes."
Master Mang was thinking secretly while paying close attention to the final debugging of the teleportation array. This was the top priority of his mission and he could not be careless in the slightest. Qi Yatou's matter can only be put aside for the time being, and I will find time to mention her in the future.
He was thinking about a bright future here, but he didn't know that the qualifications for promotion in his heart had been stolen long ago, and the instigator sneakily crawled out of the underground passage.
……
A cloud slowly floated back to the foreign guests' attic from the forbidden area in the back mountain. Lin Shan activated the concealment of the descending cloud flag and the phantom cloud inscription, and ran out without any danger.
Even though it was already late at night, disciples from the Gongsun family all along the way were still standing guard and guarding tightly. The more critical the moment, the more afraid of an accident.
Fortunately, with Lin Shan's foundation-building cultivation and high-level magic concealment weapon, it would not be a big problem to hide it from ordinary monks.
In the attic, the outside world seemed dark at this time, but in fact the interior was brightly lit. The Black Skull Demon Lord, the formation master, had placed layers of restrictions to cover up their actions and paralyze the clan members of the Gongsun Family who were monitoring them.
When Lin Shan came back, he saw more than twenty of them gathered in a circle, anxious like ants on a hot pot.
"More than half of this time has passed, and the boss hasn't come back yet!"
"It's over, it's over, there must be something big going on outside!"
"Now the entire Gongsun family is under martial law, and we can't even take a step towards the attic door."
"Could it be that the righteous army has already come to kill them?"
……
Humanity's fear comes from the unknown. After cutting off contact with the outside world, people's eyes are darkened and they are at a loss. No wonder these people are so anxious.
However, once there is a backbone to stand up at this time, everyone will have the idea that "if the sky falls, there will be a tall man to hold it up", and their hearts will be half calm in an instant.
"Squeak~"
The attic door was pushed open, the howling cold wind from the outside blew in, and a familiar figure strode back.
All the younger brothers were overjoyed. They all tried their best to flatter me and began to flatter me. They fell out of favor faster than turning the pages of a book.
"Ouch~ Sir Messenger, you are back from practicing, we were still talking about you just now!"
"Boss, this trip has gone smoothly? Why not continue to consolidate your realm in the earth line, and there are juniors above to help you keep an eye on things, so that nothing goes wrong."
"Sir, you really take good care of your subordinates. You really don't need to leave the seclusion early. You should focus on your own strength. We can still survive a day or two up there~"
"With you as the pinnacle of Dinghai here, the Gongsun family will surely sway their tail and treat us as honored guests again!"
……
Lin Shan accepted the Jiangyun Banner without being polite to them because he knew very well that these people didn't know as much as he did.
If he hadn't met the woman in a bamboo hat before coming out, he might have been kept in the dark. He just thought that the situation on the front line was complicated and confusing, and the Gongsun family temporarily placed them under house arrest to prepare for hedging their bets.
So maybe after he comes out, he will quietly inquire about the situation before taking action.
However, after a round of "threats" from the woman in a bamboo hat, she learned that the front line was about to launch a general offensive, and the Gongsun family had already rebelled. They even built a teleportation formation without saying a word, and tonight they would start to parachute troops in cooperation with others. Got it!
Who can sit here?
Immediately, he quickly shared all the news with the Black Skeleton Demon Lord. As for the other brothers, they were just listening. Their role was limited at the real critical moment. The Black Skeleton Demon Lord was now in the middle stage of foundation building, so he had the ability to really help him.
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord did not have any overreaction. The soul fire burned in the black eyes, as if he was detecting something.
After a while, when Lin Shan finished explaining what he knew, it nodded slowly.
"So that's it. Why did I sense that the spiritual energy near the Gongsun family was so disordered tonight? I think it was because of the debugging of the teleportation array, which disrupted the flow of vitality for dozens of miles around. It seems that what the little girl said is true. .”
It is a creature in the Nascent Soul stage and has a unique method of controlling the vitality of heaven and earth. Although it has not recovered its full strength, it can still use clues to deduce the information Lin Shan said, and combine it with its own judgment to confirm the truth of the woman in the hat's last words before she died. False.
"Then let's run away tonight before they react!"
Lin Shan didn't do ink, and felt that tonight was just the right time. The senior officials of the Gongsun family gathered on the other side and were accompanying the visiting Jindan master to inspect the teleportation formation. This group of people could just sneak away secretly.
"It's not that simple. The Gongsun family's clan-protecting formation was obviously made by a formation master, and its level is not much worse than mine. What's more, now that the formation is activated in advance, most of the hidden tricks we deployed before have been destroyed. Now at most It can only stop its operation for nearly ten seconds.”
The Black Skull Demon Lord tapped his bone claws on the table and began to deduce in his mind.
Lin Shan did not dare to disturb its thinking too much, but cautiously asked: "Can you do it during the ten breaths?"
"70%! I'm only 70% sure!" The Black Skeleton Demon Lord stood up and walked around.
"The Gongsun family's family-protecting formation is in its prime, and there is no hidden danger of being vandalized or in disrepair. The secret hand left hastily before can buy ten breaths of time. I can use this time as a seesaw at most, and once again Spend ten breaths to open a narrow channel that lasts five breaths.”
"That is to say, it will take us a full twenty-five breaths to evacuate, and during this period I cannot be disturbed in any way!"
"The moment the clan protection formation stops, the Gongsun family will definitely notice something unusual and will definitely come to prevent us from escaping, so you must find a way to get twenty-five breaths for me to stop the monks from the Gongsun family!"
Although the Black Skeleton Demon Lord is empty and has no brain, the soul fire in his skull is burning more and more intensely. It is obviously the most critical moment for calculation.
"According to the speed of the golden elixir stage monks, the teleportation formation is only five miles away from here. This time is enough for them to arrive."
"When they discover something is wrong, they will search everywhere to locate the source of the anomaly, or they may notice that the attic is empty and come to interfere with us breaking the formation."
"If we can't stop it, then all of us will be forced to stay and become turtles in the urn!"
Lin Shan was so shaken after hearing this that he almost lost his tongue:
"You mean, you want me to help you stop the Golden Core Stage monks?"
The Black Skull Demon Lord clapped his fingers and reluctantly gave a calculated limit.
"Five breaths, you only need to help me intercept the five breaths of time, and we can almost all escape. After we get out, I can briefly tamper with the nature of the formation, turning the Gongsun family's clan-protecting formation into a trapping formation, and trap them in it. About a quarter of an hour inside.
When the time comes, I will use the secret method to erase everyone's aura, and I will be able to escape. ”
"Five breaths!"
Lin Shan couldn't help but feel cold all over. One breath was equivalent to about 3 seconds in his previous life.
Five breaths is 15 seconds!
He was in the middle stage of foundation building, trying to block the golden elixir stage real person's five-breath time. What was the difference between this and dying?
If someone throws a magic weapon at random, he can't stop it at all.
Not to mention that he couldn't use the Wind Escape Talisman to hide, so he had to defend passively in front of him, buying time for the Black Skeleton Demon Lord to break through the formation.
"Impossible! Not to mention five breaths, I can't stop you even with one breath. High-level magic weapons are like paper in front of magic weapons. What can I do to stop them?"
"If we can't stop it, everyone will die." The Black Skeleton Demon Lord said solemnly and sat back on the chair. Lin Shan couldn't help but look at it suspiciously. This guy was actually a big shot at the Nascent Soul Stage. Even if he wasn't a son of luck like Lin Fan, he probably had some means of temporarily resisting the Five Breaths of a Golden Core Stage monk, right?
Shouldn't this be revealed to him?
But the Black Skeleton Demon Lord said that it was completely useless in this world and had no such trump cards that could surpass the level.
But what made people feel wrong was that not only did it not show any urgency, but the old god drank the tea freely, dripping from the bottom while drinking, as if he was not panic at all, and gestured frequently to Lin Shan's storage bracelet. .
Lin Shan was a little confused when he saw it like this. It took him a long time to understand its meaning. He didn't mean to drink with it, but his real intention was the virtual star chart, and he wanted to lend it to it to help it break the formation.
With the powerful deduction effect of the innate spiritual treasure of the virtual star disk, it may not take twenty-five breaths to break the formation, and it is possible to shorten the time by half!
This is indeed a good way to break the current situation,
But Lin Shan hesitated.
That's right, he couldn't trust the Black Skeleton Demon Lord.
The only one he believes in in this world is himself.
You must know that the two rely only on a silver contract as a bond, and apart from the contract mark on each other's souls, there are no conditions that can bind their actions.
What if I was on the lookout in front and this guy was holding his innate spiritual treasure from behind, opened the formation and fled directly. Where would I find him in the chaos?
As for what's weird? Close contact? Are the two tied together and both will suffer?
joke! In front of the innate spiritual treasure, all these are just farts!
Wait until this guy recovers to the golden elixir level outside, forcibly cancel the soul contract, and take the innate spiritual treasure that he spent a huge amount of ancient charm to strengthen, and be more ruthless and let go of this clone, and take the treasure back to hell. In the fifth world, even if the true immortal comes, don’t let him vomit it out!
Lin Shan knew very well the nature of this skeleton, and everything was aligned with interests.
When he was in seclusion in the East China Sea, he used the sapling of the ancient phantom tree as a test. Unexpectedly, the old boy could sit still and did not escape by rolling up the tree. The two of them had barely regained trust.
But the innate spiritual treasure is no better than the ancient phantom tree sapling. The difference in value between the two is too big. No one dares to gamble on human nature with this.
What's more, this guy is not a human at all!
At this time, Lin Shan suddenly thought of another level. Xu Xingpanji Ling Xiaoxin also knew the formation, and was even a formation master. He was more accomplished than the Black Skull Demon Lord, a formation master. Maybe he could not be constrained by him?
Seeing Lin Shan's uncertain expression, the Black Skull Demon Lord seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and pulled out the plan he had already prepared, and coughed twice uneasily:
"The hidden hands left on the Gongsun family's clan-protecting formation are all my own unique techniques. Except for me, no one else can activate them."
"Haha."
Lin Shan sneered and watched quietly as it performed the skeleton drinking tea.
At this time, the Black Skull Demon Lord was still holding the tea cup to cover up his embarrassment, and he was still saying "click, click, click" earnestly hinting that he hoped he could lend him the virtual star disk.
"Brother, you are good at everything. The only shortcoming is that you are like a miser. You must know that if you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of running out of firewood. When we were in the windy sea, I asked you whether you wanted money or your life. At that time, you were very Wanting money, guarding a pile of formation materials and refusing to retreat"
"The result is that you cheated me of a high-level magic weapon, the Bone Flag!" Lin Shan's face turned evil when he thought of this, but he didn't expect it to have the nerve to mention this.
"Ahem." The Black Skeleton Demon Lord coughed twice, realizing that he had stepped into a minefield, and began to change questions.
"It's not important. You still have a short-sighted problem. The last time I went to the Dirty Poison Grand Canyon, I advised you to help me regain my strength as soon as possible, but you kept suppressing me. In the end, the Dirty Poison Grand Canyon was in danger of overturning. Qi Zhong, the true disciple of Yunge, almost let him escape"
"The result is that you formed a skeleton artillery regiment without permission!" Lin Shan's face became even more ugly, realizing that this guy always wanted to set up his own business and secretly armed his strength behind his back.
"Ahem, that's not important." The Black Skeleton Demon Lord felt slightly embarrassed and unconsciously turned his head away, so he had to change the topic again.
"You forgot about that Demonic Guild trial. I helped you cover the ancient tree saplings in your storage bracelet. Without me, you almost exposed your worth. I am thinking about you all the time!"
< br>
"In the end, you took the opportunity to force me to give up the investigation and you privately returned to the foundation building stage!" Lin Shan felt more and more unreliable that this guy was unreliable. When he thought of it breaking the agreement between the two and quietly crossing the red line, he couldn't help but feel itching with hatred.
"Ahem, that's not important." The Black Skull Demon Lord found that the more he spoke, the more contrary to his original intention he had to continue to change the subject.
"Later, when I returned to the East China Sea from the front line, I helped you solve the mission objectives given by the real master, so that you could successfully complete the commission without any effort. Is this finally a service to you that I tried my best to assist you?"
"The result is that the three-headed hellhounds from the third world of hell were forcibly driven back by you before they even arrived!"
Lin Shan became increasingly angry, and finally managed to avoid summoning something weird. A normal summoned creature appeared, and he might become his new right-hand man. However, being disturbed by this skeleton, he offended another big boss in the third world of hell.
"Ahem, that's not important." The Black Skeleton Demon Lord couldn't help but his voice became weak and weak. He felt that every time he did it, he seemed to be not very authentic, and he had tricked Linshan into pieces here and there. It was no wonder that others didn't trust him.
But it still sat upright.
"Brother, today is different from the past. We are trapped in the Gongsun family and are about to become lambs to be slaughtered. This is a critical moment for our survival!"
"You also know that our life is at stake, so you still set a trap for me to get out of?"
"No, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope now. Why should we divide a mere treasure between you and me?"
"Ah, yes, yes, what's mine is yours, and what's yours is still yours, is that what you mean?"
"Yes, I am very pleased that you have such an awareness. No, what I mean is that things are urgent and we should not get entangled in these minutiae."
"So you plan to trick someone big this time?"
"What words! What words are these? Why do you always insult my noble personality with your suspicious eyes?"
"Ah! You are a skeleton and you are telling me nonsense about your personality. I have long seen that you are not a good person!"
The two were quarreling, old and new hatreds came out, and they wanted to jump up and fight.
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord was not only in the wrong, but also had a ulterior motive in his heart. His eyes were dark and soul fire flickered, and he was hesitating and unable to argue.
Most of the boys next to me were confused. They knew something about the "Storm Sea Area" and "Skeleton Artillery Regiment", but they didn't know what the "ancient tree seedlings" and "the master's real entrustment" were.
More importantly, both of them seemed to be talking about an unknown treasure, which seemed to be the key to cracking the Gongsun family formation. However, the messenger could not trust the Black Skeleton Demon Lord, so the internal negotiations reached a deadlock.
Lin Shan and the Black Skull Demon Lord were arguing and arguing, but treasures such as the Lingbao Void Star Plate were naturally impossible to talk about in front of others. Even if they were all present, there were some things that should be covered up. .
In the end, Lin Shan was finally convinced through a series of tests that the Black Skeleton Demon Lord definitely had plans to cheat his treasure, and now time was running out and there was no room for internal strife.
If you bypass it and just use the Void Star Disk to break the formation, because you don't know the formation, Qi Ling Xiaoxin will have to come out to break the formation personally. The secret of Lingbao will be made public, and not only the people under his command will find out. , people from the Gongsun family might also find out.
At that time, if the secret that I was carrying a spiritual treasure in the Foundation Establishment Stage was spread to the outside, people in the Nascent Soul Stage might smell it and come to kill me!
But it would be even worse if the virtual star disk was lent to the Black Skeleton Demon Lord as a tool to break the formation.
If you use it yourself, there is only a risk of exposure. If you use it on it, you may be beaten by a meat bun, and there will be no return.
Lin Shan's face changed for a while. He had no choice but to make a choice after thinking about it. He pointed at the bridge of the Black Skeleton Demon Lord's nose and said harshly:
"Forget about borrowing treasures, let's go back to the original discussion! You break the formation, and I'll buy time for you!"
The Black House Demon Lord was deceived by this move: "That golden elixir monk from the Gongsun family"
"Isn't it just to fight for five breaths of time? Five breaths is five breaths, I will block it for you!"
Lin Shan gritted his teeth and warned it for the last time: "Don't play any tricks on me this time, or we will break up!"
After hearing this, the Black Skeleton Demon Lord suddenly stood up, unable to conceal his surprise.
It is impossible for two people to fall apart in one fell swoop. Before the innate spirit treasure can be obtained, it will naturally refuse to leave the forest mountain even if it is beaten to death.
But the question is, what other trump cards does this kid have? Can he really withstand the five-breath time of a Golden Core Stage monk?
"Are you kidding me? If you slip up at the critical moment, all of us will be finished!"
Lin Shan twitched the corner of his mouth and revealed a "Lin Fan's signature" wild and evil smile. I have to say that this smile was really awesome, and it was very pretentious when people from the old Lin family used it.
All the younger brothers were shocked when they saw it. It was the first time they saw the messenger being so "crazy"! Does the boss really have any super trump cards that he has never used before?
"The small magical power Talisman, which is comparable to the full-strength attack of Dzogchen in the later stage of Jindan, is still a ranged group attack magical power. If it is detonated directly on the heads of the Gongsun family, do you think we can gain five breaths of time?"
Lin Shan's gloomy words came, and a green light shone in his eyes, as if he was a gambler who was desperate to survive and made an extremely difficult decision. A cold wind blew in the room for no reason.
Everyone shuddered suddenly. After hearing this exciting news, their calves began to tremble uncontrollably, and their temples jumped out.
Dzogchen in the later stage of the golden elixir. It also has group-wide attacks. Small magical powers, talismans and seals?
I didn’t expect that the boss would hide it so deeply and have such a trump card. My dear, you should have told me if you had such a thing!
Who here does not know the intimidating power of the Great Perfection in the later stage of Jindan, which is equivalent to the Turtle Master in the heyday of the East China Sea. Such figures have been powerful in the East China Sea for hundreds of years, and countless sects and aristocratic families have come to visit from all directions.
Later, in the battle on Diaolie Island, he defeated three golden elixir masters from the Demonic Dao Sect and escaped without a trace. Later, he was chased by more than a dozen masters of the Golden elixir stage of the Demonic Dao for more than three years, but he was still alive and well and escaped repeatedly.
This is the gold content of the Golden Elixir Dzogchen!
Now that the Lord Messenger has the full blow of such a person in his hand, isn't this wave stable? Not to mention resisting the five breaths, if you throw this thing over when no one is paying attention, you will have to shed a layer of skin even if you are not dead in the golden elixir stage!
Just
Do you want to play this big?
Throwing away the talisman of your group's attack is a great feeling. We have escaped, but the aftermath remains in the formation. Once it spreads wildly, it will cause huge property losses.
I'm afraid the Lord of Suffering will have to chase you to the ends of the earth.
At this moment, everyone no longer worried about their own safety, but felt sorry for the owner of this place.
How many lifetimes of bad luck has the Gongsun family had to face, and you are such a disaster?
