Chapter 255 Building the Formation
The atmosphere was still not very good all the way after that.
Gu Qingyin felt that after Huo Xingchen explained, not only her reputation, but also the reputation of her husband, her master, and even her son were affected?
Seeing that Huo Xingchen still wanted to say something, Gu Qingyin covered the child's mouth and smirked, "Be good, save your strength."
Huo Xingchen blinked, indicating that he understood.
The other people's expressions became more complicated when they saw this.
Dongfang Lingjun sighed and advised: "Qingyin, be kind to the child."
Gu Qingyin: ...Have you said all that you just said in vain?
Not only was it not explained clearly, it also had the opposite effect.
This road was just as Huo Xingchen said. After passing the Ghost King's territory, there was no big danger. The next half of the road was smooth and everyone arrived at their destination soon.
It is a small valley. There are no trees in the valley. They are all low shrubs. If you clean it up, it is very suitable for setting up an array.
"Let's take a rest first." Dongfang Lingjun sat on the stone and wiped the sweat from his face, but his eyes were constantly observing the surroundings.
Gu Ziqian rarely diligently stood at a high place and watched along.
The two communicated from time to time.
Gu Qingyin and Huo Xingchen were sitting together. While resting, they were also listening to the two chatting. Although they couldn't understand much, they pretended to sound like they were talking.
Huo Yunjing took the paper figures to find food. The supplies they brought were almost consumed in the game space, and they were not sure how long they would stay in the mountains. Now they were saving as much as they could.
Not long after, Huo Yunjing came back with two garlands in his hands. Behind him, the paper man was holding a pile of wild fruits without complaint.
Huo Yunjing walked up to Gu Qingyin and Huo Xingchen and handed over the wreath without saying a word.
Huo Xingchen was very surprised, "Thank you, uncle!"
Gu Qingyin was a little surprised, but she thanked her with a smile and took the wreath.
"Uncle Huo! Did you make this up yourself?" Huo Xingchen put on a garland and took out her phone to take pictures, very happy, "Can you teach me?"
Of course Huo Yunjing would not refuse. There were no good-looking flowers nearby, so he broke off two grasses instead. Anyway, the steps were the same.
Gu Qingyin didn't wear it. She was a little lost in thought while looking at the wreath. Does her husband also have this skill? When he comes over, be sure to ask him.
After eating and drinking for more than half an hour, everyone started to get down to business.
First determine the range of the formation, and then weed it.
We are all heavenly masters, and we all show off our special abilities when weeding.
Techniques, talismans, formations, paper figures... all go into battle! It was obviously a lot of work, but it was completed quickly and it was very clean.
Just in this area, no more grass will grow in the past two years.
After cleaning up the site, the sky darkened, and everyone started to set up camp again.
The original plan was for Zhang Qiuyan and Gu Qingyin and Huo Xingchen to live in a tent, but now that they know that Huo Xingchen is an adult man in his twenties, it is not suitable to live together.
Huo Xingchen was kicked out and went to live with Huo Yunjing. The remaining Gu Ziqian and Dongfang Lingjun lived in single tents.
Four tents formed a semicircle in the open space, a bonfire was lit in the middle, and the picnic began.
Barbecue and wild vegetable soup are essential. Dessert after the meal is wild fruits from the mountains. It is not delicious, but it is enough to fill your stomach.
After eating, everyone sat and chatted for a while, then went back to their tents to sleep. I have to start building the formation after getting up tomorrow, so there won't be that much rest time.
There was a defensive formation arranged by Zhang Qiuyan around the tent, so there was no need to worry about being attacked by wild beasts. After the bonfire was extinguished, the tents were also extinguished one by one. Under the night sky, only the paper man was left sitting alone outside.
The paper man sat motionless until the sky got slightly brighter, and then it suddenly started to move.
First, he carefully rekindled the bonfire, and then took the bucket to fetch water from the creek where Huo Yunjing took him to yesterday. After struggling to bring the water back, everyone in the tent had already come out.
The first person to see the paper man was Zhang Qiuyan. She exclaimed, "How did you end up like this?"
When Gu Qingyin heard the voice and looked back, she was also speechless.
The two hands of the paper man were black and white, obviously roasted by the fire. His legs and body were all wet. The fact that he was still standing was entirely due to his skeleton.
The paper man put down the bucket, raised his hand to scratch his head in embarrassment, and grabbed a scrap of paper.
Gu Qingyin sighed, "Here, I'll give you a touch-up."
The paper man walked over obediently, raised his hands and stood still.
Gu Qingyin muttered while supplementing, "You are paper, water, fire, etc. are all your natural enemies. Remember to stay away from each other in the future and don't get close casually. What if you didn't control the distance when you just lit the fire and you were caught on fire? What should I do? When I come out, you will be burned to ashes and you will not be able to fix it even if you want to!”
The paper man listened motionless.
"Okay." Repairing was much faster than re-doing. Gu Qingyin patted the paper man's head and said, "Stay away from the fire."
The paper man nodded, silently entered the tent, helped them pack their sleeping bags and luggage, and put away the tent after everyone had washed up.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Let's begin." Dongfang Lingjun looked serious and acted as a commander.
With Huo Yunjing as the core, the other four people guarded one of the four corners of the formation.
Huo Xingchen, accompanied by the paper man, watched from a distance.
The four people in the four corners began to carve the formation patterns at the same time, occasionally using talismans to assist.
In the open space, glowing lines shot out from the sides of several people, intertwined and connected with each other, and finally converged at the place where Huo Yunjing was.
The array pattern is very complicated. The sun rises from the east and sets from the west. The whole process is not yet completed.
Huo Xingchen sat on the big stone with a rice ball in his hands, watching and eating, muttering vaguely, "How long will it take?"
The paper man cannot speak, but he has a pen. When he hears words, he writes on his body to respond.
Huo Xingchen quickly stopped the person and handed him a small notebook, "Write here."
The paper man took it and wrote a beautiful line: If everything goes well, it will be finished tomorrow morning.
Huo Xingchen blinked, "What if it doesn't go well?"
The paper man continued to write: That depends on how smooth it is. But you'd better pray for everything to go well, otherwise we will have to stay in the mountains for a long time without eating well or sleeping well, which will affect our health.
Huo Xingchen was amused, "You know quite a lot."
The paper man did not respond.
The construction of the array pattern was smoother than they thought, and it was completely completed before dawn.
After working on it with concentration for almost a day and a night, when it was completed, several people's eyes showed a bit of exhaustion.
"Go ahead."
After only eating something and drinking a few mouthfuls of water, they returned to their respective positions and prepared to activate the formation.
"Success or failure depends on this." Dongfang Lingjun's voice was serious, "Don't be too impatient when injecting spiritual power, pay attention to balance."
Everyone had simulated it more than once, but they still nodded seriously after hearing the words, and injected spiritual power after Dongfang Lingjun gave the signal.
With the injection of spiritual power, the formation's light became more and more powerful, once covering up the morning glow on the horizon.
