Chapter 2 Chixia Formation
The bright moon hangs high.
There is a small attic upstairs in the miscellaneous library filled with ancient scrolls and various books.
Before Kongji came, this area was used to accumulate debris.
Two years ago, he packed it up and used it as a residence. There was nothing but a simple bed.
This is also the reason why his face is so pale. He has hardly been out of the library in the past two years.
The bright white moonlight shines into the attic through the wide open window, and it shines just on the side of Kong Ji's face as he sits cross-legged on the bed.
Because he was rarely exposed to sunlight, his face, which was already pale, became even more sickly and pale when illuminated by the moonlight.
Kong Jiang is doing what he has never failed to do in two years.
Practice!
The traces of spiritual energy visible to the naked eye floated out of the dark night, drawn by his technique.
Then it was divided into two, drilling into the Yongquan point on his feet and the Tianchi point on his chest.
These two acupuncture points are the two of the nine spiritual orifices located on the feet and chest.
After refining through the Jiangshuang Yanglun Sutra, the strands of spiritual energy finally turned into azure blue spiritual power and flowed into his Dantian.
Consciousness sank into Kong Ji’s body.
The end point where the spiritual power can be seen is a dark spiritual wheel in the center of the Dantian.
Nourished by the azure blue spiritual power, the spirit wheel revealed a slight blue halo.
The purpose of nourishing the wheel realm is to nourish the round spiritual wheel in the body, making it as round as jade and able to carry the true energy, so that it can break through to the next realm.
The Jiangshuang Yanglun Sutra is very suitable for practicing at night.
Compared to the daytime, the spiritual power that the Jiangshuang Yanglun Sutra can absorb is about two to three tenths faster.
Especially on a night like this with the bright moon.
The moonlight is like frost, which is vaguely consistent with the word "jiangshuang" in the Jiangshuang Yanglun Sutra.
Kong Jin was able to cultivate to the third level of Yanglun in two years. In addition to the fact that the technique itself is highly consistent with him, it is also inseparable from the above cultivation blessings.
The process of cultivation is comfortable.
When the spiritual power refined by the Jiangshuang Yanglun Sutra flows through the meridians of the body, it feels strangely cool.
The blood flow all over the body seemed to slow down, making Kong Ji's heart calm as if water had stopped.
In the past, he would practice all night.
However, today it was destined that he would not be able to spend the entire night peacefully.
Because of the agreement he made with Shangguan Yuzhou during the day, Kong Jiang opened his eyes halfway through practicing tonight.
"Huh!" He let out a long breath of white breath.
The breath had extremely cold characteristics, and it was bitingly cold wherever it passed. It finally landed on an already dilapidated wall area of the attic, directly coating it with a layer of hoarfrost.
Even the temperature in the attic has dropped slightly.
"Cultivation is getting slower and slower! At this rate, it will take at least a year to break through to the fourth realm of Yanglun." Kong Ji got off the bed and moved his hands and feet, looking ahead and being frozen by the cold air. A layer of white frost on the wall, with a helpless expression.
He is already so slow. Those disciples who only have two spiritual apertures are probably even slower.
It is difficult to catch up with the genius of Shangguan Yuzhou!
But Kong Jiang has something that Shangguan Yuzhou does not have.
He has a moiré tablet that can capture fortune.
"I hope that the opportunity I get tonight will not disappoint me. I have been waiting for two years." When he thought of this, Kong Jiang's eyes brightened.
If he had doubts about the Moiré Monument before, today's experience made all his doubts of the past two years dissipate.
The moiré stele is truly a sacred object.
Kong Ji is not good at luck, so it is even more difficult for him to hit the opportunity.
The moiré monument is a different approach, which is equivalent to allowing Kong Ji to rely on Shangguan Yuzhou's luck and gain opportunities.
"If I can get the chance this time, I can get another five chance points. It will take my luck to the next level."
"Relying on their luck will eventually It’s not a long-term solution. Sooner or later, I will be able to get my own opportunity with my own strength.”
As he spoke, Kong Zhi narrowed his eyes and began to analyze the information obtained from Shangguan Yuzhou.
The place we are going to tonight is a crypt.
The crypt passage was blocked by a formation. He and Shangguan Yuzhou were going to break the formation tonight.
The reason why Shangguan Yuzhou found Kong Ji seems to be because Kong Ji’s cold breath technique is helpful in breaking the formation.
“My Cold Breath Technique has a restraining effect on fire-moving Taoism. That formation is probably based on fire.” Kong Zhi roughly analyzed the situation of that formation in just a few sentences. .
Then he went under the bed and took out a big black gourd.
It is almost as high as the waist of Kong Ji, and has a rounded bottom.
When he was picked up by Kong Ji, there was an obvious rippling sound of water inside.
Just such a gourd can hold at least hundreds of kilograms of water.
But Kong Ji easily picked him up and tied him behind his back.
"Well, apart from being ugly, there are no shortcomings." After doing all this, Kong Jiang nodded with satisfaction.
The gourd is filled with just ordinary mountain spring water.
A gourd is just an ordinary gourd.
The reason why it is so big is entirely because there is abundant spiritual energy in Cangwu Sect, and the wild gourds growing on the mountain are also surprisingly large.
When Kong Xian practiced water diversion a year ago, he went to the mountains to pick out the largest one in case of emergency.
Now Kong Ji only knows two Taoist methods.
A cold breath technique that comes with the frost-dropping cold breath technique.
A water diversion trick.
The Water Diversion Technique was specially practiced by him for the Cold Breath Technique. The two spells worked together to produce unexpected power.
Finish it all.
Cough!
There was a light cough at the right time outside the Zashu Building.
In the dead of night, the slightest sound is particularly clear to Kong Chi.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then he jumped lightly from the open window of the attic.
The body passed over the nearly two-foot-high attic in the moonlight, and then landed steadily.
He looked towards the door of the Zashu Building, where Shangguan Yuzhou's figure suddenly appeared.
The two looked at each other and smiled. No need to say anything. Shangguan Yuzhou nodded and took the lead and escaped into the night.
Kong Ji followed quietly.
Half an hour later.
In the darkness of the mountain forest where the moonlight cannot shine.
Two figures, one in front and one behind, passed through the darkness like ghosts.
When Shangguan Yuzhou first started on his way, he looked back from time to time, fearing that he might lose track of Kong Ji, who was carrying a big gourd on his back.
The latter bit firmly behind him. Shangguan Yuzhou nodded secretly at this scene.
"I heard that Junior Brother Kong Ji only has two spiritual apertures, but both his cultivation speed and strength are far beyond this talent. It seems that the information is wrong." Shangguan Yuzhou secretly said think.
As for the gourd Kong Ji was carrying, he didn’t ask much.
The two of them have gotten along well over the years and have developed a very good understanding.
Kong Jin didn't know what Shangguan Yuzhou was thinking. He was actually struggling to follow, and his clothes were almost soaked with sweat.
After all, the water in this gourd weighs more than a hundred kilograms. Carrying it with flying speed is too much even for the third level of nourishing the wheel.
But he can't show it.
Especially when two people are going to cooperate, the strength they show must not be too weak.
Not bad.
They are not far from their destination.
Not long after, Shangguan Yuzhou stopped at a rocky place.
After Shangguan Yuzhou stopped for a moment to identify the direction, the two of them walked to the overlap of two huge rocks on the northeast edge of the rocky field.
At the junction of the two stones, there is only a gap that can only accommodate a small child.
Kong Xian and Shangguan Yuzhou were absolutely unable to pass due to their stature.
Shangguan Yuzhou acted particularly calmly.
He crashed straight into the gap.
“A blind trick?” Kong Ji’s eyes were slightly startled, and then he seemed to understand something and followed him with a gourd on his back.
The two of them had to bump into two rocks if they wanted to watch.
The gap quickly widened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and was actually able to accommodate two people walking through.
As Kong Ji stepped into the gap, he looked back at the entrance that had returned to its original state, and said in a low voice: "It doesn't look like a blindfold, it should be a simple formation modified based on a certain illusion formation. "
"Well, the guy who arranged this formation is not very advanced, but his understanding of the formation is indeed outstanding." Shangguan Yuzhou rarely praised others.
During a simple exchange, the two gradually went deeper into the crypt.
The passage leads diagonally underground.
The further inside he went, the colder the underground temperature became.
Fortunately, the skills he practices are not resistant to this environment, and he even enjoys it.
Suddenly.
Shangguan Yuzhou, who was leading the way, stopped and made a stop gesture.
Kong Ji immediately stopped.
"If you take one step forward, you will enter the attack range of that formation." In the darkness, Kong Xian couldn't see Shangguan Yuzhou's expression clearly, and could only vaguely see an outline.
But listening to his voice, Kong Jiang thought that he should have a serious face.
The next moment, Kong Jiang saw Shangguan Yuzhou reach into his arms and take out something from his arms.
It was a luminous pearl, its soft light illuminated the inner passage of the cave.
Reveals the environment of this crypt.
The surrounding passages are full of uneven rock surfaces, with pits and pits that look like they were dug by humans.
The ground and rock wall less than two feet in front of them clearly showed signs of being burned by the flames, showing a charred black color.
"It is indeed a fire formation!" Seeing this, Kong Jiang nodded secretly. The situation here was as he had guessed.
“To be honest, Junior Brother Kong Ji, I have tried to break into the formation twice.”
With the light, Kong Ji could see Shangguan Yuzhou’s expression clearly showing a wry smile when he said this. .
"Although the people who set up the formation are not very skilled, the formation is really powerful. I can't take this opportunity alone."
As he spoke, he shrugged his shoulders.
“But I don’t dare to go to those senior brothers who have high cultivation level. After all, you know. Even the outer sect has those dirty things. Who knows if others will kill them here.”
"I don't have many friends in the outer sect, and I like to fight, so I don't have many friends. I only have you, Junior Brother Kong Ji."
Shangguan Yuzhou's statement coincides with Kong Ji's reasoning.
His own cultivation is far inferior to his, so he doesn't have to worry about taking action against him.
To be honest, the person who should really be worried about now is Kong Jiang.
Shangguan Yuzhou had also thought of this a long time ago, and immediately added with a serious face: "When Junior Brother Kong Ji agreed to come with me, I was quite touched. After all, trust is something like this among us. These outer disciples are very luxurious. Thank you for trusting me."
"I won't take advantage of you. After breaking the formation, we will share the contents equally."
Kong Xian smiled. He smiled, and could hear the implication of Shangguan Yuzhou's words, and immediately said in a calm tone: "What should I do."
Just kidding, he has been waiting for this opportunity for two years, there is no reason why it won't come. .
Besides, if you want to practice in this world, you will have to work together sooner or later. You will never be able to cope with all situations with your own strength.
Kong Chi knew this well, so he took the risk.
If he doesn't even dare to cooperate with Shangguan Yuzhou, his senior brother who has been with him for two years, then he may not be able to cooperate with others, and those opportunities in the future will probably be missed.
Of course, another point is Kong Jiang’s confidence in his own strength.
He dare not say that he can defeat Shangguan Yuzhou, but there is absolutely no problem in escaping.
Confucius touched the black gourd behind him with his palm without trace. He looked calm. He had not been idle in the Zashu Building in the past two years.
“The formation in front of me is called Chixia Formation. Once the formation is triggered, fire power will burst out from the Xun position and the off position.”
Shangguan Yuzhou wanted to break the formation in front of him. , obviously a lot of hard work was put into it.
Extremely detailed information about this formation.
Then he also added his ideas for breaking the formation.
"I will rush in later, and Junior Brother Kong Ji will just follow me."
"I cannot resist the fire energy from two directions at the same time. I hope that Junior Brother Kong Ji will If you can use the Cold Breath Technique to resist the Xun position's attack for me, it won't take long. In five breaths, I can find the center of this formation."
After saying this, Shangguan Yuzhou held his hand. , with a confident attitude.
“I have figured out the formation’s eye of the Chixia Formation. If I destroy the formation’s eye, the Chixia Formation will be self-defeating without attacking.”
Listening to Shangguan Yuzhou's plan, Kong Jiang nodded silently.
This is the attitude you should have when seizing opportunities.
Kong Chi is not too worried about being asked to resist the five-breath time.
The Chixia Formation is only one of the most basic formations in the Yanglun Realm. My own Cold Breath Technique has a miraculous effect on resisting the Chixia Formation.
With the help of my own water diversion technique, I believe it won’t be a big problem.
After thinking about this, Kong Jin nodded seriously and said, "Leave the Xun position to me. Brother Shangguan, rest assured that we can break the formation."
"Haha! Okay! Get ready, I want to enter the formation. "Yes." Shangguan Yuzhou laughed with a bold attitude.
While laughing, he had already stepped into the formation.
