Chapter 155 Array
The sky became darker and the night became darker and darker. Everything gradually blurred its outline. It retracted its blocked spiritual consciousness. Gu Xizhan raised his head, "I'll go up, you guys are careful."
After saying that, she stepped on the flying sword and walked towards the sky. Clusters of red maple were thrown behind her, forming an extremely strong background color. The higher she went up, the branches of the red maple became more sparse and thin. When she pushed away the last red leaf in front of her, the scenery in front of her suddenly became clear-
The red leaves of **** are continuous to the unknown distance. Under the whistling night wind, they are undulating like waves, less than the stars embedded in the ink-stained sky. The horizon in the distance still has a trace of whiteness, but the boundary of the maple forest has merged into the vast darkness.
There is no way out.
Gu Xizhan looked around and decided to go up a little further. She controlled the flying sword to raise the height, and the maple forest below became smaller and smaller until her spiritual sense could vaguely see half of the intermittent green mark in the distance.
At this moment, an inexplicable pressure appeared in the sky, and something sounded like a roar.
[boom--]
Just like a mountain pressing on the top, the force suddenly fell down. Gu Xizhan felt a burst of blood and his spiritual power was interrupted in an instant. After the fierce struggle, the flying sword finally lost its resistance, and his body inevitably planted towards the maple forest.
The exclamation from below was crushed by the sound of the wind, which seemed blurry and empty. She seemed to be pulled by something and could not get out of it. The female cultivator raised her neck and looked at the sky, and the bones around her made a crunch. She gritted her teeth, tried her best to twist her body, and stretched out her hand to the void in front of her.
Disordered airflows passed through the fingers, and time suddenly became infinitely long. While distracting thoughts were forgotten, the five senses became more sensitive. Suddenly, a trace of spiritual energy and the slightly cool night wind gently stroked her palm.
Gu Xizhan suddenly clasped his fingers and clenched the trace of spiritual energy firmly.
[Bang--]
The maple forest trembled suddenly, and narrow cracks appeared under the maple leaves. The female cultivator's palm was clearly empty, but it seemed to hold the void.
She just held her right hand in this empty hand and stood lightly at the top of the maple tree. Her face melted into the dusk, but the red maple at the bottom of her feet was like a raging fire, and the deep eyes were shining brightly between the black and red. She lowered her eyes, and her calm eyes seemed to be looking down high, which made everyone who looked up at her feel inexplicably awe.
............
He frowned secretly, Bai Wuyi was waving his heart for no reason. He looked at the person above and felt a little solemn.
He was able to capture spiritual energy that could affect one party and even interfere with its trajectory in just a few breaths. This person was much more dangerous than what he showed at the meeting.
Fortunately, they all made an oath.
Relaxed again, Bai Wuyi carefully hid the complexity in his eyes, then leaned against the maple tree and bent one leg, hugged his arm, and praised the female cultivator who returned to the ground again.
"I am worthy of being Fellow Daoist Gu, it's really amazing." After saying that, he slapped twice lazyly.
Hearing this, Xie Ke frowned and looked at him. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Gu Xizhan making a gesture invisibly before pursing his lips and retracting his gaze.
Still ignoring Bai Wuyi, Gu Xizhan summarized what he had just discovered, "There is a forbidden air above, and with my spiritual sense, I can't see a way out."
As for the spiritual energy just now... she moved her stiff right hand, and the cold numbness had not completely faded.
"Senior Sister Gu..." Just as she was thinking about how to explain, Ye Li said hesitantly: "I think this may be a formation."
Oh? Jiang Lin raised her eyebrows, she played with her hair with her fingers, and asked her with interest, "Do you know, what kind of formation is this?"
"I don't know." Shaking his head, the girl looked even hesitant, "but I might be able to try...find a way out."
As if afraid of hearing doubts and opposition, she quickly squatted down, picked up the maple branch that had been thrown down by Jiang Lin, cleared a piece of open space, and began to outline it.
"I found that the formation person did not seem to understand the formation. The entire formation was inverted, and the eight gates were confused. It seemed that after a random twist, it hit the great fortune and happened to form a formation..." A rough figure was drawn on the ground, and she circled the disharmonious place. "These are several conflicting array models. For some reason, they formed a subtle balance."
Formations with different functions have their own most fundamental structures. Formations with the same functions and different levels are extended on this basis. This is the basis of the formation - the formation model.
After combining different array molds, multiple formations can be laid, but how to combine them is a profound knowledge. Many people do not have the talent for formations because they cannot learn how to combine them.
Ye Li has good talent in formation, but at this time she felt that her cognition was impacted.
The completely irregular combination not only did not collapse the formation, but was extremely harmonious and stable. Why is this?
Thinking of this, she added hesitantly, "It may be that the seniors who set up the formation have too profound attainments..." She used an unusual method to set up this formation that was completely beyond her cognition.
A kind of elegance and harmony, a kind of disorder, she seemed to see another way...
Now is not the time to think about this. Shaking her head and retracting her divergent thinking, she ticked a few more strokes on the ground, "I can't calculate the entire formation, but the general trend is traceable. As long as I can calculate this part of the changes, I may find a way out."
Finally finished speaking, she looked up at Gu Xizhan nervously, but it was Jiang Lin who still answered, "So the formation, how sure are you?"
"Six...5,500."
[I am 50% sure I can pass the exam, or not.]
This joke appeared in his mind inappropriate way. Ye Li couldn't help laughing, but no one else could resonate with her. The few people exchanged their eyes with serious expressions. Jiang Lin wanted to ask again, but was stopped by Gu Xizhan.
She stretched out her right hand and spread her palm, and saw a wide and narrow red mark on her thumb, diagonally penetrated through the palm with a thin calluse. The skin around the red mark was pale.
After confirming that everyone saw it, she withdrew her hand, "It's indeed a formation, what I just grabbed was a piece of edge formation track."
"It's very strong, maybe it can't be broken."
It showed that it was not feasible to break the formation by force. Gu Xizhan looked at Ye Li's eyes and said, "Let's try it first."
Seeing the other party Zheng’s key point, she added, “There will always be a solution, don’t be too stressed.”
After saying that, she looked up at the sky that was completely dark and said to everyone: "Let's rest here tonight and find a place to stay."
Even Bai Wuyi raised any objections to this arrangement. After everyone exchanged contact information, they went to prepare separately.
............
Nodded to Yan Bai who stayed to look at Ye Li, Gu Xizhan's eyes stayed on the broken corner of the maple tree for a moment, then turned around without saying a word, and Xie Ke, who was the same as her, walked into the maple forest.
The palm of his right hand was still numb, and he pressed the red mark with his thumb, and Gu Xizhan covered the deep meaning between his eyebrows.
She still had a guess that she had not said, this formation...
