who knows

"Qing, brother, how are you doing? Is there anything wrong? Let me see! Come on, let me see..." The first one to rush over was naturally Ying Xi, who was always paying attention to Zhong Liqing. The crying voice made Zhong Liqing's heart ache, thinking of the fear that he almost lost his life just now, his eyes turned red.

Fortunately, she remembered the current occasion after all, and she also remembered that she was a young monk, and she must not show the slightest weakness in front of these people, so she quickly adjusted her face, smiled gently at Ying Xi, and patted With her head, she hugged her waist and ribs tightly, and gently parted the arm that was almost broken, and comforted softly: "I'm fine."

When Ying Xi was still thinking about checking her body, she avoided her touch without a trace, turned around and apologized loudly to the chief examiner who came over to inquire about the situation: "The student is rude. It disturbed the sir and affected the assessment. Please forgive me sir."

"Well, it doesn't matter." The examiner scratched the back of his head dullly, and it took him a long time to hold back such a sentence.

"It's fine, everyone else, let's continue." Mr. Qu, who was also here to maintain order, glanced at Zhong Liqing, seeing that she was indeed fine, so he smiled back and pulled the other people who were still planning to watch the fun away. Now, considerately leave time for the two who need to greet each other.

"Love..." Ying Xi wanted to say more, but was stared back by Zhong Liqing, so she could only reply dully, "Brother, Xi'er is just worried about you."

Seeing helplessness from her, Zhong Liqing pursed her lips unnaturally, and a little helplessly annoyed, waved her hands, avoiding her gaze, and answered in a low voice, but it was more like telling herself: "I'm fine... I dare not die if I have not reported my revenge."

Although her voice was low, she still taught Ying Xi to hear the truth, and she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart because of what she said: "What's going on? Is it that beast? Or is someone plotting against you?" His expression darkened, and the redness in his eyes was looming.

——This girl is really sharp.

Zhong Liqing didn't want to doubt it, but Ying Xi's performance made people think deeply.

"Xi'er, this is the end of this matter, don't ask any more questions." In the end, Zhong Liqing just instructed lightly in this way, neither willing to explain nor to look at Ying Xi again, so she missed the smudge on Ying Xi's face. sad color.

Maybe she noticed, but just... didn't want to know.

Because of that accident, being able to barely shoot that arrow was all due to luck, and the results of the riding and archery test in the end were naturally not satisfactory, but for Zhong Liqing, it was a blessing in misfortune to get his life back by luck.

Even at that critical moment, she realized a way to save her life - let's call it "teleportation".

It was really only in an instant that Zhong Liqing moved from the original position to another position. Although the distance between the two places was only one body, it could be said that they could be reached by turning over, but for battles, they were often timed by blinking and breathing. For the monks who are thousands of miles away, it is enough.

She will never forget that it was this difference in stature that allowed her to avoid the fate of being torn apart by the Binghuoyuntaoyunju.

The feeling is indescribable, as if in a single thought, you are separated from the current time and space, and you are in another world, not here; the soul is here, but not in the body, it is uncertain and unpredictable.

She felt that it seemed that in that thought she touched some kind of power that was almost taboo—space.

Assuming she can move in one thought, can the range of movement be farther?What if it wasn't just me who was moving, but other objects, even... other people?

The power system built on the concept of teleportation belongs to the Tao in the name of space—this sounds so far away, but it is so exciting—before she needs to prove her conjecture, and even master this power , so that it is no longer just an illusion of nothingness, or a hole card that can only be used at a critical moment of life and death.

She wants to turn this exercise into an ability that can be used flexibly and repeated many times, rather than passive and randomly triggered luck.

It's just that this is the potential stimulation at the moment of life and death, and it is not easy to grasp that feeling again.

Zhong Liqing began to spend a lot of time practicing day and night, almost to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep. If it wasn't for Ying Xi who dragged her out to rest, I'm afraid Zhong Liqing would be able to stay in the room until the next session assessment.

However, by the time she got a little clue and feeling, there was only one day left before the next assessment.

Contrary to Zhong Liqing, who had a bad grade in the end, Ying Xi won the championship in the end, and became the only student in the audience who could accurately hit an arrow and even penetrate the bull's-eye while riding a beast at high speed—even though Zhong Li Qing thought she was just relying on brute force and luck—but she attracted the attention of the examiner, who thought she was a shooting genius.

So although Zhong Liqing didn't get the reminder of the next assessment, Ying Xi took the initiative to come to present the treasure, and stuffed the jade slip into Zhong Liqing's arms, so that Zhong Liqing, who was a little moved for a while, didn't notice this girl at all. His fingertips subconsciously rested on her chest for a moment.

"It's good to be happy." Ying Xi smiled so much that she showed her dimples on one side, her eyelashes fluttering, like a small animal waiting for a reward from its master.

Zhong Liqing rubbed her forehead hair smoothly, but she didn't realize that when there were only two of them, she had quietly changed her name to herself - she just couldn't wait to put her spiritual sense into the jade slips to check the introduction of the next assessment.

It is the same as the two imperial archery examinations that were combined into one assessment before. This assessment also combines books and mathematics among the six arts, which makes Zhong Liqing a little puzzled: I always feel that this Shenyuan Academy seems to be chasing something. The appearance of the timing... It is clear that there is still more than half a year left before the internal election of the sect is held, but there is a rush to select twenty people. Why?

However, this was not an answer she could know by asking casually or concentrating on it.

Judging from the instructions in the jade slips, the assessment method of the number of books is exactly what she has always wanted to study but has never been able to follow. Zhong Liqing was pleased; During the lecture, I just casually handed out a jade slip engraved with a few simple formations, and recorded a few principles and techniques for breaking formations.

Zhong Liqing memorized all the formation and runes in this jade slip, and unconsciously compared it with the formation outside the women's dormitory that she saw a few days ago and the mountain protection formation of the college—the more she thought about it, the more interesting she felt, enjoying the moment.

According to the jade slips, the most basic and most commonly used array layout methods are divided into three types.

The first one is to use talismans as the medium she is most familiar with and is best at, arrange and combine according to a certain position and quantity, and then put enough spirit stones as the energy supply source to form a formation; just like the one she used before Both the spirit-gathering array and the spirit-avoiding array are in this form, and it is also the method Zhong Lixun gave her.

The advantage is that the layout is simple and not time-consuming, but the disadvantages are also obvious: the form is single, the effect is simple, and it is not very stable. Only those half-baked Taoist masters and talisman masters who make up for numbers will do this.

The second is to use spiritual power to condense into silk threads and talisman pens to depict formation spells, and rely on the monk's understanding of formation runes and the knowledge he has mastered to engrave the formation—the more spiritual the monk is, the more powerful the formation will be. The deeper the attainments, the more powerful the formations drawn... This depends on the level of the formation Taoist.

However, the disadvantages of this method are also obvious: in a battle, one breath and one breath can decide the outcome, so where is the time for the formation master to describe the formation?

Even if there is a companion to cover and buy time, but this kind of work that requires full concentration, there must be no mistakes or pauses, otherwise the installer himself will suffer a certain degree of backlash.

Because the above two methods do more harm than good to some extent, the third method of formation has become the most common and popular one-that is, with the help of the formation disk with the formation method, you can also Using some kind of magic weapon as the foundation of the formation, as long as it is filled with spiritual stones or spiritual power, the formation can be activated-simple, stable and powerful.

The only disadvantage is probably that the cost is not affordable for ordinary monks - it can even be described as burning money.

Not to mention the magic weapon used as the foundation of the formation, the spirit stones that need to be filled, just the blank formation disk burned into the complete formation requires dozens of spirit stones... Of course, this is just the cost.

It is not a small expense to hire an array Taoist to inscribe into the formation. No wonder the alchemist, weapon refiner, and array Taoist are recognized as the three richest monks in the cultivation world.

The first and third types of jade slips didn’t go into details, and they didn’t advocate them very much. They just recommended the second method, and also gave examples of the principles of how to draw formations, which made Zhong Liqing study it like a treasure. If it wasn't for the fact that there was another You Chuhe in the room all night, I'm afraid I couldn't help but try to paint.

The next day when we gathered at the Martial Arts Arena, Zhong Liqing looked a little tired, but his spirit was extraordinarily excited, and he was also happy because of the slight success in the calculation formation, and even Ying Xi stuck to her side and started to fight Not even a move made her frown.

The book and the number represent writing and calculation respectively, which are in line with the formation method. Therefore, when the white-haired Mr. Gu stroked his beard and said that the assessment standard was to pass the formation he set up safely within the time limit, Zhong Liqing was more or less surprised and disappointed when she did not personally describe a formation.

After thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel relieved—the difficulty of breaking into a formation is no less than that of setting up a formation, and she doesn't need to expose the fact that she can describe formations, which can be regarded as an extra layer of protection for her life-saving means, why? Are you happy?

——Not long after, until she successfully squeezed out other competitors and became one of the twentieth, Zhong Liqing didn't know that being recommended as a representative of the academy was just the beginning.

The white-haired Mr. Gu stood with his hands clasped under the tree beside the martial arts arena, waiting for all the students to arrive, he waved his hands lightly, and when everyone stared at him in unison, he grinned, not salty or not He said calmly: "Everyone, what are you doing looking at this old man so stupidly?"

I saw him waving his hand, but out of thin air, he waved out a low couch and a low table for one person to rest on; the bed was covered with brocade and soft wadding, and tea and snacks were placed on the table. Slipping on his shoes, he sat cross-legged as if there was no one else around, as if he was not here to evaluate hundreds of students, but invited an old friend to enjoy the scenery together.

"Sir, this assessment..." the impatient student asked aloud.

The old man poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and squinted his eyes, then the old god raised his chin on the ground and said: "Masters, look behind you—this formation has been waiting for a long time."

Without him having to open his mouth, Zhong Liqing felt a special wave of spiritual power behind him as early as when the student asked the question. Looking back, he saw that the originally empty martial arts arena was suddenly covered by a thick fog. The fog cleared, and it was when Mr. Gu finished speaking that the formation in his mouth revealed the true face of Mount Lu.

The formation was as big as a football field on Water Blue Planet, and a triangular area was formed by gathering the formation flags. In order to distinguish the living beings from the surrounding scene, the blinding method was deliberately discarded, and the formation was drawn out in such a straightforward manner. position of the law.

But from the perspective of people like Zhong Liqing, they could only see three banners flying in the wind.

——As for the mystery of this formation, you can only know it if you step in and walk around it yourself.
