king array

The steep mountain wall at the west foot of Qingping Mountain forms a natural barrier, and there is only one entrance to the mountain. Because of the strong wind formed all the year round, it is named Zhanfeng Pass.

Zhanfeng Pass is considered to be the weakest point on the west side of Qingping Mountain. Every time someone invades, they must break through through Zhanfeng Pass. Therefore, when Mu Jiu designed the city protection formation, he paid special attention to this place, and specially ordered people to chisel the formation runes on it. On the two cliffs, a ten-person-high copper pillar was erected in the middle of the pass as the eye of the formation, densely carved with talismans on it, which complemented the runes on the two mountain walls, forming an unbreakable barrier.

However, due to the extremely strong wind at Zhanfeng Pass, it has already formed an offensive of cutting the mountain with a blade. If you want to go against the sky and twist the "potential" here into "defense", the runes need to be supported by extremely strong array power, so Every other month, Mu Jiu had to reinforce the copper pillar himself, otherwise the runes on the copper pillar would slowly disappear.

At this time, a lot of people gathered at Zhanfeng Pass, and they divided into two teams to confront each other. It can be said that they were clearly divided. One team was led by Wu Qing. Behind him stood many people with hoes and shovels, staring at the copper pillar. The other group of people, mainly Xiao Fanzi and other students from the Formation Academy, gathered under the copper pillar and glared at Wu Qing and others.

Zhong Lishan stood between the two teams and looked at Wu Qing with a look of weakness and fatigue on his face.

When Ling Xun and Mu Jiuxing arrived at Zhanfeng Pass, what they saw was this stalemate scene. Someone shouted "Mr. Mu is here", and the still scene seemed to be broken, and everyone turned towards Ling Xun and Mu Jiu looked over here.

"Sir! You are finally here!" Xiao Fanzi ran over first, bowed to Mu Jiu, and said angrily, "Master Wu said that he would set up another strange gate here and insisted on pulling out the copper pillars, but you said that after a while The foundation lies in the eyes of the formation. The copper pillars are the eyes of the formation, not to mention being destroyed, even if it is moved a little, the defense formation will lose its effectiveness completely. If we don’t let them move, they will come to strengthen them!”

When Xiao Fanzi and Mu Jiudaoming had some problems, Ling Xun's eyes were attracted by Wu Qing, and he couldn't help being surprised.

I haven't seen him for just a few months. Wu Qing is thinner than before. His bones can barely support his robe. His skin is so pale that there is almost no blood. There are two deep dark circles under his eyes, which make him look even more haggard.He was originally handsome, with big eyes, but now the black and white eyes set off the overly thin face, showing a bit of nervousness, and his gaze also showed madness and hostility.

"Hehe, what's the matter, even the head of the family can't be my master here, and a mere foreigner wants to tell me what to do!"

"Second Master, now people in the cottage are not allowed to be called Big Master, but Lord." Someone beside Wu Qing reminded him in a low voice, but Wu Qing's bloodshot eyes stared at him, so he was too frightened to speak any more. .

"Ah Qing, that's enough." Zhong Lishan wanted to reprimand him, but seeing Wu Qing's face, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he suppressed his anger and slowed down his tone, "It's a good intention of you to set up traps for the pass, but since here You already have Mr. Mu's protective formation, you might as well set up the mechanism elsewhere, why bother to destroy Mr. Mu's formation?"

But Wu Qing walked up to Zhongli Mountain and knelt down, "Master, the entire Qingping Mountain is exactly where I need to set up my mechanism! Although the array technique is useful, but..." Wu Qing went to Mu Jiu's side After a glance, "But after all, it needs to be controlled by the formation master, and only the formation master can control it. If my news is correct, the formation here needs to be strengthened every month, right? If something happens to the formation master in charge , there was a mistake, and when the runes in the eyes of the formation lose their effectiveness, wouldn't this large defensive formation be useless?"

"What do you mean by this? What do you mean the formation master made a mistake? Is this cursing Mr. Mu, or does he not trust Mr. Mu?" Xiao Fanzi was grateful for Mu Jiu's life-saving grace at the beginning, and was later enlightened by his teachings, so he naturally defended it with all his strength. Hearing Wu Qing's words against Mu Jiu, he immediately came out to complain.

Seeing this, Ling Xun immediately reprimanded him with a straight face: "My lord, how can you, a little boy, intervene? Why don't you apologize to Master Wu and then step back?"

No matter how you say it, Wu Qing is Zhonglishan's brother-in-law. Before Ling Xun and the others came, he was the veritable No. [-] in Qingpingshan. Xiao Fanzi dared to contradict Mu Jiu like this, and I'm afraid it would even provoke the anger of Wu Qing's group. .

Xiao Fanzi is still in awe of Ling Xun, so although he is not convinced, he dare not be rude to Wu Qing again.

"Master Wu, if you want to set up a mechanism, why do you have to tear down the copper pillars? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to set up a strange mechanism outside this protective circle?" Ling Xun intentionally eased the atmosphere, not letting Zhong Lishan It is too difficult to do, so the attitude is very polite when speaking.

However, Wu Qing didn't buy it, and looked at Ling Xun with a sneer, "Who is Lord Wu? I'm a fallen bandit. First, I don't have a dog emperor's personal title, and second, I don't have a dog official document. Who gave me a title?"

"Wu Qing! Did you come out to make trouble on purpose? If so, why not go back and lock it up, and never come out!" Seeing that Wu Qing was going too far, Zhong Lishan finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he waved his hand and called a team Soldiers, order them to drag Wu Qing and others down.

Wu Qing stared at Zhonglishan in a daze, as if he couldn't believe that he would say such a thing to him. Seeing the soldiers coming to drag him, he suddenly threw off the soldiers forcefully, rushed to Zhonglishan, knelt down, and held onto Zhonglishan's waist tightly. gown swing.

"Master, I didn't close my eyes for [-] days and exhausted all my life's knowledge before I finally comprehended the Qimen Dunjia technique and designed the guard stone formation. You...why don't you believe me?" Wu Qing said at the end , her lips trembled slightly, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes, "I was the person you trusted the most in the past, why now, in your heart, I can't even compare to an outsider?"

Zhong Lishan and Wu Qing grew up dependent on each other, they are not brothers, but they are better than brothers. In the past, Zhong Lishan had almost never had any blush with Wu Qing, and would discuss with him about anything, and even entrusted him with his wealth and life.However, ever since he knew Wu Qing's thoughts on him, he deliberately alienated him, but unexpectedly, instead of giving up, Wu Qing's temperament became more and more paranoid, almost turning himself into a lunatic.

Seeing Wu Qing's description at this time, Zhong Lishan couldn't bear it, reached out to wipe away his tears, and helped him up, "Ah Qing, why are you always so stubborn? When did I stop trusting you?"

Wu Qing was overjoyed by Zhong Lishan's actions, he was like a child, with tears on his face, but he was already smiling happily, staring straight at Zhong Lishan, and clasped him with both hands The hand that wiped away the tears for her was tightly grasped.

Zhong Lishan wanted to withdraw his hand but couldn't, so he couldn't help frowning, he used a little more strength, finally retracted his hand, and at the same time took half a step back.

The smile on Wu Qing's face froze, his hands were still holding Zhong Lishan's hand, hanging there empty, a little funny.

Zhong Lishan didn't wait for him to get nervous again, and said first: "If you really want to set up a defensive stone formation here, I won't stop you, you just set it up, why do you want to pull out that copper pillar?" ?”

Wu Qing finally let go of his hands silently, and said to Zhong Lishan: "The array technique needs to find the eye of the formation, and the technique of Qimen Dunjia also pays attention to the position. If I want to set up this defensive stone formation, I must occupy that position."

As a result, they fell into a stalemate again. Ling Xun lowered his head and thought for a while, but he came up with a solution, and stepped forward to Wu Qing again and said: "Whether it is the technique of Qimen Dunjia or the formation technique, we always want to kill this It doesn't matter what kind of wind is used to increase security, what does Wu Erdang think?"

Wu Qing snorted coldly and didn't answer, but obviously she didn't object to Ling Xun's statement.

Ling Xun settled down a bit, knowing that Wu Qing was reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Okay, since there is only one of the two methods, then it's very simple, choose the best one. As long as Wu Er can prove that the second master of Qimen If the technique is more effective in resisting foreign enemies than the defensive array technique set up by Mr. Mu, then I will have someone remove this copper pillar."

Wu Qing said: "What's the problem? You said, how to compete?"

Ling Xun said: "It's simple, just set up a magic circle and a stone circle, let people simulate a breakthrough, and see which one lasts longer."

"Okay, this method is good." Zhong Lishan was overjoyed, "Use whichever method you see is stronger."

Wu Qing frowned, "How is this a test? How much manpower and financial resources will be spent on one siege? To simulate two sieges, Boss Feng has too much money to use?"

"This is easy to handle. Naturally, it's not a real siege, but a rehearsal on the sand table. How does Wu Erdao feel?"

Wu Qing was originally good at strange skills, after several months of retreat and study, he has mastered the strange skills, and he is very confident in the stone formation he designed, so he quickly agreed to Ling Xun's proposal, Ling Xun Xun asked Mu Jiu, and seeing that he had no objection, he ordered someone to find a sand table and arrange it according to the terrain of the Zhanfeng Pass, and then ordered both sides to attack separately, and set a rule that as long as the other party can break through the formation and enter the pass, it will be regarded as defending the city fail.

First, Mu Jiu set up a magic circle on the sand table that was exactly the same as on the ground. No matter how Wu Qing tried his best, he couldn't break through the magic circle and enter the Zhanfeng Pass.Immediately after Wu Qing, he used stones as a formation, like forming a formation, and according to the principle of Qimen, densely arranged a figure similar to the Eight Diagrams formation at the Zhanfeng Pass.

Ling Xun didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when the stone formation gradually took shape, he was fascinated by it, because he actually saw some principles of the formation technique.Ling Xun also forgot the grudge with Mu Jiu, and pulled his sleeve habitually, asking in a low voice, "Doesn't Huaifeng think this formation is similar to the formation technique?"

"The formation technique originally included Qimen, but because the technique of Qimen Dunjia is easier to be mastered by mortals who do not have the potential for formation techniques, it is more widely spread. It is not surprising that the Lord Wu's stone formation looks familiar."

"Is that so? But I have read books on Qimen Dunjia Technique, but I have never seen anything so similar to Array Technique."

While speaking, Wu Qing had already arranged the miniature stone formation in the sand table. Mu Jiuzhi glanced at it and said, "There is no need to try it. Master Wu's stone formation is exquisitely laid out, and its effectiveness in defending the city is comparable to that of Mu's formation. .”

Wu Qingpi glanced at Mu Jiu with a half-smile, "Employees are empty words, so I can't let people think that Mr. Mu let me go, let's follow the pre-designed rules."
