At first glance, the surroundings of the Zide Hall of the Lingshou Palace are no different from other places. Even outside the elixir room where Master Qinghe retreated, as in his previous retreats, four formations were set up as obstacles to prevent disciples from He broke in by mistake and ran into the people inside.

Yun Zong had been here to protect the law for his teacher before, and he knew that the few formations outside were only of ordinary difficulty. No one dares to come here to make trouble.

But it is obviously not the previous defensive formation. On the way to the gate of Danfang, four formations were built with talisman carvings, each of which has one of the four attributes of gold, wood, water, and fire. Judging from the cultivation and techniques of the people who set up the formation, it should be done by high-ranking monks.

"How?" Yun Zong asked secretly.

The two stood in mid-air, with enchantment and invisibility, no one found them.

Before the alchemy room, there were still four Shangxuanzong disciples guarding four places, but their cultivation bases were not high.But here we can see the thoughts of the people who set up the formation. Those disciples stood behind the formation. If they want to break the formation, they must be alarmed.

And Zhou Yinyu is everyone on the formation talisman, so Yun Zong naturally wants to ask him first.

Zhou Yin said nothing, he was observing.

Breaking the formation is all about skill, no matter how perfect the formation is, there will be flaws.

As long as it is a formation, there are formation eyes.No matter how the formation is, the eyes of the formation will always exist. The difference is only in the cultivation of the formation breaker, whether they can see through the eyes of the formation, or whether they will be confused by the formation and find a fake formation.

Each of these four formations holds an attribute, which is perfect enough from the layout point of view.

For example, in the outermost metal formation, the people who set up the formation directly carved the runes of golden cocoon and silk on the ground, and then added a layer of lost traces. Once you step into the formation, you will involuntarily shift your footsteps , the formation was disrupted again, but in the formation, it was no longer possible to think of a new way to break the formation.

So the eye of the formation should not be in the formation.

Zhou Yin looked away and looked around.

The surrounding environment of Danfang is quiet and full of pear trees. It is not the season for pear blossoms to bloom at this time, but due to the abundant aura of Shangxuanzong, the most indispensable thing is spells, so Kazuki is still full of snow-white trees, which is very beautiful.

In the shade of pear blossoms, there is a stepped stone path outside the alchemy room, leading directly to the Zide Hall below.

Although it is not obvious, if you observe carefully, you can still find that these pear blossoms are not closely connected, but divided into seven clusters, which coincides with the meaning of "seven stars arching the moon". Considering that the alchemy room can absorb more spiritual energy, it is very beneficial for those who practice in the alchemy room.

Zhou Yin said: "How long have these pear blossoms been planted?"

Yun Zong said: "It has been like this since I started."

That has nothing to do with the formation, Zhou Yin turned his eyes away, and looked elsewhere.

The alchemy room itself, the plants and trees next to the formation, the long and narrow staircase...

His eyes finally fell on the four disciples.

Instead of guarding the four corners, they stood two by two around the door, thinking that this boring job made them feel bored, so they chatted there.

But chatting is chatting, their footsteps did not move half a step, they still stood there motionless.

One of them had a sad face, as if he was a little tired. He said a few words to the other three, and the others made fun of him. Then, the four of them took a step in different directions, and the one who complained about being tired was also able to Take the opportunity to twist your waist and move your muscles.

Just at this time, the formation flickered for a moment, and its power weakened a bit, and when the four of them stood still, they returned to their original state.

Zhou Yin stared at them for a moment, then said lightly: "I see."

He had been silent just now, and Yun Zong didn't bother him, but when he heard him speak, he couldn't help but look over immediately.

"The place where these four people stand is the eye of the array."

"How to say?"

"They use a special footwork to maintain the balance of the formation. When one person moves, all four move. Therefore, they cannot kill or move unless they can fully master that set of footwork."

Hearing what he said, Yun Zong looked at the four of them intently, and really found some clues.

Zhou Yin said from the side: "I just saw that when they were walking, there was a moment when the formation was the weakest, and its power was almost zero."

Yun Zong is a very smart person, otherwise he would not be able to cultivate to today's achievement, Zhou Yin said, he immediately thought of a way.

He walked around to the pear tree behind the alchemy room, flicked his finger, and a wisp of green smoke dissipated in the night sky.

Then there was a faint, extremely sweet fragrance that spread out. At first smell, it seemed to come from the alchemy room, which attracted the four guarding disciples to look at each other.

One person said: "What kind of fragrance is this?"

The others looked at each other in blank dismay, but they didn't know.

Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva. The taste was like an extremely delicious dish, like a freshly baked panacea, and more like the faint body fragrance from a peerless beauty, which fully mobilized everyone's endless reverie, let They couldn't help but want to see what happened.

The scent became more intense, the four of them had low cultivation bases, they only knew that they were transferred to guard the alchemy room, but they didn't know the mystery inside, so they couldn't help guessing each other.

"Could it be that the headmaster concocted some new elixir inside?"

"Impossible, I've never smelled this scent on anything, it seems, it seems," the man showed an ambiguous smile, and whispered: "The most beautiful woman in the world, Fairy Bibo, do you know?"

Another person said: "Of course I know, I have seen it once, it is really icy and beautiful, it is a pity that I did not become Master Yun's Taoist companion."

The man whispered: "I have served close to Fairy Bibo, it seems that this lotus fragrance is on Fairy Bibo, but this fragrance is even stronger."

The other three were dumbfounded: "No way, you mean..."

The man hurriedly said, "I don't mean anything!"

The four of them had some scruples at the beginning, but after so many days of guarding, they were too boring to talk, and there was never any movement inside, so they inevitably let go a lot when talking, anyway, there was no one around.

Another person said: "The scent seems to be coming from behind, why don't I go over and have a look!"

"That's not good, didn't the superiors tell us not to act rashly?"

"If the fragrance is coming from inside, we naturally can't make a big mistake and open the door to peep. Now we just go to the back of the alchemy room to take a look, and it's okay!"

The other three people were obviously moved, and said: "Then you go and come back quickly!"

"Don't worry!" the man replied, walking back.

The gold, green, blue, and red four talismans carved on the ground dimmed in an instant.

There was a gap in the original interlocking formation.

It's now!

Zhou Yin shot out the Tianxiu pen in his hand, flew in precisely from the gap in the formation, and tapped four times on the backs of the four of them.

The gesture rushed into the acupoint with spiritual power, and the four of them couldn't move at once, and lost consciousness, standing there straight like a log.

"My Ah Yin is so powerful, he even breaks the formation so neatly!" Zhou Chen, who had been silent just now, finally found a chance to flatter him.

Since Zhou Yin prevented him from intervening in Xuanzong's affairs, his daily life was eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, playing kisses with his daughter-in-law when Yun Zong was away, and playing tricks until he succeeded. He pretends to be dead, and basically does not speak unless necessary, and firmly adheres to the "two whatevers" principle: everything Zhou Yin says is right, and everything Zhou Yin does is wise.

Yun Zong: "..."

Was the process too smooth?

He glanced at Zhou Yin, but Zhou Yin didn't speak.

The formation is not easy to break, but it is not difficult to find a flaw. Apart from these four disciples, there are no other guards around the pill room. They're bound to have to go through this.

The door of the pill room was locked from the inside, but with the abilities of the two of them, it was a breeze to break the lock and open the door.

Yun Zong pushed open the door, and the furnishings inside were the same as when he had been here before, and there were no prohibitive seals around, only a man sat behind the heavy gauze curtain, his figure was very familiar.

"Who?" came a familiar voice.

Is he still alive?Both of them were a little surprised, and there was no sound for a while.

In their imagination, if Qinghe Zhenren was either seriously injured and placed under house arrest, or something unexpected happened.

"Is it Yun Zong?" Qing He had already seen the two at the door through the half-covered curtain.

"Master, it's me." Yun Zong said, closed the door with his backhand, and walked forward together with Zhou Yin.

"Why are you here?" Qinghe Zhenren looked normal, and there was no sign of being imprisoned.

Yun Zong said: "Some accidents happened in the door, we were a little worried, so we came in to have a look."

Qinghe Zhenren said: "You shouldn't come."

Yun Zong said: "What happened?"

Judging by the tone, something must have happened during their departure from Shangxuanzong, but after returning, everything was under the calm, even Qingying was emptied, and they didn't know where to start except to come here.

Qinghe Zhenren didn't answer, but said: "Go out quickly, go far away before you are discovered, and don't come back again!"

Yun Zong frowned: "Master!"

It is rare for Master Qinghe to speak harshly: "If you still recognize me as a master!"

Yun Zong fell silent, just looked at him and didn't speak.

Master Qinghe sighed: "Up until now, haven't you noticed anything strange about me?"

Zhou Yin said suddenly: "Your cultivation base is gone."

Yun Zong was startled. When he came in, he only saw that Daoist Qinghe was safe and sound, and he didn't think about it for a moment. Now that he took a closer look, he realized that the faint cloud that was originally lingering around Qinghe's body, which was unique to monks, had dissipated into nothingness. Now Qinghe, It is no different from an ordinary old man in his 70s or [-]s, with a few more wrinkles around his eyes, which is a manifestation of losing his cultivation and gradually aging.

His eyes were fixed: "Is it Qingyan, or the Sixth Elder?"

Qinghe's smile was slightly bitter: "Qingyan is only in the early stage of Yuanying, how can he plot against me alone, and the six elders will not work for a tiger."

Yun Zong said: "Then what the hell..."

Master Qinghe stopped him from continuing, and said: "Forget it, let me tell you, listen, and leave as soon as it's over, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time."

Things started ten years ago.

Since ancient times in the mainland, there has been a theory of "response between heaven and man", which believes that heaven can intervene in everything in the world, and people can also respond to heaven's instructions, especially for monks.In many major sects, due to the fact that there are some seniors who have ascended to the upper realm, sometimes, as a person of high morals and prestige in this sect, occasionally they can enter a mysterious realm when entering meditation, and even get one or two revelations from heaven, which is very important for the development of the sect. Self-help.

Ten years ago, Qinghe Zhenren also received an oracle from the upper world during a practice.

Although he is the head teacher of Shangxuanzong, but in terms of cultivation, he is not the highest in the sect. It is naturally very rare to be able to get information from the upper realm, especially the content of this decree is even more strange.

The general idea is that now that there are many military disasters and the world is restless, sooner or later there will be a day of great chaos. Let him take the opportunity to nibble away at the surrounding small sects, and then use the strategy of long-distance and close-attack to annex the big sects step by step, and then look for opportunities to burn down all the sects of the Shang Xuanzong. In this way, other sects will lose their long-term development and have no choice but to rely on Shangxuanzong. For a long time, Shangxuanzong has not only become the veritable number one sect in the world, but also waited until the future. When the mainland is unified, the new monarch must also worship Shang Xuanzong and regard it as the state religion, and Shang Xuanzong will definitely pass it on from generation to generation because of it, and it will be immortal for thousands of years.

Moreover, if Shang Xuanzong decides to do this, the heavens will follow the way of heaven and provide him with help. Even Qinghe himself can get the benefits of improving his cultivation and even ascending to the upper realm.

When Qing He received this news, he was shocked at first, and then had countless doubts.

He has long passed the age of believing in anyone or anything without even thinking about it, even if this decree comes from the supreme heaven.

Why did the heavens send down this message?

As the head teacher, Qinghe naturally knows more than others.Not only did he know the immortals in the upper realm, besides the senior monks who had ascended from the mainland, there were also immortal clans who originally belonged to the upper realm. He has never received special favor from heaven, let alone any relationship with the upper realm.

In this way, the starting point of the heavenly realm is debatable.

If not, what is its purpose?Could it be for the long-term development of the Taichu Continent, and to prepare for the future unification?

This makes no sense.In the upper world and the human world, there is a clear distinction between the Wei and the Wei. People respect the heavens. What they respect is the ability of the gods to call the wind and rain and bring good weather to all living beings. Immortals have their own ways, and humans have their own ways. Breaking the law and destroying the balance of the Three Realms.

Moreover, the upper realm ordered Shang Xuanzong to take the opportunity to burn down the comprehension classics. Although on the surface, it was for the benefit of Shang Xuanzong, but in fact, this undoubtedly broke the cultivation root of the mainland that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years.Without the sect of comprehension that a hundred flowers are contending for, even if Shang Xuanzong is left alone, how long can it exist?

Thinking of this, Qinghe shuddered a little, and didn't dare to think about it any further, but suppressed this decree and never mentioned it to anyone again.

Time passed little by little, ten years was not long or short, he had not received any instructions, and he almost forgot about it.

But only almost.
