East China Sea dust

The paper figurine stuck to Ao Dingbo's back and followed all the way into the Dragon Sacrifice Pool. During this period, no one noticed.

The door closed slowly, and the cracks in the door gathered the light from the outside world. Seeing his figure being stretched thinner by the light, Ao Dingbo couldn't help turning his head and glanced at the door panel.

The young man's back was facing the stone gate, his body was thin, and he gradually disappeared behind the huge stone gate, leaving only a desolate aura all over the ground.

"..." Ao Dingbo's pupils shrank slightly, and the fingertips hanging by his side moved.Then he retracted his gaze, looked straight ahead, and walked forward without looking back.

The Dragon Sacrifice Pool has always been a place where the Dragon Clan of the South China Sea and its officials discuss matters. It is heavily guarded and there are many restrictions. It cannot be opened for non-important matters.

In any case...it's not a place where people like Zhang Qinglan can come in and out at will.

With the last loud bang, the stone door was completely closed.At the same time, the entire altar rose slowly together with the stone steps, and countless vortexes suddenly appeared around it, making rumbling noises in the deep sea.

Ao Dingbo didn't change his face, and kept going up the stone steps, all the way to the floating altar.

As soon as he took half a step, the stone dragon that had been hovering around the altar began to swim quickly, and the dragon's head rushed towards the person who came——then it stopped completely at the moment when he felt the familiar dragon's breath, and his huge bell-like eyes slowed down. Turn around a few times.

Ao Dingbo raised his hand, placed his palm between Shilong's eyebrows, and poured a small amount of spiritual power into it.

Shi Long's pupils shone red, and then moved away to make way for Ao Dingbo.When the person completely walked into the altar, a light curtain of light that penetrated up and down was lit up all around, completely isolating the center of the altar from the outside world.

No one noticed that the paper figurine attached to Ao Dingbo's back was slowly moving towards Chilong's waist, hiding it even more concealedly.

At this time, several courtiers and confidants had already gathered in the altar, and they were gathering in twos and threes around a stone platform that protruded upwards in the middle, discussing something respectively.

Ao Zhan stood in the middle of the crowd, with his hands resting on the edge of the cold stone platform, his eyes darkened.

Seeing Ao Dingbo approaching, a group of people stopped talking immediately, bowed down and bowed to the Dragon King.

"Get up." Ao Dingbo waved his hand to show his courtesy, and walked quickly to his elder brother.

Following Ao Zhan's line of sight and looking at the phantom of Luliao Mountain projected on the stone platform in front of him, Ao Dingbo picked up a diamond-shaped spar from the stone platform, and asked a minister beside him: "How is the situation now? "

The minister's original form was a thousand-year-old tortoise. After transforming into a human being, he had black gauze on his head, a jade belt on his waist, and a dark blue tortoise shell on his back. He had a pair of mung bean eyes squinted, and his face was shrewd.

Hearing the Dragon King's question, Prime Minister Gui bowed his hands and replied: "Report to the king, the soldiers sent out have completely blocked Luliao Mountain and destroyed all the remaining formations in the mountain. 81 spars have been dug out and taken back." , and stored in the warehouse of the Dragon Palace."

Ao Dingbo nodded inscrutablely, and while the minister was not paying attention, he turned around and tugged at Ao Zhan's sleeve, calling "Brother" in a low voice.

Ao Zhan took the stone without aura from Ao Dingbo's hand, and rubbed his fingertips on it a few times... Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the pale yellow talisman paper on the younger brother's waist, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Ao Dingbo was a little confused by his brother's reaction, before he could react: "Brother, why don't you speak?"

Ao Zhan withdrew his gaze and said perfunctorily, "It's nothing." In the end, he didn't mention the paper man, as if he had never noticed it.

Ao Dingbo still felt weird, when he heard what Ao Zhan said, he suppressed his doubts temporarily, waved to Prime Minister Gui, and said, "Continue talking."

"I have recently checked the ancient books in the library," Prime Minister Gui stroked his gray beard, and said in an old voice, "combined with the formation of the remnant formation in Luliao Mountain, it has been confirmed that the formation in the mountain that day is actually the 'Nine Absolute Pagodas' array'."

After the words fell, everyone present gasped and whispered.

Hearing this, Ao Zhan frowned, and tightened his fingers holding the spar immediately, cracking the surface of the stone.

"Jiujue Pagoda...?" Seeing Ao Zhan's ugly face, Ao Dingbo asked in confusion.

"Yes," Prime Minister Gui nodded, "According to ancient records, the Nine Absolute Pagodas are just like their name, shaped like pagodas, with nine floors in total. Layers of formations are stacked and staggered to restrain each other."

A catfish with an indigo cloth scarf on its head echoed, "More importantly, the pagoda array has the function of locking spirits and devouring spirits."

"On weekdays, it is just to extract the aura from the mountains. Once the spirits and ghosts enter the formation, they will quickly transform into a killing formation, killing the spirits themselves, and devouring the spirit to nourish the formation."

Ao Dingbo looked at the phantom of Luliao Mountain that was slowly sinking and floating in front of him, and nodded: "I see."

Prime Minister Gui raised his hand to caress over the phantom of the mountain, and after a while, the killing formation that attacked Ao Zhan that day slowly appeared on it.

Sure enough, the stacked formations were nested from bottom to top, and nine round bright lights cut the mountain. If you look carefully, you can find the detailed incantations engraved in the formations, and the sound of golden soldiers resounds hidden among them.

"Three feet below the soil layer in the mountain, many diamond-shaped spars are buried to supply the operation of the formation. A large amount of spiritual power is stored in each spar, which is usually sealed and will burst out when the killing formation is activated. Hunt and kill spirit monsters that accidentally enter the formation."

Prime Minister Gui took a dilapidated spar from the stone platform and poured a little spiritual power into it, which was also mixed with a little monster energy.

Not long after, I saw that the gray stone gradually glowed with white light, vibrating in the prime minister's palm, making a "hissing" buzzing sound.

At the same time, thin chains emerged from the center of the spar out of thin air. The chains were translucent, and the texture was similar to jade.

Prime Minister Gui moved his fingertips slightly, struggling to control the wisp of monster energy, but found that the energy of the monster energy itself was being eaten away and absorbed by the surrounding "chains" bit by bit... until finally, all the monster energy disappeared.

The catfish spirit was manipulating the miniature of Luliao Mountain on the stone platform, and saw that the trails in the mountain were lit up one after another. After a closer look, it was discovered that thousands of diamond-shaped spars were working together to move towards the formation. Strands of pure spiritual energy maintain the operation of the magic circle.

"That's right." Ao Zhan frowned, half-closed his eyes, and stared at the Nine Absolute Formation: "When the king of Japan, Hualong, half lost his wits, when he fought with this formation, he felt that his skills were lost and it was difficult to recover. "

If Ao Dingbo hadn't received the news that Ao Zhan was coming to the South China Sea in advance, he would come with his soldiers and forcibly destroy the formation on the top of the mountain from the outside world.Ao Zhan alone may not be able to retreat completely.

"However, Your Majesty, there is still one thing that I don't understand." Prime Minister Gui pulled out the spiritual power from the spar, glanced at Ao Zhan without leaving any traces, and bowed his head.

Ao Dingbo raised his eyebrows: "Since you can come to sacrifice to Longtan, the eldest brother is not an outsider, the prime minister just said so."

Prime Minister Gui nodded in agreement, and then said, "According to ancient records, the method of breaking the pagoda formation is very strict. It requires one person in the formation and one person outside the formation to attack the eyes of the big formation at the same time, so that it can be completely broken. Nine layers of imprisonment."

"That day we were all fighting outside the formation, I wonder if the people in this formation are...?"

"Huh?" Ao Dingbo stretched out his hand to fiddle with the phantom, and when he heard Prime Minister Gui say this, he didn't care much and said, "People in the formation? What people in the formation?"

"Maybe my elder brother was insane when he transformed into a dragon, and happened to hit the formation...eye..."

As Ao Dingbo's voice gradually became weaker, Ao Zhan raised his eyes to look at him, and caught a trace of panic on his younger brother's face.

What flashed through his mind was the figure of Zhang Qinglan in a state of distress, trying to get closer to his elder brother little by little. Ao Dingbo lowered his eyes, suppressed the suspicion in his eyes, and coughed a few times to cover up.

No...is it him?

Ao Dingbo rubbed the tip of his nose, and his eyebrows were tangled into a ball.

The human race is obviously a waste with low spiritual power and vulnerable, how is it possible, how is it possible to break the eye of the formation?Help the big brother break out?

Besides, that person has a deep scheming heart, and he had murdered his elder brother before. How can people believe that he can change his nature and stand on the side of the Dragon Clan in just a few hundred years?

Ao Zhan saw that his younger brother's face turned blue and red for a while, and he was puzzled.He raised his hand and rubbed the red hair on the top of the opponent's head indiscriminately, and said in a deep voice, "What did you think of?"

Ao Dingbo just woke up like a dream, and he put those messy things behind him, shook his head, and said firmly: "It's nothing... It must be the tacit understanding between the two of us, and we worked together to break this troublesome nine-jue formation." of."

Ao Zhan had a panoramic view of the other party's panic, and gave him a meaningful look, but he didn't say anything more in front of everyone.

"According to previous reports, when you searched Luliao Mountain, you found two groups of people who were described as crazy. Besides, who else did you meet?" Ao Dingbo smiled at his brother, and quickly changed the subject.

After the words fell, a crab spirit came out of the crowd gathered around: "Report to the king, there is nothing."

After hearing General Crab's answer, Ao Zhan had a look of suspicion on his face: "Are there three bald donkeys among those two teams?"

Crab General shook his head and reported truthfully: "I've never seen it either."

Ao Dingbo was confused: "What bald donkey?"

Ao Zhan pondered for a moment, picked some important points, and told him what happened in Jinglian Temple and before and after entering the mountain.

"There are two deserted villages on the mountainside." After Ao Zhan finished speaking, Xie Jiang seemed to remember something, and then said, "It's just that they have been abandoned for a long time, the houses are dilapidated, and they have lost their popularity."

"After the magic circle was broken, I sent people to follow the two teams down the mountain, but they haven't returned yet. It's still unknown what happened."

Ao Zhan and Ao Dingbo looked at each other after hearing the words, each with their own plans.

"Tsk," Ao Dingbo crossed his arms, frowned, and said with sore teeth, "I knew that the human race doesn't have a single good thing."

"It's better to divide the troops into two groups. One is to go back to Jinglian Temple to track down the clues related to the bald donkey, and the other is to send more people to continue searching Luliao Mountain. Don't miss any corners."
