Chapter 13 Double Update 2 in 1
Tianyanzong, the observatory.
A monk in a blue Taoist robe walked hurriedly, holding a roll of jade slips in his hand, the corners of his clothes fluttered with his footsteps, and the faintly visible runes on the Taoist robe could be faintly seen.
It was already late at night, the observatory was empty and quiet, and the stars twinkled and flowed, drawing tracks invisible to the naked eye.
The disciple guarding the observatory heard footsteps and saw a blue figure passing by like a gust of wind. He hurriedly saluted and said, "Elder Pojun, please stay. Elder Wenqu is at the observatory. People are going to bother you."
Elder Pojun flicked his sleeves, his bearded face was darkened, he didn't stop, his voice was like Hong Zhong: "I'm looking for Wenqu!"
There are a total of 99 steps in the observatory, and non-elders of the Tianyan Sect cannot enter.
Elder Wenqu was bathed in the silver-white moonlight, closed his eyes and meditated, and remained motionless, surrounded by spiritual power, drawing a little bit of starlight, and the gold and silver light spots echoed into a long trajectory, like a road, as if on the road. guide what.
When Po Jun came to the observatory, what he saw was such a scene, he held his breath subconsciously, and even the anger in his heart calmed down by two points.
Standing for a long time, the starlight beside Elder Wenqu dissipated. He slowly opened his eyes, looked up at the star image formed by the stars, put his hands behind his back, and asked softly, "Pojun?"
This is the Tianyan Sect, which means "[-] Dao Dao, [-] Tianyan Sect". It is good at divination and formation runes. What's more special is that the Tianyan Sect has no suzerain, and it is passed down from generation to generation by seven elders. Sitting in the town, respectively inheriting the names of the Big Dipper.
The beards on both sides of Po Jun's cheeks moved, and he walked lightly to Wen Qu's side, and handed over the jade slip in his hand: "I got this from a disciple, it's——it's unreasonable!"
The latter sentence "How unreasonable" was said with gritted teeth, as if something disrespectful was written in the jade slip.
Wen Qu opened the jade slip, and watched the contents above with his spiritual sense. Elder Wen Qu, who had always been calm and thought that he would not be touched by foreign objects, became more and more frightened the more he looked at it: "This..."
Po Jun folded his hands on his chest, angrily said, "Young boy Huangkou, you actually made a false statement and recorded it in the book, misleading your son, it's extremely absurd!"
"No." Wen Qu browsed the jade slips with his spiritual sense over and over again. A roll of paper came out from Wen Qu's sleeve and slowly unfolded in mid-air. Wen Qu took out a pen and wrote one after another The rune formation leaked out from the tip of the pen, and he wrote more than a dozen in a row before stopping. Then, he put away the pen, moved his fingertips slightly, and the complete formation runes disappeared one by one, leaving only the last one Exactly the same line trajectory.
Po Jun's eyes widened, and he couldn't help taking two steps back: "Brother!"
Wen Qu looked at the paper quietly. Under the bright moonlight, the ink marks were so transparent that they were almost invisible, but they penetrated into his heart and sea of consciousness like sharp knives. Years of accumulation were shattered thoroughly, not even a little residue left.
"No, it's impossible!" Po Jun's eyes were red, and he tried his best to deny, "The rune formation is to guide the creation of the world, and every stroke can't be wrong. Every talisman and every formation is unique. Human beings are supremely wise, if there are laws to speak of in the Dao, then why has no one ascended or penetrated for nearly a thousand years!"
Wen Qu stroked the smooth surface of the jade slips, his eyes reflected the endless void, he couldn't see the trajectory of the stars, he couldn't see the sun rising and the moon setting, he couldn't see the long road, he couldn't even hear the screams of his junior brother.
The Dao that persisted in the sea of consciousness was crumbling, and the observatory under his feet was unable to support itself.
After being in a trance for a long time, Wen Qu flicked his fingers, and the tongue of fire licked the paper, slowly devouring it without leaving any trace.
Wen Qu turned around, he looked very young, but there were traces of time in his eyes, he looked at his junior, and finally said: "Who wrote this?"
Po Jun clenched his fists: "Brother!"
"I asked," Wen Qu's long hair was not tied up, and there was no wind at the moment, "Who wrote this?"
Among the seven elders of Tianyan Sect, Wenqu is the elder.
Po Jun gritted his teeth and let out a sigh of relief: "I don't know, it's just that I heard from that disciple that the jade slips come from the Divine Creation Sect, and almost everyone has one scroll, and they don't care about spreading it."
"I don't care about spreading it," Wen Qu repeated the last sentence, with a smile on his lips, but endless sadness in his eyes, "No matter who it is, such a heart makes me ashamed."
Every sect in the cultivation world has its own secret techniques, especially formations and runes. No one can carelessly engrave these secrets on jade slips and pass them on.
Wen Qu put away the important parts of the jade slips, and said, "Give me an order, you and Tanlang will follow me, and we will leave for the God of Creation Sect in three days' time."
Po Jun's eyes lit up: "Brother, do you want it?"
Wen Qu stared into the distance, which is where the Divine Creation Sect is located: "On the Tao!"
**
If Lu Yan was present, he would definitely be able to recognize that the jade slips are nothing but the textbooks he compiled, which are full of basic formations and runes, classified by the five elements and their uses, and briefly describe the regularities contained in them, which is very suitable Disciples who have just started or who don't know anything about formation runes.
In order to ensure rigor, Lu Yan specially asked Yichen Daoist, Yidaoren, and monks who specialize in the study of this Tao in the Divine Creation Sect. Entry-level jade slips, as well as elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels are slowly being compiled.
It's a pity that Lu Yan was not there, he was attending the Lantern Festival.
It is just summer in Mortal Realm, and the streets without curfew are bustling with activity. The bright lights exploded in the night sky, and they fell down with their long tails. One after another, the lanterns were arranged in unison, delicate and unique. , where the lights flickered, reflecting the whole street like daytime.
Lu Yan rubbed his nose and couldn't help but sneezed: "Ah!"
It always feels like someone is talking about him.
He Changyue took Lu Yan through the bustling crowd, looking here and there, like a hamster poking its head, and when he returned to Lu Yan, he looked satisfied: "Hey, little brother, how did you come up with such an idea?" Good idea, I think our lanterns will amaze everyone!"
The Lantern Festival is not a festival, but more like a lantern fair. It was Lu Yan who casually mentioned that if he was worried about selling it, he could hold a Lantern Festival in the name of the He family and invite all the people to participate. In the end, the leader would be elected, and he would be famous. up.
He Changyue is not very good at cultivation, but he is efficient in doing business. In just a few months, the He family and the city lord jointly organized this Lantern Festival. No matter who is well-informed, they all know that the He family has a unique one. The lamp is just waiting to win the championship.
Everyone is looking forward to what kind of craftsmanship the He family has, and they can release such big words, so they are all looking forward to the final exhibition of the He family.
Lu Yan has grown a lot taller, and will still be submerged in the crowd, but he can only temporarily ask the migrant worker Niao Henian to help him hold him, so that he can see all kinds of exquisite and funny lanterns.
Besides Lu Yan, Fuyi and Shen Mengji also accompanied them.
There were no candied haws in summer, so Shen Mengji was so angry that she bought a lantern in the style of candied haws for Lu Yan.
At this time, Lu Yan was holding this small lantern of candied haws, which was very red and festive.
The Lantern Festival is coming to an end, and everyone on the street has a lantern in their hands. The owners who sell the lanterns are laughing so hard that they can't see their teeth, wishing for such a good business every day.
He Changyue led Lu Yan to the last big booth, surrounded by many people, just waiting for the He family's lantern to appear.
Lu Yan heard the crowd whispering to each other.
"The last flying eagle lamp is so powerful!"
"I don't think it's as moving as the hibiscus lamp!"
"Press this one from the He family, I want to see what kind of treasure it is!"
As he said that, four people appeared on the stage holding a step, and the step was covered with a layer of cloth, and everyone was looking forward to it.
"Whoa-"
The cloth was lifted, revealing a huge peony lantern, with only a small pointed head exposed, faint purple light shining, the next moment, the buds rotated and unfolded, purple spread away, and the layers of petals were lifelike, if you look carefully Over time, the color of each petal changes, forming a shadowy gradient until the soft stamens are exposed, as if a flower is slowly blooming in front of your eyes.
All of a sudden, the only thing left in everyone's eyes was the lanterns on the booth, which were breathtakingly beautiful. Until now, everyone understands what is meant by the "National Beauty of Peony".
The name of this lamp is indeed "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance".
It was refined by Lu Yan and his disciples who were not in trouble.
He Changyue held his face in both hands, his eyes were full of obsession: "It's so beautiful."
And another sword repairer, Fu Yi, said: "Tuzi is a big flower."
Undoubtedly, the last "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance" came out on top.
To be reasonable, using the method of refining weapons to participate in the Lantern Festival in the mortal world is considered a dimensionality reduction blow.
Mr. He is full of energy, he came to the stage and talked freely. To sum it up, this is a lantern made by immortals. The He family can’t monopolize it. That’s why there is a Lantern Festival. In addition to this beautiful lantern, there are other styles for you to choose from. , brighter than candles and more durable than candles.
Lu Yan didn't look back, but followed He Nian sneakily to a door.
Different from the bustling scene on the street, it was pitch black here. He Nian signaled Lu Yan to cover his face, and he knocked on the door mysteriously, answered two codes, and went in smoothly.
The person who opened the door seemed to know He Nian, looked Lu Yan up and down, and asked, "Your son?"
He Nian retorted: "This is my ancestor!"
After entering the door, someone led the two of them into the ground, and then it suddenly became clear, and there was a lot of voices in his ears. He Nian sat on a corner seat with Lu Yan in his arms, rubbed his hands and said, "This is a black auction house. It has everything. When I was young and ignorant, I was almost knocked out and brought here to sell."
Lu Yan looked at He Nian eagerly: "Then you're still here?"
"You don't understand," He Nian smacked his lips, "I got the news when I first entered the city. There are a few black seabass today, and I'm so greedy."
Black snowfish is a deep-sea fish that is difficult to catch and delicious. He Nian once found a merman to be his partner for a fish, although in the end there were no mermen or fish, and he sold himself to Lu Yan up.
Lu Yan narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "I got the news when I entered the city..."
He Nian subconsciously explained: "I didn't want to run away!"
Lu Yan: "Oh?"
He Nian slapped his mouth: "My monster power is still sealed, I can't run away!"
With that said, the underground auction house rang the gong to announce the start of the auction.
In addition to the disciples of the great sect, there are also casual cultivators in the world. Most of them are stationed in a certain city in exchange for resources, or go to such similar shopping malls and auctions, maybe they can catch a leak.
The previous auctions did not surprise Lu Yan. After all, the Divine Good Fortune Sect is one of the largest sects. He is a direct disciple, and the entire database and resources of the sect are open to him.
The year of the crane happily photographed five black seabass, and immediately felt that the birds were born perfectly.
The auction process was quick, followed by the last lot.
The people on the stage made exaggerated body movements: "You may have heard of what we are going to shoot next--"
With a swish, the place behind which had been covered by the curtain slowly opened, revealing a huge cage, with a few chains hanging down from the top of the cage, binding the people inside—probably not people—tightly, and again. I want to talk about the places that should be exposed.
With a human body and a fish tail, it was a shark.
The merman's eyes were closed tightly, his upper body was hoisted by chains with his arms leading, and his hip-length sea-blue long hair was curled and submerged under the tail of the fish behind him.
This merman didn't know what had happened, half of the scales on the tail were lifted up, and it fell down miserably and powerlessly. There was only that face, which was flawless and indistinguishable from male to female. In frenzy.
"That's right, this is a merman, every merman is a body of extreme yin, a natural furnace!"
Lu Yan sat up straight, the golden lines in his eyes changed, quietly, he saw the merman's eyelashes move, and secretly opened a small slit.
He Nian's pupils shrank: "Jiaojiao!"
Lu Yanhu questioned, "You know him?"
He Nian lowered his voice, and looked in the direction of the shark with his eyes motionless: "That's my Taoist companion who was snatched away!"
Oh, there is no coincidence without a book.
Lu Yan leaned into his ear and asked: "Your Taoist companion... male sharks, do you mean that males and females are divided into males and females?"
"Of course!" He Nian answered as a matter of course, he paused, and asked, "What? Male shark?"
The upper body of the merman in the cage is wearing tulle clothes, only revealing the snow-white and slender neck, where the neckline is all the way to the end, and with a face like "Jiaojiao", it's really hard to tell whether it's a man or a woman just by appearance.
But he couldn't hide Lu Yan's eyes: "Yes."
"Boom!"
The whole bird in the year of the crane was like a lightning strike, and the world view collapsed suddenly: "What about men, men, men, men, men??"
The Buwang pen that Lu Yan put on his chest felt a little hot. He looked up at the top of his head, only to hear the second loud noise resounding in his ears again.
"Boom!!"
The underground passage opened suddenly, and a figure walked in slowly. He threw the person in his hand aside, staring at Lu Yan's direction with burning eyes: "Jiao Ruyan... I have another question."
The person in charge of the auction asked sharply, "Who!"
He Nian murmured: "I call your uncle Xun Cang!"
The merman in the cage didn't care to pretend to be unconscious, and the chain was rattled by him: "I'm your uncle's Xun Cang!!"
Xun Cang, the wolf king Xun Cang? !
Lu Yan grasped the brush, the hair on the tip of his brush was made of the handful on Xun Cang's tail, and what Xun Cang called out just now...
Isn't it just a question to the uncle!
Lu Yan: "..."
What luck!
There is only one Xun Cang in the cultivation world, and that is the wolf king who has cultivated for more than 3000 years!
The rogue cultivators stood up in unison, and the sound of seats and benches colliding suddenly rang out. Even a few rogue cultivators who had taken pictures but didn't get their hands on them ran out regardless, and the whole basement floor was empty in an instant.
Just kidding, things are more important than life!
The wolf king, Xun Cang, is famous in the cultivation world for his ferocity and violence, and no one dares to offend him lightly.
Xun Cang waved his hand casually, and the chains tied to the Merman broke all at once. He walked slowly in front of Lu Yan, condescendingly: "Young boy from the Divine Creation Sect?"
Lu Yan raised the corners of his lips and shouted loudly: "Senior Sister Fuyi!!"
Undecided when things happen, Senior Sister Fuyi.
"boom--"
A pure sword intent pointed directly at Xun Cang, and Fu Yi held the Chaomu sword, and said in a cold tone, "If you dare to touch my junior brother, you will die!"
Fuyi already knew that Lu Yan participated in the auction, but she had no money. If she saw a good thing but couldn't get it, she would not follow her at all, and chatted with Shen Mengji. .
Fuyi has never met Xun Cang, but it was just the first time Xun Cang made a move, she heard the noise and thought it was wrong, so she followed decisively, and happened to see Xun Cang threatening her junior brother, this can be tolerated!
"Ding!"
Fuyi flicked the blade of Chaomu Sword with two fingers, and the crisp sound waves turned into an illusory barrier of dark night, filled with stars.
"Dawn rises and dusk sinks!"
He Nian's monster power was blocked, but his human form was still fast. He hugged Lu Yan and jumped up to the exhibition stand of the auction. The merman inside had no chains, and patted the cage with his fish tail unrequitedly.
"Jiaojiao?"
Jiao Ruyan tilted her head and saw He Nian, her blue eyes filled with tears for a second, her voice was thin, and her slender hands grabbed the edge of the cage: "A Nian!"
It is very different from the sentence scolding Xun Cang before.
He Nian clutched his heart: "It's really a man!"
Bright as smoke: "..."
Lu Yan moved to Jiao Ruyan's side and asked, "How did you offend Xun Cang?"
Jiao Ruyan sighed deeply. He was in trouble like He Nian, his demon power was blocked, his tail could not be turned into a leg, and he couldn't escape. He simply recovered his voice and said, "It's nothing. My hundred years of calamity is coming soon. Listen He said that Xun Cang had a secret realm where he could go in and hide, so I was going to use a beauty trick to steal his secret realm. Alas, who knew it was such a coincidence, I was ready to go in and hide after stealing it. A grilled fish was picked up and locked in a cage."
No wonder the scales on the tail are almost gone.
If the tail had turned into legs, Jiao Ruyan would have raised her legs and said, "My monster power has been sealed by Thunder Calamity, but speaking of it, this Thunder Calamity seems to be a little less powerful than when I was in the sea."
Lu Yan: "..."
Sure, water conducts electricity.
Jiao Ruyan tilted her head and glanced at He Nian: "What's wrong with Ah Nian?"
With his back to the two of them, He Nian drew circles on the ground with a stick he didn't know where, and closed himself like a mushroom. Hearing Jiao Ruyan calling "A Nian", he couldn't help but move a few times, away from the cage.
Lu Yan thought about it: "You have to understand a wounded boy's heart."
The Taoist couple in their dreams changed from a female to a male, who can bear it.
Bright as smoke: "..."
Lu Yan picked up the pen, and with a movement of his wrist, a series of defensive runes formed in mid-air with aura, which would be good to resist a sharp claw.
Xun Cang's sharp claws.
Of course, the cultivation base in the Qi refining period is not enough to resist Xun Cang, but it is enough to come here with a sword in hand at this moment.
Jiao Ruyan let out a "huh" and patted the fish's tail as an applause: "Little brother, how did you know that Xun Cang would appear?"
Lu Yan took out a blank jade slip from the storage bag, with invisible textures flickering in his eyes, and completed a formation in one go, he looked at it twice, put it away with satisfaction, and replied: "Probably intuition. "
Xun Cang's talent is to move instantly, but when moving, there will be corresponding points in space and space. This point is the coordinates that support Xun Cang's settings. From the perspective of others, Xun Cang can easily move from one side to the other, but in Lu Yan's view , such a big and flashing formation, if you can't see it, there will be ghosts!
This space array is different from that of the storage bag, and it may bring a turning point to the bottleneck that Lu Yan has been unable to solve for a long time.
On the other side, Fuyi is gradually losing ground. Yaoxiu was originally known for being tough. Xun Cang has practiced for more than 3000 years, and he is even older than Fuyi by a fraction, let alone combat experience.
A folding fan appeared in Shen Mengji's hand who had been connected to the Internet for a long time.
"Wow—"
The bones of the fan and the surface of the fan were separated, one turned into a big net covering the sky, and the other turned into a eight trigrams array, covering Xun Cang underneath.
"It turned out to be shark silk," Jiao Ruyan looked at the fan, and said with great interest, "Shark silk is invulnerable to fire and water, and invulnerable to weapons and guns. A mermaid can only weave one piece in a hundred years. This size does not seem to be fully unfolded, and it takes about two Maybe even three horses."
Xun Cang's hand turned into a wolf's claw, and the sharp blade as hard as steel grabbed the fan with all his strength, but he saw that the shark was not damaged at all.
A big monster who can only practice for 3000 years and has not died has always been very knowledgeable about current affairs. Xun Cang's figure flashed and disappeared in place.
Lu Yan picked up his pen and said softly, "Second machine."
A formation gradually took shape in Lu Yan's pen. It was a formation that had never appeared in "Complete Formation". The golden light continuously took away Lu Yan's spiritual power. , holding a bag of spirit stones in one hand, the spirit energy in the spirit stones flowed into Lu Yan's meridians continuously, and the spirit energy suddenly lost and turned into a handful of fine transparent sand.
Xun Cang's goal is very clear, he wants to get the pen in Lu Yan's hand, because the tip of the pen is a handful of hairs on his tail, and there is a trace of his spirit. He didn't come out even after he asked the hairy tail, now in front of his eyes, in the hands of a little furry boy, he must not miss this opportunity!
A bag of high-grade spirit stones was almost squandered, and the formation created by Lu Yan took shape!
The moment Xun Cang appeared, the formation covered Xun Cang's body, and the golden formation turned into the strongest cage, imprisoning the mighty wolf king inside.
Anti-drawing array.
Lu Yan described the formation method that he had just learned when he was teleporting in Xun Cang according to the completely opposite trajectory. The method that the wolf king was proud of turned into a weapon in Lu Yan's hands to besiege him.
Shen Mengji didn't draw a talisman freehand this time, but took out a talisman, and the moment the wolf king was surrounded by the golden formation, it shattered and exploded on Xun Cang's head.
Lu Yanshi shyly hid in the corner, staying with the autistic He Nian.
"boom--"
Silver-white lightning fell in the basement, and the thunder poured mercilessly on Xun Cang's body, a little thunder and lightning leaked out, crackling along the metal cage.
Bright as smoke: "..."
How come there is an ominous premonition.
The next moment, a smell of grilled fish suddenly spread.
He Nian's nose twitched: "...does it smell a little fragrant?"
