Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 34: Explanation of the Ancient Formation
Following the sound and looking downstairs, I saw several people arguing with each other downstairs.
One of them is about forty years old, wearing coarse clothes, his hands are covered with calluses, he has a honest appearance, and looks like an old farmer. At this moment, he is saying something excitedly. Opposite him are several young people standing in uniform. Jinyi sneered at the old farmer.
With just one glance, the students upstairs recognized who the men in golden clothes were.
Cai Junyang snorted coldly: "Those guys from Tianshen Palace are out to cause trouble again."
Although I didn’t see what happened, the old farmer was a stall owner and was setting up a stall on the street. At this moment, he was guarding a book in his hand. Everyone could guess without asking that this was probably a business together. dispute.
At this moment, hearing what Cai Junyang said, Peng Yaolong burst out laughing and said: "You guys from Tianshen Palace, why don't you stay at home and come out to bully good people? How shameless are you?"
The Tianshen Palace disciples raised their heads after hearing the sound, and then they saw a group of Xiyue students in Tianxiang Tower, their faces changing color at the same time.
The leading Tianshen Palace student seemed to know Peng Yaolong and said angrily: "Peng Yaolong, this matter has nothing to do with you, please mind your own business!"
Peng Yaolong looked up to the sky and laughed: "Kang Guoran, it doesn't matter if it doesn't matter. I just like to meddle in your business. What's wrong? If you are not convinced, let's go to the martial arts stage and have a fight."
The student named Kang Guoran immediately stopped silent, obviously he did not dare.
On the other hand, Tang Jie was curious and asked: "Martial arts stage?"
Wei Tianchong told him: "This will be our competition ground then."
"How can I use it now?"
Wei Tianchong chuckled and said, "Do you think that such a large formation with so many puppets in Xiaoyao Palace is just for decoration? Tang Jie, did you know that these days, only the disciples in Hongmei City are fighting in private? , I’ve called it hundreds of times.”
"So many!" Tang Jie was also shocked: "Do you have the strength to wait for the official competition before fighting?"
"The problem is that some people don't think so." Cai Junyang said.
After Wei Tianchong and Cai Junyang explained, Tang Jie finally understood.
In fact, there are only one hundred and twenty official participants in this Immortal Fate Meeting, that is, twenty people from each of the six major sects.
However, because it involves six major factions competing for supremacy, Xiaoyao Palace marrying girls, **** and swords are always the targets of people's pursuit, it attracts tens of thousands of viewers. Coupled with the large number of slaves, followers, and merchants who heard about it, the new audience attracted by this, and the cycle continued, making the Fairyland a rare event.
Under such a grand event, what was originally a simple issue of ownership of Xiaoyao Palace gradually evolved into a struggle for the strength of the six major factions.
Which of the six major factions is weaker and who is stronger has been a topic of endless debate for thousands of years. Because the matter involves survival, the six major factions have never held a similar competition-for the six major factions, In other words, the benefits that being the number one among the six sects can bring to oneself are far outweighed by the risks that being the last of the six sects can bring to oneself.
In their position, being conservative is the way to go. You can't go forward more than a few steps, but you will reach a cliff thousands of feet back.
The Immortal Fate Meeting has inadvertently provided such an opportunity. Through this grand meeting, the strength of students from both sides can be tested.
Since the strength of the students does not represent the strength of the sect, and victory or defeat will not affect the strength of the sect, the six major sects dare to go all out to promote the competition - the less afraid of losing, the more they dare to fight.
This is an upper level factor.
In addition, the six major sects themselves have never been in harmony. Just like the people from Qianqing Sect and Tianya Haige stared at each other when they met, the Qijue Sect and Tianshen Palace, the Beast Refining Sect and the Xiyue Sect have also never been in harmony. Not to be dealt with. This is the emotional factor.
There are many students from the other six sects, and there are always some students who are good but have not been selected. They are eager to become famous and recognized by others. They are unable to show their talents in the formal Immortal Fate Conference, so they look for opportunities in private. This is a personal factor.
Finally, there are more people and more things to do, so disputes are inevitable, and there needs to be a channel for venting and dealing with them. This is a management factor.
It is precisely because of these reasons that the Immortal Fate Conference has actually been bustling with countless good shows before it officially started.
Some students even became famous through this, and suddenly became influential figures in Hongmei City.
Among them are members of the six major sects, as well as other small sects; there are students who have officially participated and students who have not obtained the qualifications to participate;
Peng Yaolong is one of these influential figures. He has fought several times in the martial arts arena in the past few days and won with absolute knockouts. Currently, he is considered to be one of the top ten in the Xianyuan Club. .
This is why the student named Kang Guoran shrank when he heard Peng Yaolong speak.
Understanding this, Tang Jie asked Cai Junyang: "What about you? How was your performance on the martial arts field?"
Cai Junyang curled his lips and replied: "I didn't go, because I didn't want to expose myself so early."
Most of the official contestants did not participate in this martial arts performance before the official competition. They had to retain their strength and cards to deal with the more important official competition.
Even those who participate often just want to have fun and do not reveal their trump cards. For example, Peng Yaolong's consecutive victories were all based on brute force. No one knew what else he had behind this brute force.
At this time, Tang Jie and the others had figured out what happened.
It was just that the old farmer was selling a book of formation commentaries that he got from nowhere, and these Tianshen Palace students saw it and wanted to buy it.
The commentaries on the Tao of Formation are not a rare thing. They are nothing more than some experiences of practicing the Tao of Formation recorded by a certain cultivator.
There are so many cultivators in the world who know how to practice formations. If they are not famous, they are usually not of much value.
However, each cultivator usually has some unique understandings of his own. There may be something worth learning from others, so there is still some reference value.
Those students from the Tianshen Palace obviously wanted to buy it for reference. Unexpectedly, the old farmer, who had never seen the world, mistook it for a rare commodity and actually offered three thousand spiritual coins.
How could those students accept such a price and not want to give up just like that, so they started arguing with them. They were young and energetic, and they spoke irritably. In addition, they were of noble birth, and they carried a threatening tone intentionally or unintentionally. Unexpectedly, the old farmer was not afraid of death. As a result, they started to make trouble and killed the people who were eating. The Xiyue Sect students were led out.
So this matter is wrong, not because the people of Tianshen Palace want to bully the market, but the old farmer is also a little allergic, but Peng Yaolong and the others would not consider this. The Gu Changqing incident three years ago caused the relationship between the Xiyue Sect and the Tianshen Palace to deteriorate sharply. Now that he had the opportunity, Peng Yaolong refused to let it go and sneered: "What? People from the Tianshen Palace only bully civilians, and they won't do anything serious. Just shrink?"
Kang Guoran's face turned green and red, obviously he was very angry with Peng Yaolong, but his skills were inferior to others, so he could only endure it.
At this moment, I heard a voice in the distance: "If we in Tianshen Palace only bully civilians, then what does it mean that you, Senior Brother Peng, only look for challenges that are weaker than yourself? Do you want to stage a martial arts show? Okay, I’ll go with you!”
As soon as these words came out, a group of people from Xiyue Sect changed their expressions at the same time. Only those from Tianshen Palace turned around excitedly and shouted together: "Senior Brother Yun!"
I saw a group of people striding forward in the distance. The leader was holding a book in his hand. However, he was not wearing the golden shirt of Tianshen Palace, but a white robe. He looked as rich as jade, but looked like a white-faced man. Scholar.
As soon as this person appeared, Peng Yaolong's face also darkened: "Yun Wuji!"
Tang Jie looked back at Wei Tianchong. He was new here and didn't know much about many things here. Wei Tianchong had already explained for him: "Yun Wuji, a seventh-year student of Tianshen Academy, one of the official participants of Tianshen Palace and a genius student of Tianshen Academy, has played two games with Senior Brother Peng, and both of them won one game each. He He is also the student who is currently said to be the most promising to be selected by the Little Palace Master... He is so handsome!"
Cai Junyang shook his forehead, pretending to be cool: "What's so rare about a pretty boy? To be a man, you have to be masculine, restrained and not ostentatious, and don't make yourself look like a big bear. Don't make yourself look like a big bear." You have to be a sissy yourself!"
Qi Shaoming said leisurely next to him: "If you put it that way, I think I am quite suitable."
Cai Junyang snorted: "Too feminine."
Ye Tianshang asked: "What about me?"
"Too masculine."
"...It's just you." Qi Shaoming and Ye Tianshang greeted him together.
Cai Junyang laughed: "No matter where it is, I mean someone like Tang Jie is the most suitable."
Tang Jie coughed: "I don't have anything to do here, just talk about your business and don't drag me into trouble."
They were chatting and laughing, but Peng Yaolong and Yun Wuji were glaring at each other. The atmosphere was solemn and tense for a while.
The two people just stared at each other up and down. Peng Yaolong's eyes were as wide as donkey's eyes, while Yun Wuji also collected his books and held his hands, standing proudly, looking at each other without giving in, as if his eyes were If they could kill, the two of them would have already cut each other into pieces.
Finally, Peng Yaolong took a deep breath and said: "Okay, okay, very good! Yun Wuji, if you want to fight, then fight!"
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves, and he flew out like a cannonball into the distance. He rushed towards the martial arts field. Yun Wuji snorted and stepped on a ball as he flashed. The silver sword chased Peng Yaolong, and the two of them disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, the remaining students also ran to the martial arts field together, obviously wanting to cheer for their senior brothers.
"Let's go, Tang Jie, let's go too." Wei Tianchong pulled Tang Jie and said.
Tang Jie shook his head: "You go first, I will come back later."
As he said that, he went downstairs and walked towards the old farmer selling books.
When he came to the old farmer, Tang Jie pointed to the old farmer's book and said, "Can you let me have a look at your commentary on the formation path?"
The old farmer probably saw that Tang Jie was with the people who had spoken out to help him out before, so he hurriedly said: "Young Master wants to see it, you can. If the Young Master's friend hadn't spoken out, I'd probably The treasure was about to be snatched away by the bad guys from the shrine that day."
Tang Jie said calmly: "You have to see it before you know whether it is a treasure or not."
As he spoke, he casually opened the page of the book, and the words that came into his eyes made Tang Jie's heart tremble.
"Experiences of exploring the ancient array".
Exploring the ancient formation? This is actually a commentary on the exploration of ancient formations?
Tang Jie immediately understood why those Tianshen Palace disciples were interested in this formation book.
The Nine Ultimate Immortal Killing Formation is the ancient formation!
The history of cultivating immortals in Qixia Realm has been tens of thousands of years. Over the past tens of thousands of years, with the development of history and changes in the environment, many immortal magic and magic have changed. For example, physical training, which was said to be the most popular in ancient times, is almost impossible to find today. People like Tang Jie Peng Yaolong are considered physical practitioners. If they were placed in the ancient times, they might not even be as good as a baby.
The ancient formation is also very different from the current formation. It is precisely because the principles, mysteries, and ideas are so different that many formation masters have difficulty deciphering the ancient formation. Because in front of the ancient formation, much of their knowledge would be of no use.
Theoretically speaking, if you can understand the secrets of the ancient formation, master the principles of operation, and know how to crack it, then it doesn't matter whether you have any military experience or not.
If there is no key, I will break down the door. If it cannot be opened, I will pry the door open.
For this reason, Tianshen Palace has been collecting various knowledge about the ancient formation, its operating principles, etc. over the years. Now when it comes to understanding the ancient formation, not even the Qijue Sect may know more than they do.
This can also understand why those disciples of Tianshen Palace bought this ancient formation mind explanation. It's just that they probably found it on the way, so they didn't have that much money, so they didn't expect that the other party would ask for such a high price.
At this moment, Tang Jie opened it and took a closer look. He saw that there were three ancient formations recorded on it. Therefore, the whole book was divided into three parts. Each part was about the process and feelings of deciphering an ancient formation.
Although the cultivator only cracked one of the three ancient formations, and the remaining two failed, he also recorded the situation at that time, how far the formation was cracked, and why they failed.
From a reference point of view, this was of great help to Tang Jie in deciphering the Nine Jue Immortal Killing Formation. After all, he didn't know what he would face after entering Shifang Valley.
I didn't expect to encounter such a good thing when I first arrived in Hongmei City. Tang Jie laughed softly.
Testment or adventure?
Coincidence or conspiracy?
Tang Jie doesn’t know.
But he knew that if this was bait, then at least the bait was indeed very fragrant, so fragrant that he couldn't help but be tempted.
Holding it in his hand, Tang Jie said after a while: "This thing is good, but it's a little off. I'm interested in the battle method, but it's impossible for me to buy it with three thousand dollars."
The old farmer chuckled and said: "These three thousand dollars are just a price. If you really want it, I can give it to you cheaply. How about I charge you two thousand five hundred?"
Tang Jie smiled and said: "You are really crazy about money. How many ancient formations do you think there are in the world now? Besides, if they really exist, can you definitely break it with this thing? That's right? Not necessarily. Studying it will not be of any benefit to the current formation. Two thousand five... I will give you two hundred and five, which is more or less. ~IndoMTL.com~ The old farmer was also anxious: "What the young master said, there are three ancient formations up here after all. Exploring the secret experience. As you said, ancient formations are hard to find, and ordinary people may not come across one ancient formation in their lifetime, let alone three. ”
He was also anxious and would say anything for the sake of promotion, but Tang Jie's eyes flashed as he listened.
He chuckled and said: "In that case, let's pay one hundred yuan for an ancient formation. I will give you three hundred yuan. If you are willing to sell it, then sell it. If you are not willing to sell it, I will leave."
With that said, he made a gesture to leave.
The old farmer was very anxious when he saw this: "Sell it, sell it, just sell it to you!"
Tang Jie left three hundred coins, took the book and left.
Seeing Tang Jie take the book and leave, the old farmer's anxious expression gradually calmed down, and he said as if talking to himself: "He bought the book, but he seemed a little suspicious. He paid three hundred dollars It should be to test me. If I am a real seller, I should not agree to such a low price. Especially when I had a big quarrel with the Tianshen Palace disciples over three thousand dollars before, and now it has dropped to three hundred. This is too unreasonable! Sir, I always feel that you asked me to agree too early, and now I'm afraid it will deepen his suspicion."
"It's okay to have doubts. It's a good thing to have doubts." A voice sounded leisurely: "If he is innocent, why do you need to doubt? Only because there is a ghost in your heart, you will be suspicious. That's why we say he is Tang Jie The possibility, originally maybe 80%, is now 99%!"
The old farmer suddenly realized: "So that's it, sir, you are wise! Tang Jie would never have thought that what we want is his suspicion."
"No. It doesn't matter whether he is fooled or not. What matters is whether he has the courage to do what he wants to do. Now it seems that at least this person still has great courage. Even if he knows he is a bait , he dares to swallow it... That’s good, that’s good!”
"Then let's..."
"Give him more opportunities."
