South of Xia Kingdom, in a dense forest on the border with Ning Kingdom.
It’s approaching early summer, and the forest is already a bit hot. From time to time, the calls of insects and birds keep ringing in the forest. They call and call, and the sound of the birds suddenly changes, and groups of birds seem to be affected. Surprised, it suddenly flew up and scattered away.
There was no sound of footsteps, but a group of people appeared in the forest.
Walking among the group of people was Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan's face was a little gloomy, and his eyes were faintly blue: "What time is it?"
"Back to the master, it's time."
Seeing that Luo Qingyan frowned, the hidden guard went on to say: "We have been walking in this forest for three full days, but we haven't walked out of this forest yet. Could it be that the news that the hidden stake gave us earlier Is it fake?"
"No." Luo Qingyan shook his head, with a firm expression on his face: "That hidden pile was planted by me many years ago when I was King Jing of Ningguo in Ningguo. I held his deadly handle in my hand, and he secretly helped me Apart from me and him, there is no third person who knows what to do. And I have secretly arranged people to keep an eye on his movements, not one, he will have no problems."
The dark guard frowned: "However, we clearly saw on the map that this forest is only that big, and we have always used the growth rings on the trees, the trunk, and the growth of vegetation to distinguish the direction. , all the way to the north. If the direction is right, we can walk out of this forest in two days."
Luo Qingyan raised his hand, and the group stopped.
Luo Qingyan's eyes fell on the tree trunk beside him, and he raised his head to look at the direction of the sun in the sky through the gap between the leaves, walked to a tree stump and sat down: "There is only one possibility that makes sense. gone."
"We are afraid that we are trapped in the formation set up by others. We have been taking detours and taking repeated paths."
The dark guard who was beside Luo Qingyan looked at each other in blank dismay.
"I was careless." Luo Qingyan raised his hand and rubbed his forehead: "I haven't been on the battlefield for a few years, and I don't have a chance to meet these formations. I'm a little slack, and I didn't react for a while."
Although the hidden guards who followed Luo Qingyan were highly skilled in martial arts, and most of them had their own strengths, they didn't need to fight on the battlefield after all, and most of them only had a superficial understanding of how to fight, and they didn't think about it at all.
Trapped in the formation
A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the dark guard, and just as he was about to ask, Luo Qingyan had already picked up a branch beside him, and then he brushed away the thick, rotten leaves on the ground with his feet, and used the branch to rub the Drawing on the ground.
Even though the hidden guard didn't know much about the formation, it could be seen that what Luo Qingyan drew was a formation.
Some dark guards who are a little more proficient in the formation have already seen some tricks: "This is... the enchanted formation?"
After finishing speaking, he came to his senses: "That's right, the only way to trap us here without finding an exit for three days and three nights is probably the only one."
"But master, we're trapped in here now, so it's hard to find the formation, right?"
Luo Qingyan casually glanced at the picture of the ecstasy formation that he had drawn: "To set up the ecstasy formation, you need something to confuse the people in the formation. Most of the formations are made of stones, but in this mountain, there are no piles of them. Neat stones, there are... trees."
"The most indispensable thing in the forest is the tree, so we didn't realize that we were caught in the formation." Luo Qingyan pointed to the formation that he had drawn with a branch: "If you want to build the enchantment formation, you must These trees are connected into a line, enclosing us layer by layer, we thought we were going further north, but in fact we were just going around in circles.”
"It's not too difficult to break the formation." Luo Qingyan raised his eyes: "We have seen some trees that point differently from other trees on the way before, but we follow the principle of the minority obeying the majority. , ignore those."
"Now, let's connect these so-called different numbers with lines, and connect them together in a unified way. I think that these different numbers should be just a part of the enchanted array. As long as a small part is connected, I will You can complete this formation, and then find the eye of the formation, find the door of life and death, and find the way to break the formation."
"Use... thread?" The dark guard's face was full of confusion: "We are trapped in this forest now, where can we find trees?"
Luo Qingyan heard the words, hooked the corners of his mouth, raised his hand and pointed to the vines hanging from the big tree beside him: "The most indispensable thing in this dense forest is this thing."
"Hurry up." Luo Qingyan pursed his lips tightly: "We have to get out of this dense forest as soon as possible, and we can't be trapped in it forever. The poison on Chengye's body can't last long. I have to Find a way to receive Gu poison as soon as possible... "
"yes."
The dark guard moved quickly, and soon formed several lines.
Luo Qingyan stared fixedly at his formation on the ground, then at the lines, and quickly circled a small area with branches in his hands: "Our location should be here."
Luo Qingyan was not in a hurry to ask the dark guard to complete the rest with vines, but squinted his eyes, and drew a few dots on the formation: "Here is the eye of this formation, here is the eye of the formation." , is the gate of life, here is the gate of death, we are now, here... in Dumen... "
"It's not too far from the Shengmen." Luo Qingyan pushed his cheeks: "Then, you only need to make up this part, and you can break the formation."
"But, it's getting dark soon." Luo Qingyan raised his eyes to look at the sky: "No one knows if there will be other clues to this formation, and if there will be any changes after dark."
"Ecstasy formation, as long as a few trees are changed, it will be a different formation. If the lines are drawn with vines, the time may not be enough."
Hearing what Luo Qingyan said, the dark guards looked at each other, and only one of them stepped forward and said, "Then master, is there any way to quickly break through the formation?"
Luo Qingyan tapped the branch in his hand lightly: "It's not that there is no way..."
"Write down and complete this ecstasy array in your mind, calculate in your mind how to move forward, and make sure you are walking right as you go."
"This method cannot be guaranteed to be foolproof, but it is the fastest method."
As soon as Luo Qingyan said these words, the hidden guard standing beside him suddenly fell silent.
Luo Qingyan sat on the spot and pondered for a while, then hooked the corners of his mouth, threw the branch in his hand aside, and stood up: "That's the only way, then... just take a gamble."
