In the darkness, the sound of the stone mill turning was exceptionally clear, and the next moment, bits and pieces of light lit up in front of everyone's eyes, finely fragmented and somewhat erratic. Then on the pure black stone bricks on the road in front of him, there appeared a series of scorching formation lines, obviously some kind of formation was activated.
Zhou Wen'an's mind was in a mess. He could be sure that he did not make a mistake in engraving even one pattern of the formation map, and the arrangement of the formation beads was also accurate, but why was he considered an intruder who inspired the defensive formation in the tower
"Does your Jiuxuanmen's formation attack regardless of friend or foe?"
Seeing the patterns on the ground light up rapidly one by one, and the entire formation was about to be activated in a blink of an eye, Liao Gan's face turned pale instantly. Liao Gan didn't want to try the formation used to defend the Qingming Tower, no matter whether it was the most powerful or not.
When Liao Gan was panicking, Shen Changge moved in front of him.
He flew out, and his figure flew into the darkness where the pattern was lit up. The folding fan in his hand flew out like thunder in mid-air, and some kind of poison flew out, splitting in the air. Counting, they accurately landed on the nodes of the array that lit up in front of everyone.
Everyone could only hear a stinging sound of corrosion, and faint white smoke rose from a dozen directions on the ground.
— Before the formation was fully activated, Shen Changge took the lead and destroyed several nodes of the formation with poison.
Two-thirds of the formation that was bright was slowly extinguished, and the space in the tower in front of it returned to darkness. Shen Changge landed on the ground with a puzzled expression on his face - it was too easy. Even if the formation has not been fully activated, it still seems too easy for him to destroy the nodes so easily.
Shen Changge couldn't even use the budgetary back trick.
"It's kind of weird."
Shen Changge looked around and said. The sound of the stone mill turning in everyone's ears continued to ring, and the dots of light flickering in the darkness flickered on and off.
Jun Wanbai waved his hand and asked all the disciples of Jiuxuanmen to light the torches, and the flames blazed up, illuminating a small space at the entrance of Qingming Pagoda. Shen Changge stood a little further away from them. In front of Shen Changge was a huge formation hidden under the black stone.
It wasn't until the fire was lit that everyone understood why Shen Changge was able to destroy the nodes of the array so easily.
Because most of this array has been incomplete.
Like the ancient runes engraved on the tower, the defensive formation engraved in the black stone was also slowly worn away by an unknown force. The lines have become very shallow, with many breaks in the middle. Ye Qiusheng took a few steps forward, and recognized that it was a soul-controlling array that would form like a thousand troops and horses galloping out once it was activated. This kind of array normally moves so fast that it is impossible to cut it off halfway.
——This incomplete array either runs halfway and is automatically extinguished because it is incomplete, or the power that is running cannot form a complete circuit and explodes.
Ye Qiusheng glanced at Shen Changge thoughtfully.
Shen Changge's few blows just now destroyed the center of spiritual flow, obviously he is very familiar with the formation. But before that, he had dealt with Shen Changge many times, and the one surnamed Shen had never shown any proficiency in formation.
Jiuxuanmen, Jiuxuanmen.
Ye Qiusheng sneered in his heart, as expected of Jiuxuanmen, the number one of the Eight Immortal Sects, there is no simple role.
Bailishu, who had not moved much after the defensive formation was lit up, raised his head slightly, looking at the top of the tower, which was so high from the ground. The topmost floor of the ninety-nine-story Qingming Pagoda is the only light-filled place in the pagoda. In normal times, the skylight will shine from there, mixing with the light of the stars hovering in the pagoda to illuminate the pagoda.
But at this moment, the place on the top where the light should have been transparent was dark.
The whole tower is extremely oppressive.
When everyone lit the torches, Zhou Wen'an walked a certain distance inward to see the twinkling light closest to him, which was the spirit stone inlaid on the inscription on the tower pillar. But the spirit stone, which is usually dazzlingly bright, now has a weak light, flickering, like a candle that may be extinguished at any time.
Zhou Wen'an never thought that the Qingming Pagoda would be so dark one day.
He touched a spirit stone that was as dim as a firefly, and remembered the brother who complained about how bright it was when he changed the spirit stone not long ago. He panted heavily and oppressedly, and firmly grasped the icy column.
Liao Gan looked left and right for a while, and finally walked carefully through the unknown formation and walked to Zhou Wen'an's side.
"The five elements are already messed up."
Baili Shushu said softly.
He stared at the pitch-black, wide space inside the tower. Qingming Pagoda retains the huge and magnificent architectural style of the Chaos Era and the gorgeous and complicated decoration style of the Ten Thousand Immortals Era. The area of the first floor is already close to a small town.
- The five elements have been messed up.
Hearing Baili Shu's words, everyone stopped their movements, and understood why Zhou Wen'an, who had repaired and opened the stone gate according to the original formation plan, still triggered the defensive formation in the tower. The power of space and stars accumulated in the Qingming Pagoda after a long period of time spread out, even affecting the Yin-Yang boundary of the entire Bingzhou City. The impact on the tower will naturally be greater.
Formation is originally a means to mobilize the aura of the five elements of heaven and earth, and when the five elements are disordered, the formation will naturally not be able to operate according to the original trajectory.
Baili Shu took out the Golden Crow Longbow, as if it was in the ground of Lingxing Temple, put on a long arrow coated with bright oil, and shot it in several directions inside the Qingming Pagoda.
The bright arrow burned up and turned into a ball of flowing fire, but it couldn't illuminate the space inside Qingming Pagoda like it did at the bottom of Yanmen. They quickly disappeared into the darkness, as if swallowed by something.
—The space here is almost distorted.
Bailishu lowered his eyes, not disappointed, and signaled everyone not to go straight into the center of the tower where the space and star power originally operated, and followed him to check around the ring-shaped tower.
Ye Qiusheng had been paying attention to Bailishu's actions, thinking quickly in his mind. The Zhoutian astrology engraved in Qingming Pagoda is divided into ninety-nine floors. Mutually.
The location of the core energy movement inside each Qingming Tower is an absolute secret, and no one else knows except the head and the elder who guards the tower. Therefore, if they want to find out what happened to the Qingming Pagoda, they must first find out the positions that represent the celestial and earth phenomena.
But…
As the person in charge of the Jiuxuanmen operation this time, Bailishu...does he really not know the positions of the celestial phenomena and the terrestrial phenomena
Ye Qiusheng vaguely felt something vague.
Bailishu, what are you guarding against!
