Chronicles of Celestial Origins

He Xin said: "I know that the seniors and others are coming to Chigan Ridge, and the juniors are here to pay homage to me, and invite the seniors and others to the banquet on behalf of the head of our family."

"Is your He family managing Chigan Ridge?" Tangning asked. Before coming here, he only knew that Chigan Ridge was to the west of Longyou, but didn't know its specific location. Naturally, he didn't know who was managing it.

Longyou is adjacent to Qinchuan and is located in the northwest of Chu State. This Chigan Mountain produces red copper fluid, which looks like ore but is actually like liquid. The ore is broken open, and the yellow crystalline object wrapped in it melts into red copper liquid, which is one of the essential materials for making spiritual talismans. One pound of red copper liquid is worth one hundred spirit stones on the market.

"Yes, this place has been managed by the junior family for hundreds of years. In recent years, the Demon Sect has been raging, and the Corpse Puppet Sect has been spying on it for a long time. I will be relieved when the noble sect comes."

"Go and report back to your family master. Forget about the banquet. We are here to guard against the invasion of the Corpse Puppet Sect. There is nothing left to ask about. Everything is the same as before. You are still doing your job. Let those who are secular diggers not be surprised, just Just stay away from this formation.”

"Yes, I understand, junior. If you have any instructions, senior, please inform us. I'll take my leave," said the congratulatory letter, and drove away with the flying sword.

Tangning returned to the formation and came to the side of everyone.

"Junior brother Tang, what's going on?"

"The local cultivating family didn't know what we were doing here and invited us to a banquet. I declined."

Xie Lang nodded and said: "Junior Brother Tang, we have just discussed it briefly and want to build a sentry post every ten miles forward until forty miles away to observe the movements of the Corpse Puppet Sect. If there is any abnormal movement, we will raise fireworks as a signal. You What do you think?"

Tangning naturally had no objection.

Xie Lang continued: "We each manage the disciples in our headquarters. The sentry disciples are still in rotation. There are two sentry posts, four sentry posts outside, plus two guard disciples in the sound transmission array, exactly ten people, changing every month. Let's start with Starting from my disciples, I will take care of the central array of the Bagua Integrated Formation, and we will take turns to look at the sound transmission array."

"For the remaining forty disciples, each junior brother will divide his division into two teams, a total of eight teams. If the Demon Sect attacks from all sides and attacks the eight corners of our formation, each team can hold one corner."

Everyone nodded in agreement and went back to their headquarters to convey the message to their disciples.

In the next few days, everyone built wooden houses within the formation and used their respective departments as camps.

Tang Ning and the disciples from the Intelligence Department were in the east of the formation.

Yang Feifan and his Hushanke disciples are in the west of the formation.

Zhou Tao and his security department disciples are in Nan.

Wang Tianyu and his disciples from the Bingzhan Department are in the north.

Xie Lang led his disciples from the Qingxuan Hall to the center, and built a thirty-foot-high tower outward as a sentry, and sent his disciples to guard the palace to observe the movements of the Corpse Puppet Sect.

Tang Ning sat cross-legged in a stone room to practice Qi. His stone room was a hundred feet away from the disciples' rooms. The other disciples' rooms were arranged in rows and lived next to each other, but he built a stone room alone.

This is Xie Lang's intention, to let the Qi Refining disciples live next to each other. If there is an emergency, they can quickly gather to counterattack. Of course, the Foundation Establishment monks have certain privileges and do not need to be crowded with the disciples below.

"Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang." Several loud crashing sounds spread to every corner of the formation.

Tangning suddenly opened her eyes, and in a flash she disappeared from the room.

"The enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking, gather together." Xie Lang shouted loudly, and his voice was supplemented with spiritual power and spread far away.

The disciples from the Intelligence Department hurried out of the room. Tang Ning came to them and said, "Let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person turned into light and left. Everyone took up their magic weapons and gathered at the formation altar where Xie Lang was.

Not long after, everyone arrived at the formation altar and assembled.

"Xie Senior Brother, what's going on? The Corpse Puppet Sect is calling?"

"The sentry post in front sent out a signal just now. It is expected that the movement of the Corpse Puppet Sect has been discovered." Xie Lang said: "All the disciples are preparing to attack the Demon Sect."

Everyone took out their Xuanling Crossbows and divided them into eight teams with five people in each team according to the previous deployment. Before arriving, the sect issued twenty Xuanling crossbows to each of the four frontline teams in preparation for the Demon Sect's invasion.

"Junior Brother Wang, go and inform the main camp immediately that there are Corpse Puppet Sect monks attacking the place where I am stationed." Xie Lang handed over the central array of the sound transmission array to Wang Tianyu. He was supposed to be guarding the sound transmission array this month, but At this moment, the Demon Sect was attacking. He was the backbone and naturally had to follow the large army, so Wang Tianyu was sent to inform the main camp.

"Yes." Wang Tianyu took the formation plate and left in response.

"Disciples, follow me to fight against the Demon Sect." Xie Lang led everyone straight out of the formation and stood in front of the formation. All the disciples lined up and waited with bated breath.

Not long after, two men wearing Qian Yizong costumes came with swords and landed in front of everyone. They were disciples of the Ren Tiao Department who were guarding the sentry post.

The two of them were closest to the camp, so they hurried over after sending out the fireworks signal.

"Thank you, Uncle Master." The two of them saluted Xie Lang.

Xie Lang quickly asked: "What's the situation? How many people from the Demon Sect are here."

Everyone listened attentively.

"The disciples only saw a sky full of fireworks in front of them, but no Corpse Puppet Sect disciples." One person answered.

"You two return to the team! Prepare to face the Corpse Puppet Sect."

"Yes." The two responded

After a while, two more disciples came with their magic weapons.

"Can you see how many people the Corpse Puppet Sect has come to?"

"This disciple never saw the Corpse Puppet Sect disciples. He only saw fireworks in front of him, so he sent out a signal."

"Return to the team!"

"yes."

After another time when the cup of tea was not available, two disciples came. They still didn't see the number of disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect, only the signal.

Finally the last two disciples arrived, and Xie Lang asked them about their situation.

The man said: "The disciple saw from a distance that there were about twenty or thirty people walking with swords in the Corpse Puppet Sect's formation. Among them, there were a few escaping lights walking faster. The disciple quickly raised the signal, fearing that the Corpse Puppet Sect would The monks caught up with us, so they didn't dare to go straight, so they took a detour and wasted some time."

Xie Lang frowned slightly: "Are you sure there are only ten or twenty people?"

"The disciples only vaguely saw a dozen or twenty figures. It is unknown whether any subsequent monks will join the disciples."

"Thank you, senior brother, it's impossible for just ten or twenty people to break through our formation. We're just here to die! The Corpse Puppet Sect is not a fool. I think either he has people behind him, or there is a golden elixir hidden in this group of people. Monk, you want to catch me off guard," Wang Tianyu said next to him.

Xie Lang nodded and said: "If there are any Golden Core cultivators, we will immediately retreat to the formation. What will the camp say?"

"I have told them about the situation. The Corpse Puppet Sect is attacking. The main camp has sent a team and ordered nearby camp teams to support us. We are asked to keep in touch with them at any time and report new situations."

"Junior brothers, if the Demon Sect comes to challenge us later, we must not be willing to fight in case we are ambushed."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After waiting for a long time, no Corpse Puppet Sect was seen attacking. Zhou Tao asked doubtfully: "Why haven't the disciples of the Demon Sect arrived yet? It's only a hundred miles away, so they should have arrived by now."

Xie Lang remained silent, and everyone waited for a long time, but still no Corpse Puppet Sect disciple was seen.

"Let's do it! How about I go and find out?" Zhou Tao said

"Be careful."

Zhou Taohua fled away from the light and came back not long after.

"How is it?" Xie Lang asked quickly

"I saw a group of monks from a distance, fifty or sixty miles away from us, and they seemed to have set up sentry posts on the top of the mountain."

"What?" Xie Lang couldn't believe it. The other party mobilized troops just to set up sentry posts?

But the problem is, I have already reported to the camp, and now the supporting troops are on the way, but it turns out that the Demon Sect is just setting up sentry posts?

If this spreads out, you won’t be able to save your face!

"I'll go check it out." Xie Lang said and turned into light and left.

After everyone waited for a while, they saw him come back out of the light and fall beside them, with a dark face and a very ugly look.

"The Demon Sect is indeed setting up sentry posts."

Tangning and others also turned into light and rose up. After walking for dozens of miles, they could faintly see a group of people as big as ants busy in the sky.

The few people flew forward for another twenty or thirty miles, and then they saw clearly that a sentry post was indeed being set up. They looked at each other in disbelief, and their expressions were not very good-looking. They had lost a lot of face this time!

With five foundation-building monks and fifty elite Qi-refining disciples on our side, we had enough elite soldiers. We also had the Bagua One Formation as a barrier. As a result, the other party sent out dozens of hairy men to build a sentry post and then put them to death. There was a lot of panic here, and people were hurriedly asking for help.

this……

Several people looked at me and I looked at you, relatively speechless.

It seems that the Corpse Puppet Sect was also afraid of Xuanmen attacking them. Seeing such a large formation unfolding here, they even sent out sentries in a serious manner. They would be at a disadvantage, so they also built sentries.

They were also afraid that Xuanmen would attack their disciples who were setting up sentry posts, so they mobilized troops and sent more than 20 people to accompany them.

Several people returned to the formation, speechless for a moment, and the atmosphere was slightly cold.

"Should we report to the camp? Tell them not to send anyone over."

"I asked Junior Brother Wang to report just now. The camp said that the team had already set off for a while, and now they can't be contacted."

Wang Tianyu said angrily: "It's better to take advantage of this opportunity to attack them. Even if we can't capture their formation, we can still dampen their vigor."

Xie Lang shook his head: "The sect only ordered us to guard against the invasion of the demon sect. Without the order from above, we cannot act without permission."

He was also very annoyed in his heart. As a well-known figure in the sect, both reputation and strength were enough to stand alone.

But he was confused and panicked by dozens of thieves. He could imagine that this matter would definitely become a joke in the sect, and as the core figure of this team, he would inevitably be mentioned.

If you say build a sentry post, then build a sentry post! Why did you mobilize so many troops? It was just a sentry post, but more than 20 people were dispatched. Can this not be misunderstood?

Zhou Tao said: "Thank you, senior brother. Since there is no war, let the disciples go back! It's like facing a formidable enemy. We won't laugh when other teams arrive later."

Xie Lang nodded and ordered his disciples to go back to the camp, leaving only a few people waiting outside the camp for support.

About a quarter of an hour later, the first rescue team arrived. Three rays of light came from the southeast and landed in front of a few people.
