crossing yin and yang

The sky suddenly became dark, it seemed that even the moonlight was swallowed by the shadows of the trees, and the light from the LED lights overhead also became indistinct, no longer able to match the dense darkness.Zeng Jingxuan walked slowly in this dense forest, but she did not focus on the rugged forest path in front of her, but focused on the compass in her hand.

In the middle of Tianchi Lake, the bright red magnetic needle trembled slightly, forming a narrow swing of about fifteen degrees. During the swing, the needle sank straight down, as if being attracted by an invisible gravitational force.These two reactions are omens of great danger. The swaying of the magnetic needle is called enamel, which indicates the existence of ancient monsters and evil spirits, which may cause catastrophe. The drooping needle tip is a typical sinking needle, which represents death in vain.This plate was handed down from the Li family. Although it is not as easy to use as the original one, it is absolutely comparable in terms of power. Only such a treasure can show a little reaction under such a strong Yin Qi situation.

However, in the face of such a fierce appearance, Zeng Jingxuan's footsteps never stopped.Along the way just now, both he and Zhang Xiuqi have discovered that the situation is not right. This is an ancient battlefield, and it is reasonable for a large number of Yin soldiers to appear due to the transformation of the spiritual aperture, but these Yin soldiers should never appear in such a layered manner, like It's like being manipulated by someone. This is no longer a simple process of Yin soldiers crossing the border, but using these dead souls to form an formation.

It is impossible for Yao Wei to detect such a layout. One is that he does not go into the mountains often at night, and the other is that his spiritual vision has played a major role in avoiding many dangers in advance. Naturally, he cannot detect the Yin soldiers. The status of is not right.But it was different for the more professional Zeng Jingxuan and Zhang Xiuqi. Such obvious human traces could not be hidden from them.

With this understanding, it is naturally impossible for the two of them to let it go. It must be a very powerful formation that can affect such a large area of ​​Yin soldiers, and it may even be a certain formation eye of the spirit seizing formation. Forget it, what will happen when it is difficult to fight, so they must find this dark formation in advance, find out its root, wait until the dawn of tomorrow, and then find a way to directly break the formation.

However, since it was just an investigation, Zeng Jingxuan did not bring Yao Wei or Wei Yang with him. Without the two dragging behind, they walked a lot easier. The formation and body skills were all in line, and there was a compass pointing. Bypassed the area where Yin soldiers appeared.

After walking for about half an hour, Zeng Jingxuan stopped suddenly and stopped under a big tree. Zhang Xiuqi, who was behind him, took a step forward and said softly, "Uncle, the stake in front seems wrong."

Directly in front of the two of them, there was an inconspicuous pile in an open space. It was not thick from a distance, it was slightly bigger than the rim of a cup. Its roots were buried in the soil, and the part above the ground was about half a foot above the ground. If you don't look carefully, it is estimated that it will be mixed with the weeds next to it.

However, such an ordinary pile made both of them more vigilant. The compass in Zeng Jingxuan's hand was no longer moving, and the magnetic needle was pointing straight there as if it was broken. Occasionally, it trembled a little, as if shivering.He pondered for a moment, put the compass in his arms, and said to Zhang Xiuqi: "Let's go and have a look."

This "look" is not just walking over.Hearing this, Zhang Xiuqi did not hesitate, took out three small flags and a talisman from his arms, inserted the flag into the ground in a triangular shape, lifted his hand, and the talisman flew into the middle of the flag. " with a soft sound, the talisman paper was burnt to black ash in an instant, and the three small flags shook at the same time, emitting a little blue light.

This is a very basic sky peeping array in Taoist sects. It is generally used to test whether the road ahead is dangerous. If the flagpole is broken, you will not be able to move forward. Basically every sect will use it.However, Longhushan has made improvements in combination with its own talismans. Not only can it predict bad luck, but it can also control the power of yin and yang around it to achieve a short-term balance, which is convenient for the caster to step forward to check. .

Seeing that the formation was effective, the two stopped hesitating and walked up quickly.From a distance, it was not very clear, but when he got closer, Zeng Jingxuan realized that the pile was not actually made of wood, it was dark in color, neither gold nor jade, and there was some faint light, which looked like a section of black crystal. It's just that Mo Jing will never have such a big body, and it is even more impossible to make such a appearance with such a reckless effort.Could it be that this thing is... gloomy wood?

The situation is unknown, so you can't directly inspect it with your hands. Zeng Jingxuan can't distinguish the material of this thing for the time being, but if this thing is really a piece of gloomy wood, or even ghost wood, things will become complicated. It can't be solved by pulling out the eyes of the formation, but the root of the yin energy must be removed. There is not even a single pattern on this wooden stake. It is obvious that the talismans for absorbing yin energy have been arranged elsewhere. As long as the nearby sealing soil is dug open , something can always be found.

However, there is also a risk factor in this way. If it is those sensitive formations, as long as they touch the formation symbol, there will be a backlash immediately, and it may be too late to escape, but if you do not investigate clearly, it will be a big hidden danger. I don't know if this formation is related to the spirit seizing formation, and I'm afraid it will be a waste of time if I come back tomorrow to check it out during the day.

To check or not to check?Zeng Jingxuan hesitated for a moment, but Zhang Xiuqi squatted beside him, and shouted in a deep voice: "Uncle, look this way!"

Zeng Jingxuan cast her gaze over it immediately, and saw a bulge less than three inches in front of the wooden post. The black floating soil had not been covered, revealing something buried under the soil, which was... a bunch of hair.

Shocked all over, Zeng Jingxuan immediately sensed what was buried under the stake, it should be a newly dead person, lying flat in the shallow pit, with his mouth wide open, the black stake was wedged in his mouth.When a living person was buried shallowly, with a secluded pillar nailing his throat, Zeng Jingxuan's complexion immediately turned pale.Then the pile above could not be gloomy wood, but a piece of nightmare wood!

Legend has it that a kind of wood once sank into the underworld and was soaked in the water of Wangchuan. When this kind of wood appeared in the yang world, it would confuse the mind of evil spirits and make them forget their original purpose, just like falling into a nightmare.Therefore, this kind of wood is also called nightmare wood by Taoists, and it is one of the very few treasures that can interfere with the actions of gloomy things.In ancient times, there were also formations spawned by Nightmare Wood, and Yin Yao was one of them.

Bury a healthy adult man alive in the soil, use nightmare wood as a stake, and insert it into his throat, so that all three souls and seven souls are sealed in his body. Because the death method is extremely painful, the dead soul of this person will mistakenly think that he has not died yet. , Struggling endlessly, in this way, the gloomy air urges the power of Nightmare Wood, so that it can exert its maximum effect.With Yinmao wood as the eyes of the formation, the formation map is added around it, and the Yin soldiers blinded by the nightmare wood are driven to wander in the formation. As long as the formation eyes are not broken, this is a group of natural guards, and will not let go of any passing creatures. .

With such a big hand and such a ruthless method, it is not difficult to see how powerful the enemy they have to deal with is.Zeng Jingxuan made a decisive decision: "Let's go find the formation first. If the formation is destroyed, the effect of the Nightmare Wood will be greatly reduced. It should be easy to remove the stakes in the daytime."

This nightmare array has to be broken, but there is no way to do it at night, because the array itself includes hundreds of Yin soldiers wandering outside, acting recklessly will only make those Yin soldiers stir up trouble, and it will be difficult to deal with it at that time. Oh no.

Zhang Xiuqi also knew the seriousness, stood up without hesitation, and wanted to go out, but at this moment, the three small flags not far away suddenly made a soft "pop" sound at the same time, and the flag broke in the middle!

A gust of wind whizzed by, and following the sound, a green light suddenly lit up in the open space in the distance. Under the shadow of the light, a white face appeared in front of the two of them. Although the soldier in the thin scale armor was covered in blood and his armor was broken, he was still colder and more majestic than all the ghost soldiers he had seen before, like a general who commanded all the ghosts.The pair of skull-like pupils stared at the two of them, gradually blushing with murderous intent.

Immediately, the second, third... Countless ghost fires burned, horses neighed, swords and halberds collided, the sound became louder and louder, overwhelming the whistling wind, with a ghostly cry , this group of ghost soldiers moved and came towards the two of them!

This nightmare array is protected!

A piece of talisman flew out, Zhang Xiuqi strode forward, the Suihou sword in his hand had already plunged into the soil with a bang, but Zeng Jingxuan, who was standing beside him, turned his eyes and looked at the Yin Nightmare Wood in front of him. , These Yin soldiers can't be killed or eliminated. If you want to survive, you have to fight to the death!

No longer caring about hiding his appearance, a few chicken throats appeared in his hands somehow, and he only heard a few sounds from Duoduo, the chicken throats were pierced into Qiguan, the moonlight was covered, but the stars could use their strength, he wanted to attract the stars and break them apart The souls of the dead locked in the shadows!

Behind him, the energy of Yin and Yang collided, and there was a crisp sky breaking sound. Zeng Jingxuan bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of real saliva on the Nightmare Wood...

&&&

In the mountain depression, even the wind has disappeared. This is a treasure land of geomantic omen in the Zhengyang position, which cannot be invaded by any evil spirits, and it is also one of the safest places in the mountain forest at night.However, Yao Wei leaned on the cliff, staring at the boundless darkness in front of him with piercing eyes, not intending to fall asleep.

He couldn't sleep, not because the mountains were too scary, but because Zeng Jingxuan was still adventuring outside.He knew three times of divination, so how could he rest assured that the man would go out.It's just that my Taoism is really limited, so I'm still competent as a guide, but it's useless at all when I'm really fighting and setting up formations.

It's a pity that he, the successor of Laoshan Taoism, can't compare with a Fengshui master from Sanliao Village.Yao Wei gritted his teeth secretly, when he went back this time, he also had to study the Daoist scriptures at home!

However, he was gnashing his teeth secretly for luck, and the four small wooden blocks in front of him shook at the same time. Yao Wei sat up straight with a groan, and stared at the wood carvings intently. This is his housekeeping skill. Being able to predict most of the Yin Qi fluctuations, how could there be such a big movement all of a sudden?Brother Xuan, what happened?

Cold sweat broke out immediately, Yao Wei rushed to the mountaineering bag, opened the bag and rummaged around, and took a few things in his hands, he wanted to save those two people!However, before he was ready, the four-element formation trembled again, and the Xuanwu statue in Renshui in the north shattered into two halves with a "crack", and Yao Wei immediately froze. This movement did not come from a distance , danger, and an irresistible danger, is right around you!

But this is the Zhengyang position!What evil spirits can go to the Zhengyang position to make trouble?Yao Wei stood up slowly, firmly holding the electric shock baton in his hand, and a dozen simple incendiary bottles were at his feet. Although Taoism didn't work very well, he still prepared some spare tools.

Not far away, there was a rustling sound, like a person pushing through the dense forest, from far to near.The man's speed was so fast that it didn't look like he was walking, but more like a slithering insect. In less than half a minute, a black thing appeared in front of him.Yao Wei opened his eyes wide and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief. He was no longer a real "person". What was placed was not a human head, but a big snake head as thick as the mouth of a bowl. The triangular black snake head swayed gently as the corpse walked, and greed and gloom flashed in the green eyes.

It was a snake collar, a snake collar that took the body of a mummy unearthed from the Zhengyang position.Looking at the gliding figure with strange gait, Yao Wei clenched his teeth, and reached into his bosom with one hand, wanting to take out something more, but unlike other human helmets, the snake helmet was already opened. Mouth, a cloud of foul-smelling black gas spewed out!

This is a mountain depression, and there are only a few steps to retreat. Seeing that there is no way to avoid it, Yao Wei bit his teeth and wanted to rush out of the black mist, but before he could move, he was stunned, and saw that the ground had been damaged. A ball of white light flashed out of the four-element array, blocking out all the black air.

This is absolutely impossible!

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that the tortoise, which had been sleeping aside just now, had crawled out at some point and was lying on the water level, replacing the damaged basalt wood carving, but this lazy guy looked stronger than his own wooden formation There were too many, some black lines appeared on the reddish-brown carapace at some point, and the white light came out from the turtle's back.

The most terrifying thing about the snake is its venom and mist. As long as you can prevent these two, you still have a chance to fight!Yao Wei grinned, showing his white teeth, and rushed forward with a stride.
