Brother is also a high-risk occupation

The center of the main island of Yingzhou Island is covered by a forest. There are not many houses scattered around the forest, and outside is the beach next to the sea.

The only way to enter the forest was a small path that had been stepped on for many years. The path was so narrow that Zhou Yan and the three of them could not even walk side by side, and could only stagger forward and backward.

Although the forest is not big, he only walked on two legs and walked for nearly two hours. Kai Lang walked in the front, turning his head from time to time and saying: "Brother Zhou, we will be there soon."

When he said that the sixth one was coming soon, Zhou Yan joked: "If it doesn't come again, I will suspect that you tricked me and my junior brother to kill people and throw away the corpses."

Wei Lang was taken aback, and retorted: "How could it be, how could I harm Brother Zhou?"

"I'm just kidding you." Seeing that he was a little excited, Zhou Yan tilted his head to comfort him, and said in a gentle voice, "How long will we have to go?"

"It should be here." Shen Wang, who had been walking behind, said.

After hearing this, Zhou Yan raised his head and couldn't help but hold his breath.

The path came to an abrupt end not far ahead, and merged into an empty space with a radius of five or six miles, which was quite large.It presents an extremely regular circle, surrounded by towering old trees.

As they walked along the way, the sky was completely covered by towering ancient trees. Only this place received bright sunlight, and it suddenly seemed like a land of blessings blessed by the heavens, with a sense of holiness.

Kai Lang was very familiar with this place, and continued to lead Zhou Yan and the two to the front, and introduced as he walked: "This land was opened up in this forest by the island owner with a lot of effort. If there are no accidents, We, Yingzhou Island, hold sacrificial festivals here every year."

Following him into the open space, Zhou Yan saw a small round platform set up in the center of the open space. The platform was three feet high, not big, and it looked like three or four people could stand on it.On the platform stood a wooden stake, which was completely black.Rather than a stake, a stick would be more appropriate.

Zhou Yan took a look and found that the material of the wooden pile seemed to be the same as that of the Chiying boat.

With the round platform as the center, messy lines are painted on the open space, mostly red, mixed with some black lines, spreading densely across the open space.

Kai Lang led the two of them carefully around the line and came to the basement of the round platform.

The surface of the round platform was rough, Kai Lang hugged the round platform, exerted all his strength on his feet, and climbed up the round platform within a few strokes. He greeted Zhou Yan on the round platform: "Brother Zhou, come up, you can see the formation clearly from above."

After hearing what he said, Zhou Yan went up to the round platform with Shen Zhu.

The three of them stood on the round platform and it was a bit crowded. Kai Lang held the black pillar with one hand, and the remaining half of his body leaned out of the round platform. He pointed to a place in the south with great interest and said to Zhou Yan: "Brother Zhou, look at that Over there, the top line over there was drawn by me!"

Zhou Yan followed the direction he pointed, and for the first time saw the appearance of the entire formation clearly.

With just one glance, he verified the guess he had just made in his heart.

The place where he was standing right now was the eye of the formation.

Zhou Yan's heart skipped a beat.

He glanced at Shen Wang, and happened to meet Shen Wang looking at him too, just looking at each other, Zhou Yan understood that Shen Wang had the same doubts as him at this time.

Formation and the like, if it is used to pray for blessings, there is no need to set up formation eyes.

Kai Lang was still looking at him expectantly, Zhou Yan stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, and said with a smile: "You draw very well, those two places of yours are just the small eyes of this formation, and your brushwork is smooth , after activating this formation, the spiritual power can also be connected and run smoothly."

He praised people for their sincerity, and Kai Lang's eyes twinkled when he praised him. He hugged the pillar with both arms, showing a happy and shy smile: "Brother Zhou, I will definitely work harder next time."

"It's already very good," Zhou Yan said with a smile, "May I ask, are the formations of the sacrificial festivals on Yingzhou Island like this in previous years?"

Wei Lang nodded: "Yes, it is the same as this formation in previous years."

He pointed to the pillar that he was holding in his arms: "It has been there since the Sacrifice Festival, and it has been used until now."

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "I understand."

Maybe he was wrong, the formation is the most unpredictable, he has been in seclusion for more than 200 years, maybe the human way really has a blessing formation with formations.

After straightening out this point, Zhou Yan re-examined the formation with the eyes of the prayer formation. The first time he saw the blessing formation with formation eyes, he couldn't help but feel curious.

Tong Guangzong, as the most powerful sect in Lingzhou, also has a dedicated formation peak, and his master Xie Changqing is famous in the Thirteen Continents. Apart from his stunning sword, he also has his own system in the formation. Zhou Yan is his great master. Disciple, naturally there is no shortage of guidance in the way of formation, and he has always had some talent.

Now that he encountered a formation that he had never seen before, he naturally became very curious.

But he looked at the formation carefully, and didn't feel like he frowned.

Although he had made a presupposition in his heart that this was a blessing formation, the red and black lines intertwined in this formation was extremely complicated, and it didn't look like a blessing formation at all.

Zhou Yan re-engraved the formation in his mind after reading it once. As he sketched out the formation in his mind, what he felt was not the peaceful meaning of praying for blessings, but the killing that came rushing towards his face. The spirit of cutting.

But this obviously cannot be said here.

Pressing his doubts to the bottom of his heart, Zhou Yan smiled at Kai Lang and said, "Can I go and see the little eye you drew?"

Kai Lang nodded hurriedly: "Of course!"

Zhou Yan followed him down the round platform and came to the eye of the formation he had drawn.

That is a small formation eye in the south, which is used to gather spiritual power, but it is just an ordinary one of the dozen or so small formation eyes in this formation.

Zhou Yan lifted his robe and squatted down in front of the formation.

He stretched out his fingertips and traced along the red line drawn by Kai Lang, and the white and soft fingertips finally stopped in one place.

The heart of a small array of eyes.

Kai Lang looked at Zhou Yan from the side, and then at his hands, and when he saw him stop, he asked, "Brother Zhou, is there something wrong here?"

"No, you draw very well." Zhou Yan lowered his eyebrows, moved his fingertips, and injected a little spiritual power into the center of the array.

The world stopped abruptly at this moment, even the floating dust in the sunlight froze in place, and the surrounding forest stopped for an instant.

In the next instant, a ferocious and majestic spiritual power burst out from the formation, and the surrounding air trembled with the spiritual power, and the surrounding ancient trees shook crazily as if encountering a typhoon.

Countless leaves were pulled away from the canopy and flew towards Zhou Yan like a knife.

Zhou Yan clenched his jaw, and with a buzzing sound from the Sun-burning Sword on his wrist, it flew away from his wrist. The blade stretched, and the straight sword lay in front of Zhou Yan and the three of them, shining fiercely like a silver dragon.

His expression didn't change, he just snorted softly: "Quiet."

His voice was not very high, but with this quiet word that was neither high nor low, everything really quieted down, and the leaves that flew over like blades stopped attacking, and fell softly and swirling to the soft ground. in the dirt.

There was only a rustling sound.

And the array under Zhou Yan's fingertips seemed to move twice, like a trapped animal being locked by chains, and roared ferociously twice, but in the face of the irresistible force, he finally chose to crawl quietly in the cage.

The accident happened in an instant, after Zhou Yan got up, Kai Lang realized what had happened.He panicked for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to approach Zhou Yan to explain to him.

But a sword blocked the way.

Shen Zhuang stood in front of Zhou Yan with a horizontal sword, staring at him for a moment. In the boy's emotionless eyes, Kai Lang seemed to be a dead body.

He wrinkled his nose and went to look at Zhou Yan, his mouth full of flustered incomprehension: "Brother Zhou... no... I didn't know it would be like this..."

The sword lying in front of him still hasn't been taken away.

"Put down the sword, it's not about the formation." Zhou Yan stretched out his hand and patted Shen Wang's shoulder. His fingertips that touched the formation were cut at some point, and the dark red blood flowed down the fingertips, like an opening. Red plums in the snow.

He raised his head and smiled at Kai Lang: "My junior brother has a bit of a temper, please bear with me."

The moment his hand touched Shen Rong's shoulder, Shen Rong froze, and obediently withdrew the sword.

Zhou Yan bypassed Shen Wang and walked into Kai Lang. He rubbed the young man's flustered cheek with his other good hand, and said with a smile, "It's my fault. Your island master should be the master of this formation." , I inject spiritual power into the center of the formation without authorization, and I will naturally be backlashed by the formation."

Kai Lang sniffed: "Is that true?"

Zhou Yan smiled, his eyes soft: "Can I still lie to you?"

"Brother Zhou is fine as long as he is fine!" After hearing his explanation, the young man was shallow-minded, and soon became happy again, "Then let's go back, Brother Zhou is injured, and I have medicine to treat the injury at home."

At this time, Zhou Yan’s storage ring had a lot of medicines that could easily heal his injury, but in order not to make Kai Lang feel guilty, he still nodded with a smile, and the three of them followed the route when they came, that’s all. Out of the forest.

After taking the medicine from Kai Lang's house, when they returned to Grandma Wu's house, Zhou Yan and Shen Zhu happened to see Grandma Wu coming out of their room.

During the period of living at Grandma Wu's house, Grandma Wu had never entered this room. Seeing Grandma Wu come out of their house at this time, Zhou Yan couldn't help being a little surprised: "Grandma Wu is looking for something to do with me and my junior brother?"

"Didn't you go out with that kid Kui Lang?" Grandma Wu didn't answer Zhou Yan's question.

Zhou Yan said with a smile: "Something happened, so I came back first."

"Oh," she nodded, holding up the things in her arms, "I'll go get something from the house."

He was holding a bulging package in his arms, wrapped in cloth, so he couldn't see the contents clearly.

Zhou Yan didn't ask any more questions, just followed Shen Wang into the house.

After Shen Wang entered the house, he started wandering around. Zhou Yan didn't know what he was looking for, but just explained to him what happened in the forest just now: "You didn't see it at that time, whether it was praying or something, We will not pass that day, it has nothing to do with us.”

Shen Wang turned his head and glanced at him, then continued with his actions.

Seeing that Shen Wang didn't answer him, Zhou Yan didn't bother him to search there, and lowered his head to treat his wound.

Although the wound was small, it was extremely deep, and the bones inside could be seen faintly. Zhou Yan poured the medicinal powder given by Kai Lang onto the wound, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It hurts.

In the next second, he felt a shadow covering himself, and when Zhou Yan raised his eyes, he saw Shen Zhu squatting in front of him.

The boy stretched out his hand and dragged his fingers to his leg, lowered his head and blew away the powder on the wound in a blink of an eye.

He took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and opened it, dug a little of the white ointment inside with his fingers, and touched Zhou Yan's wound little by little.

He moved carefully, but sneered on his face: "You can use it if you give it to you, and no one will collect your body after poisoning you."

Just believe what other people say, and use whatever others give you.

Shen Zhuan's heart was rampaging in his chest, he just felt that the medicine powder that Kai Lang sent would not work anywhere, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was poisoned medicine.

In short, it can't be wiped on Zhou Yan's fingers.

The stinging pain caused by the medicine powder was covered by the coolness of the ointment containing spiritual power. Zhou Yan took advantage of it, and it was rare that he didn't refute Shen Wang, so he obediently let him take the medicine.

After the medicine was finished, Shen Zhu carefully bandaged the fingertips again.

After being bandaged, Zhou Yan also took the initiative to help Shen Wang clean up the unused medicine powder and ointment scattered on the mat.

Seeing his rare obedience, Shen Wang's boiling heart calmed down again for some reason.

But Zhou Yan snorted.

The intact fingertips of his other hand stopped at a spot on the edge of the mat. There was nothing abnormal about that spot, except that along the edge, there was a faint red outline a few inches away.

If Zhou Yan hadn't been sitting here and applying the medicine, he wouldn't have found out.

Shen Wang also saw this.

He seemed to have finally found what he was looking for, and he was about to lift the mat.

Zhou Yan cooperated with him to stand up, and after Shen Wang set up the mat, both of them fell silent on the spot.

Under the mat is a formation drawn with red and black lines.

The formation densely occupied the entire room, exactly the same as what they saw in the forest.
