Chapter 781 Breaking the Formation
"Master, what should we do now?" Seeing this, Gu Yuanya knew that there was nothing Tangning could do about it, so she asked.

"From the perspective of the power of this formation, it is at least a Tier [-] large formation. Even if it has been in disrepair for a long time, the internal damage has greatly reduced its power, but it is not something that a master can break through. Such a strong attack cannot break the formation. If we can find the weak point of this formation, there is still a possibility."

"Then are we going to find someone who understands formations?"

Tangning pondered for a while, "Let's go!"

The two walked out of the cave, Gu Yuanya said: "Master, why don't you go find someone, I'll watch here."

"What's the use of watching it here? Could it be that it will collapse by itself?"

"I'm worried about being discovered by others."

"Stop talking nonsense, if someone finds out, how can you stop it? You think this is the land under the jurisdiction of Qianyi."

"That's right! Master, who are you going to find! Do you know a monk who understands formations?"

"Aren't there many monks who understand formations? Go to any sect and find a disciple of the formation flag department, don't they all understand formations? The key is to find someone who is trustworthy and who knows the basics."

"Master, how about we don't need to find someone anymore, how about breaking this formation when you succeed in conceiving a baby? In case there is a good treasure hidden in it, if we ask others to help, we will share a share with them."

"You're talking nonsense again. Do you think the birth of a baby is to drink water and eat? Even if there is such a day, I don't know how many years later. This big formation has been in disrepair for many years, and the interior is seriously damaged. Didn't you pass by by chance that day and saw the big formation?" Did the light of spiritual power coming out of the loose structure find this place? It’s hard to say when the light of spiritual power will come out again and be discovered.”

"Master, do you have a reliable candidate?"

"The one who came to Qianyuan City with my teacher this time is also a disciple of Taixuanzong. He should be trustworthy and can cooperate with him. I think he should know many monks who understand formations."

"Oh! By the way, master, where do you work now?"

Tang Ning said, "At the Taixuanzong's office in Xuantang City, do you still remember the Fengling boat that escorted us when we evacuated from Qinghai? Its captain is Fang Dasheng, the current head of Taixuanzong's stationed in Xuantang City."

"He has a little friendship with senior Bai Jintang, so he will be transferred from Yuanxian County as a teacher. This time, his apprentice Xu Mengyuan will come to Qianyuan City with him as a teacher."

"Senior Fang also promised to arrange an errand for you in Xuantang City."

"Really?" Gu Yuanya was overjoyed: "I can also join Taixuanzong like the master?"

"How can there be such a good thing? Joining Taixuanzong is so easy. I will find you an errand, but let you take a position in the industry under the office, just like the helper of casual cultivators recruited by the intelligence station."

"Then I will help out with the master, and I won't go to other places."

"You have a lot of qualifications. Do you think that this is working for the Yizong, and you can go wherever you want? When you arrive in Xuantang City, you must obey the instructions of Senior Fang. If he transfers you to other positions, you should go obediently. If you want to go to Xuantang City If there is a chance, let’s see if I can think of a way to join Taixuanzong and become a formal disciple.”

"Oh." Gu Yuanya bowed his head in response. The two masters walked and chatted. They walked out of the cave, and the light rose, all the way back to Tianyuting City. Tangning went to Wutong Pavilion to book a ticket to Qianyuan City. ferry ticket.That night they set off on a merchant ship and arrived at Qianyuan City a few days later.

Inside the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce Inn, Xu Mengyuan was sitting upright in the exclusive practice room made of soundproof stones and closed his eyes to practice. Suddenly, there was a sound of wind chimes, and he suddenly opened his eyes, got up and opened the stone door.

But seeing Tang Ning standing upright at the head of the Wai Ji and saluting, "Senior Brother Xu, I'm sorry for bothering you."

Xu Mengyuan Jishou returned the gift: "Junior brother Tang is back, let the apprentice bring it!"

"The villain is still waiting in the Tianyu Pavilion. I have come to find Senior Brother Xu this time because I have other important matters."

"Oh? What's wrong with Junior Brother Tang?"

The two sat down one after another. Tangning said, "I don't know if Senior Brother Xu knows a monk who is proficient in formations. I need to find someone I can trust."

"Why is Junior Brother Tang looking for a monk who is proficient in formations?"

"To be honest, the villains found a secret place in the Tianyu Pavilion. There is a large formation guarding it. I have already visited the former. Although this formation has been in disrepair for a long time, the remaining power still exists. At least it is a fourth-level formation. A large defensive formation. I don't know the formation method, and I can't break through this large formation with my own strength. I am not familiar with this place, so I came to ask Senior Brother Xu for help."

Xu Mengyuan smiled when he heard his words: "If that's the case, I'll go and have a look with Junior Brother Tang!"

"Could it be that Senior Brother Xu is proficient in formation techniques?" Tangning questioned seeing his confidence.

"I don't dare to be proficient, I just know a thing or two. Before I was transferred to the office of Xuantang City, I worked in the Zhenqi Division for more than two hundred years."

"That's great." Tangning said happily.

Going directly to Xu Mengyuan to break the formation is of course much less time-consuming and troublesome than finding other people through Xu Mengyuan.

If you find other people, then at least three people will share the rewards equally. Generally, in such matters, according to the rules of the practice world, the seer gets a share, regardless of whether you see it first or later.

As long as you participate in this matter, even if you can't do anything, you have to take a share.

Not to mention that the karst cave may be discovered by others at any time. If someone else is found, it will take a long time to go back and forth.

"When are we going? What preparations do we need?"

"Go now! That place may be discovered by others at any time."

"Okay." Xu Mengyuan replied, and the two got up and left the inn, boarded a merchant ship that departed that day, and arrived at Tianyu Pavilion a few days later.

…………

"This is Gu Yuanya, the villain. Yuan Ya, this is the senior brother Xu Mengyuan I mentioned for you and me." Tangning introduced at the top of a remote mountain.

"Junior pays respects to Senior Xu." Gu Yuanya saluted first.

Xu Mengyuan smiled and said: "I've heard that Junior Brother Tang mentioned you a long time ago. I didn't expect to give me and Junior Brother Tang such a generous gift when we met in the first day of junior high school. Junior Brother Tang, you have such a blessed disciple by your side. Brother, I envy you!"

"Seniors praise you, but juniors are ashamed."

The three of them chatted for a few words, then the light rose, and they came to the cave below the valley again.

"Senior Brother Xu, this is the big formation. There are five slightly deformed and distorted light curtains in this formation. It is expected that the interior must be severely corrupted. I attacked it for a quarter of an hour, but there is nothing I can do about it. The formation has been damaged to such an extent. The defense force is still so strong, so I guess it must be a fourth-order magic circle."

Xu Mengyuan nodded slightly, walked around the circle a few times, turned his hand over, and took out a blood-colored bead, which rose against the wind, bursting out a dazzling triangular-shaped blood-colored light, covering the northwest corner of the circle.

The light shone on the cyan light curtain, but it did not activate the defensive restraint of the large formation.

Xu Mengyuan slowly walked around the formation, and the blood-colored beads the size of a millstone hung above his head, moving slowly with him, and the light enveloped all parts of the light curtain.

As Xu Mengyuan kept changing his position, the light emitted by the blood-colored beads began to fluctuate, sometimes weak and sometimes strong, with different shapes.

From the initial triangular shape, it has changed into four-cornered, five-cornered and many other forms.

About half an hour later, Xu Mengyuan had already walked around the light curtain with the blood-colored beads on his head.

With one move in his hand, the bloody bead turned into the size of a palm and returned to his hand.

Xu Mengyuan swiped his left hand on his right hand, and poured blood onto the bead, chanting words, and saw a change on the surface of the blood bead, and many obscure rune patterns emerged, and those complex patterns were constantly changing on the surface of the blood bead like a fleeting shadow with.

After a while, many patterns disappeared one after another, and Xu Mengyuan put away the blood beads.

"Brother Xu, how are you doing? Can you break through this formation?" Tangning asked when she saw him approaching.

Xu Mengyuan said: "As I expected, it's not bad. This is the Tianxing Unity Formation, which belongs to the fourth-order middle-grade large formation. It integrates offense and defense. Generally speaking, once the fourth-order large formation is completed, the scope of influence will not be so small. The arrayer is obviously an expert, and somehow he used some method to deliberately narrow the radiation area of ​​the array, covering only a few miles around, which is technically difficult."

Tangning said, "Why did he deliberately narrow the radiation area of ​​the formation?"

Xu Mengyuan said: "As I said just now, this formation is a large formation integrating offense and defense. The radiation area of ​​the large formation is reduced, but its power will not be weakened accordingly."

"For example, if a spell of the same level is cast in a large area within a few miles and a large area with a radius of hundreds of miles, can the effect be the same?"

"There is no doubt that if it is released within a few miles, it will strike more intensively and with greater intensity."

"And the reduction of the radiation area means that it has lost its defensive aspect. Our common fourth-order large formation can cover a radius of a hundred miles. This is actually a defensive method."

"If the big formation is breached, the people in the formation can escape from the other side. The east, west, north and south sides are hundreds of miles away. If the difference in cultivation is not too big, there is no problem in escaping."

"This is the reason for reducing the radiation area of ​​the formation. It reduces the defensive aspect of the formation and increases the strike strength of the formation."

Tang Ning frowned and said, "So, aren't we in danger? This is a Tier [-] middle-rank large formation. In such a narrow area with a radius of several miles, the attack force must be very strong. We can't even avoid it. I'm afraid it will break through The outer defensive light curtain will be attacked by it."
