The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Sitting in the room, feeling the ground shaking slightly due to the upgrade of the protective array, Xu Zhiyu smiled and felt much calmer.

After looking at the five-element formation flag placed aside and feeling the aura of exhaustion coming from the spirit of the monster, he made up his mind to take a day off today and resume arranging the formation tomorrow.

Now that time is no longer tight, he is also planning to change the number of attacks per day. The original fifty times a day must be too frequent. After thinking about it, he decided to change it to twenty times a day, so that one hundred attacks in three days is enough. Count it, anyway, now that the Fangshi Array has been upgraded, he has not received any tasks. How can such free time be wasted?

Just like this, four days passed, and he also successfully completed the advanced training of the secret method of spiritual consciousness. The coverage area of ​​his spiritual consciousness reached forty-three miles, the height of his divine soul has reached about one foot and nine inches, and the size of Zi Mansion has also increased. Becoming bigger or smaller, both of them complement each other, and the four sacred beasts guarding the Zi Mansion also become more energetic and powerful.

"My level of spiritual consciousness is now slightly higher than that of the average sixth-level cultivator of the Purple Mansion. However, the progress this time is much less than before, but it is reasonable."

After Xu Zhiyu felt it, he came to a conclusion and said to himself.

He was right. The reason why his consciousness surged last time was mainly because he practiced the advanced secret method for the first time, so the progress was very obvious. After that, there was no such big improvement.

Even if he now gathers the second-level mid-level five-element monster souls and arranges a second-level mid-level formation, the intensity of his consciousness will not change much unless he can combine the second-level mid-level, second-level After collecting all the high-grade five-element monster souls, arranging the second-order mid-grade and second-grade high-grade formations, and then practicing them, there will definitely be a significant improvement in the strength of his consciousness and the height of his soul.

But thinking about this made his head hurt. Just collecting the second-level low-level monster souls had already consumed him so much time and energy. If he wanted to collect higher-level ones, he really didn't know when he would be able to collect them all. .

"We can only take one step at a time and see what happens. This is only the second-level monster soul. As my cultivation level increases, the collection of the third-level monster soul will also be put on the agenda. It will probably be even more time-consuming and laborious. "

After realizing that he could not solve the problem for the time being, Xu Zhiyu simply didn't think about it. Instead, he stood up and walked out of the room. In his consciousness, the two monks in the east and west wing came back, and they happened to go out to inquire about the situation.

"Brother Qin, Brother Lin, you two are back. I wonder what the situation is like in the city now?"

Looking at the two people with tired faces who had already exchanged names, Xu Zhiyu raised his hands and asked.

The other two people originally wanted to go back to the room to rest. After hearing his question, they first looked at him in surprise. Then Lin Xi, surnamed Zifu, spoke, but instead of answering his question, he asked:
"Oh, doesn't Brother Xu know the situation in Fangshi?"

"It's like this. I've been in retreat these past few days. I just sensed that the Fangshi Formation seemed to have changed. I don't know anything else!"

"So that's it. Fellow Taoist Xu is so free and at ease. We've been so busy these days!"

Another person named Qin is named Zifu, and his name is Qin Ming. He has a higher cultivation level and is on the fourth level of Zifu. He has barely entered the middle stage of Zifu. When facing the two of them, he usually has a more arrogant attitude. Now he sees that he is working hard to survive. Resisting the Demon Cult, Xu Zhiyu stayed in the room all the time. He felt unhappy in his heart, so he directly spoke sarcastically.

"Oh, Xu was assigned by two real people a few days ago to perform a secret mission. After returning, he was treated in solitary confinement by Enzhun. If fellow Taoist Qin is not satisfied, you can go to the two real people and report me in person. !”

Xu Zhiyu doesn't have the habit of being hot-faced and cold-hearted. If someone criticizes him, he won't swallow his anger and will directly retort.

"you"

"Me? What's wrong with me?"

"Let's wait and see!" After saying the cruel words, Qin Ming walked directly into the room, and then closed the door fiercely, making a loud noise.

Lin Xi looked at the closed door, turned around, and said to Xu Zhiyu with a wry smile:

"Brother Xu, why are you doing this? You also know that Brother Qin has this kind of personality, so why are you doing this?"

"Brother Lin, it's not that Xu has to compete with him, but that he keeps picking on me and talking weirdly. I've had enough!"

"Oh, you, okay, then I'll go back to the room, see you later!" Lin Xi shook his head and sighed.

"Brother Lin, please stay and come to my room to talk. I haven't gotten the answer to your question just now!"

Later, under his kind invitation, Lin Xi walked into his room. He specially brought out good tea to entertain him, but this time he didn’t use Tianyi Spiritual Water, just the spiritual water commonly used to make tea, Tianyi The spiritual water was too precious, and he was reluctant to use it often.

Under Lin Xi's explanation, he learned about the changes that had taken place in the city during the past few days of his retreat.

It turns out that on the day when the array was replaced in Fangshi, many monks died in battle. When the demonic cultivators discovered something was wrong, they started a suicidal attack. For a while, the entire array was crumbling and was about to be broken.

At the last moment, Zhenren Zhao, who had a higher level of cultivation, asked Zhenren Le to replace the array disks alone, while he led nearly a hundred Zifu people in Fang City to form a large formation to fight against the demon cultivators to buy time.

"This battle was really brutal. The demon cultivators went crazy and attacked the formation mask without risking their lives. When they were stopped by our people, they would also resort to exchanging injuries for injuries. They tried every means possible. If you want to attack the formation, you will not give up until you achieve your goal.

Even more extreme, if the demon cultivator is really unable to defeat the opponent, it will resort to self-destruction. Therefore, although the number of Zifu monks we participated in the battle exceeded that of the demon cultivator, in the end we could only block the attack formation of the demon cultivator.

Originally, many monks raised objections to this meaningless act of sacrifice and asked Master Zhao to withdraw the formation first, but they were angrily rebuked by Master Zhao. Under our hard work, the formation was finally A strange change occurred, and under the leadership of Master Zhao, we retreated to the formation in time. The casualties in this battle were particularly heavy. A total of more than 20 Zifu comrades died in the battle, and more than 40 were injured. As for the dead Foundation Establishment monks, there were thousands of them, and there were countless Qi Refining monks.

However, after returning to Fangshi, Master Le gathered his magic power and announced loudly that everyone in Fangshi could hear that the protective formation in Fangshi had been upgraded to the pseudo-fifth level. When non-Nascent Soul monks could not break it, all the monks The monks who followed Zhao Zhenren into the battle cheered and cheered, and then we felt that the sacrifice was meaningful, and we also understood the good intentions of the two Zhenren. "

"At that time, I was practicing the secret method in the formation, so I didn't hear it. It's just that the difficulty of upgrading the Fangshi formation was greater than I thought. I thought it would be a matter of course, but I didn't expect to encounter such a big setback. I almost fell short.”

Xu Zhiyu thought, and at the same time he felt lucky that he succeeded, otherwise he would probably be on the way to escape now!

Lin Xi, who was originally talking with gusto, saw that he was silent and obviously thinking about the problem. He took the tea cup and took a sip before continuing:

"Brother Xu, what are you thinking about, so fascinated?"

"Oh, I didn't think about anything, I just felt sorry for the warriors who died for Fangshi. It was their sacrifice that brought about the success of Fangshi's formation upgrade. I dedicate this cup of tea to them!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Zhiyu picked up the tea cup and fell to the ground. With a sad expression on his face, he even despised himself. It was so artificial.

"Fellow Taoist Gao Yi, I think if those fellow Taoists knew something about it, they would definitely be very pleased!"

(PS: The monks who have died said that they want to live again instead of remembering!)
After Lin Xi finished speaking, he also poured out a little of the half cup of tea left in his hand, and then drank the rest in one gulp, as if he remembered something again, and then said:

"Brother Xu, when we were fighting the demon cultivator, we also discovered another strange phenomenon. I wonder if fellow Taoist would like to hear my explanation?"

"Brother Lin, please tell me if you have something to say!"

"It's like this. After the demonic cultivator launched the suicide attack, didn't we go with Zhenren Zhao to meet the enemy? I found that in the opponent's demonic cultivator camp, there were many Taoist friends that we had met before. Originally, we didn't have any Find out what's going on.

Later, Zhenren Zhao sent a message, saying that these people were monks who had broken out earlier, and now they should have defected to the Demon Cult after being arrested. Let us not be lenient, and we will not let go of the wrong ones! "

Hearing this, Xu Zhiyu understood a little, and then asked:

"Brother Lin, did you know about the breakout beforehand?"

"I know a little bit. I have lived in Weihaifang City for a short period of time and have met many Taoist friends. The night before the war, three people came to me one after another and asked me if I would follow them. We broke out together. At that time, I considered that my cultivation level was too low and I was only on the second floor of Zi Mansion. I really didn’t have much confidence that I could break through successfully, so I rejected them all.

That day on the battlefield, I met one and fought with him. He also persuaded me to join him in joining the Demon Cult. Of course, I sternly refused. At the same time, I also persuaded him to return to Fangshi, promising to follow him. The two real men begged to save him from punishment, but as soon as the man heard the names of the two real men, he went crazy and attacked me violently.

At the same time, he kept swearing and cursing the two seniors. This situation continued until the formation was successfully upgraded. When we retreated back to Fang City, it became even more obvious. It can be said that the curses were loud. "

At this point, Lin Xi fell silent and just kept drinking tea with a cup in hand. Xu Zhiyu, who had been listening attentively, finally understood the ins and outs of the whole thing.

Nothing unexpected happened to these people. They should be two real people who were specially released to attract the attention of the demon cultivator to buy time for upgrading the formation. Obviously everything they arranged was effective, but in the end the demon cultivator reacted and started He tried his best to attack the formation shield, but in the end the formation upgrade was completed.

Those monks who were released from the city in the name of breaking out of the siege may not have understood what happened when they were first captured by the demon cultivators. However, when they learned about the changes in the protective formation, it was easy to think about the causes and consequences. He could completely figure out the whole thing, and naturally understood that he and others were being used, so he broke through the defense and attacked the two real people Zhao Le with words.

Although he had thought this through clearly, Xu Zhiyu did not sympathize with those monks who failed to break out. First of all, because they had now surrendered to the Demon Cult, and the two sides had different positions.

Secondly, it is because these people made their own choice to break out. It is impossible for the two real people to force people to break out in order to upgrade the formation. It is impossible even if you think about it. This must be voluntary, but they are too unlucky to not run away and be killed. They just caught it, which can only be blamed on their bad luck.

But he didn't know if there was any other conspiracy, such as two real people adding fuel to the flames. Thinking of this, he raised his head and glanced at Lin Xi, and found that the other person was looking at him with deep meaning, and his heart moved. .

It seemed that he had the same question as me. Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyu picked up the tea cup and raised it to Lin Xi who was sitting next to him. The latter understood and raised the same question. They both looked at each other and smiled, and drank the tea happily. However, the awe in my heart for the two masters Le Zhao increased unknowingly.

In the next year, although the demonic cultivators continued to launch attacks, the most powerful one was to find a fourth-level high-grade formation-breaking talisman to destroy the protective formation in Weihaifang City, but they failed. The light mask formed by the mask has been steadily shrouding Fangshi and is indestructible.

It is said that after learning that Zhenren Le and Zhenren Zhao had upgraded the formations in Fangshi, the demon cultivator who besieged them, the leader of the demon cultivators, Min Yu Lao Mo, sent a letter of distress to the demon cultivator headquarters, but the demon cultivator headquarters only asked them to go first. Adopt a strategy of siege but not attack, and say nothing else.

The reason why the Demon Sect headquarters did this is also closely related to their current situation. It was learned that the Demon Sect, which had been quiet for a few days, suddenly launched an attack on the country of Fujian. The headquarters of the Righteous Alliance, which received the news, was Jiushi. Zong, directly dispatched dozens of Nascent Soul monks to assist the Fujian Kingdom. Although the reinforcements arrived a little late because the external transmission array of the Fujian Kingdom was destroyed, they finally arrived, and the Min Kingdom was led by the Qianyang Sect. , they fought very thoroughly and refused to surrender, which was very different from what they had expected.

The most important point is that the Yan Kingdom where they are located has also suffered a fierce attack from the Righteous Alliance. It really cannot spare many people to support Weihaifang City, so it only provides some puppets and high-grade formation-breaking talismans. , hoping to help Min Yu and the others, but these methods were still not powerful enough, and they failed to win Weihaifang City in the end.

Now a year has passed, and just when Master Le and Master Zhao are worried about the massive amount of spiritual stones consumed by the pseudo-level five formation, the situation in Fujian has finally turned for the better. (End of chapter)
