Chapter 21 Thirty-six Formations
The army was dispatched, and the first stop was Shuzhou Daofu.
The Taoist mansions of the Taoist Sect are divided into different sizes. The Taoist Sect is neither a border nor one of the four major economic pillars, and its political status in the Taoist Sect is not outstanding. The reason why the Taoist Sect can be designated as the Dao Mansion is two main reasons: one is that the area is large enough and it is directly chasing the Taoist Sect, and the other is that there are enough people, with the largest number of people than the Taoist Sect in the Central Plains.
It is precisely because the Shuzhou Dao Mansion is too big that the main veins from Kunlun to Difei Mountain, in addition to passing through Kunlun Dao Mansion, mainly pass through Shuzhou Dao Mansion.
After discussing with Master Wan and a group of professionals in the field of earth and energy, Qi Niang believed that such a huge earth and energy could not be cut off in one breath, which would cause the formation to be too heavy, and the formation would collapse early, and the target would be too large and it would be easy to be attacked. In short, the risk would be too great, which would easily delay military opportunities.
So they decided to break the whole into pieces, split a large array into thirty-six small arrays, "block" them layer by layer, and distribute the pressure into the thirty-six arrays, so as to achieve the purpose of cutting off the earth's lungs and mountain qi, and at the same time, they did not put the eggs in a basket.
About twenty of them are located in the Kunlun Taoist Mansion, led by Lin Yuanmiao and Lei Xiaohuan. The remaining sixteen are located in the Shuzhou Taoist Mansion, led by Yao Shu and Mrs. Bai.
Geographically speaking, Shuzhou Daofu borders Qinzhou Daofu, so it became the central army camp for this expedition.
"Yinglong" landed in Tiancang Mountain, Shuzhou, and a group of people from Shuzhou Daofu have already been waiting here.
In the past, Qi Xuansu was welcomed a lot, but the show was not as good as this time. Yao Shu even mobilized the ceremonial spirit officer. The entire port was waving and crowded, and people from all walks of life in Shuzhou came to welcome the great master. After all, the Shuzhou Taoist Mansion was the first Taoist mansion to go to after the great master was promoted to the throne, and it was also the first time that the great master came to Shuzhou after the throne was promoted to the throne, which was of extraordinary significance.
However, these still seem particularly small in front of "Ying Long".
Qi Xuansu appeared at the top of the gangway, and the spirit officials began to play music.
The road was paved with the red carpet below, and everyone was lined up, and the crowd extended to the end of the red carpet, looking at the chief sect and starting to applaud.
Yao Shu was at the front, very humble, and he set aside a little distance, just waiting for the Grand Master to walk down. When the Grand Master was about to finish the gangway, he stepped forward with a rhythm to ensure that the Grand Master walked down the gangway, and he happened to come to the Grand Master. He did not block the Grand Master on the gangway, nor did he let the Grand Master wait. He did not take a few steps, but he did not take a few steps.
Others are more troublesome, just follow Yao Shu's rhythm.
So the steam train runs fast all by the locomotive.
The second place is Mrs. Bai. In addition to Master Wan, the three major evil things have normal human forms. For example, Mr. Yin, who looks like a normal old man, not a thousand-eyed shadow. In Qi Xuansu's impression, Mrs. Bai has always been very consistent with the Buddhist view of white bones. Half of her body is a skeleton, half of her body is a beauty, and a red pink skeleton. However, Mrs. Bai came out to do things this time, considering the impact, and finally completed half of her body and turned into a complete beauty.
As for Qi Niang? Of course, she didn't come to welcome Qi Xuansu. She couldn't always expect Qi Niang to take care of Qi Xuansu's face. She usually pushed her if she could, and said that she was too busy to get out of her way, and no one dared to say anything. After all, what can outsiders get involved in the affairs between mother and son?
Qi Xuansu walked down the gangway, accepted Yao Shu's salute and returned the salute half, and said, "How is Yao Zhangfu doing in Shuzhou?"
Yao Shu was very low-key: "Relying on the virtue of the great master, he was kind to the gods and the fellow Taoists from all over the Taoist government. Under the wise leadership of the local master, the Shuzhou Taoist government successfully completed the task assigned by the great master. All sixteen formations were successfully completed and passed the acceptance, and was about to report the good news to the great master."
Qi Xuansu waved his hand: "I'm asking you how you did, not how you do the task. And I know my own virtues, which is too much like the virtues of heaven."
Yao Shu said respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, Yao Shu is frightened. Reporting to the Grand Master, I worked very comfortably in the Shuzhou Dao Mansion. The fellow Taoists in the Dao Mansion are very cooperative. It is no exaggeration to say that our Dao Mansion has become a rope, and the whole body is united, and those who share the same desires win. It is especially worth mentioning that fellow Taoists have outstanding performance on many key issues. I am planning to ask the Grand Master for the Dao Mansion."
Qi Xuansu nodded: "That's good."
Then Qi Xuansu greeted Mrs. Bai again: "Fellow Daoist Bai, you won't say I'm biased, right? After all, I asked Mr. Yin to go to Zixiao Palace, and you can only be in the local Taoist palace."
Mrs. Bai is also an old fairy for hundreds of years, and she said something: "I obey all the decisions of the great master. No matter where I am, I will serve the Taoist sect, and there is no distinction between high and low."
"Okay." Qi Xuansu said, "I feel very relieved if you have this enlightenment."
Xiao Yin, who was following Qi Xuansu, saluted Mrs. Bai with a "slap".
Mrs. Bai laughed in silence.
Qi Xuansu greeted other members of the Taoist palace again, and then walked along the red carpet. When he arrived, he simply waved his hand to indicate.
Yao Shu and others followed Qi Xuansu. According to their different status, they were behind different positions. Only Xiao Yin and Qi Xuansu were on the same side.
Qi Xuansu first went to the Taoist Palace in Shuzhou Daofu, held a brief discussion, and listened to the reports of Yao Shu and others. Then he went to the sixteen formations to inspect it, and confirmed that everything was foolproof.
Qi Niang was at the scene, and Qi Niang was personally accompanying Qi Xuansu.
"Don't worry if I do things. I personally checked the thirty-six formations, and there was no problem." Qi Niang said, "As long as you give me a command, the thirty-six formations will be opened uniformly at the same time to cut off the earth energy of Diyang Mountain. Theoretically, the earth energy can be cut off for twelve hours, but just in case, I still hope that you can end the battle within ten hours."
Qi Xuansu looked at the formation covering an area of 100 acres in front of him. The array points were copper pillars similar to totems. Each copper pillar was as thick as a hug by two people. The lower half was buried underground and rooted in the ground. The upper half was exposed on the ground, with inscriptions engraved, receiving divine power, and was as tall as a forest.
Qi Niang clapped her hands, and the spiritual official beside her immediately sent an order.
Soon, the formation was injected with divine power, illuminating the copper pillars in turn, emitting a blue light. However, in the blink of an eye, all the copper pillars were completely lit up. The formation began to operate. Although nothing was seen on the surface, in Qi Xuansu's immortal perception, the rolling earth energy in the earth veins was like a turbulent river, rushing eastward. After the formation was activated, it was like a dam appeared on the long river, which made the flow rate of the earth energy significantly slower, the flow rate became smaller, and the effect was obvious.
Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "Very good."
Qi Niang clapped her hands again, and the spirit official sent an order to close the formation.
Qi Niang explained in detail: "I have established a complete Thousand Mile Mile Mile System, and it has been arranged. The person in charge of the thirty-six formations must be on standby throughout the whole process and cannot leave without a single moment. As long as I give an order, the formation must be activated within an incense stick of time. Those who cannot complete the task will be dealt with strictly and severely. Those who should be dismissed should be dismissed, those who should be investigated and investigated. If the circumstances are serious, they will be dealt with by military law and directly killed. As for me, I am waiting for the order of your great master."
Qi Xuansu said: "We must strengthen the defense of the thirty-six formations to prevent someone from cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot."
Qi Niang waved her hand and left and left, patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I, Yao Qi Niang, have been doing things for others, and no one can do things for me. The reason why I divided it into thirty-six formations is to guard against this move. These thirty-six formations are not subordinate to each other, and there is no so-called central statement. Even if one or two formations are destroyed by someone, it will not affect the overall effect at all. Not to mention, in addition to the thirty-six formations, I also set up a few suspicious formations. If anyone attacks those formations, it will be bombed into the sky. This is called a waste of money."
Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "It must be Qi Niang."
Xiao Yin nodded repeatedly when he heard this, his big black eyes flashed with light - so many classics of the Three Churches, he was sleepy at first glance, and he learned from Qi Niang's these things, but he was the best of two.
Qi Xuansu said again: "Then you have to give me a brief explanation. What is the limit of this entire array? I can understand it when I attack Difei Mountain."
"This is natural." Qi Niang said, "No one can hide it from you, the great master. After all, you are the commander-in-chief who can look at the overall situation. Let's put it this way, I reserved one-third of the fault tolerance space in advance."
Qi Xuansu said to himself: "One-third, that is, twelve formations, can withstand the losses of up to twelve formations, and twenty-four formations can still play the role of cutting off the earth's energy."
Qi Niang added: "But once this limit is reached, the blocking tasks that these twelve formations originally had to be undertaken will be diverted to the other twenty-four formations, which will greatly increase the pressure of the remaining formations and reduce the lifespan of these formations. Therefore, the time for cutting off the earth energy will be shortened accordingly, and it can only last about eight hours."
Qi Xuansu didn't say anything, just thought silently.
Qi Niang continued: "Of course, this is just a relatively bad possibility. It is also possible that all thirty-six formations are safe and sound, allowing you to fight for twelve hours. But we cannot hold this kind of luck mentality, and we must consider the worst case. Therefore, the most critical person is actually you. You must fight quickly and not delay. If the situation is unfavorable, even if Yao Ling is let go, you must ensure your own safety and evacuate Difeishan as soon as possible if necessary."
Qi Xuansu said: "Eight hours, from breaking through the formation of Difei Mountain to killing Yao Ling, it should be enough."
Qi Niang said, "You are now the chief sect. Not to mention that you have the nine states in your heart, you will carry many states. You don't have to nag like an old mother anymore. Just have a clear idea in your heart."
Qi Xuansu saw the formation and raised his hand.
Yan Yongzhen, who was waiting in the distance, immediately ran to Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu ordered: "Ask, how are Zhang Dazhenren preparing? If everything is ready, then we will set off immediately."
Yan Yongzhen took the order and left.
Soon, the sky suddenly dimmed.
It was not cloudy, but "Yinglong" came directly above this place and covered the sun.
Qi Xuansu and Xiao Yin began to slowly take off the air.
Chapter completed!
