Chapter 506: The Ritual of Summoning Death(1/2)
The magic circle below the village is too large, so it is obviously impossible to dig the entire area, but it is not difficult to just dig up the problematic area.
After communicating with the owner of this family, Tianyou compensated him for some money and then obtained an excavation permit. He used to entertain Tianyou and the others to not collect money because of etiquette. Now Tianyou wants to demolish other people's house, so they naturally need compensation, so they did not refuse his money.
After the permission is obtained, the excavation work will be simple. There are so many tools in the village, so it can be used when borrowed. Hu Niu needs to output spiritual power, but cannot come. Although Hu Qingxuan looked delicate, he might not be slower than the excavator when he really did work. However, Tianyou did not let her take action, but digged with Qi Xiaomei. The power of both of them was monster-level, and the soil was not much stronger than jelly. They dug up the target in just half a cup of tea.
In fact, the main reason for this quickness is that the leak point is much lighter than they expected.
The first thing Tianyou and the others dug was a pedestal, which felt like the one in the hometown of the village, but it was buried by soil. Then, when they were cleaning the soil near the pedestal, Qi Xiaomei went down with a shovel and smashed a stone. After careful digging, she found that it was not a stone but another stone tablet.
Soon the news that the second divine stone tablet was dug out in the village spread throughout the village, and then all the village, regardless of men, women, and young, gathered again.
With Tianyou and his friends excavated, the second stone tablet was soon completely raised from the ground. The stone tablet was exactly the same as the one in the hometown of the village. According to the location of the excavation, this thing should not be inserted into the base, but lying beside the base, but was buried by soil later.
After finding the base, the reason for the leakage of the magic array's spiritual energy was found. However, this time Tianyou did not continue to block the gap, but first cleared the socket in the center of the base, and then checked the stone tablet and confirmed that although a corner was killed, it did not hurt the formation part, so this stone tablet is likely to be useful.
I want to know if this thing can be used very simply. The interface is right next to it, and I want to know if it can be used to penetrate it directly. And Tianyou did this.
"Be careful, be careful, one, two, three, put."
As Tianyou and Qi Xiaomei let go at the same time, the stone tablet was embedded in the base of the ground with a thunder. The entire stone tablet sank more than a foot deep and then it was completely implemented. Then the spiritual energy in the magic circle visible to the naked eye began to climb up the stone tablet. Runes that could not be seen in color around the stone tablet began to light up gradually, and there was a continuous, slight buzzing sound.
The slow-moving spiritual energy gradually rose, and finally completely lit up the entire stone tablet. Then, at the top of the stone tablet, a small, shining light particle gradually took shape, and then the light particle became brighter and bigger, until it became a ball of light the size of a football, glowing like a light bulb.
After waiting for a while, Tianyou, who had not found any more changes, began to observe and study the thing in confusion, while the villagers outside the door were already shocked and their chins were almost falling off.
The villagers who have been born and died for generations cannot imagine that the stone tablet they have always worshipped was such a thing. Even if this one is not the one they have always worshipped, Tianyou and his party said before that the two are the same thing. In other words, if it is not damaged, the stone tablet they have worshipped before should be in such a state of luminousness.
No matter what the villagers think, Tianyou has already seen some clues in this stone tablet.
The runes in this stone tablet are obviously incomplete. It is not that the stele itself is missing, but that the runes in this stone tablet are part of a huge magic array, and it is not complete by just one stone tablet. In connection with the previous damaged stone tablet, there may be more than two such stone tablets, and there should be others.
Tianyou, who had figured it out, suddenly turned around and ran out of the house, pushed open the door and watched the crowd directly to the open space outside.
"Mocking Feng." Tianyou shouted at the sky, and soon, a clear cry came from the sky. The villagers looked up at the sky in the sound. At first, they saw nothing, but the next second, a small black dot suddenly magnified and rushed to their heads in the blink of an eye. Many people were screaming and holding their heads. However, the expected impact did not happen, but just a strong wind blew across the ground and brought a piece of smoke and dust. Looking at the Mocking Feng hovering above their heads, Tianyou patted his shoulder and said, "Take me up."
After responding with a clear cry, Tang Feng immediately grabbed Tianyou's shoulders and flapped his wings twice. Tian You only felt that his whole body suddenly rose, and the skin on his face was blown by the wind, and he had reached an extremely high position almost in the blink of an eye. "Chaofeng's speed has become faster again."
After sighing in his heart, Tianyou turned his attention to the ground again.
Looking down from the sky, the entire mist forest was shrouded in a gray marshmallow-like mist. Because the area was too large, even Tianyou's current height could only see continuous gray fog, and there was no way to see the edge.
I didn't have time to pay attention to the scene of the foggy forest, and I simply glanced at the attention of Zu Tianyou and returned to the village.
Although the foggy forest blocks the access on the ground, the village without foggy has become more conspicuous when viewed from the air. It is the only open area in a gray-green area, and naturally it can be identified at a glance.
After careful observation, Tianyou's only discovery was that Xuanfeng seemed to have used too much force. At this height, there was only a small point left in the village below. Even with Tianyou's eyesight, he really couldn't see clearly. He had no choice but to remind Xuanfeng, and after diving for a distance in a super-stimulating free fall, he finally obtained a suitable field of vision.
The stone tablet surrounding the village is indeed a very standard circle. However, the stone tablet in the hometown of the village and the stone tablet that was just discovered by Tianyou were unexpectedly not in the center of the village, but a short distance from the center of the circle.
If the entire magic array is restored, you will find that the stone tablets outside the village form a standard circle. The giant tree growing in the empty field in the center of the village is exactly the center of the circle. As for the two large stone tablets that Tianyou saw, they are located at points exactly the same distance from the center of the circle. If you contact the obvious circular structure of the magic array, you can infer that these two large stone tablets may also be part of a certain circle. In other words, there should be several such stone tablets.
Based on the locations of the two large stone tablets before, Tianyou roughly positioned other places in the village where stone tablets might appear, and then recorded all of them. After completing all this, he mocked the wind behind him: "Okay, let me go."
When Xuanfeng heard the order, he immediately let go of his claws, and then he heard Tianyou's curse getting farther and farther away: "Damn, I asked you to let me go, don't you throw me down..."
Although he was panicked because he was suddenly thrown down, Tianyou reacted quickly, quickly adjusted his body posture and made up for himself with a light acumen.
This light spirit technique is a magic that Tianyou himself improved. Its prototype is Qingfeng Technique, which is known as one of the essential skills of low-level monks.
The spell structure of Qingfeng Technique is very simple, and its relative function is also very simple. It is to increase the movement speed by reducing one's own weight and reducing air friction. Tianyou's light spirit is a mutant spell of Qingfeng Technique. It retains the function of reducing weight, but it reverses the function of reducing wind resistance, that is, increasing wind resistance.
The weight decreases and the wind resistance increases, so the natural drop speed cannot be faster. As long as this spell is used, ordinary cliffs and other things can jump down directly. Therefore, this spell is nicknamed by Pang Dahai and others as the cliff jumping technique.
Regardless of whether the nickname sounds good or not, it is practical and practical. When Tianyou was shown to the immortal masters, he was quite affirmed. He was decided by the immortal masters to teach the disciples the skills as the pre-skill skills of sword control in the future. After all, in the early stage of sword control practice, there are always disciples who can't help but want to practice sword control in advance, but as a result, a large number of disciples who fell and injured appeared every year. If you have this spell, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing.
Anyway, no matter what, Tianyou's light-spirited technique has been recognized by everyone, and he himself has used it very easily.
Although Tianyou, who has applied the light spirit technique, falls as fast as the leaves, it is slightly faster than the speed of a parachute. With the physical fitness of a monk, the impact of this speed is completely withstandable. Of course, the premise is that it cannot be too high. After all, light spirit technique is not a flying technique. As long as the height is sufficient, it can still kill people.
boom……
Thanks to the violent landing of the mocking wind, all the dust that could fly on the ground was blown away. Now Tianyou landed on the ground and did not arouse any smoke and dust. However, Tianyou still put on the style of the Terminator and stopped there for a long time without moving.
The little sister Qi, who was unknown, kindly asked: "Senior Brother, what did you see on it? Why don't you come? Why are you squatting there?"
Tianyou could only ask for help with a bitter face: "The legs are numb! Come and help me!"
Xiaomei Qi, who heard that her legs were numb, quickly came over to help Tianyou up, but the latter could only limp and tiptoe. It was not injury, but mainly because of the numbness and itchiness, which was really uncomfortable. However, Tianyou didn't know that after he left, the place where he had just landed became another viewing spot for the villagers. The two footprints and two palm prints, half an inch deep on the ground, were really shocking. You must know that it was not mud, but the rammed earth road in the village. How much effort would it take to step into such a deep pit?
After a while, after a short rest, Tianyou immediately found the village elder. In fact, the village elder was close to him and was watching the second stone tablet.
After briefly talking to the village elder, Tianyou got the support of the village elder, and then took a group of people to find the remaining stone tablets.
Because I had recorded a rough location in the sky before, the search process was quite smooth. After a meal, they found the third stone tablet, located behind a house in a certain family, under a pile of broken tiles.
Unlike the initial damaged stone tablet, this time the stone tablet was not inserted into the groove anymore. However, with previous experience, they dug a little along the groove position to find the body of the stone tablet.
Previously, Tianyou roughly determined the ring belt where the second ring stone tablet is located. Now there are 3 stone tablets as positioning points, and the interval data is obtained, so the remaining stone tablets are no longer needed to be found, and they can be positioned directly. After measuring the distance, it can be said that one digs out accurately.
As soon as lunch arrived, Tianyou and the others dug out all thirty-five stone tablets, plus the damaged one in the village hometown, a total of 36. Among these stone tablets, except for the one in the village hometown, all the remaining stone tablets are normally available. Tianyou also discovered the damage to the one in the village hometown.
The reason why the stone tablet in the hometown of the village was damaged is because it was inserted there.
The stone tablet at the entrance of the village is a spirit gathering array, which has the function of condensing spiritual energy, and its characteristics will also make the spirit gathering array itself become more and more stable. This is the characteristic of the spirit gathering array itself. However, these 36 in the village are all magic arrays that actually play a role, which is like light bulbs. They are constantly consuming spiritual energy and burning themselves. If they use some advanced materials, the magic array can be operated indefinitely. Unfortunately, the person who made this magic array is obviously very tight, or they may not expect this thing to run for how long. In short, the materials used are all things that can be seen everywhere, that is, make do with it temporarily.
It is precisely because this magic array is made of material that it is difficult to flow inside the spiritual energy. As the spiritual power continues to wash away, the spiritual array in the stone tablet connected to the formation is eventually completely damaged. The other 35 stone tablets were saved just because they were not inserted into the base. If they were also connected, they would definitely not be able to escape the damage.
After digging out all the stone tablets, Tianyou had a reference for comparison, and then he repaired the damaged stone tablet in the old house of the original village based on the structure of other stone tablets he had seen before.
Thanks to the simple and rough things used by the people who set up the formations before, the repair process is also very simple. After all, the size is so large and the complexity is not too high, so it is still very convenient to repair. Just use your own spiritual power to build a new channel in the stone tablet.
After completing the repair of the damaged stone tablet, Tianyou found a clean place and began to try to restore the structure of the entire formation.
Based on the complementary characteristics of the formation, Tianyou can clearly infer the structure of the part that has not been seen from the array diagram that has been seen. After all, this is not a complex array diagram, but a relatively simple symmetrical structure. As long as you know the structure of a sector, you can counteract the overall structure. Of course, you cannot make a conclusion before you see the entire map, so Tianyou is still trying to restore the complete structure of this array diagram.
Although the structure of this array diagram is relatively simple, the simplest is the rules, and its overall complexity is still considerable. Therefore, Tianyou spent a lot of time on this. He almost did this all afternoon. Thanks to Qi Xiaomei and Hu Qingxuan who could also help, otherwise it would be possible to fully recover from it in two or three days alone.
What Tianyou didn't know was that when he was busy restoring the formation structure diagram, the villagers were not idle either. In addition to preparing for the coming-of-age ceremony at night, some idle people were also interested in the dugout stone tablets.
"Hey, since the magic circle under our feet protects our village, would it be safer if we completely activate it?" A villager looked at the stone tablet on the ground and asked the people next to him.
"What I said makes sense. Why don't we insert it and try it?" The villagers next to him obviously had similar ideas, so the few people could say that they hit it off and started to do it after a brief discussion.
The stone tablets on the ground are very heavy, but Tianyou can lift them up alone, and seven or eight of them can still move.
Carefully erect the stone tablet and then embedded it into the base on the ground. With a click, the structure at the bottom of the stone tablet was locked, and the runes on the stone tablet immediately began to gradually brighten from bottom to top. However, unlike the first stone tablet excavated by Tianyou before, the runes on this stone tablet were very low in brightness, and the buzzing sound could not be heard, and the light ball at the top could not be seen appear.
In fact, the reason for this situation is very simple. Because the stone tablet discovered by Tianyou in the morning was found in the direction of the spiritual power injected by Hu Niu, the base under the stone tablet was actually in a state of forced infusion of spiritual energy, which means that the stone tablet was running under an overload state. It is precisely because the stone tablet was flowing in the formation of excessive spiritual power at that time that it shines so obviously. However, although this principle is simple, these villagers don’t understand it.
One of the villagers looked at the magic circle that emitted a faint light in confusion and asked the person next to him: "Why is this so dark? I see that the little god made it so bright before."
"Can we do something wrong?"
"It's possible." The person next to him agreed: "Why should we pull it out and try changing direction?"
"Yeah, try changing directions."
A group of people pulled out the stone tablet again, then turned up and down and inserted it backwards.
This stone tablet is originally like the top and bottom, and there is no way to tell which end is, so even if it is reversed, there is no problem. However, what is surprising is that as the villagers inserted the stone tablet into the base, the stone tablet actually lit up again, and the light this time was obviously three points stronger. Although it is not as bright as the stone tablet that Tianyou made before, at least it can be clearly seen that the stone tablet has really started.
The villagers who saw this result were very excited and thought that they had finally succeeded, so a group of people turned to the next stone tablet.
In the same way, insert the stone tablet into the base. If it is not lit, insert it in another direction. In this way, the stone tablets are lit one by one, and soon two stone tablets are left that have not been inserted yet.
These two stone tablets, one is the one in the hometown of the village. Because the village was managed by the old man, the villagers did not come at the beginning. There was also a stone tablet that was not started, which was the stone tablet that Tianyou first found. After checking the stone tablet, Tianyou pulled it out again, but the villagers did not continue to watch it later, so they didn't know that it was not restarted.
However, after finishing the work, the villagers saw that nothing happened, so they thought of the stone tablets from the old village.
It was actually getting closer to evening, and the coming-of-age ceremony at night was about to begin, so the village elder ran to the scene to direct the villagers to work. When these idle and bored villagers came to the village elder's hometown, they did not see the village elder. Then they didn't think much about it, and a group of people inserted the stone tablet repaired by Tianyou into it.
Obviously, Tianyou's restoration work was very successful. The restored stone tablet lit up as soon as it was inserted into the groove on the ground. Even because the restored structure is newer and has better spiritual guidance ability, it is a little brighter than other stone tablets.
However, because there is still a stone tablet, the villagers did not see any changes.
Just when the villagers were puzzled, another villager walked in outside the house. The man saw a group of people in the house and asked them in confusion: "The coming-of-age ceremony is about to begin, what are you all doing here?"
When the villagers in the lead saw the villagers who came to their hearts, they explained their previous thoughts. The villagers were the same as them and knew nothing about formations, so they actually had the same ideas. After hearing the man's words, they also felt something was reasonable, so they said, "Then have you gone to see the monument of Chuanzi and the others?"
"Of the Chuanzi family? Are you talking about the first piece that the little god found?"
"Yes." said the villager who had just arrived: "When I went there to get things, I saw that the divine monument seemed to have been pulled out."
"Tear it out?" The villager before said in confusion: "I clearly saw the little god inserting the stone tablet in before. Could it be that he pulled it out again? Forget it, let's go and take a look."
"I also want to deliver things to the village elders, so I won't go with you." The villagers left first after saying that, while the others headed straight to Chuanzi's house.
At this time, Tianyou had basically completed the drawing of the magic array. He glanced briefly and roughly understood the function of the magic array. It was not that Tianyou was so smart, but that he had seen too much of this structure. "Isn't this the teleportation array?"
Hu Qingxuan also knew a lot of knowledge about formations, and after Tianyou finished speaking, he also understood the structure of the formation diagram. "Yes, it is a teleportation array. The spirit gathering array outside provides spiritual support, and then forms a simple dispersing array to prevent wild beasts or monsters from entering and destroying the integrity of the array. These stone tablets in the center are teleportation arrays, but they are not flat, but divided into 36 stone tablets and stand there."
Qi Xiaomei pointed at the structure of one of the stone tablets and said, "But this structure seems to be different from the teleportation array we usually see."
"This is an early teleportation array." Tianyou explained to Qi Xiaomei: "Master said that in the past, most of the teleportation arrays were one-way, and it was necessary to distinguish between the teleportation end and the receiving end. The kind of teleportation array we see that can be sent and accepted was created shortly before the outbreak of the Catastrophe. Therefore, many of the teleportation arrays in ancient ruins are one-way."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Qi Xiaomei looked at the drawings they had just finished drawing and said, "Then isn't this teleportation array a kind of ancient teleportation array?"
Tianyou nodded and was about to explain, but suddenly he heard footsteps. After looking up, he saw Hu Qingxuan's little fan running out from behind the house in the distance.
"Little God, little God. The coming-of-age ceremony in the village is about to begin. The village elder asked me to invite a few of you to watch the ceremony together."
"Okay, let's go now." Tianyou simply packed up the drawings and followed the little fan to the open space in the middle of the village. The coming-of-age ceremony was held here.
At this time, the sky was not completely dark, but most of the villagers had gathered here. When Tianyou and the others arrived, the old man had already sat down on a Grand Master chair, and there were several chairs next to it. It seemed that Tianyou and the others prepared it. As for the villagers, most of them sat on the ground.
To be continued...
