Chapter 227: Cracking the Box
The ancestor of the Jian family, who was seeing off guests at the gate of the Jian family, had just said goodbye to an old friend when he saw a black shadow flying over his head.
After he saw clearly what the black shadow was, the smile on his face instantly stiffened.
What is going on?
"Dad, that was..." The head of the Jian family twitched his eyes.
The ancestor of the Jian family whispered: "Go and find out what happened inside."
"yes."
When the ancestor of the Jian family learned the cause and consequences, he couldn't laugh or cry.
Where on earth did Zhan Fei invite such an expert who acted without scruples?
"Fellow Daoist Xu, I've been waiting for a long time."
When the ancestor of the Jian family entered the living room, Xu Yi, Wang Yang and Xiaoyi sat in a row, munching on spiritual fruits.
When the three of them saw him coming in, they hurriedly put down their spiritual fruits and stood up to salute. Their movements were exactly the same, "Old Ancestor Jian."
"No need to be too polite." The ancestor of the Jian family sat down directly and smiled kindly.
He waved and motioned the three of them to sit down, then looked at Xu Yi and asked, "Fellow Taoist Xu, I see that you behave well, so I take the liberty to ask where the teacher should be from?"
The ancestor of the Jian family had already made a guess about Xu Yi's identity, and now he wanted to confirm the answer in his mind by asking this question.
"I've been trying to make an introduction to Xuanjimen for a while."
Xu Yi has no intention of concealing his identity.
Ever since she killed Qiu Yuanfeng at the Zhentian Alliance exchange conference last time, her identity has been completely revealed and the news has spread widely.
With the energy of the Jian family, it would take less than two days to find out her identity, so it would be better to inform her proactively.
"Sure enough, it's you." The ancestor of the Jian family stretched his eyebrows and said, "I have long heard of the reputation of fellow Taoist Xu, and I am finally able to meet you today. I am so lucky to meet you."
"You're welcome."
Wang Yang and Xiaoyi watched the polite exchanges between the ancestor of the Jian family and Xu Yi with great interest.
After a few more words of foreshadowing, the ancestor of the Jian family finally revealed his intention, "Fellow Taoist Xu, I'm asking you to stay this time. Actually, I have something to ask for."
"Want to hear the details."
Seeing those two treasures that he got for free, Xu Yi didn't shy away.
The smile on the Jian family ancestor's face faded, showing a bit of solemnity.
He waved his sleeves, and a square box one foot high and one foot wide fell in front of Xu Yi.
"I accidentally obtained this box from a secret realm. At first glance, it looked ordinary and had no mystery, so I didn't pay much attention to it and kept some important items in the box. Who knew?
One day the box couldn't be opened.
I tried every means but could not break the box, and later I discovered that the outside of the box was engraved with a strange formation, and only by breaking the formation can the items inside be taken out."
The ancestor of the Jian family let out a long sigh and continued: "I invited several prestigious masters in the Tiantian Alliance. However, when they saw this box, they all waved their hands and refused, saying that they could not help. The contents of this box have been covered in dust for nearly three hundred years.
Year."
"So you want me to help you open this square box?" Xu Yi said.
"Yes, the contents of this box are not precious, but they are of great significance to me. I heard that Fellow Daoist Xu is very accomplished in formations, so I asked Fellow Daoist Xu to help me give it a try. Whether it succeeds or not, I will
I can’t thank you enough.”
Xu Yi did not agree immediately, but said cautiously: "I'll take a look first."
Even the combined monks couldn't open the box, and Xu Yi didn't dare to entrust it.
"please."
Xu Yi walked to the box and used his spiritual consciousness to carefully examine the patterns on it.
The more he looked at this, the tighter his frown became.
It’s no wonder that several masters of the Tiantian Alliance cannot solve this formation, because this is a formation pattern handed down from ancient times, and is outlined with two formations, one bright and one dark.
That is to say, on the surface, this is one formation, but in fact, it is two formations that are closely related.
It is said that one move affects the whole body. If you want to break the formation, you must break the two formations, one light and one dark, at the same time. Therefore, this formation is also called the Yin-Yang formation.
Fortunately, Xu Yi had seen similar formations before, so he was not completely out of ideas.
She stretched out her fingers and slowly stroked the patterns on the square box, using the power of her soul to simultaneously outline the same patterns in her sea of consciousness.
After all the formation patterns were outlined, Xu Yi closed his eyes and began to figure out how to break the formation in his mind.
The ancestors of the Jian family, Wang Yang and Xiaoyi saw that Xu Yi was making deductions and did not dare to disturb them. They sat aside with their hands tied and waited quietly.
The eyes of the ancestor of the Jian family flashed with hope from time to time.
After seeing his square box, the previous masters left immediately without a moment's hesitation.
Originally, he planned to go to the Heavenly Formation Alliance in person some time later to ask the new White Leader of the Heavenly Formation Alliance to take action, but now it seems that he may not need to make that extra trip.
Time passed bit by bit, and suddenly large beads of sweat began to appear on Xu Yi's forehead, and wisps of white air rose from the top of her head.
Xiaoyi's eyes widened in surprise, she pointed at Xu Yi and whispered: "Sister, sister...it's on fire."
Wangyang also opened his mouth wide, looking at the strange scene in front of him in shock.
The ancestor of the Jian family looked nervous, success or failure depended on this.
At this moment, Xu Yi opened his eyes suddenly, used his right hand as a pen and spiritual power as ink to quickly draw the runes of breaking the formation on the top of the square box.
The surrounding spiritual energy, centered on Xu Yi, quickly gathered here.
The ancestor of the Jian family was worried, so he directly took out the top-quality spiritual stone dragon-shaped statue to provide Xu Yi with sufficient spiritual power.
After a cup of tea, Xu Yi took out an inconspicuous black stone from the storage ring with his left hand, slammed it towards the square box, and shouted: "Broken!"
Above the square box, two different patterns, one dark and one dark, flashed at the same time, and then the square box began to tremble violently.
Xu Yi's eyes condensed, and he made the last stroke with his right hand, "Break again!"
There seemed to be the sound of gold and stone clashing in the air.
Bang!
The lid of the square box popped open.
Xu Yi relaxed and suddenly lost all strength, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
"It's opened, it's really opened." The ancestor of the Jian family said excitedly.
But even at this time, he did not lose his composure due to excitement. He did not check the contents of the box and took the lead in caring about Xu Yi, "Fellow Taoist Xu, please sit down and have a rest! Thank you very much this time."
Wang Yang stepped forward and helped Xu Yi back to his seat.
Xu Yi first poured a bowl of tea into his mouth. When his body's spiritual power recovered a little, he waved his hand and said, "I'm just a little weak, but fortunately I can live up to my trust."
The ancestor of the Jian family bowed again, then quickly walked to the open square box and took out a few jade fragments with faint petal patterns visible, with a complicated look in his eyes.
Xu Yi almost dropped the tea cup, "Why did it break? Could it be that I just lost control of my spiritual power?"
Although he opened the box, the items were damaged, and Xu Yi's head suddenly became as big as a bucket.
The ancestor of the Jian family shook his head repeatedly when he heard this, "Fellow Taoist, please don't worry, the things in this are originally like this. This is the mistake I made at the beginning."
The ancestor of the Jian family didn't say much, but Xu Yi and Wang Yang also thought that there must be an unknown story in it.
Neither of them were people who wanted to get to the bottom of things. Seeing that the ancestor of the Jian family was lost in memories again, they silently reached out to the spiritual fruit on the table.
