Chapter 58: Ancient Formation
"My parents dug this secret passage. They originally just wanted to dig a secret room to hide things, but they didn't expect to find an ancient formation underneath."
Yang Mei explained to Xu Yi the origin of this secret passage.
Yang Mei's parents are also humble casual cultivators in Bagua City.
They have no great ambitions, and after discovering the existence of ancient formations, they dare not reveal it to outsiders.
Until the two died unexpectedly, only Yang Mei knew the secret.
The secret passage was not long, and Xu Yi saw the complex and mysterious magic circle on the ground in front of him not long after walking.
Xu Yi could not help but step forward quickly, his greedy eyes scanning the formation inch by inch, eagerly absorbing the information from the ancient formation.
When Yang Mei saw Xu Yi's eyes shining brightly, her body and mind immersed in the formation, she showed a satisfied smile, sat down cross-legged, and looked at Xu Yi quietly.
Xu Yi had completely forgotten the outside world at this time, and one formation after another in the sea of consciousness emerged in his mind, and then quickly joined together with another formation.
Her hands waved according to the formation formed in the sea of consciousness, with a strong sense of rhythm.
Yang Mei was originally looking at Xu Yi attentively, but was subconsciously attracted by the movements of her hands. Her eyes gradually became empty, apparently immersed in her own consciousness.
When Yang Mei woke up from the confused feeling, she felt that her mind was broadened, the problems that had troubled her before were solved, and her understanding of the formation was one step closer.
"Senior is so awesome."
She knew very well that her ability to grow was entirely due to the influence of her seniors.
Seeing that Xu Yi was still comprehending with his eyes closed, Yang Mei took out the previously completed formation disk and began to modify it.
She had a hunch that the quality of the array disks she made this time would make a qualitative leap.
Just when Xu Yi was comprehending the formation, an uninvited guest came to Xiling City at night.
Goshawk was currently sitting cross-legged in the palace of the city lord's palace. Beside him were piles of crystal-clear shaved spiritual stones.
Once he gained power, he couldn't wait to enjoy the treatment of the city lord.
The goshawk suddenly opened his eyes, and his cold gaze swept across the palace.
A chill ran down his spine just now, as if he was being targeted by some wild beast.
"Who is it? I have discovered you."
He did not dare to be careless, so he quickly took out the defensive magic weapon and placed it around himself, looking around cautiously.
"Let me just say you are a dog. This dog's nose is really sharp."
When the sound sounded, large beads of cold sweat broke out on Goshawk's forehead.
Although the voice was unfamiliar, the tone was very familiar to him.
This is clearly...
"If you hadn't done something stupid, I wouldn't have exposed it. Now that the four people are gone, it's up to you to accept the punishment."
The sound was disembodied and the source could not be found, and there was a faint look of fear in the goshawk's eyes.
call--
A dark wind blew.
Goshawk felt a chill coming from his neck, and the next moment his consciousness fell into boundless darkness.
"Ah, a good dog has become a dead dog, hahahaha."
The sound gradually faded away, leaving only a body lying in a pool of blood.
…
"Sir, you must make the decision for me."
A middle-aged man was kneeling in the lobby with a mournful face. Sitting above him was a monk with a Chinese-style face and an unruffled look.
"Tell me again what happened yesterday in detail." Hong Xingye said in a deep voice.
"The thing is like this, yesterday a woman with suspicious behavior came to our store to sell formation disks, but she couldn't produce the formation repair nameplate, so I suspected that she had stolen these formation disks.
After being exposed by me, she became so angry that she found an accomplice to kick me away and snatch the array away.
Sir, everyone in Bagua City knows that you are the owner of the shop, and she clearly doesn't take you seriously by doing this!"
It turns out that this person is the shopkeeper who had a conflict with Xu Yi and Yang Mei yesterday, and Hong Xingye, who has an out-of-body cultivation, is the real owner of this shop.
"There are still people in Bagua City who dare to pretend to be a formation cultivator." Hong Xingye's face was full of anger.
Hong Xingye is a fifth-level formation cultivator, and he is also the deputy leader of the Bagua City Formation Tianmeng.
He was furious when he heard that someone dared to pretend to be a formation cultivator.
"That's right, she was so brazen at the time that it didn't matter if she didn't have a formation repair nameplate. Those were all lies."
Seeing that Hong Xingye was angry, the shopkeeper added fuel to the fire and sneered in his heart.
"Bastard!" Hong Xingye slapped his palm on the table, making a muffled sound, and the surrounding air pressure suddenly dropped.
The shopkeeper groaned and lowered his body even lower.
Hong Xingye looked at the shopkeeper and asked in a cold voice: "Where are those two women from?"
The shopkeeper first nodded, then shook his head. Under Hong Xingye's dissatisfied gaze, he defended: "The person who came to sell the formation plates was a foundation-building cultivator in Bagua City named Yang Mei. But the female cultivator with her was alone.
We know her origin, but her cultivation is at least in the Nascent Soul stage."
The shopkeeper had already found out the details of Yang Mei, but he couldn't find any information about Xu Yi.
"Female cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage? Derogating the formation cultivator's nameplate?"
Hong Xingye frowned. He always felt that this woman sounded familiar.
After pondering for a moment, an idea flashed in his mind. He took out a jade slip from his storage bag and handed it to the shopkeeper, "Look to see if the portrait in this jade slip is that woman."
The shopkeeper took it and looked at it carefully, then shouted: "Sir, it's her, it's her, it turns out her name is Su Mei'er."
The portrait on the jade slip clearly looks like Xu Yi.
Hong Xingye sneered, it's Su Mei'er again.
This jade slip had long been circulated among the various city branches of the Tiantian League. Because it was the news from above, he deliberately remembered it at the time, and it really came in handy now.
Now that he knew the identities of these two people, Hong Xingye no longer hesitated and immediately ordered: "Send someone to keep an eye on these two people. Yang Mei can leave it alone for now. The main thing is Su Meier. As soon as she leaves the city, she will report immediately."
Whether he can take a step forward in the Formation League depends on her.
"Yes, I will arrange it immediately." The shopkeeper kowtowed respectfully.
Hong Xingye glanced at him lightly and remembered that he only knew the news, so he spoke a few words of encouragement.
When the shopkeeper finally left, he couldn't contain the excitement on his face.
Unintentionally, he made another great contribution. It seems that he has to thank these two people.
He was secretly proud and passed on Hong Xingye's order.
Not long after, I received news from the person responsible for tracking that Su Meier had moved into Yang Mei's house, and the two of them had not yet appeared.
The shopkeeper asked people to continue to guard there, and reported the letter to Hong Xingye. He received two more compliments, and his chin almost reached the top of his head.
He thought that after he told Hong Xingye about the matter, the two people would definitely not get along, but he didn't expect that he would have to wait for more than ten days.
After Yang Mei and Su Meier returned to that broken house, they never came out again.
Now he has to go to Yang Mei's house every day, and he has to ask the person responsible for tracking again and again, until he gets a positive answer, he feels a little relieved.
Hong Xingye originally expected to capture Su Meier as soon as possible, but as time went by, he gradually lost his patience.
If it weren't for the rules of Bagua City, he would have wanted to go directly to Yang Mei's home to find the two of them.
It wasn't until another half month passed, when both of them were anxiously getting angry, and their mouths were full of bubbles, that Su Meier finally appeared.
