Chapter nine hundred and sixty first painstaking efforts
At some point, the King of Chu approached the old man Jubi: "Old man, are the Three Musketeers of the South of the Yangtze River knights? Is their calligraphy worth reading?"
He put his hands on his hips and tilted his head, feeling that the ghostly symbols on the painting "Rolling Rivers" were not far from what he had written.
Does this mean that he really has the talent of a calligraphy master?
The old man Jubi was so angry that he slapped King Chu on the head: "What do you know! Although the Three Musketeers of Jiangnan are knights, they are also the most famous calligraphy masters in the previous dynasty!
Look at his writing, his magnanimity, his demeanor, his arrogant and peerless interest. If he wasn't as broad-minded as the Three Musketeers of Jiangnan, how could he write such magnificent calligraphy!"
"You must be bragging, aren't you?" King Chu glanced at the old man Juebi suspiciously, stretched out his hand to take the painting "Rolling Rivers" in his hand, "Let Wan Sheng take a closer look."
"stop!"
"No touching!"
The old man Jubi and Chu Pi scolded the King of Chu almost in unison.
However, the King of Chu moved so quickly that the maidservants were blinded and the scroll was taken away by the King of Chu.
King Chu held up the calligraphy scroll and ran out happily: "There is nothing special about this calligraphy if you are a late student!"
"Stop it, you brat!"
The old man Juebi quickly chased after him.
The King of Chu ran around the lobby, knocking various ornaments to the ground with a clang, in order to stop Old Man Juebi from chasing him.
Chu Pi was so distressed that he almost vomited blood. He held his waist to endure the pain and chased after him: "Stop him for me!"
Everyone in the middle looked at each other in shock at this farce.
Fortunately, after King Chu ran around twice, he turned around and slipped out of the cabin, whether on purpose or because he was bored.
The old man definitely refused to let him go and chased him all the way: "That's the "Roaring River Picture" that Mr. Chu promised to me!"
Chu Pi couldn't outrun the two of them, so he held on to the pillar and gasped for air.
Almost everything he had prepared so painstakingly was destroyed in the hands of the people brought by that boy Ji Yannuo!
First, he used the treasures left by the previous dynasty to retain the masters of various sects. Just now, in order to stabilize the overall situation, he deliberately did not discover Ji Yannuo.
But at this moment, he didn't want to endure it anymore!
He suddenly grabbed the pillar and looked at Ji Yannuo, who was standing at the end, with a pair of gloomy eyes that were about to bleed.
Eyes facing each other.
Ji Yannuo curled his lips mockingly.
Chu Pi, on the other hand, clenched his teeth with hatred.
The atmosphere in the lobby condensed instantly.
The remaining three master painters had long lost interest and found excuses to leave.
As for the remaining literati students, one by one, you walked next to me, and I moved out next to you, out of the instinct of survival.
"Close all the doors for me!"
The moment the last scholar exited the hall, Chu Pi finally couldn't hold back and burst out.
He roared in a hoarse voice, straightened his back and strode towards the main seat.
But as soon as he took a step forward, he felt a sharp pain in his lower back that almost made him cry out.
Enduring the pain and returning to the main seat, Chu Pi sneered: "Ji Yannuo, I haven't seen you for many years, I didn't expect you to be alive! Today I will let Chu see how you will die!"
Only Ji Yannuo and six other people were left in the lobby, and everyone looked at Chu Pi with calm expressions.
"Let me go!"
Chu Pi shouted angrily at their pitiful expressions.
I saw many cracks in the ground around everyone.
Iron pillars protruded from the ground, forming a strange-shaped cage.
Tao Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "This is a formation."
Ye Fuxun also discovered that this formation was one she had seen in the formation book that Ji Yannuo gave her.
As for the method to crack it, of course she still remembers it.
He then heard Tao Lin continue to whisper: "If you take the wrong number of steps, it is easy to activate the arrows hidden in the iron pillars. Once the arrows are fired at random, it will be difficult to avoid in this narrow space."
Tao Qi glanced at him: "Don't show off, how do you crack it?"
Qing Ling whispered: "This is the first time Ling'er has heard Brother Tao Lin say so many words."
Everyone smiled.
Different from Tao Qi's self-confidence, Tao Lin is very concise and concise on weekdays.
It was only after meeting the formation that he was obsessed with that he talked so much.
Tao Lin was unmoved: "It's not difficult to crack."
He thought for a moment and said, "This formation must now set all the arrows to shoot inward. If we go out from the Shengmen, the opponent can immediately set the arrows to shoot outward. It is equivalent to us not going out."
Tao Qi pursed his lips: "Don't say you can't break it, that would be embarrassing."
Tao Linjun glanced at him: "There are two ways. One, if you touch the door of life and the door of death at the same time, the arrows in the iron pillar will turn into child powder, so we don't have to worry. Second, remove the arrows.
Change it to face outward, and take advantage of it to trigger arrows to shoot outward..."
At this time, Chu Pi's hoarse and wild laughter came from outside: "Ji Yannuo, you too have this day! You are trapped in a cage by me, and your life and death are in my hands! Want to survive? Kneel down and call grandpa!
Grandpa is in a good mood, so he will consider letting you live!"
Ji Yannuo's thin lips slightly lifted: "Two."
"Yes." Tao Lin responded, flying sideways, and saw his toes touching several iron pillars, and he flashed around like a phantom.
The next moment, countless arrows shot out from the iron pillars in all directions.
"Ah! Ah!"
The maids and guards surrounding the hall were shot to pieces by arrows one after another, and they screamed one after another.
Seeing several sharp arrows shooting towards the front door, Chu Pi was so frightened that he quickly grabbed the maid beside him and blocked him in front of him: "Protect me! Protect me!"
More than a dozen guards rushed out from both sides, blocking the sharp arrows with their swords while blocking Chu Pi's body.
"What's going on! Why are the arrows shooting out? Let me set it to shoot inward and shoot them to death!"
Chu Pi was finally safe and roared repeatedly.
A panicked voice came from not far behind him: "Sir, this formation is out of control somehow..."
Chu Pi's eyes were red as he watched the random arrows shoot down the guards who had been ambushed in the lobby. Everyone's mouth was bleeding, and he suddenly regretted that he had asked someone to temper the poison on the arrows.
If not, his people wouldn't have died so quickly.
"Ji Yannuo!" Chu Pi was furious and shouted, "Withdraw the formation! Order the archers on the third floor to shoot them to death with arrows for me!"
In an instant, all the iron pillars were seen retracting underground, and the formation was removed.
"Be careful of the divine archers on the third floor."
Tao Qi pulled Tao Lin to protect him near Ye Fulun, and the two of them raised their heads and looked towards the third floor.
I saw a circle of divine archers standing on the third-floor fence, about a dozen of them.
Sharp arrows glowing with blue light were pointed downwards, making people shudder.
Everyone drew their swords.
Qing Ling chuckled: "Brothers, don't be afraid, they won't shoot us."
