Time passed and King Xi's army had been besieging Mianlu for half a year.
But in today's world, due to the development of the Hao clan's skills, the defensive capabilities of various places have been greatly improved, so it takes a long time to attack a city or break a fortress.
It is very common to besiege a stronghold for half a year, and even the soldiers below have no complaints, and there is no need to perform any rotation.
On the border under King Xi's jurisdiction, there have been many small-scale wars in the past six months, but each time they calmed down quickly.
Just as King Xi said before, no one wants to be the one targeted by him, not even the elders, nor King Lie, nor the other big and small forces have the courage.
And here in Mianlu, facing the siege of King Xi, it was not that they did not react at all. Yao Zhenjun, with the cooperation of his teacher Yanxin, attacked several times, but as both sides were well prepared, they did not cause any harm to each other.
damage.
At this moment, in the main hall, after another discussion, Zhang Yuzheng stood behind the crystal wall in the corridor, observing the large formation built on the opposite side. With the cooperation of many creation warriors, in just half a year, it was already broken.
It's sizable.
Under his observation with his eyesight, the mystery of the formation was all before his eyes.
The opponent's method is quite thoughtful. This is to prepare to attack the formation with an array. This is indeed a good method. In fact, it is to use a large force to overcome a small force, and to use a large array to defeat a small array. During Tianxia, he also saw it many times.
Some people use this method.
However, when you have an idea, you also need to have enough strength to support it. The formation of the formation will cost dozens or hundreds of times more than the Mianlu formation. Now only King Xi has such manpower and material resources.
In addition, King Xi's subordinates possess far more upper-level power than they do. If these upper-level powers can be unified through formations, it will indeed be very impressive.
But at the same time, he could also sense that the variables on the opposite side were getting stronger and stronger. If this continued, at least half a year later, he would probably react to the changes.
Yin Huanting walked out of the inner hall at this moment. Seeing that Zhang Yu had not left, he came close and said: "Mr. Tao, if this formation is completely completed, will it pose too much of a threat to us?"
Although he couldn't see through the inside of the formation, he could still see the prototype from the outside. It was obvious that the opponent was not preparing to build the entire formation in one go, but was building a defensive formation first, and then building a defensive formation here after a certain amount of counterattack preparations were made.
Basically, the formations are stacked one by one. These formations are undoubtedly related to each other and will become stronger and stronger as time goes by.
It's like a noose being wrapped around me, one after another, until finally I can't get rid of it.
Zhang Yu said calmly: "If it is completely built, it will pose a threat to me, but the opponent will not have such an opportunity. When the time is right, I will push the formation to counterattack."
According to his original plan, he was going to take action after building the first layer of defensive formation on the opposite side. However, the opponent seemed to have misjudged the power they could use, and the first layer of the formation seemed a bit weak.
But after thinking about it, I felt that the opponent did this for no reason, because the tunnel machine is different now. From the opponent's judgment, if there is no way to return the external force before, then the defensive formation in front of me is already enough.
.
And the reason why he can overcome the power of such forbidden formations is because his Taoist cultivation is extremely high and he has already transcended the ordinary restrictions. It is not surprising that the opponent did not expect this. On the contrary,
Reasonable things.
Therefore, the opponent revealed a huge flaw from the beginning. In this case, he was willing to take advantage of this and allow the opponent to continue to manipulate him for a while.
At the same moment, Lin Laodao was standing in the clouds and looking down, but at this time, a red light flashed in his eyes, and waves of black energy came out of his body, and his whole body was filled with evil energy.
.
He seemed to have noticed something, and he quickly recited the magic formula. After a long time, the evil aura in his body gradually calmed down, the light in his eyes also faded away, and he returned to his previous immortal appearance.
He looked solemn and said to himself: "We need to move faster."
Although there are many benefits to be gained from practicing evil methods, the price is very high. Once the evil thoughts are condensed and deeply rooted in the mind, they will become more and more uncontrollable and will always harm themselves.
If he were purely evil, then it wouldn't matter and he would just obey his original intention. But he was originally a monk of the righteous sect, and now the evil methods he practices conflict with his original intention and the original Taoism, so things like this will inevitably happen.
.
Sometimes in order to obey evil thoughts, he usually makes many excuses for himself and does not take the initiative to attack others. Instead, he tries to lure others to deal with him first, so that he will not feel burdened.
Before he practiced evil methods, he had vowed to destroy King Xi and his power, and merge the two sects into one sect. Only by completely completing the knot in his mind would such conflicts stop.
But this is not the end, there will be a next time, unless he picks up the Higher Realm Fruit, as to whether there will be any changes after that, that is a matter for the future.
Time passed quickly and another month passed. On this day, Counselor Song came to Xuyun by boat and said inside: "Is Elder Lin here? His Royal Highness, King Xi, has something to ask me."
After a while, Lin Laodao appeared and said with an indifferent expression: "What's the matter?"
Counselor Song smiled and said, "You will know when Elder Lin arrives."
Lin Laodao nodded and followed him to Wangzhou. When he arrived at the main hall, he saw King Xi sitting on the throne. He came up and bowed to him and said, "I don't know what you call His Highness King Xi for."
King Xi said: "Elder Lin has been setting up the formation for more than half a year. How long will it take to attack the formation?"
Lin Laodao thought for a while and said: "It will be completed in another three to four months. If His Highness King Xi can allocate more manpower, it can be completed in another twenty or thirty days."
"In that case..."
King Xi waved his staff and whip, and the Song Councilor agreed. He took a silk letter from the officer beside him, handed it to Lin Laodao, and said: "Elder Lin, please have a look."
Lin Laodao frowned and said, "Is this... a legal deed?"
Counselor Song said: "I hope Elder Lin won't take offense. His Highness doesn't want any accidents to happen when the formation is broken, so we need to use Qiding to restrain each other."
Lin Laodao said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect King Xi to be so careful."
King Xi said: "I trust Elder Lin, otherwise I would not get rid of the Taoist formation. But as long as Elder Lin has no thoughts, he will not mind this matter. Elder Lin, are you right?"
Lin Laodao looked upward and said, "What if I don't agree?"
Counselor Song smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if Elder Lin doesn't want to. His Highness knows that Elder Lin is a Taoist monk and understands Elder Lin's difficulties. As long as Elder Lin is willing to explain clearly the follow-up of the formation, and then return the 'Gui Ban'
Come back, then Elder Lin can leave on his own, and the things originally agreed to be given to Elder Lin will not be missing."
Elder Lin was silent for a moment, then glanced aside and saw Mr. Wei standing there with a calm expression. After a while, he slowly said: "I am willing to sign a contract, but Your Highness also needs to give Pindao a guarantee."
King Xi said: "Okay."
As soon as the Taoist Guard waved his sleeves, the words on the deed immediately changed. He gestured calmly and said, "Master Lin, please take another look."
Lin Laodao took it and looked at it. Although the conditions above were still favorable to King Xi, he knew that he could not get better conditions than this, so after looking at it, he still put his signature on it.
Once this seal falls, no matter what his original plan is, he can no longer do anything weird, because as long as he has evil thoughts, this mental contract will immediately kill him.
When Counselor Song took the deed away, he said expressionlessly: "If nothing happens, I will resign."
King Xi said: "Elder Lin can go on his own. I have to trouble Elder Lin a lot for the rest."
Mr. Lin bowed politely and exited the main hall.
King Xi suddenly frowned and waved his hand, and Counselor Song and others quickly retreated. After a while, his face turned pale, and black blood seeped out of his mouth and nose, and flowed to his neck.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped it with a sullen face. In the past six months, the spell's erosion on him had become more and more severe. Although the defenders tried to alleviate it for him, the power of the spell was also getting stronger, which made him continue to weaken.
, now I can only rely on pills to stay alive.
The defender looked at him and said, "You can't hold on for much longer. That matter can be done earlier."
King Xi shook his head and said: "There are still some things that need to be prepared." He pointed forward with his staff and whip, "We must at least break through Mianlu, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to control the situation by then."
The defender said calmly: "With me here, you don't have to worry about this at all."
King Xi didn't speak any more, he just leaned on his seat, wondering what he was thinking.
Lin Laodao walked all the way out of Wangzhou and returned to the cloud catkins where he had made sacrifices. After he sat down, he first placed a layer of restrictions around him, and then took out a bronze tripod from his sleeve.
.
Placing the object in front of him, he silently recited the magic formula. After a while, a wisp of white smoke floated out of the cauldron. The white smoke gradually solidified, and finally transformed into his appearance, two identical Lin Dao
People appeared here.
Sitting there, Taoist Lin raised his head and said, "Fellow Taoist Lin, today King Xi of the Hao tribe called me to make a contract. I have made a contract with him, and I have repaid your kindness."
Standing there, Taoist Lin nodded and said: "As I promised before, I will help you pass it on to your disciples and Taoists."
Taoist Lin who was sitting there got his promise, so he took out a magic formula, and his body gradually turned into a drifting white smoke, and finally escaped into the bronze tripod.
Lin Laodao bent down, picked up the tripod, put it into his sleeve, and then sneered, King Xi could think of using the method of making a contract, how could he not think of it? He had already been prepared for this.
This comrade had refined his hard work and energy in the early years, and had been with him all year round. Not only his appearance, but also his energy and thinking were almost the same. Whenever he met King Xi, this was the one who always went there, so
No one could see the flaw, not even the Taoist defender next to King Xi who he couldn't see through.
Previously, the reason why he used the calculation of the formation as an excuse to prevent the spiritual light from falling on the clouds he controlled was so that no one could detect any movement when the two of them were replacing each other.
The red light in his eyes is gradually rising. Now he has successfully deceived King Xi. When the formation is completed, he can realize his long-cherished wish!
