Under the night, the Jiepai Pass is low and dilapidated, like a wild beast lurking on the vast plains.
Standing on the city wall, you will have the heroic spirit of lording over the world and looking down on the common people.
Walking at the base of the city wall, you will have the opposite feeling, a feeling of being small and humble.
Under the turret of the city wall of Jiepai Xiongguan, there is a huge excavated stone. The huge stone weighs at least several thousand kilograms. Where the huge stone originally covered is the exquisite octagonal pattern, which is the eye of the eight-star formation.
location.
Around this formation, Zhao Yuan arranged a large number of soldiers to guard it. There were really three steps and one sentry, five troops and one post. The security was extremely tight.
In fact, the entire Jiepai Pass is now heavily guarded, with reconnaissance cavalry everywhere. Every moment, intelligence is flying in like snowflakes. Then, through the huge intelligence system, valuable intelligence will be filtered out as soon as possible.
Put it on Zhao Yuan's desk.
Opening the obstacle that blocked the octagonal groove pattern, Zhao Yuan summoned eight top-grade crystals from the Sumeru Ring, and then began to carefully place the eight crystals in the octagonal grooves with great concentration.
It took Zhao Yuan just a few sticks of incense to place eight top-grade crystal stones. After placing them, Zhao Yuan was already sweating profusely and his face was pale. It was as if he had fought against San Lily in a war, and his whole body was exhausted.
generally.
"There are seven more places." Zhao Yuan wiped the sweat from his face and stood up.
"Is it very hard?" Wan Ling'er asked with concern.
"It's not easy. The mirror surfaces of these crystals are all different. You have to find out the refraction position of the light, and the eight-star array can exert its maximum power. This groove should have been equipped with correction tools such as circlips, because it has been around for a long time.
, has been lost, and now there is no sunlight as a reference, so we can only calculate by feeling. It is extremely energy-consuming to calculate the accurate position." Zhao Yuan took a long breath.
"This mechanism will cost eight top-quality crystals. Doesn't the eight mechanisms cost sixty-four top-quality crystals?" Wan Ling'er asked.
"certainly."
"Oh my God, this formation consumes too much crystals!" Even Wan Ling'er, who has a huge wealth, was amazed. You know, many cultivation sects with thousands of years of history have collected top-quality crystals.
Stones are also extremely rare.
"If it hadn't consumed too many crystals, how could this formation be abandoned?" Fairy Caixia said lightly.
After listening to Fairy Caixia's words, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of enlightenment.
Presumably, as Fairy Caixia said, the top quality crystals consumed in this Jie Pai pass are too large, even the financial resources of the Great Qin Empire cannot support it. As time goes by, and the western border pass is surrounded by the natural dangers of the Er Desert, this
The formation was gradually abandoned and abandoned.
Of course, no one knows the reason why the Eight-Star Array was abandoned. Perhaps, a certain general embezzled the spar and then destroyed part of the information about the Eight-Star Array. In the end, the Eight-Star Array was gradually forgotten and abandoned.
…
…
This period of busyness lasted until the sun rose.
When the fiery red sunlight shone on the city wall of Jiepai Xiongguan, a strange scene appeared.
The top-grade crystals placed in the eight organs of the Eight-Star Array refracted red light, and the light reflected onto the huge bluestone slab. The bluestone slab emitted light. Then, the light seemed to be spiritual and rotated around the city wall. Eight rays
The light rays shot out in eight directions and converged over Jiepai Xiongguan, forming a huge three-dimensional red eight-pointed star in the sky.
The eight-pointed star keeps rotating under the sky, like a huge gear. The spectacle is filled with a mysterious atmosphere.
This wonderful scene lasted for less than a stick of incense, when the rotating eight-pointed star disappeared, and the surging mist in the sky also disappeared, as if the dreamlike scenery had never appeared.
Everything returned to normal, but the soldiers vaguely felt that the ancient city wall seemed to suddenly become full of vitality. This was a very strange feeling, because the city wall that had just looked dilapidated and old suddenly suddenly became full of vitality.
It was filled with new vitality. It was thick, dangerous and dignified, which was daunting.
Zhao Yuan ordered that all the boulders be restored to their original positions.
"Zhao Yuan, this ancient city seems to be alive." Tomorrow's eyes rolled around, and he kept looking left and right under the base of the city wall.
"Alive..." Zhao Yuan couldn't help being stunned.
"Yes, there is a feeling of being alive, how to describe it... In the past, Jiepai Xiongguan occasionally gave people a feeling of looking up, like a towering mountain... Oh... no no... it should be like
A huge corpse, even a corpse, will arouse a sense of awe because it is too big, and now, this corpse has been resurrected..."
"You described it very well, yes, it is alive!" Zhao Yuan said calmly as he walked forward along the base of the city wall, looking up at the towering city wall.
"Is it so powerful?" Mingyue asked curiously.
"I don't know, but according to ancient records, this eight-star array can not only kill evil spirits, but also extend the lives of the residents in the city... No wonder the residents of the city used the octagonal pattern as a totem worship." Zhao Yuan
A flash of inspiration suddenly dawned on me.
"When will Sanxian come?" Wan Ling'er asked.
"They are coming soon." A wise smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yuan's mouth.
In the afternoon of that day, Zhao Yuan sent troops to the Tianzun Grand Canyon.
Five thousand elite troops of the Great Qin Empire.
These five thousand elite cavalry are not warriors, but they are all brave and skilled iron-blooded warriors.
Leading the five thousand elite cavalry were Meng De and twenty senior warriors.
Twenty high-level warriors, this is the number determined by Zhao Yuan after careful consideration, because twenty high-level warriors should be evenly matched with the strength of Penglai Immortal Island.
Mengde led twenty warriors and five thousand elite cavalry, trekking for two days and two nights in the Er Desert, lurking in a Gobi Desert, waiting for their target.
Meng De lurked and didn't mention it, but talked about the Sanxian.
Zhao Yuan blew up the square stone tower that Sanxian spent decades building. Although it was not completely destroyed, it still blew up the stone tower to pieces, making Sanxian extremely angry and even more crazy.
Yes, Zhao Yuan actually stole his two extremely rare black-heart sacred trees and red-heart sacred trees.
For this loose immortal, the uses of the Red Heart Sacred Tree and the Black Heart Sacred Tree are far more than just killing people and saving people. These two trees are the spiritual veins of that small island.
The so-called spiritual veins are capable of nourishing all things, and are similar to dragon veins.
Although the Black-Heart Sacred Tree and the Red-Heart Sacred Tree cannot be compared with the majestic and majestic Dragon Veins, their miraculousness is very understandable. Not only are they gods themselves, they can also nourish all living creatures within hundreds of feet. In the world of cultivation,
, is an extremely rare treasure of heaven and earth.
The two stone unicorns that Zhao Yuan killed were actually bred into life by two trees. Over time, they acquired souls and became guardian beasts.
Of course, the two unicorns were only in shape and lacked the true charm of the divine beasts, and their magical powers were far from those of the real divine beasts. Otherwise, Zhao Yuan would not have easily killed them.
Zhao Yuan didn't know that he had ruined hundreds of years of hard work by the Sanxian.
What was destroyed by Zhao Yuan was not only two rare trees and two false mythical beasts, but also the huge sea monster in the sea.
The sea monster was not a mythical beast, but was tamed by the Sanxian. It had some superficial magic power and was used for warning. Zhao Yuan stabbed more than a dozen holes in its neck and died a long time ago.
The daring Zhao Yuan angered Sanxian.
Sanxian personally led the 200,000 lions of the Er Empire to attack the Qin Empire in a mighty manner.
Just as Zhao Yuan predicted, Sanxian is an extremely cautious cultivator. On Penglai Island, apart from leaving very few people to supervise the work, all the masters of cultivation came out.
After trekking non-stop in the desert for more than half a month, Sanxian made clouds and rain along the way to provide shelter for the army, and he was close to the border of the Qin Empire.
