Chapter 1540: Strange Array Pillar
Before setting off north, Bai Ziqi left two divine servants in Xuncheng and ordered them to carefully investigate Nangong Yan's actions during his lifetime.
"Assuming that the person who killed Nangong Yan was Emperor Jiuyou, then Nangong Yan and Emperor Jiuyou may have had a personal feud. Moreover, Nangong Yan and others were only left dead at the city gate. Emperor Jiuyou himself did not show up in public, did not wear his iconic armor, and did not publicly judge and execute Nangong Yan. What does this mean?"
While everyone was thinking, Bai Qi said, "Is this the first scene of the Nine Nether Emperor? Judging from the time, the Luosheng Armor in the ruins of Keling has not yet been unveiled."
"That's right! The Nine Nether Emperor who killed Nangong Yan outside the city gate didn't have so many gimmicks at this time. It's not even ruled out that he fought Nangong Yan with his true face!" Bai Ziqi said solemnly, "So you have to carefully investigate what Nangong Yan did five days before he was killed, no, ten days before, and who he offended!"
It has only been over half a year since the coup in this country, so there should be many clues to pick up.
"Nangong Yan's former companions may even be left in Xuncheng." Bai Ziqi ordered, "Find them and get the information!"
"Yes!"
Then, Bai Ziqi set off for Baimao Mountain.
That was the territory of the Xiaoyao Sect, and no one was allowed to approach. Bai Ziqi asked about the origin of the name change of Baimao Mountain, and asked Guide Liu to wait in the town at the foot of the mountain, while he only took a few divine servants up the mountain.
For a mission like this, it would be useless to bring too many people into the mountains.
He originally looked down on the restrictions set up by the Xiaoyao Sect at the entrance to the mountain, but he found that they were set up quite secretly. Once triggered, it would not only trigger a powerful counterattack, but also alarm the Xiaoyao Sect.
A Daoist sect from a small place could also set up such a high-level formation? Bai Ziqi was not worried but happy.
He was originally worried that the information from God Puin was inaccurate, but the fact that there was such a high-level restriction on entering the mountain meant that there really was something on Baimao Mountain.
Otherwise, why would the Xiaoyao Sect put so much effort into an empty mountain?
Oh, no, this is a serious matter. The Xiaoyao Sect is most likely no longer in control of the situation.
After figuring out the nature of the restriction, the divine servant took out the pills and had each person take one. Then he took out a wolfskin cloak and put it on.
The effect of this drug is very interesting. It can shrink the body size of the user to half of its original size within fifty breaths, accompanied by a strong sense of discomfort.
Bai Ziqi was six feet tall, but after taking the medicine, he quickly became three feet tall, a standard dwarf.
After putting on the specially made wolf-skin cloaks, everyone lay down on the ground and turned into living wolves!
In other words, at least it looks similar to a wild wolf, can run on all fours like a wolf, and even swing its tail like a wolf.
If you look closely, you will find quite a few problems. It's a bit rough and children may easily have nightmares at night after watching it.
But there is no problem in using it to cheat the ban.
Baimao Mountain is so big and there are countless wild animals. If one or two animals come over, it will trigger the ban, and the Xiaoyao Sect will be busy all day long.
So no matter how this ban works, it will definitely be lenient towards wild animals.
With the help of the lamp spirit to cover up the fluctuations of magic power on their bodies, Bai Ziqi and others passed the restrictions of the mountain gate smoothly.
Baimao Mountain is very large and a very magnificent mountain range. In the past, the White Bear King used this place as his lair, and he had thousands of bear soldiers, wolf generals, and animal troops under his command, which shows how vast Baimao Mountain is.
With such a large range, people don’t have to worry about touching the restrictions again, but how can they find Master Qianhuan’s formation?
This is truly hiding the trees in the forest.
"We need to find a formation pillar first, and the rest will be easy." Bai Ziqi ordered, "God Pu Yin said that there is one within 80 feet to the north of the mountain gate. Let's go quickly while it's still early."
The crowd bypassed the mountain gate and sneaked into the impenetrable jungle.
It is a cloudless day today, and it is easy to tell due north based on the position of the sun through the leaves.
Not long after, Bai Qi, who was the scout ahead, came running back: "Found it, right in front of us!"
In fact, it is difficult to find, this thing is really big!
With Bai Ziqi's experience, this was the first time he had seen such a strange formation:
It is neither gold, stone nor wood, but a large cluster of incredible fern-like curled leaves!
Brownish red, harder than stone, from a distance they look like a bunch of giant question marks squeezed together, or like the curved tentacles of an octopus - they rise from the ground, up to a height of about 15 zhang (nearly 50 meters)!
There are many giant trees in Baimao Mountain, but the giant fern tree with such a strange appearance still stands out among the mountains.
No wonder Master Qianhuan wanted to disguise it, otherwise it would be a conspicuous bag no matter how you look at it.
This cluster of giant ferns is so thick that it would take thirteen people to hug it. It is quite spectacular whether viewed from afar or up close. The trees are covered with mosses and vines, and have scars and spots of moss, which show that they have been weathered for a long time.
Bai Ziqi walked forward and knocked on the bark, making a popping sound.
“The epidermis is fossilized.”
Bai Qiqi asked, "There are so many strange things in the world, why would Master Qianhuan use this thing as a formation pillar?"
Isn’t it good to use strange stones? They will last for thousands of years.
Bai Ziqi leaned over the tree and listened.
After a while, he said, "Although its skin has been petrified, it is still alive inside. This giant fern is still growing."
"Perhaps, this half-stone, half-fern, half-life and half-death state is closest to the soil power of Baimao Mountain?" He thought for a moment and said, "When immortals set up the spirit gathering formation, they must adapt to local conditions. The materials selected by Master Qianhuan must be the most suitable for Baimao Mountain."
"Okay, our current task is to find the remaining pillars of the Spirit Gathering Array."
For so many years, the Xiaoyao Sect had not discovered the existence of the Spirit Gathering Array. It must be because True Man Qianhuan had camouflaged these giant ferns, making them look like ordinary trees, except that they were a little bigger and taller.
Now the formation has inexplicably stopped working, the disguise has been broken, and the giant fern tree has finally revealed its true appearance.
While it was still light, Bai Ziqi took out a pale golden candle and waved it in the wind, and the lamp spirit appeared.
He pressed the candle to the giant fern tree and said, "Go to the mountains and look for giant trees like this. Mark each one you find."
The lamp spirit flew back and forth around the giant fern tree, as if observing it carefully, and even drilled into the gaps.
After a while, it returned to Bai Ziqi.
Reconnaissance completed.
He blew a long breath towards the lamp spirit.
When blown like this, the fist-sized lamp spirit exploded into thousands of small sparks that flew in all directions!
The scene was like a swarm of fireflies descending.
Every little spark is an incarnation of the lamp spirit.
They conducted a carpet search throughout the mountain, not leaving out any large tree.
Otherwise, Baimao Mountain is so big that even if there were thousands of people, not to mention just a few, they wouldn’t be enough.
"Let's take a look at their search results." Bai Ziqi took a round purple gold shallow plate with a diameter of about five feet from the servant boy.
