One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 187 186: Mysterious Array

In Gan Jingchen's opinion, the direction out of the town was not far ahead.

However, after walking for so long, I still haven’t seen the exit.

When a person discovers that his cognition is wrong, he will soon fall into a state of insecurity and confusion.

However, Gan Jingchen is not an ordinary person. He is a Purple Mansion cultivator. When he cannot see the direction or the way forward clearly, he will find a way to make himself see clearly.

He took out a seed from his treasure bag.

This seed is called fairy bean.

When he threw the seeds on the ground, he spit a mouthful of spiritual saliva on the seeds. The seeds sprouted and grew quickly, and then a bean sprout grew. It continued to grow, bloom, and bear fruit. In a short period of time, the fruit was produced.

The fruit is a bean.

The bean plants dried up and the beans fell out of their shells. However, after the beans fell to the ground, they seemed to have fallen into the yellow snow, leaving only small holes.

Gan Jingchen was heard chanting a spell: "The immortal seed of Mianshan can understand human nature. If you can understand human nature, please show yourself."

After a while, a number of yellow little people emerged from the small hole.

"Go find an exit." Gan Jingchen ordered.

The little bean men ran away in all directions, more than fifty of them in total.

Gan Jingchen stood there without moving. His little doll had not come back yet, but someone came out from behind a house. It was Ximending who had escaped from the town in the beginning.

"Sir, why are you here too?" Ximending asked. He was surprised because he saw Gan Jingchen flying away from the sky.

But seeing him at this moment, there is only one possibility, that is, he cannot leave heaven.

After asking the question, he thought of these things in his mind, and immediately said: "Sir, this town is weird and strange, it seems to be a large formation. I have been changing directions and trying to go out, but I can't find the way out of the town at all."

Gan Jingchen was of course aware of this situation and asked, "Can you enter these rooms?"

"I haven't." Ximending said, and then explained, "I feel that the people in these houses have extremely evil intentions, so I dare not enter."

Gan Jingchen didn't say anything, he was thinking in his heart.

It can be said that the four arts of alchemy, talismans, formations and weapons are indispensable to all practitioners. They are closely related to one's own practice. There are countless books on the relevant subjects in the world.

Pills are beneficial to spiritual practice. Whether it is in terms of refining qi or nourishing the spirit, the benefits of pills are extremely great.

Talismans are beneficial to both spiritual practice and fighting.

Formations are helpful in fighting, but they also require formations to establish a place that is beneficial to one's own practice.

Generally speaking, the four arts of alchemy, talismans, weapons and formations are precious arts among the hundred arts. Many people practice them, but not many can truly achieve success.

What is meant by learning something is different for everyone.

Gan Jingchen thought that he was quite good at refining pills, but it was of no use here.

As for formations, it is certainly impossible for him to know nothing about them. A Purple Mansion cultivator should at least understand some principles and basics of formations.

But now he was trapped in this formation, just like Ximending, he was completely in the dark and couldn't understand anything. He only knew that he must not rush in recklessly. In such a formation, the more he rushed in recklessly, he would be like a fish in a net, the tighter he would be entangled. It would be best if he could find the direction and solution to successfully untie it. Of course, some mana and spells would also be needed.

However, when it comes to using mana and spells, you must find the key to it.

But he knew very well that he couldn't find it because he didn't know where to look. He was a little panicked, but he didn't want Ximending to see it, so he said: "Don't panic, there is no perfect formation in this world, everything is changing, as long as we stay calm, we can find the flaws."

Ximen Ding practiced swordsmanship, and all his skills were in the sword. If there was an enemy in front of him, he would naturally kill him with the sword. However, if there was no enemy in front of him, his sword could not cut through mountains or break through formations.

This is also what Ximending fears the most, an invisible enemy, which makes him feel like he is fighting against the heaven and earth.

So he could only bow his head and say "yes".

Gan Jingchen was still waiting for his little bean men to come back. He had a vague sense of connection with those little bean men, but the sense was not very clear. However, not long after, he felt that his little bean men were disappearing one by one.

He approached the place where the last little bean man disappeared, and when he found it, he saw a little bean man covered with yellow soil. He picked it up and reached out to peel off the yellow soil, but as he peeled, he found that the little bean man inside had also turned into yellow soil.

His heart sank again.

"Sir, if we can't go through the sky or the ground, can we go underground?" asked Ximending.

He had an earth escape talisman and wanted to see if he could escape from underground.

"If we go into the ground, we will definitely die." Gan Jingchen said immediately.

This formation was obviously based on earth. The Bean Immortal was covered in earth and turned into an earth ball. If he entered the earth at this time, wouldn't that be a trap? As long as he entered the earth, he was sure that in a short while, he would turn into an earth man.

At this time, the yellow earth in the sky pressed down towards the town with a faint dragon roar. The wind blew in the town, and the yellow earth swirled and flew in the streets and in front of the houses.

Gan Jingchen kept dodging, and when there were some that he couldn't avoid, he could only use his green jade phoenix tree branch to disperse them.

He broke them up again and again, and felt the same feeling as before when he was hit by the dragon-shaped earth wave in the sky. He couldn't help but think that if he continued like this, his magic power would be exhausted sooner or later.

Ximending Ding was already out of breath, and it was extremely strenuous for him to use the sword in his hand to cut the wind that leaked out from Gan Jingchen's hands.

"Sir, why don't you go into the house to take shelter? I think the wind doesn't even enter the house." After Ximending said this, he rushed into a house without waiting for Gan Jingchen to speak.

Gan Jingchen did not follow him in, but looked at Ximending who entered the house. He wanted to see what the result would be.

Ximending Ding breathed a sigh of relief when he entered the room, then saw a table and sat down there. Then he looked outside, but Gan Jingchen saw that Ximending Ding's face was quickly stiffening.

A hint of khaki appeared in his eyes, and his originally sharp and panicked look quickly became numb.

Gan Jingchen was shocked, but it was not unexpected. He saw that Ximending's body was covered with a layer of yellow soil, and he sat there motionless.

Gan Jingchen waved the jade phoenix tree branch in his hand, and a ray of green light flew out and landed on Ximen Ding's body. The dust on Ximen Ding's body dissipated in the green light, but he found that Ximen Ding's flesh had also turned into mud. In this short period of time, he had turned into a clay sculpture.

He was shocked and angry, but a howling wind blew away dust.

He threw the green jade paulownia branch in his hand to the ground. The branch took root in the ground and quickly grew into a green jade paulownia tree, emitting a mysterious and quiet light. During the growth process, the wind blew up the dust, and when it approached the green jade paulownia tree, the wind stopped and the dust fell.

"Do you think you can defeat me? I want to leave because I don't want to fight with you. Since you try to stop me from leaving, don't blame me. It's still unknown who will live and who will die!" Gan Jingchen threatened hatefully.
