Chapter 28: The Old Man Nine Jue

But now the night is over and dawn is approaching. Even if Feng Ruo suspected that the strangeness here was related to the astrological signs in the sky, he had no time to speculate. Therefore, he simply cleared a place in the broken building, meditated quietly, and then waited for the night to arrive again.

When Feng Ruo opened his eyes again, the endless stars were still aiming at him, but this time, because he had doubts in his heart, he was watching more carefully.

However, it is not easy to find the weirdness here from these countless stars, because if it is simply stargazing, it will definitely make people collapse, not to mention that he has always known very little about such things!

But Feng Ruo had his own method, which was to rely on the qi sensing of the flow and changes of the heaven and earth's vital energy. If the weirdness here is really related to astrological signs, the flow of the heaven and earth's vital energy will inevitably leave a trace, and he just needs to follow these traces to check it!

For more than an hour, Feng Ruo always maintained a position, like a sculpture, but suddenly, his body suddenly jumped up from the spot and rushed straight to a position dozens of feet away!

After arriving here, he first quickly inserted the place with the Thunder Sword, and then placed eight black jades around the Thunder Sword. After doing these strange movements, he quickly pulled the Thunder Sword and rushed to another location dozens of feet away, and then arranged eight black jades again in the same way.

In just a few dozen breaths, Feng Ruo found eight hidden places on this cliff, and then used sixty-four pieces of black jade to calm him down!

If these eight directions are connected, the abandoned courtyard will be surrounded in the center!

"So that's it. The owner of this courtyard is quite scheming and deliberately built the bluestone wall into a formation. But in fact, the real layout is outside the wall. If outsiders come, they may be confused. But what is the layout trying to cover up?"

Feng Ruo stood in the courtyard and frowned and thought hard. He finally found the reason why the energy of heaven and earth is abnormal. That is, the original owner had no idea what kind of moves underground in the eight directions he had just suppressed, and the result was that the courtyard would never be arranged into any formation. This is why this courtyard was abandoned.

Of course, now Feng Ruo uses 64 pieces of black jade to suppress those eight directions, then he can already arrange the positive and negative formations normally, but he always feels something is wrong, as if he is missing something!

"No matter what, let's arrange the nine-star formations with the front and back first. You can't delay your foundation building!"

Thinking of this, Feng Ruo temporarily gave up the idea of ​​finding the root cause, but at this moment he looked up at the sky inadvertently, but was stunned, because in this moment, the stars on the sky actually had extremely strange changes. What's even more exaggerated is that there were nine dazzling stars in the sky. These nine stars were currently running against each other in a very mysterious trajectory, and what they corresponded to was the courtyard where Feng Ruo was located!

"It's true! The stars in this sky are indeed illusions. If I hadn't suppressed those eight directions, I would have never been able to see the truth inside!"

After a shock, Feng Ruo quickly calmed down. In fact, he had long been a little suspicious, because under the influence of the peak formation, the entire Zhitian Peak was always filled with snow. There was no sunshine in the daytime and no starlight at night. However, there was an extremely clear starry sky in this place. If it weren't for the illusion, it would be really unreasonable.

But this illusion is simply too real. Even if you are suspicious, you can't find any flaws. Moreover, there are not many strange things here except for the inability to arrange formations. I think not many people can see through this situation!

After staring at it for a long time, Feng Ruo then matched the eight stars in the sky with the eight directions he had just found, but there was still the brightest star left in the sky!

"Is there another direction that cannot be achieved? But where is it? And if it is nine directions, it seems to be inconsistent with the various formations in the immortal world?"

Feng Ruo thought strangely, you should know that whether it is the positive and negative formation of mountain or the positive and negative nine-star formation, there have always been eight directions. He has never seen a formation with nine directions! But then he thought of something!

"No! The Nine Heavens Flowing Clouds Array are nine directions! The ninety-nine eighty-one giant swords correspond to nine directions. Could it be that the former owner of this courtyard was still a heart-refiner?"

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Feng Ruo immediately began to deduce the location of the ninth direction. He was almost certain that as long as he could find the ninth direction, something unexpected would definitely happen!

Although there are eight directions as references, Feng Ruo is still very difficult to deduce, because the trajectory of the last bright star in the sky is really incredible. Even if it is related to the other eight star, it is also quite independent at the same time!

So Feng Ruo had to deduce and run around the courtyard while deducing the area within a radius of nearly a thousand feet one by one, and then he vaguely deduces the roughness of that direction!

"No! It's thousands of feet away, what the hell!"

Feng Ruo really had a headache. The distance of thousands of feet was of course nothing to him, but the problem was that he had to cross a cliff that was unknown how deep it was, and that direction was on the top of the mountain on the other side of the cliff!

After confirming it over and over again, Feng Ruo released the Thunder Sword and flew over tremblingly by flying with the sword. Fortunately, the cliff is only more than a hundred feet wide, and there is no danger at all.

When he arrived at this mountain, Feng Ruo did not dare to neglect and immediately started looking for it, because it would not take long for it to dawn. Then he would have no choice but to find the ninth direction again. Moreover, he had a strange premonition in his heart. If he could not find this direction before dawn, he would probably never find it!

This small hill is actually very small, so small that it will be ignored even if you pass by nearby. Feng Ruo never noticed this place yesterday. If he hadn't followed the deduction along the way, he would have been sure that even if he lived on this cliff for a hundred years, he would not have noticed it.

Of course, even if it is such a small mountain, it is very difficult to accurately find the ninth direction. Even if the small mountain is completely cut off, it will have no effect.

Fortunately, Feng Ruo had roughly determined the location before. At this time, he deduced it for a while and finally found the ninth location in an inconspicuous position on the top of the mountain!

"Haha! It's here! I want to see what's weird here!"

Feng Ruo rushed up with a quick step, first inserted the Thunder Sword, then quickly took out eight low-grade Five Elements Stones and placed them around, because he no longer had black jade in his hand. After all, he did not expect that this Huangzi No. 19 courtyard had such an incredible formation!

After the arrangement was completed, Feng Ruo gritted his teeth and decided to operate the formation. Of course, the price was that he wasted eight low-grade Five Elements Stones, but now he was curious about gaining the upper hand, so no matter what, if he wanted to see what secrets hidden in this strange formation!

A magic power was directly shot out along the Thunder Sword, and then injected into the eight low-grade Five Elements Stones one by one. Soon, these eight low-grade Five Elements Stones were activated one after another, and then all the essences were injected into the ground along the Thunder Sword. At almost the same time, light flashed in the eight directions thousands of feet away.

After the light appeared for several breaths, the nine bright stars in the sky suddenly gathered together strangely, forming a huge fireball, and then shot towards Feng Ruo's position like a meteor!

"Oh no! What's going on?"

Seeing this scene, Feng Ruo was shocked. Could it be that he had touched some mechanism? If he was hit by this meteor, even if he had a hundred lives, he would have to be killed!

Without any hesitation, Feng Ruo didn't care to pull out the Thunder Sword and then ran away. However, until he ran more than ten feet away, he did not notice a violent bombardment. In his curiosity, he couldn't help but look back, but he was stunned, because there were still meteors?

Even the bright stars on the sky disappeared, replaced by howling mountain winds and flying snow in the sky!

"Is this - this - the illusion broken by myself?"

After a long time, Feng Ruo came to his senses. You should know that within a few moments, there was a quiet area within a few thousand feet nearby, and the starry sky was vast!

"What a pity, I lost eight low-grade Five Elements Stones in vain, but in the end I was only given a illusion that was broken. This transaction was really a loss!"

He returned with some sigh. Feng Ruo wanted to pull up the Thunder Sword inserted on the ground, but the Thunder Sword seemed to be frozen on the ground, and it didn't move at all. He tried hard again, but still didn't move!

"Uh! I won't say that even the Thunder Sword is going to be compensated, right?" Feng Ruo was anxious this time, directly activated his magic power, then exhaled and pulled it hard, but what made him feel strange was that his power of thousands of pounds still could not move the Thunder Sword at all!

"Damn it! I want to see what's weird here!"

Feng Ruo took out another fourth-grade sword weapon and started to be excavated here!

But what surprised him was that the ice around the Thunder Sword was not too strong. He quickly dug a deep pit. At this time, he discovered that the Thunder Sword was actually stuck in a square and strange box. No wonder he couldn't pull it out.

Seeing this strange box, Feng Ruo was suddenly excited. Because he was almost certain that the owner of the courtyard who arranged the strange formation wanted to hide the box in this way.

Without any hesitation, Feng Ruo knocked off the Thunder Sword clamped on it, then put the stone box into the storage belt, and then returned to the broken courtyard thousands of feet away.

Without rushing to open the strange box, Feng Ruo first arranged the forward and reverse nine-star formation, cleaned the entire courtyard and small building, and then meditated quietly for two hours before taking out the box again.

The material of this box is very rough, and the overall black is black, and it looks like it has not been polished. However, Feng Ruo cannot tell which material this thing belongs to. He can only guess that this thing is very hard, at least with the sharpness of the Thunder Sword, it cannot leave traces on it!

In addition, the switch of this box is also extremely simple, but there is a simple lid on it, which looks like it can be opened with a casual lift!

"I hope there will be no monsters and monsters inside!"

Feng Ruo thought to himself, because he could not tell now whether the strange formation before was suppressing this box or hiding this box?

To be careful, Feng Ruo left for a while and then opened the lid with the Thunder Sword. But what surprised him was that there were neither monsters nor ghosts popping out inside, nor any colorful treasures. There was only a black jade slip in the inconspicuous corner!

"Uh! What does this mean? However, black jade slips are rare in the world of immortal cultivation!"

Feng Ruo picked up the inconspicuous black jade slip and input a trace of magic power. However, no words appeared on the jade slip as usual, but a somewhat vague voice sounded in his mind, unable to tell whether it was a man or a woman.

After listening for a long time, Feng Ruo's expression became more and more strange, because according to the voice, the person who left the jade slip was a cultivator who claimed to be the old man Jiujue thousands of years ago. At the same time, the courtyard and the strange formation here were also left by him. In addition, he also left a Nine Heavens Flowing Cloud Formation in the Sword Lu Valley!

And this means that the master mentioned by the white-haired old man in Jianlu Xiaogu is this Jiujue Old Man!

However, the reason why the old man Jiujue made such arrangements here was to select successors.

Because according to the voice, the old man Jiujue had five disciples, but none of them were qualified to practice the Nine Heavens Liuyun Jue Formation. However, they did not realize this and racked their brains to get the practice techniques of the Nine Heavens Liuyun Jue Formation.

On that day, he was about to ascend to the tribulation and had no time to find a suitable disciple again. However, if he really handed over the Nine Heavens Liuyun Jue Formation to those five disciples, with their qualifications, even if he was not backfired, he might become obsessed with it, which would harm them.

So it is precisely because of this that the old man Jiujue deliberately built a courtyard here, and then hid the mental method of practicing the Nine Heavens Flowing Clouds in a strange formation. In this way, even if his five disciples dig all the courtyard three feet away, they would not be able to find the mental method, because this formation is maintained by the astrological signs in the sky. If the exact direction is not found, even if the entire cliff is flattened, it will be useless!
