After the immortal disappeared

Then, he poured the melted candle oil onto the plate, and while it was still a thick liquid, he quickly shook it until the entire bottom of the plate was evenly covered with candle oil.

After a few dozen breaths, the candle oil solidified into a pale golden white wax.

Everyone could see that there was a small light spot on the edge of the plate. Bai Ziqi pointed at it and said, "This is the location of the giant fern tree near the mountain gate. The rest, wait."

The next step was to give it time. The servant spread the fur on the bluestone for Bai Ziqi and asked him to sit down. The rest of the people sat nearby and entered a long wait.

A quarter of an hour passed.

Two quarters of an hour...

Three quarters of an hour...

Nothing happened.

Bai Ziqi closed his eyes and rested: "It seems that this formation has a large range."

The flying speed of the lamp spirits was extremely fast, and there were many of them. After so long, they still couldn't encounter the next formation pillar.

Bai Ziqi was not surprised. The Xushan formation of Lingxu City covered the nine main peaks, not to mention the other small mountains.

How could the area of ​​a formation that could gather spiritual energy for Master Qianhuan be too small?

About half an hour later, the servant boy suddenly said, "There's movement!"

Everyone looked over and saw another light spot suddenly appear on the white background of the wax plate.

This was the next giant fern tree that the lamp spirit clone encountered. It was impossible for it to run back to report to its master halfway, so it used its magical powers to mark its location in the wax plate.

An hour later, another light spot appeared in the plate.

At this speed... everyone looked at each other and sighed secretly. It would probably take at least a dozen hours for the lamp spirit to find all the positions!

Sure enough, the first night passed quickly.

The waiting time was the most difficult, but Bai Ziqi took out a pile of files and materials and buried his head in reading them.

The servant boy came over several times and found that the master had circled the materials with a red pen. He counted silently, and among the circled words, "eliminating violence and protecting the good", "doing justice for the heavens", and "extremely evil" appeared most frequently.

"My Lord, what are you doing?"

"I was wondering why the Great Emperor Jiuyou always gave these verdicts at every trial?"

Bai Qi replied: "Maybe he was looking for an excuse to punish himself, and the villagers and women felt relieved when they saw him."

"He basically gave the right verdicts." Bai Ziqi held his chin, "What does this man want to do by stirring up trouble in the Shining Gold Plain?"

Unable to figure out the murderer's motives and purpose, he was in a passive position when tracking the suspect, and it was difficult to judge the other party's next step.

Easy tasks never came to him.

The servant boy comforted him: "My Lord, don't be too hard on yourself. No one in the Shining Gold Plain can answer this question."

Bai Qi also said: "Not to mention that Yaoguo couldn't catch the Great Emperor Jiuyou, I guess Qingyang Regent probably also used people to investigate, but they just didn't have any clues."

"Others are others." Bai Ziqi is Bai Ziqi.

"When the Nine Nether Emperor does these things, his purpose must not be too dark." Just a little conspiracy can't support the current trend of the Golden Plains, which is booming and bustling.

This person must be using an open conspiracy, and he must know how to go with the flow.

"We only look at his killing cases, and he was led by the nose throughout the whole process, hammering here and there, and it is impossible to figure out his true intentions." Bai Ziqi stretched lazily, "Besides, the Nine Nether Emperor has been covering himself up and has also set up a lot of doubts for us."

To deal with an opponent of the level of the Nine Nether Emperor, "what to do" is not urgent, but to find out "what the other party thinks" is the top priority!

As long as the Nine Nether Emperor's psychology is understood, Bai Ziqi will have a chance to predict the opponent's prediction.

At this moment, his subordinate pointed to the purple gold tray and whispered: "It's lit again, the eighteenth light spot!"

On the plate, each light spot represents the location of a giant fern tree.

After a whole day and night of hard work, there are finally eighteen light spots on the purple gold plate.

Bai Ziqi pointed at the plate and asked his followers: "What do you think? What kind of formation is this?"

A day ago, there were only a few spots of light that could not make any sense, but now a general idea has been revealed. Bai Ziqi brought out various talents, including those who specialize in formations and barriers. They had already been guessing the formation diagram on the purple gold plate. At this time, he said: "There are still many giant ferns that have not been found, but observing the general formation, I guess that there is a 60% chance that it is the Great Tiangang Formation!"

"Well, there are still eighteen giant ferns." Tiangang Thirty-Six Numbers, "Mark them out first."

The divine servant took a branch and tapped the wax on the purple gold plate eighteen times. According to his calculations, the remaining eighteen giant ferns should be lit at these locations.

After another five hours, three golden lights lit up on the purple gold plate in turn, which were indeed the same as the positions pointed by the divine servant.

Because of their accurate predictions, the progress of the lamp spirit's search work was accelerated a lot.

It was dark again, and there were still fifteen giant ferns that had not been found.

At this moment, a golden light flew back and turned into a small lamp spirit, whispering in Bai Ziqi's ear.

"Someone has entered the mountain." Bai Ziqi pointed to a nearby tree, "Hide."

These were the lamp spirit sentinels he placed near the mountain gate. They were not used to repel the enemy, but only to send out messages.

He only brought five people into the mountain. The target was small and easy to hide in the mountains.

The five people were divided into three groups, each climbing up a big tree and squatting, calming their minds and spirits. These big trees were lush and leafy, covering the sky and blocking the sun, so it was easy to hide a few people.

Soon, more than a hundred people hurried over on the mountain road, first to check the giant fern tree, and then divided into groups here:

"Our bird scouts said that there are light spots the size of fireflies appearing in the mountain forest, wandering around, and circling around when they encounter a giant fern tree. This should be the magical power released by unknown people. You disperse to find the giant fern tree. It’s better to catch some light spots and bring them back.”

"Also, here is an order to capture all mountain monsters and wild monsters who meet outsiders or strange monsters!"

After the group of people had gone away, the waiter asked Bai Ziqi in a low voice: "Your Majesty, let's..."

Bai Ziqi knew what he wanted to ask: "Don't worry, there are still fifteen giant ferns that have not been found."

Everyone in the Heavenly Palace waited patiently on the tree for another seven hours.

During this period, people often walked by the mountain path and under the trees, and the divine servant whispered: "There are quite a few people in the Xiaoyao Sect."

Bai Ziqi shook his head: "Not all of them are members of the Xiaoyao Sect."

After everyone thought about it, they understood.

Qianhuan Zhenren is one of the pillars of Lingshan. If his spirit gathering formation is suddenly damaged, Lingshan will of course send people over to investigate and repair it.

Those running around in this mountain are probably from Lingshan.

In this way, we cannot take it lightly.

As he spoke, another bright spot appeared on the purple gold plate, and Bai Qi exclaimed: "It's different!"

The light spots that lit up on the plate did not coincide with the positions they had marked in advance!

"Interesting." Bai Ziqi immediately became energetic. This is the reason why he insisted on waiting until the end: this formation is not a universal Great Tiangang formation.

Yes, how could the spirit-gathering formation set up by Master Qianhuan be an ordinary formation?

After waiting for a while, two more bright spots appeared, but their locations were exactly as predicted.

But after waiting for another five hours, the ten shining points that were refreshed were even more deviating from their estimated positions.

One of them only flashed a few times before disappearing.

Bai Ziqi's face darkened: "I was caught."

The clone of the lamp spirit guarding the giant fern tree was captured by the pursuers. Bai Ziqi was not surprised. There were similar risks when he used this magical power.

"Calm down, wait!"

Wait for the last two points of light to appear!

Fortunately, his lantern clone was very good at finding these two in one go, because they were arranged very close to each other.

"Okay, quickly calculate the position of the formation eye."

They have memorized the position of the disappearing light spot, and combined with the thirty-five light spots on the disk, everyone must quickly calculate the position of the formation eye within a limited time.

During the calculation process, four or five more light spots on the plate were extinguished one after another.

The reaction speed of Lingshan and Xiaoyao Sect was not slow, and they had already discovered that the lamp spirit was coming towards the giant fern tree. They can go directly to the giant fern tree to capture the lantern spirit.

If this continues, the speed at which the Purple Gold Disk will disappear will only become faster and faster.

Playing like this tests your memory.

Fortunately, at the same time that the seventh light spot disappeared, Bai Ziqi finally led his men to calculate the position, broke a branch and tapped it lightly on the plate:

"here!"

After calculating it, this should be the position of the formation eye!

Two mirror lights shot out from the canopy of trees on the opposite side, flashing several times in succession. This was the waiter's warning: "There are people here again! There are many people this time."

Apparently, the strange situation in Baimao Mountain was also reported to the sect, and Qianshan sent more troops here one after another.

"Let's go!" Bai Ziqi took out the light gold candle and broke it in half.

The golden light spots in the purple gold plate all disappeared at once.

This means that the lantern clones in the wild are also extinguished, otherwise the person holding the light spot may use it to track Bai Ziqi in reverse.

Everyone in the Heavenly Palace took the opportunity to go down to the ground and rush to the position of the formation eye marked on the purple gold plate.

It may seem like a small spot on a plate, but in fact the White Mao Mountains are so vast that it would take at least a whole day to get there.

Of course, no matter how many people were let into such a big mountain, they would disappear in an instant. They dodged four or five groups of mountain patrols and practitioners along the way, and finally arrived at the formation eye position marked on the purple gold plate before sunset.

There is an open pebble beach here, and you can see that there was a river originally, and the runoff is not small. There are several huge trees on the ridge, like standing silent guards in the forest.

Other than that, this is what an ordinary mountain forest should look like, except that the vegetation is more lush.

There is nothing special, no strange rocks, no strange trees, and no sudden or spectacular sights. Could it be that the formation is below the ground?

Bai Ziqi asked his subordinates: "Can't it be more precise?"

"No more." A "dot" on the map may correspond to a large forest in reality!

"With a radius of five miles, there is no way to reduce it any further."

Bai Ziqi said solemnly: "Qianhuan Zhenren chose to set up the spirit gathering formation here because of the special characteristics of Longshou Mountain. Either there is an incredible artifact here, or Longshou Mountain itself is a whole A strange object; and there are two possibilities for the sudden exposure of the Spirit Gathering Formation. Maybe there is a malfunction in the formation, or maybe the formation eye is damaged or taken away! "
