Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

On this day, the century-old Bai family building located on the side of Qiqiao Square in Baiyao City suddenly ushered in a new life.

The elite engineering team from the Bai family renovated a dilapidated old-fashioned building in just half a day, from the foundation to the columns to the top beams... The frame of the small building that had been decayed for a hundred years was completely renovated. Replaced by various new building materials. In the words of the on-site workers, even if one day a famine engulfs White Key City and millions of people in the city die, this small building will definitely be able to stand until the end.

Of course, the worker who was so outspoken at the scene was kicked back to his hometown by Bai Wei, the livid-looking red hat supervisor. But his words were indeed the common sentiment of everyone present.

The Bai family implemented the city defense formation that Lord Shanzhu Wang personally ordered, sparing no expense, and everything was impeccable. The small building itself just happens to occupy a key position in the city defense formation, and is not included in the formation itself. But even so, the Bai family resolutely renovated the small building to the highest standards, and the various arrangements implemented in the array were even more luxurious and rigorous, which is staggering.

Even for a group of industry elites with deep qualifications and rich experience, such high-standard engineering cases are extremely rare.

Then, that night, after finishing the main work during the day, several exhausted elites, led by a local bartender in charge of reception in White Key City, came to a popular restaurant in the famous food street. , to celebrate.

The group was a little reluctant at first. After all, they had been busy all day and many of them didn't have much appetite. Moreover, everyone was urgently transferred to White Key City from thousands of miles away not to enjoy the local delicacies. Finish work as soon as possible and go home as soon as possible. Eat a table of home-cooked food cooked by your wife. The taste is better than any delicacies - of course, if it is home-cooked food cooked by someone else's wife, it will be even better.

Then, when a group of people came to Wei Street and saw the long and bustling queue in front of the small restaurant... their appetite was whetted.

There are two top spices in the world, one is hunger, and the other is "everyone has to queue up, but I have connections and connections, so I can jump in line." Therefore, although this small restaurant called Lao Hong's Home Cooking seems a little unimpressive, and it does not serve Yueyang's local delicacies, it stands to reason that it is not popular with the engineering elite...

However, when the lawyer leading the team showed a note to the dark shop owner and asked him to nod to let him go, the envious and jealous looks from all directions were instantly like the best sobering medicine, which made a person The fatigue of the whole day is gone. The group of people, eager to sing and dance, moved through the crowd and came to an empty table in a corner of the store.

After a few people sat down, the lawyer leading the team knocked on the table with a smug look on his face and said: "Guys, this seat we are sitting in is not ordinary. This is specially reserved by the owner of the store for Master Wang... At noon today, Master Wang had lunch here.”

When a female formation master heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up: "So, can I collect Master Wang Shan's secretions on this table!? This, can I take this table away!?"

After a moment of silence as if a cold wind had struck, a female colleague of the female formation master apologized to the people around her in embarrassment: "Sisi has always been a fanatical supporter of King Shanzhu. Today, she was exhausted and a little bit brain-dead. Please don't." Mind... Sisi, please calm down a little bit. Are you going to be the waiter here and not clean the table? "

"What if! Wait, how about I go and tell the boss first to pack up this kind of table and take it away, so as not to let their secretions contaminate the table..."

boom!

After a muffled sound, the fanatical formation master rolled his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. Her colleague laughed and said, "Sisi is too drunk, let her rest for a while."

Several people glanced at the liquor called Hand Knife Knocking Head in her right hand and skipped the topic in a tacit understanding.

A burly man laughed, broke the embarrassment and said: "Okay, I know that this position is not easy to come by, so why don't our local smug lawyers quickly show off what path they have taken?"

The local lawyer shook his head: "Of course it's not my way. I'm a local, and the owner of this shop is not. It's not easy to be a local coward... It's because of the white consul's face that she saved us from being a millionaire." We have been summoned here from thousands of miles away, so we naturally need good food and good food. Compared to a place like Shengxuelou, where a cup of tea can cost us a month's salary, this kind of home-cooked restaurant is more affordable, even though it is home-cooked food. , but there is no special way, so you can’t wait in line, let alone enjoy the unique craftsmanship of the shop owner.”

The big man was curious: "Oh? The white consul has already taken a back seat, but she can still have such a big reputation that even the people who want to see her are buying into her?"

The lawyer waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Ha, it may not be the account of the white consul himself, but it is said that this small restaurant, from the rent to the ingredients to the special allowances for the boss and staff, are all specially listed by the Northern Territory Business Group The budget supports it. No matter how cold and unreasonable the store owner is, the sponsor’s face still needs to be sold... And if the white consul is willing to use this rare face on us, it counts as our face!”

"Haha, okay, he is indeed the most famous face person in White Key City, and you can get in on this too!"

While they were joking, they had simply ordered some food. Not long after, the table was full of delicacies, and people were eating, drinking, talking and laughing, occasionally glancing at the beautiful scenery outside the window - the beautiful scenery where people in line were looking at the delicious food. So uncomfortable.

However, when the meal was halfway through and everyone was enjoying themselves, there was a rather unsociable face at the table - not the female array master who was not able to hold her liquor at first, but a young man with the best professional skills and theoretical attainments among the group.

Soon after he sat down, he began to be absent-minded. There were a few slices of braised meat that he had picked up casually on the plate in front of him, but he did not pick up his chopsticks until it cooled down. That would have been fine, but when everyone was laughing, he did not even have the consciousness to laugh like a can. He really had his unsociable face written on his face.

Some people were secretly dissatisfied with this, while others directly spoke to test him.

"Bai Huang, why don't you say anything? Is the food not to your taste?"

After being called, Bai Huang woke up as if from a dream. He looked up and was stunned for a while before he quickly apologized to the people at the same table: "Sorry, I was just deducing the array diagram and was a little distracted."

So there was a sigh of regret at the table.

"I say, we are all the elite of the family, and our career path has basically come to an end, so let's stop fighting!?"

"That's right, combine work and rest, brother!"

Facing the criticism of the crowd, Bai Huang bowed his hands again and again: "Sorry, sorry, I will punish myself with three cups... It's just that today, under the guidance of Master Wang, I really benefited a lot from setting up the formation. I can't help but review and summarize it afterwards."

As soon as these words came out, the drunk female formation master Sisi suddenly woke up, her eyes shining, and said: "Really?! You also think Master Wang is very powerful, right? Obviously, he has never been exposed to modern formations, but he can always hit the key points when setting up the formation. He is worthy of being a Lingshan person in the old immortal calendar era. Let me tell you, Master Wang..."

Before she finished her voice, she was drunk again. The colleague shook his head and sighed, "In fact, she was not so obsessed before. It was only after working with Master Wang for a day today that she became brain-dead."

Bai Huang said, "It's not her fault that she lost her composure... To be honest, you are not usually specialized in formations, so you may not be able to understand the shock of us who set up the formations today. Although Master Wang only occasionally came down to guide during the construction and formation process, every time, his ideas and formation techniques were eye-opening and inspiring. In the art of formations, I was confident that even if I couldn't compare with those scholars in the academy, I was at least at the top level of the current Immortal Alliance. But working under Master Wang for half a day today, it was really..."

Before he finished speaking, the burly man beside him patted him on the back, interrupting his boasting.

"Okay, okay, everyone knows that Master Wang is a powerful ancient cultivator, but if you keep talking, you will be paired with Miss Sisi. There is work tomorrow, don't spend all your passion on the first day."

Bai Huang was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly and nodded, picked up the wine glass again, punished himself with a glass, and then interrupted Wang Luo's topic, making the atmosphere at the dinner table lively again.

However, in this warm interval, Bai Huang couldn't help but lower his head and murmured in a voice that only he could hear.

"So, how could such a brilliant Master Wang make such a low-level mistake?"

According to his usual temperament, he was actually not very impatient to participate in this kind of peer socializing. Anyway, as they said, becoming the elite of the Bai family, the career path is basically over. As long as one's own business quality is strong, socializing or not is not important at all.

But he still accepted the invitation of his colleagues and went to this noisy and slightly irritating restaurant to eat some food that didn't suit his taste. It was because he had worked all day and there was always a confusion in his heart... He originally planned to discuss it with these elite people, but now it seems that the time is not ripe.

So, he had to suppress his boredom and just concentrate on drinking and eating.

This meal lasted until late at night, and the restaurant closed. In fact, the wine and food on the table had been cleared away by everyone early, but it was really a kind of enjoyment to occupy a special seat in the crowded restaurant and watch the customers coming and going around. So as long as the boss didn't drive people away, they were happy to have a low quality for once.

Anyway, except for the tuner, the others were not locals in Baiyao City, so why bother about the quality issue?

When the song ended and the crowd dispersed, some people made an appointment to go to the wine shop not far away for another battle, some immediately swallowed the sobering pills and began to prepare for work tomorrow morning, and some... quietly said goodbye to everyone and set off on the road to Qiqiao Square.

Bai Huang thought about it over and over again, but he couldn't let go of the tangle in his heart, and decided to figure it out no matter what.

When he returned to the newly renovated small building, he only heard a burst of intensive knocking sounds in the building - the design and arrangement of this city defense formation is not a one-day job. The elites of the Bai family are divided into two shifts to practice day and night. Now is the time for the night shift to be diligent.

Then, among these people, there is the red figure as expected.

When Bai Huang saw Wang Luo, Wang Luo also saw him.

"Bai Huang? How much overtime pay did Bai Wei promise you for not resting so late?"

As soon as this was said, all the night shift people pricked up their ears and held their breath to listen.

Bai Huang waved his hands quickly: "No, no, I worked overtime on my own initiative, and I don't get overtime pay."

After that, he forced himself to ignore the vague noises of "labor thief", "roll king", "tsk", etc., and bowed to Wang Luo: "Master Wang, there was a problem with the formation during the day, and I still haven't figured it out, so I came back specially to ask for your guidance."

Wang Luo was stunned, looked at him deeply, and said: "Okay, if you have any questions, go to the meeting room to talk."

Bai Huang wanted to nod. After all, the confusion or conjecture in his heart was too shocking and not suitable for discussion in public. But as soon as this thought came up, it was overwhelmed by another thought. Then, he said almost uncontrollably: "I think it's not necessary. It's better to just say it here."

Wang Luo gradually smiled and nodded: "Okay, tell me what your problem is."

So Bai Huang opened his hand, and as the true energy flowed, his spiritual consciousness condensed. A formation composed of gleaming white light appeared in front of him. The architectural structure of the small building and many details of the nodes of the large array can be clearly seen in the picture, and the flow of white light simulates the movement of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the nodes of the large array, with a high degree of fidelity.

This move alone showed a good level of cultivation, which made many people on the night shift couldn't help but cheer.

Bai Huang said: "Master Wangshan, this is the node array diagram of our city defense formation. It is a very standard and even routine formation. It has not been updated and improved for more than ten years. Today, thanks to Master Wangshan's Guidance makes us realize that this old-fashioned formation can also contain many better changes, making the formation more stable and strong. But, Master Wang, look here."

As he spoke, he saw several obvious bright spots in the white light that formed the frame of the formation, which were connected by Bai Huang's thin red light to form a specious network.

"If these key points were realized in a realistic way, it would probably look like this."

Wang Luo nodded: "You have finally figured out the simulating formation technique... Yes, after materializing these key conceptual points, it is indeed this shape, so what?"

Bai Huang looked at Wang Luo, as if waiting for him to answer on his own, but after a while, he didn't get a response.

So Bai Huang finally shook his head with some disappointment: "Master Wangshan, this shape is unfamiliar to most of us, but it should be quite familiar to you. After all, when you were in Rongcheng, you personally Experienced its power.”

The smile on Wang Luo's face continued: "Oh? Specifically?"

Bai Huang said coldly: "To be specific, it is the eight-way fortune-cutting formation... With the elites of the Bai family, we can set up the formation in the Bai family's small building. By just teasing out a few key details, we can hide the eight-way fortune-cutting formation. Among them. Once the formation is activated, all the members of the Bai family will be deprived of their blessings and become sacrifices to you, Master Wang! Do you want me to be more specific?"
