I have an eternal eye

Different from the endless Luzhou Plain, Cangzhou is mostly hilly. The land is like ocean waves, with continuous ups and downs and numerous ravines.

The mountain gate of Yanjia Sect is far away from the town.

The terrain here is strange and strange, with twenty-four hills naturally formed. Yin corresponds to the twenty-four Qi, which combines to form Yin and Yang, regulating the universe. Together with the towering giant trees planted in ancient times, it forms the Qimen Dunjia Formation.

Even in the Age of Ending Dharma, mortals will be confused and lose their sense of direction after entering, not to mention various dangerous traps. Therefore, the Yanjia Sect Mountain Gate has been able to avoid wars and survive to this day for a long time.

Thick fog filled the air, and a gatehouse loomed in the dense forest.

The archway is made of bluestone with complex patterns and is simple and vicissitudes of life. It still stands after being mottled by the years. It has a huge stone couplet written on it. The upper and lower couplets are:

The mechanisms are all turned into puppets, and there are endless tricks to hide mysteries.

The duality of yin and yang is wonderful, and the two rites of heaven and earth are the true scriptures.

After the archway, there is a winding bluestone path leading to the top of the mountain. There are towering trees on both sides of the road, and there are various wood carvings and stone statues.

Occasionally, if a small animal walks through, the wooden and stone statue will turn its head, the movements are stiff, but there is a cold and murderous intention.

On the top of the mountain in the distance, Zhang Biao used the shadow escape technique to quietly observe the mountain gate in the darkness of the dense forest.

As the spiritual energy revived, each sect naturally strengthened its protection, and all had mountain guard formations, making it difficult to sneak in.

The Yanjia Sect is naturally no exception. Not only do they have puppets hidden everywhere to guard the passage up the mountain, but the mountain gods are also enshrined on the 24 mountain tops to lead the Yin soldiers to hide in the spiritual world.

Fortunately, he had the secret method taught by Master Qianji, and he successfully passed through the outer formation and arrived here.

Here is the only way to go up the mountain. Unless he has Jindan cultivation, it is impossible to enter smoothly.

But there are always exceptions in everything. As long as it is a formation, there must be changes in the ups and downs of Qi, otherwise it will be a dead formation and cannot function.

And as long as there are changes, there will be flaws.

The formation of Yanjia Sect is based on the twenty-four o'clock changes. Every time the twenty-four o'clock solar terms change, it will stagnate for half an hour. This is the only chance.

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao was not in a hurry and waited quietly.

Before I knew it, night fell.

Tomorrow happens to be the Qingming Festival. At midnight, the yin and yang alternate, and the formation finally comes to a standstill. The thick fog in the forest slowly settles, and the puppets are completely silent.

Bang!

The black mist exploded all over Zhang Biao's body and turned into a shadow. He quickly sprang out of the dense forest and moved forward quickly and silently along the dark part of the mountain road.

On the mountain road, densely packed lanterns were lit.

These wooden lanterns are exquisitely carved, with a faint green fire burning inside, and the base is shrouded in black mist. They are suspended in the air, lined up, and fly along the mountain road.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Biao immediately activated the Golden Chan Blood God Gu to use the Earth Escape Technique, and the shadow he created seeped into the ground.

Of course the Yanjia Sect knew the weaknesses of the Shanmen Formation and would naturally take strict precautions against it.

These lanterns are also a kind of magic weapon. Their greatest function is to detect invisible phantoms and reflect ghosts in the spiritual world.

Under the lantern, there is also a group of Yanjia Sect monks, holding weapons and magic weapons, following the lantern with flowing water under their feet.

With their cultivation, they naturally couldn't find Zhang Biao.

Moreover, these disciples were obviously a little distracted, and they were still whispering in low voices while patrolling.

"Senior brother, the atmosphere has been a bit off these days..."

"What's strange? Since the last incident, the families have been on guard against each other and have almost no contact with each other. Hall Master Han's spiritual tablet suddenly shattered and the body was nowhere to be found, which naturally aroused the vigilance of every family."

"That's not what I meant."

A disciple suddenly stopped and said mysteriously: "I heard that there have been many people coming and going in the forbidden area of ​​​​the back mountain in the past few days. Are they preparing to open the secret cave?"

"Don't think so much. Even if it is opened, it has nothing to do with us. Let's go quickly. If you are discovered, you will have to go to the Discipline Hall to be punished..."

Zhang Biao naturally listened to all their words.

The Hall Leader Han they were talking about was the person who was bewitched by Bai Yan and went to collect the treasure. From the looks of it, no one in the Yanjia Sect noticed that this person had entered the devil's way.

This is the weirdness of the Five Turbidities and Ten Demonic Paths.

They will seize the human heart's seven emotions and six desires. As long as you have desires, there will be flaws. Sometimes you even enter the devil's way without even knowing it.

As for the forbidden area in the back mountain, it is the ancient inner gate treasury.

Master Qianji knows how to open it, and other heavenly beings are no exception. However, according to Master Qianji, their original plan was to open it after their cultivation reaches the foundation level, so as not to be backlashed by the Yanjia Sect disciples.

Now that it's suddenly advanced, I'm afraid he has other ideas.

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao immediately speeded up.

Following the bluestone path up the mountain, we climbed over a towering city wall, and the huge mountain city came into view instantly.

This is a large mountain city. It is an irregular basin. Steep peaks rise from the ground. There are pavilions and pavilions above. There are suspension bridges and cableways connecting the peaks. Deep below, there are large and small mountains. Some of the bunker's weapon refining workshops are still shining with red light.

Looking around, it looks like a big chessboard.

According to Master Qianji, this was built by the senior Yanjia Sect of the Ancient Yuan Realm at a huge cost and according to the terrain of the Chessboard Realm. It represents the dream of achieving success in practice and breaking through the realm to return to the main gate.

There are mountain-protecting puppets on every mountain peak, and there are even warning puppets hiding under the suspension bridges. Especially with the numerous factions of the Yanjia Sect and the death of another heavenly being, the defense power has been significantly improved.

Fortunately, Zhang Biao's target was not these mountains. He followed the mountain guarding formation and finally arrived at the forbidden area behind the mountain half an hour later.

As soon as he left, thick fog rose again in the dense forest behind him.

Zhang Biao turned his head and looked at it, not caring.

The next time the formation stops again, it will be during the Grain Rain season, which will be more than ten days later.

He and Master Qianji's original plan was to sneak into the forbidden area, obtain spiritual materials, hide them, and wait until the Grain Rain season before leaving without disturbing anyone.

However, now that Yanjia Sect Heavenly Man has decided to open the secret treasure, he can only take one step at a time.

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao jumped up the cliff silently and looked into the distance.

The so-called back mountain forbidden area is a triangular valley, with a high tower standing at each of the three opposite corners, representing the three talents of heaven, earth and man. It is a powerful formation that is not weaker than the mountain guarding formation.

This was built as the original inner gate of Yanjia Sect.

Unlike other sects, when the Yanjia Sect's inner sect moved, there was internal strife over the giant puppet that could cross the Wangchuan River. Some people were dissatisfied and directly destroyed the storage mechanism, so that when the inner sect moved, it was too late to take it away. collection.

But no one can predict the fortunes and misfortunes.

According to Master Qianji, the inner sect disciples of the Ancient Yuan Realm were actually the ones with the largest number of survivors during the forced crossing of the Wangchuan River by the major sects.

But it is a pity that they have no resources. After reincarnating in the chessboard world, all of them lived a very miserable life. Some were even unable to practice, became mortals, and died in confusion.

Now, after a long period of time, the Three Talents Formation of Heaven, Earth and Man has been destroyed, leaving only ruins.

On the mountain wall facing Tianzi, there stands a gate tower and archway, but it is just a carved stone door. If you want to enter, you can only open the cave-sky mechanism.

Unfortunately, the mechanism has been destroyed from within. The only way is to take advantage of the Tomb Sweeping Day, when there is a flaw in the formation, and use secret techniques to force open a gap to enter.

And this opportunity is only three days.

As the patrolling disciples said, a lot of people have gathered here, and there are at least three stars embroidered on the robes.

Yanjia Sect has a strict hierarchy, with statuses divided from one to nine. These are all disciples of Sanyao, and their status is equivalent to that of Gong Meng.

Among them, there are naturally the Four-Yao Hall Master, the Five-Yao Peak Master, and even many Liu-Yao elders.

Among them, there was also a short and fat elder who Zhang Biao happened to meet. It was the pivot elder who informed him that Master Qianji was wanted at the Lushan gathering.

This person was stationed in Lushan City all year round and was responsible for the ghost city. Unexpectedly, he also secretly returned to Yanjia Sect.

I saw him speaking to everyone: "Everyone, I know what you think, but in the end, we are all one family. Gui Shijin has reached an agreement, and the Styx River will run through the Ancient Spirit Realm soon."

"No one knows what's going on inside, but whichever company builds the spirit ship first will have the upper hand. Those who come after will have no choice but to go to more dangerous areas."

"Our Yanjia Sect has this secret treasure and the refining method. We will be the first to forge the spiritual root. When the time comes, there will be many masters. Xuandu will have to bow his head after seeing it."

"At this time, I hope you can put aside your prejudices and speak to the outside world in unison..."

"Hmph!"

Before he finished speaking, someone sneered and said: "We are fighting for life and death. This spiritual root casting method is still in your hands. Who knows whether it will be distributed to us..."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became weird.

The sects of the Ancient Yuan Realm need follow-up skills and spiritual roots, and the gods and humans rely on this for protection, but they are all at odds with each other.

The two sides would eventually fall out, but unexpectedly, at this important juncture, someone would finally point it out directly.

"There is nothing we can do about this matter."

A childish voice came from the crowd.

Behind the elder, the crowd dispersed. A carved chair flew out slowly, and a baby sat inside. He was wearing a golden robe, embroidered with nine stars, with a pink face and a faint golden light in his eyes. .

Zhang Biao knew that this was probably the Heavenly Man of Yanjia Sect.

Judging from the aura, it was about level 2, but in order to prevent the other party from sensing magical powers and secrets, he did not use his spiritual eyes to detect it.

I saw this infant heavenly being say: "What you are afraid of is nothing more than the severance of the spiritual veins of the Ancient Yuan Realm, but to tell you the truth, we are bound to get that opportunity!"

As soon as these words came out, many people's faces suddenly became gloomy, and some even had murderous intent flashing in their eyes.

However, the Infant God didn't care and sneered: "You are also idiots. If you kill me, you will get a false reputation at most. It is equivalent to rebellion. No one will remember it after thousands of years."

"Last time, those people from the inner sect crossed the Wangchuan River and saved three out of ten, which shows that the method is effective. If I wait for the opportunity and cultivate the Nascent Soul Yang God Guard, I can bring you all into the chessboard world!"

"There is no hope for the Ancient Yuan Realm after all. Do you want to die of old age in this world, or do you want to return to the main gate with me?"

Seeing everyone's hesitation, he added weight and said in a deep voice: "I can make a legal oath to the sect's altar. If you violate it, you will be punished by law even if you return to the main sect!"

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately gritted his teeth and respectfully raised his hands and said: "I am willing to listen to my ancestor's instructions!"

"I am willing to listen to my ancestor's instructions!"

More and more people bowed their heads respectfully.

A few people were still hesitant and turned to look at the mountain gate in the distance with uncertain eyes. However, seeing that the number of people who agreed continued to increase, they could only sigh and lower their heads.

At this moment, like the inner sect, they decided to abandon the ordinary disciples.

"Hahaha…"

The heavenly being laughed loudly and said, "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. On the road of cultivation, you should plan more for yourself and open up the cave!"

"Yes, Master!"

After hearing this, the pivot elder waved his hand, and the tree men lifted out several huge centipede-shaped wooden puppets.

Everyone squeezed the magic formula, and the eyes of the centipede puppet suddenly flashed with red light. It walked to the stone door with a splash, covered in black mist, and pierced the stone door with its sharp feet.

Crunch...

As the heart-wrenching sound sounded, a black mist began to surge in front of the stone gate, getting bigger and bigger. It was the entrance to the cave.

At the same time, there was a strong wind suddenly blowing around, as if a wind tunnel had been opened, and dust and fallen leaves were spewing out.

Zhang Biao in the distance also suddenly widened his eyes.

Nuo's face was buzzing and trembling.

Inside, there are actually other Nuo noodles from Fang Xiangzong!
