Volume 1: Wind Rises in the Mountains and Swamps Chapter 161: The Incident
Looking at the jade fragments on the ground, Lin Yi curled his lips helplessly. His eyes rolled, his eyebrows raised, and he raised his hand to throw the third jade pendant.
As the hand gestures moved quickly, strands of spiritual energy flew in the air.
Lin Yi's mouth curled up, and his eyes were full of brilliance. A five-element health formation slowly rotated in front of him and shrank rapidly. He shouted softly: "Go!" The formation suddenly flew into the suspended jade pendant, and then a ball of green light flashed.
With a wave of his hand, the jade pendant fell into Lin Yi's hands intact.
The spiritual energy in the jade pendant stimulated a trace of peaceful energy, which slowly flowed into Lin Yi's palm. He gently stroked the jade pendant with a look of joy in his eyes. The formation in this jade pendant is the same as the one he saw in Pujia Village, but the jade pendant in his hand is much better. The spiritual power contained in this formation is what the heirloom of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law family does not have. What they possessed were only treasures in the mortal world, but the jade pendant he made was extraordinary.
Lin Yi's spiritual sense swept through the courtyard where he lived. No one came to disturb him, which made him feel much more at ease.
Sitting quietly and regulating his breath to calm his mind, Lin Yi picked up the fourth jade pendant. If there was no shielding of the formation, he would definitely hear the sound of jade breaking from his room from time to time.
Two hours later, Lin Yi's forehead was sweating and his face was a little pale as he sat on the couch. In front of him, there were five jade pendants. And around the bed, there were jade fragments all over the floor.
I didn't expect this attempt to be so mentally exhausting. It seems simple to embed the formation in the small jade pendant, but after doing it himself, Lin Yi realized how difficult it was for him.
The spiritual power drives the formation, and if there is a slight deviation, the jade pendant cannot bear it. To implant the spiritual imprint in the jade pendant, it is necessary to have a strong spiritual sense to control it.
Lin Yi used the health jade pendant to practice, which was the simplest formation. He also broke two jade pendants in a row before he succeeded by chance.
The health jade pendant was naturally not Lin Yi's final idea. He wanted to make a self-defense item for Su Xueyun. And he was only familiar with the formations embedded in the four-elephant flag. The four-elephants are Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise. The formation contained in the formation flag also takes the offensive advantage of Azure Dragon and White Tiger, the illusionary power of Vermillion Bird, and the defense of Black Tortoise with both hardness and softness, forming a set of four-elephant formations.
Lin Yi wanted to embed the formation on the formation flag into the jade pendant. The result was embarrassing. He also knew that he was really whimsical, that is, all this was too taken for granted.
The formation flag was made of an unknown material that was refined hundreds of times, so it could be embedded in the formation. The jade pendant was just made of ordinary fine jade, and it could not carry the spiritual energy contained in the formation at all. After breaking several pieces of jade pendants in succession, Lin Yi woke up in time and changed his original intention.
Putting aside the other three flags, Lin Yi carefully studied the defensive formation of the Xuanwu flag. The defensive formation on the Xuanwu flag is not just one, but more than ten formations are intertwined. When he was free, he remembered these formation patterns clearly.
When he was a few years old, even if he didn't understand the talismans, Lin Yi could remember them in a hurry, not to mention that now his cultivation has reached the middle stage of Qi training, his spiritual consciousness is successful, and he can remember everything he has seen.
Lin Yi separated the formations in the Xuanwu flag one by one, selected the one with the simplest pattern, and after carefully studying it, he repeatedly drew it in the air with spiritual energy. After he thought he was proficient, he tried the dozen or so hand gestures to activate the formation one by one.
When the formation floating in front of him was activated by a hand gesture, the suspended formation actually emitted a black light, then shook and disappeared in the room. Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that the formation needs to be activated by hand gestures, and it must be activated by spiritual consciousness.
It was very exhausting to deduce these formations thousands of times, but Lin Yi didn't care about it. It was rare for a disciple in the Qi training period to deduce and modify a formation, even the simplest one, unless it was inherited from a master.
For the formation, sufficient spiritual consciousness was required to support the complicated deduction. Generally, only people with high cultivation would focus on the formation after cultivation. For a person with such cultivation as Lin Yi, it was really difficult for him to follow the map and figure it out alone.
He didn't know whether Lin Yi's method was right or wrong. He just tried it again and again along the feasible method, which resulted in the jade pendant breaking again and again.
After each failure, Lin Yi always deduced again and again, and tried and compared again. When there were only a few pieces of jade pendants left, he reluctantly embedded the formation and hand gestures into them, and separated a spiritual consciousness and implanted it into them.
The jade pendant floated in the air, and a faint black light emerged from the white jade, revealing a bit of magic.
In this regard, Lin Yi could only grin to show his joy. The separation of spiritual consciousness and no longer taking it back is equivalent to cutting off a piece of spiritual consciousness. Otherwise, when the jade pendant is far away from him, the spiritual consciousness will naturally dissipate.
Therefore, Lin Yi can only cut off the power of the mind from that spiritual consciousness and store it completely in the jade pendant.
Lin Yi did not expect that the spiritual consciousness that he thought was strong enough could not bear such torture. The needle-like pain made his mind dazed for a while, and it was not until he took out the spirit stone and breathed in and out that the feeling of fatigue was slightly relieved.
There were only three pieces of jade pendant left, and Lin Yi was unable to try again. He had no choice but to make the remaining three pieces into health jade pendants.
After more than two hours of hard work, he finally got some results.
Lin Yi put away the four health jade pendants, and only put the jade pendant embedded in the Xuanwu formation on the couch. He took out the long sword, hesitated, and gritted his teeth, and swung the sword at the jade pendant with the strength of an ordinary person.
The long sword was difficult to fall before it reached the jade pendant three feet away. Suddenly, a ball of dazzling black light burst out from the jade pendant, which was extremely tough.
Seeing this, Lin Yi exerted a little force on his hand, and the counterattack force of the ball of light suddenly increased, silently swinging the long sword in his hand high. If he hadn't held it firmly, the long sword would have slipped out of his hand.
Lin Yi then put away the long sword and smiled with relief. It was worth it even if he was tired. Not only did Su Xueyun have something to defend herself, but he also believed that he benefited a lot from this attempt.
Picking up the jade pendant that had been restored to its original state, Lin Yi examined it carefully. The spiritual power in the jade pendant formation had been slightly depleted, and this thing should not be able to stop his full-strength three strikes. If someone in the martial arts world took action, this jade pendant should be able to withstand hundreds of heavy blows. This is enough. A mortal rarely encounters a few life-and-death disasters in his life.
This is all he can do for Su Xueyun.
After lunch, Lin Yi stayed in the room alone, holding the spirit stone in his hand and regulating his breath for an hour. The consumed spiritual power and consciousness were slightly restored, and he was much more energetic. He did not delay any longer, walked out of the room holding an umbrella, left Siping Pavilion, and headed straight for the city gate.
Lin Yi's spiritual power was not small, and it was impossible to fully recover without three or five days of meditation, and he had to use the power of spiritual stones in time. And he did not have the time to delay, and he had to send Su Xueyun away as soon as possible. Otherwise, the government would not easily give up if there was such a big commotion in the painting boat.
In addition, the Tianlong Sect would set off at any time, so Lin Yi did not dare to slack off. Only by sending Su Xueyun away early could he feel at ease.
Lin Yi was not familiar with the territory of the capital. The road was in his mouth, and he asked several passers-by. After half an hour, he found the location of the west gate.
A tall city gate could be seen from a distance. When he was a hundred feet away, Lin Yi could not help but frown and slowly stopped.
At the city gate, two teams of soldiers were divided into two rows. People entering the city were unimpeded, but people leaving the city had to be checked by soldiers. There were also more than a dozen men who looked like Jianghu people detained on the side, each of them was angry and arguing endlessly.
Looking at the situation in front, Lin Yi's expression became solemn. The matter of the painted boat was indeed not to be taken lightly. Now the government has sealed the city gate, which should be related to this matter. Fortunately, the woman was killed, and no one could recognize his appearance in the night, otherwise it would be really troublesome.
Handan Sheng was a scholar. I don't know if he has left the city, and where is he now? Lin Yi was anxious and turned around and left. He didn't want to get entangled at the city gate, so it was better to avoid it.
Walking into a small alley, there was no one in front and behind for a while. Lin Yi put away his umbrella, hid his figure, and was about to throw out the green cloud gauze, but he twitched his nose. Looking at the courtyard wall in front of him, he jumped and jumped over.
This place was actually the backyard of a wine shop. Several guys were moving wine out of the cellar, and a dozen wine jars were piled up. There were also laughter coming from the cellar.
There wasn't much left of Qianqiufu, so the wine in front of him must be good. Lin Yi waved his hand, and half of the wine jars on the ground disappeared. He then jumped onto the Biyunsha, and flew into the air with a sly smile that he had only had many years ago.
The sky was gloomy, and a blue cloud floated in the sky, but no one paid attention. After leaving the capital, Lin Yi flew forward along the official road, not forgetting to pay attention to the pedestrians and horses on the road.
An incense stick passed quickly, and it was about to reach the mountain where Su Xueyun was, but Lin Yi in the air raised his eyebrows and flew straight down.
...
After Han Sheng left, he took the silver given by Lin Yi, went to the carriage and horse shop to hire a carriage, and went out of the city to the west.
Although he had doubts about Lin Yi, he would never see Miss Ruyan again if he made a mistake. Therefore, Han Sheng didn't dare to think too much, and could only follow the other party's instructions and hurried out of the city. The excuse of a scholar hiring a carriage to go home allowed him to easily avoid the soldiers' inspection at the city gate.
After leaving the city, Han Sheng kept urging the driver to hurry up, fearing that he would miss the opportunity to meet Ruyan. After such a long and hard drive, the carriage finally ran a hundred miles after noon.
The driver was also forced to roll his eyes by this scholar, but Han Sheng was generous and stuffed a silver ingot into the other's arms.
It was a silver ingot of ten taels, and the driver smiled and had no complaints.
Han Sheng looked up at the sky and estimated that he was also a hundred miles away from the capital, but he didn't know where Ruyan was, so he asked the driver to slow down the carriage. He suddenly remembered that Lin Yi asked him to go first and didn't let him delay, but where would they meet each other?
The place in front of him was very secluded, and it would be more than a hundred miles away if he went forward. It didn't seem appropriate to stay here. For a moment, Han Sheng had no idea what to do. He could only sit in the carriage with a bitter face, looking around, hoping that Ruyan would wave at him not far away.
Who knew that Ruyan didn't see it, but there was a loud sound of horse hooves behind him. Han Sheng let the carriage park by the roadside, but who knew that after a burst of horse neighing, these horsemen surrounded the carriage in a blink of an eye, which shocked him and the driver.
The people riding on the horses had weapons on their waists. From the robes wet by rain, it can be seen that they were soldiers in the capital government. The group of people looked unfriendly and their eyes were cold, making people dare not look directly at them.
"Are you Han Sheng?"
