Chapter 1691

"It is said that Island Master He also tested many ways to collect Di Liu Jiang, and finally chose the Spirit Wind Great Array because it is convenient and efficient, without the need for manual collection."

Bai Ziqi nodded: "Why is this array half-running?"

A large array that is not fully activated but not stopped is called half-running.

This state is convenient for inspection and checking for leaks, but the energy consumption is not small.

He Xiao has already left, why hasn't the array been turned off?

"The main rune device of the array is embedded in the center of an old tree, and it won't stop unless you saw it down."

"Take me to see the array eye."

An old apricot tree directly in front of the platform, several people thick, very spectacular.

Three copper runes are embedded in the tree trunk two feet from the ground.

The guard pointed to this old apricot tree: "That is the array eye. The main rune device is in the middle of the tree heart and cannot be removed."

Bai Ziqi looked at the attendant, who understood and climbed up the tree, quickly climbing five or six feet high.

After a while, he poked his head out: "Master, there is indeed a large rune device embedded in the tree core, I don't know how it was installed."

But to get it out, that would be difficult.

"Come down."

Now everyone knows that He Xiao had the intention to leave long ago. But before being exposed, he still actively and carefully built this great array, making it truly operational.

This patience and focus, this calm effort, is truly terrifying.

Now Bai Ziqi is more concerned about the word "container."

Yes, since this array can automatically collect Di Liu Jiang, it must arrange containers to store the spiritual liquid.

"Thirty-five tornadoes should correspond to thirty-five containers. Hmm, why thirty-five?" This number is so awkward. Bai Ziqi pointed to the old apricot tree, "It is the array eye, so it should collect the most spiritual liquid, and the container for storing Di Liu Jiang should be the largest. Where is it?"

The palace guard scratched his head: "In the cellar of the Apricot Forest Terrace."

He walked to the edge of the platform and stepped on the ground: "A few days ago, He Xiao dug out the apricot wine left by the previous villa owner here, and the pit was very large. He said that backfilling is troublesome, so he simply dug it into a cellar to store Di Liu Jiang, and the location is also very suitable."

Actually, this statement has a problem. The Yongquan Shanzhuang is not short of cellars, storage buildings, or open spaces. Why did he have to dig another cellar?

But He Xiao is the villa owner, and he can do whatever he wants on his own territory. No one would stop him if he wanted to dig a wine pool.

At this time, Bai Seventeen leaned closer and whispered: "Master, there is something nearby."

Bai Ziqi nodded: "Alert."

He also felt a prickle on his back, as if something was lurking nearby, looking at them fiercely.

This place, the Apricot Forest Terrace, is indeed not quite right.

The attendant said: "There are scratches on the snow."

There were scratches on the snow, crisscrossing, I don't know what monster left them, looking very irritable.

It had only snowed two hours ago, so these traces were still very fresh.

Bai Ziqi turned to ask the palace guard: "Where is the entrance to the cellar?"

"The pull ring of the iron door is nearby." The palace guard searched on the ground and pulled it gently.

An iron door was indeed hidden under the snow, unlocked, and the palace guard pulled it open with a tug.

Bai Ziqi tilted his head, and two Tiangong guards jumped down.

After about dozens of breaths, they came up to report: "Envoy, it's a large earth cellar, empty, but there are traces of heavy objects being moved on the ground."

Everyone was disappointed.

The palace guard also added: "He Xiao said a few days ago that he was preparing to send a batch of large vats down to the cellar to store Di Liu Jiang."

An empty earth cellar, what's there to see?

"Why are there so many scratches on the ground?" Bai Ziqi took a handful of fluorescent powder from his bosom and sprinkled it out with a wave of his hand.

The pale green fluorescent light turned dark purple as soon as it touched the ground.

The attendant was surprised: "Illusion array?"

"No, this is an illusion array!" Bai Ziqi showed an expression of "as expected," "He Xiao used the nearby copper runes to arrange an array within an array. He must have hidden something here!"

They were misled.

Bai Ziqi asked the palace guard:

"Who dug the earth cellar? It wouldn't be you, right?"

"No, no, it was Yangshan people."

Bai Ziqi understood: "Do you know the location of the copper runes nearby?"

He could also send guards to collect the locations of the copper runes everywhere, but firstly, it was too slow, and if he could get ready-made data, it would be best. Secondly, there was an unknown enemy hidden in the dark, so it was better not to disperse his personnel.

"Ah, I know. We also participated in the installation and arrangement at the beginning. He Xiao said that not a single mistake could be made, and also required us to memorize the array map well." The palace guard squatted down, took a branch, and began to sketch on the snow, "This is the array map."

He first drew a circle, which was the position of the array eye where the old apricot tree was, and then with it as the center coordinate, drew a series of dots, marked with tree seeds.

He had only drawn a few dots when Bai Ziqi's face changed, and his eyes became deeper.

Having only drawn halfway, the attendant saw the clue and blurted out: "This, is this the Tiangang Great Array!"

Bai Seventeen thought so too, but didn't say it.

Bai Ziqi looked at this array, almost unable to manage his expression: what Spirit Wind Array, what thirty-five small tornadoes? Nonsense! This array map is clearly the one that the Tiangong people are already very familiar with—

Tiangang Great Array!

Bai Ziqi had not been on the Glittering Gold Plain for long when he went to the territory of the Xiaoyao Sect to find clues about the Thousand Illusion True Person, and found a gathering spirit array hidden for unknown years on Bai Mao Mountain. Bai Ziqi judged this array to be transporting spiritual energy for the Thousand Illusion True Person, and made many deductions, even following the clues to the North Sea.

He never expected to see the Tiangang Great Array again, thousands of miles away in the Yongquan Shanzhuang!

"But..."

"But it's not the same as the one we saw on Bai Mao Mountain!" The attendant wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Bai Ziqi with a wave of his hand.

Soon, the palace guard finished drawing, a total of thirty-five places.

The attendant couldn't help but say: "Did you miss one?"

The number of Tiangang is thirty-six, and this array map only has thirty-five. But apart from that, it is exactly the same as the Tiangang Great Array.

The palace guard stammered, hurriedly checking again, but facing the distinguished guests of the Tiangong, he had no confidence: "Should be... I remember it like this."

Oh my, did I remember it wrong?

Everyone looked at his guilty face and was speechless. Bai Ziqi prompted him: "Did He Xiao originally tell you that this Spirit Wind Great Array would summon thirty-five small tornadoes?"

The palace guard's eyes lit up, and he nodded like a rice-pecking chicken: "Yes, yes, that's what he said, thirty-five, thirty-five!"

So he didn't remember it wrong.
