Chapter 204: Er Yue Peak

Mount Luo Fu is vast, stretching nearly a hundred miles, with hundreds of peaks. It ranks at the forefront of the world's cave heavens.

It is said that the spiritual power in the cave heaven is rich, and there are rare void cracks, which are of great benefit to cultivation. Therefore, the Luo Fu Sect ranks among the world's top ten sects, and is mentioned in the same breath as the Wangwu Sect, Weiyu Xianghe Gate, Western Profound Dragon Picture Pavilion, Qingcheng Sword Sect, Chicheng Sect, Kuocang Sect, Pingdu Eight-Array Gate, Beimang Sect, and Taiyuan Total Truth Gate.

Liu Liu Xiaolou came to the foot of Mount Luo Fu with a sense of awe, circled half of the mountain, and arrived at the southern mountains. These mountains are also called Fushan, which together with Luoshan form Mount Luo Fu.

There are more than 400 peaks in Mount Luo Fu, and the Luo Fu Sect has less than a hundred people up and down. It is impossible to occupy all the peaks. Although they are all the territory of the Luo Fu Sect, they cannot look after them, and they cannot be so extravagant as to include hundreds of peaks in the mountain protection array. Ninety percent of the peaks are wild mountains, at most they are inspected from time to time. Therefore, Liu Liu Xiaolou was able to enter the mountain quietly.

The place to enter the mountain is a valley formed between two mountain arms, called Qingxia Valley, with green pines and cypresses, deep grass and trees, birds chirping from time to time, and sunlight penetrating down, forming pieces of green glow light.

Liu Liu Xiaolou slid along the left cliff, looking up at the top from time to time. There are many masters in Mount Luo Fu. Maybe there is some elder patrolling the mountain. People patrol the mountain by riding a sword, often flying over their heads. Don't be discovered by others without knowing it.

Just as he was looking up, he saw a cluster of black grass growing on the cliff, each stem curled like a dragon's beard, dancing lightly with the wind. This is dragon beard grass.

The Longshan Hermit had been here several times, all for picking this kind of dragon beard grass. It is rumored to be one of the spiritual materials for some sects to refine Foundation Establishment Pills. He had stored a lot of dragon beard grass, but he had never found a way to refine pills, so he didn't know if it was true or false.

But Liu Liu Xiaolou was very suspicious of the truth of this rumor. If dragon beard grass is really a spiritual material for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, why does the Luo Fu Sect let this spiritual grass be exposed on a mountain cliff that everyone can see?

However, suspicion is suspicion. Since he is here, he naturally cannot go empty-handed. After observing for a while and confirming that there is no one here, he leaped several feet onto the cliff, and then flew out the Profound Truth Rope, pulling out this cluster of dragon beard grass from the roots at a very fast speed, and rolled it into the bamboo basket behind his back. The whole process took only a few breaths, and the movement was quite swift.

He walked carefully until evening. After the sun went down, he accelerated his pace. During this time, he also met a woodcutter and a hunter. He hid in the tree canopy, trying to reduce the chance of being exposed.

The valley gradually went upward, the terrain slowly lifted, and after passing several unknown mountain caves, he gradually reached the top. An open terrace appeared in front of him, on which was a piece of broken walls and ruins.

This is the Huashou Terrace mentioned by the Longshan Hermit. Liu Liu Xiaolou also soon saw the three big characters "Huashou Terrace" on the cliff wall, each of which was as tall as a person.

This was the Huashou Terrace mentioned by the Longshan Loose Practitioner; Liu Liu Xiaolou soon saw the three large characters "Huashou Terrace" on the cliff wall, each character being as tall as a person.

Passing through these ruins, there was a deep stream in front of him, and the bottom was pitch black, invisible. According to the Longshan Hermit, it was a hundred feet deep. Seven or eight feet away across the deep stream was the top of Er Yue Peak, where an old pine tree could be vaguely seen, supporting half of the sky of Er Yue Peak.

The pine resin essence that the Longshan Hermit gave Liu Liu Xiaolou last time came from this ten-thousand-year-old pine. Liu Liu Xiaolou traveled thousands of miles to Mount Luo Fu, also for the pine resin essence. The Muli Fragrance had long been used up. This was one of the foundations for the establishment of the Three Mysteries Sect. The sooner it was re-refined, the sooner he could sleep peacefully.

Pine resin essence is a spiritual material that is relatively rare, produced only on ten-thousand-year-old pines. Moreover, this kind of old pine must grow on the top of the mountain, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon at the highest place for ten thousand years, experiencing countless thunders, and often immersed in miasma and clouds and mist. Only then can it be born.

But the Luo Fu Sect didn't value pine resin essence, but rather valued the old pine itself. Its pine wood is a material for refining high-grade magic tools. Therefore, they set up a small magic array here for protection.

This magic array belongs to a kind of trap array. Its lethality is not high, mainly to trap those who enter the array, and at the same time report to the Luo Fu Sect disciples on Zhu Feiyun Peak and Shangjie Peak.

Back then, the Longshan Hermit came to Mount Luo Fu to pick dragon beard grass and met an old friend by chance. That friend didn't know where he bought the news, saying that this magic array would have poor operation at dawn, and it would be easy to escape from the array at this time. So the Longshan Hermit took the risk to go with him, and the two broke into the array and each intercepted a section of pine wood. Later, when they fled, the magic array really appeared to be sluggish. The two broke out of the array and successfully escaped before the Luo Fu Sect disciples arrived.

The pine resin essence that the Longshan Hermit exchanged for spiritual materials with Liu Liu Xiaolou later was condensed on that section of pine wood.

However, the Longshan Hermit didn't dare to come again later, because he didn't know if the Luo Fu Sect had made any improvements to the weaknesses of the array. But Liu Liu Xiaolou had his own judgment. He believed that he could still come. As for whether the array had been improved and repaired, he didn't care.

The reason is very simple. The Longshan Hermit and his friend were not at the Foundation Establishment stage, and they could break in and out, which shows that this magic array is not a high-grade mountain protection array. The Luo Fu Sect's protection of this ten-thousand-year-old pine is not strict. After all, this place is too far from the two main peaks.

Since this is the case, why can't he, who has successfully squeezed into the ranks of array masters, come over to find an opportunity?

Across the deep stream, Liu Liu Xiaolou seriously observed the terrain on the opposite side. He learned from Tang Song that if you want to set up an array to protect a place, the first step is to check the feng shui.

This feng shui is not the feng shui mentioned in fortune-telling, but the feng shui of array arrangement. As far as Er Yue Peak on the opposite side is concerned, it is the height and trend of the mountain peak, the wind power of the four seasons and day and night, the direction of the sun and moon light, the steaming and gathering of smoke and clouds, etc.

After figuring out these links, the array master can conceive a suitable array and set it up here. And looking at this magic array that protects the ten-thousand-year-old pine from the perspective of an array master, the general situation of the array can be inferred.

Liu Liu Xiaolou spent a day observing at twelve different locations, and even went down to the bottom of the deep stream, so he had a general understanding of the overall situation of Er Yue Peak. At the same time, he also had a preliminary judgment on why this magic array would have problems at dawn—nothing else, it was related to a burst of mountain mist that often passed over the peak before and after dawn.

This problem is actually not difficult to solve, but it requires several rare spiritual materials to solve, such as the spiritual fragrance flower mist grass mentioned in "Qianji Prescription," the Big Dipper cold star jade among spiritual jades, and the nine-curved lower yin clouds, etc. Each one is worth a lot. If you want to replace the array plate, I am afraid the Luo Fu Sect is reluctant.

Since this is the case, the possibility of replacing the array plate is not very high, so Liu Liu Xiaolou made a decision and still chose to enter at dawn.

A burst of mountain mist filled the air and submerged the top of Er Yue Peak.

The seven or eight-foot-wide mountain stream was no longer a difficulty for him. The vine rope woven during the day was thrown towards the opposite side, accurately hanging on a rock. After pulling back, the live buckle was tightened, and a rope bridge was built.

Stepping on the rope bridge and sliding to the opposite side, Liu Liu Xiaolou immediately fell into the trap array.

Suddenly, three-foot-high earth ridges appeared all around, surrounding him in countless layers inside and out. At the same time, the earth ridges were still moving differently, like waves in front and behind, constantly slapping towards him. If he was squeezed to the central position, he would immediately be submerged by layer after layer of earth ridges.

There

Within it, there were not only illusions but also the operation and exertion of the Earth element from the trap formation itself.

Liu Liu Xiaolou was trapped in the formation, yet he was not the least bit flustered, pinching his fingers to calculate.
