Chapter 331

The Wind is the Snake-Coiling, attaching to the sky to form a shape, its momentum can surround, and its performance can bend and stretch.

Among the four strange ones, it is adjacent to the Tiger, later changing to Changshan, with the head and tail trapping each other.

Qian Chen started from the Snake-Coiling Formation, dismantled the array method into sixty-four formations with yarrow stalks and counting rods, on one hand, deduced the changes of the array method with the sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching, and on the other hand, secretly corresponded the array situation with the fleeting glimpse of the geomancy and charm of Jiankang when he entered the city.

His true self is the spirit of the Supreme Dao-Dust Pearl, which can even build array methods directly in the pearl for deduction.

He watched this formation extremely slowly, constantly corresponding it with the situation of the Xuanwu Lake's Yin and Yang, and on the other hand, thinking about the context of the Eight Formations Picture in the river-blocking array set up by Xie Daoyun.

When Qian Chen entered the city, he had already seen the connection between Xie Daoyun's river-blocking array and the Four Symbols Universe Great Array that suppressed the city of Jiankang.

But he did not expect that the two came from the same source.

And Xie Daoyun's river-blocking array was not learned from the Four Symbols Universe Great Array set up by Zhang Tianshi, but directly learned from the "Woqi Scripture," which contains all the pivot changes of the Eight Formations Picture.

At this moment, the places in the two major array methods that were originally covered by clouds and fog and deceived people became gradually clear in Qian Chen's eyes.

Wang Rong did not know that his momentary mistake, the Eight Formations Picture he gave to calculate Qian Chen, could allow Qian Chen to completely penetrate the various mysteries of the Jiankang Great Array. This consequence is equivalent to the Chang'an Great Array of the Li Tang capital being completely controlled by Qian Chen. During the Battle of Chang'an, whatever Qian Chen could do with the Chang'an Great Array, he could use the Jiankang Great Array to do today in Jiankang.

This array that suppresses the dragon qi of Jin Ling and controls the national destiny of the Sima family, besides the Sima family itself, Zhang Tianshi who set up the array, Wang Dao who mastered the "Woqi Scripture," and Zhuge Wu Hou, the creator of the "Eight Formations Picture," can all master its secrets.

Now there is one more Qian Chen!

It's almost leaking like a sieve...

Qian Chen deduced this formation particularly slowly, and it wasn't until the moon was in the eastern sky that he turned to the next formation, the Bird-Soaring Formation. Wang Rong and the others were not in a hurry. The Eight Formations Picture is equivalent to the general outline of the world's Qimen Dunjia. The principles of the array method do not go beyond this. If it could be watched too quickly, it would be a ghost.

After Xie Daoyun married into the Wang family, she retreated for thirty years before she had some success.

If Qian Chen could finish watching it in a few hours, it would only make Wang Rong terrified.

The Bird-Soaring Formation corresponds to the momentum of the Vermilion Bird. Comprehending it by the Qin Huaihe is equivalent to having a reference in front of him, and when comprehending the Snake-Coiling Formation, Qian Chen had already understood many foundations of the Eight Formations Picture, so this formation only took two hours, and by the time the moon was in the middle of the sky, he had finished watching it.

Behind the White Deer Hall, on the section of the Qin Huaihe flowing here, nine whirlpools appeared silently. These whirlpools looked like swirls made unintentionally, and they were not conspicuous at all beside the pier.

For the following Tiger-Winged Formation, Qian Chen only spent one hour, and by the time the east was not yet bright, under the solemn gaze of Wang Rong and the two, he opened the Dragon-Flying Formation.

Wang Rong's eyes were filled with strange light. He stared at Qian Chen, taking in all the changes in Qian Chen's counting rods for deducing the array method.

Si Qingcheng discovered his focused expression, as if remembering something, pointed with her finger, and a thin stream of smoke floated out, covering Qian Chen. Wang Rong smiled slightly, not caring, and continued to observe absent-mindedly.

Si Qingcheng became increasingly worried...

After Qian Chen experienced the time when his demonic nature was revealed and he comprehended the array path with Xie Daoyun, his array cultivation had improved again. According to his own estimation, if he focused on reading for three days, he should be able to see the Wind-Rising Formation.

But after he was reminded by Si Qingcheng and discovered Wang Rong's actions, his heart moved. When he stared at and comprehended the Dragon-Flying Formation, he used true qi to force out sweat beads on his forehead, and at the same time, his face turned pale, making a look of extreme concentration.

This made Si Qingcheng on the side secretly anxious.

After watching half of the formation, Qian Chen pretended that his mind was exhausted and his energy was insufficient. He accidentally knocked over the lamp beside him, the mermaid pearl fell, the light scattered, Qian Chen's hair bun was slightly messy, his clothes were untidy, his brows were locked, and he looked exhausted.

Si Qingcheng exclaimed: "Yan Yan Shixiong!"

Qian Chen's body swayed, and he said weakly: "It was I who forced it... I can only see this far for this array map!"

Qian Chen stood up weakly and said to Wang Rong: "Please put away this map, Daoist!"

Wang Dun on the side saw this and couldn't help but show a trace of joy. Looking at Qian Chen, his eyes returned to the noble family's posture, as if to say, you can defeat me, but you still showed cowardice under my Wang family's inheritance. Was the pride hidden?

Wang Rong took the array map with both hands, bowed slightly to Qian Chen, and said: "We have been out for a long time, I am afraid the family will be worried. Princess, Daoist Qian, we will take our leave."

The old servant sent them out. Si Qingcheng worriedly called for someone to bring the Clear Heart and Spirit-Supplementing Pill, and ordered the back kitchen to make soup medicine to nourish the spirit. Who would have thought that as soon as she turned her head, she saw Qian Chen sitting up energetically.

Cui Dan was startled and shouted: "Could it be a flash of light before death!"

Si Qingcheng knocked on his head with the bamboo stick of the lamp beside her and said angrily: "Flash of light, your grandfather... Yan Yan Shixiong!" When calling Qian Chen, she restrained her anger and turned to a concerned look.

Qian Chen laughed: "It's okay, I lied to them!"

Si Qingcheng then turned from worry to joy, but soon frowned and said: "Yan Yan Shixiong, the Great Dao is hard to seek. With such a good opportunity in front of you, why waste it by lying to these two? As long as you comprehend the array map, even if they see through a little bit of your background, it's a small matter..."

Qian Chen raised his hand to stop her and laughed: "The four formations of Dragon, Tiger, Bird, and Snake have all entered my chest. But to force myself to watch the four formations of Heaven, Earth, Wind, and Cloud, I still lack the strength, so I made this gesture."

"And I have barely remembered a part of the Heaven, Earth, Wind, and Cloud formations, and the rest is just a choice of the Dao path. If you feel it's a pity, at worst, after I comprehend the four strange formations, I will go to the Wang family to ask for it..."

"At that time, I will make him unable to even keep the original copy!"

Si Qingcheng punched the air, laughed excitedly: "And I will grab that pool of perch and raise them in my manor!"

"Haha..." The three laughed, and the inner hall was filled with a happy atmosphere. When the old servant brought the spirit-nourishing soup, Qian Chen leaned on the low couch again, looking pale and weak.

The Wang brothers arrived at the pier, ready to take a boat down and return to Wuyi Lane. Wang Dun sneered: "Let him win three rounds, so arrogant, I thought he was something great. Now it seems he is just so-so..."

"Just so-so?" Wang Rong snorted coldly: "Who was it that let people hang him up and beat him, cutting off his hair bun..."

Wang Dun had the temperament of a military general, touched the green stubble on his head, and didn't care, but his brother's anger still surprised him.

Wang Rong said: "When you first read the 'Woqi Scripture,' which formation did you see!"

Wang Dun's face was a little pale, and he said: "Only to the second formation!"

"Swallowing dates whole, and still like this, what face do you have to laugh at someone who has seen the Dragon-Flying Formation? Do you know that when Xie Daoyun first watched the formation, she only saw the Cloud-Drooping Formation, and also only saw half of it. And you have the original annotation of the 'Woqi Scripture,' this person only looked at the array map."

Wang Rong scolded Wang Dun, but breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "This Daoist Qian is really not to be underestimated. His pill quality is afraid that it is not inferior to Longxiang at all. This time I came to test him, to see his magic arts, foundation, and cultivation."

"I don't care about his magic tools and divine abilities!"

"Because everyone has magic tools and divine abilities. Longxiang is our Wang family's Peng'er. What divine ability does he have that our Wang family will lose to him, and what magic tool is Longxiang inferior to? In these two places, Longxiang will never lose to him."

"Only one thing makes me worry..." Wang Rong stood at the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back.

Wang Dun's face changed, and he said in a low voice: "Is it this person's array cultivation?"

Wang Rong nodded slightly: "The art of array methods is best at winning against the strong with the weak, and has the ability to reverse creation. This person can defeat Xie Lingjiang. If he is really peerless in the array path... Longxiang might be tricked by him."

"Therefore, I insisted on giving him the Eight Formations Picture to confuse his mind, and at the same time test the depth of his array path. Originally, I thought that if this person knew how to choose, he would exhaust his mind for the 'Eight Formations Picture' and give up that battle."

"In this way, our Wang family would win without a fight, and he would get some compensation. This matter would be perfectly resolved, and we would have something to say to Daoist Tao."

"But seeing him today, I don't know if it's joy or sorrow!" Wang Rong was full of sorrow.

Wang Dun asked: "What does the brother mean by this?"
