Chapter 87

And it is different from the peaceful years here in Bai Siyu——

At the same time, in the mountains hundreds of kilometers away, a dozen masters sitting in the dragon-controlling formation suddenly began to bleed!

No more life.

After learning about this, in a command room, a roar of anger and frustration resounded throughout the room, accompanied by the sound of various cups falling, which lasted for a long time.

......

"Master Bai!"

After a while, Ju'an followed the shaking of the rope talisman and chased back.

His hair was wet and his body was soaked with rain, but his face was red with excitement, his eyes were full of brilliance, and his fingers were even shaking slightly.

"We did it, we did it! The dragon vein is saved!!!"

Birds are chirping in the forests. The dead silent valley that we came from has changed. There is now countless vitality in the invisible and intangible world. The nourishing energy of the dragon veins is dissipating and turning into dense autumn rain.

"Team Leader Ju, they wanted to use the Nine-Reverse Soul Sealing Formation to extract the dragon vein. Although they failed, they did damage the dragon vein. We need to rearrange the formation."

Bai Siyu's voice was neither hurried nor slow.

"Shall we go and reinforce the divine array that protects the meridians now?"

"No, the Divine Machine Array alone is not enough." Bai Siyu's eyes passed through the rain curtain of the mountains and forests, and finally fell on the shadow of a tree on the top of the mountain.

"The Divine Machine Formation is too 'straightforward'. Once a corner is seen through, it will be very difficult to prevent this kind of roundabout calculation of the formation."

"so......"

"So we also have to use the array formation." Bai Siyu's brows, which had just relaxed for a short while, were locked again. To be able to use the large-scale array formation to calculate the Chinese Dragon Veins so skillfully, even if the master behind this is not a Chinese citizen, he must have been a Chinese.

Ordinary formations are simply unable to defend against these traitorous jackals and tigers.

Ju'an also understood this, but his expression darkened slightly.

"But Master Bai, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. After the war a hundred years ago, many traditions fell into decline. Now we...we have limited abilities. This Divine Machine Formation was set up by our chief's master, Master Liang Tian, ​​and other predecessors before they passed away decades ago. The nine Divine Machine Formations that protect the dragon veins can also be combined into a national defense formation - in fact, it is also a set formation. But no matter how we change such a huge set formation, we...we really don't have the confidence and ability to do it."

Ju An lowered his head in shame.

Although their chief is a master of heaven, his expertise is not in arranging formations. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that an all-round genius like Bai Siyu existed.

But fortunately, there are geniuses like Bai Siyu. God will not destroy the Chinese heritage!

When Ju An thought of this, his eyes lit up again: "Master Bai, can you teach us how to set up a battle formation?!"

"I can, but do I need to apply for this?"

It's not something he can change easily, right?

"I will report it immediately! I will report it right now!!!" Ju An said excitedly.

"Also, Team Leader Ju, don't forget to report the situation involving traitors." Bai Siyu said in a cold voice.

He was not familiar with the specific situation in the world over the past hundred years, but he believed that the top leaders in the country could not be completely unaware of it.

Ju An's expression froze for a moment, and a hint of severity flashed across his eyes.

Actually, maybe he shouldn't say this now, but he has completely trusted and placed all his hopes on Bai Siyu.

He raised his eyelids and looked at Bai Siyu.

"Master Bai, actually...actually I can tell you about this."

Bai Siyu was a little surprised.

"It's not a complete secret, I believe that all the old masters in the metaphysical world know about this." Ju An clenched his fists slowly, "In the great war a hundred years ago, not all the Heavenly Masters were at the front line. Some stayed behind according to the strategic deployment. After all, how could the powerful not consider the issue of preserving the fire? So they specially handed over many ancient books and true knowledge to the Heavenly Masters guarding the rear for safekeeping."

When Bai Siyu heard this, an extremely cold and sharp look flashed in his eyes.

Ju An also gnashed his teeth and said, "But there is a traitor! The highly respected Heavenly Master Deng actually plotted against other masters who were guarding the Fire Seed after the masters who were fighting on the front line were killed and wounded. He stole some ancient books and magic tools and fled abroad. He made a good living abroad by relying on our Chinese mystical arts. Now the Deng family is the most powerful people abroad!"

"Deng?!"

"Yes, Deng Qichao!"

Ju An's teeth were biting so hard that he wished he could bite the man's flesh.

Bai Siyu frowned slightly.

"The traitor must be dead now, but his disciples and descendants are probably not." Ju An's arms were bulging with blue veins. "Although the study of metaphysics also depends on talent and soil, they may not develop very well abroad, but... but now it seems that they are indeed stronger than me and Team Leader Hua..."

Bai Siyu pressed her lips tightly and said nothing.

Although this formation looked very grand and ingenious, and used many ancient formation techniques, in fact, in his opinion, it was just a crude version that was not considered advanced. However, it was hard to say whether the opponent was just making a small test or had already used most of his strength.

Therefore, he could not characterize the opponent's strength, so as to avoid letting the reconnaissance unit underestimate the enemy.

"Master Bai! Team Leader Ju!" An excited vibrato suddenly came from a distance. The two turned around and found that it was Hua Jin who was carrying a short-haired woman on his back.

"Master Bai, Team Leader Ju, I found Deputy Minister Wei and the others!!!"

Ju'an's face became excited. He rushed forward and took the woman from Hua Jin's back.

"Is it Shan Ying?!"

"Yes, she was the weakest, so I carried her here first. Deputy Minister Wei and his men were in a better condition than her, but they were also unable to move for the time being."

Hua Jin slowly put Shan Ying on the ground.

"Master Bai, I can't tell what's wrong with Shan Ying. Can you tell? Has she been cursed?!"

Bai Siyu squatted down and looked at Shan Ying's face which was wet by the heavy drizzle.

"She must have been hit by the soul-sealing spell in the soul-sealing array. Now that the array has been broken, the spell has naturally dissipated. She is no longer in any condition. She mainly needs to rest."

If the formation is not broken, she will soon become a dead soul trapped in the formation, and will eventually be refined into a living evil.

Fortunately, they arrived in time.

"That's great!" Hua Jin smiled.

He looked at Ju An and said, "Team Leader Ju, have you contacted Guo Yao and the others? Ask them to come and pick them up as soon as possible."

"Look at me... I was so excited after the formation was broken that I only thought about reinforcing the meridian protection formation, and I didn't inform Guo Yao and the others." Ju An quickly took out the walkie-talkie from his backpack and contacted Guo Yao and others who were waiting anxiously far away outside the formation, their nerves seemed to be walking on wires.

Guo Yao and the others actually saw some of the scenes happening here from a distance. Suddenly, the earth and the sky shook, the wind blew, and the mountains swayed. They even faintly heard a loud roar that sounded like a dragon's roar. They couldn't help but tremble with fear, and became more and more shocked and anxious, with sweat oozing from their palms.

They held the rope talisman tightly in their hands, fearing that they would miss the call for help it conveyed.

“Sizzle, sizzle…”

Suddenly, a faint sound of electric current was heard in the silent air.

"Hello, this is Ju'an. Is anyone there? Please answer the phone if you are there. Please answer the phone if you are there."

For a moment, the violent heartbeats beat against their eardrums, making Guo Yao and the others' bodies almost out of control. The huge surprise made them stiff for two or three seconds before they uttered dry responses.

"Someone's here! Someone's here! Team Leader Ju, I'm Guo Yao! The others are here too!!!"

"The Nine-Reverse Soul Sealing Formation has been broken, the dragon vein has been saved, and Deputy Minister Wei and his men have been found. Send two of you to drive over to pick them up, and leave two behind to wait for the men sent by Secretary Zhao."

"yes!!!"

There was a burst of excited roars in the car. Guo Yao and others clenched their fists tightly. When they looked up at each other, they found that they had all been in tears without realizing it. Li Qixia and Wu Lili were even more so.

"Great, great, I knew it..." Wu Lili hugged Li Qixia beside her tightly, "With Master Bai here, we will definitely succeed, for sure!"

"Master Bai..." Li Qixia's eyes were red and his voice was trembling.

Six or seven hours have passed since Bai Siyu took Ju An and Hua Jin out of the car.

The bright sky had turned into darkness.

But the car is driving faster.

An hour later, Guo Yao brought Wu Lili and Bai Siyu and others to reunite smoothly.

"Master Bai! Team Leader Ju!"

Guo Yao jumped out of the car excitedly.

Then he saw Deputy Minister Wei sitting on the ground behind Ju An.

"Wei, Deputy Minister Wei!"

Guo Yao was startled.

Deputy Wei and Minister Han had always been the two people he feared most in the department. They were both always serious in speech, and when he saw them, his muscles tensed up, like a primary school student meeting his head teacher.

"Xiao Guo." Wei Tian also smiled for the first time, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, not hard." Guo Yao was flattered and shook his head quickly, "Deputy Minister Wei, it's the best thing that you are all fine!"

"It's best to protect the dragon veins." Wei Tian's face was pale, but his eyes were calm and gentle, revealing admiration and awe that could not be concealed. He looked at Bai Siyu who was a few steps away, as if looking at hope for the future.

He had not expected that the mission of protecting the dragon veins would actually cause him to fail. Not only did he almost die here, but he also nearly delayed state affairs.

Fortunately, there are talented people in every generation, and there is actually a young genius like Bai Siyu!

He believed that with Bai Siyu around, the evil plots of the empire would not succeed.

No matter how many treasures the Deng family has stolen, the cooperation between the jackals and the traitors will be defeated!

"Hurry, Deputy Minister Wei, get in the car." After Ju An and Hua Jin carried Shan Ying and others into the car, they turned around and asked Wei Tian.

Among this group of people, only Wei Tian is still able to stay awake and move around, while the others are either still in a coma or can only close their eyes and cannot move freely.

Wei Tian wanted to shake his head, but looking at these young people whose physical conditions were indeed much better than his, he had no choice but to agree.

"Reinforcement... ahem, the matter of the God Machine Array..."

"Don't worry about that." Bai Siyu came over, "I will take Team Leader Ju and Team Leader Hua to do it together in a while, but I will wait for approval from above before adding more sets of arrays."

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Bai... No, should I call you Master Bai Tian?"

"Just call me Master Bai, it's more convenient." Bai Siyu smiled.

The rain has almost stopped and it is just drizzling now.

Guo Yao led his group away, while Bai Siyu took Ju An and Hua Jin and continued to walk deeper into the west.

Although it was already dark, to put it bluntly, formations don't rely on the eyes.

Another hour later, Bai Siyu and his companions finally arrived at the real place where the dragon vein was.

As soon as Bai Siyu stepped into this land, he felt a sense of physical and mental relaxation he had never felt before, as if a gentle and clear natural force surged in to wrap and soothe him, washing away all the filth in his body. Even his fate, which had been slightly damaged by the Qin family, was completely filled. The purple gold noble aura he had obtained from Changzhu before also turned into surplus blessings, which were kneaded by that power and integrated into his fortune and longevity.

Bai Siyu raised his head, and the leaves above his head began to rustle.

"Thank you."

Bai Siyu gently stretched out his hand and smiled. He understood that this was the reward and acquiescence of the dragon veins and the spirits of the mountains and rivers.

Allow him to do what he wants here.

"Master Bai? Master Bai?!"

From Ju'an and Hua Jin's perspective, they could only see that Bai Siyu became dazed as soon as he came in, as if his whole body had stopped moving.

The two of them thought that Bai Siyu was comprehending the formation, but after waiting for a while, they saw that Bai Siyu had no reaction, so they couldn't help but shout out.

Bai Siyu came back to his senses.

He saw the confusion and worry on Ju'an and Hua Jin's faces, and suddenly realized that what seemed like only one or two seconds in his eyes just now might have passed more than ten times that time for Ju'an and Hua Jin.

Bai Siyu was also a little puzzled as to why Ju An and Hua Jin did not get any rewards. Although he was the leader, Ju An and Hua Jin also contributed after all.

But when he got closer and saw their faces, he realized that one of them had also received some blessings.

Just not as much as he got.

"Team Leader Ju, Team Leader Hua, you should all be familiar with the Divine Machine Array, so I won't say much. You two will each be responsible for two positions, and I will be responsible for four. Let's try to finish it quickly."

......

The Divine Machine Array was not damaged much, otherwise the person behind it would not have used the roundabout tactic of the Nine-Reverse Soul-Sealing Array to steal the dragon's veins. Bai Siyu quickly repaired the four positions he was responsible for.

He walked and stopped, preparing to reunite with Ju'an when he saw in the distance a pair of flowers that looked like the Bagua diagram, one white and one black, intertwined.

"Qianyuan Dikun Flower!!!" Bai Siyu's pupils trembled in shock, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He was stunned for a moment, and confirmed again and again that he was not seeing things, his heart pounding with excitement.

He had never seen this flower from his master in his previous life. He had only seen it in some books. It was as precious as the magic tools handed down from ancient times, and even rarer.

It is extremely refined and pure, it can connect heaven and earth, and has the power of a panacea.

Bai Siyu hurried over and carefully pulled out the yellow talisman, red rope and brush from his backpack. According to the notes in his memory, he drew a talisman of heavenly grace and destiny, strung it with a red rope, and tied it around the neck of the flower. When the neck of the flower did not show any obvious abnormal reaction, he carefully used the brush to scrape the soil under the root of the flower...

Finally, "move" it out with the roots and soil.

Bai Siyu devoutly used the yellow talisman to protect the flower roots and its aura.

Looking at the flowers, stems and roots that were not damaged at all, Bai Siyu's eyes sparkled with excitement and his eyes slightly curved.

He put it carefully into his backpack.

This treasure is hard to come by, so he just took it for himself!

After Bai Siyu put the flowers into her bag, she happily admired the mountain scenery at night for a long time. Then Ju An and Hua Jin completed the formations they were responsible for and gathered at Bai Siyu's side.

"Okay, no problem!"

Ju'an and Hua Jin used the equipment in the Reconnaissance Department to check the Shen Ji Array together. Seeing that all the defects on it had been perfectly repaired, they finally smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, the only time they had felt that way in these days.

"Master Bai, let's go back."

"OK."

The three of them rushed out together, and when they were ten kilometers outside the dragon vein, they saw Guo Yao who had turned back to greet them.

"Master Bai, Team Leader Ju, Team Leader Hua!"

Guo Yao opened the car window wide and waved desperately.

"Get in the car—"

The three of them looked at each other and laughed.

After they got in the car, they heard Guo Yao say, "Vice Minister Wei and the others have been picked up, and they should be almost outside the mountain."

Bai Siyu knew that the "this mountain" Guo Yao was talking about was not "that mountain" and was not referring to a certain mountain, but to the entire remote and continuous mountain range.

"Was it sent to the nearest town?" Ju An asked.

"They wanted to send Vice Minister Wei to Beijing by helicopter, but he refused, so they probably went to the nearest town hospital, which is a few hundred miles away."

"Where are Shao Changwei and Wu Lili?"

"They followed, so we went straight to the town."

"I thought we were going to spend another night at our fellow villager's home," Ju An said with a smile.

"I don't want to go there. I feel a little scared. I feel that village is different from those villages that have moved away from the mountains. Team leader Ju, don't you think so?"

Chen Yao frowned and turned the steering wheel half a turn to the left with his right hand.

"And to put it bluntly, this village is still in the mountains, not far from the mountains. It's very isolated. We landed in the mountains behind the village by helicopter. I roughly counted, there are more than a dozen mountains between the remote border town and this village."

"I think it's okay. As long as it doesn't hurt anyone, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"That's right." Guo Yao nodded, "And with Master Bai here, we can handle any problem."

"Hey, Master Bai, why haven't you said anything?"

"Master Bai...seems to have fallen asleep."

Hua Jin said suddenly.

As soon as Hua Jin finished speaking, Ju An and Guo Yao looked at Bai Siyu's face reflected in the rearview mirror.

Bai Siyu's tender little face was half hidden on the back of the car seat, with a small lump of flesh squeezed out of her cheek, which trembled slightly as the car bumped along.

Thick eyelashes hung below the eyes, soft and long, illuminated by the dim overhead light in the car, casting a soft shadow.

The eyes of Ju'an and the others suddenly became kind and gentle, full of doting.

"Haha, Master Bai is so cute. He is still a child. He turns off the phone as soon as he is told to..."

"Keep your voice down, don't talk. Master Bai has been busy these past two days, and I don't know how much energy he has consumed."

"I know, I know. I wish Master Bai was my brother. I really like him..."

"You wish."

"Really, little Guo Jing is just daydreaming."

"......"

The SUV was wobbling.

Guo Yaoju'an, Hua Jin and the other two took turns driving. It took each of them three hours to completely get out of the mountains.

When we finally arrived at the nearest town beyond the vast mountain range, the sun was already high in the sky.

The sun shines brightly on the ground.

Bai Siyu curled up in the back seat, still not awake.

Guo Yao slept for about six hours and then he was almost done with rest. After all, he didn't enter the formation in the first place, so it didn't consume much energy.

"Team Leader Ju, let me do it. You go and have a rest."

Ju'an glanced at the road approaching the town buildings in the distance and pinched the bridge of his nose and his eye sockets.

"Okay, come on."

Just as the two were changing seats, the intercom, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly started buzzing.

Wei Tian's voice came from inside, and it was obviously much stronger than yesterday.

"Ju'an, Huajin, are you there?"

"Deputy Minister Wei, this is Ju An." Ju An immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and moved from the driver's seat to the back.

"What are your instructions?"

"Where are you now? Master Bai is next to you, right?"

"Deputy Minister Wei, we are almost reaching the town now." Ju An glanced at Bai Siyu who was sleeping at the back, and spoke softly.

"Master Bai is too tired and hasn't woken up yet. Do you want to find him? I'll call him now."

"Don't wake him."

A voice that was strange yet faintly familiar to Ju'an suddenly came from Wei Tian.

Cold and majestic, he exudes the aura of someone who has long been in a superior position, mixed with a bit of inexplicable resentment and doting.

"Let him rest."
