Sure enough, it was exactly as he had guessed. After getting Master Qian's affirmative nod, Wen He didn't keep it a secret any longer. He picked up the pen again, tore out several sheets of white paper, and immersed himself in drawing for a while. Because he didn't use any spiritual power and was just drawing simple pictures, Wen He was much faster than usual. In just a short while, he had drawn eight formation diagrams and placed them in front of the masters.
At this moment, the masters of metaphysics, who had originally been confused about what Wen He was doing, suddenly realized something. Their pupils widened even wider, and even their voices trembled a little. "This... He girl, you're not saying that the formation inside is a combination of these eight formations...?"
"That's right, that formation is indeed a mixed formation, a mixture of eight formations in total, including the exorcism formation, defense formation, spirit gathering formation, etc." As he said this, Wen He stacked up the eight formations. Because the paper was relatively thin, everything became clear after stacking them up. This really was the extremely complex formation inside.
It is precisely because of this that many masters of metaphysics see completely different things. After all, this mixed formation itself contains different formations, and each master of metaphysics who is good at different formations will naturally see different things.
"I have to say, Master Shen Yan is truly a formidable figure. This hybrid formation, formed by the blending of eight formations, not only blends all of them harmoniously together, but also maximizes their effectiveness." Wen He couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Although she knew Shen Yan was a formidable figure before, she had never truly felt it. Until now, seeing such a hybrid formation, she couldn't help but be filled with wonder. "And it seems that there's more to it than that. These eight formations blend together to create a balance of their own. While protecting the caster, they're also searching for an opportunity to revive him."
"Wait... He girl, your last sentence means that at a certain time, the seal will automatically be released, and then Shen Yan will wake up again?"
"Yes." Wen He nodded and said, "This formation is mixed with a spirit-attracting formation. When the spirit-attracting formation is activated at a certain time, the seal will be automatically lifted, and Master Shen Yan should wake up again."
As she spoke, Wen He explained to everyone the principle of checks and balances and coordination of mixed formations. The more she spoke, the more she admired Shen Yan. Wen He had never imagined such a check and balance in formations, and she couldn't even imagine why someone could master formations to such an extent, as if he could easily fabricate a new and perfect mixed formation. The more she analyzed, the more she couldn't control her admiration. She understood why, after more than eighty years, Master Shen Yan still had such an unattainable status in the minds of many metaphysical disciples, because Master Shen Yan deserved such admiration.
It has to be said that at this moment, Wen He couldn't help but admire Shen Yan a little. He originally thought that the content, formation, and insights recorded on the jade card were already treasures, but he never thought that Shen Yan himself was the real treasure. His genius and talent were the most precious things!
However, Wen He, who couldn't help but indulge in Shen Yan's mixed formation at that time, didn't know that many masters of metaphysics beside her were also amazed and surprised when they saw her.
Yes, Chen Yan was indeed very powerful, but for someone like Wen He, who could deduce that this was a mixed formation based solely on the somewhat messy formation diagram they brought with them, and then restore it with perfect accuracy, that's not something an ordinary person could do. Clearly, there weren't just Chen Yan among the talented and powerful people here, but also this girl who was obsessed with it.
What's more, how old is this girl now? It looks like... she is only in her early twenties. Her future is limitless!
Such shock flashed across the eyes of many masters of metaphysics. It was unknown how long it took before they came to their senses and suddenly remembered the important matters to deal with. After all, now that the results were inferred, the first thing they had to do was to contact the Shen family and explain the situation.
Several impatient masters of metaphysics had already hurriedly contacted the Shen family. Not long after, they heard a burst of hurried footsteps, and saw several old men and a few young people rushing over with nervous looks on their faces. Among them was Shen Xiu. When he saw Wen He, Zhang Daxian and other familiar people, Shen Xiu was stunned for a while, and it took him a while to react. He nodded slightly to Wen He and others, as if he found that the news was from reliable people, and his face was obviously much more relaxed.
The other old men beside Shen Xiu should be the elders of the Shen family. They seem to be familiar with many masters of metaphysics. They are also knowledgeable and have solid basic skills in metaphysics. Holding the eight formation diagrams drawn by Wen He, after listening to the simple analysis of many masters, they knew what they meant.
"You mean to say that even if we don't need to do anything, our Shen family master will wake up automatically? We're just waiting for... the right time?"
"If my inference is correct, we've just sorted it out and deduced it ourselves, and we've discovered that this seal is indeed mutually restrained. There's a high chance it will automatically release. We just need to wait for an opportunity, a chance for the seal to automatically release."
"But even so...it's not a solution..."
Several elders of the Shen family couldn't help but shake their heads, sighing: "The situation of the Shen family is serious now. I believe you can all see it. We, the Shen family, are not attached to this status or anything like that. If the Shen family disciples are not outstanding or lack the ability, it is time to transfer them to other families for management. This is normal, and we really can't say anything. But the Shen family cannot fall now. There are too many implicated foundations. It is connected to many small families. If the Shen family falls, it may not be just the Shen family that falls, but it is very likely that many small families will fall together. The number of disciples in the metaphysical world will also decrease rapidly. We, the Shen family, cannot afford to fall... Given the current serious situation, I am afraid we can't wait until that moment..."
Master Xuanming and others were also aware of the situation of the Shen family. Just as the old elders of the Shen family said, the Shen family looked like a family, but in fact, they had supported many weak metaphysical disciples, thus forming the current huge Shen family. Once the Shen family collapsed, the ones who were most affected were the lower-level disciples.
After all, it costs a lot of money to practice metaphysics. Without the financial support of the Shen family, it will be even more difficult to practice. Gradually, he might quit the metaphysics world and make a living elsewhere.
This is also the reason why the masters of metaphysics who have some understanding of the key to this are trying their best to help the Shen family, especially now that the situation in the metaphysics world has begun to become turbulent and the situation has become more serious.
But it is true that at present, it seems that the best way to let the Shen family get back on its feet is to let Shen Yan wake up. However, due to time constraints, the Shen family can no longer wait. If this opportunity does not come, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Don't worry, it won't take long. The time is coming soon."
At this moment, Wen He, who had just figured out something, couldn't help but interject. As he threw down his pen, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and smiled brightly at everyone. "The time is almost here. If I'm not mistaken, the formation should be slightly loosened. The time will come in three days at the latest."
Wen He's statement immediately made everyone present smile. Although they still couldn't prove whether Wen He's statement was right or wrong, the idea of the mixed formation was deduced by Wen He. She also restored the mixed formation completely without seeing the original formation. Wen He's words were extremely convincing.
What's more, it's only three days. If Shen Yan can really wake up within these three days, their Shen family will be saved!
It has to be said that at this moment, the Shen family's complexion had improved a lot, and they were even interested in staying and chatting with Wen He for a few words, and expressed their admiration for the special fruits grown by Wen He.
This really shocked the masters of metaphysics who knew about the special fruit but had never known its origin. Coupled with Wen He's previous performance, Wen He became a popular target without realizing it. Many masters of metaphysics couldn't help but enthusiastically exchange contact information with Wen He, saying that they could contact him if they needed anything. Wen He was so flattered that he felt extremely embarrassed. With a slightly red face, he kept thanking the many masters of metaphysics for their care.
Of course, whatever happened in this room was kept secret by both the Shen family and Master Xuanming and the others tacitly.
As soon as they left the room, they returned to their previous worried expressions, especially the elders of the Shen family, who acted out their anxiety and nervousness to perfection, as if the surprise and relaxation they had felt in the room before had never existed. Each of them was like an Oscar winner, and Wen He was stunned for a while, feeling as if he had accidentally opened up a new world.
But it must be said that perhaps because they had expectations in their hearts, Zhang Daxian, Master Xuanming and others were much more relaxed in the next three days. Chen Xiu would occasionally come here on business and analyze the current situation of the major families in the metaphysical world with many masters. After all, in such a competitive place, any thoughts would be easily revealed.
Soon, three days passed in the blink of an eye.
There were still some metaphysical masters waiting outside to check on Shen Yan, seemingly eager to give it a try, but they were already the last batch. As expected, those who didn't understand the intricacies of the sealing formation returned empty-handed, gaining nothing.
By now, there are not many people left in the Shen family's main house. Some masters of metaphysics left on the same day after trying and finding that there was no hope at all. In the past few days, many more have left one after another.
Those who stayed to watch the fun shook their heads in disappointment when they saw the last group of metaphysical masters coming out empty-handed. Soon they also left the Shen family's main house. All of a sudden, the Shen family's main house, which was originally crowded, became much more spacious. In the end, the only people left were basically the people in Wen He's room, all waiting for the important moment to come. According to Wen He's previous time, it should be around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhang Daxian and others looked at the time. Although they were also very anxious to know the result, it was not a big deal to just sit there and wait. The Shen family seemed to have considered this and invited Master Xuanming and others to have lunch together, and then wait for the important result together after the meal.
Wen He had no objection to this. She was indeed a little hungry. Moreover, as the matter was approaching, Wen He became a little nervous. Although she had at least an 80% chance of confirming that her inference was correct, as time approached, Wen He, who was not very nervous at first, became a little nervous. It was really torturous to just wait like this. It would be better to fill her stomach first.
Thinking of this, Wen He nodded and followed Zhang Daxian. However, just when she was halfway there, Wen He felt a familiar black shadow flash by on the eaves of the wall, causing her steps to stop abruptly.
Wait, that agile gray-blue shadow is... could it be her big cat?!
No way. This time, Wen He knew that he would have to stay outside for several days, and the situation might be more serious, so he did not bring the big cat out at the beginning. But such an extremely familiar figure made Wen He a little panicked. After all, the big cat had often followed him out before, and it was lost in the city center last time, so Wen He could not rule out this possibility.
What if that really was a big cat? Luckily, we found it last time, but what if it really got lost now? And the terrain of the Shen family's main residence is so complicated, how can we find a cat?!
Thinking of this, Wen He finally couldn't help it and called his mother who was far away in the old house. The situation on his mother's side was fine, and there was nothing unusual. But when Wen He asked his mother where the big cat was, his mother's extremely puzzled voice came from the phone: "Big cat? Didn't the big cat follow you? I saw with my own eyes that after you got in the front seat of the car, the big cat jumped into the back seat and followed you. What's wrong, Xiao He? Why do you sound so panicked? Did something happen?"
Her big cat had indeed followed her secretly, but she had not seen the shadow of her big cat until now!
Thinking of this, Wen He became even more anxious, but she couldn't let her mother worry, so she just hurriedly said a few words to her mother, briefly explained the situation here, and said that she would be back in the next two days, and then hung up the phone. At the same time, she also apologized to Zhang Daxian and others, saying that she was afraid that she could not have dinner with so many masters, and she might need to leave for some urgent matters.
Of course, Zhang Daxian and the others wanted Wen He to stay and wait until the last moment. After all, Wen He was the one who was most familiar with the mixed seal. However, Wen He's face was full of anxiety. Although they didn't know what the reason was, the masters nodded and told Wen He to go quickly, and leave the rest of the matters to them.
Upon seeing this, Wen He thanked all the masters and hurried towards the direction where she had just seen the big cat disappear. After seeing the figure again from a distance, she was completely sure that the shadow was undoubtedly her big cat.
But this time, the big cat didn't seem to find Wen He, but seemed to be looking for something. After a while, its figure stopped on the eaves of the Shen family's main house for a few seconds, and then, as if it had discovered something, it jumped up and disappeared in an instant. And that direction, if she remembered correctly, was the center of the Shen family's main house, the direction of Master Shen Yan's room, right?
Realizing this, Wen He became even more anxious. After all, today was an important day for Master Shen to wake up. Now it was estimated that there would be less than three hours until Master Shen woke up. If the big cat got into trouble at such an important time, Wen He would really have nowhere to cry.
Thinking of this, Wen He gritted his teeth and rushed towards the direction where the big cat disappeared, hoping to bring the big cat back before Master Shen woke up.
The main house of the Shen family is very large, especially the interior, which is not only large but also heavily guarded. There are several Shen family's metaphysical disciples guarding it. Especially the closer to Shen Yan's room, the more heavily guarded it is. However, because Wen He is familiar with Shen Xiu and Master Xuan Ming, she was not stopped when she walked all the way there. Several metaphysical disciples even thought that Wen He was sent by the Shen family to check on Shen Yan's condition, and even took the initiative to bring her to the vicinity of Shen Yan's room.
"Here, that's it, Master Wen. You can go there by yourself. We'll be waiting outside. If you need anything, feel free to call us."
Seeing that the Shen family disciples trusted him so much, Wen He felt extremely ashamed and almost wanted to apologize, but when he thought of the big cat that jumped in, he suppressed himself, nodded a little stiffly, and walked towards Shen Yan's room.
After just two steps and arriving at the door of Shen Yan's room, Wen He was 90% sure that her big cat had been here. It was not because of anything else, but simply because Shen Yan's room was not closed, but slightly ajar, and Wen He also saw several claw marks at the crack of the door. Whose masterpiece could it be if not the masterpiece of the big cat?
In fact, Wen He had vaguely sensed before that the big cat must have some connection with Shen Yan, otherwise he would not value the jade token so much, and seemed to be very clear about the importance of the jade token.
And that jade token belonged to Chen Yan. It was not difficult to infer that the big cat knew Chen Yan. Maybe its previous owner was Chen Yan, which was why it was so loyal to help him guard the jade token. In fact, the reason why the big cat followed her back at the beginning was probably because the jade token was in her hand, and he followed her back because he wanted to protect it.
Unexpectedly, just as Chen Yan showed the slightest sign of waking up, the big cat couldn't wait to rush in. It would be a lie to say that she was not sad at all. After all, she liked the big cat so much, and the big cat seemed to like her very much and was always sticking to her. In such a situation, how could Wen He not have any emotional fluctuations?
But Wen He still had a sense of propriety. At least she was clearly aware that now was not the time to be discouraged. The important thing was to find the big cat first.
Thinking of this, Wen He took a deep breath and whispered "Sorry to bother you". Then he pushed the door open quietly. However, when he looked up and saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned.
In fact, Wen He should have seen what Chen Yan looked like before. It was at the sealed land where the big cat and the little white mouse were found. In the historical images recorded by various remaining magical instruments, the handsome man who faced Wei Yanwang with an unchanging expression and was extremely powerful, and who suppressed the entire seal with his own strength, should be Chen Yan without a doubt.
But now, at this moment, when Wen He saw Master Chen Yan, he still couldn't help holding his breath.
It was not only because Shen Yan's handsome appearance was almost impeccable, but also because of his aura. Even now, when he was sleeping with his eyes closed, the aura around him was still extremely compelling. The moment he saw Shen Yan, Wen He subconsciously took several steps back until his back hit the door. With no way to retreat, Wen He barely stopped.
It must be said that at this moment, Wen He's opinion of Shen Yan was extremely complicated. Because of the mystery of the mixed formation, she couldn't help but admire Shen Yan as a genius, but also because she saw the real person in reality and was suppressed by such a powerful aura, Wen He couldn't help but feel a little scared.
At this moment, the jade pendant hanging around her neck seemed to sense Wen He's fear and became slightly warm. This allowed Wen He to slowly come back to her senses. She took a long breath, rubbed her face, quickly calmed herself down, and told herself: It's okay, Master Shen Yan hasn't woken up yet, and it shouldn't offend him. She just needs to quickly search the room to see if there is any sign of the big cat.
Thinking of this, Wen He acted quickly. However, the strange thing was that the big cat should have entered the room, but after searching everywhere, there was no trace of the big cat. The only thing left was Shen Yan's side.
At that moment, something seemed to stir in the curtains at the head of Shen Yan's bed. Was it the wind? Or was the big cat there? But the location over there was too close to Shen Yan to get close to. If he wanted to open the curtains to see, he would have to reach over Shen Yan's body.
This... is okay, right? Anyway, Shen Yan hasn't woken up yet. As long as she moves quickly and confirms whether the big cat is here, it will be fine. If not, she can at least feel a little relieved and look for it elsewhere in the Shen residence.
Thinking of this, Wen He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and whispered "I'm sorry" several times as he approached Chen Yan. Then he gently pressed the edge of the bed with his left hand, leaned forward, passed over Chen Yan, and stretched out his right hand. He was just a little bit away from reaching the curtains.
At this time, Wen He did not notice that due to the large amplitude of his body movements, the jade token hanging around his neck was attracted by gravity and slipped out from under his collar, hanging in the air. At this moment, the jade token seemed to resonate with the seal array underneath that was sealed on Shen Yan. The jade token emitted a faint warm light, and then, there were several "click" sounds, and a very familiar sound similar to the sound of a seal being lifted rang out, which suddenly woke Wen He up. He seemed to feel something and lowered his head subconsciously.
So, in that instant, Wen He's eyes met a pair of inky black, extremely deep eyes.
Chen Yan... woke up! At this critical moment!
