Two days later, they all stopped what they were doing and gathered together to discuss how to break the formation.
Besides hiring outside help, they had to handle many details themselves.
Moreover, it's not certain that we can even get foreign players; we have to prepare for the worst.
When Old Jiang and the others from the back hill of Qianjin Village saw Hua Xiangyun arrive, their faces lit up with smiles, which meant that the problem that had been troubling them for some time had finally been resolved.
They are willing to stay in this mountain, even if they are not reincarnated, but they are unwilling to be sacrificed to achieve a certain purpose.
Moreover, if it were to be done through sacrifice to help the enemy, they would rather their souls be scattered.
Hua Xiangyun told them to calm down and followed Wu Chenxi directly to the center of the formation.
"According to the records in the rare book collected by our ancestors, in order to break the Nine Dragons Returning to Formation, we must set up an array at the nine sacrificial sites."
Wu Chenxi first set up an isolation array on the outside before saying, "But to be able to set up such an array here, there must be a feng shui master from our side who is in charge, so I dare not disturb others."
The only way now is for us to destroy the core of the formation first, then move to the other locations and change positions to cause the formation to collapse.
Zhan Xiang had already discerned the direction from Zhan Wu's description, figured out their current location, and also located the formation.
Although his sect only specialized in feng shui, he had a connection with the Wu family. When the old master Wu was teaching his senior sister, he didn't hold back and gave her some pointers on several formations.
He then obtained a fragment of a formation manual by chance, which contained such a formation. He later gave it to Master Wu.
That's probably why Senior Sister Wu brought him here this time.
"The time hasn't come yet, everyone should take this time to rest. There will be a tough battle tonight." Wu Chenxi didn't touch the formation, for fear of disturbing the enemy.
Fortunately, the Nine Dragons Returning Formation requires a full century to form in order to unleash its full power.
Once this key point is broken, the so-called sacrifice will cease to exist, and the true success or failure will be decided tonight.
Jiang Yi laid out the dry rations and dishes he had prepared in advance.
The aroma of several bowls of meat made Zhan Wu lick his lips. These past few days had been what life was all about; he felt like he could finally gain some weight around his stomach.
Sister Wu really made a good choice in taking on this disciple; it's like buying one and getting one free, so the young couple can treat each other to her filial piety.
I wonder if they have the good fortune to do so. Maybe they should also look for a young apprentice?
Soon, he stopped thinking about these things. Jiang Yi had already prepared a bowl for Zhan Xiang, and everyone else picked up their chopsticks as well.
The arriving spirits dared not approach and instead guarded the area from a distance.
I wonder how skilled these masters are? Are they able to preserve their feng shui essence?
But they were just spirits and didn't know how to deal with it, so they could only watch anxiously.
“Hey Ren, you old devil,” one of the spirits floated to Ren Jinpeng’s side, “you’ve been in contact with that little master all along, why don’t you go and ask him if sacrificing our spirits can enhance their power?”
“I asked them this a long time ago, and they said it wasn’t necessary, but I’m still getting anxious.”
"By the way, I asked you to keep an eye on Yamaguchi. Did you find anything else?"
Because of this incident, Ren Jinpeng temporarily became a minor leader in the surrounding mountains. He would report any situation to the master.
"No, I just asked the leaders of a few villages, and apart from the local villagers, no outsiders have come up the mountain."
"Why are the villagers going into the mountains at this time?" Old Jiang suddenly floated to their side. "It's the busy farming season now, and the village doesn't have enough labor. They can't possibly come into the mountains to look for wild produce, can they?"
...
Ren Jinpeng was stunned. They lived nearby and knew exactly when they went into the mountains to find mountain produce and wild fruits.
If it wasn't a trap to snatch some wild animals, then there's a high probability that this person went into the mountains during the busy farming season.
"Which village are they from? On which mountains have they appeared?"
"Xunjia Village," a little imp suddenly emerged from the crack, raising his hand excitedly, "I saw it! That person went into the mountains and seemed nonchalant, but he was acting suspiciously, as if he was looking for something. Actually, he glanced at the nearby mountains many times."
"You little brat, why didn't you say so sooner?" Old Jiang reached out and pressed down, and the little brat's shadow dispersed, but quickly re-formed nearby.
"You adults are really annoying, always resorting to physical violence. Besides, didn't you say you were keeping an eye on people coming into the mountains from outside? You didn't say you were keeping an eye on the nearby villages."
"Stop pretending to be young, kid. You've been dead for decades. If you were that naive, how did you manage to squeeze to the front?" Old Jiang said disdainfully. "Tell me quickly, what's going on? Have you found anything else?"
"Yes, kid, you can't keep it a secret any longer. This is about whether we can collect some interest."
Even if one becomes a spirit, some hatred is already engraved in the soul and cannot be erased.
"I dare not get too close. I always feel that person is a bit eerie, like he can see me." The little brat quickly moved away from the big shots to avoid being disintegrated again and having to go through the trouble of piecing them back together.
"However, I have wandered around several villages nearby and know that he is a hunter from Xunjia Village. He used to make a living by hunting in the mountains. It was only after the implementation of communism that he started working in the fields with everyone else."
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, the little devil quickly said, "I came here as soon as I got the news. That person has already gone down the mountain, but there are still several mountains between us and him, so he can't see what's going on here at all. So I'm wondering if I made a mistake?"
He hesitated when he floated over, afraid that he might have wrongly accused an innocent person.
"Quickly send a spirit to keep an eye on things," Old Jiang said, then realized something was wrong. "Find the spirits of those nearby villages. They wander around the villages all day long and should know some secrets."
The little rascal wasn't so optimistic; if there had been anything unusual, someone would have reported it long ago.
The villagers in the surrounding area all said that they had encountered this person in the mountains before. He was either hunting or picking up wild produce, and there was no flaw in his behavior.
I only glanced at him a few times today, and I felt that his gaze was somewhat unfocused, and that he was observing the mountains too intently, so I said something.
"What do you know?" Ren Jinpeng also wanted to tap him on the head. Sure enough, this kid hadn't been taught and didn't understand many things. "The other party can set up a feng shui formation here, so he must have some real skills. How can he get an ordinary person to guard this place?"
Let me tell you, people can be cunning; sometimes they do things even ghosts wouldn't dare to mess with them.
He had clearly forgotten that he, too, had once been a human being...
