Chapter 84 Chapter 84 My wife is eager to see me
Xu Zhaoyi was not used to lying on someone else's thighs, but Qin Sheng didn't let him get up out of spite, saying: Don't move around, it will affect his thinking.
"You'd better really think about the problem!" Xu Zhaoyi complained unhappily, while grabbing his hand through the fabric that was reaching under his clothes and fiddling with his abdominal muscles.
Can you please check the time? It's broad daylight, which is fine, but the main thing is that no one is allowed to go up. What if the fire is started?
Qin Sheng didn't rush to break free from his hand, and his fingertips caressed the delicate and flexible skin. He thought that his wife was just saying one thing but doing another. If she was really unhappy, she would have pulled his hand out directly. What was the point of just holding it there?
It's like wanting to refuse but also wanting to accept.
He was indeed wondering if there was a foolproof method. The only tricky thing at the moment was that the entrance to the forbidden area was at the bottom of Luoxing Lake. The lake water and the fish monsters in the lake were two natural barriers. Although he was not afraid, he was still somewhat restricted.
It would be great if we could drain the water from Falling Star Lake.
However, if the water is pumped purely physically, the operation is a bit difficult, and the water transportation line is also long. After all, the Qin family is not dead yet, so if they want to cause trouble, they don’t need the ancestor to do it personally, Qin Xing’s younger generations who are still alive can do it.
But if we use pure metaphysics, he can't move mountains or fill the sea with just a foundation.
He thought about it for a long time and finally came up with some ideas, but he just needed to discuss it with Xu Zhaoyi.
"I want to drain the water from Luoxing Lake. Do you think it is possible to do it by modifying the teleportation array?" Qin Sheng asked him with his head down.
Xu Zhaoyi had never heard of such a fantastic story. Teleportation arrays were designed to transport people and objects, so how could they transport an entire lake? Even if it was just a moderately sized artificial lake, it was still outrageous!
The words of denial were on the tip of my tongue, but they suddenly turned into: "This is not easy, give me some time to think about it..."
After saying that, Xu Zhaoyi silently covered his forehead.
"Yeah." Qin Sheng brought a tablet over and discussed his ideas with him. It was not a wild idea, but one he came up with after he had a specific idea for improvement.
Xu Zhaoyi then became serious, sat up and leaned against him, head to head, looking at the schematic diagram that was gradually taking shape on the tablet.
"I know water has no shape and is difficult to transport, but what if we set up the formation on several large dragons sucking water?"
If this idea works, Qin Sheng can just sit by the lake and wait for the opportunity.
The Qin family only has one foundation-building ancestor and a group of useless youngsters. Xu Zhaoyi alone is enough to deal with the latter. If they want to prevent the lake from being drained, the ancestor has to take action himself.
As long as the problem of the ancestors can be solved by leading them out, it doesn’t matter whether the lake water is pumped out or not.
If the ancestor can remain calm and not show up, it would still be beneficial for them if the Falling Star Lake was drained.
It is a sure win.
Xu Zhaoyi thought about it carefully and decided that it was indeed feasible, but there were several difficulties that needed to be resolved in order to accomplish this.
"First of all, we can't build a teleportation array in a short time. Noodles and 612 have six teleportations left combined, but that's different from a traditional teleportation array. Pumping water isn't something that can be done overnight, so it may not last that long.
Secondly, it is still a matter of time. The pumping process takes at least ten hours. If the old ancestor takes the bait, you cannot guarantee whether he will show up during the day or at night.
If it is during the day, Auntie won't be able to come out to help you. The other party will definitely try their best and may even blow themselves up in an attempt to die with you. Are you sure you can win?
Finally, assuming the first problem is solved, where should the water we pump out be discharged?"
After listening to this, Qin Sheng thought about it and felt that the first problem was more difficult to solve. He called Noodles and 612 back and planned to ask them for their opinions first.
Noodles was quite shocked when he replied: [How come it ended so quickly this time, host, do you need some nourishment?]
Just when the two of them were kissing each other without paying attention, it very experiencedly pulled 612 away.
I thought I would have to wander outside for at least an hour, but I was called back in less than half an hour.
"Go clean up after yourself. I see your CPU is turning yellow." Qin Sheng ignored its nonsense.
When they came back, Qin Sheng slapped his butt with noodles in his hand. 612 was stunned. Xu Zhaoyi didn't understand what was going on, so he quickly rescued the child. After a lot of chaos, he asked about the teleportation.
Noodles grumbled, "Our teleportation can only deliver the water all at once. We can't transport it continuously. If you can pump out the water and put it in a container, I can use the teleportation to send it away."
This is nonsense. If Qin Sheng has a container that can hold the water of a whole lake, why would he need to teleport? He can just pump it out and put it in, then pour it out when he's done!
However, this also gave Qin Sheng a little inspiration, but he had to confirm with his mother first whether it was feasible.
Seeing that he was lost in thought, Xu Zhaoyi knew that he had probably thought of a solution. Sure enough, Qin Sheng suggested going to the forbidden area to meet Gu Mailan tonight, and notifying Feng Lili to make expedited preparations for the dragon-sucking water. No matter whether it would be used in the end, it was always better to be prepared. Anyway, the money was not a big deal.
He explained to Xu Zhaoyi, "Last night, when we were fighting Qin Liang, my mother opened the ghost realm and dragged us all in. This blocked Qin Liang's escape route. The ghost realm and the human world appear to overlap, but in reality, they are not connected, and there is no life in them at all. If we can fill the lake with water, there will be no need for teleportation."
His purpose was just to drain the lake.
Xu Zhaoyi had no objection, so the two of them went directly to Qin's house without waiting for dark. By then, the Qin family was deserted.
Come to think of it, with only two or three kittens left, I can't continue to live here and wait for Qin Sheng to kill them, although Qin Sheng never took these remaining people seriously.
Arriving at the entrance of Hanyan Luoxing, Qin Sheng tightened Xu Zhaoyi's hand and reminded him, "Don't take it lightly. If there's any danger, let 612 take you away. Don't waste time because of me. I'm sure I'll be fine."
Xu Zhaoyi nodded after hesitating for a moment. Qin Sheng had noodles. In times of crisis, as long as they took care of themselves, it would be the greatest help to each other.
However, Qin Sheng's caution was in vain this time. The Qin family was as quiet as a deserted graveyard. The two of them came to the forbidden area as if they were in an empty place and found Gu Mai Lan.
After hearing about Qin Sheng's brilliant idea, Gu Mailan agreed without any hesitation. Although using the ghost realm as a reservoir sounded incredible, there were no living creatures in the ghost realm, so it didn't matter what she did, as long as it could help her child.
"But this can only be done at night." said Gu Mailan.
Qin Sheng nodded: "That's not a problem, but once the ghost realm opens at night, the last foundation-building ancestor will probably know that I have a ghost cultivator helper who is comparable to the foundation-building level. I'm afraid he won't dare to show up easily."
Not only that, after the other party knows this, it is possible that the last bit of luck will be gone, and it is not impossible that he will self-destruct when he meets you. We have to be on guard.
Everything has its pros and cons. They can't have all the advantages. There's nothing we can do about it.
He and Xu Zhaoyi were fine, but Qin Sheng was a little worried about Gu Mailan's safety: "Mom, can we break into the ghost realm from the outside?"
Gu Mailan really wanted to lie to him and say no, but after putting herself in Qin Sheng's shoes, she couldn't bear to see Qin Sheng sad because something might have happened to her, so she told the truth.
"Yes, a cultivator with sufficient strength can conceal his or her human aura and enter the ghost realm, just like cultivators long ago would enter the ghost city market to buy things."
The ghost realm only protects against living people, not ghosts. However, once you enter the ghost realm, if you want to leave, Gu Mailan must be willing to let you go. Otherwise, there is only one way, to kill Gu Mailan. If the other party is really willing to do it, a self-destruction of the foundation-building stage will definitely be powerful enough.
Seeing Qin Sheng's distress, Gu Mai Lan consoled him, "Actually, he might not sacrifice himself to this extent. If he dies and the formation is broken, he will at most serve a few hundred or even thousand years in hell as a result of his karma. But if he self-destructs, he will be annihilated instantly."
Qin Sheng shook his head. "I know it's unlikely he would do that, but people react in desperate situations, and sometimes they can't control themselves. I can't bet he won't act on impulse."
Xu Zhaoyi thought that he had no idea at the moment, so he decided to go to the formation to get a better understanding of the situation. He said, "Qin Sheng and I don't know what the formation looks like yet. Auntie, please take us to see it first!"
"Okay, but don't act rashly when you get there, and don't get too close." Gu Mailan gave the instructions and led the way.
The last time they came here, all of Xu Zhaoyi's paper figures were ineffective. Now he just wanted to ask, "Auntie, were you the one who intercepted my paper figures last time?"
"That's not the case. I just didn't want to show up at the time, so I picked up a paper man and possessed him to warn the people who accidentally broke in to leave."
Gu Mailan smiled gently and waved, allowing Xu Zhaoyi to walk around Qin Sheng and come to her other side. She explained to him, "The environment here is special. Your paper figures carry part of your will, but they are not adapted to Yin energy and are weak and easily affected. Therefore, once they leave your sight, they will easily lose contact."
"Is that so..." Xu Zhaoyi nodded. It seemed that his paper man would not be able to play much of a role in breaking the formation.
The place where the formation was located was more dangerous than they had imagined. The closer they got, the more they could feel the power that was almost pulling their souls out. No wonder Gu Mailan had stayed here for so many years and had a high level of cultivation, but still had no way to deal with it.
Gu Mailan soon reached the limit and stopped. Unless she needed to use all her strength to break the formation, there was no need for her to waste energy moving forward.
She had once tried to get close despite being seriously injured, but gained nothing. The periphery of the formation was surrounded by a thick layer of positive and negative罡风. Except for Qin Sheng's soul with a special mark, once the souls of other people were completely sucked in, they would be shattered into pieces by the positive and negative罡风.
Qin Sheng and Xu Zhaoyi looked at each other. With Noodles and 612 playing tug-of-war in their minds, they were able to remain stable for the time being, just a little dizzy. Qin Sheng wanted to get closer to take a look, but Xu Zhaoyi was worried and held his hand tightly.
"Either we go together, or we don't go at all. It's your choice!"
"...Then let's go together."
Qin Sheng smiled. He didn't plan to take any risks anyway. He would naturally stop when he couldn't hold the noodles anymore.
The two of them tried to move forward. The suction force remained stable and did not increase. However, the strong wind was so sharp that it scraped against the bones and appeared out of nowhere. Qin Sheng's sleeve was torn by it when he was not careful.
So he had to stop. Xu Zhaoyi had already memorized the complete collection of formations and had done a lot of research on formations, especially the Transformation Rotating Formation. Now he squinted his eyes and observed carefully, and finally gained some results.
"This is indeed somewhat similar to the Huasheng Rotating Array, but it's more basic, with only two cores. Auntie's judgment is correct. As long as the two of you destroy the cores, the array will break."
After taking a general look at the situation, Xu Zhaoyi withdrew his gaze and quickly and cautiously pulled Qin Sheng back to Gu Mailan. God knows when he caught a glimpse of Qin Sheng's sleeve being cut, he subconsciously held his breath.
"The centers of the formation are two purple symbols. Can you estimate how long it will take to break through them?"
Qin Sheng had never seen how powerful the real purple talisman was, so naturally she couldn't. Gu Mailan was born in a war-torn era when the land of China was in chaos. However, many big families took out their most valuable things for the sake of justice. She had seen the purple talisman before.
Therefore, after a brief thought, he said, "I'll try my best, and it will take an hour." This was because the purple talisman had been used for hundreds of years, and the energy it contained was no longer as huge as it was at the beginning.
"Then Qin Sheng should be about the same."
This period of time is neither long nor short. The area around the formation is already quite dangerous. Take the strong wind for example. Qin Sheng almost didn't avoid it just now, not to mention that his soul also needs to deal with the strong suction at the same time. It is inevitable that he will feel dizzy. It seems that he has to solve all the threats first before taking action.
His previous idea of staying outside to buy them time was too unsafe.
"In that case, why don't we just stay here and go on the defensive? Once the water in Falling Star Lake is drained, I'll set up a defensive formation at the entrance to the forbidden area. If he doesn't show up again, I'll cut down all the trees in the Frost Mist Forest. We'll slowly expand our defenses until that old ancestor can no longer sit still and shows up!"
Qin Sheng's eyes lit up.
[Wife, you've become a coward too.] At least when I encounter a difficult situation, I no longer think of giving it a try without regard for my own safety.
Xu Zhaoyi was full of questions.
[You turned into a dog!]
The two of them were talking at cross purposes, and it took Xu Zhaoyi a long time to understand what Qin Sheng meant. He pouted in a helpless manner.
He is the type of person who always keeps his head down and moves forward. If he didn't have something to worry about, he wouldn't be infected by Qin Sheng and come up with such an extremely cautious style of play.
It’s all Qin Sheng’s fault. His mentality has changed, and he doesn’t know when he will be able to break through the foundation-building stage.
The culprit had no awareness of being a stumbling block on his wife's path of cultivation. After saying goodbye to Gu Mailan, he took Xu Zhaoyi back to his room in the Qin family.
Xu Zhaoyi's eyelids twitched a few times: "Hey, you don't want to do... anything here, do you?"
"What are you thinking?" Qin Sheng said with a smile: "Even if I want to do something with you, I won't choose this place, at this time!"
Isn't this Qing waiting for the other party to attack him when he is least prepared?
But if they pretended to be unable to control their emotions and let the ancestors think they were doing something, I wonder if they could lure the ancestors out...
He expressed this idea to Xu Zhaoyi in his heart, but received an indescribable roll of the eyes in return.
[As long as whoever came up with the idea is responsible for the effort, I don’t mind.]
Xu Zhaoyi spread a large stack of paper figures to investigate every corner of the Qin family's house. He pushed Qin Sheng onto the bed and then pressed himself on top of him, saying proudly, "How about I give you a massage this time, and you scream for me to hear?"
Qin Sheng calmly let him sit on top of her, pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "No, I'm afraid you'll be horrified. How can we fight with a tent under our heads?"
“Tsk, I know my priorities!” Xu Zhaoyi didn’t want to miss out on the benefits, so he quickly promised.
Qin Sheng expressed disbelief.
He raised his hand and patted Xu Zhaoyi's butt, which moved restlessly on his waist. Under Xu Zhaoyi's unconscious wide-eyed gaze, he raised an eyebrow and replied: "I'm sorry, you were so impatient last night, constantly urging me to go faster or slower. It really didn't convince me at all."
Xu Zhaoyi's face suddenly turned red.
Who is like you, so tolerant!
He secretly complained in his heart. If he hadn't clearly felt Qin Sheng's reaction last night, he would have thought that the other party was no good!
but……
A flash of inspiration came into Xu Zhaoyi's mind.
He lowered his eyes and stared at Qin Sheng for a while, then suddenly said, "Are you trying to flirt with me while rejecting me, just waiting for me to become unable to bear it and compromise with you?"
Qin Sheng’s eyes flashed: [………]
