275 Feng Ming's Thoughts
Chapter 275
(Only one update)
There is not much danger in the abandoned mansion. Perhaps the original owner thought that if the abandoned mansion was left deep in the sea, and there was a formation hidden, it would be difficult for cultivators to find it unless the effect of the formation was greatly reduced due to insufficient energy. Therefore, there were not many levels in the abandoned mansion that were difficult for intruders.
This made it convenient for Feng Ming and his party, and it did not take too long to explore the entire abandoned mansion.
In the study of the abandoned mansion, they found clues about the original owner. He was a cultivator at the peak of the Yuandan realm, but because he offended the royal family, he hid from place to place and finally hid in the deep sea, leaving his cave here.
According to the original owner's description of the royal family at that time, this cultivator was only about 500 years ago, which can be said to be not very far away.
If I tell you his name, maybe some older cultivators will still remember his name.
The original owner's surname was Lu and his given name was Xia.
Ji Yuan looked at the name and said, "I seem to have heard of this Senior Lu Xia, but I wonder if they are the same person."
Feng Ming asked curiously, "Who is the Senior Lu you know?"
Ji Yuan sighed and said, "That Senior Lu is on the royal wanted list, and the charge is stealing royal treasures."
Good guy, Feng Ming's eyes widened and he said, "In fact, you are already certain in your heart that the two seniors are the same person. Did he really steal royal treasures?"
Bai Qiaomo said, "Let's look for more clues. Maybe Senior Lu left some records."
They had roughly flipped through it before, so this time they had to be more careful.
Feng Ming suggested, "Brother Bai, you and Ji Yuan should set up the formation trap. Qiu Yi and I have nothing to do anyway, so let's look around in the mansion."
"Okay."
This Senior Lu didn't seem to be a very wealthy man. In addition to some spiritual fruit trees and spiritual herbs planted in the mansion, there were only items that Senior Lu had used, such as his spiritual tools.
And Senior Lu's corpse and storage ring were not seen, which showed that he did not pass away in the mansion, but left.
Considering that this mansion was to be used as bait to attract other cultivators, Feng Ming and the other three did not touch the spiritual fruit trees and spiritual herbs outside.
Of course, they already have all the spiritual fruits and herbs growing here, and there is no need to replenish them for the time being, so Feng Ming generously left them for the later comers.
Of course, whether they can get them depends on their luck, and whether they can pass the traps set by two fifth-grade formation masters.
Feng Ming felt a pity that he could not witness with his own eyes how those cultivators passed the levels.
In the past, they passed the levels set by others, but they have never seen others pass the levels set by them. Isn't it a pity?
If they are not strong enough, they are worried about being discovered. Otherwise, they will leave a photo stone in the trap, record those scenes, or broadcast it live on the spot.
Feng Ming thinks this idea is very good. Now his strength is not enough, and he will definitely put it into practice when his strength increases in the future.
Take a small notebook and write it down, so as not to forget it later.
"What are you writing?" Qiu Yi asked curiously when he saw Feng Ming suddenly take out a small booklet and a pen to write something. Feng
Ming finished writing and handed the booklet to Qiu Yi to show him: "Use it to remind myself, how about it? Is my idea good?"
After reading it quickly, Qiu Yi's expression was dull. How could a cultivator be so bored that he would come up with such an idea?
Feng Ming shook his head and said, "Don't you think this is interesting? And I will leave some good things in there, so that those who try to break in will not waste their time. You don't know, there is a place where emperors build their own tombs before they die, but they are worried that they will be dug up by future generations, so one emperor built many fake tombs, and then there are fake tombs No. 1, No. 2, and so on, maybe we can learn from them."
The mansion was not very big, and Feng Ming's voice was not concealed, so Bai Qiaomo and Ji Yuan who were outside could also hear it, and Ji Yuan burst out laughing. Ji
Yuan said: "What kind of bad taste does your Feng Ming have? He wouldn't really want to do this."
Bai Qiaomo smiled and said: "Why not?"
Ji Yuan was dumbfounded, and quickly reacted: "Brother Bai, are you always like this, or have you been corrupted by Feng Ming?"
Bai Qiaomo curled his lips and said: "What do you think, Brother Ji?"
Based on this sentence, Ji Yuan knew "So you two are on the same path, and Ji is blind."
Then he discussed with Bai Qiaomo, "I think my formation skills are not too bad, and I can play a role. Can you count me in? It can reduce your workload."
Bai Qiaomo looked at him with a smile, saying that he was led astray by Mingdi, and there were a few people who would not be influenced by Mingdi.
Bai Qiaomo said, "Okay."
Ji Yuan immediately changed his words and said, "Fengming's idea is good, it can benefit those who come after him."
Bai Qiaomo smiled but said nothing.
In the study, Qiu Yi rubbed his face. Like Ji Yuan, after receiving and digesting what Fengming said, Qiu Yi suddenly felt that this matter was very interesting and worth a try, and wanted to jump in and participate.
"Then what can I do? We, as pharmacists, can only provide some pills."
Feng Ming said, "Isn't that enough? We can then stuff some good pills in, fourth-grade and fifth-grade ones. By then I will definitely be able to refine sixth-grade ones."
Qiu Yi was excited: "Sure, we will then refine some good pills and stuff them in."
"Yes, even if we leave in the future, we still have to leave our names on this continent. After hundreds or thousands of years, people will remember us."
Ji Yuan, who was listening outside, twitched his mouth: "Your Feng Ming is so ambitious."
Bai Qiaomo said, "Even without these, brother Ming's name will always remain on this Feihong Continent."
Wherever Feng Ming is, no one will feel bored, even deep in the sea.
Ji Yuan and Bai Qiaomo were busy designing formation traps, making sure to increase the difficulty so that intruders could not easily pass through.
Feng Ming and Qiu Yi were busy finding more clues about the original owner's identity and his past.
Several beasts were having fun in the mansion. After they got out, except for the little snake, they had to stay in the pet bag, so they couldn't waste the time now. Two
days passed in a blink of an eye. Bai Qiaomo and Ji Yuan changed the formation in the mansion beyond recognition. There was no trace of the original formation. Most of it was done by Bai Qiaomo, and a small part was contributed by Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan deeply realized that Bai Qiaomo and Feng Ming were really the same kind of people. Although Bai Qiaomo appeared to be a gentleman and everyone who saw him would think that he was very upright, the formations and traps he set up were so dangerous that they would kill people without mercy.
It turned out that formations could be used in this way. It turned out that with just a slight change, a harmless formation could become a weapon to trap people.
Ji Yuan always thought that he was a person with inner chasms, otherwise he would not have survived in an environment like the royal family and received a lot of praise.
But now compared with Bai Qiaomo, he realized that he was far behind.
He didn't know that most of the formations that were used to trick people were used by Bai Qiaomo in his previous life. At that time, he was alone and faced many enemies. It was easy to suffer losses by fighting alone. After
suffering too many losses, he started to think about formations, using formations to trick others and return all the losses he suffered.
It was for this reason that he worked hard to study formations, and later gradually developed an interest in it, but at that time, the basics were still lacking.
At that time, learning formations was to counterattack the enemy, so compared with other uses of formations, he was better at formations that tricked others. Some of them were learned from other places, and some were thought out by himself. The more he used them, the more flexible he became.
His level came from actual combat. Ji Yuan was not as good as him because he lacked a long period of practical experience.
Practice brings true knowledge.
Now, this ancient mansion is full of traps. If you are not careful, you will step into a trap. Anyway, Feng Ming and Qiu Yi stayed in the study and would not go out.
Several beasts were also tied up by them to prevent them from triggering the trap before outsiders came in.
"Have you found any new clues?"
Feng Ming took out a few books and opened different pages for them to read: "Look, this Senior Lu once joined the Golden Armor Guard for a period of time, which was equivalent to doing things for the court, but then suddenly left the court and left in anger. It should be that Senior Lu discovered something during that time."
Qiu Yi did not say anything, because it involved the Dongmu royal family, and he, the grandson who was related to the emperor by blood, really couldn't say anything.
He was not very clear about many secrets of the royal family, and now he gradually realized that the royal family was not as glamorous as he thought.
Bai Qiaomo and Ji Yuan were also surprised that Senior Lu actually joined the Golden Armor Guard. It was too unexpected.
Especially Ji Yuan, he didn't know about this experience of Senior Lu at all, and it was not mentioned in the records he had read. The royal family must have deliberately covered it up.
"Also, Senior Lu said that all the major forces are the same, and they control all the cultivators in the mainland and manipulate their fate. Senior Lu wanted to fight for a future, but obviously he failed in the end."
"Senior Lu is unwilling to become a prisoner of the royal family, to be branded with the royal family's mark, to have no freedom, and to be manipulated by them all his life."
Ji Yuan sneered, "I had expected that leaving Feihong Continent through the royal family would require a considerable price. It seems that this price is the freedom that Senior Lu mentioned. Even if you leave Feihong Continent, you will have to continue to work for the royal family and be manipulated by them. This is to force the cultivators to voluntarily be branded with their mark in their soul sea, which is equivalent to becoming their slaves."
Qiu Yi was shocked: "Is it so serious?"
He had not thought so deeply about it when he saw these records before. It was really as Senior Ji said. Which genius cultivator would be willing to suffer such humiliation.
Bai Qiaomo said calmly, "When I met Lord Kong Zhao in Chiri City before, he advised me to join the Silver Armor Guard and work for the court. He said that only by joining the court can I get better development space." Ji
Yuan sneered, "It's the same as Senior Lu. Senior Lu was probably moved by such words and joined, but in the end he found out the truth and rebelled against the court. , and was finally wanted by the court on trumped-up charges."
Qiu Yi was stunned and said, "Is there no other way to leave? Does it have to be like this?"
Ji Yuan said firmly, "There must be a way. If there is no way, we will open a way ourselves. Brother Bai and I will become the most outstanding array mages on this continent. With our joint efforts, can't we build a passage to the outside?"
"We have the teleportation array left by Senior Lu, and Brother Bai has such a high talent for array formations. We can definitely do what Senior Lu couldn't do."
Bai Qiaomo patted Ji Yuan on the shoulder. Ji Yuan was more ambitious than him. He was able to leave by relying on another teleportation channel, but Ji Yuan wanted to leave by building a channel with his own strength.
Feng Ming said at this time: "Why do you have to spend so much effort to build it yourself? Can't you just find one?"
Ji Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Is there a way?"
The implication was that if there was, then of course there was no need to build it yourself.
Bai Qiaomo's breathing stagnated slightly. Did he misunderstand?
Feng Ming said, "How do we know it doesn't exist without looking for it? Senior Lu's bad luck doesn't mean we don't have good luck either. Apart from other things, Brother Bai and I have always had good luck."
Seeing Brother Ming talking nonsense seriously again, Bai Qiaomo couldn't help but laugh.
Ji Yuan also laughed, "Well, you are lucky. If we can find it, it's even better. If we can't find it, we can just find a way to build it ourselves. Anyway, there is nothing we can't do."
"Of course, I don't want to die in Feihong Continent. There is no point in leaving a name behind." Feng Ming said as a matter of course.
Feng Ming said, "I have another suggestion."
Ji Yuan and Qiu Yi twitched their lips and looked at Feng Ming. What suggestion did this guy come up with? This guy has endless ideas.
Feng Ming's proposal this time was very serious: "I think we should let other cultivators see what we found, so that more cultivators can understand the true face of the five major forces, right? Of course, we have no control over those who are willing to serve the royal family, but I believe that more cultivators will be like Senior Lu, who would rather die than surrender. And Ji Yuan, didn't you say that Senior Lu is still wanted by the royal family? These records may help Senior Lu clear his name."
Well, Ji Yuan felt that Feng Ming's proposal this time was really serious. Not to mention him, even Qiu Yi agreed.
So Bai Qiaomo and Ji Yuan arranged these items in the formation trap together, and the cultivators who successfully broke through the barrier could get these items.
To this end, they also contributed some of their own items, such as good spiritual herbs and rare natural treasures. Pills could not be put in because they were too artificial.
But Yuanling Fruit and the ten thousand year old spiritual milk from the same place were definitely rare items, and Yuandan realm masters would fight for them.
These good things could stimulate the cultivators who were trying to break through the barriers, making them more motivated and not feel that they were being tricked by Fengming and the others.
Fengming silently cheered for them in his heart.
"Let's go, it's getting late. If we're late, something bad will happen."
After putting away the beasts and leaving only the little snake, the four of them left the ruins again. The little snake turned into a sea snake and took them away from the ruins again.
They found a hidden place to hide and calculated the time. Bai Qiaomo said, "The time has come. The ruins will appear in the world."
Yes, he and Ji Yuan specially set up the strange phenomenon of the ruins appearing in the world. The scope of this phenomenon will be relatively wide, ensuring that more cultivators can notice it and attract cultivators outside.
"Wow, such a rich vitality." Feng Ming could clearly sense it.
At this time, deep in the sea, cultivators who had just dived into the sea and stayed on the nearby sea surface also noticed the fluctuation of vitality from the deep sea at the same time.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the wave.
"What is that?"
"A treasure was born? Or did the old mansion appear? Did someone touch the dragon's treasure, causing it to appear?"
Swish, several wave cultivators on the sea flew in the direction of the wave.
