"After Xingsheng Street was razed to the ground, the mysterious person disappeared. Old Yuan led people to search for her for a whole day, but found no clues. It was as if she disappeared out of thin air. I don't know if she will cooperate with our operation this time."

While Gu Xuanyan explained the matter of the man in black to Zhang San, she placed her hand on the lovebirds.

Just like when he merged with Xingtian and used the power of the secret painting to perform Xingtian's Dharma image, when the two came into contact, the lovebirds that were originally preparing to spread their wings and fly high instantly turned into a stream of light and poured into Gu Xuanyan's body.

Immediately afterwards, a formidable flame began to cheer and dance in Gu Xuanyan's palm like a naughty child.

Different from the simple summoning ability of Confucian painting skills, the terrifying thing about the secret painting school is the control.

"He is hiding his head and showing his tail. Either he has something to hide or he has other intentions. But in the final analysis, he is at best an A-class extraordinary person. If he is just practicing external skills, he will not have much influence on the current battle situation."

Gu Xuanyan didn't say much about the rejection in Zhang San's words. After all, based on previous experience, Zhang San's grasp of the overall situation was far beyond that of ordinary people.

Looking at the door getting closer and closer, as his first wife, Zhang San could indeed get carried away about certain things, but Gu Xuanyan had to remind him again.

"Since Wu Tianzhen has already been dragged into the water, adding one more doesn't seem to be a big deal. Is there really no need to inform Magistrate Sun in advance?"

"For matters like this, my advice is always to act first and ask for permission later!"

As the saying goes, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Without saying anything more, Zhang San shook hands with Gu Xuanyan and strode forward.

If he guessed correctly, Sun Shan was a spy planted by the Xuanwu Commander in Taiping County. As for the specific purpose, Zhang San was too lazy to guess.

However, based on their previous interactions, Zhang San can be sure that Sun Xianyou is not a pedantic scholar who only talks about military affairs but nothing else.

He has the Confucian spirit of preferring to die with honor rather than live in disgrace, and he also has the desire to do practical things for the people of Taiping County. This can be seen from the fact that he withstood the pressure of the cofferdam and wrote a report for Zhang San.

It is better to let such a person go. If he plots too deeply, Zhang San himself will feel embarrassed.

…

From Xiaoke's intrusion before to the stone lion's later report, Zhang San had given the planners enough time to prepare. If he couldn't catch a big fish, then he deserved to be executed along with his entire clan.

But fortunately, I have good luck.

The footsteps of the two men were like signals. As soon as they stepped into the ruined temple gate, the surrounding scenery changed several times because of the formation.

It's not just a simple way to block out the sound. Looking up at the moon hanging high in the sky and the stars scattered on the night sky, even with Zhang San's state of mind, he couldn't help but sigh at the other party's generosity.

"It seems to be more than just an empty shell. If I'm not mistaken, the moonlight here can be absorbed."

If even the demons can do this practice, there is no reason why humans cannot crack it. The reason why so few exercises choose to absorb moonlight is simply because of their inefficiency.

However, even though he was low in skill, he was able to use the formation to perfectly imitate the effect of the moonlight. This skill alone was enough to make him worthy of the title of Grandmaster.

Moreover, this is only the superficial knowledge of a layman like Zhang San. Gu Xuanyan, who has systematically studied the formation, can naturally see the more subtle parts.

Her fingers calculated the direction, and her eyes sparkled with reason.

Without even giving the man in the yard a chance to explain, Gu Xuanyan had already used the method of secret sound transmission.

“Without a doubt, this is the legendary Heaven-stealing and Sun-changing Formation, a top-level formation that can only be included in the collection of famous and upright sects with sufficient inheritance.

Whether it is the materials for setting up the formation or the research on the formation, these are not things that small sects can afford.

And to be honest with you, the last time I saw this formation was at the Luotian Grand Ceremony in Longhu Mountain!"

Three consecutive expressions of surprise did not scare Zhang San away. In fact, the explanation was very simple. If the opponent was really comparable to Longhu Mountain, then there would be no need to set up any formations. Wouldn't it be more convenient to just choose to massacre the city? "Is there anything special about this formation?"

Taizu once said that we should despise the enemy strategically and take the enemy seriously tactically. Having suffered from Wang Baobao's tactic of waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out, Zhang San was obviously much more cautious this time.

As if she had thought of some incredible record, Gu Xuanyan, who had been relatively calm, now had a tremor in her voice.

“Mastering it is equivalent to mastering a small world at your disposal. After setting up this formation, you can not only block the secrets of heaven, but also completely separate a small world of your choice from the big world.

The seasons, hexagrams and the generation and restraint of all things in the small world will be determined by the person who sets up the formation.

Legend has it that the immortal caves of the pre-Qin period were arranged using this formation, and the most popular one is the Peach Blossom Spring!"

Such means can indeed be called incredible, especially for a sorcerer with insufficient cultivation, encountering a stealing formation means death.

However, for a cultivator like Zhang San who focuses on life, this method is not enough.

Thinking of this, Zhang San couldn't help but let go of his worry, but after seeing Gu Xuanyan's dazed eyes, he couldn't help but ask.

"Why, is there anything else worth noting?"

Without waiting for Gu Xuanyan to say anything more, Zhang San looked in the direction of her gaze. It would have been better if he hadn't looked. After looking, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhang San's back.

The bright moon, the Milky Way, the stars, the shooting stars...

This world has almost everything that the outside world should have, but what is surprising is why there is only one place missing for Dou Su? Not to mention the master who arranged such a shocking formation, even a formation novice like Zhang San understands the status of "Dou Su" in Taoist culture.

Wudang Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation, Quanzhen Seven-Star Big Dipper Formation...

Familiar names flashed through my mind quickly, and when all doubts were eliminated, the answer was self-evident.

"So... it was intentional? But is this a special killing move, or is it simply aimed at Dou Su? If it is targeted, what could it be targeted at?"

Unconsciously, Zhang San seemed to have touched upon the vague answer.

If it is the former, then Zhang San might just be amazed, but if it is the latter, then the problem will be troublesome.

Taiping County of Zhenjiang Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of Douxiu. Even at the cost of the integrity of the formation, a star position must be left vacant.

Apart from Dou Su's astonishing resurrection method, Zhang San couldn't seem to think of anything else. But if that was the case, wouldn't it mean that their original character images had been leaked?

Dou Su's method of resurrection, Zhang San's magical power flaws, and the strange sorcerer who jumped out of Cuifeng Mountain.

"This group of people are really haunting!"
