Chapter 14: Hu Bu Village Bagua Formation (虎步村八卦阵)

The reason why the Feng family was able to become one of the six great sects was precisely because of their celestial master heritage. The celestial masters were only passed down to the Feng family, but a celestial master could take in dozens and dozens of disciples, and the magnitude of their family background accumulated over the years was unimaginable to ordinary people.

Feng Li is the youngest and strongest Heavenly Master in the past years.

The original body is the disciple of the previous Heavenly Master's registered disciple, according to the reason, he is one generation lower than Feng Li, so he should take the initiative to go to say hello to Feng Li. However, the original body is just a small person among the many disciples of Feng Li, Jiang Luo does not think that Feng Li will remember him, and adhering to the principle that it is better to do more than less, he is also too lazy to go.

Seeing Feng Li's figure disappearing downstairs, Jiang Luo withdrew his eyes without a ripple, "Let's go, don't you want to eat the local rice noodles?"

The two of them went out and found a more famous restaurant and ordered a bowl of rice noodles. The bowl of rice noodles was bigger than Jiang Luo's face, with all the ingredients put together. He rolled up his sleeves, and Lu Youyi and I both finished a whole bowl of rice noodles.

After a month of eating in the school cafeteria, Jiang Luo finally understands why Ye Xun and Lu Youyi were so moved to tears over hot and sour shredded potatoes.

After they finished their meal, they bought another flower cake to take back to their companions.

Jiang Luo and Lu Youyi entered the hotel through a small door and saw a group of students standing in the lobby without saying a word, all as nervous as if they were meeting a teacher.

A cold voice came from the innermost part of the crowd, "Which school student from Minnan built this Fox Fairy Offering Stage? Remove it."

Lu Youyi whispered, "There is a custom in Southern Fujian to offer the Fox Fairy."

A student stepped forward with a red face, "Mr. Feng, I made this offering. But I made a separate offering in my own room, so why should I remove it?"

"You broke the rules," Feng Li faded, "If you know how to make offerings to the Fox Fairy, why don't you see if this is the right place to do so."

Feng Li's tone was not harsh, but it made people tense up their skin, not daring to meet his eyes.

Jiang Luo and Lu Youyi watch from behind the crowd, while Feng Li and the other judges seem to be inspecting the students' rooms one by one. The students are terrified that they will be found out what's wrong with them.

Lu Youyi pokes Jiang Luo: "You didn't bring anything illegal, did you?"

Jiang Luo: "Penniless, nothing."

Lu Youyi said with relief, "I didn't bring anything with me either, if I want a talisman I'll look for you to buy it, if I want to refine a weapon I'll look for Kuang Zheng... we're both penniless, it's safe."

Jiang Luo ："...... "那你这个一二白和我可不大不同。

The two of them figured that the judges were about to check their floor, so they took the lead and went back to their room. Jiang Luo went to deliver flower cakes to Ye Xun and when he came back, Lu Youyi was sitting on the sofa watching TV and told him, "They've finished checking."

Jiang Luo was slightly surprised, "So soon?"

Lu Youyi nodded and waved the paper in his hand, "The notice of the match came down as well."

There were three levels in the whole competition, and the first level of the competition started three days later, which consisted of breaking formations, in a place called Tiger Steps Village1.

The paper has a photo of the exterior of Hu Bu village and a few words of introduction. Tiger Steps Village is a gossip village, houses and roads in the village are arranged in a nine palace gossip array, easy to get in and hard to get out, outsiders go in as if into a maze, often get lost.

The first level is just the basics, assessing the basic knowledge and skills of the participants, and the entry requirements state that participants may not carry any tools other than a compass.

Jiang Luo looked at the thick pile of talismans in his bag and fell into silence.

He always felt less safe if he couldn't bring a talisman.

It's not that Tiger Steps Village isn't safe, it's that evil spirit that's hiding somewhere that isn't safe.

A month ago, Jiang Luo said that he would torture Chi You for a whole night, so he really tortured Chi You for a whole night with the talisman.

Chi You is getting weaker and weaker, the mist turns from thick to light, the talisman that burned on his body falls on the ground and accumulates a thick layer of paper dust, but his laughter is getting more and more crazy and distorted.

"Interesting." Chi You laughed before disappearing.

Chi You never showed up in this whole month, he should have been hurt by Jiang Luo. Jiang Luo could already imagine how crazy and unscrupulous that madman would be when he recovered, and how cruel he would be to get back at him.

Is Jiang Luo afraid?

The natural answer is no.

Every night before he went to sleep during this month of desperate study, he had thought of the eighteen times he had been killed by Chi You.

Jiang Luo The resentment and anger in his heart is high, eighteen times, he has not yet paid it off.

Chi You is so kind and gentle, how can Jiang Luo take advantage of him?

*

Three days later, Jiang Luo boarded a bus to Hubu Village.

Tiger Steps Village was forty kilometers away from the city, and the bus drove for two to three hours to reach the destination. Jiang Luo and more than twenty unknown participants followed the staff to the entrance, and the staff said, "The length of this competition is twenty-four hours in total, and participants need to go to the eye of the formation to find the small flags that we left behind, and walk out of Tiger Steps Village with the small flags. Participants who fail to walk out of Tiger Steps Village within 24 hours will be directly eliminated."

Jiang Luo looked at the time, it would be three o'clock in the afternoon.

There were a total of eight entrances into Tiger Steps Village, and although there were as many as one hundred and eighty participants, the internal layout of Tiger Steps Village was connected vertically and horizontally, so after walking into the village, I was afraid that none of the one hundred and eighty people would meet anyone, and they could only leave Tiger Steps Village on their own.

The staff member said, "Just a reminder that this entire tournament will be streamed live on our intranet site."

Live?

Jiang Luo was thoughtful.

If there was a live stream, it would in turn guarantee his safety to some extent.

After announcing the start of the match, the participants rushed inside the Tiger Steps Village with impatience.

Jiang Luo quietly followed the crowd.

Everyone took out their compasses, and in no time at all, there were only three or two people left. Jiang Luo also followed the trend and took out his compass, but instead of looking at where it was pointing, he looked up at the sky.

The so-called Taiji born two meters, two meters born four elephants, four elephants born gossip, gossip and sixty-four hexagrams, this change, the cycle begins again ②. The eye of the array, is the core of the gossip array, it is reasonable to say that as long as the center on the good, but in which the village of HuBu when the road is complex and changing, seems to pass is broken, not only to go to the center, there may be more and more go farther and farther away.

Jiang Luo raised his eyes, without the aid of a compass, he saw the center of the eight trigrams array of golden light, comparable to the brightest signposts.

But no one seemed to see this golden light at the eye of the formation except him.

Jiang Luo followed the golden light, although he couldn't use the compass, he didn't put it away either. It felt like he had turned on a cheat, the answer was right in front of his eyes waiting to be picked, Jiang Luo's goal was clear, and after turning left and right an unknown number of times, he was gradually left with only himself on his side.

Someone on the site that was watching the live stream gradually noticed his weirdness.

"This guy's a little weird.

He doesn't seem to have used the compass much? Damn, from the aerial viewpoint he seems to be faster than Qi Ye!

What? You're exaggerating upstairs.

"Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

[I'm gonna lick the screen right off the screen! I declare that I'm living in this room!

[Help, who is he? Look at him. Cry, cry, cry.]

We are a serious site, the above convergence point. The more he looks, the more wrong ah, really did not really how to look at the compass! The best of the best are really in the people.

[If you don't understand, ask. How can you get out of the Bagua Formation without looking at the compass?]

In the jury room, several jury members also noticed Jiang Luo.

Feng Li scanned through the many shots in a single glance, finally settling on the shot of the dark-haired young man.

The black-haired youth walked calmly between the paths, his heart was very stable, from time to time he glanced at the air, if the paths were impassable, then he retreated back to his original position, his sense of direction had actually not been shifted, and he was slowly approaching the eye of the formation.

Zhuo Zhengyu, the head of the Zhuo Clan beside Feng Li, saw the way, and he whispered to Feng Li, "This young man is remarkable."

He then looked at his own daughter, Zhuo Zhongqiu's speed is not slow, but when the two methods of searching for formation eyes are compared, his daughter was immediately left behind by a few streets.

Feng Li responded, calmly saying, "Nice talent."

"Zhongqiu and I have spoken of this boy," Zhuo Zhengyu said, "and he is still a disciple of your Feng family."

Feng Li raised an eyebrow in slight surprise before revealing a thin smile, "So he is a disciple of the Feng Clan."

When Jiang Luo finished one third of the journey, the time had already reached six o'clock in the afternoon, and he planned to find a place to rest and have dinner.

There happened to be a humble kiosk nearby, Jiang Luo put his things down and took out a box of hot pot from his bag, and when the hot pot was almost ready, a boy came outside.

The boy was angular and unruly, with a look of annoyance visible to the naked eye. He was holding a compass in his hand and froze when he saw Jiang Luo, then frowned, as if he couldn't believe that someone could have gotten here before him.

"Who are you?" The boy asked in a bad tone.

Jiang Luo glanced sideways at him, not bothering to speak, the ends of his eyes closing back.

[Ah ah ah ah beautiful brother you electrocute me!]

[Eating watermelon with a bench, fighting fighting fighting]

"Damn, they met, Qi Ye, this temper is over, this is over, this is definitely a fight.

Qi Ye was given such a light look, the annoyance in his heart was like pouring a handful of oil, almost exploding. He suppressed his temper, "Hey, I'm asking you."

The fire of the self-heating pot slowly stops, Jiang Luo breaks his chopsticks and lifts the lid to get ready to eat.

The scent of the food was carried into Qi Ye's nose by the wind, and before Qi Ye's tantrums could be released, his stomach rumbled in disgrace.

His face stiffened, obviously a bit unable to hang on, and he stood still without saying anything to himself in a sullen manner.

Jiang Luo treated him as if he didn't exist, comfortably finishing his meal and finally organizing the garbage so as not to pollute the environment of the place.

After the meal, the sun had already set. Jiang Luo looked up at the sky and decided to spend the night in the pavilion and wait for tomorrow morning before setting off again.

Otherwise, if Jiang Luo can't see the golden light when it gets dark, his hard work this day will be in vain.

Unexpectedly, the boy who seemed to be very short-tempered also entered the gazebo, looking like he had the same intention as Jiang Luo.

The two men did their own thing and made peace, much to the dismay of the pop-ups who wanted to see what was going on, but out of the pop-ups, a striking comment popped up.

[My God ...... you guys look at Beauty Brother's shadow, is there something moving inside]

In the live broadcast, Jiang Luo's shadow, hitting the ground diagonally, was twisting subtly and slowly.

As if there were some horrible monster hiding in it, the shadows at the edge had hideous ghostly claws that seemed to close in, slowly approaching Jiang Luo's toes placed on the ground.

Jiang Luo knows nothing about it and is carefully looking at a book detailing the compass.
