The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

The bamboo forest is like the sea, swaying like waves in the mountain breeze.

A winding path extends deep into the bamboo forest, with no end in sight.

The outermost green bamboo actually sparkled in the sunlight, like emeralds, emitting vitality. But the depths of the bamboo forest were dark, with insufficient light. Not only was there no trace of fairyland atmosphere, but there was a sense of eerie and strangeness!

Chili whispered, "Miss, the bamboo forest ahead looks a little scary!"

Yuan Zishan tapped Lajiao's head lightly and scolded her with a smile, "You've always been very brave, why are you suddenly so cowardly today? What did you see that made you yell that it was scary? It's broad daylight, and you're still afraid of ghosts!"

La Jiao pointed at Feng Jiuxiao with a look of grievance on her face and said, "It was the young master who said there was something strange inside..." If Feng Jiuxiao hadn't shouted that there was something strange in front, she would not have taken it seriously!
Yuan Zishan rolled her eyes at Feng Jiuxiao and said calmly, "He just said that this bamboo forest might be a formation and asked everyone to be careful. He didn't say that you can't cross this bamboo forest. What are you afraid of?"

Chili's eyes widened as she warned him, "Miss, don't underestimate these formations. I heard that during the Three Kingdoms period, the Prime Minister of Shu, Zhuge Wuhou, was very powerful and was best at arranging troops. I heard that he also created a famous Eight Formations Diagram, which tricked Sima Yi badly!"

The Biography of Zhuge Liang in The Records of Shu in the Three Kingdoms records: "Liang was good at ingenuity. His inventions of the crossbow and wooden ox and flowing horse were all his own ideas. He also deduced the art of war and drew the Eight Diagrams, all of which captured the essence of the art.

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Yes, La Jiao has made a lot of progress recently. He even knows Sima Yi!"

Yuan Zishan scolded, "What are you talking about? La Jiao has been very smart since she was young. She knew Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang when she was only three years old! You make it sound like she was a fool because she didn't know anything before! She didn't just know it now!"

Feng Jiuxiao immediately admitted his mistake: "Haha, Chili has always been great, there is something wrong with my expression, I will pay attention next time!"

Yuan Zishan said expressionlessly, "You're smart. Since you said there might be a hidden formation in this bamboo forest, then you lead the charge and break the formation."

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "No problem." He originally wanted to walk in front and lead the way, but he would never say the five words "That's exactly what I meant." Once he said it, wouldn't he be publicly refusing Yuan Zishan's "foresight"?
Pang Shiwu said, "Brother, what do you think the bamboo forest array can do? Wouldn't people get lost after entering it? I chopped all the bamboos along the way, and all of them were chopped down. What good is it?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Yes, this kind of formation will mostly make people lose their way and be trapped inside, unable to get out, until they die! If the party setting up the formation shoots arrows and firearms outside the formation, it is normal for the invaders to be wiped out!"

Big Wolf said, "From what you said, it seems like this formation is very powerful. I don't quite understand it. Isn't it just some broken bamboo?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Bamboo itself is of course not powerful, but it will become powerful when many elements are integrated into it. Brother Big, do you know what a formation is?"

Big Wolf shook his head, "You say!"

"The formation can be divided into two meanings, namely, the formation and the formation."

"Okay, I understand. Continue."

"The most basic thing about formations is the formation. When two armies clash, they line up their troops, and the formation they arrange is the formation!"

"I know this. When attacking Southern Han, the Song army deployed goose-shaped formations, cone-shaped formations, and square-shaped formations. Is this what you mean?"

"Yes. The formation is not arranged randomly. It must be combined with the weather, terrain, and people. It should be adapted to the time, the terrain, and the people. How to arrange the formation on a sunny day, how to arrange the formation on a rainy day, how to arrange the formation in a hilly area, how to arrange the formation in a plain area, how to arrange the formation when the enemy has more people, how to arrange the formation when the enemy has fewer people, how to arrange the formation when the enemy is mainly cavalry, how to arrange the formation when the enemy is mainly infantry, there is no fixed way."

"Yeah, I see. I understand the living people forming a formation, but what kind of threat can these dead things pose just by standing there? Hidden arrows? Firearms? Horse traps? How will they affect me?" Biggoff said with disdain, "Perhaps this bamboo forest has a certain deterrent effect on ordinary people, but I don't think it can have any blocking effect on us."

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Brother Wolf, you take the lead this time!" Then he stretched out his right hand forward as a gesture of "please"!
Big Wolf didn't take it seriously, and walked towards the bamboo forest with a swagger, "Well, I don't believe there's anything special about this piece of bamboo!" He strode on the narrow path paved with bluestone, and followed Feng Jiuxiao's usual behavior, with his hands behind his back, walking forward leisurely. In order to prove that this bamboo forest was useless, he deliberately stretched every step he took, as if deliberately waiting for something unexpected to happen in the bamboo forest.

Feng Jiuxiao laughed and said, "Although he is very powerful, he may not be able to get through safely!"

Liu Miezhou's face was grim. "Why don't I shoot a few arrows to clear a path? Wouldn't that be great?"

Using the magic arrows to clear a path, even if the bamboo forest ahead was a solid wall, it would probably be razed to the ground.

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Don't worry about this moment, let Brother Wolf feel the breadth and depth of Chinese civilization. In addition, using arrows to clear the way is a waste of talent!"

Liu Miezhou could naturally hear the hidden meaning in Feng Jiuxiao's words.

Using arrows to clear the way is beneath your status as Liu Mie Zhou!
Is it worth using the magic bow for such a small bamboo forest?
Liu destroyed Zhou Moran.

He also knew that he had been getting confused recently, but it was a pity that he couldn't get over it.

Fortunately, Feng Jiuxiao had been reminding him, otherwise he would be so angry that he might have taken his anger out on others and accidentally killed someone! For Liu Miezhou, it was easy to kill a peak Ninth Realm expert, let alone others?
He has calmed down now.

Big Wolf is full of confidence!

It's just a broken bamboo forest. Even if there are a thousand strong bows hidden in it, what does it matter? I have a body of iron and steel, and I am invulnerable to swords and spears. What can a torrential rain of arrows do to me?

Firearms are useless!
It's even more useless to dig a horse trap. Even if you fall into a trap ten feet deep, what can you do? You can still jump out easily, right?
After walking five meters into the bamboo forest, he suddenly found that the path in front began to turn right. He deliberately carved a claw-shaped mark on the ground with his feet as a mark. This is called being prepared. Although he acted fearless in front of Feng Jiuxiao, he knew that Feng Jiuxiao would not easily express his opinions. Once he expressed an opinion, it was very important. Since he said that this bamboo forest was strange, there must be something strange. But he clearly saw the word "indifferent" in Feng Jiuxiao's eyes. In other words, although Feng Jiuxiao said that this bamboo forest was a formation, it was definitely not something amazing.

I can take this opportunity to experience the Eastern formation.

He was now curious about everything in the East. With his current knowledge, he felt that this team with Feng Jiuxiao as the core was definitely capable of competing with the Hauge family! The elites of the Hauge family were extremely fast, but they seemed to be no faster than the arrows of Feng Jiuxiao and Liu Miezhou! No matter how strong their bodies were, they could not resist the arrows dipped in holy water! After walking another five meters, the path began to turn left. This meant that he was back to the direction of going straight ahead, because he had just turned right, and the angles of the two turns were basically the same. Of course, he made a mark at the turning point.

After walking a few more feet, they looked back and could no longer see Feng Jiuxiao and the others behind the bamboo forest as the bamboo grew very densely.

Big Wolf said loudly: "Master Feng, there is nothing wrong with this bamboo forest. I have walked sixty feet and nothing happened!"

He thought Feng Jiuxiao would reply, but there was no sound for a long while.

Big Wolf was a little puzzled. With Feng Jiuxiao's personality, he would definitely not be so "rude". He would at least say "hmm" to show respect.

Big Wolf shouted again: "Brother Mie Zhou, can you hear me?" He deliberately raised his voice this time, but still no response. Then he realized something was wrong. He was wondering what was going on, but suddenly his expression froze and he stood there motionless.

There was a claw mark about ten feet in front of him.

He was quite sure that the paw print mark was made by himself.

No one can imitate it.

For a moment, Big Wolf's mind went blank!
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
He kept walking forward, first turning right, then left. The angles of his turns were very small, and according to mathematics, they were all acute angles, so he definitely couldn't turn back. But reality hit him hard! He couldn't figure out how he ended up back at the starting point.

There were bamboos all around, and it seemed the same as the first time he passed by. He frowned, turned around and walked back the way he came. He wanted to go back the same way.

As I walked, the wolf paw print appeared in front of me again.

In an instant, Big Wolf felt a chill running down his spine, so cold that it chilled him to the bone, and he couldn't help but shiver!
His eyes flickered, and he muttered to himself, "It's all an illusion! It's all an illusion!"

Outside the bamboo forest, Liu Miezhou frowned, "Brother Wolf, why are you wandering around there?"

Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "He has already fallen!"

Pang Shiwu asked, "What? Brother Wolf was tricked?" Zeng Yi said, "It looks like he has lost his way."

Pang Shiwu asked, "Is this the legendary ghost retaining wall?"

Zeng Yi said: "Yes! This bamboo formation is indeed weird. I just saw Brother Wolf seemed to be shouting something, but I couldn't hear anything!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "The first time he called me, the second time he called Brother Mie Zhou." Although the sound could not be heard, Feng Jiuxiao could see Big Wolf's mouth shape clearly.

Erni asked, "Is this bamboo formation so weird? What's said inside can't be heard?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "The person who set up the formation is indeed powerful. It seems that there are special magic tools in the bamboo formation."

Chili said: "What should we do then?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "It's okay."

Erni suddenly pointed forward, "Oh my, Big Wolf has transformed!"

Big Wolf did transform.

A wolf's head and a human body.

But his height was less than ten feet, almost the same as his usual height.

Liu Miezhou narrowed his eyes, "I didn't expect this bamboo formation to be so powerful! Although Brother Wolf has transformed, the illusion has caused him to inadvertently lower his height. In his own subconscious, these bamboo forests are still taller than him."

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Yes, in his perception, his body suddenly grew by three feet, but the bamboos also suddenly grew by three feet at the same time, so he still couldn't rise above the bamboo sea and see through the cage from a high vantage point!"

Pang Shiwu put his hand on the hilt of the sword and said, "Brother, what are you waiting for? Let him pass out from exhaustion?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "What are you talking about? No matter how powerful the bamboo formation is, it is still made of bamboo!"

Liu Miezhou said: "He only needs to use brute force to defeat ten skills!"

Pang Shiwu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted to the bamboo forest: "Brother Wolf, sweep through the enemy with your eyes closed!"

Big Wolf suddenly heard Pang Shiwu's voice from the sky, and immediately he had a clue in his mind, and shouted: "That's what I meant!" He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, "Sweeping thousands of troops, right? I've been learning this move for a long time!" When the mind is calm, the whole world is quiet. His body began to grow unconsciously, getting taller and stronger, until it reached three feet tall, and then stopped. This was the decision of his heart. For Big Wolf, everything was instinctive, and he didn't know that he had only just succeeded in his transformation. He had been thinking that he had grown ten feet taller, but the bamboo grew ten feet taller, and he grew two feet taller, and the bamboo grew two feet taller. So after three feet, he gave up. He decided to try to attack the bamboo directly to see if these bamboos were transformed by elves. As soon as he attacked, they would run away, and as soon as he stopped, they would come back again.

Now Pang Shiwu's reminder further strengthened his confidence.

He closed his eyes and prepared to take three steps forward based on his memory.

This way he can use his arms to smash thirteen bamboos in one "sweeping" move!

Unexpectedly, he kicked a few bamboos as he took a step forward. He was stunned for a moment and instinctively opened his eyes, and was stunned for a moment!
The bamboo forest in front of me is still like the sea, but I no longer have to look up to see the height, but at eye level!

The height of the bamboos in the entire bamboo sea is basically the same as my height, and some are taller than me.

He understood instantly that he had both broken the formation and not broken it. To say that he had successfully broken the formation was that he had finally escaped from the prison of illusion and could see the entire bamboo formation from his own perspective. To say that he had not completely broken the formation was because he was still inside the formation.

Isn't that hard to say? Big Wolf punched out with his left fist, knocking down a large group of people! With his right claw, he pulled out a large group of people! With the momentum of a madman, he destroyed a large area of ​​bamboo forest in no time!
Once a corner of the bamboo forest is torn apart, the entire formation will collapse instantly!

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Let's go!" and walked towards the bamboo forest first, his white clothes as white as snow, his sleeves fluttering.

The rest of the people followed closely behind, with Liu destroying Zhou to cover the rear.

Once the bamboo forest formation was broken, countless birds were startled and flew towards the main peak.

On the Denglong Peak, disciples from the eight peaks arrived one after another.

"The bamboo sea formation has been broken!"

"What? So fast?"

"This journey is simply overwhelming!"

"What are you guys talking about? Isn't this just boosting others' morale and destroying your own prestige?"

"Mr. Tong, stop talking nonsense! Only by seeking truth from facts and knowing ourselves and the enemy can we come up with the right response strategy! Otherwise, if we just flatter each other, you praise me and I praise you, then when the enemy attacks us, will we all be dumbfounded?"

Suddenly a hoarse voice broke the chaos, "Okay, since all the brothers and sisters are here, it means that everyone understands the righteousness and no one is vague at the critical moment! Thank you all here!" After all, Lu Zuting is the head of the sect, and he still has his prestige.

The quarrels have stopped for the time being, but those who hold different opinions still want to express their different opinions. You can choose not to argue with others, but you can only argue with your leader!

Ye Bufan, the leader of Songluan Peak, was the first to speak: "Master! You summoned us, and we are here, but you have to tell us clearly who is coming? What are they doing here? If someone from Denglong Peak has offended them, I suggest that they be handed over directly to avoid implicating us in Shushan!"

Sect Leader Lu narrowed his eyes into a line, and a cold light flashed across them.

"Haha, Junior Brother Ye has always been quick-witted and outspoken, and his demeanor remains the same as before."

"Hmph! If you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush. The enemy has already passed through the bamboo sea and will soon enter your Sword Master Hall. I'm going to be frank with you. If you are the one who caused the trouble at Denglong Peak, we at Songluan Peak will not take the blame for it!"

Lu Zuting remained calm, "Same blood, same branches, this is how same blood works, it's really chilling!"

Gu Yuting, the head of Chaoyun Peak, said in a gloomy tone, "Master, we have already made it clear in advance. In recent years, Shushan has been working hard and keeping a low profile. We have not participated in the disputes in the martial arts world. We have been pretending to be grandsons for many years and don't care about this moment. As a result, Wang Sheng met a witch and ruined his life. He actually wandered around the world with that Xiong Mengyan, doing whatever he wanted, and caused huge trouble in the martial arts world. The edge that Shushan had hidden with great difficulty was exposed to the martial arts world. Now, there are so many people who run to Shushan to seek revenge on Wang Sheng. How can we keep a low profile? Many ancestors will come out of retreat soon. We must not cause any trouble before they come out!"

Ye Bufan said, "That's right! Wang Sheng has been expelled from the sect, and there are almost no people looking for him recently. But Denglong Peak has always had a tradition of causing trouble. I hope that the head brother will investigate as soon as possible and hand over the culprit, so as not to disrupt Shushan's plan to move forward!"

Lu Zuting suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "I invited you here to fight the enemy together, not to listen to you accusing me! I am the leader, you should follow my orders, not pretend to obey or even openly disobey my orders!"

Ye Bufan sneered and said: "If his conduct is upright, he will act without being told; if his conduct is not upright, he will not act despite being told!"

Sect Leader Lu said with a smile, "Okay, since I am not upright and you don't listen to my orders, I will give up the position of Sect Leader now. Whoever can unite everyone to fight the enemy, I, Lu, will be the first to respect him as the new Sect Leader! Who will take over?" He looked at Ye Bufan, "Junior Brother Ye, you will take over?"

Ye Bufan was stunned.

He didn't expect that Lu Zuting would give up the position of headmaster so openly!
He wanted to answer it, but countless wolf-like eyes were staring at him. At that moment, he suddenly realized how sinister Lv Zuting was! (End of this chapter)
