From Bianjing to Muzhou Qingxi, at least it is more than 800 kilometers. This is the modern high-speed distance that Lin Shuhang found on Baidu.

In this era, if you can't fly, relying on various winding paths and official roads, the distance is probably at least a thousand kilometers or more.

... Inconvenient transportation is indeed the biggest problem of this era, and it is impossible to fly. Fortunately, there is a magic amulet.

Time is of the essence, and people are speeding all the way. Although there are times when people on the road will be stunned, but in this era, there are no cameras and no network transmission. Occasionally, some ignorant villagers will watch it, but they just kneel down and face Lin Shuhang disappearing in fright. Fang Xiangmeng bowed, thinking that he had seen a living god, and then left some boring legends in the local area.

With such rapid speed, it took almost two days to arrive at Qingxi, Muzhou.

Qingxi County is not big, it is equivalent to the size of a small town in later generations. The main reason is that the forestry industry is developed, and the surrounding mountains are lush with stone materials. It is one of the main production areas of granite collected by the imperial court over the years.

It was already dark when Lin Shuhang arrived here, so it was not easy to inquire about Fang La, so he simply found an inn to rest for the night, but when he went in, it was already full, and the two other hotels he left were all the same.

In the end, the shop owner saw that Lin Shuhang was dressed in an extraordinary manner, but he didn't dare to be too negligent, and said with a smile, "It's not about money. Alright, now that there is no imperial court to confiscate, don’t merchants from all over the place flock here? In this season, if you don’t have a familiar inn to make an appointment with, you really can’t find a place to stay. If other guests drive out to make room for you, who will dare to come to your inn after that? Do you think this is the reason?"

Zaozuo Bureau is a department established by Tong Guanzhuan to please Song Huizong. It is dedicated to collecting all kinds of rare treasures, strange trees and stones in the world for Song Huizong. Later, it was taken over by Cai Jing and others, and gradually became Cai The party’s sharp weapon to plunder the world, in the name of the imperial court, it robs all kinds of places in the name of the court, and the looted things, on the contrary, the Cai party will keep [-]% or [-]% first, and only supply the remaining [-]% to [-]% to the palace. .

Therefore, as early as when Cai Dang and others were arrested before, this production bureau had been ordered to close down. When Zhao Heng supervised the country, he even directly issued a document to ban this department. Lin Shuhang obviously knew these things much better than the boss, but he didn't It is obviously a good sign to think that this move will directly stimulate the business economy of various places.

Just as I was thinking this way, the boss said again: "Guest officer, I feel that you are extraordinary in appearance and noble in temperament. I really wish to receive you more, but my inn is really out of land today. How about I give it to you?" Point out a clear path?"

I saw the boss come out of the door, pointing to a mountain road west of the end of the town and said: "There are two miles to go, and there is the largest lacquer garden in Qingxi County. Its owner, Fang La, has half a mountain of trees. Not only do you have a great business, but you also like to make friends. A person like you who is extraordinary at first glance, he must like it. You might as well pay a visit to his house. Not only will you have no worries about food and lodging, but you may also make a good friend. Why not do it?"

When Lin Shuhang heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

I thought it was too late to inquire about the news, but I didn't expect it to come without any effort.

Lin Shuhang didn't intend to make the matter of killing Fang La too complicated, but he was just a character in the world. Although he became famous later, and a group of capable people gathered around him, but now is not "later" after all. .

According to historical records, Fang La is just an ordinary martial artist in terms of strength, but his background is contaminated with Manichaeism, which is the later Ming religion, and with historical records, he does know some sorcery Yaofa is obviously not an ordinary person.

Frankly speaking, the origin of this lineage is not simple. Before that, Lu Xianzhi who was beside Tong Guan claimed to be an envoy of the Manichaeism, and was good at magic formations in the Western Regions. It depends on who you are comparing with. In front of me, Fang La is just a small appetizer.

Entering the village, killing people, pretending to be a vendetta, it's that simple.

Following the direction pointed out by the shop owner, Lin Shuhang walked towards the lacquer garden and walked west along the county's official road.

Different from the picturesque scenery in his imagination, after coming out of the county, the more he walked in this direction, the more Lin Shuhang could smell a 'ghost'.

Frankly speaking, in the era of the Song Dynasty, although it is difficult for demons to be born again, ghosts and other spiritual creatures can never be banned.

As long as someone dies, ghosts will be born, and the so-called ghosts are no longer mysterious in the eyes of Lin Shuhang who has gone to zero dimension, but they are just a kind of quantum energy dissociated from the body.

In the past, when the zero-dimensional and the real world still intersected, the energy between the heaven and the earth could be used for these ghosts to practice, and it could also allow them to maintain their existence for a long time. However, since the zero-dimensional closure, it is difficult for ghosts to survive in the human world for a long time up.

His own quantum energy cannot be replenished, and under the consumption of various photosynthesis, airflow, etc., the shortest period is three to five days, and the longest period is no more than half a year, so he has to finish playing with any natural ghosts.

But at this moment, the eerie aura on the official path lingered for a long time, and it was the first time Lin Shuhang saw it after he came to Song Dynasty.

a little weird...

He strolled forward, within two miles, and sure enough, he saw a manor standing in the night beside the road.

Looking around at this time, I saw that there was indeed a ghostly aura hovering over the manor, four directions and four poles, each guarded, it looked like a four-element array... Wait, that's not right.

Lin Shuhang narrowed his eyes slightly, not the four directions, but the five directions, because the 'fifth party' that should have been arranged outside was hidden in the eyes of the formation, so it looked like a four-element formation. Pentagram...

Sure enough, it is the way of the Manichaeism in the Western Regions, and even the formation method is very different from that of the Middle Earth.

After all, Lin Shuhang is someone who has studied the 'Basic Immortal-level Magic Formation', and the Immortal Realm has obviously studied and understood the Western Magic Formation during the long struggle with the Cambrians.

The magic formations from the west are much simpler than those in Middle-earth, because the Cambrians who are the instructors themselves are not as good at formations as the middle-earth immortals, and they left too early and taught too much. Whatever, the overall attainment is naturally not high.

But this so-called 'simple' and 'not high' are obviously not for beginners like Lin Shuhang, but they are just not as good as Nuwa's level.

There are currently seven major types of magic circles in the West, among which there are two types with the widest practical range, one is the 'six-pointed star array', which mainly refers to elemental magic circles such as wind, fire, thunder and lightning, and the other is the 'hexagram array'. Pentagram', mainly refers to the non-elemental magic circle.

Don't think that the so-called "pentagram" and "hexagram" have only one symbol. According to its size, shape, detail composition and even magic composition, a pentagram array can also be ever-changing and have different effects.

For example, Qiyuan, a pentagram array, is very famous.

If it is used as a symbol-like magic circle, it is a symbol representing the gate of the underworld, which is used for summoning; and if the pentagram itself with upward pointed angles represents life and health, it is used to pray for blessings However, if a circular circle is added to the periphery of the pentagram, it will immediately become a sealing circle; and if the five corners of the pentagram intersect with the prototype circle, it will be regarded as a magic circle. A complete closure becomes a magic circle that seals demons, and at the same time prevents demons from invading...

There are many other changes like this, but everything is inseparable from it.

These two types are the main body of Western arrays and are the most widely used, while other circular arrays such as protection, as well as the so-called combination, decomposition, symbol, and physical combination are all derived array products That's all.

It seems that there are very few, which are different from the tens of thousands of unique rune circles in the fairyland of Zhongtu, but in fact, the Dao is as simple as it is, and the Cambrians handed over the most essential things they understand to the West, so the power of these Western magic circles Not weak.

With this kind of cognition, when looking at the airflow and array arrangement over the lacquer garden from the perspective of the mountain, I quickly figured out the way.

The long wall on the outside is its 'circular array', and the interior is built with buildings to form a pentagram array, but it is not an orthodox pentagram with the sharp corners upward, but the first one The acute angle is hidden in the center of the formation.

This... is obviously a summoning circle, a summoning circle that opens the gates of hell!
The sharp angle hidden in the center of the formation is the passage to hell, but it is probably because the aura in this world is so thin that this passage is not fully opened, and big things cannot come out, but small monsters and monsters may But it can occasionally slip through the net.

In addition, this summoning circle also has the biggest function, that is, the seal. The gate of hell connected to it is two-way, but because it is opened from the real dimension, the inward suction is actually stronger than the outward one. The pulling force is even greater. If an intruder dares to enter it, the person who controls the formation only needs to reverse the formation in an instant, and use the law of dimensionality to forcibly drag the intruder into the gate of hell.

This kind of dimensional power belongs to the law. If it is placed in the field of vision of the fairy world, even the gods will shy away. I am afraid that only the golden fairy realm can compete with it, and I am just a small earth fairy...

Lin Shuhang frowned.

I didn't expect this, it was actually a bit tricky.

There are no ways, for example, on the recommendation of the shop owner, visit Fang La as a businessman, live in the manor first and then look for an opportunity to attack, as long as the distance is close enough, as long as the other party really only has the strength of an ordinary martial saint, then Lin Shuhang is completely He is sure to kill Fang La in an instant, and does not give the opponent a chance to reverse the formation.

But after all, this kind of thing is a bit risky if you are in a dangerous place first. Even if you don't mention the one-time customs clearance reward, this trip to the Song Dynasty is too long, and Lin Shuhang doesn't want to go out and start it again.

Secondly, he can also destroy the opponent's formation first, for example, find a large number of officers and soldiers to push his wall, making the formation fail.

But what is the difference between this and directly mobilizing a large force to destroy Fang La?
It is said that good things do not go out and evil things travel thousands of miles, so what will be left will only be complaints from the people to the court, and even the fear and hatred of the court by the people in the rivers and lakes, which is not conducive to their next real big move against gold.

Then there is only one way left.

Using the most violent method, before Fang La could react, directly breaking through the wall with the power of Ming Hong Dao, even if it only had time to break through a few gaps, the power of the magic circle of the gate of hell would be greatly reduced, even It will fail directly, and then kill Fang La by force.

It's just... At least you have to get to know Fang La before you do this, otherwise you will startle the snake. I am not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately. It is impossible to directly slaughter thousands of people in this manor. If Fang La takes advantage of the chaos To escape, with Fang La's vigilance and methods shown in history, it would be extremely difficult to find him before he rebelled.

Let's live in Qingxi County for a few days now...

Before he finished his thoughts, Lin Shuhang's heart suddenly moved slightly, but he felt that there was an extra person behind him in an instant.

With the keenness of my five senses, the comer was able to quietly get behind him. This strength is really extraordinary, and at the same time, there is an invisible murderous aura faintly rising behind him.

This murderous intent was hidden too deep, the opponent obviously belonged to the type that was quite good at hiding his own intentions, but for Lin Shuhang's keen perception, even if the murderous intent was only for a moment, he could accurately capture it.

Tong Guan?

The other party didn't launch an attack immediately, obviously knowing that he had spotted him, and the sneak attack was useless.

I only heard the man behind him say calmly: "News there is a Lin Taibao in Bianjing, after the real person Lin of Longhu Mountain, I still think that someone is swindling and defrauding in the name of Immortal Venerable, but I don't expect a person today See, it really lives up to its reputation.”

This voice is unusually young, obviously not Tongguan.

Lin Shuhang turned around slowly, only to see a Taoist in a yellow Taoist robe standing about six or seven meters behind him.

This Taoist indeed looks quite young, but at the age of 27 or [-], he has his hands on his shoulders and a hanging seven-star sword on his back. A school of guru demeanor.

With such a magnanimity, among the characters Lin Shuhang has met in the past dynasties, I am afraid that only a few people such as the Dugu Sword Master back then can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

Looking at this style, looking at his appearance and clothes at this age, Lin Shuhang thought of someone.

"Master Zhang of Longhu Mountain?"

The Taoist smiled faintly, and cupped his hands at Lin Shuhang: "Fellow Daoist, be polite."

Nan Luo Bei Zhang, this person is actually one of the two great masters of Taoism recognized in the world today, Zhang Fengling Zhang Zhenren of Longhu Mountain.

Lin Shuhang still remembered that Tong Guan once said that he had met 'Zhang and Luo', and thought that they were far inferior to him, but after seeing them in person now, he realized that Tong Guan was just a vulgar man with inexperience. Just look at it with the eyes of ordinary people.

Just like the killing intent that was hidden by him just now, and how he approached so close to him without a sound, this real Zhang is obviously very good at concealment.

If you put aside his reputation and aura, his body refining seems to be only in the ordinary blood-moving state, and his qi refining seems to be in the ordinary purple mansion state, but this is all because of the Taoist robe on him, then The aura on the Taoist robe is restrained, obviously a magic weapon to restrain oneself.

After all, in this era, whether it is Tong Guan who uses martial arts to break the way, or an immortal who has really broken through to the realm of the earth fairy, he will face the same problem, that is, the consumption of life essence. The degree of sealing can effectively reduce the consumption of one's own life essence.

And this person's real strength is probably far better than his appearance shows, and he can probably be on the same level as Tong Guan who is full of firepower.
