Pawn Crossing the River

An abacus appeared in Qiniang's hand. It was made of jade. It was rectangular in shape and had straight columns running through it. It was commonly known as "the rack". There was a beam in the middle of the rack. There were two beads on the beam and five beads on the lower beam. Each abacus was crystal clear. The difference is that the two beads on the beam are black, while the five beads on the bottom are white. The whole abacus looks like an irregular and asymmetrical black and white Pisces.

This object has a great origin, it is a semi-immortal object. The upper twelve levels are the ten heavenly stems and the two levels of "yin and yang"; the lower twelve levels are the twelve earthly branches.

Each bead is engraved with complex star patterns, which are faintly bright, crystal clear and almost transparent, just like the stars in the sky.

At this time, under Qiniang's urging, the bead moved on its own, and in response to the power of the stars in the sky, stars appeared during the day, the sky turned into a starry sky, and a faint starlight fell from the nine heavens.

I saw that this starlight turned into dots of stars, scattered and arranged in the way of prophecy, like a chessboard of stars, giving birth to a twenty-eight constellation star map, forming a self-contained formation.

The stars are dotted.

In broad daylight, it actually outlines a vast starry sky that can only be seen at night.

The "stars" are constantly changing their positions, seemingly without rules, but wherever they go, the light fades, even the sound becomes silent, and the surrounding environment begins to transform into a starry sky.

A moment later, Qiniang and Wu Guangbi were already in a starry sky.

Wu Guangbi looked around. The stars around him were of distinct colors, only black and white, like chess pieces arranged on a chessboard. Various sounds seemed to come from the distant sky, becoming increasingly faint and inaudible, and the surrounding space became more and more inaudible. It feels more empty and ethereal, but otherwise it is pitch black, like a real starry sky.

"The 'Twenty-eight Sword Techniques of the South Dou' from the Grand Master's lineage." Wu Guangbi's eyes were venomous and he recognized it immediately. This is the unique skill of Taiping Dao, but after Xuansheng integrated the Taoism, everyone can learn it.

Wu Guangbi pondered for a moment, then reached forward with his left hand that was not holding the staff, and formed a giant hand to grab Qiniang's head. As soon as Qiniang was stabilized, he immediately attacked Qiniang and broke the formation. .

But what Wu Guangbi thought was a sure-fire grasp turned out to be a miss. Qiniang, who was in Tianyuan's position, was shattered inch by inch under the grasp, and turned out to be just a shadow.

Wu Guangbi knew immediately that he had been deceived, but it was too late.

Qiniang appeared in the distance, flicked the abacus, and the twenty-eight beads moved according to the heavenly stems and earthly branches.

The star map suddenly changed.

The seven constellations in the east, south, west, and north each turn into nine fields and nine heavens.

At the same time, the seven stars of Canglong in the east, White Tiger in the west, Suzaku in the south, and Xuanwu in the north all lit up at the same time.

For a moment, everything except the stars completely disappeared. Without seeing the sky or the ground, everything outside the formation is no longer perceptible. The whole world is only filled with countless black and white stars.

For a moment, Wu Guangbi couldn't distinguish between front, back, left, right, up and down. It was obviously moving forward, but as the stars around him turned, it turned into retreating. Even if he stopped, because the star array was constantly changing, he would still be moving if he didn't move.

Wu Guangbi directly grabbed the stars around him, but found that they could not be grasped at all. Wu Guangbi was startled at first, and then he understood. At this time, the formation has become one. He seems to be grabbing at one point, but in fact he is capturing the entire formation. This formation traps Wu Guangbi in it, just like Wu Guangbi is in the boat but wants to lift the boat, no matter how strong he is. , are absolutely impossible.

After thinking about this, Wu Guangbi immediately changed his strategy, stood on the spot and raised the Holy Emblem on his chest.

Endless light bursts out from the holy symbol.

It was even purer and stronger than the light attracted by Shi Luosi.

The stars in the sky suddenly shook and shook. Not only that, there was also a ray of light that passed through the vast star array and landed on Qiniang's head.

Qiniang's figure suddenly became distorted, and the surrounding stars were like rain, and they were in chaos.

Wu Guangbi shouted: "Master Yao, business cannot be done without justice. If you continue to act your own way, we will never see each other again."

Qiniang fiddled with her abacus casually and said: "Speaking of reputation, what kind of reputation does your 'Tianting' have? How many times have you paid the balance? When doing business with you, I won't dare to ship the goods without giving you a 90% deposit. The rest will be I don’t expect to get back the 10% balance, so I would say it’s better not to have any contact.”

Although Wu Guangbi's offensive was astonishing, most of the power was blocked by the formation and did not really hurt Qiniang, so Qiniang only seemed to be at a disadvantage.

As Qiniang fiddled with the beads, twenty-eight stars whirled and danced, hitting Wu Guangbi one after another. Wu Guangbi waved his wooden stick to scatter them, and the light trails flickered on and off, and the stars were annihilated and regenerated.

After Wu Guangbi waved his wooden stick to scatter a starlight directed at him, he sneered at Qiniang: "Do you think you can take this 'mysterious jade' away from under my nose?"

Qiniang smiled lightly: "I'm not here for any 'Xuanyu'."

Wu Guangbi obviously didn't believe it and just said: "Then what do you mean?"

Qiniang put away her abacus, took out her cigarette rod, and blew on it suddenly.

In an instant, countless amounts of mist spewed out from the smoke pot, covering the sky and the sun.

Wu Guangbi's pupils shrank. Even with his level of cultivation, he couldn't see through the billowing smoke.

Could it be that the person named Yao wanted to rob the "Xuan Jade" regardless of his identity?

But Wu Guangbi was not too worried.

Even if she gets the "Xuan Jade", she can't escape. This "Nandou Twenty-Eight Stars Formation" is indeed powerful, but it cannot move. Without this formation, Yao is no match for him.

As expected by Wu Guangbi, when the smoke cleared, Qi Niang had already got the "Xuanyu" in her hands.

Wu Guangbi shouted loudly, and all his cultivation burst out. The red bead on the top of the wooden stick in his hand shone brightly, and the red halo became larger and larger, as if a scorching sun was rising in the star array, illuminating the entire "Southern Dipper Twenty-Eight Stars Array". Countless stars fell in a moment, and under the red light, the original starry night scene quickly retreated, revealing the daytime scene again.

In this way, Qi Niang could not continue to reverse the direction and stop Wu Guangbi from moving forward.

"Give it to me!" Wu Guangbi approached Qi Niang and hit her head with the wooden stick in his hand.

Qi Niang raised the pipe in her hand and blocked the stick.

Wu Guangbi's eyes were gloomy, and he said coldly: "Let go!"

As if the words came true, the pipe in Qi Niang's hand almost slipped out of her hand, and her body retreated uncontrollably.

But then Qi Niang stopped retreating and waved the pipe, which was known as the "face blocking old man", at Wu Guangbi again.

Wu Guangbi moved sideways for several feet and blocked Qi Niang's pipe with the wooden stick in his hand.

Both of them were top figures in the martial arts world, but this fight was not as shocking as the fight between ordinary celestial beings. One of them used a wooden stick and the other used a pipe. You hit me and I hit you back. There was no exquisite tricks at all. If it were not for the previous star formation, it would be difficult for people to associate the two with celestial beings or pseudo-immortals.

However, every time Wu Guangbi waved the wooden stick, a tail mark would be left in the air, which did not dissipate for a long time. After the two fought for a while, these marks had been intertwined into a net, blocking all of Qi Niang's retreat.

Wu Guangbi shouted: "Master Yao, hand over the 'Xuanyu'!"

"Okay." Qi Niang was happy to accept it and threw it with her hand.

The "Xuanyu" was like a meteor, streaking through the sky with fierce force. Wherever it passed, Taoists and spiritual officials all avoided it. Those who could not avoid it were directly blown away by the external energy.

While trapping Qi Niang, Wu Guangbi was also restrained by Qi Niang. He could only watch the "Xuanyu" fly farther and farther, and then hit a young man's chest, sank into it, and disappeared.

Qi Niang smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, you broke the rules this time. We agreed in advance that no one would interfere in the affairs of Jinling Prefecture. You broke your promise and took the initiative, so don't blame me for reciprocating. I can give up the "Xuanyu", but you can't get it either."

Wu Guangbi was furious and wanted to attack the young man, but was blocked by Qi Niang with the "Ban Mian Sou".

Wu Guangbi glared at Qi Niang.

Qi Niang said, "Why, you still want to kill someone in public? Killing a Taoist priest in front of so many vice-hall masters and vice-house masters is a slap in the face of the Taoist sect. They can't pretend they didn't see it. Siming Zhenjun is an immortal, he is not afraid of the Taoist sect's revenge, but you are not, think it over." Wu Guangbi could only suppress his anger and said coldly, "Okay, very good, I have experienced the methods of Master Yao today.
