Chapter 18 Formation

In the past, Tang Jie used to deploy small formations, he could just find a place to position first, and then arrange the rest according to the principles of the formation, but this time he is going to deploy a super large formation, and everything is no longer so simple.

The size of the formation itself has nothing to do with the grade, it only involves the effective range.

But that being said, in fact, the larger the formation, the higher the requirements for the ability of the lane. This is like the difference between a bungalow and a skyscraper. When the quantity rises to a certain level, the quantitative change will lead to a qualitative change, and its complexity is far beyond that of ordinary small formations.

The positioning of the eight gates alone involves tens of miles around Laoyaling, that is to say, the distance between the eight gates may be as long as several miles. Such a long distance will inevitably affect the accuracy, which will affect the power, and may even fail to form an array.

Tang Jie's visit to Laoya Ridge this time was by no means purely for the Fire Crow Spirit as he said, but with a greater purpose, which even required him to use the large formation that covered the entire Laoya Ridge for dozens of miles.

Even for Tang Jie, it was the first time for such a large formation.

For this reason, Tang Jie had to draw a map first, and then repeatedly simulated on the map, not only to measure accurately, but also to observe the terrain to see if it was suitable for use.

In addition to the difficulty in positioning, the large-scale array also has the problem of huge material consumption.

The larger the range, the more materials will be consumed. With such a large-scale formation, even using the most common materials can bankrupt Tang Jie.

Naturally, Tang Jie couldn't afford this much money, but fortunately, he studied under Xu Muyang, and he paid attention to the way of nature. The way of formation blends with nature and acts with the power of heaven and earth, so there is still a trick. But in this way, the terrain requirements are high.

For example, if he wants to set up an extremely fiery prison formation, the gate of death needs the main fire. If you want the dead gate to be the main fire, you can't spread it in a place with mountain springs. Not only that, but you also need to block the water source through Dumen's transformation. And the best way to keep the gate of death away from the water is to stand at the bottom of the west slope of the mountain. However, the gate of opening and the gate of death echo each other. If the gate of death is built here, the gate of opening must be on the slope.

Looking at its position, it is on the Xiangji Cave.

Naturally, Tang Jie didn't think that he could spread the formation at the door of the phantom fox's house without being noticed, so he had to give up the extremely fiery prison formation and try other formations.

It's just that he can change the formation as he wants, but he can't get around the threshold of Xiangji Cave.

It was like a wedge, firmly anchored on Laoya Ridge, making it impossible for Tang Jie to implement all his ideas, and Tang Jie was so angry that he had to curse: "Damn, it actually took over the land, no wonder there are so many It hasn't been a year since a formation master came to clean it up!"

The formation has extremely high requirements on the terrain, so the terrain has a very detailed classification and description.

In the "True Explanation of Formation" given to Tang Jie by Xu Muyang, there is a special chapter on terrain, which specifically explains the influence of various terrains on the formation.

The so-called land of return is the land of returning to the original, which is the most core land among all terrains.

Occupying the land of return means occupying the most critical position on this land, and all magic circle arrangements cannot bypass this place. On the other hand, the opponent can use this to take advantage of the situation, and even a counterattack is not impossible.

It is like a turning point in a war, the winner or loser in Go, with great significance and far-reaching influence.

This Xiangji Cave is so immortal, it was actually built on the status of Laoyaling, which made Tang Jie's plan to deal with the phantom demon fox encounter a major setback at the very beginning.

That's right, Tang Jie's real purpose is naturally not the crow and fire spirit, but the phantom fox itself.

If Qin Zhou, Wei Tianchong and others knew about this purpose, they would be scared out of their wits.

You must know that this phantom demon fox is not other existence, it is a monster with a high level of enlightenment and only one step away from transforming into form. Its strength is equivalent to the peak of transcendence, even in Nanbaicheng, Gu Changqing and others can't match it, not to mention that there are a bunch of little demons under this Yaohu, and there are many Kaizhi existences among them.

With Tang Jie's current strength, it would be many times more difficult to destroy this group of monsters than it was on the road of exterminating demons.

Because of this,

Tang Jie put his hope on the formation, which is also his only chance to surpass the ranks and create miracles, but he did not expect to encounter such a thing.

"Is it a coincidence, or is this demon fox also capable of formation? It shouldn't be..." Looking at the terrain on the map at this moment, Tang Jie also frowned and muttered to himself. There is no reason for a wild fox to understand formations.

Thinking of this, he took a closer look, and all the terrain on the map came into his eyes, and his mind gradually became clear. Tang Jie continued to talk to himself: "The land of return is occupied, sitting on the ground, looking at it, the power is still there, there are no soldiers in the important land, and the road is cut off... It should be just a coincidence, otherwise it would be impossible to just occupy the returned land."

There are eleven important places in the topography of the formation, the most important of which is the return place, which is the place where the magic circle returns to; the second is the sitting place, which has the power of sitting and looking at the eight wildernesses, and everything is in the heart; the third is the potential place, hoping to gain momentum Once again, it has the effect of winning in battle; once again, it has the ability to strengthen magic skills; once again, it has the effect of retreating and escaping...

Now the Xiangji Cave only occupied the home ground, but none of the sitting ground, potential ground, living space, and important ground were occupied. From this, Tang Jie judged that this demon fox was pure luck. The scenery around this Xiangji Cave is very beautiful, and most of the foxes chose this place because of this.

It’s just that whether it’s a coincidence or intentional, this is always a big trouble for Tang Jie. For this reason, Tang Jie can’t help but fall into contemplation, looking for a solution, and his eyes are constantly patrolling the map: Occupy, it is difficult to achieve a large formation, the only way is to narrow the scope and set up another battlefield. But in this way, you have to lure the fox out..."

"Isn't that too risky?" Yiyi was taken aback.

The small scale is not only dangerous for attracting foxes, but most importantly, it is difficult to place all targets in the formation during the process of attracting enemies. Once the big formation is activated, the monsters outside must be vigilant and will never enter again.

In this way, not to mention less trapped monsters, these monsters are more likely to attack the formation from the outside and destroy it.

However, for Tang Jie, he has no choice.

If he wanted to create a miracle, he had to take great risks, and he didn't expect this trip to be smooth sailing.

"It's always a risk." Tang Jie said lightly.

Yiyi was terrified when she heard this, and threw herself into Tang Jie's arms: "Brother, if it really doesn't work, let's forget about it."

Tang Jie has already said firmly: "No, if I want to deceive Tianshen Palace, I must have an incarnation outside my body. This demon fox is the only one who can help me do it now."

For Tang Jie, if he wanted to enter the secret place of Tiandu Mountain, the biggest difficulty was not breaking the formation, but how to avoid the surveillance of Tianshen Palace.

It is impossible to hide the truth from the Tianshen Palace with ordinary disguise and transformation techniques. The only way is to incarnate outside the body.

But the incarnation outside the body can only be mastered at the Tianxin level. With Tang Jie's current strength, he will not even think about having it in a hundred years, so Tang Jie can only turn to others to ask for it. This phantom fox is his chosen target.

The phantom demon fox is endowed with thousands of changes, and after killing it, one can obtain its demon pill, which can be supplemented with soul jade fragments and refined by secret methods, and it is possible to obtain an incarnation outside the body.

Tang Jie got this method from the Supreme Heart Sutra of Zhiyu Tianbao. The Five Gods Sect is good at the secret method of the soul, and even puppets can send their souls, so it is no problem to create an external substitute. Of course, this method is far worse than the real incarnation outside the body. There is no possibility of cultivation, and the strength will be weakened.

According to the records of the Heart Sutra, unless such a substitute is personally visited by a powerful person at the Zifu level, or someone who understands the way of insight is willing to observe, the general Tianxin level will not be able to tell the authenticity.

But it is also not easy to do this step. Phantom Demon Fox Kaizhi Top Grade, is it easy to do, but it is precisely because of this that he has to do it all the more.

If a big sect like Tianshen Palace wants to use some tricks to deceive them, it may be possible once, but absolutely not again. After suffering a loss at the hands of Tang Jie, it is conceivable that Tianshen Palace will definitely become more cautious towards Tang Jie.

A large organization, as long as it is cautious enough, theoretically there is no way to fool them. After all, if you work together, the other party can think of any method you can think of.

The reason for wrong judgments is that too many answers equal no answers. Therefore, when making decisions, decision makers often try to exclude answers that are not likely to be high.

Miracles are usually based on these "impossibles".

Tang Jie stayed at Xiyue College for four years, and gradually understood the behavior patterns of this world.

When it comes to thinking, people here may be limited by the times, but when it comes to deceitful tricks and intrigue among people, people here are not weaker than the world they once lived in.

Tang Jie would absolutely not believe that Tianshen Palace would not think of using a substitute or other methods. Therefore, ordinary methods are absolutely ineffective against them. Only the method of incarnation outside the body can deceive the other party.

Because in the eyes of Tianshen Palace, this belongs to Tang Jie's "impossible category", so they will hardly target it.

Because of this, if Tang Jie wants to create a "big miracle" that defeats the Tianshen Palace, he must first create a "small miracle" that defeats the demon fox. Through the accumulation of countless small miracles, he will build a future big miracle.

Having made up his mind, Tang Jie made a new plan.

This time it was much easier, and Tang Jie quickly found what he needed.

The soil slope on the west side of Laoyaling.

There is a precipitous and dangerous slope here, with steep mountains, flowing springs and waterfalls, dense forests, and fire crows scattered everywhere. The five elements already have four elements. As long as you find another place that can replace the gold element, you can create an at least one The powerful formation of the third rank. There are no ore veins on Laoya Ridge, but they can be replaced by materials. Tang Jie had prepared before coming and brought a batch of ore.

While finding a good location, the required magic circle also appeared naturally.

Yimu Azure Formation.

This is a three-tier magic circle. The reason for choosing it is because the terrain in this area is suitable for this formation. The second is because this team is average in terms of damage, but it is relatively good in defense and trapping. Since it is destined not to trap all the targets in the formation this time, the defensive ability of the formation itself is more important. The third is that Yiyi's flower array can be played better here.

The plan was made, so Tang Jie put away the map and walked towards the hillside.

With his clear eyes and his carefulness all the way, he didn't encounter any trouble. Tang Jie soon arrived at the location and started to set up.

Time passed bit by bit, the hillside was dotted with blue light, thorns were densely grown, the aura was slightly surging, and the water was gurgling.

Tang Jie is like a wanderer in the mountains, wandering in the mountains, every time he goes, he will carefully locate and cast spells with all his heart, while Yiyi is responsible for finding the fire crow spirit. It is very convenient to find things, and with the clear eyes, he quickly found three fire crow spirits. It's a pity that the fire crows on Laoya Ridge lost one piece because they found one piece, even if Yiyi found three pieces, he couldn't find any more.

Tang Jie didn't care too much, the Yimu Azure Formation didn't have much demand for fire-attributed materials, as long as it could support the formation's operation.

Since the scale of the magic circle this time is much larger than before, it is extremely difficult and time-consuming to set up.

Finally, luck was good this time, and there were no accidents along the way. By the end of the day, the prototype of the Yimu Tianqing Formation had been basically completed, and the next thing to do was to supplement and improve some details.

Of course, this is also related to the small scale of Tang Jie's current magic circle. The size of the current magic circle is only one-tenth of the original plan. If it is according to his original plan, it will take at least seven or eight days to complete the encirclement of the entire old crow. Ridge array.

Seeing that the magic circle was about to be completed at this moment, Tang Jie felt much more relaxed. At this time, Yiyi ran over, holding a handful of white grass in his hand, and said excitedly, "Look, brother, it's Baifu!"
