I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

#383 - Goodbye Yellow River Nine Bends Talisman Array

Although Xu Erniu was young, she was definitely not stupid; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to survive begging on her own.

She felt that Zhang Chen was acting strangely. He had mysterious methods at the foot of the mountain, but why did they all disappear in the mountains? He even turned into a useless person?

The two walked past many houses, and finally, when they arrived at the backyard, they passed a large hall with the words 'Heaven and Earth' inscribed on it. Xu Erniu pointed to the hall and said, "This hall is a forbidden area. No one is allowed to enter except the founder."

Zhang Chen turned his head to look and saw that the gate was tightly closed, appearing very mysterious, so he nodded in agreement.

Next, Xu Erniu took Zhang Chen to familiarize himself with all the courtyards and then arranged Zhang Chen's residence: "You will live next to me from now on so that we can take care of each other."

Zhang Chen nodded upon hearing this: "Alright!"

Zhang Chen settled down in the backyard and began his daily chores and errands.

While working, Zhang Chen casually walked through all the courtyards. The Great自在Heavenly Demon landed on Zhang Jiao's shoulder, transforming into a thumb-sized little man: "Boy, that mirror is in the Heaven and Earth Hall. If you want to obtain the method to regulate Yin and Yang and control the five elements, you still need to enter that hall."

"Are you sure it's in that hall?" Zhang Chen looked at the hall from afar.

The Great自在Heavenly Demon nodded affirmatively: "That mirror is enshrined in the hall."

"But that is a hall that the Longevity Founder has explicitly forbidden anyone from entering. If I sneak in and get discovered by the founder, I'm afraid it will be a major disaster." Zhang Chen was a little apprehensive: "Moreover, that hall is so important, who knows if there are any tenth or twelfth-order existences guarding it? If I rashly barge in, wouldn't I be throwing myself into a trap?"

"The Longevity Founder doesn't trust anyone but himself, so how could he trust his disciples to guard the hall?" The Great自在Heavenly Demon explained.

Zhang Chen held a rag in his hand, constantly wiping the doors and windows of the palace. He wiped all the way to the Heaven and Earth Hall and was a little surprised: "The gate of this Heaven and Earth Hall actually has no restrictions."

"Have you been reading too many novels and stories from the mortal world? Where are there any restrictions that can be added to the gate other than formations? This is just an ordinary gate." The Great自在Heavenly Demon complained about Zhang Chen, saying that this kid had been poisoned by secular novels and didn't know how mysterious the abilities were.

"I don't know much about those strong people, how would I know what methods they have?" Zhang Chen said unhappily.

"What if you坑die me? Who would I complain to?" Zhang Chen said unhappily.

The Great自在Heavenly Demon was helpless with Zhang Chen's distrust and could only explain: "Cultivators are not as magical as you imagine, they are just people who have mastered extraordinary power."

"I think the safest way is to lure the tiger away from the mountain. I'll think of a way to get this old thing away, and then I'll sneak in." Zhang Chen was very cautious and didn't want to take any risks.

Hearing this, the Great自在Heavenly Demon frowned and thought: "It won't be easy to get him away. This old fellow has countless experts under his command, and ordinary things won't require him to come forward."

"Think of a way." Zhang Chen urged the Great自在Heavenly Demon.

The Great自在Heavenly Demon thought for a moment before saying: "I have come up with a way."

Zhang Chen was surprised. He didn't expect that the Great自在Heavenly Demon, this old fellow, would actually have a way, so he asked in his heart: "What's your way?"

"Nine曲Yellow River Talisman Formation." The Great自在Heavenly Demon said: "Qingcheng Mountain is the Longevity Founder's cave, the foundation of the Longevity Founder. If you set up the Nine曲Yellow River Talisman Formation, it will definitely attract the Longevity Founder to check it out. He can't use the methods of earth崩mountain摧, and can't break the Nine曲Yellow River Talisman Formation. His energy will definitely be tied down there..."

Zhang Chen was moved upon hearing this. The Nine曲Yellow River Talisman Formation was his natal talisman, and he could summon it back to his soul with a thought. No one could suppress his talisman.

Even if the Longevity Founder really broke the Nine曲Yellow River Talisman Formation and took his talisman, he could summon it back with a thought.

"You're really a good one." Zhang Chen's eyes lit up: "But there's still one problem. I can't leave the Taoist temple, so I can't set up a large formation outside the Taoist temple."

To set up the Nine曲Yellow River Talisman Formation, you still need to find a place where no one is around, because once the formation is interrupted during the process of setting it up, it will be troublesome.

There will definitely be fluctuations in the天地元energy when setting up the formation. Once I take action, it will definitely attract everyone in the Taoist temple to check it out. In my current state, it will be difficult to escape.

"I think that little fat guy Zou Wenlong is a good candidate." The Great自在Heavenly Demon said: "If that kid sets up the formation, then all the blame will be placed on that kid. Then someone will take the blame for you."

"But how can I get him to set up the formation at the foot of the mountain?" Zhang Chen began to ponder.

"There's no need to set up the formation at the foot of the mountain. With that kid's identity, what if he sets up the formation on the mountain? If he causes trouble, what does it matter to us even if the Longevity Taoist punishes him? Moreover, once the Nine曲Yellow River Talisman Formation is set up, it might even envelop the core disciples of the Five庄Temple in the formation. Then the Longevity Taoist will be anxious. If he rushes in rashly, then it will be his death! Even that bald-haired chicken can't resist the Nine曲Yellow River Great Formation, let alone him?" The Great自在Heavenly Demon's voice was full of schadenfreude, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.

"Moreover, the Longevity Taoist's tribulation has arrived. Under the tribulation, he is blinded by greed and always does stupid things. Maybe he will even take the initiative to rush into the Nine曲Yellow River Talisman Formation to face the tribulation." The Great自在Heavenly Demon said.

Zhang Chen nodded upon hearing this. Now that the plan had been decided, the next step was to think about how to successfully set up the Nine曲Yellow River Talisman Formation with Zou Wenlong's help.

"This is not difficult. I just need to design it in advance. As long as that little fat guy activates the talisman, the Nine曲Yellow River Talisman Formation will be set up automatically. Then things will be done." Zhang Chen felt great when he thought of this and began to wipe the hall quickly.

Zhang Chen secretly observed the daily trajectory of the little fat guy Zou Wenlong. After seven or eight days of observation, Zhang Chen determined that the little fat guy would always arrive a little later than others when he went to listen to lectures. The path he walked every day would definitely pass by the big willow tree in the back. So, on this day, when Zhang Chen was cleaning the courtyard in the morning, he deliberately got up a little earlier, and then, holding a pile of golden talismans in his hand, he threw them into the lotus pond without leaving a trace before slowly walking away.

Although it was early morning, the sky was still gloomy. Zou Wenlong, in his youth, loved to sleep in. As the morning bells chimed, the little fatty hurriedly scrambled out of bed, casually wiped his face, and then rushed towards the front yard. However, as he passed the Lotus Pond Bridge, Zhang Chen, sensing from afar with his magical power, suddenly a golden light flashed in the pond, causing the little fatty to halt in his tracks.

Although the golden light in the pond was fleeting, it was still noticed by the little fatty. He paused, then leaned on the railing and looked towards the pond, where he saw a stack of talismans underwater.

Ever since receiving the invisibility talisman from Zhang Chen, Zou Wenlong had been very interested in talismans. Seeing a stack of golden talismans appear in the pond, he was immediately intrigued: "Whose talismans have fallen here? Could they be a senior brother's?"

Those who can come to the back courtyard are all disciples who have received the Patriarch's true teachings. Most of them have achieved something in their cultivation, and each of them is a great power capable of overturning rivers and seas. Could the things that fall from them be simple objects?

Zou Wenlong jumped directly into the pond, scooped up the talismans, and swam to the shore. He held the stack of talismans in his hand, examining them, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "These are not ordinary talismans, they are actually the legendary golden talismans! My luck has arrived, I've made a big profit this time!"

Zou Wenlong didn't bother to examine them closely. He stuffed the talismans into his bosom, then looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he shook off the water from his body, wiped his face, and then quickly hurried towards the front yard.

Not long after the little fatty left, Zhang Chen arrived at the bridge with a faint smile on his face. He looked at the talismans disappearing into the pond water, then turned and left gracefully. He knew that things were done. As long as the little fatty studied the talismans and poured magical power into them, he would activate the power of the talismans, and then the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation would be deployed directly.

"I just don't know if that old fellow, the Innate Mosquito, will crawl out of the Yellow Springs and rush into the second heaven of the spiritual world to fight the Longevity Patriarch."

Zou Wenlong, feeling guilty after obtaining the talismans, hid them all the way. Then he arrived at the place where the Patriarch lectured. The disciples, seeing the wet Zou Wenlong, all came forward to tease him, but Zou Wenlong responded with a hearty laugh.

As the bells and chimes sounded, the Patriarch arrived at the high platform. His eyes swept over the disciples, and when he saw the wet Zou Wenlong, he frowned and scolded: "This is a solemn and sacred place for lecturing. How can you be so sloppy?"

Saying this, he reprimanded: "I sentence you to a month of not being allowed to listen to the lectures."

Then he sent someone to drive Zou Wenlong out.

Zou Wenlong was not flustered. He didn't return to his house. He walked out of the gate, stroked the talismans in his bosom, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "I was just looking for a place to study the effects of the talismans."

He couldn't go to the back courtyard. If the talismans were activated and seen by the senior brothers, it would inevitably cause trouble. If the owner asked for them back, wouldn't he be dumbfounded?

So, taking advantage of the morning when the senior brothers and disciples were listening to the lectures, he came to an empty pavilion. He took out the stack of talismans from his bosom and said to himself: "I wonder what the effects of these talismans are? The invisibility talisman gave me a big surprise and gave me a trump card. I only hope that these talismans can also bring me surprises."

Then, Zou Wenlong drew out a talisman, infused it with magical power, and activated it. The three hundred and sixty-five talismans in his hand shot out golden light, and then operated and arranged according to a certain law. The next moment, they covered a space of one thousand two hundred meters, directly covering half of the Taoist temple. Then, a shocking aura soared into the sky, and the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation once again showed its power in the Primordial World.

In the back courtyard Taoist temple, Zhang Chen saw the atmosphere created by the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth: "It's done!"

With the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation deployed, the Longevity Patriarch will definitely be interested in the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation. If such a heaven-defying formation suddenly appeared in his own territory, anyone would want to find out the reason.

Moreover, the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation is so powerful that even the Longevity Patriarch cannot resist its temptation.

"Hurry up and do it."

Hearing this, Zhang Chen quickly came to the front of the Heaven and Earth Hall, then stretched out his palm and gently pushed the door. The door opened, and Zhang Chen quickly flashed in.

Outside

As the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation was deployed, the shocking momentum immediately alarmed the Longevity Patriarch and the disciples who were listening to the lectures. The Longevity Patriarch's figure transformed into a wisp of smoke, and when he reappeared, he was already outside the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation.

At this time, the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation had not yet been fully deployed. The little fatty stood in the middle of the talismans, full of horror, only feeling a murderous intent attacking him. He was bound by the power of the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation.

Even though the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation had not yet been fully deployed, the power of heaven and earth had already gathered, suppressing the little fatty.

"Patriarch, save me! Patriarch, save me!" Little fatty Zou Wenlong was now terrified, shouting miserably.

The Longevity Patriarch looked at the incomplete formation and summoned a hand several tens of feet in size, wanting to destroy the talismans and prevent them from forming the formation. But at this time, it was too late. Before he could stop it, the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation had already formed.

The Longevity Patriarch's summoned hand was directly annihilated by the Nine Bends Yellow River Talisman Formation, without even stirring up a ripple.

"Impossible! How is this possible!" The Longevity Patriarch, seeing that his attack had not succeeded, falling into the formation like a mud cow entering a whirlpool, couldn't help but lose his composure, no longer as calm and collected as before.

He is one of the top powerhouses in this world. What formation, before it is formed, can withstand the power of his attack?

Impossible!

It's simply impossible!

Most importantly, as the formation in front of him began to operate, the aura of the formation was stern, actually connected to the earth's dragon veins, echoing each other. Although the formation was only a little over a thousand meters, the dangerous aura it emitted made him tremble with fear.

However, the little fatty trapped in the formation is not an ordinary person, and has a great connection with him. There must be no problems.

The Longevity Patriarch looked over and saw the formation: The yin wind rustles, and the air invades people; the black mist fills the sky and obscures the sun and moon. Wandering and swaying, silent and dark. The miserable air soars to the sky, and the haze covers the earth. Destroying souls and destroying spirits, no matter how many years of cultivation you have, it will become a painted cake; damaging your spirit and losing your energy, even if you escape ten thousand tribulations, all your hard work will be lost.

He had never seen such a vicious formation.

"Patriarch, what happened?"

"Old Ancestor, where did this formation come from?"

"This formation is full of evil, so desolate."

… …

At this time, the disciples followed closely, looking at the formed formation, all were frightened and sweating profusely.
