"That thing, you call these reinforcements? If I'm not mistaken, these should be the burial objects from the tomb chamber."
"I was also considering rescuing them before, but time was of the essence, so I planned to act after returning. I didn't expect you to have already done it."
Daoist Shanhe spoke, his gaze continuously scanning the child before him.
These little fellows are Zhang Tian's reinforcements, isn't that a joke?
"Mm, Uncle-Master, I heard that you helped them before..."
Zhang Tian nodded slightly, and Taro also stepped forward.
"Old grandfather, I didn't expect you to have already..."
Taro looked at the skeletal Daoist Shanhe, his eyes instantly welling up with tears.
"Don't be sad, little one. I'm just taking a brief rest. Do you really think you're this fellow's reinforcements?"
Shanhe looked at the group of little ghosts with disbelief.
"Of course, Uncle saved us and promised to avenge us, so we want to follow Uncle and defeat the evil villains."
Taro clenched his fist, and the group of children became even more spirited.
"This..."
Daoist Shanhe was stunned. These guys are truly fearless of the tiger cub. Their strength is not even as strong as a higher-level little ghost.
"Xiao Tian, can I call you that? I don't like being bound by seniority."
"Yes, Uncle-Master."
Zhang Tian nodded, having no objection.
After all, when they returned, they would be family.
"Mm, the one inside is quite strong. Bringing them along might be a bit incongruous."
Daoist Shanhe was primarily worried about these little fellows being wiped out. If their souls died, they would truly be dead.
There would be no chance for reincarnation.
"The resentment and the power of unity are very strong. If we entered alone, it would be difficult to find a weak point."
Zhang Tian said. He wasn't a saint. If it benefited him and also fulfilled others' wishes, why not?
Daoist Shanhe nodded and said no more, merely turning his gaze aside.
His eyes were fixed on the dragon throne not far away, as if there was something important that attracted him within it.
"By the way, Uncle-Master, you must have entered the final tomb chamber before, right?"
Zhang Tian looked at Daoist Shanhe.
He wanted to find any clues he could.
"Yes, I did. The last tomb chamber contained a massive dragon formation, which was very difficult to break. Above the dragon formation, there was a black-gold ancient coffin."
"The coffin had grown moss, and the evil aura was very strong."
"While I was breaking the formation, I was ambushed and killed by someone inside. Fortunately, I used a secret technique before I died, which allowed me to preserve my final life."
Daoist Shanhe said, clenching his teeth, a trace of humiliation appearing on his face.
If it were a fair fight, he would accept defeat, but to win through an ambush, Daoist Shanhe was unconvinced.
"Dragon formation?"
Hu Bayi and Zhang Tian exchanged glances, a hint of suspicion forming in their minds.
Was it the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin? Or the Dragon Swallowing Tiger Coffin? Or perhaps the Seven-Star Dragon Coffin?
"Uncle-Master, what kind of formation are you referring to?"
Zhang Tian asked again.
"You kid, do you understand formations? That thing is quite difficult, even for me, it's hard to break."
"But there's no harm in telling you. Inside the tomb chamber, there is a golden dragon statue. The dragon's body coils from the center of the tomb chamber upwards.
"In the golden dragon's mouth, it holds a black-gold ancient coffin. Below the golden dragon are small compass patterns, all of which are constellations and star positions."
"It's very difficult to discern. To enter, one must be a master of formations."
Shanhe said, with a sigh.
With his current level of understanding of formations, it was not enough to break it.
After all, he had only learned one type of formation technique, Maoshan formations, and the current formation was too complex.
Daoist Shanhe, having only learned one type of formation, naturally found it difficult to cope.
"It's the Golden Dragon Locking Coffin Formation, also known as the Golden Dragon Bestowing Blessings. Boss, this is troublesome."
Hu Bayi's expression became serious after hearing this.
At this moment, Daoist Shanhe's mouth gradually opened again.
Good heavens, he didn't even know this name, and it came from a junior.
And he stated it instantly, his understanding of formations was terrifying.
"Um, little fellow, how did you know this name? And, do you study formations?"
Daoist Shanhe swallowed and asked somewhat anxiously.
Hu Bayi was very humble.
"Uncle-Master, since I was young, I enjoyed reading the Sixteen-Character Feng Shui Secret Arts my grandfather left me. Later, Boss and I were accepted as disciples, and we learned the Maoshan Formation Secret Arts. Later, I met a Movers' Taoist."
"Then I learned Movers' Taoist arts, so I might know a bit more."
"Please forgive my ignorance, Uncle-Master."
Hu Bayi displayed a bright smile.
Daoist Shanhe took a step back.
"Demon, demon!"
Daoist Shanhe's mouth trembled, his skull spinning.
This had surpassed his comprehension.
One person had mastered so many supreme techniques.
Especially the Sixteen-Character Feng Shui Secret Arts, he had heard of it. That thing was very mysterious, and he never expected the owner to be before his eyes.
"Uncle-Master, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine. I was thinking, did Yi Mei's ancestors have a smoke of green on their graves in their past lives to take you as a disciple."
Daoist Shanhe felt a pang of envy.
Hu Bayi, compared to Fatty, was clearly superior.
However, he was already spoken for.
"Golden Dragon Bestowing Blessings, as the name suggests, uses the stars, celestial phenomena, and fortune to bestow upon the tomb's owner the grace of heaven's mandate."
"Boss, the dragon veins we deduced earlier might also flow this way. The location of this tomb chamber is in a straight line towards the capital, Jingdu. Therefore, he can completely use the formation to absorb the dragon qi!"
"Furthermore, the previous few tomb chambers we passed, is there a possibility that those were the divine beasts guarding the final tomb?"
Hu Bayi said, and Zhang Tian swallowed.
Thinking about it this way, it really was the case.
The locations of those tomb chambers corresponded exactly to the surrounding major constellation clusters.
In this way, the meaning was self-evident.
"What they guarded together should be this. I didn't expect him to design such a large formation."
"Golden Dragon Bestowing Blessings, this formation is also very difficult to break. If I'm not mistaken, we need to resolve all the main Azure Dragon constellation clusters before we can break the formation."
Zhang Tian said after some thought.
Hu Bayi nodded slightly.
His sharp eyes scanned the surroundings.
"To break the formation, connect the other four constellation clusters to form a grand star formation. At the same time, arrange them according to the feng shui patterns to form a Dragon Trapping Formation."
"This way, Golden Dragon Bestowing Blessings will inevitably be broken. However, it's easier said than done."
"Moreover, Uncle-Master also said that someone ambushed him."
Hu Bayi said in a deep voice.
At this moment, Shanhe also fell silent.
Suddenly, Daoist Shanhe seemed to recall something.
"Right, the attacker can only attack once, and there is a ten-second interval between each attack."
"You brought so many people, wouldn't that..."
Daoist Shanhe said, looking at the surrounding Yin souls.
With thousands of Yin souls, the time gained would be enough to break the formation!
"So thoughtful. How did Yi Mei get such a disciple? His ancestors must have had smoky graves."
Daoist Shanhe's envy grew with every thought.
Why couldn't he encounter such things himself?
