Chapter 86: The Third Formation (Part 2)
“A little cold.”
“?”
Xie Yu looked at Sang Jing, who was continuing to draw the talisman. Her serious and focused expression was as if the person who had just kissed her was not her.
Licking her lips, the softness and warmth of the other’s lips seemed to still linger on them. Where was it cold? An excuse!
If you want to kiss, just kiss. You even have to find an excuse to kiss. Xie Yu snorted in her heart. She complained, but she was still happy and bubbling.
Although the reserved person didn’t say it, she did it.
Now she was not bored at all. Xie Yu was just waiting for Sang Jing to call her, and then she would run over and kiss her for a while.
At the beginning, there was always a reason. In the end, there was no need to say anything, not even her name. She would put down her pen, look up, and the next second, Xie Yu would be sitting on Sang Jing’s lap, holding her face and starting to kiss.
A night passed. The paper on the table was full, and dozens of sheets were scattered on the floor. The prototype of the formation was slowly being pushed out.
Of course, her mouth was also a little swollen.
Sang Jing and Zhu Yun planned to push one suppression formation and one killing formation, and the two of them would proceed simultaneously.
The situation on Sang Jing’s side was not optimistic, and there was no news from Zhu Yun either.
Wrong again.
The formation points of the two formations were combined. To completely separate them, they had to keep trying and making mistakes. It was possible that you had found one formation, but the remaining points could not form a formation. Then the formation you had found was also wrong.
Drawing a big cross on the paper, Sang Jing took a deep breath and looked up.
She had been looking down all night, and her neck was sore.
A cold hand held the back of her neck and gently kneaded it. Sang Jing opened her eyes and saw Xie Yu.
They had kissed seven or eight times intermittently throughout the night. When they suddenly looked at each other, their eyes unconsciously went to their mouths.
Xie Yu lowered her head and saw Sang Jing’s slightly broken lower lip. In the end, she only kissed the corner of her mouth. “Rest for a while.”
Restoring a formation was extremely exhausting. Sang Jing’s body had not fully recovered, and after a night, her face was even worse.
Just as Xie Yu finished speaking, the room door was knocked. Bei Shan’s voice came from outside. “Sang Jing, I brought you breakfast. Come out and eat first.”
Sang Jing rubbed her brow. She didn’t insist on restoring the formation before eating. The sky was still overcast, but it was windier than yesterday, so it was not so hot and stuffy.
Opening the door, Bei Shan was startled when she saw Sang Jing’s face, then she fell silent when she saw the cut on her mouth.
Sang Jing saw her reaction and said silently, “Internal heat.”
Bei Shan’s gaze on her gradually became ambiguous. She nodded. “Mm-hmm, internal heat. I haven’t said anything yet. Why are you in such a hurry to explain?”
Sang Jing: “…”
The ancient town bridge had Wei Qingyun and Xia Changqing left. The others came back to rest and recuperate. When Sang Jing and Zhu Yun had the formation map, they would have to do a big job.
There was a table in the courtyard of the homestay. Tan Wei and Yan Chuan had laid out the breakfast. The variety was rich, and the flavors catered to everyone’s tastes.
After washing up, Sang Jing began to prepare Xie Yu’s food. Before, in the hotel, there were no conditions, so she could only light some incense. Here, she could make something else for Xie Yu to eat.
Xie Yu secretly observed how Tan Wei was raising Ah Qing on the side. In the end, she found that it was also just lighting incense and burning paper, and it was not as rich as what Sang Jing had made!
Sang Jing saw her eyes always looking at other ghosts’ food and snorted lightly. “What’s wrong? You want to eat someone else’s food? Then go and talk to Tan Wei and ask her to raise another ghost. I remember that a Ghost Master can raise more than one ghost.”
On the other side, Tan Wei heard this and her movements paused. The incense in her hand snapped. Ah Qing’s gaze was faint as she looked at her.
Tan Wei moved her body and blocked Xie Yu’s gaze from this side.
Xie Yu stopped looking and moved to Sang Jing’s side, reaching out to pull her clothes. “Your incense is the most fragrant. I don’t want anyone else to raise me. It’s enough for you to raise me.”
Sang Jing didn’t speak, but she folded another paper ingot for Xie Yu.
After the two ghosts had eaten, the table of people also began to eat breakfast.
“Sister Hua, eat this,” Yan Chuan said, giving Hua Changge a small steamed bun.
Hua Changge enjoyed Yan Chuan’s care very naturally.
Wenren Jin ate two mouthfuls and then stopped, her eyes filled with fatigue.
At the table, Bei Shan was the one who ate the most and the most happily. Nothing was better than filling her stomach.
After eating breakfast and cleaning up the tableware, several people gathered around the table for a small meeting.
It was mainly about Hua Changge’s discovery.
“There are indeed traces of a spiritual doctor on Qin Ge’s body. Those traces…” Hua Changge frowned. “They’re a bit like my handiwork.”
“Hmm?” Tan Wei’s eyes were surprised.
Bei Shan was even more stunned. “Huh?”
Wenren Jin was not sleepy anymore and sat forward.
Yan Chuan already knew this, her brow furrowed.
Sang Jing thought for a moment and asked her, “Can this be imitated? Is the person behind this deliberately imitating you?”
Hua Changge nodded. “It’s possible. But I’m more inclined to another possibility. She is learning my techniques. I discovered this at Sophora Tree Park. It’s just that the other party’s techniques were not yet mature at that time. But on Qin Ge, she is already very skilled. She has learned it.”
“To be able to learn to this extent on her own and achieve one body, two souls, she is definitely a prodigy. What a pity,” Hua Changge shook her head.
If talent is not used for the right path, it will ultimately harm others and oneself.
Sang Jing squinted her eyes. “What kind of person can learn your techniques?”
This question sent a chill down the spines of everyone present, and Hua Changge had already thought of this.
To be able to learn her techniques so well, it must be someone who had had contact with her. This contact was not just for a few days or months, but for years. And there were not many people around her who met this condition.
Yan Chuan didn’t dare to breathe. Finally, she took a deep breath. “So scary.”
The thought of such a person being by Sister Hua’s side made her scalp tingle. The other party’s existence was like a poisonous snake in a gutter, hiding in a dark corner and staring with poisoned eyes.
The gazes of the few people fell on Hua Changge. Hua Changge knew that they were waiting for her to give a candidate.
“I can’t think of anyone.”
Hua Changge took out a crumpled ball of paper from her pocket. This was the few people she had picked out last night when she had realized that the spiritual doctor’s traces on Qin Ge’s body were very similar to hers.
In the end, they were all eliminated one by one.
Yan Chuan glanced at it. The first one on the list was Wei Qingyun.
Her eyebrows were pressed down, and the tip of her tongue flicked at her somewhat sharp teeth on the side.
Hua Changge said again, “Just being close is not enough. To be able to use spiritual medicine to achieve one body, two souls, her own metaphysical skills are also extremely high. Don’t forget these formations.”
Bei Shan frowned, a look of disbelief on her face. “Don’t tell me all this was done by one person. That’s too heaven-defying. I’ve only seen one such heaven-defying person.”
The concentrated gazes turned to Sang Jing.
Sang Jing: “…”
She pursed her lips. “I can’t do it.”
“I also think it’s more like a few people working together,” Tan Wei said, following Bei Shan’s words.
Hua Changge threw up her hands, then threw the ball of paper into the trash can.
The topic ended there. The few who had just returned went back to rest. Sang Jing went back to her room to continue restoring the formation.
It wasn’t until three or four in the afternoon, and she hadn’t even had lunch, that Sang Jing finally moved out the eighty-one points of the suppression formation from the one hundred and sixty-two formation eye points.
She took out the eighty-one points and connected them.
Done!
Sang Jing then took out the remaining formation eye points, wanting to see if she could form a killing formation. This was when Zhu Yun sent a message.
She had also found it.
The two of them sent their respective formation maps over and then compared them one by one with the formation eye point map.
There was no overlap. The only overlapping formation eye point was the ancient town bridge!
Restored!
The moment she saw the two formations restored without any errors, Zhu Yun cried out, with two large dark circles under her eyes. She knelt on the floor full of waste paper, her face, body, and hands all covered in ink, like a big calico cat.
She hadn’t closed her eyes for a day and a night, but Zhu Yun didn’t dare to sleep. She still wanted to know the result.
Sang Jing knocked on the doors one by one, telling them that the formation map was out.
The moment they heard “formation map,” the few of them didn’t dare to delay. They hurriedly packed up and rushed to the ancient town bridge.
Wei Qingyun and Xia Changqing were still talking about the past there.
“Senior Sister Wei, you and Senior Sister Hua now…”
“She still resents me.”
“Alas, I really miss the days when we learned metaphysical arts together.”
“The past is in the past. By the way, how is Teacher Gu?”
“She… is fine.”
As they were talking, Wei Qingyun heard a noise and turned her head. Seeing a group of people rushing this way, she was surprised. “The formation map is out? So fast?”
Xia Changqing also turned her head, adjusted her glasses, and her gaze fell on Sang Jing.
Bei Shan was the first to run over. She distributed the copied formation map to Wei Qingyun and Xia Changqing. “This is the formation map. Sang Jing and Zhu Yun have confirmed it. It’s a killing formation on top and a suppression formation on the bottom. If we break the killing formation first, it won’t startle the things under the bridge.”
“So impressive,” Xia Changqing praised.
Breaking a formation was not difficult. The team leaders and chairmen present could all break simple small formation eyes, so there was no need for Sang Jing to run around alone.
While they were breaking the small formation eyes, Sang Jing came to the ancient town bridge, her gaze sweeping over each formation eye point.
If the suppression formation was to prevent the evil ghosts below from coming out, then what was the killing formation for?
She held the formation maps of the two formations in her hands, held them up to the light, overlapped them, separated them, overlapped them, separated them…
Back and forth a dozen or so times.
Xie Yu didn’t understand what she was doing and asked softly, “Isn’t it already restored? Could there be a third formation here?”
Sang Jing’s hand paused. She turned to look at Xie Yu, startled by her words.
A third formation, how…
Possible, it was possible.
If the main formation eye could overlap, then the small and large formation eyes could also overlap.
To pick out another formation from the two double-nine formations.
Sang Jing didn’t feel cold, but goosebumps had already risen on her skin.
“We can’t break the formation,” Sang Jing murmured, then suddenly looked up.
It was too late.
Xia Changqing had already broken the first formation eye.
In an instant, a wind rose. The water under the ancient town bridge began to churn and shake. Bean-sized raindrops fell, hitting the surface of the water and forming small pits.
“What’s going on!?” Bei Shan shouted in a panic.
Hua Changge grabbed Yan Chuan beside her and said in a deep voice, “We made a mistake.”
Wei Qingyun reacted quickly and ran to the nine-story pagoda. Dozens of talismans were thrown out, corresponding with the hundred talismans on the pagoda. An invisible barrier covered the area where the formation eye points were located, and the people outside could not see what was happening inside.
The few people on both sides of the bridge, and Sang Jing on the bridge, watched with wide eyes as a golden and a red formation light appeared. And where the two formations overlapped, black traces slowly revealed themselves.
Sang Jing’s knuckles turned white from the force.
“There is no third formation. It’s a talisman.”
The one on Shen Jue’s back, her teacher’s talisman.
Those two are so sweet i’m gonna get diabetes… ALSO GET OFF OF THE BRIDGE!
