Fairy, return my flying sword to me

Chapter 173 Formation Disk
"Yes! We saw a glow coming out of the temple from afar. Did some thieves get in and are we catching them?"

"Young masters, do you need any help? Although we are not very skilled cultivators, we can still lend a hand when we encounter thieves."

The standoff was still going on in front of the Great Compassion Hall, and the young monk guarding the gate was the first to receive news that thieves had broken into the temple.

Upon hearing that these people could help, he immediately opened the door and let the believers who were on guard in. "Thank you all for your help, there are indeed thieves in the temple."

The noisy sound came from far away, accompanied by the shouting of those gangsters.

"Go, go, go!" the leading believer shouted, "Go and help! I want to see which thief has the guts to touch the masters of Mingguang Temple!"

"That's right! If you dare to take over Mingguang Temple, you should ask our approval first!"

Lin Jian's eyes narrowed as he quickly shouted to the abbot, "Quickly control them! Don't let them run away!"

"Hmm?" The abbot didn't change his mind at first, but he was still willing to believe Lin Jian's decision.

"Quick!" The abbot waved his hand and beckoned the head of the Jindan stage academy beside him, "Have the disciples gather all the donors together and tell them that the situation is under control and everything is fine."

"Something else is wrong!" Lin Jian walked quickly towards the abbot, "Where is the array plate that monitors the entire formation? I need to see it!"

The abbot looked at the woods, gazing silently.

The two Jindan Academy heads came from the side to stop him, "No!"

"Abbot, this donor is in league with the Imperial Master. The Imperial Master's identity is still uncertain, so we can't let him touch the formation plate!"

"Yes! What if they are taking this opportunity to target the formation plate? Before we find out the true motives of the Imperial Master, we cannot trust him!"

Prejudice is a huge mountain in people's hearts.

The Imperial Master spoke in a savage voice, "F**k you! It's already this late and you still can't tell friend from foe! Did I say anything just now in vain?!"

The abbot remained silent, his old and clear eyes just staring quietly at the eyes in the forest.

Then, at a moment no one expected, he suddenly nodded and said, "Okay! I believe you. But only you can go."

He waved his hand and turned to the Imperial Master, "As for them, they must be kept here for the time being and are not allowed to run around."

He looked at the Imperial Master with a serious expression, "If you truly want to prove that you are a good person, then stay here and don't move. We will handle everything that happens in the temple."

The Imperial Master opened his mouth, realizing that he had indeed broken into a Buddhist temple at night and was on someone else's territory, so it was normal for them to be a little wary.

"Alright!" He sat down on the spot. "I'll sit here until the end of time. Just to see if you monks really mean what you say!"

He just sat there and the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. "Why the hell should I trust him and not me? I brought that kid here with me."

"Of course it's our Young Master Lin who is beautiful and kind-hearted." Fairy Hongxia smiled, thinking that Young Master Lin, who stood up and commanded the whole scene at this time, was even more likable... I love him so much

The abbot ignored them and turned to Lin Jian, bowing and smiling, "Little friend Lin, please come with me."

The abbot led Lin Jian through the courtyard.

The formation plate is placed in the center of the entire temple, which is under the abbot's own meditation room.

The array disk is the core magic tool for monitoring and controlling the entire array.

As long as one obtains the authority, anyone can control the direction of the entire formation through the formation plate. It can be said to be the lifeblood of the entire formation.

Similarly, through the array disk, it is possible to quickly find out whether there is any abnormality in the array.

If a formation master is setting up a temple formation, as long as he is in the formation and steps on the key node, he can naturally do the same thing without the formation plate.

However, a formation master might not only set up one formation in his lifetime. When two formations needed to be set up, and one could not be in both places, the only way to transfer authority was through the formation plate.

Not to mention that people are born, grow old, get sick and die. Does it mean that if the formation master dies, the formation he set up will crash at the same time?
It is not easy to arrange a magic array, and this is a decision that must be made at the beginning of the arrangement.

Therefore, even if the formation master of Minguang Temple is now in charge of the temple, they must have a formation plate.

"Is the formation master who set up the formation still here?" Lin Jian also asked.

"He left long ago..." The abbot said with embarrassment, "This formation was left behind by a senior monk in the temple hundreds of years ago. He has long since passed away..."

"As expected." Lin Jian nodded in his heart.

Being able to set up a large magic circle at the foot of the mountain that almost covers the entire mountain can only mean that the ancestors of this Minguang Temple were wealthy.

It’s a pity that most of the disciples have no ambition to make progress, or that each generation is worse at teaching.

As the rumor spread, the entire sect was about to collapse...

As he led Lin Jian underground, the abbot humbly asked, "So, is there something wrong with our magic formation?"

"Not sure, need to take a look." Lin Jian stared intently.

A very simple inference -

If he could use a small trick of the external magic circle to deceive the warning magic circle and lead people into the temple, then the magic circle they used to gather the faith of the people and refine the exorcism elixir, could it be that someone else had secretly tampered with it?

The formation plate was seen in the woods.

The so-called formation plate is actually a device that looks like a sand table.

When no spell is cast, the array plate is like a piece of pure cold sand without any temperature.

Only occasional lines of spiritual power flowed over the array disk, indicating that the array disk was still operating normally.

Lin Jian saw the three-dimensional structure of an entire temple in the array.

However, only the various buildings in the front yard are lifelike, while in the middle and back yards, although there are physical buildings in the temple, there is no display of them on the array plate.

The array plate will only display the part that plays a role in the array. As for the real buildings that are not connected to the array... who cares?
The abbot made a hand gesture and a stream of spiritual power rose from the bottom of the array plate, quickly traveling across the entire array plate and also flowing over the three-dimensional miniature array pattern structures that appeared out of thin air.

A faint orange-yellow spiritual light illuminated Lin Jian's face, and his eyes quickly swept across the array patterns through which the spiritual power flowed -

That’s right…that’s right…that’s right…

The trajectory of the magic circle is exactly the same as the on-site layout he observed during the day. Apart from the richer and more detailed details, there is no other difference.

He shifted his gaze from the forest and then looked at the circle around the array plate, which represented the defense line of the temple wall.

"Can you activate those again?"

"Of course." The abbot agreed immediately, "But the two formations are not from the same source. I need to activate them separately."

As he spoke, he made another hand gesture. After a brief delay, the pattern representing the warning magic circle appeared in front of Lin Jian.

Lin Jian immediately looked towards the direction where he and the others had entered...

No.
