Ning Que stood among the stones all over the mountains and valleys, feeling the aura. He covered his chest and frowned slightly. He did not speak for a long time. At this time, his chest seemed to be stuffed with dozens of hard pebbles, which were about to reach his throat. It was so suffocating and uncomfortable that he could not speak.
Previously, he did not understand Mo Shanshan's words that the Stone Array Tactics was a stone. It was not until these stones of different shapes filled his eye sockets and blocked his chest and abdomen that he realized that the so-called Stone Array Tactics was the unfairness in his chest and abdomen that he did not know why. The unfairness eventually condensed into stones and could not be carefree.
Stone was the most common and the most unusual thing in the world. It existed silently between heaven and earth for thousands of years. It could grow grass, but the grass was a foreign object. It could crack, but it was still a stone. Even if it was weathered into gravel, it was still a descendant of stone. Its body was so strong and pure as if it would never change.
Ning Que looked at the thousands of stones between heaven and earth and could not help but think of some words that his master, Master Yan Se, once said, "Pavilions and terraces will always be blown away by wind and rain, but the stone foundation will not be destroyed for thousands of years. It seems to be dirty, but it is extremely clean."
Everything in the world had its own aura, which was the Primordial Qi. Jade and gold were inconvenient to be exposed. Only the stone was the most silent and low-key. Its aura was strong but deep inside, and it was never willing to release it wantonly. Therefore, for cultivators, the stone was the most difficult existence to perceive, and it was even more difficult to control.
Thinking that these stones had existed quietly for countless years at the bottom of the lake, in the sea, in the mountains, under the ridges, and kept their own aura, but did not want to be known by heaven and earth, Ning Que suddenly understood something.
The cultivation method of Devil's Doctrine absorbed the aura of nature into the body, which was equivalent to creating one's own world in the body. In the doctrine of Haotian, this was a great blasphemy and disrespect, so it was called the devil by the world.
How similar were the stones in the Great Blockage Formation to those who cultivated the cultivation method of Devil's Doctrine?
Wasn't this unbearable stubbornness between heaven and earth the silent resistance to Haotian?
…
…
When the talisman tactical was cultivated to a high level, it would converge into the same river.
Mo Shanshan was addicted to Talisman Taoism and tactical matrix. She felt the magic of this Great Blockage Formation and found that she seemed to become a little naughty stone at the bottom of the water for thousands of years.
The aura of the Great Blockage Formation made her pale face show a sense of exhaustion, but she didn't care about the pain in her body at all. She looked around at the scattered stones and concentrated on the secrets hidden among them.
Ning Que looked at her tightly knitted eyebrows and shook his head, saying, "These stones imply a certain attitude. I think the person who had the ability and courage to set up this Great Blockage Formation could only be the Great Divine Priest of Light who went to the Wilderness to preach, but eventually betrayed Haotian and founded the Devil's Doctrine."
Mo Shanshan raised her head, and her beautiful slightly round cheeks were full of surprise and puzzlement. After a while, she understood that since this was the Front Gate of Devil's Doctrine, the superior who set up the Great Blockage Formation was certainly related to Devil's Doctrine.
She believed in Ning Que's inference. Although she was a little regretful that such a beautiful and magical big formation was created by the people of Devil's Doctrine, she didn't think too much about it. Her mind quickly immersed itself in the stones in the mountains and valleys again.
The bottom of the lake was dry and gravel, and there were tens of thousands of stones lying in the wilderness. This kind of scenery was not beautiful, but in the eyes of the Calligraphy Addict, it was beautiful beyond compare. It contained great wisdom that made her heart palpitate.
"How to pour the Stone Array Tactics in the heart?"
Looking at the tens of thousands of stones lying between the sky and the earth, the girl looked intoxicated and murmured, "That person used thousands of hectares of lake water to cover the sharp edges of the Great Blockage Formation with the lake water. When the cover formation was broken, the lake water would be drawn away according to the power of nature, and the Great Blockage Formation would reappear in the world. This kind of situation is really wonderful."
Ning Que had lived a hard life since he was a child. Although he could write well, he couldn't recite a good poem. His aesthetic was weak and boring. Facing the broken stones in the mountains, he really couldn't see anything beautiful, let alone the situation of the Great Blockage Formation. He only felt that the stones in his chest and abdomen were about to spew out from his throat. He was so uncomfortable that he was anxious to find a way to leave or go in. Looking at Mo Shanshan's intoxicated look, although he couldn't bear it, he had to interrupt her and asked, "Since this big formation is so powerful, can we go in?"
It was said that the Calligraphy Addict was gentle and virtuous. However, once she was really intoxicated, she would completely forget the outside world and even her internal injuries. How could she wake up so easily? She didn't hear Ning Que's words at all. She said sadly, "This Great Blockage Formation has been destroyed once. Now there is probably only one in a hundred left. It's a pity. I don't know what the Great Blockage Formation would be like when it was opened in good condition. I don't know whether there will be anyone who can make the Stone Array Tactics reappear in the world in the future."
She was very sad, but Ning Que was a little happy. He thought that if it were not so, they would have been dead long ago. He comforted her casually, "Let's find a way to go in first. In the future, you can study the tactical formation more. It's not difficult to make the Stone Array Tactics reappear."
Mo Shanshan was silent, and no one knew what she was thinking about. Her slightly sparse and slender eyelashes gently blinked. After a moment, her thin lips slightly opened, and she looked at Ning Que and said seriously, "Thirteenth Brother, you are right. There are very few people in the world who can see this Stone Array Tactics. Since I have seen it and understood it, then I have to find a way to make it reappear in the world in the future. If I don't work hard to cultivate and study, the Stone Array Tactics will really disappear. Then it will be my responsibility."
Ning Que didn't expect that a casual sentence could make her take the initiative to carry such a heavy responsibility. The inheritance in the cultivation world was always broken. It was naturally a good thing if she could pick up this magical tactical formation again. However, he was a little worried that such a heavy responsibility would affect her state of mind and cultivation. He was speechless for a while.
Suddenly, he thought of a problem.
The stones on the mountain were so powerful when only one percent of the power was left. What kind of invincible existence would it be when it was intact? This legendary tactical formation named Stone Array Tactics could make the Calligraphy Addict so intoxicated and leave its illustrious reputation in the West-Hill classics. But its foundation was actually destroyed by someone? Who on earth had the ability to destroy such a big tactical formation back then?
Thinking of this question, he looked at an ordinary stone in front of him and squatted down. He slowly stretched out his fingers and gently stroked the two lines of moss on the stone. As his fingertips moved, the moss peeled off, revealing the deep marks inside.
Those marks were clear sword marks. They had been covered by the lake water and moss for decades and had never seen the light of day.
Ning Que turned his head to look elsewhere and found that there were some stones in this Great Blockage Formation with similar streaks of moss. Presumably, under those streaks of moss, there were also similar sword marks.
The sword marks on the stone were divided into two lines. They were simple and even a little rough. One sword on the left and the other on the right were very casual, but they revealed an unparalleled sense of toughness. After many years, the moss attached to the sword marks and wrote a word.
Ning Que felt the touch of his fingertips and the remaining faint aura between the sword marks. He understood that these simple but powerful sword marks directly destroyed the foundation of the Great Blockage Formation.
The aura between the sword marks was very familiar and very close. It was exactly the same as the aura that led him to this verdant valley a few days ago. However, it was much fainter. It should be the remnant of that aura.
Then he noticed that the cross-section of some stones was too smooth, which was obviously cut. He found three pieces and put them together. He found that a whole stone was indeed cut into three pieces by two swords.
The three pieces of broken stone were restored to a whole according to the smooth sword marks. A few wisps of dust sprayed out from the cracks, and the remaining aura also became a little stronger.
Ning Que silently looked at the sword marks on the stone in front of him, as if he once again saw the cedar stubbornly surviving on the top of the Snow-capped Peak. It was strong and proud but disdainful. It overlooked the common people but disdained to look at the sky.
The aura of the person who broke the formation many years ago was very similar to that of the Great Blockage Formation. They were both so stubborn and full of sharpness. However, if one carefully tasted them, they were essentially different.
The Great Divine Priest of Light, who founded the Devil's Doctrine a thousand years ago, locked his unwillingness and resentment in the stone when he set up the Great Blockage Formation. He only stood between heaven and earth in a silent posture, using silence and sharpness to express his attitude and strength to Heaven.
The message transmitted by the remaining aura of the person who broke the formation decades ago was clearer and brighter. Although he was often silent, he never meant to lock himself. He was always free and generous. If there was a little dissatisfaction, he would straighten his waist and stab it. When he didn't say it, it was because he disdained to say it. Once he said it, he would let the whole Heaven know.

How to cast the Great Blockage Formation?
Mo Shanshan said that there was only the lake water.
Ning Que looked at the sword marks on the stone and knew that there was another answer, at least there was one many years ago.
Decades ago, it was still this verdant valley, and the lake water was still in it.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the tactical array of the Front Gate of Devil's Doctrine was activated. The lake water was emptied, and the water fell and the stone came out.
When the stone came out, the Great Blockage Formation appeared. It stretched between heaven and earth and blocked the way of the world.
A scholar in a green robe rode a little black donkey and walked in the world.
Suddenly, the road ahead was blocked. The rocks that filled the mountains and valleys made him unhappy.
So he drew out the sword at his waist and cut the legendary Great Blockage Formation into pieces.
Then, he rode on the little black donkey and continued to curse the heavens and the earth. His eyebrows and spirits were equally high, and he was very happy.
How to cast the Stone Array?
Just the Righteous Qi in his chest was enough.
…
…
Decades later, Ning Que knelt before the sword mark on the stone and kowtowed three times respectfully.
The familiar aura of the sword mark condensed into a mountain in his sense of perception. The mountain was high but not dangerous, similar to the big mountain behind the Academy. It made his eyes slightly sour and his chest filled with endless emotions.
Such a person was indeed worthy of Second Brother's worship with his life and Mistress Jian's memory with the rest of her life. Naturally, he was also worthy of his unreasonable and vicissitudes of pride from his knees to the top of his head.
