Chapter 84: The outer perimeter formation

At the last section of the lake, which is close to the natural formation, Jifeng personally steered the boat the entire way. Judging from his expression, it was clear that this was no easy task. Not only did he take out a formation plate, but he also carefully maneuvered the boat, retreating and advancing at times, and sometimes making circles on the lake. People who didn’t know what was going on would probably think that the people on the boat were “possessed” and had offended the lake god, and that rowing the boat was like playing hide-and-seek!

But those of us who know what we are looking at feel a sense of shock and “thrill.” The shock is that what kind of talent can lay such a large array in the lake? After all, laying an array in the water and laying an array on land are two completely different concepts! And it is such a large-scale array! It must be a certain cooperation between the underwater and the surface, and the difficulty is unimaginable!

The thrilling part is that the monsoon was actually manipulating the boat to follow the steps of the Taoist breaking formation! You have to be extremely careful when breaking the maze on land, let alone manipulating a boat? If you fail, judging from the monsoon’s appearance, the consequences will be much more serious than if an ordinary person came here to make soy sauce and then returned the same way!

But I also admire the people of Hucun. The boat was so meticulously controlled by Ji Feng that it was really smooth all the way, not to mention that he was also explaining to Huigen how to control the boat in and out of the formation.

The boat behind us is the same! Because they don’t need to explain, their boat looks more agile than the one that the monsoon is controlling.

After all, they are the descendants of the lake, so they really can’t be underestimated!

The boat was moving forward in a strange way. Since Chengzhen was so interested in this, he went to the bow of the boat to observe what was going on!

I don’t understand, just like everyone else, I’m leaning lazily against the cabin. I find that I’m not used to this kind of ‘bumpy’ forward motion, and I even feel a little seasick!

Just when I was feeling a little dizzy, my brother Chengxin let out a groan. The guy was finally waking up!

Cheng Yuan quickly brought a bowl of water, helped Cheng Xin to his feet, and fed him a little water. I have to say, Cheng Yuan is becoming more and more lovable.

“Why is it so wobbly? It’s almost making me dizzy.” Brother Chengxin was still not fully awake, and the first thing he said was this, and then he looked around for his glasses.

Cheng Xinyuan had already carefully packed up the glasses for Cheng Xinyuan. When she saw him looking for his glasses, she quickly took out the glasses and put them on him. I looked at it and said, “Where did you get dizzy? You were already dizzy. This is clearly waking you up, okay?”

“I fainted?” Brother Chengxin put on his glasses and felt a little more awake. When I said that, he frowned, rubbed his forehead, and began to think carefully. Less than a minute later, Brother Chengxin’s expression suddenly became a little frightened.

He looked at me helplessly and said to me, “Chengyi, I think I had a horrible dream!”

“Ah?” I raised my eyebrows in confusion. What kind of horrible dream?

“I dreamed that I, a grown man, became ‘sweet and delicate,’ and I even called you Brother Bai! I also fought a battle with the ghost Rakshasa!” Chengxin’s face was still in a state of shock, and he looked very pitiful.

“Haha…” The first to burst out laughing was Chengzhen, followed by Chengyuan and Ruyue.

Cheng Qing still wiped the lamp with concentration, and a smile appeared on his face. Lu Shan wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to do so, so he simply turned his head and pretended to look at Huigen and Jifeng rowing seriously. Tao Bai hid behind Lu Shan and smiled shyly.

I was sweating profusely, and I didn’t know how to explain to Brother Chengxin. Don’t look at Brother Chengxin’s gentle appearance. He is a gentle man to women, but in fact, he is quite a manly man. If I tell him that everything is true, will he trick the young fox out and strangle her to death?

I also got goose bumps when I thought of those few words from Brother Bai, so I just kept quiet! But Chengxin is a quick-witted person, and he could tell from everyone’s expressions that something was wrong! So he asked Chengyuan, “Chengyuan, you’re the most obedient girl. Tell me, what’s going on?”

As he spoke, I saw his mouth twitching a little, obviously unable to accept his own appearance.

“This… Brother Chengxin, actually I’ll tell you the truth. When you transform into a fox man, you are very handsome. That look is really killing gods and Buddhas, killing thousands of girls and seducing thousands of young women.” Chengyuan didn’t say anything, but Chengzhen said it out loud.

Chengxin suddenly went dumb, then stood up blankly and started walking around the cabin. I nervously watched Chengxin. Would he jump into the lake?

But Chengxin suddenly went crazy, first grabbing Chengqing by the arm: “Brother, shouldn’t you take care of your younger brother? Exchange your demon soul with mine!”

“Cheng Zhen, you should respect your brother, or else you’ll have to exchange your soul with mine?”

“Cheng Yuan…”

“Fine, you’re all ignoring me! You little fox, come out here!” Cheng Xin shouted in the cabin. Unfortunately, the little fox was probably sleeping and didn’t care about him at all. We are not yet capable of freely controlling the combined soul. Even I, when Silu was sleeping, couldn’t wake it up like this! Unless it was forcibly awakened using magic!

Cheng Xin’s neck veins were throbbing, and it looked like he was going to use magic to forcefully awaken him. I naturally couldn’t let him go on like that, so I grabbed Cheng Xin and said to him, “Cheng Xin, what you just did was purely an accident. It was the young fox’s dissatisfaction with the ghost Rakshasa’s provocation, and she wanted to compare her charm with it. That wasn’t a union of your souls! That was just the young fox’s will, not yours!”

At this point, I paused, forced back a smile, and said seriously, “People are originally female foxes. Can you make them act like male foxes? Besides, they haven’t treated you badly. They’re still very masculine, except that they’re a little more handsome and gentle! If they really are soulmates, your will will be dominant, and this situation won’t happen again.”

“Are you serious?” Chengxin finally accepted it a little.

“Of course it’s true. Although I don’t know what your specific soul-merging situation is like, I swear that my soul-merging with Silly Tiger is based on my will! Soul-merging is originally based on the will of the person. I’ve already passed it on to you. Don’t you know?” I really meant this very seriously, but I added in my heart, “At the end of the day, you’ll become a male fox, but after all, you’ll still be a male fox!”

“Huh…” Chengxin let out a long sigh.

But Xiao Chengqian was standing next to him, and suddenly he made a very serious Taoist salute, looking like a worshiper on Wednesday, and began to mutter, “Bless my ghost head to be female, female…”

Chengxin suddenly raised his eyebrows, and he was about to have another fit, but Xiao Chengqian didn’t give him a chance at all. He grabbed my collar and yelled at me, “Chen Chengyi, the soul-merging technique! You better tell me honestly what’s going on here!”

I was really speechless. Xiao Daxia didn’t care about the situation. I pulled his hand off my collar and said to him, “I was going to tell you, but I never got the chance. I’ll tell you now.”

The boat continued to sway on the water, and I began to tell Xiao Chengqian about the soul union. Strictly speaking, this is not only the secret technique of my family, but also the secret technique of Xiao Chengqian’s family. I have no need to hide it from Xiao Chengqian in his current situation!

Time passed by as I told my story, and after I felt the boat turn a big bend, I suddenly heard the monsoon say at the bow of the boat, “Chen Xiaogong, we’ve arrived.”

Arrived? I suddenly stood up! At this point, I had almost finished talking to Xiao Chengqian, and I didn’t care anymore. I ran up to the bow of the boat, and only then did I realize that after the boat had made a big turn, it seemed to have arrived at another location!

The originally calm and undisturbed expanse of water had disappeared, and in its place were a number of small islands and hills. These islands and hills were shrouded in mist, and it was not very clear what they were. The larger ones were not clearly visible, and the smaller ones were just rocks that could only be used by one or two people!

This scenery is beautiful, but it is also full of mystery. I saw that around these small islands and hills, there were many pillars, some thick, some thin, some with Taoist ritual instruments hanging from them, and some with complex patterns carved on them.

When I looked back, I realized that this was not the vast lake we had just seen. On the way here, there were also some indistinct objects floating sparsely, which looked like Daoist cushions floating on the water, swaying with the waves, and their positions were not fixed!

In addition, on the way here, there were already some rocks towering among them… Is this the truth?
