Chapter 4332 Taotie Plan

Zixu looked at the runes carved on the bronze tripod. All of this was the same as the formation diagram seen in the Dawn Villa. It was secretly tampered by someone with ulterior motives.

"What does Master mean by this?"

Xiao Yi studied the formation and thought there was no problem. The function of the formation was to suppress and weaken the power of the evil creatures in the bronze tripod, so that the evil creatures could never escape from it.

It was just that Zixu said there was a problem at this point. There must be some clues that he could not understand.

"The purpose of the formation is correct, but you have to know that this formation setting uses the four directions of Qingxuan Zhubai, corresponding to the positions of the eight trigrams. This formation is called the Four Symbols Seal."

The Four Symbols Seal is the simplest formation, and it is not difficult to set up, but this formation has a strongest point, that is, as the personnel who start the formation change, the power of the formation will increase.

In the simplest terms, if the person is weak, the effect of the formation will naturally be very weak, but if several masters join hands to set up the formation, the effect of the formation will be greatly enhanced.

Even four masters of the same level can cross the realm and kill opponents who are stronger than them. Of course, the prerequisite is that the opponent gives them time to set up the formation.

The use of the Four Symbols Seal means that there were at least four people setting up the formation at that time, and this idea is not wrong, but the problem lies here.

"For the Four Symbols Seal, a four-legged bronze tripod should be used. If you go over and look at the bottom of the bronze tripod, you will understand what I mean."

Xiao Yi approached the bronze tripod. On the three legs of the bronze tripod, runes were also engraved, and the corresponding positions were written, but one of the four positions was obviously missing.

When he turned to another place, Xiao Yi understood the reason. It was originally a four-legged bronze tripod, but someone cut off one of them, and the four legs became three legs.

"Master, what is this..."

"It should be that after the formation was set up, someone turned back again, returned here, and cut off one of the legs of the bronze tripod."

Zixu explained that if the bronze tripod was intact, the evil things inside would not spread their power like this, making this place like a purgatory on earth. This is a conspiracy.

"Why did he do this? Since he sealed this thing, he still wanted to destroy the formation."

"Hehe...the reason is very simple."

Zixu turned and looked at the bronze tripod. Although the evil things in the bronze tripod did not have the power to break the seal here, he could already know what it was.

"That person didn't want the soul of this thing to be destroyed. He cut off one of the legs of the bronze tripod, causing the four-symbol seal to be incomplete. In this way, the soul of that thing will continue to exist instead of completely disappearing."

"You mean..."

"What is sealed here is the soul of Taotie."

Zixu gave the answer. Yes, the bronze tripod contains the soul of the ancient beast, Taotie.

What Xiao Yi saw in the cave before was the essence and blood extracted from Taotie. What was sealed in the lake was the flesh of Taotie, and what was in the bronze tripod, the three originally came from one body.

It can be imagined that a few hundred years ago, several powerful people in China joined forces to defeat Taotie. They defeated Taotie, perhaps because Taotie was a disaster to the world and all living things were suffering.

Of course, there was another purpose, otherwise these people would not have thought of extracting the essence and blood of Taotie, separating the flesh and soul of Taotie, and storing them in three places after defeating Taotie.

Taotie's flesh was suppressed in the lake, the soul was stored in the bronze tripod, and the essence and blood were put into the bronze box. Xiao Yi had seen that the essence and blood in the bronze box had been stolen.

"It seems that the person who secretly made the move intends to integrate the powerful power of Taotie into his body and make it a part of him."

"Can such a thing be done?"

"There is nothing they can't do, only what you can't think of."

Zixu told Xiao Yi that there is such a skill that can store the power of the beast in his body and use it for him.

It's just that being able to achieve this level is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, and in the process of this fusion, if there is an accident, it is very likely that he will be swallowed by the beast.

This is a bet. If it succeeds, there will be unlimited prospects. If it fails, the end is to fall. This world is fair. If you want to get something, you will definitely pay the corresponding price.

Xiao Yi understood the truth of this, and at this moment, an idea came into his mind. He would never allow the soul of Taotie in the bronze tripod to escape, nor would he let this disaster fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives.

The only way is to use force to crush the Taotie's soul. Only in this way can this conspiracy be disintegrated. Xiao Yi thought of this and took a few steps forward.

He stepped on a stone slab. As Xiao Yi moved his feet, runes lit up on the stone slab. The runes were like lights on high-rise buildings in the city at night. A series of runes appeared around the pool.

"Be careful!"

Zixu issued a warning. Xiao Yi also sensed the danger at this moment and hurriedly dodged to the side.

Several iron chains shot towards Xiao Yi from the positions of the four formations, intending to trap Xiao Yi in them. Xiao Yi sensed the danger and dodged in time, but the chains followed him.

Inadvertently, the chain hit Xiao Yi's body. At this moment, his arm seemed to fall with a force of a thousand pounds, making his arm unable to move freely and imprisoning his strength.

"This iron chain is not ordinary!"

Xiao Yi exclaimed. He accidentally triggered the restriction here. The formation regarded Xiao Yi as an intruder and launched an attack.

Such a formation arrangement is certainly not that simple. It must be blessed in this place. If you approach it easily, it will trigger the formation to kill the intruder.

"The iron chain has the power of the Four Symbols Seal. Although so many years have passed, don't underestimate this power. This matter is not something you can intervene in. Don't take risks."

Zixu warned Xiao Yi that he wanted to end it all, but once this conspiracy started, it was not so easy to stop.

"The spirit of this Taotie has been suppressed in the bronze tripod. After hundreds of years, its power has not been wiped out. You can imagine how powerful it is. It is not something you can do."

"Are you...are you just going to watch it?"

"There is no other way. Find a way to leave the Four Symbols Seal first. We will take a long-term view on this matter."
