Chapter 272 The maze is activated!
A week passed in a blink of an eye.
Qingfeng Temple, on the top of a gathering spirit pagoda, Guo Lin looked at the location of the mountain behind the Taoist temple.
Ma Tao was leading workers to transplant poplar trees in the forest, and he could still see the movement of the trees over there.
There are also transport helicopters from the Fujian Chamber of Commerce in the sky, cooperating to plant the transported poplar trees and hide them among the woods.
If there are any trees that hinder the planting of poplar trees, then naturally they are embarrassed and have to be cut down and eradicated directly.
The nine positions of the first-level maze have almost been transplanted.
It can be seen that the light shield covering Qingfeng Temple has dropped eight light beams. After these light beams spread out, they covered the area where the trees were transplanted.
Therefore, under the large mask, there are already 8 small masks.
Now, just waiting for Ma Tao to transplant the last 108 poplar trees, the maze layout will be completed.
When the time comes, just leave it to the game system to be modified.
According to the speed, it will be completed by noon.
Guo Lin looked at other places in Qingfeng Temple and could see a group of panting people holding empty mineral water bottles to fill the spiritual spring water around the spiritual spring tank reservoir.
After loading the water, they headed straight to the mountain road leading to another mountain, heading to the location of the locust tree forest.
Apparently they are all here for the treatment of hemorrhoids.
After a while, another person came up from the bottom of the mountain and surrounded the Lingquan vat.
This week has passed, although the heat in the locust forest has dropped, the number of tourists has also dropped, and there are no longer traffic jams in Youcheng, but there are still not a few tourists.
He also looked at the sect’s location information on the light screen in his mind:
The sect’s residence: Qingfengguan
Level: Level 7 sect residence.
Effects: Sturdy +7, Simplicity +2, Ornamental +2, Solemnity +2
Upgrade requirements: 1. 25.6 million merit money (163.825 million usable merit money!) 2. 32,000 wish value (72,681 available wish value!)
…
After this week, while the number of tourists arriving was terrifying, the increase in the sect’s strength every day was also terrifying.
The current willingness has completely overflowed, exceeding the upgrade requirements by tens of thousands.
This was also obtained in exchange for the locust horns from the locust tree forest.
After a week of crazy tourists, the number of locust trees in the locust tree forest has also been reduced. After a while, they may be bald.
Guo Lin walked down from the Spirit Gathering Pagoda and returned to the Taoist temple. Xuanyun hurried over: "Brother, I have something to report to you!"
"What's wrong?" Guo Lin asked.
Xuan Yun explained: "I went to the locust tree to check today. Someone left traces of coming up from the other side, and a branch of a locust tree was broken!"
"Are you sure?" Guo Lin frowned slightly.
What Xuanyun meant was that someone sneaked up to the top of the mountain, went to the locust tree forest and took away a locust tree branch.
However, this was also what he expected. People are greedy after all. It took a week to discover this, which was already very rare.
This is why he is looking forward to the maze.
Xuan Yun frowned and said, "Senior brother, although we at Qingfeng Temple don't care about some locust horns, we can't let this happen."
"Furthermore, if you steal a branch of locust tree, there is a lot of it, and the other party might get worse. Should we send someone to guard it?"
Guo Lin shook his head and said: "Who knows when the other party will come? No need to make everyone tired for Xiaoxiao, there will be a way to punish them soon."
Even if the thief is greedy, he can't come openly during the day. When Ma Tao's side is finished at noon, the maze will be activated.
Even if the other party comes at night, he has fallen into a trap.
Therefore, he didn't even want to use the fragments of the Evolution Bagua Disk.
Xuanyun didn't say anything more. He had unconditional trust in his senior brother.
If the senior brother says there is a way, then there must be a way.
Noon time came quickly.
System prompts also appeared in Guo Lin's mind:
[Congratulations, the first-level maze map has been laid out. Do you want to modify the plants? 】
"Yes!" Guo Lin did not hesitate.
As he made his choice, he could also see the first pillar of light falling from the light mask covering Qingfeng Temple, which was the mountain forest behind the Taoist temple.
…
In the forest behind the Taoist temple.
Ma Tao was completely relieved as he watched the last poplar tree being transplanted.
In a week, the task given by the Taoist Master was finally completed.
He also took out a walkie-talkie and said inside: "Brothers from the Fujian Chamber of Commerce, thank you for your hard work!"
"You're welcome, Chief Ma. This is what we should do." A response came from the transport helicopter above.
Are you kidding? Where did you work hard? After all, it was arranged by President Wu himself, and there was a bonus.
Ma Tao put down his phone and smiled.
People from the Fujian Chamber of Commerce are indeed easy to talk to. Naturally, he also knows why the other party is easy to talk to.
Then, he also said to the workers around him: "Okay, everyone has worked hard. Go back and drink some spiritual spring water and have a good rest in the afternoon. There will be other projects tomorrow."
These workers have been working on Qingfengguan since the county allocated funds for the mountain temple to now, and they are already very familiar with it now.
"Okay, Master Ma."
"Half a day off, thanks to Director Ma!"
"..."
These workers also responded with smiles on their faces, and each of them had a pious expression on their face.
They have been working at Qingfeng Temple for a long time, and they also know some of the magic of Qingfeng Temple, so they are in awe.
Also because of awe, they worked very hard, and with the spiritual spring water restoring their physical strength, they were really willing to keep working at Qingfengguan.
A group of people were chatting when they suddenly heard a clicking sound.
Ma Tao and the workers looked subconsciously and saw that the poplar trees they planted were growing at an incredible speed.
That's right, it's a speed visible to the naked eye!
The workers' mouths were open and their jaws dropped.
They watched helplessly as the poplar trees grew taller than the surrounding trees before they stopped.
Moreover, they also found that the bark and leaves of these poplar trees had obviously changed, becoming darker in color, more textured, and seemed to exude a metallic texture.
"This..." Ma Tao.
on the sky.
The pilots of the transport helicopters from the Fujian Chamber of Commerce also looked at the following scene in disbelief.
“Oh my gosh, that tree grows so fast!”
"Hurry up and record it. The president will give you a reward!"
"Damn it, I can't record, the device is interfered with."
"..."
At this time, Guo Lin had also turned into a phantom and emerged from the Taoist temple.
He was performing the Drunken Immortal Moon-Watching Step and arrived at a transplant location at an extremely fast speed, where he saw Ma Tao and the workers with dull faces.
He looked at the transplanted poplar trees, but they were completely different from what Ma Tao and the others saw. .
He could clearly see that the poplar trees were engraved with special lines, which were the maze patterns.
As the formation pattern was engraved, a special suction force was generated. He could feel the wood energy around him being quickly absorbed by the formation pattern, turning into special faint auras that wrapped around the poplar trees.
If people like Ma Tao could see this scene, they would be shocked by the dreamlike scene.
[Congratulations, the plant transformation of the first-level maze layout is completed. Will it activate the first-level protective maze? 】
"Yes!" Guo Lin chose yes without hesitation.
The next moment, the nine beams of light were seen completely falling from the sky, as if they had melted into those nine locations.
Guo Lin took out another pot of strong wine from the magic bag and poured it into his mouth. He used the Drunken Immortal Moon-Watching Step again, turned into a phantom and rushed towards the Taoist temple, and soon returned to the closet.
This will obviously take some time to activate the maze.
Fujian Chamber of Commerce.
President Wu and Zheng Nan also received the report quickly.
"President, it's just as we suspected." Zheng Nan said with a face full of surprise: "The helicopter pilot sent back the news that the trees they helped transplant had grown a lot taller in the blink of an eye!"
"Don't let them talk about this outside." President Wu also ordered with emotion on his face.
Sure enough, something magical happened at Qingfengguan.
Youcheng.
In a hotel.
Three figures sneaked into a room. There was already a man waiting inside, and they saw that the other man had placed three stacks of money on the bed.
That one stack is 10,000, and the third stack is 30,000.
When the three people who entered the door saw the money, their eyes lit up: "Brother Ma Yi, have you become rich? You specially asked us to come here. If you have any good projects, please tell me?"
They don't have any jobs, they usually just hang out, and now they are penniless.
This time Ma Yi was called over, naturally for the opportunity to make a fortune. As long as he could make money, he would do anything.
Na Ma Yi took the three stacks of money on the bed and said: "Xiao Liao, Xiao Hai, Xiao Cai, this time they really did something. Have you seen the 30,000? It was done in one night."
The three people's eyes brightened when they heard this.
Xiao Liao hurriedly asked: "Brother Ma Yi, tell me, how do you make money?"
Ma Yi asked: "Do you know the Huaijiao in Qingfeng Temple?"
"Of course I know, it's very popular these days." Xiaohai nodded: "I heard that a bunch costs 1,000 yuan."
Ma Yi nodded and said, "Yes, I got the money from selling locust horns. I secretly went up to the mountain in Qingfengguan and broke off a small branch of the locust horns, and that's all I sold."
"If we can make a big move and put a few sacks in them, 1,000 a bunch, how much money can you think of we can make?"
When the three heard this, they immediately started calculating.
One string is 1,000, 10 strings is 10,000, 100 strings is 100,000, and 1,000 strings is 1 million.
A few sacks will definitely make you rich.
Xiao Cai asked with some confusion: "Brother Ma Yi, I heard that there is something evil in Qingfeng Temple! It seems that there is really some kind of immortal."
"That's nonsense." Ma Yi said disdainfully: "There is such a thing as a god. How can I go up there and safely steal the locust tree corner? It has been left there a long time ago."
Xiao Liao asked doubtfully: "Brother Ma Yi, is there no one guarding it? A string of locust horns costs so much."
Ma Yi mocked: "The people at Qingfengguan think that if they make up some ridiculous things, no one will dare to go up there? There is no one guarding at all, and I have already made the journey."
"This is the wealth that God has given us. Let's go and do something about it first. Believe me, others will be eyeing these locust trees soon. By then, we won't even be able to drink the soup."
After hearing this, the three people no longer hesitated.
Done.
There is nothing more terrible than being poor and having no money to eat.
Besides, Brother Ma Yi said it was nothing.
After deciding, the four of them also left the hotel and headed directly towards Qingfeng Mountain.
…
Time passed until night fell, and Guo Lin received the game prompt again:
[Congratulations, the first-level guardian sect maze has been successfully activated. The maze has been activated. Please check the sect station information and control it yourself! 】
[The martial arts station is being upgraded...]
Guo Lin also smiled after looking at the two game prompts. The maze was finally activated, and after the additional conditions were met, the sect's station also began to upgrade to level 8.
Guo Lin immediately looked at the sect's station information, and sure enough, there was information about a level 1 maze, as well as related control methods.
The maze has been activated, but it is currently inactive and requires him to manually activate it.
Moreover, this level of maze also has several functions.
One function is that after it is turned on, no one can enter.
Once affected by the fog, it will have the same effect as a ghost hitting a wall, making people trapped in a maze and unable to get out.
Naturally, this maze is very flexible. It can also be set to allow adults to enter the maze and be affected. After a while, they will come back from the position they entered.
Anyway, no one can enter the place protected by the maze.
It's just that when he activates it, he has to choose between trapping people directly or driving out those who enter.
Another setting is interesting, it is obviously specially set for Qingfengguan, that is, you can set the piety level or provide the wish value.
This function is more interesting.
For example, if he sets a piety level of 3, then those who reach a piety level of 3 will not be affected by the maze and can enter and exit the maze freely.
Another example is if it is set to provide 2 points of will power, then the person who provides 2 points of will power will not be affected by the maze.
Those who fail to meet the requirements will be trapped or blocked by the maze.
Naturally, these two conditions can also be set at the same time.
It's just fun anyway.
This can be used in special ceremonies or activities. It can be used to test and distinguish believers. It is definitely a very practical function.
Naturally, under normal circumstances, just use the first function, either to be trapped or to enter and exit in place.
In addition to these two different function settings, within the scope of Qingfengguan, the range of the maze array can also be controlled.
For example, there is nothing in the mountains and forests, so there is no need to activate the maze in those areas.
Now, the only things that need protection at night are the main body of Qingfeng Temple, the Seven Sage Ancient Trees, the Mountain Temple, and the Sophora grove.
So, he also started operating.
After a while, I saw that these places on the virtual shadow of the array began to light up with blue light, and there were blue rays of light flowing on it.
If someone is in the sky at this time and can still see it at night, they will definitely find that the dense mist condensed in Taoist temples, mountain temples, or locust trees has begun to flow, just like the traces of blue light flowing in the shadow of the array. .
This is when the maze effect in several places was activated, and the surrounding mist was affected.
Guo Lin looked at the last function, which was the exclusive function. Only Qingfengguan's own people could enter and exit without being affected.
All it takes is an identity tag, a drop of blood, and the aura remains, and the people in the Taoist temple will not be affected by the maze and avoid accidental injuries.
Guo Lin actually wanted to make some identity cards, at least for people like Xie Qingyang and Xuan Yun.
Thinking about it, he also took out a special piece of hardwood, a knife and a talisman pen, and started making it.
In the dark night.
However, four figures sneakily groped out from the forest of Qingfeng Mountain and reached the top of the mountain where the locust tree forest was located.
It was Ma Yi, Xiao Liao, Xiao Hai and Xiao Cai.
They had already gone up the mountain during the day, and then took advantage of the crowd to reach the top of the mountain, and then quietly hid in the forest.
"Brother Ma Yi, as you said, no one is guarding us."
"Yeah, it's all just to scare people, but there are still people who really think there are gods in Qingfeng Temple!"
"If that's the case, you should have expected us to come and blocked us here, right? Haha!"
"..."
A few people had already taken out the sacks while talking and laughing.
They were not frightened by the deceptive tricks of Qingfengguan. They deserved to be rich and prosperous today.
"Let's go in here. I'm afraid they won't even know we've been here tomorrow." Ma Yi said and walked towards the place he had visited before.
Xiao Liao, Xiao Hai, and Xiao Cai followed immediately.
The four people soon saw the locust tree forest, and their faces were filled with joy.
"Let's go!" Ma Yi led people directly towards a locust tree.
But after running a few steps, the four people suddenly stopped in place, with a look of astonishment on their faces.
Using the dim light of the flashlight, they saw waves of mist crazily filling the surroundings, covering them in an instant.
