Setting up a formation with bamboo strips

Senior Brother Zhou was still complaining to Shuhang: "Just like yesterday, after Doudou handed me the phone, it went in with the little monk to have his hemorrhoid surgery. But after a long time, when I saw that they still hadn't come out, I went over to ask and found out that Doudou and the little monk had already left... I failed to keep an eye on it again."

But there's absolutely no way around it.

Doudou's ability to run away from home is at the EX level; even True Lord Yellow Mountain couldn't defend against it. Zhou Li, who's responsible for dealing with Doudou's troubles, is Doudou's biggest loser, having suffered 109 consecutive defeats against her.

"Anyway, I'll find Doudou as soon as possible. I'll contact you first. Then, I'll arrange for someone to handle your traffic accident, don't worry." Zhou Li said, regaining his spirits.

He's a man who's lost a hundred battles, and lost a hundred battles. Even the most devastating defeat can be quickly recovered from—because he has plenty of experience in self-comfort and psychological manipulation...

Song Shuhang suddenly felt a deep sense of apology towards Senior Brother Zhou, and whenever he thought of Senior Brother Zhou's ＠＃％×Fairy- like girlfriend, whose appearance he didn't even know, he felt heartbroken for Zhou Li.

"Go for it, Senior Brother Zhou. Once you find Doudou this time, I'll definitely keep a close eye on it. I can't say for sure how long, but at least for the next week, I absolutely won't let it cause any trouble!" Song Shuhang promised.

On the other end of the phone, one could almost hear Senior Brother Zhou's happy, choked-up voice.

After hanging up the phone, Song Shuhang let out a long sigh—neither Doudou nor the little monk were easy to deal with.

"Doudou ran away again?" Soft Feather asked.

"Yes, and he even ran away with little Guoguo. Little Guoguo is a new disciple of Master Profound Principle. Some time ago... because he needed treatment for hemorrhoids, he secretly ran away from 'World's End Wandering Temple' and ended up here with me. Later, Senior Brother Three Days entrusted me to take good care of him." Song Shuhang rubbed his temples vigorously. "I thought this little guy, with his serious and cute appearance, would be someone who wouldn't cause trouble, but it turns out he's even more mischievous than Doudou."

"Hehe, hehe." Soft Feather chuckled dryly—tears welled up inside her; she, too, had secretly run away from home.

Actually, Song Shuhang's problem wasn't just about 'Doudou kidnapping the little monk,' but also about who would handle Senior White's matter if Senior Brother Zhou didn't come.

He had promised Mom Song that he would wake Senior White up for lunch today—he had originally planned to wait for Senior Brother Zhou to come over, and then use some illusion magic to impersonate Senior White.

Now, Senior Brother Zhou has gone after Doudou and the little monk.

Not only that, but when Senior White goes into seclusion, there is a high chance that 'Passionate Desert and Young Man in Blue with a White Horse' will appear. In case of any accidents, he originally wanted to ask Senior Brother Zhou to set up a defensive formation in his room.

My head hurts!

Senior Song looks very troubled... Does a family member running away from home cause parents this much distress? If I secretly ran away, would my father be this distressed too? Soft Feather secretly patted her chest, feeling quite guilty. Should she apologize to her father when she gets back?

At this moment, Song Shuhang suddenly slapped his head. "Idiot!"

He looked at Soft Feather and asked expectantly, "Soft Feather, do you know how to set up defensive formations?"

I remember Soft Feather also knew how to set up formations. When he first went with Soft Feather to Luoxin District to catch Spirit Ghost, Soft Feather used some silver sticks and ropes made of talismans to set up a defensive formation.

"I can set up defensive formations, but there are many types of defensive formations, and their defensive strengths vary. What type of defensive formation does Senior Song want? What will it be used to defend against?" Soft Feather asked.

"The defensive strength shouldn't be too high, since the main defense isn't against external enemies." As Song Shuhang said this, he secretly glanced at Senior White... Although Venerable White Senior White in seclusion, no one could guarantee that he hadn't completely cut off his senses from the outside world. It was only a two-day seclusion; perhaps Senior White still retained his hearing?

So, Song Shuhang silently took out his phone and sent a private message to Soft Feather.

He briefly described how Senior White accidentally created a 'Real Illusion' during his cultivation, and then the desert, the White Horse, and the Young Man in Blue caused him trouble.

Then, Soft Feather was reminded that because there was a defensive formation set up by the senior Medicine Master in the Medicine Master's building, the 'Real Illusion' of Venerable White was confined within the Medicine Master's building at that time.

Therefore, Song Shuhang wanted to try setting up a defensive formation in his room. The defensive power was not important; what was important was to block the 'True Illusion' that Senior White had accidentally revealed.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable—knowing that Song Shuhang's family members are just ordinary people, what would happen if they were drawn into Real Illusion?

Tomorrow's headlines in Wenzhou City will definitely be: College student commits heinous crime, brutally murders his parents, and then proceeds to desecrate their corpses...

Upon seeing this, Soft Feather immediately replied on her phone, "Oh, that's easy. Senior White only accidentally revealed a small 'Real Illusion' during his seclusion. Just set up a small array on the bed. Watch me!"

His tone was full of confidence

After all, she had a father who was a "Venerable One" in her family, so she was no stranger to "Real Illusion". She also had experience in stopping "Real Illusion" that Venerable might inadvertently reveal.

Then, Soft Feather took out a pen made of demonic beast hair from her small pouch and asked, "Senior Song, do you have any talisman paper?"

"Talisman paper? Is A4 paper okay?" Song Shuhang asked—he had seen Senior White use A4 paper to make various talismans.

"..." Soft Feather: "Senior Song, please don't joke around. How can A4 paper be used as talisman paper?"

"Huh? It won't work?" Song Shuhang sighed inwardly. Sure enough... drawing runes on A4 paper was Venerable White's specialty.

After thinking for a moment, he took out an A4 sheet of paper from his pocket and handed it to Soft Feather. It was the A4 sheet of paper with the 'Invisibility Formation' that Senior White had previously pasted on the tractor. The other sheets for reinforcing the tractor and reducing gravity had already turned to ashes when the tractor burned down.

The array on this A4 paper might be useful for Soft Feather to refer to.

Soft Feather took the A4 paper, stared at it for a long time, and tentatively asked, "Is this the work of Senior Venerable White?"

"Yes, that's right." Song Shuhang nodded.

"As expected! Father once mentioned that in terms of 'array formations,' Venerable White is among the top three in the entire Cultivation World. He has indeed completely surpassed my understanding." Soft Feather carefully held the A4 sheet of paper and asked hopefully, "Senior Song, may I have this A4 sheet to study?"

"No problem, just take it if you want it," Song Shuhang replied.

"Thank you, Senior Song!" Soft Feather carefully put away the A4 paper.

Then she added, "If we don't have any talisman paper, we'll have to make do with what we have. A4 paper definitely won't work; my skill level isn't that high."

"What materials do you need?" Song Shuhang asked curiously.

"Hmm, let's go find some fresh bamboo strips. We can use them as talismans and borrow the wood-attribute energy from the fresh bamboo to set up a small wood-based defensive formation," Soft Feather replied.

Song Shuhang had initially thought he would need some kind of material like 'Lightning-Struck Wood,' which was hard to find. Now, hearing that all he needed was bamboo strips, he breathed a sigh of relief, "That's easy! I have some bamboo planted behind my house; I'll go cut one down."

"Then I'll go down and cut bamboo with you, senior." Soft Feather jumped off the bed and started putting on her sandals.

"Okay!" Song Shuhang.

He clasped his hands together, hoping that Senior White wouldn't unleash that 'Passionate Desert' at the crucial moment.

"Mom, Soft Feather and I are going downstairs to cut some bamboo to make something fun," Song Shuhang called out to his Mom Song in the living room.

"No problem, have fun! Don't play for too long, remember to come up for dinner later," Mom Song called out.

"Alright!" Song Shuhang chuckled.

He then took the 'Overlord Shatter Saber' from the living room and went downstairs with Soft Feather.

************************

On the other side.

Lü Tianyou and Old Lü also went to the hospital for a check-up— Dad Song had called them more than a dozen times, insisting that they go to the hospital for a physical examination.

According to Dad Song: "I, who was sitting in the back of the truck, was taken to the hospital for a check-up. Old Lü, you who caused this trouble, can't you not go to the hospital? How can that be? We may not be able to share the good times, but we must share the bad times."

So, Dad Song called every ten minutes or so, insisting that Old Lü and his son come to the hospital. As a result, Dad Song wasted a lot of money on phone calls.

At that moment, Lü Tianyou was driving Old Lü home.

He seemed somewhat distracted throughout the journey.

"Tianyou, what are you thinking about?" Old Lü Lu asked.

"I was thinking about Shuhang's tractor," Lü Tianyou replied, a straightforward man.

"Oh, that tractor is going really fast," Old Lü nodded.

Lü Tianyou smiled slightly—he was more concerned with the fact that the tractor was not only fast but also very stable. Moreover, the people sitting on it hardly felt any wind pressure.

Although he didn't know what technology or principle it was based on, he had a feeling that it might be something worth investing in.

I wonder if Song Shuhang's friend who modified the tractor actually managed to secure investment?

Assuming that Song Shuhang's friend hadn't secured investment yet, Lü Tianyou wouldn't mind investing his entire fortune to help Shuhang and his friend improve these technologies.

It's guaranteed to be a profit.

I arrived home quickly.

After parking the car, Lü Tianyou and his father headed upstairs to their home. On the way, he took out his phone and swiped through several chat apps to see if there was any news.

At that moment, something someone posted on their WeChat Moments caught his attention.
