Chapter 43 Studying

When Mo Shan and his wife heard that Mo Hua had been introduced by Instructor Yan and had become a disciple of a master of formations, they were not happy.

Mo Shan had some concerns at first, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing to worry about.

Instructor Yan had taught at Tongxian Sect for many years and had a good reputation. Those who could be recommended by Instructor Yan were naturally of extraordinary status.

The Mo Shan family were just ordinary casual cultivators, with neither spiritual stones nor property, so they naturally did not have to suspect that others were plotting against them.

Moreover, they might not even meet a formation master of this status, so this was a rare opportunity.

Mo Hua was now learning formations, and he lived and ate at home. Liu Ruhua could see her son every day and cook for him, which made her even happier.

The next morning, after Mo Hua had a hearty breakfast prepared by Liu Ruhua, he set out for the Southeast Mountain to visit Mr. Zhuang to study.

This time, when Mo Hua arrived at the foot of the mountain, he followed the path and came to the bamboo gate. Only then did he discover that there was actually a plaque in front of the courtyard.

The plaque reads "Zuowangju". I don't know why I didn't see it yesterday.

Mo Hua entered Zuowangju. Mr. Zhuang was sitting by the pool bored, holding his chin with one hand and fishing with the other. The fishing rod was just a piece of green bamboo, and the fishing line was empty, without bait.

Mo Hua looked into the pool and found that there were not even any fish in the pool.

Mo Hua thought that Mr. Zhuang might have some deep meaning, and looked up at Mr. Zhuang again, and found that Mr. Zhuang was not even fishing at all, but just dozing off with his chin in his hand.

Fortunately, the old man saw Mo Hua yesterday, so he called Mo Hua aside and said:

"Mr. often dozes off. When he dozes off, just ignore him, and of course don't disturb him.

"Oh oh."

Mo Hua nodded in a dignified manner.

The old man said again: "I am the... housekeeper here, taking care of Mr. Zhuang's daily life, you can call me Kui Lao."

Mo Hua said politely: "Grandpa Kui. "

Kui Lao glanced at Mo Hua, but said nothing. He took out a chessboard and asked, "Do you know how to play chess?"

Mo Hua looked at the chessboard, "Is this five-element chess?"

There are many types of chess in the world of cultivation, including Bagua chess, five-element chess, Tianyuan chess, Sancai chess, etc. Five-element chess is the simplest and most popular one, mainly used to enlighten children in cultivation, so as to memorize the common sense of the five elements.

The way to play chess is very simple. Each side holds two types of chess pieces. Five-element chess pieces with different attributes will be randomly generated on the chessboard. They will be displayed after they are turned over. The chess pieces of your own five elements are stronger, and the chess pieces of each other's five elements can eat each other.

Simple, interesting and thought-free, it is an excellent game for cultivators and children.

It's nothing for Mo Hua to play five-element chess himself, but the old Kui Lao with a vicissitudes of life also plays...

Kui Lao seemed to see what Mo Hua was thinking, "Do you think five-element chess is too simple? "

Mo Hua hesitated for a moment, and said against his conscience: "The great way is to be simple, return to the original, the simpler things are, the more complicated they are."

Kui Lao was stunned, thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "This is a good reason, I will tell others the same thing next time I find someone to play chess with."

Mo Hua: "..."

So Mo Hua started to play chess with Kui Lao.

At first, Mo Hua thought that Kui Lao must be a master in this field, and he was very energetic, but after a few rounds, he found that Kui Lao and himself were evenly matched, and neither of them was worse than the other, so he lost his burden and played happily.

Unknowingly, it was noon, and Mo Hua remembered why he came here...

Mr. Zhuang took a rest by the pond while fishing. He slept for a whole morning. At this time, he opened his eyes, looked at the sun, and nodded, "It's time for lunch. ”

So Mo Hua, who had spent the whole morning playing chess and killing half a day, had another meal.

The meal was prepared by Old Kui, with meat, vegetables, and rice. It was full of spiritual energy, but the taste was hard to describe.

Looking at Old Kui, he really didn't look like a good cook.

But Mr. Zhuang didn't care. The five grains enter the stomach and turn into blood and qi. The senses of the mouth and stomach are all illusory. No matter how the food tastes, every chopstick and spoon is quiet and elegant, as if it is not grains, but the wind and dew between heaven and earth.

Mo Hua felt that Mr. Zhuang's posture was really decent and chic, and he was a little envious.

Mo Hua wanted to imitate Mr. Zhuang's appearance , eating slowly and elegantly with chopsticks, but still couldn't learn it, more or less a little awkward, finally just picked up the bowl and ate rice.

Although the food didn't taste very good, the ingredients were all excellent and contained spiritual energy, not to mention that Mo Hua was not very picky about food.

Old Kui watched Mo Hua eat sweetly and picked up a few pieces of meat for Mo Hua.

After the meal, Mr. Zhuang seemed to finally remember what Mo Hua was doing, so he led Mo Hua to a bamboo pavilion in the yard.

There was a breeze and waves of bamboo waves on all sides.

"I have accepted disciples before, but they learned differently from you, so it's not easy to generalize. Let me see how far you have learned the formation. "

Mr. Zhuang asked Mo Hua a few questions, and Mo Hua answered them one by one.

After Mo Hua finished answering, Mr. Zhuang pondered for a moment, took out a thick book, and pointed out to Mo Hua:

"Your knowledge of the formation theory of the formation is too weak, and what you have learned is basically some basic formation patterns, which are fragmentary and not comprehensive. With such an unstable foundation, it will be difficult to understand the more difficult formations later, and you will not go far in the field of formations. "

Mr. Zhuang handed the book to Mo Hua and said:

"You still have to start with the most basic things. Here are some basic array theories about arrays in the cultivation world. Different schools, different attributes, and different contexts are all included. You should memorize these first. If you can understand them, then understand them. If you can't understand them, ask me. When your foundation in array theory is solid, I will teach you to draw arrays."

Mo Hua took the thick array book and said, "Thank you, sir!"

Mr. Zhuang waved his hand, "You can find a comfortable place in the yard to read it. I want to close my eyes and rest."

Mo Hua said goodbye, then held the "Array Source Theory", found a shady grass under the tree, and lay on the soft grass to read it.

The "Source Theory" clearly states at the beginning that the ancient immortals looked up at the sky and looked down at the geography. They understood the way of heaven from the evolution of all things in the world, and manifested them into arrays. They imitated the operation of the way of heaven with the operation of arrays, so that they had unpredictable power.

Among all the cultivation professions, formation is the most direct and fundamental way to comprehend the Way of Heaven. It is also the most demanding cultivation category for spiritual consciousness.

Formation masters are divided into nine grades, and those above the ninth grade are immortals, called immortal formation masters.

However, immortal formation masters are just legends. In the past 20,000 years, no one has truly become an immortal, and naturally no one has become an immortal formation master. No one knows what the immortal formation that can change the world looks like.

Not only immortal formation masters, but even ninth-grade formation masters have no records. Eighth-grade formation masters are also legends. There are records of several sixth- and seventh-grade formation masters, all of whom are giants from aristocratic families, ancient sects, or Dao Ting Da Ge Lao. They are already unattainable cultivators.

After the fifth grade until the third grade, there are more records of some formation masters, and there are no records of lower grades. Obviously, unless the formation masters of lower grades have unprecedented innovations in formation, they are not qualified to be included in the book.

After recording the history of formations, some formation schools and various formation terminology are briefly analyzed.

The formation schools vary greatly from family to family, from sect to sect, and from region to region. Even the inheritance of the same formation may sometimes be subdivided into multiple small veins. The inheritance of different veins will have subtle differences in the learning, research, use and effectiveness of formations.

All major forces regard the core formations as secrets, and each studies and applies them, resulting in a situation in which the formations in the cultivation world are flourishing but each is self-contained.

The formations are divided into two-element formations, three-talent formations, four-image formations, five-element formations, six-combination formations, seven-star formations, eight-diagram formations, etc. The most widely circulated and used are the five-element formations and the eight-diagram formations. Other different formations also have their own uses.

…

Mo Hua spent most of the day flipping through the "Theory of the Origin of Formations". After reading it, he felt suddenly enlightened, but also felt more insignificant.

For Mo Hua, it is not easy to become a first-class formation master, let alone the seventh, eighth, ninth, or even immortal level. The formation is like the ocean, and Mo Hua, who is not even a first-class formation master, is now just a drop in the ocean.

There will be a test push tomorrow, hehe~(=^_^=)
