Chapter 63 Puzzle
"Array spirit curtain?"
Mr. Zhuang was also slightly surprised.
Mo Hua recalled the spirit curtain in his mind and described it in detail:
"The light blue spiritual power is like spiritual ink, and the interlaced pattern is like a formation pattern. The woven spirit curtain is like a whole array, but the spiritual power is flowing, and the formation pattern changes accordingly. Different arrays are presented on the spirit curtain."
"Interesting."
Mr. Zhuang's eyes lit up slightly, and then he took out a pen and paper and spread it on the table in front of him.
"Do you still remember those formation patterns? Draw a few for me to see."
"I remember some of the formation patterns, but those formation patterns will keep changing..." Mo Hua said truthfully.
"It doesn't matter," Mr. Zhuang said, "Just draw it according to what you see."
Mo Hua's little hand held the pen and touched the ink. The tip of the pen wandered on the paper, and soon several formation patterns appeared on the array paper.
Mr. Zhuang took a glance and said, "They all look like ordinary arrays, nothing special."
Mo Hua asked, "Have the predecessors who practiced this technique not encountered this situation before?"
Mr. Zhuang thought for a moment and said, "No, at least I have never heard of it."
Mr. Zhuang explained, "Even if it is the same technique, different practitioners may encounter different problems when practicing it, especially this kind of unpopular ancient technique, which has few inheritances and even fewer people practicing it. Once a problem is encountered, it is difficult to have any good precedents to refer to."
Mr. Zhuang pondered and said, "The technique shows that the bottleneck is in the spiritual consciousness. The previous practitioners The cultivator should also have a problem with his consciousness, but the problem should be different from yours, otherwise it would be impossible not to note it on the jade slip. It is related to the inheritance of the sect's internal skills. The seniors in the sect will not be selfish and will not tell you about it. "
Mo Hua frowned, "Then sir, what should I do? It seems that I can't practice now."
Mr. Zhuang smiled freely, "As long as it is about the formation, it doesn't matter," and then instructed: "Go back and write down the formation patterns and formations that appear on the spirit screen, and show them to me tomorrow."
"Okay, sir!"
Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought of what Mr. Zhuang said just now.
As long as it is about the formation, it doesn't matter?
What level of attainment has Mr. Zhuang's formation reached?
Isn't he already a third-grade formation master...
What kind of formation can a third-grade formation master draw?
Mo Hua had some yearning in his heart, but then he changed his mind and said:
"Forget it, I'd better not be too ambitious. Now it's still a long way to become a first-class formation master..."
Mo Hua put his mind in order, remembered Mr. Zhuang's instructions, and after returning home, he sank his consciousness into the sea of consciousness to observe the formation patterns and formations on the spiritual curtain in the sea of consciousness.
Mo Hua knew a lot of the formation patterns on the spiritual curtain, but he didn't know most of the formations. There were some unfamiliar formations that Mo Hua had never come into contact with, and it was impossible for him to remember them all at once. He had to practice on the stone tablet while watching, and when he was familiar with it, he exited the sea of consciousness and wrote the formation patterns on the formation paper.
This went on until midnight, when Mo Hua suddenly felt dizzy. He knew that he had used his consciousness a little too much, so he prepared to take a rest.
As soon as his mind relaxed, Mo Hua felt hungry, and then he realized that he was too absorbed in recording the formation patterns and didn't eat dinner.
"My parents should be asleep by now."
Mo Hua was a little worried, "I wonder if there is anything to eat at home."
Mo Hua stood up and was about to open the door, but found a small table next to the door. There were several bowls and plates on the table, and a large bowl upside down on it.
Mo Hua opened it and saw a small pot of white porridge, a plate of assorted side dishes, two steamed buns, and a small plate of braised beef.
The side dishes and meat were cold, the steamed buns were warm, but the porridge was still hot.
"It should be that my mother was worried that I didn't eat, and she didn't want to disturb me from learning the formation, so she put it at the door on purpose. And she heated it up again before going to bed, otherwise the porridge would have been cold long ago."
Mo Hua became happy, drank a mouthful of porridge, and felt warm all over.
After that, he ate the other food in a whirlwind, and the fatigue just now was swept away, and the whole person was refreshed.
Mo Hua reentered the sea of consciousness and continued to copy the array patterns on the spirit screen, and then copied the array patterns he remembered onto the array paper one by one.
It was not until the hour of Yin that his spiritual consciousness was exhausted for the second time, and then he put away the copied array paper and fell asleep soundly.
The next day, Mr. Zhuang looked at the array paper copied by Mo Hua, and his eyes slightly fixed:
"It's actually a puzzle array."
"Puzzle array?"
Mo Hua had never heard of it before.
Mr. Zhuang said patiently: "You know the riddles, right?"
Mo Hua nodded.
"This puzzle array is the same as the riddles, but it uses the array patterns as words and the array method as the puzzle surface to form a puzzle array. If you don't know the method, you naturally can't see through the truth." Mr. Zhuang explained.
"Oh." Mo Hua nodded.
"This was originally a toy used by some long-standing sects and families to help their disciples improve their intelligence and amuse themselves. It is no longer common now."
Mo Hua's expression became complicated when he thought of the intricate array pattern that gave him a headache.
Is this used to improve their intelligence and amuse themselves?
"If you can't solve it, does that mean you're stupid?" Mo Hua asked tactfully.
Mr. Zhuang saw through Mo Hua's thoughts and said with a smile: "Not really. Yours is a little harder, and not everyone can solve it."
Mo Hua felt that Mr. Zhuang was comforting him, but not to the point.
Not everyone can solve it, which probably means that many people can solve it, and there are probably not many who can't solve it.
But I can't solve it...
Since it's a puzzle, I have to solve it anyway. I still have to fight for this face!
Mo Hua couldn't help but ask, "Then how do you solve this puzzle?"
Mr. Zhuang habitually pointed at the bamboo chair with his finger, "Your situation is different from others. Others can't solve it, it's nothing more than a little depressed. Your puzzle involves cultivation. If you can't solve it, your cultivation will stagnate, and it will be a big trouble."
"There are two methods: one is to learn to solve it yourself, and the other is to write down all the array patterns, copy them out, and I will help you solve them."
"The second method is the fastest and most direct. After all, cultivation is the foundation of a cultivator. Without cultivation, everything is nonsense, let alone becoming a formation master; the first method requires you to learn it yourself. Although it is good for you to learn the formation, it takes a long time and delays your cultivation for a long time. It's up to you to choose."
After Mr. Zhuang said this, he looked at Mo Hua with interest.
Mo Hua was a little entangled.
For a cultivator, the consequences of stagnant cultivation are too serious. His cultivation is naturally inferior to that of the Bai brothers and sisters, or even those of the children of the big families, but among the casual cultivators of the same age in Tongxian City, he can barely be considered a "leader" - although he is also a leader among the thin.
If he spends too much time because of the bottleneck of the cultivation method, his cultivation will probably be the last.
Mo Hua thought about it and decided: "Sir, I choose the first one."
It is best to solve the problems that can be solved by yourself.
If the cultivation is a little behind, it is a little behind. The spiritual roots and cultivation methods are far behind others. The later you go, the more so. It is no different if you fall behind early or late.
People should not covet a temporary sense of superiority.
Moreover, if Mr. Zhuang is asked to help solve the bottleneck of the early stage of Qi Refining, what about the middle and even late stages of Qi Refining?
Mr. Zhuang cannot always be by his side, and he is only a nominal disciple of Mr. Zhuang, so he cannot trouble Mr. Zhuang for everything.
Finally, there is another reason, that is, the four words "educational entertainment" make Mo Hua very worried.
"Oh? Have you thought about it?"
Mr. Zhuang asked meaningfully.
Mo Hua nodded and said, "Disciple has thought about it."
Mr. Zhuang nodded and said, "I have some books and jade slips that explain the basics of the puzzle array. Take them and take a look. After reading, come to me and I will teach you how to solve the array."
Mo Hua took it solemnly and said, "Disciple, I'll take my leave."
Mr. Zhuang watched Mo Hua leave, his leisurely look faded, and his expression was a little solemn.
