Asking about longevity

Hidden Formation Pavilion, in front of the shrine.

The incense has burned out and the ashes remain.

Bai Zixi and Bai Zisheng guarded Mo Hua's "out-of-body" body, feeling a little worried.

"The time is up, why hasn't Mo Hua woke up yet?" Bai Zisheng asked worriedly.

Bai Zixi also frowned.

At this moment, "Mo Hua" murmured and opened his eyes.

Bai Zixi and Bai Zisheng looked happy.

Bai Zixi asked softly: "Are you okay..."

"Mo Hua"'s eyes were confused for a while, then he gradually woke up, slowly sat up, nodded, and said with a smile:

"I'm fine."

"Mo Hua" smiled, but Bai Zixi's eyes turned cold, and he immediately hit "Mo Hua" on the back of the head with a knife, knocking him out.

Bai Zisheng was shocked, "Zixi! Why did you attack Mo Hua?"

Bai Zixi shook his head, "There's something wrong with him."

"Something's wrong?"

Bai Zisheng was startled, then looked at the ink painting carefully, his brows gradually furrowed, and he also discovered some clues.

The atmosphere of "ink painting" has changed...

His face is not as cute as before.

Shicai's smile was also a bit inconsistent.

This is not his junior brother.

Bai Zisheng remembered some of Mo Hua's instructions a long time ago:

"When you find something wrong with me, knock me out immediately!"

Bai Zisheng nodded slightly and asked doubtfully: "Evil spirits are invading the sea of ​​consciousness?"

"possible……"

"That's not right...how can there be evil spirits in the shrine?"

Bai Zixi shook his head, "I don't know..."

"What about ink paintings?"

Bai Zixi turned her head and stared at the shrine, her eyes like glass were somewhat profound.

Bai Zisheng opened his mouth, "You can't be still in there..."

He was a little anxious, "The incense has been burned and the shrine is closed. Junior brother... how can he come out?"

"How about..." Bai Zisheng frowned and thought, "We go to the great elder and ask him to burn another incense, open the shrine, and release the junior brother?"

Bai Zixi shook his head slowly, "No."

The shrine involves the core inheritance of the Five Elements Sect, and the great elder will definitely disagree.

The junior brother will be locked inside, and he must have discovered the secret of the shrine...

Otherwise, with his cleverness, it would be impossible for him to get out.

"Let's wait." Bai Zixi said calmly.

Bai Zisheng was a little worried, "But the time has come..."

Bai Zixi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her thoughts turning rapidly, "The time has come, but the Great Elder didn't come. It must be that Master has figured out something unexpected and delayed the Great Elder."

"Master is buying time for my junior brother."

"Let's wait here, guard our junior brother, and wait for him to come out..."

Bai Zixi's voice was clear and calm.

Bai Zisheng always listened to his sister's words and knew that her sister was smarter than him, so he nodded obediently.

…

In the sea of ​​consciousness of ink painting.

The Five Elements kid jumped in anger.

"what happened?"

"How did I find out?"

But as soon as he said two words and smiled, he was noticed, and then he was decisively knocked unconscious...

Why?

That little girl, why can you tell at a glance that she is a fake?

Even if they are fellow apprentices who live together day and night, it is impossible to tell them at a glance...

A bit evil...

The Five Elements Imp is afraid.

This sect, from top to bottom, from junior brother to senior sister, is indeed not a good person. Not only are they good in character and have high understanding, they also have the exquisite seven orifices in their hearts.

If this continues, I won't be able to run away...

It has no intention of occupying Mo Hua's body forever, because this is simply impossible.

This kid's master has a terrible origin.

This little bit of information about yourself will be seen through at a glance.

It just wanted to use Mo Hua's body to escape from the shrine and the Tibetan Formation Pavilion.

But it never expected that before this kid's master could expose him, his little senior sister would see through it.

The Five Elements Imp is very puzzling.

He pretended to be a preacher elder, but this young monk saw through it.

He pretended to be this young monk, but his senior sister saw through it again.

Are your acting skills really that bad?

The Five Elements kid frowned, feeling irritated.

Now it's riding a tiger and it's hard to get off.

Trapped in the sea of ​​ink painting consciousness.

If you want to leave, you can't leave. If you want to stay, you definitely can't stay.

It doesn't think it can really hide the truth.

If you can leave, you still have to leave. Let's find a way...

The Five Elements kid sat down cross-legged, looked around again, and couldn't help but marvel:

"This kid's sea of ​​consciousness is truly a paradise. It is broad, tenacious, and has a clear aura. Even though his spiritual thoughts are out of his body, the remaining spiritual consciousness is extremely pure and deep..."

"This is not a Qi Refining monk. The sea of ​​consciousness he can possess...is comparable to that of a foundation building, no, even far better than an ordinary foundation building..."

"He is indeed a little monster..."

The Five Elements kid shook his head.

Suddenly its expression changed.

No, that's not right!

There is something wrong with this sea of ​​consciousness!

It sniffed the scent and its pupils trembled.

The atmosphere of the avenue!

This is... the breath of the great avenue that is closer to the origin than the breath of the Five Elements!

There is something ancient and terrifying hidden in this kid's sea of ​​consciousness!

A trace of greed flashed in the kid's eyes, but then it turned into deep fear.

It has lived in the shrine for hundreds of years, and has seen countless evolutions of formations. There is a hint of warning about the secret of heaven.

The warning sign at this time made him panic inexplicably.

It seems that if I stay here any longer, once something "wakes up" in the middle of the night, that simple and powerful aura of the avenue will grind me into ashes bit by bit, completely eradicate me, and I will never be reincarnated!

The Five Elements Imp was trembling all over and his limbs were weak.

"It's finished, I'm going to die!"

"We must find a way to escape quickly!"

"If you don't run, it will be over..."

Although this was an opportunity, it was obvious that I was not worthy of it.

The Five Elements kid forced himself to calm down.

fine……

There's still time...

Later, I control the little monk's physical body. As long as I can move, I will immediately run out, run out of the Hidden Formation Pavilion, find a monk from the Five Elements Sect to be a parasite, and completely escape from this terrible sea of ​​consciousness.

As long as you go out, the sky will be high and the sea will be vast.

Not being confined in a shrine, he could still feed on the monks' spiritual thoughts and live a carefree life.

As long as you eat enough, your spiritual thoughts are strong enough, and you can digest the energy of the five elements, you will one day be able to achieve enlightenment.

He can even ascend to the position of demon or evil god...

The Five Elements kid calmed down, his eyes full of ambition.

…

At this moment, inside the shrine, inside the real dojo.

After a piece of heaven and earth hangs upside down, everything is turned upside down.

Mo Hua opened his eyes and regained his consciousness.

The dojo was still there before me, but everything was different.

The surrounding woodcarvings and clay sculptures seemed to have turned into living beings, each of them mechanically, meticulously, and following certain rules, constantly drawing patterns.

All the decorations in the shrine, spiritual beasts, chariots and horses, exotic flowers and plants, carved beams and painted pillars, all kinds of magic weapons...

They all faded away, revealing the formation inside.

All kinds of appearances, inner formations.

Everything is false, only the formation is true.

Mo Hua was both shocked and confused:

"This is the inheritance dojo of the Five Elements Sect?"

Is that Five Elements brat lying to himself?

There is indeed a dojo, but is there really the true inheritance of the Five Elements Sect in it?

What is the true inheritance of the Five Elements Sect?

A formation rarer than the Five Elements Absolute Formation?

Probably not...

Ink painting is a bit confused.

And that little Five Elements kid tricked himself in and trapped him here because he wanted to escape from the shrine?

How do I get out?

There seemed to be no exits around the dojo.

Two hours have passed, and I don’t know what happened outside the shrine...

Mo Hua was full of thoughts. After a moment, he shook his head and calmed down.

There is no point worrying about these things now.

They come, the security.

First we need to find out the details of the dojo.

Mo Hua began to let go of his consciousness and looked at the dojo carefully, wanting to see if this dojo was a real "inherited" dojo, and whether there really was the true inheritance of the Five Elements Sect in it...

After some investigation, Mo Hua thought thoughtfully:

First of all, there is no one in this inheritance dojo.

In other words, there is no "living" spiritual thought, spiritual consciousness, or even sneakiness.

Although the wooden sculptures of the array masters around them looked like living people, constantly drawing formations, they were still just wooden sculptures, or in other words, more like puppets.

The formations they drew were of many types, but they were all five-element formations.

The patterns drawn are rigid and rigorous.

Mo Hua stared at them for a moment, his eyes slightly doubtful:

"It's not so much that they are drawing formations..."

"Rather, they are recording formations..."

"Meticulously record the process of drawing the formation..."

Mo Hua looked at the formation patterns they drew again, and his expression was even more puzzled.

Although these formation patterns are within the scope of the Five Elements, they are different from the standard formation patterns. They seem to have been specially processed, evolved little by little, and finally summarized...

In addition to the formations drawn by the wood carving master, the entire dojo, every scene and thing around it, including the large formation plate in the center of the dojo, is filled with this kind of special formations.

It is this kind of "inductive" formation pattern.

Mo Hua frowned.

What formation is this?

Or maybe the formation is not the key, but the "inductive" method is the key?

The ink painting was done again carefully, looking at each one one by one.

At this sight, he was shocked.

He found that there were many formations here that he couldn't understand at all.

Because these formations are not first-grade formations at all!

It is a formation of second grade, third grade, or even above third grade!

These formations contain formations with more complex strokes, thicker strokes, and more obscure strokes, and the number of formations is much greater than that of the first-grade formations.

I only glanced at the ink painting for a few times, and after a little reflection, I felt my consciousness pouring out like water.

Mo Hua felt awe-inspiring in his heart, and quickly guarded his mind, warning himself:

"Don't be too ambitious, don't be too ambitious..."

After his mind calmed down and his consciousness was full, Mo Hua continued to look at it, but this time he had the self-knowledge and specifically selected the first-grade formation to look at.

He is a master of the Five Elements Formation, and is very familiar with ink painting.

His understanding of the Five Elements Array is also very profound.

So it doesn't look like much effort.

Mo Hua carefully considered the two aspects of the Five Elements Formation he had mastered, the Five Elements Formation he had understood, and the special and modified Five Elements Formation in the dojo.

Over and over again, I watched the wood carving master’s technique of painting the formation...

To figure out the extension of the same formation, the evolution of the formation pattern...

I don't know how long it took, Mo Hua was suddenly stunned, then suddenly realized, and lost his voice:

"Could this be...calculation?!"

It is different from the divine consciousness calculation that Master taught me. This is a completely different calculation method!

What his master taught him was to calculate spiritual traces through formation patterns, and to deduce the more essential spiritual power trajectory when the formation is running.

Conversely, specific formation patterns can also be calculated through the magic traces of formations.

The former goes from the outside to the inside to deepen the understanding of the formation;

The latter can see the true formation pattern from the inside to the outside.

But the calculation method in the Five Elements Sect's inheritance dojo is completely different.

What it calculates does not seem to be the relationship between formation patterns and spiritual traces.

Rather, it is simply the inductive calculation of formation changes and formation variations.

From the complex to the simple, from two to one, to deepen the understanding of the commonalities between different formations and patterns.

The ink painting suddenly became enlightened.

Could this calculation method be the true inheritance of the Five Elements Sect?

Although I know only a little about ink painting, I still think it is very profound and remarkable.

This is a calculation...

Must learn!

As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.

Formation is "fish", and calculation is "fishing".

If you learn to calculate, you can better learn and understand formations.

Mo Hua's eyes lit up.

Special calculation method!

It is worthy of being a first-class formation sect with a long tradition!

Mo Hua was excited.

But then he had some difficulties. How should he learn this calculation method?

Mo Hua let go of his consciousness again and searched the dojo up and down, inside and outside.

In the dojo, there are only formations and no other methods similar to inheritance.

There are no such things as secret books, classics, texts, and experiences.

Mo Hua held his chin again and began to think:

Judging from various previous deeds, the ancestors of the Five Elements Sect were a bit old-fashioned, a bit stubborn, and a bit obscure in their work.

They don't like to teach directly, but like to simplify the complex.

I don’t like words and prefer direct demonstrations.

"Demo..."

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, and he looked around at the wood carving master who was drawing formations all the time, and then he realized something.

These wood carving masters are demonstrating.

What is demonstrated is this kind of calculation, how to calculate it.

Step by step, from low to high, from easy to difficult, from basic formation patterns to overlapping, gradually deriving, changing, and integrating...

it means……

See for yourself, learn for yourself.

Learn as much as you can.

If you can understand something, then you understand it.

What others say is not yours; only what you understand is more thorough.

Mo Hua sighed in his heart.

The ancestors of the Five Elements Sect indeed had the demeanor of a master!

Without further ado, Mo Hua looked at the wood carving and painting formations, summarized them on his own, and learned the special calculation method of the Five Elements Sect.

There are more than one formations for wood carvings and paintings.

But you can only learn one level of ink painting.

Don’t be greedy when it comes to ink painting. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Learn one level first, and then talk about higher levels later.

You have to eat one bite at a time, as much as you can eat...

In the dojo, time passes little by little.

Concentrate on the ink painting, immerse yourself in it, and follow the movements of the wood carving machinery, bit by bit, to learn the calculation method of the Five Elements Sect.

The formation patterns, one after another, were calculated and transformed in his mind...

I don't know how long it took, but Mo Hua finally figured out the secret.

Mo Hua also tried to calculate a few formation patterns on his own, and then compared them with the formation patterns on the dojo. He found that there were no errors, and then nodded with satisfaction.

He has a strong spiritual consciousness, and he has the calculation method taught by Mr. Zhuang as his foundation. He can just play around and calculate formations, large formations, and ultimate formations. He is extremely proficient in calculations...

Although the calculation method of the Five Elements Sect is special, it is not particularly difficult.

I also learned ink painting very quickly.

As far as the calculations of the first-grade formations are concerned, I have learned a lot, and there are still some flaws. I will just slowly hone and understand them in the future.

Mo Hua had bright eyes.

Special calculation method!

Although the Five Elements kid deceived himself, he did not lie to himself. There is indeed a higher formation inheritance in this dojo!

Learning this kind of calculation is a worthwhile trip.

Mo Hua nodded.

Immediately, he couldn't help but become curious:

What exactly is this kind of calculation used for?

What use can these evolving formations have?

Apply what you have learned...if you can’t use it, what do you do with it?

Mo Hua held his chin, lost in thought:

"Did you miss something?"

Mo Hua went through this calculation carefully and thought about it from beginning to end:

Divine consciousness calculation, formation changes...

Summarize the complex, different five-element formations, different formation patterns, and unified variations into a unified, comprehensive formation...

Reduce complexity into simplicity, make many into one...

Then what?

To make everyone into one...one thing to know everything?

Mo Hua was startled for a moment, and then his mind was shaken as if he was struck by lightning.

One pass...Belden? !

Wouldn't that be... Immortal Formation Flow?

No, it should be called Five Elements Array?

Five elements array? !

Mo Hua's pupils trembled.

Then this kind of calculation, the kind of calculation I just learned, is the calculation method that summarizes the origin of the formation?

What Yan calculated was the formation flow?

Is the true inheritance of the Five Elements Sect a formation stream? !

Mo Hua opened his mouth, feeling extremely shocked.

He never expected it!

The ancestors of the Five Elements Sect were so ambitious!

They built this dojo to be likened to the Immortal Formation, intending to calculate it themselves and pass it on from generation to generation...the origin of the Five Elements Formation? !
