Asking about longevity

Chapter 661: Matchmaker (Thank you, Mr. Xuan Chou for being the leader~)

"You don't believe me?" Cheng Mo said with an unhappy face.

Mo Hua looked solemnly, eating the buns in his hand politely, and said perfunctorily: "I believe..."

But he looked like one who couldn't believe it at first glance.

"Let me tell you, you may not know the dangers of the cultivation world. If you really fight, it will be a life and death fight..." Cheng Mo said.

"Yeah." Mo Hua's expression was still calm.

Cheng Mo sighed, "Why don't you understand?"

He snatched a bun from Mo Hua's hand, stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed it in a few times, and then continued:

"You are an formation master. Although an formation master is powerful, that is because in a sect or in a place under the control of the Dao Tingsi, everyone is harmonious, respects status, and respects face..."

Mo Hua's buns were robbed, and he looked a little unhappy.

Cheng Mo quickly gave Mo Hua the "chicken legs" in his bowl.

Mo Hua picked up the chicken legs, took two bites, and nodded with satisfaction.

Cheng Mo's eyes brightened slightly, and taking advantage of Mo Hua's good mood, he hurriedly said:

"Let me take you..."

"The array master's methods must be arranged in advance. Otherwise, hastily responding to the battle without adequate preparation will be very passive."

"If you are caught off guard, your life may be lost..."

"So, if the monks really want to fight and fight, the formation master will also have to hold his 'thigh'!"

"Oh..." Mo Hua gnawed on the chicken leg and blinked, "Then who is the thigh?"

Cheng Mo immediately patted his chest:

"me!"

"Let me tell you, my pair of big axes are inherited from the ancestors of the Cheng family. A god can kill a god, and a Buddha can kill a Buddha. Follow me, and I will show you my majesty!"

"You still have merit to earn..."

Mo Hua looked at him suspiciously, "Big man Cheng, do you have any ulterior motives?"

If nothing happens, take him on a mission and share the merit?

Is he really an idiot?

Cheng Mo sneered and said: "It's not... it's just..."

Cheng Mo looked around and lowered his voice:

"Let's make a deal, I'll take you on a mission, and you call me 'senior brother'!"

Mo Hua was speechless, "That's it?"

Cheng Mo said displeased: "What do you mean this? Do you understand the weight of the word 'senior brother'?"

Mo Hua shook his head.

Cheng Mo gritted his teeth.

It’s really like drought leads to drought and waterlogging leads to death.

Some people are in the midst of blessings and don’t know how blessed they are!

Cheng Mo said: "It is normal and polite to call fellow students 'senior brother and senior sister' to those who are in the first year of high school."

"Disciples of the same class can be called 'brother and sister'. This is face and prestige!"

"so……"

Cheng Mo whispered: "I will take you on a mission, and you call me senior brother. From now on, we will do our own thing. You call me senior brother, and I will call you senior brother..."

"Then you can't take advantage?" Mo Hua was puzzled.

Cheng Mo said with an open mind: "It doesn't matter, as long as I don't suffer a loss!"

Mo Hua nodded, but suddenly felt that it was inconsistent. His mind changed, and he shook his head and said:

"wrong……"

"You can't get any advantage from me..."

"But in front of Situ Jian and the others, it's different..."

"They call me 'little senior brother'. If I call you 'senior brother' again, you will also be their senior brother!"

Cheng Mo's face turned red.

He didn't expect that he could clearly see the little plan he had thought up and the effort Mo Hua had taken in eating the chicken leg...

Mo Hua snorted softly:

"Don't think about it. I am the 'little senior brother'. I have to save face for the people who call me little senior brother. I can't let them be inferior in front of you!"

Cheng Mo's expression froze.

Mo Hua finished the chicken legs three times and five divided by two. Then he felt full and was ready to leave.

Cheng Mo is still grinding:

"Ink painting!"

"Little senior brother!"

"It's really difficult for an array master to get along..."

"Don't you want to go outside the sect to gratify your grievances, arrest guilty cultivators, slay demons, and restore righteousness?"

"Don't you want to experience the passion of the hand blade demon cultivator?"

"I can beat someone half to death and let you use spells to last the damage!"

The ink painting is indifferent.

Cheng Mo added: "Besides, if you stay in the sect all day, you won't earn much from your merits..."

Mo Hua stopped, turned his head, stood on tiptoe and patted Cheng Mo's shoulder, sighing:

"I drew a second-grade formation, and the money I earned through meritorious service was actually much more than that of you who fight and kill..."

Cheng Mo stood blankly on the spot, feeling extremely complicated.

…

After that, Mo Hua's life remained the same as before.

Practice, take classes, and draw formations.

Occasionally, I have time to practice the sword energy of the Golden Sword Jue.

Cheng Mo still went out to do tasks, but occasionally he would try his best to bribe Mo Hua with delicious food, persuade Mo Hua to hang out with him, and call him "senior brother".

Mo Hua Dao was firm-minded and adhered to his principles and ignored him.

Cheng Mo had no choice.

After some time, with Cheng Mo taking the lead, more and more disciples went out to do tasks.

In the Taixu Sect, there are already geniuses. They work in groups of five to do the "rewards" for sin cultivation in the early stages of foundation building. Even if they can't win, they won't suffer a loss.

Cooperate with each other, fight against the evil cultivators, and complete the mission.

For them, this is also a necessary training.

Gradually, the children of Mo Hua and other aristocratic families began to grow up.

Even if he can't deal with evil cultivators who are too vicious, it's not difficult to catch ordinary criminal cultivators.

This is also within the expectation of Mo Hua.

The children of the aristocratic family have excellent talent and strength.

Even though he was raised in a noble family and had no experience in traveling and adventure, he went on a few missions and encountered some setbacks and stumblings, so he gradually got used to it.

The same goes for Senior Sister Murong and the others.

Even before Taixu Sect, this should have been the teaching.

Through tasks, proceed step by step, control the "difficulty", and temper the disciples little by little until they can stand alone.

But this has nothing to do with ink painting.

This kind of task is too simple and does not have much merit, so he is too lazy to do it.

Mo Hua thought of another thing.

Cheng Mo's words before reminded him.

"The array master's methods must be arranged in advance. Otherwise, hastily responding to the battle without adequate preparation will be very passive."

"If you are caught off guard, your life may be lost..."

The array master's methods must be arranged in advance...

This made Mo Hua realize a problem:

"How do ordinary formation masters use formations in battle?"

When he was in Tongxian City, he used the formation as a trap.

Killing the big demon Feng Xi and constructing the five-element demon-slaying formation is equivalent to building a "trap" that traps and kills the monster. It traps Feng Xi first and then slaughters the pig.

When it comes to foundation building and learning how to use divine consciousness to control ink, it will be easy.

Just paint and use now...

However, how do other foundation-building formation masters use formations in actual combat?

I really haven’t thought about this ink painting very carefully.

Mo Hua thought for a while, felt a little confused, and couldn't help but sigh.

Maybe this is the problem of learning the formation too well.

Some of the most basic things will be ignored if you don’t pay attention...

"Practical application of formations..."

Taking advantage of this period of time, Mo Hua decided to study it carefully.

He originally wanted to ask Mr. Xun.

But after thinking about it, this kind of question should not be considered a particularly high-end formation question. Asking Mr. Xun would be overkill.

And it might even arouse Mr. Xun’s suspicion.

Especially the word "practical application" is unsettling at first glance.

It's not like a question that a young monk who has just entered the sect, "stays at home" and is obsessed with studying formations every day, would ask.

Mo Hua went to find Zheng Fang.

The Zheng family is a family of formations. Although the thunder-type formations are passed down from their ancestors, they are extremely rare and are not passed down to outsiders. Even direct descendants may not pass them on.

But apart from that, the inheritance of some basic formations, including their applications, should be very complete.

Zheng Fang often discussed formation issues with Mo Hua.

He has an upright face, a serious personality, and is meticulous in doing things, just like a "little researcher".

No matter what the formation issues are, they are studied very seriously.

What Mo Hua asked him, Zheng Fangfang told him everything he knew except some inheritance of formations that were forbidden to be transmitted to outsiders.

"The basis of the actual combat application of formations is formations, but it involves 'application', and the most critical thing is actually 'formation media'."

"Array media?"

"Yes." Zheng Fang nodded, "My great-uncle once said that the great avenues of heaven and earth are transformed into 'formations', and everything in the world is a 'formation matchmaker'."

"It's just that there are many differences among all things that can be used as 'array matchmakers'..."

"There are some things that absorb spiritual ink and match the formation patterns, so they are naturally suitable for being an 'array matchmaker'..."

"And some things are either loose and amorphous, or flow with no fixed trend, or are complicated and have no theorem, so they are not suitable for doing..."

When Zheng Fang said this, he paused and used a more rigorous expression:

"It's difficult to be used as a 'formation matchmaker'..."

"There are, but very few..."

"Only some great formation masters, whose understanding of the rules of heaven and earth are different from ordinary people, who can 'turn stones into gold' and turn decay into magic, can they depict the following on some 'formation media' that are considered 'non-formation media' by common sense. Formation pattern..."

Mo Hua couldn't help but nodded.

Zheng Fang added: "So the formation media is just a 'medium' in the study of formations, but it is the 'basis' in the application of formations."

"No matter how high-end the formation is, it needs an adapted 'formation media' as the basis for the formation."

"And the history of formation media is also long..."

Zheng Fang looked like it was a long story.

"In the beginning, the formation media must be found and used by the formation master himself..."

"Later, with the development of the monastic industry and the subdivision of categories, formation masters were unable to learn formation techniques, let alone spend a lot of time refining formation media themselves..."

"So the matter of refining the 'array matchmaker'..."

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, "Just leave it to the weapon refiner?"

Zheng Fang nodded, "Yes."

He took out another album from his storage bag.

On the album, there are several simple models of spiritual weapons drawn.

"Needless to say, formation paper is the most basic and cheapest formation media..."

"Other types of spiritual weapon formation media, including formation flags, formation disks, formation orders, formation stones, formation foundations, etc..."

"These are all individually refined by the weapon refiner."

Mo Hua was a little confused, "But the refining of these formation media seems to have never been taught in the sect."

Zheng Fang nodded again, "The sect doesn't teach..."

"Just like formations, there are many categories. Among the major categories, there are Five Elements and Eight Diagrams, Two Instruments and Three Talents, Four Symbols and Seven Stars, etc..."

"The metamagnetic formation method among the small categories..."

"The disparity between each type of formation is huge..."

"Similarly, weapon refining is also divided into many categories, such as array media refining, Taoist robe refining, armor refining, weapon refining, jewelry refining, etc..."

"As well as lamps, incense burners, screens, alchemy furnaces...all kinds of spiritual tools that monks need for life and production."

"Ordinary weapon refiners will only choose one or two types of specializations to strive for excellence."

"The sect will not teach them all, but will only select some of the most important, largest, and most widely used branches of weapon refining to teach..."

"The array medium spirit tool has a narrow application and is obviously not one of them..."

"So that's it..."

Mo Hua suddenly realized it and sighed in his heart.

The knowledge in monasticism is indeed very profound and complex. If he does not ask carefully and learn patiently, he will not know many things in it at all...

Mo Hua praised: "You know so much!"

Zheng Fang looked happy, but still said reservedly:

"Where, where..."

…

Then Mo Hua roughly understood it.

Formation media is the basis for the application of formation methods.

When I was in Tongxian City, because it was a small fairy city, the inheritance was limited, and the supporting level of formations was also limited.

Mo Hua was still a small formation master in the Qi refining stage, and the formation media he used were very crude.

Usually it's just make do, as long as it works.

He didn't have any specific concept in his mind.

After he established the foundation, his spiritual consciousness changed qualitatively, and he "used the earth as a matchmaker" and directly skipped many restrictions of the "formation matchmaker".

But this is actually not very good...

After thinking deeply about Mo Hua, I felt that there were some things that I could not use, but I couldn’t live without them, let alone live without them.

Just because your formation method is extraordinary, you cannot ignore the "ordinary" formation techniques.

These basic techniques are the result of the hard work and hard work of so many formation masters in the cultivation world who have studied, iterated and used formations for a long time.

It may contain a huge and valuable experience in "formation application" and practical thinking about formations.

Mo Hua nodded and corrected his mentality.

You also need to learn how to use "formation media" to strengthen the application of formation methods.

The application of formation methods must be based on formation media.

"Media array..."

Mo Hua asked in the sect.

There are indeed disciples who are good at refining weapons, but there are almost no disciples who are good at refining spiritual weapons that serve as "array matchmakers".

There are a few people who know how to do it, but what they refine is the most basic "formation paper" and "formation disk".

This kind of paper formation disk can be bought at any time.

Moreover, the combination of formation method and formation media is also the most basic form, and the research is of little significance.

"It's best to be a special matchmaker..."

Mo Hua considered whether to issue a reward in the Taixu Order, but he felt a little distressed about the meritorious service.

After all, merit is valuable.

Moreover, he still knows very little about the "array matchmaker" type of weapon refining. Even if a reward is issued, he still doesn't know what kind of spiritual weapon array matchmaker he wants to refine.

"If it doesn't work inside the sect, why don't you ask outside the sect?"

Mo Hua was thinking silently in his heart.

Then he took advantage of the break and ran to Gu's house.

The Gu family can be considered a big family.

Even though the power is not as good as the Shangguan family, it is still much more powerful than the Qian family and the Lu family that I have encountered before.

In a family, there must be an industry.

In these industries, it is impossible not to refine weapons.

After all, weapon refining is one of the four major industries of Taoism.

Since there is a weapon refining industry, even if they are not specialized in the weapon refining business of array media, the weapon refiners in it still know more or less about the art of array media refining.

This is the boundary of Qianxue State, and those who can make a living by "refining weapons" must have real abilities.

Gu Changhuai was busy with Daotingsi affairs and did not come back.

Mo Hua didn't want to find him either.

As a Taoist minister, he might not be interested in the Gu family's property.

Mo Hua then found Wen Renwan.

Wen Renwan muttered: "The formation medium's spiritual weapon..."

"The Gu family seems to have done this kind of business before. I forgot whether it was selling paper or array disks. But the results were not good, so they canceled it..."

"Is it gone now?"

Mo Hua was a little disappointed.

Wen Renwan said: "The weapon refining shop has been shut down, but the weapon refining master is still in the weapon refining shop, but he has switched to refining other spiritual weapons..."

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, "Can I go visit?"

Wenren Wan nodded, "Of course it can, but the industries jointly owned by the Shangguan family and the Gu family are scattered across the border of Qianxue state and its surrounding fairy cities..."

"There are quite a few weapon-refining shops among them. I don't know where these weapon-refining masters have been transferred. I need to find someone to ask..."

"Yeah," Mo Hua said with a smile, "Thank you, Aunt Wan!"

An hour later, Wen Renwan found out.

"In Gushan City, it's relatively far away. It may take a day and a night to go back and forth. Do you want to go?"

Mo Hua was slightly startled, "One day and one night..."

"Yeah." Wen Renwan said hesitantly, "How about I ask someone to bring the weapon refiner back and you can ask me again?"

Mo Hua thought for a while, shook his head and said:

"I'd better go there."

I have always wanted to ask for help from others, so how could I be so embarrassed to let others go back and forth?

The weapon refining masters of the weapon refining shop are also very busy on weekdays.

I had a deep understanding of this ink painting when I was in Tongxian City.

Wenren Wan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll have someone send you off."

"No need." Mo Hua said.

Wen Renwan looked at the ink paintings, feeling a little worried.

Mo Hua smiled sheepishly and whispered:

"I also want to play along the way..."

Wen Renwan was startled, thinking that he was just a child after all, and a little playful.

"It's dangerous outside..." Wen Renwan reminded.

"It's okay." Mo Hua said, "I have the summons from Uncle Gu, and I also have Daotingsi's badge. I can still run when I'm in danger..."

Wen Renwan sighed.

She knew that Mo Hua had his own ideas, so she no longer forced herself.

"Then be careful."

"Yeah!" Mo Hua nodded.

After that, Mo Hua left Qingzhou City alone in the Gu family's carriage and headed for the remote Gushan City.

The ink painting is ready.

First, go to Gushan City and ask the Gu family's weapon refining master for some knowledge on the refining of medium-type spiritual weapons.

For example, formation flags, formation disks, formation bases... What are the specific differences between these formation media?

What kind of formation media is suitable for different formations?

Then, according to the situation, you will consider how to better combine the formation with the formation media, and broaden the means of applying your own formation.

On the way back, we took a detour from Dry Mountain Temple.

Buy some wine, meat, pastries and fruits, and go visit your "old friend", Huangshan Jun, the desolate mountain god.

We haven't seen each other for a long time, and Mo Hua really misses it.

I don’t know if Mr. Huangshan is doing well on weekdays.

You must be very happy to see yourself.
