Chapter 515: The Cat and Horse
First of all, the design of the mine.
This large mine not only needs to open mountains and connect mountains, but also build a formation system with rigorous structure and complete functions.
Which mountains to open and how to connect.
What formations should be built and how to layout them.
These are all things to be considered.
Ink painting first refers to the mine maps of all dynasties and studied the structure of several mines, large and small, outside Nanyue City.
Later, I sought the opinions of several aristocratic families and sect elders.
Among these elders’ tribes, or sects, there is also a mining industry.
They have operated related road cultivation businesses, guarded the mines, or participated in the construction of mines.
Mo Hua asked them, but they didn't hide their own private matters either.
I want to seek some benefits for these poor mining cultivation, but also thank Mohua for suppressing the corpse king and quelling the corpse troubles.
After Mo Hua became familiar with the mine structure, it took several days to draw up a large formation sketch.
In the mine, you cannot use a large array or a large array.
The formation is grand and unified.
The formations in the mine are trivial.
It needs to meet all kinds of functions, and it must be as simple as possible, familiar and durable as possible. Even if it is damaged, it must be easy to repair.
If a large formation is formed, once it is broken, almost no one will repair it after the ink painting is gone.
Therefore, the formations in the mine are just a bunch of complex arrays, including some simple single arrays.
Simple, basic, and practical.
But the project volume is not small.
At the same time, the ink painting also combines the underlying structure of the Five Elements Demon Destroy Formation, and uses the Five Elements Generation and Rescue formation to sort out and optimize these complex formations.
This makes these formations clearer and more concise, and at the same time removes some redundant formations, reducing some costs.
Although there are many formations used in the mine, the difficulty is not high.
The ink painting didn't even have to be taken to Mr. Zhuang for a look, but just showed it to Bai Zixi. The two of them got together, checked the array patterns, sorted out the array pivot, checked for omissions and made up for the gaps, and even improved it.
Then he took it to the Daoting side's formation master, discussed it, and then finalized it.
There are many formations. Although the ink painting formation is very fast, there is only one person after all. If you can’t draw it, you need the help of the formation masters like Daoting.
They all agreed.
After Mo Hua left, an old formation master sighed: "This formation is well constructed..."
A young formation master said in confusion: "They use ordinary formations, just the same one, right?"
The old formation master glared at him, "What do you know? Ordinary formations are the most difficult to use."
He pointed to the array diagram on the table, "These formations seem simple, but their layouts are concise and complement each other. If one adds one, it is too much, and if one reduces one, it is too little. To achieve this, the foundation must be deep enough and the foundation must be solid enough..."
The old formation master blew the ink paintings.
The young formation master nodded, but his expression still disagreed.
A simple formation is just a simple formation after all, even if it is used, it is not the case.
The old formation master couldn't help but shake his head.
Young Master Yun looked at the formation in front of him, but was a little silent and frowned and thoughtful.
He is a second-grade formation master with a family background, so he has a deeper understanding.
These formations look simple, but also majestic, as if they are derived from... a large formation?
The formations are gathered into a variety of complexity and integrated into a variety of complexity, and these formations are simplified by simplification.
The concept is indeed exquisite, but...
Young Master Yun couldn't figure it out.
Why, we use basic and simple formations.
Instead of using some more powerful formations, first-grade or even first-grade or above.
Master Yun was puzzled. A few days later, when Mo Hua began to draw the formation, Master Yun was a little shy and embarrassed, walking to Mo Hua.
Mo Hua was carefully painting the formation. When he saw Young Master Yun, he said curiously:
"Mr. Yun, is there anything wrong?"
In Nanyue City, among the various forces in the Dao Court, there was the only second-grade formation master, and he was so young, so I naturally knew Mo Hua.
But before, the tide of corpses was a disaster, time was urgent, and I hadn't talked much, so I was not familiar with it.
Young Master Yun was looked at by Mo Hua's innocent and watery big eyes. For some reason, he was a little helpless, but in the end he was calm and asked for the doubts in his heart:
"There are better choices for these formations, why choose the most basic one?"
Mo Hua said: "Because these formations are to be used."
"Use?" Young Master Yun was slightly stunned.
Mo Hua nodded, "Master taught me that you should apply what you have learned to form..."
"The formations in this world are drawn on paper, and they look the same, but when they are actually used, the situation varies greatly."
Young Master Yun thought about something.
Mo Hua sighed slightly and then said:
"This is the mine, and the formation inside is for mine repair."
“Minery repairs are very poor.”
"While using a higher-end formation is better, once it breaks, no one will repair it for them."
"Even if they can practice, they can't afford it."
"So, the simple, durable, sturdy and easy-to-make formation is a good formation for them."
Master Yun was stunned.
No one has ever said this to him.
All formation masters are learning more advanced formations and more difficult formations to improve their formation level and seek a greater future for cultivation.
But almost no one expected to popularize these and the most basic formations for the most ordinary monks...
He himself never realized it.
Young Master Yun suddenly turned slightly red and felt a little ashamed.
Mo Hua also looked at him in surprise.
He thought that Young Master Yun was so young and a second-grade formation master would have to be arrogant, but he didn't expect that he was so shy and had a tender face than himself.
I guess I have been staying in the family for a long time, and I haven't been very familiar with the world.
Young Master Yun seemed to remember something again, and he was a little reluctant to speak but stopped.
But almost all his thoughts were written on his face.
The ink painting could see clearly, so I asked:
"What else do you want to ask?"
Master Yun hesitated for a moment before saying with apologies:
"Maybe, it's a bit abrupt..."
"Yes." Mo Hua said, "You ask."
Master Yun made up his mind and asked slowly:
"Did you draw the formation on the body of the corpse king? Is that... the ultimate formation?"
Mo Hua nodded and said frankly:
"yes!"
Although there were already speculations, Master Yun still looked shocked.
Other monks and even some other formation masters may not understand what the ultimate formation means.
The eighth level of Qi refining.
Master the first-grade twelve-line array.
This kind of thing goes against his common sense as a formation master.
Young Master Yun felt a little depressed.
In the Yun family, and even the entire state where the Yun family is located, I am a highly respected formation genius.
But he only realized it at this time.
There are also differences between geniuses, and there are even worlds of difference.
Some people are almost evil in genius.
He looked at the childish Mo Hua in front of him again and sighed in his heart.
This is a little monster.
Mo Hua saw that Young Master Yun looked a little disappointed, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Suddenly, Mo Hua's eyes lit up slightly and she whispered:
"Mr. Yun, do you know what formation is this?"
Master Yun shook his head honestly and said in confusion:
"What formation?"
"Lingshu Formation." Mo Hua said.
"Lingshu Formation..."
Master Yun said it several times, nodded and praised: "It's indeed a paradise. Just a name is unusual..."
"Then..." Mo Hua blinked and tempted: "Do you want to learn?"
Young Master Yun's heart trembled and his mouth widened.
He thought Mo Hua was teasing him, but when he looked up, Mo Hua's eyes were as clear as water and had no teasing. Then he suppressed the excitement in his heart and nodded slowly:
"think……"
Without a formation master, you can withstand the temptation of formations.
Mo Hua smiled and said, "Then I will teach you."
Young Master Yun was even more surprised, "Would you teach me?"
"Well." Mo Hua nodded, "The formation needs to be inherited in order to have a long history. If you cherish it yourself, no matter how precious the formation is, it will be cut off sooner or later."
"Once it is cut off, no matter how precious the formation is, it will be useless."
"Since you want to learn, I will teach you, but you have to promise me that you can't do bad things."
Young Master Yun couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I promise you!"
"There is one more thing..." Mo Hua said again, "After you learn, you need to do me a favor."
"Help?" Young Master Yun was stunned.
"Um!"
Mo Hua had a pair of eyes shining brightly, "I want to build something and use the Lingshu array to control it. I can't do it alone and need your help."
This is what he had planned long ago.
Manpower is sometimes exhausted.
Although he is proficient in formations, he cannot do many things alone and will spend a lot of time.
If someone helps, it will be different.
What's more, this matter requires the use of the Lingshu Formation.
The first-grade twelve-patterned array has complex array patterns and high demand for spiritual consciousness. Almost no one in Nanyue City can learn it.
But Young Master Yun should be able to do it.
He is a second-grade formation master or a formation genius, and his spiritual sense and insight should be enough.
Mo Hua has long been thinking about him.
Now he is "delivered to the door" by himself, and he is just going down the road and asks him for help.
"Yes, yes..." Young Master Yun pondered for a moment and asked curiously, "But what are you going to help?"
"Help me draw the formation."
"Is the formation in the mine?"
"There are some other things, you will know then..."
The ink painting was sold for a moment.
So, Young Master Yun naturally became the "cool laborer" of ink painting.
The mine needs to draw some early arrays, build a formation framework, and pre-filled with some basic arrays.
Then let the zombies open up.
After the mine is opened, the mine is dug, and then the subsequent formation is completed.
These formations are very complicated.
Including defense arrays, soil solidification arrays, lighting arrays, ventilation arrays, filth removal arrays, and some golden blade arrays that can be dealt with temporarily, etc.
Mo Hua taught him how to draw the Lingshu array.
While Master Yun was learning, he would occasionally help Mo draw the formation when he had time.
Young Master Yun is a second-grade formation master. He draws first-grade formations and is very fast.
But what made him unbelievable was that Mo Draw was faster than him!
When he draws the formation, he also needs to look at the formation diagram and confirm the formation pattern.
But you don’t even need to look at the ink paintings. You just rely on memory. The white wrists are turned around, the pen is like dragons and snakes, and the pattern is displayed under the pen.
It seems casual, but the formations written in it are both neat and rigorous, and they are not bad at all, and there is also a special charm.
How many times have you drawn this...
Young Master Yun was secretly shocked, and at the same time he felt relieved.
Although he is talented, this hard work alone is something that ordinary formation masters cannot do.
Time passes day by day.
Young Master Yun’s spiritual hub formation was not learned quickly.
The main reason is that his spiritual consciousness is limited and he can't practice it several times a day, so he is inevitably unfamiliar with the formation patterns and his understanding is much slower.
He finished practicing ink painting in one or two days after a week.
It is natural to make progress slower.
When Mo Hua has time, he will ask Young Master Yun for some knowledge of second-grade formations.
His current formation level is far superior to that of the first-grade formation master.
But things like the ultimate formation seem to be completely different from the second-grade formation.
Mo Hua wanted to know what thresholds there are for the second-grade formation masters and second-grade formations.
Master Yun reciprocates his love and answers with all his heart:
"At the second level, the formation master and formation will be divided into the third level of junior high school, corresponding to the level of cultivation before, middle and after foundation building."
"My cultivation level is only in the early stage of foundation building, so the level of the formation master is only at the first level of the second grade."
"The second-grade formation is just as difficult to learn, and it takes a lot of time and energy."
"The level of the general formation master must be behind his own cultivation level."
"For example, in the early stage of foundation building, he is the first-grade formation master, in the middle stage of foundation building, he is the second-grade formation master, and in the late stage of foundation building, he is the second-grade intermediate..."
"A person like me, in the early stage of foundation building, can become a second-grade first-level formation master, which is already considered..."
Young Master Yun originally wanted to say "genius", but after looking at Mo Hua, he said, "...it's pretty good..."
Mo Hua said curiously: "Can the Qi Refining Cultivator become a second-grade formation master?"
Young Master Yun shook his head, "No."
"Because the spiritual consciousness is not enough?"
"It's usually because of insufficient spiritual consciousness. Another reason is spiritual power."
"Spiritual power?"
"Well." Young Master Yun explained, "There is a difference in the spiritual consciousness between qi refining and foundation building, but the spiritual power is a difference in quality. Similarly, the first- and second-grade formations involve the formation and the spiritual power driven by the formation also have a difference in quality."
"So, Qi Refining Cultivators cannot learn second-grade formations."
There are some regrets in ink painting.
He thought that if his spiritual sense was strong enough, he could try to learn the second-grade formation.
It seems that the restrictions on the major categories of Tiandao are still very strict.
Among the same grades, you can go beyond the level and learn faster than others.
But no matter how far you go, you can't surpass the quality...
The reverse spirit formation, the thick earth formation and the spiritual hub formation. Although these ultimate formations are super-grade formations, they are still in the category of first-grade formations, and are first-grade formations, not second-grade formations.
In essence, it is not a real "super" but should be considered a serious super-level...
Mo Hua nodded and gained more understanding of the concept of grade.
Afterwards, he asked some other questions.
Young Master Yun answered one by one.
Mo Hua treats people honestly. Young Master Yun is not very experienced in the world and has no scheming. He is also a formation master. As he chats, the two became much more familiar with each other and spoke very speculatively.
Ink painting teaches Master Yun’s Lingshu Formation.
Young Master Yun was very grateful and thought that he could not repay him, so he secretly taught some of the formations passed down by the Yun family to Mo Hua.
Mo Hua was a little disgusted, "Is it okay?"
Young Master Yun blinked, "Just say I taught you."
Mo Hua was stunned.
Why does this sound familiar? It looks like Uncle Zhang Lan?
Zhang Lan seemed to be so instructing him to learn from the Zhang family...
After a while, in the mine, the early formation was drawn, and Young Master Yun also learned a rough idea of the spiritual hub formation.
Mo Hua awakened the Corpse King and asked the Corpse King to take the iron corpse and tens of thousands of walking corpses to walk out of the Corpse Mine and into various mines.
Zombies all over the mountains followed the dispatch of Mo Hua, walked into the mines in an orderly manner, advanced together, and dug the mine shaft.
This scene is both weird and harmonious.
In order to avoid zombies changing, all the mine repairmen remained in Tongxian City.
Taoist soldiers were stationed around.
Yang Jishan and several other foundation-building monks with deep cultivation looked alert and stared at the corpse king, afraid that it would rebel and become a Taoist evildoer.
The mines are noisy again.
It’s just that this time the work was not mine repairmen, but zombies.
Their movements are mechanically repeated, picks after picks, digging the mine bit by bit.
For their descendants, we will create a home that can eat and wear and live a safe life...
Under the control of Mo Hua, the corpse king did not change his corpse again. The iron corpse obeyed the orders, and all the corpses worked hard.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
More than a month later, the mine was dug.
The mine connects several mines, with a huge scale, spacious passages, solid walls, and cleansing the foul air, which is both safe and comfortable.
Mo Hua ordered the zombies again and returned to the corpse mine to sleep.
The formation master of Daoting's side completed the subsequent formations in the mine according to the array map of Mo Hua.
These formations are very simple, both ink painting and not painting.
Ink painting requires something else.
Mo Hua called Master Yun and came to a workshop in the city.
The spacious courtyard is filled with some puppets made of hardwood, like cows and horses.
Master Yun was a little surprised, "These are..."
"Putao." Mo Hua said, "The spiritual formation can be controlled by the spiritual consciousness to transport ore, reduce the hard work of mine repairs, and improve mining efficiency..."
Young Master Yun came to his senses, "Is this the one you asked me to help?"
"Yes." Mo Hua nodded, "I have to draw a lot of spiritual hub arrays. I can't draw them by myself, so I want you to help me draw them."
Young Master Yun nodded slightly, and at the same time he felt emotion.
This is the real understanding of the formation and applying what you have learned.
After learning the formation, you will use it just right to benefit more monks...
He seems to have never done this before.
"Okay!" Young Master Yun said happily.
Then he was a little confused, "Do these puppets have names?"
"Yes!" Mo Huacanran smiled, "You can call them, 'wooden ox and flowing horse'!"
