Chapter 20 Compilation of the Five Elements Divine Formation
After receiving the reward from Huayun Pavilion, Zhao Ran was very excited. The commendation was just a proof of honor and qualifications. It was similar to the award certificate issued by Zhao Ran to advanced employees before traveling through time. It was useful and useful. You can write a big book when filling out your resume, or when the leader wants to promote you, you can use this thing to talk about it. But to say it is useful - if the leader doesn't think about you at all, this thing is just a piece of waste paper and no one mentions it.
What really made him feel like he had a treasure was this volume of "The Five Elements Divine Array" and that small and exquisite array plate.
Without busy reading, Zhao Ran took the array plate and went to the back mountain to watch the cloud platform. He first used magic tools to set up the only five elements of the Wudi Jin array that he could use, and then chanted the spell to start, and practiced one by one, and had a lot of fun. It was boring to play alone, so he tricked the old donkey into the formation and asked the old donkey to play as a monster, and tried the method with the old donkey.
The poor old donkey was tortured in the formation and turned ignorantly, and then it was terrible. After experiencing various attacks contained in the Five Elements Formation, it was very devastated. Although Zhao Ran controlled the operation of the formation and tried not to use "killing moves", the old donkey was still tortured. When Zhao Ranxing closed the formation, he almost foamed at the mouth.
Zhao Ran laughed loudly and kept comforting the old donkey. One thing that happened to him was to raise his head and push Zhao Ran to the back, and then chase Zhao Ran around the mountain.
That night, Zhao Ran began to study the compilation of the formation book. This volume of "Five Elements Divine Array Collection" is not thick, and records twenty-five commonly used formations, divided into five categories, five in each category. Five elements formations are ever-changing, of course, more than twenty-five, but Huayun Pavilion thought that he must have considered Zhao Ran's personal ability and formation learning level, but he chose twenty-five simple formations to compile this book. The ink marks on the book exuded a fresh flavor, which was obviously written just now.
These twenty-five formations are mainly one of the five elements, and one line is chosen to complement each other, and the other three lines are used to cooperate. The formation used by Zhao Ran when catching monsters in Luo's house is one of them. The "Five Elements Back Earth Transformation Formation" is, as the name suggests, with earth as the main and gold as the auxiliary. The formation is mainly about trapping the enemy and is both lethal.
In this volume, each formation has a direction map, accompanied by a text description, and a mantra that needs to be recited by the magic array. Zhao Ran turned over one by one and studied it one by one.
The formation is very particular about the arrangement of magic tools. It is explained how far apart they are, and where the direction and angle are located. For example, the Five Elements Fire Giant Wood Array, this array is mainly fire and supplemented by wood. Fire-attribute magic tools are arranged in the core eye-stopping. Because wood produces fire, this wood-attribute magic weapon must be close to the fire-attribute magic weapon to assist the fire; while water overcomes fire, the water-attribute magic weapon needs to be placed far away from the eye-stopping to avoid attribute conflict. As for the other metal and earth-attribute magic weapons, the positional relationship with the other three needs to be considered, and the formation is as rigorous as possible without being alienated, with the greatest effect without being hindered.
In addition, when launching a large array to respond to the enemy, the order of starting the magic weapon is also very important. Be sure to achieve the combination of the five elements and match the five elements. You can start a magic weapon to launch a single attack or two magic weapons to double attack. After you are proficient in the formation, you can even use three magic weapons, four magic weapons, or even five magic weapons to fight the enemy at the same time, which is better. To put it simply, try to make one plus one greater than two, rather than one less than two.
Zhao Ran recalled the Five Elements Hou Earth-Turning Gold Array he had set up. Compared with the book, the location of the magic weapon was roughly the same, but the spacing and direction were very different. At the same time, when he was operating the magic circle, he only activated one magic weapon at a time, and he was far from able to cooperate with the Five Elements magic weapon. If he wanted to judge his performance that day, he would definitely be unqualified, so Zhao Ran was ashamed.
In the days that followed, Zhao Ran started his busy study career again. When he was reciting the precepts in the morning class, he was thinking about the formation diagram and formation. When he was teaching questions and explanations in the evening class, he was thinking about the cooperation of the Five Elements Magical Tools. In the afternoon, he went to the back mountain to practice the actual control of the magical array, and was so busy that he was too busy.
Although "The Five Elements Divine Array" only records only twenty-five simple formations, the operation and use of each formation is quite brain-consuming. If Zhao Ran does not seek to understand it very well and only wants to use it simply, then everything is very simple, just as described in the book. But formation is the only Taoist technique that Zhao Ran can touch at present, or the only way to fight the enemy and save his life that he can rely on. Therefore, he really put his mind into it. He has to think about every change after the magic array is activated countless times in order to maximize its effectiveness. At the same time, he practices it countless times in order to achieve the level of being able to do it with ease.
During the process of practicing the formation, Lao Du has always been his loyal companion. No matter how Zhao Ran racked his brains and used tender grass, sweet potatoes, vegetables and even fragrant meat buns as bait, the donkey was always by his side and helped him test the power of the formation. Of course, both Donkey and Zhao Ran were suffering deeply, one was during the process of the formation, and the other was after the formation was completed.
On this day, when Zhao Ran practiced the Five Elements Houdi Jin Formation, he arranged the formation according to the method described in "Zongyao" and practiced the magic weapon cooperation. He found that the five elements of the magic weapon indeed greatly enhanced its power. It was more than several times more effective than using only one magic weapon to fight the enemy when he was catching monsters that day. However, in the operation of the qi of the large array, it was always a little stagnant, which was far less smooth than when he was using the formation that day.
This is the first problem that Zhao Ran encountered. In fact, this problem should be attributed to Huayun Pavilion.
After Dazhuo and Taoist Master Xiaozhuo returned to Huayun Pavilion, they reported Zhao Ran's contribution to the museum. Following the old rules, Huayun Pavilion wanted to reward Zhao Ran. In this regard, they basically listened to the opinions of Taoist Master Dazhuo and Taoist Master Xiaozhuo. According to Taoist Master Xiaozhuo's idea, Zhao Ran has studied the formation more frequently, but it is limited to qualifications and talent, and his future achievements are limited. Based on this, Huayun Pavilion made the decision to reward him with a set of array plates and a volume of formation books.
The array plate is mainly exquisite and simple to adapt to the control of ordinary mortals. The array book has selected twenty-five basic five-element magic arrays and collected them into a volume. The key issue is that because "The Five Elements Divine Array Collection" is a newly compiled book, the Taoist priest who compiled the book missed a comment in the general rule - "To take the actions of heaven and earth as a conscience, without taking a single map." This sentence means that when setting up a formation, you should follow the principles of the right time, place, and people, and not stick to the figure.
This sentence actually points out the overall strategy of setting up the array. In fact, the reason why there are masters and vulgar masters in the array is precisely because of this sentence. Otherwise, the array diagram is used as the criterion, so there is no profoundness in the formation. When using the formation specifically, the same magic array is used by masters and vulgar masters, which is like a difference.
Perhaps the Taoist priest who compiled this book in Huayun Pavilion believes that it is not easy to use the common Taoist priest like Zhao Ran. If such a sentence is added, it may interfere with the formation and have a negative effect. Therefore, he abandoned this sentence, or perhaps the Taoist priest simply missed it when he compiled the book. In short, Zhao Ran is now beginning to think about the difference.
After several days of meditation and repeated trials, Zhao Ran finally embarked on the right path. He decided not to stick to the fixed layout method in the book, but to observe the running qi of the heaven and earth in a state of concentration, and to set up the array according to the results he observed. For this reason, he turned the book to the first page again, overturned the previous study results, and started the experiment from scratch. The final result was that the formation was based on his own observations, which would be better!
Zhao Ran studied formation knowledge hard and basically threw away the scriptures in the Tibetan area. However, because he had already become familiar with those books, he did not lose any traces during the monthly exam and was in the first class for two consecutive months.
During this period, a news came from the edge of Sichuan. Deacon Hong, a guest house that went to Xichuan Xuanwei Office to participate in the Ming Dynasty and Xixia battle, unfortunately died and died in a sneak attack by the Xia army at the foot of Baima Mountain. Xizhenwu Palace specially issued an eulogy for him and held a grand ritual in Wujiyuan.
At the same time, Yu Zhiyuan, who had been missing for a long time, finally returned. He was approved by the prison and Sandu, and was promoted to a guest in the guest hall, becoming one of the eight deacons of Wuji Academy.
