Chapter 181 Formation Master
The construction progress of the weapon refining shop is advancing according to Master Ban's expectations.
The end of the year is approaching. If the weapon refining shop is completed earlier, he can pay off the spiritual stone payment earlier. He can also have an explanation for his craftsmen and disciples, and everyone can go home and have a good New Year.
Master Ban was very attentive and stayed at the weapon refining shop basically every day, supervising the craftsmen under his command and giving orders to the demon hunters who came to help. He also had to do things himself if his disciples couldn't do something well.
During this time, Master Ban could often see ink paintings.
Mo Hua just held his little hand behind his back, looking here and there, occasionally muttering something, and taking out a piece of paper to write something down.
If they don't know better, others will think that he is also a little craftsman.
Master Ban remembered Elder Yu's words and let him do whatever he wanted, so he didn't interfere.
Occasionally, Mo Hua would ask him some questions, and Master Ban would answer them one by one if he was free. Mo Hua rewarded him with wine and meat from his own restaurant. Master Ban had eaten it once and would never forget it again.
Soft and chewy, spicy and a bit gamey.
It’s not that Master Ban has never eaten meat before, but he has never eaten such delicious meat. He works hard on weekdays and only eats a few bites casually. He is not very particular about food, but the taste of this meat is really special, and he will never forget it even if he wants to. .
Master Ban silently memorized the name of the Ink Painter's restaurant and planned to complete the crafting. After settling the account and earning spiritual stones, he bought more and gave them to his grandson and granddaughter to try.
About a month and a half later, the prototype of the weapon refining shop was initially completed.
The next thing to do is for the formation masters to draw formations on the walls, inside the house, and on the cornerstones of some key buildings. After that, they, the craftsmen, will further build the formations, seal the formations with earthen wood, masonry, and add a little more After repairs, the entire weapon refining business is completed.
Master Ban was a little worried.
The next step is for the formation master to draw the formation, but what about the formation master?
He would occasionally consult Elder Yu to discuss matters, but he went back and forth many times without seeing a single formation master.
Normally, at the beginning of the construction of the weapon refinery, the formation master would survey the terrain and building layout. During the construction process, the formation master would also have to go over and take a look from time to time.
But for such a long time, Master Ban has never seen an formation master in his memory.
The formation master doesn't understand the architectural layout, so how should he draw this formation?
Moreover, he has seen the architectural formation diagram. Although he does not understand the formations, he can still see at a glance that the formations used in this building are many and very complicated. It cannot be drawn by ordinary formation masters, nor can it be drawn by one or two. The formation master can finish the painting.
If the formation is not drawn well, the project will not be completed.
Similarly, if the formation is drawn too slowly, they will not be able to complete it on time. Once it is delayed, it is very likely that the project will not be completed until the end of the year. It is very likely that the payment will not be settled by the end of the year.
As soon as he thought about this, the class teacher became worried.
He patiently found Elder Yu and said anxiously, "Elder Yu, we have finished the living stage. Look at this formation..."
"No rush. Elder Yu's tone was not anxious at all.
You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry...
Master Ban thought to himself, and then asked Elder Yu: "Have you invited the formation master?"
"I invited you a long time ago."
"That's good." Master Ban breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help asking, "Then why haven't I seen it before?"
Elder Yu smiled half-heartedly, "You've seen it before."
Master Ban was stunned for a moment, "Where have you seen it?"
"Start drawing the formation tomorrow and you will be able to see it." Elder Yu said.
Master Ban frowned and couldn't remember when he had seen the formation master. But since Elder Yu said he would start drawing formations tomorrow, he would know when he met him tomorrow.
The next day's class master was waiting early at the weapon refining shop.
He didn't sleep well all night, always worried that Elder Yu would lie to him.
For such a big project in the weapon refining shop, if something unexpected happens and the spirit stone cannot be obtained, he really has no way to explain it to his craftsmen and disciples.
Logically speaking, Elder Yu is a foundation-building monk and has a good relationship with him, so he would not deliberately trick him. But the truth is this, and the actual class master can't help but worry.
People's hearts are separated from each other's belly, who can say for sure.
It was getting brighter, and at about nine o'clock, Elder Yu came over.
Master Ban stared at Elder Yu for a long time, then looked behind him, and couldn't help but ask:
"You came here alone? Where is the formation master?"
Seeing his anxious expression, Elder Yu comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I'll be here soon."
The class teacher could only wait patiently.
After a while, when Mao hour was approaching, Mo Hua carried a storage bag and a big bun in his hand, and walked towards the weapon refining shop while eating.
The morning sun shone through the clouds, coating his body with a shallow layer of gold.
Mo Hua spent a lot of effort to finish the buns. He looked up and saw Elder Yu and Master Ban, and said hello from a distance.
Master Ban was stunned for a long time. When Mo Hua approached, he couldn't help but said: "Mo Hua? What are you doing here..."
Mo Hua patted the storage bag and said with a smile: "I'm here to do business."
Before Master Ban asked anything serious, Elder Yu smiled and asked, "Are you all ready?"
Mo Hua nodded and said: "It's done."
Then Mo Hua walked into the weapon refining shop, followed by Elder Yu.
Master Ban had no time to ask, so he could only follow them inside, but he kept wondering in his heart:
What's the business? What on earth is this kid going to do?
Master Ban soon found out.
Mo Hua came to a building foundation stone, spread out a densely drawn building formation map, took out three types of formation pens from the storage bag, including micro-hair, medium-hair and large-hair, ground the five elements and five colors of spiritual ink, and then began to draw the formation.
Mo Hua held the pen in his little hand, dipped it in the spiritual ink, took a look at the formation map, and then outlined the formation patterns on the foundation stone.
His expression was calm, his technique was skillful, and he was able to use the pen with ease.
He looked like a master!
Master Ban was stunned.
The formation master that Elder Yu was talking about was this child?
This ten-year-old child could also be a formation master?
Master Ban's mood was ups and downs, and his thoughts were a little messy.
He recalled for a long time, and then he remembered why Elder Yu said he had seen a formation master.
Of course, Mo Hua often came to stroll around nearby, and even drank and chatted with him when he had nothing to do. How could he not have seen one?
Master Ban thought about it carefully. When he first met Mo Hua, Mo Hua was lying on the ground looking at the foundation stone. He should be surveying the terrain and understanding the layout of the building. After that, he often came here to see if the layout of the building conformed to the architectural formation diagram...
Thinking about it this way, these are indeed what a formation master should do, but he has never thought about it.
Master Ban felt complicated and it was no wonder that he couldn't think of it. Who else could think of it...
Master Ban looked at Mo Hua again.
Mo Hua, who was concentrating on drawing the formation, had a serious expression and a slightly condensed gaze. He was calm and composed in every stroke. His brushwork was orderly and free and unrestrained. One after another, complex formation patterns appeared under his brush, connecting into a mysterious formation.
This look was completely different from the innocent and cute child a few days ago.
Master Ban sighed. He had lived for so many years and had seen so many cultivators. He didn't expect that he had made a mistake...
