Chapter 356: Demon-Slaying Formation
Before the official start of construction, the array needs to select a site.
Boss Zhou and Elder Yu went to Mo Hua specifically to ask for his opinion.
The formation was drawn and designed by Mo Hua, so the location was naturally determined by Mo Hua.
After careful consideration, Mo Hua finally decided on the location of the formation in Heishan Village.
The Five Elements Demon-Slaying Formation is a trapping-type formation, not a defensive-type protective formation, so it cannot be placed in Tongxian City, and must even be kept away from Tongxian City.
Otherwise, once the formation is activated, Tongxian City will be affected by the spiritual power of the formation's killing spree.
The most suitable location is in the mountains.
It is the best choice to kill Feng Xi directly in the mountains and prevent him from entering the city.
Deep in the mountains, the most suitable place is naturally Black Mountain Village.
Black Mountain Village is located between two mountains. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In other words, the interior is relatively closed and is suitable for trapping and killing.
The ancestor of the Qian family built Heishan Village here because the location of Heishan Village was suitable for constructing formations.
Moreover, although Black Mountain Stronghold was destroyed, there is still a certain formation foundation. Building a large formation on this foundation can save a lot of effort.
Although Boss Zhou and Elder Yu were a little surprised, they both nodded in agreement.
Mo Hua said to Commander Yang again: "Uncle Yang, we need to find a way to contain Feng Xi and delay it for some time."
The formation is guaranteed to be built in two months, but if something unexpected happens and the construction period is delayed, and Feng Xi starts to look for food before it is completed, then something bad will happen.
Therefore, we need to try our best to prevent Feng Xi from refining his blood energy and buy more time.
Commander Yang nodded: "Don't worry, with the help of the Yang family, I have already written to the Taoist Military Department and asked for the transfer of two more Taoist soldiers. During these days, I will find ways to harass Feng Xi and delay the speed of refining his blood."
After that, everyone had a clear division of labor. Spiritual stone materials were allocated by Chief Zhou, manpower was dispatched by Elder Yu, and Mo Hua was fully responsible for the array formation.
The construction of the Five Elements Demon Slaying Formation has officially started.
The general map of the formation was designed by Mo Hua based on the formation pivot, other formation records, and the opinions of the master craftsmen.
The first step is to clean up the damaged buildings in Heishan Village and reconstruct the foundation and framework of the formation. This part is the responsibility of the craftsmen.
At the same time, the weapon refining shop in Nancheng was working day and night, and the weapon refining furnace was working day and night to start refining the array plates, array locks, array doors and other components required for the large array as array media.
The alchemist refines some elixirs that can relieve heat, detoxify, remove miasma, and restore physical and spiritual power, and supply them to the craftsmen who build the formation.
The Fushan Restaurant in the city and the Anjia Restaurant provide meals for everyone.
The demon hunters, under the leadership of Yu Chengyi, Mo Shan and others, opened a mountain road in Daheishan that started from Tongxian City, passed through the inner and outer mountains, went directly to the deep mountains, and led to the former site of Heishan Village.
The mountain road winds along the mountain, is wide and flat, and is convenient for transporting many materials needed for the formation.
At the same time, the monster hunter is also responsible for driving away the monsters on both sides of the mountain road to prevent them from attacking the monks.
A few days later, some casual cultivators from Qingxuan City also came to help, and monks from some nearby immortal cities heard that Tongxian City was going to build a large formation to fight against the big demon, so they all came together and wanted to do their part.
There are more and more monks building the formation, and the entire monastic project is becoming more and more grand.
Mo Hua stood on the top of a mountain in Heishan Village.
Looking down, you can see a long mountain road, starting from the foot of Heishan Village, winding along the mountains of Daheishan, and extending to Tongxian City.
The mountain road is crowded with people, densely packed with monks, transporting building materials and various supplies in an orderly manner.
The black mountain village at the foot has been dismantled, its foundations have been rebuilt, and the framework of some basic formations has been set up.
Master Ban and many craftsmen were busy shuttling between them, and the prototype of the large formation had already begun to appear.
In Tongxian City in the distance, the weapon refining shop is in full swing, the alchemy shop is booming, and the fushan building is full of smoke.
The prepared food boxes, elixirs, and spiritual weapons are either sent to the hands of various monks, or sent deep into the mountains along winding mountain roads...
Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of monks worked together to build a large-scale monastic formation - the Five Elements Demon Slaying Formation.
This scene shocked Mo Hua inexplicably.
"Is this the big formation..."
If a single formation is not strong enough, enough single formations are gathered together to form a large formation through the core formation.
If a single monk is not strong enough, enough monks must be gathered to work together for a common goal.
Manpower is sometimes exhausted, but as long as there are enough people, the power is endless.
In a daze, the ink painting came to enlightenment.
He can draw a large formation, kill Feng Xi, and save a city of monks.
But in fact, it is not you who is saving others, but everyone is saving yourself.
Without him, no one would be able to draw a grand formation, but without so many monks uniting as one, it would be impossible for him to build a grand formation.
Destiny is never changed by one person, but by the concerted efforts of all the monks, we can truly change our destiny!
In an instant, Mo Hua's sea of consciousness trembled slightly, his thoughts became clear, and he felt that he suddenly understood the concept of the formation.
The lines of the array core that were once a bit jerky seemed to be clearly engraved in the sea of consciousness.
A flash of enlightenment suddenly occurred, and Mo Hua felt something in his heart.
You can really build it yourself and control the entire Five Elements Demon Slaying Formation like an arm!
Master Luo, who was following Mo Hua, was sighing at the complexity of the formation. He suddenly raised his head and saw that Mo Hua seemed to have had an epiphany, and his whole body exuded a mysterious aura that was difficult for him to fathom.
As if he understood something, the formation took another step forward.
There was even a hint of the demeanor of a formation master.
At that moment, Master Luo thought he was dazzled.
He rubbed his eyes, and when he looked again, he found that all the profound aura on Mo Hua was gone, and he was still the simple little cultivator.
Because it was noon, someone shouted "Dinner is ready", Mo Hua performed the Water-passing Step, and happily ran to get the chicken leg...
Master Luo stood there blankly for a long time, then sighed with a complicated expression, and muttered to himself in self-doubt:
"Did I just dazzle my eyes..."
...
Ten days later, the bottom formation medium framework of the formation was built.
Thanks to the concerted efforts of all the cultivators, this speed was much faster than Mo Hua thought.
Next, it was necessary to draw the formal formation.
The Five Elements Demon-Slaying Formation takes the formation eye as the source, the formation hub as the overall plan, the single formation layout, and the formation medium as the cornerstone.
The array eye of the big array is composed of multiple first-grade spirit gathering arrays, which are used to refine spirit stones, absorb spiritual energy, and condense the spiritual power of the array, thereby providing the spiritual power source for the whole array.
The core of the big array is the array hub, which is the center of the overall control of the opening and closing, starting and stopping, forward and backward, strong and suppressing of spiritual power.
Only by drawing the array hub first can the single arrays extending from the array hub be arranged in sequence according to the array hub.
Similarly, in the whole big array, the array hub is the most difficult to draw, and it is also the most core and confidential part of the big array, which must be drawn by the main array master himself.
In other words, only those who can draw the array hub are qualified to become the main array master of the big array and lead the construction of the big array.
The location of the array hub, Mo Hua chose a high peak.
The terrain here is high, the field of vision is good, and it is far away from the middle area of the trap. It is suitable for controlling the big array to have a panoramic view of the overall situation, and it is not easy to be affected by the spiritual power when trapping Feng Xi.
The medium of the array hub is a huge array plate infused with fine iron, which is extremely strong and not easy to damage.
Before Mo Hua started to draw, Master Luo led all the array masters to retreat.
The array hub is the core of the large array and also the secret of the array master. When drawing, it must be kept secret.
At the same time, Master Luo also knew that this array hub might not be drawn by Mo Hua himself, but might be drawn by his teacher, so he brought all the array masters out to prevent this matter from being exposed.
Master Luo was very "thoughtful" for Mo Hua.
But he didn't know that the array hub of this large array was indeed drawn by Mo Hua himself.
The array hub is difficult to draw.
Although Mo Hua has understood it thoroughly enough, it is still very difficult to draw this array hub.
Using the array plate made of fine iron as the medium, the spiritual consciousness is consumed more when drawing the array.
Mo Hua failed twice due to insufficient spiritual consciousness, and then used the spirit-eliminating liquid to wipe out the array pattern and draw it again.
Because the pattern was too complicated, there were two mistakes, and he drew it again.
…
After failing five or six times in a row, Mo Hua never lost heart.
Because of his understanding just now, the lines of the array hub were clearly presented in his mind.
He knew that he could draw it, but he needed to be more familiar with it and also needed some trial and error opportunities.
Five days later, after countless attempts by Mo Hua, he finally drew the array hub of the Five-Star Demon Killing Array.
Mo Hua used his spiritual consciousness to penetrate the array hub, and the lines were clearly visible. The paths and trajectories of different spiritual powers were also consistent with the records on the jade slip of the array.
Mo Hua was worried and checked it from beginning to end several times, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Success!
Mo Hua looked at the profound and complex array hub in front of him, and joy arose spontaneously.
The array hub has a rigorous structure, and the accumulation of fine brushes forms a heavy front, which has a complex and profound beauty.
The only flaw is that it was the first time that Mo Hua drew the array hub on the array plate. He was not familiar with the brushwork and smeared it a little too many times, so it didn’t look very beautiful.
Although it is not very beautiful, it is OK as long as it can be used!
Mo Hua thinks that it is more important for cultivators to be pragmatic, and practicality is better than anything else.
After the formation hub was drawn, Master Luo led other formation masters in. Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone was shocked.
This is the formation hub of the big formation...
The complex patterns are daunting, and it seems that they can't learn it at a glance...
After Master Luo sighed, he looked at the formation hub for a long time.
On the one hand, he was shocked that this master had superb attainments in formations and could actually draw the formation hub of the big formation;
On the other hand, he was puzzled. Why did this "master" look a little unfamiliar with his brushwork, like a child's graffiti, smearing so many times...
