Chapter 623: Unspoken but Spread
Xiao Yuer's life in the sect began.
He ate and lived with Mo Hua every day, but of course he couldn't attend classes.
Because he had just started to refine his Qi, he needed to warm up his meridians and lay a solid foundation.
This method of strengthening the foundation is very expensive and requires a lot of natural treasures and precious spiritual liquids. The specific methods vary from person to person, and the inheritance methods of each family are different. Taixu Sect doesn't teach these.
So when Mo Hua went to the preaching pavilion to attend classes, Yuer stayed in the disciples' residence to strengthen his foundation, practice, and do homework. Then, under the guidance of Wenren Wei, he learned some Taoist classics.
Mo Hua finished class and returned to the disciples' residence.
Yuer held a small bowl and sat next to Mo Hua to eat with Mo Hua.
The other disciples were dumbfounded when they saw little Yuer.
Wearing a small Taixu Taoist robe, he looked like a Taixu disciple, but he was too young to be a Taixu disciple...
Cheng Mo asked Mo Hua: "Mo Hua, who is this kid?"
Yu'er was unhappy and said in a baby voice: "I'm not a kid, my name is Shangguan Yu!"
"Shangguan Yu?" Cheng Mo frowned, "Shangguan family?"
Yu'er ignored him, lowered her head and imitated Mo Hua, and began to put rice into her mouth.
Cheng Mo was helpless, he couldn't get angry with a little kid, so he asked Mo Hua:
"Your brother?"
Mo Hua touched Yu'er's head and said: "I guess so..."
Cheng Mo stared at Mo Hua, then stared at Yu'er, and muttered: "He really looks a bit like..."
"Shangguan family..." A disciple on the other side was surprised and asked quietly, "Mo Hua, do you have the blood of the Shangguan family?"
Mo Hua shook his head, "No."
Cheng Mo cursed the disciple in a low voice:
"Stupid, can you say such a thing? You must hide it, still I think Mo Hua must be the illegitimate son of the Shangguan family who is living outside..."
Mo Hua was also unhappy and said:
"If you have time, you can do more homework and practice more formations. I think you should use your limited time to study the Bagua formation instead of studying Bagua here..."
Cheng Mo had a headache when he heard about the formation, and immediately became honest and said with a smile:
"No, no, 'little senior brother', I was just joking..."
Yu'er saw that Mo Hua's words made this tall and strong big guy obedient, and his eyes were bright and full of admiration.
"It seems that Brother Mo is also very powerful in Taixu Sect!"
Yu'er, who was a little nervous because he entered Taixu Sect and met a bunch of strangers, immediately hardened his waist.
He moved closer to Mo Hua again, holding the small bowl and eating peacefully.
Yu'er lived in the disciples' residence from then on.
He looks cute and kind-hearted, like a mascot, very likable.
Yu'er and Mo Hua are very close.
Mo Hua is also their "little senior brother".
With this relationship, everyone takes good care of Yu'er.
What's more, he is accompanied by a guard, whose aura is obscure, but his demeanor is extraordinary, like a deep abyss and a mountain, and he is as steady as a mountain. Obviously, his cultivation is extremely profound.
He was admitted to school with a guard.
This is obviously not an ordinary child.
Some disciples have some origins with the Shangguan family. Huizu asked the elders and learned about Yu'er's identity, which shocked them.
They also knew what the three words "Shangguan Yu" meant, and their eyes looking at Mo Hua were even more "meaningful".
The Shangguan family sent the next head of the family's legitimate son to the Taixu Gate to be your "little follower".
How deep is the "relationship" and how strong is the "backstage"...
And you still say you have no background? Are you kidding?
These disciples became more polite to Mo Hua.
Mo Hua was a little confused...
...
Yu'er moved into the disciple residence, and Mo Hua's life changed a little, but after adapting for a few days, he soon settled down.
During the day, he still went to class, practiced, and studied.
Occasionally, he took over for Mr. Xun's class.
It should have been "occasionally", but Mr. Xun became more and more lazy, saying that he was old and had less energy, so he became a hands-off boss. Now, Mo Hua basically taught the formation.
I just don't know how much of it is true.
After class, Mo Hua returned to the disciple residence and did homework with Yu'er when he was free.
He thought about spells and practiced formations.
Yu'er was serious and did basic enlightenment lessons.
During the day, Yu'er couldn't calm down, he was a little nervous and uneasy, and didn't want to do homework. Only when he was with Mo Hua in the evening did he feel at ease and study more seriously.
At midnight, Yu'er went to bed.
Mo Hua also slept, but on one hand, he was on guard against demons disturbing Yu'er next door, and on the other hand, his consciousness sank into the sea of consciousness and continued to learn the formation.
Fortunately, no demon was ignorant enough to disturb Yu'er.
But it was a pity that no demon was blind enough to send "rations" to Mo Hua...
In this way, the daily life of the sect was peaceful and serene, busy and fulfilling.
When it was the ten-day break, Mo Hua went out with Senior Sister Murong and the others to do bounty missions.
Mo Hua's original idea was to designate the mission first, then Uncle Gu would issue the mission, Senior Sister Murong would take the mission, and he would follow the mission, and after catching the sinner, he would get both inheritance and merit.
But this was still too idealistic.
He rarely went to Daotingsi, so he could not meet Uncle Gu at all, and he could not let Uncle Gu issue the mission.
From the source, it failed.
Mo Hua sighed.
He could only think of a way later when he had the chance to meet Uncle Gu.
On the Daotingsi side, there is no way out for the time being, and the current ink painting can only accept the reward at will.
I took some time to look at Taixu Ling when I had time. When I saw a task that seemed "suspicious" to my intuition, I quickly contacted Murong Caiyun and asked her to take the next step.
After getting along for a period of time, Mo Hua unexpectedly discovered that Senior Sister Murong's status among fellow Taixu Sect members was much higher than he thought.
She has high prestige, good popularity, and is one of the best in talents and abilities from her family. She is a veritable "senior sister" among the disciples of her generation.
Therefore, her authority to accept tasks is also extremely high.
Murong Caiyun can take on any task that Mo Hua wants to take on.
Thanks to this, even though he just accepted the reward "by chance", Mo Hua could often catch some criminal cultivators and seize some spells.
As for Murong Caiyun, she gradually got used to Mo Hua, her junior brother, and worked with her on tasks.
Because she took the mission, she was with Mo Hua on basically every mission, so she knew the most about Mo Hua.
Although Mo Hua is physically weak, his spiritual power is weak, and his personal killing ability is relatively weak.
But apart from that, he is good at hiding and has superb body skills, enough to protect himself...
Proficient in reconnaissance, spying, tracking, setting traps, coordinating sieges, spell control... everything.
He is also very good at formations, and he knows all kinds of weird, cunning, and even some formations that he has never heard of before.
Except for the slightly insufficient lethality, it is simply a treasure chest of formations, an all-powerful junior...
Every time I take the ink painting with me to do a task, it is very worry-free.
But she also has regrets in her heart, that is, the Five Elements Amplification Formation.
Murong Caiyun didn't say anything, but he couldn't forget in his heart the feeling of being blessed by the formation and boiling with spiritual power.
She thought about it, wanting to experience it again, the feeling of the five elements increasing and the spiritual power flowing rapidly, the spell increasing the damage and killing everyone.
It's a pity that there are no opportunities later.
Opponents that can be dealt with can be defeated without the need for five-element amplification spells.
The best option for an unbeatable opponent is not to take action forcefully.
They were originally evenly matched, but after using a series of methods such as Mo Hua's reconnaissance, ambush, siege, and control, they have become much weaker.
There is also no need for spell amplification.
There is no need to use extremely expensive high-quality spells to decide the outcome.
Unless you encounter a truly powerful enemy, or have to fight to the death in a life-and-death battle...
…
Two more months passed like this, and Mo Hua kept following the mission.
He completed many bounties, arrested seven or eight criminal cultivators, and seized several Five Elements spells. His meritorious service points also increased, reaching one thousand one hundred and thirty points.
Five hundred of them were given by Yin Lao Er's mission.
Yin Laoer's mission did not have so many merits, but he himself was a wanted criminal by Daotingsi. He was proficient in hidden assassinations and had many lives under his command.
These miscellaneous crimes, when accumulated, can be converted into a large amount of merit.
Mo Hua couldn't be happier.
The seven or eight criminal cultivators arrested after that were just ordinary criminal cultivators and lackluster, so some of them only had more than a hundred points, and some of them only had dozens of points.
But Mo Hua is also very content.
No matter how little it is, it is still much better than drawing a first-grade formation by yourself and saving up as many points as you like.
One thousand one hundred and thirty o'clock!
Mo Hua feels rich!
These merit points are all saved by myself. Ink Painting is a bit reluctant to use them, but in everything, it is important to "make the best use of everything". If you don't use them, there is no point in earning merit points by yourself.
He then arrived at the Merit Pavilion, and under the shocked eyes of the meritorious elders, he generously bought six sets of second-grade and sixteen-pattern formations in one go.
A total of more than a thousand merit points were spent.
The meritorious elder was stunned for a long time, and then said in disbelief:
"You kid, have you been robbed?"
Mo Hua shook his head.
"Then you committed murder and cheated?"
"Stealing someone else's Taixu Order?"
"Or did you... secretly tamper with the Taixu Order?!"
Mo Hua was speechless, "Elder, am I such a person?"
The meritorious elder stared at the ink painting with picturesque features, glanced at it, shook his head and said:
"It doesn't look like it, but I don't know behind the scenes..."
"I have to be able to do things like killing people, stealing goods, and tampering with the Taixu Order..." Mo Hua said helplessly.
The meritorious elder thought for a while and nodded, "That's right, I think highly of you..."
The meritorious elder thought about it again.
Taixu Ling's system has been used for so many years, so it should be impossible to make mistakes. Since he has it and uses it openly, he should have no worries.
As for the specific origin...
Since the Taixu order has been entered, it must be in compliance with the rules and procedures, and there is no need for me to embarrass this little kid.
"wait……"
The meritorious elder turned around, took out several array diagrams from the jade cabinets lined up behind, sealed them together, made notes, and handed them to Mo Hua.
But he was a little curious.
"Bahekan Water Formation, Floating Clouds and Sunda Wind Formation, Gentu Mountain Formation..."
"These are the formations of the second grade and sixteen patterns, right? You are only in the early stage of foundation building, what did you do instead?"
Mo Hua smiled and said: "I will study..."
The meritorious elder said solemnly: "This is no child's play. If you don't have enough spiritual consciousness, if you study these formations, your consciousness will be exhausted and your foundation will be damaged..."
"Yeah!" Mo Hua accepted the kindness of the meritorious elder and said with a smile: "Elder, don't worry, Mr. Xun knows."
Mo Hua moved Mr. Xun out again.
Mr. Xun’s reputation is indeed very useful. When the meritorious elder heard this, he said with relief:
"Okay, go ahead and follow Mr. Xun and learn hard."
"Okay, elder!"
Mo Hua bowed and said goodbye.
Back at the back of the disciples' quarters, while accompanying Yu'er to do her homework, Mo Hua spread out these second-grade sixteen-pattern formations one by one and looked at them with great interest.
A total of six pairs.
They are all Bagua system formations, the Sixteen Patterns are considered common formations, but they are also relatively unfamiliar formations in ink painting.
But the principles of formation can be understood all at once.
Mo Hua has been studying the Eight Diagrams Formation for some time, and has gradually gained his own experience. Even if the formation is unfamiliar at this time, he has mastered it by thinking about it on his own.
After a while, practice on the Taoist monument over and over again.
It took about a month to learn ink painting almost.
At this time, Mo Hua realized that he was too busy these days and forgot one thing:
The second-grade sixteen-pattern formation is already a second-grade mid-level formation master, and it is the formation that must be learned for the fixed-grade assessment.
And his current level of formation master is only the first level, which is really too low.
"Do you want to exchange it for a second-grade Tianshu ring?"
"I don't know if the second-grade Tianshu Ring is good-looking or not."
Mo Hua muttered in his heart and went to the elder's residence again.
There are too many aristocratic families here in Qianzhou, and the power is complicated. It is difficult to decide on the final product. It is better to be modest and ask Mr. Xun for advice.
The elder is in the middle, and Mr. Xun is drinking tea leisurely.
The formation class was all left to Mo Hua. Mr. Xun was relieved. He was a little free now and could take the time to sort out his lifelong experience of teaching formation.
Then, if this experience is given to Mo Hua, he can almost become the hands-on shopkeeper.
This is not the first time that ink paintings have come to Mr. Xun’s room.
The kid at the door didn't stop him either.
The interior is simple, clean, spotless, and has no clutter, giving it a sense of returning to nature.
After Mo Hua entered the door, he bowed and asked Mr. Xun in a low voice:
"Old sir, is it appropriate for me to order a second-level primary formation master now?"
"Is it a final product..."
Mr. Xun took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, let's decide..."
As if remembering something, Mr. Xun put down his tea cup and asked casually: "What did you learn?"
"Almost sixteen lines..." Mo Hua said.
"It's sixteen lines..." Mr. Xun nodded, "That's almost it. If you learn more and consolidate it, you'll be in the second rank..."
Mr. Xun hesitated for a moment, frowned and said, "How many lines?"
"sixteen……"
Mr. Xun was stunned for a long time, looking at the ink paintings and unable to say a word.
Only then did Mo Hua remember that he had not told Mr. Xun about the sixteen patterns of his spiritual consciousness.
And the elders of Taixu Sect will not peek into the sea of consciousness of their disciples.
"Old sir..."
Mo Hua said softly.
Mr. Xun finally came back to his senses and his brows trembled, "When did it happen?"
It was quite a while ago...
That time I went to Shangguan's house, guarded Yu'er at night, killed a bunch of demons and ghosts, and "ate" a ram's horn to worship her. After digestion, my consciousness was sixteen lines.
However, Mo Hua was afraid that Mr. Xun would not be able to accept it, so he euphemistically said: "Just these two days..."
"Um."
Mr. Xun nodded, pretending to be calm, but he couldn't help but let out a breath of cold air...
Sixteen lines!
How long has it been since then, and I have sixteen lines of spiritual consciousness!
In the early stage of foundation building, the sixteen lines of spiritual consciousness have not reached their limit yet! What kind of little monster is this from his grandma?
The Taixu Gate has been open to accept disciples for thousands of years, and I'm afraid it has never seen such a little monster!
He wanted to take some time to visit the Taixu ancestor's tomb in the forbidden area of the back mountain.
See if there is any smoke!
Mr. Xun forced himself to calm down, frowned, and remembered what happened before, suddenly feeling enlightened.
No wonder...
"You asked me about the Sixteen Patterns and the Beacon Fire Yuan Magnetic Array before..."
"It turns out that the spiritual consciousness is about to reach the sixteenth line, so I want to ask for advice in advance to facilitate my understanding later..."
"Be steady and steady, and you can also preview in a forward-looking way, which is good..."
When Mo Hua saw Mr. Xun, his always serious and rigid face changed, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he asked:
"Mr., can I place an order?"
Mr. Xun was startled and raised his eyebrows.
Of course!
If you can’t order the product, who can?
Sixteen lines of spiritual consciousness, such a profound knowledge of formations, if this cannot be determined, I will pluck the noses of all the examiners who are determined.
But just as Mr. Xun was about to speak, he paused again, and there was another trace of worry between his eyebrows.
Sixteen lines...
That's outrageous...
If this is really decided, there will definitely be an uproar.
He has just started, less than a year ago, and if he has been in the limelight like this, he will be hated and coveted by others.
Under the fame, it is easy to be impatient and lose a sense of balance, making it difficult to concentrate on studying formations.
You will also be targeted by some unscrupulous people...
Such a good seedling cannot be ruined before it has grown up...
Mr. Xun thought about it for a long time, shook his head, and sighed: "It's a bit difficult..."
Mo Hua was shocked, "Isn't it still difficult to finalize the sixteen lines?"
Old Mr.
"For things like formation, it also depends on talent, understanding, and more importantly, training."
"This is the boundary of Qianxue State. There are countless geniuses and formation geniuses, as numerous as stars, countless..."
"Remain humble..."
"Don't underestimate others..."
"Some people may not have the same spiritual consciousness as you, but they have been exposed to formations since they were young. They have a deep family background, and their experience and knowledge of formations may not be inferior to yours..."
Mo Hua thought about it for a moment and couldn't help but nodded. He felt that Mr. Xun's words made sense.
Don’t underestimate Qianzhou’s formation genius!
Mo Hua said sincerely: "What the old gentleman said is that there is heaven outside the sky and there are people outside the world. This disciple understands!"
Mr. Xun glanced at Mo Hua silently and thought to himself, it's okay for others to say this, but don't say it yourself.
Who is the "heaven" outside the sky?
But it was hard for him to explain clearly.
Mr. Xun thought for a while, sighed again, and added:
"And the most important thing..."
"Even if you have the ability to make an appointment, the Tao Ting's decision depends on the quota and recommendation. After all, you are too young and have too little qualifications, so it is not convenient for you to be recommended..."
"The assessment process is actually a relatively rigid 'exam-taking'. It has a tedious process, and you have to learn a lot of things that are standardized and formulaic, but not real..."
"This will waste a lot of time, and to be honest, it will not enhance your formation level."
"Your current task is to learn the formations, be down-to-earth, and improve yourself. Don't waste time on these rigid, exam-oriented things."
"When your attainments are high enough in the future and you have a need, you can then consider ordering the product."
"In the face of the absolute strength of the formation, those trivial thresholds for taking the exam are not worth mentioning..."
Mo Hua nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
But at the same time, he had a trace of concern: "Old sir, I can't determine the rank, I can't take on the formation tasks of the second rank, and it's very slow to accumulate merit..."
In fact, he is no longer slow in accumulating meritorious deeds.
But he wanted to go faster...
"What meritorious service..."
Mr. Xun stroked his beard and nodded slightly.
This is indeed a problem.
He had ignored it before.
To draw the sixteen lines of spiritual consciousness in ink, it is natural to learn the sixteen lines formation.
It can be exchanged for the Sixteen Pattern Formation, which requires a lot of merit points. If he is expected to do those "entry" tasks and save little by little, he will probably be able to save them until the end of the Year of the Monkey.
This will greatly slow down the progress of Mo Hua's formation formation.
This also goes against my original intention.
Let Mo Hua accumulate meritorious deeds so that he can undergo some training, get to know fellow sect members, help each other, and have a sense of sect honor, rather than deliberately making things difficult for him.
Mr. Xun thought for a moment and then said:
"It doesn't matter, I'll change your permissions. You will be a second-grade formation master in Taixu Sect."
Mo Hua was stunned.
Can this also work...
Mo Hua asked in a low voice: "If you change it to the second grade, will it be regarded as the second grade?"
"That's natural..." Mr. Xun said, "If you decide on the product, and the sect approves it, you will be given the corresponding authority. Although you have not yet determined the product, after my approval, I can still give you permission..."
"Sect authority is a kind of permission."
"With permission, you can take on the mission."
"Otherwise, if you accept a second-grade formation mission, do you still need to show the second-grade Tianshu Ring?"
"oh oh."
Mo Hua nodded, indicating that he understood.
"You're too vain to give me your order..."
Mo Hua handed the Taixu Order to Mr. Xun.
Mr. Xun took the Taixu Order and without thinking about anything else, he started to modify the authority of the Taixu Order in front of Mo Hua...
The ink painting on the side looked at it and suddenly froze.
There was a storm in his heart.
Opening permissions is simple and takes a short time. You can change the permissions, which is different.
If it were before, Mo Hua wouldn't understand.
But it's different now. He has learned the Yuan Magnetic Array, and using the trick to calculate the amplification, he has gained insight into the essence of the magnetic patterns - secondary thunder patterns.
He even accumulated a "Treasure of Secondary Thunder Patterns" and used the Secondary Thunder Patterns to unlock the sealing patterns and secret patterns.
Now he can clearly feel...
The so-called "modification of permissions" is essentially Mr. Xun using a very special secondary thunder pattern to reversely affect the formation, change the double magnetic pattern, thereby modifying the bottom layer of the Taixu Order and changing his own permissions! !
Mo Hua was stunned.
This feeling is like...
Someone used a golden key to demonstrate in front of him how to open the secret treasure house...
