Chapter 673: Shinto Formation

It's over. I said too much at once.

Mo Hua's eyes were innocent and deep, shining like stars and penetrating like candlelight. He just stared at Huang Shanjun.

Huang Shanjun felt uneasy when he was stared at.

"Well, it's... I lived... a little bit longer..."

Huang Shanjun immediately sorted out his thoughts, "The life span of gods is very long. This withered mountain is deserted and the broken temple is remote. I, a small mountain god, live here and no one disturbs me. I have wasted more time."

"Later, alas... If I hadn't made a mistake and had your sect elders cut off my foundation, I wouldn't have fallen to this point..."

Huang Shanjun sighed and pretended to be frustrated.

Mo Hua suddenly felt embarrassed.

Although Huang Shanjun was not killed by him, it was his senior in Taixu Sect who did it.

He was more or less involved in the karma of cutting off Huang Shanjun's foundation of the way of gods.

However, Mo Hua still wanted to clear the name of his sect senior, raised his finger and corrected:

"It was because you went astray that Senior Jian Xiu killed you, don't blame him."

"Yes, yes." Huang Shanjun nodded repeatedly and said frankly, "It was indeed my fault."

Mo Hua nodded with satisfaction.

Huang Shanjun silently changed the topic again and said calmly:

"What else do you want to ask?"

Mo Hua was distracted by Huang Shanjun's words and didn't bother about how long it had lived.

What else do you want to ask?

Mo Hua blinked and pondered in his mind.

There are still many things he wants to ask, and they are complicated and messy. Huang Shanjun may not be able to answer some of them.

In this case, let's start with the most critical issue at the moment.

"If... I meet the evil god..."

Huang Shanjun's hands trembled, he took a breath, and his voice changed, "You met the evil god?!"

Mo Hua emphasized: "I said 'if'!"

Huang Shanjun breathed a sigh of relief, "You kid, don't scare me..."

Mo Hua was a little puzzled, "I just mentioned it casually, are you so scared?"

Huang Shanjun shook his head, "That's because you don't understand how terrible the evil god is..."

"Ordinary evil gods are often bloody and evil, and they will take revenge..."

" Some ancient evil gods are even more terrifying and unpredictable, with evil thoughts raging. If they target you, not to mention ordinary cultivators, even decent gods often don’t have a good ending...”

“If you really run into an evil god, it’s best to run as far away as possible.”

“Once you fall into it and become a pawn of the evil god, the contamination of flesh and blood is a small matter, but your mind is eroded, your Tao heart is degraded, and you become a sacrifice, puppet, or slave of the evil god... You are truly neither human nor ghost, unable to live or die...”

Mo Hua sighed silently in his heart.

That being said, it’s a pity that it’s too late...

Practicing the "Tian Yan Jue" set of skills is like getting on a pirate ship.

Even if the evil gods don’t come to find me, I’m afraid I will have to find them...

If I don’t "eat" them, how can I break through the bottleneck, how can I improve my cultivation, how can I break through the realm?

Huang Shanjun was about to say something when he was startled and looked at Mo Hua warily, "You didn't...really meet the evil god?"

Mo Hua raised his eyebrows slightly, "If I really met the evil god, would I still be here?"

Huang Shanjun thought about it and nodded:

"That's right..."

Even if this little ancestor is very powerful, there is absolutely no reason for him to escape from the evil god.

It's good that he didn't have his flesh and blood contaminated by the evil god, and he was "eaten alive". How could he still be here and talk and laugh with me?

Huang Shanjun nodded silently, but was puzzled, "Why do you have to ask about the evil god?"

Mo Hua sighed, "The cultivation world is so dangerous. I am a weak little cultivator. I am trembling with fear and treading on thin ice. Naturally, I have to know more..."

"Knowing more about everything can reduce the danger."

"Especially for the 'terrible' thing like the evil god, you should know it in advance, know yourself and the enemy, and if you encounter it in the future, you can be on guard, so that you will not be careless and fall into the tiger's mouth and be 'eaten' by the evil god..."

Huang Shanjun pondered for a moment and believed Mo Hua's nonsense.

It felt that what Mo Hua said was very reasonable.

Although from its intuition as a mountain god, Mo Hua, this child, is an unknown big trouble.

But putting aside the trouble, it actually likes Mo Hua in its heart.

The breath is pure and the appearance is cute.

For so many years, it is also the only human cub who will travel through mountains and rivers and bring offerings to itself.

Although occasionally, there is some evil in innocence.

There was something strange in the purity.

But it was natural that a cultivator who could deal with a mountain god like him was still a little kid, so it was natural that he had some extraordinary qualities.

"Just treat it as a good relationship..."

Huang Shanjun took another bite of the chicken leg.

I don't know how this chicken leg was made, it was really delicious.

It was better not to hide it, lest it appear petty in front of this little kid.

"There is a difference between gods and humans. As a mountain god, I shouldn't have told you these words..."

Huang Shanjun sighed, "But you, kid, are a little special. Now that you can meet a mountain god like me, it is not impossible that you will meet an evil god in the future. For the sake of these offerings, I will tell you..."

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, and he immediately moved his butt and got closer to Huang Shanjun.

Huang Shanjun coughed, cleared his throat, and said slowly:

"Things like evil gods are complicated and long to explain. You don't have relevant knowledge, so I can only tell you from the beginning..."

"People's spiritual consciousness is divided into grades."

"The spiritual consciousness of gods is different. It is divided into grades and ranks."

Mo Hua frowned, not quite understanding.

Huang Shanjun explained: "In other words, the many gods in the world are divided into realms according to grades and positions according to ranks."

"For example, I am a second-grade mountain god. 'Second-grade' is the realm, and 'mountain god' is the position, which can also be called the rank of god."

"The rank of god is determined by the 'essence' of the god itself..."

Mo Hua's heart trembled.

Essence? !

I killed Yang Jiao Fengxing and Golden Evil Eyes, and after swallowing them, the "essence" that made the spiritual consciousness further "qualitatively changed"!

Huang Shanjun said: "The essence is the essence of the origin of the gods. It contains the origin of the gods and is the manifestation of the transformation of the gods. The higher the level of the essence, the higher the god's god level."

"It is manifested in silver, light gold, pure gold, jade white, glass color and other avenue colors..."

There are so many kinds of essence!

Mo Hua's eyes lit up and he couldn't help licking his lips.

Huang Shanjun was halfway through his speech when he suddenly felt a shock in his heart. He looked at Mo Hua in shock but didn't understand why, and the rest of the words were stuck in his mouth.

Mo Hua couldn't help but say:

"Shanjun, keep talking, the essence..."

Huang Shanjun hesitated for a moment and felt that he should still follow the premonition of the gods and not say too much.

"The essence is used by gods to advance to the god level. It has nothing to do with you. You are a human cultivator, it doesn't matter if you don't know..." Huang Shanjun said vaguely.

Mo Hua was a little unhappy.

Huang Shanjun was afraid that Mo Hua would ask more questions, so he skipped this point immediately and said quickly:

"The realm of the gods, that is, the grade, represents the 'quantity' of the manifestation of the divine thoughts. The god's rank represents the dignity of the divine essence and the height of the divine position, that is, the distinction of the 'quality' of the gods."

"The strength of the gods is determined by both the realm and the rank."

"The realm of the gods determines the ultimate size of the gods' bodies. The higher the grade, the stronger the gods and the larger the bodies."

"But the realm of the gods is greatly affected by the rank."

"For example, the lowest-level gods are wandering gods, and the higher ones are mountain gods like me."

"A third-grade wandering god can suppress a second-grade wandering god, but a third-grade wandering god may not be able to suppress a second-grade mountain god."

"Because the realm is higher, but the gods are The rank is one level lower. When it comes to the real struggle for power, anyone can win or lose..."

Mo Hua felt very strange and wondered:

"This seems to be very different from the realm of cultivators..."

Huang Shanjun nodded and said, "This is natural. Cultivators are human beings, not gods."

"These things are secrets that only gods know. Generally, gods will not tell these things to human cultivators."

"Those who lack divine thoughts cannot see gods."

"Sometimes two mountain gods fight for power in the mountains, fighting for life and death, with invisible divine thoughts surging. If the cultivators passing by have low divine thoughts, they may be like 'blind people', unable to see or sense anything."

"Oh oh..."

Mo Hua nodded repeatedly, and then personally poured a glass of wine for Huang Shanjun to thank him for teaching him the Taoism of gods.

Huang Shanjun drank the wine that Mo Hua poured for him and felt much more comfortable.

Mo Hua asked again: "What about the evil god? What kind of god rank is the evil god? If a god becomes an evil god, will his essence be polluted?"

Huang Shanjun said solemnly: "When a god degenerates into an evil god, his god rank will not change, but his essence will be polluted..."

Mo Hua was stunned.

Polluted...

Then he ate two portions of the evil god's essence, one from the sheep horn and one from the golden evil eye. Aren't they both polluted?

Has he been polluted?

Mo Hua was shocked and asked hurriedly:

"What does the essence look like after being polluted?"

Huang Shanjun's face was stern: "After being polluted, the evil thoughts of the fallen evil god will be like evil poison, lodging in the depths of the essence and merging with the essence. The essence will not die, and the evil thoughts will not disappear..."

"Evil god evil thoughts?"

Mo Hua was stunned.

He remembered that the golden evil eye was wiped out by the thunderbolt that day, and there was a phantom like a golden sheep horn demon, which was wiped out together.

Could that phantom be the evil thoughts of the fallen evil god that merged into the essence of the spirit?

Mo Hua slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he was smart and had long felt that the golden "big eyeball" was not right, and might be hiding a ghost, so he used the thunder to "disinfect" it in advance.

Otherwise, he would have "eaten" the essence of the evil god without knowing it.

Maybe his brain is broken now.

Once the heart of Tao is polluted, the consciousness is devoured, and the sea of ​​consciousness becomes a hotbed of evil thoughts.

Sooner or later, he will become a complete little evil god.

The key is that this kind of danger is hard to guard against.

Without the inheritance of theology, he is confused about the affairs of the gods. Even if he wants to guard against the evil god, he has no way to start.

"What a close call..."

Mo Hua was still frightened and nodded secretly, "The evil god is really terrible!"

He almost "ate" the undisinfected eyeball of the evil god.

Huang Shanjun saw Mo Hua showing a frightened look, probably because of what he said, he was afraid of the evil god, so he nodded.

It’s good to be afraid...

Mo Hua asked again: "Then how should I deal with the evil god?"

Huang Shanjun was stunned, "Deal with it?"

"No," Mo Hua corrected, "...be careful!"

"Oh." Mr. Huangshan nodded and said solemnly: "If you want to be wary of evil gods, you must first understand the way evil gods preach."

"The evil god's sermon is similar to the ordinary god's sermon, but the method will be very bloody and strange."

“Evil spirits divide preaching.”

"Because gods are also restricted by the law of heaven, a great evil god will often divide his divine body into many first-, second-, or third-grade 'divine skeletons' and spread them across the borders of various low-grade states in Kyushu to the maximum extent. Spread evil ways, borrow people’s corrupt desires, and feed themselves back..."

"Preaching idols, parasitic flesh and blood, nourishing desires, devouring people's hearts..."

"The evil god also wants to 'food sacrifice', using human flesh, blood, and spiritual consciousness as sacrifices."

"Especially, the deformed desires rooted in the hearts of people, the filthy sins of cause and effect, and the bloody and fanatical beliefs. These are all good sacrifices to the evil god..."

Huang Shanjun thought for a while and concluded:

"So in the future, if you encounter weird idols, evil monks, demon altars, flesh and blood sacrifices, deformed sins... they will most likely be related to evil gods."

"...Don't hesitate, run as far as you can."

"Yeah!" Mo Hua nodded repeatedly, then blinked and said humbly, "What if I can't run away?"

Huangshan Jun shook his head, "Then there's nothing I can do."

"You are a mountain god, so there is nothing you can do about it?"

Huangshan Jun said a little aggrievedly:

"How can the mountain god fight with the evil god..."

Forget about the evil god, I'm afraid I can't even fight a little monk like you...

Huangshan Jun silently cursed in his heart.

"Is there any way?" Mo Hua asked again.

Huang Shanjun looked at the ink painting, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said:

"If you are lucky in the future and can learn the formation to restrain the gods, you may be able to fight..."

Mo Hua was startled for a moment, then he became energetic and his eyes sparkled.

"A formation to restrain the gods?!"

"Well..." Mr. Huangshan nodded, suddenly looking wary, "Don't use it to defeat me..."

"Don't worry, you are not an evil god!" Mo Hua comforted Mr. Huangshan, "Besides, we are good friends."

Although Huang Shanjun doesn't quite agree with the word "good friend", he doesn't dare to raise any objections.

Friends are always better than enemies.

"Is there any difference between the formation to restrain the gods and the ordinary formation?" Mo Hua asked enthusiastically.

He never expected that when he came to ask the gods about things, he would actually hear the secrets of new formations from Mr. Huangshan.

Huangshan Jun nodded, "This is natural..."

It sighed, looked up at the sky along the broken roof of the ruined temple, and sighed:

"There is a great road in heaven and earth, and the great road transforms into thousands, and all thousands are all dharma."

"The formation method is one of the ways to manifest the thousands of avenues, but compared to other methods, the formation method is closer to the origin of the avenue."

"There are thousands of avenues, and naturally there are thousands of formations. There are many categories and different rules."

Huang Shanjun looked at the ink painting, "Most of the formations commonly used by you humans are based on natural forces such as the Five Elements and Bagua, but their root is to consume spiritual consciousness, understand the way of heaven, apply laws, and manifest through natural spiritual powers such as the Five Elements and Bagua. come out……"

"The formation contains not only the power of divine thoughts, but also the spiritual power of the Five Elements and Bagua."

"Different formations have different emphasis on natural spiritual power and spiritual power."

"When dealing with people, the spiritual power of the Five Elements and Bagua is naturally the main one."

"But to deal with God..."

Huangshan Jun paused and corrected himself, "We have to deal with the 'evil god'..."

It bites the word "evil god" very hard, which probably means that I am not an evil god, so don't deal with me.

Mo Hua nodded understandingly.

Huangshan Jun then continued: "To deal with the evil god, we must focus on the 'power of divine thoughts' in the formation."

"The law of heaven and earth is that the visible will harm the visible, and the invisible will harm the invisible."

"The spiritual power of the physical body is 'tangible'."

"Blood Qi turns into strength, and spiritual power turns into spells, which can damage the 'tangible' physical body, meridians and Qi sea."

"The divine thoughts are 'invisible'."

"The true nature of a god is a certain type of divine thought condensed by all the spirits of heaven and earth. When the original statue of the god is unknown, the power of divine thought must be used to hurt the 'invisible' god."

"Therefore, in ancient times, some powerful monks, in order to restrain the evil gods, manifested part of the rules of heaven and earth to form a formation that can maximize the power of divine thoughts."

"This type of formation emphasizes the 'invisible' gods and despises the 'tangible' power. It has a strong restraint effect on the sneaky gods, but its lethality is very weak against ordinary monks."

"Some ancient monks collectively refer to this type of formation as..."

Huangshan Jun's eyes narrowed slightly, showing deep awe.

"Shinto formation!"

Shinto formation...

Mo Hua's heart was shocked and he couldn't help but hold his breath.

This name sounds handsome and strong as soon as you hear it!

Want to learn!

Mo Hua's eyes were bright and he couldn't help but ask:

"How to learn Shinto formations..."

Huangshan Jun shook his head, "I am a little mountain god. I am neither a human nor an array master. How could I know..."

"And since the cultivation world has lasted for so many years, most of the formations created by ancient monks have been lost. If you want to find them, it's not easy to find them."

"Even if you find it, it's difficult to learn."

"If it is sealed in some big monastic forces and is regarded as a 'taboo', it is even less likely that you will be allowed to learn it."

Mo Hua was a little disappointed, "Shouldn't such an important thing be passed down from generation to generation and carried forward?"

Huangshan Jun said meaningfully: "In ancient times, the human race was weak, and the ones who killed the most were demons, demons, and evil gods."

"Later, when the human race became stronger, the people who killed the most were humans."

"How can this kind of formation to restrain gods be more important than the formation to 'kill people'?"

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment and looked thoughtful.

"and……"

Huangshan Jun raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of pride in his eyes:

"Since it is a 'Shinto' formation that can exert the ultimate power of divine thoughts, how can it be that ordinary monks can learn it if they want, master it if they want, and teach it to them if they want?"

"How can the gods of heaven and earth, with their overwhelming power, be so easy to control?"

"If a person with weak spiritual consciousness really overestimates his own abilities, attempts to violate taboos and blasphemes the gods, he will surely die without a burial place!"

Mo Hua felt awe-struck, and then looked at Huangshan Jun doubtfully.

Mr. Huangshan was flustered by Mo Hua's innocent gaze, and immediately restrained his "arrogant" expression, and said gently and humbly:

"Of course, this is all what I've heard. I'm a little down-and-out mountain god, and I don't know much..."

Mo Hua looked at Huangshan Jun deeply.

Huangshan Jun smiled on the outside, but he was panicking in his heart.

Fortunately, Mo Hua did not delve into it, but asked another question:

"The 'Shinto' formation can restrain the gods, but what about the 'Sword of Divine Thought'?"

"Does the sword formed by divine thoughts also contain formations?"

Huangshan Jun breathed a sigh of relief and explained:

"That's another story."

"Another thing?"

"Yes." Mr. Huangshan nodded and said, "Not all monks in this world know how to use formations."

"If you can't learn the formation and want to kill evil gods or other powerful evil spirits, you can only 'find another way'."

"That's how spiritual thoughts turn into swords."

"I don't know how to use the formation, and my spiritual consciousness is not strong enough, so I use the sword to replace the formation. I integrate the sword energy into the spiritual mind and turn it into the sword intention, forming a powerful spiritual mind to kill."

Huangshan Jun sighed, "Although people are weak, they do have extraordinary minds."

"So," Mo Hua asked again, "Is there any difference between the divine sword and the divine formation?"

Huangshan Jun thought about it for a moment, nodded and said:

"The Shinto formation is intended to restrain and suppress. It can be regarded as a kind of 'seal'."

"And the sword transformed by divine thoughts is simply for killing."

Mo Hua asked doubtfully: "So, the 'Shinto Formation' is actually not as powerful as the 'Sword of Divine Thought'?"

Huangshan Jun said helplessly:

"How is this comparable? Those who know formations will definitely give priority to learning the 'Shinto Formation'. Only those who don't know the formations but are good at swordsmanship will learn 'Shen Dao Sword'."

"The two are completely different. One is 'sealing' and the other is 'killing'..."

"Human consciousness is inherently weak and cannot be compared with the divine thoughts of gods."

"So if you really want to kill the evil god, the realm of human consciousness must be much higher than the realm of gods, and there is a high probability that you will still injure the enemy a thousand times and injure yourself eight hundred. Even if you win, it will be a miserable victory."

"In case of defeat, it will be the end of God destroying Dao."

"It's difficult to learn how to transform your mind into a sword. If you go head-to-head with the evil god, you'll probably die a lot."

"The Shinto formation is different. Although it cannot kill evil gods or some powerful evil spirits, using formations and carefully setting up ambush can successfully suppress the evil gods and evil spirits and ensure peace for one party. To a certain extent, it is possible to 'defeat the strong with the weak.'"

Mo Hua suddenly understood and asked again: "Does the god know how to use formations?"

He had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

At that time, in the sea of ​​consciousness, I was fighting with that big golden eyeball.

At first, with his big eyes, he couldn't tell whether he was a human or a god.

Later, as soon as he used the formation, his big eyes were instantly convinced that he was no longer a "god".

Mo Hua guessed that maybe the gods in heaven and earth cannot use formations?

Huangshan Jun said as expected: "Gods cannot use formations."

"Why?" Mo Hua was curious.

Huangshan Jun said: "The gods are uniquely blessed by nature and are born adhering to the great ways of heaven and earth. They themselves contain some special origins of the great ways."

"And the formation is also the manifestation of the law of the great avenue."

"If the formations that encompass thousands of avenues have the same origin as the gods, then the gods will know them innately. There is no need to learn them, let alone borrow the formations to use them."

"If it has different origins, the formation will be incompatible with the god's own path, and the god cannot learn it and cannot use it."

"The power of the gods lies in the 'purity' of Tao."

"The more powerful the god is, the deeper the origin of his own avenue is. But at the same time, the more exclusive he is from other laws, and he cannot understand other avenues."

"Humans are different. The innate Dao is weak, so they can continue to learn, understand formations, use formations to operate many Dao laws, and control the natural power of heaven and earth."

Mo Hua suddenly realized.

To put it simply, gods know it innately, so there is no need to learn it.

The monks are inherently deficient, so they have to understand the formation.

In other words, you can also say...

Gods are blessed by nature and inherit part of the origin of the great path, so they cannot learn other laws.

Monks are born with nothing and are not favored by the Great Dao. On the contrary, through learning, they can control thousands of formations and understand the Great Dao of the heavens.

It's like...

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up:

"If you use it, you will benefit from it, but if you don't, you will use it?"

Huangshanjun's pupils suddenly trembled and he was almost speechless. After a long time, he came back to his senses and murmured:

“That’s the truth…”

But the way it looked at the ink painting contained a hint of mystery.
