Chapter 24 Using the Body as a Formation
After Liang Yan completed his chores the next day, he couldn't wait to return to his dormitory, took out the volume "The Law of Undecided Mind", and unfolded it in his hand. The first sentence of the general outline of the first volume read:
The mind is free and I am selfless. There is no end to the circle, no end to change.
Liang Yan looked down again, only to realize that although this volume of "The Art of Undecided Mind" was extremely weird, it showed a sense of freedom and unrulyness in every aspect. Whether it was the movement of spiritual power or secret techniques, it seemed to be easy to pick up and extremely casual.
Liang Yan couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart. He felt that this senior "Kuchikisheng" was really a strange person.
Little did he know that this rotten wood student had entered the Tao through chess and achieved the golden elixir, which could be described as a rigorous life. The secret technique he cultivates is more about judging the enemy's reality and predicting the enemy's opportunities. In normal battles with others, he always works step by step and plans before taking action.
It's a pity that as the end of his old age was approaching, he was still unable to make further progress in his cultivation. Frustrated, his temperament changed drastically. He spent his entire life making calculations, but late in life he acted freely and recklessly, creating this "Dharma of Undecided Mind". It is not an exaggeration to say that he has seen through life and death and can escape from the prison.
Of course Liang Yan didn't know this himself, but the more he read the "Undecided Mind Technique", the more he felt that it was more to his liking than the "Hunhuang Gong". When he saw it, he actually danced at the end and couldn't help but dance along with the technique.
If Li Dali were passing by at this time, he would probably have to pull away from Junior Brother Liang. What else could this be but a deception?
After writing down all the contents in the scroll, Liang Yan raised his hand and fired a fireball to burn the bamboo slips. He has been in the Immortal Path for some time, so he naturally knows that the law should not be taught to the six ears. Kuchikisheng said that this skill was created by him, so he can never teach it to others without his permission, so Liang Yan simply burned the bamboo slips.
That night, Liang Yan came to Lingquan Cave again, crossed his legs and entered meditation, and began to practice this "mind without concentration method".
According to what was written in the bamboo slips, he silently circulated the spiritual power in his body for a great week. Suddenly he felt a jump in his Dantian, and gradually felt a sense of energy. Liang Yan was overjoyed and did not dare to relax at all, and continued to follow the magic formula to bring luck.
Just when he was working steadily and sinking the generated spiritual energy into his Dantian, the little bit of Confucian spiritual power suddenly dissipated, like a mud cow drowning in the sea, leaving no trace at all.
Liang Yan's heart sank. He thought that something had gone wrong in his cultivation, and practiced again according to the method for a week. This time he concentrated and calmed down, but his Confucian spiritual power was still the same as before, and suddenly he Disappeared without a trace.
"Weird!" Liang Yan was surprised and tried a few more times without giving up, but the result was the same. Every time when the energy sank to his dantian and the spiritual power returned to its source, the strange scene before would appear.
However, this time he could clearly feel that the dissipation of this spiritual power was not directly related to his own qualifications, but rather seemed to be overcome by the existing spiritual power in his body.
"Could it be that the two techniques restrain each other?" Liang Yan thought of a possibility.
In fact, he guessed that they were almost inseparable. You must know that there are many sects in the world. Although hundreds of schools are flourishing, Buddhism, Demons, Taoism and Confucianism are the four major sects of the human race. Their respective skills are very different, and their spiritual attributes are mutually restrained. I have never heard of any great Buddhist and Taoist master who can also practice Confucian Kung Fu.
The old monk took him to Yixing Pavilion before because there were no major Buddhist sects in the nearby countries, and he himself had a relationship with Lin Fei from Yixing Pavilion. Even so, he also asked Liang Yan to go to Chuan Gong Pavilion to choose a secret Buddhist technique to practice. Because he originally thought that Liang Yan, who was introduced to Yixing Pavilion by Lin Fei, would become an outer disciple. Unexpectedly, he ended up becoming a handyman disciple.
All I can say is that there are no absolutes, fate has its way with people.
Although Liang Yan guessed that the two techniques restrained each other, he did not know that this was an iron law between the four major unifications. He only thought that the properties of the two techniques were incompatible, and he was still thinking hard and meditating, trying to find a way to solve it. After all, This is his only chance to advance to the Immortal Path.
Just when he was about to give up, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, "That's right! How could I forget it?"
The next afternoon, in front of the Xinglin Pavilion, Wang Yuan was sleeping soundly on the table in front of the door. Suddenly a young man walked quickly from the path. He hurried into the library without even saying hello to Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan's ears twitched, he woke up from his sleep and glanced at the young man's back.
"It turns out it's him!" Wang Yuan shook his head, continued to lie on the table, and fell asleep.
The person who came was none other than Liang Yan. After he entered the library, he quickly walked to a wooden shelf at the back. This wooden frame is different from the others. The others are all seven-story vermilion. This wooden frame is only three-story high, and it is of an old style and looks like it has some paint peeling off. Most of the things placed on it are some miscellaneous talks about formations or biographies of senior formations, and there is no book for systematic study.
Liang Yan reached out and pulled out a book with a gray cover. The book was extremely thin, with only twenty or thirty pages. The title of the book was "Two Fishes Twin Formation". He opened the pages of the book and stood there and read attentively.
This "Two Fishes Twin Formation" only talks about this one formation in the whole book, and the writing is illegible. Many parts of it are also written vaguely and unclearly, as if the author of this book has not understood this formation. The principle of formation is the same.
The most important thing is that the function of this "Two Fishes Twin Formation" seems to have no other function except that it seems that yin and yang can harmonize and coexist with each other.
Although Liang Yan had seen it before, he didn't take it to heart at all. At this moment, I was thoughtful, and when I looked back, I realized that these array patterns and array devices were not used to set up large arrays at all, but were more like the meridians and acupuncture points of the human body.
The more he read, the more likely it became that many of the unexplained operations in the book actually seemed to be instructing people on how to gather luck and gather spirits.
"Is it really possible to use one's body to form a formation?" Liang Yan murmured to himself.
It's just that there are still many unclear points in this book. It seems that the author himself has many things that he has not yet understood. However, it gives Liang Yan a big step. He only needs to stand on it and build a few small steps. It seems like you can reach the door.
The more Liang Yan thought about it, the more excited he became. He immediately sat on the ground and started making deductions on the spot.
In the next few days, Liang Yan stayed awake, sitting on the floor of the library, writing and drawing alone, and did not even go to work on the morning chores.
Although Wang Yuan was dissatisfied with him, he couldn't figure out what kind of relationship he had with Zhuo Bufan, and he didn't dare to act rashly for a while.
On this day, an outer disciple in blue and Confucian robes came to the library pavilion. Although Zhenmai disciples spend most of their time studying the techniques in the Chuan Gong Pavilion, occasionally people come to the Library Pavilion to borrow some books. The outer disciple Li Feng in front of him came here to inquire about a set of formations.
He greeted Wang Yuan and stepped into the library. After walking past several wooden frames, I suddenly found a young man sitting on the ground, wearing gray linen clothes. His back was turned to him at the moment, and one hand was writing and drawing on the ground.
Just when he was a little disinterested, the young man suddenly shouted: "It's done! Haha! It's done!"
He jumped up from the ground, then turned around. Only then did Li Feng see his face clearly. His eyes were sunken, his hair was disheveled, his lips were dry, and he had a thick beard on his chin. Although his face was haggard, his eyes revealed joy. He jumped three steps and danced, which looked very weird.
"Could this man be a lunatic?" When Li Feng was thinking this, the young man had already rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed. Before he could react, the young man had already hugged him and shouted: "It's done." !I’m done! Hahaha!”
Li Feng was furious in his heart. He always loved to be clean, but at this moment he was hugged tightly by this unknown lunatic. With the spell in his hand, a white jade disc was thrown out, circled and flew up, hitting the young man's side and lower abdomen directly. .
Although the sect strictly prohibited killing or seriously injuring fellow disciples in private, Li Feng still used 50% of his spiritual power. According to what he thought, the young man would have to lie in bed for at least a year before he could relieve the hatred in his heart.
Unexpectedly, the young man was hit by the jade plate, and he just said "Ouch!" and rolled and crawled on the ground for a while, then he patted his butt and stood up. He bowed his hands as if nothing was wrong and said to him: "Senior brother, I'm sorry! I just got carried away and lost my etiquette, please don't take offense!"
Li Feng narrowed his eyes, looked at him deeply, then turned around and walked out of the library without saying a word, and left.
As for this crazy young man, it is undoubtedly Liang Yan. He stayed here without sleep for ten days, focusing on understanding the "Two Fishes Twin Formation", and actually asked him to complete the formation.
Although a cultivator would not starve to death if he did not eat, drink or sleep for ten days, he was only in the qi training period and had not yet eaten grains. At this moment, he was hungry, so he decided to find something to sacrifice. My own temple of the five internal organs.
After he had eaten and drank enough, he had a good sleep again and didn't wake up until the next night.
After getting up and washing up, he went straight to Lingquan Cave. While absorbing the spiritual energy of Lingquan, he used himself as a position to set up the "Twin Fish Formation" in his body.
After a while, the meridians in his body gradually divided into two groups, the clear ones were heaven, and the turbid ones were earth. At the same time, a small black and white bead flew out of the dantian, which was the Tianji Bead.
As soon as the Heavenly Secret Pearl appeared, it rushed straight into the Heavenly Vein above, reaching a position corresponding to the Dantian, and then slowly stopped.
The spiritual power in his body passed through the Dantian through the earth veins, turned into a rushing clear stream and rushed straight to the heavenly veins, and finally merged into the Tianji Pearl. Then, the Tianji Pearl slowly rotated, turning into a turbid torrent and descending into the earth veins.
Liang Yan's own Dantian is the eye of the "Twin Fishes Formation", and the Tianji Pearl is the formation weapon.
The two echo each other, the clear and turbid qi change back and forth, and the yin and yang of the two meridians of heaven and earth complement each other. This cycle goes back and forth, endlessly and endlessly.
The formation was completed, and Liang Yan silently recited the mantra "Heart has no determination" in his heart. I only feel a little blue spiritual power coming from my Dantian, and after circulating in my body for a long time, it slowly returns to the "Two Fishes Twin Formation".
The two colors of blue and gold spiritual energy coexist harmoniously in it, flowing slowly. Sometimes blue is the sky and clear, gold is the earth and turbid, and sometimes gold is the sky and clear, and blue is the earth and turbid.
It's like two swimming fish, holding each other head to tail, regardless of each other, slowly rotating around.
"It's done!" Liang Yan opened his eyes, filled with infinite joy. This "Two Fish Twin Formation" is endless and endless. If this can't help him break through the bottleneck of the third level of Qi training, then it's really unbelievable. Is there any way to help him change his fate against the odds?
Liang Yan suppressed the joy in his heart and suddenly remembered the inscriptions on the two stone pillars in front of the sect when he followed Lin Fei to Yixing Pavilion for the first time:
"The stars on the chessboard are made from heaven. Who dares to play them?"
"The earth is a lute and the rain is its strings. Who can play it?"
Although these two sentences are frivolous, the deep meaning in them seems to coincide with the "Twin Fishes Formation". Although he was not sure yet, Liang Yan had secretly speculated on the originator of this "Twin Fish Formation". But Liang Yan still couldn't figure out why he didn't do in-depth research and practice on his own.
In fact, his guess was correct. This "Twin Fish Formation" was created by the famous founding master of the sect, Yixing Zhenren. He entered the Tao through formation techniques, and his attainments in the formation techniques are rare in the world. In his later years, he had a sudden idea and created this "Two Fish Twin Formation", which was speculated to be able to integrate with another one of the Four Unifications.
But his own cultivation level is already extremely high. If he wants to practice this formation, he needs to destroy the golden elixir and start practicing from the Qi refining stage. Not only that, it also requires a treasure that conquers the heaven and earth as an array weapon.
Although he pioneered this, he was never able to try it. In the end, it was just an idea on paper.
Moreover, he expected that for people in the world, it would be almost as difficult to find a monk who was extremely skilled in formations and possessed a treasure that captured the heaven and earth, and whose cultivation was only in the period of Qi training. Even he himself felt it was impossible, and in the end he could only give up halfway.
However, his idea was so bold that he was unwilling to disappear into the long river of history. So he left a book and two lines of couplets on the stone pillars in front of the sect's gate, alluding to "Pisces in heaven and earth, who dares to use it?"
In this way, one of the formation masters, the founding master of the sect who has cultivated to the top of the sky; the other is a talented boy who has just started practicing qi. Thousands of years have passed between them, and they have completed the handover of this inheritance. At this time, the entire Yixing Pavilion was bustling with people, but no one knew about it.
