Chapter 25 Teaching

Mo Hua returned to the monastic room and sat down. A group of disciples stuck their heads out and surrounded him again.

"Mo Hua, Mo Hua, what did the instructor ask you to do?"

"Did the instructor punish you?"

Mo Hua said truthfully: "The instructor asked me to go to him every day after class."

One disciple said: "It must be because you slacked off in the formation, so the instructor was angry and asked you to practice the formation every day so as not to regress in the formation."

There were also disciples who sympathized: "Then you are too miserable. You have to draw the formation under the instructor's nose every day."

"Yes, it's too miserable. I get so nervous when the instructor looks at me, not to mention that he stares at me when I draw the formation..."

Mo Hua also sighed.

Seeing this, the disciples also comforted Mo Hua.

Mo Hua sighed, not because he had to draw the formation under the instructor's nose, but because he went to the instructor every day, so he didn't have much time to draw the formation for the formation pavilion to earn spirit stones.

However, since the teacher asked Mo Hua if he wanted to become a formation master, he should give Mo Hua some pointers, which is a good thing to think.

After class the next day, Mo Hua arrived at the room of Teacher Yan on Tongming Peak on time.

Teacher Yan got straight to the point and placed a volume of "The Beginning of the Formation Classics" in front of Mo Hua.

"In the way of formations, if you want to go far, you must have a solid foundation. This foundation not only includes the grasp of basic formation patterns, the proficiency of brushwork, and the solidity of spiritual awareness, but also includes the classics of formation research in the world of cultivation."

"The so-called formation classics are the experience and theoretical summary of countless formation masters on the thousands of formations in the world of cultivation, and what they seek is the unchanging principles in the ever-changing formations."

"Some cultivators draw formations well, but they know nothing about classics. Once they learn to a high level, they will be confused and it will be difficult to make any progress in the way of formations."

"I am still one step away from becoming a first-class formation master, and most of the inheritance of the sect has been lost. I cannot teach you too advanced formation theories, and naturally cannot be compared with the teachings of some big families and big sects, but for your current formation level, it should be enough."

Mo Hua sat up straight, his expression became more respectful, "Please teach me, Master."

Master Yan nodded, opened the "First Explanation of the Formation Theory", and said:

"This book records some basic principles of formation, such as the roundness of the sky and the squareness of the earth, the directions of the eight trigrams, the five elements of life and death, and There are single formations, complex formations and large formations..."

"The formation is the manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth. The outer circle and the inner square symbolize the roundness of the sky and the squareness of the earth. The positions of different formation patterns follow the Bagua theorem. The formation patterns of different attributes mutually restrain each other. A single formation is a single formation, and multiple single formations are complex formations. And a large number of single formations and complex formations are connected together to form a large formation..."

"The large formation is extremely powerful. The so-called sect-protecting formation is this type of formation. The large formation contains hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of formations, which are formed by the cooperation of dozens or hundreds of formation masters. , and only a highly accomplished formation master can serve as the main formation master of a large formation, leading the design and depiction of the large formation..."

"Being able to become a main formation master and design and construct a large formation is the lifelong expectation of many formation masters."

Yan Jiaoxi said with a little emotion, and then said: "But it's too far to say that. Even becoming an ordinary first-grade formation master is not easy."

Mo Hua was also a little fascinated when he heard it. Even a single formation is already very mysterious. What kind of scene would it be if a large formation containing thousands of formations was opened?

Yan Jiaoxi hesitated a little, and handed the "First Explanation of the Formation Classic Theory" to Mo Hua with some solemnity, saying:

"Take this first explanation of the formation first, and read it carefully. Remember not to pass it on to others, and don't tell anyone else."

After that, Yan Jiaoxi explained some basic theories on the formation and let Mo Hua go back.

Mo Hua returned to the disciple residence, holding a thin volume of "First Explanation of the Classic Theory" in his hand, but he felt heavy. For the first time, he realized the importance of the inheritance of cultivation. If no one teaches, these things will be enough for him to explore for a lifetime.

He is just an ordinary disciple. He is more and more grateful to the teacher Yan for being so attentive.

Mo Hua calmed down and read the "First Explanation of Classic Theory" word by word. If he didn't understand, he would write it down and prepare to ask for instruction tomorrow.

Before going to bed, Mo Hua took out the "Golden Stone Array Map" again, memorized the array patterns in the array map, closed his eyes and entered the sea of ​​consciousness, and practiced the Golden Stone Array on the stone tablet.

The Golden Stone Array has only four array patterns, which is not too difficult, but it takes time to familiarize yourself with the array patterns and practice them.

Thanks to the "First Explanation of the Array Method", Mo Hua felt that his thoughts were much clearer when he drew the Golden Stone Array Map.

Why are the four array patterns in the west? Because the west belongs to gold, which is suitable for the attributes of the Golden Stone Array Map. The specific drawing method also has many hexagrams.

Mo Hua used to only know to draw according to the array map, but didn't know why he drew like this. Now he has a deeper understanding.

The next day, Mo Hua went to Tongming Peak.

Instructor Yan asked Mo Hua some questions from the "Array Theory", and Mo Hua answered them one by one. After confirming that Mo Hua had carefully read the "Array Theory", Instructor Yan nodded involuntarily.

After that, Mo Hua asked Instructor Yan some questions that he had written down. Instructor Yan also answered them one by one, and his expression was obviously more relieved.

When Mo Hua went there again on the third day, Instructor Yan used specific formations as examples to explain to Mo Hua, so that Mo Hua could understand some basic theories of formations.

Instructor Yan first talked about several formations with one formation pattern, including the bright fire formation that Mo Hua had drawn, and several formations that Mo Hua had never learned. Then he talked about formations with two formation patterns, all of which were formations that Mo Hua had never seen. Mo Hua listened very carefully.

Among the formations with four formation patterns, the instructor first talked about the solid earth formation, which Mo Hua had asked the instructor for advice before. Although Mo Hua had already drawn it more skillfully, when he listened to the instructor's explanation, he realized that he only knew the results before, but not the reasons, and his understanding of the formations was far behind.

After talking about the Earth Solidification Formation, Instructor Yan mentioned the Stone and Metal Formation:

"The Stone and Metal Formation have similar functions. Among the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, earth can produce gold. Therefore, when cultivators build caves and residences, they will use the Earth Solidification Formation to consolidate the foundation and use the Stone and Metal Formation to reinforce the building. Because earth produces gold, the effect of the formation will be better. These two formations can be understood by reference to each other..."

Mo Hua suddenly understood.

Instructor Yan explained for an hour, and then assigned a few homeworks, asking Mo Hua to find some examples of formation generation and restraint, and then let Mo Hua go back.

After Mo Hua returned to the disciple residence, the more he thought about it, the more strange it felt.

In the examples given by Instructor Yan, many of the formations were drawn by himself for the Formation Pavilion.

There is no need to mention the Bright Fire Formation and the Earth Solidification Formation. The Stone and Metal Formation was drawn by the fat steward. Today, the instructor also specially explained the Stone and Metal Formation diagram for himself. Although it was to illustrate the relationship between the five elements, it was still too coincidental.

"Is there any relationship between the instructor and the fat steward? Could it be that the instructor already knows that I drew all those formations in Youyuanzhai myself?"

Mo Hua pondered secretly in his heart.
