Asking About Longevity

Chapter 592 Yimu Genshan

Mr. Xun stood with his hands behind his back. With just one glance, the four formations on the formation plate disappeared one by one without any trace.

He walked out of the preaching pavilion and walked alone to the back mountain along the jade avenue in the middle of Taixu Gate.

All the disciples along the way bowed and said:

"Hello, Mr. Xun."

Mr. Xun nodded and said: "Good."

When they arrived at the back mountain, all the inner sect elders, even the true elders, bowed and said:

"Hello, Mr. Xun."

Mr. Xun just nodded slightly.

Back to the elders' residence, Mr. Xun brewed a cup of tea and told the outside: "Go get a copy of my hometown for me."

A Taoist boy outside the door bowed and said:

"Yes, ancestor."

Then Mr. Xun was in his room, with a cup of tea and a book, reading while frowning and thinking about something.

The elders' residence was empty and quiet, with nothing.

There was only a table and a cushion.

The tea tasted bland and pure.

But Mr. Xun didn't think it was anything special.

After a stick of incense, the Taoist boy handed a place of origin to Mr. Xun respectfully.

Mr. Xun nodded and took it, and glanced at it with turbid eyes.

"Lizhou, second-grade Tongxian City, casual cultivator..."

"Middle-lower grade spiritual roots..."

"It turned out to be a casual cultivator, with middle-lower spiritual roots..."

Mr. Xun was slightly surprised, and then nodded slightly, "Not sticking to one pattern to recruit talents, it's still a bit of progress..."

Mr. Xun looked down and saw the column of specialties, which wrote "good at formations".

He pondered for a moment and nodded, "It's really okay..."

The children of Lizhou came here from thousands of miles away to study...

"It's precious..."

Mr. Xun looked a little emotional, his eyes slightly fixed, and I don't know what he was thinking about...

...

Mo Hua was eating in the disciples' residence, and there were many disciples sitting around him.

It has been more than a month since I entered the school. Mo Hua is cute, speaks well, and is innocent, so she is popular with people. She is also familiar with the fellow disciples of Taiyiju.

Disciples from aristocratic families are devoted to cultivation and mature late.

Although most of them are 17 or 18 years old, they are not very experienced in the world and have not seen the dangers of the world. It is not the time to "pursue fame and fortune", so they are not scheming and value the friendship of fellow disciples.

A disciple said to Mo Hua:

"Mo Hua, be careful."

"You are in big trouble..."

"Mr. Xun is very stingy..."

A disciple next to him made a "hush" gesture, "Do you want to die? You dare to say bad things about Mr. Xun..."

"I'm saying this here, he can't hear it..."

"It's hard to say..."

"If he hears it...what can happen..."

"Then you will experience the 'profundity' of the formation in the days to come..."

"That's right, Mr. Xun will take special care of you and teach you those very difficult formations. You can't learn them even if your sea of ​​consciousness is exhausted and your hair falls out..."

"Is there such a good thing?!"

"Of course..."

The disciple was stunned halfway through his words, and then he realized that there was a statement that was not quite right in the conversation...

He turned his head silently to look at Mo Hua, not knowing what to say.

Mo Hua asked in a low voice: "Will Mr. Xun teach a difficult formation..."

The disciple looked subtle, "Mo Hua, why do you look so... expectant?"

"No, no." Mo Hua shook his head quickly.

"Nonsense, your eyes are shining!"

"That's right!"

"My eyes are like this!" Mo Hua said confidently.

"..."

"But..." A disciple asked in confusion, "Mo Hua, why are you so good at drawing formations?"

Mo Hua said shyly: "Good? Just so-so..."

Some people were envious and jealous, and gritted their teeth and said:

"Humility makes people progress, but excessive humility will make people get beaten!"

Mo Hua said: "My formations are just a little better, so I enrolled with a middle-lower-grade spiritual root..."

"Middle-lower-grade?!"

All the disciples present were shocked.

"You have a lower-middle-grade spiritual root?!"

"No wonder, I was wondering how come your spiritual power is so weak..."

"Your blood is also a little weak..."

"Your foundation is not solid..."

"You are not tall either..."

Mo Hua was unhappy, "That's enough..."

It's enough to talk about blood and spiritual power, but is it okay to talk about not being tall?

The other disciples smiled apologetically.

Some people were also surprised and said, "No, no matter how well you learn the formation, you can't enter the sect with middle and lower spiritual roots..."

"Yes, my ancestor wanted to get a descendant of the clan with upper and lower spiritual roots into the Taixu Sect. He found many connections but failed..."

"Even upper and lower grades are not allowed, let alone middle and lower grades..."

"Middle and lower grades can enter the eight major sects..."

The eyes of the group of people looking at Mo Hua became strange...

After a while, several disciples in the distance walked straight over and stood in front of Mo Hua, with bright eyes and fists:

"Cheng Mo of Qianzhou, let's make friends!"

"Situ of Lizhou, my name is Situ Jian, I will definitely be the leading swordsman in Jiuzhou in the future, polite!"

"Wen of Qianzhou..."

"Genzhou..."

...

Mo Hua was confused.

He thought that they came here aggressively to fight.

It turned out that they came to... make friends?

What does it mean?

If Mo Hua remembered correctly, he was talking about "lower-middle grade" spiritual roots, not "high-end grade"...

Could it be that the order of spiritual roots in Taixu Sect is reversed?

Lower-middle grade is better than high-end grade?

Mo Hua was puzzled.

There were disciples whispering in the distance, and although the sound was small, it still reached Mo Hua's ears.

"But he has lower-middle spiritual roots, what are you going to make friends with?"

"What do you know?"

"If he is really lower-middle spiritual roots, how can he enter the gate of Taixu Sect?"

"It's not that easy to enter Taixu Sect?"

"That's right."

"Besides, he has lower-middle spiritual roots, but he can enter the eight major sects. It's not that some cultivation talents are too amazing, but he must have a deep enough background and strong backing!"

"Yes...lower-middle spiritual roots..."

"And his foundation is so shallow..."

"Think about it, he can enter like this..."

"How deep must his background be! How strong must his backing be!!"

When all the disciples thought of this, they all respected Mo Hua.

"It is probably the illegitimate child of some powerful person. Maybe he has some connection with the ancestors of Taixu Sect..."

"If so, his spiritual roots would not be so bad..."

"What do you know? Spiritual roots are not 100% inherited. There will always be some problems..."

"A parent with low-grade spiritual roots can give birth to a child with high-grade spiritual roots. A high-grade spiritual root can occasionally give birth to a child with medium-low-grade spiritual roots..."

"It's just that the probability is very small..."

"Now that you put it that way, medium-low-grade... is really possible..."

"That makes sense..."

Mo Hua had a complicated expression and was speechless. He emphasized:

"I am really just a casual cultivator..."

The disciples were startled when they heard this and nodded one after another, "Yeah."

But they all looked like they knew everything but didn't say it out loud, "We know it in our hearts."

"Don't worry, we will keep it a secret for you..."

"I promise not to tell anyone..."

Mo Hua sighed, feeling helpless.

Another disciple worriedly said:

"Mo Hua, although your background... cough..."

The disciple said meaningfully, "I'm just a casual cultivator..."

"...but you can't offend Mr. Xun, Mr. Xun has a long history, and he may not give the face of the headmaster..."

"You have just joined the sect, and you still have a long time to stay in the sect. If you make Mr. Xun unhappy, you will be punished to draw formations every day, and your future life will be difficult..."

Mo Hua thanked: "Thank you."

But in his heart, he was muttering, "I wonder if Mr. Xun will "teach" me a more difficult formation..."

He can no longer find a "difficult" formation to learn.

His spiritual consciousness also stagnated at the fourteenth pattern, and it had not improved for a long time...

Mr. Xun...

Mo Hua's eyes lit up slightly, and he thought to himself:

"How about taking a nap and sleeping in class tomorrow?"

"See if Mr. Xun will punish me and make me draw some more 'difficult' formations?"

...

The next day, Mo Hua found that he didn't need to sleep anymore.

Because Mr. Xun did treat him specially...

During class, Mr. Xun distributed a formation handout to each person, which contained the essence of the first-grade nine-pattern melting gold formation, and a formation diagram was attached at the back.

Only Mo Hua didn't have it in front of him.

Mr. Xun took another handout to Mo Hua and said seriously:

"To learn formations, you must be solid, and the foundation is the most important."

"The better the talent, the more important the foundation."

"You learn this..."

The other disciples all looked at Mo Hua with sympathy.

Mo Hua frowned, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

"There is a formation to learn!"

He quickly opened the handout and found that it was a first-grade five-element formation of two elements, gold and fire.

Mo Hua had never seen this formation before, but the structure was not complicated, not to mention it was a five-element formation, which could be seen at a glance.

It was indeed a little difficult.

But it was only a little difficult...

It was difficult enough to fill the gap between teeth.

Mo Hua was a little disappointed, but he still read the handout carefully, sorted out and recorded some knowledge points that he had not learned before, and then began to draw the formation.

Mr. Xun was talking on the top, and he was drawing below.

When Mr. Xun finished talking and other disciples started to draw the formation, Mo Hua had already finished drawing, with a leisurely face, watching other disciples thinking hard, scratching their heads...

Mr. Xun's eyelids twitched.

But he looked solemn and said nothing.

In the next class, other disciples were still learning the first-grade five-element formation, and Mo Hua's learning was a little more difficult, this time it was a three-element five-element formation.

But it was still only of the first grade.

Mo Hua finished the painting quickly as usual...

After that, it was a little harder each time, but not much harder each time...

...

After the difficulty increased four or five times...

Finally, Mo Hua saw an unfamiliar array pattern.

This is an array system that has its origins in the Five Elements, but is somewhat different from the Five Elements:

Bagua array!

The Five Elements are gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The Eight Trigrams are Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Gen, Zhen, Xun, and Dui, representing heaven, earth, water, fire, mountain, thunder, marsh, and wind respectively.

The Eight Trigrams array partially overlaps with the Five Elements, but the laws of things and the rules of the great way involved are more extensive and more complicated than the Five Elements.

Moreover, the Bagua formation involves some principles of the hexagrams of the Yin-Yang and the Six-Yin-Yang. Although it does not directly give rise to the power of Yin-Yang and the phase of the Six-Yin-Yang, it uses this as a framework to derive different formation logics based on the Five Elements.

Compared with the two, the Five Elements formation is a little simpler, but it is the most versatile and the most common formation in the cultivation world.

The Bagua formation has some changes, covers a wider range, and the internal formation logic is more profound.

This is the formation textbook distributed by Mo Hua when he entered the Taixu Sect, "The Brief Introduction to Formation".

Mo Hua read this formation book whenever he had time, and in less than half a month, he had already read it to pieces.

It's a pity that this "The Brief Introduction to Formation" is for beginners after all, and the content is still too superficial.

Mo Hua can't learn anything deeper. There are even some simple Bagua principles on it, and there is no complete Bagua formation pattern or formed Bagua formation at all.

Mo Hua wants to learn, but he can't learn.

But now, the "meal" is fed to his mouth!

The handout given by Mr. Xun is a complex array of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams.

This complex array is also a complex array form that Mo Hua has never seen before. It is compatible with two different array categories.

One is the Five Elements array: Yi Wood Array.

The other is the Eight Trigrams array: Gen Mountain Array.

So the full name of this complex array is Yi Wood Gen Mountain Complex Array.

There are also some other simple small arrays and fragmentary array patterns mixed in the complex array structure, which are not critical.

Based on experience, Mo Hua guessed that this Yi Wood Gen Mountain Complex Array is a formation used on the mountain to cultivate "wood" spiritual objects such as spiritual trees, spiritual plants, and spiritual grasses.

Use Gen to consolidate the mountain and use wood to nourish things.

Mo Hua has not learned much about the Eight Trigrams array patterns. At this time, if he wants to learn the complex array, he must start from the beginning to learn the array patterns of the Eight Trigrams "Gen".

New array, new array pattern!

Mo Hua's eyes lit up and he immediately began to study.

Mr. Xun was giving a lecture on the stage. He caught a glimpse of Mo Hua from the corner of his eye. Seeing that his little face was serious and he began to study the lecture notes seriously, he could not help but nod slightly.

But then, Mr. Xun was startled again.

He found that for this Yimu Genshan Fuzhen, Mo Hua seemed to be learning from the "Gen" series of array patterns...

Mr. Xun was slightly surprised.

"You haven't learned the Bagua array?"

"Impossible..."

"No matter how much you haven't learned it, you shouldn't start from the array patterns..."

Mr. Xun frowned.

"Who taught him the array, why is it so "biased"?"

The first-grade five-element array is extremely proficient.

In addition, the foundation of other types of arrays is probably very shallow...

He hasn't learned the Bagua array pattern, let alone the more obscure three talents, four images, six lines, and seven stars...

Mr. Xun shook his head, a little regretful.

He has excellent qualifications, but unfortunately his foundation is too weak and his vision is a little shallow.

The person who taught the child the formation seemed to want him to learn something profound, so he blindly and crammed him with the five elements formation, which made his learning a little biased...

Mr. Xun felt regretful and said nothing.

He still taught as usual, and he didn't care that Mo Hua was learning the formation on his own.

Until the end of the class, the other disciples handed in the "homework" on the handouts.

Mo Hua didn't move, he was still learning, and tried to draw the Yi Mu Gen Shan Fu formation.

Mr. Xun didn't blame him, but waited patiently for him.

After handing in the "homework", the other disciples looked at Mo Hua, who was "embarrassed" by Mr. Xun and was still writing furiously, with sympathy, and sighed.

But they couldn't do anything, so they could only retreat silently.

In the preaching room, there were only Mr. Xun and Mo Hua.

Mr. Xun looked at Mo Hua with some regret.

But after only an incense stick of time, Mo Hua suddenly stopped writing, took a long breath, and then handed a formation paper to Mr. Xun respectfully.

Mr. Xun was stunned.

What is this kid... handing in?

If he can't finish the painting, he can continue to paint. If he can't finish it, he can take it back to learn, practice it, and hand it in after he has practiced it.

What can he hand in now?

A fragment of a formation with three scales and two claws?

Mr. Xun was slightly annoyed, took the formation paper and looked at it, and his eyelids suddenly jumped.

Yi Mu Gen Shan Fu Zhen...

This is a neat, perfect, and perfect Yi Mu Gen Shan Fu Zhen formation!

Mr. Xun's eyes narrowed slightly.

"This kid... drew it?!"

Starting from learning the formation pattern, in less than an hour, he drew a complex formation that he had never touched before, including the Bagua formation...

Learning and drawing at the same time?

Mr. Xun's hand trembled slightly, and his eyes looking at Mo Hua were also somewhat complicated and difficult to understand.

"You..."

Mr. Xun paused for a moment, then slowly said: "Have you learned the Bagua formation?"

Mo Hua shook his head honestly, "No, I only know the Five Elements formation..."

I also know some unique formations, which are not within the scope of the Five Elements, but it is not convenient to say these...

Mr. Xun was silent for a long time, then slowly nodded, "I know, you go back..."

Mo Hua bowed respectfully and said:

"Old sir, polite, disciple bids farewell..."

After saying that, Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and then because he learned a new formation, he was happy in his heart, his steps were slightly lighter, and he raised his little head and left the preaching room.

In the preaching room.

Mr. Xun stood silently, looking at the Yi Mu Gen Shan Fu formation drawn by Mo Hua, and his mood could not calm down for a long time.

After a long while, he sighed slightly and whispered in deep thought:

"It seems... I need to change my teaching method..."

"I want to see how fast this child can learn..."
