Chapter 605 Thunder Pattern

Mo Hua had made up his mind, and the next day, he went to class as usual.

After the Taoism course, he took an alchemy class, a weapon refining class, and finally a sword cultivation class.

Mo Hua didn't need to take the sword cultivation class.

He was a spiritual cultivator, specializing in magic.

And swords were expensive, so he couldn't afford them.

But adhering to the principle of "knowing yourself and knowing the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without defeat", he still needed to learn about it.

More importantly, Mo Hua had always been thinking about the "Taixu Divine Mind Sword Transformation True Art" that he had "derived" from the obscure cause and effect, which only had a name.

He couldn't afford the real sword art.

But "Divine Mind Sword Transformation" might be something he could practice.

Divine Mind Sword Transformation, as the name suggests, contains both "divine mind" and "swordsmanship", and should be related to both.

So whenever Mo Hua had time, he would take a "sword cultivation" class.

While learning some basic sword cultivation techniques.

While paying attention, is there any clue of "Divine Mind Sword Transformation True Art".

While studying the pros and cons of sword cultivation, he silently pondered in his heart, if he met a sword cultivator in the future, how should he deal with it.

But perhaps it was just the beginning, the sword cultivation courses were very basic.

Mo Hua listened for several months, but only learned a little bit, and couldn't even condense the sword energy, let alone the real sword control...

At the same time, he also heard a lot of Taixu Sect's famous sword arts from the sword cultivation elders:

Like "Taixu Lihuo Sword Art", "Taixu Liangyi Sword Art", "Taixu Guiyi Sword Style"... and so on.

But no one has ever mentioned the eight words "Taixu Divine Mind Sword Transformation True Art"...

I don't know if this method of divine mind sword transformation is too obscure and no one learns it, too difficult and no one can do it, or it is too ancient and has been lost...

Mo Hua sighed, and could only be patient and slowly look for it.

There is a long way to go. As long as I keep thinking about it, I will find some clues about this sword technique one day.

What's more, there is the downtrodden mountain god in the ruined temple on the deserted mountain.

Mr. Huang Shan...

Mo Hua nodded.

When I pass by that deserted mountain while doing a mission, I will go to ask him on the way.

Now I have to go to class and have no time to find him...

The last class in the afternoon is the formation class, and Mr. Xun is lazy again.

As a "young senior brother", Mo Hua can only do his duty and take over Mr. Xun's class.

After class, the day's course is over.

Mo Hua returned to the disciple residence and had some free time to study the somewhat weird four-elephant formation copied from the bald head of the sinner "vulture".

Four-elephant formation!

"There is a new formation to learn..."

Mo Hua was very excited, his eyes sparkling.

And this formation is not a "new" formation in the general sense.

The Four-Elephant Formation is a completely new type of formation that is out of the scope of the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams.

However, it may be a little bit weird and dangerous.

The disciples live inside, and the light of the open fire lamp is bright and warm.

The room is simple, but clean and tidy.

Mo Hua lies on the table, spreads out the formation paper, prepares the pen and ink, takes out the Four-Elephant Demon Pattern Formation that he copied, and begins to study it...

This formation has strange patterns.

The formation hub structure is simple, but the formation pattern is very complex.

And unlike the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams formation patterns, the shape is restrained, upright and mysterious.

The formation pattern of this formation seems to be copied from the form of a monster, with pictographic brushwork, like an eagle or a falcon, with claws and teeth exposed, arrogant and rampant.

It is both novel and weird.

However, as long as it is a formation, after dismantling it, there are only patterns.

As long as the heart of Tao is clear, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Mo Hua began to deconstruct the formation, dismantle the formation hub, and analyze the formation pattern, just like a butcher cutting a cow, removing the bones and meat, not paying attention to the whole cow.

The more proficient his Tianji calculations became, the more thorough his analysis of this kind of formation became.

Soon, Mo Hua finished dismantling it.

A four-image formation was dismantled by Mo Hua into more than ten independent four-image formation patterns.

Mo Hua looked at the formation pattern, but couldn't help scratching his head:

"It's not right..."

This formation pattern, looking closely, doesn't look like a four-image formation pattern at all.

It's completely different from what Mr. Xun taught me before.

Or, it only looks like a four-image formation pattern...

But if you really want to "study" or "learn", it is very different from the general four-image formation pattern.

"Array pattern variation?"

Mo Hua frowned.

He could only think of this principle.

What Mr. Xun taught me was the basic, simple, entry-level four-image formation pattern.

It was like an enlightenment.

But the Four Symbols Formation on the vulture's head is more like an advanced formation pattern, containing complex changes, and it is obviously a formation specially used to integrate demonic power and strengthen killing.

Beast patterns are close to demons and are easy to lose humanity...

Mo Hua was a little afraid, but after thinking about it, he decided to spend some time to learn it first.

If you don't learn it, you can't understand the mystery of the formation itself by drawing it several times.

If you find any clues of "demonization" or signs of being possessed by demons, you can stop it yourself.

Mo Hua copied and calculated at the same time. It took an hour to finally learn the Four Symbols Eagle Pattern Formation.

The Four Symbols Eagle Pattern Formation has only fourteen patterns.

Mo Hua drew it on the paper once, and then frowned again.

"It's useless..."

The array pattern was clearly drawn on the paper, just like the one on the vulture's head. Even the extremely subtle handwriting on the array pattern, such as feathers and claws, was perfectly reproduced by himself.

But after injecting spiritual power, this array did not react at all.

In Mo Hua's spiritual vision, this array only had a form, but no spirit, let alone the trajectory of the flowing array power.

"What's missing..."

But what's missing?

Demonic power?

Where can I get demonic power?

I can't stop being a "human" and learn the demon cultivation of those demon sects, cultivate bloody demonic magic, and cultivate like demon beasts, eating people to cultivate and nourish demonic power...

Mo Hua shook his head.

This array is useless for the time being...

But then Mo Hua became curious.

He remembered that the vulture didn't cultivate demonic magic, and his spiritual power was normal. Why could he draw such a weird four-image array?

Or, in essence, what is the four-image array used for?

Mo Hua touched his chin and pondered carefully...

The Five Elements and Eight Diagrams have a clear system, which controls the natural forces of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, etc.

What about the Four Symbols?

Isn't it just for controlling the demonic power...

If you control the demonic power, if you are not careful, you will be eroded by the demonic power and "go astray"?

Mo Hua always feels that he has overlooked something...

He compared the Four Symbols Eagle Falcon Demon Pattern with the basic and regular Four Symbols Array Patterns that Mr. Xun taught him.

Mo Hua used the heavenly secrets to deduce, peek into the origin of the array pattern, and derive various changes of the array pattern by himself.

Suddenly, Mo Hua was stunned, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

In the trajectory of the array pattern derived in the sea of ​​consciousness, these two types of array patterns, after several evolutions and comparisons, suddenly overlapped.

The overlapping part showed some more original patterns!

In a flash, Mo Hua suddenly realized.

The four-elephant array pattern that Mr. Xun taught me was the "beast pattern".

The four-elephant array pattern on the vulture's head was the "demon pattern".

Demons and beasts are not exactly the same, but they have the same origin.

Similarly, the demon pattern and the beast pattern have different shapes, but their fundamental array patterns are common.

In other words, the four-elephant demon pattern and the four-elephant beast pattern are both built on a set of four-elephant array patterns that are more basic and more fundamental.

Under the foundation, there is a foundation.

The demon pattern and the beast pattern are both basic variations of the underlying "four-elephant array pattern".

So, they are all four-elephant arrays, but they are completely different.

"So that's it..."

Mo Hua was refreshed and began to compare carefully, carefully analyzing these common and basic four-elephant array patterns through the overlap of the array pattern trajectories in the calculation of the spiritual consciousness.

One by one, the array patterns were recalculated, compared, and analyzed by Mo Hua, and he drew them on paper...

After more than half an hour, Mo Hua finally finished the calculation.

He put these more basic and universal four-symbol array patterns together one by one and looked at them carefully.

These array patterns are more abstract than "eagle patterns" or "beast patterns".

More like...

chains, or cages...

Looking at them, Mo Hua suddenly opened his eyes wide and was shocked.

These array patterns...

He had seen them before!

Mo Hua quickly opened his storage bag and found a few wooden boards from the bottom of the storage bag. These wooden boards were engraved with very similar patterns.

Although the strokes were slightly different and the patterns were also very different.

But Mo Hua was experienced and could tell at a glance that these two types of array patterns were indeed inherited from the same lineage.

These wooden boards are...

Mo Hua's eyes narrowed slightly and he murmured:

"Yu'er..."

In that restaurant, when he rescued Yu'er from the human traffickers, Yu'er was locked in a box with array patterns drawn on it.

These wooden boards are from the wooden box that held Yu'er.

The formation on the wooden board also trapped Yu'er, isolating her breath and perception, that strange "lock" formation.

Mo Hua used the Tianji Guisuan and Tianji Yansuan to thoroughly understand some of the mysteries of the "lock" formation pattern, and mastered some of the "generation and restraint" relationships, thus unlocking the formation lock.

But because he was just guessing, he knew the result, but didn't know why.

Mo Hua actually didn't know anything about the basic formation theory.

Later, when he joined the sect, he had a lot of homework and couldn't be distracted, so Mo Hua gradually forgot about these formation patterns.

He didn't expect that now, by chance, he would see this set of "lock formation" formation patterns again...

But his understanding of these formation patterns stopped here.

Because it was not a complete inheritance, Mo Hua could only figure out these.

He must find a way to get more of the same type of four-image formations or four-image formation patterns...

Mo Hua frowned, his mind turned quickly.

Four-elephant beast pattern...

Four-elephant demon pattern, sinful cultivator vulture...

Four-elephant bottom array pattern, unknown lock array, Yu'er...

Human trafficker, Boss Jiang...

Mo Hua still remembered the crimes of Vulture recorded in the wanted order issued by Dao Tingsi:

"He had forcibly taken essence from female disciples, killed people, and was a human trafficker, selling young cultivators as "food" for demon cultivators..."

"He had been a "human trafficker"...

Mo Hua's mind moved slightly.

Boss Jiang was a human trafficker, and Vulture was also a human trafficker, selling cultivators...

Does this mean that Vulture and Boss Jiang's group may have had some intersections, either colluding with each other and doing bad things together, or even being in the same group.

On Boss Jiang’s wooden box, there is a lock-type four-image formation, and on the vulture’s bald head, there is a demon pattern four-image formation...

In this way, the formations they used should also come from the same source?

In Mo Hua's mind, a name suddenly appeared:

Mr. Tu...

This Mr. Tu was mentioned by Boss Jiang, and he sounded very mysterious.

In his words, Boss Jiang showed great respect for him, and even feared him a little.

"Those who are with Boss Jiang are most likely not good people..."

"When you call me 'Sir', you should not be a reckless man, a physical practitioner, or an executioner who personally performs the sword..."

"Either you know calculations, you know formations, or you know both?"

"Then this set of four elephants, could it be that it was created by 'Mr. Tu'?"

Mo Hua nodded and gradually had a clear goal in his mind:

Catch this mysterious "Mr. Tu".

He must have the inheritance of the Four Elephants Formation in his body, and it definitely won't be the ordinary Four Elephants inheritance.

This kind of "locking" formation pattern gives the impression of ink painting, which is quite obscure and profound, close to the deepest mystery of the four-image formation, and even has a hint of the "Five Elements Origin Pattern"...

Mo Hua couldn't help but lick his lips.

This Mr. Tu...

It's a big fat sheep!

If you really catch it, you can not only harvest the wool, but you can even eat the mutton, grill the lamb chops, and use the bones to stew soup!

And Yu'er...

They must have no good intentions when it comes to Yu'er.

He couldn't let them go.

However, this "Mr. Tu" probably has a very high level of cultivation and is quite accomplished in formations. Even in calculations, he is probably very proficient...

Moreover, he is still hiding in the dark, so it may not be easy to find him out...

"Look for clues and figure them out slowly..."

"If it doesn't work, report it to the Daoting Division. There is also the Taixu Sect, the Shangguan family and the Wenren family, Uncle Shangguan and Aunt Wan..."

Mo Hua counted around and realized that he actually didn't need to do it himself, there were many "thugs".

He just needs to act according to the situation and "pick up the slack".

Mo Hua nodded, feeling that this was safer.

"But how can we find this 'Mr. Tu'?"

Mo Hua went through what happened after entering Qianzhou from beginning to end in his mind, and found that there were very few clues about Mr. Tu.

The most obvious one is "human traffickers".

Mo Hua thought silently in his heart: "It seems that future sect missions will have to be done with rewards from human traffickers..."

"And Boss Jiang, and Vulture..."

"Although they are dead, their interpersonal relationships are definitely still there, and birds of a feather flock together. Those who are together are definitely not good people. There is a high probability that they are criminal cultivators wanted by the Dao Tingsi."

"Find these people and torture them... No, use the fireball technique to 'influence' them. If their consciences are discovered, they should tell themselves some truth..."

"And..."

Mo Hua took out another jade order from the storage bag.

It was the messenger in the vulture's hand.

He checked it and found that it was indeed clean and blank.

But he is a formation master and knows the principle of "presence and absence complement each other".

"Being" can become "nothing", and "nothing" can also be transformed into "being".

What's more, Uncle Zhang Lan also warned himself, "When the rain passes, it leaves traces, and when the geese pass by, they leave their voices. Whatever a monk does, he will leave traces..."

Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Mo Hua plans to research and see if he can find any clues about the "Vulture" from the messenger order.

Look at who he was talking to, what words he exchanged, and what words he said.

In the next two days, the ink paintings were used to study the messenger order, but after studying it for a long time, there was no progress.

Mo Hua still didn't know anything about the secrets in the order of communication.

Mo Hua sighed.

Sure enough, working behind closed doors still doesn’t work...

His current formation attainments, especially formation experience, are not enough to support him in quickly understanding the secrets of an unfamiliar formation.

Even if he is both a scheming and calculating person.

But he is in the sect now and is a disciple of the Taixu Sect. He doesn’t know how to learn, so he just asks if he doesn’t understand...

Mo Hua then ran to ask Mr. Xun.

There are some things you can't ask.

For example, Taixu's spiritual thoughts turned into swords, or things involving heaven's secret calculations and calculations.

But things like "messages" don't have much cause and effect, so it shouldn't hurt to ask.

Mr. Xun was just a little surprised and asked:

"Why did you suddenly ask about the 'Course Order'?"

Mo Hua said shyly: "I was born in Xiaoxian City in Lizhou. I have never seen a messenger before, so I was a little curious for a while..."

"I think the order must contain some formation principles, but I thought about it for a few days and had no clue, so I asked the old gentleman for advice..."

Mr. Xun nodded slightly.

There is a desire for knowledge and a heart for seeking truth.

When something happens, you are curious and know how to think by yourself.

Thinking but not knowing, yet being able to ask questions with an open mind.

good……

Mr. Xun was very satisfied.

As for the "Call of Letters" matter, although it is a bit early to teach it now, but a few reminders in advance will make him aware of it, and he will get twice the result with half the effort if he learns it again in the future...

Mr. Xun thought silently in his heart, and then said:

"This type of formation is relatively complicated and not suitable for you to learn now. But since you are curious, I will tell you some basic principles of the formation. Just make sure you know it well..."

"But don't aim too high, don't waste too much energy on it, you still have to be down-to-earth, step by step, and learn the conventional formations thoroughly..."

"Yeah!"

Mo Hua nodded repeatedly.

Mr. Xun said: "The book transmission order is used to transmit books, and the formation involved is the 'Zhen' formation of the Bagua type, which is commonly known as the 'Thunder Pattern' formation..."

This was within Mo Hua's expectations.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and asked, "Old sir, is the thunder pattern related to 'primordial magnetism'?"

Mr. Xun nodded slightly, "Yes, but the so-called 'primordial magnetism' is different from the normal 'thunder pattern'..."

"The type of array pattern involved in the book transmission order is not 'thunder', but 'electricity', or more precisely, 'magnetism'..."

"Electricity patterns, or magnetic patterns, are generally classified as the Eight Trigrams Zhen system, but are collectively referred to as 'secondary thunder patterns', which means that they are derived from the Eight Trigrams and have thunder properties, but the power is weak, 'secondary' to the real thunder, and are secondary array patterns of thunder patterns..."

Mo Hua suddenly realized.

Secondary thunder patterns, secondary array patterns, are also considered a type of array pattern variation.

Similar to the array pattern changes based on the Four Symbols Demon Pattern and the Four Symbols Beast Pattern.

Mr. Xun said: "Secondary thunder patterns, electricity generates magnetism, similar to some magnetic arrays of the Five Elements Gold System, which can be used for reconnaissance, induction, instruction, and communication."

"It is a confidential array."

Mo Hua nodded, and couldn't help asking:

"Then... what about the real thunder pattern?"

Mr. Xun's eyes were slightly stern, and his expression was solemn:

"The real thunder pattern is too complicated and too powerful. This kind of array is extremely difficult to control..."

"It is not just the 'Zhen Gua', but also contains many changes of the 'Qian Gua', 'Kan Gua', and 'Xun Gua'..."

"Therefore, it is difficult to comprehend, control, and set up."

"The real thunder array is terrifyingly powerful and can wipe out everything."

"That's The real thunder of heaven...”

Mr. Xun sighed, his eyes showing awe, and said: “The thunder of the nine heavens symbolizes the great power of heaven, destroying evil and killing demons, and penetrating heaven and earth. It is the evolution of the way of ‘killing’.”

“Although the ‘thunder pattern’ counts the eight trigrams, it contains many trigram principles, which is completely different from other eight trigrams arrays.”

“To control the thunder pattern, the heart of Tao must be upright.”

“If there is a little evil and private thought, it is easy to be backfired by the thunder of heaven, and be ‘punished by heaven’ and buried under one’s own thunder array.”

“Therefore, the inheritance of the thunder array is extremely demanding.”

“In this world, there are only a handful of families that can inherit the real ‘thunder pattern’.”

Mo Hua was shocked. He thought of the “thunder pattern” that he left on the Taoist stele, which wiped out everything, and was thoughtful.

But he also noticed another message in Mr. Xun's words:

"There are only a handful of them..."

Mo Hua's eyes turned, "Does that mean... there are still families that have inherited the thunder pattern?"

Mr. Xun nodded, "Yes, but most of these families have been struck by lightning, so they either gave up the inheritance and sought other development, or lived in seclusion, not caring about the secular world, and adhering to their own hearts."

"The only one that has passed down the thunder pattern from generation to generation and has a considerable influence is the Zheng family in Zhenzhou."

"Zheng family?" Mo Hua was surprised, "Zheng Fang's family?"

Zheng Fang...

Mo Hua still remembers that among his fellow disciples, there was a disciple named Zheng Xuan who had a square face, was a bit upright, and occasionally stupid.

The first time Mr. Xun asked him to substitute for a class, Zheng Fang also used the family's secret formation to "test" him, and let him secretly learn a formation.

Could that formation be the thunder formation?

Mr. Xun seemed to have guessed Mo Hua's thoughts and shook his head slightly, "Thunder formations are not easily passed on, even for the direct descendants of the Zheng family..."

"Zheng Fang is still young and is not qualified to learn the inheritance of thunder patterns. What he has learned is at most some basic secondary thunder formation variations..."

"Not only Zheng Fang, but also the entire Qianxuezhou world, among the Zheng family disciples who have joined various sects, no one is qualified to learn thunder formations."

Mo Hua felt a little regretful.

But it makes sense. Thunder patterns are of great importance. Even if Zheng Fang is a "stupid", he can't use this formation to "test" himself...

Unless he has lost his mind because of his "Tao Heart Demon".

Besides, Tao Heart Demon, he can't do it either...

"Is there no one in Qianxuezhou world who knows thunder formations?" Mo Hua asked curiously again.

"Yes." Mr. Xun said.

Mo Hua was slightly stunned.

"In this Qianxuezhou realm, the only one who has inherited the 'Thunder Array'..."

Mr. Xun frowned, thought for a moment, and then slowly said, "It should be... Zheng Wanjun..."

"Zheng Wanjun?"

Mo Hua was a little confused.

He had never heard of this name.

Mr. Xun nodded slightly, "He is one of the four major sects, one of the Qiandao Sect, the Yuhua Elder..."

I wanted to write 4k to be lazy, but I ended up writing 6k without realizing it...
