Chapter 45 Surprise

Mr. Rizhuang’s teaching method was different the next day. He only taught Mo Hua the formation theory within the Qi refining period, and also combined various formations to let Mo Hua learn step by step.

This method is very similar to Yan Jiaoxi’s teaching method, but Mr. Zhuang’s level should be much higher, so the pattern is larger, the details are more complete, and the context is clearer.

Mo Hua also secretly felt sorry for Yan Jiaoxi. If it were not for the restriction of realm, Yan Jiaoxi might not be an ordinary teacher. At least in terms of the concepts of inheritance and education of formations, Yan Jiaoxi and Mr. Zhuang, who is highly accomplished in formations, have something in common. .

 The obscure formation theories taught by Mr. Zhuang before made Mo Hua a headache.

He has never been exposed to some theoretical ink paintings, so he has no clue and can only memorize them by rote. But no matter how good his memory is, he cannot remember these abstract and empty theoretical knowledge. He often forgets the previous ones and looks back at the previous contents. , and forgot the latter part, so I learned very slowly.

 Learning ink painting eagerly and painting persistently.

After painting the Dingshui Formation, Mr. Zhuang taught several new formations, such as "Qianjun Formation", "Quicksand Formation", "Little Cloud and Rain Formation", etc. The ink painting was supported by spiritual consciousness and day and night practice, so After half a month, I have mastered them all.

“That’s it,” Mr. Zhuang pointed at the table, pondered for a moment, and then asked, “Have you ever seen some strange images or patterns? When people take a look at them, their consciousness will be involuntarily immersed in them.”

The old man was indifferent, "Life and death are determined by destiny. If you say such things, it shows that you have not yet begun to understand the way of heaven."

Mr. Zhuang was silent for a moment and then said: "Your spiritual consciousness has grown faster than others. You should have noticed this."

 “What good is the pride of heaven?”

 “Do you know about meditation?” Mr. Zhuang asked again.

The strangest thing he has ever seen is the Taoist monument in his mind, but there are no patterns or obvious lines on the Taoist monument, and he will not be immersed in it after looking at it for a long time.

Mr. Zhuang sighed and said displeasedly: "If I die young, I will definitely die of anger!"

Mo Hua still shook his head.

On this day, Mo Hua was learning a formation that included seven formation patterns. Mr. Zhuang suddenly asked: "Mo Hua, do you know the method of visualization?"

Mr. Zhuang first asked Mo Hua to relearn several formations containing five formation patterns, including some formations with five elements attributes that Mo Hua had never seen before. Mr. Puppet also helped Mo Hua prepare the formation diagrams including pen and ink.

Mo Hua didn’t know what was special about Mr. Zhuang, but there was something new to learn, so he happily said: “Thank you, sir.”

  The old man was still playing chess alone, sitting as still as a rotten tree.

“The child Mo Hua’s understanding is better than I thought before. It’s just a pity that he is from a casual cultivator and lacks the inheritance of formations. His foundation is much worse. Otherwise, he may not be much worse than the proud sons of those aristocratic families..."

 Mr. Zhuang teaches more about formations that include six formations, because the six formations are relatively complete and involve the prototypes of many basic formations, so they require a lot of learning and understanding.

During the day, I painted formations in Mr. Zhuang's leisurely residence. At night, when I fell asleep, I continued to practice on the Dao stele in the Sea of ​​Knowledge. The formations of the five formations are not very difficult for ink painting. Generally, you can learn them after a few days of familiarity. One pair.

Mr. Zhuang is quite satisfied, not only with the progress of ink painting, but also with the character of ink painting.

Mo Hua looked astonished and said, "This disciple has never heard of it."

Mo Hua sighed. There was no point in comparing with others. He could only try his best to do better. Mo Hua warned himself, then calmed down and learned the formation according to Mr. Zhuang's method.

Mr. Zhuang simply lay down on the recliner and said meaningfully: "The heaven and the earth are unkind, and all creatures are like dogs. If a person can really understand the way of heaven, can he still be regarded as a human being?"

 Because Mo Hua painted a large number of formations day and night. He painted on Taoist monuments at night and on paper during the day. Occasionally, he would pull out a grass root and draw on the ground if he had nothing to do.

Mo Hua then asked: "Sir, can your spiritual consciousness be enhanced as long as you keep drawing formations?"

 Because relying on the painting formation method to enhance spiritual consciousness is an extremely slow process, and it is easy to dry up spiritual consciousness and damage the sea of ​​consciousness, causing irreparable consequences.

Mr. Zhuang's expression gradually became serious, "If someone asks you why your spiritual consciousness grows so fast, just say it's because I taught you the meditation technique. There is no need to say anything else."

 194.88.251.172

Mo Hua nodded and said: "Disciples draw formations during the day and practice formations while dreaming at night. Moreover, dreaming and drawing formations at night does not consume your spiritual consciousness. In this way, your spiritual consciousness will gradually increase day and night."

 Privately, Mr. Zhuang still felt a little regretful, so he said to Mr. Puppet:

Mr. Zhuang frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.

Not all children as old as Mo Hua have the determination to sit down and learn formations every day.

Mr. Zhuang was silent for a moment.

The old man looked at Mr. Zhuang silently, his voice was straight and indifferent, but there was an unspeakable sarcasm in it, "Weren't you the proud one of heaven back then? Which of the disciples you accepted before was not the proud one of heaven, so what happened? ? You are in such a state of desolation now, do you need me to say..."

When Mr. Zhuang finished learning the formation of six formations and was about to teach the formation of seven formations, he discovered something quite surprising, that is, the spiritual consciousness of Mo Hua grew a bit fast.

After that came the Dingshui Formation with six lines of formations. Before, Mo Hua was limited by his spiritual consciousness and could not draw a complete formation. Now, more than half a month has passed and he has been practicing the formation every day, and his spiritual consciousness has also increased a lot. Although he was a little reluctant, he was still able to completely draw the Dingshui Formation containing the six formation patterns.

 So after Mr. Zhuang changed the teaching method, he learned ink painting very quickly. After completing the theoretical study and letting Mo Hua draw formations by himself, the progress of ink painting was even faster.

Mr. Zhuang was asked.

 The difference in background and inheritance between ordinary casual cultivators and aristocratic families is so great that among ordinary casual cultivators, formation masters are almost disconnected.

These ink paintings are very difficult to learn, but aristocratic families use them as the basis for learning formations. It is no wonder that these aristocratic families can stand in the monastic world for tens of thousands of years without falling.

Mr. Zhuang felt that things were not that simple. He looked at Mo Hua with a little doubt, but when he touched Mo Hua's gaze, he found that Mo Hua's clear eyes were surprisingly serious and frank.

 Now starting from the Qi refining period, I mainly focus on drawing formations, supplemented by formation theory, and I can learn ink painting much faster.

When Mr. Zhuang saw Mo Hua for the first time, Mo Hua's spiritual consciousness was not enough to draw six formation patterns. Now a month later, Mo Hua's spiritual consciousness can not only support him to complete a complete formation including six formation patterns, but also Now with seven formations, he can also draw six and a half formations. In a month's time, Mo Hua's spiritual power improved very little, but his spiritual consciousness increased rapidly.

"Meditation allows monks to enter a state of trance in a short period of time through meditation, so as to recover their spiritual consciousness faster. This is not something that a monk of your level should learn, but you are a bit special, so you can learn it now."

Mo Hua thought for a moment and shook his head.

 Mo Hua is actually not sure whether his spiritual consciousness has increased because of the Taoist monument or simply because he keeps drawing formations.

 I didn’t say anything about the monument, but everything else is true.

 Therefore, few monks think of enhancing their spiritual consciousness by drawing formations, which is the simplest, slowest, and most risky method.

Mr. Zhuang has taught many disciples. He has seen some with admiration, some with fear, and some with full of thoughts. He has never seen such a frank look in his eyes. Then he laughed and said: "That's okay."

 “But there is one thing you must remember.”

 Drawing formations will continuously consume your spiritual consciousness, and will also continue to exercise your consciousness. As time goes by, your spiritual consciousness will naturally strengthen.

 But according to the usual practice in the monastic world, one should first find ways to improve one's spiritual consciousness, and then learn formations.

Mo Hua was a little confused, but he vaguely felt that Mr. Zhuang was doing it for his own good, and silently kept Mr. Zhuang's words in his heart.

Mr. Zhuang nodded and took out a thin booklet from his sleeve. There were three words written on the booklet:

 "Meditation".
