Asking About Longevity Chapter 437

Chapter 437 Disdain

　　If you are unsure about something, it is better not to show off and ask Mr. Xiazhuang.

Mo Hua then ran to see Mr. Zhuang in the bamboo room.

Mr. Zhuang is sitting on a bamboo chair, making tea and blowing the breeze. He squints his eyes slightly and looks comfortable.

Mo Hua waited outside for a while, then suddenly looked up and saw Mr. Zhuang looking at him. His eyes lit up, he ran forward, handed over the formation he had restored, and asked:

“Master, can I learn this formation?”

Mr. Zhuang didn't even look at it. He nodded and said:

"Can."

Mo Hua was slightly startled, "Isn't this an evil formation?"

Mr. Zhuang's eyes were slightly deep and he asked:

“Do you know what is the difference between the evil formation and the normal formation?”

Mo Hua frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head honestly.

He has never learned about evil formations. He has only briefly seen the patterns of a few evil formations and does not know the difference between the two.

 If you know something, you know it; if you don't know it, you don't know it.

Since he didn't know clearly, he was embarrassed to make nonsense in front of Mr. Zhuang.

 “What do they have in common?”

Mr. Zhuang asked again.

Mo Hua pondered for a moment and tried:

“Whether it is a formal formation or an evil formation, the basic framework of the formation is the same, consisting of the formation media, formation eyes, formation pivots, and formation patterns..."

"It's just that the specific composition of the formation is different. The evil formation is more evil and the methods are more **** and cruel."

Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly and said, "Not bad."

He picked up the twelve-line formation that was restored from the ink painting, his eyes showed slight admiration, and he pointed:

“So this formation, except for the white bone formation, the human blood formation, and the human heart formation, the other parts of the formation are indeed manifestations of the way of heaven and are within the normal scope of the formation. In other words..."

Mr. Zhuang looked at the ink painting.

Mo Hua's eyes gradually brightened and he continued:

"In other words, this is actually a serious formation, but it was drawn using some evil means?"

Mr. Zhuang said with satisfaction: "Not bad."

Mo Hua frowned again, "Since it is a serious battle, why don't you use it seriously instead of following these evil heretics?"

Mr. Zhuang said with a cryptic look:

"Because if he paints seriously, he can't draw..."

 The ink painting was slightly startled.

Mr. Zhuang was silent for a moment, sighed and said:

 “It's actually very difficult to take the right path…”

“Although there are many so-called righteous monks in the world who are just trying to gain fame and reputation, there are also people who are truly upright and resolute in their Taoist hearts.”

“This type of monk's temperament, means, and ambition are far beyond ordinary people, and the efforts they put in, the hardships they endure, the hardships they endure, and the criticism they suffer are also different from ordinary people.”

 “The same is true for formations.”

“The formation of the righteous path becomes more difficult to learn the deeper you go. If you work ten times as hard, you will often see only one-tenth or two-tenths of the results.”

“So many monks began to look for shortcuts.”

 “This shortcut is the evil formation.”

“If you don't have enough spiritual consciousness, you just visualize and blindly borrow the spiritual thoughts of others and other things without any screening and refinement.”

“If you don't have enough experience in the formation, just draw on the skin of a person with spiritual affinity to reduce the difficulty of the formation.”

"The formation hub didn't have a deep understanding, so he used human blood as ink and human hearts as eyes to forcefully promote the flow of the power of the formation..."

“The so-called evil formation actually adheres to the same principles as the regular formation.”

"It's just that some monks don't want to think, learn, practice, or understand, so they use a tricky method, using human life and flesh as the form and hub of the formation to draw things that they couldn't originally draw. The formation..."

After Mr. Zhuang finished speaking, he looked at the ink painting and said seriously:

"That's why I didn't tell you the principles of the evil formation before, just so that you can patiently learn the formation, practice it over and over again, don't be impatient, and don't think about taking shortcuts."

“You have very good talent and high understanding. Once you think of taking shortcuts, learn evil formations, and fall into the devil's path, your level of formations is likely to improve by leaps and bounds.”

“But in this way, once you have tasted the sweetness, you will no longer practice hard formations, and you will not be able to see the true path.”

 “Learning evil formations only encourages the growth of the seedlings and cannot last long.”

"In front of the formation masters who truly understand the way of heaven, the so-called evil formation masters are just opportunistic and unscrupulous people..."

“The so-called evil formations are just fake formations with dirty blood and superficial appearance. The evil cannot suppress the good and is vulnerable to attack!”

Mr. Zhuang's eyes gradually became sharper, and his whole body was like a fairy sword with a hidden edge, faintly exuding an astonishing aura.

“You have to remember that as monks, we don't join the evil and heretic ways, it's not because we can't, but because we disdain!”

 The ink painting was shocking and full of admiration.

 Not to join the devil's path, it's not that you can't, it's that you disdain!

Mr. Zhuang's words were deeply imprinted in his mind.

 It was as if someone had carved these words into his Taoist heart with a sword.

Mo Hua's eyes gradually became firmer, and his expression became firmer.

When he looked at the evil formation in his hand, he felt much calmer. Even though he was looking at the evil formation, which was full of weirdness and evil, he felt calm and had no worries.

 “Master, disciple, remember this!”

Mo Hua's little face nodded solemnly.

 In the next few days, Mo Hua began to study this desperate formation.

 Get the principles and discard the dross.

 Only focus on the most essential principles of the formation itself, while ignoring its opportunistic evil methods such as human skin formation patterns, flesh and blood formation hubs, and human heart formation eyes.

 As a result, the difficulty of the formation is doubled.

With the formation of the first grade and twelve lines, the strength of the ink painting's spiritual consciousness has only just reached the threshold.

 And spiritual consciousness is only the threshold.

With this spiritual awareness, you also need to practice the lines of the formation, analyze the pattern of the formation, and understand the principles of the formation.

 This requires a lot of time and a lot of practice.

 This process is boring and boring.

 Spiritual consciousness will also be exhausted over and over again, then slowly revived, and then exhausted again...

Since the monument has not yet been restored, ink painting can only use this method. Rely on your own ability, spend more time and energy, practice over and over again, and understand bit by bit.

 He kept Mr. Zhuang's teachings in mind, and although his progress was slow, he was not arrogant or impetuous.

 Practice pays attention to water dripping through stone.

 This is especially true when practicing formations.

Every practice is like water droplets, and every time I think about it, it is like raindrops falling on the stone.

As long as you persist, the water droplets will penetrate the stone. The principles of the formation will also be revealed, and the formation will be thoroughly understood and mastered.

After studying this for several days, Mo Hua gradually understood the secret, and had some understanding of this evil formation that was apparently "refining corpses".

 But this understanding is not profound, it is hazy, as if it is separated by a layer of veil and cannot be seen clearly.

“It seems that I haven't practiced enough, I haven't thought enough, and my understanding isn't deep enough…”

Mo Hua sighed in his heart.

 Just when he thought he needed more time.

 The sea of ​​consciousness suddenly trembled, and the Taoist stele gradually came to life.

Mo Hua felt happy and quickly sank his consciousness into the sea of ​​consciousness.

The gray color on the stele gradually faded away, and the simple and mysterious atmosphere gradually filled in.

 Mo Hua tried to draw a few formations and found that the Dao stele could be used, but the effect was still much worse than before.

 After drawing the formation and then erasing it, only half of the spiritual consciousness can be recalled.

The ink painting is a bit regretful.

 It seems that it has not fully recovered yet.

But this can make do, at least better than nothing.

Mo Hua touched the Taoist stele and said distressedly:

 “I won't bother you next time.”

 Daobei remained silent as always, seemed a little tempered, and did not accept Mo Hua's apology.

 After getting the Dao Monument, even though it was just a "mutilated" version of the Dao Monument, the number of times Mo Hua practiced Jue Zhen every day doubled or tripled.

 His understanding of Jue Zhen was also much faster.

A few days later, the ink painting was finally able to draw the final formation.

 In the formation, the spiritual energy turns into filaments, flowing away from each other, echoing each other, and converging with each other...

But at the same time, Mo Hua frowned.

 Something's wrong…

 “This desperate formation… is incomplete…”

 In other words, it is just a part of the entire formation.

The ink painting was completed, but I still felt that something was missing. The spiritual energy could flow, and there were special changes, but it was quite fragmented, as if it was an abandoned part.

 “How could it be incomplete?”

 I don't understand the ink painting.

 It is clear that the array's eyes, array hubs, and array patterns are all intact.

 Furthermore, what is the effect of this desperate formation?

 The spiritual power in the formation is split into finer hairsprings, like silk threads, twisted together, but each thread has a special flow.

 It looks amazing and confusing...

What is the use of this formation drawn on the heart of a zombie?

Mo Hua didn't want to understand, so he wanted to brainstorm ideas, so he went to ask Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi.

Bai Zixi frowned slightly and said:

“Maybe, it's used to control corpses…”

 “Control the corpse?”

Mo Hua asked doubtfully, "The monks who refine corpses must have their own methods of controlling corpses. Why do they need to use the ultimate formation?"

If you have to fight to control the corpse, then there are not many corpse cultivators in this world, and there are not many monks who can refine corpses.

 After all, there are only a few formation masters who can defeat the formation.

 with corpse refining and control is a more prominent sect of the devil.

 Corpse cultivators who refine corpses are not uncommon in the devil's path.

Bai Zixi thought for a while and said, "It's easy to control corpses, but there's a problem with the quantity."

 “Quantity?” Mo Hua was slightly startled.

Bai Zisheng remembered it, nodded and said:

“Yes, ordinary corpse cultivators cannot control so many zombies.”

“Zhang Quan can control dozens of zombies with ease, which is indeed a bit strange, and he may have trained more zombies, which is wrong...”

 The ink painting suddenly dawned.

If a corpse cultivator can control so many zombies, then relying on the "sea of ​​corpses" tactic, other cultivators of the same level cannot possibly be his opponent.

This is obviously a bit too strong.

Bai Zixi said: "General corpse cultivators can control zombies ranging from a few to more than a dozen. It is impossible to control dozens of zombies."

Mo Hua's eyes narrowed slightly.

 In this way, Zhang Quan may have been able to control so many zombies by relying on his desperate formation.

 Where is the other part of the final battle?

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up:

 “That brass bell?”

Bai Zixi and Bai Zisheng also nodded slightly.

Zhang Quan uses copper bells to control corpses. If the formation is incomplete, there is a high probability that another part of the formation will be drawn in the copper bell.

As for the principle of this formation, we have to wait until Mo Hua finds the entire formation and studies it before we know it.

“It seems that we still need to find Zhang Quan…”

Mo Hua nodded and murmured.

 At the same time, he had another doubt.

Could this corpse-controlling formation, with its first grade and twelve patterns, be... the Lingshu formation of Xiaolingyin Sect?

Mo Hua frowned and thought carefully.

 The formation of the first grade and twelve lines is beyond the limit and extremely rare.

 In a small wilderness state boundary, it should not be so coincidental that there will be two 1st-grade and 12th-level formations.

And the spiritual pivot array, spiritual pivot, spiritual power hub...

 It is also very similar to the effect of controlling corpses.

If this formation is really the Lingshu Formation, then who drew it?

Who can master the ultimate formation and control the corpse for Zhang Quanhua?

  Could this person who was painting the formation be the traitor from the Xiaolingyin Sect?

 Or... is it Yan Jiaoxi?

Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart and his expression became complicated.
