Asking About Longevity Chapter 515

Chapter 515 Cows and Horses

 The first is the design of the mine.

This large mine must not only open up and connect the mountains, but also build a formation system with rigorous structure and complete functions.

 Which mountains should be opened and how to connect them?

 Which formations to build and how to lay them out.

 These are all things to consider.

“For example, in the early stage of foundation building, you are a first-level formation master, in the middle stage of foundation building, you are a second-level elementary formation master, and in the late stage of foundation building, you are a second-level mid-level formation master…”

“Puppet.” Mo Hua said, “When you paint the Spiritual Pivot Formation, you can move it under the control of your spiritual consciousness, transport ore, reduce the hard work of mine repairs, and improve mining efficiency...”

Young Master Yun was puzzled. A few days later, when Mo Hua started to draw the formation, Young Master Yun walked up to Mo Hua a little shyly and embarrassedly.

 It's just that before, the corpse tide was a disaster, time was tight, and we didn't have much chat, so we weren't familiar with him.

 Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

  He is a second-grade formation master with a family background, so he has a deeper understanding.

　Why do these words sound familiar? They sound like Uncle Zhang Lan.

But almost no one thought of popularizing these, the most basic formations, for the most ordinary monks...

Master Yun hesitated for a moment, and then said apologetically:

 “Perhaps, a little abrupt…”

 Then let the zombies drive away.

Mr. Yun was thoughtful.

 No formation master can resist the temptation of formations.

 Ink painting teaches Mr. Yun the Lingshu Formation.

 Manpower is sometimes exhausted.

“My current cultivation level is only at the early stage of foundation building, so the level of an array master is only at the beginning of the second level.”

Although he is proficient in formations, there are many things that cannot be done by one person and will take a lot of time.

 The main reason is that his spiritual consciousness is limited and he cannot practice it several times a day, so the formation patterns are inevitably unfamiliar and his comprehension is much slower.

If a large formation is built, once it breaks down, almost no one will repair it after Mo Hua leaves.

This kind of thing goes against his common sense as a formation master.

 “Lingshu Formation.” Mo Hua said.

 In the Yun family, and even in the entire state where the Yun family is located, he is a highly regarded formation genius.

 It is estimated that he has always stayed in the family, has not been out much, and is not deeply involved in the world.

 “Lingshu Formation…”

The ink painting is a bit regretful.

 Other monks, and even some other formation masters, may not understand what the ultimate formation means.

 The old formation master blew the ink painting.

There are many formations. Although Mo Hua can draw the formations very quickly, after all, there is only one person and he cannot draw them, so he needs the help of formation masters like Daoting.

 “Help me draw the formation.”

 “The formation in the mine?”

Master Yun was a little surprised, "These are..."

 There are also differences between geniuses, even worlds apart.

Mo Hua called Master Shangyun and came to a workshop in the city.

Master Yun shook his head, "No way."

Master Yun's heart trembled and he opened his mouth wide.

After Mo Hua left, an old formation master sighed: "This formation is well constructed..."

Now he "sends it to the door" himself. He is just getting off the donkey along the **** and asks him for help.

The ultimate formation with twelve lines at the first level is complex and requires a high level of spiritual consciousness. Almost no one in Nanyue City can learn it.

 Make these formations clearer and more concise, while also removing some redundant formations and reducing some costs.

Mr. Yun reciprocated the favor and answered with all his heart:

“When you reach the second level, formation masters and formation techniques will be divided into junior, middle and high levels, which correspond to the realm of cultivation before, during, and after foundation building.”

Master Yun looked at the formation in front of him, but he was a little silent, frowning in thought.

 This is the true understanding of the formation and applying what you have learned.

 After that, he showed it to the formation masters from Daoting. After some discussion, it was finalized.

Under Mo Hua's control, the Corpse King never changed again, the Iron Corpse obeyed orders, and all the Walking Corpses worked hard without complaint.

Their movements are mechanical and repetitive, one pickaxe after another, digging the mine bit by bit.

"Well." Master Yun explained, "There is a 'quantitative' difference in spiritual consciousness between Qi refining and foundation building, but there is a 'qualitative' difference in spiritual power. Similarly, the formation principles involved in first- and second-grade formations, And the spiritual power driven by the formation is also qualitatively different."

Master Yun is a second-grade formation master who can draw first-grade formations very quickly.

 All formation masters are learning more advanced formations and more difficult formations in order to improve their own formation level and pursue a greater future as a monk.

Although there are many formations used in the mine, the difficulty is not high.

"Did you draw the formation on the corpse king? Is that... the ultimate formation?"

Master Yun couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I promise you!"

 Essentially speaking, it is not really a "super-grade", but should be considered a serious super-grade...

Mo Hua saw that Master Yun looked a little disappointed and wondered what he was thinking.

Master Yun suddenly turned slightly red and felt a little ashamed.

Master Yun was stunned.

Master Yun was studying, and when he had free time, he would help Mo Hua draw formations.

You don't even need to look at the ink painting, just rely on memory. Turn your white wrist and move the pen, and the lines will appear under the pen.

 The idea is indeed exquisite, but...

 But what made him unbelievable was that Mo Hua could draw faster than him!

 When he draws the formation, he also has to look at the formation diagram to confirm the formation pattern.

At the same time, the ink painting also combines the underlying structure of the Five Elements Demon Slaying Formation, and uses the formation principle of the Five Elements to sort out and optimize these complex formations.

 “Help?” Master Yun was startled.

What's more, this matter also requires the use of the Spiritual Pivot Formation.

 Master the ultimate formation of one grade and twelve lines.

How many times have I drawn this...

Mo Hua ordered the zombies again to return to the corpse mine to sleep.

 The mine needs to draw some preliminary formations, build the formation framework, and fill in some basic formations in advance.

 The eighth level of Qi refining.

 In the mine, there is no need for a large formation, and there is no way to use a large formation.

“So, Qi Refining monks cannot learn the second-grade formation.”

Mo Hua also looked at him in surprise.

 “Master Yun, is something okay?”

Master Yun answered them all one by one.

To carve out a home for their descendants, where they can have enough food, clothing and clothing to live safely...

  He is a second-grade formation master and a genius in formation. His spiritual knowledge and understanding should be sufficient.

Master Yun was so grateful that he had nothing to repay, so he secretly taught Mo Hua some of the formations passed down by the Yun family.

"Once it is cut off, no matter how precious the formation is, it will be useless."

Some people are so genius that they are almost evil.

Mo Hua nodded, understanding more about the concept of grade.

“Generally speaking, the standard of formation masters lags behind their own level of cultivation.”

Suddenly Mo Hua's eyes brightened slightly and he whispered:

“Master Yun, do you know what kind of formation this is?”

Master Yun did not learn the Lingshu Formation quickly.

“For someone like me, in the early stage of foundation building, I can become a second-grade primary formation master, which is considered...”

 More than a month later, the excavation of the mine was completed.

 It is natural that progress will be slower.

 They all agreed.

Mo Hua nodded, "Master taught me that formations must be learned and put into practice..."

 The old formation master couldn't help but shook his head.

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded, "There are a lot of spiritual pivot formations to be drawn. I can't do it by myself, so I need your help."

Mo Hua was drawing the formation seriously. When he saw Master Yun, he said curiously:

“Usually it's because of insufficient spiritual awareness. Another reason is spiritual power.”

 He looked at the childish ink painting in front of him again and sighed in his heart.

His current formation level has far exceeded that of a first-grade formation master.

 This is a little monster.

 These formations are very complex.

It seems like he has never done this kind of thing before.

 Simple, basic, and practical.

Mr. Yun came to his senses and asked, "Is this what you asked me to help you with?"

Mo Hua felt a little bit regretful, "Is it okay?"

In Nanyue City, there is only a second-grade formation master among all the forces in the Taoist court, and he is still so young, so Mo Hua naturally knows him.

Mo Hua asked them, and they didn't hide anything.

 But the amount of work is not small.

Master Yun wanted to say "genius", but after looking at the ink painting, he said: "...it's pretty good..."

 “Is it because the spiritual consciousness is not enough?”

  194.50.122.76

Mo Hua was stunned.

Mo Hua was honest with others. Master Yun was not deeply involved in the world and had no scheming intentions. Both of them were formation masters. As they chatted, the two of them got to know each other a lot, and their conversations were very congenial.

 The formations in the mines are trivial.

 Zombies all over the mountains and plains follow the instructions of the ink paintings and walk into the mines in an orderly manner. They go hand in hand to dig the mine shafts.

 Hence, the formations in the mine are just a bunch of complex formations, including some simple single formations.

 Learn the Zhang family's passing steps by yourself. Zhang Lan seems to have told him the same thing...

"Then..." Mo Hua winked and said seductively, "Do you want to learn?"

“Using higher-end formations may have better effects, but once they break, no one will repair them.”

 The ink painting could be seen clearly, so he asked:

 “What else do you want to ask?”

Mo Hua asked curiously: "Can the Qi Refining monk become a second-grade formation master?"

Master Yun is a little confused.

These formation patterns look simple, yet majestic, as if they were born out of... a grand formation?

 The large formations gather simplicity into complexity and integrate them comprehensively, and these formations are just about deleting the complexity and making it simple.

Mo Hua has had his idea for a long time.

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded and said, "The formation needs to be passed down in order to have a long history. If the broom is cherished, no matter how precious the formation is, it will be cut off sooner or later."

 “There are others, you will know when the time comes…”

 Why, they use basic and simple formations.

 Time passes day by day.

 Then he asked some other questions.

 The spacious courtyard is filled with puppets made of hardwood that look like cows and horses.

"yes!"

Mo Hua sighed slightly and continued:

“This is the mine, and the formation inside is for mine repair.”

Master Yun blinked, "Just don't say I taught you this."

"Yes, yes..." Master Yun pondered for a moment and asked curiously, "But what kind of help do you need?"

 After learning the formation, use it appropriately to benefit more monks...

No one has ever said this to him.

 After the mine is opened, the mine shaft is dug, and then the subsequent formations are completed.

Master Yun was secretly shocked, but at the same time he was also a little relieved.

 For fear of the zombies changing, all the mining repairmen stayed in Tongxian City.

This scene is both weird and harmonious.

“The formations in this world look the same when they are drawn on paper, but in actual use they are completely different.”

These formations are very simple, and they are the same regardless of whether they are drawn with ink or not.

 “Okay!” Master Yun said happily.

“Even if they can repair it, they can't afford it.”

"Since you want to learn, then I will teach you, but you have to promise me not to use it for bad things."

"Spiritual power?"

 Some time later, in the mine, the early formations were drawn, and Master Yun also learned a rough outline of the Lingshu formation.

The young formation master nodded, but his expression was still a little disapproving.

Not only do I want to bring some benefits to these poor mine repairmen, but at the same time, I am grateful for Mo Hua's life-saving grace in suppressing the corpse king and quelling the corpse disease.

Mo Hua smiled and said, "Then I'll teach you."

The Taoist soldiers were stationed all around.

 Among those of the same grade, you can jump up the ranks and learn faster than others.

 He thought that if his spiritual consciousness was strong enough, he could try to learn the second-level formation.

"One more thing..." Mo Hua added, "After you learn it, you have to do me a favor."

Instead of using some more effective, first-grade, or even more than one-grade formations.

 The ink paintings were sold out.

 Including defensive formations, solid soil formations, lighting formations, ventilation formations, filth removal formations, and some temporary response to monsters such as golden blade formations, earthen prison formations, etc.

 It took him a week to practice ink painting in a day or two.

 The formation masters on the Daoting side completed the subsequent formations in the mine according to the formation diagram drawn in ink.

 But only then did he know.

 “The mine repairman is very poor.”

 Ink painting requires something else.

He pointed to the formation diagram on the table, "These formations may seem simple, but the layout is concise and they complement each other. If you add one more, it will be too much, and if you subtract one, it will be too little. To achieve this, the foundation must be sufficient. Deep and the foundation is solid enough…”

Some young formation masters wondered: "They are all using ordinary formations, so they are just so-so, right?"

 This is what he had planned for a long time.

He thought that Master Yun, who was so young and a second-grade formation master, must be arrogant, but he didn't expect that he was so shy and his face was tenderer than his own.

Master Yun was even more surprised, "Are you willing to teach me?"

Mo Hua then awakened the Corpse King and asked the Corpse King to take the iron corpse and tens of thousands of walking corpses out of the corpse mine and into various mines.

 “Use?” Young Master Yun was slightly startled.

 But his thoughts are almost written on his face.

He thought Mo Hua was teasing him, but when he looked up, Mo Hua's eyes were as clear as water and not teasing. Then he suppressed the excitement in his heart and nodded slowly:

"think…"

Mo Hua nodded and said frankly:

 But Master Yun should be able to do it.

 It's different when someone helps.

So, Master Yun naturally became the "coolie" of ink painting.

　　Seems random, but the formations written are both neat and precise, and have a special charm.

“Hmm!” Mo Hua's eyes sparkled, “I want to build something and control it with the Spiritual Pivot Formation. It's too busy for one person, so I need your help.”

 But no matter how high you go, you can't surpass the rank...

Master Yun recited it several times, nodded and praised: "It is indeed Jue Zhen, the name alone is extraordinary..."

“So, for them, formations that are simple, durable, strong, and easy to repair are good formations.”

When Mo Hua has time, he will also ask Master Yun for some advice on second-level formations.

 After that, I consulted several aristocratic families and sect elders for their opinions.

Master Yun is a little depressed.

Master Yun seemed to be thinking of something again and hesitated to speak.

Even though he had already made a guess, Master Yun still looked shocked.

The old formation master glared at him, "What do you know? Ordinary formations are the most difficult to use well."

 The clans or sects of these elders also have mining industries.

Young Master Yun was looked at by Mo Hua's innocent and watery eyes. For some reason, he was a little at a loss, but in the end he calmly asked the doubts in his heart:

 They have run related monastery business, guarded mines, or participated in the construction of mines.

 In the mine, it was noisy again.

 But the Jue Zhen seems to be completely different from the second-grade formation.

After Mo Hua became familiar with the structure of the mine, he spent a few days drawing up a large-scale formation sketch.

Although his talent is good, the hard work alone is beyond the capabilities of ordinary formation masters.

 A simple formation is, after all, just a simple formation. Even if you use it, it is nothing more than that.

Mo Hua said: "Because these formations must be used."

 Ink painting taught him how to draw the Lingshu Formation.

 Only the ones working this time were not mine repairmen, but zombies.

The ink painting didn't even need to be shown to Mr. Zhuang, but was only shown to Bai Zixi. The two of them got together and checked the formation patterns, sorted out the formation hubs, checked for any leaks and filled in the gaps, and it was considered perfect.

 It seems that the restrictions on Tiandao's major categories are still very strict.

Young Master Yun made up his mind and asked slowly:

 It needs to meet various functions, and it should be as simple, familiar, and durable as possible. Even if it is damaged, it should be easy to repair.

 Ink Hua first studied the structures of several large and small mines outside Nanyue City by referring to the mine maps of the past dynasties.

Mr. Yun shook his head honestly and said doubtfully:

 “What formation?”

Yang Jishan and several other foundation-building monks with profound cultivation looked wary, staring at the Corpse King, fearing that it would rebel against the Lord Devourer again and become a Taoist evil.

“The formations of the second level are equally difficult to learn and require a lot of time and energy.”

 The mine is connected to several mines. It is very large, has spacious passages, strong walls, and cleans out the odor. It is safe and comfortable.

Master Yun nodded slightly and sighed in his heart.

 The formation is grand and unified.

"Hmm." Mo Hua said, "Just ask."

 He never realized it himself.

Mo Hua wants to know what the threshold is for a second-grade formation master and a second-grade formation.

 Then he was a little confused, "Do these puppets have names?"

"Yes!" Mo Hua said with a bright smile, "You can call them, 'wooden cows and flowing horses'!"
