Asking About Longevity Chapter 531

Chapter 531 Immortal Formation

 The Taoist meeting is over.

 Ink paintings are killing everyone.

 The Five Elements Sect was completely defeated.

Mr. Zhuang left the Zangzhen Pavilion calmly, his expression as before, aloof and arrogant, with a hint of calmness.

 It seems that this small scene is not worth his emotion.

But Mo Hua is very familiar with Mr. Zhuang and knows that the master's expression looks dull now, but he must be very happy in his heart.

Mr. Zhuang was happy, and Mo Hua also felt that the trip was worthwhile. He couldn't help but hold his head high and followed Mr. Zhuang.

Seeing that his junior brother was in the limelight, Bai Zisheng nodded with a look of pride on his face.

Bai Zixi also glanced at Mo Hua, with watery eyes and a slight smile on her lips.

 The master and disciples left the Zangzhen Pavilion and returned to the guest room.

Mr. Zhuang then praised the ink painting and said:

 “Well done!”

Mo Hua smiled and said, "Master taught me well!"

Mr. Zhuang was in a very good mood.

 Having a well-behaved apprentice is just different.

Mr. Zhuang said again:

“Take a rest today and learn the Five Elements Spirit Formation tomorrow.”

"Um!"

Mo Hua nodded vigorously, eyes full of expectation.

 Then he thought of something again and became a little worried, "Master, will the Five Elements Sect let me learn the Five Elements Spiritual Formation?"

Mr. Zhuang's eyes narrowed slightly, "For the sake of the ancestors of the Five Elements Sect, I have already given them enough face..."

“They set the rules, they set the test questions, and they asked them to find help. In the end, they lost clearly..."

"If that's the case, if you still push back and don't fulfill the agreement we made back then, don't blame me for not caring about our feelings..."

Mo Hua was relieved, but still had some worries:

“Even if I were to learn it, it would probably be a stumbling block.”

Mr. Zhuang nodded, "That's natural, but as long as it's not too excessive, I don't bother to worry about such sneaky methods."

Mr. Zhuang glanced at the ink painting and patted his shoulder gently:

“You will encounter many small tricks like this in the future, learn to deal with them yourself.”

Mo Hua nodded, "Okay, Master."

Mr. Zhuang looked a little tired. He closed his eyes slightly and regained his composure. Then he opened his eyes and continued to give instructions:

“Tomorrow, you and your senior brothers and sisters will go to the Tibetan Formation Pavilion to see if you can understand the Five Elements Spirit Formation.”

After Mr. Zhuang finished speaking, he looked at Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi and said:

“If you have enough spiritual knowledge in ink painting, you can learn the formation of the Thirteen Patterns.”

“You don't have enough spiritual knowledge, so try to use the method I teach you…”

 Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi nodded respectfully.

Mo Hua's expression moved slightly and he hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything.

However, his expression was still noticed by Mr. Zhuang.

After Mr. Zhuang finished his instructions and asked the disciples to go back, he paused and called to Mo Hua again.

 “Ink painting.”

Mo Hua, who had reached the threshold, turned back, a little confused, "Master?"

Mr. Zhuang waved.

Mo Hua then walked up to Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang was silent for a moment and asked:

 “Do you...want to ask something?”

Mo Hua hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

Mr. Zhuang's eyes were gentle, as if he could see through Mo Hua's thoughts, and he said softly:

 “Just ask whatever you want.”

Mo Hua knew that he couldn't hide it from Mr. Zhuang, so he stopped hiding it and asked in a low voice:

“Master, what exactly are your teachers, brothers and sisters?”

 “Want to know?”

 “Yeah.” Mo Hua nodded.

 He was indeed very curious.

Mr. Zhuang looked thoughtful and asked instead:

“Why didn't you ask me before?”

Mo Hua said frankly: "Master is far-sighted and naturally has his own plans for doing things. If you can tell me, you will definitely tell me. If you don't tell me, it's obviously because I don't know..."

Mr. Zhuang was startled for a moment, and then his heart felt warm, like a stream soaked in sunshine in spring, slowly flowing through his heart.

Mr. Zhuang's eyes were gentle and he asked Mo Hua softly:

“Don't you think I am partial to your senior brother and sister?”

Mo Hua shook his head, "Master has treated me very well!"

 Those who should be taught, those who can be taught, even some things that are beyond the syllabus, those that should not be taught, and those that cannot be taught, are all taught to themselves.

 On weekdays, I ask the most questions.

Master also took the trouble to answer the questions in the most detailed way.

 Normally, senior brothers and sisters are more in awe of their master.

 The master treats me more closely.

 Speaking of it this way, Mo Hua felt that his master was more partial to him.

Mo Hua looked at Mr. Zhuang, his eyes were clear and spotless, with amber-like crystal dependence and trust.

Mr. Zhuang's eyes were slightly moist, and the feeling in his heart was hard to describe.

 He took a deep breath and said solemnly:

“Mo Hua, you must remember the next words, but don't mention them to anyone.”

Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart and nodded seriously.

Mr. Zhuang made the seal with his hands and flicked it lightly.

 Nothing changes around.

But Mo Hua vaguely felt that within a few feet of this house, it seemed to be isolated.

 It cuts off both sound and cause and effect.

Mr. Zhuang solemnly said:

Mo Hua's expression changed and his pupils shrank.

 Nothing is happening around me.

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Zhuang knew that Mo Hua understood it, so he continued:

 “I told you, there is a sect in our lineage.”

　　　"Cunning man, Zixi and Zisheng's mother, and I, come from the same sect, and are brothers and sisters from the same sect."

“Now, you, Zi Sheng, and Zi Xi are also disciples of this sect.”

 “This sect has a long history.”

“My teacher is the forty-ninth head of this sect.”

"But what is the name of this sect, I can't tell you, and you can't know it either."

"There are many inheritances in this sect. The most important and orthodox one, which cannot be learned by anyone other than the direct descendant of the sect, is the formation inheritance, which is the inheritance I taught your senior brother and sister..."

 “This inheritance is called—”

Mr. Zhuang looked solemn and said word by word: "Immortal formation flow!"

Mo Hua was surprised, "Innate Formation?"

Mr. Zhuang shook his head, "It's not innate..."

 He took out his pen and wrote the word "仙" on the paper, "It's the fairy heaven."

Xiantian…

The ink painting is a bit unbelievable, "The 'immortal' who became an immortal?"

Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly, "This inheritance is top secret. Outsiders have only heard about it, but have never seen the handwriting of the inheritance, so they always thought that this inheritance was the 'Innate Array', but its real name is "Xiantian" Array"!"

“The flow of the Immortal Formation is the source of the Immortal Formation.”

“Since the creation of heaven and earth, immortals have attained the Tao, engraved the Tao Yun, and formed the formations of the heavens. Then all the formations in the world are derived from the Tao and return to the Tao, and they all have a unified origin.”

"The innate formation flow is the summary, the source of all formations in the world."

 “One can understand all, learn one and know all, and all formations can be unified.”

"After learning the immortal formation flow, you can understand the origins of most formations in the world. If you learn the formations again, you will get twice the result with half the effort. You can even overcome the obstacles of spiritual consciousness and understand some. The demand for spiritual consciousness is extremely high and difficult. A huge formation..."

Mo Hua opened his mouth wide.

 This is not inheritance, it is just like a cheating device given by Heaven.

“Of course,” Mr. Zhuang said again, “the innate array flow, the gong participates in the creation, the function is extremely powerful, but it is also extremely difficult to learn, and the requirements for understanding and ability are extremely high.”

“Your senior brothers and sisters can learn this inheritance, but you cannot learn it.”

“Is it because my spiritual roots are weak?” Mo Hua asked doubtfully. "Yes, but not entirely." Mr. Zhuang said, "If you have a poor spiritual foundation, you may not be able to learn well at most, but it's not impossible to learn. And you, you can't learn!"

Mo Hua was startled.

Mr. Zhuang's eyes were dim and he warned again: “Remember, you must not learn!”

"This inheritance involves too much cause and effect. You can't touch it. At least with your current cultivation level, you can't touch it. Even if one day you reach the level of foundation building and golden elixir, you can't touch this cause and effect!"

 You can't even touch the golden elixir…

Mo Hua's eyes were awe-inspiring and he nodded solemnly:

 “Master, I remember!”

Mr. Zhuang looked into Mo Hua's eyes and made sure that he had indeed listened and remembered it. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

 “There is another reason…”

Mr. Zhuang continued, "You can't learn Immortal Formation, or rather... you don't need to learn it."

 Now I really don't understand Mo Hua.

Mr. Zhuang sighed:

“The origin and flow of immortal formations, thousands of formations are unified, one can connect to all, and the power is taken into account by nature, and one can understand the origins of thousands of formations and all methods in the world..."

“These words are also passed down by our ancestors...”

Mo Hua's eyes lit up and he understood: "My ancestors can lie to people!"

Mr. Zhuang looked pleased, nodded and said:

"This sentence was passed down from the ancestors of the sect, but it is not clear whether it is true or false, how much is true and how much is false."

“At present, it seems that the Immortal Formation Flow can indeed enhance the understanding of formations, and it can be understood all at once. This is what our ancestors said.”

“But in the future, when you practice to the depths and realize the heights, you don't know what it will be like.”

“Furthermore, even if the Immortal Formation Stream contains the source of the world's formations, in the final analysis, it is still the 'Tao' summarized by others.”

“It's just that this 'person' may be an 'immortal'.”

“It's hard to say whether he is an immortal or not, or what kind of immortal he is…”

Mr. Zhuang looked at the ink painting with expectations:

“Zi Sheng and Zi Xi, they want to learn the Immortal Formation Style and understand the formations because they have enough basic skills but lack of spiritual awareness, so they must use this method to learn advanced formations.”

 “But you are different…”

 “Your spiritual consciousness is stronger than anyone else's.”

"You can absolutely rely on your own spiritual knowledge to learn, practice, and understand by yourself. Even if it is more difficult, more bumpy, and will take more time and energy, what you get out of it is your own thing. The understanding will be deeper.”

 “Don't be preconceived and learn the Immortal Formation Style.”

“Don't rush to understand the origins of thousands of formations in the world without learning the formations of the heavens.”

"Otherwise, the understanding of all formations will be just a castle in the air, and the source you think you see may not be the real source."

“You have to learn, learn your own formation, and go your own way…”

walk my own path…

 The ink paintings are like enlightenment, with bright eyes.

 He said nothing, but silently saluted Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang looked pleased and felt a little emotional in his heart.

 In this life, I finally have a good apprentice...

Even though half of my life is rough and the rest of my life is in vain, God has treated me well...

 The past events are floating in my mind.

 A variety of emotions.

Mr. Zhuang sighed and looked at the ink paintings, his mood gradually relaxed.

 The next day, Mr. Zhuang took the three Mo Hua people to the Zangzhen Pavilion.

 At this time, there were not that many people in the Zangzhen Pavilion.

 The huge Zangzhen Pavilion is deserted and solemn.

 Between the carved beams and painted pillars, countless formation books and catalogs are displayed, which look rigorous and beautiful.

The only ones who received the Master and Disciples of Mo Hua were the Grand Elder of Five Elements Sect and Headmaster Liao.

 The great elder looked unhappy.

 It seems like yesterday's scene is still vivid in my mind.

Even in his dreams, he could hear the ink paintings asking: "What else?", "Who else?"...

 The elder's eyelids twitched.

Although this little formation master looks innocent, he is actually a real formation monster!

  It is a "small version" of Mr. Zhuang.

 Even more hateful than Mr. Zhuang.

 The great elder was very sad.

The Five Elements Sect lost, and the core inheritance of the Five Elements Sect will be taught by others today.

Although the Five Elements Spiritual Formation of the first grade and thirteen lines is difficult to learn.

But facing Mr. Zhuang and the unpredictable little formation master Mo Hua, the elder didn't feel confident, so his face was pale with a hint of uneasiness.

 Headmaster Liao on the side looked like nothing was wrong.

 It seems that it doesn't matter to him whether the Five Elements Sect's ultimate formation will be learned or not.

After everyone gathered together, Boss Dachang said reluctantly to Mr. Zhuang with a face on his face:

"please."

Mr. Zhuang nodded lightly.

The group of people walked along the stairs to the attic of the Tibetan Formation.

 The Tibetan Formation Pavilion of the Five Elements Sect has four floors in total.

The first floor is wide, with a main hall, desks, and bookcases. It is mainly used to store first-level formations, as well as for disciples to borrow, study, and understand the formation books and diagrams, as well as for gatherings to discuss Taoism.

 The second floor is smaller. Although it is not luxurious, it is more primitive. It is mainly used to collect the second-level formation diagrams and is generally not open to the public.

 The third floor is smaller and is used to store third-level formations.

The furnishings are a bit old and even shabby, but its atmosphere is timeless and profound, making it more awe-inspiring than the gaudy main hall on the first floor.

 The third level formation!

 Ink Hua smacked his lips.

 The foundation of the Five Elements Sect is indeed profound.

 At present, I have not seen many second-level formations, let alone third-level formations.

 He wanted to look through the third-level formation map to see what the third-level formation looked like.

 How many formation patterns are there, how the formation hub flows, how the formation eyes are constructed, how to learn it, and what kind of effects it will have...

 It's a pity that Mo Hua knows that the great elder of Five Elements Sect is an iron rooster.

With his implacable temperament, he is definitely not willing to let himself browse through the third-grade formations in the Hidden Formation Pavilion.

As expected, I didn't even bother to read it, let alone read it.

The great elder led Mo Hua and several others along the stairs densely packed with formations, unlocked them with the elder's order, and walked up to the second floor, past the third floor, and finally to the fourth floor.

 One level on the first floor, two items on the second floor, and three items on the third floor.

The Five Elements Sect probably does not have a fourth-grade inheritance, so what is hidden on this fourth floor should be a set of five unique formations from the Five Elements Sect's town sect - the Five Elements Spiritual Formation.

Mo Hua was behind Mr. Zhuang, peeking out his little head and looking around.

 The fourth floor of the Five Elements Sect is even smaller.

 The surrounding furnishings are simpler, all with wooden beam windows.

 There is a shrine in the middle.

 Under the shrine, there are five futons.

There are formations painted on the walls and floors, but this formation has hidden formation patterns, and its aura is profound and obscure. It is at least the second grade, and maybe even the third grade...

 Even if it is the fourth grade, Mo Hua will not doubt it.

 Mo Hua also had a sense of awe for the Five Elements Sect.

Although the current Five Elements Sect, stripped of its magnificent outer skin, is just a puddle of mud that cannot hold up the wall.

 But the inheritance from its ancestors is indeed extremely deep.

On the fourth floor of the Hidden Formation Pavilion, even if it is just made of ordinary wood as the formation matchmaker, the formations created are awe-inspiring and cannot be underestimated.

The Great Elder was also a little sad. After a while, he calmed down and said to Mo Hua and others:

“The Five Elements Spirit Formation is hidden in this shrine.”

“Sit on the futon and visualize the shrine. If you have enough understanding, you can see the diagram of the Five Elements Spiritual Array.”

 Visualization?

Mo Hua was slightly startled and couldn't help but look at the niche.

Then this shrine is an alternative visualization picture?

 If you visualize the shrine and have enough understanding, can you learn the Five Elements Spiritual Formation?

 It shouldn't be that simple...

Mo Hua secretly glanced at the Great Elder, and sure enough, he saw a hint of joking and cunning flashing through the Great Elder's eyes.

Not just an iron rooster.

 Still an old fox...

Mo Hua muttered in his heart.
