Chapter 65: Unraveling the Formation
After Mo Hua returned home, he had dinner with his parents, and asked his mother to help prepare some braised beef, snacks and fermented rice wine. Then he locked himself in the room and concentrated on thinking about how to solve the formation.
He first drew a fire formation pattern on paper. After the pattern was drawn, it was light red and had a slight burning sensation.
Then Mo Hua followed the method in the book and drew a water formation pattern next to the Kan position of the fire formation pattern.
After the painting, the red color of the fire formation pattern gradually dimmed, and the misty light red aura could not be seen. When he touched it with his hand, he no longer felt the slight burning sensation.
This also means that this fire formation pattern has failed.
Mo Hua was refreshed and tried several other five elements formation patterns one by one. Sure enough, they could all rely on the principle of the five elements' generation and restraint to solve the formation pattern with the formation pattern.
The next step was the formation. Mo Hua spent some time drawing a bright fire formation.
The bright fire formation is composed of three formation patterns and is the simplest type of formation.
When Mo Hua copied the formation for Manager Mo, the first thing he drew was the Minghuo Formation. Now it is effortless to draw this formation again.
It only took a cup of tea to draw a Minghuo Formation with standard brushwork on the paper.
Mo Hua looked at the Minghuo Formation and thought.
When Mo Hua drew the Minghuo Formation before, he just copied it without going too deep. Now he looked carefully and found that in the seemingly simple Minghuo Formation, there is indeed a formation pattern used to gather spirits, and the other two formation patterns are ordinary fire formation patterns, which are used to make the formation effective and illuminate.
Mo Hua compared them one by one according to what Bai Zisheng said.
The gathering spirit formation pattern is the formation eye, the three elements are the formation hub, and the paper used to draw the formation is the formation medium.
Mo Hua tore a hole in the formation paper, and the formation on the paper was indeed invalid. Mo Hua drew the Minghuo Formation again, and then altered the gathering spirit formation pattern as the formation eye, and the Minghuo Formation was also invalid.
"This is what is called, 'damaging the array medium and destroying the array eye is called breaking the array'..."
"This method is... simple and crude. Even if you don't understand the array, you can still break the array... Well, if you don't understand the array, you can only use this method to forcibly break the array."
"Then what is the array eye and array medium of the mystery array in my sea of consciousness?"
"The spiritual power in the array is provided by the array eye, so the qi sea is the array eye, and the mystery array is stored in the sea of consciousness, so the sea of consciousness is the array medium? If you want to break the array, then..."
"Destroy your qi sea and then destroy your own sea of consciousness?!"
Mo Hua broke out in a cold sweat.
"Forget it..."
Breaking the array is too simple and crude, lacking the cultivation of an array master, and cannot reflect the level of an array master.
Mo Hua abandoned his distracting thoughts and drew the Minghuo array again, and then drew a water array pattern in the position of one of the fire array patterns.
After the array pattern was drawn, the Minghuo array did not fail, but the luster of the array was dimmed a little.
The formation was resolved, but not completely.
Mo Hua drew a water formation pattern next to another formation pattern, and the light on the bright fire formation disappeared instantly, and the entire formation was destroyed.
"It's resolved!"
Mo Hua was a little excited. Then he thought again: "To resolve the fire formation pattern, you need to resolve two patterns. Then, to resolve the spirit gathering formation pattern as the core of the formation, is it enough to resolve one pattern?"
"The five elements formation pattern can be resolved by the mutual generation and restraint between the five elements formation patterns. What kind of formation pattern should be used to resolve the spirit gathering formation pattern? The formation pattern used for gathering spirits should not have a mutual generation and restraint relationship..."
Mo Hua began to search in the formation book given to him by Mr. Zhuang, and finally found a page with annotated methods for resolving the spirit gathering formation pattern.
Mo Hua read it carefully word by word, and then he had some understanding.
The spirit gathering formation pattern does have a mutual generation and restraint formation pattern - the reverse spirit formation pattern.
The Gathering Spirit Array gathers the spiritual power, while the Reverse Spirit Array makes the spiritual power disperse in the reverse direction. Gathering and dispersing are naturally in line with the principle of life and death. But Mo Hua has never learned the Reverse Spirit Array. After searching the relevant classics, there is no picture of the Reverse Spirit Array, only some written records.
The records say that the Reverse Spirit Array is a profound array pattern, which is mostly inherited by the aristocratic clans who are good at array formations and is not easily passed on to others.
Profound array patterns are difficult to learn and cannot be learned.
Mo Hua will not consider it for the time being.
In addition, there is another way, which is to use the Gathering Spirit Array to dissolve the Gathering Spirit Array. You only need to draw another Gathering Spirit Array near the Gathering Spirit Array, and use this Gathering Spirit Array to absorb the spiritual power of the Gathering Spirit Array as the array eye, so that the array eye loses power, which is naturally equivalent to dissolving the array.
Mo Hua was amazed. Using the Gathering Spirit Array to dissolve the Gathering Spirit Array was something he had never thought of before.
However, it is also said later that this method will also have problems. The spirit gathering array used to solve the array is prone to accumulate too much spiritual power and cannot be released, causing the array to go out of control and produce unpredictable dangers.
And if Mo Hua is right, the array eye of the mystery array in the sea of consciousness is actually his own sea of qi. Whether it is to use another sea of qi to absorb the sea of qi, or to carve a reverse spirit array in the sea of qi to make the spiritual power escape, it sounds like a way to seek death.
Moreover, these methods are simply impossible.
In other words, the array cannot be solved by removing the array eye at present.
Mo Hua held his little cheek and thought:
"Then I can only learn to solve the array pattern one by one. As expected, the method without shortcuts is the only shortcut in the end. The cultivation world has been developing for tens of thousands of years, and there are not many loopholes to exploit."
Mo Hua drew another bright fire array, and then solved it completely. Suddenly, he realized that his solution was too wasteful of paper and ink. He drew it again and solved it again. If he solved it wrong, he had to draw it again. It consumed more paper and ink than practicing the array by himself.
The problem of spirit stones is still very serious. Although the family situation has improved due to the income from the restaurant, the spirit stones for general expenses are not particularly scarce, but they can be saved. There are many places to use spirit stones in the future.
"The Dao tablet in the sea of consciousness should be just right for practicing solving arrays..."
Thinking of this, Mo Hua sank his consciousness into the sea of consciousness.
In the vast and empty sea of consciousness, the puzzle array woven by the spiritual power threads is still there. The Dao tablet is also in the sea of consciousness, and it seems not to be affected by the spiritual power threads.
Mo Hua was familiar with the process. He drew a bright fire array on the Taoist stele and tried to solve it. After solving it, the bright fire array dimmed.
Mo Hua erased the array pattern and the array pattern of the array solution, and the consumed spiritual consciousness was restored.
"Sure enough!"
Mo Hua was overjoyed. This Taoist stele was not only suitable for practicing array formations, but also for practicing array solution.
After drawing and then erasing, the spiritual consciousness would be restored, which meant that the spiritual consciousness was not consumed, and paper and ink were not wasted.
Mo Hua concentrated on practicing the array solution in the sea of consciousness, and did not exit from the sea of consciousness until the hour of Yin. He closed his eyes and meditated for an hour, and then he became energetic.
Mo Shan and Liu Ruhua also got up early. Mo Shan was going to the Black Mountain to hunt monsters, and Liu Ruhua was going to prepare for the restaurant business.
After Mo Hua finished a simple, delicious and warm breakfast, he carried the food box and went to Mr. Zhuang.
Thank you for your tips~(=^_^=)
