Chapter 66 Thousand Formations
When Mo Hua arrived at Mr. Zhuang's mountain residence, the Bai siblings had already arrived and were reading and practicing at a small stone table under a tree by the pond. Aunt Xue usually did not enter the mountain residence, but waited outside the door.
When Bai Zisheng saw Mo Hua, he dropped the book in his hand and ran over excitedly.
Mo Hua handed him a small food box and a small pot of fruit wine, "You can eat later, you just finished breakfast now."
Bai Zisheng stuffed meat in his mouth and looked satisfied: "It's okay, I told Aunt Xue that I didn't have a good appetite, so I didn't eat much in the morning."
Mo Hua shook his head and handed the snacks and osmanthus wine to Bai Zixi. Bai Zixi thanked him in a clear and pleasant voice, then ate the snacks and sipped the wine in small bites, with an elegant and dignified posture.
Mo Hua looked at Bai Zisheng, then at Bai Zixi, thinking that although they were both brothers and sisters, the difference in their eating habits was too big.
Bai Zisheng had previously pretended to behave like a disciple of an aristocratic family, but after getting familiar with Mo Hua, he no longer cared about his manners. Now, he was eating like a puppy, which was a waste of his handsome appearance.
Mo Hua gave some wine and food to Mr. Zhuang and Master Kui, and then began to ask about solving the formation.
Mo Hua had already asked Bai Zisheng some simple questions, and the rest were more difficult and difficult, and he couldn't figure it out with his own knowledge of cultivation.
For example, how to solve the formation by relying on the formation eye and formation hub, what is the basic principle of solving the formation, how to solve some formations when you don't understand them, etc.
Mr. Zhuang was quite satisfied with the questions Mo Hua asked: "You can ask these questions, which means that you have carefully read the classics given to you."
"It is very difficult to solve the formation through the formation eye. The reverse spirit formation pattern is difficult to learn and even more difficult to master. Moreover, they are all secrets of the family and will not be easily passed on. Even if you learn it, it is difficult to use it. Because the spirit gathering formation patterns of different formations are different, the actual use of the reverse spirit formation must be adapted to the formation, and it is difficult to grasp the degree. And using the spirit gathering formation pattern to solve it is very easy to make the formation's spiritual power out of control, which will not only destroy the formation, but also easily hurt the lives of the cultivators. . "
"You don't have to consider using the array core to solve the array, at least for array masters below the third rank. Using the array core to solve the array requires a very deep array foundation, and at the same time, you have to study the array structure of each family, sect or school. Otherwise, you will have no idea where to start when facing an array system that you have never been involved in. "
"So for you, you only need to think about using the array pattern to solve the array. Using the array pattern to solve the array may seem complicated, but it is the most basic and simplest method. "
"Oh oh." Mo Hua nodded repeatedly.
"Mo Hua, do you think that the most important thing for an array master to study arrays is to be specialized or to be versatile?" Mr. Zhuang suddenly asked.
"Isn't it best to be versatile and yet be able to master it..." Mo Hua replied weakly.
The choice of a mature cultivator is to have both.
Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "The road is boundless, but my life is limited. It is impossible to have a wide range of knowledge and be proficient in everything. Generally, formation masters will make some choices. They either specialize in one formation and seek perfection rather than completeness, or they are knowledgeable and seek completeness rather than excellence."
"In that case, it is definitely better to specialize in one type of formation." Mo Hua said.
"Why?" Mr. Zhuang asked with interest.
"The formation is profound and extensive. If you blindly seek perfection, you can only learn the basics in the end. And if you specialize in one type, you can learn by analogy. In this way, you can learn the true meaning of the formation, and you will not be at a loss when you encounter a profound and obscure formation later..."
Mr. Zhuang nodded, "That's right, so the formations inherited by the aristocratic families are all about precision and avoid complexity."
Mo Hua understood a little, but still didn't quite understand what this had to do with him.
"In fact, not only the aristocratic families, all the orthodox array inheritances are all about specialization, not seeking to be versatile. First learn one type of array thoroughly, and then study other arrays." Mr. Zhuang paused for a moment, looked at Mo Hua and said:
"But you are different. You need to learn a variety of arrays now, and you can't specialize in one type."
Mo Hua was slightly stunned and thought: "Is it because of the practice?"
Mr. Zhuang showed approval, "Yes, you have learned the "Tian Yan Jue". When you break through the realm, you need to solve the mystery. Only by solving the mystery can you practice the practice, increase your cultivation, and improve your realm. If you can't solve the mystery, you have no foundation, and everything you do as a cultivator is just empty talk."
"And solving the mystery requires you to learn enough array patterns and master enough arrays. Many mystery arrays are actually not difficult. It just depends on whether you know the relevant array patterns and array methods. If you know, it is easy to solve the array, but if you don't, no matter how high your array talent is or how proficient you are in array methods, it will be useless. "
"As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice. A puzzle array that you have never come into contact with, no matter how advanced the array master is, will not be able to start."
Mo Hua suddenly realized, and then scratched his head and asked, "Then sir, what should I do?"
Mr. Zhuang handed Mo Hua a book, and there were four ancient characters on the page of the book:
"Thousands of Arrays"
Mo Hua opened it and found that the book was densely packed with records of all kinds of strange array methods. These array methods were all below the first grade, and most of the array patterns were within nine, and there were also a few that contained nine array patterns.
Most of them were five-element arrays, and there were also some arrays with strange functions that Mo Hua had never seen before.
Mo Hua opened his mouth wide: "This is..."
"This is a collection of formations below the first grade, which records the names, grades, uses and other matters of the formations. You can read it by yourself. If you want to learn something, go to the first floor of the library to find the corresponding formation diagram."
"I have taught you the basics of the formation. You can learn it by yourself. If you don't understand, come and ask me. But there is one thing, remember to return the formation diagrams you have read, and don't lose them. Remember this."
Mr. Zhuang instructed.
"Student remembers." Mo Hua nodded solemnly.
"Okay, go." Mr. Zhuang waved his hand.
Mo Hua solemnly saluted Mr. Zhuang again, and put the "Thousand Formations Collection" in his arms with great care. When he stood up and prepared to leave, he was stopped by Mr. Zhuang again.
"Mo Hua," Mr. Zhuang hesitated for a moment, and said:
"I should have chosen a more reliable method for you, at least you wouldn't have to go through so much trouble when practicing... This is my negligence."
Kui Lao, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and looked at Mr. Zhuang with a little surprise.
Mo Hua was stunned, then smiled shyly and said to Mr. Zhuang:
"My family is ordinary, and I don't have enough spiritual stones. This method does not require spiritual objects to break through, and it doesn't use many spiritual stones. It is perfect for me. At least in my eyes, the method you chose is already the best method in the world."
"Really..."
Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua's young and handsome face, a pair of clear and sincere eyes with distinct black and white, and couldn't help but smile. His expression returned to his previous free and easy expression, but his voice became more gentle:
"Go and learn the formation."
Mo Hua saluted obediently, then ran away with his calves.
