Chapter 18: Formations
But he didn't know that 10 minutes after he left the hotel, Zhao Yuxin actually returned to the hotel, she came here just to ask Xie Yan a question. But when she opened the door, she was greeted by a little blood like plum blossoms on the white sheets.
At this time, Xie Yan had already taken the high-speed train to ES.
After he checked the itinerary of the train, he found that it would take more than 9 hours to arrive. So he took advantage of this time to look through the formation chapter in the Maoshan spell in his mind, because he found that sometimes the formation can avoid some trouble.
For example, when he was invaded by the demon just now, if he had arranged a formation such as clearing the heart and calming the mind to protect himself, then he wouldn't have to break through so hard.
However, when he flipped through the Maoshan spells in his mind, he found that the formations recorded in them were all formations for subduing demons and eliminating demons, such as the Liangyi Bagua Array, the Four Elephant Array, the Five Elements Array, the Liuhe Array, the Big Dipper Seven Star Array, the Nine Palace Bagua Array, etc., all of which were first-class attack-type formations, and even the Maoshan Secret Technique given to him by Uncle Nine recorded similar formations, and this kind of formation was obviously not as useful in the real world as the auxiliary formation.
"It's amazing that my brother really strictly implements the five-word strategic policy of 'just finished'. Xie Yan had to admire. But then he became distressed again, because sometimes the formation can really have an incredible effect, besides, the skills are not pressing, and the chance of saving one's life with one more skill is greater.
"Yes, the system, help me screen the formation knowledge that is suitable for me to learn. Xie Yan's eyes lit up, and he just wanted to open his mouth to speak, but he thought that he was on the high-speed train, and if he talked to himself, he might have to let the police take him away, so he had to say to the system in his heart.
"Okay, host!" It didn't take a few seconds for the system to filter out the information Xie Yan needed.
"Detailed explanation of the basic formation: It is written by several formation masters, which records the basic principles of the formation and the perception of the formation masters on the way of formation, and is a rare formation enlightenment textbook for beginners.
Redemption Points: 1000 points. ”
"System, it's just a basic formation book, it's not so expensive, you must know that my second turn is only 1,000 survival points!" Xie Yan complained.
"Because the way of the formation is the path of the three thousand avenues, after contemplating enlightenment, there is a certain improvement in one's own state of mind cultivation and comprehension. The formations recorded in this book are the basis of all high-level formations, and many high-level formations have evolved from them, and they also record the comprehension of several formation masters for the formations, so they are of high value. The system explained.
"Okay, let's exchange it!" Xie Yan resigned.
As soon as the words fell, Xie Yan felt a huge ocean of knowledge rushing towards him, instantly drowning him! A sharp pain came from the depths of his mind, and he could only grit his teeth fiercely to prevent himself from making a sound, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. It's a pity that the seat is not full at this time, otherwise, with Xie Yan now sweating profusely and his muscles bursting out, he has already been discovered by the passengers next to him.
Fortunately, both his mana and his state of mind have improved by a notch now, so as time passed, Xie Yan slowly adapted.
"Whew... MMP! system, you are really ruthless!" Xie Yan had a sentence of MMP in his heart, and he squirted out directly without hesitation. But in the next second, I was attracted by the content recorded in the basic formation.
What is a formation? To put it bluntly, it is an energy conversion line!
The energy that could only be used for attack, defense, and healing is converted into other types of energy through a certain "line", so as to achieve different utilities - this is the formation.
Formations are divided into 12 categories according to their effectiveness: reconnaissance, recording, attack, defense, medical treatment, mobility, stealth, psychedelic, logistics, storage, communication, and contract.
And the book also records some very practical formations, such as the spirit gathering array that restores aura, the confusion array that confuses people's minds, the maze array used by trapped people, and the flying array used to escape, etc., all of which are very practical formations.
"It's a bit difficult, this formation needs to be understood first before it can be formed with a wave of the hand. Fortunately, there is a record in the book of the theoretical explanation of the formation and the comprehension of several predecessors in the formation, otherwise even if the arrangement is successful, the effect is not one in ten, and I thought that I could be like the protagonist in the movie, and I could casually arrange a set of earth-shattering and weeping ghosts and gods. Xie Yan, who carefully looked at the first half, sighed sincerely.
"It seems that I'd better not be too ambitious, let's honestly start with theoretical knowledge first. After speaking, he turned to the second half of the detailed explanation of the formation, starting from the page that explained the basics.
Before you know it, it's already full of people. And coincidentally, sitting next to Xie Yan is a beautiful woman who looks like a woman, she has a pair of clear and bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes trembling slightly, fair and flawless skin revealing a faint red powder, and thin lips are delicate like rose petals.
Maybe she was used to seeing the men around her who were courting and showing favor to her, and suddenly seeing a man who was indifferent to her made her secretly angry and curious.
Moreover, after practicing the Taoist technique Xie Yan, although the appearance of the whole person has not changed much, the temperament has changed dramatically.
After all, Taoism pays attention to quiet and inaction, and Taoism is natural, so in Xie Yan's body, it naturally exudes a trace of ethereal atmosphere, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. If it had been before, the girl sitting next to him wouldn't have looked at him.
Xie Yan, who was immersed in the ocean of knowledge of the formation path, didn't notice that someone next to him had already become interested in him.
In this way, the train has been running for 5 hours, and during this time, the girl glanced at Xie Yan from time to time to see if he used this trick to attract her attention, although she said that it had succeeded, but she still wanted to confirm it, and regarded it as her last struggle. It's a pity that the girl was disappointed, Xie Yan didn't open her eyes from beginning to end.
Just as the girl was hesitating to find an excuse to say hello, Xie Yan suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash of golden light disappeared, and the girl who had been paying attention to him was startled and stammered: "You... Why do you have a golden glow in your eyes!?"
Xie Yan was taken aback by this voice, and anyone who suddenly screamed from the side would also be frightened, but fortunately, his reaction was fast, and he dispersed the mana that had gathered in his hand in time.
And the girl also obviously felt that the eyes of the passengers around her were glancing at her, and she was also annoyed that she was not productive, maybe she was wrong.
"Maybe it's the reflection of the lights. She thought to herself.
Xie Yan also heard what the girl said, and knew that he had just gained something from his comprehension formation, and the mana was running rapidly in an instant, causing it to overflow, and thus his eyes had a vision. But at this point, whether the girl next to him believed it or not, he explained: "I'm sorry, I scared you, I guess it's the visual error caused by the lights on the train shaking my eyes." ”
"Believe it or not, I believe it anyway. Xie Yan silently added in his heart.
"I'm sorry, I made too much of a fuss, I'm sorry. The girl said apologetically, but she still had doubts in her heart. After all, the lights on the train were white, and Xie Yan's eyes were golden.
Seeing that the girl was still puzzled and saw herself, Xie Yan suddenly felt bad, and quickly changed the topic: "My name is Xie Yan, how do I call you?"
"My name is Li Shuran. After Li Shuran finished speaking, the two fell silent again. One was embarrassed to continue the conversation because of a misunderstanding, and the other didn't know how to take the initiative to communicate with the girl, and the air suddenly became quiet.
"Huh?" At this moment, Xie Yan faintly felt a strange aura around him, very faint. If it weren't for the fact that he had just comprehended the formation, his mind had improved a little, and he might not have felt it.
I saw Xie Yan take advantage of Li Shuran's lack of attention, pinched the trick with both hands, and then wiped it on his eyes, and a golden light suddenly lit up, and then disappeared in his eyes. Then Xie Yan pretended to glance left and right inadvertently, and as soon as he turned his head to Li Shuran, his eyes flashed with golden light, and he saw a steady stream of strange aura emerging from a man and a woman sitting in the front and back rows of her.
And at this time, Li Shuran also wanted to ask why Xie Yan's eyes were glowing with gold, after all, she was not stupid, she just didn't react for a while. But when she just turned her head, what she saw was Xie Yan's golden eyes. Suddenly, her mouth was wide open, and she was about to scream in the next second.
said that it was too late, but I saw Xie Yan quickly cover her mouth with his hand, and then a trace of mana gathered in his hand to cover her mouth, and instantly dissolved the scream into invisibility. Luckily they sat in two rows, otherwise someone would have shouted to kill the scoundrel.
"Don't scream!" blink three times if you agree, and I'll take my hand away. Xie Yan whispered.
I saw Li Shuran looking at him pitifully, tears were rolling in his eyes, and when he heard Xie Yan's words, he hurriedly blinked three times, and with the blink, tears also dripped down his face and onto Xie Yan's hands.
Xie Yan was also quite embarrassed and made a girl cry. After thinking about it, he still took out the tried-and-true transfer method: "Don't cry first, I have a very important thing to tell you." If you want to know about your safety, don't cry. ”
Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, Li Shuran's face immediately changed, and she immediately stopped crying, just a pair of big eyes that could speak, staring straight at Xie Yan.
"Ahem, that's right... Huh?" Xie Yan was just about to explain to him, but suddenly found that the man sitting in the front row deliberately pretended to be asleep after hearing Xie Yan's words, and deliberately adjusted the back of the seat to get as close to the two as possible.
"Hmph, want to eavesdrop, carving insect skills, dare to get an axe!" Xie Yan secretly sneered in his heart.
After letting go of the hand covering his mouth, he closed his hands, and then pushed outward, and suddenly, a faint golden light flashed, surrounding him and Li Shuran, and then slowly melted into the air.
This is not a spell, but a purely mana to forcibly block the transmission of sound. It's easy to cast, but it requires a constant drain of mana and is easy to spot, but it's enough to deal with the current situation.
It's just that Li Shuran, who was shrouded in golden light, was frightened, and seeing Xie Yan take his hand away, he quickly closed his eyes and screamed loudly.
"Ah!!" But after screaming for a long time, she felt that something was wrong, "It's strange, after screaming for so long, so no one around has reacted? Are they all deaf?" Li Shuran muttered to herself.
I saw her quietly open her eyes and find Xie Yanzheng looking at her with a wicked smile on the corner of her mouth.
Just as she wanted to scream again, she heard the man in front of her say a classic line that was widely circulated.
"Don't scream, it's useless for you to cut your throat. ”
