Chapter 148: Learning the Formation
Flower Charm Building, 7th floor.
Sister Peony, I want you to teach me the formation! Jiang Zhen said.
Yes! Peony bowed his head and agreed quickly.
What do you want me to do? Jiang Zhen asked tentatively.
I want you to bring a message to your mother! Peony said slightly.
Hearing this, Jiang Zhen's right eyelid jumped, and he suddenly had a bad premonition, and asked, "What words?"
Slut, your son is not worthy of me! Peony propped up the table with both hands, approached Jiang Zhen, and roared.
Jiang Zhen: "...... ”
Jiang Zhen was sprayed with saliva, and his ears were also shocked to the point that his ears were ringing for a long time.
The woman roared, much more powerful than the man!
Sure enough, as soon as I said it, I knew that it wasn't a good thing to say, because Jiang Feng also asked him to bring words before, saying: 'Slut, you are not worthy of my son!'
I said, "What's the matter with you?" I'm my mother and her son, and you let me bring this kind of thing to her, do you think I'm stupid, or do you think I'm stupid?
Would I probably bring that to her?
Also, what do you mean by that? Do you mean that I am not worthy of you?
I'm Jiang Zhen, extremely talented, a beautiful boy, not worthy of you?
Okay, when I see her later, I'll be sure to bring you a message. Jiang Zhen responded to Peony.
And so, very well. Peony stood up and said, "Stand up, I'll teach you how to set up the formation." ”
Peony walked to the window, opened it, looked at the sky, and said, "Jiang Zhen, how much do you know about the formation?"
Jiang Zhen pondered for a while, and said: "I know a little bit about the skin, what is the heavenly potential, terrain, human potential, as well as array flags, array maps, inscriptions, rune pens, spirit stones, I have all understood these basic formation knowledge." ”
After listening to Jiang Zhen's words, Peony nodded, and said very pleased: "Mmmm, it seems that you still know a little bit about formations, which is very good, so it won't be too troublesome for me to teach you." ”
In fact, the heavenly power and terrain are like the naturally formed formations, which are the most terrifying natural formations, and it is difficult for people to control, and the human power is an artificial formation that gathers manpower, or the power of faith and willingness, which is similar to the power of thought, is too difficult to collect and condense people's ideas. ”
And we commonly say that the arrangement of the formation, in fact, is the formation of the mage artificially arranged by the personal self-formed formation, is created by the formation flag, the formation map, the inscription, the rune pen, the spirit stone, there are strong and weak, there are many usages, there are many categories, roughly divided into attack, defense formation. ”
I can only tell you about the concepts of heavenly potential, terrain, and human potential, but I can't teach you to borrow them, because I can't borrow those three potentials, and then I'll teach you to arrange some simple formations, even if it's over, as for the really powerful formations, you need to rely on yourself to explore, because I can't. ”
"The master leads the way to practice by the individual, understand?
Jiang Zhen nodded, and understood what Peony said very well, the heavenly potential, the terrain and the human potential, these three potentials are too difficult to borrow, and they are not something that ordinary formation mages can control, and most formation mages can only roughly understand the theoretical knowledge in them.
Beginners in formation, generally start with the basic formation method, and then gradually increase the difficulty, without the guidance of a famous teacher, you can only explore how to construct a formation by yourself is the simplest, labor-saving, and fast.
As the saying goes, a famous teacher is a high apprentice, and a poor master leads into the door.
Jiang Zhen, what do you think of the sky and the terrain? Peony pointed to the sky, his gaze a little ethereal.
The sky, the terrain, it may also be man-made~ Jiang Zhen thought for a while and replied.
Tell me what you think. Peony motioned to Jiang Zhen to speak more carefully.
Jiang Zhen paused and continued: "Hmm...... As you said just now, the sky and the terrain are natural formations, and the sun, moon and stars circulate and have their own orbits, which are too orderly, and we call these the laws of heaven and earth, just like our formation inscriptions, which stipulate how the formation operates. ”
We can artificially create a small formation world by relying on array flags, array diagrams, inscriptions, rune pens, and spirit stones, which is very similar to the normal world, in this case, is it conceivable that our world is also a huge formation, operating according to the inscriptions engraved by some existence?
Well, you have some truth to that, but you're inferring the origin from the results. "Peony Road," Our formation is created by imitating the nature of heaven and earth, the array flag represents the world boundary, the array represents the shape of the world, the inscription represents the world operating rules, the rune pen represents the change of the world rules, and the spirit stone represents the energy of the world. ”
You can't speculate that the formation is created by man, but you can speculate that the heaven and the earth are naturally created by 'man', because the formation is a natural imitation of the heaven and the earth, understand?
Jiang Zhen was a little confused when he heard it, and vaguely understood the meaning of Peony's words, but it was very vague, as if he understood it or not, and it was chaotic.
Looking at Jiang Zhen's expression, Peony smiled and continued to explain: "To put it more bluntly, you imitate others, and then you maliciously speculate, and others may also imitate others, and he himself is not original, so do you understand?"
I seem to understand a little bit of that. Jiang Zhen woke up and said, the formation mage borrowed from heaven and earth to create a formation, but this does not mean that heaven and earth were also created by others, it may be innate.
However, it is also possible that it was created by 'people', which Peony did not deny, but only said that Jiang Zhen's assertion did not have sufficient conditions.
You can see that you still have doubts, so let me ask you a question, first the chicken or the first egg? Peony continued to guide Jiang Zhendao.
Jiang Zhen shook his head and said, "I don't know, the two seem to be interdependent, there are no chickens, there are no eggs, and if there are no eggs, there are no chickens." ”
It's hard to say who came first and who came last, and it is not clear what to say. ”
In the case of a single individual, there are eggs and then chickens, and a chicken slowly hatches into a chicken from the egg. ”
As far as a population is concerned, chickens and eggs have always existed, and there is no precedence relationship, but only a link in the continuation of the population. ”
But looking at the world as a whole, perhaps a certain population evolved or mutated, produced the first egg, and then hatched into chickens, giving rise to a new species, chickens, which means that there were eggs and then chickens. ”
Jiang Zhen said a lot in one breath, and his thoughts were a little complicated and chaotic, and there was no final result.
Now, got it? Peony looked directly into Jiang Zhen's eyes and asked, "The question of chicken or egg, although interesting, is actually meaningless. ”
You can't explain it, and you can't explain it. ”
In the same way, whether this world is naturally generated or artificially created, we do not understand, and all ideas are just speculation. ”
We are still too weak, for many things, as long as we learn to use them, we can use them, don't delve too deeply, those profound questions, when you reach a certain level, will naturally be clear. ”
If one day you can transcend heaven and earth, you may be able to understand how heaven and earth came into being. ”
Jiang Zhen nodded, getting rid of all the cluttered thoughts in his mind, at the moment, he just needs to become stronger!
Okay, moving on to the next question, what do you think about human power? "Peony Road.
Jiang Zhen organized the language for a moment and said, "Human power, I think it is a kind of group concerted effort, which brings together the strength of most people to form a joint force to bombard and kill the enemy. ”
My cousin Jiang Kaiyu is an inner disciple of Nianmen, I fought with him twice, he collected the power of faith of 10,000 people, formed his own willpower, his wish power is difficult to break, as if he has spiritual wisdom, he will automatically protect the master, and at the same time the attack power is also very strong, the more faith, the stronger the will. ”
Well, about human power, you can understand it here, you can think of it as the power of the mind, because the mind is to collect the power of people's faith, and gather the power of the majority into the minority of them. Peony looked at Jiang Zhendao with satisfaction, this kid is not bad, she reminded him earlier, and he can think for himself.
Jiang Zhen nodded, waiting for Peony to really teach him how to lay out the formation.
Next, you carefully watch me set up a small hiding formation. Peony looked at Jiang Zhen and said solemnly, "I'll only demonstrate it once, you have to watch it with full attention." ”
Okay~ "Jiang Zhen said.
Peony shook her head, stretched out her hand, and suddenly ten array flags, a lower grade spirit stone, and a rune pen floated in front of her, and then the array flag was lined up in the shape of a five-pointed star on the ground under the control of the peony's soul power, and the lower grade spirit stone fell into the middle, and the peony was holding the talisman pen, connecting the array flags together, and inscribed a five-pointed star inscription in the middle.
Jiang Zhen, you can see others, why? Peony asked.
Jiang Zhen frowned, began to think about this question, and replied: "Is it because of the light? You can see people during the day, but you can't see them at night." ”
This answer is also correct, but it is not specific enough. "Peony Dao," The reason why a person is seen is because he blocks the light, and the light refracts his outline, you can understand that, right?
Jiang Zhen thought about it, nodded and said, "Yes~"
So how about an object that a person blocks the light can be invisible? Peony guided.
If you don't block the light, you're invisible. Jiang Zhen said.
Jiang Zhen thought for a while and asked, "It's just, how can you not block the light?"
Let the light go around, or just let the light penetrate your body without turning back, and that's it. Peony Road.
After speaking, the talisman pen in his hand finished outlining the last inscription, and then he saw a flash of white light, and the array flag and spirit stone all disappeared.
"Whoosh~ "
Peony stretched out her hand and beckoned a teacup and put it in the place inside the array flag just now, only to see her hand gradually disappearing, and the teacup gradually disappeared, and her hand could still be seen outside the array flag.
Look carefully~ "Peony reminded, and immediately pulled out the spirit stone, only to see that the light gradually shone on the array flag and teacup, and then she put the spirit stone back, and the teacup and array flag also disappeared, in the middle of the process, on the surface, the light was distorted, and it was not reflected back, but along the periphery of the array flag, and continued to move forward.
But in fact, the light is still direct, just the space around the flag...... Distorted, the light follows the distorted space, and continues to shine directly.
The concealment formation is to distort the surrounding space, so that the light goes around the object along the distorted space, isn't it? Jiang Zhen asked.
That's right! Peony smiled, "The head is quite flexible, yes, yes!"
Jiang Zhen smiled and said nothing, without pride.
Okay, now that you understand the principle, I'll talk to you about the actual operation. Peony Road.
The spirit stone is the energy source of the formation, and in the absence of external force to destroy the formation, how long the formation can last depends on how long it can be supplied. Spirit stones are divided into lower grade, middle grade, upper grade, best grade, and god level, and the higher the spirit stone, the longer the support time. ”
If you want to arrange the formation, you first need to buy spirit stones, a low-grade spirit stone will cost about 10,000 gold coins, a medium-grade spirit stone will cost 100,000, a high-grade spirit stone will be 1 million, and the best spirit stone will be 10 million. ”
"God-grade spirit stone, 100 million gold coins? Jiang Zhen's throat rolled and he asked in surprise.
Peony glanced at Jiang Zhen and said, "What do you want? High-grade and top-grade spirit stones are already priceless, god-level spirit stones, only gods have them, buy them, don't even think about it, that thing can't be bought." ”
Jiang Zhen's face was full of black lines, and he had nothing to say.
By the way, how did the spirit stone come from? Is it an ore? Jiang Zhen asked.
Peony bowed his head and introduced: "It's a kind of ore, but it's all in some famous mountains and rivers, because those places are rich in heaven and earth, so that spirit stones can be bred in the mountains, but you know, those places are mostly powerful monsters and demon beasts, and it is difficult for us humans to mine spirit stones." ”
Therefore, there are very few spirit stones in our human world, and ordinary towns can't see them at all, Wujia Town is one of them, and those demonic beasts and demon beasts have too many spirit stones to be used up, but among them, only some demonic beasts and demon beasts with strong soul talents can become array mages and use spirit stones, most of them just use spirit stones as decorations and play with them. ”
The classification of spirit stones, mainly according to the amount and quality of the aura contained in them to distinguish, the lower grade spirit stone in the aura is less, more impurities, and the god level, the aura is rich, high purity, and the god level spirit stone also has a very important characteristic, that is, it contains evil qi, and if it is carried on the body for a long time, it will affect a person's sanity, and even make people fall into madness. ”
Why is that? Jiang Zhen was puzzled, "God-level spirit stones, with sufficient aura, aren't people full of energy when they carry it?"
I don't know, the kind of evil aura of the god-level spirit stone is said to be able to be suppressed only by a god, and the reason why the god-level spirit stone is called a god-level spirit stone is for this reason. ”
Alright! Jiang Zhen accepted, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "By the way, Sister Peony, can we martial artists also absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stone to cultivate?"
Of course you can, otherwise why do you think that those gods, goddesses, and young people of big families cultivate so much faster than you small town warriors, it's not because they cultivate by absorbing the spiritual energy in the spirit stone, and the spiritual energy is abundant and endless, unlike you, who need to extract the discrete spiritual energy between heaven and earth, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Peony sneered.
The strong are all piled up with resources, and there are very few people who are truly talented, you know?
The world is cruel, the strong occupy more resources and become stronger, and the weak are weaker and weaker. ”
Jiang Zhen agreed with what Peony said, and Bai Ying once told him that the strong need the guidance of a famous teacher and the assistance of a natural treasure, otherwise he can only quickly cultivate to the Zhou Tian Realm by relying on his own talent alone, and then the cultivation speed will be slow.
Okay, that's all the Lingshi talks about, now let's talk about the array flag. "Peony Dao," the formation flag, on the one hand, determines the boundary of the formation, and on the other hand, guides the flow of spiritual energy, so that the effectiveness of the inscription can be maximized. ”
The position of each formation flag is different, the boundaries are different, and the direction of the aura flow is also different, and their positions need to change according to the inscription you inscribe. ”
The offensive formation has a large boundary, the spiritual qi rotation speed is fast, and the direction is also striving to be all-round, and the number of formation flags required is more. ”
The formation flag itself also has a difference in size, and the shape of the flag is also different, in short, the deep meaning of it needs to be carefully experienced when you arrange the formation in your daily life. ”
I see, I'll learn more slowly as I practice. Jiang Zhendao understands the meaning of Peony's words very well, many things need to be practiced by yourself, otherwise I don't know what it is for, why it is designed like that.
Uh-huh, just get it. Peony smiled, very satisfied with Jiang Zhen's attitude.
The third is the inscription, which is the core knowledge of the formation, and the reason why the formation has various functions is because of the inscription. Peony became serious and said, "What I drew with a rune just now is a kind of rune that distorts space, which can allow light to go around and hide objects, so this formation is also hidden in the array. ”
The inscriptions have been handed down by countless generations of formation mages, and they are their life's work, and most of the formation inscriptions can be found in the formation association, and you are free to learn from them. ”
Of course, there are also many inscriptions that have not been handed down, or only circulated within the family, and outsiders simply do not know how to draw such inscriptions. ”
Most of the terrifying inscriptions are in the top formation families, but the Formation Association has also collected a lot of powerful inscriptions, and it is not bad compared to them, after all, the Formation Association has the most talents, and it almost gathers the formation mages of the entire Chaoxi Continent. ”
"Sister Peony, are you also a member of the Formation Association? Jiang Zhen asked.
That's right, I'm from the Water God City Formation Association. "Peony Dao," Each Divine City has a Formation Association, and in the middle of the Chaoxi Continent, there is the Formation Association of the Ten Thousand Gods City, where the real Formation Association is, and where the stars shine. ”
Speaking of this, Peony's face showed hope, and it could be seen that she really wanted to go there to see it.
After a long time, Peony came back to his senses from the beauty of that imagination and said, "Okay, without further ado, I'll teach you to draw the inscription of this hiding array." ”
Isn't there still a formation diagram that hasn't been taught? Jiang Zhen said in confusion.
"Formation? Peony was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "The formation diagram is too advanced, it is a miniature version of the world, and you can't touch it for the time being, so I won't talk about it." ”
Let's talk about it! Jiang Zhen said.
", I haven't seen the formation diagram yet, and I'll tell you about the formation diagram, how can I talk about it? Peony suddenly roared.
Jiang Zhen: "...... ”
I don't ask, I don't ask.
Woman, get angry, it's terrifying!
"Well, this is a talisman pen for you, you draw an inscription with me. Peony gave Jiang Zhen a talisman and said.
Good! Jiang Zhen said resignedly.
