Chapter 1130: Giving Advice

"Senior brother, what do you mean......" Zhong Yue didn't react for a while, and asked with some puzzlement.
Fang Yang smiled bitterly and said:
"Senior Brother Zhong, I want to ...... In case the elders of these families don't agree with me being with them, I hope you can come forward and say good things for me......"
"I'll step in...... Will it work? Zhong Yue asked with some uncertainty.
Although Zhong Yue lived for two or three hundred years, he didn't care about the world all the year round, and lived an isolated life most of the time, so he was indeed inferior to Fang Yang, who was in his twenties, in terms of human sophistication.
"It will work!" Fang Yang hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Zhong, I believe that as long as you open your mouth, no family will dare not give face!" ”
This is not a joke, Zhong Yue's identity is too detached, and its importance to the country is self-evident. Moreover, there is hardly any of the older generation of revolutionaries who are still alive who have not accepted Zhong Yue's favor, but directly or indirectly.
There are even several people who were pulled back from the death line by Zhong Yue back then, if Zhong Yue hadn't made a timely move, they would have died under the bayonets of the devils of the Japanese country. Zhong Yue can be said to be kind to them.
Even if he feels uncomfortable in his heart, as long as Zhong Yue opens this mouth, that face will definitely be given. Moreover, in these big families, the idea of patriarchy is still quite strict, and the status of girls is still a bit low in the end, and no one will refute Zhong Yue's face for the sake of a woman in the family.
In fact, Fang Yang's cultivation is even stronger than Zhong Yue's back then, and in the eyes of the central leadership, Fang Yang's status is also super high. Under normal circumstances, even if Fang Yang was in a relationship with the juniors of several families at the same time, they would not necessarily have any opinions.
However, Fang Yang himself is a descendant of a wealthy family, and his seniority is still a bit low. For example, if the Xu family, the Fang family, and the Liu family knew about Fang Yang and their daughter, even if they didn't say it, they would definitely feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
With Zhong Yue coming forward to speak, the situation will be much better.
"Since the junior brother has spoken, then I will definitely not refuse." Zhong Yue smiled and said, "When you need my help, junior brother just ask......"
Fang Yang was overjoyed, picked up his wine glass and said:
"Great! Thank you, brother! Come, I'll toast you! ”
After drinking for a while, the moon had slowly risen, the bright moonlight sprinkled on the sparkling moon lake in the autumn breeze, and the shadowy reeds in the distance formed a natural silhouette, and the scenery was intoxicating.
Zhong Yue put down his wine glass, stood up and said:
"Senior brother, let's drink here today! I'll have to go and refine the remaining six jade pendants, and I can take them with me when you leave." ”
Hearing this, Fang Yang also stood up and said:
"Okay, senior brother, I'm also very curious about your engraved formation, I don't know if I can watch it from the sidelines?"
"Absolutely! Come, brother, let's go to the back room. Zhong Yue said, "Xiaotian, you clean up this side first, and then come in to observe together, which is also very beneficial for you to learn the formation." ”
"Yes, Master!" Qin Tian replied respectfully.
"Senior brother, please!"
"Senior brother, please first!"
The two of them gave in and walked into the thatched hut together. Zhong Yue led Fang Yang to the room where he lived, motioned for Fang Yang to find a stool to sit down, and then opened the cabinet on the kang head, and took out a piece of clear and turquoise jade from it, with a diameter of about twenty centimeters, but the thickness was less than ten centimeters, and it was in the shape of a round cake.
This piece of jade is turquoise and transparent, and there is hardly a trace of impurities in it, and it is worth a lot of money at a glance, and it is definitely a first-class jade.
However, in this Xuanyang Cave Mansion, only Zhong Yue and Qin Tian master and apprentice live, because there are many formations outside, and there is a primeval jungle that is inaccessible, it is almost impossible to break into it by mistake, so these high-value jades, Zhong Yue just casually put them in the cabinet of the kang head, and did not collect them solemnly.
Zhong Yue weighed the piece of jade, and after pondering for a long time, he opened his mouth to ask Fang Yang what zodiac signs his confidantes were. Originally, the jade pendant that Zhong Yue prepared for Gu Ruoxi was an auspicious shape of a dragon and phoenix, which also had a profound meaning.
But now that Fang Yang has seven girlfriends, Zhong Yue can't make seven identical jade pendants! So he thought about it for a while, and decided that he didn't even want that piece of dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, so he remade seven pieces of jade pendant according to the zodiac of the seven people.
Among the seven people, Fang Qiao was the eldest, followed by Xu Qingya, and the youngest was Gu Ruoxi. Except for Soho and Liu Xinyao, who are the same age, the zodiac attributes of several other confidantes are different.
Zhong Yue nodded when he heard this, picked up the piece of jade and thought carefully for a few minutes, then took out a finger-wide knife, the narrow blade exuded a glowing cold light, and it looked extremely sharp.
Zhong Yue took the knife in his right hand, and quickly dropped the knife without any hesitation, and when the knife cut into the jade, it was like a hot iron piece cutting into butter, and the jade was cut without a sound.
The cultivator's brain was comparable to a computer, although it was only a brief thought before, but Zhong Yue had actually analyzed the structure of the entire jade stone very thoroughly, and the shape he wanted to carve had already been detailed in his mind, so although his movements were very fast, there was no deviation in the slightest.
The whole piece of jade was first divided into seven small pieces, and there was a small half of the jade left, which Zhong Yue casually put aside.
Then he picked up a small piece of jade in his left hand, and held the narrow but very sharp knife in his right hand. If it weren't for Fang Yang's fellow cultivators, he wouldn't even be able to see Zhong Yue's incomparably fast movements.
In just one minute, a lifelike little jade horse appeared in Zhong Yue's hand. He picked it up and blew it gently, and the last bit of jade dust on the horse's body also flew away, and the whole horse looked crystal clear, and Zhong Yue continued to use spiritual temperature to moisten the whole piece of jade in the process of carving, so he could achieve such an ingenious effect.
If you change to other carving masters in the world, even if you can carve the charm of a horse like Zhong Yue, it is extremely difficult to make the whole piece of jade show such a natural color. Of course, those handicrafts processed by machine qì are even more unlikely to have such a magical effect.
Zhong Yue barely paused, he put down the jade horse and immediately picked up another small piece of jade. These seven pieces of jade were all different in size and shape, but Zhong Yue looked at the six paths, did not pause at all, and did not hesitate, and immediately picked out the next target.
In the same way, in the flying shadow of the knife, clusters of jade fragments fell, Zhong Yue's movements were so fast that even the afterimage appeared on his right hand Of course, in Fang Yang's eyes, some details of the movements were still clearly visible.
It was still about a minute, and another jade horse with a completely different temperament and shape appeared in Zhong Yue's hand. It is also a jade horse, with a head held high in front, with a mane standing upright, and an unruly look in its eyes; The horse that has just been carved out presents a completely different temperament, with its head slightly bowed, its tail gently raised, and a quiet demeanor in its leisure.
When Fang Yang saw these two jade horses, he also showed a hint of surprise.
These two jade horses are naturally prepared for Soho and Liu Xinyao. What is rare is that although it is also a jade horse, Zhong Yue may have deliberately carved two completely different temperaments in order to make it easier for Fang Yang to distinguish them.
Zhong Yue's carving is a must, every temperament is vivid, and the jade horse is lifelike. Moreover, the temperament of these two jade horses and Liu Xinyao and Soho is also very compatible.
Fang Yang didn't specifically explain Zhong Yue, but it was such a coincidence, and such a coincidence also surprised Fang Yang.
Zhong Yue put the two jade horses aside, and did not mean to stop the movements in his hands, he picked up another small piece of jade with his hands, and continued to carve without stopping.
After a while, seven lifelike jade pendants were placed on the small table in front of Fang Yang, in addition to the two small jade horses, there were also jade rabbits, jade monkeys, and jade dragons......
Zhong Yue put away the knife, glanced up at Fang Yang, and asked with a smile:
"Senior brother, are you satisfied with these jade embryos I carved?"
Now Zhong Yue has not engraved the formation into it.
Therefore, these seven jade pendants may be a perfect work of art in the eyes of ordinary people, and they can be called the pinnacle of carving, but in Zhong Yue's eyes, they are just "embryos".
Only when the formation is perfectly carved like jade, can this pendant be considered to be endowed with vitality and have its specific function.
Otherwise, it's just a good look, and it's useless.
"Satisfied, simply satisfied!" When Fang Yang looked at those small hanging shelves "Jade Embryos", his eyes involuntarily showed a look of affection, "Senior brother, even if there is no engraved formation, I like these seven small pendants very much!" ”
Zhong Yue stroked his beard happily and said:
"It's good if the junior brother is satisfied."
Then, he said to Fang Yanghe and Qin Tian, who walked in after finishing the things outside:
"Senior brother, Xiaotian, I'm going to start carving the formation into the jade embryo, you have to look carefully. The formation is extremely profound, if you can have a little experience in the study of the formation, you will benefit immensely in the future! ”
Qin Tian immediately said solemnly:
"Yes! Master, I remember! ”
Fang Yang also nodded seriously.
Although he had never specifically studied the formation, he had mastered the method of entering and exiting the Xuanyang Cave Mansion, and although he had not been to the overseas cave mansion of Ruoshui's predecessor, he had also firmly remembered the method of entering and exiting the cave mansion and the control of some formations, so Fang Yang was not completely without a concept of the formation.
Fang Yang and Qin Tian both stared at Zhong Yue's movements. I saw Zhong Yue casually pick up one of the small pendant jade embryos, and then stretched out the index finger of his right hand, inducing the aura of heaven and earth to draw a complex pattern in the void.
Under the influence of the aura, these lines seem to be real, faintly shining with golden light, and these lines are more and more, connecting into a complex web in the air.
Fang Yang and Qin Tian felt that as this net gradually improved, the heaven and earth aura around them began to be gradually attracted, and they also began to move slowly according to the mysterious route of the pattern.
Immediately afterwards, Zhong Yue, who was holding the jade embryo in his left hand, finally pointed at the void with his right index finger, and his fingers slid quickly on the surface of the jade embryo, and golden light disappeared into the jade embryo.
The whole process may take less than a minute, or even shorter than when you carved it earlier.
But Zhong Yue was obviously much more struggling than before, and there was a faint trace of sweat on his forehead, and even his breathing was a little faster than just now.
Finally, Zhong Yue withdrew his right index finger with a soft snort. I saw a complex and mysterious pattern appear on the surface of the jade pendant, and then disappeared into the jade.
However, Fang Yang and Qin Tian clearly felt that this pendant seemed to be different from the other six.
Zhong Yue noticed Fang Yang's eyes, smiled and said:
"Senior brother, this has been completed, you can take it and take a look......"
After speaking, Zhong Yue gently threw up the jade pendant and threw it to Fang Yang's side. Fang Yang hurriedly reached out and grabbed the pendant.
As soon as the jade pendant was in his hands, Fang Yang immediately felt a burst of coolness, as if the impetuousness in his heart was gone, and it really had the effect of calming his mind. Then Fang Yang released his divine sense and slowly invaded the inside of the jade pendant.
He immediately discovered that there were two formations faintly running inside, one of which was the formation that could have the effect of condensing and calming the mind, and the other one faintly released a trace of killing qi, which was obviously another defensive formation that Zhong Yue had carved into.
The best defense is always offense.
Although it is a defensive formation, but the killing aura contained in it is to make Fang Yang have a trace of palpitations, this is after all, a formation arranged by a master of the Jindan period, the gap between the great realm, it is an insurmountable gap, no matter how talented you are, when you meet a master of a great realm higher than you, you will often only be beaten, and basically there will be almost no one to fight back.
In a small jade pendant the size of a child's palm, two complex formations can be engraved, and the two formations can be at peace with each other, and they can even share the heaven and earth aura absorbed by each other from the outside world to maintain the basic operation of the formation.
It's just amazing.
Fang Yang's eyes also showed a look of appreciation, and said:
"Senior brother is so powerful, junior brother is ashamed! I thought to myself that it would be impossible for such a formation to be carved into a small jade pendant. ”
Zhong Yue laughed, obviously a little proud, but his attitude was still very humble, and said:
"Senior brother, if you have the heart to learn, it won't be long before you will do much better than me! Really, you are the most talented cultivator I have ever seen, including Shizun, not to mention me and Xiaotian, our talents are too far behind you! ”
Fang Yang scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said:
"Senior brother is a little ridiculous, I'm just a middle-class talent......"
Zhong Yue listened to Fang Yang's obviously modest words, and just laughed, and did not continue the topic, but picked up the second jade pendant and began the work of engraving the formation again.
When dealing with the first jade pendant just now, Qin Tian couldn't even see Zhong Yue's movements clearly. Therefore, when Zhong Yue picked up the second pendant, Qin Tian was also even more nervous, staring intently at Zhong Yue's movements.
And Fang Yang gradually became a little interested in this formation, so he also looked at it very seriously.
Zhong Yue quickly finished disposing of the remaining six jade pendants.
Because the shape and temperament of each pendant are different, this even affects the layout of the formation. Therefore, Zhong Yue has to stop and think for a minute or two every time he deals with a pendant, and also take this opportunity to rest and rest, and then concentrate on making a move.
Compared with the ease of the carving stage, when engraving the formation, Zhong Yue's expression was much more dignified than before, and every time he completed one, he would stop and rest for a while, of course, he also used this short time to think about how to arrange the formation for the next pendant.
Seeing the seven lifelike and aura jade pendants on the table, Fang Yang's happy eyes were filled with a hint of curiosity, and he said:
"Senior Brother Zhong, I have a reluctant request......
"Senior Brother Fang, please speak!" Zhong Yue said.
"Senior brother...... I want to learn this formation knowledge from my senior brother, but I don't know if it's okay? Fang Yang asked.
"Senior brother, do you want to learn the formation?" Zhong Yue exclaimed in surprise and joy, "Of course you can!" If my brother is willing to learn, I will definitely teach you! I said before, with the talent of my junior brother, learning the formation will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, or it won't be long before you will far surpass mine! ”
Fang Yang felt a little embarrassed when he heard Zhong Yue's praise, and hurriedly said:
"Senior brother, talent is indefinite. Although I am not bad at cultivation, I don't know anything about the formation at all, and it is very likely that I am very weak in this regard. ”
"No, it won't!" Zhong Yue said, "With a qualification like mine, you can gain something from studying the formation, let alone a genius like my junior brother?" ”
Qin Tian also said on the side:
"Yes, uncle! You'll be fine! ”
Zhong Yue couldn't even wait until the next day, so he immediately took out his treasured "Formation Basics" and began to explain to Fang Yang:
"The formations are endlessly complex and endlessly evolving. The so-called Wuji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji gives birth to two yi, two yi gives birth to three talents, three talents give birth to four elephants, four elephants give birth to five elements, five elements give birth to six mi, six yayosheng seven su, seven sutra gives birth to gossip, gossip gives birth to nine palaces, and nine palaces give birth to infinity ......"
Zhong Yue started with the most basic formation principle to explain to Fang Yang, and combined with examples, he continued to use small pieces of jade to arrange simple formations, and explained to Fang Yang the flow of heaven and earth aura, the turning point of the formation node, and analyzed it in simple terms.
Fang Yang and Qin Tian both listened attentively, watching the demonstration intently, for fear of missing a single detail.
Time passed minute by minute, and gradually, from late night to early morning, even the sun slowly rose outside, and the sunlight poured into the thatched hut, and the three of them did not notice it in the slightest.
Zhong Yue spoke with relish, while Fang Yang and Qin Tian listened with relish.
Of course, Qin Tian had a somewhat blank look on his face, obviously he couldn't keep up with his train of thought in many places.
But Fang Yang became more and more excited, listening to it as if he was fascinated, and his eyebrows fluttered. Sometimes he would even stretch out his finger and gesture in the void, it was obvious that with Zhong Yue's explanation, Fang Yang's harvest was also getting bigger and bigger.
He gradually became obsessed with the sea of magical formations......
