Chapter 117: Giving Birth to the Runic Array

Ancient Chinese warfare was very particular about combat formations, which were called "formations". If the formation is properly arranged, the combat effectiveness of the army can be brought into full play and the enemy can be defeated. Famous in history include the "Bagua Array" created by Sun Bin, a great military strategist in the Warring States Period, inspired by the Book of Changes, the "Star Array" created by the famous Southern Song Dynasty general "Kidnapping Horse", and the "Mandarin Duck Array" created by Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general......

The monk's formation has the same origin as the mortal soldier's formation, but it is more subtle.

The "array stones" needed by the monks to set up the array are basically the spiritual materials of heaven and earth, among which jade is the most versatile, the beautiful jade has a spirit, and the jade is hidden under the Lingxiu Mountain Range, which itself is a kind of stone containing spiritual energy.

Liu Ci's cultivation and learning talismans are neither good nor bad in many cultivation avenues, without the guidance of the master, the formation she knows is just a general talk based on the characteristics of the talisman when the predecessors of the talisman wrote the classics.

What Fu Xiu's predecessors learned was very miscellaneous, and Liu Ci groped for learning, so it was even more messy. As a monk in the foundation building period, she can not only draw the five elements of the talisman, but also the miscellaneous divine talismans, tranquilization talismans, fortune talismans and the like, what she has learned is mottled and impure, if it were not for the dust fairy dream to teach the most orthodox nameless qi refining technique, Liu Ci's cultivation path must be extremely difficult.

The formation that promotes the growth of plants is not uncommon in the cultivation realm, and the effect of the clever birth formation is better, and the effect of the big road goods is ordinary. You must know that the growth of an elixir will take at least a hundred years for a monk to take before it can be effective, most of the Xiuzhen sects have their own medicine gardens and spiritual fields, in addition to the spiritual herbs and elixirs planted by their own sects and found in the Borderland, they can't continue to let it grow in the wild if they are not old enough, right? At this time, they will be transplanted into the medicine garden and continue to grow under the effect of the Birth Talisman Array.

The growth of plants and trees absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, and in the other world, the aura of heaven and earth is displayed in the form of magical elements, and the talisman is feasible, Liu Ci feels that the talisman array should be effective.

There are a lot of related formations, and she now has two options.

The first is to use eight "spirit gathering talismans", which can gather the surrounding spiritual energy together and promote the growth of plants and plants.

The second is to use sixteen "growth charms" to delineate a piece of land, and the plants planted in the land can be harvested in a short time, but it is miserable to use ginseng and other medicinal materials, it looks like a century-old ginseng, and the medicinal effect may not be able to replace ten years. Choose a place with abundant spiritual energy and use it to grow ordinary crops, and the effect is so-so.

The paper runes act as "array stones" and do not last long.

Liu Ci thought about it for a while, and spent a few days drawing some spirit gathering talismans and growth talismans respectively. She is now handy at drawing runes, and there is always a success rate of about four out of ten rune papers, of course, the new runes that she has not touched before, do not waste hundreds of rune papers, and she can't even touch the threshold.

Learning two new talismans at the same time, the yellow table paper consumed made Liu Ci's flesh ache, and the bamboo forest behind the small building was pinned on by Liu Ci, if there is a new bamboo in the coming year, she must make more yellow paper.

Putting down the paper talisman in his hand, Liu Ci's heart moved, and he couldn't help but use his divine sense to investigate the green bamboo behind the house.

The divine consciousness extends down the bamboo body, and the bamboo joints are transparent and not blocked. It's just that when he was about to reach the root, Liu Ci found a black shadow in the bamboo tube, and in the induction of divine consciousness, the black shadow was composed of dense small black dots, although it was motionless, each small black dot had vitality.

Hey, is there a worm growing in bamboo?

Liu Ci was suspicious, subdivided his divine sense into many tentacles, and then tested the small black spots. In Liu Ci's perception, these black dots seemed to be dormant, and if it weren't for her sensitive sense, she really wouldn't be able to capture that subtle fluctuation of life.

However, it does look like an egg. Liu Ci didn't care that it was still snowing outside, and went downstairs with his clothes on.

She took a knife to peel off the outer skin of the bamboo carefully, and there was nothing abnormal from the outside of the bamboo tube, and the inside was densely attached to the black spots on the inner wall. Liu Ci didn't care about the nausea, pressed all the insect eggs to death with a black face, and checked all the bamboo forests, but fortunately there was only such a scourged place.

Scourge bamboo, generally bamboo shoot insects, lay eggs in winter, summer adults live by sucking bamboo shoots and tender bamboo juice, those who eat bamboo shoots to grow up bamboo shoot insects in the eyes of gluttony is also wild food, Liu Ci also counts on Hsinchu papermaking, but dare not lose the big because of the small, in order to eat a plate of insects, let them harm the bamboo.

After reading the "disease" of the bamboo, Liu Ci remembered the "small packets" found when his divine sense scanned the roots of the bamboo forest just now, which seemed to have come out of the bamboo whip, could they be bamboo shoots that had not grown up yet? There are bamboo shoots, there will be Hsinchu next year, the winter bamboo shoots are delicious, Liu Ci can't fight the idea of this batch of bamboo shoots no matter how greedy she is, she smashes her mouth, there are still many dried bamboo shoots in the lotus pond space, let Nana soak a few handfuls in a while, it should be able to catch up with dinner.

Drawing talismans needs to be meditated, Liu Ci had already sent Nana and Amy far away, and now there is no one left and right, Liu Ci's heart moved, and a gushing spring appeared from his fingertips, dripping on the roots of the bamboo in turn. The densely developed bamboo roots, greedily absorbing the spring water containing spiritual energy, I don't know if it is Liu Ci's illusion, the bamboos that have drunk the spiritual spring water are swaying slightly in the wind and snow, and they are actually in a happy mood in the face of the severe cold.

Immersed her whole mind in this mysterious fluctuation, snowflakes fell all over her hair and shoulders, and the spiritual power of the body protector was completely restrained, Liu Ci seemed to have become a part of the bamboo forest at this time, and the snowflakes that fell on her body did not melt, wrapping her whole person in silver.

Estimating the time when Liu Ci drew the talisman, the maid Nana went to the study with hot tea and didn't find her.

Looking out the window, Liu Ci stood in the bamboo forest with his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking, but he didn't move. Nana was startled and hurriedly shouted "Miss"!

Liu Ci was shocked and woke up from that state of mind.

She was originally a wood-based Daoji, but she had a fiery temper and a divine master, and she was contaminated with a lot of anger in the Moloch Mountains. Just now, his divine consciousness traveled along the bamboo rhyme, and he inadvertently washed away the anger, and the corners of his flying eyes were still the same, but Liu Ci's face was softer.

"Wood" is gentle and energetic, and what happened to Liu Ci just now can be regarded as a chance, but she was interrupted by Nana, and she did not get angry.

After washing with bamboo rhyme, Liu Ci is really more calm.

"Little girl, what a big opportunity, you wasted it......" Liu Ci muttered to herself, Nana ran downstairs early and galloped in front of her.

Seeing that the other party looked concerned, Liu Ci also completely discarded a few complaints.

"Miss, why are you alone in the bamboo forest, and you are not afraid of freezing!"

Liu Ci pinched Nana's round face and smiled lightly: "You don't know your young lady's body yet?" Let's go, go to my house and get two handfuls of dried bamboo shoots, and let the cook cook a bowl of ham soup to drink at night. ”

Most of the "ingredients" that Liu Ci needs every day are provided by herself, and in addition to flour and sweet potatoes in the lotus pond space, other ingredients are really almost consumed. This is also the reason why Liu Ci pondered about raising livestock, and he couldn't ask a gluttony to be a vegetarian all day long.

The bamboo shoot and ham soup was delicious, and after eating, he encouraged the children and soldiers, and discussed the recent arrangements with the chief butler James, Liu Ci waited for Nana and Amy to sleep, and then took the spirit rune to the two empty glass greenhouses.

The second bean sprouts were just cut in the morning, and Stuart said that the bean sprouts were not sold at all in Emster City, hundreds of thousands of people in the city, thousands of catties of bean sprouts were digested as soon as they entered the market, and the price was lower than that of out-of-season vegetables, which was really popular in Amster City.

Stuart was busy with the snack shop, selling bean sprouts, and he didn't have time to come back to reconcile the accounts, the big butler James saw that the soybean sprouts were profitable, and Liu Ci was busy studying the spirit gathering talisman and the growth talisman for a few days, the big butler organized the women in the village to distribute the second batch of bean sprouts.

After harvesting the second batch of bean sprouts today, the two greenhouses just happened to be vacant, and Liu Ci just tried to set up the array.

After all, Liu Ci was setting up the formation for the first time, and she was not sure that the mysterious and mysterious rune array would succeed at one time, and she definitely couldn't practice with other flower sheds full of plants.

In the dead of night, there were no night servants in the two greenhouses where the bean sprouts had just been harvested, and it was convenient for Liu Ci to do it.

She quietly came to the edge of the greenhouse, circled around the greenhouse a few times, and first distinguished the four directions of the greenhouse. The array is inseparable from the stars, but the starry sky above Amster's head is very different from the stars that the Earth Federation can see, Liu Ci can't learn from the celestial phenomena, and can only rely on the nine palace gossip to determine the location of the "array stone".

The so-called "Bagua" represents the yin and yang system of things that change themselves, divided into: Qian, Kun, Gen, Dui, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, corresponding to natural phenomena such as heaven, earth, water, fire, thunder, mountain, wind, Ze, etc., if the nine palaces are combined with the Bagua, you can find out that Kan is in the north, Kun belongs to the southwest, and the earthquake is east......

There is a shortage in the east of the valley, it is not difficult for Liu Ci to identify the direction, and the spawning rune array is to integrate the power of the rune to form an endless cycle of rune power, which can only be regarded as an auxiliary formation in the cultivation realm, and it is not difficult. With the moonlight above his head, Liu Ci quickly buried the sixteen "growth talismans" in the corresponding positions according to the statement on the "Fu Gong Daquan".

When the talisman was buried, Liu Ci could feel the scattered paper talismans, their restrained aura, but they attracted sporadic magical elements to gather. Liu Ci's face was strange, the function of the growth charm was to gather the aura of heaven and earth to give birth to plants, there was no aura of heaven and earth in the other world, and the nature attracted was the element of magic.

Fortunately, she had lotus pond water, and she didn't plan to use growth talismans or spirit gathering talismans to help the bamboo forest or other spirit plants, otherwise she would really be disappointed, after all, they could only absorb the aura in the lotus pond water, which was far from the magic element.

Shaking off the messy thoughts, Liu Ci felt that he couldn't be too greedy. Being able to obtain a fountain pool that produces aura in the world of magic and swords is already a glimmer of life left by the Great Dao for her cultivation. Liu Ci's attention returned to the talisman array.

Burying the talisman is only the first step, and the formation laid out by the monk needs to be enlightened.

The monk draws the power of heaven and earth into the formation for his own use, if he lacks the step of "enlightenment", no matter how mysterious the formation and high-level formation stones are, the formation will be reduced to a mortal formation.

Liu Ci put his hand on the spirit rune of the array eye, and the pure wood spiritual power poured out along her palm, using the talisman as a medium, as if spreading around. The talismans walking around were like small flames, and Liu Ci used spiritual power as a thread to pull them one by one.

The spiritual power traveled between the lines of the formation, lighting up the talismans one by one.

When the talisman practiced the cycle of Zhou Tian between the talismans, and the spiritual power was unimpeded, Liu Ci knew that the "enlightenment" was completed.

The spiritual power consumed made her take a few breaths. The Birth Talisman Array only used sixteen growth talismans, which was not a complicated formation, and it was not a big problem to enlighten the soul with the strength of her foundation building period.

As soon as the rune array was formed, the aura around it had completely changed.

A large number of magic elements were used in the glass greenhouse, and Liu Ci stood in the array, feeling the beating of the magic elements.

They were a little unhappy, as if they had been forcibly detained, and if they changed the Gathering Spirit Rune Array, they didn't know what the situation would be. Liu Ci stood in the formation and felt the fluctuations of the magic elements, guessing the difference between the two before.

Practice brings true knowledge, and it is not difficult to set up another spirit gathering array. Liu Ci looked at the remaining spirit gathering talisman in his hand, and felt that the talisman array was quite interesting.
