At night, the lights outside were extinguished, and only the candle flame was still burning in front of the bed. Qu Liang's coat was open, and he leaned on the edge of the bed to read.

Suddenly, there was a sound of the door closing outside, so Sheying walked in, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said angrily: "Didn't you say earlier that you were going to come over tonight, fortunately there is still some warm water left, otherwise I won't wash it afterwards and tell me how to sleep." ”

Qu Liang put down the book and said with a smile: "Isn't this suddenly missing Mrs. ”

"I think you think I'm fake, it's your concubine who came to me when she was sick. ”

"How can it be, Madame, thinking too much. ”

"If I believe you, there will be a ghost. ”

She Ying went to bed, Qu Liang put down the book and blew out the candle, and both of them lay quietly. Suddenly, Sheying opened her mouth and said, "Husband, you know about Yi'er learning the formation." He's still so young, so he's learning formations, so let's wait for him to grow up. ”

Qu Liang opened his eyes and said for a long time: "This is the decision of the second brother, he came to me before and told me about it. I also knew that this matter was too sudden, after all, Yi'er had just started to cultivate, and he hadn't even fully mastered the cultivation of qi, so how could I see that he had the talent to learn the formation? But the second brother also had his own considerations about this matter, and he insisted again and again, so I had no choice but to give up and let him go. ”

"But ......"

"Don't say it, don't worry, if that kid really has the talent of a formation mage, he will be able to become a pillar of our Qu family in the future, and I will also entrust him to reuse. If I don't have this talent, it won't be harmful to learn, and I won't treat that child badly in the future. Let him go. ”

Seeing that Qu Liang also said this, Sheying had no choice but to sigh and say, "In that case, what else can I do?"

Early the next morning, Qu Yi got up early, and from today onwards, his morning class was also reduced by two lessons a week, and it was also changed to the study of formations.

With such frequent formation classes, even Qu Yi was suspicious, and with a brief understanding, he knew that formation lessons were not what a child of his age should learn at all. Qu Qian's arrangement must have been aimed at him.

But although Qu Qian's repeated needles made him unhappy, Qu Liang and Fang Ying didn't speak, what else could he say, he could only obediently obey.

The formation class was quite boring, especially for Qu Yi, who had never been involved in formation-related knowledge before. It's equivalent to suddenly opening a high school course to a primary school student, without a relevant foundation, you can't learn it at all.

Hu Wei also found it quite tricky. Generally speaking, learning formations starts with simple formations, and then allows students to draw formations, combining knowledge and action, so as to achieve the purpose of simply explaining complex formation knowledge. However, Qu Yi has not even fully mastered the practice of qi now, so how can he draw a formation? How to teach this difficult problem is in front of him.

Hu Wei has also been in the Qu family for many years, from the first student who was selected from the outside disciples to learn the formation, then to the apprentice who studied the formation with the teacher in the Qu family, and then became a member of the Qu family's formation masters. Thinking about it carefully, most of his life has been dedicated to the Qu family. Although he didn't make any special contributions, he was also conscientious, and being selected by Qu Qian as the teacher of the eldest young master naturally made him excited, which was undoubtedly an affirmation of him. Although Qu Qian said that it didn't matter if he taught well or not, he really couldn't do it if he simply read from the book.

After the hesitation and run-in period of the first few classes, Hu Wei also had a general understanding of Qu Yi. His first feeling was that this son was really as rumored, he was as smart as he was age, and he was also studious, and he wouldn't just ignore things that many people couldn't figure out when they saw it.

If that's the case, he's relaxed, just read it to the book casually, and the people below won't listen anyway. Since Qu Yi wants to learn, how can he be worthy of this teacher's identity if he doesn't teach well?

After spending some time sorting it out, Hu Wei hand-copied a notebook and gave it to Qu Yi, and said, "Young Master, the teacher will tell you the truth, with your current knowledge, I am afraid it will be very difficult to learn the formation. Therefore, the teacher prepared this notebook, and in the future, we will not talk about the content of the book, but focus on the content of this notebook. When you're done with this notebook, then we're ready to start talking about the book. ”

Qu Yi didn't expect Hu Wei to suddenly give him a notebook, the notes of the senior array mage are treasures for the latecomers. Surprised, he quickly stood up and took the note handed by Hu Wei, and found that it was as thick as a finger.

It was inconceivable that such a thick hand-copied note had been copied by Hu Wei in a few days. After hurriedly thanking him, he turned the first page of his notebook, and instead of the knowledge related to the formation, he talked about qi and discussed what "qi" was.

Looking intently at the contents of the note, I unconsciously turned three pages. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he was still standing, and he was so fascinated by it that he forgot to sit down and look again.

Seeing this, Hu Wei nodded with satisfaction and said, "The son can be taught." ”

So the new course is no longer about the study of formations, but about the discussion of qi.

"This note is also what the teacher's teacher said when he gave us a lecture. At that time, the teacher was just an ordinary member of the disciples accepted by the Qu family, but he didn't expect to be picked by the teacher to learn the formation. In fact, when the teacher first started learning the formation, the situation was not much better than that of the eldest young master, and he had no concept of the formation at all. This was almost entirely the case in our class at the time. In order to be able to teach us such a group of people, the teacher started with the simplest things. That's what's in this notebook. The content in it is not difficult, I think you will be able to understand it, young master. ”

Qu Yi nodded, turned back to the first page of the note, and the beginning was to ask what qi was. What exactly is qi, no one has been able to answer this question so far, only that it is pervasive in the universe of heaven and earth, whether it is in the mountains and water or in the depths of caves, everywhere.

This qi is what the practitioner needs to capture and then turn into his own use. And qi is also the most basic element that constitutes the formation.

The so-called operation of the formation, that is, the qi that makes up the formation runs and circulates in the formation.

If it is represented in real terms, it can be compared to a closed canal, in which the water is circulated by a pump. The formation is just a more complicated canal, and it is not water that runs with it, but qi.

After analyzing the metaphor so simply and clearly, Qu Yi immediately formed a concept about the formation in his mind, which he couldn't do in the introductory book he read before. This is probably the experience of teachers, who know best how to make sure that students can learn something.

So the next class became the teacher lecturing on the stage with his memory and experience, and Qu Yi frequently asking questions offstage. The atmosphere in the small classroom has become lively after the dullness of the previous days.
