Chapter 55: A Day of Sleepiness
"How much do you know about formation?" asked the lake.
After the induction, Yun Feng did a lot of homework, and there were many books related to the formation in the small library, but most of them were only superficial and brief introductions, and there were very few detailed systematic and detailed analyses, and a lot of knowledge was still obtained by consulting Yuan Yuan, Chen Ming and others.
"In the cultivation world, in addition to the mainstream profession of practitioners, there are also some more remote cultivation paths, such as enlightened beings, mind masters, and prophets, and the array mage, as one of the hidden and great existences, has always been feared by cultivators. ”
According to what Yun Feng learned, the formation mage is more like a traditional handicraft industry, and everyone in the formation world seems to be tacitly following a certain rule, except for the master leading the door and teaching the industry to solve doubts, the entire industry is like a fortress that is monopolized, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter.
"The world is made up of five elements, and the five elements are not static, but interact, one and the other, constantly evolving, and constantly moving according to a rule inherent in their own appearance. ”
"In addition to absorbing the five elements into the body and transforming them into qi, practitioners can also use them into the environment of heaven and earth through the mastery of the five elements and rearrange them according to certain laws, so as to produce effects such as attacking, trapping objects, and gathering spirits within a certain range. This is the formation. ”
"The last time Yuan Yuan and I crossed the barrier in the peach forest, including the fact that we were never able to get close to you after going up the bridge, it should be an application in the formation. This is almost all that Yunfeng has learned.
Lu Li listened quietly all the time, did not nod in agreement, nor did he interject, his next words represented a seven-star array mage's understanding of the formation: "You can think of the five elements as five notes, and the world is composed of them, and according to the different order of the notes, different tunes will be played. The formation mage is equivalent to the composer. ”
"If you want to become a formation mage, you have to meet many harsh conditions, the most important of which is the Five Elements Practitioner. Although practitioners perceive the five elements and absorb them into their bodies and transform them into Xingqi, generally speaking, people's perception of different elements is different, some people have a strong perception of the water element, some people have a strong perception of the fire element, and the Origin Xingqi is often the strongest element perceived by the practitioner. ”
"However, there are always some exceptions among hundreds of millions of people, whose ability to perceive the five elements is almost equal, and they try to maintain their balance in their cultivation, so there are actually five types of their origin qi, which are separated and do not blend with each other. ”
"However, there are very few people with such innate conditions, and if they cannot maintain the balance of the elements in the process of absorbing qi, they are very likely to be eaten by it. The Array Mage is indeed one in a million, but while giving it extraordinary abilities, it also takes a huge risk. ”
"One last point. Lu Li looked at Yun Feng with a yearning expression, knowing that the last sentence would not change his mind, but he didn't know how many formation mages died here: "Although formation mages can use the five elements at the same time, their strength is also divided equally, and they have no advantage in direct battles with walkers of the same level, and they often suffer losses in encounters or surprise attacks." ”
"Elder Li, I heard that you are the only seven-star array mage in Yu Zhao. "The fellow mages have a strict hierarchy, which is divided into seven stars, expressed in the simplest numerical form, one to seven stars. On the surface, Yun Feng asked casually, but in fact, he was excited, you must know that so far, he has seen many high-level walkers, but the array mage has only encountered one, but it is already the highest seven-star.
Although Wei Li did not deny it, since the last battle, he was seriously injured, and now his strength is less than half of his peak, even so, there is no successor in the Twilight Zhao Continent.
"Whether it's a walker or a formation master, grading is just a preliminary assessment of their realm. It can be heard that Lu Li doesn't care about the so-called Seven Star Array Mage, which is the title that countless people are eager to call me, "I have always disagreed with judging the strength of a walker or formation master purely by rank, although there is indeed a gap between the two levels as a whole, but it is not insurmountable, there are many cultivators who specialize in the art industry, and there are many cultivators who can defeat a level higher than themselves." ”
Of course, the formation is not as simple as arranging the five elements. He looked through the peaks of the valley and the scorching sun, the bright light did not allow him to retreat, and two white fireballs appeared in his pupils, completely occupying the black, and burning.
He lowered his head slowly, the temperature in his eyes seemed to spread, and as far as his eyes could see, the lake began to burn!
"Formations involve so many things, deduction, mechanics, astronomy, mathematics, architecture, geography, logic, optics...... An excellent formation mage is often a master of the whole thing. In addition to the core structure of arranging the five elements in the setting of a large array, there are also the setting of the array eye, the direction of the formation, the law of evolution and the driving ......"
Yun Feng listened carefully, carving every word that Lu Li said in his mind, like a sponge, frantically absorbing all the knowledge about the formation. The blazing lake in front of him broke his previous perception of the usual laws of things.
"Today, I will teach you a different formation. As he retracted his gaze, the lake crumbled like ice, replaced by a huge image of the human body, with all the internal organs, the skeletal structure and the main meridians.
"A different formation?" Yun Feng was surprised, expectant, and questioned.
"The structure of the human body, like the image in front of us, is in fact a formation itself, which operates according to its unique laws, which I call the first formation. The formation formed by the formation mage using the five elements combined with the geographical environment is just an extension of the first formation. This passage has affected Yunfeng from beginning to end.
When he seemed to understand or not, he tapped in the air, and then dozens of thin lines appeared, connecting the main acupuncture points of the body, which were scattered, as if forming a strange pattern: "Many formation mages have studied the big formation all their lives, pursuing the true meaning of the formation, but ignoring the first formation. As everyone knows, the human formation is the fundamental, how can they arrange the most perfect large array if they sacrifice their roots to seek the end. ”
Yun Feng suddenly remembered the Qilin Moyan trapped in the small library, the scene of thunder and fire descending from the gods was vivid, and he couldn't help but think of how many stars the mage who set up this array?
"This formation that doesn't look like a formation is called Trapped Demon. Strictly speaking, it is not a traditional formation, but more like a skill. Yu Li didn't know what Yun Feng thought, flicked his sleeves, and the image immediately changed position, and a three-dimensional degree map slowly turned.
"Trapped Demon ......" Yun Feng recited the name. He had clearly felt the temperature rise, and it seemed that the burning lake was not an illusion, but how much energy it would take to make it burn.
"The human body is the first formation, and the trapped demon is actually to strengthen this formation. "The breeze was gentle on the edge of the lake, and the gray robes fluttered in the wind. "The status of the formation mage is transcendent, many royal families and sects are vying to win over first, an excellent formation mage often has a huge background, and the power behind him is regarded as a treasure, and he will never be allowed to have an accident, and many are guarded by powerful walkers. ”
"But, but, how can the safety of a formation master be entrusted to others. Yun Feng didn't expect that Lu Li actually used two. This may sound a bit mischievous, but it is enough to show that the latter takes their own safety seriously.
Yun Feng looked at the image, his mind was concentrated to the greatest extent, he divided the image into several areas, his eyes searched independently, every detail was magnified, the structure was automatically decomposed, and a large amount of information came into his mind.
Gradually, a golden tadpole appeared in the image, swimming in the meridians, repeating itself, although the image did not change because of this, this golden tadpole is undoubtedly the key to the trap.
"In the future, you will control the flow of qi and blood according to the meridian routes that the tadpoles pass through. Wei Li left his back to Yun Feng and walked towards the Seven Star Pavilion, the image in the lake gradually dimmed.
As the image disappeared, Yun Feng suddenly felt that his mind was shocked, swollen and confused, and before he could calm down, a delicate image appeared in his mind, like a diagram of the operation of the trapped demon. Feel free to read and move, and the image is immediately presented.
The clouds and wind didn't rub much, and they sat quietly on the spot and entered the cultivation state, and their breathing became more and more stable, gradually becoming inaudible.
The lake breeze blows the hair, and the sun shines through the dappled branches of the trees.
He still fishes on the bridge, sometimes with his rod empty, and sometimes the fish takes the bait and splashes a splash. The birds shuttled through the woods, docked on the shoulders of the clouds, and took off in fright, sometimes stopping at the bridge piles and watching the fish jump and enter the fish basket.
The sun rises, the sun sets, the shadows change, they keep flowing, and finally they turn to gray. From morning to dusk, Yunfeng sat quietly.
He has been exposed to medicine since he was a child, and he is extremely familiar with the acupuncture points of the human body for his own reasons. The image of the trapped demon went from profound to faded, and finally disappeared, becoming a part of his consciousness.
In the dusk, two dragonflies stood on their fishing tails, grinding their ears and temples, whispering, and then flew together and ran to each other. They are very lightweight, but they still pull the line when they fly, and a few ripples ripple slightly around the center of the line.
At the same time, a certain acupuncture point of Yunfeng suddenly trembled and emitted light, which was the same as the Trapped Demon Array Diagram.
Immediately after, the next acupuncture point also happened to the same scene, all the way through, and finally every acupuncture point in the running line became a beating point, emitting golden light together, like a lot of gold.
Yun Feng tried to stabilize the joy in his heart, so that this state continued, and after a back and forth, the first glowing acupuncture point gave birth to a golden tadpole, which swam to the next acupuncture point along the meridian running line, and finally connected to form a complete acupuncture point operation map. At this point, it's another cycle.
The beating of the acupuncture points drives the surrounding muscles, pulls the terminal nerves, and the whole body of Yunfeng is numb, like a spark falling on the skin, and like a raindrop falling on the body, which is very wonderful.
"A day of sleepiness. "Yu Li sensed the changes in the clouds and wind, and was a little incredulous.
