Chapter 52: Carving Array
Coming out of Hongshu, Zhou Hao went straight to his room.
Couldn't wait to close the door, Zhou Hao took out the Seven Peerless Arrow Array that he had hidden closely, and began to study it carefully.
These Seven Absolute Arrow Arrays are only remnants, and there are only the first three formations, which are the Three Talents of Heaven and Earth, the Dragon and Tiger Four Elephant Arrays, and the Five Elements of Water and Fire.
And Zhou Hao directly targeted the simplest Heaven and Earth Three Talent Array.
The formation diagram of the Three Talents Array of Heaven and Earth is composed of thirty-six formations and eighteen mantras. Zhou Hao only needs to engrave this array diagram completely onto the three arrows, and it will be done!
It took Zhou Hao an hour to memorize the formation diagram of the three talent formations of heaven and earth by heart, and then he took out a few armor-piercing arrows and prepared to engrave the formation on them.
It wasn't until Zhou Hao started to carve the formation by himself that he realized that seemingly simple things were extremely difficult to do!
There are only fifty-four formations and mantras in the Three Talents of Heaven and Earth, which is the simplest of all the formations.
However, it was a difficult task to engrave all these fifty-four complex formations and mantras onto arrows that were only the thickness of a finger, and that there could be no mistake in the slightest stroke!
Zhou Hao held the carving knife tightly in one hand and the armor-piercing arrow in the other, concentrating and carefully carving the formation on the arrow, every stroke was full of attention, and he didn't dare to be careless!
But even so, Zhou Hao, who carved the formation for the first time, still failed to succeed.
"Bang!" Zhou Hao's right hand holding the carving knife was too strong, and a stroke was carved too deeply, and the armor-piercing arrow in his left hand made a loud sound, and it suddenly exploded!
The shaft of the arrow, made of hard hemlock, was completely blown to pieces, and the arrowhead made of fine iron was also blown into several pieces!
Zhou Hao, who was unprepared, was suddenly pounced on by sawdust. A small piece of fragmented arrows that were blown away were even more coincidentally embedded in Zhou Hao's right arm!
"His grandmother's, how could this be!"
Zhou Hao didn't feel the pain in his right arm, but was shocked by the consequences of the failure of the carving array!
Zhou Hao actually didn't have too high expectations for his first moment. Even if it is a failure, it is perfectly acceptable.
After all, he has only studied Qimen gossip for more than 20 days, and his mastery of talismans and mantras is far from reaching the realm of proficiency. And the understanding of the formation is only at the level of half-understanding.
In this case, if you can succeed in the first moment, then you are really lucky!
It's just that Zhou Hao didn't expect that the failure of the carving array would have such an amazing result! The entire arrow branch would completely explode!
Not only did Zhou Hao not expect this, but even the exercises of the Seven Absolute Arrow Arrays and the teachings given to him by Hong Su were not mentioned at all.
In fact, this can't be blamed on Hong Shu, she definitely didn't expect that Zhou Hao, a half-person, had just learned some of the most basic things of Qimen gossip, and he actually dared to carve the formation by himself! Otherwise, she would definitely stop Zhou Hao from doing such a brutal thing.
Zhou Hao was stunned for a long time, and then he felt the pain on his right arm, and quickly used a carving knife to remove the broken arrow from his arm and hastily bandaged it.
Fortunately, the power of the broken arrow is not too great, and it does not penetrate the flesh deeply, but only a flesh wound.
After settling down, Zhou Hao summed up the reasons for this failure, and prepared to carve the formation again.
And this time, Zhou Hao didn't dare to slack off, took out his black iron heavy helmet, wrapped his whole body tightly, and even covered his face with face armor, and then began to continue carving the formation.
If you can't carve it again, but instead make yourself bruised, then the fun will be great!
Everything was ready, and Zhou Hao started to work again.
"Bang!" Soon after, the piercing arrow exploded again!
The second time he carved the array, Zhou Hao was too careful again, and the strokes were carved too shallow, and he also failed!
But fortunately, with the protection of heavy armor, Zhou Hao was not injured again this time.
"Grandma's! The master still doesn't believe it, just fifty-four array talismans and mantras, the master can't carve them!"
After speaking, Zhou Hao immediately began to carve the formation for the third time.
"Bang!" this time Zhou Hao was ruthless, the strokes were engraved too long, and he still failed!
Fourth!
"Bang!"
For the fifth time!
"Bang!"
Sixth
The successive explosions attracted the guards in the courtyard to cast their suspicious eyes on Zhou Hao's room.
It wasn't until Zhou Hao's room that after the sixth explosion occurred, a guard couldn't hold back any longer, hurriedly ran to the door of Zhou Hao's room, and asked in a loud voice: "Zhou Qinwei, everything is okay, what's going on inside?"
This shout suddenly woke up Zhou Hao, who was covered with sawdust, and quickly replied: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm practicing!"
"Oh! I'm really sorry, I'm disturbing Zhou Qinwei's practice!"
"It's okay, as long as you don't bother me again!"
"Hehe, not next time, not next time!"
The guards in these courtyards had long known that each of the dozen or so guards was more strange than the other, and they had already seen it strange, and they didn't care about it in their hearts, so they immediately retreated lightly.
And Zhou Hao spent nearly two hours, but what he gained was six consecutive failures, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed. He didn't even take off his armor, he lay down on the bed with his back to the sky, and closed his eyes and thought about the reason for his failure.
After a while, Zhou Hao summed up two reasons for the failure.
The first is that I am not proficient enough in the formation of talismans and mantras. There is really no way to do this, who says that you have only studied for more than 20 days! In the future, only by practicing diligently can you gradually improve, but there is no quick way to achieve it at the moment.
The second is that his breath and hands are still not stable enough! Although he has practiced bows and arrows for more than ten years, his breath and hands are far more stable than ordinary people, but when he wants to carve a formation on an arrow that is only the thickness of his fingers, the stability is still not enough!
As long as the breath is slightly unstable, or the hands are slightly shaken, the previous efforts will be wasted, and the formation will fail!
Is there any way to make my breathing and hands a little more stable?
Zhou Hao suddenly thought of the Tontu Gong's Tuna Method!
This thick earth gong is originally known for its stability and long rhyme, and its breathing method has a stable breath and makes people have no distractions.
"Hey, maybe this breathing method will work!"
When Zhou Hao thought of this, he was suddenly excited, immediately stood up, jumped up from the bed, walked to the table and sat down, and without saying a word, he began to vomit.
This method of breathing is really effective, and after a while, because of the continuous failures, Zhou Hao, who was a little impetuous, gradually calmed down and slowly immersed himself in that state of no distractions.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Hao's breathing had completely stabilized, and he no longer had to deliberately control it.
It was only at this time that Zhou Hao slowly opened his eyes, slowly grabbed the carving knife and the armor-piercing arrow, and carved the formation calmly.
