Chapter 142: Beginner Array
A master driver can manipulate the car to make a variety of difficult maneuvers, such as drifting the car 180 degrees, and then sliding sideways into a small space to park the car neatly.
Beginners toss for a long time, but they may not be able to park the car in a very large parking space, and if they don't do it, they will have to scratch other people's cars, and even turn into a tragedy of serial crashes.
Does the difference between the two have anything to do with the car?
Not really. It's just that the individual level is different.
Whether or not you can master the difficult rune array also depends on the individual's ability and level. Wang Xiaotian decided to take advantage of Hu Minghui's leisure time now to ask him for knowledge about rune arrays.
He asked tentatively, "Sect Master Hu, I want to learn the knowledge of rune arrays, can you guide me?"
Hu Minghui was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "I'm not good at rune arrays. When I was young, my conditions were limited, and my spiritual foundation was very poor. Later, he became the Grandmaster of the Force, and he made up for his knowledge of rune arrays, and wrote down some related patterns of layout, and his strength was nothing more. If you don't dislike it, I can teach you what I know. ”
Wang Xiaotian nodded again and again and thanked him.
Hu Minghui said: "To put it bluntly, the rune is the operation technique of the Force. After thousands of years of research, it has been found that there are at least 360 kinds of Force runes. ”
Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "So many?"
Hu Minghui smiled: "It's a lot. However, there are only more than 50 of the most commonly used. Among them, there are only more than 10 kinds. Not much now, right?"
Wang Xiaotian nodded and said, "It's not much." ”
Hu Minghui said: "These runes are divided into five categories, one is the action control class. For example, entering, stopping, jumping, etc. The second is direction control, such as front and back, left and right, up and down. The third is transformation, compression, expansion, combustion, condensation, etc. ”
"The fourth is the condition control class, which simply means setting specific conditions and performing specific operations. Just like an amulet, it wants to judge whether the target is dangerous, then set a condition, such as the target's heart rate suddenly increases, the body trembles, and so on. ”
"If the conditions are set incorrectly, it will be troublesome, for example, the rune array made with the target stopping breathing as a sign of activation, it is not a talisman, but a revenge bomb. ”
"Five is the most complex, arithmetic class. Includes a variety of operator notations and algorithms. Of course, these classifications are simply divided, and do not represent the whole of the runes. Rune knowledge is very complex, and no one has yet dared to claim to have mastered it completely. ”
Wang Xiaotian thought for a moment and said, "Since the rune array is so powerful, why is it not widely used? I have seen many cultivators who do not even have rune arrays on their weapons and equipment. ”
Hu Minghui praised: "Good question. I have the most say on this issue. The knowledge of rune arrays is very complex and must be practiced by cultivators to learn and use. And the practice itself is a very expensive and energy-consuming thing. ”
"Especially in the early stages of cultivation, how do you allocate your limited resources? Do you want to raise your Force level first, or do you focus on learning rune knowledge? I believe that most people will choose to increase their Force level. ”
Wang Xiaotian nodded. It is common practice for practitioners to increase the level of the Force as much as possible in the early stages of their practice, at least before the sixth-level Force becomes a Master. Because at this stage, most practitioners are basically fighting on their own. Even if they have the support of their family or mentorship, they will be required to focus their main energy on increasing the level of the Force.
Because, at this stage, the level is everything.
No matter how exquisite the rune array of a third-level cultivator is, it can't stop the level crushing of a sixth-level cultivator.
Hu Minghui continued: "Moreover, the study of the rune array itself is needed
The cultivator's own strength is relatively high. Otherwise, you won't even be able to depict the rune array, so wouldn't you just be able to talk on paper?"
"The third and most important reason. Studying the rune array, the upfront investment is amazing. For example, I want to make an amulet, but the material itself is very expensive, and it is difficult for ordinary practitioners to afford it. ”
"Also, the rune array is not designed correctly, and whether it will work properly is depicted? Experiments cost money, and the money spent is by no means a small amount. ”
"Also, even if you study it theoretically many times, there is absolutely no problem. Or the rune array is a general model summed up by the predecessors, but when it comes to depiction, will it be able to succeed at the first time? If it fails, it will cause waste. Therefore, the rune array is definitely a big money burner. ”
Hearing this, Wang Xiaotian secretly felt lucky. It turns out that the Force Rune Array Simulator that Taling recommended to him is so useful! The next time you see it, apologize to it.
Hu Minghui didn't notice the subtle change in Wang Xiaotian's expression, and continued: "The last reason. The study of rune arrays also depends on talent. Ordinary cultivators, even if they focus all their energy on the study of rune arrays, may not be able to learn much. It's more useful to focus on spiritual practice. ”
"As for those true rune geniuses, they have long been taken away by the major sects, academies, and families. ”
Wang Xiaotian asked curiously: "What are they doing with these talents?"
Hu Minghui said: "Of course, it is to research and manufacture high-end equipment. Rune arrays are used on ordinary equipment, and most of them are conventional general-purpose arrays, such as the rune arrays of the Force gun, which are all ready-made. ”
"However, the rune arrays on high-end equipment are all custom-made, more complex, more powerful, and more selective about the user. These rune arrays are all strictly confidential, and each major sect, academy, and family has its own things at the bottom of the box, and they will never be passed on. ”
"Moreover, their high-end gear is only for their own internal use and is rarely sold to the outside world. In the past, when I became an eighth-level Force Grandmaster, I wanted a certain big family to tailor a piece of equipment for me, but they did everything they could to shirk it. In the end, I got really angry, and I taught them a lesson, and they obediently complied. ”
Wang Xiaotian thought for a moment and said, "According to what you say, even if I learn the rune array, it will be difficult for me to become a master?"
Hu Minghui thought for a moment and said, "I don't recommend that you put too much energy into the rune array. ”
"Why?"
Hu Minghui said: "Because no matter how deep the research of the rune array is, it can only stop at the Force master, and there has never been any Force grandmaster who has advanced through the study of the rune array. ”
Wang Xiaotian was puzzled and asked again, "Why?"
Hu Minghui shook his head and said, "I don't know." Maybe it's because of his limited energy, he only cares about studying runes, ignoring the tempering of his body, and he can't withstand the impact of the final promotion. Maybe it's because they are naturally scholar-type cultivators, and it's not their pursuit to reach the top of martial arts. ”
Wang Xiaotian originally wanted to ask Hu Minghui why he didn't choose to study the rune array after he became an accelerated grandmaster. As soon as he thought about it, it dawned on him.
Because when Hu Minghui was young, his qualifications and talents were too poor, and his foundation for studying rune arrays was even worse, and now even the runes are portrayed very ugly. If Wang Xiaotian asked like this, wouldn't he be poking his scars?
Wang Xiaotian nodded and said, "Sect Master Hu, don't worry, I just want to learn more knowledge, not to change my career to research." ”
Hu Minghui smiled and didn't continue to talk about this topic, but taught Wang Xiaotian the five types of basic runes one by one. Wang Xiaotian had already followed Xin Guang mechanics to some basic knowledge, this
It will naturally be easier to learn again. In two days, he learned all the more than 50 basic runes in five categories.
However, Hu Minghui did not continue to teach. He told Wang Xiaotian that the knowledge behind him was mainly rune combinations, and these were his weaknesses, and he couldn't mislead people's children. If Wang Xiaotian wants to study, he recommends going to a special college to study hard.
As for the practical rune arrays that Hu Minghui had mastered, telling Wang Xiaotian now was tantamount to harming him. Hu Minghui hopes that Wang Xiaotian can study it himself.
Hu Minghui instructed Wang Xiaotian about rune knowledge, which was originally free. Since he refused to continue to instruct, Wang Xiaotian couldn't force anything.
He solemnly thanked Hu Minghui.
At this time, the car also drove into Datong Province.
Datong Province is a militarized border hub city. The walls were high, the city was wide, the buildings were very sparse, and there was a large open space in the city, which was full of corn.
Wang Xiaotian guessed that these crops in the city should be used for emergency use. If besieged by enemies (alien beasts), the defenders can hold on to their strong walls. The sparse buildings effectively avoid the spread of a building when it catches fire, and the crops in the open field can replenish the defenders. In this way, even if they are besieged all year round, there will be no shortage of food.
As the car drove into the tall city gate, Wang Xiaotian noticed that every ten meters on both sides of the road, there was a soldier with a loaded gun.
He was very strange and asked, "Sect Master Hu, what are the soldiers on both sides doing?"
Hu Minghui said lightly: "It's for pomp." ”
Wang Xiaotian immediately understood, "This is to welcome you? ”
Hu Mingming sighed lightly and said, "This is the commander who is giving me a horse." ”
"Not really. ”
Hu Minghui said: "Why not?"
Wang Xiaotian said: "You are the Force Grandmaster, the peak powerhouse of the martial arts, how dare my master disobey you?"
Hu Minghui said: "I'm just an idle Force Grandmaster, and the power of the master is high, but in comparison, the energy of the teacher is greater." As for why he sent a horse to me, hehe, what you said to that Feng two days ago, it is estimated that he has already reported to the commander in its original form. ”
"I once asked the commander for a charter ticket to ensure your safety on the expedition. But in reality, I didn't do it during this expedition. So much so that you almost lost your life several times. When the commander hears this, it is normal to be angry. ”
"If I hadn't been the Force Grandmaster, I'm afraid that Master Ling would have already asked for guilt. It's just because I'm the Force Grandmaster, and the Master Ling has to give me some face, so as not to ask me about the guilt of the Master, so I have a disgrace. ”
Wang Xiaotian looked stunned, and couldn't help but say, "Your adult world is really too complicated. It's a very simple thing, but there are so many twists and turns. ”
Hu Minghui smiled slightly and said, "I ran away for half my life, and I still came back as a teenager." It's just a good expectation. The adult world is indeed complicated, but people have to grow up slowly. Grow up early and suffer less. Don't wait until your head breaks and you regret it. ”
Wang Xiaotian bowed his head and was silent when he heard this. Hu Minghui did not continue. Some words can be pointed, but more words are useless.
The steam sedan drove for a few minutes and stopped in front of a five-story building. Eighteen soldiers, lined up on both sides in a goose-winged formation, stood on eighteen steps of the floor. Zhou Ziheng stood in the middle of the steps and waited.
The car stopped steadily in front of Zhou Ziheng, and Zhou Ziheng stretched out his hand to open the car door. Hu Minghui got out of the car, and Zhou Ziheng said politely: "Grandmaster Hu is here, Zhou has missed the distance, and I ask for forgiveness." ”
Hu Minghui said with a smile: "Your Excellency doesn't scold Hu in your heart, Hu will be very content." How dare you blame Your Excellency?"
