Chapter 32 "Array Master Carving, From Beginner to Mastery"
Jiang Ze took the sword and went back to the small courtyard of Bi Wufeng, took out the incense case, put the sword on the case upright, and found the three pillars of incense from nowhere.
Insert the incense into the incense burner, straighten your back and cross your knees and quietly watch the incense in the furnace burn out, and the heart lake is quiet.
Ever since he arrived at the Primal Realm, Jiang Ze had been haunted by a flustered mood and an extreme lack of security.
Like a lonely boat floating in the ocean, it may be overturned by the undercurrent at any time.
It wasn't until the moment the sword was in his hands that Jiang Ze had a glimmer of understanding in his heart, and he finally understood what he was missing.
A paddle.
That's right!
The sword in his hand is the oar.
With this sword, you can protect yourself, your relatives and friends, and your heart.
With this sword, you can open the way in the mountains, cut the waves, and kill the enemies in all directions.
With this sword, you can, kill demons, eliminate demons, defend the road, and sweep the world unevenly.
With this sword, you can establish your heart for heaven and earth, establish your life for the people, and continue to learn for the saints.
When the last wisp of green smoke cleared, Jiang Ze took off the sword and rubbed it carefully.
"From now on, you will be called Refraction!"
With a bang, the sword was drawn out of the sheath, and the cold light was dazzling.
Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has not been tried. Who has a grievance today?
Jiang Ze danced a section of Tai Chi Thirteen Styles with a sword, only to see the sword light in the field jumping, sometimes like a shock, sometimes as fast as lightning.
Hanging, teasing, wiping, belting, collapsing, twisting, intercepting, piercing, chopping, cutting a series of actions in one go, loose and natural, the strength is smooth, the sword moves are continuous, chic and elegant.
This Tai Chi sword was learned by Jiang Ze during his college years with his master Peng Yunzhi.
Jiang Ze's mood in the sword dance gradually stabilized.
Refraction is not a powerful magic weapon, but at this moment it gives his heart a place to stand.
This place of peace is my hometown.
After the dance, Jiang Ze carefully wiped the sword body with his sleeve, only to find that Xiao Yi was standing aside with a dustpan.
Xiao Yi came earlier, and after watching it for a long time, she noticed an inexplicable change in Jiang Ze's body.
Its momentum no longer contradicts this world, and gradually fits and blends.
This is the heart tribulation that most cross-border people have experienced in their lives, and they have passed away with a sigh in the endless nostalgia for their hometown for a lifetime.
Only by surviving the mental tribulation and accepting this world from the heart can this realm be tolerated by the Heavenly Dao of this realm, and there will be no additional obstacles to cultivation.
"The sword is good, but the swordsmanship is too fancy, not like the combat technique, it looks like it is full of flaws, but it is like Lu Bufan's practice. Xiao Yi commented thoughtfully.
"It's really not a combat skill, this set of swordsmanship is used by the old people in my hometown to strengthen their bodies. Jiang Ze did not refute, his Taiji sword was not good at learning. "Xiaoyi, you also know swords?"
"That's natural, I have to wait on the side when Sister Linli practices swords, I have seen a lot, and I can naturally understand a little, Sister Linli's swordsmanship is called a thunderstorm, a sword and three shadows. Xiao Yi said arrogantly.
"Hey, when did you also learn the consecration technique of the old monk of the Mahayana Temple?" Xiao Yi caught a glimpse of the incense burner on the practice ground, and said sarcastically.
"This is a ritual, do you understand it? Life may not be very exciting, but there must be a sense of ritual! I can rely on them all in the future!" Jiang Ze raised the sword in his hand very solemnly.
This was his first weapon.
The sword fairy was a little excited when he thought about it.
Xiao Yi didn't pay attention to him anymore, and put the dustpan in the open space where the practice ground could be exposed to the sun, and it contained the medicinal materials that he received from the Elixir Pavilion a few days ago, and spread it out to dry it to prevent mold.
Jiang Ze sat cross-legged in the practice field, put the refraction horizontally on his knees, and carefully rubbed the refraction.
If you don't explore the realm of the heart plate, it is no different from an ordinary standard long sword, and you can't detect the purple gold doped with the sword body, and it is expected that the purple gold content will not be too much.
There is a small scratch on the spine near the hilt.
The refractive sword is doped with purple gold, and ordinary weapons will not leave traces when they are rubbed, it should be the formation pattern carved by the failure of the formation master as mentioned by Uncle Duan.
Although it is a pity, if it is not for the failure of the formation carving, how can the refraction fall into his own hands.
"Xiao Yi, with my status, can I enter the Scripture Collector's Building to borrow classics?" Jiang Ze asked, there were many places in the Moon God Sect that he didn't have permission to enter, so he could only ask Xiao Yi first.
Jiang Ze wants to find out if there is a classic book on how to become a formation master, maybe there is a chance to repair the refraction?
"You can enter, but you can only read it on the first floor, and you can't take the classics out. Xiao Yi turned the medicinal herbs by herself, the sunlight baked some damp medicinal herbs, and the entire practice ground was filled with fragrance.
"Okay, then I'll go to the Tibetan Scripture Building, and I'll leave me alone for lunch. With that, Jiang Ze got up, put the sword in the back room, and went out to the scripture building located in Jingmu Peak.
With his previous understanding of the layout of the twenty-eight constellations of the Moon God Sect, Jiang Ze successfully found the Scripture Building.
In order to prevent the classics from being eaten by insects, the entire scripture building is built with agarwood, exuding a mild and refreshing fragrance.
Different from the busy and noisy Refining Pavilion, the Scripture Gallery Building is quiet and elegant.
If the Refining Pavilion is compared to a Northwest Han with a loud voice, then the Zangjing Building is a gentle Jiangnan woman.
Registration is also required to enter the scripture building, and the disciples who guard the door sit by the bookcase outside the door and read the books with relish.
"This..."Before Jiang Ze could speak, the disciple made a silent gesture towards him, glanced at the gold-bottomed cloud pattern on Jiang Ze's chest, took out the Inner Gate Sect Register and the pen and gently pushed it to him.
"Sign, no take-out, no upstairs. The disciple said softly.
Jiang Ze did as he was told, and then the disciple nodded, put away the register and continued to turn the book.
Perhaps infected by the atmosphere of the disciples, Jiang Ze gently pushed open the door of the scripture building, for fear of disturbing others, although there were many disciples inside, but only the rustle of the pages turned into his ears.
Directly opposite the door of the building is written a huge large letter--- quiet.
A brief map of the orientation of the first floor is posted below, and each bookshelf is classified and arranged according to the name, and drawn on the map one by one, so that children can find the target classics.
All the bookshelves were filled with books, in addition to cowhide rolls, parchment rolls, paper books, and even bundled with simple bamboo slips.
Jiang Ze followed the map, and after finding the "Xuandao Continent Atlas" in the apprenticeship area, he walked quickly to the bookshelf where the formation books were stored, and sure enough, he found the relevant books there.
"Brief Formation", "Elementary Formation Basics", "Formation Master, From Beginner to Mastery", "Introduction to Formation", etc.
Jiang Ze took out the two books "Elementary Formation Basics" and "Formation Master Carving, From Beginner to Mastery", and found a place where no one was to sit down, and the surrounding disciples didn't pay much attention to this newcomer, and each flipped through the books in their hands.
"Xuandao Continent Atlas", which records in great detail the division of power in the Xuandao Continent, the geographical distribution of each empire, climate and environment, jurisdiction, scenery and maps, etc.
Sandwiched in the book is a large brief map of the Xuandao Continent, the paper is yellowed, and countless unknown danger areas are marked on it, as well as the known forbidden areas of life, which are a hundred times more complex than the earth's environment.
After flipping through it several times, Jiang Ze memorized most of the information and imprinted the map inch by inch in his mind.
"Fundamentals of Primary Formations" mainly describes what a formation is, as well as the classification, use, and effect of the formation, such as gathering spirits, containing spirits, attacking, defending, concealment, phantom formations, and even summoning, etc., all of which are mentioned.
In the second part, we will talk about how to draw the formation, what kind of formation core is needed, how to form nodes, textures, and materials required.
The explanation of this book is very detailed, but it does not include a usable formation, which shows that the formation is scarce.
After reading "Elementary Formation Basics", it can be regarded as having a general understanding of the formation, Jiang Ze opened "Formation Master Carving, From Beginner to Mastery", which roughly described how to become a formation master from an ordinary disciple.
In short, it means that there are many resources invested, there are many materials for training, and the formation is familiar, and the true qi is condensed and controlled. There is no practical dry goods.
However, Jiang Ze turned to a primary spirit formation on the last page, and the book described in detail the formation start, the rules of carving, how to deal with nodes, and how to place spirit stones and treasures as the core.
The book emphasizes that there must not be the slightest deviation in the depiction of the formation, and the slightest mistake will be a thousand miles wrong.
So according to the book, there is no doubt that the refractory is a scrapped product.
Jiang Zezai carefully read through the three books several times, and memorized the original books by memory.
At this time, the Tibetan Scripture Building also rang the bell, and four or five hours passed before the aftertaste, and the Zangjing Building was closed for a quarter of an hour.
Jiang Ze put the book back in its place, although there were not many useful things in the book, but the detailed description of how to carve a qualified primary spirit formation was enough for him to get started.
Returning to the courtyard by moonlight, Jiang Ze went into the study, eager to try to carve the primary Yunling Array.
Suffering from the lack of practice materials, Jiang Ze had to spread a pile of kraft paper on the bookcase, and then took out the carved needle given by Uncle Duan, and started cold, and the tip of the needle was cold.
Jiang Ze slowly injected true qi, only to see the tip of the carved needle coming out of an inch, long and short, like a candle in the wind.
"That's not going to work. Jiang Ze shook his head, and now his control of true qi is still very immature. You can only practice diligently, at least to reach the level of subtlety.
The working principle of the carved needle is similar to that of a pencil, the material is carved into a dent with the edge of true qi, and the mythril of the needle core is also attached to the notch as the tip of the needle moves.
Jiang Ze suddenly remembered the method of practicing calligraphy taught him by his mother when he was a child, so he used his true qi to urge the carving needle to silently write on the kraft paper the two formation books he had read during the day.
I just stopped writing like this, and I don't know how many times the true qi dried up, until the fish belly white appeared in the east, and then I wrote one of them.
Jiang Ze put down the carved needle in his hand, and his right hand held a posture for a long time, and he was not flexible for a while.
Stretching with a wry smile, the morning breeze stirred the kraft paper and turned the pages and pages, the handwriting went from crooked and unrecognizable, to a little regular only occasionally scratched the paper, and then gradually became handy, and the last two pages could even write a few smaller numbers of neat fonts.
This is a true portrayal of the growth step by step, Jiang Ze manipulated the carved needle, and once again entered the true qi, only to see that the tip of the needle revealed a stable and straight air, like a part of the extension of the carved needle body, and the first practice is like two people.
As long as you continue to train like this until you can carve clearly visible characters on the rice grains, you can try to carve the formation on the brown paper!
