Xuan Lingzi couldn't cry or laugh, this little disciple was so detached, he was really not suitable for cultivation. Fortunately, he is not specialized in Taoism, I hope he can calm down in the formation path.

He said to Cheng Ling: "Ling'er, cultivation pays attention to concentrating and calming down, entering meditation, stopping thoughts, listening to breathing, and sightseeing, if you can't achieve the convergence of your mind, the path of cultivation will definitely not be able to go far, and your achievements will be limited!"

Cheng Ling grinned, he also knew that he was lively by nature, but it was difficult to be quiet. However, he was not very interested in monasticism, so he didn't care about the future.

When Xuan Lingzi looked at his face, he knew that he hadn't listened, so he could only sigh secretly and said, "That's the case, then as a teacher, let's pass on your formation path first! But cultivation is fundamental, and only when my generation of monks has achieved something in cultivation can they increase their lifespan and gain immortality!"

Cheng Ling was unmoved, for him, immortality was nothing remarkable. To be born is to suffer on earth. He also knows the thoughts of Taoism, mostly indifferent to fame and fortune, and inaction, since this is the case, then vain pursuit of immortality is not also obsessed.

However, he didn't say these thoughts to Xuan Lingzi, the two had different concepts, and he didn't want to forcibly change them, so he responded indifferently: "Yes, master!"

Xuan Lingzi asked, "Yesterday, my teacher asked you to participate in the Enlightenment Array Dao book, what did you choose?"

"Basic formation. ”

"Okay, but what do you know?"

Cheng Ling was stunned for a moment, then thought about it. But as soon as he thought about it, he found that the content he had read was engraved in his mind, and although there were some things he didn't understand, it was very clear. He was secretly surprised, when did my memory become so strong? Could it be that I was struck by lightning and still have a bonus?

He said: "As mentioned in the book, with the permutations and combinations of the stars, the five elements, the eight trigrams, the nine palaces, etc., find the corresponding positions and nodes to arrange the images, and borrow the power of heaven and earth to resist the enemy, which is usually divided into three categories: phantom array, trapped array, and killing array. ”

Xuan Lingzi nodded, this explanation was summarized very incisively, obviously he saw the basic theory of the formation path very thoroughly, and asked, "What questions do you have?"

Cheng Ling scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Master, I don't understand astrology, gossip, and the ...... of the Nine Palaces!"

"......" Xuan Lingzi almost turned his back on him, and he couldn't help but wonder if it was because Shouyuan was approaching, and he had lost his vision of seeing people. After pondering for a long time, he asked, "Then how can you disassemble those formation methods?"

"I didn't disassemble it?" Cheng Ling wondered, seeing Xuan Lingzi's face, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he understood. Then he said, "Master, are you talking about the arrangement of those little sticks?"

"That's right, the change in your pair arrangement on the day is actually the change of the direction of the nodes in the formation path, which is very familiar to you!"

......Those changes are very simple and easy, but the disciple has not studied the astrological signs, the eight trigrams, the nine palaces, or so on, and only knows the five elements. ”

"Oh?" Xuan Lingzi raised his eyebrows and asked, "You mean you can easily see through those changes, but you don't understand the stars, gossip, and the nine palaces?"

"Yes!"

Xuan Lingzi breathed a sigh of relief, this is good, presumably he is still young, and no one teaches these things, and the foundation of the theory can still be cultivated. He then said, "Then the teacher will teach you the eight trigrams, the nine palaces and other directions now, and as for the stars, we will observe them together at night." ”

After speaking, he stretched out his index finger, drew a gossip on the ground, and began to explain.

Cheng Ling was startled when he saw that he easily drew a gossip figure on the stone. Secretly said: "Obediently, this is a stone, just such a finger has made so many marks in the air, the master is really the real material!

After a while, Xuan Lingzi was also happy. Because of those obscure gossip directions, he can completely remember Cheng Ling as soon as he talks about it, and he doesn't need to go through it a second time at all, and he finishes all the 64 hexagrams in less than half an hour.

I asked him a few more questions, and they were all answered fluently, and the scores were exactly right. Xuan Lingzi was very determined, and began to explain the Nine Palaces and the stars again, he originally wanted to let Cheng Ling have an intuitive feeling at night, but now that he is learning quickly, he will talk about it first.

One old and one young, just teach seriously on the side of the cliff. Xuan Lingzi thoroughly explained the yin and yang, three talents, four elephants, five elements, six combinations, seven stars, eight trigrams, nine palaces, etc. in the basic formation.

After finishing this, the sun and moon rose, and the stars in the night sky appeared. Xuan Lingzi began to let Cheng Ling memorize the arrangement and direction of the stars.

Cheng Ling also learns very quickly, anyway, he will remember everything after reading it once. It's just that I can't bear to start gurgling in my stomach again, and when I get to the back, I yawn again and again, and I am hungry and sleepy!

He said to Xuan Lingzi: "Master, the disciple is hungry and sleepy, let's come here first today, can you give me another belly-filling pill?"

Xuan Lingzi was helpless, seeing that he had returned to his lazy appearance, thinking that he had also understood the "Basic Formation" thoroughly this day, he could only throw down a pill and let him go back!

In this way, Cheng Ling settled down in the Taoist temple on the top of the Jintang Mountain. Every morning, Xuan Lingzi would wake him up and teach him four hours of Qi refining cultivation, and the rest of the time would be used to teach the formation.

But as soon as four hours passed each time, Cheng Ling began to cheat, saying that she was illegally employing child labor, and strongly demanded that her working hours be shortened. And in the morning, I decided not to get up early, I had to wait until the last moment of the hour to get up, and I had to take a nap in the middle.

Xuan Lingzi was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him, but Cheng Ling was righteous. Speaking of the stage before the age of eighteen is the stage of his own body, he must maintain sufficient sleep and rich nutrition, and sneered at his daily diet with pills, and strongly demanded to improve his diet!

Xuan Lingzi was furious, Lao Tzu only has five years to live, how can he have time to wait until your kid grows to eighteen years old. Under the toughness, he pulled out a willow branch and beat him all over the ground. But this kid is really tough, and he didn't say a word.

The next day, he was even more lazy, and directly said that he was seriously injured, and his mind and body were seriously injured by the stick education, and if he did not improve, he would be fired.

God is pitiful, Xuan Lingzi lived to be eight hundred or five years old, I have only heard of the master going out of the disciple, and I have not seen the disciple fry the master's squid, although I don't know what the squid is, but in short, it will not be a good thing that comes out of this kid's mouth!

He could only compromise and let him be lazy in bed for three days before he was willing to cultivate again. It's okay now, you can't fight, and the scolding is not Cheng Ling's opponent, Xuan Lingzi is like a mouse pulling a turtle, and I really don't know where to start.

In the end, in desperation, he bargained for a day, and only then did he agree that the daily working hours were six hours, four hours for cultivation, and two hours for learning formations. The remaining six hours were at his disposal, and he had no right to dispose of his beak.

In this way, Cheng Ling is happy. A lot of time is at his disposal, and in less than a few days, he has fully familiarized the terrain on the top of the mountain, and he has also found a lot of wild vegetables and some small animals on the mountain, and he does not lose two meals a day. As for breakfast, he was still tryst with Zhou Gong!

And the pattern is renovated, spring bamboo shoots, lichens, bitter herbs, bellflowers, hares, mice, knowing, earth dragons, etc. are all collected by him, plus stir-fried, stewed, barbecued, fried, and so on.

It's really a shame that he opened a restaurant when he started his business, and for this reason, he also took the chef certificate, and then renovated a kitchen in the Taoist temple, and the two meals every day were full of aroma, and even Xuan Lingzi looked at it and rolled his throat!

However, in this way, his cultivation progress was too slow. After half a year, the qi refining cultivation has not yet reached the first level, but fortunately, the formation path talent is extremely high, and the formation path experience taught by Xuan Lingzi is all memorized, and the formation grade has also reached the first grade.

For half a year, he also often went down to play with Su Rui, and some of the disciples in the battle hall became acquainted. Although those disciples looked down on his cultivation, who let him be the only disciple accepted by Xuan Lingzi, and he could only be vain and wrongful on weekdays.

On this day, he barely cultivated for three hours, and then he felt really depressed, and remembered that he hadn't seen Su Rui for almost ten days, so he simply got up, and didn't participate in the formation anymore, and went straight down to the top of the mountain to find Su Rui!

Xuan Lingzi is also turning a blind eye to him now, no longer supervising every day, and only assesses the progress every few days. Thinking of his lazy temperament, he could only comfort himself by saying that he was still young and undecided, and that he might get better in two years.

Cheng Ling descended to the top of the mountain, and as soon as he walked to the platform area on the lower side, he saw Su Rui and several disciples walking down the mountain laughing. He hurriedly hurried a few steps, chased after him, and asked, "Su Rui, where are so many of you going to go?"

When Su Rui saw Cheng Ling, he was also happy, so he said: "A few senior brothers plan to go to the Fang Market under the mountain, I have never been there, and I want to go with me to see it." ”

Cheng Ling suddenly came to his senses, and said: "Then take me with you, I have never been before, just go to the world for a long time!"

The disciples at the head didn't care when they heard this, and a group of people went straight to the fang market at the bottom of the mountain.

The Fang Market under Wuxiang Mountain is also just a place of exchange established by the Wuxiang Sword Sect and several major families. It is not open every day, and it is only open three times a month, a bit like the meaning of a temple fair, and Cheng Ling has also heard the disciples of the formation hall talk about it before.

It's just to stay at the top of the mountain all day, after all, it's boring, and there is such a chance to go out and breathe, so it's good to spice up, and by the way, see what interesting things or ingredients are in the city.

As a disciple of Xuan Lingzi, Cheng Ling has a very high status in the array hall, and he can receive ten lower-grade spirit stones every month. This is already very high, and the other Array Hall disciples only have the amount of five yuan per month.

As for Su Rui, he has just become a formal disciple, and his cultivation and formation path are both in their infancy, and coupled with their limited talents, they can only get one low-grade spirit stone every month.

Now that half a year has passed, Cheng Ling has no place to spend on her daily life, so she just went to Fang Market to have a look and recharge a big sum. As a result, he was in such high spirits that he was able to walk a little faster than before.
