Chapter 21 Arrangement of Formations
Shan Liang didn't know that his words caused a burst of exclamations among the people in Ouchi, and many people said that this was a lion who opened his mouth and thought that he was playing tricks, and only a few people who knew about the Xuantan were seriously thinking about the feasibility of this matter, and the head was one of them.
Shan Liang returned to the hotel After three days of preparation, the branches of the metaphysical associations of various provinces across the country finally arrived. The Xuanmen Conference officially kicked off, this time into Beijing Shan Liang but in this conference to see a lot of Shan Liang has visited, discussed together and Shan Liang has helped some people, these people have a very good impression of Shan Liang have taken the initiative to come forward to say hello, which makes the people of the Lu Provincial Branch see the broad communication of Shan Liang in the metaphysical world.
This is the first time that Shan Liang has participated in this kind of national Xuanmen conference, adhering to the principle of listening more, watching more, At the beginning of the principle of less talking, he was still full of interest and thought that there would be a scene where everyone would talk about the Tao, but after two days he was completely disappointed, there was no academic exchange, there was just the personnel arrangement of the branch of the Metaphysical Association of a certain province, what results were achieved, the construction of people's spiritual civilization and so on and Shan Liang thought that the scene of the Xuanmen Exchange Conference was really boring, but it was the discussion with some acquaintances of the Xuanmen Zhenxiu during the break of the meeting that made Shan Liang even more happy.
As for what the old Taoist of Xuantan said, Shan Liang didn't take it to heart, until the night before the end of the Xuanmen Conference, the commissioner Ouyang Qi came to the hotel where Shan Liang was staying and found Shan Liang and brought Ouchi's reply.
"Shan Liang Xiaoyou, I came today to negotiate with you on behalf of Ouchi to calculate the national fortune, I don't know what preparations Shan Xiaoyou needs to make besides the jade that he said with the predecessors of Xuantan?"
"In addition to 1,825 pieces of jade, a large amount of chicken blood and cinnabar are also needed to depict the formation, chicken blood is not easy to preserve or prepare live chickens, about three hundred or so, and three hundred and sixty-five fully armed elite soldiers are needed, it is best to see the kind of blood with real knives and live ammunition, and I also need the help of the predecessors of the Xuantan for other Xuanmen magic weapons." In terms of location, I want to set it up at the Temple of Heaven, which is the time of the Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of the lunar calendar. Shan Liang said with a deep groan.
"Since there are so many things to prepare, and there is still more than a month until the Double Ninth Festival, it is not very convenient for Shan Xiaoyou to live here, it is better to live in the Taoist temple of the special office like this, what can I discuss with the predecessors of Xuantan, I don't know what Shan Xiaoyou means?" Ouyang Qi asked tentatively.
"Since that's the case, then I'll talk to Wang Ning Branch President and rush there immediately. Hearing Ouyang Qi's words, Shan Liang knew that this was an inevitable result, and if he continued to live outside, he would be a little out of the line, in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of others, so Shan Liang readily agreed.
The days of living in a special office are not boring, there are a large number of Taoist treasures here, and there is nothing to do after obtaining the consent of the Xuantan Shan Liang is like a hungry person falling into endless deliciousness, although the Xuantan practice for nearly a hundred years can not go further in terms of cultivation to now it is almost dry, but his nearly 100 years of knowledge is still very material, so Shan Liang reads the Taoist collection in his spare time, and discusses with the Xuantan when he has questions, which makes Shan Liang feel a little happy.
Ouyang Qi saw that Shan Liang quickly adapted to life here, and he never left in and out at will, nor did he make any excessive demands, and every day he either looked through the Taoist treasure or discussed with the Xuantan, which was really comfortable, which made Ouyang Qi feel a lot more relieved and concentrate on preparing for the calculation of the national fortune.
After getting along with Shan Liang for a period of time, Xuantan Ancestor knew that this Shan Liang did have real talent and learning, not only an extremely deep understanding of Taoism but also a great understanding of some ancient secrets. When asked about the origin of these secrets, Shan Liang said that he had received some inheritances, and it was on these traditions that he saw these secretions. In fact, it's really the case, the secrets unique to Shan Liang will not be easily spoken, and what can be said is from those inheritances, these are traces to follow and are not afraid of people checking, and Xuantan also knows that Shan Liang has been inherited, so he can only listen to it.
A month passed quickly, at least Shan Liang, who was immersed in the Daozang, felt that the time of this month passed quickly, there was still one day before the Double Ninth Festival, and the time to calculate the national fortune had arrived, in the past three days, Shan Liang let go of the immersive Daozang and began to fast for three days, and on the afternoon of the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, Shan Liang walked out of the room and was taken to the Temple of Heaven by Ouyang Qi, who was in charge of the matter.
It was already seven o'clock in the afternoon when the single beam arrived at the Temple of Heaven, at which time the Temple of Heaven had been emptied, and it would be closed to the public tomorrow in the name of large-scale overhaul.
When you come to the main hall, this will be the place where the Great Array of the Five Elements of the Heavenly Machine will be arranged, some Xuanmen magic weapons that will be used tomorrow, a cage of roosters waiting to be slaughtered, boxes of jade that have been processed, and the three hundred and sixty-five elite soldiers who are loyal to guard the jade.
After handing over to the officer leading the team, the officer leading the team hesitated for a moment and asked uncomfortably, "This gentleman, I don't know how we cooperate with you?"
Shan Liang said in a flat tone: "Later, I will arrange each of you to the corresponding position according to your height, and mark it after all are arranged, so that you can rest first, and you will help me kill chickens and collect blood around dawn tomorrow, and you must see blood on every bayonet, by the way, are you all equipped with bayonets? There are also guns to be loaded with live ammunition." ”
"You can rest assured that the bayonets are all equipped and the guns are also standard live ammunition to ensure that there will be no mistakes in this mission!"
"That's fine. After Shan Liang finished saying this, he thought about it and turned his head to Ouyang Qi on the side and said: "If I can, I hope that the leader will come here tomorrow when I get up the altar, because the timeliness of this big array is only one hour, that is, two hours, just in case, if there is any abnormal situation, I will report to the leader in time." ”
After Ouyang Qi heard Shan Liang's words, he reported to the leader.
Seeing Ouyang Qi leave Shan Liang and looked at the time, this delay was already eight o'clock in the evening, so he found an officer to let the soldiers line up, and the Zhou Tian position on the periphery Shan Liang had already been prepared, according to the height of the soldiers, Shan Liang arranged the position where these people stood one by one, and marked it. I have to say that the quality of the soldiers in Huaxia is high, and the order and prohibition are quite good, there is no nonsense, there is no why, let you stand there and stand there. This saved Shan Liang a lot of effort, and it had been arranged in about an hour and a half, and after these soldiers were disbanded, Ouyang Qi walked over, "I have communicated with the leader, and the leader will arrive here on time at four o'clock tomorrow morning, but the leader has a request, I don't know if it can be in the main hall?"
"It would be better if it was in the main hall, so that I could communicate with the head in a timely manner. Shan Liang thought for a while and said. The reason why this Temple of Heaven is in this Temple of Heaven is to use the remnants of the imperial spirit of the past dynasty, and now there is no emperor and there is no imperial spirit, but Ouchi is most closely connected with the national fortune, especially the leader, and the calculation of a single beam by his side is more accurate.
Move the jade to the main hall according to the position and number of these jade piles in a small pile to facilitate the use of tomorrow's array, this process also shocked Shan Liang, close to two thousand pieces of all kinds of jade put together almost made Shan Liang dazzled, especially the heaven and earth Lingqi contained in these jades gathered together, so that Shan Liang a little back to the sense of déjà vu.
Once the artifact is in place, the preparations are complete. Shan Liang will not return to the Taoist temple tonight, and will meditate and rest in the main hall. Ouyang Qi, as the person in charge, saw that Shan Liang was not good at going home, so he could only accompany him to meditate here, but in less than half an hour, his legs were numb like his own, and he could only move slowly to relieve it, Shan Liang heard the movement and said: "You can get up and walk, it's normal to not get used to it at first." ”
"What about Shan Xiaoyou, why are you okay. Seeing that the single beam was not moving like the wind, Ouyang Qi couldn't help but ask. "I'm rarely sleeping now, and I've been used to meditating instead of sleeping for rest. If you can't do it, let's go to the tent outside, I think the officer seems to have set up a tent for us. ”
"Oh, well, then I'd better go sleep in a tent, I'm not as good as a young man when I'm older. Hearing Shan Liang say that there was a spare tent, Ouyang Qi went to sleep in the tent.
With Ouyang Qi leaving, the hall fell into silence again, and Shan Liang was happy to be quiet and closed his eyes to rest.
At three o'clock in the morning, Shan Liang opened his eyes, got up and tidied up a little, picked up the cinnabar grinding on the side, and the water dilution began to draw on the ground in the hall, at this time the outside of the hall also began to be lively, after the washing was completed, the chicken was caught, the knife was sharpened, just waiting for the single beam to open, these hundreds of roosters will see blood.
In the main hall, after Shan Liang drew the base of the Five Elements Array with cinnabar, he placed the jade in the corresponding position, and after doing this, he passed the word outside to kill chickens and take blood, at this time Ouyang Qi walked to the door of the main hall and looked at Shan Liang standing in the dense lines and said softly: "The head has arrived." "Then please come in. Shan Liang said as he adjusted the position of the jade. After speaking, it felt a little wrong, and when I looked up, I saw that the head was standing at the door of the main hall and said with a smile: "Comrade Shan Liang, how can I get in here?" After speaking, he pointed to the dense lines on the ground.
Shan Liang couldn't help but scratch his head in embarrassment when he saw the formation base pointed by the leader and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot, wait a minute." After speaking, Shan Liang ran the internal force to infuse his legs and then jumped to the door of the main hall, this move made the two people present stunned, Shan Liang just stood nearly twelve or thirteen meters away from the door, just jumped over? Is it that I didn't wake up or went to the wrong place, the two thought.
Shan Liang walked to the leader's side and said respectfully: "Hello leader, it really shouldn't be so hard to work the leader so early, it has to be done, please don't be surprised by the leader." Hearing Shan Liang's words, the head still had a smile on his face, "It's all work, it's not hard, it's not hard, I'm ......" but without waiting for the head to finish speaking, Shan Liang grabbed the head and jumped back, placing the head in the center and sitting on the futon, and didn't look at the wry smile on the leader's face. Shan Liang turned his head to Ouyang Qi and said, "Take blood, let them hurry up!"
After about ten minutes, a basin of chicken blood was sent into the hall, a large amount of chicken blood made the hall full of blood, and the single beam painted the chicken blood on the base of the formation, after nearly an hour, all the base of the formation was painted, only to wait for the single beam to rise to the altar at this time it was half past five in the morning.
After drawing the single beam of the formation base, he returned to the center and sat down on the futon opposite the leader, looked at him and said solemnly: "I was really embarrassed just now, I hope the head doesn't mind if the time is pressing." ”
The head looked around at the various lines painted on the ground of the entire hall and the five jade stones between the two of them, and asked curiously, "What are the functions of these five?"
