Chapter 224: Revising the Formation (Part II)

Liao Xingchen and the three of them hurriedly helped him up, and He Lianjun quipped: "Liang Daoyou, it's reasonable for you to call these two seniors, but they are much younger than you, and calling me a senior will make you suffer!"

Liang Sheng's face turned red suddenly, his cultivation was not as good as Helianjun, thinking that Helianjun was like Liao Xingchen and Yusuo, he was already an old-timer who had practiced for hundreds of years, but he didn't expect that he was younger than himself, and he made a joke. He hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Elder Helian is a teacher, of course, he is my senior. Not only is his cultivation much higher than mine, but even the realm of the Formation Dao is at a height that is difficult to reach below, but he can be called a senior. ”

His words made Helian Jun laugh, he didn't expect such a seemingly introverted person to be able to say such a thing, no wonder he could be like a fish in water in casual cultivation! With this cleverness, even if he was not able to join the Cultivation Federation, it was enough to make a name for himself in the rivers and lakes.

Yusu stroked his beard and smiled, "Okay, okay, Elder Helian don't tease Liangsheng." He is a thin-faced person, if he hadn't been a lot of old people in his early years, he would probably be laughed at by you, and he wouldn't be able to speak!"

"Hey, I didn't expect that Yusuo's predecessors and Liangsheng Daoyou still have such a relationship?" Liao Xingchen asked curiously.

Liang Sheng explained: "Many years ago, when I was a small Qi cultivation period cultivator, I accidentally met a senior Yusuo in a fang market, and thanks to the seniors' extra care and a lot of problems on the formation path, I was able to avoid being so depressed that I could not continue to practice. In this way, I have to bow to my seniors again and thank them for their careful teaching!"

Yu Su hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Okay, okay, if we continue like this, the others should say that we are wasting time!" Liang Sheng, you go and continue to explain your thoughts, there are still many people waiting to listen below!"

Only then did Liang Sheng continue to explain to the people below: "Fellow Daoists, I am just an ordinary monk, if it weren't for the addition of Yusuo's predecessors, I might not even have figured out the basic structure of the formation by now. Now the three seniors have given me this opportunity, let me show my own ideas, I dare not hide my secrets, I would like to give you a little idea of mine. ”

Then, he said: "My idea is actually very simple, I found that these two formations should actually be classified as one formation, not according to the traditional classification of birth, gathering, sleepiness, illusion, etc., but according to the distribution law of the core formation. For example, in this Great Array of Transforming Spirits into Pills, the array of thirty-six array eyes is distributed in nine places, four in each place, which are due east, south, west, north, southeast, northeast, southwest, northwest and nine in the center. The Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array has sixteen array eyes, five of which are distributed in the southeast, south, and northwest, and only one in the center of the separate one, which is also in line with the five elements. Therefore, these two large arrays are in harmony with the five elements, so I think they belong to the same formation, but the functions shown are different, and the core principles are actually similar. ”

The array mages present nodded, but agreed with him, there are many ways to distinguish the original formation, and the function is the simplest, but it also causes too many categories, and there are many complex large formations that do not only have one function, so it is difficult to divide which formation it belongs to. The other divisions are similar to this functional division, with various flaws. If there is a simple and straightforward division method that can have not so many shortcomings, then it will definitely be sought after by the array mages and will definitely benefit them.

Then, Liang Sheng said: "Everyone, I am only a shallow learner, and I have not seen as many formations as you, so it is really difficult for me to come up with this division method, and I still have to rely on you to solve it." Speaking of my suggestion, that is, since these two kinds of big arrays can be classified as the same category, doesn't it mean that the two can be interconnected? That's why I suggested that a few seniors might as well cut down the complicated and simplify, simplify the two big arrays, and then combine them together to produce a new big array, wouldn't it be possible to take into account the advantages of both? But it's still the same sentence, I just pat my head and come up with this idea, and I still have to ask you to correct it!"

A monk with a great axe pinned to his waist shouted hello, like a woodcutter more than a formation mage. He said: "What this Liangsheng Daoist said is exactly what he has been thinking for many years! When Xia first learned the way of formation from his master, he couldn't understand the classification of formations for several months, and finally memorized it by rote. Moreover, I have studied the way of formation for many years, and there are many categories that I can't learn at all, but I can understand many categories at all. If there had been such a classification method earlier, maybe one or two of them would not have been achieved in vain!"

This reckless man's statement has been agreed by most people, after all, not all people have special talents, they can learn complex formation knowledge and can also understand it, most people's qualifications are still ordinary, and learning one or two of them is already the limit. However, the original traditional method of classification by function, if you learn only one, it will inevitably lead to a situation that can only deal with very few, such as a type of phantom array, if there is only one kind of phantom array, once others break your phantom array, will the monk have to wait for death?

Although Liao Xingchen and the others have excellent qualifications, they have no way to deal with such a situation, after all, their thinking has been imprisoned by such a classification method, and they cannot innovate again.

Yu Qi was listening next to him, and felt that it was better to ask Qin Guan about such a situation, so he came to Qin Guan's side and asked. Qin Guan took the time to listen for a while, and said casually: "This is very simple, it is better to divide it according to the number of array eyes! Less is naturally easy, more is naturally difficult, and the complex large array is almost more than ten array eyes, the simple ones are only three or five, and some are even only one." In this way, let those who are not qualified learn the easy ones, and let those who are strong in the formation path qualifications learn the more difficult ones. ”

Yu Qi thought about it, but it was also the same truth. Although he didn't know too much about the formation, he had also learned a lot of the Sancai Formation in the Sanqing Palace, and naturally knew that there must be very few simple formations, and for those of them who did not have formation qualifications, it was also easy to learn a few. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Qin Guan's words were enlightening, and he rushed back to the formation mage and told Qin Guan's words to Liao Xingchen and the others.

Then, he said, "Elder Liao, do you think the palace master's words are reasonable? ”

Liao Xingchen, Helian Jun and Yu Su lowered their heads and pondered for a while, and then said with a smile: "The palace master really deserves to be the palace master, this method of division is really good." It's easy and convenient, and it's not hard for everyone to accept it. From simple to difficult, it is divided by the number of formations, and the functions of a type of formation are not too repetitive. ”

However, Helianjun said: "Senior brother's method is good, but there is still a drawback. Of course, if you distinguish by the number of formations, you can well understand the difficulty of the formation, but when it comes to extremely complex formations, they are all grouped together, and it seems not so standardized!"

At this time, Yu Su stroked his long hair and said with a smile: "Palace Master Qin's words have awakened the old man, since the number of array eyes can be used as a method to divide the types, isn't it also possible to divide the distribution form of the array eyes?

Liao Xingchen and He Lianjun nodded their heads one after another, but Yu Qi on the side was at a loss and said, "Several, I still haven't understood, how can it be a method of classification?"

Liao Xingchen explained to Yu Qi: "The meaning of Yusuo's predecessors is to divide it by the area where the array eyes are distributed, one array eye is a category, two are a category, and three are a category...... And so on, all the way up to the nine array eyes are in the same category. Do you understand?"

Yu Qi suddenly realized at this time, and said: "I see! This is really simple!" After all, judging from the array diagram, it is very simple to see how many areas the array eye distributes, and it is easy to distinguish the categories.

"But this division can be put aside later, and we have the next colleague to come to the stage to tell his proposal. Liao Xingchen said.

Then, the wind came forward, ready to start talking about his thoughts. As his name suggests, Naruto is the one who walks with a tiger-like and heroic appearance, and he speaks straight up: "Everyone, I am the wind and the wind." I still have to thank a few seniors for their vigorous promotion of me, so that I can relax in front of my colleagues. My idea is very simple, my view of this Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array is still too difficult, and it may not be enough for you colleagues to arrange it. Wouldn't it be easier if it was split into five kinds of small formations? Moreover, Fang Cai Daoist also said that when he was studying the formation path, there were often situations where he failed to catch the force, and if he split it into five simpler formations, it would definitely be able to greatly reduce such situations!" His speech was very concise, just like his movements, indescribably capable. However, his suggestion went further than Liang Sheng's, not only to combine the two formations, but also to split the five elements of the Spirit Gathering Array into a single spiritual power Spirit Gathering Array, and then combine them, the effect may be more obvious. And if something goes wrong, it won't stop the entire Spirit Gathering Array, stop one of them alone, and the rest of the small arrays can continue to operate, reducing the cost of maintenance.

Liao Xingchen then asked Yusuo to come forward and summarize, after all, his formation cultivation was not as good as Yusuo's, and most of the array mages present were scattered cultivators, if he, a monk from the Sanqing Palace, was too ostentatious, lest he would disgust everyone.

Yu Su didn't refuse, he also knew what Liao Xingchen meant, and said: "Everyone, the old man has been immersed in the formation path for many years, and I don't know how many times I have experienced the gathering of the formation mages, but this time makes me feel quite deeply!

"I think everyone can also understand that the platform provided to us by the Cultivation Federation is not only able to practice with peace of mind, but also to promote each other's understanding of the formation path. The old man is almost 800 years old, and it is the first time he has experienced such a thing. ”

Everyone said that it was okay, and what the predecessors of Yusuo said was exactly what we thought in our hearts.

Then Yusuo summarized the suggestions of the previous two: "Liang Sheng and Feng Ziming said that the old man has already thought deeply, and it is indeed a good way. The combination of the two is the best way for us to solve the problem of Gangfeng now. However, the old man also knew that your formation cultivation was uneven, and it would definitely be unfair to assign you the same amount of work. In this way, let's work out the classification method of this formation for the time being, and we don't ask others to abide by it, as long as we divide it within the Cultivation Federation. In this way, we can also understand each other, who has reached what level, and who is responsible for which level of work?"

Seeing that there was no objection from the crowd, Yu Su continued: "Since there is no objection, let's talk about it now, how should this name be decided?"

When Yu Qi heard Yu Su say this, he jumped back to Qin Guan's side, told Qin Guan what had happened, and then said: "Palace Master, Elder Liao and Elder Helian feel that this name still has to let our Sanqing Palace come, and it is good to make a name for himself in the Cultivation Alliance, and it will be beneficial to our Sanqing Palace in the future!

Qin Guan shook his head and said with a smile: "Little thing, I can tell you one of them, you go and give Elder Liao and Elder Helian a return." ”

Many array mages have said a lot of things in one word, but they are all difficult to satisfy everyone, and they have reached a stalemate. Fortunately, at this time, Liao Xingchen spoke: "Everyone, my palace master has a saying, which sounds good below, how about you listen to it?"

Everyone still has to give Qin Guan face, after all, he is a Yuanying cultivator, and the difference between his cultivation and theirs is too great, and it is difficult to achieve in this life.

Liao Xingchen said: "My palace master said, since it is from one to nine, and the way of the formation also corresponds to the way of heaven, why don't you use one yuan, two yi, three talents, four elephants, five elements, six combinations, seven stars, eight trigrams, nine palaces, and ten directions?" Moreover, this statement secretly corresponds to a trace of heaven and earth, and it can fully express the principle of different formations, which is indeed a very perfect choice. Therefore, the formation mages of the Xiulian have agreed to this division method, which is called the formation list, and also included many formation diagrams from everyone for everyone to study.
