Chapter 16: Conflict
After Qianxue and Qiu Xin refined the seven-star spirit weapon, they returned to the issue of materials that could produce aura. Their previous method was too crude, and it took a lot of heat to get a trace of aura, which was obviously not cost-effective. To this end, they began to find ways to optimize, and in the process, they discovered a new problem.
Keeping the material still and stimulating the movement of the light points inside can produce an aura. The point of light itself is also a substance, what happens if you keep the point of light still and excite the point of light inside the point of light to move?
At the thought of this, both of them were excited, thinking that they had discovered a new world, and they devoted themselves to infinite research.
One day, when Qianxue was drawing a formation diagram, she encountered an arithmetic problem. She didn't care, she picked up a piece of paper and calculated, she had encountered a lot of such problems, and she was confident to solve it.
Suddenly, a chuckle came:
"I took you to get started, I never thought that you would start doing arithmetic problems, could it be that you will become a teacher in the future?"
Qianxue looked up, but it was Senior Sister Shu Yun. She hurriedly got up and said, "Senior sister, why are you here?"
"If it weren't for Master's orders, do you think I would come?"
"Master?" Qianxue became more and more inexplicable.
"Yes, Master, she is hiding behind the scenes, but she asked me to come forward, so unreasonable. Shu Yun said.
Seeing that Qianxue was puzzled, Shu Yun said: "Master asked me to persuade you, don't be obsessed with these low-end skills of the formation, our monks cultivate the heart and the Tao." You quickly promise not to study the formation again, and I will go back to the errand. ”
At this moment, Qianxue realized the taste of being managed, and the boss in her heart was not happy. Hearing that Senior Sister was disdainful of the formation she had painstakingly studied, she was a little angry and said, "Senior Sister, you once said that there are 330,000, why can't I enter the Dao with the formation?"
Shu Yun looked at Qianxue seriously, and suddenly found that she was no longer the girl who obeyed her, and now she had grown into a big girl, no wonder she dared to contradict her.
So, she decided to get to the heart of the matter:
"The 330,000 Tao refers to the fact that each person is different, and the cultivation method is also different, but the different paths lead to the same end, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than the word 'forget'. It's good for you not only not to forget, but also to study deeply, isn't it against the fundamentals of Taoism?"
It was the first time for Qianxue to listen to her senior sister's teachings, and it was completely opposite to what Old Man Lin taught. Old man Lin asked her to ask why she was in trouble, and she didn't stop until she fully understood. The senior sister let her forget, it's really strange.
"Isn't the purpose of cultivating the Tao to exhaustively study the principle of the evolution of things, if you forget to forget, if you forget the Tao, then it is bad. ”
"The sages said: There are no tricks in life, only good forgetfulness. Our Taoist cultivators only have one word for 'forgetting', if you don't forget, you will cling, and if you can forget, you will lose; if you can forget, you will be empty, and if you are empty, you will gain. Therefore, forgetting what is there is and thinking that there is nothing, forgetting the Dharma and thinking that there is nothing, forgetting the Dharma and forgetting the Tao as the Tao, and forgetting everything is the same. If you are obsessed with the path of formation, you must not forget your knowledge and wisdom, how can you attain the realm of nothingness?"
Qianxue only felt ridiculous, pointed to the wooden bed and said: "This bed is real, don't you forget it, it doesn't exist?"
"If you don't forget this bed, your heart will move, and your heart will move, so you can enter the Tao if you are hurt both inside and outside?"
Qianxue didn't know how to refute for a while, and she was in a hurry, worried that she would be under the control of her senior sister from now on and would no longer be able to study the formation. Thinking about it, he suddenly had an idea, and said: "Senior sister is useless no matter how much she says, if you can break the formation I laid out within three days, I will believe it." ”
"Three days? Shu Yun chuckled, "Okay, let you see and understand, as long as your so-called formation can trap me for a moment, I will lose, and I will no longer care about you from now on." ”
Qianxue originally wanted her senior sister to break her seven-star array in three days, which was already a bit of a bully, waiting for her senior sister to bargain with her, you must know that she was familiar with the principle of the seven-star array, and she went to break it in person, but she was also trapped for more than ten days, not to mention outsiders?
I never thought that the senior sister's tone was ridiculously loud, and the implication was that there was no formation that could trap her for a moment in the world.
She was thinking about it, and then she heard her senior sister say: "What is the right time and place for your formation, I will give you three days to choose a place to set up the formation, is it enough?"
"Enough, enough. Qianxue responded stupidly.
After Shu Yun left, Qianxue found Qiu Xin and told her about the bet. The two went to Old Man Lin's cave mansion together to ask for an idea, and after arriving, they found that Lin Chengyi was also there.
After hearing about Qianxue and Qingzhu's bet, Old Man Lin blew his beard and glared, and said angrily: "Don't worry, it took the old man nearly thirty years for this seven-star array to be successfully arranged. Even if Qingzhu comes to break it in person, it won't take a month or two to come up. ”
Qiu Xin accosted on the side and said: "Yes, I look at that Qingzhu disdainful of the formation, it can be seen that its formation level is also very limited, Qianxue is just blindly worried." ”
Qian Xue was still uneasy, and said, "Senior Sister was full of confidence when she made a bet, could it be that she would have some powerful spells?"
At this time, Lin Chengyi said: "The more powerful the spell, the longer it will take to cast it, and it can be regarded as blocking for a while, but it's just ......."
"Okay, since the level is limited, you can't cast spells. It seems that we are in a safe place, so we don't have to worry about it at all. Qiu Xin interrupted.
Old Man Lin continued: "Yes, even if the Demon Sect Holy Maiden comes to break it in person, she still needs to cast a spell. If the old man can't stop others for a moment after studying the formation for decades, what else can I do with the formation?"
"Don't talk too much, old man. Lin Chengyi pursed his lips, "Do you know what happened after the Demon Sect Holy Maiden was seriously injured and retreated?"
"What's the matter?" all three asked in unison.
"I heard that after she was seriously injured by Qingzhu, she returned to the sect to collect all kinds of elixirs to heal her wounds, but it had no effect, although she barely lived for a few more decades, her cultivation was no longer an inch, and she died a few years ago. It can be seen that the cultivation of green bamboo is unfathomable, and it is beyond my generation's guess. ”
Qiu Xin snorted and said, "What's the matter, no matter how powerful she is, if she can't use spells, how can she break the formation?"
"Old man, have you thought about it?" Lin Chengyi ignored Qiu Xin and said to Old Man Lin, "If this so-called Seven Star Array is really easily broken by Qingzhu, can you bear it?" In my opinion, since the matter was provoked by that girl, let her arrange the formation by herself to deal with it, why use any Seven Star Array?"
Qianxue was stunned, but when she thought about it carefully, it was not bad at all, this was a gambling fight between her and her senior sister, there was no reason to involve others to come in, but how could she arrange a powerful formation for a while?
Qiu Xin on the side saw that Qianxue was silent, and said angrily: "What a joke! Old man, if you don't dare to show up in front of people after studying the formation for decades, you might as well give up early." ”
Lin Chengyi's face sank, looked at Qiu Xin, and said, "Stinky girl, what do you know? It would be good if the formation could be used to deal with middle and lower-level monks, but what kind of person is Qingzhu? She is a man of the wind who shakes the mountain!"
Seeing that Qiu Xin was about to say more, acting into a tense situation, Old Man Lin said loudly: "Okay! Don't say anything." Or Mo Yatou is reasonable, it is a mule or a horse, and it should be taken out for a walk. ”
After speaking, he said solemnly to Qianxue: "Girl! Walking the path of formation is like climbing a cliff, and if you are not careful, you will be crushed! If you don't have confidence in yourself, how can you climb to the top of the cliff." ”
Qian Xue was shocked in her heart, and secretly asked: I should also have some confidence in myself, how can the way of the formation be as vast as the sea, how can she be underestimated? ”
"It's good if you can figure it out, the formation road is still very long, this time it's just a small obstacle, after you cross it, there is a new world waiting for you. ”
Lin Cheng felt that none of the three people in the house supported him, and it would be boring to stay, so he left angrily.
The three of them began to carefully study the place where the formation was arranged, and carefully studied the principle of the Seven Star Array, only to feel that there were no loopholes to follow, so they gave up.
Three days passed quickly. On the day of the gambling fight, Qianxue, Qiu Xin and Old Man Lin arrived early. I don't know who publicized it, and a lot of onlookers came.
Qian Xue raised her eyes and looked around, and she actually recognized a few of them, as if Ye Tian and Li Feng had also arrived.
Li Feng also saw Qianxue, and was busy whispering to his female companion, pointing his finger at Qianxue from time to time. Soon he walked with her to Qianxue's side.
Before he got closer, Li Feng shouted, "Fellow Daoist, it's really not easy to see you. ”
After speaking, he pointed to the female companion on the side and said, "This is my sister Li Ruohua, who is currently serving as a steward in Lingbaozhai." Then he pointed at Qianxue and said, "This is the personal disciple of the ruthless real person, Qianxue." ”
Qianxue was about to talk to them when she saw a cyan figure appear in the sky, and she was already beside her in a few blinks.
She was awe-inspiring in her heart, and the fateful moment had finally arrived.
