But Gong Sanyuan asked Ye Jingqiu, "You want to know what the Spirit Gathering Array is?"

Ye Jingqiu said sincerely: "Please also ask the palace master for guidance." ”

Gong Sanyuan said: "If you want me to guide you, you have to practice on my side for a few days." ”

Ye Jingqiu listened, nodded and said, "So, thank you Palace Master!"

When Boss Bi saw it, he said to Ye Jingqiu and Gong Sanyuan: "Gong Laosan, since Ye Jingqiu is studying with you, then I will go back;

Ye Jingqiu and Gong Sanyuan sent Boss Bi away, and came to Gong Sanyuan's fine house to sit down, Gong Sanyuan spoke: "How did you think of gathering spirit arrays at the time of refining the Wind Chasing Spirit Ship?"

Ye Jingqiu said: "I don't know what the Spirit Gathering Array is, but when I engraved the formation diagram, I thought of what I saw before, so I used the combination formation, engraved with the Trapped Dragon Array, the Ecstasy Array and the One-Yuan Complex Array. ”

"That's right! This Yuan Fu Formation is the foundation of the Spirit Gathering Array. ”

"What? The One-Dimensional Complex Formation is the foundation of the Spirit Gathering Array? Isn't this an auxiliary array?"

"This is what you nether people don't know. The One-Yuan Complex Formation, including the Trapped Dragon Formation and the Ecstasy Formation, can all be used as the main formation. Having said that, what is auxiliary? What is the Lord? The use of it as the main is the Lord, and the use of it as a supplement is the auxiliary. ”

When Ye Jingqiu heard this, his heart fluttered for a while: Yes, my previous opinion was indeed stubborn; in the end, this realm is different, and the vision is also different!

I heard Gong Sanyuan say again: "If you want to figure out the problem of the Spirit Gathering Array, you have to figure out the reason of the number and array. Although the number and array are different in nature, they express the same truth. ”

Ye Jingqiu said when he heard this: "Palace master, this reason, Ye really doesn't understand, please teach the hall master!"

Gong Sanyuan said: "This reason, you can change the word, you will understand - number, can be expressed in array!"

"What?" Ye Jingqiu listened, it was the first time in the world, unheard of!

Gong Sanyuan said with a smile: "The number of this Yuan Complex Formation is 'zero', and the number of Taiji Array is 'one', so that the number of the Nine Palace Array is 'nine', then all the numbers can be expressed in the formation diagram." ”

When Ye Jingqiu heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and asked again: "I understand a little, but how to calculate it?"

"Calculation is the deduction of formations. If you take just one number, say, 'fifty-four times eight,' what is the number?"

Ye Jingqiu said: "This number is naturally four hundred and thirty-two. ”

"It's this number," Gong Sanyuan continued, "This number is expressed in a formation, what does it look like? It is expressed like this: a four-elephant array is used for the hundreds, a three-talent array is used for the ten, and a two-yi array is used for the individual positions. And the number is expressed in a one-dimensional complex array, so that this complex array can represent the number 'four hundred and thirty-two'. ”

When Ye Jingqiu heard this, he suddenly realized and thanked: "Thank you Palace Master!"

Gong Sanyuan said: "This is just the skin, to really use it, you must also know the array environment, this array environment is the natural number of heaven and earth, and the natural number of heaven and earth is the basis of calculation and deduction." ”

Ye Jingqiu listened, and said secretly in his heart:

Since I have made some progress in the Great Dao Sand Sea, I feel that the way of the formation is also proficient, listening to what this palace master said, I really had the opinion of a frog before, but fortunately I didn't say anything to laugh at the Fang family.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingqiu stood up and bowed respectfully to Gong Sanyuan, and then said, "Dare to ask the palace master, how did you get the number of heaven and earth in this array environment?"

Gong Sanyuan said: "Everything in heaven and earth has its natural number, and its distribution naturally forms a pattern, and this pattern is the array environment. Knowing the pattern, we can get the number of heaven and earth nature. ”

When Ye Jingqiu heard this, he knew that it was extremely important to understand the pattern, and immediately asked: "Please also ask the palace master to teach Ye to understand the 'pattern'!"

"I know a little bit about the pattern, but I'm not proficient in it. I only know the general pattern, which is divided into eight grids and sixty-four games, and the natural number of heaven and earth in each game is qualitative according to the five elements, according to the positioning of the nine palaces, and according to the fixed number of the Taiji Liangyi, from one to nine, the righteousness of the nine palaces, divided into east and west, north and south, and the four elephants are combined with the nine palaces, and the number of the heavenly way is great.

There are endless mysteries here, and I have studied them for so many years, but I still have no clue about them. However, there is one point, and the Spirit Gathering Array is drawn from it. ”

Ye Jingqiu listened to it and said, "Thank you for the teachings of the palace master! Ye Mou will work hard in the future and study the formation path hard!"

Gong Sanyuan said with a smile: "Good ambition! The Spirit Gathering Array is just to make the formation absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through deduction." Combine the Tai Chi to the Nine Palaces Array, combine it with the One-Yuan Complex Array, fit with the external pattern, and take the way of mutual life, it will become the Gathering Spirit Array, if it is the way to take the Xiang Restraint, it will be the Heavenly Evil Array - what I said is the essence of the array. ”

Ye Jingqiu was convinced, and admired it to the extreme: "The kid has been taught, please ask the palace master to bow to the kid!"

The palace master got up and grabbed Ye Jingqiu: "You don't have to be so polite, I just saw that you are quite perceptive in the formation path, so I just said a few more words." Besides, my little knowledge is nothing, and after you learn this, you have to learn an advanced formation method. ”

Ye Jingqiu asked, "Dare to ask the palace master, what other means do you want to learn?"

"Refine the array flag to set up the array. ”

Ye Jingqiu listened, bowed again, and asked: "The kid used to set up a formation, but he had never heard of the saying that there was a formation flag, and today he was fortunate to hear the guidance of the hall master!"

Gong Sanyuan said with a smile: "You're polite again, isn't it? refining the array flag, it is estimated that you will have to study for ten days." ”

Ye Jingqiu said: "It's thirty days, and the kid is willing." ”

Gong Sanyuan said: "Okay, I'll take you to learn how to refine the array flag!"

Gong Sanyuan got up and walked out with Ye Jingqiu.

Ye Jingqiu followed Gong Sanyuan, and after a while, he came to a workshop hall, and the hall of the array hall was naturally much smaller than that of the instrument hall.

However, there are people training inside, but these people are not training in groups like the people in the hall of the machine hall, but they do their own work.

Some people close their eyes and think deeply, as if they were in a state of meditation; some people refine quickly and have a bunch of array flags, while others think while refining the array flags, and their movements are slow.

Gong Sanyuan took out some materials and told Ye Jingqiu how to use them to refine the Space Array Banner and the Time Array Flag, and emphasized that these two kinds of array flags are not only basic array flags, but also high-end array flags, and they are the key to using array flags to arrange formations. Wait until you have finished giving instructions one by one, and then leave.

Ye Jingqiu followed what Gong Sanyuan taught, first refined the Space Array Flag and the Time Array Flag, and practiced it for seven days in one breath, and felt that he was satisfied with it, so he came to ask Gong Sanyuan to comment on it.

After Gong Sanyuan saw it, he was quite surprised by Ye Jingqiu's high learning talent, and immediately bowed his head, indicating that it was very good;

On the tenth day, Ye Jingqiu was assessed. If you pass the assessment, you can go to Dantang to study.

Ye Jingqiu was naturally very happy and energetic.

Three days passed in a flash.

Gong Sanyuan took Ye Jingqiu to the assessment site, this place is the examination room, it is Gong Sanyuan's thorough research, and a pattern specially arranged, although it is made of manpower, but it is indeed the "Qiange View Bureau", this bureau is the fifth game of the Qiange, and the single name is a "view" word.

Ye Jingqiu inspected the terrain and topography, thinking about this pattern, the number of dry is one, the number of views is five, and the calculated number of one and five is still five, but the dry is large, the view is small, and the number is small.

After Ye Jingqiu calculated clearly, he quickly threw down a group of array flags, this group of array flags was refined in the past ten days, and now it is used to form a general array, the array is divided into three layers, and another five-element array is set up inward, but these five-element arrays are each composed of small five-element arrays.

In an instant, Ye Jingqiu threw fifty-five array flags, and a Taiji array was about to be deployed. When Ye Jingqiu finally placed the space array flags in the fisheye part of the yin and yang fish, he only heard a soft sound of "hum", and the Taiji array was activated!

Gong Sanyuan watched from the side, and since Ye Jingqiu put the first group of formation flags, he decided that Ye Jingqiu would be able to pass the assessment, because he saw that the placement arrangement of Ye Jingqiu's group of formation flags was enough to prove that Ye Jingqiu's inference about the pattern of the location of the examination room was correct!

Sure enough, after Ye Jingqiu put the formation flag in place step by step, the formation was effectively activated, and it was completely qualified!

Gong Sanyuan was very pleased, and said to Ye Jingqiu: "Jingqiu, you have passed! ”

Ye Jingqiu was also very happy to hear it, Gong Sanyuan's affirmation was not easy to come by, in the past ten days, Ye Jingqiu saw those people who practiced hard in the hall of the shed, and none of them were praised by Gong Sanyuan; on the contrary, there was a lot of criticism. Although he has worked extremely hard in the past ten days, he has entered the country quickly, and at most he has only gotten a slight jaw from Gong Sanyuan.

After the assessment, Ye Jingqiu collected the array flag and put it in the ring. The two of them talked as they walked back. Gong Sanyuan Road:

"Jingqiu, you have a high comprehension of the Dao, but I still have a word of persuasion. ”

"Please teach the hall master. ”

"After the autumn, the refining of the array flag, except for this single array flag, I have been thinking, can I refine a combination of array flags? That is, the formation flag contains several kinds of formations, into different combinations, and when used, the power will inevitably increase exponentially, but I have tried countless times, but I have always failed to succeed.

I thought about it, the problem is in the materials, the materials in our realm can't withstand the power of the compound formation, so we can't refine this kind of combination formation flag. ”

Ye Jingqiu listened, secretly admired the palace master's spirit of study, and asked, "Hall master, may I ask the formation method, what do you use to distinguish the level of cultivation realm?"

Generally speaking, if you cultivate to a high level, you will naturally be at a high level, but there are also people who have cultivated to a high level and cannot go up to the higher realm.

If it is subdivided, the way of the formation, cultivated by mortals, the highest level is the ninth order of the formation master, after breaking through the realm, it becomes the true path formation master, which is also divided into nine orders, and its ninth-order formation master is commonly known as the 'formation king'.

After that, there are the Spirit Dao Array Master and the Xuan Dao Array Master. What level is above the Xuandao Array Master, I don't know this. As for my own realm, I am now a Spirit Dao Array Master of the Eighth Order. ”

Gong Sanyuan paused for a moment and said: "Jingqiu, in my life, I have devoted myself to studying the formation path, and although the idea of refining this combination formation flag is something I personally thought of by accident, the theory has basically matured. I'm giving it to you, and you're the only person I've seen in more than a hundred years who can learn my theory. ”

Ye Jingqiu listened to it and knew that this was Gong Sanyuan who had taken a fancy to him and wanted to teach him his mantle. So Ye Jingqiu said: "Thank you for the cultivation of the hall master! The kid saluted the hall master!"

Gong Sanyuan grabbed Ye Jingqiu: "Jingqiu, I didn't plan to accept you as my disciple, your identity is not suitable to be my disciple."

In my opinion, it is best for us to maintain this relationship of teacher and friend. In addition, I would like to advise you on one point: although you are not a disciple of Confucianism, there is a reason why Confucianism can become one of the four major sects.

The in-depth study of the formation path and the artistic conception attack in the battle all require people to be proficient in Confucian scriptures. At the very least, what Confucianism has learned will help you comprehend the formation.

I have here a copy of "The Theory of the Pattern of the Mountains", a copy of "Confucian Elegance", and my self-realized theory of combining array flags, all of which are given to you, and I hope to study more in the future!"

Gong Sanyuan said, and took out three jade slips from the ring - the original content was engraved on the jade slips, which was different from what Ye Jingqiu had seen written in books before.

Ye Jingqiu respectfully accepted it and gave a salute. This time, Gong Sanyuan did not stop him, but accepted Ye Jingqiu's salute.

The two came to Gong Sanyuan's fine house while talking, but Gong Sanyuan didn't go in, led Ye Jingqiu to walk forward, and said, "Jingqiu, I'll send you to Dantang now." ”
