Chapter 88: Seventy-two Formations
Zuo Tianyou "exhaled" to take back the Doom Stone, and took it in his palm to look at it repeatedly, this fox soul was black and cold, like a layer of dense fog heavily wrapped around the whole body of the Doom Stone, so that the red light of the Samadhi True Fire inside could hardly be revealed, and the original red stone has now become a strange stone covered with black gas.
Just when Zuo Tianyou looked down at the Doom Stone, Master Chang had already come to him, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that your concentration at such a young age would be so strong! The confusion of this fox soul is very strong, and the people in the sect easily dare not set foot in this forest, just because they are afraid of this thing." ”
After speaking, Master Chang took the stone from Zuo Tianyou's hand and looked at it. Zuo Tianyou had already heard that it was him when Master Chang reminded him for the first time, so he was not surprised when he suddenly appeared now, but continued to ask: "Is the fox soul demon power so strong?" I thought it was because I didn't have enough skills, so I was confused by it. ”
Zuo Tianyou's idea was actually not unreasonable, a seductive technique like the Wild Fox Soul was indeed very effective for low-level cultivators. If this kind of ecstasy method is used on ordinary people, it will even make people lose their minds and go crazy, but cultivators can resist this kind of magic with the size of their strength, but the lower the level, the weaker the resistance, like Zuo Tianyou is only slightly confused today, so Master Chang thinks that his concentration is still quite strong.
Master Chang put the Doom Stone back into Zuo Tianyou's hand, his eyes were like torches, he stared at Zuo Tianyou and looked at it, shook his head and said: "You kid is indeed a little unusual, it stands to reason that if you are fascinated by it with your skills, I will just shout ten times and eight times, but I am afraid that I will not be able to recall your ecstasy." But it's strange that you were woken up in a word!"
In Chang Shigong's memory, there are many master disciples in the sect near the Eagle Claw Pond of this Wild Fox Peak, and the skills of those guys are not low, but once they are fascinated, the old man has no great effect even if he casts spells to wake up, so Chang Shigong is often stationed in the Eagle Claw Pond, mainly to prevent someone from straying into this place and being tricked by the wild fox soul.
Zuo Tianyou also muttered in his heart, but he was very concerned about the usefulness of this fox soul, so he continued to ask Master Chang what the fox soul could be used for in the future.
"There is a samadhi true fire in your crossing stone, which is the nemesis of the wild soul, this crossing stone is an ancient strange stone, with strong adhesion, which can lock the fox soul, you will take good care of this crossing stone, as long as you release the fox soul when you need it in the future, then you will naturally understand the benefits of this fox soul. ”
Zuo Tianyou felt that what Master Chang said was appropriate, so he didn't ask any more questions, and sealed the doom stone and put it into the space. Then he asked, "Master Chang called me to Eagle Claw Pond today to teach me a few formation diagrams, I don't know where we start?"
Master Chang specially invited Zuo Tianyou to this Wild Fox Peak today, half of the plan is to try Zuo Tianyou's skill and how strong his potential is, if his skill is low, Master Chang plans to teach him two tricks casually, fooling around, if the potential is really good, he plans to teach seriously for two days, show off the research results of the past two hundred years in his stomach, and teach Zuo Tianyou some.
Master Chang smiled at this time, stroked the long white beard with one hand, and said for a long time: "The formation is based on the five elements and gossip, and the changes are endless. Gold, wood, water, fire and earth are mutually reinforcing. ”
When Zuo Tianyou heard that this big hat was worn, he felt a little funny in his heart, and then looked at the old man's expression, knowing that this old guy was not smelly and showed off, and he would never easily teach himself any formation.
Thinking of this, Zuo Tianyou bowed down and said: "You have been studying the formation for hundreds of years, and you have achieved remarkable results, and you are well versed in the mysteries, I don't know if you can choose one or two commonly used professors from among them." ”
Chang Shigong didn't say a word, his eyes swept around, only to see a few array flags instantly conjured out of his hand, and a gust of wind suddenly blew from behind the mountain, and the various array flags were scattered and blown away, extremely fast.
Zuo Tianyou's eyes are good, concentrating to see, and found that there are five colors of the array flag, the cyan array flag flies to the east, the wind is blowing in the sky, the leaves and grass are flying all over the sky, and gradually forming a dragon shape, and then look at the west, a row of white flags is lined up in the shape of a tiger, the momentum is huge, dozens of red array flags in the south dance into a piece, from a distance it looks like a firebird rushing to the sky, the north black pressure a layer of black chess, rotated into a basalt shape with the wind, like a black cloud pressing directly overhead, the bright yellow flag in the middle is extremely dazzling, shining a brilliance under a few points of golden light, Zuo Tianyou feels that it is a divine beast unicorn that falls from the sky!
Zuo Tianyou secretly admired in his heart, this old man is really hidden, looking at the way he carries firewood on weekdays, he really can't imagine that he has such a ability, who would have thought that the unpredictable formation in front of him was laid by this dark-faced old man chopping wood!
Chang Shigong saw that Zuo Tianyou's face was full of admiration, and he couldn't help but snicker in his heart, and said proudly: "Hou Sheng, this is called a trapped formation!
After that, with a wave of his backhand, the five-colored flag began to change directions, and Chang Shigong explained while arranging the formation: "This is a kind of formation in the trapped formation, there are seven variations, if you want to learn this formation, you must keep these seven variations in mind, and practice repeatedly." ”
Zuo Tianyou heard that there was something in Master Chang's words, and knew that this was already teaching skills, so he didn't ask much, and looked at the direction and number of five-colored flags in the air, and secretly remembered it.
Chang Shigong saw that Zuo Tianyou was silent, and he didn't care about him, just practice his own set of trapped formations, seven layouts, repeatedly replaced, for a while, colorful flags flew all over the sky, flying sand and stones, grass blades churned, Zuo Tianyou was in the middle of the trapped formation, constantly changing his position, in order to see the steps of the old man's every step of the formation.
At first, Zuo Tianyou still opened his eyes wide, staring at the position of the colored flag, and after looking at it again, Zuo Tianyou saw that the old man had laid out the same formation again, so he closed his eyes, identified the direction of the formation flag with his voice, and silently corresponded to the position he had just written.
After two hours, the old man was a little tired from playing, took back all the five-colored flags, and asked Zuo Tianyou with a smile: "How do you remember?"
Zuo Tianyou slowly opened his eyes and said with a slight smile: "I can barely remember it." ”
In fact, the silent memorization formation is by no means an insurmountable difficulty for Zuo Tianyou, a cultivator who was born as a scholar, especially his eyes are very good, good eyesight and good memory, and the seven formation change diagrams, Zuo Tianyou has basically kept it in mind.
Chang Shigong was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that this young descendant in front of him had such an ability, and couldn't help but immediately inspect the two formations, Zuo Tianyou heard that the old man couldn't believe it, so he slowly said it according to the position he had written down in his heart, and this time the old man was completely impressed, and happily patted Zuo Tianyou's shoulder and said: "It's really terrifying! With your skill and memory, you will soon be able to learn all the mathematics I have learned all my life! I have been hiding in the mountains for hundreds of years, and finally met my confidant in this life!" Chang Shigong sighed, and continued: "These **** don't have to go back, right here, I'm going to teach you all the seventy-two formations I make the best use of!"
Zuo Tianyou didn't expect the old man to be so happy, thinking that he was really trapped in this deep mountain for hundreds of years of loneliness, so that he had such a big reaction after meeting him.
In the next few days, Zuo Tianyou did not leave Chang Shigong half a step, watching him demonstrate the formation to himself one by one, explaining the mysteries and tricks.
Until the fourth day, Zuo Tianyou had memorized all the formations taught by Chang Shigong, and memorized them silently, Chang Shigong repeatedly inspected the positions of his various formations several times, and there was no mistake.
Master Chang secretly admired Zuo Tianyou's amazing talent in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's not enough to remember, you need to practice more! Let's go, now you change places with me, and you can show me these formation exercises, if you can really use them freely, then you can be regarded as having learned merit. ”
