Chapter Seventy-One: Observing the Dan Array (I)
Pretending to pat her head and think about something, Mingyue secretly cast a look of help to Gu Ming between her fingers.
Senior brother, this is completely your own doing, please redeem the little brother and there is nothing you can do!
As soon as Gu Ming and Mingyue's eyes made contact, he immediately turned his head to the side and stood beside his master upright.
Mingyue couldn't find a savior, pouted, and then reflected on Lin Ziqian.
"Oh, oh, master, are you angry because I was discovered?!"
"You know, with my ability, it is impossible to find ten more girls like that! Who knows if that girl is not doing her job, what kind of spirit beast does an alchemist raise, and even more excessively, she also raises a mink! You know, the mink has a spiritual nose, so ...... So ......"
The more Mingyue spoke, the more excited she became, the more Lin Ziqian listened, the darker her face became, Mingyue was in the master's eyes like a knife, "So" The content behind it really can't be continued.
Senior brother, your brain is a good thing, you have to make up for it!
Lin Ziqian knew his eldest disciple's temper too well, and it would be in vain to force Mingyue again.
After sighing slightly, he said to Mingyue with an unkind face: "The matter is urgent at the moment, and today's matter will be stopped! Starting tomorrow, the teacher must go all out to cooperate with the alchemy! Now seal your cultivation first, lest you cause trouble again!"
After speaking, with a wave of his hand, a spirit rune appeared in his hand, and the spiritual light suddenly appeared, turning into a rope made of runes more than a zhang long, which was wound around the bright moon like a spirit snake.
In the blink of an eye, the aura weakened, and the runes wrapped around Mingyue's body also dimmed until they disappeared.
"This alchemy will take some time, you should reflect in this house, and you must not go out for a step!"
"Master, don't lock up my little black room, please!"
Mingyue pleaded aggrievedly.
"Hmph! Since the teacher has decided, he will not change it! After returning to the Mochizuki Sword Sect, the teacher will come back to deal with you according to your performance during this time!"
"Master......"
"If you say one more word, the punishment will be doubled!"
“......”
Mingyue's punishment is set.
Although Gu Ming felt that he was completely to blame, he still symbolically helped and begged for mercy.
As a result, Lin Ziqian ignored it, sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to breathe, and waved his hand to let the two disciples leave on their own.
Originally, Mingyue wanted to make a fuss for a while, but Gu Ming saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly pushed the stubborn senior brother towards the door with all his strength.
Mingyue struggled unrelentingly for a long time, the sole of his shoe left a long scratch on the floor of the hall, and the room was filled with the smell of burnt brake pads.
In order to persuade this senior brother to "judge the situation", he is currently out of the house, and there are many inconveniences, and he hopes that the senior brother will "bear with it for the time being", but Gu Ming's mouth is worn out and it is still useless.
In the end, I had to come up with a "killer feature", and I promised a "luxurious meal" after returning home to appease Mingyue a little.
I hope Mingyue's punishment will be carried out smoothly!
......
Early the next morning.
When Gu Ming followed his master to the alchemy room of Zhoujiazhuang, Mingyue came to the door to see him off for the first time.
Mingyue leaned against the gate, and her aggrieved and resentful eyes made Gu Ming's back chill.
Eh, senior brother, don't blame me, if you want to blame the master!
Under the leadership of the servant, Lin Ziqian's master and apprentice soon came to the alchemy room.
Wow, this battle is a little scary!
The small alchemy room, with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, is full of people inside and out.
Gu Ming followed the master to salute the several masters who had already arrived, especially when he came to the second master Song Xiushen, the master also specially talked to the master and uncle.
Under the master's instructions, Gu Ming came to Su Jinyao with a hard head.
After saluting, he respectfully handed over the brocade bag containing the "slippery, soft and fragrant baby" to Master Su.
......
Gu Ming: Nima, don't mention anything "slippery, soft and fragrant baby", okay!
Narrator: I don't, I don't, I'm going to say that!
Gu Ming: Your sister's taste! Your sister's chic!
......
Before Su Jinyao could say anything, Shui Youyou had already killed from behind the master.
With a red face, she snatched the brocade bag in Gu Ming's hand, turned around, and quietly opened the brocade bag to check the "slippery, soft and fragrant baby" inside.
......
Gu Ming: Come on, can you not be so vulgar!
Narrator: Hehe......
......
After making sure that his belongings were intact, Shui Youyou turned his head.
His face was as red as a peach blossom, his eyes were like autumn water dripping down, and his body trembled slightly and pointed at Gu Ming.
"You, you nasty! You, you shameless! You, you hateful!"
Regarding Shui Youyou's abuse, Gu Ming had a black line, and he didn't know whether he should refute it.
Muma, who am I messing with!
Why is it obscene?
Why is it shameless?
Where is it hateful?!
Forget it, who makes the family also a victim?
And the senior brother was punished, and he was not present today!
This pot had to be carried by the brothers!
Hey, it's a hard life!
Gu Ming's face darkened, ignoring Shui Youyou's accusation, but saluted Su Jinyao again.
"The disciple has returned the recovered lost property under the order of the master, does Master Su have any other teachings? If not, the disciple will return to the family teacher!"
Su Jinyao smiled slightly: "Since the thing has been recovered, we will no longer pursue it!
I didn't expect this charming Master Su to speak so well, Gu Ming was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him and prepared to leave: "Disciple takes orders!"
However, the water on the side is gone.
"Master, it's obvious that they stole something, why do you have to thank him!"
Eh, little beauty, this is very unfriendly!
"Presumptuous! Do you want you to teach you how to do it for the teacher?"
Well, you see, it's still a big beauty who is more cultivated!
After being reprimanded, Shui Youyou pulled the master's water sleeve aggrievedly, and said with tears in his eyes: "Yesterday, people's Xiaoxue has found out, obviously it is this obscene embryo that stole something, and now he is still pretending to be a good person! You don't scold him, but scold me! Master, you are biased!"
Muma, what does it mean to pretend to be a good person!
Lao Tzu is a good person, 100% original pure good person, is it good!!
I endured Lao Tzu for others, you scolded me indiscriminately Lao Tzu also endured it, you even doubted Lao Tzu's character!
Aunt can bear it, uncle can't bear it!!
Since the matter involved Mingyue, Su Jinyao didn't want to delve into the reason anymore, but fortunately, the matter had been resolved, she softly comforted her disciple a few words, and then signaled Gu Ming to leave.
Just as Gu Ming turned around and was about to leave, this Shui Youyou was still angry, and said viciously to him: "You shameless man, don't let me see you again in the future, otherwise be careful that I chop your thief's hand and gouge out your thief's eye!"
Are you still finished?
The mud bodhisattva also has three points of anger, be careful of Lao Tzu going crazy!
Gu Ming glared at the girl with a dark face, and returned to Lin Ziqian's side without saying a word.
At this time, the five masters had already arrived, and everyone entered the alchemy room with their front and back feet under the leadership of General Manager Zhou.
The alchemy room of Zhoujiazhuang is quite spacious, because it is a single building built in the village, it is transparent on all sides, the internal lighting is very good, and the morning light cast by the caisson on the roof falls on the Dan furnace in the middle, which illuminates the treasure alchemy furnace brightly.
The entire alchemy room was like a gladiatorial arena, concave from the outside to the inside, and the place where the entrance door was located was the highest, and the place where the Dan furnace was placed in the middle was the lowest.
Around the Dan furnace is a bluestone fence, outside the fence in each of the five star directions set up an altar, five half-moon arch bridges from five different directions across the fence, connecting the altar and the alchemy furnace in the center.
Outside the altar, there is another ring of railings, and there is still a passage between the railing and the alchemist's outer wall.
On top of this passage, there are a lot of guards arranged step by step, and these guards are all holding swords, standing upright, with serious faces and meticulous faces.
Lin Ziqian explained a few words to Gu Ming, led him to the south of the room, stayed on a platform in the outermost circle, and then walked to the departing altar of the magic circle and sat cross-legged.
The alchemy formation is an auxiliary means in alchemy, because the individual alchemy is limited by the individual ability after all, when refining some particularly time-consuming and labor-intensive pills or in order to increase the success rate of alchemy, alchemists often invite more familiar peers to use the alchemy formation to achieve the above purposes.
Generally speaking, the now more mature alchemy formations are divided into two categories:
One of them is the "Starry Formation", this kind of formation is generally built by several people, and the alchemists in the array are not divided into priorities, each person is responsible for a part or a certain link in the alchemy process, and everyone divides labor and cooperates to complete the entire refining process of the elixir. This kind of magic circle has higher requirements for every alchemist who forms the array, and it also has higher requirements for everyone's cooperation and techniques. This formation has a wide range of applications in refining the elixir, improving the quality of the elixir, and ensuring the success rate.
The second is the "Lianzhu Formation", which is generally built by several people, with one alchemist in the formation occupying the main position, and the others being secondary, the main alchemist is responsible for the entire process of alchemy, and the rest of the alchemists are only responsible for providing spiritual power. It can be seen here that the person who occupies the second position may not necessarily be an alchemist, and other cultivators can also take on this role. However, it is of course better to be an alchemist, because when the main alchemist encounters an unexpected situation and cannot continue alchemy, he can change the formation to let a certain alchemist in the second position change to the main position, so as to ensure the process of continuing alchemy. This kind of magic circle has higher requirements for the alchemist who is in the main position, and it requires the spiritual root attribute of the cultivator who is secondary, and the main practice method must be consistent with the main alchemist, so as not to be mixed with spiritual power. This formation is more effective in refining pills in batches, especially in refining multi-turn pills.
Gu Ming thought for a moment and made an easy-to-understand analogy for the big guys. The effect of these two circles is simply like the "parallel circuit" and "series circuit" in modern society.
Theoretically, there is no limit to the number of people in the formation of these two types of magic circles, as long as everyone cooperates well, you can form as many people as you want.
However, at present, the more commonly used are mostly three-man formations, five-man formations and seven-person formations. First, because the more people there are, the more difficult it is to cooperate; second, the number of alchemists is limited now, and everyone can be called friends, and even fewer people get together to form a formation for alchemy; third, generally speaking, there are not many opportunities to use alchemy formations, and they are basically not used unless they are special and special circumstances.
It seems that what Zhoujiazhuang has built today is a five-person starry formation, the master is leaving, the second master is occupying the fifth position, Su Jinyao is in the position, the white-haired and white-bearded Master Qi Guangji is exchanging the position, and the master Zhao Xuanyi with the national character face is in the earthquake position.
