More than two hours later..................
The raunchy middle-aged man in the small pavilion had a wicked smile on his face, holding a wine jug alone and drinking a beautiful cow. Jin Quan, who was sitting opposite, looked at the chessboard with a distressed expression, and couldn't help but scratch and scratch his hair with both hands.
He muttered to himself, "Lost...... I lost again! But why?"
Jin Quan was very unconvinced, even though he was already very careful. But today's Uncle Du is like a sudden change of person, and he has a great deal of power and neatly won the seventh game of Jinquan. Jinquan, who has never lost once since he met Uncle Du, lost seven games in a row in one day for the first time. And it was a fiasco without suspense, so defeated that there was no way to fight back. Such an inexplicable series of defeats made Jinquan, who usually boasts of high chess strength, at a loss, and he couldn't figure it out.
Looking at the aggrieved Jinquan, Uncle Du comfortably drank a large sip of spiritual wine again before he asked with a smile: "Hehe, smart spring boy, I've been studying for so long, I don't know if you see anything?"
Jin Quan said expressionlessly: "The kid is stupid, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally found out what the reason is. I just feel that Uncle, your chess game today has become hazy, like seeing flowers in a fog. Although I always think that I have completely seen through your intentions and subsequent changes, I always fall into another trap that you have laid out a long time ago, when I am most proud. It's like you're completely trapped in a deep quagmire from which you can't extricate yourself. It's as if you're fighting with heaven and earth with the strength of one person............ Alas, please also ask Uncle Du for advice. ”
"Oh, how can you come to such a deep understanding in such a short period of time! After hearing what Jin Quan said about his inner feelings, the middle-aged man was suddenly very moved, and then he couldn't help but smile and laughed: "Hahahaha...... It's really rare! Your potential really deserves to be favored by my Du Hongbo! Not bad, not bad. Hahahaha......"
"Uncle, ............ you are"
Uncle Du laughed heartily for a while before he stopped, took a sip of fine wine and calmed down a little before he continued: "Okay! It's rare to see that you, a smart boy, have something I can't figure out, it's really happy! But before that, I want to test you first." ”
"Yes, boy. Jin Quan said respectfully.
After nodding, Uncle Du suddenly put away his cynical attitude and asked solemnly: "I heard that you have read a lot of immortal cultivation classics on weekdays, so I don't know if you understand what is called the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, and what are the most common among them?"
"Cultivating Immortals?"
Although he was very puzzled when he heard Uncle Du suddenly ask about these things that had nothing to do with the chess game, Jin Quan still replied casually: "Well, the so-called hundred arts of cultivating immortals refers to the most commonly used methods of cultivating immortals in the world of cultivating immortals, which is an indispensable foundation for helping our monks grow steadily. And the most common of them are alchemy, alchemy, talisman making, puppetry, array spells, animal taming, insect repellent, spirit planting, and so on............"
After shaking his head and listening to Jin Quan's explanation, Uncle Du continued to ask noncommittally: "Well, almost every monk will choose one or several kinds of immortal cultivation arts to study after stepping into the immortal cultivation realm, and then use it as a means to earn spirit stones or defeat the enemy. So Izumi boy, do you know which of them I'm best at, uncle?"
"Hmm, uncle, aren't you the best at spirit planting techniques, otherwise, how could the head of the family hand over the Su family's most important elixir valley to you to take care of?" Jin Quan asked a little strangely.
"Spirit plantation? hehe......"
After laughing a few times, Uncle Du said a little abruptly: "Ha! You are wrong, in fact, all of you are wrong! Everyone in the valley thinks that Uncle I am a skilled spirit planter, but in fact it is not. Uncle, what I'm really good at is actually trapping and forming spells. And the reason why I can win you so easily today is because Uncle I flexibly use the way of formation and fully integrate it into the chess game, so for you who don't know how to break the formation, no matter how superb your chess skills are, it is impossible to win against me. In fact, even if you play another 100 or 1,000 rounds, the result will be the same. Well, even the two Condensation Stage Elders didn't know about the Formation Dao Technique, and the main reason they invited me here was just for my attainments in Spirit Planting and Mechanism Techniques. ”
"What? Even the two Condensate Stage Elders don't know?" Jin Quan was shocked when he heard this, this was a secret that even the two Condensate Stage Elders didn't know. Jin Quan, whose status was as humble as his cultivation, asked a little nervously, "Uh, uncle, why are you telling me this?"
After gently putting down the wine jug in his hand, Uncle Du first looked at Jinquan carefully with a strange and mysterious expression for a while, and only when he saw that Jinquan was covered in hair, Uncle Du suddenly said with a serious expression: "Actually, it's nothing. Because every sect wants to pass on its own Taoism, and so do I, uncle. By the way, let's not talk about that. Uncle asks you, are you willing to follow Uncle and me to learn the way of mechanisms and formations?"
Jin Quan didn't rush to answer, but thought for a while before slowly replying: "Uncle Du, before I ask you, can you ask why it is me? All the disciples in the whole valley know that I am just a waste of immortal cultivators with poor qualifications, and at present, my cultivation is also the lowest in the entire Su family." For three years, he couldn't break through to the fourth layer of condensation. In this case, uncle, why do you fancy me again?"
"Well, uncle, I just like your calm character. ”
Dahan glanced at Jin Quan approvingly and said, "Actually, the reason is very simple! Because although the way of formation and mechanism is very magical, it is not very easy for everyone to learn it well. First of all, if you don't have an excellent memory and the ability to understand against the sky, you can't get started at all, and even if you have the above conditions, it's not enough, if you want to really learn well, you must also have perseverance and perseverance. In this way, we can thoroughly study the boring and complicated way of formations. The most important point is that the Formation Dao technique of this sect is very different from that of today's immortal cultivation world. If you want to give full play to its power, it is best to require your disciples to have the talent of dual-purpose. Over the years, I have looked at the whole valley, and no one has been able to pass on my mantle. Only you, after several years of observation, I have found that you fully meet my requirements in every aspect. ”
"Uncle Du, I'm ......"
Without waiting for Jin Quan to speak, Uncle Du continued: "Don't answer me in a hurry first, go back and think about it for a few days before making a decision." Because it takes a lot of time to study the way of formations and mechanisms, it is in great conflict with the monk's penance for the purpose of immortality, so you must think carefully before making a decision. Because once you agree, then you have to do something for Uncle and I, and if you delay your cultivation because of this, don't regret it!"
"Yes, I'll think about it. After listening to Du Hongbo's words, Lin Quan was also shocked. He had no idea that he had been secretly observed for several years, and that even his deliberately hidden dual-purpose talent had been discovered. This made him not know what to do for a while.
Uncle Du naturally didn't know Lin Quan's thoughts. Looking at Lin Quan, who was bowing his head and thinking deeply, he suddenly became childlike, blinked and said, "Okay, it's almost time today, you can go back first." If I'm late, Cortana's little girl will bother me again. As for whether or not you decide to learn the way of formation with me, you can think about it for a while. Come back to me one day if you're really decided. ”
“............ Yes, uncle. ”
Seeing that Uncle Du, who was still talking about the inheritance of the Dao system with a serious face just now, suddenly showed a lewd expression again, Jin Quan was also speechless for a while, turned around and left.
