On the morning of the second day, Xie Jiayao and Xiao Bei swam to Guo Songtao's study, Xie Jiayao happily said to Guo Songtao: "Master, I have good news for you, the apprentice was at home with my mother last night, and carefully drew the river map, the circle and the dot number pattern you said, and carefully made some comparisons and studies according to your explanation. ”

It turned out that yesterday afternoon, after Xiao Beiyou, Xie Jiayao and Guo Songtao discussed Hetu and Luoshu in the practice field of Guo's mansion, and in the evening, they went back to rest, Xie Jiayao became more and more interested in Hetu and Luoshu, and after she returned to her residence, she took her mother to draw Hetu and Luoshu with her, looked carefully and discussed seriously.

After Xiao Beiyou left the practice ground of Guo's mansion, he returned to the bedroom, but he couldn't sleep, he recalled Guo Songtao's explanation of Hetu and Luoshu, and he felt that the rich content contained in Hetu and Luoshu was something he had never thought of before, and at the same time, he also felt that Master Guo's profound knowledge of Hetu and Luoshu was also something he had not expected before he came to Guo's mansion.

Xiao Beiyou has been thinking about the three meanings of the river map and Luo Shu emphasized by Master Guo, and he pondered: "Master Guo emphasizes the direction and order, the number of images and the righteousness, the rules and the change, which is worth pondering, this should be the most important experience of Master Guo to study the river map and the Luo book, if these are considered in connection with the formation, it can be found that the key factor of the advantages and disadvantages of the formation is the orientation setting, the number of images and the change of the rules, and the formation is very particular about the direction." The arrangement of troops is the arrangement of soldiers in a good position, so that they can be stable in defense and conducive to attack; the deployment of a formation is the coordinated action of a group, and it is the skillful arrangement of a certain number of people according to certain rules, and this belongs to the relationship between the number of images, and the more appropriate the arrangement of the number of images, the easier it is to coordinate among members, the more optimized the combination, and the more flexible the advance and retreat; at the same time, all kinds of formations have rules. Precisely because of the combination according to different rules. Formations have their own characteristics, but the rules are dead, and the people who set up the formations are alive. So. At the time of formation. It is necessary to apply the rules flexibly, and the application of the rules varies depending on the number of people, the environment, the climate, the balance of forces between friend and foe, etc. The reason why the same formation will continue to evolve is also because of the flexible use of rules to promote the evolution of the formation, this is the change, Master Guo is really very smart, and he can think of absorbing the method from the trend of the change of the number of images in Hetu and Luoshu, and create a new formation, which is very wise. ”

After Xie Jiayao finished speaking, Xiao Beiyou continued: "Jiayao is very smart, she knows how to go back to the bedroom to write out the river map and Luo calligraphy, carefully observe and study, Beiyou didn't think of this trick, as a result, Beiyou spent almost all night thinking about what the master said, because there was too much content, the apprentice couldn't digest it for a while, so he had to keep it and digest it slowly." ”

Guo Songtao said: "You all sit down, let you come to the study today, and did not let you go to the practice field, is afraid that you will learn too much content in a short time, and you can't accept it for a while, now, in the study you can easily drink tea and chat, do not need to be as strict as yesterday, in fact, learning must be relaxed and combined, sometimes, the relaxed atmosphere can make people improve learning efficiency, especially the relaxation after the tension, can make people feel more free to learn, relaxed and reasonable, is a happy way to learn." Guo Songtao said.

"Please rest assured, Master, these two apprentices in front of you are very willing to learn, and they will not be afraid of hard work, Jia Yao is now very interested in Hetu and Luoshu, and will definitely study seriously, and for Beiyou, Jia Yao knows that he can have the opportunity to learn from Master You, he already feels very lucky, where will he be afraid of the hard work of learning, so, please Master is strict, Jiayao and Beiyou will definitely study seriously and hard. Xie Jiayao said.

"Today, we won't talk about Hetu and Luoshu, please come to the study, I just want to do an important thing that is strict and serious, and after that, we can chat freely in the open air, and easily talk about the topics you are interested in, and the old man will not ask for any more strict sù requirements. Guo Songtao said.

"Master, what exactly do you mean by 'serious and important things', and why is Master so strict?" Xie Jiayao said.

"Before saying something important, the old man will ask you first, what is the purpose of your coming to Guo Mansion?" Guo Songtao said to Xie Jiayao sternly.

"Of course, I followed my mother to see her good father and Jiayao's good grandfather!" Xie Jiayao said.

"Is there any other purpose?" asked Guo Songtao.

"Also, my mother led Jiayao to see the relatives of the Guo Mansion who I hadn't seen for a long time. Xie Jiayao said.

"There's no other purpose?" Guo Songtao continued.

"There is also a trip to the north to meet you, play chess with your grandfather, and chat. Xie Jiayao said.

"Haha, it's as simple as that, don't you have any other ideas?" asked Guo Songtao with a smile.

"Hehe, grandpa, in fact, you already know in your heart the purpose of Jiayao and Beiyou coming to Guofu, how can your granddaughter hide it from your grandfather, why do you bother to ask again, right, grandpa?" Xie Jiayao said kindly.

Xiao Beiyou listened to the conversation between Xie Jiayao and Guo Songtao, and he felt that General Guo was a very bold person, and he must be honest with him, tell the truth, and never go around in circles.

Xiao Bei lobbied: " Master, Jia Yao and her mother, Mrs. Guo, are good people, they brought Beiyou to Guofu, on the one hand, they came to see your old man's house, they said that they haven't seen you for a long time, and they miss you very much; on the other hand, they want to bring Beiyou to Guofu to meet you, they also want Beiyou to live in Guofu for a few days, play chess with General Guo, and also learn the art of war with General Guo, to be honest, Beiyou was chased everywhere because of the people who resisted the police, and because of disobeying the master's orders, he was expelled from the mountain gate by the master, and now he has no fixed residence, Jiayao and Mrs. Guo kindly persuaded Beiyou to come to Guofu, just to let Beiyou have a temporary residence, and find an opportunity to learn the formation from General Guo, Jia Yao also wants Beiyou to become the successor of General Guo's wonderful formation, Beiyou thinks that it is very good to get General Guo's advice on Hetu, Luoshu and formations, whether you can become Master Guo's apprentice, whether you can become Master Guo's successor, it depends on whether Beiyou is qualified or not. It depends on whether Beiyou has this luck, Beiyou is unwilling to cause trouble to the master from the bottom of his heart!"

"Haha, granddaughter, you are the one who came up with the idea, and you were still coquettish to your grandfather just now, why don't you just say what you think in your heart? Go and invite your mother. Your grandfather has important things to tell you. Guo Songtao said.

"Okay, Jiayao will go and invite my mother immediately!" Xie Jiayao said.

Xiao Beiyou thought: "Old General Guo is happy for a while, and he is very strict for a while, and he specially asked Jiayao to invite her mother." I don't know what important things he has? Could it be that he wants to bring up the matter of Jia Yao and me marrying? Lord Xie Jingxi is not here. General Guo will definitely not mention the matter of marrying, and he will not tell him what he wants to do. ”

"Father, you are with these two grandchildren. Are you having fun? How do you think of calling your daughter to join in the fun, there must be something good?" Guo Huizhi came, and he said to Guo Songtao happily.

"My daughter is the smartest, and I believe you already know what I'm going to do, and it's certainly a good thing that your father is going to do it. Guo Songtao said.

"Grandpa, Jia Yao has already invited her mother, if you have any instructions, hurry up, don't let Jia Yao wait in a hurry!" Xie Jiayao said.

"Okay, you all sit down, Beiyou, you make tea quickly, my baby daughter is here, she is your future mother-in-law, you should pour a cup of tea and respect her!" Guo Songtao said with a smile.

Xie Jiayao listened, lowered her head shyly and said, "Grandpa, you are making fun of your granddaughter again!"

Xiao Beiyou listened, hurriedly made tea, poured two cups of tea to Guo Songtao and Guo Huizhi respectively, he thought about it, and then poured a cup of tea for Xie Jiayao, and poured a cup himself, he said softly to Xie Jiayao: "Jiayao, in front of your mother, we should respect your grandfather together, drink tea respectfully as an apprentice, thank Master for his cultivation, come, raise the teacup." ”

"The apprentice replaces the wine with tea, thank the master for his teaching, and invite the master to drink tea!" Xie Jiayao and Xiao Beiyou raised their teacups at the same time and said at the same time.

After the three of them finished drinking tea, Guo Songtao said: "Beiyou, sit down, don't be busy, Master has something to say to you!"

"Yes, please Master's command!" Xiao Beiyou said after sitting down.

Guo Huizhi glanced at her father and smiled slightly, she turned her face happily and looked at Xiao Beiyou.

"Jiayao, you pour a cup of tea for your grandfather!" Guo Songtao said.

Xie Jiayao respectfully poured a cup of tea for Guo Songtao.

"Beiyou, you take this cup of tea, kneel in front of the master, and salute the master with a cup of tea, the master has something important to say to you!" Guo Songtao said.

"Obey the order, apprentice Xiao Beiyou respects the master and drinks tea!" Xiao Bei paraded and bowed, and Guo Songtao drank tea.

"Xiao Beiyou's apprentice listened to the order, Master Guo Songtao has now decided to officially pass on to you the 'Heluo Fangyuan Formation' created after years of research, I hope you must study hard in the future, practice carefully, and be sure to master the one-fold set of formations, and there must be no mistakes!" Guo Songtao said sternly.

"Thank you Master for your great kindness! Apprentice Xiao Beiyou must abide by Master's teachings!" Xiao Beiyou said respectfully.

"Get up, sit down, Master still has something to say to you!" Guo Songtao said.

Guo Huizhi looked at Xiao Beiyou with a smile, Xie Jiayao listened to what her grandfather said, she was very happy, and said to Guo Songtao cordially: "Good grandfather, you have finally decided to officially teach your formation secrets to Beiyou, this is really good, thank you grandfather!"

"Granddaughter, you haven't married Beiyou yet, just speak for her so happily, thank your grandfather for him, if your grandfather is not mistaken, you and my Beiyou apprentice have a very good relationship, this is a good thing, grandpa is happy to hear it!" Guo Songtao said.

Guo Huizhi said: "Father, don't tease Jia Yaole anymore, you tell Beiyou the key words first, gossip and talk later, my daughter has asked the housekeeper of Guo's mansion to prepare a noon banquet, let Beiyou use this banquet to thank him 'Master Guo' for his careful teaching, at the banquet, and then the opportunity to drink, you can have a good chat." ”

"Or my daughter understands me, okay, Beiyou, you stand up, this is the schematic diagram of the 'Heluo Fangyuan Formation', this is the secret of the 'Heluo Fangyuan Formation', you put it away, this set of formations is composed of two parts: 'Breaking the Formation' and 'Standing Formation', the 'Breaking Formation' is based on the principle of Hetu and Luoshu, combined with Yin and Yang, Five Elements, and Bagua, and absorbing the essence of the formation in the ancient Art of War. The orientation of Luoshu, the number of images, the change trend of rules, absorb the advantages of ancient formations, and integrate the positive factors of the five elements of yin and yang, the eight trigrams map, the nine palace maps, Qimen Dunjia and other aspects into one, whether it is 'breaking the formation' or 'standing formation', it must be tested in actual combat, the master has done very little to test this set of formations, I hope you can change this set of formations on the battlefield into a formation in the martial arts, and test it in actual combat, Master believes that you will be able to carry forward this formation. Guo Songtao said sternly.

"Thank you Master for teaching the 'Heluo Fangyuan Formation', the apprentice must follow the master's orders and try his best to carry forward the formation created by the master!" Xiao Bei lobbied.

In the evening of the same day, Guo Huizhi hosted a thank-you banquet for Xiao Beiyou, and solemnly invited Guo Songtao and everyone in Guo Mansion, Xiao Beiyou toasted Guo Songtao and Guo Mansion frequently at the banquet, Xie Jiayao accompanied, Guo Songtao looked at the beautiful and intelligent granddaughter and future grandgrandson-in-law, and now the proud disciple Xiao Beiyou at the banquet, he was very satisfied and very happy.

Guo Songtao said to Guo Huizhi: "Good daughter, when you enter Guo's mansion, how about the old father's appearance? I do it completely according to your wishes, besides, Beiyou this child, I really like him very much, your daughter's vision is very good, this can be a good offspring that is difficult to find with a lantern!"

Guo Huizhi said: "Father's heart, daughter understands, if the daughter is not sure of the Beiyou, how dare he let him enter the Guo Mansion with Jiayao?

At the banquet, the guests and hosts were in a very good mood, and the whole banquet was very lively from beginning to end.

Although Xiao Beiyou was a little drunk, he could clearly feel that the banquet was very successful.

After the banquet, Xiao Beiyou, under the persuasion of Guo Huizhi and Xie Jiayao, promised to stay in Guo's mansion for a while, and he also wanted to stay in Guo's mansion for a while and continue to learn Hetu, Luoshu and formation from Guo Songtao.

However, Xiao Beiyou had only lived in Guo Mansion for two days, and there was news from someone in the rivers and lakes that He Zihan, the leader of the Tianzhu Sect, had sent people to attack the headquarters of the Police Division, and the confidence of the various sects of the alliance on the rivers and lakes had greatly increased.
