Chapter 144: Inner Disciple
Xiao Ziyang, who was in deep thought, under the guidance of this seemingly simple problem, but pointed directly to the core of the formation, found that when he first started to learn the formation, under the guidance of Zhang Jiuling's formation experience, he took a detour.
In fact, this problem is very clear in the formation chapter of "Purple Jade Smoke". But Xiao Ziyang didn't get started at that time and couldn't understand it. When he got Zhang Jiuling's experience in the formation, he had a wrong understanding in his heart under his guidance. However, this erroneous understanding seems to be very reasonable on the surface, and it can be explained in many places; this problem is a theoretical problem, which will not affect his application of the formation, but it will undoubtedly hinder him from continuing to study the formation in depth. Naturally, he ignored it.
As he continued to study deeply, this misconception gradually showed its power. This is also the reason why Xiao Ziyang is impatient to ask for questions about the formation in the Murong family. There are many dead knots in his heart that he can't untie.
Obviously, the person Xiao Ziyang consulted had the same misunderstanding as him in his heart. Therefore, the knot in his heart became more and more dead.
This erroneous understanding tempts every monk who studies the formation like a shortcut to the south.
With the guidance of this question, the dead knots that had been bothering him in Xiao Ziyang's heart were untied one after another. There was a rush of ecstasy in his heart. He looked up and was about to answer the monk surnamed Huang.
But at this moment, his mind flashed, he didn't want to become a formation mage, learning the formation was just for a better cultivation. For a monk, self-cultivation is the essence of everything, and without this, everything else is vain. No matter how good the elixir is, how many can you eat? No matter how well the magic weapon is refined, how many can you control?......
Therefore, he immediately suppressed the joy in his heart, raised his head, and said with a very confused and frustrated look in his eyes: "Uncle Hui, I can't answer your question." ”
I didn't think about it, but the old man surnamed Huang nodded and smiled: "Very good, it seems that the son is quite teachable." Senior Brother Hua, I will bring this son back to Bailing Peak. ”
That Hua Zhanpeng didn't seem to have recovered from the question just now. He nodded distractedly.
The old man surnamed Huang took Xiao Ziyang out of the main hall, leaving a room of people with different expressions.
Out of the deacon hall, the old man surnamed Huang waved his hand and released a turquoise leaf-like flying magic weapon, and flew towards a very beautiful mountain peak in the southeast with Xiao Ziyang.
The old man surnamed Huang turned back to Xiao Ziyang while manipulating the magic weapon, "What's your name?"
"Back to Uncle Huang, disciple Xiao Ziyang. Xiao Ziyang said respectfully.
"Well, Xiao Ziyang, you don't have to be frustrated, the question I asked just now was not asked casually, this question is a question that must come when you want to enter Bailing Mountain and become a monk of the formation mage. This question is set up by the ancestor of my Daluo faction who studied the formation method, and the real person of Guangfa. It goes straight to the core of the formation foundation. You may be confused, which means that you have a deep understanding of the basics of formation. If you can figure this question through, it means that the formation is together, and your foundation is solid. ”
He paused, and then said, "This time, if you go back to the mountain with me, you will become the inner disciple of my Bailing Peak." Saying this, he pointed to the river that crossed the plain at his feet, "As an inner disciple, you can choose a mansion to the east of Qinghuan Creek. As an inner disciple of my Bailing Peak, in addition to learning Taoism and spells in the Baiwen Hall, you can also learn the formation from the master in the Bailing Peak Cui Ling Hall. ”
While speaking, the two of them had already come to the mountainside of Bailing Peak. Here, there is a hall that is much smaller than the deacon's hall. The plaque above the main entrance of the hall reads "Bailingfeng Deacon Branch" in seven big characters.
The old man surnamed Huang took Xiao Ziyang into the hall. Some of the Qi cultivators I met on the road all saluted the old man surnamed Huang one after another. They all called the old man surnamed Huang Deacon Huang.
Deacon Huang took Xiao Ziyang to a side hall. Several monks in the hall who were practicing Qi were talking, and when they saw him come in, they all stood up and saluted respectfully.
Deacon Huang waved his hand and said, "This Xiao Ziyang has just started, and he has already passed the examination between this deacon and Hua University deacon, and has become my inner disciple of Bailing Peak. You wait to take out the immortal mansion map of the disciples in the Qi cultivation period. Let Master Xiao's nephew choose an immortal mansion. ”
A middle-aged monk in his forties, who had cultivated qi at the seventh level, hurriedly turned around and took down a scroll from the bookshelf behind him, and spread it on the table, on which was the map of the mountain plains, and there were countless immortal mansions distributed on the map, and these immortal mansions shone with red and green brilliance respectively.
The middle-aged monk pointed to the map and said, "Senior brother, please see, these immortal mansions that shine with red brilliance are inhabited, and these ones that shine with green brilliance are temporarily uninhabited. Also, you see, on this map, there are seven areas marked with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, which are inhabited by monks of different identities and different cultivations. The three areas of red, orange and yellow on the west side of Qinghuan Creek are inhabited by outer disciples, and the four areas of green, blue, blue and purple on the east side of the stream are inhabited by inner disciples. With your cultivation, Senior Brother, you can choose a place to live in this green area. ”
Xiao Ziyang found that on the side of the green area near the cyan area, most of the immortal mansions were shining red, while the side near the stream was mostly empty. He observed for a moment, then pointed to a courtyard and said, "I want this courtyard." ”
The courtyard chosen by Xiao Ziyang is in the southeast corner of the mountain plain, close to the stream. And there is a cliff right across the stream. So there was no one living for tens of miles around.
Deacon Huang looked at it and persuaded him: "Senior nephew Xiao, the closer this immortal mansion is to the mountains to the east, the thicker the spiritual energy will be, although the difference is not too big, but it can always save some time for meditation." You have to see it clearly. ”
Xiao Ziyang replied: "Thank you Uncle Huang for reminding me, my cultivation is shallow, and I only have four levels of Qi training. Even the aura in the red region is enough for me to cultivate, and it is more than enough. The choice of this green area has little impact on me. Moreover, the master and nephew studied the formation and liked the quietness very much, so he chose the uninhabited mansion around here. ”
When Deacon Huang heard him say this, he nodded and stopped talking.
After Xiao Ziyang chose a residence, Deacon Huang took out a light green token from the storage bag and played a legal decision at Xiao Ziyang.
After that, Deacon Huang handed over the token to Xiao Ziyang. He said to him, "This is your identity token as a disciple of my Bailing Peak. When you take this token, go to the mansion of your choice, and activate the token against the mansion protection circle, and then the mansion protection circle will lock with your identity token, and from then on, only this token can open your mansion protection circle. ”
He said to a young monk in the hall: "Xiao Ziyang has just arrived, and he is not familiar with the road, so you take him to the immortal mansion he just selected and recognize the road." ”
The young monk hurriedly agreed. Deacon Huang instructed Xiao Ziyang a few more words and left.
