Chapter 181 Entering the battle
A headache is a headache, but we still have to do things.
"Sister, you need to be quiet to make the talisman. You go and talk to Miaomiao first."
Lin Bai felt weak.
"I'm really thinking, that girl likes me." Gu Yao left with a smile.
Lin Bai didn't say a word, saying to herself that with her wonderful eyesight, it's no wonder she doesn't like you! You pulled Aunt Gu over, Miaomiao liked it even more.
When the cave returned to tranquility, Lin Bai first made a batch of tiger and wolf pills.
After calming down, he took out the talisman paper and brush and concentrated on making the talisman.
Looking inside the sea of consciousness, the spiritual consciousness falls on the pen and wanders like a dragon. As the spirit pattern is drawn, a trace of the mist of life is absorbed into it.
Make three pictures in a row, take a break, and continue working.
Ten blindfold talismans were completed, and Lin Bai carefully put them away.
"No matter how much you ask for, I will give you, never more."
He closed his eyes and came to the stone plate, recovered a little, then lowered his head to meditate.
As a Nascent Soul cultivator, Aunt Gu must be doing something secretly because she is so demanding.
However, Lin Bai and Zhu Jianyang had discussed that this Aunt Gu was not a scheming person, and based on her past acting style, she should not be good at planning.
From this point of view, it was probably the ancestor of the Yang family who was planning it, or there might be another military advisor.
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't find a solution. Aunt Gu only knows how to ask for things, but she doesn't care about her. Is this a long-term principle? It's really shameful.
Opening his eyes and taking a sip of tea, Gu Yao was back.
She held Miaomiao in her left hand and Jiangyu in her right hand, looking like a big sister.
"You study the formation carefully at home." After delivering the goods, Gu Yao did not check them, but said: "I will take them back to the mountains to live for a few days, and you can come to me to ask for them in a month."
< br>
Speaking of this, she smiled and said: "I will still need to pay the tribute."
After saying that, he led the people outside.
Miaomiao was held by her hand, turned her head and blinked at Lin Bai, making a "don't worry about me doing things" look.
"..." Lin Bai sat blankly in the cave for a while, then lay down on the ground.
"Aunt Gu wants one ticket a month, and ten tickets per ticket! How about eating it? Sooner or later I will be drained..."
Before he could finish his emotion, Jiang Xiaobai also came.
Seeing Lin Bai's helpless look, she quickly stepped forward, knelt down and let Lin Bai rest on her lap.
Having just been squeezed by Aunt Gu, Miss Jiang came to squeeze her again.
"But you were bullied?" Jiang Xiaobai asked with concern.
"It's nothing." Lin Bai arched his body towards her, the results became more obvious, and he pounced on her.
"It's like you took the Tiger Wolf Pill today and you only care about bullying others." After eating and drinking, the two chatted for a while, and Jiang Xiaobai left with satisfaction.
After sitting quietly for a while, Lin Bai took out the outline of the formation that Gu Yao brought.
Lin Bai had been exposed to formations before, especially the Feiyun Flag Formation, which was commonly used when killing people and stealing goods.
However, the Feiyun Flag Formation is simple after all, because the seven-pole flags are all made of Tianyun animal bones. They come from one body and are inherently cross-linked, so it is much simpler. As long as you put the flags in their proper places and focus on yourself, you will be able to control them.
Of course, the advantage is that it is easy to arrange; the disadvantage is that the flag formation is too small and easily destroyed.
Lin Bai's method was to kill quickly, so there was no need to maintain the Feiyun Flag Formation for too long.
"Let's learn from Yuanying's family."
Lin Bai opened the outline of the formation and studied it word by word.
At the beginning of the book, the principles of formation are explained in detail. It uses the formation flags and formation pivots, borrows the spiritual energy of the place, or even the spiritual veins, and uses one's own ability to form the formation.
Then according to the effectiveness of the formation, it is divided into dozens of categories. Such as concealment, protection, cover, psychedelic, etc.
Lin Bai's Feiyun Flag Formation is a portable formation that has the effect of covering and concealing.
The formation requires a little more detail and is very craftsmanship. But when it came to the last two pages, the text suddenly changed. It was a detailed explanation of the key points of the formation in a simple and easy-to-understand way. The insights into the formation were extremely profound.
It not only talks about formations, but also extends to alchemy, talisman making, and weapon refining, and there are also unique insights in it.
Lin Bai had some knowledge of alchemy and talismans. After studying it, he suddenly felt like he could see the sun through the clouds.
"Use heaven and earth as the furnace, creation as work; Yin and Yang as fire, all things as copper, this is the way to refine weapons."
"The way to make alchemy is to use plants, trees, medicinal stones, and the power of the five elements to perform your own changes."
"The talisman makes its own energy manifest, and then makes the energy of heaven and earth manifest."
"The formation is a machine that transforms the changes in the five elements and connects the heaven and the earth. It uses the power of the great road to turn its power into one's own use."
Lin Bai didn't know who wrote this book, but after studying it carefully, he felt that every word was exquisite.
Especially in the end, just like the principles of the Great Dao, the laws of heaven and earth can be refined by the method of weapon refining and can be accommodated by the power of the magic circle.
"The person who wrote this book is no longer talking about the ordinary refining of weapons and formations, but has some meaning in it."
"Seeing mountains is mountains, seeing water is water. Although the mountains and rivers have not changed, the vision, knowledge, and state of mind have changed."
"This person's cultivation level is probably far above mine, even higher than Aunt Gu's."
Lin Bai studied it carefully several times and kept it in mind silently.
Regardless of whether it can be used for one's own purposes, at least I can make some sense in front of my disciples in the future, which is enough to bluff people.
Among those who practice immortality and various arts, alchemy makes the most money. But if we talk about the most difficult thing, it must be the way of formation. It’s hard to get started, but it’s also hard to master.
"This summary of the formation method does not mention the specific formation method at all, nor does it talk about the method of setting up the formation. Obviously there is still the second half of the volume. It is obviously for me to ask for it in person!"
"Aunt Gu knows how to manipulate people!"
Lin Bai pondered for a long time and realized that he could only be manipulated and could not manipulate Aunt Gu.
Although he has a unique destiny and a strange talisman, he is still someone else's pawn.
"Still not strong enough!" Lin Bai closed his eyes, came to the stone plate, and carefully reviewed the outline of the formation.
"Transform the changes in the five elements, connect the heaven and earth, and borrow the power of the great road."
"Can I perform a formation in the future so that the fog does not disappear and stretches for miles, dozens of miles, or even wider? If I can really do it, wouldn't it be even more powerful for me when I am in the formation? If I set up another formation, there will be formations within the formations. Wouldn’t that be even more extraordinary? ”
After thinking wildly for a long time, Lin Bai meditated again.
Abundant spiritual energy pours in from the mist, and is absorbed into one's body one after another. It passes through the three spiritual apertures and returns to the sea of qi, becoming the form of spiritual liquid. Then it circulates around, slowly growing itself.
Now that the foundation has been built on three levels, the Qi Sea contains more spiritual power. Although the qualifications of the Three Spirit Apertures are poor, with the stone plate in hand and no bottlenecks, they have made rapid progress.
According to Lin Bai's assumption, he usually needs to practice the method of Hunyuan body tempering, and he also needs to be warmed and trained to practice flying knives. He also needs to make talismans and refine elixirs. He also has to be squeezed by Aunt Gu from time to time. His small realm should be a breakthrough of one in two years. layer.
Of course, the premise is that there are no bottlenecks blocking the road. Moreover, as the cultivation level gets higher, each step becomes more difficult.
Now Jiang Yatou is also building the third floor of the foundation, while Lin Bai has already strode to the fourth floor of the foundation.
I had communicated with Qu Ruyi before. Although she was imprisoned by Qu Chengjia for a long time, her cultivation level had not declined. She had just reached the third floor of the foundation building.
Sister Pei has only been building the foundation for a short time, and she just touched the edge of the second floor of the foundation.
As for Sister Huanhuan, the nicest and most considerate person, she established the foundation very early, and she has only built the fifth level of foundation now.
As for Xiu Xiu, that is unknown. Fox talks too much, but because of Lin Bai's poor conduct, he rarely talks about Xiuxiu.
Lin Bai felt that among the women around him, Jiang Xiaobai was still the fastest.
"She spends all day practicing in the black tower. If she goes out, she must seek out my dual cultivation method... I don't get any benefit from her dual cultivation method, but she takes advantage of it."
"I won't give it to her next time! Unless she is like Sister Huanhuan!"
Lin Bai was bored for a long time, and then he closed his eyes to practice.
One month passed in the blink of an eye, Lin Bai prepared his things and went up to Qingyun Mountain.
Find Gu Yao and deliver the things. The essentials of the formation are also handed back.
"How are you studying?" Gu Yao asked.
"There are no specific formations here. It's just an introductory outline. It's gone before you get a taste of it." Lin Bai said honestly.
Seeing Lin Bai's curious and dissatisfied look, Gu Yao smiled and took out a shabby book.
Judging from the material, it should be made of some kind of animal skin. There are two small words on it: Enter the formation.
"There are only a few formation masters, and there are even fewer inheritances. You have to cherish them." Gu Yao looked serious.
"Of course I cherish it!" Lin Bai immediately patted his chest and looked at it eagerly, "Senior sister, who is this person?"
"That's what the ancestor earned from outside when he was still alive." Gu Yao sighed, "Do you know about that?"
Lin Bai understood, it was the time when the Zhu family suffered. It seems that Gu Qingshan has gained something, but not much. Moreover, wherever Gu Qingshan goes, there is probably some formation.
"There is also a secret method! The ancestor must have a reward." Lin Bai asked expectantly. "Ancestor said you are greedy for too much, let's talk about it later." Gu Yao smiled.
"In the future?" Lin Bai lost his strength. How could Gu Qingshui have the same temperament as Jiang Yatou? He would never take out more things until he felt comfortable with her? But Jiang Yatou is allowed to sleep at least!
After sighing for a while, I felt that it was not unacceptable. It's also good to learn some advanced formations, which may be useful in the future.
"Then I'll take it back and study it." Lin Bai said weakly.
"No, just watch here." Gu Yao said very seriously, "Someone has to look after me, otherwise you might find something wrong. Besides, if you don't have the talent for formations, it will be in vain if you stay at my house for too long. Some days.”
Lin Bai looked at her little cave and said, "In your cave?"
"It's natural." Gu Yao chuckled and said softly: "Do you want me to sleep with you? Speaking of which, I really want to try the double cultivation method."
Lin Bai looked into her eyes and said: "I am devoted to the Tao. I am not greedy for foreign things, and I am not close to women. Senior sister, please don't make such jokes in the future. If the ancestor..." After saying this, Lin Bai remembered , Gu Qingshui once reminded herself not to indulge in female sex...
This Gu family is so overbearing, they even care about their crotch.
"Ancestor doesn't care." Gu Yao smiled, "But I didn't realize that you are really a gentleman. I wanted to stun that bitch Yang Bing and make you feel comfortable."< br>
"Don't mention it again. I have no idea about the Yang family's daughter." Lin Bai rubbed his sore eyebrows and waved his hand, "That kind of thing is not interesting." After stating his innocence, he added: "Since we have to stay for a long time, I'll go to Yang's house first to have a look, drink and talk about Taoism, and cultivate my temperament."
"You go, I'll wait for you here." Gu Yao didn't have much doubt, "Also, Miaomiao and Jiang Yu are at Zhu Jianyang's place, you can go find them yourself."
After leaving Qingyun Mountain, Lin Bai went to find Sister Huanhuan.
Lingering for a long time, dissipating the depression in my heart.
"Sister Huanhuan, you are so kind." Lin Bai was angry with Aunt Gu, and only Sister Huanhuan could comfort him.
After the fuss, Lin Bai went to look for Zhu Jianyang again.
"After going through hardships, I finally gained something. The road to the great road is not broken, and there is always a glimmer of opportunity." Zhu saw a red light on the sheep's face and a slightly unstable breath. He had just broken through the small realm and reached the seventh floor of the foundation building. .
"Grandpa Sheep will definitely make further progress!" Miaomiao flattered her from the side.
"Miaomiao is becoming more and more sensible." Zhu Jianyang liked Miaomiao very much and praised her endlessly.
After chatting for a while, Lin Bai went to look for Gu Yao, and Miaomiao chased after her.
"Master," Miaomiao grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve and said in a low voice, "When will I go back? I miss my wife."
This must be because she was tired of waiting, so she took Peining out. Although Miaomiao is young, she already knows how to use strength to gain strength, and she also knows who is more powerful in front of her master.
"In a few days." Lin Bai touched her head and comforted her: "You can practice peacefully here. When you are tired, take Xiao Yu'er and go to Yuhuan to play."
"Okay." Miaomiao nodded obediently and whispered: "Senior Feixue is so beautiful, Master..." When she saw Lin Bai staring, she laughed again and said, "Master, Senior Yang Huan also asked me I went to play in her yard and she said she liked me. ”
"Then you should always look for her and talk to her." Lin Bai smiled.
"Master, she likes to drink. If she gets drunk..." Miaomiao didn't dare to say anything more and walked away quickly.
When Lin Bai returned to Gu Yao's cave, the two of them only nodded slightly and said nothing.
When he came to the small pool in the cave, Lin Bai glanced above his head. Knowing that he was under Aunt Gu's ass, he didn't dare to say anything. He just picked up the book and read it carefully.
The formation book is made of animal skin, slightly thicker than ordinary paper, and extremely tough, and has about ten pages.
After reading a few pages, I realized that the last few pages of the previous formation summary were taken from this book.
"It turned out to be bait, and I took the bait again."
Lin Bai cursed and took a closer look.
The essence of the formation method is actually not obscure. It is to use spiritual energy to study geography and use the original power to produce other effects.
For example, the clouds in Lin Bai's sleeves cannot last long. The Feiyun Flag Formation can make up for the shortcomings. It can not only gather clouds and mist, but also block wind and rain, and can last for a long time.
The first two pages of this animal skin are about the outline, and the following is a detailed explanation of the formation.
From the simplest spirit-gathering array, to the maze array, to even more advanced five-element arrays, hallucinogenic arrays, or even extremely extensive mountain-protecting arrays.
It was only after ten pages that the formations discussed became mysterious. I know all the words, but the method of setting up the formation, and even the secrets within it, are difficult to understand, and cannot be learned by foundation-building monks.
After briefly flipping through it, Lin Bai took a closer look at the Spirit Gathering Formation.
This is a very simple formation, it can be big or small.
It can be as small as an ordinary monk can arrange according to the direction, and it can be large enough to cover an entire mountain.
Lin Bai studied it carefully and pondered the truth. Not long after, I had a splitting headache and felt at a loss.
"Don't stare for too long." Gu Yao had a smile on her face, "I didn't expect you to be really capable. Ordinary foundation-building monks will die in two quarters of an hour at most. You just stared blankly for two hours."
< br>
"I am protected by my ancestors!" Lin Bai said.
Gu Yao was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and glanced at the top of her head, as if she suspected Lin Bai was lying.
"Do you want to try it?" Gu Yao smiled again and took out the formation flag and formation disk.
Lin Bai took it, inspected it carefully, and listened to Gu Yao's explanation of the materials and patterns of the formation flag and formation plate.
"The water attribute here is abundant, so the array flags and array plates are made of water-friendly materials. Of course, if the array is successful, there is no need to worry about the choice of materials. You are a beginner, so you need to keep it simple." Gu Yao smiled. introduce.
"Wait for me to study again."
Lin Bai closed his eyes and came to the stone plate.
Do recovery first to calm the pain of the sea of consciousness.
"The material of the animal skin is different. If you look at it for a long time, your consciousness will tingle, and you will feel at a loss. I am afraid that it was taken from some kind of monster that is good at deceiving people's consciousness, and even has psychic powers."< br>
"Let's think about the formation. In the future, whether you are teaching disciples, serving Aunt Gu, or being a yin, it will be of great use. Anyway, what you learn is your own, so there is no loss."
Lin Bai sat quietly for a moment and looked around. I saw spiritual energy pouring in from outside the mist, turning into a black color, which is a sign of water spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy penetrated the mist and dispersed on the stone plate. In the past, spiritual energy could gather with just a slight movement in the heart.
Lin Bai was not so worried this time. Instead, he attracted mist and turned it into small flags.
The so-called spirit gathering array is to gather spiritual energy, which is a common formation. It is mostly used for casual cultivators in the wild, or for sects and families with low-level and scattered spiritual veins.
It doesn't cost much, and the effect depends on the person. Anyway, it is suitable for all ages and everyone likes it.
The principle of the spirit gathering array is not complicated. You need to first observe the direction of the spiritual energy, and then use the array flags to block or scatter, guide or direct according to its flow to make it gather in one place.
Because the geography of each place is different, the amount of spiritual energy is different, and the properties of spiritual energy are different. Therefore, it is necessary to adapt to local conditions and not be rigid.
The way of formation is all like this.
The spiritual energy in the stone plate disperses evenly, so the situation in the place where the formation is set up is not complicated.
Throw out the formation flags one by one, using yourself as the pivot of the formation to connect the formation flag with yourself. Then look at the flow of spiritual energy and adjust it from time to time.
"Move the flag two inches to the left." Lin Bai ordered with a snap of his fingers.
After working for a long time, the effect is slight. It's obvious that something that can be accomplished with just a move in the mind is a lot of effort to use the formation.
"I don't seem to have much talent..."
Lin Bai was not discouraged and just practiced silently.
After practicing this on the stone plate for a month, I finally got the spiritual energy in one place, but I couldn't absorb it all. No matter what, the Spirit Gathering Formation was barely completed.
Lin Bai opened his eyes and went to give Miaomiao a lesson. He gave her the task of making talismans and asked Jiang Yu to supervise her. I went to see Sister Huanhuan again, and after getting a lot of comfort, I came back to practice the formation.
After Lin Bai became familiar with the use of this formation, he changed the place again. The spiritual energy on the stone plate was suddenly scattered and no longer peaceful.
This is increasing the difficulty. The way of formation, using one mind, needs to be adapted to local conditions.
As you meditate and become familiar with the formation method, the spiritual energy in the stone plate changes from time to time, sometimes like rapids, like thick sand, or like wild and wild soil.
After working quietly on the stone plate for two and a half years, ten days have passed outside.
Lin Bai was confident that he could use the spirit gathering array as he pleased. I can't compare to everyone else, but I'm definitely at the entry level and have achieved some success.
With this skill, it is easy to go out and have a meal.
"The spiritual energy of a house and a courtyard changes, and the spiritual energy of a mountain or a place changes. If we want to gather the spiritual energy of a continuous mountain range, it is not easy to open a big river."
"However, the way of formation is not about work, but it is about work."
"The Formation Book says that to transform the changes of the five elements and connect the heaven and the earth, it is through the power of the Great Dao."
"Now I have taken the first step. The road ahead is long and difficult. When will we set up a formation and trap Aunt Gu in the water curtain cave?"
When Lin Bai opened his eyes, he had a bad idea.
"Why are you laughing?" Gu Yao asked.
"I'm laughing at that, cough cough..." Lin Bai said seriously, "I am a casual cultivator, but I have such great love from my ancestors. How lucky and scared I am? That's why my heart is full of gratitude, and I feel that the road ahead is smooth, that's why I have Laugh.”
"Then don't laugh yet." Gu Yao took out the formation flag and formation disk again, "Let's try your ability and see how talented and qualified you are."
Lin Bai took it and stroked it carefully.
"The beauty of the formation lies in one mind. Study its principles, take its shape, and use it for your own use."
After a long time, Lin Bai took action to test the formation, "You can push away the snow to find spring, and you can also burn lamps to continue the day."
