Chapter 978 Gushan Formation
On the lonely mountain, the Gu family's large spiritual weapon stands tall.
Amidst the rumbling sound, the huge spiritual arms, like the arms of giants, were digging into the mountain, digging out mines, leveling the collapsed mountain, and reshaping it into a foundation according to the plan of the ink painting, as a formation. foundation.
Mo Hua wants to rebuild a grand formation on the lonely mountain.
Of course, this formation cannot reach the level of a large formation.
To construct a second-grade formation, even the strength of the divine consciousness drawn by ink is far from enough.
In addition, the huge manpower, material resources, long time, and huge consumption of spiritual stones and spiritual ink are not something Mo Hua can afford.
What the ink painting constructed was just a large complex formation.
However, this complex formation is extremely large in scale, covering most of Gushan, with various formations, complete with Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, and needs to be compatible with various formation patterns. In a sense, it can be said to be the "prototype" of a large formation.
This is what ink painting is used to "practice".
He couldn't build a second-grade grand formation yet, so he could only settle for the next best thing and use a large complex formation to stack up a pseudo-grand formation.
Although it is a "pseudo formation", it is extremely difficult because of its large size.
This requires an extremely deep foundation of formations, extremely profound knowledge of formations, and the ability to control an extremely large number of second-grade formations.
In addition, to build a large-scale complex formation, the formation master also needs to have a big picture, the general context of the formation, the overall formation hub, the core formation eye, the formation compatibility, and macroscopic scheduling, arrangement and control.
There are only a handful of formation masters who truly have this kind of ability or relevant experience.
Since leaving Gushan and returning to the sect, Mo Hua has actually been thinking about this matter.
Whenever he has free time, he is planning this large-scale complex formation of Gushan.
After pondering for a while, Mo Hua finally drew the formation diagram.
After the plan for the complex formation was planned, Mo Hua felt uneasy and went to ask Mr. Xun for his opinion.
When Mr. Xun saw this large solitary mountain formation, his inner emotions were indescribable.
He also saw that this was actually the "prototype" of a large formation.
It's just that the current capabilities are limited, as well as the lack of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, so it has been changed to a second-rate re-formation.
But the grand idea and the context of the formation are obvious.
Especially, in the eyes of a profound fifth-grade formation master like Mr.
Mr. Xun remembered the news he had heard from Tongxian City, and suddenly there was another storm in his heart.
"Is it really possible that this kid built a first-grade formation back then?"
The main formation master of the First Grade Formation...
How old was he at that time?
Mr. Xun was a little stunned.
He sighed slightly, then looked at the Gushan Formation drawn in ink over and over again, pointed out a few errors, improved a few nodes, deleted a few formation pivots... and then put the finishing touches on it, making the entire array more beautiful. Condensed, more perfect.
After careful consideration of the ink painting, I benefited a lot and became more and more impressed by Mr. Xun's formation attainments.
But with Mr. Xun's "correction", the ink painting was completely relieved.
He began to formally follow this formation diagram to develop his own plan to implement his idea of a large-scale complex formation, thereby gradually laying the foundation for his future construction of a true second-grade formation.
Under the coordination of all parties in Mo Hua, construction of the large-scale Gushan Restoration Formation has now officially started.
This was "licensed" by Daotingsi.
This large-scale monastic project is a "major political achievement", and Gushan Daotingsi is naturally happy to see its success.
Even Supervisor Xia used his supervisory power to allocate some spirit stones to support the construction of the Gushan Fuxing Formation.
In addition, the Gu family also contributed a lot of material resources.
Second-grade large-scale spiritual weapons are basically transferred from the Gu family.
The Gu family is willing to help partly because the Gu family does have a part of the weapon refining industry in Gushan.
Although this industry is very meager, thanks to Master Gu's efforts, it is now the "backbone" of Gushan City.
Without the Gu family's weapon refining business, a large number of people in Gushan City would starve to death.
The Gu family has an upright family tradition, and for this reason, they will naturally not sit idly by.
What's more, this is the "formation project" coordinated by Mo Hua. If they don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, they have to sell Mo Hua's favor.
Wen Renwan devoted himself to ink painting and helped a lot.
As the legitimate daughter of the Wenren family and the young lady of the Shangguan family, she even used her own money to cover part of the expenses for the construction of the complex.
As for the manpower, most of it comes from the casual cultivators of Gushan City.
The casual cultivators in Gushan City are very poor, and most of them have too much to eat.
Mo Hua then "relief with work" and built a large-scale isolated mountain complex to give them something to do.
And as long as they help, no matter how much they contribute, they will have a bite to eat.
Even those orphans who are weak and helpless can have a full meal as long as they help move a few stones.
The next question is the formation.
A large complex formation contains a large number of formations. Although it is not as good as a large formation, it is still much more complicated than ordinary formation projects.
These formations would take a lot of time even if they were painted in ink.
But he doesn't have that much time, and he can't stay here in Gushan for too long.
But if you hire other formation masters, it will cost a lot of spiritual stones, and Mo Hua is not at ease.
After thinking about it, Mo Hua came up with a good idea.
He went to find Mr. Xun again and said that he wanted to give his junior brothers and junior sisters a chance to practice the formation.
Mr. Xun understood what Mo Hua meant. After thinking about it for a while, his eyes lit up and he readily agreed.
This is indeed a good opportunity.
The formation method cannot be "talked about on paper", the most important thing is to "apply what you have learned".
But in the sect, there are not many opportunities to apply what you have learned.
Gushan City is a good opportunity.
At the same time, this is also a very meaningful thing that benefits one party and is in line with the purpose of Taixu Sect.
Mr. Xun nodded and said, "You can arrange everything."
So a few days later, while still in class, Mo Hua brought a group of juniors from the Taixu Sect to Gushan for "extracurricular formation practice."
This group of junior fellow apprentices have expertise in formations, and they are also motivated to become outstanding formation masters in the future.
Although they were educated at home, they had always drawn formations on paper, and it was almost the first time for them to actually participate in the construction. Such a large-scale monastic project found it both novel and interesting.
This matter was led by Mo Hua, the "little senior brother".
Ink painting even allocated part of the merits that had already overflowed from themselves, and it seemed that they could not be used up at present, as "remuneration" for their painting array.
Therefore, all the disciples painted very seriously.
They already have profound family knowledge. They can join the Taixu Sect, and they are all the "leaders" of their respective families. They are geniuses in formations. In the Taixu Sect, they all study formations hard, so the formations they draw are Law, fast and good.
Many disciples are secretly competing to see who can draw faster or better.
Everyone is in high spirits.
But soon, they saw the Mo Huahua formation with their own eyes.
In the sect, everything is done on paper, one painting after another. No matter how fast the ink painting is, it just looks like that.
But here in Gushan, when such large-scale formation projects required a huge number of formations, they saw the true "horror" of Mo Hua.
Ink Hua held the pen and his strokes were flowing like a dragon or a snake. While others were just drawing a few formation patterns, he had already sketched out a series of formations.
The brushwork is superb, and the formation patterns are neat and exquisite, as if they were rubbed from the formation map, without any mistakes.
I know every formation diagram by heart, so skillfully that I don’t even need to look at it.
And it is so fast that no matter what the formation is, the spiritual ink is winding, and in a few breaths, the formation is formed from the ink strokes.
A completely natural aura flows between the formations, which is breathtaking.
All the disciples were stunned.
Only then did they realize that the younger senior brother kept a low profile on weekdays, and his formation strength was far more terrifying than imagined.
All the junior brothers were a little depressed.
However, after being depressed, he developed a fighting spirit.
With the "little senior brother" as an example, even if they can't catch up, they can't fall too far behind and let the little senior brother look down on them.
All the disciples, looking at the back of the ink painting, began to concentrate on their expressions, go all out, and try their best to draw the formations assigned to them quickly and well.
Mo Hua was tired from painting, so he stopped to take a breath. He wanted to encourage everyone, but when he turned around, he saw that everyone was working hard and drawing formations meticulously. He was surprised and very relieved.
"They are all materials that can be made..."
With the "big genius" Mo Hua and a bunch of "little geniuses" from the Taixu Sect, the entire Gushan Complex was constructed unusually fast.
In less than ten days, the main body of the formation was constructed.
Mo Hua could just draw some fragmentary formations by himself, and he planned to take these junior brothers back to Taixu Sect.
Coming down from Gushan and arriving at Gushan City, the scenery along the way was not very good.
The mountains are desolate and the cities are ruined.
On the street, there were casual cultivators in ragged clothes and sallow complexions, as well as orphans who were as black as coal and as skinny as firewood.
Zheng Fang frowned and hesitated for a long time. Finally, he slowly spoke and asked Mo Hua:
"Brother, how can these monks... be so poor?" When they came, they rode a carriage, and there was construction on the isolated mountain, so they didn't really see the scenery of the city.
The other disciples of Taixu Sect also looked at Mo Hua with unbearable expressions.
Mo Hua was startled and asked, "Have you never seen this type of monk before?"
Zheng Fang said "hmm" and everyone else nodded.
Mo Hua's eyes paused for a moment, then he understood.
Zheng Fang and the others are all children of aristocratic families. No matter how bad their background is, they are still protected by their families. They can be regarded as "pampered". The people they associate with are all children of aristocratic families. The places they go in and out of are either big families, big sects, or... A prosperous fairy city.
It’s not that they have never seen poor people.
In all the fairy cities, there are some poor monks who dress simply and eat simply. They cannot afford expensive spiritual weapons and do not have many spiritual stones to cultivate.
In their opinion, they are already very poor monks.
But the real "poverty" is far beyond their imagination.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Just like poor people, they can't imagine how rich they will be if they are truly "rich".
The rich cannot imagine how poor the real "poor" will be.
Mo Hua's mood is a little complicated.
Zheng Fang asked: "Little brother, how many poor people are there?"
Mo Hua was silent for a moment and could only say conservatively: "At least half of the world is composed of monks like this."
Of the remaining half, most are probably doing better, but not much.
We still have to worry about our livelihood and endure hardships for our spiritual practice.
There are only a very small number of true descendants of aristocratic families.
But Jiuzhou is too big and there are too many monks.
Although the proportion of children from aristocratic families is small, there are definitely a lot of them. When they gather together and mingle with each other, they will have the illusion that everything is prosperous and full of aristocratic families.
But prosperity is just a corner.
Underneath the prosperity lies a more real cruelty.
For the first time, these junior brothers tore apart a corner of prosperity and saw the most miserable truth in the world.
Everyone was silent for a moment.
Seeing this, Mo Hua sighed slightly.
These disciples are all children of aristocratic families. When they grow up, they may also be obsessed with fame and fortune.
But at least at this time, they are not deeply involved in the world, and they still have a sincere heart, and they will feel compassion for the poverty in this world.
Mo Hua smiled gently and comforted them:
"The formations you drew in Gushan will serve as the foundation to build a large mine, providing a future for the poor casual cultivators in Gushan City, allowing them to live a better life little by little."
"Understand the way of heaven and benefit all living beings..."
"Your formation has changed their situation, and also changed the destiny of their generation, and even the generations to come."
"This is the secret of the formation, and it is also the 'Tao' that the formation master seeks throughout his life..."
Including Zheng Fang, all the disciples were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes gradually brightened.
"Understand the way of heaven and benefit all living beings..."
This sentence touched their hearts and stayed in their hearts like a seed, taking root and sprouting little by little.
……
After seeing off Zheng Fang and the others, Mo Hua did not return to Taixumen, but went to the weapon refining shop in Gushan City.
The large-scale formation in Gushan is only the first step.
Originally, almost all of the ore in the Gushan Mountain had been mined, but the Shen family ignored everything and blew up half of the Gushan Mountain, exposing some of the ore that was buried underground or that had been difficult to mine before.
These ores are naturally not as valuable as chalcopyrite, but after refining, there will be quite good profits, enough for casual cultivators in Gushan City to make a living.
But the key lies in "refining".
The large-scale complex formation in Gushan is used to reconstruct the mine, just like what Mo Hua did in Nanyue City.
But Gushan is already very barren, so the ore mined needs to be further "refined."
Refining requires a more profound formation.
These formations, without exception, are all second-grade high-level formations, and even include some second-grade and nineteenth-level formations.
Among the current disciples of Taixu Sect, only ink paintings can be drawn.
These formations are drawn in a large furnace.
From then on, the ore mined on the Gushan Mountain will be sent to the refining shop, where it will be refined into purer spiritual ore in this large-scale furnace, and then processed for refining.
Master Gu led all the weapon refiners and has already completed the preliminary construction of the furnace.
The huge furnace, like a strange beast that can swallow ore, occupies almost half of the weapons refinery shop.
After that, the formations required for the furnace are drawn one by one with ink, and it is considered completed.
The Nineteen Pattern Formation is the pinnacle of second-level formations in the public domain. For ordinary second-level formation masters, it is extremely difficult to draw this type of formation.
But the ink painting spirit has already formed a pill, so he can paint these formations as easily as eating and drinking, and it doesn't take much effort.
Although this furnace is large, its size is definitely not comparable to Gushan's complex formation.
Therefore, although there are many formations involved, these numbers and the "monster"-like ink paintings of the formations can be solved by one person.
After spending some time to roughly draw the formation on the furnace, Mo Hua asked Master Gu to withdraw from the crowd and stay alone in the furnace, preparing to draw the last formation.
This is a desperate battle.
Second grade, twenty patterns, secondary thunder flow array.
This is the Yuan Magnetic Absolute Formation that Wen Renwan secretly took out from Shangguan's house and gave it to Mo Hua. It is also the first and second grade Absolute Formation that Mo Hua has mastered.
I don’t know if it’s because Mo Hua has returned to the current of thunder and magnetism and understood part of the origin of thunder and magnetism.
He learned this "Secondary Thunder Current Absolute Formation" unexpectedly smoothly, and it didn't take much time at all.
This time, the function of the thunder flow array is actually simple, that is, through the formation method, the "secondary thunder flow" is directionally derived.
However, secondary thunder currents cover a wide range of areas and have different uses.
Mo Hua specifically went to consult Elder Zheng, and then he realized that this secondary thunder flow formation was actually a "production" type of ultimate formation.
The secondary thunder flow derived from it has only one purpose, which is to magnetize ink ores and generate "magnetic ink".
Magnetic ink is very precious.
Therefore, the formation method for producing "magnetic ink" is also extremely rare.
But Mo Hua had never imagined before that Shangguan's secondary thunder flow formation was actually used to produce magnetic ink.
No matter how big the family is, they all operate various industries. It is not surprising that the Shangguan family collects such industrial formations.
This formation seems to be a reward from Daoting, and there may be other reasons, but when it comes to the Shangguan family and Daoting, Mo Hua is unknown.
All he needs to do is learn this formation and then put it into practice.
Moreover, this must-have formation was given to him by Aunt Wan.
Now, he will use this extraordinary force in the Gu family's weapon refining business, and part of the income will be given back to Aunt Wan, which is a return of favor.
After Mo Hua thought about it, he began to draw this secondary thunder flow array of the second grade and twenty patterns on the last furnace.
In this way, this last small furnace became a "magnetic ink furnace".
It's just on the surface that no one can see it.
No one even knew that the ink painting in the furnace of the Gushan Weapon Refining Shop had drawn a perfect formation without anyone noticing.
Even Master Gu doesn't know.
Mo Hua only told him that this last furnace could produce a small amount of valuable magnetic ink.
But there are many ways to produce magnetic ink, and they are very secret. Master Gu doesn't understand much. He just marvels at the ink painting and turns decay into magical formations.
Mo Hua then told Master Gu: "Behind the magnetic ink furnace, where the ink stone is magnetized, there is a jade slip. It should be replaced every month. Remember to keep the replaced jade slip and bring it to me when you have time. ”
"Jade slips?" Master Gu didn't quite understand, but he didn't ask any more questions.
Although Mo Hua only built the foundation, in Master Gu's eyes, he was already considered an unfathomable "master".
Especially after experiencing the Gushan trip, ink painting became even more unfathomable in Master Gu's eyes.
Master Gu solemnly said: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely remember it."
Mo Hua nodded with satisfaction.
These jade slips are of great use to him.
The "magnetic ink furnace" drives the formation through the spirit stone to generate secondary thunder flow, "magnetizes" the ore, and generates "magnetic ink".
Since there are secondary thunder currents, secondary thunder patterns will naturally be left behind.
These secondary thunder patterns are generated and reacted in the magnetic ink furnace, and will eventually be recorded one by one on the jade slips with ink paintings.
These secondary thunder patterns are completely different types of formation patterns.
The ink painting will use the secondary thunder patterns on these jade slips to return the depth of the thunder magnetic array flow from another angle.
In other words, once this magnetic ink furnace is running, it will produce magnetic ink, which will increase the income of the weapon refiner. At the same time, he will also continuously produce a large number of "secondary thunder patterns" for ink painting.
These secondary thunder patterns will provide abundant thunder magnet materials, allowing Mo Hua to return to the source of thunder magnet array flow faster and more conveniently, and strengthen his "thunder magnet villain".
