Thanks to Lord Phoenix, yangzhigang and bobo for the reward.
Ever since he first set up the formation in Luo's Manor, Zhao Ran's understanding of the formation has been much higher than ordinary people's starting point. This is all because he has opened his eyes and can observe the changes in the movement of heaven and earth. Therefore,
Later, when the Huayun Hall awarded him the "Compilation of the Five Elements Divine Formation", he had already unknowingly adjusted the formation during the actual practice and arranged it in conjunction with the movement of Qi.
However, because he had no knowledge of spiritual practice, he still respected the basic structure of the "Compilation of the Five Elements Divine Formation" when designing the formations. He neither dared nor thought of stepping out of this framework to carry out subversive activities.
changes. Sometimes he even doubts whether he should have changed the layout of the formation without permission. Today, with Zhu Qigu’s advice, Zhao Ran immediately saw the blue sky as if the clouds were clearing, and a brand new world of formations appeared before his eyes.
.
Zhao Ran was filled with admiration and flattered Zhu Qigu: "Sister, you are really humble. You are obviously very knowledgeable in formations, but you want to say that you are not good at it... My admiration for you is like a torrential river, continuous and endless.
It’s like a river overflowing and it’s out of control!”
Zhu Qigu smiled and said: "You little flatterer, you have so many flattering words...but I like it very much!" After smiling, she said seriously: "I am not being humble with you, but it is true that I am not good at formations.
, although I have also opened my heavenly eye, I am not as clever as your natural eye. I can see the general shape of the qi machine, but I cannot distinguish the changes in it. If I want to go further, I have to cultivate to a higher level.
I can lay out the formation at each level, but if I want to achieve success in the formation, in addition to observing the qi of heaven and earth, I must study the principles carefully, Tai Chi is harmonious, Yin and Yang complement each other, and the three talents are breathing.
, Four Symbols Demonstration, Five Elements and Inversions, Liuhe Reversal, Seven Stars Replacement, Bagua Changes, and Nine Palaces Transformation, all of which are extremely complex and complex knowledge. You don’t have the perseverance or the perseverance to complete it, and you are not afraid to tell me.
It’s a joke, I don’t even have the patience to read many basic Taoist scriptures, so it would really kill me if I had to study these things so hard.”
Zhao Ran nodded, he had a deep understanding of this. Just the "Compilation of the Five Elements Divine Formation", which only touched on various knowledge of the five elements' generation and restraint, made Zhao Ran suffer a lot.
In the Taoist classics, there are no books that specifically analyze the principles and principles of the Five Elements, such as the birth and restraint of the Five Elements. This knowledge is mixed in various scriptures, such as "Yinfu Jing of the Yellow Emperor", "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Qi", and "Tai Xuan Jing"
", "Huangji Sutra", "Baopuzi Immortal Sutra", "Tai Shang Huang Ting Inner and Outer Jade Scenery Sutra", etc., especially many things are only in the annotations, explanations and sparse of various sutras, and these annotations are
, the number of explanations and interpretations greatly exceeds the number of this classic, and it is difficult to read through it, let alone memorize it. As for understanding, everyone has their own ideas, and there is no unified standard at all, and the roots of these different standards
, and comes from the mysterious and mysterious Four Sons Sutra.
Fortunately, he has a superb memory and can quickly retrieve and compare this knowledge from various scriptures in his mind. He can filter them one by one based on the specific situation and thoroughly understand the knowledge one by one. Only in this way can he master the concepts mentioned in "Compiled Essentials" in the shortest possible time.
If it had been anyone else, they would have been submerged in the vast smoke-like Taoist scriptures.
Zhu Qigu laughed at herself: "So, I work with the formation, what should I say? Well, according to others, I can't be on the stage."
Zhao Ran immediately supported him and said: "Sister, just based on what you said just now, your understanding of formations is far more than others. Who dares to say that you can't stand up? This person is really arrogant!"
Zhu Qigu poked Zhao Ran in the forehead and said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense just to flatter me. He is not arrogant, he is really capable - he stands at the pinnacle of the formation!"
Zhao Ran was very curious and asked: "Is it the Great Refiner of Chu?"
Zhu Qigu shook her head: "Master often said that there are countless knowledge and teachings in the world. You must not be dazzled and become greedy. The purpose of practice is to achieve immortality and seek great freedom and carefreeness. You only need to
If you study one thing to the extreme, you will naturally be able to attain enlightenment. Otherwise, after a hundred years, you will end up with nothing but hatred. His energy is all focused on this, and he will have no time to study other methods."
These principles seem simple, but for a Chu brother like Zhao Ran who has no one to guide him - in fact, he is not even a Chu brother, but it is extremely rare guidance. Zhao Ran sat by the campfire and listened to Zhu Qigu's explanation of the Tao method.
Understanding, listening to her impart the experience of facing the enemy, it was already three o'clock in the night before I knew it.
Zhao Ran was listening intently when he suddenly saw Zhu Qigu frowning slightly, and then snorted coldly: "To the west, half a mile away, there is the third big tree."
Zhao Ran was startled, and before he could react, the fourth senior brother had suddenly disappeared, leaving only an afterimage at the entrance of the cave. Looking back in a blink of an eye, he was already more than ten feet away and out of sight at the entrance of the cave, looking like a ghost.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
"Young people dare to peek at me at night. I don't know where the courage comes from!"
Zhao Ran quickly got up, walked quickly to the entrance of the cave, and looked in the direction where the fourth senior brother was going. Because it was dark and under the valley, Zhao Ran couldn't see clearly with his eyesight, and could only see a blur.
The trees swayed.
After waiting for a moment, a dazzling white light suddenly rose in that direction. Through this white light, Zhao Ran saw the fourth senior brother standing on the treetops, holding a sword upside down in his right hand and holding a golden bowl in his left palm.
The white light disappeared suddenly, and after a moment, the figure of the fourth senior brother slipped out of the night and slowly returned to the cave.
Tong Lao was still lying in the corner of the cave wall, but he had woken up and asked, "How is it?"
The fourth senior brother threw the golden bowl to the ground with a sullen face and said, "Run away."
Tonglao asked again: "Buddhist demon monk?"
The fourth senior brother nodded, returned to the entrance of the cave, and continued to sit with his sword in hand, not knowing what he was thinking.
The bonfire danced, reflecting on the golden bowl, but the golden bowl showed a strange blue light.
Zhao Ran squatted down and was about to pick up the golden bowl and look at it carefully, but Zhu Qigu stopped him: "Don't move, it's poisonous and you can't touch it!"
Zhao Ran was startled and quickly retracted his hand. He saw Tong Lao throwing the wine gourd over. Zhu Qigu reached out to catch it. First, Zhao Ran took a few steps back, and then poured a few drops of yellow-orange wine into the golden bowl.
When the wine dripped onto the golden bowl, it immediately made a "sizzling" sound, and smoke exploded like oil poured into water.
Zhu Qigu sneered and said, "What a thief!" She waved her sleeves, wrapped the smoke into a ball, and sent it out of the cave.
After removing the poison, Zhu Qigu beckoned and put away the golden bowl, held it in her hand and played with it for a moment, then threw it to Zhao Ran and said: "I have erased the mark of the owner of the golden bowl, you can go ahead and play with it. You don't have Buddhist skills.
You can’t activate the magical power of this golden bowl, but this object is made of a fine magnetic mother’s golden body, which can resist the erosion of magic. When you encounter danger, you can take it out to resist one or two, and it is also good as a shield."
Zhao Ran took the golden bowl with both hands and felt his arms sink, almost falling to the ground without being carried away.
Zhu Qigu added: "The golden mother-magnetic body came from the Haixin Mountain in the Xia Kingdom. The heart of the child can change any shape or size. Although the gold mother-magnetic body used in this golden bowl is scrap, it still has some charm. You move the handle.
, there is a trick there..."
Zhao Ran hurriedly turned the golden bowl around and checked the handle. Sure enough, he saw a dial spring. He turned the dial spring inward and saw that the golden bowl suddenly shrank, and instantly changed from the size of a round basin to three fingers.
The wide gold bracelet fits perfectly on the wrist!
He didn't expect to get such a good treasure, and Zhao Ran was overjoyed. He peeked at the fourth senior brother at the entrance of the cave. Zhu Qigu smiled and said: "Just keep it, the fourth senior brother only likes to use the sword, and doesn't care about the rest... Senior Brother
There are many treasures in the wine gourd, and although the golden bowl is good, he would not miss this one."
Zhao Ran quickly agreed, thanked Mr. Tong and the fourth senior brother respectfully, and sat aside to fiddle with the golden bowl. As for Zhu Qigu, he didn't need to say any words of thanks, as that would be too intrusive.
