Chapter 140: Going back to the mountain and using stupid methods
By the time the sixty-four jade pillars were carved, the sky was still gloomy and not completely dark.
Zhang Wenfeng's front chest, two sleeves, and shoes were stained with a thick layer of white jade powder. Even his hair and face were covered with gray, and the black cloth bag on his waist turned into a floral cloth bag.
After finishing the work in one go, he didn't feel tired or exhausted, but felt extremely relaxed.
None of the jade pillars were modified or damaged, and there was no unnecessary mistake. This is all due to his concentration.
In addition, his contribution to copying and organizing the scriptures in the past few days cannot be erased.
Put down the carving knife, pat the powder on your body several times, wipe the scabbard clean, and clean the room.
Seeing a man standing upright outside, he asked a few questions and found out that it was Yun Qiuhe who was guarding the door for him. He thanked the man and asked the man to clean up the garbage with a dustpan and then go on his own.
I went to the well to fetch water and wash myself. My face and hands were clean, but my dirty clothes were white and gray.
Seeing that the courtyard master's hall was brightly lit and many people were talking, he guessed that experts sent by the two sects were here.
It was inconvenient for him to go to the court to greet him like this, so he went back to the house, put down the basin, and went straight to the dining hall to eat. When he came back, it was already dark, so he closed the door and sat down to rest quietly.
After half an hour, light candles and oil lamps in the dark.
Pile one hundred and fifty spiritual energy stones on a clean desk and prepare an inkstone with cinnabar ink.
He recited the sutra silently in his mouth three times. After that, he dipped a talisman pen in red ink. He held a small spiritual stone with three fingers of his left hand. Under the candlelight, he used the tip of the talisman pen to trace the lines in every square inch with the utmost delicacy.
Capable of doing things.
In the past two days, he took the time to practice the positive and negative wooden and Bagua runes he was going to draw on paper.
This kind of rune is not complicated. The difficulty is mainly in controlling the strokes. The spiritual energy stone is not big, and it is quite as delicate as making a dojo in a snail shell. This is what Zhang Wenfeng is good at, and his control of the strokes is almost minute.
Yuan Qi flows from the tip of the pen, neither urgent nor slow, leaving behind spider silk runes, and a little Yuan Qi penetrates deeply into the body to communicate with the spiritual energy.
It's a very focused and delicate job, and he can endure it.
The candles were replaced several times, and the lights were turned off when the bang was sounded at the third watch.
Early on the next morning, Zhang Wenfeng washed his hands, chanted sutras in his room, finished morning classes, and went out for a trip.
In the early morning mist, the street obviously felt a little less lively and a little more dull.
Everyone was whispering in hushed tones, and when they saw Zhang Guanzhu, who was wearing a Taoist robe and was dirty, approaching, everyone hurriedly stopped talking, for fear of causing trouble.
After breakfast on the street, Zhang Wenfeng went to a clothing store and bought a blue robe, shoes, belt, black bag and other items. When he came back, he changed the inside and outside, and then went to the hall of Master Wu to say hello.
Fu and Yun were also there, and the three of them drank tea in silence.
The experts sent by the two sects went out on patrol last night and did not return.
"Zhang Guanzhu, have you finished carving the formation pillars?"
Yun Qiuhe saw Zhang Wenfeng's appearance as if she were seeing a relative. She was thinking about the formation pillars carved with cursive scriptures. What would the formation look like?
She had no idea whether it would work or not. Only by witnessing it with her own eyes would she know the result. She put down the tea cup and asked hurriedly.
Zhang Wenfeng joined the group first, and the two of them greeted each other, smiled at Yun Qiuhe and said, "The carving is finished, I'm going to go back to the mountain to set up the formation today, and I came here to tell the master of the hospital my leave!"
He is a free law enforcement officer, and the excuse to ask for leave is a polite word.
But now that the situation was special, he had to say hello to the director of the hospital and inform him of his whereabouts.
Yun Qiuhe stood up and rushed to say, "I'll go with you."
Fu Gujing seemed to be choking on her tea and coughed a few times, "Hey, my silly junior sister has become a master in the lower realm. She has reached a higher realm and is not careless, so she is being manipulated by Brother Zhang."
He didn't need to know the cause and effect to guess that Brother Zhang had tinkered with something that interested his junior sister, and wanted to recruit a free expert to be a bodyguard.
Otherwise, the master of the hospital would not allow Brother Zhang to leave the city.
He is so angry.
Wu Qianping laughed and said, "Is one day enough?"
Brother Zhang would never play tricks on his own people, but he was forced to go back to the mountain to visit his senior brothers and sisters.
Setting up formations and the like is just an excuse, and a few days may not be enough. You have to calculate the heavenly stems and earthly branches, measure the heavenly phases, observe the hours, etc. You have to adapt to the situation, which is very complicated.
"Thank you for your understanding!"
Zhang Wenfeng knew that he couldn't hide it from the two of them, so he clasped his fists at Fu Gujing and stopped sitting down to drink tea. He said to Yun Qiuhe, "Aren't you going back to the sect today?" He made an invitation gesture.
The two of them walked outside.
"Don't worry, you can come back tomorrow."
Yun Qiuhe walked out of the door, turned around and winked: "You guys, you think too much, I just like to follow Guanzhu Zhang! Haha." She has now advanced in cultivation, from a girl to a confirmed master, the two of them don't care whether she Living.
Fu Gujing shook her head angrily: "What a crazy girl! She doesn't look like a master at all."
Dean Wu smiled and said: "I think it's good if you do it spontaneously!"
When he came to the house, Yun Qiuhe admired the bundled formation pillars. The facets were filled with red ink, and the handwriting was elegant and elegant. In contrast to the clean white jade, it was pleasing to the eye.
"The scriptures you have carved are unique and the formations you have arranged will have some magical effects?"
"Now I just hope that the formation can be arranged and activated smoothly."
Zhang Wenfeng shook open four oilcloth bags and packed them with quick hands and feet. There were eight pillars in a bundle, two bundles were stuffed into one bag, and ropes were tied outside the bags for easy lifting. There were two bags for each person. God Zhongshan helped him measure the fortune points, and everything was fine. The truth is that he is self-effacing.
Yun Qiuhe carried two bags and walked out the door first, saying, "It will definitely be no problem."
She is more confident than Zhang Wenfeng.
Last time in Xiahe Village, in order to save her and Chen Qingqiao who fell into the water formation, Zhang Guanzhu hastily set up a Zhenlong Mu Xing Bagua Formation in a moment. With his talent and ability, even the decades of practice that exploited the formation could not be done. Compare.
"Cheng Jiyan! If the formation is completed, I will ask Senior Sister Yue to teach you the secret recipe for preparing water to protect charcoal paintings."
"Seriously? Thank you very much!"
Yun Qiuhe was overjoyed. How could she refuse this reward? It was exactly what she wanted.
The two of them left the city from the cold west gate, ran along the official road where few people walked, and arrived at the foot of Xianling Mountain in less than a quarter of an hour.
The black donkey ran out of the forest with the baby badger on its back, and first sang a welcome song at the top of its voice. She was so happy that she was out of breath. The second senior brother ran from the other side and shouted from a distance: "The temple master is back. Come... Fellow Taoist Yun is here too."
Wei Xingde, the dark-skinned boy, and the old lame man walked quickly out of the woods to the east. They had already laid the foundation and were building the wall. They originally hired several masons to help, but none of them came today.
After saying hello, Yue Anyan floated down from the mountain.
"I heard that there was a demon in the city yesterday and many people died?"
When the old cripple saw the fourth girl dragging the city girl away to talk, he leaned closer and asked in a low voice.
Zhang Wenfeng saw that several people were concerned and showed a little nervousness. The secret news spread very quickly, so he picked and talked about it. At the end, he told everyone not to panic. There are experts who are tracking down the thieves who caused the rebellion.
"Second Senior Brother, you will help me set up the mountain gate formation later. With the protection of the formation, I won't be afraid of the little thief from attacking."
"No matter what the master assigns, I can do it if you work hard."
After hearing part of the truth and seeing that the temple leader had come back to set up the formation, the old lame man hurriedly said: "You are busy, you are busy, we are going to build the wall so as not to disturb your business."
A few people walked to the east, and the watcher returned to the mountain. Everyone had a backbone.
Zhang Wenfeng and his second senior brother each carried two bags of formation pillars and followed the donkeys to the edge of the Lingquan pool.
"She's not coming here, is she?"
The second senior brother, like a fussy housekeeper, put down the bag gently and asked through a message.
"No, she will only look after us outside and will not spy on the core layout of our formation."
Zhang Guanzhu reassured the second senior brother, and then asked the senior brother to go to the mountain and bring over a basket of copper coins that had been kept in the main hall, as well as shovels and other tools.
With Lingquan as the center, Zhang Wenfeng stepped on his feet and walked around in circles.
From time to time, he used his sword to dig a small hole in the ground and draw a cross sign. Zhong Wenyong corrected the positions of some hexagram points according to the time.
Zhang Wenfeng studied the formation diagram for several days, analyzed and compared it with the positions where Zhong Wenyong made changes.
"I'll teach you a stupid trick. You first memorize the fixed array. After positioning, start from the first yang point. You go to the next yin point, then close your eyes and feel it carefully, and use your 'pure heart' to understand
Compare the different differences within three steps nearby, up, down, left, right, and back, and remember the subtle Qi movement.
Then, by analogy, find them one by one. There are rarely changes beyond three steps. But remember, the first position cannot be wrong. The so-called slightest difference can make a difference of a thousand miles. If there is a difference in the front, it will be a big mistake in the back.
"
Zhong Wenyong taught a stupid method that does not require complicated calculations, rote memorization and then rely on feelings.
Zhang Wenfeng smiled.
This stupid method is good, and it is very suitable for people like him who are busy and have no time.
In terms of perception, he is still quite confident.
