Chapter 2 Taoist stele
The ink painting can be remembered from time to time, and this Taoist monument appears in the sea of ??consciousness, and there are some vague memories.
The ink painting in my memory spent a short life in another world without spiritual energy.
In that lifetime, my family was ordinary, but I worked hard in my studies and had good grades. I was admitted to university and majored in art. I liked to study Chinese painting and calligraphy.
After graduation, I joined a large company to work as an artist, worked overtime, and died of overwork in my twenties.
Study when I was a student, worked after graduation, and lived a life of tension and anxiety.
When I came to my senses, I found that I was living in a mess and dying out of control.
A moment before death, the revolving lantern of a lifetime passed by in front of your eyes.
I have never done anything truly valuable in my life: I have never been filial to my parents, I have not pursued ideals, I have no dreams, I have no love, and I have never seen the scenery of the world...
These memories are vague, and sometimes ink paintings cannot tell the difference between true and false.
Zhuangsheng dreams of a butterfly, I don’t know if it is Zhuangsheng dreaming of a butterfly or if it is the butterfly dreaming of a butterfly dreaming of a butterfly.
After a long time, ink painting will no longer be entangled.
The past is gone, and now he is only ten years old, and the world he lives in is the realm of practicing Taoism.
And he is a monk.
A monk who can fully understand the way of heaven, soar into the nine states of Xu, raise his hands to pick the sun and the moon, and overturn his hands to bury the stars!
Of course, it can also be a monk who can cultivate qi for a lifetime, neither fly nor martial arts, and can''t use a few magic tricks, making a humble living...
If there is no Taoist stele, I guess I should be the humble latter.
The Taoist stele is suspended in the sea of ??consciousness of ink paintings.
The vast and ancient, strange and incomplete, the body of the monument looks nothing, and it seems that there is a vast and obscure aura floating. In a trance, it is also as silent as empty and has nothing...
There can be used to draw formations on the surface of the empirical monument, and every time the formation is drawn, the spiritual consciousness of the ink painting will be enhanced.
There are all karmas in practicing Taoism and formations are the most respected!
Formation is the most difficult category to learn in various industries of Taoism, and the most important thing in learning formation is spiritual consciousness!
The formation is composed of formation patterns, which are the patterns of the heavenly way drawn by ancient monks who worked hard to realize the way of heaven.
The patterns of the formation are both like simple words and simple paintings, which contain endless mysteries.
When drawing a formation, the sea of ??consciousness communicates with the mystery of the heavenly way will consume a huge amount of spiritual consciousness.
The monk has insufficient spiritual consciousness and cannot draw a formation, otherwise the spiritual consciousness will easily be exhausted, and even the sea of ??consciousness will be broken and the body will die and disappear. To become a formation master, you need to constantly learn various formation diagrams and practice various formations.
Therefore, formations are difficult to learn and practice, and formation masters are prone to collapse and die due to insufficient spiritual consciousness and forced drawing formations.
When painting draws formations on the Taoist stele, it will consume spiritual consciousness, but when he erases the drawn formations, these spiritual consciousnesses will be returned instantly, making the spiritual consciousness full of the spiritual consciousness of the ink painting.
From existence to non-existence, and from nothing to existence, it is like the great way, mysterious and extraordinary.
At the same time, every time the ink painting draws the formation, the spiritual consciousness will increase slightly. Although it is small, it is indeed increasing.
As far as Mo Hua knows, there is no way to practice spiritual consciousness in the world, and most of the enhancement of spiritual consciousness depends on breakthroughs in the realm.
Therefore, even if the increased spiritual consciousness is very small, it is extremely rare.
As long as you keep drawing formations on the Taoist stele, ink painting can improve your formation level. At the same time, as long as you keep drawing formations, your spiritual consciousness will continue to be enhanced.
With a strong spiritual sense, ink painting can learn more, higher-level, and more powerful formations.
One day, Mo Hua can become a powerful formation master.
The status of the formation master is respectful. Even if it is just an ordinary formation master who has not reached the first grade, he will have a considerable income from spiritual stones when drawing formations for others.
Once you become a formation master and draw various mysterious formations, you can continue to practice with the foundation of your life, and you will not be just a qi-refining cultivator for your whole life.
Mo Hua said silently in her heart.
But it is also difficult to become a formation master.????It is difficult to learn formations and difficult to be a formation master.
Among the categories of Taoist cultivation set by the Dao Ting, the recognition of formation masters is the strictest, even the most stringent.
The formation is composed of array patterns. The basic formation only contains one array pattern. Each additional array pattern will have one level. The formation will have an increase in its effectiveness and the required spiritual consciousness will be greatly increased.
If you draw one to five formation patterns, you can be an apprentice in the formation.
If you draw six to eight formation patterns, you can be called a formation master, but this kind of formation master is just an ordinary formation master and is not among the grades recognized by the Dao Court.
Only by drawing nine formation patterns and passing the Dao Ting’s fixed-grade assessment can you become a true first-grade formation master.
Becoming a first-grade formation master is almost equivalent to reaching the sky in one step for a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage.
First-grade formation masters are basically guests of honor from major families and sects. Even the foundation-building cultivators dare not offend easily. Even if they do nothing, they will receive a spiritual stone allowance issued by the Taoist Tianshu Pavilion every month, and countless young and beautiful female cultivators will break through the threshold and strive to be Taoist couples.
In addition to the extremely difficult assessment of first-grade formation masters, there are also quotas for each state. If you want to become a first-grade formation master, it depends on both your efforts and your destiny.
I am not lucky and have a limited quota for the state boundary. Even if I have the formation attainments of a first-grade formation master, I will not get a fixed quota. I can only wait for the next assessment.
Some formation masters were wasting their whole lives while taking the exam.
Countless monks at the bottom of the class worked hard, and they spent their entire lives until their hair was gray, and they never achieved their long-cherished wish to be promoted to the first-class formation master.
The so-called quota limit in the Daoting Court is generally just an excuse to be made by large families and sects. They need the title of first-class formation master to add icing on the cake to their direct descendants or direct disciples, so that they can become geniuses that are highly anticipated.
Those lower-level monks who worked hard to become first-class formation masters are just dust that never caught their eyes on the soles of their feet.
It was already night, Mo Hua was lying in the dormitory of his disciples, but his spiritual consciousness sank into the sea of ??consciousness, and he kept drawing formations on the Taoist monument.
The formation drawn by Mo Hua is called a double element array, which contains two array patterns, which is considered one of the basic formations.
But this formation has never been successfully painted in ink painting before.
Pupils in the early stage of Qi Refining can only learn a formation containing a formation pattern because of insufficient spiritual consciousness. Among the early stage disciples of Tongxian Sect’s Qi Refining Exterior Sect, very few of them can learn a formation pattern.
But the single array pattern, ink painting has long been well-versed in my heart, and I can easily draw it.
Mo Hua wants to learn more difficult formations, so every night, I practice the double array containing two formation patterns on the Taoist stele.
After dozens of nights of repeated practice and efforts to wear water and stones, the ink painting finally succeeded.
When the formation master learns formation, each formation pattern is a threshold. If you draw an additional formation pattern, you will climb a ladder.
The ability to draw two array patterns in ink painting means that his spiritual consciousness and formation level are already much higher than that of the monks of the same age.
Among the disciples in the early stage of the outer sect of Tongxian Sect, his formation level should be considered unique.
Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief. When it was dawn, the spiritual consciousness left the sea of ??consciousness, and Mo Hua also opened his eyes.
Even though he drew the formation all night, Mo Hua still had a clear sense of consciousness and would not feel tired, as if he had just slept peacefully.
Push open the window, and the morning sun shines on your pretty and fair face.
The sun rises outside the window, and the sunset covers thousands of miles.
The ten-year-old Mo Hua let out a light breath, looking at the scenery in the sky, with a firm look.
As long as you keep practicing formations and constantly hone your spiritual consciousness, one day you will definitely become a first-grade formation master.
By then, the sun is rising, and you will surely take a big step in seeking immortals and asking for the Tao.
Life is no longer just refining qi!
