Chapter 43 Studying
When Moshan and his wife heard that Mohua was recommended by strict teachers, they were very happy to have a master of formation.
Mo Shan was originally a little worried, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing to worry about.
Teacher Yan has been teaching in Tongxianmen for many years and has always been famous. People who can be promoted and recommended by Teacher Yan, naturally have an extraordinary identity.
The Moshan family is just ordinary casual cultivators. They have neither spirit stone nor family property, so naturally there is no need to doubt that others are planning to them.
Besides, they may not meet the formation masters of this identity, but this time it is a rare opportunity.
Mo Hua is now learning formations and eating and living at home. Liu Ruhua is even happier when she sees her son every day and can cook for her son.
The next morning, Mo Hua finished the sumptuous breakfast prepared by Liu Ruhua, and set off for Southeast Mountain to visit Mr. Zhuang for study.
This time, Mo Hua arrived at the foot of the mountain and followed the path to the bamboo gate. Only then did I find that there was actually a plaque before the courtyard fell.
The plaque reads "Sitting forgot to live", I don''t know why I didn''t see it yesterday.
Mo Hua sat in forgot to live. Mr. Zhuang was sitting bored by the pool, holding his chin with one hand and fishing with the other. The fishing rod was just a piece of green bamboo, and the fishing line was empty and there was no bait.
Mo Hua looked into the pool and found that there were no fish in the pool.
Mo Hua felt that Mr. Zhuang might have some profound meaning, so she looked up at Mr. Zhuang and found that Mr. Zhuang was not even fishing at all, but was just dozing off with his chin on his back.
Fortunately, when the old man saw the ink painting yesterday, he shouted the ink painting aside and said:
"Mr. I often doze. When he is dozing off, just ignore him, and of course don''t bother him."
"oh oh."
Mo Hua nodded in a difficult and harsh manner.
The old man said again: "I am here... the housekeeper, take care of the teacher''s daily life, just call me Pu Lao."
Mo Hua said politely: "Grandpa Puppet."
Old Kuo glanced at Mo Hua, but said nothing, took out a chessboard and asked, "Can you play chess?"
Mo Hua looked at the chessboard, "Is this the five elements chess?"
There are many types of chess in the Taoist world, including Bagua chess, Five Elements chess, Tianyuan chess, Sancai chess, etc. Five Elements chess is the simplest and most popular one. It is mainly used to enlighten children in the Taoist practice and memorize common sense of the five elements of birth and restraint.
The way to play chess pieces is very simple. Both sides hold two types of chess pieces. Five elements pieces with different attributes will be randomly generated on the chessboard. Only after opening it will be displayed that the chess pieces that are mutually reborn with the five elements are stronger, and the chess pieces that are mutually incompatible with each other can eat each other.
Simple and fun and without any thoughts, it is an excellent game for monks and children to learn.
It’s nothing to play the five elements chess by Mo Hua himself, but the puppet old man with a vicissitudes of face also plays...
Old Kuai seemed to see Mo Hua’s thoughts, “Do you think the Five Elements Chess is too simple?”
Mo Hua hesitated for a moment and said against her conscience: "The way is simple, and return to simplicity. The simpler the thing is, the more difficult it is."
Old Kuo was stunned for a moment and thought for a while before he realized: "This is a good reason. I will tell others about it next time I find someone to play chess."
Ink painting: “…”
So Mo Hua began to play chess with Pu Kuan.
At first Mo Hua thought that Mr. Kuang must be a master of this, so he was very energetic, but after a few rounds, he found that Mr. Kuang and he met with him, and he was 800 and half a pound, and no one compared to each other, so he lost the burden and the two of them had a lot of fun.
Before I knew it, it was noon, and Mo Hua remembered what he was doing...
Mr. Zhuang took a nap by the pond and slept all morning. At this time, he opened his eyes, looked at the sun, and nodded, "It''s time for lunch."
So I played the chess all morning, and the ink painting that had been spent for a long time was another meal.
The food is made by Pu Lao, with meat, vegetables, and rice. It is full of spiritual energy, but the taste is hard to describe. Looking at the old man, he doesn’t seem to be good at cooking meals.
But Mr. Zhuang didn''t care. The grains entered the abdomen and turned into blood and qi. The senses of the mouth and belly were all false. No matter how the food tastes, every chopstick and spoon is quiet and elegant, as if it is not the grains, but the wind and dew between heaven and earth.
Mo Hua felt that Mr. Zhuang''s posture was really decent and elegant, and he was a little envious.
Mo Hua wanted to learn from Mr. Zhuang''s way of eating chopsticks slowly and elegantly, but she still couldn''t learn it. It was a bit awkward. In the end, she still honestly picked up the bowl of rice.
Although the food tastes not very good, the ingredients are excellent and contain spiritual energy. Moreover, the ink painting has never been very picky about food.
Mr. Kuo looked at Mo Hua and ate sweetly, and then picked up a few pieces of meat for Mo Hua.
After dinner, Mr. Zhuang seemed to have finally remembered what ink paintings were for, so he led the ink paintings to a bamboo pavilion in the yard.
There are breezes and waves of bamboo waves on all sides.
"I have accepted disciples before, but what they learned is different from you, so it''s hard to generalize. Let me first see how you have learned the formation."
Mr. Zhuang asked several questions about ink painting and answered them one by one.
After answering the ink painting, Mr. Zhuang pondered for a moment, took out a thick book and pointed out the ink painting:
"The knowledge about formation theory about formation is too weak, and what I have learned is basically some basic formation patterns, and they are not comprehensive. In this way, the foundation is unstable, and it will be difficult to understand when learning more difficult formations later. In the process of formation, you will not go long."
Mr. Zhuang handed the classics to the ink painting and said:
"You still have to start with the most basic things. This is some basic array theory about formations in the Taoist world. Different schools, different attributes, and different contexts are included. You can remember these first, and you can understand them if you can understand them. If you can''t understand them, please ask me. When the foundation of your array theory is solid, I will teach you how to draw formations."
Mo Hua took the thick formation book and said, "Thank you sir!"
Mr. Zhuang waved his hand, "She can find a comfortable place to watch in the yard. I''m going to close my eyes and rest."
Mo Hua said goodbye, then held the "The Origin of Formation" and found a shaded grass under the tree, lying on the soft grass, looking through it.
The beginning of "The Origin" clearly states that ancient immortals look up at astronomy, look down at geography, understand the way of heaven from the evolution of heaven and earth, and manifest it into a formation, and use the formation to imitate the way of heaven, so as to have unpredictable power.
Among the hundreds of karma of cultivation, only formation is the most direct and fundamental way to understand the way of heaven, and it is also the category of cultivation that has the most stringent requirements for spiritual consciousness.
The division of formation masters is based on the ninth grade, and above the ninth grade is an immortal, and is called the immortal formation master.
However, the Immortal Formation Master is just a legend. In the past 20,000 years, no one has truly become an immortal, and naturally no one has become an immortal formation master. No one knows what the immortal formation that can change the world looks like.
Not only the immortal formation masters, but even the ninth-grade formation masters are not recorded. The eighth-grade formation masters are also legendary. There are records that several sixth-grade formation masters are all aristocratic families, ancient sects, or giants like the Daoting Pavilion Masters. They are already out of reach for cultivators.
After the fifth grade, until the third grade, some formation masters recorded more and there will be no more records. Obviously, even the lower-grade formation masters are not qualified to be included in the book unless they have unprecedented innovations in formations.
After recording the history of the formation, there is a brief analysis of some formation schools and various formation terms.
Different families, sects and regions, the schools of formations are also very different. Even the inheritance of the same formation may sometimes be subdivided into multiple small contexts. The inheritance of different contexts will have subtle differences in the learning, research, use and effectiveness of formations.
All major forces regard the core formation as confidential and study and apply it separately, resulting in a situation where a hundred flowers bloom and each one is self-confidenced.
The formations are divided according to the array pivot category, including the two quasi formation, the three genius formation, the four simulus formation, the five elements formation, the six-height formation, the seven-star formation, the eight-gua formation, etc. The most widely circulated and used are the five elements formation and the eight-gua formation. Other different formations also have their own uses.
…
Mo Hua spent most of the day and roughly reviewed the "Theory of Formation Source". After reading it, I felt enlightened and even more insignificant.
For ink painting, it is not easy to become a first-grade formation master, let alone a seventh, eighth, and even an immortal. The formation path is like a vast ocean. No first-grade formation master is not an ink painting, but now it is just a drop in the vast ocean.
?There will be a test tomorrow, hehe~(=^_^=)
