Chapter 880 Proposition


    In the evening, Elder Zheng returned to the Gandao City, and several fellow Taoists with old friends came to see him off.


    During the meal, everyone was deeply moved. Some were regretful for Elder Zheng, and some were reluctant to leave. They invited Elder Zheng to go to their aristocratic family and sect to serve as guest officials.


    Elder Zheng declined one by one.


    After the banquet, say goodbye.


    Elder Zheng returned to his residence, closed his eyes and rested for a while.


    When the time came, I packed up all the treasures, array books, and array maps, and left the cave where I had lived for decades, without looking back, and headed out of the city.


    Take a car and leave the city. After about an hour, I arrived at Yundukou, Ganxuezhou.


    Take this Yundu and transfer three times during this period. After about a month, you can arrive in Zhenzhou.


    Elder Zheng had no nostalgia, but when he stepped away, for some reason, he suddenly felt a little worried in his heart.


    The little brother I met during the day, his face and voice came to my mind again.


    Elder Zheng felt emotion.


    There are really such children in the prosperous and fame-seeking state circles, who are born poor, sincere and have extraordinary insights.


    My previous judgment was still biased.


    Yundu''s whistle sounds and is about to set off.


    Elder Zheng took a step, but suddenly stopped.


    "Step on the deck and leave Ganzhou, I''m afraid I won''t come back in this life..." Elder Zheng was in a daze and suddenly felt a little uneasy, as if he would miss something important after he went there.


    He frowned, hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed: "Forget it, stay for a few more days. After watching this Formation Conference, you will leave. Zhenzhou is far away. Anyway, I don''t care about these days..." Elder Zheng felt much more relaxed when he thought about this.


    He raised his head and saw a bright moon hanging in the sky, with the clear light spreading all over the earth, and occasionally a breeze blowing by, accompanying the clear light.


    … ????Time passes, and another day passes.


    Tomorrow will be the convention meeting.


    At this time, Lundao Mountain is in a closed and grand hall.


    A group of formation elders gathered together and were setting the topic for tomorrow''s "Formation Conference".


    The elders here are all third and fourth-grade formation masters from all major sects in Ganxuezhou and have extraordinary achievements in formation.


    Although there are many conflicts between various sects, there are many conflicts.


    But the status of the formation master is relatively transcendent, and it is also a unique circle in itself, and sometimes it is not too restricted by the opinions of the portal.


    Moreover, at this time, we are setting the topic for the discussion conference.


    This is a big deal, no one dares to slack off, and they will not put personal grudges on the table.


    Therefore, the atmosphere in the hall is quite harmonious.


    Everyone discussed with each other and chose the appropriate formation as the "test question" for this formation conference.


    In order to avoid suspicion, the examiner this time was a master of the formation of the Yuhua Realm in the Tianshu Pavilion of Daoting, known as "Master Wen".


    Although Tianshu Pavilion is under the Dao Court, it only governs formation matters, and is relatively neutral compared to the power institutions of the central Dao Court.


    Master Wen himself comes from the Ganxuezhou area, and his formation attainments are obvious to all. Therefore, as the chief examiner, he is not only taboo, but also convincing.


    : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :


    "Yes, it''s meaningless to fight for these things. Now we have to consider the question..."


    ?


    "Our propositions are naturally broken, but you have to consider those disciples and many formations they just learned."


    “This is right…”


    "However, I was a little tired of the exam."


    "Do you want to change some new tricks?" an elder suggested.


    "What new tricks? It''s not good to be too out of the rules. If those disciples are nervous and cannot draw them, we elders who have propositions will be scolded in their hearts, and the ancestors of those aristocratic sects may also have complaints..."


    “This is…”


    "Add dot matrix variation?"


    "I don''t think it''s good..." An elder said, "We are all old guys. We have been studying for so many years and have learned a lot. We have learned a lot. We have some knowledge of various formation variations."


    "Those disciples are different. They are all kids. They live in ages and don''t even have a fraction of our age. They have never trained their formations for many years. They only know one or two basic formations. It''s too difficult for them to test the formation variations."


    "But the sect has been reorganized, so we can''t just change the formation conference at all. Just change it a little, just take one or two different formation variations."


    "Anyway, this competition is tolerant. If three pairs cannot be drawn, it will be defeated. If one or two pairs cannot be drawn, it won''t matter."


    "I still think it''s too difficult."


    "You think too much, don''t forget that this is the most in Qianxuezhou world, and the one in Qianxuezhou world is the genius."


    "If you want to win in the Formation Conference, you won''t be able to do without some real skills."


    "Then let''s do it like this. Let''s choose some first, and then let Master Wen take a look at it, and he will decide..."


    “So good.”


    …


    They are just expressing their opinions.


    But opinions are opinions, and the final decision is all decided by Master Wen, who is the chief examiner.


    After that, everyone followed the charter of the topic, as well as the ideas and directions they had just talked about, and they went multiple-choice questions one by one.


    Starting from the sixteen lines.


    The formation conference begins with the sixteen lines.


    This is a threshold, used to eliminate it.


    If you can''t even reach the sixteen patterns, you will not be qualified to continue to compete with the formation geniuses of various sects.


    After passing the sixteen lines, you can get a certain ranking.


    Although it is not high, it is indeed able to make some contribution to the sect.


    After sixteen lines, one line is more difficult than another line.


    Each pattern is a big threshold that can screen out a large number of people.


    Especially in the end, the gap between the eighteen to nineteen lines is even more different.


    There are basically few disciples who can draw nineteen lines.


    Inside the Dao Hall, a group of formation elders were thinking, looking through, struggling, or thinking hard, and picking up the formation.


    According to the rules, they first list it, then screen it, and finally presented it to the examiner Master Wen.


    Master Wen will set the title again and engrave it in the jade slip.


    In this way, the topic selection is chosen by a group of elders, and the topic selection is determined by Master Wen.


    They are both fair.


    All of this must be settled the night before the formation conference. The elders will not leave until the formation conference is truly over, which will eliminate the leak to a certain extent.


    Time passes by little by little.


    Topic selection and setting questions start with the sixteenth pattern, and become difficult little by little...


    I don’t know how long it took, but it finally came to an end.


    But when choosing the last question, which is above the ordinary nineteen lines, is almost the peak of foundation building and is used to "capture".


    Master Wen was a little confused, and he was struggling back and forth between several formations, looking left and right, and unable to make up his mind.


    Everyone was waiting quietly.


    But I don’t know how long I have been waiting, but Master Wen has not decided yet.


    Then an elder smiled and said, "Master Wen, this is your first time, right?"


    Middle-aged appearance, gentle expression, and Master Wen has always been serious about things, "That''s right."


    The elder said, "Master Wen, there is no need to worry about this last question. It is just in case, and it is for the most part. No one has been able to draw this one for so many years..."


    "Not to mention this last question, even the nineteen-patterned formations in front of them are rarely enough to finish them."


    "You should know that most of these disciples are in the late stage of foundation building, and not many of them are at the peak of foundation building."


    "Their spiritual sense is so great, with eighteen lines and nineteen lines. This is already amazing."


    “Plus, this is a ''big test''.”


    "From the initial sixteen patterns, I painted all the way, it is a kind of tempering for the heart of Tao, spiritual consciousness, and perseverance, and I have to bear the pressure of attention. The more I go to the back, the more tired and difficult it is, it is very hard."


    "These disciples, who are from a noble family, have a pampered life, can''t stand that time at all."


    "It is rare to draw one or two nineteen-patterned formations from beginning to end, and to the end."


    "Not to mention that I can draw this last question." Master Wen asked, "Has never?"


    "Never." The elder said.


    An older formation elder next to him continued, "This ''top-capture'' formation is of particularity."


    "This question is not actually used to test, but to tell the disciples that there are mountains outside the mountain and sky outside the sky. The formations are vast and endless. They can''t finish drawings of the formations in this world, and they can''t learn many formations."


    "As a formation master, you must maintain a humble heart, not be proud, but climb forever."


    "So, you can just pick a difficult point and put it in the last formation, so there is no need to worry too much."


    Master Wen was like a stream of good deeds and nodded.


    But he is serious in his work and has some obsessive-compulsive disorder. He does not do "random" things. There must be some principles for making decisions in everything. Once he wants to make a choice, he will still be confused.


    Another stick of incense has passed since this delay.


    Everyone looked at him silently.


    Master Wen came to his senses and felt a little embarrassed.


    But he still couldn''t "just" and thought about it in his mind that since the last formation cannot be drawn by the disciples and is used to "capture", the standard is the word "difficulty".


    The most difficult thing about formation is the Tao.


    According to his own wishes, he selected the most profound, most remote, and even involved the changes in the spiritual power and put it in among the formations.


    At this point, all the propositions are complete.


    Master Wen checked from beginning to end and sealed all the "propositions" with sealing patterns.


    The proposition of the formation conference ended.


    Everyone was very happy.


    "I''ve finally finished my work..."


    "You can take a break."


    "Tomorrow is the last Taoist conference, and after tomorrow, this Taoist conference will come to an end."


    "The formation is the most secure. If you know, you know, you know, you don''t know."


    "Tomorrow will be safe and stable. After the competition, the dust will be settled. There is no need to worry anymore."


    "Actually, now, it''s basically over."


    …


    Everyone was chatting while walking out.


    Master Wen, the chief examiner, said, "Thank you all for your hard work. I brought some wine from Daozhou, and asked someone to buy a table to wait for spiritual food. I also asked you to enjoy your face and taste the delicious wine and food to get rid of your fatigue."


    Although he was the chief examiner for the first time, he still understands this kind of human nature.


    And no one here will refuse to give face to the master of the Tianshu Pavilion formation.


    If they want to make friends with this Master Wen in normal times, they don’t have this chance.


    What''s more, after a busy day, drinking some alcohol to relieve fatigue is the best.


    Everyone bowed:


    “Master Wen is polite.”


    "If it''s so good, then Master Lao Wen will be there."


    “It’s better to obey your orders than to be respectful.”


    “Master Wen’s beautiful intentions are unsuccessful…”


    So Master Wen called someone to hold a banquet in the side hall, and everyone talked about some experiences in the formation and interesting stories.


    After the banquet, everyone went back to their room to rest.


    The night is quiet and the moon is peaceful.


    Everyone was sleeping soundly, and at this time they still had no idea what they would experience tomorrow...


    …


    After one night, it was just dawn the next day.


    A wisp of fish white shines into Taixu Mountain.


    The disciple was in the middle and practiced the formation all night long as he was normal. The bright light of the morning glow was reflected in his clear eyes.


    Today is the day of the Taoist Conference.


    And he also has to set out to participate in the formation competition.


    Before leaving, he went to the elder''s residence and visited Mr. Xun, asking for advice:


    "Sir, do I have anything else to pay special attention to?"


    “No need.”


    Mr. Xun said.


    Now, there is nothing to pay attention to.


    But Mo Hua felt a little nervous.


    After all, it was the Formation Conference. It was such a large scale and it was his first time to participate, so he was always a little nervous.


    Seeing this, Mr. Xun said, "Just be more restrained, you should not win or lose sadness. You should be more scheming and don''t worry too much about other things. Just draw the formation."


    "Just draw a formation?"


    "Well," Mr. Xun nodded, "Just draw until the end."


    Mo Hua pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, old sir, I understand."


    "Go." Mr. Xun said.


    "Yes." Mo Hua bowed and set off.


    Mr. Xun looked at Mo Hua''s back, and a trace of light burst out from his turbid eyes.


    This day finally arrived...


    …


    Mo Hua left Taixu Gate and went directly to Ludao Mountain.


    This is also Mr. Xun’s order, to let him go alone.


    When you arrive at Mount Lundao, you can see a grand scene, with people like tides and horses like swimming dragons.


    Many monks gathered in Mount Lundao, and the show was very grand.


    But compared to the sword competition, this scene is actually a little smaller.


    The sword contest is a real sword competition method, sword wind, sword rain, water and fire magic, superior Taoism, killing and fighting, and it is wonderful.


    Excellent ornamentality.


    No matter how high or low your cultivation level is, you can watch the excitement or the tricks, and you can enjoy it.


    But these discussions on the Taoist discussions are different, and the content is boring. If you don’t know the tricks, you often can’t see any exciting things.


    Especially the formation.


    The formation is dry and difficult.


    Most monks who do not understand formations will have a headache when they see abstract formation patterns. If they see the monks drawing formations, they will feel extremely boring.


    But this is the Ganxuezhou area, with a profound heritage, and disciples know more or less some formations.


    This is also the last meeting of the Taoist discussion meeting, which is related to the order of the sect and is of great significance.


    Therefore, there are not many monks who come to watch.


    At this time, these monks were all stopped outside.


    They cannot enter the venue at the first time.


    Disciples who participate in the Formation Conference will be given priority to the Ondao Mountain.


    Ink paintings are mixed among these disciples.


    In his hand, he was holding a jade slip for the discussion of Tao given to him by Mr. Xun. This jade slip represents a quota for the discussion of the formation.


    Moreover, it is a place that is directly invited without the examination.


    This quota is very precious.


    Because the formation conference was boring and poor ornamentality, the process was also simplified this time.


    Some selections were all prepared in advance.


    There are various thresholds for selection, such as cultivation, formation master''s grade, recommendation of elders, preliminary examination and assessment, etc.


    In this way, we ensure that those who can participate in the Formation Conference are elites from all sects.


    The "quota" of ink painting can directly eliminate these tedious processes and participate in the final "formula test".


    This quota is only given to a few in each sect.


    There will not even be any sects with low rankings.


    Mo Hua held this heavy jade slip and followed the team to Ludao Mountain.


    There are elders at the mountain pass to stop them, check them one by one, and confirm that they are correct before they can be released.


    The long line, solemn and quiet, slowly moving forward.


    When it was the turn of ink painting, he walked forward and handed the jade slip on the Tao to the checked elder.


    The elder was obviously stunned when he saw the Mo Hua. He took the jade slip in his hand skeptically, checked it several times, and called someone to check it several times, but it was still a little difficult to understand.


    Finally, he shook his head and put the ink painting in it, but he couldn''t help but complain in his heart: "What does Taixu Sect mean? It''s completely ruined? All disciples stuffed them into the Dao Conference..."


    But Mo Hua didn''t think so much, and walked into the Dao Mountain with a calm look on his face.


    One hour later, all the disciples who participated in the Formation Conference entered the Taoist temple.


    The gate of Mount Dao opened.


    The senior leaders of the aristocratic families and sects who came to watch the ceremony, as well as monks from all walks of life, and disciples from all sects were densely packed, like a tide, and they also entered the Mount of Representation.


    Happy National Day everyone~


    By the way, it''s early in the month, please ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket~(.)
