Chapter 893 Formation and Sword


    The ink painting was a little embarrassed by Dugu’s ancestor.


    He is still self-aware of his talent in kendo.


    Dugu Zu said indifferently: "If I read it right, you have learned the sword-making stance, right?"


    Mo Hua felt a stern in her heart, and quietly looked up, and looked at Dugu''s ancestor. Seeing that his expression was like a withered tomb, unfathomable, and he could not see his joy or anger, he was a little worried.


    But he didn''t dare to hide it and whispered: "I''ve learned a little..."


    "How did you learn it?" asked Dugu Zu.


    "There is a little cause and effect on Senior Xuan''s broken sword. I accidentally sensed it and realized a little bit..." Mo Hua said.


    Dugu’s ancestor’s eyelids twitched.


    Cause and effect?


    Only by building the foundation state can you perceive cause and effect?


    "Is it only the sword-transforming style?" Dugu Zu asked again.


    Mo Hua said truthfully: "I learned a little bit of Jingshen Sword..."


    The Dugu Ancestor remained motionless, but his heart was filled with storm.


    He saw that Mo Hua had vaguely seen signs of learning the magical sword, but he didn''t expect that he learned this way...


    Perceive cause and effect, trace back to the sword technique, and learn the magical thoughts to turn into swords?


    This is the method that foundation-building monks should have?


    Dugu Ancestor frowned, "Have you learned the method of cause and effect of heaven?"


    Mo Hua shook her head, "Only occasionally, you can perceive a little cause and effect..."


    He is not a lie.


    He has indeed never learned the orthodox art of causality and effect.


    What he learned was the Tianji Decision and Tianji Decision.


    These two are divine thought algorithms, which should be classified as array paths or methods of divine thought paths.


    Dugu’s ancestor nodded slightly, and was secretly surprised.


    I have never learned the art of causality, but I can occasionally perceive cause and effect. I guess it is because of my spiritual sense too strong and my formation is profound.


    Dugu Zu asked again: "Did you get the first place in the formation?"


    "Yes." Mo Hua nodded.


    This is not worth hiding, the entire Taixu Sect knows it.


    The Dugu ancestor didn''t speak for a long time, and after a while, he sighed in his heart:


    "I''ve misunderstood again..."


    People should not behave like appearance.


    This child is so old, but for some reason, he has an incredible attainment in formations and a strange talent to find a different approach.


    But that''s just right...


    Dugu’s ancestor’s eyes were slightly bright, revealing a hint of longing.


    "Maybe, there is really hope..."


    Mo Hua secretly looked at Dugu’s ancestor, feeling a little uneasy, wondering if the ancestor was angry with him.


    He didn''t mean to hide it.


    The main reason is that there are too many secrets in him, which can affect his whole body, so it is best not to say it if you can.


    Dugu Zu looked at Mo Hua a few times, but did not ask anything. After a moment, he slowly spoke:


    "I will teach you the sword technique."


    Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief, but said in confusion: "Oncestor, have you been teaching me the sword technique?"


    "This time is different." Dugu''s ancestor said in a voice, "The ordinary sword cultivation should go from shallow to deep, from sword moves, to sword energy, to sword intent, and then turn into swords into magical thoughts."


    "You don''t have to learn this way. Learn some shallow sword moves that you are not good at will instead waste your time and slow down your progress..."


    "You should learn from a different perspective."


    Mo Hua was stunned, "Change the angle?"


    Dugu Ancestor nodded, "From the formation, enter the sword path!"


    "From the formation path into the sword path..." Mo Hua was shocked, and then asked in a low voice: "Oncestor, are you also a fifth-grade formation master?"


    Dugu’s ancestor shook his head, “I haven’t studied much formation, but my cultivation level has reached my level. My understanding of Taoism is often not limited to one pattern. What I am looking for is the principle of returning to the unity of all things and returning to the essence…”


    "Of course, I put all my efforts into the sword. The formation is just for thinking and is learned from other things, and I am not good at it."


    "So, I can only give you some inspiration."


    "I can only tell you roughly what the sword path is and what the formation path is, but how to do it and how to integrate it depends on you to understand it yourself..."


    Mo Hua looked solemn, bowed and said solemnly, "Thank you for your advice from ancestor."


    Listening to Dongxu’s sermon is a great blessing.


    This is the understanding of "Tao" by the ancestor Dongxu, and the understanding of the great way of the world. If you can truly understand something, it will definitely be of great benefit to your future practice.


    Ink painting has a clear idea.


    When Dugu’s ancestor saw that Mo Hua understood, he nodded slightly, and then said solemnly:


    "There are thousands of great ways in this world, and the same path will come to you."


    "Formation, sword technique, alchemy technique, talisman technique, weapon refining method, magic and martial arts... all of these are the methods of the great way."


    "Among them, the formation is the most important, because the formation itself reflects astronomy and geography, depicts the emblems of all things, and is closer to the presentation of the rules of the avenue."


    "But this does not mean that if you go other ways, you will not be able to understand the truth."


    "When you reach a certain level of cultivation, you will find that although all things in the world have thousands of appearances, their roots are all manifestations of the great way."


    "It''s just that the lifespan of a monk is limited, so he can only choose one or two methods that evolve from the great way and study it deep. Use the law as a raft to seek the great way."


    "After you have obtained the great way, you can have no rafts and no rafts. Everything follows your heart and is free of restraint. The great way is in your heart, changing the sky and changing the earth. This is called... an immortal!"


    The expression of ink painting was shocked.


    The great way is in the heart, and the sky changes the earth, it is called an immortal...


    He remembered all these words in his heart.


    Dugu''s ancestor talked for a while, then turned around and continued to talk about formation and sword. He first asked Mo Hua:


    "What is sword energy?"


    Mo Hua pondered: "The killing spirit of sword?"


    Dugu Zu was not very satisfied, "Think about it."


    Mo Hua frowned slightly, recalling Dugu’s ancestor’s teachings just now, and slowly said:


    "All things have spirits, and the heaven and earth are one qi, and spiritual energy is the foundation of all things..."


    "The great way is different and the same way. The sword energy itself is not actually a ''sword'', but a form of existence of spiritual power, but it is presented in the form of a ''sword''?"


    Dugu Laozu raised his eyebrows and signaled Mo Hua to continue speaking.


    Mo Hua said: "…Sword Taoism, formations, spells, and martial arts are all kinds of Tao."


    "The spiritual power condenses into a magic pose, which is a magic; the spiritual power forms a formation pattern, which is a formation; the spiritual power is activated by blood and energy and turns into the force of fists and feet; then naturally, the spiritual power is activated by the sword technique and the spiritual sword, which is transformed into sword energy..."


    "The form of power is changing, but the power itself remains unchanged."


    Ink painting has clear ideas and articulation.


    Dugu’s ancestor looked surprised.


    He finally understood why his always-fashioned junior brother praised this child like a flower for the first time.


    This understanding is really amazing.


    The sword technique may be a bit dull, but this is a problem of lack of foundation.


    Once it involves the category of spiritual consciousness, the fields he is familiar with, and even the understanding of "Tao", the child''s understanding is simply not as smart as a person...


    Dugu Zu asked again: "How does spiritual power form spells?"


    "Through the meridians, form a magic form and condense into spells..." Mo Hua replied.


    But after he finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment.


    The ancestor would not ask such a simple question.


    Mo Hua thought about it for a moment and said slowly:


    "The spiritual power condenses into spells through the techniques in the meridians; through the patterns of the formation, the formation is formed... In other words, it is transformed through a certain ''law'' of the great way..."


    "Techniques, swords, and formations are all some kind of ''concretization'' of the laws of the Great Dao. Using this law, the spiritual power itself produces different killing powers..."


    Mo Hua felt vaguely that he seemed to have caught something.


    Dugu Zu mentioned again: "The weakest thing about your sword technique is that you cannot condense powerful sword energy."


    "In other words, your understanding of the law of transforming spiritual power into ''sword energy'' is too shallow."


    "so…"


    "So," Mo Hua suddenly realized, "I need to use the Tao of the formation to replace the Tao of the sword, and use the formation to ''simulate the sword energy''! Just like I use the sword to control..."


    Dugu Zu was stunned, "You can still control the sword?"


    "It''s not that good..." Mo Hua whispered, "I''m practicing randomly."


    In a sense, it is a purely "criminal way".


    After thinking about it for a while, Dugu’s ancestor understood what Mo Hua had done, nodded and praised:


    "Although it''s not a decent person, your idea is pretty good, but it can''t be considered an orthodox swordsmanship."


    Mo Hua just thought that his ancestor was praising him and smiled shyly.


    Dugu Ancestor nodded and then said, "That''s the truth. Using formation to turn a sword should work in the divine mind, but I am not a formation master after all, and I don''t know how to do this specific transformation."


    "You can think about it yourself when you go back. If you don''t understand, come and ask me again."


    "besides…"


    The Dugu ancestor took out a jade slip. The jade slip was simple and had no words or marks on the outside. It was obviously written by himself.


    Dugu Ancestor said: "Most of the original books of Taixu''s Divine Thoughts and Sword Transformation True Art have been destroyed. This is excerpted by me. It contains the most complete method of transforming swords."


    "You can''t take this thing out, just watch it here, you can see it as much as you can."


    "Don''t underestimate the ''Sword-Changing Style''..."


    Dugu''s ancestor said in a deep voice:


    "In the true secret of the Divine Thought of Sword Transformation, the Sword Transformation is the foundation, and the power of all sword moves depends on your skills in the Sword Transformation."


    "If you transform into a sword, then all sword moves will be strong."


    Mo Hua couldn''t hide the excitement in her expression, and nodded and said, "Yes, ancestor, I will definitely study hard!"


    Then he respectfully took over the "Sword-turning" jade slip from Dugu''s ancestor.


    This is the true canon of the Taixu Divine Thought Transformation of Sword.


    Mo Hua was excited and rubbed the jade slip with her hands for a moment, then sank the spiritual consciousness into it. A row of silver hooks and iron words fell into my mind:


    "Taixu Divine Thoughts and Sword Transformation True Art·Sword Transformation Style..."


    "The sword energy is condensed, and the sword shows its intentions and turns into the shape of a sword..."


    "Turn the sword in your hand into the sword in your heart."


    "The sword technique is excellent and the sword energy is superb. It manifests itself into a sword style, and it becomes more sharp and bright..."


    "Different sword techniques, the divine thoughts and sword styles transformed are different..."


    "Different monks have different understandings of sword art, and their transformation of swords also have different differences..."


    …


    I read the ink painting quickly first, and then gradually realized: "Sword Tao is also Tao, and formation Tao is also Tao..."


    "First of all, we must study the appearance, and then through appearance, we must understand the essence of sword energy, that is, the law of spiritual power transformation."


    "My understanding of the ''law'' of swordsmanship is too shallow, so I will find a way to use the ''law'' of formation to replace the ''law'' of swordsmanship and derive the sword energy."


    “That means…”


    Mo Hua felt that he had realized something, and lowered his head and pondered to capture the inspiration that had flowed in his heart. After a moment, his thoughts suddenly became clear:


    Sword Formation!


    Use the sword formation as the law!


    "The sword formation itself uses the formation to derive or increase the sword energy, which itself is the presentation of the sword laws in the form of a formation."


    "In this way, by comprehending the sword formation and analyzing the mystery of the sword energy derived from the sword formation, you can also comprehend the sword intent to a certain extent, thereby making up for the disadvantages of your own weak sword art."


    "From the perspective of the formation, dissect the sword path and merge into one, and the sword array is the best medium..."


    The eyes of ink painting are getting brighter and brighter.


    Dugu’s ancestor also nodded slightly.


    This child is indeed smart, basically just one thing.


    Dugu Zu thought for a while and finally said, "If you don''t learn the formation, it will be difficult to master even if you learn it. Formation masters are generally not sword cultivators."


    "So ordinary monks either learn swords or arrays. The two are clearly distinguished and they all learn their own learning."


    "It is difficult for a monk to be proficient in swordsmanship and to learn formations to the pinnacle, involving the deep level of ''Tao''."


    "But you are different..." Dugu''s ancestor looked at Mo Hua, "Your formation talent is rare in the world, and you have to skip the basics of sword cultivation and learn to transform into swords."


    "In this way, it is most appropriate to use the formation to enter the sword."


    "Ninety-one has walked this road, and no one can walk it, so you can only rely on yourself to explore..."


    "As for how much you learn, it can only depend on yourself." Dugu Zu glanced at Mo Hua deeply.


    Mo Hua nodded seriously: "Don''t worry, ancestor, I will definitely study hard!"


    He seized the time again and carefully looked at the "Sword-Changing Style" in the Taixu Divine Thought of the Sword-Changing True Art, and remembered the core content in his heart.


    When the time came, Dugu’s ancestor tore open the void and sent Mo Hua back to his disciple’s residence.


    Back to the disciple''s residence, there was still some time before dawn, Mo Hua couldn''t wait to sink his spiritual consciousness into the sea of ??consciousness.


    He began to think about the words of Dugu’s ancestor in the sea of ??consciousness, and also pondered the iteration of the “Sword-Changing Style”.


    Sword energy is derived from the sword formation.


    He tried this when he was using his sword.


    But before, he just accidentally **** the sword in the form of "opportunity" and did not understand the deep principles here.


    Now that the ancestor asked a little, he realized that after understanding the principles of the Great Way and comprehending the changes of the laws, there is no need to stick to external forms.


    The magical mind transforms into a sword can also follow this idea.


    The power of the transformed sword depends on the monk himself and his basic and understanding of the sword.


    My own swordsmanship is very weak, but the formation is extremely strong.


    Then "learn from strengths and weaknesses", use formations to replace swords, and use "formula" to simulate sword energy and transform sword intent.


    The foundation of my own formation is as solid as a rock with the guidance of Mr. Xun.


    After being enlightened by Dugu’s ancestor, his own sword transformation will be further transformed.


    Formation and sword technique are integrated at the level of divine thoughts...


    Mo Hua nodded and decided to give it a try.


    In the sea of ??consciousness, Mo Hua sat cross-legged and began to reconstruct his "Sword-transforming Style" in his original understanding according to the ideas pointed out by Dugu''s ancestor.


    He first manifested the Broken Golden Sword Formation.


    This is the core formation of the sword inheritance of Duanjinmen, and it is also the only sword formation he is currently proficient in.


    After the sword formation was manifested, the ink painting began to manifest the sword of divine thoughts, trying to merge the two.


    But after trying several times, they failed.


    It sounds easy, but in practice, it is completely different.


    Formation is a formation, and a divine mind-turning sword is a divine mind-turning sword. These are completely two different methods, and they are not that simple to merge.


    I tried ink painting many times, but it still couldn''t.


    The formation and sword technique are clearly distinguished.


    Ink painting did not give up and kept trying hard, but it still did not make any progress until dawn.


    The next day, Mo Hua got up and went to class to practice. He didn''t even practice formation after class. He focused on the integration of divine thought formation and divine sword technique.


    But he tried for several days, but it didn''t work.


    “Is this road not working?”


    Mo Hua frowned, and then he shook his head, "It''s impossible. The ancestor has already pointed out himself. In other words, from his old man''s perspective, the laws are the same and the principles are feasible."


    "I can''t figure it out. It''s not that the ancestor was wrong. It must be that there is something wrong with my method..."


    Mo Hua calmed down and continued to work hard. During this period, he also tried other methods, but without exception, all failed.


    After failing too many times, the ink painting stopped and then began to reflect.


    Fortunately, his experience in the application of divine thoughts and formations was too rich. After thinking about it for several days, his heart gradually became clear.


    Mo Hua realized that he had thought it was wrong before.


    It is not manifesting the formation, but turning the divine mind into a sword, and then try to fusion of the two items.


    Instead, it should be integrated from the beginning.


    As Dugu’s ancestor said, the great way is the origin of all things, all things in the world, all things in the world, all things, and all things, and the different paths are the same.


    If you want to integrate formation and sword skills, you must start from the beginning.


    Fusion from the origin.


    But this involves the "soul".


    And there are "hidden dangers" in his soul.


    I thought about the ink painting for a while and thought I should try it.


    He took out the bamboo slips, borrowed the sword intent on the bamboo slips, cut off his soul, "warned" the evil fetus, and told him to be honest.


    Then he called out the Taoist stele, using the pressure of the Taoist stele and the horror of the catastrophe thunder to shock the evil fetus.


    Only then did the ink painting call the soul with confidence.


    But he only called one of the souls and avoided the parasitic Fuya Soul of the evil fetus.


    After preparing, Mo Hua held his breath and began to integrate the sword formation into the "heart" of his soul, and fundamentally reconstructed his "sword into divine thoughts".


    But this process is also extremely mysterious and difficult to figure out.


    The depth of the formation and the sharpness of the sword technique are not easy to unify.


    Ink painting calmed down and followed Dugu’s interpretation of “Tao” and began to “abandon existence and return to nothing” and “return to simplicity and truth”.


    Forget all methods, perceive the true nature of "Tao", use sword techniques and formations as rafts, cross the river, cross the river and obtain the Tao, and obtain the Tao and integrate the Tao.


    Thinking of this, his mind became clear in an instant.


    In his mind, various formation patterns and sword energy were raging, each doing its own thing, but its origin was a faint intertwined posture.


    Mo Hua was revived and used Tianji decomposition and weird decomposition to continuously evolve the mesh trajectory of formations and sword techniques in his mind, looking for the "opportunity" of fusion.


    I don’t know how long it took, Mo Hua thought about it, calculated it, tried countless times, and finally seized the fleeting opportunity.


    This opportunity was like a key, opening a door to the avenue.


    Mo Hua used the "Sword Formation" as a medium and began to make a preliminary attempt to integrate the formation with the sword.


    His divine sword also began to be reconstructed from the bottom...


    After a long time, Mo Hua opened her eyes.


    There was a sword light flowing in his eyes, and in this sword light, there were patterns of formations emerging, and the two intertwined, as if they were one.


    Ink painting slowly stretched out his palm.


    A trace of divine thoughts condensed in his hands to form a broken gold sword formation, and then used the sword pattern as the blade and the sword pivot as the bone, and gradually turned into a sword of divine thoughts.


    This sword of divine thought is a complete long sword, no longer the simple appearance it used to be, and the golden light flows, and the sword energy is terrifyingly sharp.


    This is the complete sword of divine thought!


    Moreover, it is a sword of divine thoughts built with the "Broken Gold Sword Formation" based on the formation.


    Just looking at it, I feel that the golden light is brilliant and extremely dazzling.


    Taixu''s divine thoughts turn into swords, and the sword technique is the same.


    But different sword cultivators, the same true sword techniques for transforming swords, and the swords of divine thoughts manifested are different from each other''s sword art.


    And the sword of divine thoughts in Mo Hua is completely unique.


    Because what he integrated into this sword was his own "former".


    This is a "formula sword" with the manifestation of divine thoughts!


    Ink painting is very happy.


    A few days later, the sword tomb.


    Dugu’s ancestor looked at the golden color in Mo Hua’s eyes and couldn’t help but feel a little stunned.


    "It really... made this child figure it out?"


    "And, it''s only seven days..."


    Oh seven days...


    Dugu’s ancestor’s eyes trembled slightly.


    Once the formation is involved, the child''s understanding is really so terrifying...


    The Dugu Ancestor was a little unbelievable, and at the same time, the hope in his heart, like a candle in the wind, was burning.


    Dugu Laozu pointed out some of the ink paintings again, pointing out some shortcomings, and let the ink paintings think about them by themselves.


    After that, he sent away the cheerful ink painting.


    After Mo Hua left, only Dugu Zu was left in the sword tomb.


    He sat silently, like a lonely but broken sword.


    I don’t know how long it took, but he looked resolute and murmured slowly:


    "Junior brother, I''m sorry..."


    "I can only pass on this skill to this child. Even if he will embark on a path of no return, like me, he will be full of evil spirits and be confused by demons, and it will be difficult for a moment of peace in his life..."


    "But, he is really the only one who can spread it..."


    "If you don''t spread it, you will never have a chance..."


    Dugu Patriarch sighed to the sky.


    As the cold moonlight shone, his face was filled with light and shadow, his eyes, ears, nose, mouth and facial features gradually disappeared, as if he was "faceless" demon without desire, thoughts, good and evil...
