Chapter 20: Compendium of the Five Elements Divine Array
Got the reward of Huayun Pavilion, Zhao Ran was quite excited, the commendation submission was just that, that is, a certificate of honor and qualifications, similar to the award certificate issued to advanced employees in the former unit of Zhao Ran's crossing, it is useful to say that it is useful, you can write a big book when filling out your resume, or when the leader wants to promote you, you can use this thing to talk about things. But if you want to say how useful it is -- if the leader doesn't consider you at all, this thing is just a piece of waste paper, and no one will mention it.
What really made him feel like a treasure was this volume of "Five Elements Divine Array Compendium" and the small and delicate array plate.
Don't be busy reading the book first, Zhao Ran took the array plate and went to the back mountain to view the cloud platform, first used the magic weapon to lay out a golden array of the five elements that he could only make, and then chanted the mantra to start, and performed one by one, and had a lot of fun. It's boring to play blindly alone, so he tricked the old donkey into the formation again, and let the old donkey play the monster and try the method with the old donkey.
The poor old donkey was tossed in the formation and turned ignorantly, and then it was miserable, and it experienced all kinds of attacks contained in the Five Elements Great Array, which can be described as devastating. Although Zhao Ran controlled the operation of the large array and tried not to make a "killing move", the old donkey was still tossed enough to choke, and when Zhao Ran finished the formation, he almost foamed at the mouth.
Zhao Ran laughed, kept comforting the old donkey, and the first thing that the relieved old donkey did was to raise his head and push Zhao Ran up, and then chase Zhao Ran all over the mountain.
That night, Zhao Ran began to study the Compendium of the Array Book. This volume of the "Compendium of the Five Elements Divine Array" is not thick, and it records twenty-five commonly used formations, which are divided into five categories, with five types of each category. The Five Elements Formation is ever-changing, of course, there are more than twenty-five kinds, but Huayun Pavilion must have considered Zhao Ran's personal ability and formation learning process, and just chose twenty-five simple formations to compile this book, and the ink imprints on the book exude a fresh taste, and it is obvious that it has just been written.
These twenty-five formations are all based on one of the five elements, choose one line to complement each other, and the other three elements to cooperate. The formation used by Zhao Ran when catching demons in the Luo family's house is one of them, "After the Five Elements, the earth turns to the golden array", as the name suggests, it is mainly based on soil, supplemented by gold, and its formation is to trap the enemy, and it is both lethal.
In this compendium, each formation has a map of its location, accompanied by a textual explanation, and a mantra to be recited for the circle. Zhao Ran turned over the pages one by one and studied them one by one.
The formation is very particular about the location of the magic weapons, how far apart they are from each other, and where the direction and angle are. For example, the Five Elements Fire Giant Wood Array, this array is mainly fire, supplemented by wood, and the fire attribute magic weapon is distributed in the core town eye, because wood makes fire, so the wood attribute magic weapon should be close to the left of the fire attribute magic weapon to help the fire, and the water to overcome the fire needs to be placed away from the town eye to avoid attribute conflict. As for the rest of the gold and earth attribute magic weapons, it is also necessary to consider the positional relationship between them and the other three, and try to achieve a rigorous formation without alienation, and the greatest utility without being involved.
In addition, when moving a large array to deal with the enemy, the order of starting the magic weapon is also very important, be sure to achieve the five elements together, the five elements match, you can start a magic weapon to move a single attack, you can also start two magic weapons double attack, after the formation is proficient, you can even do three magic weapons, four magic weapons, or even five magic weapons against the enemy at the same time, the effect is better. To put it in layman's terms, it is to try to make one plus one greater than two, rather than one plus one less than two.
Zhao Ran recalled that he had laid out the Five Elements Rear Earth to Golden Array, compared with the book, the position of the magic weapon was roughly the same, but the spacing and orientation were very different; If you want to judge your watch that day, it will definitely be unqualified, so Zhao Ran was embarrassed.
In the days that followed, Zhao Ran restarted his busy study career, when he recited the precepts in the morning class, he thought about the formation diagram and formation in his mind, and when he answered questions and explained in the evening class, he pondered the coordinated operation of the five elements magic instruments. In the afternoon, he went to the back mountain to practice the actual control of the magic circle, and he was very busy.
Don't look at the "Compendium of the Five Elements Divine Array", which only records twenty-five simple formations, but the operation and use of each formation is quite brain-consuming. If Zhao Ran doesn't seek to understand it, but only wants to be able to use it simply, then everything is very simple, just follow the description in the book. But the formation is the only Dao technique that Zhao Ran can access at present, or the only means he can rely on to fight the enemy and save his life, so he really used his mind, and he had to ponder countless times for every change after the formation was activated, in order to maximize the efficiency, and at the same time practice I don't know how many times, in order to reach the point where he can do it easily.
In the process of practicing the formation, the old donkey has always been his loyal partner, and no matter how Zhao Ran racked his brains, using tender grass, sweet potatoes, green vegetables and even fragrant meat buns as bait, this donkey always accompanied him and helped him test the power of the big array. Of course, Donkey and Zhao Ran couldn't help but suffer from it, one was in the process of acting, and the other was after the formation was completed.
On this day, when Zhao Ran practiced to the Five Elements and then turned into a golden array, he laid out the formation and practiced the cooperation of the magic weapon in the way described in the "Summary", and the cooperation of the five elements of his current magic weapon did greatly enhance the power, compared to the fact that he only used a magic weapon to fight the enemy when he caught demons that day, and the effect was several times more than that, but in the operation of the qi machine of the large array, it was always a little sluggish, far less smooth than when he used the formation on the day.
This is the first problem that Zhao Ran encountered, in fact, this problem should be attributed to Huayun Pavilion.
After Da Zhuo and Xiao Zhuo returned to Huayun Pavilion, they reported Zhao Ran's merits to the museum, and according to the old practice, Huayun Hall was to give Zhao Ran a reward and reward, in this regard, basically to listen to the opinions of Da Zhuo and Xiao Zhuo. According to Daoist Xiao Zhuo's thoughts, Zhao Ran has studied the formation a lot, but he is limited to qualifications and talents, and his future achievements are limited. Based on this, Huayun Pavilion made the decision to reward him with a set of array disks and a volume of formation books.
The array plate is mainly delicate and simple, to adapt to the control power of ordinary mortals, and the array book is an excerpt of twenty-five basic five-element magic circles, which are collected in one volume. The key problem is that because the "Compendium of the Five Elements Divine Array" is a newly compiled book, the Taoist priest who compiled the book omitted a note in the general principle - "all are based on the actions of heaven and earth, and do not stick to one picture." The meaning of this sentence is that when arranging the formation, it should be based on the right time, place and people for the purpose, and should not be confined to graphics.
In fact, in the formation of a line, the reason why there is a distinction between masters and laymen is precisely because of this sentence. Otherwise, the formation diagram will be used as the criterion, and the formation will not be profound. And when the formation is used specifically, the same magic circle is used by the master and the layman, which is like the difference between cloud and mud.
Maybe the Taoist priest who compiled this book in Huayun Pavilion thought that with a vulgar way like Zhao Ran, it was not easy to move the formation, and if such a sentence was added, it might interfere with its formation, but it would have the opposite effect, so he abandoned this sentence, or maybe the Taoist priest simply omitted it when compiling the book, in short, Zhao Ran is now beginning to think hard about the difference.
After several days of meditation and many attempts to study the method, Zhao Ran finally embarked on a correct path, and he decided not to stick to the fixed layout method in the book, but to observe the operation of the qi machine of heaven and earth in a state of contemplation, and arrange the formation according to the results of his observations. To this end, he turned the book back to the first page, overturned the results of his previous study, and experimented from scratch, and the final result was that it was better to arrange the formation according to his own observations!
Zhao Ran studied the knowledge of the formation hard, and basically threw away the scriptures in the collection, but because he was already familiar with those books, he did not drop the chain in the monthly exam, and he was among the first class for two consecutive months.
During this time, a news came from the river that Deacon Ketang Hong, who went to the Xichuan Xuanwei Division to participate in the battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Western Xia, was unfortunately killed and died in a sneak attack by the Xia army at the foot of the White Horse Mountain. Xizhenwu Palace specially laid a eulogy for him, and held a grand ceremony in Wuji Temple.
At the same time, Yu Zhiyuan, who had been absent for a long time, finally returned, and he was approved by the prison and Sandu, and was promoted to a guest hall and became one of the eight deacons of Wuji Academy.
