"So, you just set up a formation on a whim, and then went back to the house to remember your experience and forgot about me?"

Xu Muyang's face flushed: "I just forgot the time." ”

He is dignified and real-spirited, and it is interesting to face the questioning of a half-sized child like a child who has made a mistake.

It's no wonder that Tang Zheng is angry, whoever comes back and is trapped in the formation for a few hours will not have a good time.

At this moment, hearing Xu Muyang's answer, Tang Zheng got up and left.

"Where are you going?" asked Xu Muyang in amazement.

"Let's cook. As soon as I got back, I was trapped and I hadn't cooked yet. ”

“......”

It didn't take long for Tang Zheng to prepare dinner and send it over.

The two ate together in the courtyard, and Tang Zheng remained silent.

"What's the matter? are you still angry with me?" Xu Muyang looked at Tang Zheng with a smile: "Okay, I admit it's all my fault, I apologize to you, okay?"

Immortals to mortals are like gods to the world, don't say that they have been trapped for a long time, they are really killed, and others dare not say anything. But now that Xumuyang actually apologized to Tang Zheng, he can only say that the current Xumuyang and Tang Zheng have a very good relationship.

Tang Zheng shook his head: "I'm not angry, I'm just thinking, what is the formation, why is it so magical?"

He was trapped in the formation before, and he only felt like a labyrinth, the courtyard was obviously still the same yard, but he couldn't get out of it, the hut was close at hand, but it was far away. At the time, I was still a little panicked and frightened, but in retrospect, I only felt that the mystery was endless, so I couldn't help but wonder what kind of principle could make the originally ordinary land become a god-like space.

"You also found it?" "Xu Muyang laughed: "Yes, the formation path is indeed a very magical science, all-encompassing, implying the truth of heaven and earth, every grass and tree, all of them can be said to be the first class in the world, even if the immortal cultivator exhausts his life, he may not be able to understand one in ten thousand, and the use is even more extensive and boundless......"

When it came to his favorite things, Xu Muyang immediately gushed endlessly, and his mouth was full of beautiful words.

"What the hell is that array?" Tang Zheng asked.

Xu Muyang replied: "The so-called array path, in the final analysis, is the cultivation of heaven and earth!"

"Heaven and Earth Cultivation?"

"That's right!" Xu Muyang replied: "If you regard the human body as a worldly realm, we immortal cultivators are cultivating our own bodies. And outside of our body, this vast world is itself a world realm. In this world, there are mountains, rivers, lakes, land, and sea, and in fact, everything corresponds to our human body. The human body absorbs the aura and releases the immortal method through its use, and the heaven and the earth have the aura, so why can't it be used to produce the immortal family Dao method? Heaven and earth are unconscious, and they cannot use the aura on their own, but the immortal cultivators can combine it through various means, and this is the array!"

"I see. "Tang Zheng understands, to put it bluntly, it is the physics of the previous life!

The so-called formation is like some kind of high-tech precision machinery, which uses the aura as the driving force, and the array pattern replaces the vein, and runs the aura to achieve the specified effect.

It's just that the laws of the worldly realm are different, and the people who use them are different, so the phenomena and effects produced, and even the means of creation, are completely different.

It is precisely because of this that the coverage of the array path in the immortal cultivation world is extremely wide.

The four auxiliaries of the immortal family, the Dan rune array, among which the use of the array is the most extensive, not only can it be used to make a sect watchdog formation such as the mountain guarding array, and even the three auxiliary Dan runes also have an auxiliary role, alchemy needs to be arranged, talisman needs to be arrayed, and refining tools also need to be carved array, it can be said that it is ubiquitous and has a far-reaching impact, and because of this, the array is also divided into a variety of ways.

According to Xu Muyang's statement, the formation is generally divided into two types: dead and alive. The death array is a fixed and immovable array, such as the small rosemary array experienced by the Tang Tribulation before is the death array. The living array is generally a battle array, and it is generally a formation that is jointly performed by immortal cultivators, which can multiply the power, and it is also a magic weapon for defeating the strong with the weak.

In addition, there are also points according to function, such as refining Dan runes also need formations, some people call this category called auxiliary arrays, which means the auxiliary of the auxiliary.

In short, there are many sects of formation, with a long history, but in fact, there is no unified standard, each has its own way of judging, and even different views.

For example, some people think that the formation is used to assist, it is the external manifestation of the will of the immortal cultivator, and it is to serve the cultivator, so this kind of person is dismissive of Xu Muyang's view that the formation path is the way of heaven and earth.

Ideas guide behaviors.

Xu Muyang's concept makes him proficient in the array of heaven and earth, and he is good at arranging or cracking some large formations with a super grand scale, and he is not good at battle formations or small auxiliary formations.

In terms of the world's understanding of large-scale formations, at least in this Qixia Realm, there is no one who is stronger than Xumuyang.

At this moment, Xu Muyang talked endlessly, and when it came to excitement, his eyebrows danced.

Tang Zheng had never seen him so proactive, and in order to learn from Xumuyang to cultivate immortals, he didn't know how much effort he had put into it, so that he almost survived, and in the end he only learned a Tibetan Elephant Sutra.

Speaking of excitement, Xu Muyang suddenly said, "Why don't you learn the formation path with me?"

"Huh?" Tang Zheng was dumbfounded.

Xumuyang has already said: "This array of Dao is self-taught by me by collecting the world's array books, it does not belong to the secret inheritance of the Void family, and it can be passed on to you." I think you're smart and clever, and you're just right for learning!"

"But...... My heart is on the avenue, and it's not suitable for distraction ......" Tang Zheng replied with some hesitation.

Although the formation path is good, the energy of people is limited.

Now Tang Zheng is no longer the chaotic kid who didn't know anything about cultivating immortals, he already knows how many difficulties there are on the road to cultivating immortals. Many people may not be able to reach the top in their lifetime.

Why is the head of the Void family unwilling to learn the formation path of Xumuyang? Isn't it just that he is afraid that his energy will be scattered and delay the right path, Tang Zheng asked himself that he does not have the qualifications of Xumuyang to defy the sky, and even the person who opened his door for seven turns will run away in embarrassment under the pursuit of the golden armor god, if he is distracted again, he is afraid that his future achievements will be limited.

"You can't say that. Xu Muyang shook his head and said: "The road to cultivation is difficult, in addition to hard work, you also have to have understanding. Formation Dao and cultivation both contain the supreme principles of heaven and earth, and the two may not complement each other. Moreover, one of the formations may not have no effect on the battle, in the battle of Cuiwei Mountain, my strength is far inferior to that He Chong, but he is not yet defeated with the help of the Eight Door Locked Heaven Array that I arranged in advance. ”

If you are willing to listen to your father's concentration on cultivation, I am afraid that he can be beaten without using a formation, Tang Zheng slandered in his heart, but looking at Xu Muyang's elated appearance, he really couldn't bear and didn't dare to hit him.

Most of the Xumuyang he saw these days was silent and immortal, and only the current Xumuyang really showed the aura that only mortals have.

It can only be said that he really loves Jindao.

Xumuyang has continued: "Besides, you are only washing the veins now, you can't cultivate, and you are idle, since I promised to teach you something, and my Xu's immortal method can't be taught, I will teach you what I have learned in my life, and I will not violate my promise." If you really don't want to learn in the future, I won't force you, what do you think?"

"Okay......" Tang Zheng replied weakly.

Seeing his reluctance, Xu Muyang couldn't help but be angry and funny, and patted him on the head: "You kid, you are really cheap and good." Do you know how many people want to worship under my door and learn the formation path from me, but I won't accept it. ”

Yes, your father told you not to learn the way of formation, you want to learn;

If others want to learn from you, you don't teach, I don't want to learn from you, but you want to teach;

What I want to learn is the immortal method, but what you want to teach is the formation path;

You belong to a donkey, and you specialize in working against people - since he knew that Xu Muyang couldn't measure his heart, Tang Zheng's belly slander has become more and more fierce.

But whether he wants it or not, he still has to learn this way.

After dinner, Xu Muyang began to teach Tang Zai a lesson.

"The formation path is broad and profound, but no matter what kind of formation it is, it is inseparable from the four of the formation eye, the formation pattern, the formation gate and the formation source. The so-called array eye is the center of the array, and the core is like the human brain, which controls everything and is the most critical part. Without an eye of the formation, the formation cannot operate according to your will, and such a formation is the real death formation. The so-called formation pattern is the route of the spiritual energy, such as the blood meridians of the human body, the road of the world, without the formation pattern, the formation cannot operate. The gatekeeper, the portal also. People can be allowed to enter, people can be allowed to go out, and the enemy can be outside the door, and life and death are all in it. The source of the array is the source of the great array. People can only cast spells if they have aura, and the same is true for formations......"

"I understand, the array eye is the brain, it is the command, the formation pattern is the blood veins, the bones, and the support, the array gate is the place where the power is really exerted, it is the limbs, and the array source is the heart, the source of power, just like the engine...... Oh no, it's like the spiritual eye inside us, right?"

"That's right. The cultivator's spell casting is powered by the spiritual sea in the body, and the array source is powered by external objects such as spirit stones, and of course, the cultivator himself can also help it. ”

"That's weird, I didn't see any spirit stones in the little rosemary you used before. ”

"That's because I added a small spirit gathering array, which can automatically absorb spiritual energy, which is called stacking arrays within arrays. ”

"Doesn't that mean that as long as there is a Spirit Gathering Array, it can automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the Spirit Gathering Array is the source of the array? But how did the Spirit Gathering Array be activated? Self-sufficiency? Perpetual motion machine?" Tang Zheng's eyes were about to bulge out.

Xu Muyang had never heard of the term perpetual motion machine, but he could understand its meaning literally, and Da Lu smiled: "How can there be such a good thing." The Spirit Gathering Array itself also requires an external force to activate, and it was I who injected another aura to make it work. Even so, the Spirit Gathering Array can only gather nearby aura, and once the nearby aura is absorbed, it will have no effect. This little rosemary is just a game of mine, and unless it is replenished with spirit stones, it will dissipate on its own in three days at best. ”

"It turns out that there is still no real perpetual motion machine. Tang Zheng sighed: "That means that there is no formation in the world that can truly survive forever, and each formation actually needs someone to maintain or have enough spiritual energy resources to exist?"

Hearing this, Xu Muyang replied: "There may really not be an eternal formation, but a formation that has existed for tens of thousands of years still exists. ”

"Tens of thousands of years of existence?" Tang Zheng was taken aback by Xuan Muyang's statement.

"That's right, I experienced it myself not long ago. Xu Muyang's expression had become solemn, and his eyes showed infinite admiration, as if he had recalled something.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "Compared to the ancient powers, I am still too far behind after all, if it weren't for this, it would be impossible to only open the first portal......

He didn't say any more, but just changed his words: "That's it, don't mention these, this is not something you can understand now, let's talk about returning to the formation." Among the four cores of the array, the formation pattern and the array source are the most complex. I'll teach you the basics of the formation first. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a few strokes in the void, and a strange pattern shone in the air, and then faded and disappeared after a while.

"Draw the pattern I just drawn, remember, in the order in which I have drawn, stroke by stroke, without the slightest error. Xu Muyang said lightly.

Drawing a formation pattern is the basic skill of a formation master, and it is often an introductory assessment. Although Xu Muyang had the heart to teach Tang Zheng, he also wanted to see if Tang Zheng had the talent in this area. If he really has no talent in this area, he will not force it.

The next moment, Tang Zheng had already picked up a branch and began to draw a line on the ground, he didn't have the aura that Muyang had in his hand, so he could only work honestly on paper, but this stroke was extremely neat.

At first, Xu Muyang didn't care, but he was shocked when he watched Tang Zheng draw the line.

Because Tang Zheng almost perfectly reproduced the few formations he had drawn before, when Tang Zheng finished painting, Xu Muyang found that Tang Zheng's strokes were almost incorrect.

"You...... How did you do that?"

"It's very simple, isn't it just a combination of some dotted and solid lines?" Tang Zheng was a little confused. In his eyes, these formations, although complicated, were just geometric shapes that could be memorized with a little care, after all, he had been very familiar with them since he was in school. Since Xu Muyang asked him to draw it, he followed it.

He didn't know that Lu Dao Xumu Yang asked him to draw it, but he didn't expect him to draw it all.

It is not that the Qixia Realm is without mathematics, but the status of this knowledge in the Qixia Realm is not high, and the depth is far worse than that of the earth. Those who understand may not be able to cultivate immortals, and those who cultivate immortals may not need to understand, and only those cultivators who study the formation path will study this knowledge.

Therefore, for Tang Zheng, the extremely simple pattern may be confusing to others.

At this moment, he heard Tang Zheng say that it was extremely simple, and Xu Muyang was busy drawing a complex figure on the ground, but this time he no longer asked Tang Zheng to copy, but still pointed to the formation pattern above and said: "Take this point as the beginning, use this point as the end, and find three lines that are connected but do not cross each other." ”

Tang Zheng only glanced at it, and then tipped it a few times with a small branch: "This ...... This ...... And this one. ”

Xu Muyang was shocked in his heart, it was not difficult to find three lines that did not interfere with each other in this pile of complex patterns, but it was not easy to find them at such a fast speed.

Xu Muyang had another question, but this time it was a problem for him to calculate the size of each line and area.

Tang Zai didn't expect that learning the formation would become a math exam, and he didn't know how far he had to do it to be qualified, so he could only do it step by step according to Xu Muyang's requirements.

Tang Zai didn't have much interest in mathematics, but his mother was a math teacher, and she used a whip to whip him to study hard, saying that he couldn't learn well and lose his face as a mother.

Xu Muyang became more and more frightened the more he looked at it.

Because he found that Tang Zheng used several solutions, even he didn't understand.

The way of the formation has extremely high requirements for the number of easy to reason, but there are very few people who are really interested in studying, those who pursue the path of the formation, the pursuit is often the power of the formation, for the way of the number of techniques needed to achieve it, it is completely uninterested, and it is all painful to learn one by one.

It can be said that Xu Muyang has never seen a few good math experts in his life, and it was not until this moment that he suddenly found out, and he was surprised and happy in his heart, and suddenly grabbed Tang Zheng and shouted: "Demon! Genius! You still say that you don't want to learn? You are a genius who cultivates the Formation Dao!"

Tang Zheng was taken aback by his arrest, and even said what was in his heart: "But I don't want to learn." ”

"Nonsense! Such a talent, how can you say that you don't love it?" At this moment, Xu Muyang became excited, where is there still the graceful demeanor of the past, seeing that Tang Zhengzhi did not admit that he had the talent in this industry, he was even more heartbroken: "You don't know what love is!"

He was an attitude determinist through and through, convinced that only love could accomplish great things.

His achievements in the formation path are because he deeply loves the formation path and also loves the number of easy to reason. In his opinion, Tang Zheng's talent is his love for the way of mathematics, otherwise how could he have such attainments.

Tang Zheng had never seen him like this, and he was stunned when he heard it: "Brother Xu, but I really don't feel anything about this." ”

"Then how do you explain your talent?" Xu Muyang still didn't give up.

Tang Zai replied helplessly: "How do I know Lu Dao...... Maybe it's because I don't love Jindao, but Jindao loves me!"
