Asking About Longevity: Chapter 389 shortcut

Chapter 389 Shortcut

 Ink painting has another doubt:

“But, Master, isn’t the land unsuitable for use as matchmaker?”

 General formation masters do not know how to use land as the medium for formations.

 Because the texture of the land is either soft or moist, and it is lost due to drying and weathering, it is difficult to take shape over a long period of time and is not suitable for carrying array patterns.

Mr. Zhuang corrected him: "It's not that it's not suitable to be a matchmaker, it's just that most formation masters cannot use them as matchmakers."

“What cannot be done cannot be understood. Over time, most formation masters believe that the land is not suitable for formation matchmaking.”

 “How are you doing?” asked the old man.

 “As for the deceitful man, he won’t let you go either.” Puppet Lao said.

 Lao Puppet nodded, raised his eyes slightly, looked at the continuous spiritual field, and felt quite emotional:

Mr. Zhuang nodded, "Do you still remember what I told you? Some formation masters only follow the diagrams and draw the formation pattern meticulously. They don't dare to add or subtract one stroke, but they do not dare to add or subtract one stroke. The formation that came out still has no effect."

 Lao Puppet appeared silently behind Mr. Zhuang, frowning and said: "Do you want to teach such a profound thing?"

"Although these things are relatively difficult, since he can learn them, there is no reason not to teach them."

“Besides, if you don’t steal or rob, why don’t you eat the fat if it falls in front of you? If God doesn’t take it, you will suffer the consequences.” Mr. Zhuang said plausibly.

“So using ‘earth’ as the formation medium, what the earth is supposed to carry is actually the inner spiritual power, not just the surface formation patterns.”

The old man wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Mr. Zhuang.

"He has more eyes than you, and he has become a demon. He has become a 'Taoist'. He has mastered the cultivation of demons in his Taoist mind, and his methods are even more unscrupulous." Puppet Lao said numbly.

"Because it only has form and no inner spiritual energy flowing, the formation drawn is just an empty shell."

 “Master, is that so?”

 He nodded, saluted solemnly and said:

 “Master, disciple, remember this!”

“Only by understanding the formations, using the formations, and combining the virtual and the real can we truly understand the great way.”

Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly and said, "That's right."

"Do not worry…"

Mr. Zhuang looked at the ink painting with deep eyes full of expectation.

“Even the formation diagram has been deduced…”

"Although he cannot reach the sky, he can "penetrate the earth". With such attainments in formations, even if he is only at the second level, he is not an ordinary person."

“What is the essence of the formation patterns?” Mr. Zhuang asked.

Mo Hua continued to think:

"This thick earth formation, since it is a formation of 'thickness carrying things', contains the way of the earth, and it is also a formation with 'earth' as ​​the medium of the formation."

“The master of the formation has exhausted all the formation methods, but he is close to the Tao. Only by attaining the Tao can he live forever..."

 “Aren’t you afraid that they will catch up?”

After finishing speaking, Mr. Zhuang's eyes moved slightly, "I don't know if it's me who is lucky, or Mo Hua, who has a better chance."

Mr. Zhuang was lying on a bamboo chair, watching the changes in the clouds, and said calmly:

“On the other hand, learning this formation means learning to use ‘earth’ as the medium for the formation. Understanding the formation means understanding the way of the earth of ‘benevolence and virtue’.”

Puppet Lao looked at Mr. Zhuang again and said, "If Mo Hua learns this formation, there won't be any trouble."

 “No matter how you do it, just do it.”

"This is because this type of formation master uses spiritual consciousness to communicate with the avenue and uses formation patterns to control the flow of spiritual power, rather than rigidly drawing formation patterns."

Mr. Zhuang nodded, "Even if you understand these principles, what next? How to make the land carry spiritual energy? How to make the formation pattern integrated with the earth? How to draw the formation? What formation to draw?"

 “Is it difficult?”

 “They are coming after me.”

Mr. Zhuang nodded, "Not bad."

Puppet Lao said calmly: "As long as you know what's going on."

“And the formation is the manifestation of the heavenly way, and it is the bridge between the monks and the void heavenly way.”

Mr. Zhuang snorted, "If they can't learn it, how can they not let others learn it?"

 In the courtyard, the mountain breeze blows.

“Such a person died with his awareness of the sea shattered...”

“You can understand it at one point. This is the understanding of formations and...the affinity for the great road..."

 “This Jue Zhen is the secret of the Earth Sect.”

Mo Hua suddenly felt a little lost.

The more he talks about the ink paintings, the clearer his ideas become and his eyes sparkle.

 “It is the concrete representation of the flow of spiritual energy.” Mo Hua replied.

Mr. Zhuang looked at the ink paintings and sighed in his heart:

 One hundred and seventy-six. Two hundred and thirty. One hundred and thirty-seven. Ninety

The old man raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you okay?"

Mo Hua then added: "...except for the ancestors of the Sun family."

 “What if the Di Zong is looking for trouble?”

Mo Hua nodded, thoughtfully. After a moment, his eyes lit up again:

“So, is this thick earth formation still the key?”

 “He can learn, why not teach?”

 He still doesn’t quite understand.

Mr. Zhuang was not surprised, "If there is such a big commotion in Tongxian City, if Elder Ge is not worried about it, he might as well retire and return to his hometown to take care of himself."

“Don’t worry, I’ve already thought of a solution.”

The old man was a little confused: "Which branch of the Di Zong has the surname Sun?"

“The truth is simple to say, but it is so difficult to actually do it that you can’t even start.”

“The formation pattern is only the appearance of the formation, and the inner flow of spiritual power is the essence of the formation.”

Mo Hua asked with bright eyes.

Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly, shook his head, and then said slowly:

“When a monk realizes the Tao, he only focuses on perception, which is inevitably illusive and illusive, just in form and without substance.”

Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, “Do you understand?”

 After a moment, the old man spoke again:

"Not really." Mr. Zhuang shook his head, "It just happened to happen. Before I came here, I didn't expect that the Earth Sect's ultimate formation would be hidden here."

Mr. Zhuang raised his eyebrows slightly and motioned for Mo Hua to continue.

Mr. Zhuang said indifferently: "What trouble can there be?"

Mo Hua recited it silently, his eyes clear and his expression became firmer.

“I didn’t expect that he actually found it himself.”

Mo Hua frowned and thought:

“The formation medium needs to carry the formation pattern, but what it actually carries is not the formation pattern, but the spiritual power of the formation pattern’s communication.”

“As long as the spiritual power of the formation is in harmony with the earth and the formation patterns are integrated with the earth, then even if the land is dry, wet and weathered, the formation will still exist.”

The yard was quiet for a while, and the two of them were silent to each other.

 “I don’t have much time, and I also want to teach him some more things…”

"But some formation masters do not stick to the shape and draw it casually, but the formation is completely natural."

After Mr. Zhuang finished speaking, his originally deep gaze became lazy again, and he waved his hands and said:

“Study more about the thick earth formation and see how much you can understand. If you have any questions, come to me.”

Mo Hua smiled shyly, "Master taught me well!"

 “Extreme formations, but close to the Tao…”

“Once you learn the formation and understand the great way, you will naturally be able to make the earth carry spiritual power and make the formation and the earth one.”

Mr. Zhuang said: "The principle is clear, but actually doing it is a completely different matter."

“They can count, and so can I. Every time I count one more step, it will take them at least a year or two to catch up with me.”

Puppet Lao sneered, "How to end it? If you meet him, you will die without rebirth..."

"As long as it's useful, it doesn't matter if he's upright or not?" Mr. Zhuang looked calm, "Besides, the Di Zong is in Kunzhou. Kunzhou is thousands of miles away from here, so it's not sure whether we can meet him or not."

  “Hmm!”    Mo Hua went to practice the formation again.

“After so many years, the grudges between the teachers and our teachers must be settled,” Mr. Zhuang said.

Mr. Zhuang thought for a while and sighed:

“Originally, I just wanted him to try to find a formation and practice his calculation skills. When he really can’t find it, I will tell him the whole story.”

Mr. Zhuang smiled lightly and said, "He had no intention of letting me go."

Di Zong’s ultimate formation is not an ordinary formation.

 “Let go of its form and find its origin.”

 The old man was a little doubtful, "Is this a serious method?"

 “It’s just a surname, just a title, it shouldn’t be taken seriously.” Mr. Zhuang said calmly.

Mr. Zhuang’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn’t say anything.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and said weakly:

“Then how can the land carry the formation pattern?”

Mo Hua laughed happily, and then he was a little confused:

“There should be many formation masters who understand this truth. Why haven’t I seen other formation masters using ‘earth’ as the formation media?”

Mr. Zhuang looked at the sky with far-reaching eyes and said sadly:

 “I’ve planned everything.”

 His face is neither sad nor happy, his eyes are calm, and there is no life or death.
