MTL - Asking About Longevity-Chapter 39 correct
Chapter 39 Correction
Mo Hua frowned.
Something’s not quite right…
How can the formation assessment of the third level of Qi Refining be tested on a formation that includes six formation patterns? Could it be that the teacher got the wrong test paper?
Teachers should not make this kind of mistake. Is there some other deeper meaning?
At this time, some disciples were already writing furiously, but most likely they didn’t know anything and couldn’t leave blank space, so they were drawing blindly with their eyes closed.
Mo Hua gathered his thoughts and warned himself:
“Since the teacher is taking the six-line formation as a test, he must have a purpose. Perhaps he wants us to know that the formation method is profound and profound, so that we should not be arrogant and arrogant..."
After Mo Hua calmed down, he concentrated on studying the formation.
The name of the formation is "Dingshui Formation". The purpose is not stated, but the annotations are complete. Although the formation contains six formation patterns, the formation patterns are quite simple. The structure is also what teachers often talk about in class, so it is not unusual.
But despite this, it is still impossible to memorize the formation pattern, learn to draw the formation, and draw the formation in a short period of time.
If no one can draw it, the teaching should be based on the completion of the formation.
Ink painting can only be memorized as much as possible, as much as you can draw.
Once you concentrate on drawing the formations, time passes quickly. However, when the exam time is over, the ink painting is still not finished. Only a little more than five formations are drawn. The five formations drawn are not carefully checked. I don't know if there is any error.
Mo Hua felt a little regretful, and also understood that he still had a long way to go in terms of formation.
After the formations were drawn, they were all sent to the Mingde Building in Tongming Peak.
Tongxianmen’s teachings will be recorded here and their coursework will be corrected.
Yan Jiao Xi, who had always been serious, now looked sullen and looked dissatisfied at the middle-aged monk in front of him who was wearing the robe of an elder of the Tongxian Sect:
“Elder Qian, what does this mean? Didn’t you say that you only tested the first two formations of the fixed water formation? Why did you test the entire formation?”
“The way of formation is profound and profound. I want my disciples to understand this in advance.”
“Then what?” Yan Jiaoxi raised his eyebrows.
“Then, they will retreat when faced with difficulties and no longer dream of becoming formation masters.”
Elder Qian said calmly, "The formation of six formations is the threshold for formation masters. Such difficult formations cannot be learned by these untalented outer disciples."
Yan Jiaoxi suppressed his anger and said: "I am the teacher of the outer sect. Is Elder Qian too lenient?"
"Yan Jiaoxi, these disciples from the outer sect cannot be formation masters. It is a complete waste of time for you to teach them."
"so what?"
Elder Qian became polite, "Yan Jiaoxi, we are all aware of your formation level, and we greatly admire it. But with your talent, you can teach these dull-qualified outer disciples, especially most of them are casual cultivators. You Don’t you feel that you are undermining your talents?”
“What do you mean?” Yan Jiaoxi’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Elder Qian solemnly said: "As long as Yan Jiaoxi agrees, my Qian family is willing to hire you as a tutor of the Qian family with great courtesy, and teach my Qian family's children to study formations, whether it is spiritual stones, spiritual objects or some formation inheritance, you just need to speak, My Qian family will try their best to satisfy you."
Yan Jiaoxi’s eyelids twitched slightly and he said nothing.
Elder Qian paused for a moment and then said: "Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to leave Tongxian Sect. I can recommend you to enter the inner sect and become an elder, teach the inner sect disciples formations, and even teach the direct disciples. By then the sect The direct descendants of the sect will all address you as sir, as your status is much higher than that of the ordinary elders of the sect."
Yan Jiaoxi was silent, and then slowly said after a moment: "What if I don't agree?"
Elder Qian's face turned cold, "Why is Yan Jiaoxi so stubborn?"
"I teach formations to teach people, not for fame and fortune." Yan Jiaoxi said.
Elder Qian sneered, "Okay, you are noble!"
After saying that, he ignored the strict teachings and walked away. Teacher Zhou on the side said: "Mr. Yan, why are you doing this? The Qian family is powerful and we can't afford to offend him."
Yan Jiaoxi sighed, "I just can't stand it. If this continues, the sect and the family will be in cahoots, and those low-level casual disciples will have no way to practice Taoism."
Zhou Laojiaoxi also sighed: "When the old leader was in power, he could still withstand the pressure of the Qian family. Now that the old leader is old and is about to abdicate, the Tongxian Sect may be different..."
Yan Jiaoxi was also worried.
"According to me, Elder Qian is treating you as a courtesy. You are indeed very careful in teaching these outer disciples, but what's the use? Few can go far on the path of formation. It’s not unreasonable to practice being a Formation Master.”
Mr. Zhou advised: "Don't make trouble until the end. You won't even be able to teach."
Yan Jiaoxi was unmoved: "As long as I am a teacher, I will do what I have to do to the end."
Laojiao Zhou shook his head and said nothing more.
Yan Jiaoxi sighed again. After calming down, he opened the formation test paper on the table.
Even if there are mistakes in the test questions, he still has to correct them carefully.
Of course the result of the correction is a mess.
Most disciples can only draw one or two formation patterns, and some can't do it at all, so they just draw some random things to fool themselves.
Yan Jiaoxi silently memorized the names of these disciples. He would not be able to understand them. He could draw as many as he could, but he could not scribble in a perfunctory manner.
There are also some who are better at painting, generally those from better-off families in Tongxian City and those who have been enlightened with formations since childhood. These disciples can usually draw three formations, which is also the spiritual consciousness of ordinary third-level monks in Qi Refining. As far as it goes, it’s pretty good.
Yan Jiaoxi couldn't help but think of Mo Hua. There were very few children like Mo Hua who were born as casual cultivators and were gifted with spiritual knowledge.
Judging from the progress of the ink painting, it is estimated that about four formation patterns can be drawn. If I am not lazy during the summer vacation, I should be able to draw four more formations.
Yan Jiaoxi kept correcting it, and finally saw the scroll of ink painting. When he opened it and took a look, he was stunned.
There are five formations neatly painted on the scroll, and there are more. The second half of the formation is obviously a bit sloppy due to lack of time, but there is no problem with the brushwork.
Yan Jiaoxi frowned.
In other words, for the ink painting on the third level of Qi Refining, if you draw the fixed water formation for the first time, you can draw five and a half formation patterns!
Five and a half formations...
This not only requires experience and understanding of the formation, but also requires strong spiritual support.
Yan Jiaoxi had learned to draw formations using ink before. Although he was able to draw four formations, he was obviously a bit reluctant and his spiritual consciousness was not strong enough.
But two months later, he was able to draw five and a half lines of Dingshui Formation.
If this is true, it means that Mo Hua, a child, is not only born with extraordinary spiritual consciousness, but his spiritual consciousness is also growing at an incredibly fast rate. Apart from the growth of cultivation, there is no way for monks to quickly enhance their spiritual consciousness.
Yan Jiaoxi held his breath and stared at the ink painting paper again in disbelief. Then he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "This is impossible..."
When Zhou Laojiaoxi heard this, he saw Yan Jiaoxi looking absent-minded and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Yan, what happened?"
Yan Jiaoxi came back to his senses, his expression moved slightly, he thought for a moment, and then he said: "Some disciples' formations were too outrageous, and they lost their composure for a moment..."
Mr. Zhou showed an understanding look, "It is indeed not easy to teach these disciples. Please don't take it too seriously, I teach you. You must cultivate your character and keep away your anger..."
Yan Jiaoxi nodded, but his eyes were still staring at the ink painting paper, and his mood was fluctuating for a while.
