Chapter 623: Passing on without passing on
Xiao Yuer’s sect life began.
Every day, eating and drinking are done together with ink painting, except for classes.
Because he has just refined his qi, he needs to warm his meridians and lay a solid foundation.
This method of consolidating the foundation is very costly and requires a large amount of heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and precious spiritual fluids. The specific methods vary from person to person, and the inheritance methods of each family are different, and Taixu Sect does not teach these.
So when Mo Hua went to the Chuandao Pavilion for class, Yu'er would stand among the disciples, consolidate his foundation, practice, and do his homework. Then, Wen Renwei would guide him and learn some Taoist classics.
Mo Hua was out of class and returned to his disciple's residence.
Yu'er held a small bowl, sat next to Mo Hua, and ate with Mo Hua.
Other disciples were dumbfounded when they saw little Yu'er.
Wearing a small Taixu Sect Taoist robe, he looks like a Taixu Sect disciple, but he is too young to be a Taixu Sect disciple...
Cheng Mo then asked Mo Hua: "Mo Hua, who is this little guy?"
These disciples are becoming more and more polite to ink paintings.
Mo Hua shook his head, "No."
“Shangguanyu?” Cheng Mo frowned, “Shangguan’s family?”
Yu'er is very close to Mo Hua.
This must have such a deep "relationship" and such a hard "backstage"...
Mo Hua touched Yu'er's head and said, "That's right..."
"Shangguan family..." A disciple on the other side looked surprised and asked quietly, "Mo Hua, do you have the blood of Shangguan family?"
“It seems that Brother Mo is also very powerful in Taixu Sect!”
Yu'er, who was a little nervous because she entered Taixu Gate and met a bunch of strangers, immediately stiffened up.
Yu'er moved into the disciple's residence, and there were some changes in Mo Hua's life, but she got used to it for a few days and soon settled down again.
It’s just that I don’t know how true or false it is.
"If you have time, you can do more homework and practice more formations. I think you should use the limited time to study the Bagua formations instead of studying the Bagua here..."
Yu'er was unhappy and said in a sweet voice, "I'm not a little one, my name is Shangguan Yu!"
Yu'er couldn't calm down during the day, was a little nervous, a little uneasy, and didn't want to do her homework. Only when she stayed with Mo Hua in the evening did she feel at ease and study more seriously.
This is obviously no ordinary child.
With this relationship, everyone takes good care of Yu'er.
Cheng Mo felt a headache as soon as he heard the formation, and he immediately became honest and said with a smile:
“Bye bye, ‘little senior brother’, I was just joking…”
It was supposed to be "occasionally", but Mr. Xun became more and more lazy. He said that he was old and lacked energy, so he became a hands-off shopkeeper. Now he basically teaches the formations with ink painting.
Since then, Yu'er has lived with his disciples.
Yu'er is serious about doing basic enlightenment lessons.
Enroll in the school under special conditions and bring an escort.
Occasionally, I teach for Mr. Xun.
Mo Hua can be regarded as their “little senior brother”.
Some disciples had some connections with the Shangguan family. The Hui family asked their elders and found out Yu'er's identity, and they were even more shocked.
What's more, he is accompanied by a guard with a vague aura, but an extraordinary demeanor, as calm as a mountain, and obviously has extremely deep cultivation.
Cheng Mo was helpless. He couldn't get angry with a little kid, so he asked Mo Hua again:
“Your brother?”
He moved closer to Mo Hua again, holding the small bowl An Xin and started to eat.
…
Mo Hua was not happy either and said:
He still went to class, practice, and study during the day.
Yu'er ignored him, lowered her head to learn ink painting, and began to put rice into her mouth.
After class, I returned to the disciples' residence. Mo Hua and Yu'er did their homework together when they had time.
Cheng Mo scolded the disciple in a low voice:
"Idiot, can you say this? It must be hidden. In my opinion, Mo Hua must be the illegitimate son of the Shangguan family who lives outside..."
They also knew what the three words "Shangguanyu" meant, and when they looked at the ink painting, it became even more "meaningful".
You also said you have no background? What about the liar?
Cheng Mo stared at the ink painting, then at Yu'er, and muttered: "They do look a bit similar..."
The Shangguan family will send the legitimate son of the next head of the family to Taixu Gate to be your "little follower".
He pondered over spells and practiced formations.
He is cute and kind-hearted, like a mascot, very lovable.
The ink painting is somewhat unclear...
With just one word from Mo Hua, Yu'er made this tall and strong man obedient, with bright eyes full of admiration.
At midnight, Yu'er went to sleep.
Mo Hua also slept, but on one side he was on guard against demons disturbing Yu'er next door, while on the other side his consciousness sank into the sea of consciousness and continued to learn formations.
Fortunately, there are no unscrupulous monsters to bother Yu'er.
But it is a pity that there is no demon without eyesight that comes to deliver "rations" to Mo Hua...
In this way, the daily life of the sect is calm and peaceful, busy and fulfilling.
At the end of the tenth day, Mo Hua went out with Senior Sister Murong and others to do the reward mission.
Mo Hua’s original idea was to designate the mission first, then Uncle Gu would issue the mission, Senior Sister Murong would take over the mission, and she would follow the mission. After catching the criminal cultivator, she would gain both inheritance and merit.
But this is still too idealistic.
He rarely goes to Daotingsi and can't meet Uncle Gu at all, so he can't ask Uncle Gu to issue tasks.
It failed from the source.
Mo Hua sighed.
I can only think of a solution later if I have a chance to meet Uncle Gu.
On Daotingsi’s side, there is no way out for the time being, so for the current ink painting, we can only accept the reward at will.
I spent some time on my own and stared at Taixu Ling when I had time. When I saw a task that seemed "suspicious" to my intuition, I quickly contacted Murong Caiyun and asked her to take the next step.
After getting along for a period of time, Mo Hua unexpectedly discovered that Senior Sister Murong's status among fellow Taixu Sect members was much higher than he thought.
The prestige is high, the popularity is good, and the talent ability of family is one of the best. It is a veritable "master sister" among the disciples of the same session.
So her authority to accept tasks is also very high.
Murong Caiyun can take on any task that Mo Hua wants to take on.
Benefiting from this, even though he just accepted the reward "by chance", Mo Hua could often catch some criminal cultivators and seize some magic spells.
Murong Caiyun gradually got used to Mo Hua, her younger junior brother, and worked with her on tasks.
Because she accepted the mission, she was with Mo Hua on almost every mission, so she knew the most about Mo Hua.
Although Mo Hua is physically weak, his spiritual power is weak, and his personal killing ability is relatively weak.
But apart from that, he is good at hiding and has superb body skills, which is enough to protect himself...
Proficient in reconnaissance, interrogation, tracking, setting traps, coordinating sieges, spell control... everything.
He is also very good at formations, and he knows all kinds of weird, cunning, and even some formations that he has never heard of before.
Except for the slightly insufficient lethality, it is simply a treasure chest of formations, an all-powerful little junior brother...
Every time I take Mo Hua on a mission, it’s very worry-free.
But she also has regrets in her heart, that is, the Five Elements Amplification Formation.
Murong Caiyun didn't say anything, but he couldn't forget in his heart the feeling of being blessed by the formation and boiling with spiritual power.
She wanted to experience the feeling of increasing the five elements and the rapid flow of spiritual power, increasing the damage of spells and killing all directions.
It’s a pity that there are no opportunities later.
An opponent that can be dealt with can be defeated without the need for five-element amplification spells.
The best option for an opponent that cannot be defeated is not to take action forcefully.
Those who were originally evenly matched have become much weaker after using a series of methods such as Mo Hua's reconnaissance, ambush, siege, and control.
Also no need for spell amplification.
There is no need to use extremely expensive high-quality spells to decide the outcome.
Unless you encounter a truly powerful enemy, or have to fight to the death in a life-and-death battle...
…
So another two months passed, and Mo Hua kept following the tasks.
Completed many bounties, arrested seven or eight criminal cultivators, and seized several Five Elements spells. His meritorious service points also accumulated more and more, reaching 1,130 points.
Five hundred points of which were given by Yin Laoer’s mission.
Yin Laoer's mission did not have so many merits, but he himself was a wanted criminal by Daotingsi. He was proficient in concealment and assassination and had many lives under his command.
These miscellaneous crimes, when accumulated, are converted into a large amount of merit.
Mo Hua was so happy.
The seven or eight criminal cultivators arrested after that were just ordinary criminal cultivators and were not good at all, so some of them only had more than a hundred points, and some of them only had dozens of points.
But the ink painting is also very satisfying.
No matter how little it is, it is much better than drawing a first-grade formation by yourself and saving up as many points as you like.
One thousand one hundred and thirty o'clock!
Mo Hua feels rich!
These merit points are all saved by myself with hard work. I am a little reluctant to use them in ink painting, but in everything I pay attention to "making the best use of everything". If I don't use them, there is no point in earning merit points by myself.
He then arrived at the Gongxun Pavilion, and under the shocked eyes of the Gongxun elders, he generously bought six sets of second-grade and sixteen-pattern formations in one go.
It cost more than a thousand merit points in total.
The meritorious elder was stunned for a long time, and then said in disbelief:
“You kid, have you been robbed?”
Mo Hua shook his head.
“Then you committed murder and cheated?”
“Stealing someone else’s Taixu Order?”
“Or did you… secretly tamper with the Taixu Order?!”
Mo Hua was speechless, "Elder, am I such a person?"
The meritorious elder stared at the picturesque ink painting, took a glance, shook his head and said:
“It doesn’t look like it, but I don’t know behind the scenes…”
"I have to be able to do things like killing people, stealing goods, and tampering with the Taixu Order..." Mo Hua said helplessly.
The meritorious elder thought for a while and nodded, "That's right, I think highly of you..."
The meritorious elder thought about it again.
Taixu Ling has used this system for so many years, so it should be impossible for him to make mistakes. Now that he has it and uses it openly, he should have no worries.
As for the specific origin...
Since the Taixu order has been entered, it must be in compliance with the rules and procedures, and there is no need for me to embarrass this little kid.
"wait…"
The meritorious elder turned around, took out several array diagrams from the jade cabinets lined up behind, sealed them together, made notes, and handed them to Mo Hua.
But he was a little curious.
“Bahekan Water Formation, Floating Clouds and Sunda Wind Formation, Gentu Shanze Formation…”
“These are all second-grade and sixteen-line formations, right? You are only in the early stage of foundation building, what did you do instead?”
Mo Hua smiled and said: "I studied..."
The meritorious elder said solemnly: "This is no child's play. If you don't have enough spiritual consciousness, if you study these formations, the sea of consciousness will dry up and the foundation will be damaged..."
"Yeah!" Mo Hua accepted the kindness of the meritorious elder and said with a smile: "Elder, don't worry, Mr. Xun knows it."
Mo Hua moved Mr. Xun out again.
Mr. Xun's reputation is indeed very useful. When the meritorious elder heard this, he said with relief: "Okay, go ahead and follow Mr. Xun and learn well."
“Okay, elder!”
Mo Hua bowed and said goodbye.
Back at the back of the disciple's residence, while accompanying Yu'er to do her homework, Mo Hua spread out these second-grade and sixteen-pattern formations one by one and looked at them with great interest.
Six pairs in total.
They are all Bagua system formations. Sixteen lines are considered common formations, but they are also relatively unfamiliar formations in ink painting.
But the principles of formation can be understood in one way.
Mo Hua has been studying the Bagua formation for some time and has gradually gained his own experience. Even if the formation is unfamiliar at this time, he has figured it out by himself.
After Zi Shi, practice again and again on the Taoist monument.
It took about a month to learn ink painting almost.
At this time, Mo Hua realized that he had been too busy these days and had forgotten one thing:
The second-grade sixteen-pattern formation is already a second-grade mid-level formation master, and it is the formation that must be learned for the final grade assessment.
And his current level of formation master is only the first grade, which is really too low.
“Do you want to exchange it for a second-grade Tianshu ring?”
“I don’t know if the second-grade Tianshu Ring is good-looking or not.”
Mo Hua muttered in his heart and went to the elder's residence again.
There are too many aristocratic families in Qianzhou and their power is complex. It is difficult to decide on the final product for ink painting. You should be more modest and ask Mr. Xun for advice.
The elder is in the middle, and Mr. Xun is drinking tea leisurely.
The formation class was all given to Mo Hua. Mr. Xun was relieved. He was a little free now and could take the time to sort out his lifelong experience of teaching formation.
Then give this experience to Mo Hua, and he can almost become a hands-on shopkeeper.
It is not the first time that ink paintings have come to Mr. Xun’s room.
The boy at the door didn't stop him either.
The interior is simple, clean, spotless, and without any clutter, giving it a sense of returning to nature.
After Mo Hua entered the door, he bowed and asked Mr. Xun in a low voice:
“Old sir, is it appropriate for me to order a second-level primary formation master now?”
“Is it a final product...”
Mr. Xun took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, let's decide..."
As if thinking of something, Mr. Xun put down his teacup and asked casually: "What did you learn?"
"Almost sixteen lines..." Mo Hua said.
"Sixteen lines already..." Mr. Xun nodded, "That's almost it. If you learn more and consolidate it, you will be in the second grade..."
Mr. Xun hesitated for a moment, frowned and said, "How many lines?"
“Sixteen…”
Mr. Xun was stunned for a long time, looking at the ink paintings and unable to say a word.
Mo Hua then remembered that he had not told Mr. Xun about the sixteen patterns of his spiritual consciousness.
The elders of Taixu Sect will not peek into the consciousness of their disciples.
“Old sir…”
Mo Hua said softly.
Mr. Xun finally came back to his senses and his brows trembled, "When did it happen?"
It was quite early...
That time I went to Shangguan's house, guarded Yu'er at night, killed a bunch of demons and ghosts, and "ate" a ram's horn as a ritual. After digesting it, my spiritual consciousness had sixteen lines.
However, Mo Hua was afraid that Mr. Xun would not be able to accept it, so he euphemistically said: "Just these two days..."
"Um."
Mr. Xun nodded and pretended to be calm, but he couldn't help but take a breath...
Sixteen lines!
How long has it been since then, and I have sixteen lines of spiritual consciousness!
At the early stage of foundation building, the sixteen lines of spiritual consciousness are not yet reached to the limit! What kind of little monster is this from his grandma?
Taixu Gate has been open to accept disciples for thousands of years, and I'm afraid it has never seen such a little monster!
He wanted to take some time to visit the Taixu ancestor's tomb in the forbidden area of the back mountain.
Look to see if there is any smoke!
Mr. Xun forced himself to calm down, frowned, and remembered what happened before, suddenly feeling enlightened.
No wonder…
“You asked me about the Sixteen Patterns and the Beacon Fire Yuan Magnetic Array before…”
“It turns out that the spiritual consciousness is about to reach the sixteenth line, so I want to ask for advice in advance to facilitate my understanding later..."
“It’s good to be steady and steady, and to preview in a forward-looking way…”
When Mo Hua saw Mr. Xun, his expression changed on his usually serious and rigid face. He didn't know what he was thinking, so he asked:
“Old sir, can I order it?”
Mr. Xun was startled and raised his eyebrows.
Of course!
You can’t decide the product, who can?
Sixteen lines of spiritual consciousness, such a profound knowledge of formations, if this cannot be determined, I will pluck the noses of the examiners who determine the examination.
But just as Mr. Xun was about to speak, he paused again, and there was another trace of worry between his eyebrows.
Sixteen lines…
It’s too outrageous…
If this is really decided, there will definitely be an uproar.
He has just started, less than a year ago, and if he is so prominent, he will be hated and coveted by others.
With great fame, it is easy to become impatient and lose one's normal mind, making it difficult to concentrate on studying formations.
Such a good seedling cannot be destroyed before it has grown up...
Mr. Xun thought about it for a long time, shook his head, and sighed: "It's a bit difficult..."
Mo Hua was shocked, "With sixteen lines, is it still difficult to finalize it?"
Old Mr.
"For things like formation, it also depends on talent, understanding, and more importantly, tempering."
“This is the boundary of Qianxue State. There are countless geniuses and formation geniuses, as numerous as stars, innumerable…”
“Keep a humble heart…”
“Don’t look down on others…”
“Some people may not have the same spiritual consciousness as you, but they have been exposed to formations since they were young. They have a rich family background and a profound knowledge of formations. Their experience and knowledge of formations may not be inferior to yours..."
Mo Hua thought about it for a while and couldn't help but nodded. He felt that Mr. Xun's words made sense.
Don’t underestimate Qianzhou’s formation genius!
Mo Hua said sincerely: "What the old gentleman said is that there is heaven outside the sky and there are people outside the world. My disciples understand this!"
Mr. Xun glanced at Mo Hua silently and thought to himself, it is enough for others to say this, but you should not say it yourself.
It’s unclear who the “heaven” outside the sky is...
But it’s hard for him to explain clearly.
Mr. Xun thought for a while, sighed again, and added:
“And the most important thing…”
“Even if you have the ability to determine products, the Taoist court’s decision-making depends on the quota and recommendation. After all, you are too young and have too little qualifications, so it is not convenient for you to be recommended..."
“The assessment process is actually a relatively rigid ‘exam-taking’. It has a cumbersome process and requires a lot of learning. It is standardized and formulaic, but it is not real..."
"This will waste a lot of time, and to be honest, it will not enhance your formation level."
"Your current task is to learn the formations, work hard, and improve yourself. Don't waste time on these rigid and exam-oriented things."
“When you have reached a high enough level in the future and have needs, you can then consider the final product.”
"In the face of the absolute strength of the formation, those trivial thresholds for taking the exam are not worth mentioning..."
Mo Hua nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
But at the same time, he had a little worry: "Old sir, I can't determine the rank, I can't accept the formation task of the second rank, and it's very slow to accumulate merit..."
Actually, he is no longer slow in accumulating meritorious deeds.
But he wanted to go faster...
“Are you doing meritorious deeds…?”
Mr. Xun stroked his beard and nodded slightly.
This is indeed a problem.
He had ignored it before.
To draw the sixteen lines of spiritual consciousness in ink, it is natural to learn the sixteen lines formation.
It can be exchanged for the Sixteen Pattern Formation, which requires a lot of merit points. I hope he can do those "entry" tasks and save little by little, and he will probably save them until the year of the monkey.
This will greatly slow down the progress of learning formations in ink painting.
This also deviates from my original intention.
Let Mo Hua accumulate meritorious deeds so that he can undergo some training, get to know fellow sect members, help each other, and have a sense of sect honor, instead of deliberately making things difficult for him.
Mr. Xun thought for a moment and then said:
“It doesn’t matter, I will change your authority for you. You will be a second-grade formation master in Taixu Sect.”
Mo Hua was stunned.
Can this also work...
Mo Hua asked in a low voice: "If you change it to the second grade, will it be regarded as the second grade?"
"That's natural..." Mr. Xun said, "After you decide on the product, and the sect approves it, you will be given the corresponding authority. Although you have not yet determined the product, after my approval, I can still give you the authority..."
“Sect authority is a kind of permission.”
“With permission, you can take on the mission.”
“Otherwise, if you accept a second-grade formation mission, do you still need to show the second-grade Tianshu Ring?”
"oh oh."
Mo Hua nodded, indicating that he understood.
“You’re too kind to give me your order...”
Mo Hua handed Taixu Order to Mr. Xun.
Mr. Xun took the Taixu Order and without thinking about anything else, he started to modify the authority of the Taixu Order in front of the ink painting...
Looking at the ink paintings on the side, I suddenly froze.
His heart was filled with turmoil.
It is easy to open permissions and takes a short time. It is different if you can change the permissions.
If it were before, Mo Hua wouldn't understand it either.
But things are different now. He has learned the Yuan Magnetic Array, and used the trick to calculate the amplification, and he has gained insight into the essence of the magnetic patterns - primary thunder patterns.
He even accumulated a "treasury of secondary thunder patterns" and used secondary thunder patterns to unlock seal patterns and secret patterns.
Now he can clearly feel...
The so-called "modification of permissions" is essentially Mr. Xun using a very special secondary thunder pattern to reversely affect the formation, change the double magnetic pattern, thereby modifying the bottom layer of the Taixu Order and changing his own permissions!
Mo Hua was stunned.
This feeling is like...
Someone used a golden key to demonstrate in front of him how to open the secret treasure house...
