Chapter 93 Your Name!

Using the Qilin Formation Diagram as an example to teach the contents of the Imperial Sutra, Zu Wenyuan made this suggestion, and Li Guanyi had no reason to refuse it, and immediately said, "Of course I am willing."

The old man stroked his beard and asked Li Guanyi to close the door.

Li Guanyi closed the doors and windows. It was still afternoon outside. Although the sun was already a little westward, it had not yet set. However, the room suddenly became dark. The old man lit a candle and said softly:
"Since it is a secret teaching, it cannot fall into the hands of others."

"Come, come, come."

Li Guanyi sat next to the old man. The old man pointed at the complicated volume and said, "The reason why I suddenly remembered to use this Qilin Pavilion formation diagram to explain it to you is that you seem to be quite interested in the formation, and secondly, it is also because of your body skills."

Li Guanyi said: "My power body? All four symbols gathered together?"

Zu Wenyuan nodded and pointed at the scroll, saying, "The formation in Qilin Pavilion is based on the Yin-Yang and Five Elements. It was created by Si Wei, the second of the top three seats of the Yin-Yang School. It uses Yin-Yang to move the Five Elements, uses the Five Elements to transform the Four Symbols, and finally uses the Four Symbols to form the formation."

"Although I have many volumes of mathematical scriptures here, they are too boring for beginners."

"The central Wu Earth Qilin can only be trapped by the Four Symbols. It also happens to be in line with your body."

"This is the most suitable way to get you started."

Li Guanyi asked curiously, "Si Wei, are you from the same sect as Master Siming?"

Zu Wenyuan sighed and said, "No."

"It's just that what they both learned can be classified as the Yin-Yang School, and they are both famous and have done things that ordinary people dare not think of. But in fact, they are like enemies. If they meet, they will definitely kill each other. Although Senior Siming is invincible in observing qi and fortune-telling, if they fight, I'm afraid he will die at the hands of Si Wei."

"It's not hard to understand. Since ancient times, hasn't it always been military strategists killing military strategists and Confucian scholars destroying Confucian scholars?"

“Same school, but different ideas and concepts.”

"For some people, it is more hateful and more murderous than other schools."

Zu Wenyuan's voice was complex, and it seemed to contain emotions that Li Guanyi had not yet understood. The old man pointed at the file and introduced to Li Guanyi the meaning of the words themselves one by one, as well as the changes that would occur when these words were combined together.

Li Guanyi's expression slowly tensed.

difficult!
It is simply too difficult!
The logical system of the formation reminded Li Guanyi of the programming language he had learned before. If yin and yang represent zero and one in the program, the changes of yin and yang lead to the five elements, and the five elements are twisted into four symbols again. Then the twenty-eight constellations and the Zhoutian astrology are used as program systems. Then the "Four-Phase Soul Trapping Formation" in front of him is equivalent to an extremely complex super-giant program.

Densely packed words appeared on the scroll.

When unfolded, the scroll is more than twenty meters long and is written in small regular script with intricate text.

Every word contains enough information to be broken down into several sentences.

When they collide, more changes in meaning will occur.

Zu Wenyuan explained slowly, and Li Guanzhi could only memorize it by rote. The old man said, "The way of formation lies in the infinite changes, and the energy of yin and yang is the most basic existence of change. The two yin and yang flow and transform into the five elements and four images. Si Wei's formation can be said to be alive. It is constantly changing."

"One wrong step will be like an avalanche, causing the backlash of yin and yang energy."

"It's really amazing. He only completed this formation when he was only 30 years old."

"Only a formation like this can trap a mythical beast like the Qilin."

Li Guanyi exhaled and felt a pain in his forehead.

"Thirty?"

"Is he still presiding over this formation?"

Zu Wenyuan said, "He is very violent and arrogant. If he were still here, I would not have been asked to repair this formation diagram. After he completed the formation more than ten years ago, he left on his own. He said that he wanted to use the mountains, rivers, land veins, and all things as a formation to forge an unparalleled formation that would cover the entire Central Plains."

"No one has seen him for more than ten years. Siming came here to look for traces of Siwei."

The old man smiled and said, "Take your time. We still have plenty of time."

"I only have one volume of the Imperial Sutra, and the whole book has sixty-four volumes. I think that when you have thoroughly understood this volume of the Four Symbols Formation, it means that you have understood the law of the circulation of the Four Symbols. At that time, your body problem will be solved naturally."

"The second level of warriors also requires Hun Yuan, right?"

Li Guanyi said: "Senior is right."

"It's just that this 'Huangji Jingshi Shu' is really complicated."

The old man chuckled and said, "Is it complicated?"

"Since it is a good thing and a unique skill, it is naturally not easy to master it."

"But don't think that this 'Four Symbols Soul Trapping Formation' is useless. If you learn it, you can use it. You have the Four Spirits Dharmakaya. As long as your skills are sufficient, you can form a formation by yourself and seal off everything."

"One person forms a formation?"

Zu Wenyuan said, "Yes, about the second floor. Once the Qi is several feet out of the body, it can be used initially. This formation is from the beginning to the mastery, from the two yin and yang, three talents, four images. Qilin Pavilion only uses [trap], but with Si Wei's violent temper, how could this formation only have the effect of [trap]?"

"After [trapping] there must be [killing]."

“Although warriors always say that they are invincible in close combat when wearing armor and holding weapons, if you have the ability to form a formation with one person, the Four Spirits Locking Essence, you will be able to fight with warriors of higher realms than you without being defeated, and you may even be able to defeat them.”

"You have to learn it well."

At this moment, there was a burst of noisy noise suddenly coming from outside.

Zu Wenyuan raised his eyes slightly: "Here we go again."

Li Guan thought of what the little Taoist priest said before, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it a monk?"

"Even if the emperor doesn't allow ordinary yamen runners and constables to attack monks and Taoists, do they dare to come to the Taoist temple and make trouble at this time?"

The old man seemed to have never been angry, and just said:
"It's not without reason. This place was originally a temple."

"More than ten years ago, when the eldest brother of Prince Puyang, who was also the brother of the Prince Regent, was the emperor, he was a devout Buddhist. There were 480 temples in the Southern Dynasty. Later, the cavalry of Prince Puyang trampled through them and burned them to ashes. The monks who were not captured and sent into exile fled everywhere."

"Later, wandering Taoists gradually gathered here and built this Taoist temple."

"Gradually, the incense business started to grow, and this place became somewhat famous. Some monks came and said that this piece of land belonged to them, and they wanted the Taoists to leave here and pay the rent for occupying their land for more than ten years in one go. The price was 100,000 taels of silver."

Li Guanyi was dumbfounded and asked, "How could they be like this?"

"All the temples here were burned down, and they ran away."

Zu Wenyuan said: "That's what they said."

"However, the Taoists are not good-tempered either. The two sides have quarreled and fought more than once or twice. Recently, there was a grand sacrifice. The emperor believed in Buddhism and Taoism and did not allow ordinary yamen runners to attack them. I heard that the Living Buddha from the Western Regions also came here as a guest of the grand sacrifice. These monks are getting bolder and bolder."

Li Guanyi was surprised and asked, "Living Buddha of the Western Regions?"

"Isn't there a Buddhist country in the Western Regions? Living Buddhas rule over a vast area." This was General Xue's knowledge. Zu Wenyuan was surprised and couldn't help but point at Li Guanyi and said with a smile:
"You, what era is this? How come your knowledge is older than mine?"

"More than five hundred years ago, a divine general from the Central Plains attacked the Buddhist Kingdom. He used his halberd to strike the Living Buddha in three moves, causing his golden body to shatter and he fell to the ground vomiting blood. This destroyed the dignity of the Buddhist Kingdom, but it was able to barely survive. After that, they exploited their slaves to the extreme. However, one of their slaves escaped."

"That slave traveled in the Central Plains for more than ten years."

"He made many good friends and established the Alliance of the Fire of the Troubled Times. Finally, he returned to the Western Regions and wiped out everything. That was Tuyuhun. The Buddhist country in the Western Regions that you mentioned had long been trampled into dust by the iron cavalry of Tuyuhun."

"I heard that when he was young, he had an older sister who sang to him. Her voice was as clear as the wind on the grassland. Later, the sister disappeared and no trace of her could be found. Tuyuhun fled like crazy."

"Finally, when the overlord conquered the Western Regions, the Living Buddha tried to please him by playing a song of submission for him using the most exquisite musical instruments. They were a bone flute made from the calf bones of a beautiful girl and a ritual instrument made from a skull. The sound produced by the flute was clear and melodious, like the wind on the grassland."

"The moonlight was like frost. The overlord of the Western Regions sat alone in the palace of the Buddha Kingdom, leaning on his sword, quietly all night." "Then he tied up the living Buddha and put him in his pocket. On the grassland, the heavy iron cavalry of the Western Regions trampled back and forth for three hours, trampling the living Buddha with a diamond body into meat paste."

"He raised his knife in the sun and burned the Buddha's palace, and the serfs in the palace raised their knives."

"He thus had the first invincible Western Army."

"The living Buddha nowadays can only be regarded as a martial arts sect, which cannot be compared with the grand occasion of hundreds of years ago. This time, they dared to come out from the Western Regions and come to the Central Plains, and even shamelessly participated in the grand sacrifice of the State of Chen."

"It's just because the Tuyuhun state has perished, and they want to climb up to the power of the Chen State like the Dangxiang people and rise in the Western Regions."

The old man asked Li Guanyi to take out the royal seal he carried with him. He held up the small royal seal in his hand and said:

"The golden relics handed down from generation to generation in the Buddhist kingdom have all been melted in."

"Guan Yi, according to the principles of the Buddha's kingdom, your current status is higher than that of the Living Buddha, and you can also sit on the lotus platform."

Li Guanyi grinned, but did not respond to the old man's teasing. He just said:

"The emperor's intention is probably not just to support Buddhism, right?"

Zu Wenyuan smiled and said, “Yes, but it’s only because the officials of the noble families are close to the Taoist sect.”

"His Majesty the Emperor feels uneasy, so he supports Buddhism and suppresses Taoism."

"He obtained the throne through competition among several parties, so he only believed in the word balance in his life and was unwilling to let any party's power grow. If you understand this, you will know that he has always been afraid."

The court has rules that prohibit the use of sword energy and other means in the capital.

Besides, those who can emit sword energy from their bodies are all at the level of captains, which is considered to be well-known among monks. They will not appear here. However, the old man just pulled him and smiled slightly, saying: "No hurry, no hurry, take a look at the formation diagram first."

Li Guanyi sat down.

The old man continued to explain the changes in the formation to him slowly and calmly.

Li Guanyi concentrated and calmed his mind, relying on his experience of studying madly the night before the exam in his previous life and special training, and he memorized the contents of the formation by heart. Finally, relying on the superposition of his souls from two lives and the strengthening of his soul from playing the piano for ten years, he managed to memorize it.

I felt dizzy and the veins on my forehead were throbbing.

The noise outside was getting closer.

The old man smiled at the young man in front of him and said, "Have you written it down?"

Li Guanyi said, "I've remembered it."

The old man nodded, and with a flick of his wrist, he closed the scroll, just as the candle flame was about to burn out. The old man smiled and said, "Then, come back tomorrow, and I will teach you the first level of transformation."

"Guan Yi, you will deliver this formation diagram to the Suzaku Gate of the Imperial Palace."

Li Guan took the scroll with a glance.

"Yes."

Maybe, get closer to Qilin.

A monk had already rushed to the door. Li Guan stood up, and the moment the other party opened the door, he raised his right foot and kicked him directly in the chest. The frustrated feeling in his heart, as if he had been reading math problems for ten hours, burst out instantly.

Outside the door was a monk who was nine feet tall and had a waist as thick as a water tank. The young man kicked him three feet off the ground and he rolled over, making a loud noise. Li Guanyi retracted his leg, exhaled, closed the scroll, and put it behind his back. The people outside suddenly started to make a noise.

Looking outside from this room, there were a bunch of fat monks rushing forward in the Taoist temple. The Taoists were thin. The Taoists here did not practice martial arts, so they were no match for the opponent. Even the pharmacists who cooked medicine for the people were pushed down, and the stove fell to the ground, with a strong smell of medicine.

A monk shouted, "Here comes another little Taoist priest!"

"Knock him over!"

Li Guanyi exhaled, raised his hand and grabbed the green bamboo next to him that was used to dry clothes. He shook his hand and the green bamboo stabbed out directly like a spear. With a move of his wrist, the green bamboo shook, and several monks were directly blown away.

The monks started to quarrel and rushed towards Li Guanyi. The other pilgrims could not intervene due to the court rules. Li Zhaowen was about to leave, but saw Li Guanyi coming out with a stick in his hand. He frowned slightly. He thought he would suffer a loss if he had to deal with dozens of fat monks alone and could not kill them all.

She held down her weapon, but was immediately surprised.

The young man strode out, holding the long stick in his hand, sweeping forward, stabbing and slashing. Dozens of monks were no match for him. More than a dozen monks rushed up and hugged his green bamboo stick. Li Zhaowen had already stepped forward, but the young man suddenly shouted loudly.

One was a handsome boy of fourteen years old, and the other was a group of a dozen fat monks with round heads and big ears who were specially selected. The contrast was exaggerated at first glance, but the boy actually lifted up all the monks with just a green bamboo!
Changsun Wugou was stunned.

What a physique!

What kind of strength is this? The second young lady who saw this scene...

She turned around and saw the girl holding the sword, watching the scene with a pair of bright lights in her almond-shaped eyes, filled with excitement. Changsun Wugou sighed, helpless.

Sure enough.

After Li Guan mentioned these dozen monks, he suddenly shouted loudly, holding the green bamboo with both hands, just like a fierce general shaking the two-meter-long spear. With just a shake, the force spread, and more than a dozen monks were knocked over and could not hold the green bamboo.

He fell to the ground, groaning continuously.

Li Guanyi just exhaled a few times, and his muscles, which had exploded with extreme strength, began to recover rapidly.

A physique of dragon tendons and tiger marrow!
Li Guanyi used a green bamboo to knock the other monks to the ground. The monk's face was bruised and swollen, and he shouted like a scoundrel: "We are in trouble today. Hey, who are you, a Taoist priest? Do you dare to leave your name?!"

Li Guanyi was going to the Suzaku Gate and was too lazy to answer.

Leave your name, you’re not a ranger.

He simply raised the green bamboo in his hand and pointed it at the monk, frightening him so much that his face turned pale. Then he turned his wrist and the green bamboo spun like a dragon, pointing at the Taoist temple behind him. Then he put away his weapon and strode away. The monks were puzzled and just said, "Taoist temple, you can't call it Taoist temple?!"

"No, Brother, maybe he wants us to go to a Taoist priest?"

"Could it be some Taoist priest?"

Changsun Wugou blinked and said gently, "The Taoist temple is called Li Dao, right?"

"Or Li Guan?"

She is a kind-hearted lady, whispering to herself in her heart, a Taoist temple.

李。

Li Yiguan, or rather...

Li Guanyi?

Zhangsun Wugou seemed to understand, and Li Zhaowen pressed his sword and said with a smile: "Li Guan, Li Dao?"

"What kind of name is that?"

She thought about it and said with a smile: "Maybe it is like this?"

Looking ahead, a young man in a brocade robe, holding a green bamboo in his hand, walked slowly with big strides. Although he was just a young man, wearing a brocade robe and holding a green bamboo, the people crawling around him made him look as if he was wearing armor and holding a spear, full of imposing manner.

Li Zhaowen said: "There is a pharmacist inside, so his name is——"

The girl with the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix looked at the boy who was holding the bamboo as if he were holding a spear and walking slowly, and said:

"Call me Pharmacist Li."
