Asking about longevity

The discussion will be over.

Ink painting kills everyone.

The Five Elements Sect was completely defeated.

Mr. Zhuang left the Zangzhen Pavilion calmly, his expression as before, aloof and arrogant, with a hint of calmness.

It seemed that this small scene was not worthy of his emotion.

But Mo Hua was very familiar with Mr. Zhuang and knew that although his master looked dull now, he must be very happy in his heart.

Mr. Zhuang was happy, and Mo Hua also felt that the trip was worthwhile, and couldn't help but hold his head high and follow Mr. Zhuang.

Seeing that his junior brother was in the limelight, Bai Zisheng nodded with a look of pride on his face.

Bai Zixi also glanced at Mo Hua, with watery eyes and a slight smile on her lips.

…

The master and disciples left the Zangzhen Pavilion and returned to the guest room.

Mr. Zhuang praised the ink painting and said:

“Well done!”

Mo Hua smiled and said: "Master taught me well!"

Mr. Zhuang was in a very good mood.

Having a well-behaved apprentice is just different.

Mr. Zhuang said again:

"Take a rest today and learn the Five Elements Spirit Formation tomorrow."

"Um!"

Mo Hua nodded fiercely, eyes full of expectation.

Then he thought of something again and became a little worried, "Master, will the Five Elements Sect let me learn the Five Elements Spiritual Formation?"

Mr. Zhuang's eyes narrowed slightly, "For the sake of the ancestors of the Five Elements Sect, I have given them enough face..."

"They set the rules, they set the test questions, and they asked them to find help. In the end, they clearly lost..."

"If that's the case, if you still push back and don't fulfill the agreement we made back then, don't blame me for not caring about our feelings..."

Mo Hua was relieved, but still had some concerns:

"Even if I were to learn it, it would probably be a stumbling block."

Mr. Zhuang nodded, "That's natural, but as long as it's not excessive, I don't bother to worry about such sneaky methods."

Mr. Zhuang glanced at the ink painting and patted his small shoulder gently:

"You will encounter a lot of these little tricks in the future, learn to deal with them yourself."

Mo Hua nodded, "Okay, Master."

Mr. Zhuang looked a little tired. He closed his eyes slightly and regained his composure. Then he opened his eyes and continued to give instructions:

"Tomorrow you and your senior brothers and sisters will go to the Hidden Formation Pavilion to see if you can understand the Five Elements Spirit Formation."

After Mr. Zhuang finished speaking, he looked at Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi and said:

"Mo Hua has enough spiritual consciousness to learn the formation of the Thirteen Patterns."

"You don't have enough consciousness, so try to use the method I teach you..."

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi nodded respectfully.

Mo Hua's expression moved slightly and he hesitated to speak, but in the end he said nothing.

However, his expression was still noticed by Mr. Zhuang.

After Mr. Zhuang finished his instructions and asked the disciples to go back, he paused and called out to Mo Hua again.

"Ink painting."

Mo Hua, who had reached the threshold, turned back, a little confused, "Master?"

Mr. Zhuang waved.

Mo Hua then walked up to Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang was silent for a moment and asked:

"You...want to ask something?"

Mo Hua hesitated and shook his head.

Mr. Zhuang's eyes were gentle, as if he could see through Mo Hua's thoughts, and he said softly:

"Ask whatever you want."

Mo Hua knew that he couldn't hide it from Mr. Zhuang, so he stopped hiding it and asked in a low voice:

"Master, what exactly is your teacher's brother and sister?"

"Want to know?"

"Yeah." Mo Hua nodded.

He was indeed curious.

Mr. Zhuang looked thoughtfully and asked instead of answering:

"You...why didn't you ask me before?"

Mo Hua said frankly: "Master is far-sighted and naturally has his own plans for doing things. If you can tell me, you will definitely tell me. If you don't tell me, it's obviously because I don't know..."

Mr. Zhuang was slightly startled, and then his heart felt warm, like a stream soaked in sunshine in spring, slowly flowing through his heart.

Mr. Zhuang's eyes were gentle and he asked Mo Hua softly:

"Don't you think I favor your senior brother and sister?"

Mo Hua shook his head, "Master has treated me very well!"

What should be taught, what can be taught, even some things that are beyond the syllabus, what should not be taught, and what cannot be taught, are all taught to myself.

On weekdays, I ask the most questions.

Master also took the trouble to answer questions in the most detailed manner.

On weekdays, senior brothers and sisters are more in awe of their master.

The master treats me more closely.

Speaking of which, Mo Hua felt that his master was still more partial to him.

Mo Hua looked at Mr. Zhuang, his eyes were clear and spotless, with dependence and trust as crystal clear as amber.

Mr. Zhuang's eyes were slightly moist, and the feeling in his heart was hard to describe.

He took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"Mo Hua, you must remember the next words, but don't mention them to anyone."

Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart and nodded seriously.

Mr. Zhuang made a seal with his hands and flicked it lightly.

Nothing changes around.

But Mo Hua vaguely felt that the area within a few feet of this house seemed to be isolated.

It isolates not only sound but also cause and effect.

Mr. Zhuang said solemnly:

"The trickster..."

Mo Hua's expression changed and his pupils shrank.

Nothing happened around me.

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Zhuang knew that Mo Hua understood, so he continued:

"I told you, there is a sect in our lineage."

"Young Taoist, Zixi and Zisheng's mother, and I come from the same sect, and are fellow seniors."

"Now, you, Zi Sheng, and Zi Xi are also disciples of this sect."

"This sect has a long heritage."

"My teacher is the forty-ninth head of this sect."

"But I can't tell you what this sect is called, and you can't know either."

"This sect has many inheritances. Among them, the most important and orthodox one, which cannot be learned by non-direct descendants of the sect, is the formation inheritance, which is the inheritance I taught your senior brother and sister..."

"This inheritance is called -"

Mr. Zhuang looked solemn and said word by word: "Xian Tian Formation Flow!"

Mo Hua was surprised, "Innate Formation?"

Mr. Zhuang shook his head, "It's not innate..."

He took out his pen and wrote the word "immortal" on the paper, "It's Immortal Heaven."

Fairyland...

Mo Hua was a little unbelievable, "The 'immortal' who became an immortal?"

Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly, "This inheritance is top secret. Outsiders have only heard about it, but have never seen the handwriting of the inheritance, so they always thought that this inheritance was the 'Innate Array', but its real name is "Xiantian" Array"!"

"The flow of the Immortal Formation is the source of the Immortal Formation."

"Since the creation of heaven and earth, immortals have gained the Tao, carved the Tao Yun, and formed the formations of the heavens. Then all the formations in the world are derived from the Tao and return to the Tao, and they all have a unified origin."

"The innate formation flow is the summary, the source of all formations in the world."

"Know one thing to know all things, learn one thing to know ten thousand things, and ten thousand formations will be unified."

"After learning the immortal formation flow, you can understand the origins of most formations in the world. If you learn the formations again, you will get twice the result with half the effort. You can even overcome the obstacles of spiritual consciousness and understand some. The demand for spiritual consciousness is extremely high and difficult. A huge formation..."

Mo Hua opened his mouth wide.

This is not inheritance at all, it is just like a cheating device given by Heaven.

"Of course," Mr. Zhuang added, "the innate formation flow and the gong involved in creation are extremely powerful, but they are also extremely difficult to learn, and the requirements for understanding and ability are extremely high."

"Your senior brothers and sisters can learn this inheritance, but you can't learn it."

"Is it because my spiritual roots are poor?" Mo Hua asked doubtfully.

"Yes, but not entirely." Mr. Zhuang said, "If you have poor spiritual roots, at most you won't be able to learn well, but it won't mean that you can't learn. And you can't learn!"

Mo Hua was startled.

Mr. Zhuang's eyes were obscure and he warned again: "Remember, you must not learn!"

"This inheritance involves too much cause and effect. You can't touch it. At least with your current cultivation level, you can't touch it. Even if one day you reach the level of foundation building and golden elixir, you can't touch this cause and effect!"

You can't even touch the golden elixir...

Mo Hua's eyes were stern and he nodded solemnly:

"Master, I remember!"

Mr. Zhuang looked into Mo Hua's eyes and made sure that he had indeed listened and remembered it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"There is another reason..."

Mr. Zhuang continued, "You can't learn Immortal Formation Style, or rather... you don't need to learn it."

Now Mo Hua really doesn't understand.

Mr. Zhuang sighed:

"The origin of the Immortal Formation, thousands of formations are united into one, one can understand everything, and the power is taken into account by creation, one can understand the origin of the thousands of formations and all the ways in the world..."

"These words are also passed down from our ancestors..."

Mo Hua's eyes lit up and he understood: "My ancestors can lie!"

Mr. Zhuang looked pleased, nodded and said:

"This sentence was passed down from the ancestors of the sect, but it is not clear whether it is true or not. How much is true and how much is false."

"From the current point of view, the Immortal Formation Flow can indeed enhance the understanding of formations. It can be used to understand everything. This is what our ancestors said."

"But in the future, we don't know what it will be like when we practice to the depths and realize the heights."

"Furthermore, even if the Immortal Formation Stream includes the origins of the world's formations, in the final analysis, it is still the 'Tao' summarized by others."

"It's just that this 'person' might be an 'immortal'."

"It's hard to say whether or not he is an immortal or what kind of immortal he is..."

Mr. Zhuang looked at the ink painting with expectation:

"Zi Sheng and Zi Xi, they want to learn the Immortal Formation Style and understand the formations because they have enough basic skills but lack of spiritual awareness, so they must use this method to learn advanced formations."

"But you are different..."

"Your consciousness is stronger than anyone else's."

"You can absolutely rely on your own spiritual knowledge to learn, practice and understand by yourself. Even if it is more difficult and bumpy, it will take more time and energy, but what you get out of it is your own thing. The understanding will be deeper.”

"Don't be preconceived and learn the Immortal Formation Style."

"Don't rush to understand the origins of thousands of formations in the world without learning the formations of the heavens."

"Otherwise, the understanding of all formations is just a castle in the air, and the source you think you see may not be the real source."

"You have to learn, learn your own formation, and follow your own path..."

walk my own path……

The ink paintings are like enlightenment, with bright eyes.

He didn't say anything, but silently saluted Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang looked pleased and felt a little emotional in his heart.

In this life, I finally have a good apprentice...

Even if half of my life is rough and the rest of my life is wandering, God has treated me well...

The past flashes in my mind.

All sorts of mixed emotions.

Mr. Zhuang sighed and looked at the ink paintings, his mood gradually relaxed.

…

The next day, Mr. Zhuang took Mo Hua and three others to the Zangzhen Pavilion.

At this time, there were not that many people in the Zangzhen Pavilion.

The huge Zangzhen Pavilion is deserted and solemn.

Among the carved beams and painted buildings, countless books and catalogs on formations are displayed, which look rigorous and beautiful.

The only people who received the Master and Disciple of Mo Hua were the Grand Elder of Five Elements Sect and Headmaster Liao.

The great elder looked unhappy.

It seems that yesterday's scene is still vivid in my mind.

Even in his dreams, he could hear Mo Hua asking: "What else?", "Who else?"...

The elder's eyelids twitched.

Although this little formation master looks innocent, he is actually a real formation monster!

He is a "small version" of Mr. Zhuang.

Even more hateful than Mr. Zhuang.

The great elder was very sad.

The Five Elements Sect lost, and the core inheritance of the Five Elements Sect will be taught by others today.

Although the Five Elements Spiritual Formation of Grade One and Thirteen Patterns is difficult to learn.

But facing Mr. Zhuang and the unpredictable little formation master Mo Hua, the elder didn't feel confident, so his face was pale with a hint of uneasiness.

Leader Liao on the side looked like nothing was wrong.

It seemed that it didn't matter to him whether the Five Elements Sect's ultimate formation could be learned or not.

After everyone gathered, Boss Dachang said reluctantly to Mr. Zhuang with a face on his face:

"please."

Mr. Zhuang nodded lightly.

The group of people walked along the stairs to the attic of the Tibetan Formation.

The Five Elements Sect’s Hidden Formation Pavilion has four floors.

The first floor is spacious, with a main hall, desks, and bookcases. It is mainly used to store first-grade formations, as well as for disciples to borrow, study, and understand the formation books and diagrams, as well as for gatherings to discuss Taoism.

The second floor is smaller. Although it is not luxurious, it is more primitive. It is mainly used to collect the second-level formation diagrams and is generally not open to the public.

The third floor is smaller and is used to store third-grade formations.

The furnishings are a bit old and even shabby, but its atmosphere is long-standing and profound, making it more awe-inspiring than the flashy main hall on the first floor.

Third level formation!

Mo Hua smacked his lips.

The foundation of the Five Elements Sect is indeed profound.

I haven't seen many second-grade formations now, let alone third-grade formations.

He really wanted to look through the third-level formation map to see what the third-level formation looked like.

How many formation patterns are there, how the formation hub flows, how the formation eyes are constructed, how to learn it, and what kind of effects it will have...

Unfortunately, Mo Hua knew that the great elder of the Five Elements Sect was an iron rooster.

With his implacable temperament, he was definitely not willing to let himself browse through the third-grade formations in the Hidden Formation Pavilion.

As expected, let alone reading, I didn’t even want to wait.

The great elder led Mo Hua and others along the stairs densely covered with formations, unlocked them with the elder's order, and walked up to the second floor, past the third floor, and finally to the fourth floor.

One level on the first floor, two levels on the second floor, and three levels on the third floor.

The Five Elements Sect should not have a fourth-level inheritance, so what should be hidden on this fourth floor is a set of five ultimate formations from the Five Elements Sect - the Five Elements Spiritual Formation.

Mo Hua was behind Mr. Zhuang, secretly sticking his little head out and looking around.

The fourth floor of the Five Elements Sect is even smaller.

The surrounding furnishings are simpler, all with wooden beam windows.

There is a shrine in the middle.

Under the shrine, there are five futons.

There are formations painted on the walls and floors, but this formation has hidden formation patterns, and its aura is profound and obscure, at least second grade, maybe even third grade...

Even if it's a fourth grade, Mo Hua doesn't doubt it.

Mo Hua also had a sense of awe for the Five Elements Sect.

Although the current Five Elements Sect, stripped of its magnificent outer skin, is just a puddle of mud that cannot hold up the wall.

But the inheritance from its ancestors is indeed extremely profound.

On the fourth floor of the Hidden Formation Pavilion, even if it is just made of ordinary wood as the formation matchmaker, the formations set up are awe-inspiring and cannot be underestimated.

The Great Elder was also a little sad. After a while, he calmed down and said to Mo Hua and others:

"The Five Elements Spiritual Array is hidden in this shrine."

"Sit on the futon and visualize the shrine. If you have enough understanding, you can see the diagram of the Five Elements Spiritual Array."

Visualize?

Mo Hua was slightly startled and couldn't help but look at the niche.

So this shrine is an alternative visualization diagram?

If you visualize the shrine and have enough understanding, you can learn the Five Elements Spirit Formation?

It shouldn't be that simple...

Mo Hua secretly glanced at the Great Elder, and sure enough, he saw a hint of joking and cunning flashing through the Great Elder's eyes.

Not just Iron Rooster.

Still an old fox...

Mo Hua muttered in his heart.
