Peerless Martial God

Huamei Building, the seventh floor.

"Sister Peony, I want you to teach me the formation!" Jiang Zhen said.

"Yes!" Peony nodded, agreeing quickly.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Jiang Zhen asked tentatively.

"I want you to say something to your mother!" Peony said with her lips slightly parted.

Hearing this, Jiang Zhen's right eyelid twitched, and suddenly had a bad premonition, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Bitch, your son is not good enough for me!" Mudan leaned on the table with both hands, approached Jiang Zhen, and roared.

Jiang Zhen: "..."

Jiang Zhen was sprayed with saliva all over his face, and his ears were also ringing for a long time.

The woman roared, much stronger than the man!

Sure enough, as soon as I said something, I knew it was not a good thing, because Jiang Feng also asked him to talk before, saying: 'Bitch, you are not worthy of my son! '

I said, what's the matter with you? I'm my mother's son. Do you think I'm stupid, or do you think I'm stupid when you ask me to bring such words to her?

Might I bring such words to her? Don't even think about it!

Also, what do you mean by that? Does that mean I'm not good enough for you?

I, Jiang Zhen, am extremely talented and handsome, am I not good enough for you? joke!

"Okay, when I see her in the future, I will bring you the message." Jiang Zhen responded to Mudan.

"So, very good." Peony stood up and said, "Stand up, I will teach you how to arrange the formation."

Peony walked to the window, opened it, looked at the sky, and said, "Jiang Zhen, how much do you know about the formation?"

Jiang Zhen pondered for a while, and said: "I have a little understanding of the superficial, such as the power of the sky, the terrain, the human situation, as well as the formation flags, formation diagrams, inscriptions, talisman pens, and spirit stones. I have all the basic formation knowledge. Understood."

After listening to Jiang Zhen's words, Mudan nodded, and said very relievedly: "Yeah, it seems that you still have a little understanding of formations, which is very good, so I won't be too troublesome to teach you."

"Actually, the power of the sky and the terrain are like formations formed naturally. They are the most terrifying natural formations, which are difficult for people to control; while human power is an artificial formation that gathers human power, or it is similar to the belief of Nianmen. It is too difficult to collect and condense people's thoughts."

"In layman's terms, we call formation formations, but they are actually personal formations artificially arranged by formation masters. They are created with formation flags, formation diagrams, inscriptions, talisman pens, and spirit stones. There are strong and weak ones, and there are many ways to use them. There are also many categories, roughly divided into attack and defense formations."

"I can only talk to you about the concepts of heavenly power, terrain, and human power, but I can't teach you how to borrow them, because I can't borrow those three powers. After that, I'll teach you how to arrange some simple formations and it's over. As for the truly powerful formation, you need to explore it yourself, because I don’t know how to do it either.”

"It's up to the master to lead the door and practice on the individual, do you understand?"

Jiang Zhen nodded, and understood what Mudan said very well. The power of the sky, the power of the earth, and the power of the people, these three powers are too difficult to borrow, and they cannot be controlled by ordinary array mages. Most array mages can only get a general understanding of them. theoretical knowledge.

Beginners of formation generally start with the basic formation, and then gradually increase the difficulty. Without the guidance of a famous teacher, they can only figure out how to construct the formation by themselves, which is the easiest, labor-saving and fast.

As the saying goes, a famous teacher produces a high-level apprentice; a poor master leads in.

"Jiang Zhen, what do you think of the power of the sky and the terrain?" Mudan pointed to the sky with a somewhat illusory gaze.

"The power of the sky and the terrain may also be man-made~" Jiang Zhen replied after thinking for a while.

"Oh? Tell me your opinion." Mudan signaled Jiang Zhen to speak more carefully.

Jiang Zhen paused, and continued: "Well...you also said just now that the power of the sky and the terrain are natural formations. The sun, moon, and stars have their own orbits, which are so orderly. We call these The laws of heaven and earth, like our formation inscriptions, stipulate how the formation works."

"We can form our own formations with formation flags, formation diagrams, inscriptions, talisman pens, and spirit stones.

Create a small formation world, which is very similar to the normal world. In this case, is it conceivable that our world is also a huge formation, operating according to the inscriptions inscribed by certain existences? "

"Yeah, what you said is somewhat reasonable, but you are inferring the origin from the result." Mudan said, "Our formation is created by imitating the nature of heaven and earth, and the formation flag represents the boundary of the world. Represents the shape of the world, inscriptions represent the rules of the world, talismans represent changes in the rules of the world, and spirit stones represent the energy of the world."

"You can't think that the formations are created by humans, but you can speculate that the heaven and the earth are also created by 'humans', because the formations imitate the nature of the heavens and the earth, understand? You take the 'man-made formations' as the premise, and it is also artificial to obtain the heavens and the earth." The conclusion of creation, this will not work!"

Jiang Zhen was a little confused when he heard it, and vaguely understood the meaning of Mudan's words, but it was very vague, half-understood, and confused.

Seeing Jiang Zhen's expression, Mudan smiled, and continued to explain: "To put it bluntly, you imitate others, and then maliciously speculate that others may also imitate others, and he himself is not original, so Say, do you understand?"

"So, I seem to understand a little bit." Jiang Zhen woke up and realized that the formation master borrowed from the heaven and the earth to create the formation, but this does not mean that the heaven and the earth were also created by others, it may be innate.

However, it is also possible that it was created by a 'human'. Mudan did not deny this, but only said that Jiang Zhen's conclusion did not have sufficient conditions.

"It can be seen that you still have doubts. How about I ask you a question, which came first, the chicken or the egg?" Peony continued to guide Jiang Zhendao.

Jiang Zhen shook his head and said: "I don't know, the two seem to be interdependent. Without chickens, there will be no eggs; without eggs, there will be no chickens."

"Who comes first, it's hard to say, it's hard to tell."

"As far as a single individual is concerned, there are eggs first and then chickens, and a chicken slowly hatches from an egg to a chicken."

"As far as a population is concerned, chickens and eggs have always existed, there is no sequence relationship, they are just a link in the continuation of the population."

"But from the perspective of the whole world, it may be that a certain population has evolved or mutated, produced the first egg, and then hatched into a chicken, producing a new species of chicken, which shows that there are eggs before chickens."

Jiang Zhen said a lot in one breath, and his thoughts were a bit complicated and chaotic, without a final result.

"Now, do you understand?" Peony asked, looking straight into Jiang Zhen's eyes, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Although this question is very interesting, it is actually meaningless."

"You can't explain it clearly, and you can't explain it clearly."

"Similarly, we don't know whether this world is naturally generated or artificially created. All ideas are just guesses."

"We are still too weak. For many things, we just need to learn how to use them. Don't delve too deeply into them. When you reach a certain level, you will naturally be clear about those profound issues."

"If one day you can transcend the world, maybe you will be able to understand how the world was created."

Jiang Zhen nodded, getting rid of all the messy thoughts in his mind, the current him only needs to become stronger!

"Okay, let's move on to the next question, what do you think of human power?" Mudan asked.

Jiang Zhen organized his language, and said: "Human power, I think it is a kind of concerted effort of a group, bringing together the strength of most people to form a joint force, so as to bombard and kill the enemy."

"My cousin Jiang Kaiyu is an inner disciple of Nianmen. I have fought with him twice. He collected the power of faith from ten thousand people and formed his own vow. His vow is very difficult to break, just like It is as intelligent as it is, it will automatically protect the Lord, and its attack power is also very strong, the more beliefs, the stronger the power of vows."

"Hmm, about human power, it's enough to understand it here, you can take it as the power of Nianmen, because Nianmen is to collect the power of people's beliefs, and gather the power of the majority into a few of them. "Peony looked at Jiang Zhendao with relief, this child is not bad, she reminded him earlier, he can think for himself.

Jiang Zhen nodded, waiting for Peony to really teach him how to arrange the formation.

"Next, watch carefully as I set up a small hiding formation." Mudan looked at Jiang Zhen and said seriously, "I'll only demonstrate it once, and you must concentrate on watching."

"Okay~" Jiang Zhen said.

Peony nodded, and stretched out her hand to make a move. Ten formation flags, a low-grade spirit stone, and a talisman brush floated in front of her. Immediately, the formation flags were arranged on the ground in the shape of a five-pointed star under the control of Peony's soul power. , the low-grade spirit stone fell into the middle, and Peony was holding a talisman pen, connecting the array flags together, and engraved a five-pointed star inscription in the middle.

"Jiang Zhen, why can you see other people?" Mudan asked.

Jiang Zhen frowned, began to think about this question, and replied, "Is it because of the light? You can see people during the day, but you can't see them at night."

"This answer is also correct, but it's not specific enough." Mudan said, "The reason why a person can be seen is because he blocks the light, and the light refracts his outline. Can you understand that?"

Jiang Zhen thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes~"

"So how, can a person block the light of an object and become invisible?" Peony guided.

"If you don't block the light, you will be invisible." Jiang Zhen said.

Jiang Zhen thought for a while and asked, "But, how can we not block the light?"

"Let the light go around, or directly let the light penetrate your body without turning back, that's fine." Mudan said.

After finishing speaking, the talisman pen in his hand finished outlining the last paragraph of inscription, and immediately there was a flash of white light, and the formation flag and spirit stones all disappeared.

"Whoosh~"

Peony stretched out her hand to call for a teacup, and put it in the place within the array flag just now. Her hand gradually disappeared, and the teacup also gradually disappeared, but her hand was still visible outside the array flag.

"Look carefully~" Peony reminded, and immediately took out the spirit stone, and saw the light gradually shining on the flag and the teacup, and then she put the spirit stone back, and the teacup and flag also disappeared. Here, on the surface, it seems that the light is distorted, and it does not reflect back, but continues to move forward along the periphery of the flag.

But in fact, the light is still direct, but the space around the banner...is distorted, and the light continues to shine directly along the distorted space.

"Hiding the formation is to distort the surrounding space, and let the light go around the object along the distorted space, isn't it?" Jiang Zhen asked.

"Correct answer!" Peony smiled, "He's quite flexible, not bad, not bad!"

Jiang Zhen smiled and said nothing, without pride.

"Okay, you understand the principle, and I'll tell you about the actual operation later." Mudan said.

"Spiritual stones are the energy source of the formation. Without external force to destroy the formation, how long the formation can last depends on how long it can supply energy. Spiritual stones are divided into low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, top-grade, and god-level. , the more advanced the spirit stone, the longer it will last."

"If you want to set up a formation, you first need to buy spirit stones. A low-grade spirit stone costs about 10,000 gold coins, a medium-grade spirit stone costs 100,000 gold coins, a top-grade spirit stone costs a million, and a top-grade spirit stone costs tens of millions."

"God-level spirit stone, 100 million gold coins?" Jiang Zhen asked in surprise, his throat rolling.

Peony gave Jiang Zhen a blank look, and said, "What are you thinking about? Top-grade and top-grade spirit stones are already priceless, and god-level spirit stones are only available to gods. Buy them? Don't even think about it. You can't buy them. .”

Jiang Zhen's face was full of black lines, he had nothing to say.

"By the way, how did the spirit stone come from? Is it a kind of ore? Someone needs to mine it?" Jiang Zhen asked.

Peony nodded, and introduced: "It's a kind of ore, but it's all in some famous mountains and rivers, because those places are rich in spiritual energy, which can breed spiritual stones in the mountains, but you know, those places are mostly powerful monsters. , monsters, we humans want to mine spirit stones, it is very difficult."

"So, there are very few spirit stones in our human world, and you can't see them in ordinary towns. Wujia Town is one of them, and there are so many magical beasts and monster spirit stones, but there are only some soul talents among them. Only extremely strong monsters and monsters can become formation masters and use spirit stones, and most of them just use spirit stones as decorations for fun."

"The grading of spirit stones is mainly based on the amount and quality of the spiritual energy contained in them. Low-grade spirit stones have less spirit energy and more impurities, while god-level spirit stones have rich spirit energy and high purity, and god-level spirit stones also have a A very important feature is that it contains evil spirits, and if you wear it on your body for a long time, it will affect a person's sanity, and even make people fall into madness."

"Why is that?" Jiang Zhen asked puzzled, "God-level spirit stones are full of aura, wouldn't people be full of energy if they carry them?"

"I don't know. It is said that only gods can suppress the evil spirit of a god-level spirit stone, and this is the reason why a god-level spirit stone is called a god-level spirit stone."

"Okay!" Jiang Zhen accepted, and immediately his eyes lit up, and he asked, "By the way, Sister Mudan, can we warriors also absorb the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone for cultivation?"

"Of course, otherwise, why do you think those god sons, goddesses, and young people from big families practice so much faster than you small town warriors? Isn't it because they cultivate by absorbing the spiritual energy in the spirit stone, which is abundant and endless? Constantly, unlike you, you need to extract the discrete aura between heaven and earth, which takes time and effort." Peony sneered.

"The strong are all piled up with resources, and there are very few people with real talents, you know?"

"This world is cruel. The strong occupy more resources and become stronger, while the weak become weaker."

Jiang Zhen agrees with what Mudan said. Bai Ying once told him that the strong need the guidance of famous teachers and the assistance of heavenly talents and rare treasures. Otherwise, relying on their own talent alone, they can only quickly cultivate to the Zhoutian Realm, and then the cultivation speed will be slow.

"Okay, that's all for Lingshi, let's talk about the formation flag now." Mudan said, "The formation flag, on the one hand, is to determine the boundary of the formation, and on the other hand, it is to guide the flow of spiritual energy, so as to maximize the effectiveness of the inscription."

"The position of each array flag is different, the boundary is different, and the direction of the spiritual flow is also different. Their positions need to be changed according to the inscription you engraved."

"The attacking formation has a large boundary, the speed of the spirit flow is fast, and the direction is also striving to be all-round, so the number of formation flags required is also greater."

"The array flags themselves also have different sizes, and the shapes of the flags are also different. In short, the deep meaning needs to be carefully understood when you arrange the arrays every day."

"Understood, I will slowly understand during the practice." Jiang Zhendao understood the meaning of Peony's words very well. Many things need to be practiced by themselves, otherwise they would not know what is the use of it, and why it was designed like that.

"Yeah, just understand." Mudan smiled, very satisfied with Jiang Zhen's attitude.

"The third is the inscription. This is the core knowledge of the formation. The reason why the formation has various functions is because of the inscription." Peony became serious and said, "What I drew with a talisman just now is A rune that distorts space, can make light go around and hide objects, so this formation is also hidden."

"The inscriptions have been handed down from countless generations of formation masters. They are their life-long painstaking efforts. Most of the formation inscriptions can be found in the formation association. You can learn from them freely."

"Of course, there are also many inscriptions that have not been handed down, or are only handed down within the family. Outsiders don't know how to draw those inscriptions."

"Most of the terrifying inscriptions are in the top formation families, but the formation association has also collected a lot of powerful inscriptions, which is not bad compared with them. After all, the formation association has the most talents, and it has almost gathered The formation master of the entire Chaoxi Continent."

"Sister Peony, are you also a member of the Formation Association?" Jiang Zhen asked.

"That's right, I belong to the formation association of the water god city." Mudan said, "every god city has a formation association, and in the center of Chaoxi Continent, there is the formation association of the city of gods, and there is the real formation association , is where the stars shine.”

Speaking of this, Peony showed hope, and it was obvious that she really wanted to go there and experience it.

After a long time, Peony recovered from the beauty of her imagination, and said, "Okay, without further ado, let me teach you how to draw the inscription of this hiding formation."

"Huh? Isn't there still a map that hasn't been explained?" Jiang Zhen asked in confusion.

"Array?" Peony was taken aback, then laughed, "The array is too advanced, it's just a miniature version of the world, if you don't have access to it for the time being, I won't talk about it."

"Tell me!" Jiang Zhen said.

"Get lost, old lady, I haven't seen the formation diagram, and I'm going to tell you the formation diagram, what should I say?" Mudan suddenly roared.

Jiang Zhen: "..."

I don't ask, I don't ask anymore.

Woman, get angry, it's horrible!

"Here, this is a talisman for you, you draw the inscription with me." Mudan gave Jiang Zhen a talisman and said.

"Okay!" Jiang Zhen said reassuringly.
