In the days of cultivation, time always flies very fast.
After a heavy rain at the end of summer, autumn came silently.
In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
In the past six months, Tang Jie followed Xu Muyang to wash his veins and practice, and his life was fulfilling.
In the yard today, Tang Jie was punching.
At the moment, he was hitting a set of thong-arm punches, which Xu Muyang taught him, and used it to clean up the meridians with the Tibetan Elephant Sutra.
At this moment, he was violent, and there was a flow of spirit flowing through his body from time to time, and every time the flow of spirit flowing through his body, it gave Tang Jie a very comfortable feeling, and at the same time made his body stronger and stronger.
Xu Muyang said that this was a sign that his meridians had not yet expanded to the limit.
After a punch, Tang Jie felt the aura in his body disappear little by little, and he felt unwilling to give up.
Normally, he can continue to practice again, but Xu Muyang said that the practice is not as diligent as possible. Too strong and domineering training methods can lead to overdraft of the human body's potential, and may even hurt itself and leave hidden dangers. The proper combination of work and rest is the best.
So he can only stop now, but he couldn't help sighing and said, "I don't know when this day is a head."
"Why? Can't wait?" Xu Muyang in the pavilion was drawing on paper with a pen, but he painted some strange formations. At this moment, Tang Jie said with a smile: "Yes. For you, the days of washing the veins and laying the foundation may be boring, but you know how many practitioners are hoping that God will give him a chance to come back."
"Big Brother Xu taught that." Tang Jie answered hurriedly.
Thinking back to the school days, I don’t know how many students yearn to go to society earlier and get out of the prison-like days of school. Only after a tumultuous trip in society and a bloody blow do you recall the beauty of school life.
Tang Jie is a person who has experienced a lifetime. Although that lifetime did not bring him any powerful golden fingers, it gave him a rich knowledge of life, and made his thinking early free from the shackles of age, knowing what is the most important thing. of. The sigh just now was just a momentary expression of helplessness. It really made him give up laying the foundation and practice directly, so he didn't do it.
Xu Muyang had seen many immortal cultivators before, and couldn't bear to be lonely and boring.
In the world of cultivating immortals, there are not many cultivators who practice immortality without a solid foundation. The real ones are those who don’t care about their bodies in order to achieve early success, and they don’t hesitate to pull the seedlings and encourage them with a trace of luck.
Therefore, he admired Tang Jie's calmness extremely.
At this moment, he smiled and said: "After finishing the boxing, let's learn today's formation."
Tang Jie couldn't help but smile.
Formation Dao, like medical skills, is also a knowledge in which the reserves of knowledge are greater than the reserves of technology, and because of this, there is no need for restraint.
In the past six months, Tang Jie's Tibetan Elephant Sutra has only been practiced twice a day, and the sum of it is only half an hour, and most of the time is spent learning the formation.
Sometimes Tang Jie would wonder whether Xu Muyang deliberately used this method to transfer his interests or hobbies
Compared with the slow progress of pulse washing, Tang Jie's learning of formations can be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds.
This is not entirely because he has a good foundation in mathematics.
The formation itself is all-encompassing, easy to reason, number, geography, and weather. Considering the existence of some ancient formations, even adding history and humanities, the number is only one part of it.
The key is his adult thinking, which makes him learn much faster than the average twelve-year-old. It is often said that children have strong learning ability, but the strong learning ability of children means that they have been imitating, and the tolerance of knowledge is far inferior to that of adults.
What a primary school student learns in a year is not as large as what a high school student learns in a month.
Therefore, Tang Jie’s learning on the Array Dao can be described as rapid, and the memory ability and skills brought by the exam-oriented education have laid a good foundation for him. In only half a year, Tang Jie almost mastered all the basic knowledge needed for the Array Dao. Xu Muyang also praised it.
At this moment, Xu Muyang shook his hand, and the previously painted array of runes had flown into Tang Jie's hands: "Let's arrange the array according to this picture."
"Spirit measurement array?" Tang Jie glanced at the array map, and now he can clearly distinguish the function of each array map. This psychic array is used to test the aura of the surrounding heaven and earth, and it is convenient for the cultivator to find a place with abundant spiritual qi to practice. It is also one of the simplest arrays.
Normally, the cultivator himself can also hope for the Qi technique, but the formation method is in harmony with the heaven and the earth, and the effect is much stronger than the Wang Qi technique.
"Yes, this time you must set up a complete and usable Spirit Measuring Array, and the range must reach three miles."
"Understood." Tang Jie replied sternly, and when he raised his hand, a spiritual light had been shot out of his hand, converged into a spiritual line in the air, and fell on the ground.
His jade gate is open, he can breathe out aura, but his eyes are still unopened, and he can’t store it. Therefore, as long as he draws the aura and uses it before it dissipates, he can still use it to set up a spiritual formation. It’s just such an array The technique is extremely incoherent, cannot be done in one go, the effect is limited, the efficiency is horribly low, and its performance is basically the same as that of children's depiction.
At this moment, Tang Jie made a line-by-stroke, Xu Muyang was observing from the side, giving him some pointers from time to time.
After setting up for a whole hour, and finally drawing the formation, Tang Jie input an aura to activate it, and saw a wave of strange clouds appear in the formation.
"Success!" Tang Jie exclaimed with joy.
The presence of air pillars means that the formation has been successful. Those air pillars represent the aura around them. The array pattern has scales. Different scales represent different positions. The air pillars are large and small, and the color is also different. The difference represents the difference in the content of aura.
This is the first time he has set up an array, with a range of only three miles. If Xu Muyang personally does it, he can complete it within a short time, and the range of his spiritual measurement is even more than 10,000 miles.
At this moment, Tang Jie watched the plume of air rising in the formation, and he felt very happy. When he thought of the results of half a year of hard cultivation, he couldn’t help but appreciate Xu Muyang from the bottom of his heart. It even made him feel wasted. Time's formation is no longer so obtrusive, but on the contrary, it feels quite desirable.
Many things, after all, only after enjoying their achievements, will you really love them.
Xu Muyang is also very satisfied with this: "The connection of the formation pattern still has great flaws. The formation pattern is a place where the aura passes, and it is not necessary to draw the formation pattern. You also need to clear the formation pattern so that the aura can pass through. Look at this pattern. You paint it twice before and after, and there are broken marks in the middle. On the surface, they are connected as a whole. In fact, there is only a trace of aura that can pass. The pattern is not a drawing, not a neat pattern. Yes, what is really important is the inside. Look here, here and here... Of course there are reasons why your aura is not enough to support the continuous formation, but there are also reasons for the unfamiliar techniques."
"Well, I understand. It means that the road needs to be dredged. No matter how wide the road is, it will still be blocked if it is not well dredged. Sometimes a break will cause the entire road to be paralyzed."
"Yes. Another thing is that you are too superficial in terms of ease of reasoning. The Spirit Measuring Array is an array for observing aura. Since it is an observation array, you should strengthen the operation of the Ganmen. The Ganmen is the sky, sit at the center of the square, listen to all directions. Therefore, the Spirit Test Array should focus on Qianmen. What are you going to do to strengthen Xunmen?"
Tang Jie scratched his head embarrassedly: "The Sunda Gate is windy, light and agile, and the main change and distance. I think you require this Spirit Measuring Array to be able to observe three miles away, so just..."
"Leave the original and seek the end!" Xu Muyang has been rudely criticized: "What you have to do is to set up the test spirit array, not simply to meet my requirements!"
"Yes, I understand." Tang Jie replied sternly.
Xiuxian is not an exam-oriented education. Tang Jie benefited from previous life experience while also being subject to previous life thinking. Fortunately, Xu Muyang pointed it out in time and made him understand his mistake.
At this moment, Xu Muyang continued to explain to him the shortcomings of this formation. When it came to the rise, he shot out the spiritual line between his fingers to repair the spiritual measurement formation for Tang Jie, and under his repair, the measurement spiritual formation changed. It is getting bigger and bigger, and the radiation range is getting wider and wider. Not only are the clouds and mists churning like a sea, but even the undulating mountains are faintly visible, it seems that the whole world is included in a burst, and everything is under control.
In Xu Muyang’s hands, this Spirit Measuring Array turned out to be a reflection of the real world. Tang Jie was shocked to see Tang Jie, but Xu Muyang was eager to say: "The formations are connected. Many times it may just be With a small change, the formation is completely different. When the Spirit Test Array is raised to the extreme, it can also reflect the world and become a great array. Not only the Spirit Array, other formations are also possible. Combinations, changes, and improvements. , It is extremely complex and infinite in mystery. You may not be able to study it completely after a lifetime. Do you still want to say that you are not interested in it?"
Tang Jie smiled: "I know I was wrong, I will definitely study hard and improve every day!"
Xu Muyang was amused by him, as he was about to say something, suddenly there was a flash of purple light.
Xu Muyang was stunned and looked into the formation, only to see that there was a faint flash of brilliant light in the formation.
"The purple energy rushes into the sky?" Xu Muyang blurted out, his complexion changed abruptly.
"The purple energy rushes into the sky? What is that?" After all, Tang Jie had a short time in cultivating immortals, and he didn't understand the meaning.
Xu Muyang didn't speak, he was actually lost in thought.
"What's wrong? Brother Xu." Tang Jie asked with concern, seeing that Xu Muyang's expression was wrong.
Xu Muyang groaned for a while, and suddenly chuckled: "It's nothing, you don't need to ask about this. Oh, yes, you and I have been together for half a year, but it seems that I haven't had a bar together yet? The first success of the formation is also to celebrate. Let’s go out and buy some wine and vegetables. Today, our brothers will be here as a song to the moon. Let’s have a cup of it. Oh, by the way, to Old Chen Remember the duck in sauce."
"But Chen Ji is in Anyang Mansion." Tang Jie replied with some embarrassment.
"What's the matter?" Xu Muyang replied with a casual wave of his hand.
"It's getting late, it's not suitable to go to Anyang Mansion now, and Chen Ji's ducks have always been sold very well, usually they can't be sold at night."
Xu Muyang's complexion was stagnant, and Tang Jie said, "But there is still aging in the kitchen, which was left by the owner of this house earlier. In addition, there are two chickens in the backyard. If Brother Xu wants to eat, I will go here. Slaughtered and served Big Brother Xu."
Without waiting for Xu Muyang to speak, he hurried to the kitchen.
Xu Muyang frowned, did not say anything after all, looked at the purple energy in the burst, but sighed helplessly.
Tang Jie's hands and feet were quick, half an hour later, dinner was ready.
At this time, the sky was dark, and the moon was hanging away.
Xu Muyang and Tang Jie sat opposite each other in the small pavilion, while drinking rice wine with Bai Zhanji.
The moonlight is very beautiful, Xu Muyang stared at the sky blankly, the golden haze was shining, and the moonlight turned into a colorful light, falling on this courtyard, bringing up a golden night.
"This sunset...It's so beautiful!" Xu Muyang said suddenly.
"Hmm." Tang Jie looked at Xu Muyang with a weird expression, and didn't dare to take any words at will.
Xu Muyang said to himself: "This sunset is the glorious afterglow of the golden flames of the wind. It protects us from the invasion of foreign enemies, protects the Qixia realm, and keeps its aura running endlessly. Yi, but it is also our shackles, the shackles of the Qixia people, so that we can't easily leave this realm... Star Luo Daqian realm, I really want to go out and have a look."
Xingluo Great Thousand Realms is the collective term for the world outside Qixia Realm by those immortals who have gained the path to ascend. It is said that there are countless large and small worlds outside Qixia Realm.
If Qixia Realm is the earth, then Xingluo Daqian Realm is undoubtedly the universe.
It's a pity that it is not an easy task to leave Qixia Realm. The golden flames of wind shrouded in the sky are like a natural barrier, even the spiritual energy can't escape, ordinary cultivators will be burned to ashes even if they just approach it. Only the real immortals who set foot on Sendai can fly out of the bounds against the golden flames of wind and enjoy nine days at ease.
Some people say that this is a self-protection measure of the Qixia Realm. Because of the golden flames and wind, most of the immortal cultivators are forced to return to the local market. The spiritual energy stolen from the heavens and the earth also returns to the heavens and the earth, making it possible to cycle back and forth. , Endless life.
If there is no golden flames and wind, the cultivator will leave at will, and the days will run out of spiritual energy.
For this reason, in the eyes of some extreme people, every immortal who soars away is also a sinner who steals spiritual energy and does not return it.
Fortunately, there are very few people who can ascend, and the real aura that Qixia Realm has lost is only a drop in the bucket.
At this moment, Xu Muyang suddenly mentioned Xingluo Great Thousand Realm, and Tang Jie was also somewhat unsure.
Xu Muyang had already drunk a toast and filled himself with wine, saying in a self-talking way: "When I was a child, my father disciplined me very strictly. I either practiced every day or learned how to manage the family. I was born with a rebellious nature and always looked for All kinds of opportunities to sneak out to play. Every time I was caught by my father, it was a good meal. At that time, my second sister was guarding me. I remember one time, I sneaked out to play, and I was naughty, and even burned the small attic at home. It’s been a while. It was the second sister who stood up and said that she burned it. Unfortunately, my father was not confused, but he found me the real murderer... It hurts that the board fell."
Tang Jie listened silently without speaking.
Xu Muyang still said to himself: "So I started planning to escape, wanting to escape from the Xu family. Unfortunately, I ran three times and were all caught back. In one of them, I even ran out of Moqiu, but was still caught by my father. Here, it was another beating."
Speaking of this, Xu Muyang laughed lowly: "Later I learned that I had the blood of the Xu family in my body. When I was born, this blood was recorded in the ancestral hall and left the life lamp. No matter what. Wherever I go, through the Light of Life, people from the Xu family can find me, unless I can escape from Qixia Realm and enter the Star Luo Great Thousand Realm. So from then on, I imagined that one day I would leave this place. The world. Of course, it was just a wishful thinking at the time. Later I realized how difficult it is to become an immortal. As one of the four big families, my Xu family can't even get out of the Purple Mansion. I want to escape from this world. , I can only think of other ways. That is to say, since then, I have started to study the Dao of Array... The Dao of Array can be divided into prisons at the highest depths, and become a world on its own. This Qixia Realm is like a cage of heaven and earth, which is itself. It can be regarded as a natural and magnificent array of heaven and earth. I broke the formation with one heart and concentrated on the formation. As the days are longer, I completely love it. The more I cultivated, the deeper I forgot the original purpose."
He looked at Tang Jie: "You said you want great freedom, great freedom, then you know that this dream looks simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult. How can there be real freedom in your life. Even if one day you truly cultivate successfully , As long as you are still trapped in this Qixia realm, trapped in this cage of heaven and earth, you won’t even be at ease and at ease!"
"So as long as you are still in Qixia Realm, you can't hide from chasing, right? Then the purple energy rushes into the sky... Isn't it the people from the Tianshen Palace chasing it?" Tang Jie said lightly.
Xu Muyang was stunned, and finally shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I know I can't hide it from you."
"Then you asked me to buy Chen Ji's sauced duck, just to take the opportunity to support me?"
"En." Xu Muyang nodded: "But then I thought about when they will come, I don't know. What if they don't come when you go, what if you bump into it when you come back? So you If you have an excuse not to go, I'll do it, so I might as well just tell you here to understand, lest you get confused and die."
"Then why don't you run?"
"I can't run... I was in Cuiwei Mountain. They hadn't chased me for half a year. They couldn't find me again. After chasing me now, I naturally know where I am. No matter how I run, it will be useless. "Xu Muyang shook his head slightly, deep sorrow already appeared in his eyes.
Tang Jie was shocked, he remembered what Xu Muyang had said about the blood of the Xu family, and finally understood, he blurted out, "Your family betrayed you! Purple energy rushes into the sky... Purple Mansion Realm?"
Tang Jie understood it all at once.
Purple energy means huge spiritual energy fluctuations. Purple energy rushes into the sky. It is precisely the appearance of people with strong spiritual pressure. However, the number of Zifu Realm in Qixia Realm is very small, and it is almost impossible to encounter it in this remote place.
At this moment, the purple energy in the Spirit Test Array was still approaching Anyang Mansion, and it was actually taking this place straight away.
If there was a trace that might have been a passing True Monarch of the Purple Mansion before, then looking at this straight momentum, it is clear that it is directed at Xu Muyang.
The speed is not fast enough, if it is not that the opponent is not good at flying, or that he has a good chest, he is not afraid of running away. Considering the horror of the True Monarch of the Purple Mansion, it is mostly the latter.
Xu Muyang couldn't even beat an ordinary heavenly state of mind in the Tianshen Palace. Now that the True Monarch of the Purple Mansion is here, why should he fight? Tang Jie looked at Xu Muyang's eyes with horror, but Xu Muyang's heart was calm, like an ancient well.
"How can they treat you this way? You are from the Xu family!" Tang Jie stood up and shouted.
The Heavenly God Palace is not angry when chasing him, and Xu Muyang will not be afraid.
But the people of the Xu family actually betrayed Xu Muyang, which made Tang Jie completely incomprehensible.
Xu Muyang just shook his head: "It's a complete benevolence if you can survive for half a year. Tang Jie, you still don't really understand the cruelty of the immortal world, and you don't understand the position of the six major factions in this Qixia world. What four The big family, in front of the six schools, all are just small fish and shrimp... True Monarch of the Purple Mansion, one person can sweep the four major families. My Xu family is limited by the spiritual practice, so far no one can enter the Purple Mansion. Da faction, each faction has at least three true monarchs, Tianzun, and even the mighty powers of the Immortal Taiwan realm. Father, he can't help but bow his head!"
Tang Jie was desperate when he heard it, "Could it be that you just accepted your fate like this?"
"What can I do if I don't admit my life?" Xu Muyang smiled, drank the wine again, and continued: "In fact, I knew that this day would come. I owe my family too much. If I can have the next life, I can only repay it in the next life. Tang Jie, I tell you, you cannot hate my family for this matter, and you are not allowed to seek revenge against them in the future."
"Wh... What?" Tang Jie was shocked, revenge
Where does this start
Xu Muyang has said quickly: "Yes, remember, I am the Xu family when I am born, and I am a ghost when I die. In the future, if you are successful in cultivation, if you can still remember what I have done to you, then you can only treat the Xu family. Repay your gratitude, not revenge."
"But why should I..."
"Rely on this!" Xu Muyang flipped his wrist and put the piece of Xuan Bingjian he never left his hand into Tang Jie's arms: "The Jiuli Xuan Bingjian is the key to breaking the formation left by the soldier. The pattern on it is The Jiujue Zhuxian Array can evolve naturally, and its mystery is endless. Only by penetrating it can the Jiujue Zhuxian Array be truly cracked. And when I first visited the Bingjian, I found that there seems to be a weird mental method besides the formation pattern. I have been unable to comprehend this matter, but I don’t even know about it. I just thought that this weapon is the key. You have to learn more when you have time and don’t miss the opportunity. In fact, I have always felt that the original arrangement of the soldier may not be necessary. So simple. Although the Jiujuezhu Immortal Formation is an ancient great formation with extraordinary power, it is also for us. It may not be effective for those who can make him fall. In that case, it is obvious that only one great formation is needed. Not enough, and the mystery may be in this military lesson."
Then Xu Muyang gave Tang Jie a thick booklet, a few bottles of elixirs and his sword together: "The book is my experience in cultivating the formation method over the years. You should keep it. Before your formation does not reach the illusion of innate nature, you should not easily try to enlighten the sword, otherwise your mind will be restrained and your life will be in danger. As for the blue light sword, my only magic weapon, although you still can’t play its role. , It’s enough for self-defense. Everything else is considered ordinary. Let’s sell it for money. I’m not combative, so I don’t have any love for magic weapons and other foreign objects. There is really nothing good to give you, but as long as you study it carefully I left you with the true explanation of the formation. You can understand the formation, and sooner or later you can break the Nine Juezhu Immortal Formation and obtain the inner secret treasure."
"But… "
"No, but, leave here quickly. They haven't seen you and don't know your existence. Even if I die, I won't let them get the Xuan Bing Jian!" Xu Muyang has already stopped shouting, and the formation is full of purple energy. Is getting closer.
"No! I won't leave! I don't care about the virtual family, I just care about you!" Tang Jie shouted, "I won't leave you alone!"
At that moment, he suddenly understood that Xu Muyang certainly had feelings for him during the past six months of getting along, and regarded him like a younger brother, so why didn't he regard him as his own eldest brother
In any case, he can't watch Xu Muyang die like this!
Xu Muyang smiled and said, "You don't have to be so excited. I am not going to die for you. If I really want to survive, as long as I hand over the Bingjian, there is still a chance of survival. It's just my popularity. Not too big. If someone wants to plot against me, I must return it. Rather than betting on the possibility of survival, it’s better to take revenge! Handing the Bing Jian to you, I am borrowing your hand to take revenge on the Celestial Palace. It’s for you. It brings danger and trouble, so you don’t need to be too moved. Besides, if they don’t get the weapons, my virtual home can be much safer!"
Speaking of Xu Muyang had already stood up, and grabbed Tang Jie, countless spiritual threads had appeared like silk threads, actually wrapping Tang Jie like a spider web. Then Xu Muyang took out a piece of paper, folded it a few times, and turned it into a paper horse.
Xu Muyang drew a few strokes on the paper and threw them on the ground. Only when Herod screamed, a strong white horse appeared.
Xu Muyang threw Tang Jie on the horse's back, and the spirit line automatically entangled the white horse. He slapped the horse's ass again, and the horse ran out.
"Brother Xu, don't let me go!" Tang Jie shouted desperately immediately.
Xu Muyang already shouted: "Go north, don't come back!"
"No!" Tang Jie screamed desperately, but the spiritual thread was unbreakable, and bound him to the horse. The horse ran all the way without stopping.
Seeing Tang Jie's back disappear, Xu Muyang finally sat down.
He picked up the pot of wine and filled himself up, and whispered in a low voice: "It's a pity... after all, there was no time to send you to the Washing Moon Sect. The rest of the road, you can only go on your own."
With that said, he began to quietly wait for the coming of fate.
