Chapter 72 Array mage can still play without cutting?
In fact, the construction task is not to build a house.
When Xu Ke came to the "construction site" together with other "migrant worker" monks who also took on the construction task, Xu Ke saw several formation masters.
A high-level executive disciple of the Formation Hall, with a few juniors, was in the valley on the south side of the West Mountain Col, turning around with a compass, surveying the direction of the earth veins.
"Brother Peng, the manpower you want..."
The "Foreman" leading the team bowed their hands and reported to the high-ranking disciples in the formation hall.
"Don't make noise! Stay aside!"
Brother Peng yelled angrily, then ignored it, and focused on surveying the earth veins, while holding the compass to detect, while counting with his fingers, he seemed very busy.
A group of "migrant worker monks" were treated so roughly, and they didn't dare to complain at all. Instead, they looked at Senior Brother Peng with a bit of respect.
Those who eat technology are awesome.
It's just... the flow direction of the earth veins here is not complicated! Is it worth working so hard?
As long as you avoid the interference of the aura of the mineral veins over there, isn't the direction of the veins clear at a glance? It's very simple!
Hmm...With my breakthrough "Gazing of the Earth" and "Looking at Qi", coupled with the talent of "Dayan Divine Calculation", the direction of the earth's veins is clear at a glance, but for others, it is not so clear at a glance.
I got the answer at a glance, but you didn't understand it for a long time.
Xu Ke raised his eyebrows. It turns out that the formation masters in your formation hall are of this level!
At this moment, Xu Ke felt like a top student seeing a scumbag.
Although these formation masters are somewhat "stupid", the formation method they mastered is still very useful to Xu Ke.
Since I have encountered it, of course I cannot let it go.
Xu Ke has already made up his mind, and he must carefully observe how they set up their formation later, and take the opportunity to steal a lesson.
Next, Xu Ke and a group of "migrant workers" monks waited in the valley for more than an hour, until the Senior Brother Peng of the Formation Palace finally surveyed the direction of the earth veins.
Afterwards, Senior Brother Peng of the Formation Palace put down his compass, turned his head to look at the "migrant worker monk", and stretched out his hand to point out a few people in the crowd.
"You, you, and you, um... the one with the mountain monkey, you also count, you come with me."
Brother Peng counted a few people in the crowd, and waved to others, "The rest stay here and listen to the arrangements of my juniors."
After finishing speaking, Senior Brother Peng waved his hand and walked out with a few "migrant workers" he had pointed out.
Xu Ke is the one who "brings the mountain-moving ape".
Turning his head to look at the "migrant workers" that Senior Brother Peng pointed out, Xu Ke found that the people that Senior Brother Peng pointed out were all monks of the Metal Department and the Earth Department, and their strength was above the seventh level of Qi training.
Only Xu Ke's realm is low, only the sixth level of Qi training is perfect, and he is still short of the seventh level of Qi training... a day or two?
Besides, Xu Ke is not yet a metal-type earth-type monk, so being singled out by Senior Brother Peng must be a "bonus" for the high-level earth-type spirit beast that has completed Qi training, the Mountain-moving Ape.
Brother Peng brought Xu Ke and others to the edge of a cliff.
Pointing at the cliff in front of him, Senior Brother Peng raised his hand and shot out a line of spiritual power, made a mark, and told everyone: "Dig down one foot, three feet and four minutes at the place where I made the mark."
"Let me do it!"
Xu Ke wants to "steal a teacher to learn art", so naturally he has to show it well, anyway, he doesn't want to do it himself.
With a move of consciousness, through the "heart imprint psychic technique", he told the mountain-moving ape the size of the digging hole. Xu Ke waved his hand to the mountain-moving ape behind him, "Go!"
Mountain-Moving Ape hurriedly walked to the designated location, stretched out his hand to grab it, and the khaki-yellow spiritual power shone in his palm.
The next moment, the earth and rocks below the marked position turned into a flow of earth and rocks as if they had come to life, and were pulled out by the mountain-moving ape and thrown aside.
There is only a square pit left at the marked position, and it goes deep into the ground one foot, three feet and four minutes, which is not bad at all.
"good!"
Brother Peng looked at the dug hole, then at the mountain-moving ape, turned his head and nodded to Xu Ke, "This junior from Yushoutang, you did a good job."
"Brother Peng, I'm not from Yushoutang."
Xu Ke smiled "sincerely", and said to Brother Peng, "I'm from the Temple of Si Nong."
"Huh? From the Palace of Sinong?"
Brother Peng was obviously stunned for a moment, with an expression of "you're **** kidding me".
You are a farmer disciple of the Temple of Si Nong, but you bring a master beast with perfect qi training, how can you be called a disciple of the beast master hall?
Not only Senior Brother Peng was a little dazed, but also a few migrant monks next to him looked at Xu Ke in surprise.
However, everyone didn't pay much attention to it. This royal beast must have been given by his parents!
Afterwards, Brother Peng began to arrange the array.
Take out a copper rod engraved with countless runes from the storage bag, and hit another rune of spiritual power stimulation, and the spiritual light circulates endlessly on the copper rod.
Xu Ke looked at this rune copper rod and clearly felt its extraordinaryness.
This rune stick looks very high-end. It should not belong to Senior Brother Peng himself, but to be used by the big boss of the sect.
The qi-watching technique distinguishes the flow of spiritual power, the Kanyu technique analyzes the relationship between the copper rod runes and the aura of the earth veins, the Xuanmen technique performs careful and rapid calculations, and the comprehensive knowledge of the runes during the qi training period flows rapidly in Xu Ke's mind.
In a short while, Xu Ke understood the function of this rune copper rod.
The function of this rune copper rod is to absorb the spiritual energy from the earth veins, and then transmit the spiritual energy to other locations by means of "wireless transmission".
This is a "array base" for the formation, which is used to build "array nodes".
At this time, Senior Brother Peng picked up the copper rune stick and carefully placed it in the pit just dug out.
"Fill in!"
Brother Peng waved to Xu Ke.
Xu Ke quickly directed the mountain-moving ape to backfill the earth and rocks dug out just now, and bury the rune copper rod into the ground.
After building a "array node", Senior Brother Peng took Xu Ke and others to place copper pillars of runes in various places in the valley to build an array node.
After working hard for an hour, all formation nodes have been constructed.
Xu Ke, through qi-watching techniques and geomancy techniques, from the perspective of "spiritual vision", can clearly see that the aura of the whole world near the West Mountain Pass is gradually changing its original trajectory under the influence of these formation nodes.
Aura poured in, and each formation node lit up.
Strains of spiritual power flow between the nodes of the formation, interact with each other, connect continuously, and gradually form a whole.
Under Xu Ke's "spiritual vision", all the nodes of the formation are shining brightly, like a sky full of stars in the dark night.
The distribution of these "stars" is very regular.
Xu Ke secretly calculated according to the number of formation nodes, and found that these formation nodes are all arranged with "five elements".
So, this is a five-element array?
Here, the metal and earth spiritual powers are the main ones, the other spiritual powers are slightly weaker, and the water-type spiritual power is the weakest. The spiritual power of the Five Elements is seriously unbalanced, so it shouldn't be the Five Elements Formation, right?
Xu Ke was thinking in his heart, maybe Senior Brother Peng wanted to use the principle of "five elements intergrowth" and use the two kinds of spiritual power of gold and earth as the source to transform spiritual power of other attributes?
Although knowledge of runes is strong, Xu Ke is not good enough in formations, so he couldn't judge Brother Peng's formation plan for a while.
Then let's see how he sets up the formation first!
After the formation node is built, the foundation of the formation has been laid, and the next step is to manipulate these spiritual powers by arranging formations, so as to realize various formation functions.
It seems that Xu Ke is very useful. When Brother Peng was setting up the formation, he called Xu Ke over to work.
Uh... To be precise, it was the ape who moved the mountain as the labor force, and Xu Ke stood aside to "steal the teacher".
Brother Peng used his spiritual power to draw zigzag lines between the nodes of the formation, and then asked Xu Ke to direct the mountain-moving ape to dig out pits along the lines.
In these pits, Senior Brother Peng took out rune sticks with five-element attributes, and placed them in deep or shallow places.
This operation looks no different from the previous formation node.
Even the rune stick placed by Brother Peng, except that it is smaller than the rune stick at the formation node, has no difference in function, and they all play the role of spiritual power transmission.
The spiritual power operating in the formation all depends on "wireless transmission"? This will cause spiritual power to dissipate and the loss will be serious.
Oh, what is consumed is the spiritual power that flows naturally between the heaven and the earth, so it's fine.
Since these small rune sticks are used to transmit spiritual power, the key to realizing the formation function is not on these rune sticks.
so…
Xu Ke looked at the spiritual power lines drawn by Senior Brother Peng on the ground.
These crooked spiritual power lines are the running route of spiritual power in the formation.
By analyzing the spells, Xu Ke has already deeply realized that various magical effects can be achieved by the operation of spiritual power in a specific route and frequency.
Comparing the basic rune structure of the Yuan Fujing, Xu Ke suddenly discovered that the spiritual power lines drawn by Senior Brother Peng can find the corresponding structure in the basic runes.
I see!
If a spell is cast on paper, then a formation is to draw a spell on the ground!
At this moment, Xu Ke already understood the essence of the formation.
Arrays are to achieve various array effects by arranging formation nodes, invoking the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and then operating these spiritual powers according to special trajectories and frequencies.
From the most essential point of view, whether it is spells, spells, or formations, they are all realized by manipulating the trajectory and frequency of spiritual power.
Three thousand roads lead to the same goal.
Xu Ke's rune knowledge obtained from the Yuan Fu Jing is more helpful to practice than imagined.
After realizing the principle of formation, the cooperation between Xu Ke and Senior Brother Peng became more tacit.
Brother Peng just finished drawing the lines of spiritual power, and after talking about the location, size, angle and depth of the pit, Xu Ke immediately directed the mountain-moving ape to complete it quickly without any mistakes.
There was absolutely no error or hesitation in the whole process, and it was done very quickly and accurately.
This made Senior Brother Peng look at Xu Ke with admiration.
There is no need to explain to him in detail, repeatedly emphasizing the orientation, angle, size, shape and depth of each pit, and there is no need to correct mistakes and rework. You only need to make a request, and it can be completed accurately and quickly.
With the cooperation of such assistants, the formation was really smooth, easy, and refreshing.
Although it is just a digging hole, the orientation, angle, size, shape and depth of each hole need to be very precise.
Array masters are used to using "Xuanmen Shushu" to explain these data, but which monk would go to learn Xuanmen Shushu?
In the past, when setting up the formation, we emphasized many times before digging the pit, and had to rework many times after digging the pit, which made people furious.
Now, Xu Ke only needs to say the request once, and Xu Ke can complete it accurately and quickly.
An assistant who can understand the data representation of "Xuanmen Shushu" and can quickly and accurately complete tasks as required is really very comfortable.
With the close cooperation of the two, the formation became very smooth.
It took another half a day, Senior Brother Peng took Xu Ke to arrange all the connection routes between the various formation nodes accurately and quickly.
After the completion of the work, Xu Ke enlarged his field of vision to the whole, and brought all formation nodes and connecting lines into his field of vision.
Thus, all the structures of this formation are completely clear.
It is exactly the same as Xu Ke's previous guess, and it really is a five-element array.
This five-element array is to use the abundant earth-type aura in the West Mountain Col and the gold-type aura in the ore veins to transform through the formation method to become complete with five-element spiritual power, realize the five-element generation and restraint, and endless life.
Judging from the effect of the formation, there is attack, defense, control, and weakening, which is very comprehensive.
Next, Senior Brother Peng set up a dharma altar in the center of the five-element formation, buried the formation plate, planted the formation flag, and successfully completed the task of setting up the formation.
This dharma altar, these formation disks and formation flags are all used to manipulate the spiritual power in the formation and control the operation of the formation.
Moreover, these disks and flags are also of high quality. Under Xu Ke's qi-watching technique, the aura on the formation board and the formation flag was dazzling.
The boss of the Zongmen took out so many high-grade magic weapons, and it cost a lot of money.
At this time, after the altar was set up, Senior Brother Peng unleashed a burst of spiritual power to activate the formation.
Spiritual lights shone one after another, and the spiritual power of the five elements flowed rapidly along the nodes of the formation. The formation was running very smoothly without any hindrance, and the formation was very successful.
"It's done!"
Brother Peng nodded with a smile, then turned his head to look at Xu Ke, and just about to speak, he paused again, "Uh... this brother, you did a good job!"
This is because Brother Peng found out that he didn't even know Xu Ke's name.
"Brother Peng, my name is Xu Ke."
Xu Ke smiled and cupped his hands, "It's all thanks to Senior Brother Peng. I just dug a few holes. Oh, I didn't dig them, they were dug by the mountain-moving ape."
"Don't underestimate digging, it's not easy to dig well."
Brother Peng smiled, "I just learned formation, and I have been digging holes with Master for several years!"
While talking, suddenly an alarm bell rang.
"Dangdangdang..."
The rapid bell rang.
"The horde of beasts is coming, and the defense line on the top of the mountain is tight. Everyone immediately enter the defense line on the top of the mountain to support!"
Deacon Wang's loud roar echoed in the col.
Beast tide is coming?
Xu Ke's complexion changed, and he quickly bowed his hands to Senior Brother Peng, "Senior Brother Peng, I'm going to the defense line on the top of the mountain to support..."
"No need to go!"
Brother Peng waved his hand, "Stay here and protect me. The big formation has been completed, and I will activate the big formation, which is the best support."
"good!"
Xu Ke naturally has no objections. Who doesn't like fishing in an aboveboard manner?
The next moment, I saw Senior Brother Peng waving a wave of spiritual power, the altar was slightly shaken, placed in the array on the altar, and auras of aura flickered in the runes.
On the array flags arranged around, one after another runes appeared, and the images of five divine beasts, green dragon, white tiger, rosefinch, basalt, and unicorn, were formed as the aura flowed.
"Wutu Formation, get up!"
Brother Peng stood on the Dharma altar, stepped on Yu steps, pointed at the Dharma sword, and a thick yellow aura rushed out and hit the Qilin formation flag.
With a "bang", the whole earth shook violently, and the thick spiritual power of the earth rippled out like light waves.
In an instant, all the monks covered by the aura of the earth, as well as the buildings on the defense line, all lit up with a thick and solid thick earth shield.
The next moment, Senior Brother Peng waved his magic sword again, "Gengjin Formation, get up!"
A white light hit the White Tiger Formation flag, and another sharp and cold wave of light swept out, blessing all the monks.
All attack! All defenses!
Array Master is really awesome!
That's why Xu Ke wanted to learn the formation from Senior Brother Peng.
