God rewards those who work hard: no pains, 100% gains 2

Chapter 72 The Array Master can still play without cutting it?
In fact, the architectural task is not to build a house.

When Xu Ke came to the "construction site" together with other "migrant worker" monks who had also received construction tasks, Xu Ke saw several formation masters.

A high-ranking executive disciple of the Formation Palace, with a few juniors, turned around with a compass in the valley on the south side of the West Mountain Col, surveying the direction of the earth's veins.

"Senior Brother Peng, the manpower you want..."

The "Foreman" who led the team bowed their hands and reported to the senior disciples in the formation hall.

"Don't make noise! ​​Stay aside!"

This Senior Brother Peng yelled angrily, then ignored it, and focused on surveying the earth's veins, while holding the compass to detect, while counting with his fingers, he seemed very busy.

A group of "migrant worker monks" did not dare to make any complaints after being treated so roughly, 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 "Knowledge of Observation" 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.

I got the answer at a glance, and 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 only at this level!
At this moment, Xu Ke had the feeling that a bully saw a scumbag.

Although these formation masters are somewhat "scumbags", the formation method they mastered is still very useful to Xu Ke.

Now that you have encountered it, of course you can't let it go.

Xu Ke had already made up his mind, 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 Senior Brother Peng from the Formation Palace finally surveyed the direction of the land veins.

Afterwards, Senior Brother Peng of the Formation Hall 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."

Senior Brother Peng counted a few people in the crowd, and waved to others, "The rest stay here and follow the arrangements of my seniors."

After finishing speaking, Senior Brother Peng waved his hand and walked out with a few "migrant workers" who had been pointed out.

Xu Ke is the one who "brings the 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 and earth system, 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?

Moreover, Xu Ke is not a gold-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.

Stretching out his finger to the cliff in front, 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 where I made the mark."

"Let me do it!"

Xu Ke wanted to "steal a teacher to learn art", so he naturally had to show it well, anyway, he didn't want to do it himself.

With a move of consciousness, he told the mountain-moving ape the size of the pit through the "heart seal psychic technique". Xu Ke waved his hand to the mountain-moving ape behind him, "Go!"

The mountain-moving ape hastily walked to the designated location, stretched out his hand to grab it, and the earth-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, which is one foot, three feet and four minutes deep into the ground, which is not bad at all.

"Not bad!"

Senior Brother Peng looked at the pothole dug out, then at the mountain-moving ape, turned his head and nodded to Xu Ke, "This junior from Yushoutang did a good job."

"Senior Brother Peng, I'm not from the Beastmaster Hall."

Xu Ke smiled "honestly", and said to Senior Brother Peng, "I'm from the Temple of Si Nong."

"Huh? From the Hall of Si Nong?"

Brother Peng was obviously stunned for a moment, with an expression of "you're fucking kidding me".

You are a farming disciple of the Temple of Si Nong, but you have a beast master who has perfected Qi training. How can you be called a disciple of the Hall of beasts?
Not only was Senior Brother Peng a little dazed, but the migrant monks next to him also looked at Xu Ke in surprise.

However, everyone didn't pay much attention.This royal beast must have been given by his parents!
Afterwards, Senior Brother Peng began to arrange the array.

He took out a copper rod engraved with countless runes from the storage bag, and shot out another rune of spiritual power stimulation, and a series of spiritual lights circulated endlessly on the copper rod.

Xu Ke looked at this rune copper rod and clearly felt its extraordinaryness.

This rune stick looks very advanced. It should not belong to Senior Brother Peng himself, but to be used by the sect boss to set up the formation for him.

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's veins, and the Xuanmen technique performs careful and rapid calculations.

In a moment, 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 ground veins, and then transmit the spiritual energy to other locations by means of "wireless transmission".

This is an "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 ordered the mountain-moving ape to backfill the earth and rocks dug out just now, and bury the rune copper rods in the ground.

After building a "array node", Senior Brother Peng took Xu Ke and others to place rune copper pillars all over the valley to build an array node.

After working hard for an hour, all formation nodes have been constructed.

Xu Ke clearly saw from the perspective of "spiritual vision" through qi gazing and geomancy techniques that the aura of heaven and earth near the West Mountain Col was gradually changing its original trajectory under the influence of these formation nodes.

Spiritual energy poured in, and each formation node lit up.

A strand of spiritual power flows between the formation nodes, interacts with each other, and is constantly connected, gradually forming a whole.

Under Xu Ke's "spiritual vision", all the nodes of the formation were shining brightly, like a sky full of stars in the dark night.

The distribution of these "stars" is very regular.

Based on the number of formation nodes, Xu Ke secretly calculated in his mind, and found that these formation nodes are all arranged with "five elements".

So, this is a five-element array?

The spiritual power of gold and earth is the main one here, the other spiritual powers are slightly weaker, and the spiritual power of water 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 thought to himself, maybe Senior Brother Peng wanted to use the principle of "five elements intergrowth" and use the two spiritual powers of metal and earth as the source to transform spiritual power of other attributes?

Although the knowledge of runes is very strong, Xu Ke is not good enough in formation, and 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 he thought Xu Ke was very useful, and when Senior Brother Peng was setting up the formation, he called Xu Ke over to work as a laborer.

Uh... To be precise, it was the ape who moved the mountain as the labor force, and Xu Ke stood aside and "stealed the teacher".

Next, Senior Brother Peng took Xu Ke to... dig holes between the formation nodes.

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 five-element rune sticks and placed them deep or shallow.

This operation looks no different from the previous construction of array nodes.

Even the rune stick placed by Senior 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 heaven and 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.

and so……

Xu Ke looked at the line of spiritual power drawn by Senior Brother Peng on the ground.

These crooked lines of spiritual power are the running route of spiritual power in the formation.

Through the analysis of spells, Xu Ke has long 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 Fu Jing, Xu Ke suddenly discovered...the lines of spiritual power drawn by Brother Peng can find the corresponding structure in the basic rune.

That's it!

If a spell is to cast a spell 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.

Formation is to arrange formation nodes, invoke the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and then run these spiritual powers according to special trajectories and frequencies, so as to achieve various formation effects.

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 avenues, the same destination by different paths.

The rune knowledge that Xu Ke obtained from the Yuan Fu Jing is more beneficial to his practice than he imagined.

After understanding the principle of formation, Xu Ke and Senior Brother Peng's cooperation became more tacit.

Brother Peng had 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 emphasize the position, 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.

Regardless of just digging a hole, the orientation, angle, size, shape and depth of each hole need to be very precise.

Array masters are accustomed to using "Xuanmen Shushu" to explain these data, but which monk would go to specialize in 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, and Senior Brother Peng took Xu Ke to accurately and quickly arrange the connection routes between the various formation nodes.

After the completion, Xu Ke zoomed in on the whole, bringing all formation nodes and connecting lines into view.

As a result, 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 mine 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, it has 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 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 array discs and array 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 big boss of the Zongmen took out so many high-grade formation magic weapons, and he also spent 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.

One after another spiritual light shines, and the spiritual power of the five elements flows rapidly along the nodes of the formation. The formation runs very smoothly without any hindrance, and the formation is very successful.

"It's done!"

Senior Brother Peng smiled and nodded, then turned his head to look at Xu Ke, and was about to speak, but paused again, "Uh... this junior, you did a good job!"

This is because Senior 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."

Senior Brother Peng smiled, "I just learned the formation method, and I have been digging holes with Master for several years!"

Just as he was talking, suddenly an alarm bell sounded.

"Dangdangdang..."

The hasty bell rang.

"The horde of beasts is coming, 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 roar echoed in the col.

The beast tide is coming?

Xu Ke's face 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!"

Senior Brother Peng waved his hand, "Stay here and protect the law for me. The big formation has been completed, and I will activate the big formation, which is the best support."

"it is good!"

Xu Ke naturally would not have any objections.Who doesn't like fishing in an aboveboard manner?

The next moment, Senior Brother Peng waved his hand and shot out a wave of spiritual power, the altar shook slightly, and in the formation plate placed on the altar, streaks of spiritual light flickered across the runes.

On the array flags arranged around, runes appeared one after another, and as the spiritual light flowed, images of five kinds of divine beasts, green dragon, white tiger, rosefinch, basalt, and unicorn, were transformed.

"Wutu Formation, get up!"

Senior Brother Peng stood on the Dharma altar, stepped on the Yu step, 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 Dharma sword again, "Gengjin Formation, get up!"

A ray of white light hit the flag of the White Tiger Formation, and another wave of sharp and cold light swept out, blessing all the monks.

All attack!All defenses!
The formation master is really awesome!
That's why Xu Ke wanted to learn formation from Senior Brother Peng.
