The strongest miner in the universe

Chapter 77
From ancient times to the present, the only currencies that can be widely used in the secular world are gold, silver, and copper, and this is not unreasonable, because they can indeed preserve their value.

Even the worst copper, without a trace of aura, is still valuable, because copper can transmit aura, which is why Chen Fenghe used bronze stakes to make formation nodes.

Of course, copper not only has the property of conduction, it also has the property of immortality, or a trace of sacred property, which comes from conducting electricity, because copper is a good conductor of electricity, and electricity, in the eyes of the ancients, is the key to destroying evil spirits. effective means.

In addition to copper, this is also the case with silver, which is more prominent in the West. For example, the Western Holy See and nobles all use silver to make tools.

For example, silver crosses, daggers, and even tableware, these things, Westerners have long recognized their attributes that can last forever.

Of course, compared to gold, silver and copper are a bit worse. Copper is the worst. After thousands of years, it will corrode, followed by silver, because silver will be oxidized after a long time, but gold does not have these problems. Simply relying on time to eliminate gold is definitely not enough.

If it is not exposed to the wind and rain in nature, gold can last forever. Therefore, Gao Jiuding highly recognizes the immortality of gold.

"True gold is not afraid of fire, but there is a lot of gold mixed in the refining furnace? Is this considered an alloy?" After searching for some scientific knowledge, Gao Jiuding discovered that there have been gold-copper alloys since ancient times.

It turned out that Gao Jiuding knew that copperware is not afraid of fire, and the more it is grilled, the more beautiful its color will be. Now he knows that it is not only copper, but also gold and gold-copper alloy.

"Gold is also needed for the refining of the Great Dao Hong Furnace. Why didn't the little girl mention it to me?" Gao Jiuding found out that he also needed a lot of gold, because in the process of refining the spaceship, many places need gold with the attribute of immortality. To avoid the power of time.

Just like the Fox at the foot of Gao Jiuding, if the black iron was not mixed with some copper, after more than 100 years, the spaceship might have been scrapped due to corrosion. Of course, the scrapped must be the shell.

"What is the attribute of immortality? To put it bluntly, isn't it anti-rust?" Gao Jiuding laughed when he saw the back.

However, after laughing, Gao Jiuding still deeply admired the wisdom of the predecessors, after all, others thought of a way to preserve it.

For example, the bronze piles buried in the ground by Chen Fenghe, if there is no human destruction, those bronze piles can exist here for thousands of years.

Thinking of the bronze stake, Gao Jiuding's mind concentrated on the inside of the storage ring. Gao Jiuding remembered that he had bought some tools for learning formations.

Soon, Gao Jiuding took out a lot of things, including secret books, jade pupil slips, and some jade sticks.

Putting the other things aside, Gao Jiuding first picked up a jade stick and fiddled with it. He wanted to use this thing to deduce the formation.

Of course, this thing is not called a jade stick. The accurate term should be a counting chip, a calculation tool used by ancient Chinese people.

Ordinary counting chips are actually a neatly carved bamboo stick with a diameter of about two to three millimeters and a length of about ten centimeters.

In addition to bamboo, there are also counting chips made of wood, iron, jade, bone, and ivory.

Put the counting chip in a bag or a pen holder and carry it with you. This is what the ancients called a "counting bag" or "counter tube".

The Tang Dynasty once stipulated that civil and military officials must have calculation bags to improve the scientific nature of decision-making.

Of course, Gao Jiuding didn't use jade counting chips to calculate anything, he used another function of counting chips.

In fact, if you really know about counting chips, you should know that the people who first used counting chips in ancient times must be masters of mathematics who are proficient in the Book of Changes, and the earliest mathematics in China should also come from those who study Qimen gossip .

There are two ways of counting chips to represent numbers: vertical and horizontal. If you have seen the counting of chips, then you will find that those small vertical and horizontal sticks are very similar to some hexagrams on the Bagua diagram. of.

Of course, there may also be the opposite reason. For example, the icon of the Eight Diagrams in "Book of Changes" is composed of horizontal lines with different lengths, which may be related to the use of counting chips at that time.

In any case, counting chips and gossip are not clearly related. Now, Gao Jiuding uses the counting chips and calculation ability. In fact, Gao Jiuding uses these things as the foundation of the formation.

This thing is the same as the bronze stakes for the formation, it is very convenient to use, and it can be seen at a glance, so it is very convenient to use this to learn the formation.

Using counting chips to set up an array, regardless of vertical or horizontal, you must calculate the distance, interval, and even length, and all of these are combined into one, and if there is spiritual energy in it, it will form an array.

Of course, if you put it in the wrong position, even if there is spiritual traction, it will not form a whole!
This is the application of counting chips in formations, or a kind of experimental material similar to building blocks, which can help beginners learn the arrangement of formations.

Of course, the array method is more complicated than the counting chip calculation, because the calculation can only be displayed on a plane, while the formation method is a three-dimensional display, so at this time, Gao Jiuding's application of the calculation chip is not only vertical and horizontal, but also There is a way to establish.

In this way, the amount of calculation increases sharply, because the amount of calculation changes from a two-latitude plane to a three-dimensional three-dimensional space.

Previously, Gao Jiuding didn't have an array map in his hand, even if he had a plan, he couldn't use it, but now it's different, the opening of a secret place naturally requires a little harvest, such as those complete stacks piled up in the warehouse Small forests, they are likely to be formations.

Of course, in the words of Africans or Westerners, it should be a magic circle or a star circle.

Therefore, don't think that only the ancestors of the Chinese have developed formations, foreigners also have them, and the most famous one is the six-pointed star formation, which is a magic formation that has been passed down for a long time in the Western secular world.

Formation has never been simple, so even if Gao Jiuding can get some basic knowledge, it is not so easy to learn.

Recently, Gao Jiuding has collected a lot of formation diagrams of ancient formations, the most famous of which is the Eight Diagrams formation. If Gao Jiuding wants to learn formations, it is best to start with the Eight Diagrams formation.

Gao Jiuding had never seen Marquis Wu's Bagua formation, but with the diagram of the Bagua formation, he could learn a lot of basic knowledge of the formation.

It is only after seeing the formation diagram that one realizes that even the simplest Bagua formation is not that simple.

The composition of the "Eight Arrays" is based on the four lands of Qiankun and Xungen, which are the frontal formations of the heaven and earth, and the main soldiers.

The northwest is the dry land, and the dry is the sky array.The one in the southwest is the land of Kun, and Kun is the land formation.The land in the southeast is the residence of Xun, and the Xun is the wind gust.The land in the northeast is Gen Ju, and the Gen is the mountain, and the mountains and rivers come out of the clouds, forming the cloud array, with water, fire, gold and wood as the dragon, tiger, bird, and snake four strange formations, as the strange soldiers.

The formation is the green dragon (array) on the left, the white tiger (array) on the right, the red bird (array) in the front, and the Xuanwu (array) in the back, among which the generals live.

The eight formations are arranged in the general formation. The total formation is 64 24 formations, which is a fixed formation. If you add rangers, it will be composed of [-] formations.

It can be seen from here that the gossip formation is divided into virtual and real parts, the fixed formation is a formation made from the periphery, and the virtual formation is artificial.

There are 32 yin and yang formations in the eight trigrams, 24 yang formations, and 24 yin formations. This is a fixed formation.

There are more changes in the virtual formation. There are 24 formations of rangers. After 60 formations, all marches, formations, joint battles, setting up doubts, filling vacancies, and logistics are all in the rangers. It can be said that there are many changes and unpredictable.

And even so, the Eight Diagrams Formation can only be regarded as a simple basic formation, but this kind of basic formation, its complexity, cannot be easily arranged successfully by a rookie like Gao Jiuding!
It is very difficult to set up the formation independently. If you only have the formation diagram, you will not understand the changes of the formation diagram at all, but it is different if you have the formation disk. If you can buy the formation disk, then you will learn a lot!
Gao Jiuding has spirit stones, so when he wanted to learn formations, he bought all the learning tools, including a Bagua formation disk.

With the formation map and a Bagua formation disk, Gao Jiuding can look at the formation disk, analyze the formation diagram, and slowly assemble a Bagua formation according to the diagram.

There is a complete formation in the formation disk, as long as the formation disk is triggered, the internal formation will automatically pull and run, which is simply a fool's operation, so the formation disk is very popular now.

Why is it popular?It is because the manual arrangement of formations is too slow and too difficult for ordinary people to complete.

For example, in the Bagua map, there are eight formations in the Bagua diagram, and the "eight formations" are the sky-covering formation, the ground-carrying formation, the wind-raising formation, the cloud-hanging formation, the dragon-flying formation, the tiger-wing formation, the bird-flying formation, and the snake-coiling formation.

Such a complicated thing is definitely not suitable for novices to learn, so Gao Jiuding studied it in depth, and then decisively gave up, because it is too complicated.

"Three days?" Gao Jiuding didn't want to continue to study the Bagua diagram, only to realize that three days had passed.

He felt that only a while passed, but he didn't expect that he had been studying the array for three days, and he was addicted to it unconsciously.

"No wonder low-level cultivators don't study these miscellaneous studies, it's a waste of time!" Gao Jiuding shook his head, feeling that the knowledge of formations is really extensive and profound.

"Let's study something simple!" Gao Jiuding put down his calculations and began to meditate and practice.

Indulging in the formation technique, he even forgot to practice, this is not a qualified cultivator!
Two hours later, Gao Jiuding got out of the spaceship, took a bath in the surrounding river and changed his clothes before Gao Jiuding returned to the spaceship.

Looking at the scattered counting chips on the podium, Gao Jiuding rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Formation definitely needs to be studied, but it must not be indulged, or the cultivation base will be pulled down.

And as long as it doesn't hinder the cultivation, whether it's formations or talismans, whether it's alchemy or weapon refining, these all need to be studied in depth.

Therefore, you should get started as soon as possible without affecting your cultivation.

All cultivation knowledge is complementary to each other. Simple cultivation is fine at the beginning, but when the cultivation level reaches a high level, without sufficient knowledge depth and breadth, the speed of cultivation will definitely be affected.

　Thanks &ζξβ&, Wuwangzhi two brothers for their rewards!
