Chapter 3 Array Master
Author: Guanxu
After Mo Hua Mao got up, he started his routine practice.
An hour later, after finishing the practice, I went to the teaching room and waited for teaching.
Tutors are the general term for teachers within the sect, who teach the outer disciples specific exercises such as cultivation, formations, alchemy, and weapon refining. They are also responsible for supervising and guiding the outer disciples in their practice.
Tongxian Sect, like other sects in the cultivation world, also divides its disciples into three categories: direct descendants, inner sect and outer sect.
The outer sect of the sect is open to the outside world. It mainly preaches and teaches people, and teaches people to practice cultivation. It earns its income by collecting the disciples’ entrance fees, that is, tuition fees. The outer sect disciples learn part of the sect’s inheritance that is open to the outside world. The disciples graduate or retire. After his career, he had a relationship with the sect, but had no actual relationship with him.
The inner sect is the main body of the sect. The disciples of the inner sect are attached to the sect. In addition to practicing, they will take care of various industries of the sect, such as spiritual mines, spiritual lands, caves, trading houses, etc.
Inner sect disciples can learn the skills and spells that are generally not taught outside the sect. The relationship between master and disciple is the link, and they are closely related to the sect and are inseparable. Inner sect disciples who commit crimes outside can be held accountable by their sect. If an inner sect disciple rebels, Being a disciple is often regarded as treason and has serious consequences.
The direct disciples of the sect are the direct lineage among the inner disciples. These disciples are either related by blood to the head or elders, or they have a very deep master-disciple relationship. The direct disciples are the core of the sect and will often succeed the sect leader in the future. A very important position such as a sect or an elder.
The direct disciples learn the core skills of the sect, as well as other secrets that are forbidden to be taught to outsiders. If the direct disciples judge the sect, they will be hunted to death.
"Tao Law" prohibits lynching and indiscriminate killing of monks. Pursuing and killing direct disciples who rebel against the sect. Violation of the Tao Law will be held accountable by the Tao court. However, most of the affairs of rebellion are under the jurisdiction of the local Tao court. The Tao court is the most powerful. As for the Dao Tingsi, a subordinate department in charge of all states and even cities, not all of them have powerful monks.
When a direct disciple rebels against a sect, it is a matter of great importance to the core inheritance of the sect. Generally, the Tao Ting Si will not interfere. Especially for a large sect that is a giant, the local Tao Ting Si does not dare to intervene.
However, these have little to do with ink painting.
He is only a disciple of the outer sect of Yipin Tongxian Sect, not an inner sect, let alone a direct descendant. Even if he wants to be hunted down, others will look down on him...
Mo Hua wants to enter the inner sect, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't have a spiritual stone. It's probably impossible in this life, let alone a direct descendant of the sect.
Mo Hua calmly sat at the table for a while and then saw Yan Jiaoxi walking in with a serious look on his face.
Yan Jiaoxi is about forty or fifty years old. He is a serious man and has reached the ninth level of Qi refining.
Among the Tongxian Sect, Yan Jiaoxi's status is quite high, because among all the teachers, only Yan Jiaoxi knows the formation, and it is said that it is possible to become a first-grade formation master through certification in a few years.
The formations of all Qi Refining Stage disciples of Tongxian Sect are taught by Yan Jiaoxi. Regardless of family disciples or ordinary cultivators, Yan Jiaoxi treats them equally. Anyone who makes a mistake will not be given face. Anyone who deserves blame will be blamed and punished. Just punish.
Therefore, the disciples of Tongxian Sect both respect and fear Yan Jiaoxi.
The sect's training is held once a year, so the teaching is also held once a year.
Today is the last day of the Tongxian Sect’s annual practice. After today, it will be more than half a month’s annual break. The assessment results of various homework assignments for the sect’s disciples will also be released today.
Yan Jiaoxi held a stack of transcripts in his hand.
The disciples felt uneasy. The ink painting was originally nothing, but seeing the disciples around them acting like they were facing a formidable enemy, they became nervous.
After a while, Mo Hua received his sect's assessment results.
As usual, the formation assessment is Grade A, which is what Mo Hua is best at. In Tongxian Sect, there are not many disciples who can get Grade A in formation, and Mo Hua is one of them.
Mo Hua's cultivation level is only rated as second-level. It's not that he doesn't work hard in cultivation, but that his bones are limited. The small five-element spiritual roots of the middle grade are still the same no matter how he cultivates. They are not enough compared to those above and there is nothing left over compared to those below.
many.
Several other courses, if you can learn them well if you spend time, such as the general history of Taoism, Theory of Qi Refining, etc., are basically Grade A. But if you need to spend spiritual stones to buy materials to learn well, such as alchemy, making talismans, etc., you will be either Grade B or Grade A.
C.
The ink painter was from a poor family and could not afford to borrow an alchemy furnace, so he naturally did not learn well. During the assessment, he could only practice blindly based on his feelings. Whether he could succeed or not depended on his face. His grades not only depended on luck, but were also erratic and very unstable.
But overall, the results are pretty good. As the saying goes, one handsome man covers all the ugly ones. After all, formations are difficult to learn, so getting a first-class score in formations is already pretty good.
Teacher Yan said a few words and left temporarily. The disciples in the room looked at each other's results and whispered.
"Mo Hua, you got an "A" in formation again!" A disciple secretly glanced at Mo Hua's report card, and then sighed.
"It's A again..."
"I have always been B..."
"I'm still C."
"It's so difficult to learn the formation. I get a headache when I see the formation..."
"..."
The disciples gathered around Mo Hua one after another.
"Hmph!" A disciple of the Qian family wearing a silver-white Taoist robe was dissatisfied and snorted coldly and said:
"What's so great about it is that you can only get an "A" by drawing simple formations like drawing sects."
"Then what did you get?" A disciple asked in dissatisfaction.
"Why should I tell you?" The Qian family disciple said disdainfully.
Another disciple secretly glanced at his report card, then laughed and said, "He got a C!"
The disciples were stunned for a moment and burst into laughter.
"You got a C and you laugh at someone else who got an A. You are so shameless!"
"Thicker than a refining furnace!"
"You are still a disciple of the Qian family. You are so stupid. You are not as good as me. I even got a "B"."
The disciples of the Qian family became angry and said, "So what if you are a grade A? Do you understand if you are a casual cultivator or a non-formation master?"
He pointed at them and painted them with ink, "You bunch of casual cultivators, frogs in the well, have no inheritance. For the rest of your life, listen carefully, you will never be able to produce an formation master. Bah, you are still in the first class! Remember, among casual cultivators, you will never be able to become a formation master."
It’s impossible to create a real formation master! If you don’t understand, I can say it again.”
"Rogue cultivators are never worthy of being formation masters!"
The disciples around him were silent.
Mo Hua looked at him like a fool, then stood up, saluted behind the disciple of the Qian family, and said:
"Good teaching and practice!"
The Qian family disciple turned his head stiffly as if struck by lightning, and sure enough he found Yan Jiaoxi standing behind him, his face ashen.
"The sect is for preaching and practicing Taoism, not for you to compare with and slander fellow sects!"
"You've learned so much about formations that you can't stand it, but you still have the nerve to laugh at your fellow disciples?"
"Now go and stand outside until dark."
"Draw the basic Five Elements pattern a hundred times and show it to me when you enroll in school next year. If you can't draw it, you won't be able to use it..."
The disciples of the Qian family were ashen-faced, but they did not dare to refute even a word.
Yan Jiaoxi has a high status and can train even direct disciples of the Qian family, let alone a branch of his family with a lower bloodline.
The Qian disciples stood dejectedly.
Yan Jiaoxi stood in front of Mo Hua, silent for a moment, reached out and patted Mo Hua's thin shoulder, sighed and said: "Don't care what others say, study hard."
Mo Hua looked as usual and bowed respectfully to Yan Jiaoxi, "Disciple, please remember this."
Yan Jiaoxi nodded, then walked to the teacher's seat, gave a few instructions to the disciples, and then announced that the sect was on annual leave and could go home.
The disciples suppressed their excitement, saluted to their teacher, thanked him for his teachings in practice over the past year, and then dispersed like birds and beasts with a loud crash.
The sect is on annual holiday, and the disciples are rejoicing.
Looking at the ink painting, I feel complicated.
Most of these disciples in the Qi Refining Period are still young and carefree, and are far from aware of the hardships of monastic life.
Thinking of the scars all over his father's body after hunting monsters and his mother's haggard face, Mo Hua felt sour and couldn't help but sigh.
Becoming a first-level formation master was still far away, but within his ability, he wanted to make his parents' lives better.
Mo Hua put away his transcripts and carried twelve spiritual stones in his arms. He did not go home after leaving Tongxian Sect, but walked to Fangshi.
