Chapter 146

I said comfort is because I spent a hundred years alone. I took a nap occasionally, and then continued to think about the composition of the "mountain sealing array". It was a period of time when I was busy and slept. It can be said that in my life, I felt the meaning of life for the first time. This time I was not for anyone, but for myself.

During this period, I thought about all kinds of messy thoughts, but unfortunately they were useless. In the end, I really reached a bottleneck. After I had no idea, I pondered for a moment, and then I could only sit cross-legged and recite the meditation mantra. The sun was sinking in the sky, and it was early spring again, leaving the coolness of winter. I carefully reached out and touched a small bunch of plum blossoms in the lower yard, feeling warm in my heart. Then I started meditating again, recalling everything that I encountered in the mountain sealing formation.

At that time, flowers, plants and trees were constantly growing, and Lu Ying and other plants had long become giants, covering the world. Most of the creatures could only feel the sunshine leaking from the gaps. Only a few places were relatively open and could be completely covered by sunlight and heavy snow. But A Zheng, Miss Jiang and me all seemed to have been forgotten, and as long as they were in that array, they would not die; that array had no boundaries, or to be more precise, it should be said that there was no fixed boundaries. There were eight array points in total, and the eye of the array was the stone that Miss Jiang had been living in.

These have been figured out for a long time, and I can't think of anything new. So while thinking about it, I unconsciously scattered eight stones. This is a problem that I have been studying the "mountain sealing formation" over the years.

I smiled, waved my hand to take back all the eight stones, while thinking about the purpose of the person who created this formation. In the eyes of fortune telling, "8" may be a good number, but in the formation, the "8" number is not particularly useful. Formation masters who have a little understanding of the formation will not easily use the "8" number unless they have the highest ability, and there is no need to pay attention to these potential rules. Then, in ancient books, there is no such person, because "8" is a lucky number. If you don't have enough luck, a good formation for praying for a good harvest will become a vicious formation. That's right, the "mountain sealing formation" was originally not called the "mountain sealing formation, but the "mountain harvesting formation", but in the long river of history, it gradually evolved into what it is today.

But what did the person who created this "mountain sealing formation" mean to use the number 8? After meditating for a long time, he still had no results. Finally, he simply let go of his mind, leaned against the old tree in the yard, and played with the eight stones in his hand.

Gradually, some changes seemed to occur around me. The stones I was playing with were becoming more and more skillful. In the end, the eight small stones disappeared surprisingly in sight. When they stopped, the eight stones had turned into gravel and disappeared in the wind in an instant. I stared at the scene in front of me, and had a faint enlightenment in my heart.

There are many requirements for setting up a formation, and the most taboo is to avoid complexity and disorder, otherwise the foundation of the formation will be messed up. So when I use these stones, no matter how they are placed, they will avoid the stones colliding with each other when allowed. However, everything that just happened made me realize it suddenly. Just like a traveler who was deeply trapped in fog, after clearing away the heavy fog, the joy of surviving the disaster and the expectation for the unknown.

While I was stunned, I had already climbed up from the ground, and couldn't wait to verify my guess.

I stood up a little and looked at the shade where I was. Occasionally, light shone through the gap between leaves. I just rested before, so it was nothing serious. But now I am going to solve the answer to the "mountain sealing formation". Naturally, nothing can disturb me. So I turned my steps and reached the sunlight. In an instant, it seemed that the whole world was lit up - and I just took a step out from the shadows under the tree.

I sighed and touched eight stones on my hands from the ground, my eyes slightly condensed. Until I confirmed that I was ready, I solemnly raised my left hand and spread out the eight small stones in my hand. Then at a certain moment, my fingers were slightly bent, my wrists shook slightly, and the eight stones spread out one after another. However, when I was about to leave, they would be brought back by the other hand. The eight stones kept colliding, and the sound was deafening, but the stones still did not stop, but would go against each other, but would be knocked back again at the next moment, and occasionally Mars flashed and shone into my eyes.

After a long time, I spread my hands and there was only a pool of powder in my palm. I smiled and blew the powder into the air. But there was a pride in my eyes that could not be concealed - I guessed it right.

I have been in the temple for a long time and naturally received the influence of Buddhism. Therefore, I have never had any in-depth research on Taoism. But I just realized that I didn’t know what I did, and suddenly remembered the Taoist saying “Tao gave birth to one, one is Tai Chi; one is two, two is two yin; two is four, four is four images; four is eight, eight is eight, eight is eight trigrams; eight trigrams give birth to sixty-four, sixty-four, and the numbers of heaven and earth are prepared. All the things in the world take one as the basis, and they perform ten thousand in one, and they lose the numbers of the world and return to one.” A very famous saying in Taoism is that people who don’t pay much attention to it can simply say a general idea. And this is the point that the "mountain seal formation" uses. Thinking of this, I couldn’t help laughing, and I had to run out to tell them that I knew why the "mountain seal formation" came.

However, as soon as I took a half step out of the Zen gate, I heard Brother Shu floating in the air: "I figured out the general direction clearly, but unfortunately it was too simple. If you really want to learn "Closing the Mountain" for a while, I advise you to think more about it before you can achieve success." When Chuchu heard this sentence, I really didn't think anything was wrong. But after listening to Brother Shu, I made up my mind to practice the Mountain Seal Formation and would not let Namo and the others underestimate it.

After that... I regretted it. The "Shan Closing Formation" is really not something that our little men can learn easily. Without suitable array eyes and ideas is still a trivial matter. After all, I didn't really plan to lay out this array, but the biggest problem now is that I arranged the stones as I wanted, and then began to use my spiritual power to collide them together. However... I underestimated the "Shan Closing Formation". It was extremely harsh on the placement of various array points and array eyes, and the spiritual power in the array was also extremely particular. Even if the little spiritual power was blown away by the wind, the array was doomed to fail.

After failing for more than a thousand times, I was really going crazy. At this time, I finally recovered and stopped fighting with this thing. Instead, I continued with these years of failed experience and created a brand new formation. Even if I didn't get the "Shan Closing Formation" out, I would never be embarrassed. Although I still had a grudge against the "Shan Closing Formation" in my heart, who made me helpless?

I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the sunset outside. The redness of the sunset almost dyed most of the sky, decorating the sky in the west like a bride waiting to be married, which was particularly shy!
