At the foot of Fanghe Peak, Liu Xiaolou handed over a list. Butler Zhao looked at the seven materials displayed on the list for a moment, with a slightly troubled look on his face: "This kind of black bird stone... is not easy to find."
Liu Xiaolou had no explanation and couldn't answer. This was the third batch of spiritual materials list listed by Tang Song. Whether the Zhao family could get it together had nothing to do with him. If he really couldn't get it together, of course he should talk to Tang Song.
Butler Zhao also knew that there was nothing he could do to talk to him, so he could only sigh and said: "Please tell Master Tang that we will try our best."
Liu Xiaolou turned around and left. After walking for a while, he turned around and looked back at the three peaks of Fanghe, which were wrapped with jade belts and cascading waterfalls. He couldn't help but feel fascinated: It would be great if he could go to the top of the peak to see it.
Returning to Banshanping, he chanted to Tang: "The Zhao family promised to do their best to collect these materials."
Tang Song withdrew his gaze from the "Five Talismans", frowned and asked, "Try your best?"
Liu Xiaolou said: "It seems that the black bird stone is more difficult to find."
Tang Song closed the "Five Talisman", stood up and left: "This is not a matter of trying your best... I'm going to see Elder Zhao. There may be an array master coming up the mountain today. You can test it as appropriate."
Liu Xiaolou was stunned: "How can I compare with others with my shallow moral skills?"
Tang chanted: "If you are above the basic level, you don't need to take a test. If you are below the basic level, you can just choose the questions at will."
Liu Xiaolou complained secretly, wondering what he was going to ask for? Suddenly I caught a glimpse of the "Five Talismans" left by Tang Song. I looked in the direction in which Tang Song was going and saw his figure disappearing down the hillside. I felt like I had found a treasure and quickly opened it and read it.
If it doesn't work, just look for questions from the book.
He had heard Qingzhu mention this formation book several times. When Qingzhu was explaining the Golden Slip Formation Essentials, he would occasionally explain it with the meaning of the scriptures in the Five Talismans. He knew that this formation book was extensive and profound, but he thought at the time When asking to read it, Qingzhu said that there were very few copies of this formation book in existence, and even she didn't have one, so it was "abandoned" to this day.
But now that I had the opportunity, I naturally picked up "Five Talismans" without hesitation and quickly made up for the lessons.
"Five Talismans" has more than 1,800 words, fifteen or six pages, all written in small regular script, and there are some annotations between the lines. Judging from the handwriting, it should be Tang Song's own experience in writing. These densely packed words are extremely obscure, as if The words "tiger and wolf" made Liu Xiaolou's scalp numb.
It took a whole day for Liu Xiaolou to finish reading. Fortunately, he refined the formation plate twice before and after, especially after practicing the formation for three months day and night with Qingzhu, so he had a certain foundation. Combined with Tang Song's annotations, he looked at it vaguely and seemed to understand something. Understand.
The benefits of practicing practice are that it refreshes the mind and improves memory. Since he couldn't understand, he started to memorize it by rote. It took him two hours, but he could only memorize it roughly.
How can I compare with others when I am not even a dabbler at it? Therefore, he was looking forward to Tang Song coming back quickly after meeting Elder Zhao, so as not to make a fool of himself.
But that's how things are in the world, whatever you're afraid of will come to you. In the evening, Tang Song didn't come back, but the steward at the foot of the mountain attracted an applied formation master.
This formation master looks to be in his thirties, and he is Liu Xiaolou's descendant. His name is Liu Daoran. He claims to be a monk in Bazhong, and is a fellow villager with Tang Song. However, he is not recommended by a high-ranking family. He belongs to a poor family. I heard that Tang Song was in charge of the refining formation, so I came all the way to apply. When asked, he was at the eighth level of Qi Refining and claimed to have been studying formations for thirteen years.
Liu Xiaolou politely delayed the time: "Your Majesty has just gone up the mountain, so you must be hungry. Let's have some food and rest first, and then we can decide whether..."
Liu Daoran shook his head and said: "Thank you for your kindness. It doesn't matter. I have been studying the self-questioning formation for many years. I dare not say that I know everything, and it usually can't trouble me. I can come up with questions at a single step. I have decided on this spiritual stone. !”
Seeing that he was so confident, Liu Xiaolou was shocked. Liu Xiaolou smiled calmly on his face, but felt extremely weak in his heart. He coughed dryly, thought about it, and simply selected the last content of "Five Talismans". One asked: "What is the state of Zhu Dan's three qi heavens?"
Liu Daoran was startled: "Zhu Dan's Three Qi Heaven?"

Liu Xiaolou nodded: "Yes, please explain it."
Liu Daoran was stunned for a long time, his face gradually turned red, and he asked: "Do you know what the explanation is?"
Liu Xiaolou recited the annotation of Tang Dynasty: "The smoke is like the bud of crimson clouds in the white sun, and its light is like the reflection of black jade in the flowing abyss. Below is the red pool of red spring, above is the Zhu Palace of Immortality, and in the room is the Taiyuan Palace." The Danyu Girl lives on the three mountains of the sun."
Liu Xiaolou roughly understood the literal meaning of these annotations, but he didn't know how to achieve them in the formation and what their effects were. He didn't even know what the so-called "Tai Dan Jade Girl" meant. After reciting it, he actually didn't understand it. There was a bit of expectation, hoping that Liu Daoran would follow the words and explain to himself.
It's a pity that Liu Daoran did not explain, but frowned and thought hard. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly handed over his hands: "Farewell!"
Liu Xiaolou was stunned: "Fellow Daoist Liu..."
Liu Daoran looked ashamed: "I have never seen an expert in the past. My eyes are higher than the top, like a frog in a well. I am so boastful and make the Fang family laugh. I should practice hard after I come down from the mountain and come back for advice after I have made some progress."
Liu Xiaolou was unsure before, and he was equally unsure after he stumped someone. He thought to himself that he didn't come up with random questions, right?
"Wait a minute, fellow Taoist! I have one more question here. I'll think about it after I answer it... In the sky disk, if people are used to solve the formation, how can we solve it?"
This is the content in "Jin Jian Zhen Yao". If you still can't answer it, then you are not making up the questions randomly.
This time Liu Daoran answered: "The head is round like the sky, the feet are like the earth, the hair is the stars, the eyes are the sun and the moon, the eyebrows are the Big Dipper, the ears are the grain, the nose is the hills, the mouth is the rivers, the teeth are the jade, and the limbs are the four seasons. . The Five Elements of the Five Internal Organs are five stars at the top, five mountains at the bottom, ascending to five clouds, and transforming into five dragons. This is the same as the formation, and both the beginning and the end, as well as the inside and outside, must be taken into consideration."
This answer is close to what Qingzhu taught at that time. Although the words are different and the sentences are often changed, the general idea is the same. Qingzhu once said that once you understand this principle and understand its changes, you can develop and create a magic circle.
Liu Daoran's answer showed that he understood the truth. It depends on whether he understood the changes, but that was when he actually started refining the array. Now, what he needs to decide is whether to let him stay?
Liu Xiaolou gritted his teeth and decided to stay. After all, there were only a few people who dared to apply for the job in such a grand manner as he had only a partial understanding of it. Liu Daoran was probably a bit overweight.
"Well, it's not easy to answer this question. You can stay."
"Then...thank you..."
Liu Daoran also knew that he had spoken too much before, and the slap in the face was really ugly, but he came all the way here for a commission, and even if he broke his promise and got fat, he could only gain weight first.
"Fellow Taoist can go to Zhiduoling to settle down. The main formation there has not yet arrived, so we have to wait for a few days. While waiting, fellow Taoist can memorize this list first, and if possible, you can also deal with it first. spiritual material."
Liu Daoran had lost his arrogance and seemed somewhat restrained in front of Liu Xiaolou. He nodded in agreement and then asked, "I don't know how to get to Zhidunling?"
Liu Xiaolou said: "Let's go, I will take you there right now."
"How dare you..." Liu Daoran was a little frightened and asked cautiously: "Dare you ask your Majesty?"
Liu Xiaolou smiled and said: "You and I are the same family. My surname is Liu. Liu Xiaolou is Master Tang's... assistant... um..."
Liu Daoran suddenly became solemn: "Disrespect! Disrespect!"
