The two of them paid homage to the previous protector together. Zhang Yande picked up the body and walked up the mountain. Not long after, he saw rows of floating coffins. Zhang Yande took out the same purple token as given to Ji Yiyun to sense the empty coffins, and lifted it with his own hands. Kai buried the guardian inside.
"Don't get close to those suspended coffins. Some of the corpses have psychic powers."
Back at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Yande warned Ji Yiyun, obviously not trusting him and fearing that he would cause trouble by running around.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I haven't lived enough yet! Why can't I think about it!"
Ji Yiyun knew all the ins and outs and would naturally not touch things he shouldn't touch.
"Okay! That book of formations and patterns, please read it more when you have time. It will be good for you!"
Zhang Yande reminded again, which showed that he still valued Ji Yiyun, otherwise he would not have reminded her again and again.
"I understand, I understand! Well... Mr. Zhang, I can't read bird seal script..."
Ji Yiyun took out the dusty book and opened it, and was confused when he saw it.
"So you are illiterate! Stop explaining, explanation is just a cover-up, you are illiterate!"
Seeing Ji Yiyun hesitate to speak, Zhang Yande said it twice seriously with a smile on his face.
"..."
I can’t have a pleasant chat today, okay! Ji Yiyun admitted that he was indeed illiterate when it came to bird seal script, so he had nothing to refute and could only ask for advice and study seriously.
"You don't understand this either. What's going on in your head?"
"This is very simple, and this is even simpler..."
"This is easy to understand at a glance, and normal people understand it..."
…
In the next week, Ji Yiyun faithfully followed Zhang Yande to learn bird seal script and was scolded countless times. Ji Yiyun seriously suspected that he took out this book just to see himself embarrassed. Fortunately, he learned things faster after practicing. , otherwise Ji Yiyun would have given up the idea of learning formations and patterns.
After learning the bird seal script, I just started chewing on the formation and Taoist pattern book. If I didn't understand anything, I could only endure being scolded and continue my education.
Unconsciously, after two months of walking, I have basically understood the formations and patterns. It is not an easy task to arrange them, because the formations and patterns require continuous practice and a process of trial and error correction.
Among the knowledge Ji Yiyun learned, formations and patterns were summed up by the ancients' observation of the general trend of the world. They were a bit like Yuan Tianshi, but they were not in the same systematic category.
The Yuantian Master arranges formation patterns based on the general trend of the dragon veins, the general trend of the stars, etc. Sometimes it does not require high levels of cultivation to use the power of all things in the world to set up formations. The most familiar name is cheating, cheating If you open it too much, there will be a punishment mechanism - unknown.
The formation pattern is based on one's own strength and the quality of the materials, forming a variety of artificially arranged general trends. For example, the depiction of the emperor formation. If you have not proven the Tao and become an emperor, you cannot depict a complete formation. The Emperor's formation pattern can only be drawn in terms of how many angles it has.
The teleportation array is also a type of formation pattern. If you are not the emperor, you cannot arrange the super teleportation five-color altar formation across the frontiers of the universe.
The realm below the king can only deploy short-distance cross-city teleportation arrays. The realm of kings can only deploy cross-domain teleportation arrays. The realms of saints, great saints, and quasi-emperors can only deploy teleportation arrays that span planets, rivers, and star fields. Teleportation array, of course, the formation below the emperor level can be used with insufficient materials and insufficient cultivation, and it can also be deployed across realms.
There are also various formations, such as hidden formations, tribulation-deceiving formations, spirit-gathering formations, defensive formations, spirit-locking formations, and so on... countless.
Ji Yiyun finally understood the profoundness of formations and patterns. This was a subject that monks had to learn over time.
Ji Yiyun selected some "small" formations that he can currently deploy with his cultivation, such as defense for personal retreat, concealment, spirit locking, spirit gathering formations, etc...
Far away from Zhang Yande who was practicing, he found a small earth mountain more than ten meters high and cleared an open space. Ji Yiyun used a three-foot green blade to dig out a "cave" that could accommodate a person's resting space.
After doing all this, Ji Yiyun began to practice the layout of the formation and Dao patterns. Sitting cross-legged in the cave, Ji Yiyun raised his hand and used his divine power to carve "*, ξ, φ, ψ, ζ, ぞ...", twisting and turning lines like ghost drawings. Appearing before our eyes, those symbols were like luminous tadpole characters, with the imprint of burning Taoist patterns emerging.
Because he was not used to writing in this way, he often made mistakes that caused the entire formation to collapse. Ji Yiyun could only slowly become familiar with this pattern and grasp its context.
Ji Yiyun did not ask to complete the engraving of the formation pattern again. Ji Yiyun started practicing from the most basic pattern engraving, like the radical of a word, and then began to become familiar with it stroke by stroke.
After walking out of the small cave, Ji Yiyun sat cross-legged on the top of the small mountain and began to slowly outline crooked lines in the void, sometimes carving out curved lines in the void. Those lines all exuded a halo of mist, like It's like jumping out of the void, full of spirituality.
After a long time, Ji Yiyun's surroundings were densely packed with crooked or flat patterns. He didn't stop until the space in front of, around, left, right and above Ji Yiyun was filled with dense patterns.
"Hmm... Not bad, it seems I still have talent!"
Ji Yiyun looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, nodded and smiled involuntarily.
Ji Yiyun knew that those line symbols that could emit misty halos were caused by the combination of his divine power and Dao patterns. If a complete formation Dao pattern could be drawn, they would be hidden automatically, because the complete formation Dao pattern The pattern has formed a complete closed loop, so it will no longer show up.
To use an analogy: Just like the closed loop of time and space in the world that is hidden by a transcendent person, it cannot be discovered by the outside world. Unless you are stronger than that transcendent person, you cannot discover it. If you discover it accidentally, you will be slaughtered by others. Unless someone takes the initiative to let you go, the same is true for the formation and Dao patterns. Unless your formation and Dao patterns are stronger than the opponent's, you can only rely on absolute strength to break through or get out. Otherwise, you have to pray that the formation is not killed.
Ji Yiyun casually erased the carved Dao pattern in the void. If it is not erased, it will not exist for long. It will collapse after consuming the divine power. Even if the complete formation Dao pattern can automatically absorb external power to maintain, it will still be damaged due to various It collapsed due to unexpected factors, but Ji Yiyun didn't have time to wait for it to dissipate. After erasing it, he started a new round of practice carving...
In fact, carving Dao patterns can train oneself in all aspects just like refining weapons. Otherwise, Ji Yiyun would not have neglected his cultivation just because of learning the Dao patterns of formations.
While Ji Yiyun was busy, two months passed unknowingly. After becoming familiar with and proficient in the basic Dao patterns, he stopped carving individual Dao patterns and began to carve complete formation Dao patterns.
