Chapter 160 If the Enemy Does Not Move, I Will Not Move
Six people stood in the mist, quietly observing the platform in front of them through the mist.
The platform seemed empty, but there was undoubtedly a hidden danger.
The six people exchanged glances for a while, and decided to retreat first.
The six people walked back carefully, their footsteps were as light as the wind, and they did not make the iron chain bridge shake at all.
When everyone returned to the platform, they first breathed a sigh of relief, and then their faces turned ugly.
Everyone was silent.
Han Yuan was also frowning and thinking.
This problem really stumped him.
He had just seen the power of the formation. If he fell into the formation, he would only be beaten.
Attacking the formation from outside would not work, and standing on the iron chain bridge was also in a dangerous area, and it was easy to be attacked and knocked down.
Others guarding the iron chain bridge would be able to defend the pass with one man.
Moreover, it was unclear how many people were in ambush, and their strength was uncertain.
Silence for a long time.
Wuyou Zhenren said: "Now I can only think of one way, that is - delay!"
Everyone looked over.
Wuyou Zhenren explained: "The purpose of those who enter here is to pass the level. They just want to make a few money before passing the first level. In the end, they all have to leave. Let's delay until they leave."
Everyone thought about it and nodded.
Ziyun Laozu nodded: "This method is feasible. In any case, they can't stay too long!"
Delay?
Beat the time?
This is indeed a method that is not a method.
It can be said that it is also the safest method.
Wuyou Zhenren said: "In this case, everyone should find a place to practice. Jiufeng, for safety, you continue to set up the formation!"
"OK!"
Jiufeng Zhenren had no objection and rearranged the formation.
Han Yuan was a little scratching his head. Practice?
His skills have long been able to operate on their own, and there is no need to practice deliberately. Moreover, his realm has reached perfection and can break through at any time, but this place is really not suitable for breakthroughs. He can only think about other things.
So, he took out a copy of "The Beginning of the Yellow-level Formation" and started reading it. With the Yunyang Sect's classics in hand, he had no shortage of basic skills. Moreover, other ancestors had also reaped the wealth of the Danxia Sect and also had a large number of classics and skills. He could learn formations, alchemy, and equipment refining here.
Two quarters of an hour later, Jiufeng Zhenren finished setting up the formation and saw Han Yuan studying the formation. He walked over with a smile: "Han boy, do you want to learn formations? Anyway, I have nothing to do, I can teach you!"
Han Yuan said happily: "Brother Jiufeng, are you really willing to teach me?"
Jiufeng Zhenren laughed and said: "You call me brother, how can I be stingy with teaching, but..."
"But what?" Han Yuan was puzzled.
"I'm not trying to discourage you, brother. This formation is very difficult. It includes formation text, astrology, numerology, graphic changes, logical deduction and other knowledge. It is extremely difficult. Even if you are a genius with good comprehension, such as my direct disciple, he is already a rare genius. It took him a month to comprehend a yellow-level low-grade formation. It took him ten years to comprehend a yellow-level high-grade formation. Now he is still studying the Xuan-level high-grade formation. It will take a hundred years to break through to the third-level formation master. So, you must be mentally prepared to learn the formation!"
Ziufeng Zhenren said in a very sincere tone, showing off his strength as a fourth-level formation master without a trace.
Han Yuan heard this and asked again: "I have learned a lot of spiritual texts. Are there any benefits to learning formations?"
"Spiritual texts?"
Jiufeng Zhenren thought for a moment and said: "There are definitely benefits, but the two are very different. Spiritual texts are the interpretation and application of the power of heaven and earth, while formations are the integration and change of the power of heaven and earth! The former only needs to know 'what', while the latter needs to understand 'why'. Do you understand what I mean?"
Han Yuan heard this and nodded thoughtfully.
Then he responded: "I just read "The Beginning of Formations". The most basic yellow-level formation, the maze forest formation, needs to adjust the position of trees to arrange the formation. Different mountain terrains and spiritual energy distributions have different tree arrangement directions. If you don't understand the principles, you can't even arrange this maze forest formation."
"That's right!" Jiufeng Zhenren smiled and said, "Take the maze forest formation as an example. If you have comprehended spiritual texts such as 'wood' and 'forest', it will be much easier to understand the mysteries of the formation. However, you still need to have the means of numerology deduction such as Bagua and Qixing to arrange the formation. So before learning the formation, you need to learn a deduction method first. The method of numerology!"
"I comprehended the "Eight Trigrams Calculation Method", but it is too difficult for you. Beginners can learn the "Yin Yang Two Changes Deduction Method". In fact, whether it is the Eight Trigrams, the Nine Palaces or the Yin Yang Method, you can calculate the changes of heaven and earth and the mysteries of the world when you practice deeply. However, the Yin Yang Method is easy to get started, difficult to master, and even more difficult to master. The Eight Trigrams and the Nine Palaces are difficult to get started, easy to master, but also difficult to master. You can learn Yin Yang first, then turn the Four Symbols, and then take the Eight Trigrams route. This is also my previous practice path."
Zhenren Jiufeng said, and handed over a jade slip, which was the "Yin Yang Two Changes Deduction Method".
Han Yuan thanked him, then took the jade slip, sat down and began to study.
After comprehending for half an hour, Han Yuan had a certain understanding of the deduction method.
In the Yin Yang Two Changes Deduction Method, all things have Yin and Yang, or Yang is strong and Yin is weak, showing positive, or Yin is strong and Yang is weak, showing negative.
Use the example of the maze array.
There are 32 nodes in the maze array, and each node has yin and yang changes. When yang is strong, it is a thoroughfare, and when yin is strong, it is a dead end.
Every two nodes form a formation text, which can be "yin and yang" or "yang yang".
In this way, 16 formation texts can be formed.
These formation texts can be arranged in sequence and combined in accordance with the laws of the operation of heaven and earth to arrange the maze array.
A novice formation master can use the exhaustive method to arrange and combine, and with time and luck, he can always arrange it.
However, high-level formations are very complicated, and there are tens of millions of possible combinations. It is obviously unrealistic to use the exhaustive method at this time.
"The Yin-Yang Two-Change Deduction Method" is to deduce the correct arrangement and combination according to the deduction method, and directly obtain the formation method, just like programming and solving mathematical equations.
In this process, the spiritual text does play a role. The spiritual text is like a known number in the equation, which greatly reduces the difficulty of deduction, making it easier to deduce the formation method.
Han Yuan was thoughtful, and immersed himself in the comprehension of "The First Explanation of the Formation" and "The Deduction Method of Yin and Yang Two Changes".
Master Jiufeng was looking forward to Han Yuan's performance. In his opinion, although Han Yuan was a genius in cultivation and had good comprehension, the formation was not something that could be comprehended casually. Once Han Yuan understood the difficulty of the formation, he would know how noble a fourth-level formation master should be!
