Chapter 177 Arrangement
Father Lin and Mother Lin heard the noise outside and slowly woke up from trance.
When the two of them came outside the house, they were happy to see Lin Mu coming back.
Then he looked at Yunmeng and Jin Gu, with doubts on their faces again.
Lin Mu introduced the two of them to his parents with a busy smile: "This is Junior Sister Yunmeng, and I am an old friend. We haven't seen each other for many years, and we met again by chance. I heard that we are here to practice meditation, and I was yearning for it, so I followed."
Father Lin and Mother Lin looked at Yunmeng, very satisfied, with smiles on their faces. Mother Lin smiled and said: "Just treat this place as your own home, don't be restrained."
Yunmeng's face turned red with embarrassment, and she hurriedly bowed her head and prayed.
Lin Mu's face turned red, and he distracted his parents' attention. He pointed at Jin Gu and said, "This is Jin Gu, the formation master I invited, who came specifically to set up the mountain protection formation."
Father Lin smiled and said: "Welcome, please help me a lot."
Jin Gu smiled and said: "Senior, don't be polite, I will do my best."
Father Lin's cultivation was only in the middle stage of foundation building, while Jin Gu was in the late stage of foundation building, but he regarded himself as a junior, giving Lin Mu face.
Mother Lin greeted warmly: "Don't stand outside, come inside and talk."
Several people entered the room and sat down together. Father Lin and Mother Lin were busy making tea and were very busy.
Lin Mu, Jin Gu, Shitou and Yunmeng sat down and talked.
After some polite greetings, Lin Mu took a sip of tea and asked Jin Gu with a smile: "I wonder how long it will take for this "Golden Stone Formation" to be completed?"
Jin Gu put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "If everything goes well, it will be completed in three days."
Lin Mu's face was filled with joy and he said with a smile: "That's great. You must be exhausted from traveling all the way. Let's take a rest tonight and set up the formation again when we have enough energy tomorrow."
Jin Gu naturally would not refuse and nodded in agreement with a smile.
Father Lin went to the Lake of Fog to catch some big fish and came back. Mother Lin made a pot of delicious fish soup and they had a full meal.
It was getting late, and Lin Mu suddenly remembered that now that there were two more people, the four wooden houses were no longer enough.
After calling Shitou and his father, the three of them worked hard and built two wooden houses again.
Each wooden house is equipped with wooden tables, chairs, and beds, which are made from local materials, which is quite economical.
They said good night to each other and went back to their houses to rest.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Jin Gu began to set up his formation.
Lin Mu took Jin Gu to check out the island in the middle of the lake. Jin Gu understood clearly and had a rough idea of the formation.
The method of formation is broad and profound, and surveying the terrain is only the first step.
This step may seem ordinary, but it is actually extremely important.
Many formation masters are busy improving their formation skills and purchasing high-end formation equipment all day long, but the power of the formations they deploy is often unsatisfactory.
Some people have been studying formations painstakingly for decades, but their formation skills are not necessarily very good.
The reason is that most formation masters are only busy studying the operation of formations, the balance of spiritual power, and the changes in the interdependence of the five elements. Very few people can study the terrain.
Jin Gu is the complete opposite. His research on the operation of formations may not be as good as other third-level formation masters.
But Jin Gu has a unique understanding of the terrain.
Many cultivators in the Lingji period have been working hard for decades, but they are still unable to set up a third-level formation.
Jin Gu's cultivation is only in the foundation building stage, but he can easily arrange third-level formations.
The essence of the formation is actually two words, take advantage of the situation!
Borrowing the power of heaven and earth, it can be used by cultivators.
The size of the power of heaven and earth is closely related to the paradise of cave heaven and earth.
The higher the level of Cave Heaven Paradise, the stronger the power of the formation.
On the contrary, the power of the formation will be smaller.
The reason why Jin Gu has reached this point is because he is good at taking advantage of situations.
Many formation masters have too little understanding of the power of heaven and earth, and the formations they deploy are superficial, unable to unleash the true power of the formations.
Jin Gu is much better than others in this aspect.
After surveying the terrain, Jin Gu made a decision in his mind and immediately began to busy setting up the formation.
The layout of the mountain guard formation is different from the general formation, and the requirements are higher.
Ordinary formations are mostly arranged using formation symbols, which are simple and easy to complete, but are much less powerful.
The mountain-protecting formation is completely different, with formations and flags mostly used.
Using formations and flags can give full play to the power of formations, but the arrangement is cumbersome and takes too long, making it impractical for on-the-spot confrontations with the enemy.
Lin Mu followed Jin Gu, watching how he set up the formation and supervising at the same time.
He didn't know much about the battles. If Jin Gu was passive and sabotaged his work, finished things hastily, and left with the spirit stone afterwards, he wouldn't have anywhere to cry.
Seeing Jin Gu setting up the formation with his own eyes, Lin Mu felt more at ease.
Jin Gu began to be busy placing the array disks in different positions, high or low, up or down, in an orderly manner.
The formation flags were also placed at different locations on the island according to strange patterns.
The positions of the formation flags were fixed from the very beginning and could not be mistaken at all.
The six hundred and thirty-six formation disks and one hundred and twenty-eight formation flags must be placed in the correct position.
Only in this way can the power of heaven and earth be stimulated and form a cycle that lasts for a long time.
Otherwise, all previous efforts will be wasted.
This is a hard job, and no one else can help. Jin Gu can only do it himself.
Jin Gu already knew the location of each formation flag.
But burying them underground is very particular.
Some formation disks need to be buried three feet underground, while others only need to be placed on the surface.
The same is true for the formation flags, which are different in height and well-proportioned.
It took Jin Gu three days to place all the formation flags in the proper positions.
After completing this step, Jin Gu did not relax, but became more solemn.
The most important step is coming soon.
The layout of the formation eye is extremely important to a formation.
The formation flags that were buried before were all used to build momentum for the formation eye.
The more opportunities the formation plate and flag take advantage of, the greater the power the formation eye can exert.
"Golden Stone Formation" is a third-grade formation, which has its own unique features.
The double formation eyes are its characteristics.
The Golden Scale Shuttle is the main attack, and the Earth Sky Turntable is the main defense. There are rules between attack and defense.
Jin Gu's face was solemn, and he activated his spiritual power. All the formation flags he had buried before shook. The formation slowly started, and a wave of spiritual power came out from the formation flags.
The fluctuations of each formation flag are tiny, and these tiny fluctuations converge towards the center of the formation little by little.
The white mist surged, the fluctuations became more and more violent, and bursts of spiritual power shone.
Jin Gu controls every formation disk and every formation flag, and all spiritual energy fluctuations are constantly gathering towards him.
There are 636 formation disks and 128 formation flags. The spiritual power fluctuations are gathering more and more. Where Jin Gu is, the white mist has formed a huge vortex and is slowly flowing.
Beads of sweat rolled down Jin Gu's forehead. This step to start the formation was extremely difficult for him.
After all, he is only in the late stage of foundation building, and his cultivation is not as good as those in the spiritual silence stage. When starting the formation, he cannot be relaxed and comfortable.
Pieces of spiritual energy fluctuations are like a tide, constantly flowing towards Jin Gu's location.
The light flashes and the white mist changes.
boom!
Jin Gu suddenly threw out two magic weapons, one golden and one gray.
It is the Golden Scale Shuttle and the Earth Sky Turntable.
All the fluctuations of spiritual energy were directed towards these two magic weapons. The golden scale shuttle's golden light flourished, and the dazzling golden light traveled unhindered through the white mist and spread into the distance. The Tuxiao turntable is gray and hazy.
Washed by waves of spiritual power, the two magical instruments glowed brighter and brighter, and bursts of clear chirping sounds continued to come from the two magical instruments.
The eye formation is formed!
This great formation has been set up!
Jin Gu's eyes moved and he controlled the Golden Scale Shuttle. A dazzling golden light emitted from the Golden Scale Shuttle and flew straight into the Lake of Mist.
boom!
The water waves were rising one after another, and the waves were several feet high. The entire island in the middle of the lake was almost submerged in the water waves.
Lin Mu looked happy when he saw the power of the golden scale shuttle.
Jin Gu said to Lin Mu again: "You can try attacking."
When Lin Mu heard this, he immediately took out the Five Elements Ring, made a seal with both hands, and a big fireball flying out of the Five Elements Ring went straight to Jin Gu.
The fireball was extremely hot, and the surrounding white mist was dried.
Jin Gu looked at the powerful fireball and smiled calmly.
Jin Gu suddenly activated his spiritual power, and the Tuxiao Turntable cloth continued to grow and rotate. As soon as the fireball hit the Tuxiao Turntable, it suddenly flew out under the huge rotation force.
The fireball fell into the lake, white mist rose from the water, and the fireball gradually extinguished in the vast water.
Lin Mu looked at the extinguished fireball and the billowing white mist, and his face became even more joyful.
The power of this "Golden Stone Formation" is indeed extraordinary.
Whether it is attack or defense, it is far beyond his strength.
Coming to a cultivator in the spiritual silence stage is no different than seeking death.
Jin Gu thought about it and removed his spiritual power. All the fluctuations in the formations, formations and flags were suppressed, and everything returned to calm.
A white mist rose from the island.
This white mist is an illusion from the "Golden Stone Formation" and is completely different from the white mist on the island itself.
Before, standing in mid-air, I could still vaguely see the island.
Nowadays, the "Golden Stone Formation" protects the entire island in the middle of the lake. Outsiders can only see a burst of white mist, and nothing else can be seen.
The two magical instruments, the Golden Scale Shuttle and the Earth Sky Turntable, were all buried in the soil and disappeared.
All the formation flags were also hidden in the air, looking like a white mist, and nothing could be seen anymore.
Jin Gu smiled and said, "It's done!"
Father Lin, Mother Lin, Shitou, and Yunmeng all walked out of the house and looked at the misty formation with joy on their faces.
Once the formation is completed, we will no longer have to worry about safety issues on the island in the future.
Lin Mu was smiling, very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Thank you very much. I have worked hard for three days in a row."
Jin Gu waved his hand and said with a smile: "I promise to help you set up the formation, and I will do my best. How powerful is this formation? Are you satisfied?"
Lin Mu smiled but did not answer. He reached out and took out eighty middle-grade spiritual stones from his storage bag, put them in a blue cloth bag and handed them to Jin Gu.
"These eight thousand spiritual stones will be considered as your reward." Lin Mu said with a smile.
Jin Gu was not polite, took the green cloth bag, counted it, and put it into the storage bag.
"I won't be polite to you anymore." Jin Gu said with a smile: "If you still need it in the future, you can go to Linwufang to find me again. As long as it is within the scope of my ability, I will respond to your request."
Jin Gu casually handed another jade slip to Lin Mu: "This jade slip records the control method of the "Golden Stone Formation". You only need to practice according to it, and you will be able to control it freely in less than three to five days."
With a smile on his face, Lin Mu took the jade slip and put it in his storage bag.
Jin Gu smiled and said: "The formation has been set up, let's leave now, see you later."
Lin Mu didn't hold back and said with a smile: "See you later."
Jin Gu smiled and nodded to a few people, then took out his flying sword and flew out of the white mist.
