Chapter 400: The Way of Formation

Chapter 400: The Way of Formation

The runes of the formations in Tianhai Domain are different from those in Lingnan Domain. At present, the old demon Shenhua has set up a seal on Shenhua Mountain, which is different from the formation. Therefore, the seal in front of him is a completely new thing compared to the formations in Lingnan Domain.

Qin Ran used the pupil technique to create a fantasy world, and looked at the complex, strange and unfamiliar rune patterns on the mountain wall in front of him, and felt a little desperate.

Originally, relying on the mathematical knowledge in his previous life, he walked very easily in the field of formations and went very far.

If ordinary people learn formations like babies taking their first steps, then he can be said to be Bolt sprinting a hundred meters.

Because his method of learning formations is fundamentally different from that of ordinary people.

For people in this world, formations are similar to the traditional Chinese medicine in Qin Ran's previous life, which is an empirical subject.

The ancestors tried one medicine after another to find out which medicine had what effect; they tried one method after another to find out which method was effective for which disease.

Then they wrote it down and passed it on to future generations. Later generations relied on their records, their experiences, and their prescriptions to cure diseases and save lives, and then formed their own experiences.

Few people have studied in detail the specific mechanism of each medicine. What effect does it have when it enters the human body? This is a black box.

Formations are similar to this.

There were no formations in the cultivation world at first. Until the cultivators accidentally discovered that some natural environments that condensed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had some common factors, they wrote down these common points. Going to other places, they found that any place with such characteristics could condense spiritual energy; then, they artificially arranged that environment and found that it could also condense spiritual energy.

This is the original appearance of the spirit gathering formation.

Similar to this, there are more and more terrains with other functions, and these terrains are named formations.

Then, someone abstracted the characteristics of these terrains and obtained formation diagrams, which were simplified and turned into formation runes... basic formation patterns.

Formation patterns were created by cultivators one by one, and more and more formation patterns appeared in the cultivation world. Formations have developed.

In this process, similar to Chinese medicine, most of the cultivators only know what a certain formation is used for, what a certain basic formation pattern is used for, but do not know why the formation pattern and the combination of the formation pattern form this formation.

They learn one formation after another, not one formation pattern after another.

The master knows a certain formation, such as the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, and teaches this formation to the apprentice, and the apprentice only knows this formation.

If the master has reservations or has problems with his understanding and memory of the formation, then the formation learned by the apprentice will have problems, and he does not know what to do.

To use mathematics as an analogy, the teacher only teaches how to solve the current problem, but does not teach the solution ideas, does not analyze what kind of problem this is, and how to solve this type of problem.

Students remember how to solve this problem, but when the exam comes, the question changes slightly, and they don’t know how to solve it. It is even exaggerated to the point that the question only changes the numbers, but the formula is the same, which will make the students at a loss.

This can be said to be dull and not flexible enough to learn, but it can also be said that the teacher is lazy when teaching. The formation should be learned from the basic formation patterns, and then the formation patterns should be used to deduce the formation. But this is too difficult. The disciples can't learn it, and the teachers can't teach it, so they just memorize the complete formation.

Qin Ran is just a student who learns more flexibly. He has the innate advantage brought by mathematics. He starts from the basic runes, and can use mathematics to deduce the formation with runes; deduce the formation with the basic formation.

In the field of formation, Qin Ran is probably a student who can reason out formulas by himself.

But what he is facing now is that the basic formation patterns of Tianhai Domain have developed more wildly than Lingnan Domain, and they are not systematic. He doesn't know the basic formation patterns in this seal.

A huge formation composed of basic formation patterns that he doesn't know and he has never seen before, the difficulty of breaking this formation is too great.

He must first learn all the formation patterns involved in this seal, and then reverse the formation based on the formation patterns here. Then he can break the formation.

Not to mention that his calculation power is not enough to calculate this seal, just to find this seal... all the basic array patterns of the entire Shenhua Mountain are not something he can do in a short time.

So at this moment, Qin Ran looked at the array patterns hidden in the mountain wall and was desperate.

"It's not that I can't break the seal according to my method, but it takes too long." He suppressed his despair and looked at the huge pit on the side, "It seems that I have to rely on the island owner's arrangement for so many years.

"But how does the island owner's arrangement break the seal? How can I get this thing? But I still need to think about it from the beginning..."

He retracted his gaze and turned to look at the other night walkers, and found that they had scattered in the cave, each dealing with their injuries.

"No matter how to break the seal, these people are obstacles."

He looked at the night walkers scattered around the cave, thinking about how to kill them all.

"If I fight head-on, I may not have a chance of winning in a 1v1. In the end, I still have to poison. "

Poisoning, you have to be poisonous.

"Fortunately, when I was refining the elixir before, I accidentally mixed some medicinal materials." He couldn't help but feel lucky that the alchemist had this traditional virtue. "Although it is impossible to refine other poisons, according to the pharmacological structure of the Death Pill, it can still be used These medicinal materials are used to refine a simplified version of the death pill.

While planning in his mind, he looked at the night walkers in the cave as if they were prey.

Four night walkers were killed in tonight's operation, and there are still twenty-seven night walkers in the cave, plus nine monks who don't know what they are doing sitting cross-legged next to the giant pit, plus Tie Ruonan and the man in red. , there are a total of thirty-eight people in this cave.

"There is a little shortage of medicinal materials, and the elixir I have produced may not be enough for me to kill so many people..."

As he watched, he suddenly discovered that the night walkers in the cave didn't seem to be very familiar with each other. Some are even wary of each other.

This reminded him of the Nightcrawlers who went out on hunting missions last night and tonight. They all fought alone, and he didn't see anyone cooperating to kill... Obviously, cooperation in hunting is more efficient.

Now even if they were dealing with wounds, they were alone.

He thought for a while, looked at the corpses slowly disappearing in the huge pit on the side, and had some understanding: This huge pit only needs the body of the body refiner, whose body is it? It's not picky.

"In this case, it's not bad. It will be more convenient for me to deal with it later."

This is rare good news.

After scanning the cave a few times, Qin Ran also found a place where there was no one around.

However, as soon as he walked over and sat down, he heard someone shouting to him: "Hey! That kid..."

He looked around and saw Tie Ruonan talking towards him. He wasn't sure if he was talking to him, so he checked it before getting up and walking towards Tie Ruonan.

"Captain!" he asked, "What's the matter?"

He did not pretend to be groveling, because his character was that of a dead warrior, or a killer, who came to Shenhua Mountain specifically to kill people. This kind of person is a desperado and will not be humble.

Tie Ruonan glanced at him and asked, "What's your name?"

Upon hearing this question, Qin Ran called out vigilantly: "Captain!" and then quietly signaled to other night walkers with his eyes.

Tie Ruonan was stunned for a moment and realized that although the people here were all dead soldiers, it was best to hide their identities. She nodded to show her understanding and smiled: "Quite cautious."

"I still have a wife and children at home, so I have no choice." Qin Ran made nonsense.

Of course, this is not because he is worried about his substitute's identity being exposed, but because he doesn't know the name of his substitute at all, so he speaks like this.

...The murder situation was urgent at the time, and he didn't have time to search for souls.

"You are very strong." Tie Ruonan said, "Although the young island owner of Evil Shark Island is a playboy who does not do his job properly, he is still relatively strong in the realm of a second-grade body refiner. You can actually kill him, and you can It’s rare to come back alive.”

"Compared with the captain, it's still far behind." Qin Ran replied.

"Ha!" Tie Ruonan said with a smile, "You actually flatter me... There are people like you here who know how to flatter me."

Qin Ran felt a chill in his heart, smiled, and didn't answer any more.

Tie Ruonan casually took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Qin Ran, saying: "Here is a bottle of blood-replenishing pill for you. I hope you can survive to the end of this mission."

"?"

Qin Ran was directly confused. He was worried about not having enough medicinal materials just now, and Tie Ruonan was going to send him elixirs... Didn't he know that elixirs could also be used as medicinal materials to refine elixirs?

Could this Tie Ruonan be a traitor to Dragon Whale Island?

He quickly thanked me, and his gratitude came from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you very much, captain."

"No need..." Tie Ruonan responded casually.

The two of them were not familiar with each other, and this was not a suitable place for chatting.

After Qin Ran got the elixir, he returned to where he was just now.

As soon as he sat down against the wall, he noticed that other night walkers were looking at the elixir in his hand intentionally or unintentionally. I'm afraid he's thinking about how to take this bottle of healing elixir away from him.

Seeing this, he sneered inwardly.

"Want a pill?" He raised his hand, poured out a pill, and threw it into his mouth, "I'll give it to you."

Instead, the medicine bottle disappeared in his hand.
