Time always passes very quickly during the days of cultivation.

After a heavy rain at the end of summer, autumn comes silently.

Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past six months, Tang Jie followed Xu Muyang to clean the meridians and practiced the formation, and his life was fulfilled.

Today, Tang Jie was boxing in the yard.

He was now exercising a set of Tongbang Fist, which was taught by Xu Muyang, and used to cleanse the meridians with the Zangxiang Sutra.

At this moment, he was beaten with great force, and spiritual energy flowed through his body from time to time, wandering through his body. Every time the spiritual energy flowed throughout his body, the feeling that Tang Jie brought was extremely comfortable, and at the same time, his body was stronger and stronger.

Xu Muyang said this was a manifestation that his meridians had not yet expanded to their limits.

After a punch, Tang Jie felt the spiritual energy in his body disappearing little by little, and he felt reluctant to leave.

He can continue to practice, but Xu Muyang once said that practicing is not as diligent as possible. Too strong and domineering training will lead to overdrawing the human potential, and may even hurt yourself and leave hidden dangers. The best way is to combine work and rest.

So he could only stop now, but couldn't help but sigh and said, "I don't know when this day will end."

"Why? Can't wait?" Xu Muyang in the pavilion was painting on paper with a pen, but he was drawing some strange array patterns. At this moment, he heard Tang Jie's statement and laughed: "For you, the day of washing the pulse and laying the foundation may be boring, but do you know how many cultivators are looking forward to God giving him a chance to come back."

"Brother Xu taught me a lesson." Tang Jie hurriedly replied.

Looking back at the student days, I don’t know how many students yearn for the days when they run to society earlier and get out of the cage of school. Only after exploring in society and getting bleeding from the head, will they recall the beauty of school life.

Tang Jie is a person who has experienced a lifetime. Although that lifetime did not bring him any powerful golden fingers, he has a rich understanding of life, which makes his thinking break free from the shackles of age early, and knows deeply what is the most important thing. The sigh just now was just a temporary expression of helplessness. He really made him give up laying the foundation and practicing directly, so he would not do it.

Xu Muyang has seen many disciples of immortal cultivation before, who can't stand loneliness and boredom. Even the talented people often practice hard every day because of their eagerness to practice as soon as possible.

In the world of immortal cultivation, there are not many practitioners who practice immortal techniques without laying a solid foundation. The most are those who do not care about their bodies in order to achieve success as soon as possible, and hold a little luck to help them grow.

Therefore, he admired Tang Jie's calmness very much.

At this moment, he smiled and said, "After practicing boxing, let's learn today's formation."

Tang Jie couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Like medical skills, array art is also a knowledge that has greater knowledge than technical reserves, so it does not require any restraint.

In the past six months, Tang Jie's Zangxiang Sutra has only been practicing twice a day, and it only took half an hour to add up. Most of the time it is used to learn the formation.

Sometimes Tang Jie would doubt whether Xu Muyang deliberately used this method to divert his interests and hobbies?

Compared with the slow progress of the pulse washing, Tang Jie can be said to have made great progress in learning the formation path.

This is not entirely because he has a good mathematical foundation.

The formation itself covers almost everything, including Yi principles, art, geography, and weather. Considering the existence of some ancient formations, history and humanities are even added, art is only one of the components.

The key is his adult thinking, which makes him learn much faster than an average twelve-year-old boy. People often say that children have strong learning ability, but their strong learning ability means that they have been imitating, but their knowledge tolerance is far inferior to adults.

The content of a primary school student learning in one year is not as large as that of a high school student learning in one month.

Therefore, Tang Jie's learning on the formation was rapid, and the memory ability and skills brought by the examination-oriented education laid a good foundation for him. In just half a year, Tang Jie almost mastered all the basic knowledge needed for the formation, which made Xu Muyang praise him.

At this moment, Xu Muyang swung his hand, and the previously drawn array pattern talisman record had flown into Tang Jie's hands: "Plan the formation according to this picture."

"Spiritual measurement array?" Tang Jie looked at the array diagram. Now he could clearly distinguish the functions of each array diagram. This spirit measurement array is used to test the direction of spiritual energy in the surrounding world, so as to facilitate cultivators to find a place with abundant spiritual energy to practice. It is also one of the simplest array diagrams.

Usually, cultivators themselves also have the technique of expecting Qi, but the formation is in line with the principles of heaven and earth, but the effect is much stronger than the technique of expecting Qi.

"Yes, this time you must arrange a complete and usable spiritual measurement array, and the range must reach three miles."

"I understand." Tang Jie replied seriously, and raised his hand, and a spiritual light shot out from his hand, forming a spiritual line in the air and landing on the ground.

His jade door has been opened and he can breathe spiritual energy, but his spiritual eyes have not been opened and cannot be stored. Therefore, as long as he uses it before it dissipates after absorbing the spiritual energy, he can still use it to arrange the spiritual array. However, such a formation method is extremely inconsistent and cannot be completed in one go. The effect is limited and the efficiency is outrageous, and its performance is basically the same as that of a child.

At this moment, Tang Jie was drawing the formation strokes and drawings, and Xu Muyang observed it from time to time, giving him some advice.

After an entire time, the formation was finally drawn. Tang Jie inputted a spiritual energy to activate it. He saw a wave of strange clouds and mist appearing in the formation, churning up and down, and a trace of white air columns rose up.

"Success!" Tang Jie shouted happily.

The appearance of a qi column means that the formation has been successful. Those qi columns represent the surrounding spiritual energy. The array patterns have scales, and different scales represent different positions. The qi columns are large and small, and the colors are also different in depth, representing the different content of spiritual energy.

This is his first formation, with a range of only three miles. If Xu Muyang takes action on his own, he can complete it in a moment, and his spiritual measurement range will reach thousands of miles.

At this moment, Tang Jie looked at the wisp of air column rising in the formation and felt extremely happy. When he thought that half a year of hard work finally achieved results, he couldn't help but feel grateful to Xu Muyang from the bottom of his heart. This even made him feel that the time wasted formation was no longer so annoying, but instead felt that it was quite desirable.

Many things will only be truly loved after enjoying their achievements.

Xu Muyang was also deeply satisfied with this: "The connection of the array patterns is still extremely flawed. The array patterns are places where spiritual energy passes. You can't just draw them. You also need to unblock the array patterns so that the spiritual energy passes without any obstacles. Look at this array pattern, you have made two paintings before and after, and broken marks have appeared in the middle. On the surface, they are connected together, but in fact there is only a trace of the passable route of spiritual energy. Array layout is not a drawing, nor is it just neat pattern. What is really important is the inner. Look here, here and here... Although there are reasons why your spiritual energy is not enough to support continuous array layout, there are also reasons why your technique is unfamiliar."

"Well, I understand, that is, the road needs to be cleared. No matter how wide the road is, if it is not well guided, it will still be blocked. Sometimes a breakpoint will cause the entire road to be paralyzed."

"Yes. Also, you are too shallow in terms of Yi theory. The spiritual measurement array is a formation for observing spiritual energy. Since it is an observation array, you should strengthen the operation of the Ganmen. The Ganmen is the sky, sits in the center of the square altar, and listens to the energy of the eight directions. Therefore, the spiritual measurement array should be mainly based on the Ganmen. What do you do to strengthen the Xunmen?"

Tang Jie scratched his head embarrassedly: "Xun Gate is wind, light and agile, and it is responsible for changes and distance. I think you require this spiritual measuring array to be able to observe three miles away, so..."

"Sweep the original and seek the final result!" Xu Muyang criticized without hesitation: "What you need to do is to layout the spirit-testing array, rather than simply satisfying my requirements!"

"Yes, I understand." Tang Jie replied seriously.

Cultivating immortality is not an exam-oriented education. While benefiting from previous life experience, Tang Jie was also restricted by his previous life thinking. Fortunately, Xu Muyang pointed it out in time, which made him understand his mistakes.

At this moment, Xu Muyang continued to explain to him the various shortcomings of this formation. When it came to its rise, spiritual lines were shot out from his fingers to repair the spirit measurement array for Tang Jie. Under his repair, the spirit measurement array became larger and larger and the radiation range became wider. Not only were the clouds and mists tumbling like the sea, but even the mountains could be vaguely seen, which seemed to have included the entire world in a squat, and everything was under control.

In Xu Muyang's hand, this spiritual measurement array became a reflection of the real world. Tang Jie was shocked, but Xu Muyang was distracted and said, "The waves are connected, and many times it may be just a small change, and the formation is completely different. The spiritual measurement array can also reflect the world and become a great thousand formation. Not only the spiritual measurement array, but other formations can also be used. The combinations, changes and improvements are extremely complex and mysterious. You may not be able to study them all after a lifetime. Do you still want to say that you are not interested in it?"

Tang Jie laughed: "I know I'm wrong. I will study hard in the future and improve every day!"

Xu Muyang was so funny that he was talking about it. He was about to say something else when suddenly a purple light flashed in the formation.

Xu Muyang was slightly stunned and looked into the formation, and saw a faint glow in the formation.

"Purple Qi soars into the sky?" Xu Muyang blurted out and his face changed drastically.

"Purple Qi soars into the sky? What is that?" Tang Jie was still short of his time to cultivate immortals and did not understand the meaning.

Xu Muyang didn't speak and fell into deep thought.

"What happened? Brother Xu." Tang Jie saw that Xu Muyang's expression was wrong and asked with concern.

Xu Muyang pondered for a moment, then suddenly chuckled and said, "It's nothing, you don't need to ask about this. Oh, by the way, you have been together for half a year, but you seem to have never had a drink together? Your first successful formation today is also a celebration. So, you go out to buy some wine and food. Today, we two will be singing to the moon and have a drink here. Oh, by the way, I want the duck that Lao Chen remembers."

"But Chen Ji is in Anyang Mansion." Tang Jie replied with some embarrassment.

"Then let's go there, what's the matter?" Xu Muyang waved his hand casually to answer.

"It's getting late, so it's not suitable to go to Anyang Mansion now. Moreover, Chen Ji's ducks have always been very good, and they usually can't be sold at night."

Xu Muyang's face was stagnant, and Tang Jie said, "But there is aging in the kitchen, which was left by the owner of the house earlier. In addition, two chickens were raised in the backyard. If Brother Xu wants to eat it, I will go and slaughter and serve Brother Xu."

As he spoke, he had already rushed to the kitchen without waiting for Xu Muyang to speak.

Xu Muyang frowned, and after all, he didn't say anything. Looking at the purple light in the formation, he just sighed helplessly.

Tang Jie was very quick, and half an hour later, the dinner was ready.

At this time, the sky was dark and the moon was hanging from afar.

Xu Muyang and Tang Jie sat opposite each other in the pavilion, and drank rice wine with white chopped chickens.

The moonlight is beautiful, Xu Muyang stared at the sky in a daze. Under the golden glow, the moonlight turned into colorful light, falling into this courtyard, bringing a golden night light.

"This sunset is so beautiful!" Xu Muyang suddenly said.

"Well." Tang Jie saw Xu Muyang's expression strange, and he did not dare to answer casually.

Xu Muyang said to himself: "This sunset is the afterglow of the golden flame wind. It protects us, prevents us from invasion by foreign enemies, protects the Qixia Realm, and makes its spiritual energy flow continuously and will not escape from outside, but it is also our shackle, the shackle of the Qixia people, making us unable to leave this world easily... Xingluo Daqian Realm, I really want to go out and have a look."

The Star and Luo Daqian Realm is the general term for the world outside the Qixia Realm by those immortals who have attained enlightenment. It is said that there are countless worlds of all sizes outside the Qixia Realm.

If Qixia Realm is the earth, then the Xingluo Daqian Realm is undoubtedly the universe.

Unfortunately, it is not easy to leave Qixia Realm. The golden flame storm that envelopes the sky is like a natural barrier, and even spiritual energy cannot escape. Ordinary cultivators will be burned to ashes even if they are approached. Only the real immortal who step onto the immortal platform can fly out of the boundary against the golden flame storm and be free and easy to the nine heavens.

Some people say that this is a self-protection measure in Qixia Realm. It is precisely because of the golden flame and wind that most immortal cultivators are forced to return to the Xun, and the spiritual energy stolen from the world also returns to the heaven and earth, so that it can be revolved and reborn.

If there is no golden flame and wind, the cultivator will leave at will. Over time, the spiritual energy will inevitably be exhausted.

For this reason, in the eyes of some extreme people, every immortal who ascends and leaves is also a sinner who steals spiritual energy but does not return it.

Fortunately, very few people can ascend, and the real spiritual energy lost by Qixia Realm is only a drop in the bucket.

At this moment, Xu Muyang suddenly mentioned the Star Luo Da Qian Realm, and Tang Jie was also a little confused.

Xu Muyang had already drunk a toast and filled himself with wine, and said in a self-talk way: "When I was a child, my father was very strict in discipline. Every day, I either practiced or learned how to manage the family. I was rebellious by nature and always looked for various opportunities to sneak out to play. Every time I was caught by my father, I was beaten up. At that time, my second sister protected me. I remember one time, I sneaked out to play, and was naughty for a while, and actually burned half of the small attic in my house. It was my second sister who stood up and said that it was her burned. Unfortunately, my father was not confused, but he still found me, the real murderer... It hurts really when the board fell."

Tang Jie listened silently and didn't speak.

Xu Muyang still said to himself: "So I began to plan to escape, trying to escape from the Xu family. Unfortunately, I ran three times and were caught back. Once, I even ran out of Moqiu, but I was still caught by my father and beaten up again."

Speaking of this, Xu Muyang laughed softly: "Later I realized that I had the blood of the Xu family. When I was born, this blood was recorded in the ancestral hall and left the life lamp. No matter where I ran, through the life lamp, the people of the Xu family could find me, unless I could escape from the Qixia Realm and enter the Xingluo Daqian Realm. So from then on, I fantasized about one day leaving this world. Of course, it was just a delusion at that time, and later I realized that I would become an immortal and gain Taoism.

How difficult it is. As one of the four major families, my Xu family cannot even get out of the Zifu Zhenjun. If I want to escape from this world, I can only think of another method. That is, from that time on, I began to study the formation path... The way of formation can be drawn into a prison and form a world of its own. This Qixia Realm is like a cage of heaven and earth, and can be regarded as a natural and magnificent formation of heaven and earth. I have devoted myself to the formation path and devoted myself to it. As time goes by, I have completely fallen in love with it. The more I practice it, I have forgotten my original purpose."

He looked at Tang Jie: "You said you want great freedom and freedom, then do you know that this dream looks simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult. How can you have real freedom in life? Even if one day you can achieve success in your cultivation, as long as you are still trapped in this Qixia Realm and trapped in this cage of heaven and earth, you will not be able to have great freedom and freedom!"

"So as long as you are still in Qixia Realm, you can't escape the pursuit, right? That purple qi surges into the sky... is it someone from the Tianshen Palace who chased him?" Tang Jie said lightly.

Xu Muyang was stunned and finally shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I know I can't hide it from you."
To be continued...
