Chapter 22 Formation
As soon as I returned to Qingcheng Mountain, it started to drizzle.
A thin layer of mist rose in Qingcheng Mountain after the rain.
Standing on the square of Songfeng Temple and overlooking the entire Qingcheng Mountain, it feels like being in the fairyland of Penglai, with most of the green mountains half hidden and half visible in the clouds.
"I originally thought that Zuo Lengchan would not let me go and would send people to kill me along the way, but I didn't expect that I would be able to return safely like this."
Chu Yuan turned around and looked at the familiar Songfeng Temple around him, as well as the Qingcheng Sect disciples who were practicing martial arts in unison in the square next to him, and sighed.
"From this perspective, Zuo Lengchan still has some rationality. He hasn't gone crazy just because he wants to eliminate the threat."
Chu Yuan had been prepared to be ambushed on his way back to Qingcheng Mountain, but fortunately this did not happen.
"Let me tell you, you didn't go down the mountain together this time. Look at how majestic Master Uncle was at the birthday banquet..."
Throwing these thoughts out of his mind, Chu Yuan heard a noise beside him. When he turned around, he saw his nephew Yu Renyan, who was surrounded by a group of young Taoist priests on the mountain while taking a break after finishing his martial arts training. He was excitedly telling about what he saw and heard when he came down the mountain.
It particularly emphasizes the story of the young master of the Fuwei Escort Agency, who first performed the unique skills of extinguishing a candle with a single palm and shooting an acupoint with a silver arrow, which amazed everyone.
Later, how Chu Yuan came to power and easily defeated the young master of Fuwei Escort Agency at Lin Yuantu’s birthday banquet.
Even the famous master of Songshan School, "Big Songyang Hand" Fei Bin, suffered at his hands. The leader of Songshan School, Zuo Lengchan, asked Fei Bin to go on stage to compete with Chu Yuan, but Fei Bin didn't dare to go on stage at all.
Upon hearing this, all the little Taoist priests had stars in their eyes, and they looked at Chu Yuan who was standing not far away with eyes of great admiration.
They didn't expect that their uncle (great uncle), who was younger than them, had such powerful martial arts skills.
Chu Yuan: ...
Seeing this scene, Chu Yuan felt helpless. Time flies. He didn't expect that his nephew Yu Renyan, who was hostile to him in the past, has now become one of his flatterers.
Just then, Senior Brother Yu Canghai walked towards the Laojun Temple not far away.
"Junior brother, you just said you wanted to discuss something with me, what is it?"
Yu Canghai, who had just finished dealing with some miscellaneous matters in the temple, walked up to Chu Yuan and said.
"Brother, do you think it would be a good idea for us to pass on the Qingcheng Heart Sutra to the ordinary disciples of the Qingcheng Sect?"
Chu Yuan asked about the main purpose of his visit to his senior brother Yu Canghai.
As far as he knew, the previous "Qingcheng Heart Sutra" was a unique skill of the Qingcheng Sect, as it could cultivate internal strength, so it was not passed on to ordinary disciples.
Only the master, the master's personal disciple, or the core disciples recognized by the master can practice it.
The reason why Chu Yuan was able to learn the "Qingcheng Heart Sutra" in such a short time was mainly because Chu Yuan showed too high a talent. In addition, he was of a very high generation and was the master's junior brother, so Yu Canghai made an exception.
"What do you mean, junior brother?"
Yu Canghai's heart moved, and he looked at Chu Yuan's expression.
"Since our Qingcheng Sect already has the more powerful internal skill 'Nine Heavens Gang Qi', the ordinary internal skill 'Qingcheng Heart Method' should naturally be passed on to ordinary disciples. Only in this way can the strength of Qingcheng Sect be increased."
Chu Yuan said to Yu Canghai.
In Chu Yuan's opinion, if one wants to develop a sect, one must not be too protective of his disciples.
Wudang Shaolin!
Why can he become the leading figure in the martial arts world?
This is because there are a large number of martial arts and martial arts inheritance within the Wudang and Shaolin sects.
There is a complete promotion mechanism for disciples of these two sects. As long as you have a talent for martial arts, your talent will never be buried.
It is precisely because of this that there are endless masters in the Wudang and Shaolin sects, who always stand at the top of the world.
They are the two sects with the deepest heritage in the martial arts world.
"Junior brother, to be honest, I have the same idea, but this "Nine Heavens Gang Qi" was created by you, and I was just about to find an opportunity to discuss it with you..."
Yu Canghai nodded.
He had the same idea.
There is a huge gap between the disciples who have practiced internal skills and those who have not.
"It seems that Senior Brother and Junior Brother have the same idea."
Chu Yuan nodded.
"In that case, from now on, the Nine Heavens Gang Qi will be the internal power practiced by our Qingcheng Sect's head and disciples. As for the Qingcheng Heart Method, as long as the disciples have been practicing for three years and have laid a solid foundation, and have no background problems, they can all practice it. How do you think?"
Chu Yuan thought about it and said.
"Junior brother, you have considered it carefully. I will pass on the instructions. From now on, the Qingcheng Sect will do as you say."
Yu Canghai raised his eyebrows and thought for a while, then said with satisfaction.
"Then it's settled."
Chu Yuan nodded.
Although "Nine Heavens Gangqi" was a magical skill he created, he did not take it seriously.
Because of the experience of modifying and optimizing martial arts for the first time, the difficulty for him to create martial arts in the future was greatly reduced.
Although the power of "Nine Heavens Gangqi" is comparable to the magical power of "Six Meridians Divine Sword".
But it is definitely not the most powerful martial art he created.
"I will find a way to create a combined attack formation for our Qingcheng Sect. Shaolin has the Shaolin Arhat Formation and the Eighteen Bronze Men Formation, Wudang has the Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation, and our Qingcheng Sect should also have its own formation, so that ordinary disciples will have the ability to face off against masters."
Chu Yuan then continued.
With the formation, ordinary disciples can also play a role when encountering masters.
"That's great. I'll trouble you with the formation." Yu Canghai was delighted and excited when he heard this. He grabbed Chu Yuan's arm and said.
He knew about formations, which were usually exclusive to top sects.
Only the top martial arts sects like Shaolin and Wudang have their own formations.
If the Qingcheng Sect really possessed the formation, then the Qingcheng Sect would also have the qualifications and foundation to become a top sect like Shaolin and Wudang.
"Brother, don't get excited. Creating your own formation requires knowledge of strange arts. I'm just saying this. I'm afraid it won't be successful in a short period of time."
Chu Yuan calmed down his senior brother Yu Canghai and broke free from Yu Canghai's arm.
Creating formations is different from creating martial arts. Creating martial arts requires understanding the meridians and acupoints.
To create a formation, one needs to understand the art of Qimen.
Gather everyone's strength together through formation.
Achieve the effect of 1+1 equals 2, or even greater than 2.
"With your qualifications, as long as you have this idea, you will definitely succeed."
Yu Canghai then realized that he was too excited and had lost his composure for a moment. After adjusting himself, he spoke to Chu Yuan sincerely.
Chu Yuan: ...
He really didn't know where his senior brother Yu Canghai got so much confidence in him.
His own confidence is not as great as that of his senior brother Yu Canghai.
Because he didn't understand Yixue Qimen divination at all, if he wanted to create his own formation, he had to find someone, or learn Qimen divination by himself.
"Don't worry, I'll do my best."
Chu Yuan could only try his best to ensure it.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you, my junior brother."
Yu Canghai said.
"give it to me."
Chu Yuan nodded, and the matter was settled.
……
Half a month later.
Chu Yuan came to Baiyun Temple carrying two vegetarian dishes wrapped in oil paper.
Like Songfeng Temple, Baiyun Temple is located in the front mountain, but on different peaks.
"Uncle Chu!"
"How did you come?"
Seeing Chu Yuan, the two young Taoist priests guarding the gate of Baiyun Temple, wearing white Taoist robes, greeted Chu Yuan enthusiastically.
As a disciple of the abbot of Baiyun Temple, Taoist Ziyun, Chu Yuan still has a very high seniority in Baiyun Temple.
"Xiao Yi, Xiao Song, are you two going to guard the gate today?"
Chu Yuan responded very familiarly.
"Yes, Uncle Chu, I heard from my senior brother at Songfeng Temple that you and Master Yu went down the mountain to attend the birthday banquet of Master Lin of Fuwei Escort Agency. Why are you back?"
Among them, the younger one, with a childish face, only fourteen or fifteen years old, the little Taoist priest with extremely large ears was curious about Chu Yuan.
It can be seen that compared to practicing Taoism, these young people are more interested in the affairs of the martial arts world.
"I came back naturally after participating."
Chu Yuan responded.
While talking with the two young Taoist priests, he walked into Baiyun Temple.
Chu Yuan looked at Baiyun Temple. Compared with Songfeng Temple, Baiyun Temple was smaller in scale.
There is no large square for disciples to practice martial arts, but there are Lingzu Temple, Laojun Temple, Doumu Temple, Tianshi Temple, Sanguan Temple, Lu Zu Temple, and Chongyang Patriarch Temple.
Walking in from the archway of Baiyun Temple, there is a small courtyard with an area of over 100 square meters.
In the middle of the courtyard, there is a green pine tree as thick as a bowl.
Under the green pine, there is a copper incense burner that is half a person's height, with two ears and three legs, and the surface is carved with patterns of mythical beasts such as cranes and unicorns.
Because there were frequent pilgrims coming to burn incense, most of the edge of the incense burner had been burned black. There were still many Taoist incense sticks burning inside, and large amounts of green smoke were rising from the incense burner.
"Is Chu Yuan here?"
At this time, there was a noise and an old Taoist priest, who was over fifty years old, with white hair and beard, wearing a Chunyang scarf, and wearing a moon-white Taoist robe and a pair of cloth shoes, walked out of the Lingzu Temple with a whisk in his hand.
It was Ziyun, the abbot of Baiyun Temple.
Chu Yuan couldn't create the formation by himself, so he came to ask for help from his other master.
It just so happened that his master Ziyun was proficient in the art of strange men.
"Yes, Master, your disciple is here to see you."
Chu Yuan raised the vegetarian dish in his hand and said with a smile.
