Chapter 534: Out of Body

 However, this kind of calculation involves the ultimate formation, which is not difficult, but it is very time-consuming.

 Until two hours passed, Mo Hua still had no clue.

 The three of them left the shrine again and returned to the guest room of the Five Elements Sect.

Mo Hua simply sits and meditates, rests for a while, and when his spiritual consciousness is full, he continues to calculate the relationship between the Five Elements Spirit Array and the shrine.

On the shrine map, the ink paintings draw five five-element spiritual formations according to the directions.

 Then, based on the calculation results, he drew outlines between the spiritual formations.

 Line after line, intertwined, connected, interspersed...

Although Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi know the Immortal Formation, they don't know how to calculate. They can only look at the ink paintings and do calculations while drawing.

Mr. Zhuang also watched silently without prompting or speaking.

 Obviously, he wanted Mo Hua to be independent and rely on his own abilities to solve problems, solve mysteries, and understand formations.

 Because he knew in his heart that he could not help Mo Hua for the rest of his life.

Even, I can’t help him for much longer...

Ink painting was spent sleeping and eating, calculating formations. At night, his consciousness sank into the sea of ​​​​consciousness, and he continued to calculate on the Taoist stele.

 In the Dao stele, spiritual consciousness can be traced back.

 The calculation efficiency will be higher.

 Finally, in the early morning of the next day, Mo Hua calculated the relationship between the formations in the Five Elements Formation Diagram of the shrine.

In the structural diagram of the shrine, the shrine is the core and the Five Elements Spirit Array is the radial wings. The array patterns are rigorous and the spiritual power trajectories are intertwined, forming a complex and profound spiritual path diagram.

These spiritual power trajectories have a total of six converging points.

 Five of them are the positions of the five futons, and one is the hidden direction.

This position is hidden on the fourth floor of the Zangzhen Pavilion. There is no futon or any other markings.

Even Mo Hua suspected that the great elder of the Five Elements Sect might not know this position...

 Because it’s too complicated to calculate.

 And it must be extremely precise, without even a single error.

The method of divine consciousness calculation and calculation of the spiritual path of the ultimate formation may not be of much importance to the previous Five Elements Sect.

 But things are different now. For the current Five Elements Sect, it may really be the same as the "Book of Heaven".

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

 In any case, calculating this position is one step closer to the essence of the Five Elements Spiritual Array...

 …

 The fourth day.

After the great elder burned the incense and left, he pretended to be meditating, immediately stood up, took out the calculated Five Elements Diagram of the shrine, and then compared it with the calculated spiritual path to find the correct direction.

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi are also helping to find him.

The entire fourth floor of the Zangzhen Pavilion is paved with a complete piece of bricks and stones.

 The masonry is smooth, without texture, and there is no reference point at all, so determining the orientation is a bit time-consuming.

 After a cup of tea, Mo painted a drop of ink on a seemingly ordinary position.

 This point of ink is the point where the five spiritual paths converge.

 That is the sixth "futon" of the visualization shrine.

Mo Hua sighed, "The ancestors of the Five Elements Sect are really very thoughtful."

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi glanced at the ink painting and said nothing, but they both murmured in their hearts:

 “No matter how many eyes you have, there are not as many as you…”

The ancestors of the Five Elements Sect have used so many methods and hidden such deep secrets, but you still dug them out...

 “Just think about it.”

Bai Zixi urged.

 There is not much time, this is already the fourth day, and the five-day period is very close, so no time can be wasted.

"Um."

Mo Hua nodded, then sat cross-legged and meditated, in the position where the five elements converged, "sit" on the sixth futon of nothingness, and visualized the shrine.

 This time, what he saw was no longer a dojo.

 It is a gate.

 The door of the shrine!

The gate is deep and simple, with five types of complex patterns engraved on it.

These patterns are very familiar to ink paintings. They are exactly the patterns of the 1st Grade Thirteen Patterns, the patterns of the Five Elements Spiritual Array.

 But...the door is closed...

Mo Hua sighed.

 He finally understood how the Five Elements Spiritual Formation of the Five Elements Sect was lost.

This gate protects against both villains and gentlemen.

 Beware of outsiders, and beware of your own people...

The lines on it are clear and distinct. You can tell at a glance that it is a mystery formation.

 The spiritual path of the formation has been tampered with, as if it had been "encrypted".

 It must be calculated before the formation can be released and the door can be opened.

How can this ordinary formation master calculate this?

Is this Five Elements Spiritual Formation not taught to first-level formation masters at all?

 The ancestors of the Five Elements Sect had some problems with their minds...

 The inheritance of my family is wrapped as tightly as a rice dumpling.

Mo Hua was a little speechless.

 But now is obviously not the time for backbiting.

 He immediately spread out the paper, took out the pen and ink, and then carefully copied down the complete five-line riddle array on the door, stroke by stroke.

 After the copying was completed, two hours had almost passed.

 Ink Hua then wiped away the ink mark he had made.

 Sure enough, not long after, the great elder came.

 “The time has come, please come back.”

The great elder's tone was quite polite, but there was a hint of sneer hidden in his eyes.

The three of them in Mo Hua had no choice but to go back.

The five-element riddle on the door of the shrine can be calculated and solved by yourself in ink paintings, but it will take some time.

 But before that, he still went to ask Mr. Xiazhuang.

Mo Hua showed Mr. Zhuang the formation diagram he copied.

Mr. Zhuang was a little surprised, but not surprised.

Mo Hua already knew:

“Master must have seen this mystery array back then. It is possible that he solved it himself and entered the shrine.”

 But the master will definitely not give him any advice.

Mo Hua then asked something else:

“Master, were these measures deployed by the ancestors of the Five Elements Sect?”

Mr. Zhuang said with some emotion, "That's right..."

 “Why go to all this trouble?”

Mr. Zhuang said interestingly: "I am guarding against thieves."

 "To guard against thieves?" Mo Hua was startled, and then said: "To guard against me..."

Mr. Zhuang smiled slightly and said, "Yes, you count."

“But…even if it’s to prevent thieves, it’s too much trouble. Isn’t it too fussy?”

Mr. Zhuang shook his head, "No, what they are guarding against is the disciples of our sect in the past, and they are not making a fuss about it! We... the monks of this sect, from ancient times to the present, are all people with excellent bones and amazing talents... "

Mr. Zhuang looked at the ink painting and was startled.

 Ink painting is very self-aware, "Master, except me...all have excellent bones and amazing talents..."

Mr. Zhuang was silent for a moment and said tactfully:

“You may be a bit weak in terms of physical strength, but in terms of formation, you are still... astonishingly talented...”

“Hmm,” Mo Hua nodded, “Master, please continue.”

Mr. Zhuang thought about what he had just said, and then continued:

“The ancestors of the Five Elements Sect, if they didn’t set the threshold higher and didn’t make the puzzles more difficult, they would be easily seen through…”

“It’s actually quite reasonable to use it to protect us…”

"It's just that in this way, the descendants of the Five Elements Sect will suffer."

"Once the sect declines, if the younger disciples of the Five Elements Sect are not successful, basically none of them will be able to solve the mystery and learn to pass on the inheritance."

"These formations can only be lost..."

Mr. Zhuang said this, looked at the ink painting, and said earnestly:

“When the sects and families in the world of cultivation use formations to establish their sects, these inheritances are hidden very deeply.” “The Five Elements Sect’s method of hiding formations is quite unique.”

 “Seems simple, but yet obscure.”

“Although it is obscure, it all coincides with the formation.”

"Pay more attention and study more. After cracking it, you can draw parallels and draw parallels. If you encounter similar formation inheritance in the future, with the reference of the Five Elements Sect, you can crack it and understand it yourself."

Mr. Zhuang’s tone was deep, “We have been cultivating the world for tens of thousands of years, with families rising and falling, and sects rising and falling…”

“Some forces may seem insignificant, but the inheritance from our ancestors cannot be underestimated.”

 “These inheritances are often hidden in inconspicuous things.”

“Cultivation is all about chance, and some people’s chances depend on luck.”

 “And some people’s opportunities depend on their knowledge...”

"Luck is innate and unpredictable, but knowledge is acquired. You can learn, see, and think by yourself..."

 “The great road favors those who are determined, you must pay more attention in the future...”

Mr. Zhuang’s eyes are subtle and restrained, hiding deep emotions.

 “Yes!” Mo Hua nodded solemnly.

 He understood that the master was teaching him methods through the inheritance of the Five Elements Sect.

 It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him a fish.

Master hopes that in the future, he can rely on his own vision, cognition and experience to find opportunities, find formations, and explore the avenue...

Mo Hua looked at Mr. Zhuang who was breathing weakly, feeling a little lonely and complicated.

 …

 At night, Mo Hua still spent all his sleep and food to calculate the formation patterns and decipher the five-element riddle formation.

 Thanks to the Taoist stele, the calculation of ink paintings is getting faster and faster...

 At this moment, in the Hidden Formation Pavilion.

 The great elder lit three sticks of incense in front of the shrine.

　One third of the incense stick has been burned, and one fourth of the incense stick has been burned. The middle incense stick does not burn even if there is fire, and remains motionless.

The Great Elder was a little reassured, but also a little surprised.

What is reassuring is that the inheritance of the Five Elements Sect has been preserved!

 Only one day and two hours left.

It is impossible for them to comprehend that the Five Elements Sect’s most powerful formation—the Five Elements Spiritual Formation!

Surprisingly, that little formation master really didn’t understand even a little bit about the Five Elements Spiritual Formation from the shrine...

 The great elder smiled contemptuously.

 It’s small, but big may not be good.

 When you were young, you were talented, but that was it. Your potential was exhausted. What future was left?

"That little formation master, I overestimated him..."

 The great elder turned and left.

He didn’t notice that the old woodcarving man in the shrine and dojo also smiled strangely...

 …

The mystery formation on the gate, although complicated, is the same as the five-element confluence formation in front of the shrine, except that one is a confluence and the other is a divergence.

Mo Hua was familiar with the road. It took him one night to figure out the spiritual path of the formation.

On the fifth day, which was the last day agreed by the Five Elements Sect to comprehend the Five Elements Spiritual Formation, Mo Hua was a little nervous, but as always, he entered the fourth floor of the Hidden Formation Pavilion with his younger brother and younger sister.

 The elder burned incense, closed the door, and went to the third floor to drink tea with Mr. Zhuang.

 It was quiet in front of the shrine.

 Hook the ink painting to reorient it, and then start visualizing the shrine.

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi were by his side, protecting him.

 At the moment when the ink painting was contemplating the shrine, the gate with dense patterns appeared again.

The ink painting uses spiritual consciousness to activate the formation, and according to the spiritual path map he calculated yesterday, he restores the formation pattern bit by bit, re-dividing the gathered spiritual paths and returning them to their original positions.

Soon, the complex formation diagram above the shrine door became clear.

This is a clear distinction between Jing and Wei, five pairs of five elements array diagrams.

 In the middle of the formation, there is a Tai Chi-shaped door lock.

As soon as the ink painting is moved, Tai Chi slowly rotates, the door of the shrine rotates accordingly, and the five elements flow, forming a vortex.

 Inside the vortex, it was pitch black.

Mo Hua felt a little chilled in his heart.

Before he could think about it, he felt a suction force coming from the void, pulling at his sea of ​​consciousness, as if trying to pull his consciousness out of his body.

 Ink painting immediately calms the mind and manifests itself.

At the moment when he manifested himself, his spiritual body was sucked by the door, separated from the sea of ​​consciousness, pulled into the door, and entered the shrine.

The moment his consciousness left his body, Mo Hua's eyes dimmed in luster and slowly closed, and his body collapsed softly.

When Bai Zixi saw this, she immediately hugged Mo Hua, then frowned and tried Mo Hua's breath, and her frown became even tighter.

Bai Zisheng was also startled and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"

Bai Zixi's eyes narrowed slightly, "It seems like...his spiritual consciousness has left his body?"

Bai Zisheng was shocked, "He must be practicing Qi... If his spiritual consciousness leaves his body, he will easily die!"

Bai Zixi immediately said: "Soul Requiem Pill and Qi Shou Pill!"

“Oh!” Bai Zisheng immediately rummaged around in his storage bag. After a moment, he took out two bottles of pills, selected one and handed it to Bai Zixi.

Bai Zixi's white fingers picked up the elixir and fed it into Mo Hua's mouth.

Mo Hua’s face, which had gradually turned pale, turned rosy again.

 Between the mouth and nose, a gentle breath gradually began to appear.

 Bai Zixi breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Zisheng also wiped the cold sweat on his head and couldn't help but muttered: "How could the consciousness be out of the body?" He looked at Bai Zixi again and asked:

"What should we do now?"

Bai Zixi looked at the niche and said calmly:

"Hold on…"

Bai Zisheng had no other choice and sighed, "This is the only way..."

Bai Zixi laid Mo Hua flat on the ground, took out a soft blanket and put it on the back of Mo Hua's head, then sat down on the side, hugged his knees, and looked at Mo Hua silently.

 …

Mo Hua only feels a pain in the sea of ​​consciousness and a lightness in spiritual consciousness.

 When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was in a wide square, surrounded by predecessors and ancestors, but they were all wood carvings and clay sculptures.

In addition, spiritual beasts are competing for wonders, flowers are blooming, chariots and horses are like water, and chariots are like clouds.

There are also vase flowers, painted buildings and carved beams.

 One step at a time, one scene at a time, so beautiful.

These scenes have all been seen in ink paintings on the shrine.

 This square is the dojo among the shrines.

It’s just that from the outside, every scene, every pavilion, every person and thing is a relief wood carving.

 Looking at it now, it is so lifelike that it can almost be mistaken for the real thing.

Mo Hua let go of his consciousness, looked around, and suddenly frowned.

 No, that’s not right!

Everything here is fake, but one thing is not!

 He cast his gaze above the dojo.

 There is an old man above the dojo.

 The old man is a woodcarving, with a stereotyped appearance, wearing wooden clothes, and his beard and hair are all carved with woodgrain patterns.

 But the moment I looked at it in the ink painting, its appearance changed.

The wooden clothes became colorful, the dull face became alive, the beard and hair turned white, and the eyes became deep. From the dojo, he cast his eyes towards the ink painting from a distance.

 A moment later, his hoarse voice came from the dojo:

“There are still people who can come in…”

Mo Hua didn’t know his identity, but seeing that he was older and highly respected, he politely raised his hands and saluted:

 “The junior ink painting, I have seen the senior, but I don’t know who the senior is...”

The old man stood up slowly, his expression becoming more and more lively. The Taoist robe on his body was colorful, and finally formed five colors, just like the five elements Taoist robe.

His voice was majestic, dignified, and resounding:

 “I... am the twenty-third generation of the Five Elements Sect and the preaching elder!”
