Even so, with the facts before his eyes, Commander Yang still believed it. It would be no use if he didn’t believe it.
Because Mo Hua had already begun to explain to him the formations on the map of Black Mountain Village.
What formation is drawn on the cottage, what is the formation used for, what will happen if the formation is broken by force, and what will happen if the formation is not broken.
There is also the idea of building the entire black village formation, where the formation is strong, where the formation is weak, and if it is an attack, which route is best to take.
Where there are secret doors and escape routes, they need to be sealed in advance to prevent evil cultivators from escaping…
……
The more Commander Yang listened, the more shocked he became.
Such accomplishments in formations were completely beyond his cognition. Not only did he understand many of the principles of formations, it was a bit difficult for him to understand them in full.
The last time I had this feeling was when I was scratching my head and scratching my head with Mr. Formation in clan studies.
Commander Yang secretly glanced at Zhang Lan.
Zhang Lan’s expression was much calmer, and his expression was very calm, but it was more like being a little numb than calm…
Even in class, no matter what the teacher said, I couldn’t understand it. As time went by, I became numb as if it was going in one ear and out the other.
Commander Yang felt much more comfortable.
He just said that Zhang Lan and himself were the same.
His own formation level is not good, and what little he has learned is not even a scratch in front of a real formation master.
Even if Zhang Lan’s level is higher than him, it is still too high. It is impossible for him to understand formations of this level.
Commander Yang silently despised Zhang Lan for a moment, and then he concentrated on listening to Mo Hua explain the formation to him in a crisp and childish voice.
He needs to understand the terrain structure and formation layout of Black Mountain Village in order to formulate targeted tactics.
He doesn’t need to know much about some formations, but he needs to know their functions and what to pay attention to when breaking the formation, so as not to fall into the trap of evil cultivators.
The first-grade re-arrangement was beyond his knowledge of the formation. Fortunately, the ink painting was clear, detailed and popular. The ink painting explained the places he noticed, and explained the places he didn’t notice in detail.
Commander Yang listened more and more seriously, and even picked up a pen to jot down key points at any time.
After Mo Hua spent most of the day explaining the formations on the map of Black Mountain Village, Commander Yang was shocked and at the same time had mixed emotions.
What was shocking was that Mo Hua, at such a young age, actually had such profound knowledge of formations.
The complicated thing is that he never listened so seriously when he took the formation class in the clan school. Now when he listened to a small formation master explaining the formation, he listened attentively and even took notes…
Commander Yang’s attitude towards Mo Hua became much more serious without realizing it.
This is respect for a first-level formation master.
Even compared to most of the first-grade formation masters he knew, Mo Hua’s formation level was obviously higher.
Commander Yang was amazed, and then asked people to serve tea, cakes, and several plates of rich spiritual fruits and spiritual meat to entertain Mo Hua.
“Mr. Xiao Mo, please feel free to do so. There is no need to be restrained.”
Commander Yang’s tone was very polite.
“Thank you, Commander Yang!”
Mo Hua talked for a long time and felt a little thirsty, so he stopped being polite and sat down openly, drinking sweet tea and picking out some spiritual fruits and spiritual meat that he had never eaten before.
Commander Yang held the map he had noted while he and Zhang Lan were discussing something on the side.
They did not avoid Mo Hua, but Mo Hua listened in an upright manner.
But what the two people said was mostly about the deployment of Taoist troops, transitions between offense and defense, and marching formations. He didn’t understand much, so he could only memorize some of them with a vague understanding to see if he could use them in the future.
Mo Hua ate with relish and listened with interest.
After the two of them finished talking, Mo Hua, who had eaten and drank enough, asked the question he was most concerned about: “Commander Yang, can you destroy Heishan Village this time?”
Yang Tong thought for a moment, thinking about Shicai’s plan, and after a moment he made it clear:
“Can!”
Mo Hua’s eyes lit up, “Really?”
Commander Yang nodded and explained to Mo Hua: “The Taoist soldiers can be said to be the most elite monks in the Taoist court. The strength of the Taoist soldiers is not based on the cultivation of individual monks, but on the armor, spiritual weapons, and formations.” Wait until the cultivation method and the Taoist spiritual roots, skills and Taoism are combined.”
“A team of ten Taoist soldiers. Select monks with the same or similar spiritual roots and similar or harmonious skills. They then put on fine armor and hold sharp long soldiers. On the armor and weapons, draw the same Qi company Zhi, the formation that resonates with morale, can be said to be invincible when fighting against monks of the same realm.”
“Even if you face high-level monks, you still have the power to fight!”
“Can we win even if we build too many foundations?” Mo Hua asked.
He knew that there were four masters in Black Mountain Stronghold, that is, there were four evil cultivators in the foundation building period.
According to Mo Hua’s perception, among the Taoist soldiers, only Commander Yang was the only one to build the foundation.
“How do Qi Refining monks compare with Foundation-building monks?”
Mo Hua remembered what Elder Yu said before and said: “Ten monks at the ninth level of Qi Refining can be replaced by one early-stage foundation-building monk.”
“This is correct, but not completely correct.” Commander Yang said, “Not any ten ninth levels of Qi Refining can compete with the early stage of foundation building.”
“Generally, at the ninth level of Qi Refining, if the battle experience is not rich enough and the cooperation between each other is not tacit, even if there are more than ten people, the foundation-building monks will seize the flaws and defeat them one by one.”
“Only the ninth-level Qi Refining monks who have been in battle for a long time, have rich experience, are determined, and cooperate with each other tacitly can be strong enough to fight across the ranks.”
“Is this what Tao soldiers are like?” Mo Hua asked.
Commander Yang nodded, “Not only that, Tao soldiers are equipped with specialized armor and formations. They can form small groups and fight head-on. They can even kill foundation-building monks!”
Mo Hua was shocked.
The Taoist soldiers are so powerful. No wonder Heishanzhai is so powerful and acts so secretly. He is probably really afraid of being discovered by the Taoist court and killed by the Taoist soldiers.
Even if they are just Taoist soldiers at the ninth level of Qi Refining, forming a battle formation, they are enough to compete with the foundation-building monks.
If one person at the ninth level of Qi Refining is unable to resist the foundation building, then there will be ten. If ten is not enough, then there will be a hundred.
Once hundreds or even thousands of Taoist soldiers form a battle formation and charge on the battlefield, only a few high-level monks will be unable to withstand them.
Mo Hua suddenly realized:
“This is similar to the formation. If the formation pattern is not strong enough, accumulate the formation patterns to form a single formation. If the single formation is not strong enough, accumulate single formations to form a complex formation. If the complex formation is not strong enough, accumulate more single formations to form a complex formation. A more powerful formation!”
“Sands gather to form towers, rivers gather to form seas, formations gather together to form formations, and monks gather weak to overcome strong. This is also a law of heaven!”
The more the ink painting talks, the brighter the eyes become.
Although Commander Yang didn’t understand the formation, he couldn’t help but nodded, thinking it made sense. He has led troops in battles all year round and has a deep understanding of this.
Mo Hua was still a little confused, “What formation is the Taoist soldiers using?”
Commander Yang hesitated for a moment and said apologetically: “This is a secret of the Taoist court and cannot be told to outsiders.”
In fact, it’s not that he can’t tell, the main thing is that he doesn’t know.
These formations were coordinated and controlled by the Taoist court and issued by the Taoist Military Department. They were only responsible for using them, not even practicing them. Naturally, they didn’t know what formations were drawn in them.
But it was too embarrassing to say that he didn’t know, so he made an excuse and got over it.
Mo Hua did not doubt that he was there, and apologized: “I was rash.”
Dao Bing’s secret formations were indeed something he shouldn’t inquire about. He was also curious for a moment and wanted to know the similarities and differences between these formations and the formations he usually learned.
“These are trivial matters, don’t worry about it.” Commander Yang waved his hand, feeling guilty.
Mo Hua briefly chatted with Commander Yang again before getting ready to leave.
Commander Yang looked hesitant and hesitated to speak.
Mo Hua couldn’t help but ask: “Does Commander Yang have anything else to do?”
Commander Yang glanced at Zhang Lan, sighed and said, “One more thing, the fog formation in the mountains has changed, and we can’t find the Black Mountain Stronghold.”
He asked Zhang Lan to hire an formation master for him, firstly to explain the formations on the Black Mountain map, and secondly, to go deep into the mountains and reconfirm the location of the fog formation so that they could attack the Black Mountain stronghold.
But he sent scouts to investigate, and found that the positions of the fog arrays in the fog forest had changed. Not only that, the fog in the forest had also become thicker.
The guide map of the foggy forest that Mo Hua had drawn before was naturally useless.
The road map failed, and they could not find the entrance to Heishan Village. Naturally, it was impossible to destroy Heishan Village.
Mo Hua was a little hesitant. He promised Elder Yu not to go into the mountains.
And the third master is probably still thinking about him.
But if you don’t want to pass through the fog forest, you can’t get rid of Black Village.
Mo Hua glanced at Commander Yang and Zhang Lan and asked, “Are you going to be my bodyguards?”
Commander Yang nodded and said, “Zhang Lan and I will escort you.”
“What if we encounter an evil cultivator of foundation building?”
Commander Yang said coldly: “I will deploy a few more teams of Taoist soldiers. If there are any evil cultivators of foundation building, I will kill them directly! I will definitely protect you and not let you lose a hair.”
Zhang Lan also said: “That’s what I told Elder Yu. With the Taoist soldiers protecting you, even if the foundation-building evil cultivator wants to kill you, he probably won’t be able to do it. Only then did he agree that I ask you for help.”
Mo Hua nodded, “Okay, let’s go to the fog forest to have a look.”
