Before the official start of construction, the array needs to select a site
Boss Zhou and Elder Yu went to Mo Hua specifically to ask for his opinion.
The formation was drawn and designed by Mo Hua, so the location was naturally determined by Mo Hua.
After careful consideration, Mo Hua finally decided on the location of the formation in Heishan Village.
The Five Elements Demon Slaying Formation is a trapping and killing formation, not a defensive protective formation, so it cannot be placed in Tongxian City, and must even be kept away from Tongxian City.
Otherwise, once the formation is activated, Tongxian City will be affected by the spiritual power of the formation’s killing spree.
The most suitable location is in the mountains.
It is the best choice to kill Feng Xi directly in the mountains and prevent it from entering the city.
Deep in the mountains, the most suitable place is naturally Black Mountain Village.
Black Mountain Village is located between two mountains. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In other words, the interior is relatively closed and is suitable for trapping and killing.
The ancestor of the Qian family built Heishan Village here because the location of Heishan Village was suitable for constructing formations.
Moreover, although Black Mountain Stronghold was destroyed, there is still a certain formation foundation. Building a large formation on this foundation can save a lot of effort.
Although Boss Zhou and Elder Yu were a little surprised, they both nodded in agreement.
Mo Hua said to Commander Yang again: “Uncle Yang, we need to find a way to contain Feng Xi and delay it for some time.”
The formation is guaranteed to be built in two months, but if something unexpected happens and the construction period is delayed, and Feng Xi starts to look for food before it is completed, then something bad will happen.
Therefore, we need to try our best to prevent Feng Xi from refining his blood energy and buy more time.
Commander Yang nodded: “Don’t worry, with the help of the Yang family, I have already written to the Taoist Military Department and asked for the transfer of two more Taoist soldiers. During these days, I will find ways to harass Feng Xi and delay the speed of refining his blood.”
After that, everyone had a clear division of labor. Spiritual stone materials were allocated by Chief Zhou, manpower was dispatched by Elder Yu, and Mo Hua was fully responsible for the array formation.
The construction of the Five Elements Demon Slaying Formation has officially started.
The general map of the formation was designed by Mo Hua based on the formation pivot, other formation records, and the opinions of the master craftsmen.
The first step is to clean up the damaged buildings in Heishan Village and reconstruct the foundation and framework of the formation. This part is the responsibility of the craftsmen.
At the same time, the weapon refining shop in Nancheng was working day and night, and the weapon refining furnace was working day and night to start refining the array plates, array locks, array doors and other components required for the large array as array media.
The alchemist refines some elixirs that can relieve heat, detoxify, remove miasma, and restore physical and spiritual power, and supply them to the craftsmen who build the formation.
The Fushan Restaurant in the city and the Anjia Restaurant provide meals for everyone.
The demon hunters, under the leadership of Yu Chengyi, Mo Shan and others, opened a mountain road in Daheishan that started from Tongxian City, passed through the inner and outer mountains, went directly to the deep mountains, and led to the former site of Heishan Village.
The mountain road winds along the mountain, is wide and flat, and is convenient for transporting many materials needed for the formation.
At the same time, the monster hunter is also responsible for driving away the monsters on both sides of the mountain road to prevent them from attacking the monks.
A few days later, some casual cultivators from Qingxuan City also came to help, and monks from some nearby immortal cities heard that Tongxian City was going to build a large formation to fight against the big demon, so they also gathered here and wanted to do their part.
There are more and more monks building the formation, and the entire monastic project is becoming more and more grand.
Mo Hua stood on the top of a mountain in Heishan Village.
Looking down, you can see a long mountain road, starting from the foot of Heishan Village, winding along the mountains of Daheishan, and extending to Tongxian City.
The mountain road was crowded with people, densely packed with monks, transporting building materials and various supplies in an orderly manner.
The Black Mountain Stronghold at the foot has been dismantled, the foundation has been rebuilt, and the framework of some basic formations has been established.
Master Ban and many craftsmen were busy shuttling between them, and the prototype of the large formation had already begun to appear.
In Tongxian City in the distance, the weapon refining shop is in full swing, the alchemy shop is booming, and the fushan building is full of smoke.
The prepared food boxes, elixirs, and spiritual weapons are either sent to the hands of various monks, or sent deep into the mountains along winding mountain roads…
Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of monks worked together to build a large-scale monastic formation – the Five Elements Demon Slaying Formation.
This scene shocked Mo Hua inexplicably.
“Is this the big formation…”
If a single formation is not strong enough, enough single formations are gathered together to form a large formation through the core formation.
If a single monk is not strong enough, enough monks must be gathered to work together for a common goal.
Manpower is sometimes exhausted, but as long as there are enough people, the power is endless.
In a daze, the ink painting came to enlightenment.
He can draw a large formation, kill Feng Xi, and save a city of monks.
But in fact, it is not you who is saving others, but everyone is saving yourself.
Without him, no one would be able to draw a grand formation, but without so many monks working together, it would be impossible for him to build a grand formation.
Destiny is never changed by one person, but by the concerted efforts of all the monks, we can truly change our destiny!
In an instant, Mo Hua’s sea of consciousness trembled slightly, his thoughts became clear, and he felt that he suddenly understood the concept of the formation.
The lines of the array core that were once a bit jerky seemed to be clearly engraved in the sea of consciousness.
A flash of enlightenment suddenly occurred, and Mo Hua felt something in his heart.
You can really build it yourself and control the entire Five Elements Demon Slaying Formation like an arm!
As if he understood something, the formation took another step forward.
He even had a hint of the demeanor of a formation master.
At that moment, Master Luo thought he was dazzled.
He rubbed his eyes, and when he looked again, he found that there was no profound aura in Mo Hua, and he was still the simple little monk.
Because it was already noon, someone shouted “dinner is ready”, Mo Hua used the water step and happily ran to get the chicken legs…
Master Luo stood there blankly for a long time, then sighed with a complicated expression and muttered with self-doubt:
“Did I get dazzled just now…”
……
Ten days later, the bottom array media framework of the array was completed.
Thanks to the concerted efforts of all the monks, this speed was much faster than Mo Hua imagined.
Next, you need to draw the formal formation.
The Five Elements Demon Slaying Formation uses the formation eye as the source, the formation hub as the coordinator, the single formation layout, and the formation medium as the cornerstone.
The formation eye of the formation is composed of multiple first-grade spirit-gathering complex formations, which are used to refine spiritual stones, absorb spiritual energy, and condense the spiritual power of the formation, thus providing a source of spiritual power for the entire formation to operate.
The core of the formation is the formation hub, which is the center that coordinates and controls the opening and closing, starting and stopping, forward and reverse, strong and suppressed functions of spiritual power.
Only by first drawing the formation pivot, can we sequentially lay out the single formations outside the formation pivot based on the formation pivot.
Similarly, among the entire formation, the formation hub is the most difficult to draw, and it is also the core and most confidential part of the formation. It must be drawn by the main formation master himself.
In other words, only those who can draw the center of the formation are qualified to become the main formation master of the formation and lead the construction of the formation.
The position of the formation hub was chosen by Mo Hua on a high peak.
The terrain here is high, the field of view is good, and it is far away from the middle area of the trap. It is suitable for overviewing the whole situation when controlling the large formation, and it is not easy to be affected by the spiritual power when trapping and killing.
The formation medium of the formation hub is a huge formation plate filled with fine iron. It is extremely strong and not easy to be damaged.
Before the ink painting started, Master Luo withdrew all the formation masters.
The center of the formation is the core of the formation, and it is also the secret of the formation master. When painting, it must be kept secret.
At the same time, Master Luo also knew that Mo Hua might not have drawn the formation pivot himself, but his husband might have done the painting, so he brought out all the formation masters to prevent this matter from being exposed.
Master Luo considers ink painting very carefully.
But he didn’t know that the center of this formation was indeed painted by Mo Hua himself.
The formation pivot is difficult to draw.
Although I have understood the ink painting thoroughly, it is still very difficult to draw this formation.
A formation plate made of fine iron is used as the formation medium. When drawing the formation, more spiritual consciousness is consumed.
The ink painting failed twice due to lack of spiritual consciousness. Then I used spirit-dispelling liquid to erase the formation patterns and started painting again.
Because the texture was too complicated, I made two mistakes, so I had to start over.
……
After failing five or six times in a row, Mo Hua was not discouraged.
Because thanks to the realization just now, the lines of the formation hub clearly appeared in his mind.
He knew he could draw it, he just needed more familiarity and some opportunities for trial and error.
Five days later, after countless attempts at ink painting, he finally drew the center of the five-star demon-slaying formation.
The ink painting uses spiritual consciousness to penetrate the center of the formation, and the lines are clearly visible. The paths of different spiritual powers are also consistent with those recorded on the jade slips of the formation.
Mo Hua was worried and checked it several times from beginning to end, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Success! Mo Hua looked at the profound and complex array in front of him, and he felt joyful.
The central structure of the array is rigorous, and fine strokes are accumulated to form a heavy front, giving it a complex and profound beauty.
The only fly in the ointment is that this is the first time I drew the formation hub on the formation disk with ink painting. I am not familiar with the brushwork and have applied it too many times, which makes it not very beautiful.
It’s not pretty, but it works! Mo Hua feels that it is more important for monks to be pragmatic, and practicality is better than anything else.
After finishing the formation pivot painting, Master Luo led the other formation masters in. Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone couldn’t help but be shocked.
This is the center of the formation…
The complex lines are daunting, and it looks like they can’t learn them at first glance…
After Master Luo sighed, he looked at the formation pivot for a long time.
On the one hand, I was shocked that this expert was so accomplished in formations that he could actually draw the center of a large formation;
On the other hand, I have doubts in my heart, why does this “expert”‘s brushwork look a bit unfamiliar, like a child’s graffiti, painted so many times…
