Chapter 127: Destined in Previous Life
"Master Gong, with your cultivation in formation, it shouldn't be difficult to set up this [Seven-Colored Falling Immortal Formation]."
"Of course, Master Gong is one of the best formation masters in Congyunhai."
"That's right. Didn't you see that every year Master Gong has to personally take care of the formation?"
The group of young monks were chattering and making a lot of noise.
Master Gong, however, stood aside with a smug look on his face, stroking his beard and smiling.
"Formation master?" Li Fan's heart moved when he saw this scene.
I almost forgot someone's last words.
His face straightened up immediately, and he asked from a distance, "Senior, are you Master Gong?"
The long-bearded monk was slightly startled, turned around and looked at Li Fan.
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but it only flashed for a moment and was well concealed.
He smiled and said, "My name is Gong Boyu, may I know who you are?"
Li Fan said excitedly: "I am Li Fan. Master Gong, I finally found you. It's so difficult to meet you!"
Gong Boyu was a little embarrassed, but he still asked patiently: "I wonder why you are looking for me?"
Li Fan sighed, his face full of emotion: "I was just entrusted by someone!"
"My friend He Zhenghao left a volume of 'Detailed Explanation of the Hundred Meridians Formation Diagram' before he died..."
Li Fan was halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Gong Boyu in a violent voice.
"What, you are Fellow Daoist He's friend? He also left some formation books with you?" Gong Boyu looked a little strange, as if he was a little unbelieving and a little surprised.
He flashed and appeared beside Li Fan.
Li Fan only felt that his shoulders were grabbed for an instant, and then the scenery in his vision changed.
When I reacted again, I had arrived in front of a slanted cube building.
This cube-shaped building seemed to be made entirely of some kind of metal, and it glowed with a cold and clear light under the sunlight.
"Follow me." Gong Boyu said to Li Fan, and then walked into the building.
Li Fan followed and entered.
The surroundings were dark. The building looked tall from the outside, but inside it was just a cramped little space.
Just when Li Fan felt strange, he suddenly felt a shock under his feet, and the square space he was in seemed to move.
Then the walls and the ground became transparent, and Li Fan discovered that the space inside seemed to be cut into countless independent small cubes.
Each block was moving rapidly along a certain trajectory, and the busy figures of monks could be vaguely seen inside.
After a while, the small cube seemed to hit something and stopped.
The seamless connection was completed instantly, and the surrounding scenery changed suddenly.
The space became several times larger, with several tables and chairs placed inside, and it seemed to be a place to receive guests.
Inviting Li Fan to take a seat, Gong Boyu asked with a smile on his face: "I wonder if you can lend me the volume of "Detailed Explanation of the Hundred Meridians Formation Diagram" that you mentioned?"
Li Fan had no objection.
He had already deleted the message in the jade slip left by He Zhenghao, and then copied several copies for backup. At this moment, Li Fan took out a copy from his storage ring and handed it over.
He said with some emotion: "Before Fellow Daoist He set out to explore the cave, he was afraid that he would encounter an accident and his life's work would be buried forever. So he gave me the "Detailed Explanation of the Hundred Meridians Formation Diagram" and told me that if he died, he would give it to you, Master Gong. I hope you can complete this unfinished detailed explanation of the formation diagram for him."
Gong Boyu read the jade slip carefully, with an expression of amazement and confusion at times on his face.
After a while, he carefully put away the jade slip and said to Li Fan: "Hey, although Fellow Daoist He's cultivation is a bit low, his talent in formation is truly amazing. It's a pity..."
"God is jealous of talents!"
Then, he said to Li Fan solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best to complete it. I will not let Fellow Daoist He's masterpiece be covered in dust."
Then, he handed Li Fan a communication talisman: "I will inform you as soon as I finish it. At that time, I will also give you a copy."
After pondering for a moment, Gong Boyu continued, "This Detailed Explanation of the Hundred Meridians Formation Diagram is of great help to our Formation Strategy Hall. Some of the novel insights in it are so good that even I have benefited a lot from seeing them."
"You worked so hard to hand it over to me, so it's a credit to you. I will transfer 20,000 contribution points to you later."
Li Fan didn't expect to have an unexpected gain, and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
Seeing Gong Boyu immersed in He Zhenghao's work again, Li Fan was about to leave but discovered something embarrassing.
He didn't know how to leave.
Now I can only disturb Gong Boyu again.
"Don't you know anything about formations?"
Gong Boyu said in surprise.
Then he took out another jade slip and said, "This is the basic course for the introductory formation in our Formation Strategy Hall. You can also study it after you practice. When Fellow Daoist He completes his works in the future, you will not be completely clueless."
"Remember, don't spread it outside."
"You go now!"
After saying that, he waved his hand.
Li Fan only felt the vibration under his feet, and the surrounding space broke away and re-formed into a small three-dimensional cube.
Move quickly in the direction you came from.
Soon, he was sent back to the entrance of the Strategy Hall.
Walking out of this building with a very distinctive appearance, Li Fan looked up again.
"There are still more than ten years left. I hope you can make up for it in time."
He returned to the Wanxuan Mirror, took out the jade slip given by Gong Boyu, looked at it, and couldn't help but show joy.
Compared with the various introductory books on formations on the market, the content taught in this jade slip progresses from the simplest to the most complex, step by step.
It is also clear and extremely detailed.
From basic theory to practical deployment, it seems like they are teaching you step by step.
In his previous life on Tai'an Island, Li Fan also learned how to set up a magic circle to purify seawater.
But even with such a simple formation that couldn't be simpler, it took Li Fan almost half a month.
It is really a formation that is too complicated.
It is really difficult to get started by self-study alone.
However, with this jade slip, it will be much easier.
In the ancient world of immortal cultivation, it is at least considered the first half of the true teachings.
After all, the contents of this jade slip cannot be purchased even with contribution points.
"Good, good, good! Fellow Daoist He, you are still shining and giving off heat after death!"
Li Fan was excited and said "good" three times in a row.
At that moment, my mind calmed down and I began to learn eagerly.
Immersed in the mystery of the formation, I didn't notice the passage of time.
I don’t know how long it took before I was awakened by a vague spiritual feeling in my heart.
I checked the time and it has been anchored for 18 years now.
"Studying the formation is more time-consuming than practicing." Li Fan couldn't help but click his tongue.
In his perception, only a few days had passed.
"But why did you wake up suddenly?"
Li Fan frowned, and past events flashed through his mind one by one.
…
"Three years ago, my sister was spotted by a passing immortal master and taken away. At first, she would ask someone to send us a message to let us know that she was safe. But later, we never heard from her again."
So that’s what it was!
Li Fan suddenly understood.
