Chapter 382 Formation

Old man Ding's grandson lay on the table, sipping the porridge without a grain of rice, forcing himself not to look at the chicken on the table, but occasionally he couldn't help but secretly glance at it.

Old man Ding's grandson, five or six years old, is called Ding Miaoer.

This name may be given in the hope that he can grow up smoothly like the rice seedlings in the field.

The growth of rice seedlings means a good harvest.

The growth of children means peace and smoothness.

Mo Hua finished the porridge in the bowl, ate a piece of chicken, and then pushed the whole plate of meat in front of Miaoer.

"I'm full, give it to Miao'er."

Old man Ding said hurriedly: "How can this be done?"

Mo Hua said: "I'll ask you some questions, and you tell me, which will be the reward for drawing the formation."

Old man Ding said: "Young sir, if you have any questions, just ask them. I will tell you everything I know. This is my job, but this..."

Mo Hua did not allow him to refuse, "It's settled."

Ding Miao'er shook his head and said in a baby voice:

"Big brother, eat."

Mo Hua touched his head and said gently: "You eat it."

Ding Miao'er wanted to refuse.

Grandpa taught him that guests must be treated well.

But he was really hungry, and he didn't know what meat tasted like for a long time.

He couldn't help it and took a bite of chicken.

Then he lost himself in the fragrance of the chicken and ate one piece after another...

Mo Hua touched his little head again.

Ding Miao'er raised his head, eating meat in his mouth, his eyes sparkling.

Old man Ding looked distressed.

This was his grandson, not to mention meat, he couldn't even get enough rice...

Ding Miaoer was on the side, concentrating on a plate of chicken.

Mo Hua asked old man Ding:

"Uncle Ding, are all the formations in this field drawn by the Sun family?"

Old man Ding nodded, "It has been used for hundreds of years since the ancestors of the Sun family."

"The ancestors of the Sun family?"

Old man Ding was a little emotional, and he told Mo Hua:

"The ancestors of the Sun family, especially the ancestor of the Sun family, are well-known great formation masters, and also first-class good people."

"He was originally a cultivator from another place. I don't know how he drifted here. Seeing the hardships of the cultivators in Qianjia Town, he had a kind heart and drew formations in the spiritual fields.

"These formations can make the soil fertile and the spiritual rice harvest abundant, so that we don't have to worry about food and clothing. "

"The cultivators of Qianjia Town were so grateful to him that they tried their best to keep him and built a mansion for him..."

"That is the mansion of the Sun family now, but it has been renovated several times at great expense by the Sun family and it no longer looks the same as it did before."

"What happened later?" Mo Hua asked.

"Later..." Old Man Ding sighed, "Later, the ancestor of the Sun family passed away for unknown reasons. It is said that he learned too much about formations and his sea of ​​consciousness was broken, but this is a rumor. I don't know the inside story..."

"After the ancestor of the Sun family passed away, we still felt grateful to them for their kindness. Every year when we had a harvest, we would send some spiritual grains over."

"Gradually, these younger generations of the Sun family took this for granted. They felt that we owed them the Sun family and should "pay tribute" to them."

"Some years when the harvest was poor and we gave less, the people of the Sun family would scold us and say that we were "ungrateful" ungrateful wolves. "

"What's even worse is that they later had evil intentions. They not only wanted the harvest from the fields, but also wanted the girls in the village to be their maids to serve them... How could we agree to this?"

"So this favor turned into hatred..."

"Later, as the rift between us casual cultivators and the Sun family deepened, the Sun family relied on these formations and asked for a lot of money. Most of our annual harvest had to be provided to them."

"But we can't not give it. This place is close to the mountains, the land is barren, and without formations, the spiritual rice in the fields will soon dry up..."

Old Man Ding sighed deeply.

Mo Hua listened and felt a little emotional, and asked again:

"What about the formation in the field? It was also passed down by the ancestors of the Sun family. Has it never changed?"

Old Man Ding scratched his head, recalled, and said:

"It doesn't seem to be..."

"According to the older generation of cultivators in the village, the formation drawn by the ancestors of the Sun family leaves no traces and does not need to be repaired, and can be used for many years. "

"Most of the current formations are drawn by the younger generation of the Sun family. They often break down and need to be repaired."

But he didn't know more specifically.

The story of the Sun family's ancestor was a long time ago, and he also heard about it. He knew nothing about the formation and couldn't explain it.

Mo Hua frowned.

This is strange.

Since it is a formation, how can it be traceless?

The younger generation of the Sun family should know the formation drawn by their ancestors, so why did they draw it again?

Did they just want to use the formation to threaten and exploit the cultivators who farmed the land?

Does the Sun family know what kind of formation their ancestors drew?

Mo Hua didn't understand, and thought of another question:

"The Sun family asked you to sell your children, but didn't ask you to sell your fields to them?"

Generally speaking, spiritual fields are the most important.

The Sun family actually left such a big piece of fat meat uneaten, there must be a reason.

"The Sun family has ancestral precepts..."

"Ancestral precepts? "

Old Man Ding nodded, "The ancestor of the Sun family set a family precept: All the children of the Sun family are not allowed to occupy a piece of land in Qianjia Town for life, otherwise their surnames will be revoked, the family tree will be destroyed, and they will be expelled from the family!"

Mo Hua was slightly surprised and sighed: "This Sun family ancestor is really a good formation master with a broad mind, what a pity..."

It's a pity that his descendants are not good.

Over there, Ding Miao'er finally finished eating the chicken. Looking at Mo Hua, he felt a little embarrassed and blushed.

This chicken was originally used by his grandfather to entertain Mo Hua, but he ate it all.

Mo Hua smiled and said:

"I want to go to the field to have a look. Can you take me there?"

Miao'er, who was full, nodded his little head immediately: "Yes!"

After that, Old Man Ding and Miao'er took Mo Hua to visit the spiritual field again.

Mo Hua asked some questions, and Old Man Ding answered them one by one.

But Mo Hua still didn't find any clues to the absolute formation.

Looking around, there were only six formation patterns in the spiritual field.

It was getting dark, so Mo Hua said goodbye and returned to the Sun family.

After meeting Mr. Zhuang and greeting him, Mo Hua went back to the house and exchanged information with Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi.

Bai Zisheng said:

"The head of the Sun family, Sun Yi, is a fool!"

"What's so stupid about him?" Mo Hua didn't quite understand.

Bai Zisheng looked around and whispered:

"He has been learning formations for seventy or eighty years, and has built a foundation, but his formations are not even at the first level, and his spiritual awareness is not even at the tenth level..."

Mo Hua opened his mouth wide, "He is a blockhead, right?"

Bai Zixi glanced at Mo Hua silently, and said lightly:

"Not everyone learns formations so quickly."

Mo Hua was slightly startled, and whispered: "It shouldn't be that slow... What does he do every day?"

Bai Zisheng curled his lips, "Eating and drinking tea, watching women dance, and inviting me and Zixi to watch..."

"Doesn't he learn formations?"

"Yes." Bai Zisheng said, "I only practice one formation every day..."

Mo Hua was silent.

No wonder...

He only practices one formation every day, not even a fraction of his own...

When will he become a first-level formation master?

It seems that it is not that he has poor comprehension, but that he indulges in comfort and is lazy.

"What about the formation level of other people in the Sun family?"

Bai Zisheng was even more disdainful, "The soldiers are cowardly, and the generals are all cowardly."

"If the head of the family is like this, don't count on others. His son, Sun Ze, can only draw four formation patterns until now..."

Mo Hua couldn't help but sigh.

The ancestors of the Sun family had a second-grade great formation master who could truly benefit the cultivators in a certain area.

And this second-grade formation master may have comprehended the ultimate formation.

But he didn't expect that his descendants would be domineering and indulge in pleasure.

Even after building the foundation, he didn't become a first-grade formation master.

"What about you, did you find out anything?" Bai Zisheng asked Mo Hua.

Mo Hua told him what he had found out, including the things about the ancestors of the Sun family, as well as the monopoly of formations for profit, the spiritual farmers' lack of rice, etc.

Bai Zisheng got angry when he heard this, "I didn't expect that he is not only a fool, but also a bad guy."

Mo Hua asked, "Will the Dao Ting Division not take care of things like the Sun family?"

Bai Zisheng didn't understand, so he looked at Bai Zixi.

Bai Zixi thought for a moment and said softly, "Generally, they won't take care of it."

"The Dao Ting Division is set up in Xiancheng and governs the territory of Xiancheng. The areas outside Xiancheng are governed by local families, sects, or local elders, and they just need to pay some spiritual stone taxes every year."

"The Dao Ting Division has the right to take care of such small places, but it is out of reach. Generally, unless something big happens, they won't bother to ask about it."

Mo Hua nodded.

The Dao Ting has a strict hierarchy, but some places below are fragmented, with intertwined interests, and the management is relatively loose.

As long as it does not affect the stability of the Dao Ting, many things will be turned a blind eye by the higher authorities.

Mo Hua couldn't help but look at Bai Zixi and praised:

"Senior sister, you know a lot."

Bai Zixi nodded slightly, her expression was calm, but her long eyelashes blinked, and there was a hint of pride in her beauty.

"Then you still haven't found the clues of the absolute formation?" Bai Zisheng asked.

Mo Hua nodded regretfully.

"What are you going to do next?"

"I'll go to Dongshan Village and the spiritual field when I have time. I've calculated that there should be clues in the spiritual field."

Even if there is no spiritual field in the hundred hectares now, it is very likely that the ancestor of the Sun family had drawn the absolute formation before.

That is what old man Ding said, the "traceless" formation...

In the next few days, Mo Hua would still run to Dongshan Village when he had time.

The Sun family told Sun Ze about his movements.

Sun Ze reported to his father, Sun Yi, the head of the Sun family.

"Dad, what does this kid want to do?" Sun Ze said unhappily.

Sun Yi frowned and said nothing.

"I sent someone to ask. That kid went to the spiritual field a few days ago and built a soil-cultivating formation. He went to an old man's house, had a meal, and then went into the spiritual field for a few rounds."

"In the past few days, he went there almost every day."

Sun Yi's eyes flashed, "You said he built a soil-cultivating formation?"

Sun Ze nodded.

Sun Yi couldn't believe it. "Such a little kid can actually build a soil-cultivating formation with six array patterns?"

He glanced at his son again, and said angrily:

"You should spend a little more time on the right things. You can only draw a formation with four array patterns. It's a disgrace to my Sun family!"

"Dad, you are not much better. You have built a foundation, but you are not even a first-grade formation master..."

Sun Ze complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, let alone talk back, so he said:

"Dad, what do you think this kid wants to do without showing off?"

Sun Yi's expression gradually became solemn, and suddenly his eyes sparkled:

"Formation... He is not going to take advantage of my Sun family's formation inheritance, is he..."

Sun Ze was also surprised, and then he was stunned, and said with some disappointment:

"But, Dad... What can we inherit from our family's formation?"

Aren't they all some common stuff?

It can only deceive those mud legs who don't know formations and only know how to farm.

It is said that the formation in the field must be repaired by their Sun family.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is an ordinary soil-cultivating formation.

"Dad, it's okay for you to deceive others, but don't deceive yourself..." Sun Ze said.

Sun Yi rebuked: "What do you know? Our Sun family has a secret inheritance from our ancestors!"
