Chapter 3536 Sharpening the Gun in Battle

Baji is one of the Taoist mystical arts, but it is a bit old. Nowadays, there are not many Taoist sects who are proficient in Baji. The current Taoist formations are generally Tai Chi, Liang Yi, Si Xiang, Beidou, Nandou, Bagua and Jiugong. It can be said that even Zhang Yu has never seen this Baji Formation.

From this, Zhang Yu could also feel that it was not only the Great Protector who was teaching Zhang Yu's disciples, but also Zhang Yu, himself.

The Great Protector talked eloquently. First, he talked about the principles of the eight extremes. The eight extremes are the eight directions, namely the northeast, the east, the southeast, the south, the southwest, the west, the northwest, and the north. The northeast is called Fangtu Mountain, called Cangmen; the east is called Dongji Mountain, called Kaiming Gate; the southeast is called Bomu Mountain, called Yangmen; the south is called Antarctic Mountain, called Summer Gate; and the southwest is called Jiebian. The mountain of Ju is called the White Gate; the mountain in the west is called Xiji Mountain, which is called the Gate of Changhe; the mountain in the northwest is called Buzhou Mountain, which is called the Gate of Youdu; the mountain in the north is called the North Pole Mountain, which is called the Han Gate. The eight directions are vast and boundless, and the formations laid out can be large or small. The eight poles determine the universe. You can advance, attack, retreat or defend.

After the Great Protector explained the principles of the Eight Extremes, he began to instruct the eight disciples to form formations according to the directions of the Eight Extremes. Like other formation principles, Baji is also suitable for trapping formations, killing formations, Feng Shui bureaus and making disposable magic weapons.

Since eight people work together to set up the formation, whether they are encountering a trap formation, a killing formation, a Feng Shui situation, or making a one-time magic weapon, eight people need to work together. When eight people join forces, a balance is needed. Otherwise, there will be strong and weak, with obvious advantages and disadvantages.

Under the guidance of the Great Protector, Zhang Yu, who was observing, also gained a considerable understanding of the Eight Extremes Formation.

That night, the Great Protector continued to explain until about two o'clock in the middle of the night, but he only taught simple changes. Feeling that the eight female disciples were a little tired, the Great Protector told them to go back and rest. After waking up in the morning, they should practice these first, wait until night, check themselves, and then continue to give guidance.

Everyone went back to rest, and Zhang Yu also returned to his abbot's courtyard to sleep. At dawn the next day, Zhang Yu had breakfast with Xia Yuechan and Meng Xinger, and then went to the courtyard of the side hall.

Wang Chunlan and other eight female disciples have arrived and started practicing. Zhang Yu is watching from the sidelines. He naturally understands the great protector's narration last night much better than the disciples. So while observing, I can also give some pointers. After all, the Great Protector has his own things to do, so I can't just follow him all the time.

At nine o'clock, Zhang Yu's cell phone rang. He took out his cell phone and saw that it was Zhang Qingfeng calling.

Zhang Yu immediately answered the question and said, "Infinite Heavenly Lord, is this Qingfeng?"

"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, disciples see Master." Zhang Qingfeng's voice rang on the phone.

"Qingfeng, what's the matter?" Zhang Yu asked.

"Back to Master, it's Junior Brother Xiong Jian from Lu Zuge who brought Junior Brother Qingmeizi, Junior Brother Peng Xiao, Junior Brother Tu Yazi and a group of disciples to pay homage to Master." Zhang Qingfeng said.

Xiong Jian, Qing Meizi and others all worshiped Zhang Yu as their teacher, and Wudang Taoist Temple and Lu Zuge were basically one family.

Now that Xiong Jian and the others suddenly came to pay their respects, Zhang Yu could immediately figure out what was going on. When discussing Taoism in Huashan, all sects and sects would participate, and Lu Zuge was naturally among them. As the abbot of Lu Zuge, Xiong Jian must not neglect it, and he must have come up with some achievements.

Xiong Jian's cultivation alone was obviously not enough to teach his disciples about formations, so he thought of Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu immediately said: "Invite them to meet in the Qingxin Hall in the side courtyard."

"Yes, Master." Zhang Qingfeng agreed immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yu asked Wang Chunlan and others to practice on their own. He went straight to the Qingxin Hall in the side courtyard.

When they arrived at Qingxin Hall, Zhang Qingfeng, Xiong Jian and others had not arrived yet. Zhang Yu came to sit down in the hall. After a while, footsteps sounded outside. Zhang Qingfeng led Xiong Jian, Peng Xiao, Qingmeizi, Tu Yazi and More than a dozen disciples of Lu Zuge entered the hall.

Everyone bowed together and said, "Disciple pays homage to Master."...

Zhang Yu nodded and said gently: "Xiong Jian, you came here to see me this time, but to prevent future discussions on Taoism in Mount Huashan."

"Exactly." Xiong Jian bowed and said: "This Huashan Taoism discussion is a big event, but the disciples are incompetent, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve any results. I made a special trip to visit today, hoping that Master can give me some guidance."

"However... this time, those who are qualified to compete in the Huashan Taoism Forum must be Taoist disciples with less than three years of experience. You and Qingmeizi may not be able to participate..." Zhang Yu said calmly.

"The disciple knows that, so this time we have selected the thirteen most outstanding disciples in Lu Zu Pavilion. Of course... the so-called excellence is probably not worth mentioning in the eyes of the master... I only hope that the master can give them some guidance this time. In the Huashan Taoism, I achieved a good result..." Xiong Jian said sincerely.

"Yes." Zhang Yu nodded and said, "We are all our own people, so naturally we don't need to speak the same language..."

With that said, he stood up, walked forward, and continued: "You guys follow me to the courtyard now, and I will select the disciples and give instructions on the formation..."

"Thank you, Master!"... Xiong Jian, Qing Meizi and others immediately said respectfully.

They followed Zhang Yu out of Qingxin Hall. Xiong Jian asked the thirteen young disciples he had brought to stand in a row for Zhang Yu to select.

I have to say that the disciples under Lu Zuge are really average. Of course, they are all disciples who have been in the industry for less than three years. It is considered good to be able to cultivate the true energy.

Zhang Yu selected eight disciples for instruction. The formation he taught was the Four Elephants and Bagua formation.

Eight people, two in a group, can form a four-image formation. When broken apart, it can be used as a Bagua formation. It can be formed alone, or it can be a variation of the Four Symbols and Bagua.

Of course, this is a common formation, and it’s really hard to say how extraordinary it is. But everyone is fighting against young disciples. It is not easy for young disciples to understand this formation.

In the days that followed, the Great Protector instructed the eight disciples under Zhang Yu to strengthen the practice of the Baji Formation. Zhang Yu was instructing Lu Zuge's disciples to set up formations and practice. He only hoped that within these few days, he could learn the basic changes well. In any case, among these Taoist sects, the one who is prepared in advance is probably Yangchun Guan. The same is true for other sects, which is to sharpen their guns before the battle.

If Lu Zuge's disciples sharpen their skills well, they might be able to achieve impressive results.

Generally speaking, days like this pass very quickly, as if we are racing against time, and we always feel that there is not enough time. In the blink of an eye, there is only one day left before the Huashan Forum.

Zhang Yu's disciples have at most mastered some basic changes in the Baji Formation, but they are not considered proficient. After all, the time is too short. The disciples of Lu Zuge, on the other hand, had only mastered a few changes and were barely able to cooperate without going too far. As for what kind of results can be achieved in tomorrow's Huashan Discussion Forum, it can only be seen on the spot.
