Chapter 993 Odds of Winning

Taixu Hall, regular meeting of the Three Meridians.

After Master Tai'a said this, Master Taixu was a little stunned.

He never expected that there would be people rushing to add people to Mo Hua's team.

"I'm afraid...it's not appropriate..." Head Taixu frowned.

As a result, the plan became even more chaotic.

More importantly, he didn't know the meaning of the ink paintings.

If Mo Hua's team is all set and full of people, and he forces people in, Mo Hua may be unhappy.

Mo Hua has always been very methodical in doing things, and he has the support of his ancestors behind him.

As the leader, he occasionally has to take Mo Hua's mood into consideration when making decisions.

However, the head of Tai'a insisted:

"This is my condition. If you agree to it, my Tai'a lineage has no other objections. The sword discussion conference will be decided by you."

"When the three meridians merge, one will be prosperous and all will be prosperous, and one will be devastated."

"How can this be done if there are no disciples of my Tai Ashan in swordsmanship?"

In this team, Mo Hua is not that important, the key is Linghu Xiao.

This is the only "Tianjiao only seedling" among the three Taixu meridians combined, so no matter what, a disciple of Tai'amen must be added to this team.

This is called a grasshopper on a rope.

Even if they are tied, they must be tied to death.

The head of Taixu was silent. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "I will consider this matter..."

"It's natural."

Leader Tai'a didn't force it either.

When it comes to swords, one must think carefully and make careful decisions.

Since then, the regular meetings have been dispersed.

The three meridians each return to the mountain.

Chongxu Mountain, in the main hall of the back mountain.

Master Chongxu told Ancestor Linghu everything.

"The original arrangement has been disrupted. Xiao'er may have to go to the sword debate with the 'formation monster' from Taixu Sect."

Ancestor Linghu frowned, "What did Xiao'er say? Have you asked him?"

Head Chongxu nodded and sighed: "After asking, he just said that he wants to be with Mo Hua."

Ancestor Linghu suddenly felt sour in his heart.

His "treasure" from Chongxumen was abducted by Taixumen.

Still voluntary.

The head of Chongxu could see that the ancestor felt a little unhappy, so he said: "How about I think of a way to persuade Xiao'er to form a team with a disciple of my 'Chongxu' lineage."

This sword discussion conference is said to be the confluence of three branches and the three sects are one, but each branch is secretly competing with each other.

As long as the disciples of the Chongxu Sect perform well in the Sword Discussion Conference, the "Chongxu" lineage's status in the Taixu Sect will also be higher in the future.

He is the leader, and even if the three sects merge, it is his duty to prioritize the interests and status of his own lineage.

The head of Chongxu continued: "...Although Xiao'er has a cold temperament, he is not a cold-blooded person. He can be understood with reason and moved with emotion. Coupled with the great righteousness inherited from the 'Chongxu' lineage, he should Will agree..."

Ancestor Linghu was a little moved.

But after thinking about it, he still shook his head, "A child like Xiao'er is arrogant. If you let go properly, he will appreciate your love. If you force it, no matter how nice you say it, he will feel resentful in his heart."

"Don't treat him like a fool because he is just a child, and tie him up with some moral principles."

"Although his mind is simple, his intuition is sharp."

"He knows who is really good to him."

Leader Chongxu thought for a moment and nodded, "What the ancestor said is true."

In fact, he doesn't want to be this "evil person".

But identity sometimes has to be considered.

"Then this matter..."

"That's it." Ancestor Linghu sighed, "Taixu Sect Mo Hua is the leader of the formation, so he is a good match for Xiaoer's team. And..."

Ancestor Linghu pondered for a moment and frowned, "This kid named 'Mo Hua' is full of cleverness and eccentricity. He is also the 'treasure pimple' in the eyes of Ancestor Xun. He is probably somewhat capable, at least he shouldn't be a hindrance..." "

He had never seen ink paintings with his own eyes, so he could only make inferences based on general circumstances.

"Yes." Head Chongxu said.

Ancestor Linghu glanced at Master Chongxu again and reminded him slowly:

"Now that the three veins have merged, the top priority is to work together in the same boat."

"If the sect is strong, then we can fight for some benefits. If the sect loses, fighting over and over again will only amount to three melons and two dates, which is meaningless."

The head of Chongxu understood what the ancestor meant, and immediately raised his hands and said: "What the ancestor said is true."

Ancestor Linghu waved his hand gently.

The leader of Chongxu then retreated.

The hall became deserted for a moment.

Ancestor Linghu sat there for a long time, his eyebrows becoming more solemn.

There was something he didn't say because it was unlucky.

But he is an ancestor, he stands tall and can see far, and he actually knows it very well in his heart.

"If the three sects merge and lose again, it is not certain whether there will be a 'Chongxu Sect' in the future..."

…

On the other side, the head of Taixu also found Mo Hua.

"Adding people?" Mo Hua was a little surprised.

"A genius from the Tai'a lineage," said the head of Taixu. "The head of Tai'a values ​​you and must lead his disciples."

The head of Taixu spoke nicely to prevent Mo Hua from being repulsed.

When Mo Hua was praised, his face became much happier.

"What's your name?"

"Ouyang Xuan." Head Taixu said.

"Ouyang Xuan..."

Mo Hua pondered for a moment.

This name is a bit unfamiliar, and it seems that we have not had any interactions with each other before.

But it was normal to think about it. He was not very familiar with the disciples from Tai Amen.

Although the three sects merged and thousands of disciples from the three sects called him "little senior brother", there were too many people and he couldn't remember them all.

Moreover, many people only shout superficially, but they must be dissatisfied deep down, and they will distance themselves a bit on weekdays.

"Okay, I'll take him with me." Mo Hua said.

Apart from anything else, the face of the head of Tai'a must be given.

The head of Taixu pondered for a moment and then said:
"This Ouyang Xuan is the most talented and powerful disciple in Tai'a's lineage, but he seems to have a bad temper and a somewhat unruly temperament..."

He wanted Mo Hua to be mentally prepared and not to cause any discord.

Mo Hua said: "Master, don't worry. I don't have a very good temper, and I'm also very unruly. We should be able to get along with each other."

Head Taixu: "..."

"Is it really... no problem?" Head Taixu said slowly.

"It's okay," Mo Hua nodded, "I just like 'unruly' people."

The head of Taixu was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "Okay..."

The matter is settled.

With the addition of Ouyang Xuan from Tai Amen, the people of Mo Hua are now complete.

But Mo Hua has not seen this "Ouyang Xuan" yet, and does not know what his character and cultivation are like, or whether he can cooperate well, so it is difficult to make arrangements. We can only meet him later and consider this issue again.

The disciple is in the middle, and in front of Mo Hua, there are albums of pictures.

The atlas depicts mountains, rivers, swamps, dangerous ridges, ruins, caves and other terrains.

This was all given to him by Senior Sister Murong.

These terrains may be encountered in the Sword Discussion Conference.

In addition, there are various tactical planning diagrams, formation diagrams, and spiritual weapon casting diagrams.

These are some of the tactical processes he imagined by simulating actual combat.

But despite all the preparations, Mo Hua still felt uneasy.

Discussing swords is different from discussing formations.

Formation is the field he is most proficient in. No matter who his opponent is, he will not be a little uneasy, especially in the realm of Qianxue State, compared with the disciples of the sect.

But when it comes to swords, he has no actual combat experience.

Without actual combat, just "seeing" is not enough.

What's more, even if he did, he had only seen one conference - before the restructuring.

After the sect was reorganized, the system and form of sword discussion have changed.

At that time, Mo Hua had to prepare for the formation conference, and all his thoughts were focused on the formation, so he did not go there to see it.

He had only briefly heard about the specific changes and had never seen them with his own eyes.

Therefore, his plan lacked verification, and he was not sure whether it would work or not.

In the Sword Discussion Conference, there are many disciples participating, the terrain is complex, the shapes are changeable, and there are many natural variables.

In addition, there are too many geniuses. Even with him and Xiaoxiao and the others, it would be difficult to reach the top of the list.

"The situation is not good, how about...do the math?"

Mo Hua hesitated for a moment, took out the copper coins, deduced a little, and soon frowned.

Heavenly secret calculations, infer "cause" and "effect".

Under the current situation, all the planning and preparations he had made, coupled with the "cause" of the weather, the right location, the right people, and various factors, could not achieve the "result" he wanted, the first place in sword theory. .

Even the cause and effect are far apart.

This also means that being the first in swordsmanship is hopeless.

The eyes painted in ink reveal thoughts.

This is a foreshadowing of "heaven's secret" and a judgment of cause and effect.

The so-called "secret" may seem illusory and elusive to outsiders.

But the longer I study ink painting, the more I feel that the essence of heaven is the accumulation of huge cause and effect, and cause and effect is the principle of all things.

It's just that the secret is profound, the cause and effect are changeable, and it's full of variables, which makes it seem elusive.

But the inner context can be seen.

Only when there are enough objective "causes" can the desired "effect" eventually develop.

This is an ink painting that combines "divine calculations", "divine calculations" and "returning to the source algorithm", has extraordinary spiritual thoughts, and uses divine knowledge to prove the Tao. Through constant contact with objective facts, studying the law of cause and effect, and summing up , a general feeling similar to "divine intuition".

This is a simple intuition.

But because Mo Hua's spiritual awareness is too strong and his spiritual attainments are too deep, this intuition is more like an "innate" insight.
He didn't even need to calculate or reason carefully. After a brief consideration in his mind, he could realize that his path would not work.

He wants to be the best in swordsmanship.

But this "fruit" is floating in the sky and cannot be touched at all.

Mo Hua sighed slightly.

"Still not working..."

"How can I get the first place in the debate?"

This problem bothered Mo Hua for several days. He even thought about it while eating and walking.

But the more I thought about it, the more I fell into a dead end.

His own strength is more restricted.

Although Xiaoxiao is strong, there is only one person.

There are a group of top geniuses in the four major sects.

There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

As long as you don't be blindly confident and look at it objectively, you will find that this number one swordsman doesn't have much hope at all.

Unless your luck is really bad.

But luck is elusive and cannot be counted on.

In the grove outside the disciple's home, Mo Hua finished his class and walked on the path, still thinking about this issue while walking.

He didn't even hear anyone say hello to him.

"Little senior brother..."

"Little senior brother?"

Mo Hua was startled, then came to his senses and realized that it was Xie Ling calling him.

Xie Ling handed him a few jade slips, "Senior Brother, you said before that you were interested in the monks' tombs and the Yin House Formation. I collected some and gave them to you to see."

"Oh..." Mo Hua looked stunned.

After his trip to the Gushan tombs, he felt that tomb formations, including related common sense, were a shortcoming in his monastic experience.

Even after walking through the tomb, there are still many details that I don’t understand.

He asked Xie Ling, who was born in the Qiongyin world of Genzhou and had a family tradition of Feng Shui secrets, to ask some questions and asked him to find information for him.

The world of cultivation is vast and boundless, a monk's lifespan is limited, and what he sees and learns is also limited.

Therefore, we need to communicate with each other and confirm each other, so that our horizons can be broadened step by step, and our cognition can be improved step by step.

Mo Hua learned a lot from Xie Ling. Now Xie Ling specially prepared some jade slips and classics for him, and Mo Hua was even more grateful.

"In the future, if someone bullies you in Taixu Sect, you can come to me..."

Mo Hua said with certainty.

In other places, he can't boast about Haikou.

But in this three-acre area of ​​Taixumen, his words are still useful.

Xie Ling was a little dumbfounded, but he was also grateful, "Thank you, little senior brother."

Mo Hua put away the jade slips and planned to look at them later when he had time. Then he and Xie Ling went back to the disciple's residence together.

We chatted for a while on the road and talked about the sword discussion conference a few months later. Xie Ling's words were filled with envy.

Mo Hua was a little curious, "Aren't you going to participate?"

Xie Ling nodded.

"Why?" Mo Hua asked.

Xie Ling said: "I am self-aware. The family inheritance from elementary school is Feng Shui Tomb, and I am not good at fighting people head-on."

"My qualifications for the upper and lower grades of spiritual roots may still be ranked in the Xie family in Genzhou. But in this Qianxue state, I can only be ranked at the bottom."

"My spiritual roots are only middle to lower." Mo Hua said.

Xie Ling laughed and said, "Senior brother, you are different. Although your spiritual roots are not good, your formation skills are very powerful. As for me..."

Xie Ling sighed, "I am not as good as others in everything. If I go, I will be cannon fodder. I will only lose the sect's face."

Mo Hua looked at Xie Ling, paused slightly, and asked:

"Then do you want to participate in the sword debate?"

Xie Ling was silent.

After a moment, he sighed calmly:

"Senior Brother, some people in this world are destined to be just spectators."

Since we are spectators, we can only stand aside and watch the "protagonists" shine on the stage.

They only have applause.

When Xie Ling said this, his expression was very calm.

This is something he has understood since he came to Qianxue State Border, and he has gradually begun to accept this cold reality.

On the sword discussion stage, the scenery is endless.

But most people can only sit in the audience and be spectators.

And most people can only be such an audience that is lost in the crowd throughout their lives.

Just like him.

Xie Ling looked downcast.

Mo Hua's eyes were stunned, and he didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.

He can say nice things, but this kind of "little talk" that only sounds nice has no meaning at all.

The two of them walked to the disciple's residence and parted ways.

Xie Ling's mentality recovered quickly.

It's just a little bit of envy, a little bit of loss, a little bit of frustration, a little bit of unwillingness, and a little bit of helplessness.

A mediocre "lower" disciple like him has long been accustomed to this feeling.

"Little senior brother, keep up the good work on the sword debate!" Xie Ling said to Mo Hua sincerely.

Mo Hua nodded with a complicated expression.

But in his heart, he felt uncomfortable.

Mo Hua felt a little sour in his heart until he returned to his disciple's residence.

In this world, everyone wants to be the protagonist.

No one wants to remain unknown.

But a disciple like Xie Ling couldn't even form a team, and he didn't know how to compete with others.

They are all children of aristocratic families.

But in the realm of Qianxue, they are undoubtedly "lower class" disciples.

And since we are at the "lower level", there must be many such disciples...

The expression in the ink painting is silent.

He sat at the table, looking at the tactical diagram he had drawn in a daze. After an unknown amount of time, an idea flashed in his mind.

Mo Hua was suddenly startled.

He suddenly realized that his previous idea was not quite right.

He had previously thought about how he should plan to become "first in swordsmanship."

This idea is essentially wrong.

It’s not about yourself, you have to be first.

A person's power is limited.

No matter how strong I am, I can't really compete with the top geniuses from the four major sects.

What he should do is to mobilize the entire Taixu Sect disciples and let them all fight hard.

It’s not your own team that wants to take first place.

But Taixu Sect wants to take first place.

As long as the Taixu Sect takes first place and the "Yimu Rejuvenation Formation" falls into the hands of the Taixu Sect, it is equivalent to falling into their own hands.

Whether you are number one or not is irrelevant.

His purpose is just formation.

"If we want Taixu Sect to take first place..."

Mo Hua looked attentively in thought.

The Sword Discussion Conference is a "cumulative victory system". Every time you win a round, you will accumulate a certain number of victory points. The sect with the highest victory points will be ranked first in the sword discussion.

Therefore, the essence of the sword discussion conference is actually "sect sword discussion".

It is to select the sect with the strongest education for its disciples.

Rather than selecting the strongest "disciple" in the sect.

Because of this, sword discussion is a small team system, and only the winning points will be given to the sect.

This may have been the original intention of the ancestors of Qianxue Zhoujie to hold sword discussions in the first place.

They want the disciples to work together and contribute to the sect as a measure of the sect's development.

This is how the sect is "discussing swords".

However, with the development of the cultivation world and the evolution of the sword theory system, this original intention has gradually been forgotten.

Nowadays, when discussing swordsmanship, it is about comparing whose disciple is the best.

The two may seem similar, but their meanings are vastly different.

Although Taixu Sect currently does not have any "top-notch" disciples, after the merger of the three sects, it has a larger base of disciples.

As long as the disciples at the bottom level win enough, the Taixu Sect will accumulate more winning points, and the chance of winning will naturally be greater.

Mo Hua recalled what his master had told him back then.

The master asked him to be a monk who "assists" in killing, so that there would be fewer disputes and he would be invincible.

But the master only talked about assisting, but did not say how many people were assisted.

To assist one person is to assist.

Supporting the first team is auxiliary.

But just like assisting an entire term, or even an entire sect's disciples, they are also "auxiliary".

"Assist" the entire Taixu Sect disciples to mobilize the greatest strength and mobilize the entire sect to strive for this first place!

We can't leave our junior brothers alone.

Being strong alone is not considered strong, only being strong when everyone is strong and the sect is strong is really strong.

Only in this way can he be regarded as the true "little senior brother" of Taixu Sect!
Mo Hua's eyes became brighter and brighter.

In front of his eyes, a path that implies the secret of heaven and communicates cause and effect is becoming clearer and clearer.

After thinking about it, Mo Hua immediately started preparations.

Every tactic, formation, and spiritual weapon plan... were redesigned and improved by him.

The next day, Mo Hua found Cheng Mo:

"Call all the junior brothers over here. I have something to tell them."
