Chapter 1059
Just as Xu Shan was checking the system panel, Zhang Liansong and Chen Dingtian caught up together.
The two of them spent nearly half an hour examining the formation's patterns.
Upon experiencing this eerie atmosphere firsthand, the outspoken "Secondhand Pen King" Zhang Gou Dan immediately said, "Sir, this formation contains both the Zen wisdom of Buddhism and the sinister power of the demonic sects."
"How bizarre!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Dingtian sneered, "If you're ugly, you should read more books. After all, your nominal master is the Nine Lives Master of the Ming Dynasty [charlatan]."
"A master of both formations and divination. You can't even see through this little bit of 'formation'?"
"This formation is based on Buddhist Zen principles. However, due to Shunfeng's 'falling from Buddhism to demonic influence,' the Buddhist truths he had come to understand were corrupted by demonic influences. Therefore, this formation contains both Buddhist Zen principles and the sinister nature of demonic forces."
"In the formation, this is known as the 'Second Heaven'."
"When breaking this formation, you must not only resist the evil influence of the demonic sect, but also comprehend the Zen principles within the formation."
"Profound and mysterious, difficult and difficult."
After deliberately raising his voice and speaking these words in a meaningful tone, Chen Dingtian raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xu Shan, who had been silent for a long time.
"The Great Ming Dynasty's King of Calligraphy, are you bewildered?"
"Is this the first time you've encountered such a mysterious and bizarre formation?"
"Overwhelmed and at a loss? Don't know where to start?"
"So, you're taciturn?"
"Come, beg me."
"If you can make me happy, maybe I'll find a way to break the formation within a few days?"
Chen Dingtian, whose mind was racing, was grinning from ear to ear.
What he wanted was Xu Shan's respectful and courteous attitude.
Especially after witnessing him slay the Heavenly Punishment and enter the Saint Realm, this thought became even stronger!
The Great Ming War God, the Chief of the Divine Strategist Bureau, and the youngest Saint Realm expert all have to lower their proud heads in front of me. This feeling is incredibly exhilarating!
Is it really that mysterious?
"According to what my second uncle said, in order to break this formation, shouldn't we first figure out what 'Zen principle' this formation is based on, and then slowly break it?"
Upon hearing Zhang Liansong's words, Chen Dingtian nodded emphatically and replied with a smile, "This young man is teachable."
"But figuring out this 'Zen secret' is not easy."
"Either you must be someone with a karmic connection to Buddhism, or you must be someone who is extremely knowledgeable about Buddhism."
"Both the former and the latter are extremely rare in this world."
At this point, Chen Dingtian deliberately paused for a few moments. Seeing everyone's gaze fixed on him, he stood proudly with his hands behind his back and said, "I truly envy you all. You got to know me so early!"
"I, Chen Dingtian, have been battling with Buddhism for decades and have conducted in-depth research on its Zen principles."
"Young Master Xu, shouldn't you make a statement?"
With his eyebrows raised, Master Chen gently patted his Taoist robe while questioning him with a bright smile.
In his view, Xu Shan, who had been keeping a close eye on the map, had run out of ideas.
I've lost my composure.
However, upon hearing Chen Dingtian's words, Xu Shan, without even raising his head, instructed others, "Yuanfang!"
"To!"
"Notify Battalion A to start a fire, cook, and replenish their strength."
"Two hours later, they will leap over the Shu Mountains and launch a surprise attack on the important Bo Road in Shu, completely opening the gateway to Shu."
"Yes."
"Ok?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Dingtian, who had previously been acting as both the straight man and the comedian, instantly broke down.
He rushed to Xu Shan's side, his eyes wide as he asked, "Crossing Mount Shu in two hours?"
"Let's put aside the Shunfeng forces holding this position for now. As for this formation in front of us... even I wouldn't be able to break it in three to five days."
"Who gave you the audacity to say so brazenly that you will cross the Shu Mountains and launch a surprise attack on the Bo Road in two hours?"
After Chen Dingtian finished speaking, he slowly looked up and glanced at Xu Shan, then lowered his head to deduce the route of advance.
During this time, he replied with an air of arrogance, "Who gave me that confidence?"
"Isn't the name 'Xu Shan' enough to give us confidence?"
"Fuck!"
Chen Dingtian, whose face was splashed with Xu Shan's arrogance, immediately cursed.
Even Zhang Liansong was accidentally injured by Yu Jin!
"No, sir. Have you grasped the 'Zen wisdom' behind this formation?"
"Comprehension?"
"Is this mere 'second level' formation really worth the effort to comprehend?"
"Then I must be a poor student."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dingtian, feeling as if a thousand ants were gnawing at his body, scratched his head and said, "Damn it, then tell me, what is the Zen principle behind this formation?"
After he finished speaking, Xu Shan slowly straightened up and looked flippantly at the formation directly in front of him.
He then answered with great sophistication, word by word: "To reveal the true nature of reality through expedient means, to unite the three into one, and to advocate that the Hearer Vehicle, the Solitary Realizer Vehicle, and the Bodhisattva Vehicle all return to the One Buddha Vehicle..."
Completely bewildered, Zhang Liansong stared wide-eyed at Chen Dingtian, who was already stunned beside him, after Xu Shan finished speaking. He asked, "Second, Second Uncle, what, what Zen riddle is this?"
This time, before Master Chen could speak, Xu Shan replied with a smile, "The Lotus Sutra."
"Ah? My lord, then this formation is..."
"【The Lotus Sutra Treasure-Seizing Formation】!"
"It's just that it has gathered the corrupted Heavenly Fortune. That's why the entire formation appears so strange."
Upon hearing his master's words, Zhang Liansong turned his 'seeking confirmation' gaze to his second martial uncle beside him.
After half an hour of investigation, Chen Dingtian, who had also come to this conclusion, was deeply hurt by the other party's coercive attitude.
He didn't go to investigate, much less enter the formation to gain insight.
To be more precise, during those half hours, his focus was entirely on the troop deployment and formation at Mount Shu.
Then, he revealed the secret in one sentence?
what does this mean?
This means that from the moment he sensed the formation, he knew its secrets.
It became even clearer that this was the [Treasure-Stealing Tathagata Lotus Sutra Formation] that had been corrupted by the wind.
Trying to show off but ending up being criticized instead?
Chen Dingtian, his eyes wide open, was suddenly overwhelmed with a sense of powerlessness!
This kid's writing style is just too damn aggressive.
"Xu, Xu Shan..."
"Can you break this formation?"
After a brief silence, Chen Dingtian swallowed hard and quickly pressed for an answer.
At this moment...
Zhang Liansong recalled the earnest teachings he received from Wang Qinian, Li Yuanfang, Wu Jieyu, Wang Wushang, and others during their on-site instruction.
Then, without even waiting for his master to speak, the second-hand braggart, equally arrogant, asked, "Can it be broken?"
"Old Chen, please remove the 'ma'!"
"In the Ming Dynasty, my master is omnipotent!"
'Snapped. '
"piss off!"
"You, surnamed Xu, are criticizing me too?"
Just as Chen Dingtian, furious, was reprimanding his junior apprentice, Xu Shan heard the system notification sound in his mind again.
