Gao Ge feels even more confused.
He can’t understand what the so-called Taoist Eyes are.
“People may have different kinds of eyes, such as Yin Yang Eyes, Magic Eyes, Wisdom Eyes and the most common eyes—Naked Eyes. Yet, if you want to learn magic arrays, you must have a pair of Taoist Eyes.” Master Guanshan takes a deep breath and adjusts his posture of lying on bed.
Gao Ge is still pondering, “Where is the name of Taoist Eyes from?”
“Do you know where I learnt the array method?”
Gao Ge shakes his head.
“The Taoist School.”
“The Taoist School?” Gao Ge is shocked, “I thought the school had vanished.”
“Yes, you are right.” Master Guanshan heaves a sigh, saying, “The Taoist School was a school that lasted for more than a thousand years, which featured Taoist magic. It is a pity that the school has vanished. However, 200 years ago, I was lucky to meet with a descendant of the Taoist School, who happened to have an ancient scroll about magic arrays. Hence, I became his apprentice and that was why I could learn something about magic array, except that I only gained a rudimentary knowledge of it.”
Master Guanshan can’t help sighing again.
“Only some basic knowledge of the ancient scroll about magic arrays can be so beneficial to me. You can imagine that how powerful the Taoist School used to be.” Master Guanshan sighs.
Gao Ge nods his head.
Although he doesn’t know much about the Taoist School, but based on what Master Guanshan said, he can guess some of it.
That should be the prime time of the cultivation world in Huaxia.
It is pitiful that the cultivation world has gone through turmoil for too many times and in the end, it gradually declines. However, it is not anyone’s fault. Confucian used the literature to disrupt the law, the Ranger used force to violate the ban. Under the circumstances, the future of Huaxia would be unimaginable without the employment of blood and iron policy. The so-called turmoil was nothing more like tearing off a piece of rotten flesh.
You may find it pitiful at the moment, but at that time, advantages definitely outweighed disadvantages.
After being silent for a while, Gao Ge looks at Master Guanshan, asking, “Then why can’t one learn array method without a pair of Taoist Eyes?”
Master Guanshan laughs, saying, “Without a pair of Taoist Eyes, one cannot even tell the width of the stairs.”
Gao Ge takes a tumble.
The only reason why he could crack the array method in the pavilion was because he was observative enough to find that the width of the stairs was different.
If he couldn’t recognize that, he would never have cracked the array method for his life.
“Actually, array method is not as mysterious as imagined. Simply put, it is a camouflage. Metaphorically, it is an energy field that can disrupt common people’s seeing and hearing.” Master Guanshan says, “As long as you can grasp these two points, it won’t be hard to comprehend array method.”
In fact, what Master Guanshan means is that those who can grasp it won’t feel difficult while those who find it difficult won’t be able to grasp it.
A layman must feel so confused at what he said.
And Gao Ge happens to be a layman.
Master Guanshan has spent so much time explaining but Gao Ge doesn’t give any response. Thus, he becomes disgruntled.
“Are you listening or not?”
Gao Ge suddenly takes a tumble.
Actually, he is woken up from a trance.
Master Guanshan sighs.
He is still thinking whether this guy is smart or silly.
Actually, Gao Ge is not really into this nor feels great awe for it. He regards the array method learning as a skill. It’s like he is learning cooking from a famous chef. It will be great if he masters it but if he can’t, he won’t feel much troubled.
“As far as I know, regardless the type of arrays, you can still crack it forcibly if you are capable enough.” Gao Ge says.
Master Guanshan frowns and says, “You really think so?”
Gao Ge feels a bit confused at his question, “Aren’t I right?”
Master Guanshan laughs, “You are right and also aren’t. With enough power, you can crack the array indeed. Yet, it also depends on the capability of the array practitioner. If the practitioner is as capable as the cracker or even only a bit weaker, the array won’t be cracked anyway.”
Gao Ge finally gets to understand.
“Moreover, as long as you have mastered how to set up arrays, you don’t need to worry even in the face of a formidable opponent. As long as you lure the opponent into the array you’ve set, you will be in charge with an absolute advantage. Apart from that, boy, have you ever heard of achieving Taoism by array?”
Gao Ge shakes his head.
Gao Ge knows if you pursue the road of achieving Taoism by sword, you are regarded as a swordsman.
Lou Zhoutian tries to achieve Taoism by Confucianism.
Yet, Gao Ge has never heard of achieving Taoism by array.
When he says no to Master Guanshan, he feels quite embarrassed, wondering whether he will be mocked for ignorance.
Master Guanshan laughs, not in a teasing way. Then he starts to elaborate it to Gao Ge.
“Actually, the so-called achieving Taoism by array is not complicated, but very few people can make it. When a master of array method cultivates himself to the extremity, he will generate a powerful realm.”
“A realm?”
“Yes, a realm with himself as the center. Within the realm, the strong man who achieves Taoism is almost unrivaled.”
Gao Ge feels that Master Guanshan is being exaggerating. There won’t be a person really unrivaled. If everyone is unrivaled, then it just doesn’t make sense.
However, even if Gao Ge is dubious of what he said, undoubtedly, he is yearning for that kind of realm.
“In the world of Taoism, people have no selves and everyone is treated fairly. Every cultivator can get to the peak in his own way.” Master Guanshan says, “Even if others don’t agree to that, it is no big deal, because that will motivate you to testify the way to Taoism. Just due to the fact that others don’t understand or recognize your way, you will work harder to strive for it.”
Gao Ge can’t help but clap his hands.
Master Guanshan gives a satisfied smile.
“Now, do you understand what I am trying to tell you?”
Gao Ge nods his head heavily, “Yes, I do.”
“Tell me about it.”
“You are trying to brainwash me.” Gao Ge says.
Master Guanshan is speechless.
Gao Ge laughs and bows to him respectfully.
“Master, please tell me about the array method in detail.”
Master Guanshan is finally relieved.
The boy is not easily bamboozled.
However, if Master Guanshan can make it, it won’t be a bad thing.
When Master Guanshan is about to give the lesson, Gao Ge suddenly thinks of something and hastens to ask, “Now that you are my master, then what are the sovereign and other seniors to me?”
“Daotu is my student’s student, which makes him your nephew.” Master Guanshan says casually.
Gao Ge instantly wants to give him a kowtow.
Holy crap...
So, Gao Ge becomes the uncle of the sovereign of the Heaven School?
However, according to the seniority of the Heaven School—Guan, Dao, Wang, Shan, Ting, Feng, Wen and Shui, shouldn’t Master Guanshan be the master of the sovereign of Heaven School?
