Chapter 149 Practicing Talismans
In the underground mansion on the top of the Mountain of the Venerable in the Hollow Valley, Ye Xuan was concentrating on practicing the drawing of the charm.
Although the strength of the monks of the Northern Witch Sect is not very strong, the five charms that Ye Xuan got from Mei Huayu are stronger than the other.
According to what Mei Huayu said, the ancestors of the Wumen in Northern Xinjiang, the most powerful monks are only two Jindan real people. But in this case, the Northern Xinjiang Wumen has inherited five kinds of charms that can shake the Yuanying Sage, which shows that the Northern Xinjiang Wumen has also produced several amazing talents.
But then again, no matter how talented a genius is, can there still be a genius Ye Xuan? These five charms are useless in Mei Huayu's hands, but in Ye Xuan's hands, they are very easy to use.
But easy is easy, and you have to wait until Ye Xuan learns to feel relaxed!
Charms are not like anything else, and even if you learn how to draw them and how to use them, you may not be able to use them effectively.
Among them, there is also the power of the mind.
And this idea doesn't necessarily mean that it's strong enough!
Take this thunder talisman as an example, the thunder talisman, as the name suggests, is to borrow thunder from the gods for their own use. When using the Thunder Charm, in addition to the Thunder Charm, the monk also needs to convey his thoughts to the gods.
So what exactly is this idea?
Naturally, it is the idea of thunder!
In fact, in the final analysis, all the power that the monk relies on the charm to obtain comes from the gods of the spirit world or the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth! This thunder charm is a way for the monk to borrow the heavenly thunder from the gods in charge of the thunder path in the spirit world.
Charms and spells only allow monks to communicate with the spirit world and find the corresponding gods. But what the monk really wants to pray for, and how to express it, is still to express it to the gods through his thoughts.
Among the Taoist sects, there are some monks who do not practice charms, and they always think that their thoughts are nothing more than the importance of their thoughts. But in fact, the classification of thoughts is much more complicated than true qi.
The simplest example of the importance of the mind is the degree to which a person pays attention to something.
However, aside from this importance, the mind carries something else.
Take emotions, for example.
If a person stands in the middle of a group of happy people, then he must be able to feel the joy that surrounds him, and if he is standing in the middle of a group of sad people, then he must be able to feel the sadness around him.
This kind of joy and sadness, which can be easily perceived, is the emotional manifestation of the mind.
In addition to emotions, thoughts also contain different and complex things such as appeals, meditation, and communication.
In general, if you compare a charm to a telephone and a mantra to a number, then the mind is like the language of communication.
Borrowing power from a ghost with a charm is the same as borrowing power from a ghost on the phone.
With a charm, you have the ability to communicate with the spirit world, and with a charm, you can find a specific god in the spirit world.
But it is obviously impossible to ask the gods for help with these two things alone!
You also have to be able to communicate!
This requires a specific mind.
As far as the five kinds of spells of the Northern Witch Gate are concerned, any of them, Ye Xuan can draw them in a very short time, and skillfully recite the corresponding spells, but Ye Xuan did not try it rashly.
Why? It's because he doesn't know what this particular idea is.
In the past, Ye Xuan had also used a lot of spells, but those spells were relatively low-level, basically borrowing elemental power from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and there was no need to use the so-called complex ideas at all.
Take the Five Elements Escape Charm as an example, this Five Elements Escape Charm is that the user invokes the five elements between heaven and earth, so that he temporarily has the ability to merge with the five elements of heaven and earth. In this process, any monk who has a bit of Taoism can basically easily invoke the elements with the help of charms, and there is no need to communicate with anyone at all.
So until this moment, Ye Xuan didn't know what it was like to communicate with ghosts and gods.
No, to be precise, I don't know what it's like to communicate with other ghosts!
Because at this time, there was a large stack of very high-level charms in Ye Xuan's Qiankun Ten Thousand Spirit Bag, and those charms required the user to communicate with the corresponding ghosts and gods with his mind in order to gain power.
And the object of this communication is the old immortals of the Immortal Village...
For Ye Xuan's request, the old immortals must have responded to their requests, so who would care what he thought or not.
However, the five talismans that Ye Xuan obtained from the Wumen of Northern Xinjiang corresponded to the ghosts and gods that were not the old immortals of the Immortal Village, even if Ye Xuan was already a Yuanying Saint, if he didn't know what ideas were needed to communicate with this kind of ghosts and gods, he would not be able to use the spells effectively.
"Alas, this one is painted again, again!"
Ye Xuan let out a long breath, then grabbed a yellow talisman that had been drawn on the table in front of him, rubbed it vigorously, and threw it into the trash can next to him without looking at it.
Ye Xuan didn't know what kind of mind to use to use the Thunder Talisman, but he knew how to learn this kind of mind.
In fact, whether it is a charm or a spell, it is just the embodiment of the idea of its creator.
For the true masters of the spell, they don't even need specific charms and spells, they can rely on their minds alone, and they can ask for power from ghosts and gods.
The reason why specific talismans and spells are passed down is mainly so that future generations can learn better.
Just like the ancestors in ancient times, the ancestors prayed, where would they know what charms and spells, but the prayers of the ancestors were often so effective.
This is because the ancestors themselves had a certain ability to communicate with ghosts and gods.
Then again, since charms and spells are the embodiment of the mind of the person who prays, then from the charm and spell, the corresponding thoughts can be traced.
This process is difficult, but it is not difficult for Ye Xuan.
Through the continuous depiction of the Thunder Talisman and the recitation of the Thunder Charm, Ye Xuan had a general understanding of what kind of idea the Thunder Talisman contained in the Thunder Talisman was.
Ye Xuan couldn't express this kind of idea in words, but he just knew that this idea was like that.
When Ye Xuan first started to draw the thunder talisman, he was just using a cinnabar pen to simply draw, but after painting a few more times, Ye Xuan gradually discovered that there were some other things hidden in this seemingly simple thunder talisman.
The same goes for the Thunder Curse.
Ye Xuan couldn't say these things hidden in the thunder talisman and thunder spell, but as if a free force was guiding in the dark, he just knew what to do.
For example, a certain syllable of the Thunder Charm should be low and a certain syllable should be high-pitched! At the beginning of Ye Xuan's practice, he didn't know these things at all, but as time went by, Ye Xuan knew it inexplicably.
Ye Xuan knew that his ultimate goal was probably about to be achieved.
"Sure enough, it's Thunder!"
After drawing a thunder talisman again, Ye Xuan did not rush to throw away the talisman and redraw it, but held his chin and carefully observed it for a while.
Because on the thunder talisman drawn this time, Ye Xuan saw something!
Thunder!
It is also a thunder talisman, and it is also drawn stroke by stroke, but whether it is the thunder talisman drawn by the Taoist figure who jumped out of the wooden fish at the Wumen headquarters in Northern Xinjiang before, or the thunder talisman drawn by Ye Xuan before, none of them gave Ye Xuan any special feeling.
But only this one, Ye Xuan felt a thunderbolt falling from the sky at a glance.
What does this phenomenon represent, Ye Xuan couldn't be clearer in his heart, feeling thunder on a piece of rune paper does not mean that the rune paper is thunder, but his mind has already met the requirements for using thunder talismans!
He had learned how to express his prayers for thunder with his mind.
It was only at this moment that Ye Xuan, who had been drawing talismans all night, finally showed a bright smile on his face.
"I'll use you as my first thunder talisman!"
Ye Xuan grabbed the thunder talisman in front of him, and then quickly walked out of the mansion of the man in the empty valley.
He was going to test the power of the Thunder Charm.
"This place should be secluded enough, right?"
On the top of a hill two kilometers away from the barren mountain where the mansion of the Master of the Empty Valley was located, Ye Xuan held the thunder talisman in his hand and looked up at the night sky above his head.
Ye Xuan himself was not too clear about the power of the Thunder Talisman, but since Mei Huayu said that the Thunder Talisman could threaten the Yuanying Saint, it was better for him to be cautious.
The surrounding barren mountains are desolate enough, Ye Xuan has already sensed it with his senses, and there is no one else in the surrounding barren mountains at this moment.
Such an environment is very suitable for Ye Xuan to summon thunder.
"There is great evil in the world, and I want to get rid of the traitor. Today, the minister will tell him that it will last for nine days. ”
"I hope that the immortal will be sued, and I will look down on the people. Thunder will be sent down to appease the world. ”
After Ye Xuan sorted out his clothes, he recited the spell of the Thunder Charm loudly, and then threw the Thunder Talisman in his hand into the air, and then flicked his fingers, and a True Qi flame instantly burst out, igniting the Thunder Talisman in mid-air in an instant.
Wow!
The thunder talisman drawn on the thin yellow rune paper suddenly erupted into an extremely bright flame! The figure of Ye Xuan on the side was clearly illuminated.
At this moment, Ye Xuan had already closed his eyes, and an incomprehensible ideological power spread rapidly from Ye Xuan's body in all directions.
The Thunder Talisman was just a piece of yellow rune paper, but now that such a big fire suddenly broke out, how could it burn for too long.
I saw that after that moment of brightness, the thunder talisman immediately turned into a trace of black-gray ashes, slowly falling towards the ground.
And at the moment when the ashes of the thunder talisman drifted towards the ground, in the night sky above Ye Xuan's head, which was originally full of stars, a silver-white lightning suddenly lit up with a light of hundreds of miles.
Rumble!
Thunder!
