Chapter 157: Runes

Yu Wenyan took Tang Dou and the others to the second floor.

On the second floor was a wide hall, divided into several small rooms and a half, but most of them were empty, and only three people were occupied.

These three people happen to be the old, middle and light, an old man with gray hair, a middle-aged man with a serious looking face, and a young man with a childish look between his eyebrows.

Hearing the movement of someone going upstairs, the middle-aged man and the young man both looked up at the staircase, and when they saw Yuwen Yan coming up with five people and a bear, they were all stunned, the middle-aged man was fine, and immediately reacted after being stunned, nodded at Yuwen Yan, and then lowered his head and went to do his own thing; But the young man looked at Sha Yunyue with an obsessive expression.

The old man was so focused on his work that he didn't even lift his head.

Yu Wenyan looked apologetically at Tang Dou and the others, but he didn't dare to disturb the old man, so he could only stand aside.

Tang Dou also showed excellent patience at this time, standing a few steps in front of the small cubicle where the old man was with the other women, waiting silently.

This was half an hour, and the brushstrokes in the old man's hand didn't know what was wrong, and the rune array based on this purple blood sandalwood in his hand emitted a puff of black smoke - obviously a failure.

The old man sighed lightly, raised his head and looked at Yu Wenyan: "Oh, you're here!" Got a newcomer? ”

When he looked up, Tang Dou saw the old man's face clearly.

Park Humble Gucci! His long, gray eyebrows stretched to the spotted sideburns, but the other end was joined together on the bridge of the ear, contrasting with his deep eagle eyes. Deep wrinkles appeared at the corners of his mouth and under his eyes, indicating that he was no longer young.

He has a strong and powerful nose, coupled with the natural arrogant pursed lips, and a slender and clean face, which makes people know at a glance that he is a person who disdains everything in the world in his own world.

The old man asked nonchalantly, and then bowed his head and planned to continue working.

Yu Wenyan hurriedly said, "Master Lu, please wait!" ”

Master Nalu raised his head again and said with a slight dissatisfaction: "Do you still have something?" It can be seen that this Master Lu doesn't care about Yuwen Yan at all, and is even a little dissatisfied.

But Yuwen Yan didn't complain at all, no matter how bad Master Nalu's attitude was, she still smiled indifferently: "Master, there is a distinguished guest here today, and you need to personally check it, Master!" ”

Master Lu glanced at Tang Dou, then looked at the women beside Tang Dou, and then misunderstood something, and sneered disdainfully: "I don't think so!" ”

After saying that, he lowered his head and started to work.

Chihuo couldn't see that others were ignoring Tang Dou, and as soon as his eyebrows were raised, he was about to attack, but Tang Dou stretched out his hand to stop him, and watched Master Lu work with a smile, and waited for another ten minutes before he said, "Master Lu plans to simplify the composition of the runes?" This is what each generation of runemasters has pursued since Master Einstein was inspired by the Tianma bone bamboo five hundred years ago to invent the rune system. But in the next opinion, Master Lu has gone the wrong way! ”

Master Lu didn't react, and seemed to disdain to talk to Tang Dou at all, but the middle-aged man and young man raised their heads suddenly and glared at Tang Dou angrily. Master Lu is their master, Tang Dou's denial of Master Lu is the biggest humiliation to them, how can he not be angry?

"Hmph, I see that you don't even know what runes are, and you dare to make a big deal of nonsense here!" The young man couldn't hold his breath the most and snorted coldly.

"Oh? So, you know? Tang Dou once again stopped Chihuo, who was about to run away, and asked rhetorically.

"Hmph, listen well. Runes are a kind of magical existence that can store soul power, and then exert various wonderful uses through a unique array structure! The young man said triumphantly.

It's just that he didn't see the middle-aged man's slightly frowning brow, let alone Master Lu's pen that paused for a second.

"Oh? In this way, runes are a kind of thing that uses soul power. But why are most of the rune arrays using energy crystals? And in the garden of the Heavenly Pivot Tower, the rune array under the waterfall uses sunlight and the power of water? According to you, the energy in the energy crystal, as well as the power of nature, are all soul power? Tang Dou looked at the young man with a playful expression.

The young man's face changed, and he was stuck there on the spot, and opened his mouth three times, but he didn't know where to refute.

"Little friend, you are still too tender, sit there obediently, if you are well-behaved, my brother will give you candy to eat in a while!" Tang Dou is a stingy person, just now this young man stared at Sha Yunyue unscrupulously, and Tang Dou had already made a note of it.

The young man's face turned pale, and he was about to speak, but was stopped by the middle-aged man.

"Hanyu, sit down! Don't open your mouth! The middle-aged man waved his hand and blocked the young man Lin Yusheng.

Lin Yusheng glanced at Tang Dou fiercely, feeling that the other party had embarrassed himself in front of his master, senior brother, and beautiful women, and he was angry in his heart.

"So in Childe's opinion, what is a rune?" Although the middle-aged man was dissatisfied with his junior brother's lack of skill, he was also dissatisfied with Tang Dou's arrogance.

"If you want me to say, runes are lifeless war spirits, they originally exist in heaven and earth, and the so-called invention runes are just looking for these runes that have existed for a long time in heaven and earth. No, it should be said that the runes are alive, but we humans can't understand them. They will breathe the aura of heaven and earth, they will think about the truth of the world, and they will also have joys, sorrows, and sorrows! Tang Dou smiled proudly and talked eloquently.

This truth was realized by him after studying Tianma bone bamboo.

Lin Yusheng sneered, and was about to speak, but was shocked to see Master Lu stop the work in his hand and raise his headβ€”this was the first time he had seen the master stop his work for someone.

"You may be seated!" Master Lu glanced at Tang Dou deeply and spoke.

"Thank you, Master!" Tang Dou faced Master Lu, but he changed his respectful and polite appearance, as if the arrogant guy who faced Lin Yusheng and the middle-aged man just now was not him at all.

"Do you think runes are a special kind of war spirit, is there any evidence?" Master Lu said.

Tang Dou smiled confidently: "The evidence is what the master is doing." It is the goal pursued by all rune masters for five hundred years. ”

"Oh? Why? Master Lu showed his first smile, although it was very faint, faintly making people think that it was a twitch at the corner of his mouth, but it really shocked Yuwen Yan, the middle-aged man and Lin Yusheng.

Master Lu is a well-known coffin face.

"Easy to solve!" Tang Dou smiled and took out an insulated jade pendant from his arms: "This is the insulated rune array, which was discovered three hundred years ago. At the beginning, it was a rune with more than 3,000 lines, and then it slowly shrunk until it was completely finalized a hundred years ago, becoming the current eighteen positive and negative square circle diagrams! ”

"Hmph, who doesn't know this, what kind of proof is this?" Lin Yusheng snorted coldly with disdain.

The middle-aged man immediately cast a stern gaze, so frightened that he shrank his neck and didn't dare to make another sound.

Tang Dou didn't pay attention to Lin Yusheng at all, looked at Master Lu and said, "Master, don't you think that this kind of experience is like the process of our human beings' understanding of the battle spirit?" In the beginning, humans were unable to induce the spirit of war to possess them. Everything can only rely on talent, nature, and luck, but later our ancestors discovered a way to guide the war spirit, and then there were thousands of exercises in this world. But when it comes down to the essence, all exercises focus on three elements – more simplified, more direct, and more effective. ”

"And isn't that what we're asking for in the Rune Array? No matter what kind of battle soul it is, or what kind of exercise it is, the ultimate goal is to improve the strength, and no matter what kind of rune array it is, the ultimate goal is to simplify and effect! ”

Tang Dou paused for a moment, pointed to the thermal insulation rune array and said, "If I say that this thermal insulation rune array can be simplified again, can the master believe it?" ”

Master Lu's brows furrowed slightly: "At the beginning, I also studied this kind of thermal insulation rune array, although it can be simplified, but the effect will be reduced, and it will even cause energy imbalance, causing the danger of explosion!" ”

"The master has studied runes all his life, and he must understand that what really works in the rune array is the combination of mental power and soul power when the formation is carved. In my opinion, the real effect of the so-called rune array is not the rune itself, but for people. Because people need to use this way to unite their soul power with their mental power. As I said, runes are another form of war spirit, and the function of the exercises is to allow people to better communicate with war spirits. But the ultimate goal of different exercises is the same! ”

"Then in the same way, as long as you can combine your mental power with your soul power to meet the needs of the runes. Does the image of this rune matter? Tang Dou smiled proudly, stood up, walked to Master Lu's workbench, and pulled out a piece of sour branch fruit paddle paperβ€”this was the material for the lowest-level runes.

He took out a strange brush from his bosom, and then stained the tip of the pen with the blood of the monster on the workbench. He wrote down a Chinese character "Wen".

Just when the tip of his pen was raised and the word was written, the sour branch paddle paper suddenly exuded a high temperature.

Master Lu and Yuwen Yan both stood up in shock at the same time. And the middle-aged man and Lin Yusheng were directly stupid on the spot.

Tang Dou laughed and wrote the Chinese character "fire" on another piece of paper.

Words come in!

Fire!

A flash of fire burned the paper clean.

At the same time, the strange brush in Tang Dou's hand also shattered with a snap and turned into a handful of fragments in his hand.

Tang Dou twitched the corner of his mouth: "This material is still not good." Should I get one of the 100-year-old jasper bamboos from the house next door? ”

Sha Yunyue looked at this guy who was playing treasure helplessly, obviously there was something better, so he had to take this kind of inferior goods. But she also knew that it couldn't be taken out, otherwise it would only cause trouble.

Master Lu rushed to the workbench, grabbed the piece of paper with the word "Wen" written on it, carefully felt the temperature emanating from the paper, his hands trembled with excitement, and after a long time, he suddenly raised his head and laughed wildly.

"Hahaha, yes, yes! I was right, and finally someone proved it, finally someone proved it. Master, you are right, I am right, we are right! (To be continued.) )
