Chapter 234: Talking
"I really haven't heard of it, there are still stone runes and jade runes in this world. However, I did have some knowledge of charms, so I was surprised that there were some runes engraved on this stone plate. Now the words of the predecessors have also made me more confused. But on this stone talisman, it seems that there are also characteristics of the Dharma position. Could it be that you are wrong below? Xiao Yu looked at the old man. Said with a slight frown.
"I really didn't expect that Xiaoyou would be proficient in the formation and the way of the talisman at the same time, I really admire it! You read that right. This sandalwood stone talisman is indeed not quite the same as the real stone talisman, in order to be able to borrow yin power, some changes similar to the magic circle have been made. Make it have the partial effect of both a charm and a circle. However, in doing so, it is much less powerful. The long-bearded old man was slightly startled at first. But then he stroked his hands and laughed.
When Xiao Yu heard this, he nodded thoughtfully, but looked back at the stone plate, and suddenly asked:
"I heard the Great Elder say that you can use Yin Power here, and it is only by combining the Demonic Beast Crystal Nucleus and the magic circle that you can cast spells. But it is not on this stone talisman below. See what the nucleus mosaic. Could it be that there is something else strange about this stone talisman? Xiao Yu flashed a hint of doubt.
"This little friend doesn't know. Presumably today. Daoist friends also saw the giant ape. To tell you the truth, the reason why the Great Elder and the others want to keep you and that girl here is because your cultivation has not been completely suppressed! β
"What do you mean by that?"
"Little friend must have heard from the Great Elder before! After entering the Nether Realm, the cultivator's cultivation will be suppressed, but this suppression will be reduced with the passage of time. In other words, you are still maintaining your original cultivation, but ...... The longer you stay in the Netherworld, the weaker your cultivation will become! β
I didn't expect it to be like this!
Xiao Yu was stunned in his heartβhe had heard the Great Elder say that cultivators who entered the Nether Realm would lose their cultivation, but he didn't expect that there would be such an accident in this!
No wonder he felt that his cultivation had not weakened in the slightest!
"Basically, as long as you live in this world for half a year, then your cultivation will all dissipate......
"No wonder there are many cultivators in this village, but their strength is very mediocre!"
"Xiaoyou is right! Although there are many cultivators in the village, most of these people have no cultivation because the era of entering this nether realm is too long, but after the cultivation period, their bodies are much stronger than ordinary people, but even so, in the face of those huge demonic beasts, a single person is not always his opponent. Even if we can defeat them with a large number of people, the villagers will have many casualties, and we can't afford to hurt them. In this way, borrowing Yin power to cast some spells to trap the enemy has become the key to the survival of the village. And how much the Warcraft crystal nucleus stored as a consumable for spell casting is the standard for measuring whether the village is strong or not. The old man said with a slight smile, but after a slight pause, he continued unsatisfactorily:
"However, these Monster Crystal Nuclei are really hard to find! Although generally speaking, the more powerful the beast, the higher the probability of having a beast crystal in its head, this is not a certainty. Sometimes it seems so powerful that it takes us a lot of effort to destroy the Earth Demon Beast, but its skull is empty. There are also villagers like the villager who brought you back today, who only killed a few weak guys on the way, and found a small piece of beast crystal, which is really hard to say. β
"But in general, the village often has to cast spells to retreat enemies and carry out daily protection, and the demand for beast crystals is very high. However, the Warcraft crystal nuclei collected throughout the year are generally only about a dozen. It's barely enough. As a result, the beast crystals were usually managed separately by a few elders in the village. Only when it is necessary to cast spells to drive away enemies, it is given to the use of those of us. And once the battle is over, it will be taken back immediately. As for this stone talisman, it is usually poured into it for a few days to maintain daily consumption. It does not inlay the nucleus directly on it. This makes the few slots that were specially left behind when making this talisman a bit wasted. The long-bearded old man seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the village elder's approach, lowered his body, and touched the diamond-shaped grooves around the stone plate, revealing a hint of self-deprecation.
Xiao Yu didn't say anything to the other party, just smiled faintly and said nothing.
Although I don't know what the other party's intention is to know everything about him, it is estimated that most of it is involved in things like power struggles in the village, and he has no intention of staying in this village chief. Naturally, I don't want to get into it.
It seems that these cultivators, once they cut off their cultivation path, have become like mortals, and they have actually played the trick of fighting for power and profit.
Xiao Yu sighed secretly, feeling really sad!
Seeing that Xiao Yu didn't take the initiative, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. But then he returned to his usual color and chatted with Xiao Yu about some other things.
"Xiaoyou also knows, this ghost place doesn't know how many tens of thousands of years it has existed. Although very few outsiders have been sucked into it, after so many years, it is estimated that there are not tens of thousands of cultivators who have perished in the Middle Netherworld. Moreover, I have heard that there are even congenital and even Mahayana monks who were trapped here alive and died. The old man mentioned casually.
"There have been Mahayana cultivators here?" Xiao Yu was a little moved when he heard this.
"Yes. Although I don't know how many years ago, after this master was admitted to this place, he still lived in this village for the rest of his life. The old man sighed lightly.
"Didn't he find a way to leave?" Hearing this, Xiao Yu was a little puzzled.
"Yes! This senior had rushed into the deepest depths of the netherworld alone! But he was seriously injured and returned ......"
"Even the powerhouses of the innate stage can't get out of here?" Hearing this, Xiao Yu's face changed!
"Not really...... the old man stroked his beard and smiled, "Later, I heard that the senior came back." If you want to leave this place, you must wait for the corpse of Jiazi to open once......"
Necrocalyptus?! Another corpse?!
Xiao Yu's heart moved, and he smiled slightly: "But I don't know, what is this corpse?" β
"I don't know!" The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Regarding the matter of this corpse, the senior will not talk about the death. However, although this senior died, he left behind some classics when he was idle. Some of them are also the experience of his cultivation. If these things are placed outside, they are naturally precious anomalies. But now......" The bearded elder shook his head, revealing some regret.
"Cultivation experience! I'm interested. Can the predecessors know, where is this thing now? When Xiao Yu heard this, his face showed a hint of interest.
The experience of the innate strong is naturally not trivial. Naturally, he planned to take a look.
"Huh! Xiaoyou's reaction was the same as when he first heard about it. But if you stay here for a while, you'll never be interested in these things again. But if you are really interested, you can go and have a look. They and some other cultivators' relics were all placed in a special warehouse. The old man touched the wrinkles on his face and said noncommittally. Then he turned around and pointed to a corner of the village, a stone house that looked very shabby.
Xiao Yuqiang suppressed the surprise in his heart, and thanked the old man with a calm expression.
Next, after the long-bearded old man said a few words to Xiao Yu, he saw that Xiao Yu was a little absent-minded, so he took the initiative to leave with a slight smile.
Xiao Yu looked at the back of the old man, pursed his lips, and after a slight groan, he shook his head and got off the stone platform.
Then he walked briskly towards the dilapidated stone house.
