Chapter 40: Learning Magic
Meditation is to calm the mind, and when the mind enters the state of meditation, it will diverge infinitely.
In this state, the spirit of ordinary people will gradually grow, so that they feel that their spirit is getting better and better, their body is getting better and better, they eat more, digest well, and sleep soundly.
But after experiencing the out-of-body experience, the spirit will be sublimated at a deeper level in the state of concentration, so as to feel that the multi-dimensional dimension!
Bai Jing spent half the night comparing the Sanskrit dictionary and finished reading the Book of Maxim, as for the "New Astronomy" and "The Book of the Phantasmal Sun", he turned two pages and gave up.
He, a person who often reads Xianxia novels, needs to cultivate mystical thoughts?
He, who has received a modern science education, needs to read some popular science literature 400 years ago?
In the second half of the night, Bai Jing began to try meditation.
It was also difficult to settle in at first, but then he also figured out a way.
There are too many thoughts in the mind, isn't it just that the brain cells are too active?
Bai Jing directly used gravity to control nerve cells, where to actively press where, after tossing for half an hour, his heart finally quieted down!
Then, he simply felt a different dimension!
It's a magical feeling, as if there's an extra layer of invisible and untouchable mist in the air, superimposed on their universe, but it doesn't exist in the same plane.
The mist was blazing red and fluttered gently in the air.
"That's the kind of energy that mages use?" Bai Jing curiously used his spirit to induce, and then opened his eyes.
It is worthy of being the closest dimension to the universe, and he has withdrawn from the meditative state, just keeping his mind focused, and he can actually feel this power!
It's no wonder that the mages raise their hands with this kind of energy, it's too easy to feel!
Bai Jing also knows why mages don't know how to use spells like ice arrows and earth escape, because they can't be created with this kind of energy!
What this kind of energy is best at is shaping, making it into a shield protractor or something, but Bai Jing can't yet, specific shaping requires specific spells, and Bai Jing hasn't started to learn yet.
"Speaking of which, can gravity control this energy?" Bai Jing curiously manipulated the surrounding gravity to attract Mars, and then was surprised to find that it could!
"It's obviously not a dimensional thing, but no one knows the nature of gravity, and scientific theories believe that this is a higher-dimensional force, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with attracting energy across dimensions!" Thinking of this, Bai Jing continued to experiment.
The purpose of his learning magic is to better use his eyes, and now that he feels so much energy, he naturally wants to try it, can he absorb it!
"I swallow!" The white mirror gently opened up a little devouring power, and in an instant, the blazing red energy in the entire gravitational field disappeared into the gravitational field.
Bai Jing only felt that his eyes seemed to get hot for a while, and then, he saw the other dimension!
It is to see with both eyes, not to feel with the spirit!
He saw an orange-red world, a vast soup, filling the sky, and the whole world turned orange-red in an instant!
There is a blazing red energy floating in this world, and their existence is as ordinary as the air on the earth, and in this world, Bai Jing also sees creatures like swimming fish and birds fleeting.
There is life in this dimension!
"I see." Bai Jing's face darkened, and then he quickly became excited: "Am I a super genius??" β
The dimensional energy can be seen with the naked eye, and when other mages still have to rely on spiritual comprehension, they can see it with the naked eye!
What does this mean?
This means that other mages need to be fully focused on fighting in order to maintain their magic, but White Mirror doesn't need to be like that.
So he will be more casual and more free to use his magic.
The only problem is that this energy is like a mist, too low density, too little.
To cast a spell, you may need to draw a considerable amount of energy.
Bai Jing also thought that he had found a portable power source that could draw this energy at will, but when he saw this world, he realized that he was happy too early.
But in fact, it's normal, if this dimension is full of energy, it's good that the ancient one can directly absorb the energy of this dimension, so why bother to extract the dark latitude?
"But in this way, there is a lot of energy in the dark latitudes?" He can absorb the energy of this common dimension, and theoretically the dark latitude should be able to.
But it's not sure, after all, ordinary mages absorbing the energy of the dark latitude will only attract Dormammu, but the ancient one absorbs the power of the dark latitude, and Dormammu doesn't even dare to fart.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Bai Jing went to find Wang.
"I've finished reading the book, and I've also felt the energy of that dimension, so can I move on to the next stage of my cultivation?" Bai Jing asked.
"Huh?" Wang looked at the sky blankly, he wondered if he had overslept? Or misremembered the time?
"Come with me!" Wang hesitated, and then felt that he should not ask more.
If he really sensed it, wouldn't it seem like he was very naΓ―ve?
In case he didn't feel it, he was the one who deceived.
Still in the study.
"This is the basic spell book!" Wang said: "The energy of another dimension is like an electric current, and our spirit draws it out, but if we want to control it like an arm, we need a spell to cooperate!" β
Another book, opened by the white mirror, and found that it contained spells for various weapons.
The first is a shield, the second is a whip, and the third is a knife, which is a protractor commonly used by mages...
"Because most of the weapons formed by magic are melee combat, you also need to learn some self-defense skills." As he spoke, the king handed Bai Jing a few more books.
"Summary of various schools of boxing".
"Don't you have a bow and arrow?" Bai Jing flipped through the spell, then looked at the king curiously.
If being a mage requires melee, then why don't I just grab a vibranium sword?
"Ah, isn't it?" The king scratched his head, then took the spell and looked at it, but there was really none.
"Maybe there aren't any mages who like archery, so no one created this spell!" The king thought for a moment and said, "If you really want to use it, then you can create one!" β
"Is it hard to create?" Bai Jing asked.
"It shouldn't be difficult!" Wang thought for a moment and said, "After all, all the spells here were created by predecessors, but if you want to say that it is simple, it should not be simple, there have been no new spells for many years!" β
"Oh!" Bai Jing nodded and flipped up the spell.
The mantra is not complicated, but the complex is the requirement when it is released, that is, the pronunciation must be accurate and the posture must be standard.
Because the unification of language is a matter of nearly a hundred years, the mages of the past thousands of years have spoken with various accents and created all kinds of spells, and their contemporaries feel that it is not difficult to learn, but those who come later will feel that their heads are big.
But once you are proficient in this spell, you don't need to be so troublesome, you can try to change the syllables, gestures, and cast the spell in the way you are most proficient in.
In fact, in the past hundred years, the Ancient One has changed most of the ancient spells to be in English (the Ancient One is Celtic, in English), which has reduced the difficulty of casting a large number of spells.
The rest are basically created by mages in the past hundred years, because the holy land is in Nepal, and Sanskrit has been mostly used in the past hundred years, so there are still a large number of Sanskrit spells.
As for whether there are Chinese spells, there are them, but there are very few, because the Celestial Empire has its own inheritance sect, and there are few people who come here to apprentice.
