Chapter Seventy-Three: The White Pole Star Pen
Before this, Wu Xing was actually skeptical about lighting up the Morning Star and then lighting the Chang Geng Star. And when he really lit up Chang Geng Xing, Wu Xing believed that he had embarked on a cultivation path that was completely different from that of the vast majority of Star Monarchs. Lighting up the Chang Gung Star is completely different from lighting up the stars in the left hand, the former is to open the other half of the cultivation cycle of the Star Monarch, and can realize the cultivation of alternating day and night, while lighting up the left hand star is just adding a few stars to the sea of stars led by the morning star.
"Okay, although you and I are not a teacher-student relationship, we don't need to be so formal. Then again, I have to thank you for helping me collect the second chalcedony of the Law of the Nine Words. Wentian said: "Although the chalcedony pattern does not need to collect all the nine-colored chalcedony, the more chalcedony, the better the effect." Okay, now you can summon your star pen and see what it looks like. ”
The Rising Star and the Chang Gung Star represent the different situations of the tidal cycle of star power, so there is a clear distinction between the Star Hammer and the Star Pen. Wu Xing's heart moved, and a ....... appeared in front of him Dozens of brush hairs.
Wu Xing blinked his eyes, and after a long while, he turned his head to look at Wen Tian, asking the latter to verify whether he had seen what he saw.
Wen Tian obviously expected this scene in front of him a long time ago, and said, "Do you know how the brush is made?"
Belch......
Although Wu Xing was young and had already begun to learn the nine-character mantra, he had not completed all the nine-character mantras, so he had not been able to start using a brush. When the Mengxue Hall, the academy and even the Star Temple enlightened the teaching of calligraphy, if they began to teach calligraphy, it means that this student does not have the talent to become a Wenqu Xingjun.
"The brush is made by tying animal hair into a pen tip and then bonding it to a tubular barrel. Wu Xing could only answer by impression.
"The production of all kinds of brushes must go through the process of material selection, degreasing, batching, grooming, stopping, curling, sorting, tying, heading, dry repair, sticking edge, lettering, lanyard and so on. Wentian said: "The later process includes pen barrel engraving, engraving, relief, lacquer painting, inlay, filigree, pen head bowl, tail, lanyard, etc., and some accessories also play a role in reinforcing the pen barrel. ”
"A good brush should have the characteristics of 'pointed, neat, round and healthy'. "Sharp" means that the pen is sharp, "Qi" is neatly trimmed, "round" is the roundness of the pen head, and "Jian" means that the brush is elastic and the words written are sharp and vigorous. ”
"Actually, the brush comes from the star pen!" Wen Tian said again: "The star pen is similar to the star armor parts, once it is recruited, the grade characteristics will be determined. ”
"However, the iron billet obtained by cultivating the exercises to advance to the realm can be repeatedly forged to improve the grade, and even the iron billet can be cut by the star hammer to repair the star armor......." Wu Xing looked disappointed and muttered: "Star pen, it's too simple, right?"
"Simple, hehe!" Wen Tian shook his head and said, "The nine-character mantra represents nine types of brush hairs, which are different in length, thickness, and softness. Wenqu Xingjun must make a pen according to the needs of the star, and there are three forms of hard, soft, and both! Even if the star pen is attached to another star pen, it is even more necessary to consider the other party's star monarch's grade, cultivation techniques, mental strength and other factors before he can write. ”
"After you decide on the total number and type of bristles, you can summon them, and then you can make a pen barrel by performing the Star Liberation Technique, and at this time, you can already get a star pen. The 'ink' used to carry out the art of star attachment is different from the art of star interpretation, but it can no longer use star power as ink. ”
Hearing this, Wu Xing couldn't help but ask: "If you don't use star power as ink, then what should be used as the 'ink' of the star pen?"
"For the left-handed seven-star chain and less than the seven-star chain grade, every 'star release' 9981 nine words will get a drop of star ink; if the left-hand eight-star chain star monarch will get a drop of star ink for every 8972 nine words of 'star release', and the left-handed nine-star chain star monarch will get a drop of star ink for every 7963 nine words of 'star release'. Q Tian replied: "Corresponding to the grade of the Star Interpretation, the 'Youcheng' realm can be reduced by about one percent in the total number of the nine words of the Star Interpretation, the 'Dengtang' realm can be reduced by about one and a half percent, and when it reaches the 'Great Perfection' realm, it can be reduced by about two percent!"
"A nine-grade ornament requires about a hundred drops of star ink! This does not include the star pen that may overflow and waste when absorbing star ink. ”
Wu Xing was already dumbfounded when he heard it at this time, and muttered, "This ink is not the other ink, right?
Wen Tian said: "To complete a piece of ornamentation, it usually takes hundreds of drops of star ink. Once these star inks are summoned out of the body, they can no longer be 'recycled', and they will 'volatilize' over time. Wenqu Xingjun also had to maintain hundreds of thousands of drops of star ink through induction while being attached to the star, and the consumption of spiritual power was definitely far greater than the consumption of the star hammer. Therefore, it is very common for the star pen to spill out and waste a drop or two of star ink when it absorbs star ink. ”
Wu Xing muttered thoughtfully: "When the sensing power is manipulated, the farther away from the main body will be, the weaker it will be, and the more spiritual power will be consumed. In this way, Xingjun, who is both civil and military, can attach star hammers and star armor through star pens in his body, and in terms of spiritual power and star ink consumption, it is lower than that of other Wenqu Xingjun. Under certain circumstances, this feature can be used to make the opponent miscalculate, and increase the grade of the Star Hammer and Star Armor in a short period of time, so as to gain the opportunity to change or even reverse the situation......"
"Actually, there is another trouble with the star pen, that is, the star pen is the same as the brush, and it can also write 'bald'. Wen Tian continued: "After the star pen is impregnated with enough star ink, it will be irreversibly damaged due to the erosion of star ink and disappear directly. At this time, Xingjun has to make a new star pen. ”
"Re-making the pen?That is to say, if the bristles of the newly made Xingbi are promoted, it means that the Xingbi has been promoted, that is to say, Xingjun has been promoted?" Wu Xing asked.
"Yes! It's just a promotion, and I don't know how many star pens I need to write 'bald'. Wentian sighed and said, "Except for the exercises that light up the stars in the left hand, the cultivation techniques of Wenqu Xingjun are basically divided into the 'Four Elephants', and then subdivided into the 'Twenty-Eight Nights'. Those who can cultivate three of the four elephants are already a first-grade Wen Xingzun! Every time the stars are cultivated, they can increase the star pen. The pen nib and pen barrel we just talked about are the simplest star pens, usually called white rod pens. ”
"It's a bit of a stretch to say that. Wu Xing returned to the truth and asked, "How to fix dozens or hundreds of brush hairs into pen nibs?"
"Do you remember the meditation exercises I taught you earlier?" asked Wentian.
"Yes. I'm still in the 'Heaven and Earth Net' realm. Wu Xing replied.
The first level of the meditation technique taught by Wentian is the "Heaven and Earth Net", which simply means that by mastering the inductive power of the center of gravity of the giant stone tablet, the star power is gathered and compressed into the sea of stars formed by the chain of seven stars. At that time, it was mainly used to deal with Wu Xing's seven-star chain storage, and the star power would be scattered. And when Wu Xing's right hand lit up the Nine Star Chain, the rudimentary shape of the sea of stars in his body had been determined, and there was no longer this kind of trouble with the dissipation of star power.
"Under the technique of star interpretation, after you decide the total number and type of brush hairs, you can gather them through the 'heaven and earth net', and you will get the pen head when you summon it; Wentian said: "In fact, at the same time as the star release, it will also produce star ink. Once you've decided on the style of the star nib, dip a drop of star ink and the bristles will merge into the nib, or if there are any leftovers, they will transform into the barrel. At this time, the tip of the pen is summoned like a star armor part, and it is shaped like a star armor part......."
Wentian lost a word as always, and let Wu Xing think for himself.
"Star armor is composed of different parts...... Wu Xing said thoughtfully: "The white rod pen of the star pen is only composed of two parts: the pen head and the pen barrel....... Gather the bristles of the pen and convert them into the nib through the star ink, and then connect the pen head with the pen barrel, and then transform the white rod pen through the star ink....... Glue paint?"
"As the predecessors just said, Wenqu Xingjun's cultivation method is basically divided into 'four elephants', and then subdivided into 'twenty-eight nights'. Every time the stars are cultivated, they can increase the star pen, which is equivalent to adding accessories to the white pole pen, and the reason is the same as adding armor pieces to the star armor?
Wen Tian nodded approvingly and smiled, confirming Wu Xing's guess.
"In this way, in addition to being used for the art of star attachment, star ink also has the role of 'maintaining' and 'fixing' star pens. Wu Xing said suddenly.
"The length of the barrel of the star pen is determined by the time it is drawn out of the body, and once it is drawn out of the body, it is finalized. Wen Tian said: "This means that the length of the new pen can be adjusted according to the progress of cultivation, and various attachments can be added or subtracted from the star pen, in order to achieve a star pen that conforms to the art of star attached." Being able to remake the pen repeatedly, about this, is the biggest difference between the star pen and the star hammer and star armor!"
It can be seen that Wenqu Xingjun's cultivation process consumes spiritual power almost all the time. Therefore, Wenqu Xingjun's spiritual power is extremely powerful. Especially when Wenqu Xingjun chose the golden elephant among the four elephants, the way of the white tiger, which is known as the way of Xingnian! Carrying the giant stone tablet of the Nine Words Law into this karst cave like this is just a small test. ”
Hearing this, Wu Xing said with emotion: "There is a diligent path in the Book Mountain, and there is no end to the hard work of learning the sea! No wonder Wenqu Xingjun's cultivation starts with a schoolchild!"
