Chapter Seventy-Eight: Shi Jing Assists in the Heavenly Extreme Curse
Mantras, although classified as miscellaneous exercises, are completely different from ordinary exercises.
The practice is to cultivate qi and strengthen oneself, but the mantra has nothing to do with the cultivator himself, and is an application of the power of heaven and earth.
The spell pays attention to the spell pattern, the medium of casting, the place of casting, and the way of triggering, and there are no strict requirements for the cultivation of the caster.
Each mantra has its own unique mantra patterns, and these mantras are the result of countless attempts by cultivators over thousands of years, and every line and circle in them has its own reason for existence.
The spell is the basis of all spells, and if the spell is wrong, the spell cannot be cast.
Spells cannot be formed in a vacuum, they must be drawn on the surface of something, and that thing becomes the medium of application. The medium of casting a spell depends on the type of spell, and the requirements for different spells are different.
Most spells can be drawn on paper, leaves, and cloth, and are of similar power, but some require a special medium, such as gold, the skin of some kind of beast, and weapons.
These casting mediums have required spells, and if you draw spells with the wrong thing, it is very likely to disrupt the operation of the power of heaven and earth in the spells, causing the power of heaven and earth to backlash, endangering the caster himself.
Where and how the spell is cast are two different key points.
Draw the correct spell pattern on the right medium, and then let the power of heaven and earth flow into the spell and follow the path of the spell.
Because the concentration of heaven and earth power is different in different places, the nature is also different, which will affect the difficulty of casting the spell and the final effect. For example, the highest part of some mountain peaks is covered with snow all year round, and it will be quite difficult to cast a fire-type spell in such a location, and the effect of the spell will be reduced.
The trigger method is actually the process of driving the power of heaven and earth to move according to the route.
To drive the carriage of the power of heaven and earth, you need to be guided by spell formulas, and you also need another force of heaven and earth to push it. This other force of heaven and earth must be provided by the caster himself.
People above the Qi Condensation Realm will absorb the power of heaven and earth when cultivating, and the higher the cultivation, the more power of heaven and earth will be contained in the qi energy in the body, so these qi energies can be used as a trigger method in conjunction with the mantra mantra.
Hearing this, Zheng Qiu had a question: "Master, don't you still have to cultivate to a high level ......if you cast a spell?"
"You don't know. Master Ming Zong interrupted the apprentice's question, grabbed a handful of things from his sleeve and sprinkled them on the table, "Anyone can cast a spell, and it is okay if you don't have cultivation, because there are these things." ”
Zheng Qiu stretched his neck to look at the table, it was a handful of crystal clear crystals, colorful, the size of each little finger, the crystals were pointed at both ends, the stomach was wide, and the surface was full of folds, like an elongated peach pit, this is not the cloud sleeve heaven and earth crystal.
"Heaven and Earth Crystal. What is the relationship between heaven and earth crystals and spells?" Zheng Qiu was confused, not knowing what medicine was sold in the master's gourd.
Master Mingzong picked up one, stroked the lines on it and said, "The power of heaven and earth is ethereal, and it is difficult to distinguish the traces. For most cultivators, it is just a spiritual feeling, like joy, anger, sorrow, and sorrow, a feeling that has no actual body. But there are some cultivators who are different......"
Master Mingzong took a sip of tea and continued to speak.
Cultivators who have reached the Divine Realm, that is, the last great realm, they can see the power of heaven and earth, and for them, the power of heaven and earth is no different from the strength of qi, and they can also gather and condense.
Heaven and earth crystals are made by them condensing the power of heaven and earth and injecting them into stone crystals, each heaven and earth crystal hides a trace of heaven and earth power, and different colors of heaven and earth crystals represent different properties.
A cultivator of the Divine Realm can produce up to 10,000 Heaven and Earth Crystals a year, and for his sect, this is a living cash cow.
Because the Heaven and Earth Crystal contains the power of Heaven and Earth, it can be used directly to cast spells.
Master Ming Zong pointed to the heaven and earth crystal in his hand and demonstrated to Zheng Qiu: "Apprentice, look, in the middle of each heaven and earth crystal, there is a fine line that crosses the entire stone crystal, as long as you hold down both sides of the fine line and break it like this, you can release the power of heaven and earth." ”
With a crisp click, the heaven and earth crystal in the master's hand broke into two, Zheng Qiu didn't notice the power of heaven and earth at all, but saw that the color of the heaven and earth crystal faded instantly, and then lost its crystal clear texture and turned into two gray stones.
Seeing such a situation, Zheng Qiu couldn't help blurting out: "Spend money to cast spells!"
The apprentice's words made Master Mingzong happy, and he nodded with a smile and said, "Hehe, that's right, it's just spending money to put spells." The stronger the spell, the more it will be spent. ”
After explaining the basics of spells, Master Mingzong took out a booklet and began to teach Zheng Qiu to learn spells.
The spells here are all the spells of the Qianyun Sect, and they need to be cast by the spells of the Qianyun Sect. The mantras of the Qianyun Sect all begin with "Four Directions Heavenly Pole, the gods have an order", also known as the Four Directions Heavenly Pole Mantra.
The master took a piece of white paper, copied the spell pattern on the booklet onto the white paper, and then took two red heaven and earth crystals, snapped them open, and quickly pressed the paper.
At the same time, he recited the mantra in his mouth: "The four directions of the heavens, the gods have an order, the palm holds the green smoke and turns the lampstand, and the lamp is bright without oil and fire." ”
When the words fell, the white paper held down by Master Mingzong immediately burned into green smoke, he turned his palm, and the green smoke slowly rose, forming a half-foot-high column of smoke that did not disperse. Immediately after that, at the top of the pillar of smoke, a wisp of fire burst out, burning as steadily as a candle flame.
"See, this is the step of using the Heaven and Earth Crystal to match the Four Directions Heavenly Pole Mantra to cast a spell. Master Ming Zong said as he patted the flames and green smoke with his other hand.
"Like the Blue Lantern Changming Mantra just now, it's a continuous spell. To cast this spell, you need two red sky and earth crystals, which can be lit up for half an hour after activation. If you want to extend the duration of the spell, you can increase the number of Heaven and Earth Crystals at the time of casting, and each one will be added by half an hour. ”
After demonstrating the spell, Master Ming Zong stuffed Zheng Qiu with a stack of white paper and asked him to copy it according to the booklet first. Each time he copied one, the master would take it over and look at it carefully, and circle the part that had been drawn with a pen.
When it was time to copy, Zheng Qiu found out the difficulty in this, the spell pattern seemed simple, only a dozen lines, but the mystery was hidden in it.
Each straight line is not actually straight, but has many irregular micro-bends, and similarly, some seemingly connected parts, when you stick to the nearest place, you find that there is a separation in the middle.
After painting from noon to evening, Zheng Qiu finally drew a spell pattern that made the master nod. Master Ming Zong picked up two heaven and earth crystals and threw them to his apprentice, motioning for him to cast a spell.
Zheng Qiu flattened the paper, found the fine lines in the middle of the heaven and earth crystals, and pressed his fingers slightly. Before Zheng Qiu could break the heaven and earth crystal, a shout came from downstairs in Fangcao.
"Elder Mingzong, Elder Mingzong, are you there?"
