Chapter 31: Taoist Priests?
The Holy Clan is located in the east of the continent, unlike the northern Snow Clan's territory, which is forever covered in reckless forests, where there are vast grasslands, rushing rivers, low hills, small bridges and flowing water towns, and boundless seas......
The territory occupied by the entire Holy Clan is extremely vast, and it is not inferior to the territory of all the tribes of the Snow Clan combined. In the vast land of the Holy Clan, there are many countries scattered, and Qi Lie's caravan belongs to one of them.
"Suiguo is one of the richest countries in the entire Holy Clan," Mr. Sun's face was full of pride when he said this, "Suiguo's merchants are all over the world, as long as there are people, there are Suiguo merchants, even if it is tens of thousands of miles, hundreds of thousands of miles away in the northern and southern regions, there are traces of Suiguo merchants. For example, Qi Lie, the owner of our trading house, is doing the business of the Snow Clan. β
"In addition to the merchants, the Holy Clan, like the Snow Clan, is a society that respects martial arts, advocating strength, and powerful people often have extremely powerful ...... at the same time."
When he said this, Manager Sun's eyes showed a look of yearning: "However, there are very few people who are truly powerful...... The vast majority of people, like us, are still running around all day long, but they just get enough food and clothing. β
His expression was slightly sad, as if it evoked pain in his heart.
Qu Shan secretly despised it, the windfall profits of the caravan, he had seen it with his own eyes. Others may not understand how valuable those animal skins and herbs are, but Qu Shan can vaguely guess that when they are transported to the East, the price will definitely increase by tens or hundreds of times, and everyone here will make a lot of money.
If this kind of profiteering can only be called "mixing food and clothing", then the people of the entire Storm Bear tribe will all be poor enough to gnaw on the roots and wild vegetables, no, everyone is originally gnawing on the roots and wild vegetables, and only "occasionally" hunting fierce beasts will open the meat sacrifice teeth.
Mr. Sun continued to speak, mainly about the oriental customs and beautiful scenery he had seen, thousands of miles of mountains, strange and steep shows, magnificent waves, boundless, pavilions and water pavilions slowly flowed out of his mouth, and the scenes were displayed in front of the song list.
Those pictures seem to be a vivid painting of ancient Chinese customs, east, west, north and south, all in it.
"Little doll, if you really want to go to the east to see, maybe next time, when the caravan comes to the Storm Bear Tribe again, you can go with you...... Manager Sun said.
Qu Shan nodded, thinking that this proposal was very good.
Suddenly, something flashed in his mind, he stood up and asked, "I wonder if Chief Sun has heard of Taoist priests?"
He suddenly wanted to ask the question, since the East was so similar to the ancient times of the previous life, would there be monks there.
"Daoist, what the little brother said, but those charlatans who pretend to be ghosts?"
Unconsciously, Mr. Sun has changed his name. The cub with a green face in front of him was only half a head shorter than him, although he looked like a child at a glance, but Mr. Sun unconsciously slowly improved the status of the other party.
Qu Dan's tone of speech, as well as some insights inadvertently revealed, surprised Mr. Sun, he couldn't treat the other party as an ordinary Snow Clan child.
Qu Shan shook his head and said, "No, it's those who have real skills." β
Mr. Sun thought for a moment and said: "In our holy clan, there are indeed people like Taoist priests, all of whom are liars who fool the people under the sign of fortune-telling and feng shui. β
As he spoke, he reached into his arms and felt for something.
"You see, this is the charm drawn by those Taoist priests, my family asked for it from the Taoist temple, saying that it was to go out to keep safe, but it was useless, when you went out, the most reliable thing was the strength ......"
Qu Dan's eyes lit up suddenly.
The spell turned out to be a charm drawn by a Taoist priest!
In the previous life, in the cultivation realm, the charm was a deviant skill. Using yellow paper and cinnabar, using spiritual power to draw some special patterns on it, you can temporarily seal some spells in the spell.
When a monk fights against a person, he can directly urge the charm to release the spiritual power contained in it and exert the power of the spell.
However, the limitations of the charm are enormous.
First of all, this skill is extremely difficult to learn, and compared with alchemy, it is not much worse, there is no strong perseverance, there is no need to touch this field at all; secondly, the drawing method of the spell is a secret that is not transmitted, how to write each spell, how to infuse spiritual power, never spread between sects, ordinary people basically have no chance of contact; third, and most importantly, the material used to draw the charm has a great impact on the power of the charm, if the wind resistance is painted on ordinary yellow paper and cinnabar, then the power of use, at most, can only cool off the heat, attracting a cool breezeγ In order to make a powerful spell, rare materials are indispensable, and a skilled spell master must write it himself, and even then, the chances of failure are still very high.
Many factors finally created a charm that became a chicken-like side skill in the cultivation world.
Most monks have the energy to learn this spell technique, so it is better to spend more time to get a good magic weapon and a good flying sword.
"Mr. Sun, can you lend me a look at this charm?" Qu Shan asked eagerly. He couldn't draw talismans, but he could tell if they were real or fake.
"Of course you can, it's not useful to me, so I'll give it to my little brother. Manager Sun smiled slightly and handed over the charm.
Qu Shan stretched out his hand to take it, and his hands trembled a little with excitement.
The rune paper is ordinary yellow paper, folded into triangles, and the song sheet is slowly disassembled, and mysterious symbols are drawn on it with cinnabar.
The symbols twist and turn weirdly, and often you think you should draw straight down somewhere, but it unexpectedly bends sharply and floats in the other direction. On a palm-sized piece of yellow paper, there are unexpected lines everywhere, and a crooked cinnabar red thread coils back and forth, forming an intricate pattern.
However, after just one glance, the track list was disappointed.
He couldn't read the symbols on it, and he had never seen it before. But one thing is certain, that is, there is no infusion of spiritual power in the lines, and this spell is indeed as Mr. Sun said, but it is just a trick by those Taoist priests to fool people.
"What's the matter, the little brother is not satisfied with this spell?" Mr. Sun keenly saw the disappointment in Qu Dan's eyes.
Qu Shan smiled and shook his head: "No, is there any such a talisman in charge of Sun?" I want to ask for more, and study it well......
