Chapter Eighty-Six: The Intermediate "Sleeping God Laughs and Forgets the Book"
The college entrance examination is a hurdle that most students in China will pass, and many people regard it as a tragic battlefield for thousands of troops to cross the single-plank bridge, and Yuan Fan's teacher has been emphasizing recently that every time you score high, you will step on tens of thousands of people under your feet, and every time you score lower, you will be one step closer to falling off the single-plank bridge.

Yuan Fan's scores have always been very stable, about 30 points higher than his expected school scores, so his teachers always want him to be admitted to a higher school, and the third year of high school is a year of struggle, so why waste his talent?
However, if Yuan Fan may have been persuaded by the teacher's kindness in the past, now he doesn't care so much. Since he came into contact with ghosts and gods, Yuan Fan felt that maybe an exorcist would be his main business in the future, as for the university entrance examination, although thirty points is a lot of scores, but it does not allow Yuan Fan to be directly promoted to the most first-class schools, in Beijing, science and engineering are also quite good, and those schools with higher scores are not necessarily much better. And if Yuan Fan wants to enroll in a school with a score higher than 30 points higher than that of science and engineering, then his current learning level is not so secure, and he doesn't want to make the college entrance examination so nervous without the pressure from his family.
So in the last month left, in addition to the necessary review, Yuan Fan has been sorting out "Sleeping God Laughing and Forgetting Books", the photos sent to him by Chen Chuan, he is now basically finished, and he has almost mastered the knowledge in it, the electronic version of "Sleeping God Laughing and Forgetting Books" is indeed easier to read, and he sometimes turns it a few times in school classes.
However, he always felt that the content in this "Sleeping God Laughing and Forgetting Book" was a bit small, and the spells involved in it were also very simple, and it seemed that there would be no charms above the middle grade. He asked Chen Chuan with suspicion why this is, is "Sleeping God Laughing and Forgetting the Book" just a basic tutorial or something? Some high-level books haven't been read to me yet?
"Hehe, you've been asking this question for so long, and your reaction is a little slow! The "Book of Laughter and Forgetfulness of the Sleeping God" I gave you is only a part of the beginner level, only some basic principles, beginner spells, and some superficial experience records, and even the alchemy method and formation arrangement are not involved. But now that you've finished reading the beginner part, I'll send you the intermediate one. ”
Sure enough! After getting the "intermediate" version of "The God of Sleep Laughs and Forgets the Book", Yuan Fan realized that the world of exorcism was really just getting started!
On the initial version of "Sleeping God Laughing and Forgetting Book", there are only a few offensive spells, most of them are auxiliary and functional spells, similar to Zhenyue Talisman, Weak Fire Talisman, Flowing Water Talisman This kind of attack spell adds up to only twenty or thirty, compared to the spells on the middle level "Laughing and Forgetting Book", these are not so much attack spells, but these are used to scare ghosts, see if the timid ghost will be directly frightened to kneel and beg for mercy!
The last time Chen Chuan attacked Xiang Zhuang who had transformed into an "alien ghost" in his dream, the thunder talisman he used was a medium-grade spell, and the power was simply the difference between a grenade and a firecracker compared to a first-grade spell like a weak fire talisman! Although seeing the description of the medium-grade spell, Yuan Fan felt that the energy he had spent on the primary spell for half a year was a waste of time, but he kept telling himself that it was all about laying the foundation, and no one could master more advanced knowledge as soon as he came up. However, he doubted that when he finished learning the content of the intermediate level of exorcism, when Chen passed on the high-level "Sleeping God Laughing and Forgetting the Book", would he feel that learning the intermediate level knowledge was also a waste of time? He thought it was very likely.
Moreover, in the middle-level books, although the number of spells has increased, the proportion of spells in the overall knowledge has decreased a lot, and even Yuan Fan saw a sentence written crookedly on a certain page, which looks like a note: The deepest thing that binds exorcists is a large number of spells and charms.
This sounds like saying that the spell limits the improvement of the exorcist's level, but Yuan Fan doesn't understand it very well, what can he do without a spell to exorcise ghosts?
What made Yuan Fan happiest was that the mid-level book actually had an explanation of the elixir refining and formation layout! When Yuan Fan watched the TV series, many Taoist priests wanted to refine the pill, but most of the pills were very toxic. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, alchemy was a relatively prosperous dynasty, and Li Shiming, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, ate all kinds of so-called immortals and national teachers in order to pursue immortality, and many of these pills were with inedible ingredients such as cinnabar, which accelerated his death. Many of the next emperors ate poisonous pills, some pills made people unbearable poison and heat, and some pills made people change their temperament greatly, anyway, the emperors who were obsessed with becoming immortals and immortals almost didn't end well.
And the pills in "Sleeping God Laughing and Forgetting the Book" are obviously different from those pills, saying that they are pills, Yuan Fan feels that it is more like traditional Chinese medicine! It's just that after adding some strange methods, the function of the pill is also much different from that of traditional Chinese medicine.
Compared with the ancient refining of pills, which require very strict equipment requirements, there is no alchemy furnace for making pills in "Sleeping God Laughing and Forgetting the Book", only a container that can maintain a certain temperature, if you want, you can even use a rice cooker to refine the pill, good taste, just eat.
There is no description of simmering on high heat for a few hours and stir-frying for a few minutes, but more of a requirement for temperature, such as most of the elixir refining process, it is required to be kept in an environment of 80 degrees Celsius, but the above does not explain why this is done.
It is repeatedly mentioned in the book that when refining the elixir, the ratio of the materials is very important, and the order in which the materials are cast is also crucial, but what can affect the ability and effect of the elixir the most is the "understanding" and "thought" of the alchemist. This sentence is inexplicable, Yuan Fan studied for a long time and didn't understand what is the relationship between the alchemist's comprehension and the effect of the pill, the same material and production method, could it be that the alchemist's comprehension is different, and the effect is different?
Yuan Fan briefly looked at a few alchemy methods, and found that the refining of each pill was very cumbersome, and there were often more than a hundred steps in the refining of the pill! How do you remember this?
And the elixir is also divided into grades like a spell, primary, medium, high and extreme, of course, the highest-grade elixir in this middle-level "Sleeping God Laughing and Forgetting Book" is only a medium-grade one, and the book also mentions a high-grade elixir, and the "Tongshen Pill" that Yuan Fan ate is one of them. And the more advanced the elixir, the more cumbersome the refining process, why is it almost? Because Yuan Fan also saw a sentence in the book: Many times I think that the refining of most of the best elixirs should be as simple as pulling the peel of an orange.
The handwriting of this sentence is the same as the previous one about the spell, and it should have been written by the same person. However, Yuan Fan still couldn't imagine that even a medium-grade pill would have to take hundreds of steps in the refining process, how could the top-grade pill be simple?
Yuan Fan looked at the knowledge related to the pill for a while, and he found that although the book was written in detail, he still needed Chen Chuan to explain it to himself, and if he wanted to follow the book, he would practice the first pill according to the book, Yuan Fan was not so arrogant.
So Yuan Fan looked at it for a while, and then turned to another realm that was new to him - the formation! The earliest formations were applied in warfare, and ancient Chinese warfare was very particular about formations, that is, combat formations, which were called "arrays". If the formation is properly arranged, the combat effectiveness of the army can be brought into full play and the effect of defeating the enemy.
With the deepening of people's research on formations, many people have found that formations can also be used in other fields, and even formations can be arranged without people. For example, when alchemy, using a certain formation can improve the efficiency of alchemy, and for example, using a formation on the layout of the house can resist the robbers with bad intentions to a certain extent, and even improve the spiritual luck of the owner of the house - Yuan Fan secretly thought that this might be where Feng Shui came from!
Exorcists like Taoists, monks and exorcists also have different understandings of formations, they believe that formations have unique advantages for exorcism, using some items that are born with special functions, and arranging them with different formations can make exorcism twice as effective with half the effort! That day, Chen Chuan used some transparent small stones to arrange the formation to enhance the ability of his spells.
Yuan Fan suddenly thought of his Five Elements Explosion Spell, as if the five Elements Explosion Spell he used needed a certain spatial arrangement, and the effect between them was more significant, could it be that the Five Elements Explosion Spell he made was actually a formation? It's just that he's using a spell to set up the formation.
Thinking of this, Yuan Fan couldn't help but feel proud for a while, he had never been in contact with the formation, so he could create one! Isn't that genius what is?
The formations mentioned in "The Book of Laughter and Forgetfulness of the Sleeping God" are much more detailed, from the basic principles of the formations to the requirements for the items arranged in the formations, most of the formations need to be arranged with stones like crystals, and of course, the items required for the more advanced formations are also strange.
The formation is also divided into levels, and the level division is no different from pills and spells, and in the same way, the more advanced the formation, the more complicated the layout. Yuan Fan also flipped through it carefully to see if the strange commenter had left any interesting comments this time, but after turning it over and over again, Yuan Fan didn't find any strange comments, it seems that either the commentator didn't have any unique ideas, or he didn't have any in-depth research on the formation.
After reading the knowledge of formations for a few days in a row, Yuan Fan also felt as if he was a little saturated. Since Yuan Fan felt that he had already used spells to arrange the formation, he also had some experience in the formation. He tried to take some small crystals to arrange a few simple formations, but found that it was completely useless, and after comparing the "Sleeping God Laughing and Forgetting the Book" for a long time, Yuan Fan had to ask Chen Chuan what was going on.
However, Chen Chuan just smiled and said Don't be so anxious, wait until the end of the college entrance examination for intensive training, and then look at the formation and pills, Yuan Fan only needs to look at the middle-level spells now.
Yuan Fan rolled his eyes at Chen Chuan's mysterious answer, but thinking about it, he should take a look at the spell more, after all, he understands it, and if he doesn't understand it, he will get started much faster when he has time to teach it.
For a period of time, Yuan Fan was immersed in the study of middle-grade spells, and when he finally found out that he still had the task of taking the college entrance examination, there were only 11 days left until June 7 (college entrance examination day), and even the school had to go back to study by themselves!
Yuan Fan couldn't help but sigh, if he had the energy and dedication to reading exorcism books since he was a child, wouldn't he be thirty points higher than the level of science and technology, but could he try to reach the top schools?
But soon he put away this unrealistic idea, he is himself, what if!
In the final assault time, Yuan Fan still threw aside "Sleeping God Laughing and Forgetting Books", after all, he can't forget all the knowledge of the college entrance examination because he reads the book of exorcism, right? If he didn't even get into the science and technology that he thought was guaranteed, he might not even be in the mood to exorcise demons, which is a bottom-line issue that cannot be ignored.
When you focus on one thing, time will fly by, whether it is watching "Sleeping God Laughing and Forgetting Books" or reviewing, Yuan Fan has completely thrown himself in, so in the month before the college entrance examination, Yuan Fan simply felt that he was on the high-speed train of time, and before he could react, the college entrance examination day was coming.
Yuan Fan's college entrance examination room was assigned to the high school attached to Jiaotong University, and he also asked his classmates deliberately, only to find that none of their classes were from the same school as himself, and he didn't hope that someone could have an examination room with him, but it was very boring if there was not even a school, after all, he could only find a place to solve the problem of eating at noon - of course, he also suspected that even if a classmate was in a school, the parents of that classmate should also accompany the exam to solve the lunch problem, and he still had to eat alone.
However, when he was waiting in line to enter the examination room, he became uneasy, because there was Ding Yichen standing in front of him!
Ding Yichen was naturally very surprised when he saw Yuan Fan, Yuan Fan noticed that Ding Yichen's complexion was very bad, no, not to mention his complexion, Yuan Fan found that Ding Yichen was at least two times thinner than when he rescued her, you must know that she was originally quite well-proportioned, this time she completely belonged to the category of thin people, and the clothes on her body also looked loose. And her hair was also a little dry, very messy and casually combed back of her head, and her eyes looked wilted as if they were not hydrated. With this mental outlook, it is definitely not a good state to cope with the college entrance examination.
"Hey!" Yuan Fan said hello awkwardly.
"Hey!" Ding Yichen smiled and replied.
"You...... How do you feel so bad! Although Yuan Fan knew that it was not good to say this at this point in time, he still slipped his mouth and said it.
Ding Yichen was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said: "The pressure of the college entrance examination is relatively high, and I don't adjust very well, it's okay." ”
Yuan Fan nodded, and then the two didn't communicate much. He didn't believe Ding Yichen's reason at all, and he suddenly thought that it would be because of himself?
"Is it because I pierced Wan Kun's false face that she couldn't slow down?" Yuan Fan lowered his head and thought, "Or is it because of her...... In fact, you found out that I am very good, and you still miss me? ”
Yuan Fan secretly stuck out his tongue, what was he thinking! How can it be?
However, he soon knew the reason for Ding Yichen's ghostly appearance, just as they walked towards the examination room.
