Chapter 124: Talismans and Formations
Old man Cheng came back at dinner, and looking at his smug appearance, it was estimated that he had cheated a lot of money. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
After eating, Zhuo Hui entered the room with Old Man Cheng, and he wanted to discuss some things with Old Cheng, such as the possibility of Zhang Yan and others cultivating mana, and the production of some primary talismans.
As for the existence of the ghost king Chu Haoyue, Zhuo Hui was not ready to tell the old man for the time being. Chu Haoyue's level is not something that he Zhuo Hui can control now, so he is afraid that Cheng Lao will come up with all kinds of ridiculous ideas after he finds out.
The two girls whispered and entered another room, and what made Zhuo Hui cry and laugh was that Ni Kexin also locked the door. Of course, they knew that they couldn't hide their actions from Zhuo Gui, and in fact, they didn't want to hide it at all, so they told Zhuo Gui through this action that they would either sleep on the sofa or go to sleep in the grocery store!
Cheng Shouzheng told Zhuo Gui that the production of talismans can be made with ordinary rice paper, but some particularly advanced and powerful talismans need to be made of special animal skins. And the pen that draws the talisman, any kind of wolf can do, and in case of emergency, you can also draw it directly with your fingers stained with blood. The pigment is cinnabar mixed blood, of course, its own essence blood.
There are many primary talismans, and the old man only knows three, the Detention Talisman, the Fire Bullet Talisman and the Sky Eye Talisman. The fire bullet charm is similar to the fireball technique in Xiuxian novels, which is used to fight ghosts. The name of the Tianyan Talisman is loud, but it is useless, and it can only see ghosts within a certain range when you carry it in your arms. Ni Kexin also has a few of these talismans, which were given to her by the people of Beishan Dao at the beginning. The Detention Charm imprisons the ghost to a certain extent, giving the mage more time to think about whether to catch the ghost or run away. When he subdued Lin Dandan's ghost, Old Man Cheng used up his only talisman, which was the Detention Talisman.
Cheng Shouzheng made it clear that these three kinds of talismans were actually useless to Zhuo Hui. The Detention Talisman and the Fire Bomb Talisman are simply children's toys under his Zhuo Gui's soul-locking and devouring power, and the Tianyan Talisman is even more of a joke, especially since Zhuo Gui has now learned to palm the thunder.
The old man was very interested in how Zhuo Hui learned to palm thunder, Zhuo Gui rolled his eyelids, and directly said that it was the first time that Panlong Village received ghosts, and the ghosts cut off their lives to save their lives and exchanged them. He didn't say that it was taught by Ni Kexin, but also to prevent the old man from pestering him to ask this and that. Zhuo Hui asked, this spell is called fright thunder in the ghost's mouth, and whether it is the same thing as palm thunder. The old man couldn't say anything, so he went over.
Although these three kinds of talismans have no effect on Zhuo Gui, after sealing a certain amount of mana, they can be used by ordinary people, such as Ni Kexin and Zhang Yan. The advantage of this is that it is not like an old man like Cheng, who uses a talisman to almost drain the essence and blood when he has no mana, so it can be regarded as no side effects. The disadvantage is that the mana will not last long, it will slowly dissipate on its own, basically for a month or two.
A month or two, that's enough.
As for the more advanced talismans, the old man also vaguely remembered a few, although he himself was not enough to use mana at the beginning, but it did not prevent him from teaching them to Zhuo Gui. It's just that he said that there is no need to teach it at the moment, let Zhuo Hui know these three basic talismans first, and make sure that he can control them, and it is not too late to teach them again.
There is only one way to form a formation, which is roughly similar to the effect of the Detention Talisman, which is called the Ecstasy Array. This formation is aimed at the ecstasy of ghosts, and within the scope of the formation, ghosts cannot escape. The range and power vary depending on the size of the mana of the arrayer, and the old man said, in terms of Zhuo Qi's current mana, it is about a hundred or ten square meters, and it is not very useful, and the materials required are a bit troublesome.
The materials of the talisman are easy to get, and almost every façade on the back street of Wenshu Monastery can buy cinnabar and brush rice paper. It's just a material for the formation method, and you need to use more than 50 years of peach wood. The longer it is aged, the better the effectiveness. Of course, in fact, talismans can also be made of peach wood, and the effect is better, and it can even be recycled, but in this way, in the words of Cheng Lao, the cost is too high.
Cheng Shouzheng didn't know the existence of the Ghost King's spell book, and Zhuo Ji learned three kinds of spells in that book, detaining the soul, dividing the soul, and seeing. I don't know if the other spells are not enough or the level of ancient texts is too poor, so I can't understand them at all.
There are six kinds of spells that he can use now, Soul Restraint, Soul Splitting, Perspective, Soul Locking, Devouring, and Soul Thunder. The first five must be ghost dao exercises, as for whether the frightened thunder is the palm thunder of the heavenly master dao, this remains to be verified. He Zhuo Qi couldn't tell at all right now that his mana was actually a ghost path or a heavenly master dao. Ni Kexin's words of "one cold and one hot" made him scratch his head a little, I don't understand!
According to the conjecture, the six spells should be far superior to the runes and formations passed down by Cheng Shouzheng. It's just that the talisman can save him a lot of mana, and secondly, he needs to make it for the people around him, so he decided to go to the row of stores the next day to buy all the talisman materials. It's easy to say that you can go to a familiar shop on the antique street to say hello, and you should be able to get it from the store where you buy the gourd. In the past, he couldn't tell the age of the peach, but now it was a trivial matter for him, and a little crossing into the mana to test the reaction of the peachwood was more effective than the annual rings.
The process of teaching talismans made Zhuo Gui have an urge to vomit blood, there is an idiom called ghost painting peach talismans, which is very appropriate, and I don't understand what kind of mess is drawn at all. Zhuo Hui asked Cheng Lao what these words were, and Cheng Lao glanced at him and said that it was not a word, it was a simple painting of an ancient divine beast. He searched the Internet according to the names of the divine beasts that Cheng Lao said, and shook his head with a wry smile, where can he see that the simplified ones are those vivid divine beasts!
The old man said that he couldn't, and asked him to memorize by rote, and said that he had to memorize it, and there could be no mistakes. The size scale can vary depending on the rune paper, but the stroke order must be exactly the same! Otherwise, it can't seal the mana at all, and it has no effect of the talisman at all. As for the success of the talisman drawn, it is easy to tell, if it is successful, then it will naturally give birth to some mana that can be clearly felt.
Well, rote memorization, we have this perseverance!
The formation is more complicated, and the pattern is engraved on the material. Cheng Lao asked Zhuo Hui to find some round wood branches to test, so as not to waste peach wood. And these patterns are all related to gossip, and they also need to make up for gossip knowledge.
If it weren't for the safety of the people around him, Zhuo Hui really wanted to turn around and leave! It's just a ghost, Lao Tzu pounces on it and works hard, so why bother to do these complicated things!
Zhuo Hui sighed and asked Cheng Shouzheng, these talismans and formations have no effect on ordinary people. The old man looked like he had swallowed a fly, but he still answered effectively, except for the Heavenly Eye Talisman. The reason is very simple, the talisman formation is aimed at the divine soul, and the living must have a divine soul! It's just that the living have yang energy, and the conflict between yang energy and mana will make the caster back. This point has been taught many times by him, and it is easy to understand.
In the end, Cheng Shouzheng taught him a mantra for the direction of the formation: Away from the four directions of Kan Duzhen, the north and south of the fire Ding Shui Gui, the thunder Yi Qinglong swallows the clouds and mist, and the Zexin White Tiger regulates the ghost!
