Chapter 135: The Road of Evolution
"Not really, I can only say that it can barely be used to induce spells. Li shook his head.
"But he did quiet down. ”
"The dog demon's resistance to Kanshu is already very low, if I were to make the talisman, he should have fallen asleep at this moment. The fox demon shook his ears and said.
All right...... It seems that the sigils copied by the cat and the tiger are no different from the failed ones. The biggest problem with the talisman is that a cursive character is wonderful to some people, but like a chicken's claw to others. If the meditation talisman is improved according to Lai's idea, it will be replaced by another practitioner who holds other views, and the effect will be greatly reduced.
The other talismans are no better.
However, Xia Fan can at least understand the meaning of the above patterns - such as the willow brush, the three oblique lines on the top represent the fluttering willows, and the few horizontal curves below should be the ripples of the lake. Although it is a bit abstract, it is the result of thousands of years of refinement, and it is easy to confuse it with other talismans if it is simplified, and the more accurate drawing is a waste of pen and ink, and the effect is not significantly improved.
It is precisely because he can understand that the role in Luo Youer's hands is much greater than that of the meditation talisman.
Nine times out of ten, the Dawn of the Awakening Technique evolved from a bonfire, and the Seismic Streamer looked like lightning reflected in the water.
The only thing he could do was the purple glow sigil, which he couldn't associate with anything real—if there was any trace of Kanshu meditation, it was a bit like a twisted gibberish.
I don't know who came up with this weird pattern.
Obviously, with the exception of the last spell, the development of these talismans resembles words.
It has evolved as people have become more aware of the magic, but it is more private.
Words need to be used to communicate, but magic is not.
- Crucially, it is neither predestined nor given by the gods.
An idea gradually emerged in Xia Fan's heart.
He unfolded a piece of paper and began to draw the talisman.
If you want it to be a "charm" rather than a "graffiti", you have to conceive the effect of the spell in your mind and inject qi into the pen. As for whether ink or cinnabar is used, the difference is minimal. He had also heard from his master that some monks liked to use their own blood to make talismans, and their skills would be stronger. For this kind of self-harm, he is still insensitive.
"Hmm?" Shan Hui got up from the ground, "What happened to me just now? ”
"Shhhh Li Bi made a low gesture, "Xia Fan is studying the magic technique, you go and walk outside the courtyard." ”
"Your Excellency...... Are you drawing a new talisman?" said Shiba Inu, wagging his tail, "It's not something that can be done in a day or two, is it?"
"So you know. ”
"I've seen shrine maidens do it. She locked herself in the monastery for almost a week, but in the end she couldn't make it. ”
"It's not that easy. Li looked at Xia Fan, who was struggling to write, with a bright smile in his eyes. Gambling talismans are like gambling stones, there are all kinds of ideas in people's minds, no one knows which one will work, and the basic talisman that has been refined so far has been tested by thousands of square scholars. "But if it's Xia Fan, it shouldn't be in vain, after all, the thinking in his head is not the same as that of normal people. I guess it will take a few days, and it should be able to ......."
As soon as she said this, she saw Xia Fan raise his hand.
When the sigil turned into green smoke, a purple electric light appeared in front of him! It looked like a streamer, but both the thickness of the arc of light and the length of the purple light were significantly different from the previous shock technique.
The twisting arc of electricity spread to the edge of the courtyard wall before disappearing, and a slight fishy stench filled the air.
He's only drawn a few talismans, and that's it?
Li was stunned and blinked in place, although he guessed that Xia Fan would be faster than ordinary people, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
Sure enough, the expression of the talisman is not limited to natural descriptions. Xia Fan put down his pen and let out a sigh.
"What have you drawn?" As the person with the most comprehensive knowledge of magic in the villa, Li couldn't help but be curious, and she walked over to the long table and picked up one of the sketches.
Then she saw a heavenly book: several horizontal and vertical lines formed the overall framework of the talisman, some straight lines connected to a wavy curve, and some straight lines connected to small squares. Their arrangement seems to follow a certain logic, but the overall arrangement is confusing.
Li immediately realized that this rune had nothing to do with any kind of Basic Seismic Rune, and was purely a new type of rune!
It's hard enough to improve, let alone completely homemade?
After all, some alchemists will use a one-to-one method to replace the strokes of the spell with a pattern that they only know, so as to enhance the secrecy, but this practice will correspondingly weaken the power of the spell.
And the lightning just now shows that this new architecture does not come at the cost of losing power, it is essentially a better way to express it!
It's just that Li Shi can't associate these boxy things with fleeting arcs.
"It's just a simple boost circuit. ”
Xia Fan smiled and didn't explain much, because this thing didn't start from the beginning, and it would be difficult for anyone to understand the meaning of those lines and squares.
There is no doubt that this talisman is currently the same as the Copper Wire Pendant, and it is only valid for him alone. But the former is much more far-reaching—it means that it is feasible to reduce differences in thinking through "norms."
Whether the line segment representing the path is drawn in the hands of different people, and whether the block representing the resistance value is drawn large or small, will not affect the effect of another person reading the symbol. Even if tens or even hundreds of years have passed, what parts have been added to the sigil and which routes have been changed, future generations can see at a glance.
When this norm can one day spread, and everyone improves their spells according to this idea, even if it is a talisman drawn by the Fengguo Fangshi, the Qiguo Fangshi can use it immediately.
More importantly, the nature of the mind may no longer be an obstacle to cross-disciplinary research. A Sundal alchemist who is completely incapable of performing seismosis may also be able to make suggestions that are extremely instructive to seismosis after learning and mastering this set of rules.
In fact, interdisciplinarity abounds in the history of science, and the inspiration gained in one study can often be applied to other projects, and this is the meaning of the framework.
Of course, Xia Fan knew that this set of frameworks was still at the level of "symbolism", and in addition to the seismic technique, he would not have much clue about other spells, especially the Kanshu and Qianshu, but after setting up a framework template, who was sure that there would be no imitators to follow in the future?
Even if this set of talisman expressions is eliminated much later, it shows that people's understanding of magic has reached a new level. As a pioneer, he has no regrets.
