Chapter 29: Spiritism
By the time Moren returned to the tavern, it was already completely dark.
Boom!
Squeak...
Heavy books pressed against the wooden chair, and Moren pushed open the window, inhaling the cool breeze and looking at the evening sky.
The night is like an incomparably wide blanket, and the stars in the sky are like sparkling and shining gems adorned on this blanket, which is so magnificent that people forget to breathe. Sometimes Morun thinks that maybe it is not a happy thing to live in this world like this, quiet and plain.
But he has his own emotions that he can't let go, and those emotions are left behind in another world, a world that is far away and may never end.
Although it has gradually adapted to here.
Although the magical power has been gradually mastered.
Although he has gradually realized the path he will take next.
But......
I can't tell why, but there is always a trace of emptiness in my heart. It is like the boundless night sky, which is beautiful and vast, but it is too cold and lonely. Sentimentality has never been Morun's style, but it is nature, which is why a home is important, even above all wealth and power.
"Man's vocation is to have the courage to search for the truth. β
Morren still remembers this sentence, but many times, he selectively forgets it, just as he forgets the emotions of another world.
"Mom," he said, looking at the night sky, "shall I ever see you again?"
"I still want to eat dumplings, I want to eat chaos, I want to eat bread, I want to drink beer...... There is also a movie that has just been released, but it is too late to watch it. β
"The dream of an astronomer is no longer satisfying me. β
......
Ambition is always born quietly and peacefully, the night that no one knows, the endless night sky, can no longer be concealed and can not be contained, a teenager breaks free from the shackles of fate, humble, longing to control the rotation of the sun and the moon - he just wants to go back!
For this reason, he is willing to overturn this world and reverse the future.

The next day, Morun sat in the classroom, listening to the explanation of Teacher Yan of the "Rune Rites". At the same time, he also checked the "pocket spiritism" recorded by the chip.
"Pocket Spiritism" is a reward given by Mr. Xuan.
In fact, at that time, Teacher Xuan gave him two extraordinary rewards for him to choose: 1. Teacher Xuan's self-created advanced ninja method "Four Seasons Fireworks". 2. Teacher Xuan's self-created secret technique "Sealing Fire Brand". This seemingly thin old man, the assessment that seemed to be a joke, but he gave a reward that was enough to make most of the students in the elite class blush.
Moren was surprised, and hesitated for a long timeβhe was struggling. Because Teacher Xuan didn't introduce him to the role and power of ninja and secret arts, he didn't know which one to choose. Maybe you should ask before you choose, and most people do that. Is Morun an average person?
He is.
He asked, but the old man would not answer.
As a result, Morren didn't choose either. Instead, he made another request, in exchange for a reward, and he told the other party plainly: "I want a psychic that can store and carry items." This is the spiritism that he suddenly remembered that Uncle Lu, Teacher Yisu and others had performed.
You don't have to think about it, even if Teacher Xuan has it, he won't give it to him.
This is a treasure house that can store the endless wealth of the big family, and ordinary people can't afford to use it. However, the spiritism that Izu-sensei used in the classroom (full of textbooks) thought it was very good. Moron considered that he might leave the Fire Nation or travel around the world, and that spiritism like this would be necessary to store items in order for him to carry the materials with him to continue refining potions.
Eventually, he gets pocket spiritism.
Before leaving, Mo Lun found that Teacher Xuan still had a trace of unwillingness and reluctance, and he stopped talking. This indirectly confirmed one of his conjectures: "Four Seasons Fireworks" and "Sealed Fire Brand" are both imperfect ninjutsu because they originated from the meditation method "Sealing Fire" created by Master Xuan seven years ago. Maybe the meditation method has indeed been perfected, but these ninja methods and secret techniques are not necessarily.
This is probably the reason why the Secret Law Hall has never clearly placed this complete set of meditation methods, because it is not perfect enough.
......
Pocket Spiritism: Seven pockets, each standard pocket is about "3" square meters, for a total of "21" square meters. When summoned by Spiritism, it can be summoned alone or all seven pockets together.
Spiritism is not like ninja, it does not require superfluous sealing. All that is needed is a blood contract, and the connection between the pocket and the spellcaster is based on the blood contract, and the seal is just a key, the key to open the door.
Moron hadn't signed the blood pact yet, because he hadn't used the Pocket Spiritism to summon the "Pocket", so naturally he couldn't sign it.
For the first summoning, it is necessary to arrange the "summoning ceremony", which involves the inscription of runes and seals, and the protection of the pattern is naturally indispensable. However, with his current attainments, he is not sure that the arrangement of the ceremony will be completed, and it is a difficult problem to engrave the protective pattern and seal the method.
He didn't want to waste time here.
So, Morun plans to hire people.
The Rune Palace, a place similar to the Hall of Secret Laws, but far away.
Here, you can easily buy paper talismans such as detonation talismans, seal talismans, and afterlife talismans, which not only sell all kinds of rune paper, but also a large number of rune-related books for rent, and even accept rune inscriptions for ninja tools. However, the most popular in the Rune Hall is still the runemaster's - hiring.
Mo Lun had this idea, and he had already consulted the ground snake "Xue Ling" clearly. In addition to the previous ones, the Rune Hall also has a portable instrument called "Rune Plate" for sale, but it is not public, and if you want to buy a Rune Plate, you must have a status symbol of one star badge or more awarded by the Fire Nation to be eligible.
The summoning ritual that Moron needs, the Rune Hall also has rune plates for sale. With the rune, not only does he not need to hire someone to arrange the ritual, but he can even take out the rune plate anytime and anywhere to start the ritual and perform channeling.
It's very convenient.
Of course, just think about it. Moron wasn't even from the Fire Nation, he was just an outsider who had been recommended by the Lava Clan to study, and there were many places he couldn't visit, and many things he couldn't afford.
Today happened to be the "Rune Rite" class, and Mo Lun planned to wait for the end of the class, so he asked Mr. Yan and asked him to introduce an experienced rune master. As a rune teacher, he should know someone in this area.
"The materials used to make rune paper are generally the belly skin of a large predator, the spotted deer fluff and the red spider woven cloth. So, what are the materials for making special rune paper? Now, please stand up and answer. β
Mr. Hiko's voice woke up Morun.
He looked up, quickly reacted, got up and replied, "There is the sperm paper made from the purification of the tail fin of the fragrant whale, the iron tree flower paper soaked in mammoth tusk powder, and the animal skin paper of the cloud beast found last year. Of course, the best materials are the contemplation paper produced by the country of trees, the moon plum paper unique to the country of flowers, and the dew core paper made by the secret of the country of iron......"
Xue Ling sat in the seat next to him, and knew best the class habits of this "tablemate", who was in a fugue state most of the time, not to mention reading books and listening to lectures, a completely bad student. This time, he was finally caught by the teacher and called to answer the question. She originally wanted to see Moren make a fool of herself, but Morun's answer made her understand what it means to be a "lazy genius".
This damn creature must have gone back to tutoring after class...... Xue Ling was still imagining viciously, and Mo Lun had already finished answering.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The applause rang out, but Xue Ling, who was at the same table, did not react at all.
Teacher Yan's eyes flashed, he nodded, and praised with a smile: "Very good! I'm ashamed that some of the rune paper is unknown to the teacher. But according to Qingliu, it should all exist. In fact, there are only three kinds of special rune paper materials commonly used in our Fire Country: one is sperm paper, the same is iron tree flower paper, and the other is kelp paper. Because these materials are the most abundant, the cost is slightly less than that of other rune papers. β
"We all know that runes want to ............"
One morning passed, and after class, Mo Lun asked Teacher Yan about the rune master.
The day turned yellow, and the hot warm wind gradually turned slightly cooler.
Inside the tavern.
Just before he was about to open the door, Mo Lun asked again: "Teacher Yan, are you sure you want to help me arrange the summoning ceremony?
Teacher Yan shook his iconic black ponytail, took a deep breath of cigarette, spit out smoke rings, and said lightly: "Hurry up, if your kid's answer today didn't satisfy me, Lao Tzu wouldn't have arranged it for you." β
Morun pushed open the door and walked into the room.
"There's something special about the summoning ritual of pocket spiritism. Mr. Hiko-sensei walked in and looked around casually, "The first summoning pocket has an extremely close relationship with the caster's body. β
He took a cigarette in his mouth, pressed his hand lightly on the floor, and after a "bang", a wooden box appeared.
Mr. Hikoko flicked his trademark ponytail again, squinted and opened the box, from which he took out a bottle of dark blue powder, a pencil, and a blank piece of parchment-like paper. He blew lightly on the floor, and with a swoop, the floor, which was still a little dusty, was as smooth as a mirror in an instant.
He unscrewed the cap of the bottle, poured a small pile of dark blue powder on the floor, and then picked up the pen, when the pen lit up a faint white light, Mr. Yan's eyes also flashed a faint color, the hand just fell, the pen walked between the dragon and snake, the powder was formed, before and after only more than ten seconds, a strange rune appeared on the floor.
Mo Lun was taken aback, and saw that Teacher Yan had already begun to pack up his tools, and couldn't help asking: "Teacher Yan, this is finished? Don't you need a psychic stone? Also, you seem to have forgotten to engrave the protective pattern, right? β
"You know what. This is the perfect summoning ceremony!" Mr. Hikoko took the last puff of his cigarette and snuffed out the cigarette butt with his hand, "Do you know what kind of powder it was just now?"
Moren frowned, "Isn't it a Goling fan?"
"It's gorin powder, but it's the best unicorn horn made from goring powder. Teacher Yan glanced at Mo Lun with a calm expression.
"Goling powder made of unicorn spirit horns!" Mo Lun was a little dizzy, not because of the special Goling powder, but because he ......
"Mr. Yan, I didn't say I wanted to use this grade of Goling powder! β
Goling powder in Sin City, 2 million world coins 100 grams. He used a chip to calculate the Goling powder on the floor just now, which is 155 grams and more than 3 million world coins. If it had been a month ago, he could barely afford it, but now that most of the money was used to buy materials, he only had less than a million world coins on his hand.
For an ordinary summoning ceremony, a hundred thousand is enough, where is there such a luxury, and it is actually arranged with the top grade Ge Ling powder.
"It's a reward for you, free. Teacher Yan waved his hand a little impatiently, and threw the cigarette butt at Mo Lun, seeing that Mo Lun was dodging, he glared at him again, and handed over the parchment, "Hurry up and write the contract, do you want me to help you?"
With this level of Ge Ling Fan arranging the summoning ceremony, it is natural not to worry about whether the arrangement is successful. Morun pierced the skin with a thousand books, dipped it in blood, and began to write the formal contract text.
After a while, the contract was written and placed in the center of the ceremony, where there was originally a psychic stone, but with the Ge Ling powder made of unicorn spirit horns, there was no need for psychic stones.
Mo Lun drenched himself with blood along the entire rune array again, and stopped.
"Hum", as if deaf, Mo Lun's mind trembled, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he was about to fall backwards like anemic. At this time, a hand gently supported him.
Teacher Hiko-sensei looked at Morun, waiting for him to recover.
In about three minutes, Morun came to his senses, his face as pale as paper.
"This ......"
He looked at Mr. Hiko, and the other party shook his head, "Your reaction is very strong! A third of the blood in your body has been drained. This happens: either your body is too fragile to withstand the high-level Goling powder and spiritism, or the pocket you signed the blood pact with is something special. β
Moren leaned against the wall, staring at the parchment that had turned to black ash on the floor, and the scorch marks on the floor, a little awe-inspiring in his heart.
He never imagined that a simple summoning ritual could actually hide an unknown threat.
"Alright, now that the ceremony is over, I'm also leaving. Teacher Yan said, and without waiting for Mo Lun's response, he used the teleportation technique to leave the guest room directly.
Morun stood still, feeling the weakness in his body, stunned and unable to return to his senses.
For a long time, his right hand pressed against the wall, and nine hideous runes like swords, guns, swords, and halberds appeared, spreading to all sides in an instant, and with a "bang", the clouds were misty, and a bewitching red lip loomed.
"Nice to meet you!...... my host"
......
On the other side, Mr. Hikoko appeared in a dark hall. He bowed respectfully to the darkness and said solemnly, "I found the potion apparatus in his room, but I didn't sense the power of the True Abyss. Clear stream has been confirmed, and there are no problems. β
In the darkness, a very majestic voice was heard.
"The Lava Clan's recommendations rarely go wrong. "But don't let your guard down. The three great prophets all saw the blood-colored visions from the altar, and a catastrophe was destined for the near future. Even if it wasn't for the True Abyss, it could be a big disaster. β
"Yes!" A neat answer sounded in the dark hall, and Mr. Hiko was not the only one who came here.
At dusk, in the woods, the wind blows the leaves.
Xue Ling stared at him, "Why are you so late today?"
There was anger in his tone.
Mo Lun touched his nose, a little embarrassed, and at the same time a little delighted: "That...... Actually, I received two physical objects and one piece of good news today. β
"Hmm..."
Xue Ling asked, "What kind of thing?"
"I won't tell you this. Moren shook his head.
"The good news?"
Mo Lun looked excited, and waved vigorously, "Hahaha, my work is finally about to be signed." β
"Really?"
"Really. β
"It's amazing. Xue Ling jumped up like empathy, then squirmed again, and said shyly: "I also have good news for you." β
Mo Lun was stunned, "What good news?"
"I have a ......"
"Ho!" Morun's eyes were about to pop out, as if he had been struck by a thunderstorm.
Xue Ling took a deep breath and said seriously: "I'm serious, I have a hundred recommendation tickets, all for you!"
Mo Lun wiped a cold sweat and secretly exclaimed, "It's okay!
Students, Mo Lun's cultivation needs your full support! Please use "Recommended Votes", "Clicks", and "Favorites" to perfect his physique - as for the above scenario: If in doubt, please consult Mr. Isu.
A large chapter of more than 4,000 words, which is equivalent to a two-in-one chapter. Today most of the day is in the installation of large household appliances, back pain and shoulder pain, not to mention, wrist scratches, originally wanted to take a day off, but in the end I still wrote it out seriously, it's late, don't mind.
