Chapter 19: The Sword
Runes are ancient texts, some of which are twisted and twisted like tadpoles, some are like spiders, some are like old trees, and some are like a mountain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
According to legend, runes originated in ancient times, and were the medium through which the gods descended to allow mortals to communicate with heaven and earth, and each rune has a special power, which can be used alone or in combination with other runes to exert more power.
It's like ordinary words, each word has a meaning, but when combined, it can become a word, a paragraph, or even an article or a book.
The text carries the Tao, which shows the tremendous energy of the combination of words. For runes, it has the power to turn decay into magic.
Usually, runes are made up of vitality and spiritual power.
Spiritual power comes from the soul of the cultivator, and is stored in the heavenly spirit aperture above the person's head. This is similar to the Dantian Qi Sea, and the Heavenly Spirit Aperture is also known as the Sea of Knowledge.
The higher the cultivation, the richer and stronger the spiritual power in the sea of consciousness.
It is worth mentioning that spiritual power has a wide range of effects, which can enhance the cultivator's senses, such as sight, smell, hearing, etc., and can also be released outwards for exploration, or deep into the human body for internal vision......
on the carriage.
Dongfang Jun didn't know when he had gotten out of the carriage.
Nie Fei lay sideways, his eyes closed.
His soul is in the Tower of Eternity to ask Jin Lao for rune magic.
"The biggest difficulty in practicing rune art is to control mental power, which is a small difference and a thousand miles wrong, which is why it takes about twenty years for others to achieve something. However, your situation is very different from that of others, there is still a self in you, and we can be opportunistic and cooperate in the division of labor. ”
Jin Lao was concise and to the point.
"Division of labor?"
After all, Nie Fei was in contact with rune art for the first time, and he didn't understand the details very well.
"Although the rune is a mixture of vitality and spiritual power, it does not require that the two come from the same person. Therefore, you only need to outline the 'shape' of the rune with your vitality, and leave the 'meaning' of the spiritual power part to me to inject. ”
Jin Lao paused, and then said: "Of course, it is not easy to draw shapes, and you need to practice diligently. For the rest of the day, you'll stay in this Tower of Eternity and practice drawing runes with me. ”
Nie Feiqi said: "I am in the soul state, can I also exert vitality?"
Jin Lao said: "As long as the body is still there, there is no difference between the soul and the entity. If I have an entity, where can I find someone else to make a charm, I can ...... it myself."
Speaking of this, he suddenly slapped his thigh: "Oh, a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and almost forgot a crucial thing." ”
Nie Fei was surprised: "What's the matter?"
Jin Lao said: "Are you good at finger power? Drawing runes requires good finger power, and this is not something that can be done quickly in dozens or hundreds of days." If you don't, our plan will have to be abandoned. ”
Nie Fei said unhurriedly: "Old friend, what do you think of my finger?"
He raised his right arm, stretched out his index finger, and a sharp sword light quickly emerged from his fingertips, the sword was an air sword, flexible and retractable, sending and receiving from the heart.
With a deflection of his fingers, the sword shot through the air, as fast as a meteor, with the tremendous power of instantly killing the enemy a hundred steps away.
The speed and edge of this sword were as shocking as a lightning bolt in the night!
Jin Lao saw it in his eyes and said movingly: "What a powerful sword! No wonder you are not worried at all, it turns out that you have no fear." ”
Nie Fei said: "Our Nie family is good at finger power, since I was three years old, I have begun to practice finger power hard, cold and summer, keep improving. This sword, I can issue not only from the index finger, but also from the thumb, middle finger, little finger, ring finger. Both left and right hands. ”
Jin Lao inquired curiously: "What is the name of your swordsmanship, is there a ranking on the exercise list?"
Nie Fei said: "My sword technique is called Jinghong Sword, and there is no ranking on the exercise list. ”
Jin Lao was stunned: "This is impossible, although your cultivation is a little worse, but the sword qi, sword momentum, and sword intent are all superior exercises, and I don't think it's worse than that kid's dragon lance, how can there be no ranking?"
Nie Fei explained: "When my father passed the Amazing Sword to me, he once said that after I was born, a master from outside the world combined with our Nie family's family heirloom Tiangang Finger to create it. The list of exercises is agreed upon every 30 years, and it is normal that it has not yet had time to be included in the list. ”
Jin Lao's eyes rolled, and he said, "Did your father say who this worldly master is? He can easily change and create a set of peerless swordsmanship, presumably there must be a great future, your Nie family has long since declined, how can you have such a powerful friend?"
Nie Fei recalled: "Regarding the identity of this worldly master, my father is vague and seems to have deliberately concealed something. I think this person may have something to do with my mother. ”
"You didn't ask your mother?"
"I've never seen my mother since I was born, and I don't even know what she looks like. ”
"Didn't your father ever tell you about your mother?"
"Every time I asked, my father was secretive and wouldn't explain, and over time, I stopped asking. And we, the people in Nie Jiazhuang, didn't even know anything about my mother. ”
"Now that your father has disappeared and you have not been heard from, will you not be able to know about your mother for the rest of your life?"
A strong sadness surged between Nie Fei's eyebrows: "I hope my father is still alive, and when this matter is over, I must go to the Wild Mountains to find him." ”
Missing in the Savage Mountain Range, he is basically dead, and there will be no bones left, he understands this in his heart, but he doesn't want to believe it, let alone give up!
As a son of man, how can you give up easily?
Jin Lao walked over, patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, and said, "The matter has come to this, no matter how sad you are, it is useless." Right now, hard work in cultivation is. ”
Nie Fei nodded.
"I'll teach you a simple rune first. ”
As he spoke, Jin Lao stretched out his index finger and drew a rune similar to '氺' in the air, the rune was black, frozen in the air, like ink condensed on white paper.
Nie Fei followed suit and drew one, crooked, unshaped, and quickly dissipated.
Jin Lao pointed out: "Although the requirements for runes are not very strict, there are certain rules and rules, and you can't graffiti at will. You imitate my stroke order and technique and try again. ”
"Hmm. ”
Nie Fei painted a cat and a tiger, and tried more than ten times before finally succeeding, and the runes he depicted were the same as the color of the vitality in his body, red and gorgeous.
Jin Lao said: "This rune I taught you is a cold rune, the moment the rune is formed, there will be a cold air sweeping, but because there is no spiritual power injected, it will be empty." ”
Nie Fei said: "You can't inject it now?"
Jin Lao shook his head and said, "The drawing and painting must be carried out at the same time and completed at the same time. This is also the biggest difficulty for two people to work together to draw runes. ”
Nie Fei pondered, "So, the most important thing for us at the moment is to practice more in order to develop a tacit understanding of drawing runes?"
Jin Lao said: "Not bad. Fortunately, you and I have the same mind, and it is not difficult to form a tacit understanding. Let's start practicing. ”
In this way, the two practiced intensively, and the tacit understanding became higher and higher, and the runes they practiced became more and more difficult.
A few days later.
Nie Fei waved his hand and sketched an extremely complex rune in the air, and when the rune was formed, a group of black crows flew out of it, chirping, and hovered in the air for a while before finally disappearing and turning into nothing.
Seeing this scene, Nie Fei and Jin Lao both showed joy on their faces.
Jin Lao said: "Such a complex rune, we can also complete it at one time, and if we encounter some more obscure runes in the future, we don't need to practice in advance." To outsiders, you are now a master of runes. ”
Nie Fei clenched his fists: "It's all up to your old friend to cultivate carefully." But if I have the opportunity in the future, I still have to learn the rune art in a solid way, otherwise, it will be in vain and flashy after all. ”
Boss Jin said appreciatively: "It's good that you can think like this." Only the strength that truly belongs to oneself is worthy of pride and reliance. By the way, I see that your sea of qi is becoming more and more full, and it will soon be filled, and at that time, the old man will let you see what it means to ascend to the sky in one step!"
These words undoubtedly made the joy on Nie Fei's face even stronger, but he didn't ask in detail what kind of level it was to ascend to the sky in one step.
He returned to his body.
In the past few days, I have been practicing rune techniques during the day and absorbing fire lotus seeds at night, which is really tiring, even if it is a cultivator, I can't bear it.
He needed a break.
Once the spirit is relaxed, the person falls asleep, snoring like thunder, and does not gradually wake up until the afternoon of the next day.
He stretched, lifted the curtains, and looked into the distance, only to see a tall wall standing majestically at the end of the sight, and the golden bricks glittered in the sun.
This city, which is Gangneung City, the ancient capital of the Three Dynasties, has long lost its former majesty and glory, leaving only the tranquility and peace after the vicissitudes of life.
It was not the first time Nie Fei had come to Jiangling City, when he was very young, his father took him to visit relatives and friends, and he stayed here for a few days, and he still had some memories in his heart.
Now that I am revisiting the old place, things are not people, and I have a different taste in my heart.
