Chapter 55: Learning a New Spell
Next, Gu Xu learned from Luo Sishou that Shangguan Jin, He Yiqun, the senior brother of the national teacher who served as the enshrinement of the Exorcism Division, and Xiao Shangyuan, the eldest prince, had all tried to learn this "Star Array" spell, but the effect was not very good.
Shangguan Jin's main star in the natal palace is the "Tianyue Star", and most of the time she will summon other stars in the "Six Auspicious Stars", such as "Zuo Fu", "Right Bi", "Tiankui" and so on.
However, due to the peach blossom attribute of "Tianyue Xing", she will occasionally summon "Hongluan Xing" or "Tianyao Xing" - the former is the main marriage, and the latter is the main lust.
These two stars have no lethal power, but they will make the ordinary people around her have a good impression of her indiscriminately, just like the ghosts will have a strong interest in Gu Xu's "Summoning Spirit Body".
Because of this, this "Star Array" spell has caused her trouble many times - for example, a five-year-old boy in Nanyang Mansion once swore that she would not marry in the future; For example, the Oiran in the Qinglou of Runing Mansion once enthusiastically invited her to spend the night with her; For example, there is an old woman who has lost her teeth in order to stay with her for the rest of her life, and she buys a lot of money to buy a miracle medicine for rejuvenation, and then she is cheated out of all her family property......
After experiencing these headaches, Shangguan Jin simply gave up the spell.
She likes to hold her fate firmly in her own hands, and hates this kind of thing that is full of randomness and needs to fight for character.
…………
He Yiqun, the younger brother of the national teacher, is a casual person.
He lives in the world, has no ideals, no ambitions, just wants to pursue inner pleasure, wandering the world, looking for all interesting people or things.
He was curious about the new owner of the "Jinghong Pen", so he rushed to Yishui County thousands of miles away, just wanting to see Gu Xu in person; He also risked his life to climb Yishan because he heard that the Snow Girl was as beautiful as a fairy.
Spells like the "Star Array", which has the nature of drawing blind boxes, have undoubtedly succeeded in arousing He Yiqun's interest.
But it wasn't long before he felt that, as a monk with mediocre luck, he really shouldn't have learned this spell.
After shaking hands with the enemy, he thought that he could summon a "Tianliang Star" with auxiliary buff attributes to help him quickly recover his true element, but he accidentally summoned the murderous "Broken Army Star", causing the enemy to think that he had reversed his word, and had to fight with the other party......
…………
As for the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan, he came with a gift a few years ago and made a request in front of Luo Chuan, hoping to learn this esoteric spell.
He hoped to use this spell to prove his qualifications and abilities, so as to get one step closer to the "Tai'a Sword", which symbolized imperial power.
He once held the booklet in Gu Xu's hand and retreated in the retreat room for more than a month, and he knew every sentence written on it by heart.
But later he found out that the spell of "Star Array" and the ancestral technique of the Great Qi royal family, "Heavenly Dragon Heart Sutra", seemed to be mutually exclusive.
As long as he followed the meridian path of the Heavenly Dragon Heart Sutra to run the true element in his body, he would not be able to cast the "Star Array" at all.
So he finally chose to give up.
…………
After listening to Luo Chuan's words, Gu Xu frowned slightly.
"Star Array" is indeed a powerful spell, but its shortcomings are also very obvious.
It's too dependent on luck.
Like Shangguan Jin, Gu Xu also hopes to firmly grasp his fate in his own hands, instead of pinning his hopes on illusory luck.
"Gu Xiaoyou, the reason why they are only swayed by luck is because they haven't practiced this spell yet," Luo Chuan noticed the change in Gu Xu's expression and said with a smile, "However, once you truly comprehend the true meaning of the Great Dao, you will be able to summon the stars you want with your own will completely."
"At that time, you will be a commander, and Putian Xingdou will be your army, and you can order generals and arrange troops at will."
Speaking of this, Luo Chuan stood up and asked Gu Xu, "Why don't I summon the Sun Star and the Taiyin Star to show you now?" ”
Gu Xu pondered for two seconds and nodded.
He was indeed very curious about the true effect of the "Star Array" spell.
Luo Chuan smiled, chanted a complex and lengthy incantation, and then waved his sleeves.
Suddenly, two dazzling balls of light appeared beside him, slowly rotating around him in a specific trajectory. One of them is a bright orange with a scorching temperature; The other is a cold silvery-white color, exuding a bitter chill.
The temperature in the attic was also hot and cold - of course, because Luo Chuan deliberately controlled the strength of the true element, the temperature change was not very drastic.
This made Gu Xu feel as if he was sitting next to the heater blowing the air conditioner.
A few minutes later, Luo Chuan's mind moved and terminated the spell of the "Star Array".
The two orbs of light, orange and silvery, vanished in an instant.
The temperature in the house quickly recovered.
At the same time, Gu Xu inexplicably had a wonderful intuition in his heart: he felt that it might not take long for him to completely master this spell.
At this time, Luo Chuan suddenly noticed that the tea in Gu Xu's cup was a lot colder, so he planned to pour him a cup of tea again, and asked Gu Xu: "Do you think the taste of this tea is too bitter and not delicious?" Would you like to try it differently? ”
Luo Chuan said that in his own space magic weapon, there are all kinds of tea leaves such as Da Hong Pao, Silver Needle, Mao Feng, White Peony, Chrysanthemum Tea, Jasmine Tea, etc., and there must be one that can make Gu Xu satisfied.
Gu Xu was silent for two seconds, then smiled and politely declined.
He tried to get used to the overly polite behavior of the head of Lotus, while repeatedly telling himself to stay calm.
"I almost forgot an important question," as the conversation was about to end, Luo Sishou suddenly raised his tone and said to Gu Xu, "Gu Xiaoyou, people like you who have practiced the 'Seven Styles of Burning Heaven' may not be very receptive to my 'Way of Destiny'.
"But you don't have to worry about that.
"Because the true meaning of the Great Dao in the 'Star Array' spell comes from the Zhongtian Arctic Ziwei Emperor, it is more vast and profound than my 'Dao of Destiny'.
"You can feel it and digest it completely by your intuition. Maybe in the near future, you will understand it far better than I do. ”
…………
By the time Gu Xu left the small attic, it was already time for lunch.
He walked through the backyard and walked straight towards the Yamen Chef.
"Hey, Gu Xu! You're coming to dinner, too! ”
Before he could reach the door, a petite girl rushed towards him along the long corridor, looking like a small animal that had just jumped into the world in the spring light, bursting with vigorous vitality all over her body.
It was Shi Xiaohan who couldn't wait to run out of the library to have lunch.
Because she was running too fast, she almost couldn't stop the car and almost hit Gu Xu head-on.
Gu Xu was apprehensive about this.
This girl has a terrible brute strength, and his own physical fitness is about that of a mortal; If you do bump into it...... In the case of not using the true element, the consequences are unimaginable.
Seeing Gu Xu's expression, Shi Xiaohan sneered, lifted his black robe slightly, revealing his white slender ankles and small and delicate pale pink embroidered shoes, and said very quickly: "Sorry, this newly bought shoe is somehow a little slippery." Gu Xu, did you scare you just now? ”
"It's fine." Gu Xu quickly regained his composure.
"I have two pieces of news here to tell you, one good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Shi Xiaohan seemed to be in a good mood today, and played the old routine with him.
"Bad news!"
"I had already guessed that you would choose this way," Shi Xiaohan raised his face to look at him, clasping his hands in front of his chest, "The bad news is that I've long been fed up with staying in the Library Pavilion every day to endorse books!" It's worse than starving!
"Therefore, this woman announced that she would give up competing for the position of 'chief bookkeeper' and no longer want to be an official in the capital with you."
"Oh, it does sound like a pity," Gu Xu pretended to sigh, "What about the good news?" ”
"The good news is that someone told me this morning that I was recommended by Lord Si Shou to go to Longmen Academy for further study," Speaking of this, a happy smile bloomed on her face again, revealing two pointed little tiger teeth, while her hands tightly grasped Gu Xu's sleeves, "In the next nine months, I will still stay in Luojing City, and I will not be forcibly driven home!" ”
The pair of bright apricot eyes under the girl's slender eyelashes looked at his face at an angle of forty-five degrees, and there was a moving light flashing in the middle, as if silently saying: It's good to continue to stay in the same city with you.
"That's amazing!" Gu Xu also smiled.
He thought: It seems that she doesn't know that I am behind this, which is good.
…………
After the meal, Gu Xu returned to the "Qingxiang Pavilion" where he temporarily lived and began to learn new spells.
He first opened the notes written by the national teacher and his younger brother He Yiqun on the second type of "Bright Candle" in "The Seven Styles of Burning the Sky", and then reread "The candle will eventually turn to ashes" several times.
He didn't immediately flip back, but closed the booklet.
Because he knows that such a thing as a high-grade spell can be understood by himself, and he should try to understand it by himself.
If you refer to the understanding of others, you may be more or less influenced by the subjective thoughts of others, and it is difficult to truly appreciate the most primitive true meaning left by the spell creator.
- Just like before a movie, if you read a book review or movie review first, you will inevitably have some preconceived ideas.
He stood up, took a short candle from the cabinet by the wall, and placed it firmly on the candlestick.
A scorching True Yuan flame burst into his palm, lighting the candle.
Maybe it's daytime and the candle doesn't look bright.
But Gu Xu's attention was all attracted by it.
He stood on the edge of the menorah, watching the orange flames spin and dance like dancing girls in gorgeous dresses, watching the candles get shorter and shorter, watching the wax oil fall drop by drop and then condense into solid blocks of wax.
When the wick was finished, the flame was extinguished.
At this moment, Gu Xu finally understood the true meaning of "bright candle"-
Burn yourself and light up the world.
Only those who are not afraid of sacrifice have the power to change the whole world.
He closed his eyes.
His divine soul became a candlewick, his true element became paraffin, and his will became a fire.
Three, two, one.
Ignite!
He was covered in flames, as if he were wearing a robe made of flames.
The blazing heat spread in all directions around him, engulfing the entire room in an instant.
But he stood in the fire, unharmed.
