As we all know, Chiyangzi, the master of the Great Qi National Master and the founder of the Seven Styles of Burning Heaven, was a very erudite monk.

He majored in the way of Fu Seal Formation, but he also knew swordsmanship, so the essence of the first type of "Fireflies" in "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" was actually "Sword Formation" - a thousand flying swords flew towards the enemy with a faint firelight, looking like fireflies flying in the night sky.

Of course, Gu Xu did not stick to the "flying sword".

In his hands, everything in the world can become the medium for him to exert "fireflies" - the autumn leaves, the water of the Luo River, the dead branches and gravel in the forest, can all be used by him.

It can be said that "everything can be a sword".

This is undoubtedly in line with Chiyangzi's "Tao" of rebelling against tradition and breaking rules.

The second form of "Seven Styles of Burning the Sky", "Bright Candle", combines the way of the talisman array and the secret method of stimulating the body's potential.

It requires the monk to use himself as a material to construct a formation.

The true element is the energy of the formation.

The spiritual will is the eye of the array.

Once the formation is successfully constructed, the flow speed of the True Element in the body will instantly increase dramatically, and a bright and blazing flame will burst out.

Within a radius of more than ten meters around the monk, there will be a field of high temperatures, enough to melt the metal - if the opponent does not have enough defenses, he will be scorched to death in an instant.

But that's not the main role of the "bright candle".

It was actually similar to the "rage" that Chu Fengge had learned, and it was a means that could improve the strength of the True Yuan and enhance the combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

Once Gu Xu opens the "Bright Candle", all the fire attribute spells he casts will have about three times the power of the original, and this number will continue to increase as the monk's cultivation increases.

Of course, "bright candles" are time-limited, and they cannot exist at the same time as "time" - after all, they consume true elements fast enough to be described as "terrifying". Even if Gu Xu's True Yuan was more robust and condensed than that of ordinary Third Realm cultivators, it was impossible to afford these two "big fuel guzzlers" at the same time.

After a moment, he opened his eyes.

The flames slowly extinguished, and the temperature in the room gradually recovered.

It's just that some of the wooden furniture in the "Qingxiang Pavilion" is slightly blackened.

…………

Gu Xu still remembered that when he had just escaped death from Qingzhou Mansion and came to the headquarters of the Exorcism Division in Luojing City, there was a Jiupin detective named Qu Jinglong who took him to visit the Yamen.

"This 'Qingxiang Pavilion' is a temporary residence prepared by the Exorcism Division for distinguished guests," Qu Jinglong once introduced, "In this room, all the furniture items, as well as the walls, floors, and ceilings, are arranged with special magic circles under the auspices of the head of the temple.

"Master Gu, you can practice all kinds of spells in this place at will, without worrying about interference from the outside world, and you don't have to worry about damaging the furnishings in the house."

"Really?" Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, "You may not know, the few spells I learned are a little bit more lethal, I'm afraid these magic circles may not be able to-"

"—The magic circles in this room have been tested repeatedly, and they can withstand the full force of the peak powerhouse of the sixth realm," Qu Jinglong patted his chest and said in a confident and proud tone, as if these magic circles were all designed by himself, "Master Gu, you just need to cultivate boldly and confidently!" If it's really broken, it can only mean that the formation masters of the Exorcism Division are not proficient, and it is definitely not your problem! ”

"If I do break them, do I need to pay for the damage?" Gu Xu asked seriously.

The various methods he mastered, such as the spell of the "Shocking Pen", the "Seven Styles of Burning the Sky", the authority of "Time", etc., are all very high-level.

These spells could stop the full force of the Sixth Realm cultivator's blow, but they might not be able to stop his suppression at the level of the Great Dao Law.

The furniture in the "Qingxiang Pavilion" looks very valuable, and even the beams are made of nanmu. If there is any damage, I am afraid that he may not be able to afford it for a few months, or even years.

"Of course not!" Qu Jinglong said without thinking.

Gu Xu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of this, he no longer had to compete with other officials for the ashram. As long as he stayed in this quiet and spacious "Fragrance Pavilion", he could complete his daily cultivation, as well as the study and improvement of spells.

He had heard Shangguan Jian say that the ashram at the headquarters of the Exorcism Division was divided into three levels - the first class was only available to officials of the sixth rank and above, the second class was available to all officials, and the third class was for minor officials who did not have official ranks.

At present, the second and third level retreat rooms are all occupied, and there are even queues for more than two months.

…………

At this moment, Gu Xu looked at the slightly blackened furniture and shook his head with a smile.

The magic circle in the "Qingxiang Pavilion" is indeed a bit famous.

If it were an ordinary house, I am afraid that it would have been completely burned to ashes under the high temperature of the "bright candle".

Of course, these circles are still under the effect of "bright candles", and there are some minor flaws.

"Love, it seems that I have to work hard for the formation masters in the yamen." He thought to himself silently.

Then, with a thought, he took out the small notebook and charcoal that he had carried with him for a long time from the "Xianyunju", and quickly recorded on it:

"Experiment time: the twenty-second day of the first month of the twenty-fourth year of Tianxing;

"Experimental content: test the effect of the second type of 'bright candle' in the Seven Styles of Burning the Sky;

"Experimental Results: 'Bright Candle' can increase the power of True Yuan in a short period of time, create a wide range of high temperatures, and cause minor damage to the formation in the 'Clear Fragrance Pavilion' that is claimed to be built by the head of Luo Si and 'can withstand the full force of the Fifth Realm Monk';

"Conclusion:

"First, the true meaning of the 'Seven Styles of Burning the Sky' lies in the destruction of the rules, and the same is true of the 'Bright Candle'. Other fire-type spells may only cause a superficial scorching effect; However, the "bright candle" can disintegrate things from the inside out at the level of rules.

"Second, to use the 'bright candle', you need to let go of scruples, let go of fears, and be guided by unwavering spiritual will in order to ignite your own true essence and potential.

"Note: I'm becoming more and more curious about what kind of person Chiyangzi, the founder of the Seven Styles of Burning Heaven, is, and why he went mad and abandoned his cultivation in the Eighth Realm - is it because Ascension is a scam, or is there some other reason?"

…………

After completing the experimental records, Gu Xu began to continue reading the notes written by the Great Qi National Master and He Yiqun in the booklet.

Now Gu Xu has a preliminary understanding of "bright candles".

He wants to compare his conclusions with those of others, perhaps with some new inspiration and some details that he has overlooked.

The Great Qi National Teacher's view of the "bright candle" is similar to "bow to the end, and then die", "the wax torch turns to ashes and tears begin to dry". He felt that in life, he should be diligent, do his best, and dedicate all his strength to the country and the people, so that the Great Qi Dynasty can develop in a better direction.

He Yiqun's view of "bright candles" is that "life is like a candle, and there will be an end after all". He believes that since everyone dies, then when we live, we should not sink into darkness, but burn and shine to the fullest.

"I didn't expect different people's understanding of the same spell to be so different," after seeing these contents, Gu Xu couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, "However, I think my understanding should be the closest to the true meaning of the 'Burning Sky Seven Styles'." ”

He was glad that he hadn't read the opinions of these "authorities" before he became enlightened.

Otherwise, his train of thought is likely to be affected and restricted.

Of course, there is a deviation in the understanding of the Great Qi National Teacher and He Yiqun, not because they lack understanding, but because they, as the indigenous residents of the Great Qi Dynasty, it is almost impossible for them to have too many ideas to question authority and rebel against the rules.

"Maybe it's because of this that Mr. He has mastered the first two styles of the Seven Styles of Burning Sky so far!" Gu Xu guessed in his heart.

…………

Longmen Academy is located in the suburbs of Luojing City, close to the Luohe River, surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery.

Its layout is exquisite, it is a large quadrangle building complex, which is arranged in turn along the central axis, all of which are white walls and gray tiles, which is quite elegant and indifferent.

In different buildings, there are different teaching methods for students to preach and solve their doubts.

In the cool breeze, you can hear the teachers' loud talks, the students' impassioned arguments, the sonorous sound of swords colliding, and the cheers of victory after the competition......

The sounds are mixed together, but they don't seem noisy and harsh.

Instead, it is like the various parts of a symphony, fused together with a specific beat, forming a melody unique to the daily life of Longmen Academy.

At this moment, in an inconspicuous side room of the academy, a man in his thirties and forties, dressed in a blue-gray robe, was sitting at his desk, flipping through an old book and scribbling on a white piece of paper with a brush.

He had a fair face, a high nose, and thick eyebrows.

The appearance is beautiful.

It's just that he looks a little haggard, as if he hasn't slept well for several days, and has very clear dark circles under his eyes.

On top of that, he sat in an awkward posture - his back arched like a crooked shrimp, his head close to the table, his eyes almost on the book.

I saw him drawing intricate patterns on the paper while muttering in his mouth:

"'Acacia charm' is a talisman that makes people fall in love, and it needs to rely on the medium 'Acacia Seed', that is, 'Red Bean' to produce the effect, and combined with the 'Acacia Mantra' - 'Jing Bing Taiyin, Qi Bing Taiyin, you accept a grain, and you are tied to the heart.'

"The functions of 'Acacia Charm' and 'Returning Step' are relatively similar, so we must keep in mind their differences to avoid confusion. The former can make people fall in love with themselves, while the latter can make the original lover change his mind.

“……”

"The 'snake charm' is mainly used for snake protection, that is, to conjure a snake to protect itself.

"When using the 'Snake Changing Charm', you need to recite the 'Snake Transformation Mantra', which reads as follows: 'Snake Master Snake Master, rolling the ground and circling, thunder and fire, easy to see and easy to hide, enter the mountains vertically and horizontally, and collect it is stung.'

"And in the process of painting this kind of symbol, there are very strict requirements - the original words in the book are 'take a mouthful of Qi from the east, inhale it into the abdomen, flow until it reaches an inch and three minutes below the umbilicus, and then rise to the mouth, a heh on the pen, black in the circle, each for the ancestral qi'. The slightest mistake will prevent the spell from taking effect.

“……”

Since he didn't use True Yuan in the process of drawing talismans and chanting incantations, the runes he drew on paper did not possess any extraordinary attributes, and were purely his review notes.

At this moment, someone suddenly pushed the door in.

"Mo Li, how have you been preparing lately?"

The man who came was a man in his fifties.

He is tall, with gray hair, a long beard, and a gorgeous brocade robe, which looks majestic and majestic.

"It's okay," the man known as "Mo Li" looked up, "I've reviewed the talisman I mastered forty-nine times. By the end of this evening, I should be able to read it for the fiftieth time. ”

His voice sounded listless and weak, as if he had been hollowed out.

The tall and majestic man in the brocade robe is none other than the dean of Longmen Academy, Li Zheng.

Mo Li is his cousin, a Fifth Realm cultivator, and a well-known Fu cultivator.

He studied at Longmen Academy, and began to practice runes fifteen years ago, and it is said that he memorized all the rune books in the library by heart.

He once claimed that in this world, there is no talisman that he can't draw.

"In three days, it will be the day when you will compete with a few other candidates for the Talisman Technique," Dean Li continued with a serious face, "You should remember that I told you before, because the Great Qi National Master, the Luo Si Head of the Exorcism Division, and Princess Zhaoning are watching this matter from the side, so it is impossible for me to provide you with any kind of help."

"If you want to become the new 'teacher' of Longmen Academy, you must completely rely on your own strength and defeat several of your opponents in a fair competition. How sure are you about this? ”

Mo Li thought for a moment and stretched out five fingers.

"Cousin, I've asked someone to help inquire about those opponents," Mo Li continued, "Although Shen Qiu of the Jinling Shen Clan has a good talent and has received guidance from the National Teacher, he often relies on his talent and is rarely willing to learn some basic talismans in a down-to-earth area. In terms of hard power, he can't compare to me.

"Gu Xu of the Exorcism Division is very talented and in the limelight, but he is too young, and it seems that he has only been cultivating for a year now. After all, this kind of thing is to accumulate experience in making mistakes. How could he use what he had learned in one year to challenge our efforts over the past decade?

"The only opponent I am afraid of now is Zhao Xinran, who is a loose cultivator."

Dean Li was silent for a moment, and then said solemnly: "I think you still have to be a little cautious about that young man named Gu Xu. He is a person personally recommended by the national teacher, and there must be merit. ”

Mo Li responded in a soft voice: "Then I have to prove that the national teacher will also have a time to look away." ”
