Chapter Twenty-Nine: One Step Forward?

State office, back hall.

The soap-clothed little official bowed down and walked quickly, passing by the solemn-looking guards and officials through the yamen, and soon came to the door of the closed room.

"Master, Zhang Ru from Pingshan Academy is here."

After a pause, there was an answer in the room, sinking into the ears, as if he had not woken up after a long sleep.

The little official bowed his head respectfully and stood by, not daring to say more.

After a long time, after the stumbling dressing movement, the words full of neutrality came out of the room: "Since you are here, and you are welcome to serve in the inner hall, don't be rash." ”

"Whoa!"

The soap-clothed little man waved his orange and red long sleeves in worship, and then bowed and retreated.

Crunch –

The gatehouse was opened, and behind the simple tables and chairs, a picture of the mountains and rivers hung on the wall, and I saw an old man with yellow hair on his back, but his eyes were blazing and not cloudy, and he did not look like an old dragon clock at all.

He lifted his sleeves, walked to the stone well in the courtyard, wrung a bucket of water, dipped some in his palm, and gently kneaded his eyebrows and forehead.

The temples were stained with water, but his expression was boosted a lot, and after waking up, the old man took care of it hastily, and then stepped on the straw boots and walked out of the courtyard door to the inner hall.

……

The green light and spiritual clouds dispersed, and Chen Yu stepped down.

The formation in the courtyard is intact and running smoothly. Nowadays, there are a lot of thieves in the city, and there are many rumors circulating in the streets, and many gentlemen on the beam have been tied up and sent to the government to await trial.

Fortunately, the courtyard was inconspicuous, and there were no good people in the time he was away.

Otherwise, don't talk about money, you have to be tricked by the formation reversal.

When I came to the courtyard, a ripple appeared in the palm of my hand.

The next moment, a huge ball of light fell out of thin air, and the light blue halo constrained the heavenly thunder that had been captured from under the thunderclouds earlier.

The place where the mine was caught was not close, and I searched for various places, until I flew thousands of miles away from Los Angeles to find a suitable place, and it took some time to go back and forth.

At this moment, when I looked up again, the sky in Luocheng, Jinzhou was as clear as a mirror, with no signs of wind and rain.

The breeze is gentle and smooth, leisurely and quiet.

The noisy noise is a little far away from the courtyard, and after a layer of magic circle, it rarely enters, and this residence is surrounded by large and small courtyards, and there are many guards entering and exiting, which indirectly increases the security of the entire area.

He went to the courtyard to find a vacant space, the courtyard occupies a small area, but all kinds of organs, there should be a few pavilions and pavilions, although there is little care of the dust, but the tranquility he wants can be satisfied.

"Thunder is fast, and it is also scorching and hot, and when you touch it, your skin will open and your flesh will bloom, and your whole body will be paralyzed."

Looking at the spell in his hand, the thunder in the ball of light had already weakened a few points on the way back, but it was just right, and the pressure of such strength and blood had plummeted.

The opposite problem is that this thunder light is estimated to not last long, even if there is a prison thunder blockade, at most half a day will be dissipated.

Stretching out his hand, his index finger poked directly into the ball of light, only to hear a crackling explosion, and a piece of red appeared on his finger.

The mana, qi and blood were laid in the flesh and skin in advance, and the power of the thunder was far insufficient, so he was not beaten by the thunder as he was not long ago.

Trying to pull out a wisp of thunder, the mana collapsed, and the spilled silver thunder dissipated in the air in an instant.

“……”

Chen Yu's expression froze, and then he sighed, but he forgot about this.

Thunder is not a transcendent energy, it still blooms in the clouds in this world, and its causes are very similar to those known in the previous life, and it does not change its characteristics just because it is captured.

Mana is useless against it, but will be destroyed by penetrating the spiritual structure.

On the other hand, thunder and lightning are non-physical in nature, and it is ineffective to rely on the body to resist grasping directly.

If it weren't for the tricks he used to use magic to block the energy with the spirit text, it would be unimaginable to capture the thunder light with his physical body alone.

Now the problem he is facing is not how to use thunder and lightning as power to suppress the power of the wonder to reshape qi and blood, but how to 'take out' the thunder that can be seen, touched, and felt from the ball of light, and then 'put' it into qi and blood.

"Thunder and lightning are like flowing water, and when you soak your hands in it, you will be struck by splitting and striking, and you can have obvious contact feelings, but once you clench your palms into a fist, the water in your palms will disappear."

He pondered for a long time, either to increase the thickness of the mana in his body, or to change the 'density' of the thunder, but after thinking about it, he didn't feel that it was appropriate.

The former is of little significance, unless the essence is transformed, no matter how much mana is stacked, it will not be able to withstand a thunderbolt. The latter, on the other hand, has no clue at all.

Just think about it in your head and give up.

In the end, Chen Yu set his gaze on the spiritual text that flashed in his palm.

Since you can't grasp it with mana alone, what about after weaving it into a spiritual text? Chen Yu looked at the ball of light, the Prison Thunder Technique could be said to be a ready-made example.

It's a simple technique with a simple principle and structure, inspired by the art of soul sealing.

Later, he captured thunder one after another, and after using thunder marks to enter it, he greatly improved his adaptation and affinity to thunder and lightning, and was able to better block this force.

Later, the emergence of the node construction method made all the spiritual arts and even formations in his hands have been optimized, naturally including the Prison Thunder Technique, which has gradually evolved into what it is today, which can automatically absorb thunder and lightning, and the effectiveness of sealing has made great progress.

He changed direction and started with Lingwen, intending to focus on solving the two points of 'Heavenly Thunder Affinity' and 'Blockade'.

In this case, it seems that there is no need to reforge qi and blood alone...... Directly use the physical body as a container, and once the conditions are met, it can be smelted and reforged together with mana, spirit, and qi and blood. ”

Well, the premise is that there are so many controllable heavenly thunders, and the reserves of all its own forces, including the power of wonders, need to be enough to support the entire change process.

Whenever one item is interrupted, it will cause the collapse of all the forces in the whole body: the blood and qi will be depleted and withered, the primordial spirit will be cracked and annihilated, and the mana will overflow wildly, and there will probably not even be a chance to turn the tide for him at that time.

Chen Yu could predict that this would be the biggest and final difficulty on the road to recasting.

The risks are great, but there are also many benefits, such as saving a lot of time and avoiding step-by-step air consumption. And if you can grope for the fusion of various powers, and even if you introduce a wonder, you may be able to use the vast power of smelting and the power of the majestic wonder to turn it into an inner heaven and earth.

In short, there are many benefits, and transcendent sanctification is just around the corner.

It's just that......

After a pause, Chen Yu shook his head and chuckled, the benefits are indeed many at first glance, and they are very tempting.

But why take the risk?

If you think about it carefully, the good things that can fall in it may not be good in his opinion.

Since the first spiritual plant was planted, his cultivation path has only been open for less than two years, which is too short, and many things have not been taken into account, such as the physical body, and the various powers brewing in the body, there is still room for exploration.

said that he was looking for a way forward, but he just jumped over in such a hurry, which was not what he wanted.

Besides, this step just looks good, the heavenly thunder does have a miraculous effect, but whether it can really unite various forces remains to be discussed, and whether the combination of the power of the wonder and the thunder will be rejected must also be verified.

Not only that, in Chen Yu's view, the biggest problem with the recasting of the body is not the amount of energy, but the physical body, and the several forces that are melted itself.

"Reforging needs to be stable, just like the new primordial god in the outer heavens, the slightest movement will cause interference."

It was precisely because of this that he would divide the last trace of spiritual power that could be actively controlled around, and arrange a barrier that barely blocked the black mist.

Avoid being affected by reforges.

But as a container, he could not do anything else, and if he did so, he would inevitably be involved in the interweaving of various forces like an abyss, and he would not have the energy to even out, and he could not even care about walking, eating, and drinking.

"It's similar to the rumored retreat......

Chen Yu didn't want to do this, so he had to put away his mind first, and prepare to solve the two points just mentioned, and at the same time, the spiritual texts related to thunder and lightning should be further developed, and the rest will be talked about later.

Although I don't plan to stew in my body, the idea of being a container is really good, and the qi and blood are invisible, so you can try it on the tangible flesh and blood first.

Moreover, qi and blood are rooted in the flesh and body, if flesh and blood can really be combined with thunder, then qi and blood will inevitably change.

"But how can affinity be increased?"

He scratched his head after letting go of many distracting thoughts, Lingwen can still be deleted and added, and it is a big deal if it is not suitable, but qi and blood do not have this function, and flesh and blood cannot be reduced.

Then there's only one way to add something.

What's more? Thundermarks, of course.

"Alas, it seems that we have to follow the old path of Neiming again."

Slightly subtle, it seems to go back to square one.

Having said that, Chen Yu knew the difference between the two in his heart, whether it was the inner Qi inscription or the mana inner inscription, it was only experimental in nature, and it was not surprising that there were not many attempts, and the final effect was limited. And this time to cast the inner inscription on the flesh as the basis for a long time in the future, involving a wide range, all over the flesh and blood, and the thunder mark is different from the formation pattern and the spirit text, at least in terms of performance, it is neither corroded nor too solidified.

As soon as he said it, he began to choose a section on his right index finger, and silently, wrapped it in mana, and began to try to engrave the thunder marks.

"The point is to immerse in the dye, the flesh and blood are thick, the qi and blood are surging and powerful, if it is easy to be washed away as in the past, it is better to leave a mark on the flesh and bones first, and imperceptibly affect the blood."

He only chose a small piece, and after deliberately sealing the strength around his index finger and blocking the qi and blood, the impregnation speed increased significantly.

Even so, Chen Yu, who had just started his actions, still encountered difficulties, and the inscribed thunder marks were dissolving, but they were not absorbed by flesh and blood.

Spirituality, mana, and spirit took turns to fight, and all kinds of means came out together, and finally the dissolution of the thunder marks stopped under the effect of the flesh purification technique.

"I didn't expect this technique to be used like this."

The spell worked, the flesh and blood trembled, Chen Yu's eyes flashed and grasped the changes in a moment, he may not be able to analyze the reason why the flesh purification technique restricts the dissolution of thunder marks in a short period of time, but it is not difficult to imitate or even improve.

The speed is up again.

However, even though it was much faster than expected, it was not until the evening that a small finger was successfully inscribed, and a few inches of inspiration floated by, and it was done!

He breathed a sigh of relief and pressed his index finger down into the dim ball of light that was already dying.

Crackling!

The ball of light shattered, and the thunder light scattered countless times, turning into light and dust in an instant.

Only Chen Yu's eyes were shining, and he looked at the faint silver on his right index finger that was so weak that it was almost invisible, from light to dark, and lasted for ten breaths more than the surrounding thunder!

……

At night, the city is brightly lit.

I heard that there was a curfew in Jinzhou a few decades ago, and then it gradually relaxed for some reason, and now the lanterns are hung high on the eaves, and the red and bright yellow are intertwined, sprinkled in the city.

Jiang Qin'an and Yue Haiping walked out of the pavilion with a tired face, read a lot of books today, rummaged through the mountains of books, wandered around, and were physically and mentally exhausted.

"Senior brother, today's harvest is enough."

During this time when he came to Jinzhou, Daoist Jiang saw a trace of peace, unlike the outside world, this place was like a paradise, so his mood gradually calmed down, and he slowly returned to the original appearance of a Qing monk.

Yue Haiping, who listened to the other party's words on the side, yawned without any image, today is indeed a lot of gains, and many Taoist scriptures that have never been seen are found here.

More than a few book buildings, including the Pingshan Academy in Dongcheng, they also went in, and asked the local Haochang to borrow an identity tag and depict text symbols, so as to enter the book collection hall.

Later, they learned that Hao Chang, who had a high status in the academy, had also traveled to the ends of the world with a sword when he was young, and went to all parts of the north, south, east and west, including the southwest, Xizhou and even Guangyong, but he did not enter Shiya, and only had a faint impression of this remote county.

Seeing that the two people looked eager for knowledge, Elder Hao remembered that he had been at the beginning, so he gave the talisman and arranged for the boy to take the book to read together.

After looking through all the books in the main hall and expressing their gratitude, the two went to the next place.

In this way, I visited many homes along the way, but most of them did not look closely, and the books that I was really interested in only remembered the location and belonging, and waited for a closer look.

"It's a pity that there are still many sect families who can't go, otherwise they will definitely have more good things there, and maybe there will be unique ancient books to keep."

"Yes or no, how could those people let two idle Taoist priests enter and read the scriptures recklessly."

Jiang Qin'an's words echoed in his ears, and Yue Haiping let out a long sigh, this was a fact, and he couldn't refute it.

The two of them talked in a low voice as they walked, but not about the recent events in the city, which seemed to them to be trivial, who was stolen today, and who was blushing and thick-necked tomorrow.

The exchange of words is more about the Tao Sutra, the two Taoist priests came out of the mountain, and they already had the idea of traveling thousands of miles to view the world, and these books and Taoist scriptures that are not available in Shiya County can let them taste some of the scriptures of the side veins, and the two corroborate each other, perhaps they can make great progress in Taoist practice.

Of course, as far as Yue Haiping is concerned, he doesn't have so many reasons, he just likes to read the Taoist scriptures.

The results of the exchange between the two of them, each dissecting their own understanding and acquisition of the same scripture, or in the eyes of the true monastic, these ideas are empty, superficial, or even incorrect, but for them it is a good time to make progress.

Thus through the crowd, with sometimes fierce and high-spirited words that seemed to be arguing, the two gradually disappeared in the dim light.
