Volume 1 Chapter 62 The Night Before the Trial
A few days passed, and in the blink of an eye it was the eve of the trial.
At this time, Chen Muzhi was holding his breath and concentrating, and he was sitting on the desk and drawing talismans. In a delicate vial next to it, it was the second-order spirit beast essence blood that had been collected a few days ago, which had been ground into cinnabar with other materials.
There is no way to do it, Chen Muzhi rests and pinches the trick, concentrating on the pen. Count the vermilion ink on the rune paper, the pen walks the dragon and snake, and the spiritual power is injected into the rune paper little by little through the tip of the pen.
The charmer, through the momentum of the clouds, mist and stars; The figure draws the shape of the spiritual change. The runes on the rune paper also gradually became a situation, and suddenly his mind moved, and the gesture at the key rune gall was stagnant, and the spiritual power on the entire rune paper quickly dissipated, turning into ordinary paper.
Chen Muzhi pursed his lips, stopped with his hand still hanging over the pen, and exhaled softly, "It's useless again." ”
However, with his current state of mind, he is much more peaceful than before, there is such a large piece of spiritual field in the mountain, and there is enough rune paper and spiritual power, it is nothing more than a few more exercises.
Drawing symbols requires not only talent, but also patience. Even if it is a specially cultivated talisman genius, it is normal to fail in the drawing of a spirit rune hundreds of times in a row.
Only through continuous exploration and experimentation can you find the most suitable ...... for yourself Including movements, postures, the output of spiritual power, the weight of cinnabar, and even the thickness and twists of each rune on the rune paper, they are all polished one by one.
Over the years, Chen Muzhi's low-level talismans have become more and more handy, and he has become accustomed to the failure of second-order talismans. However, the essence and blood of this spirit beast are rare, and if ordinary people were distressed, they would have been unable to breathe.
The failure rate of drawing talismans is staggering, the cost of training a qualified talisman maker is too high, and the innate talent and acquired cultivation are extremely important, resulting in fewer and fewer monks in this world who can draw talismans.
Especially in the early stage of Qi cultivation, monks can only draw low-level runes, not to mention how many can be drawn, even the cost of buying rune pens and materials is more expensive than buying a bunch of spirit runes.
Just the talisman pen in Chen Muzhi's hand is enough to buy hundreds of cleaning talismans, and how many low-level monks can draw in a year?
For monks, the most important thing to practice is the few years when they are still young, if they don't practice well and draw talismans, if they are not careful, the avenue will be broken. Concentrate on cultivation, and when you are young, your young talent for drawing talismans will fade.
Therefore, it is not a genius who does not draw talismans, there is no chance for casual cultivation, and the natal talent in the sect is good, and he is unwilling to develop his disciples there. As for those with poor spiritual roots, they turned their heads and entered the outer gate, entangled in trivial matters, and there was not enough time for cultivation, let alone drawing talismans.
Chen Muzhi is also lucky, he has been cultivating in the spiritual land since he was a child, although the grade of Qingliu Mountain is low, but it has little impact on the cultivation at the beginning.
Although it was said that he was delayed for some time, but after cultivating in the high-level spiritual land for a few years, his cultivation also caught up, and the foundation of drawing talismans was also good.
Put away the cinnabar, talisman and other things, remove the prohibition outside the quiet room, and say in a loud voice: "Come in." ”
It turned out that I sensed it just now, and someone was staying outside the door.
I saw Qian Duoyi, dressed in white and still round, walking into the house.
Chen Muzhi thought to himself, can wearing black make people look thinner.
He said, "Duoyi, what's wrong?" Is there something wrong with me when it's dark? ”
Qian Duoyi hesitated a little and said, "Senior brother, am I disturbing you?" ”
"It's okay, just draw a talisman and sit."
After a few words of greeting and homework, Qian Duoyi is now officially accepted as a disciple by Mo Feng, and he doesn't have to worry about running errands as an outer disciple in the future.
"That's the case, Senior Brother, these days you have been practicing in the Formation Pavilion, I think there are some things in your formation that are not working well......" Qian Duoyi said hesitantly.
It turned out that in the past few days, Chen Muzhi ended the daily physical training arranged by Mu Qingchen. Although there was still additional practice, it turned more to the cultivation of the Dao Fa, drawing talismans, and arranging formations to prepare for the trials that followed.
It's just that the other things are okay, and the second-order summoning talisman has also been successfully drawn. is this array, which is also based on what Mo Feng said, and he also did it, that is, ...... Can't find the feeling.
Cultivating in the Formation Pavilion, most of them are monks who are interested in this, Mo Feng explained and demonstrated, and someone on the spot could copy one or two, and Qian Duoyi was the best in it. And Chen Muzhi was full of greetings, and even wondered if they had learned it once.
Qian Duoyi took out a booklet from the storage bag, and continued: "So I have written my feelings and thoughts on the formation here, senior brother, if you are interested, you can take a look." ”
Chen Muzhi took the booklet, which read "Notes on the Primary Formation", the clumsy font looked handwritten by Qian Duoyi, and when he opened it, it was full of pictures and texts. Although it is not yet possible to say that he has attained the attainment of formation, he vividly summarized Qian Duoyi's understanding of the basic formation one by one.
"I see." The text in it is simple and easy to understand, and after a brief reading of two pages, Chen Muzhi felt a little stunned.
"I can't put this Jinshi defensive array, it turns out that the deviation is here!" Chen Muzhi excitedly discussed the contents of the book with Qian Duoyi.
"Duoyi, if you teach this book to others, how many formation masters will come out."
"Senior brother, you are exaggerating, and not many people are willing to learn about the formation." In the past few years, due to the origin of mortals, miscellaneous spiritual roots, body shape, etc., Qian Duoyi has been sneered at by outsiders on the mountain, and has developed a restrained character.
Fortunately, he was guided by Chen Muzhi and Shi Yunying quickly, and although his cultivation was extremely slow, he also found the way forward for his cultivation.
A few words embarrassed to praise Qian Duoyi, Chen Muzhi turned to the back of the book and asked, "What?" There's still an unfinished formation here? Haven't seen it? ”
"I created it myself, because I was fat, so I imagined a black hole under my feet that teleported me directly to where I wanted to go."
"Isn't that a teleportation array?"
"Yes and no......"
After Qian Duoyi's introduction, Chen Muzhi learned that a large number of spirit stones were needed to build the teleportation array at the beginning. And even an ordinary teleportation array would take a few hours to build. Those permanent teleportation circles even require a whole piece of special spirit stone as a stone platform.
"I want to make the kind that doesn't require the consumption of spirit stones, can be easily built, and can go wherever you want." Speaking of imagining the future, Qian Duoyi's face glowed with red excitement.
"Hahaha, I'm optimistic about you."
The two chatted for a while, and Qian Duoyi was about to leave.
"Senior brother, you can keep the book and read it slowly, I'll go back first."
"TOEIC, thank you."
The little fat man just smiled shyly, and when he was leaving, Chen Muzhi gave him a lot of cleansing charms and summoning charms, and the last forty second-order spirit stones were also stuffed into him.
"Think of it as my grant for your research."
Chen Muzhi, who sent Qian Duoyi away and returned to the quiet room again, turned the pages of the book, and couldn't help but think about what he was doing when he was so old?
A few days ago, I took Shi Yunying and flew with a spirit bamboo flying luan in the back mountain field. Driven by spiritual power, the finger-long Feiluan instantly became larger, like a cyan giant bird, flying slowly with the two of them within the large array.
After only demonstrating once, Shi Yunying was able to flexibly control Feiluan. A few days later, the little girl will be able to fly the Feiluan, flipping and flying around in mid-air, which is simply amazing.
Shi Yunying's flying talent is superb, looking at the flexible movements of the control, Chen Muzhi couldn't help but think that if a ring is erected in the middle of the field, two teams of people can be thrown in the air to throw the ball inside.
Now Qian Duoyi also shows the talent of the formation, don't give up, everyone has their own talents, maybe they just didn't find the opportunity to show it.
I gradually remembered that the first time I flew with Edgeworth, there was a girl shouting behind me, "How are you?" ”
"I'm fine." Chen Muzhi said softly.
Sorting out my thoughts, I became more urgent for the progress of my practice.
The magic circle is different from the mountain protection array, which can be arranged anywhere, and the formation stones, array plates, array flags, formation flags and so on are required to build. There are small formations for a single person, and super large military formations for ten, hundred, thousand, or even ten thousand people.
Circles can be used not only for defense, but also for attack. According to ancient records, the Great Array of 10,000 people gathered the spiritual power of 10,000 low-level monks in one place, and it was difficult for even Yuanying monks to get close. If it is a full blow, even this mountain protection array on Fengliang Mountain can be leveled with one blow.
Not only the mountain protection array, but even some spiritual mountain spirit veins can be abolished.
It's just that now the 10,000-strong array or something has long become a legendary past.
How many monks are there on Fengliang Mountain, more than three hundred. Compared with some small sects, this is quite rich. The Blue Lotus Sect is much larger, but it is rumored that there are no more than four thousand monks.
In total, all the monks and scattered cultivators in the territory of the Blue Lotus Sect should be less than 10,000 people. What's more, even if there is, it is impossible to pour out all of them to participate in the battle in one big formation.
Qian Duoyi's "Notes on Primary Formations" records all low-level defensive formations, but there are no offensive ones.
Turning to the part of the Water Elemental Defense Array, this is the content that you learned at the beginning, and it is also the most detailed record. There are several drawings to explain, and there is even a picture showing the operation of the spiritual power of the defensive shield, due to the size of the paper, half of the drawing on one side is drawn on two sheets of paper.
Chen Muzhi smiled softly, now it's okay, just help him make it up.
There was no blank paper around, so he took out a blank rune paper, dotted it with ink with a rune pen, and copied it according to Qian Duoyi's formation diagram. Who knew that after only half of the drawing, his own spiritual power was connected from the pen shaft and fell on the rune paper along the end of the pen!
"It's!"
It's just a simple drawing, but it actually pulls spiritual power, could it be that this graphic of spiritual power is actually a rune?
Chen Muzhi stopped his pen and frowned and thought for a moment, the defensive array ...... Defense...... Is it something like an amulet? But it's not like it?
I couldn't figure it out, so I simply finished drawing and then said, ready to put the other half of the pattern together with this side, who knew that just after the pen together, there was a crisp sound of "pop" on the rune paper, and the whole rune paper was split into two halves.
He had never seen such a situation before, and Chen Muzhi frowned. I've never seen a talisman with such a pattern on a rune book, but can't the two halves of the pattern be drawn together?
After all, Chen Muzhi took out a new rune paper, held his breath, and drew again.
Fail.
Fail.
Fail.
Or failed.
……
I don't know how many pieces of rune paper have been wasted, but for such a spirit rune that I have never seen, the experimental creation is really crossing the river by feeling the stones.
It wasn't until a long time had passed that Chen Muzhi exhaled a long breath, even his breath was a little heavy, and a talisman with lingering aura finally appeared in his hand.
The runes on the rune paper, like two doors on the left and right, look like a whole, with subtle distances. The painting is drawn, but I don't know what it's for.
Chen Muzhi injected spiritual power and prepared to try it out, but the spirit rune was unmoved, and there was no sign of activating it at all.
Could it be related to the original water elemental defense circle?
Chen Muzhi took out the array plate from the storage bag, and according to what Qian Duoyi said in the book, he hit it in the open space in front of him, and the defensive cover was indeed a little more condensed.
Just this charm?
Left and right couldn't think of it, Chen Muzhi gently attached the talisman to the defensive cover and tried it.
I saw that when the talisman met the light shield of the defensive shield, it melted away like ice and snow, and the originally condensed light shield emitted a burst of sorrow, and a large round hole was opened.
Then, "bang", with a muffled sound, the first-order lower-grade water elemental defense array disintegrated.
didn't rely on external blows, just a talisman, and broke the defensive shield that relied on spiritual power, what kind of anti-heaven talisman is this!
Chen Muzhi's eyes widened in surprise, and he muttered, "Could it be that this is what is used to open the door-"
