Chapter 012: Test Fire Talisman
"What's going on with the Star Array?" After making trouble for a long time, Qi Lan didn't understand, so he asked the little fat man.
The little fat man pointed to the leaves on the pond and said, "The secret lies in these leaves." ”
"Don't you see there's anyone on the other side?"
Qi Lan looked over, the pond was very wide, and there were indeed only a few people standing on the opposite side, unlike the many people gathered here.
"As long as you can get to the other side, you can pass the customs. ”
"It's that simple?"
Wouldn't it be enough to go around?Qi Lantian really thought.
"It's not simple at all, the way of the past requires stepping on these leaves. Don't underestimate these leaves, an adult won't sink if he stands on them. ”
"And you must follow the movement of the leaves, where the leaves float, you will go, just float and float, and if you are lucky, you will float to the other side in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow. ”
Qi Lan said: "I died of hunger that morning. ”
"So no one went down, everyone was watching. The little fat man grabbed him and said with a grin.
"Oh, I see, it's capturing the movement of the leaves. ”
"A little bit is thorough. The little fat man said with his hands in his hands, looking unfathomable.
"Then have you found a pattern?" Qi Lan asked casually.
The little fat man immediately wilted down, and said in a snort, "Just ...... Almost. ”
"How much is the handicap?" Qi Lan didn't give up and continued to ask.
"That's it...... A little bit. The little fat man was happy again.
Qi Lan quickly joined the army of observers, and after a while, everyone became excited.
"Somebody went down. ”
A student stood on the shore, aimed at the right moment, and went up to a leaf above, and sure enough, as the little fat man said, the leaf did not sink at all. The man stood on the broad leaf surface, standing with his head held high, and the breeze blowing the corners of his clothes, and at first glance, he thought that he was a reclusive master.
The leaves drifted slowly, and everyone's eyes followed the leaves, and their hearts were silently counting the distance from the other side.
"It's close, it's close. ”
"It's a straight line. Someone spoke.
"Certainly not, no one has ever seen a straight line through the pond, at least two turns. "Some people think that the people on the pond have chosen the wrong leaves, and they gloat.
"That's not necessarily, just because there wasn't before doesn't mean there isn't now. Qi Lan couldn't look past it and expressed his opinion.
"Ignorance. The man pouted.
After a while, when he reached the middle of the pond, the leaf turned a corner, moved to the side, and without looking back, he saw that he was getting farther and farther away from the opposite bank. At last the people sighed and felt sorry for the man.
The student also felt that there was no fun, jumped into the pond and swam back, and gave up decisively.
Qi Lan approached the pond and leaned against a large tree, observing it carefully.
"Star array?" I can't tell the reason from the name, there are a lot of star-shaped leaves on the pond, inlaid in the blue water, but it looks like stars in the night sky, then its trajectory must be regular, otherwise it will be in vain, it is better to go up directly to try luck.
After observing all morning, I didn't find a single fart. When the sun shines on the pond, the sparkling waves make it more difficult to observe the leaves in the distance. Qi Lan yawned and decided to give up exploring the mysteries of this place for the time being, obviously it would take a lot of time to pass through the star array, and he was running out of time now.
The last of the three levels is the Tree Formation, which Qi Lan has not seen yet, and plans to go again after tomorrow.
In the afternoon, he still practiced making runes at the old lady's place, and after successfully making a few beautiful fire talismans, his interest rose, and he made dozens of them in one go, and selected the closest one to perfection, ready to make it shine in tomorrow's rune class. Seeing that he was so interested in runes, the old lady kept sighing with regret, and did not forget to hit him, saying that his fire runes were worthless, and at the same time strongly suggested that he learn the skills of the old lady.
In Qi Lan's heart, he admired the old lady's lingering spell very much, but he was unwilling to abandon the rune, it was best to learn both, but if he learned the spell, would the old lady be so patient to teach him the rune?
Soon the time came to the next day, and Teacher Zhang Xia of the rune class was going to test the fire talisman made by everyone today. In class, Qi Lan and Motai were still sitting calmly in the back row.
"Students, last time we assigned a small task, I believe you must be ready, take out the fire talisman you made, and let everyone see their results. ”
The students took out the fire talisman in the same format one by one, most of the materials were paper, and the rune patterns on it were basically similar, Motai took out a small rune paper, Qi Lan couldn't help but smile when he glanced at it.
"You also call it a fire talisman? "As I became more familiar, I became much more straightforward.
"You know, it took Master Ben two full days to complete this amazing masterpiece, and I will let you see its power, and it will be shocking and shocking to everyone. The demon was full of confidence, pinching the small piece of paper and posing in front of Qi Lan.
Qi Lan looked at the complex strokes on the paper, and was very puzzled that it took two days to draw on such a small rune paper, and the level of the magic tai's talisman making was obvious, and with the vision he had practiced for many days, he could see that there were several big mistakes at once. When the next inspection is not to say shocking, it is good to be able to successfully release sparks.
"Students, now please use the fire talismans you made one by one, don't forget that we have special rewards, come, start with you. ”
The students in the front row nervously held a piece of rune paper under everyone's attention, and for a while, as if they finally remembered what was said in the textbook, they shouted loudly "Duh!", which frightened everyone, and then saw him quickly throw the rune paper into the air.
"Scream so loudly to death. Morta covered her ears and complained.
The rune paper rolled in the air, I don't know how many times it rolled, and it fell to the ground slowly, nothing happened, and there was silence on the field.
Then a burst of laughter erupted, and Motai laughed even more with her belly in her hands.
"I'm laughing to death, it's called thunder and rain, hahaha......"
Qi Lan thought, I don't know what to do when it's your turn next time.
The child's face was hot from everyone's laughter, and he was uneasy, hesitating to go down to pick up the talisman paper, but Teacher Zhang Xia picked it up for him and threw it into the air.
"Duh. ”
Same action, different sound.
The rune seemed to come to life, and quickly wrapped the rune paper in the air, and the flames burned violently, but it only lasted less than two seconds, and the rune paper turned into black ash and fell.
"It's generally fine, but the energy is too low, which means that the quality of your talisman needs to be improved. What's more, you'll learn to communicate the rune with your mind and make it active. Teacher Zhang Xia commented.
The boy nodded his head and immediately returned to his seat. Then it's the next student's turn.
This student is much calmer, everything from the shot to the voice is very standardized, and the standard is as written in the book.
You can guess the result by looking at the formation, the fire talisman burned unexpectedly, and the flames continued peacefully for nearly twenty seconds, during which Teacher Zhang Xia asked him to control the fire talisman to rise to a height of two meters above his head, which was already the boy's limit height, and the fire talisman was shaky.
"In terms of the quality of the charms, it's pretty good, but the control is not enough. ”
It was the next student's turn, and the test was going on smoothly, with Zhang Xia recording the performance of their respective students, which would be an important part of the credit.
"It's not me yet, why are you so slow. Lady Mo slammed.
No student can raise the fire talisman to a height of four meters above him, and he or she will not be able to get a special reward by burning the Thoughts Line. The tallest one reaches more than three meters and is not yet stable.
If she were to be on flat ground, she would definitely be able to control the fire charm at will within ten meters, which is very good for an eight- or nine-year-old. Teacher Zhang Xia paid attention to this girl, and Qi Lan also silently wrote down the name Xu Qingzhu.
Finally, the people in front of them have tested it, and it is Qi Lan's turn to be in their row. There are only two people in this row, Qi Lan and Motai.
"You first. Motai pushed Qi Lan with his elbow, telling him to test first, wanting to stay until the last one to play.
Qi Lan stood up in no hurry, he had already prepared, for today's test, he didn't know how much rune paper rune wood was spent on practice, there were a lot of stacks, and even the rune ink cost a few bottles.
"Devil's Tree! Xu Qingzhu's eyes were sharp, and he could see the material of the talisman in Qi Lan's hand at a glance.
"What a big deal, a small fire talisman actually uses such a precious talisman wood. ”
"I have an ancient talisman at home, and the material is the most essential part of the magic paulownia wood. Someone seemed to boast.
It's more that I can't get used to Qi Lan using such a precious material to make an ordinary rune of a small fire talisman.
Listening to everyone's discussion, Qi Lan thought to himself, if I let you know how much magic paulownia wood I wasted if I didn't succeed in making it, I'm afraid you will pick me up.
But one of the advantages of practicing with precious materials is that it feels better, and the progress is rapid, from a rookie with no foundation, in just three days, under the teaching of the old lady, to the extent that he basically gets rid of his hands. In terms of making fire charms, of course.
Regardless of everyone's discussions, Qi Lan snorted lightly: "Duh." "Let go of the fire charm at the same time.
The blazing flames lit up the classroom and reflected it in everyone's eyes. Qi Lan praised in his heart, it is worthy of the magic paulownia wood, the effect is good, and the flame is more than twice as large as the ordinary fire talisman.
Teacher Zhang Xia looked at the cluster of flames dancing steadily in the air in surprise, his eyebrows stretched, and his smiling face was very beautiful under the reflection of the flames. Qi Lan suddenly heard the sound of drooling and noticed the appearance of the demon lady next to him looking at Teacher Zhang Xia in a daze with his mouth open.
"Let your fire talisman rise. Zhang Xia said.
Qi Lan hadn't tried it yet, he could easily move up to four meters away in the old lady's hut before, but that was horizontal!
The fire talisman rose slowly but steadily, and sure enough, moving upwards encountered greater resistance, and it took more mental power to control, and it quickly rose to a distance of two meters above his head, Qi Lan felt a little struggling!
Two meters five, one meter five away from the line of thought hanging on the envelope!
Qi Lan felt that it was very difficult for his spiritual power to support, but he had to overcome greater resistance to make the fire talisman rise.
Get up to me!, he cried out inwardly.
The fire talisman jumped up out of thin air, and its speed dropped suddenly, barely moving, maintaining a distance of three meters and a half above his head.
Damn! Qi Lan barely supported it, although it took mental and willpower, but sweat oozed from his forehead.
As the seconds go by, the more tired you get.
Can't I get the envelope today? No!
The fire talisman jumped up suddenly, almost touching the envelope, Qi Lan was startled, and at this time he almost reached the limit of his control, he struggled to move the fire talisman horizontally a little distance, and then gritted his teeth and let the fire talisman continue to climb, slowly, slowly......
At this height! Qi Lan couldn't help but scream "Ah!", the flames in the air moved horizontally, and in an instant, the thread of thought was burned, and the pink envelope fell down brightly!
All the eyes were focused on the envelope, only Teacher Zhang Xia noticed him, and supported Qi Lan who was about to fall with his arm, at this time he was quite tired, but he was very happy that he finally succeeded, and inadvertently swept over the magic lady, and saw a pair of jealous demon eyes, he suddenly calmed down a lot, his spirit was better, and he stood firm again.
