Section 34 Drawing

"Runes are also called spirit texts, and the extraordinary powerhouses of those countries in the west of the Great Snow Mountain like to call them demon texts, and the demon clan is called the talent demon pattern.

This is actually related to the origin of runes, in the more ancient times, human beings were far less powerful than they are now, and the spiritual power abundant between heaven and earth gave birth to a large number of creatures with extremely strong power, and we humans also gave birth to such individuals.

The common denominator between these individuals is that they are born with an innate spirit pattern, which we humans also call birthmarks. Knowing that there are still many children with birthmarks due to the weight of human newborns, not all birthmarks have power, only those special patterned birthmarks that conform to certain world laws will have power because they resonate with the laws of the world.

Often we call this kind of power obtained by birthmarks innate supernatural powers.

The number of descendants of the same bloodline awakening supernatural powers is higher than that of the bloodlines without innate supernatural powers, but the awakening of the same natural supernatural powers is relatively small, especially those with extraordinarily powerful natural powers, often several generations or more than ten generations will awaken a descendant of the same supernatural powers.

At this stage, the Terrans have not yet realized the commonality of runes, and are still immersed in the persistence of cultivating bloodline supernatural powers, and the Terrans of that period are led by families with strong bloodline talents, and have established large and small tribes, competing with other races, monsters, spirits, and ghosts for the resources of survival in this world.

Until now, 3,700 years ago, the human race appeared the first to realize that the innate spirit pattern can actually be used, the name of that power I can't call out of respect, but if you have the opportunity, you can go to the ancestral source holy land to worship, where her life and biography are engraved, as for the tomb has not been found so far. We call that Lord the Holy Ancestor.

In our eastern country of the Great Snow Mountain, it is also called Fu Zu.

Master Fu Zu herself has natural supernatural powers, so she has a lot of friends who are also supernatural powers, and her greatest contribution is to discover similar patterns in the natural spirit pattern, and find the laws implied in the composition of the patterns, and deduce that these patterns are actually in line with the laws of heaven in the dark, and can communicate with the law power of this world to stimulate natural divine power.

These innate powers are the various spells we use today.

Through the help of her friends and defeating the supernatural powerhouses of various races, she obtained the innate spirit patterns on their bodies, speculated on them, verified them, and conducted countless experiments, and finally created the original twelve basic runes. ”

Zhou Shoumo talked eloquently, he had obviously talked about this paragraph many times in the lecture, and he didn't need to change his breath in one breath.

Then Zhou Shoumo turned out a bound piece of paper on the wooden board, on which twelve characters were written.

"The first twelve basic runes are: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, earthquake, rush, and inheritance."

Li Yuntao saw that these twelve runes were somewhat similar to the Donghuang characters he studied, but most of them had different directions, but the pronunciation was the same.

"Each word is just a simple embodiment of the power of the law, which can mobilize the most basic spiritual power of heaven and earth to use." As he spoke, Zhou Shoumo wrote with his fingers in the air, and the spiritual power of the blue light stayed in the air like ink, and when a fire character was formed, Zhou Shoumo withdrew his finger, and the fire word turned from a blue character to crimson, and soon a flame ignited.

A most ordinary flame cluster floated silently in the air and burned slowly, until the shimmering crimson fire in the flame cluster disappeared, and the fire ball gradually extinguished.

"In the beginning, if you want to use the power of these runes, you must use the skin, scales, and bones of advanced demon beasts or aliens as carriers, use their blood as ink, and then supplement them with spiritual power stimulation in your own body.

Of course, each rune cannot be used alone, it must be combined and matched through a certain combination, which involves a particularly profound and mysterious knowledge, which can be described as the creation of heaven and earth, and the root of the power of the supreme law of heaven and earth. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that even if Fu Zu is a powerful person with strong abilities and a long lifespan, he still falls early when he is not more than 100 years old.

Fu Zu only copied the power of most ordinary supernatural powers through the combination of runes throughout his life, and how to combine runes to restore their composition still needs to be studied by our descendants.

Although the initial runes had a variety of strict requirements for use, the Terran race had a large number of strong people who could still use divine power even if they did not have natural supernatural powers, which instantly broke the strength comparison between the various races in the world at that time, and earned a large living space for our human race today.

Of course, this also involves another or several great powers of the human race, without them, no one among the human race can use the talisman except for the talented and powerful, and the importance of the talisman itself cannot be highlighted. I think you should have thought of something, yes, they created the cultivation system.

These great powers were the most outstanding geniuses in the entire human race at that time, and they were also the most powerful supernatural powerhouses, and coincidentally, they were also good friends of Fu Zu.

The strong man who was born in the East is also called the Holy Ancestor, and in order to distinguish it from the Fu Ancestor, he is also called the Dao Ancestor. Of the two strong men who came from the Western realm, one of them was revered as the God of Law, and the other was called the God King because he later established his own sect power, and now most of his followers call him Heavenly Father. ”

Damn?! Heavenly Father, this old boy is really a real person, I originally thought it was just a made-up spiritual belief. Li Yuntao was stunned in his heart.

"With the cultivation system and the talisman, the Terran has risen since then, and after 1,700 years of conquest and killing of foreign races, and several civil wars of the Terran dynasty, there is the current world pattern."

"Speaking of which, I have to mention, don't underestimate the demon clan, in fact, when the cultivation system was established in the wild history records, in addition to the three strong men of the human race, there was also a demon emperor and an elf powerhouse involved, and now in the core territory of the demon race, there is indeed a cultivation system.

So don't think of the demon race too simply, it is also an intelligent creature, no one is born to want to be eaten, the transformation of the demon race, it's just not as drastic and thorough as our human race. This is also related to the status of the demon clan in history and the contradictions within them.

First of all, in history, the strong demon tribe has been pressing our human race, and can only let those powerful demon tribes take what they want, and after a long time, they naturally arrogantly form the inertial thinking that the human race is weak and can be bullied.

Secondly, the demon race is just a general name, and the human race at that time can only be regarded as one of the stronger of the many races, until the rise of the human race later, it was independently listed as a large race, and the demon race is collectively referred to as other beast races. The demon race is actually composed of hundreds of demon beast races, large and small, with internal contradictions and chaos, far from the unity of our human race, which gives our human race the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Over the years, the Demon Emperor's Great Emperor has gradually established a mature ruling class, and the Demon Clan's overall war potential has been unified.

In short, don't underestimate the demon clan. ”

Through Zhou Shoumo's narration, a vast map of the world slowly unfolded in Li Yuntao's mind. In the southernmost part of the vast land, the snow-capped mountains of the plateau are entrenched in three huge demon empires, ruling over hundreds of demon beast communities, large and small, occupying nearly two-fifths of the land.

"What about the elven powerhouse?" Li Yuntao asked.

"Elf powerhouse, born in the forest spirit clan, they call themselves Sylph forest spirit, the forest spirit clan has many supernatural powers, it can be said that the bloodline supernatural power has developed to the extreme, under the power of countless supernatural powers, they have established a brilliant civilization, which also makes the forest spirit clan gradually produce superior to other races in the world, high arrogance.

They are not overly greedy for the land beyond the forest, and are the most peaceful of the world's powerful races.

Located at the foot of the Daxue Mountain, the Rotherland Emerald Sanctuary, which has been irrigated by the snow water of the Daxue Mountain for many years, was the land with the largest area, the richest forest resources and the most favorable living conditions in the world.

The forest spirits are content to live in the Emerald Sanctuary, as long as our clan and the demon clan do not intrude, they will not take the initiative to step out of the forest.

However, some adult forest elves will travel during the coming-of-age ceremony, so hundreds of years ago, you could see rangers belonging to the forest spirit clan in cities or tribes of any race.

They never worry that the clansmen who go out will encounter accidents, because the extremely strong group of supernatural powerhouses back then is their backing, once a clansman is killed by some foreign powerhouses outside, the revenge ushered in is also extremely bloody and shocking, and the village is slaughtered at every turn.

However, hundreds of years ago, the Emerald Sanctuary Rotherland underwent great changes, and a large area of woodland turned into the current Rotherland Desert, and the supernatural powerhouses of the Forest Spirit Clan and the powerful Forest Spirit Empire they established disappeared with the forest for some reason, and we have not been able to find out the reason for this so far. ”

"It stands to reason that even if they encounter all kinds of natural disasters or alien invasions, with a large number of supernatural powerhouses as their backing, how can the forest spirit clan have a counterattack and resistance, and then no longer help to migrate, but they just disappeared, together with the Rotherland Forest, which was once the most extensive on this continent."

"I think this is probably inextricably linked to the demon invasion that you and Senior Brother Song discovered."

"Okay, a bit of a digression, let's move on to runes. After more than 3,000 years of development, the runes have been developed and optimized from the original twelve basic runes, and now they have been derived into twenty-four basic runes, and hundreds of ways to use permutations and combinations have been developed.

And the carrier for making spirit runes has also developed from the extremely rare and powerful alien skin, scales, and bones at the beginning, to the form of rune paper bearing today. Although the power has decreased, the threshold for use has been greatly reduced, the number of crafts has increased dramatically, and countless sages with outstanding wisdom have emerged among our younger generations, who have blazed a new trail in the ink of writing runes.

Spirit ink, the development of dozens of matching schemes according to the needs of the derived, according to the spirit rune combination of the spell to use the corresponding attributes of the spirit ink writing, the final spirit rune issued by the strength of the spell, not weaker than the original spirit rune, if the use of the spirit ink is precious and strong enough, as long as the rune paper can bear, the power of the rune is even higher than the skin, scales, bones.

Of course, if you write runes on these more precious alien skins, scales, and bones to make spirit runes, the power will be correspondingly greater. It's just that there is rune paper available now, so there's no need for that.

Moreover, taking skin, bones, and scales from alien corpses is not only too cruel, but also attracts great hatred and bloody revenge, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Of course, there are still many people among the Terran cultivators today who still use this method, and those who usually do so are called demonic or evil path cultivators. Because... They don't spare even the skin and bones of the Terrans.

How would you feel when you heard that your friend or relative had been killed, and when you rushed to see him for the last time, you found that even his skin and bones had been dug up?

Everyone should be punished for such behavior. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Shoumo's words revealed a hint of chill.

"The swordsman has two edges, one edge to resist the enemy, one edge to deny himself, upright and upright, and guard my heart, which is the way of the sword." He took out a sword finger in his right hand and stood on his chest and bowed his head.

"The swordsman has two blades, one blade to resist the enemy, and the other blade to deny himself." The other children stood up one after another, pinched out their sword fingers and saluted, even Yin Hongsu was no exception.

Li Yuntao did the same thing and followed it all over again.

"The runes are broad and profound, and the runes we use in the Edgeworth Gate are designed to be used in close combat with people, so we take the path of practicality, streamlining, and low consumption. But it's not that because of this, there is less knowledge to learn, we still have to know the most basic knowledge, otherwise the use of spirit runes will be exhausted, and we will not be able to draw how to replenish on the spot. Spirit runes are not like elixirs, and they consume a lot of money in battle, so the disciples of the Imperial Sword Sect must learn to draw the most basic and commonly used ones by themselves. ”

"And these most commonly used runes involve almost all departments, so the basic twenty-four runes must be proficient in all, and then according to their own needs, record and learn the matching and combination formulas of the corresponding runes.

Generally speaking, all runes are divided into five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and there are three systems: thunder, light, and earthquake.

The most commonly used technique in the gold system is the sharp technique, which improves the cutting and destructive ability of the sword; The Golden Solid Technique, which enhances the strength and sturdiness of swords and armor.

The most commonly used technique is resuscitation, which treats injuries in small quantities and is most effective for less severe skin injuries; Rejuvenation is a technique that continuously heals injuries and speeds up physical recovery, which is extremely useful in combat, and can greatly enhance our durability when fighting enemies, and you will love it when facing multiple enemies.

The most commonly used water system is pure water technique, and if you drink unclean water in the wild, even a strong foundation builder will get sick, which will reduce your combat power, which is very dangerous. In some harsh natural environments, where there is no way to get clean drinking water, this spell is the best solution. For example, Li Yuntao had been to the desert before, if the drinking water was exhausted and there was no oasis to replenish, a pure water talisman could draw a clean ball of pure water from the aura of heaven and earth that could be directly drunk.

Water charm, drive the surrounding environment of water, generally used the most when crossing the river, of course, there are many things that can be done by the water charm, there is a predecessor of the sword gate was once forced to the cliff Jedi by the demon clan, he used the water control to control the water purification charm born of the water purification charm made a rope, escape from the cliff. And in a close to a volcano or in an extremely hot environment, you can also use the water charm to make a barrier to cool yourself, but be careful of the steam generated by the water when it meets the heat, accidentally burn yourself, and be laughed at, don't blame me for not reminding you.

Of course, there are also predecessors who have used water resistance to make traps to entangle the enemy, which is somewhat similar to the application of the wood-based winding charm, but the effect is not so good, and there is no paralyzing toxin attached to the plant thorns summoned by the winding charm, but the production of the winding charm is relatively cumbersome to resist the water charm, and the water resistance is used well enough, and it can also be slightly replaced in a certain effect.

Fire, this is one of the favorite talismans of our Edgeworth, I don't think I need to explain it, you all know, and the fire sword talisman can attach flames to the spirit sword, most demons have the weakness of fear of fire, and it is especially useful when dealing with enemies such as filthy ghosts and wood spirits.

Earth system,The original earth rune was later split into two runes of earth and rock,Direct use of the ground rune can get a large consumption but the effect is also very easy to use,The land rune is used to pass through the wall or escape from the ground is very convenient,It can almost ignore any obstacles that exist in the ground attributes。 The disadvantage is that the consumption is large, the duration is short, remember to use the escape charm, the escape time is only ten breaths (thirty seconds), if you don't pinch the time to get stuck in the earth, then I will scold yourself at your funeral for playing yourself to death fool.

Using earth alone, or rock runes to make earth runes or rock runes, can also have the effect of earth runes for different structures of terrain, the cost is one-third smaller than the land runes, the duration is doubled, twenty breaths are enough for us to do a lot of things, and it will not be so easy to suffocate ourselves.

The shield talisman can be said to be the favorite of all close combat cultivators, and even some loose cultivators who can launch talismans on the rivers and lakes are also very fond of it, and will buy it with a lot of money. I don't think I need to say much about the role of the shield charm.

The rune of the thunder system, the thunder run, can release a thunder to attack the opponent, with a weak paralyzing effect, you can also use the spirit sword attached to the thunder, the effect is similar to the fire sword rune, the effect is particularly prominent when targeting some of the demons who are afraid of thunder, and the thunder released by the thunder rune is extremely fast, the opponent is almost impossible to dodge, and the attached paralysis effect can also bring more favorable conditions for the follow-up attack, although the damage caused is similar to the fireball technique, but the rune effect as the first attack is outstanding.

The Thunder Talisman consumes a lot of money, can deter the soul, and can be used to restrain spells that confuse the mind.

Light, Illuminator: Consumes a lot and lasts for a long time, and is much stronger than a torch in some environments such as tombs, dungeons, and caves with poor lighting conditions, at least it won't occupy a hand that you might use to fight.

Flare Talisman: Instantly emits a strong light, making the opponent temporarily lose the ability to see, and it is a tactical spell that can turn the tide of the battle when fighting.

Shock, Shock Charm: Shocking the opponent, a strong shock will cause the opponent to fall into confusion, headache, nausea or even more severe coma, which is also a tactical spell.

Detonation Charm: Sends out an extremely strong vibration to impact the target, which can destroy some fragile obstacles, and can also crack the steel with high hardness, and even has a miraculous effect on some monsters that mainly rely on hearing to screen and capture the target.

These are the spirit talismans that our Edgeworth disciples must master and often use, in addition to this, there are also some disciples who like to draw wind talismans to make their bodies lighter, and they can even glide in the air for a short time with a cloak.

Wind Blade Talisman: Attaches wind mana to the spirit sword, which can speed up the swing of the sword, and at the same time, wielding the spirit sword has a certain chance to send out a wind blade to attack enemies at close range.

The use of the runes of the wind system is low, and the effect is also good, which is a very practical rune, but it is difficult to draw a few spirit runes that are relatively commonly used and necessary, so I recommend waiting for your talisman attainments to reach a certain level before learning. After saying a lot of talisman knowledge in one breath, Zhou Shoumo came to an end. It seemed that there was something unfinished, so he opened his mouth and added:

"After all the basic spirit rune drawing methods are learned, you can choose a department to refine, learn to make more powerful or more useful runes, everyone's energy is limited, my Yujian Sect is different from other sects, and it is on the front line of the battle with demons and monsters all year round, and there is not much time left for you to study deeply."

"Okay, today's homework is to draw a fire rune, first use the sandbox to practice, whoever draws the fire rune is successfully lit, who will be considered to have completed today's schoolwork. After everyone has finished writing the fire rune, I will teach the method of blending fire-based spirit ink. ”

"Yes." The seven senior brothers clasped their fists together and saluted, then returned to their places, picked up the bamboo branch next to the sandbox, and began to practice drawing fire characters in the sandbox.

After the assignment was placed, Zhou Shoumo paced close to the desk where Li Yuntao was, dragging a wooden box that looked quite old in his hand, and the bamboo branch sandwiched between his thumbs had faded and turned yellow and brown.

"Li Yuntao, you just arrived yesterday, and the sandbox prepared for you hasn't been done yet, I'll hand it over to you in the next class, so let's use the old things I used today."

"Huh? It's better to use mine, mine is a little newer. Yin Hongsu didn't know when he also took the sandbox and bamboo branches, and handed his share to Li Yuntao as he spoke.

Yin Hongsu's sandbox and bamboo branches are indeed much newer than Zhou Shoumo's, and the bamboo branches are still emerald green.

"You better take care of your own practice first, I remember that you haven't learned all the basic eighteen spirit rune drawings. Just take this opportunity to practice well, even if it is a little bit advanced, and learn one more spirit rune drawing. Zhou Shoumo glared at this little junior 'brother' angrily. You must know that you are already an elder cultivator, and now you have been appointed as the teacher of Li Yuntao's outing, since you are already a teacher, you need to set an example. ”

Yin Hongsu stuck out his tongue, returned to his seat in a gray manner, and began to straighten his waist and pretend to draw a spirit rune in the sandbox.

Li Yuntao took the sandbox given by Zhou Shoumo and the bamboo branch used as a spirit pen, and saluted respectfully.

"You're learning to draw runes for the first time, and I'll tell you the details." Zhou Shoumo stood beside Li Yuntao and began to teach him how to draw runes.

Drawing runes is not as simple as it seems, just learn the graphics to be completed, drawing runes must first have their own aura, not only that, but also the qi veins must have been opened through the meridians of the limbs, and have reached the cultivation of starting to try to impact the meridians of the five senses. At the very least, you must first reach the high level of the Spirit Sea Realm, or even the peak, before you can initially have the necessary conditions for learning the knowledge of drawing talismans.

Drive the aura into the bamboo branch, because the bamboo branch is an extraordinary material intercepted from Jing Xing's demon clan partner Lingzhu, so it has the same or even better conductivity of the aura as the human body, so it can help the cultivators who are unable to release the aura at the beginning of the qi training to write runes.

Writing runes is not to take your time without making mistakes, a rune is formed, theoretically it must be drawn within the time of two breaths, more than two breaths, the aura of the previous pen writing will be dispersed, and within two breaths, it is natural to be able to do it as fast as possible, if you can directly write all the runes required for a spirit rune within two breaths, then you can directly launch a spell to attack, at this time the practitioner is almost already a low-level spellcaster.

Of course, two breaths to write a spirit rune, you can also let it fall on the spirit paper to make a rune, complete the last step of sealing the spirit rune, you can be like a bullet to reserve in case of emergency. This has undoubtedly greatly improved the efficiency of making spirit runes.

However, it is not easy to write the runes, and it is necessary to ensure the stability of the continuous spiritual power of the pen during the drawing, and according to different requirements, use different strengths of spiritual power when drawing different runes, so that the power of the drawn runes can reach the maximum.

Maintaining a strength from beginning to end can also form a talisman, and the power will be relatively discounted. After all, this spirit rune is drawn for his own use, and no one wants to use it for himself.

Under the careful guidance of Zhou Shoumo, Li Yuntao first learned the writing of the twenty-four runes, and he must be familiar with the writing of these runes as if he had learned to use the words, so that he did not need to hesitate to put pen to paper. And then it's going to be restored.

Runes are not calligraphy, not the more beautiful the writing is about to use, even if you draw the spirit rune with flowers, the font dragon and phoenix dance, and it is still a waste talisman to cross into the aura.

Restoration, to achieve the closest to the natural spirit pattern of the walking pattern, is the most extreme pursuit of writing runes, but the runes have a sense of beauty that fits the laws of heaven and earth, and the runes themselves are very beautiful to achieve complete restoration.

After Li Yuntao was fully hands-on, Zhou Shoumo left his seat and went to inspect the other senior brothers. There was no other murmur in the Shouxin Hall, and everyone was immersed in the practice of writing runes, and the sound of bamboo branches rubbing against the sand became a rustling sound.

Time passes imperceptibly in the practice, the newly learned twenty-four runes have brought a new challenge to Li Yuntao, although the twenty-four runes have been memorized in his mind, there will always be slight discrepancies when writing, for the practice of controlling the pen by hand, Li Yuntao feels that he still needs to learn to work hard.

Call~

A burning sound shattered the silence in the Shouxin Hall.

"Master, it's burning, I'm done~" An excited female voice sounded, but it was the girl who was older than the second senior brother Huang Xuemei but came late.

The fire burned silently in the sandbox, which lasted less than two breaths before dissipating in a hurry, leaving no scorch marks on the sand in the wooden box. But she did succeed first, because everyone saw the orange fire.
