Chapter 11: Ancient Talismans
"This is a rune, and it's an ancient rune!!" Returning to his residence, Wang Guanlan retreated left and right, carefully observing the gray cloth used to wrap the large pile of pills.
It soon became clear to him that this was not a piece of cloth, it was a piece of animal skin.
An old animal skin, I don't know how many years it has existed, on this animal skin, there are many runes, and now Wang Guanlan can no longer see whether this rune is painted by a human or born.
You must know that many ancient alien beasts and demon beasts will have innate runes on their bodies, and these runes are often directly related to their innate supernatural powers.
Since returning from the Fog Hidden Canyon, Wang Guanlan has been studying the "Wenfu Notes on the Study of Runes" given to him by the mysterious woman in scarlet, although it is only a notebook, but in Wang Guanlan's view, it is almost equivalent to the inheritance of a warlock, this rune note, from shallow to deep, records how the owner of the note from a first-order warlock, began to learn the way of runes and grew to a fourth-order warlock.
Yes, it was only up to the fourth-order warlock, maybe the final achievement of this warlock named Wenfu was not more than a fourth-order warlock, but this is not a thick book, and it is only up to the fourth order, even so, it has benefited him a lot.
Because this notebook was started by an ordinary person who didn't know anything and just had the potential of a warlock, the starting point was the same as Wang Guanlan, which was a blank, Wang Guanlan witnessed him step by step from this notebook from an ordinary person, the process of growing into a talisman, the whole note is like a famous teacher, with him, step by step in-depth study of rune knowledge, nearly a year, Wang Guanlan is no longer the rookie who didn't know anything about warlocks and runes at the beginning.
The so-called talisman, in ancient times, was not called a talisman, but called a heavenly trace, that is, the meaning of the trace of the heavenly way.
Among the oldest Taoist books, there is one called "Vientiane Heavenly Scar Sutra", which records the way of heavenly scars, that is, the origin of the way of runes, of course, this Taoist book has disappeared for countless years, and only exists in the world as a legend.
But this way of runes, after all, has been handed down, and over time, countless schools have evolved, and the means are even more varied, such as Wang Guanlan, Yiyi The book "Wenfu Xi Fu Notes" in his hand belongs to a famous school of runes, Tianshan Crane Dance.
God knows if there are cranes on the Tianshan Mountain, but this genre was handed down thousands of years ago, so it was called this name, and this genre was divided into several other genres, and this Wenfu is a branch of the Tianshan Crane Dance Stream.
There are many branches of schools like this in the world, and the usage of various runes is also different, but there is one thing that is recognized by the world, that is, there is a clear difference between ancient and modern runes.
The so-called folding ancient talisman refers to the rune drawn 36,000 years from now on, which is called the ancient talisman.
Runes within 36,000 years are called present runes.
Why 36,000 years?
Because 36,000 years ago, between heaven and earth, there was a catastrophe, known as the catastrophe of the end of the law, when the catastrophe, heaven and earth wept together, said that the moon has no light, this side of the world, is also split after that catastrophe, similarly, the primeval pentateuch is also since the catastrophe, falling apart, only the legend exists in the world.
Like the Ancient Five Classics, the ancient talisman has gradually weakened since the catastrophe of the end of the law.
Ancient talismans are also mentioned in the "Notes on the Study of Wenfu", indicating that each talisman is powerful and mysterious, but it is not applicable, which is explained very clearly in the notes.
Compared with the present rune, the meaning expressed by the ancient rune is more complete, and it is closer to the avenue than the current rune, because the ancient rune is from the "Vientiane Heavenly Trace Sutra", each rune represents a trace of the operation of heaven and earth, but it is precisely because of this that the ancient rune will gradually disappear, or even disappear. Gain, since the catastrophe of the end of the law, the vitality of heaven and earth has dissipated, and there is a great difference from the ancient times, and it is no longer the appearance of the ancient times, the real avenue of heaven and earth has long been dissolved, or hidden in the fog, even if you understand the ancient runes, if you want to drive, the power required is several times that of the primeval period, and even if it is driven, it is difficult to achieve the effect of the ancient times, therefore, the ancient runes are gradually replaced by the present runes.
The so-called talisman, in fact, is derived from the ancient talisman, is a kind of improvement of the ancient talisman after the end of the law of the cultivators, the present talisman and the ancient talisman is different, more suitable for the world after the catastrophe of the end of the law, so it quickly spread, and successfully replaced the status of the ancient talisman, after tens of thousands of years of circulation, the formation of today's rune system.
The meaning of each rune expressed by this rune is much simpler than that of the ancient rune, if it is said that each ancient rune is a complete program, then the present rune is a sentence in the program, and the present rune was originally disassembled from the ancient rune, and then recombined, in order to meet the requirements of the heaven and earth vitality and the origin of heaven and earth after the catastrophe of the end of the law.
And the ancient runes, in today's world, seem to be programs that are not compatible with the operation system, or can be operated by some means, but there will be such and such problems in the process of operation, and even cause the extreme situation of the collapse of the operation system, which is also the reason for the demise of the ancient runes.
Of course, this is not to say that the ancient talisman is useless, among the talismans, the ancient talismans are still very precious, and each ancient talisman is a living teaching material, interpreting the mystery of the traces of heaven to these talismans who have devoted their lives to the way of runes.
It's just that the number of talismans is scarce after all, so after tens of thousands of years of circulation, this ancient talisman has gradually been lost, and being able to find one or two is a priceless treasure for talismans.
Like Wang Guanlan, a half-toned Fu Mage and Array Mage, it is the second time in his life to see the ancient rune, the first time is in the Red Fire Flame Dragon Banner of the woman in scarlet clothes, and the main rune of the Red Fire Flame Dragon Banner of the lower grade Dao weapon is an ancient rune, and it is also the core rune that constitutes the internal magic circle of the Dao weapon, and it is from that rune that Wang Guanlan's understanding of the fireball technique is beyond the scope that a beginner should understand.
It was also through that rune that he felt the breath of the ancient rune, and he became very sensitive to the ancient rune, and now, the rune on the "gray cloth" in his hand was exuding the same aura as the rune of the Red Fire Flame Dragon Banner in his spiritual sense.
There is no doubt that this is an ancient talisman.
There are not many ancient talismans on the gray cloth, only three, if it is placed in normal times, get three ancient talismans, which is enough to surprise Wang Guanlan, but now, he is only annoyed, because this "gray cloth" is not complete, it was obviously cut with a knife, as for who cut it, the most likely surname is his cheap uncle, because the cut is very new, it was cut out in recent days, obviously this "gray cloth" turned out to be very large, but there are not many things that need to be wrapped, so he used a knife to cut this gray cloth, this is simply a tyrannical thing!!
Wang Guanlan's biggest thought now was to go back to Yicheng immediately, grab his uncle's collar, and ask him to hand over the remaining gray cloth quickly.
However, this is not realistic right now.
It takes a long time to study the ancient talisman, and the problem he is facing now is imminent, although he has already had a countermeasure, but the identity of the green spirit is too sensitive, and a big man will suddenly emerge if he can't keep it, and the real figure who stands at the top of the young man in today's martial arts will give him a moment, he can't bear it.
In fact, he knows very well in his heart that although he is already confident and fully prepared, in the final analysis, his foundation is still very thin.
Wang Guanlan understands his current situation very well, and knows that there are many people waiting to see his jokes now, these people may not all have an enmity with him, how old he is, and it is not enough that the enemy family is all over the world, except for those young people who came to him to make trouble, most people came to see it with a malicious mentality of watching the excitement.
The so-called I watched him rise up Zhu Lou, watched him feast on guests, and saw his building collapse!
Most people in the world have such a mentality, and they are beautiful and lively.
Although he, Wang Guanlan, doesn't like to be watched like this, there is nothing he can do.
"I'm not afraid of them!" Wang Guanlan put away the gray cloth and said softly to himself, "At least I'm not afraid of most of them!"
He is indeed not afraid, and there is a reason not to be afraid!
It seems that everyone has forgotten one thing, he is not only a martial artist of the third level of qi refining, but at the same time, he is also a warlock and a formation mage.
No matter who comes to challenge him, he can confidently say, "Come and challenge me, okay, no problem, break my formation first!!"
Accepting the challenge of these young heroes as a formation mage, no one can find fault, and how many of the so-called young heroes in this world have really seen the formation?
Most of the supporters of Qingling are martial artists, for martial artists, especially young martial artists, the formation of the formation mage is a particularly mysterious thing, and those who really have the courage to face it, except for some guys who are overly enthusiastic, are guys who have extreme confidence in their own strength, just like the mentality of most people in the world, watching these self-righteous guys plant their heads is also one of his hobbies.
I'm afraid that I will really meet those masters who are against the sky, the legendary people who have the luck of the protagonist's template, who have countless adventures at a young age, and who can trample those legendary villains to death with a single lift, such a guy is what he Wang Guanlan is afraid of.
The most troublesome thing is that such people are not for nothing!
The world walking in several holy places are such characters, of course, as the world walking in the holy land of martial arts, there are not many people who will put down the shelf to challenge, and there are a few people who don't even have the qualifications and reasons, for example, this generation of the world walk in the big Leiyin Temple, the monk of Hongshan, this guy is a six-root pure monk, of course, he will not compete with him and be jealous, and the world of Cang Ming Guan, inheriting the mysterious style of Cang Ming Temple, except for a limited number of people, no one knows whether this world walking really exists, and naturally will not appear in front of the public for this matter。
What about these two?
Among the four holy lands of martial arts, there is only one Shensha Valley left, but the world walking of the generation of Shensha Valley has not yet been born, and it will not be mixed with his entanglement with Qingling.
In this way, the world of the four holy lands of martial arts can be ruled out, but what about the four holy lands? Is there really no one? Of course it is impossible, there are still many people who can pose a threat to him, and there are more than 100 people on the abyss list and the abyss waiting list, all of which can pose a threat to him.
