In the long years of Kunlun Continent in the past, whether it was the immortal family secret of cultivating the true qi or the secret recipe of the rune diagram of the magic method, most of them were only circulated within the sect or family, and the barriers between the portals were strict, and they were rarely spread to the outside world.

Tianxia made a huge change in this. Because there are many people who yearn for immortal immortality among the Tianxia Emperors, the whole country collects the magic scriptures, and it is also a wide range of sorcerers, and sets up many functions, such as the secret official, the curse forbidden life, the waiting teacher, the prescription medicine department, etc. Not only pray for the emperor to ward off evil spirits, refine bait, but also be responsible for investigating disasters and destroying demons and ominous.

Nowadays, the pavilion system of Huaxu State has also imitated the Tianxia Dynasty to a certain extent. And due to the urgent needs of the Great War of the Five Kingdoms, the sorcerers and monks trained by the pavilion were not simply for the favor of the king, but to participate in the cause of defending the country and even expanding the territory.

Coupled with the turmoil and chaos brought about by the War of the Five Kingdoms for nearly a hundred years, many famous sects and families also declined and withered. Hua Xu Guo seized the opportunity and used the museum system to absorb many techniques and cultivation studies, and the Chongxuan Pavilion was one of the leaders.

It is also for this reason that there is no significant barrier in the exchange of spells in the Huaxu State Pavilion.

For example, Zhao Xiao's arrow-shattering technique often issued with the Qingxuan pen originally came from a sect that was proficient in the thunder method, and the original method was to rain down thunder arrows and bombard the obscene evil temple attached by the demon. It's just that this method has high requirements for cultivation, and later after several simplifications and improvements in the Huaiying Pavilion, it became a technique that collects all kinds of color qi and condenses into arrows.

In the Huaiying Pavilion, there are monks from different backgrounds, and they are accustomed to communicating with each other.

Xin Shunying told Zhao Huang about the method of refining the Chonghui armillary sphere, and some of it came from her Zhan Hou family study. From how to look at the stars and distinguish the position, to contemplate the operation of the stars in the sky, and then connect the star qi to descend and flow injected, and condense it into the Zhou Tian meridians in the body, so that the true qi in the body can rotate, so that the stars can be sensed, and all kinds of spells can be used to use the power of the stars.

It's just that with manpower alone, if you want to attract Zhou Tian's star qi all over the world, I am afraid that it will be difficult to complete the work in your life, so the Xin family wants to refine this Chonghui armillary sphere, and the magic weapon is used in conjunction with the cultivation method.

But the problem is the same, that is, the connection to Zhou Tian's star qi depends on the natural operation of the heavenly time, and the cultivation of magic weapons is slow and time-consuming.

"Since ancient times, refining qi and storing gods in order to seek immortal immortality is all natural and I am one." Zhao Xiao remembered Ling Xiao's previous teaching: "The so-called law of heaven and earth is based on the sun, moon and stars as the sky, and the mountains, mountains, rivers, and rivers as the earth. The qi of heaven and earth intersects, becoming a scene of wind and rain, clouds, fog, thunder and lightning, turning grass, trees, birds, beasts, and living beings.

What you see when you open your eyes, what you see when you close your eyes. Serve the sun, make a fire to refine flesh and bones; Swallow the moon, reduce the jin and wash the hundred veins. Borrowing the elephant of heaven and earth, he pushed the work of creation. Yin and yang life and death are all here, and the four hours and six qi are inseparable from it. ”

Lingxiao imparts guidance, most of them are high-level, pointing directly to the mysteries. Zhao Xiao was more focused on the use of magic, and after listening to Xin Shunying's story, he asked:

"Zhou Tianxing is full of energy, although this technique is exquisite, but it is also a little difficult. As far as I know, the stars in the sky have their own domains, such as the division of the earth, and you candidates also predict the auspiciousness and evil demons by looking up at the stars of the domain. Then why do you want to refine the Heavenly Stars in one breath, instead of dividing the Sealed Domain into stars and refining them in turn? ”

Senior Sister Xin pondered for a moment: "It's like a child's family putting together a clever board?" ”

Zhao Xiao laughed when he heard this: "It's almost, but if I want to say, it's closer to the theory of scattered and condensed forms in the Fu Seal." Each piece of the puzzle board is not subordinate to each other, but the scattered form of the seal has its own charm, and it is also effective to put pen on the pen alone. Different scattered forms are aggregated, the qi and the machine are connected together, and the spell is used, and finally the charm is synthesized, and the pattern is complete. ”

"I see." Senior Sister Xin held her chin with her hand: "The star qi of different domains itself also has its own corresponding magic effect, so just focus on it first, and then slowly accumulate into a heavenly phenomenon." ”

Zhao Xiao also said: "But there is also a problem with this method, that is, the richer the armillary sphere stars, the more difficult it will be to refine and perfect in the future. For example, at first, it is just a teacup to hold water, and later it may be like picking up a rice bowl to hold water. ”

I don't know if Xin Shunying thought of the way she was holding the rice jar, she couldn't help but laugh.

"What Senior Brother Zhao said, which magic weapon is not the higher the magic use, the more difficult it is to sacrifice?"

"That's just as well."

Xin Shunying stopped laughing, came to the altar to play with the armillary sphere for a while, and finally made up her mind, and pulled out a wisp of blue light from it, which was condensed in the palm of her hand.

"Senior Brother Zhao, can you help me translate this wisp of star qi into a talisman?"

Seeing Xin Shunying speak, Zhao Xiao shook his sleeves, held a green pen, and slowly handed the pen to the dark blue light.

With a slight touch, a complex line of stars appeared in Zhao Xiao's mind, which contained a spiritual rhyme, which needed to be translated into a talisman that could be written by a person who was proficient in talismans.

Zhao Xiao condensed his energy, cut into the qi and the charm, and the Qingxuan pen in his hand was as thin as a branch, which was as heavy as a mountain at the moment, he did not hesitate, and directly pulled out a piece of black paper from his sleeve.

Where the pen falls, the silver light is like a starlight sprinkled all over the night; Twists and turns, and the magic method is followed by the next generation of the runes.

"Whew-"

The book is just a Chenjing black talisman, Zhao Xiao let out a big breath, and translated the qi and spiritual rhyme of natural objects into talisman seals, which was even more difficult than he imagined. Even if it was just the delicate star energy that Xin Shunying extracted from the armillary sphere, it was exhaustive of Zhao Xiao's thoughts.

Only then did Zhao Xiao truly realize the gap between himself and the immortals, even if the spirit flute hid in the true yuan lock and peeked at the cultivation of the white-fronted prince from the side, he could also clearly understand his qi and spiritual rhyme, so as to create the "Divine Tiger Hidden Text".

"I've done my best." Zhao Xiao handed the black talisman to Xin Shunying: "I can only distinguish a few magic effects such as sealing and masking, and the specific use depends on Senior Sister Xin's means." ”

Xin Shunying took the black talisman with some surprise and looked at it carefully for a moment: "Senior Brother Zhao, you painted it all at once?" ”

"Uh...... Or else? Zhao Xiao was stunned.

"In my impression, translating natural objects into symbols requires a long period of thought before we can refine some charm. It is necessary to try countless times before the specific pen can finally become a symbol. ”

Xin Shunying knew that Zhao Huang was the first student of Zhang Duanjing, and it was normal for him to have a preference for the teaching and guidance of techniques. But magic is not something that can be learned after being taught, nor can it be mastered by learning, and it has nothing to do with being born in a family, wealth, and power.

"Practice makes perfect." Zhao Xiao rubbed his eyebrows, he was highly focused, and at this moment, the blood vessels in his eyebrows and forehead were suddenly jumping.

Xin Shunying shook her head slightly: "Senior Brother Zhao, don't force yourself, I see that you are so calligraphy, it is too much trouble, go back to rest and recuperate first." ”

"Although the translation of the talisman has been completed, there is still a corresponding spell ......"

"We don't set off tomorrow, Senior Brother Zhao doesn't have to be impatient." Xin Shunying waved her hand.

"Okay." Zhao Xiao didn't insist, in fact, in his case, it was good to breathe a round of pranayama.

Bidding farewell to Xin Shunying and leaving the Hundred Instruments Courtyard, Zhao Xiao returned to his dormitory, took out the bag of pearls containing light, and said to Lingxiao: "I am good at drawing talismans, and the Chenjing talisman just now is written in one breath, without any hindrance." ”

"If the internal refining is successful, the use of magic will naturally improve." Ling Xiao's tone was flat: "What's more, you have passed the front desk of the palace and entered the Mingtang Palace when you practice the Nine Palaces and keep one law." The sun and moon refining method is also communicating with the Ming Hall, the sun and the moon are hanging in the Ming Hall, and the Guanghua Cave shines inside and outside, which can not only refine the shape of the body, but also open up wisdom and knowledge, and naturally appear to be erudite and strong.

If you only know how to breathe in and refine qi, even if you polish your physical body like steel, you may not be able to achieve anything on the way to the rune. It's just that if there is no refining qi and qi as the foundation, the object image qi machine is also elusive and inductive. Refining qi and storing spirit complement each other, and cannot be wasted. ”

Zhao Xiao knocked on his eyebrows: "Before you taught the Nine Palaces to keep the One Law, I knew that the Brain Palace was called the Mud Pill Palace, but I didn't expect that there would be a saying of the Nine Palaces." ”

Ling Xiao said: "Because of the nine palaces in the brain, only the mud pill palace is connected to the throat qi vein, which is most closely related to the breathing and refining qi, and the true qi rises vigorously, which will inevitably impact the mud pill palace." ”

"I know this, the rise of true qi is very dangerous, and many qi refiners need to protect the Dharma to pass this level." Zhao Xiao said with a smile: "Those mountain and wild scattered cultivators don't have the support of the teacher, and they can easily be ruined by true anger. Originally, he sought longevity and long-term vision, but as a result, he became hemiplegic and mentally handicapped. ”

Lingxiao became serious: "Don't speak lightly. You are in the hall, there are many elders and fellow practitioners, and you have sufficient utensils, and you can't understand the qi refiners in ancient times, and you are also groping in the dark, and there are many people who have not been born and died halfway. ”

"Oh." Zhao Xiao didn't dare to talk back, and Ling Xiao continued: "Among the nine palaces, the Mud Pill Palace is the heaviest, connecting the lifeblood of the qi machine; The Jade Emperor Palace is the deepest, returning to the source; Xuandan Palace is the highest, the door of immortal achievement. ”

"And which house are you in now?" Zhao Xiao asked curiously.

"Naturally, it's the Jade Emperor Palace." The spirit flute replied, "My true spirit can only reside in this house so that it will not interfere with your senses. The spirit demon possesses the body, usually to the Mud Pill Palace, which is enough to control the lifeblood of the human body. ”

Zhao Xiao remembered that when he killed the demon vine in Lishan, the spirit fought to the death and tried to seize his body, but fortunately he was expelled by the spirit flute. So he cautiously asked, "What about ...... Can an immortal take away a mortal body? ”

"Yes." Ling Xiao's answer made Zhao Xiao shiver for a while, but then she heard her say, "But you think I'm willing?" If I take away the filthy mortal body, the dung and the broken boots, it will be self-inflicted. However, the people who held the True Yuan Lock in the past were all superb in cultivation and ruthless, and once they tried to enter their brain palace, they would be immediately detected, and I am afraid that the gain from asking them for help would outweigh the losses. ”

Zhao Xiao could hear that if he didn't have no choice, Ling Xiao would not want to be involved with a mortal like himself.

"Don't think that if I live in the brain palace, I can have an extra backer out of thin air." Ling Xiao warned: "Unless there is a demonic soul breaking into the nine palaces of my brain, I will not show up in front of others." ”

"That's nature." Zhao Xiao didn't expect much, Ling Xiao could teach the immortal family's magic method, and he felt that his fate was far beyond others.

……

Five days later, the chariot and horse guards escorting the monks of the pavilion had already arrived outside the Huaiying Pavilion.

In any case, a monk from the imperial court is not an ordinary person. Zhao Xiao acted as a talisman and could get preferential treatment from a county order. And now that the Huaiying Pavilion is appointed by the imperial court, the corresponding guards cannot be less.

Under Luo Xixian's arrangement, Huaiying Pavilion sent a total of twenty-four people, counting Luo Xixian, there were three Sanqing in total, and the rest were Fu officials. There are both swordsmen like Luo Xixian, and Zhu Youshi, who is proficient in healing.

In addition to Xin Shunying, Zhao Xiao also recommended to Luo Xixian a talisman who was good at lighting magic objects, named Shi Huoguang.

Shi Huoguang is over sixty years old, the oldest of the twenty-four. He is obsessed with creating all kinds of magic charms, and he is extremely low-key in the Huaiying Pavilion, and he can't even speak when he sees the living.

Zhao Xiao is one of the few people who can talk to him, and the two have a lot of exchanges on the creation of magic objects. Considering that this time the bandits and demons cannot be eliminated by their own spells, they must rely on the soldiers to fight on the front line. If an ordinary soldier holds a mortal iron blade and collides with an unpredictable spirit monster, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with. Therefore, Zhao Xiao brought the stone fire light and prepared to create a batch of magic charms in Xingluo County.

"Zhao Xiao, are you sure you want to bring these armor pieces with you?"

At present, there is a large group of people outside the main entrance of the Huaiying Pavilion hurriedly carrying things, and Shi Huoguang dragged a camphor wood box, which contained pieces of armor and iron with broken rope belts, many of which still had blood stains.

Zhao Xiao glanced at it: "Of course you have to bring it!" This box of armor pieces is something I have picked up from all over the world in recent years, and their original owners have all experienced the Great War of the Five Kingdoms, and the ferocious aura in it has endured for a long time. When the time comes, each piece can be used as a talisman for the soldiers. ”

Shi Huoguang nodded solemnly, hung a bamboo sign on the wooden box, and stuffed it into the carriage along with the other things.

"Senior Brother Zhao."

At this time, Xin Shunying came with two women, and when she saw Zhao Huang holding a book in her hand, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Where is Gongzi Luo?" Isn't he the principal? Why did you throw all the inventory of supplies to you? ”

"Luo Xixian is outside, explaining things to the convoy guards." Zhao Xiao smiled: "They are all big and coarse." I don't know what path Luo Xixian took, I don't look like an official in this group of guards, and a few of them carry long swords, and they are also first-class swordsmen. ”

Xin Shunying said with a smile: "There is no shortage of talented swordsmen with extraordinary courage in the south of Huaxu Kingdom, who can subdue tigers and leopards, cut turtles, and some are supported by wealthy and powerful people as guards. ”

"Hmph, it's just window dressing." Zhao Xiao said with a smile, he looked at Xin Shunying and the two women: "In the team of twenty-four people, just the three of you, I have arranged for a diligent servant to accompany you." After all, it's not about going out to enjoy fun, so let's take care of everything. ”

Generally speaking, cultivation is not limited to men and women, and most of the women in the pavilion are from wealthy families, and they even have personal servants to serve them in the pavilion.

"And rightfully so." Xin Shunying bowed slightly: "In addition, I would like to thank Senior Brother Zhao, the Chonghui Armillary Instrument has been refined." ”

"Then congratulations to Senior Sister Xin." Zhao Xiao raised his hand and signaled: "Turn left ahead, the carriage is waiting for you." ”

Looking at the ticks on the book, Zhao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and then Luo Xixian strode over: "How is it?" Grand Master Zhao, can we go? ”

Zhao Xiao turned his pen: "Luo Dajian Immortal, if you can make a contribution this time, I can count on you!" ”
