Volume 5: The First Song Five Hundred and Eight: The Art of the Runes
The injuries caused by this poisoning to Qian Chao were far beyond his imagination, just as the illness came like a mountain and the illness went away like a thread, this blood poison entangled Qian Chao for a full month before it was gradually expelled by Yan Xuan's medicine.
After recovering, Qian Chao did not immediately go to the cold pool with a few companions, because there were too many things to be injured and delayed, even if he wanted to go to the cold pool, he had to be fully prepared, so he asked Tang Ping to tell Tang Bonian to delay for a while to prepare, Tang Bonian didn't mind, and only told Tang Ping to just prepare, Meng Cailou and other monks in the sect had him to deal with it.
In this way, Qian Chao began to get busy as soon as his body recovered.
The first thing Qian Chao did was to refine most of the spiritual weapons he used.
When he started with Wei Gelin, his incomparably strong shield in the past was like a piece of tissue paper in front of Wei Gelin, and the many spirit swords he was proud of couldn't hurt Wei Gelin in the slightest, although Wei Gelin had the blessing of blood and body art at that time, but that experience also deeply stimulated Qian Chao, and the few spiritual weapons that could withstand Wei Gelin's attack or could hurt Wei Gelin were all refined by him regardless of the cost, and as a result, Qian Chao realized that the way of refining weapons is not as clever as clumsy.
So when refining the spirit weapon for his own use again, Qian Chao began to use all his materials, in terms of spirit sword alone, what is the size of a normal long sword, what is the size of the sword embryo he smelted with pattern iron, this time he refined a spirit sword The pattern iron used is enough to refine more than a dozen ordinary spirit swords in the past, this time Qian Chao is not sparing the material at all, and it is carefully refined.
Of course, the most material-consuming thing is not the spirit sword, but the big shield he relies on to protect himself, this time Qian Chao really spared no expense, and the materials used to refine a big shield were enough for him to refine hundreds of big shields before, so he once had the embarrassment of running out of materials, Qian Chao immediately went to the inner hall of the Chengqi Hall, and bought a large number of grain iron from the hands of those senior brothers at the price of the inner hall disciples, because there was not so much grain iron storage in the inner hall in a hurry, so he turned around and went to Jiuxuan's small market, where a large number of spirit stones were sprinkled, Almost all the iron and other materials to be used in the small market were swept away, which once shocked the disciples who were doing business in the small market, and even the disciples who returned from going out heard the news and directly brought the ore they got from outside to the door to find Qian Chao to sell, so Qian Chao's residence was once very lively.
After Tang Ping knew Qian Chao's actions, she asked him very curiously:
"Is this necessary? I won't always meet Wei Gelin like that. ”
has been with Qian Chao for a long time, even if Tang Ping does not learn alchemy, she has a certain understanding of it, she knows that those spirit swords that look cold and shiny are actually the size of a paper-cutting knife, and even Qian Chao's black and heavy shield is actually just a piece of iron the size of a palm, and the big shield that Qian Chao was fiddling with at that time is really the size of a door panel, more than two inches thick, this thing is no different from the big shield used by Qian Chao in the past, but the material used is more than a hundred times that of the previous one, She didn't see Qian Chao and Wei Gelin do it, so she always felt that this seemed to be a waste of materials.
Qian Chao replied:
"Of course it's necessary, and it's very necessary, what we're going to next is the cold pool, I don't know what is inside, but in the cold pool, we know that there is Wen Liang, and there is also a Meng Cailou's Hua Cheng, Wen Liang is not easy to deal with, Hua Cheng is a Chongling blood cultivator, and the means must be unusual, well, there is also a punishment, but even if he is still alive, he was cut off by Brother Li at the beginning, and it is likely that he is the least threat to us. After solving the cold pool, Zhang Yi and Zong Fang still have to deal with it, this time Wei Gelin is dead, I don't know what means Zhang Yi will come up with to deal with us, I will prepare these commonly used at hand first, and I can be more calm when dealing with them in the future. ”
Tang Ping nodded after hearing this, and let the money tide toss.
For the next half a month, Qian Chao almost stayed by the flames in the underground cave where he lived, refining weapons constantly, and every time Tang Ping and a few people came to find Qian Chao, they went directly to his underground cave, he must be busy there.
Until one day, when Tang Ping came to Qian Chao's residence again, he found Qian Chao sitting in front of the bookcase in the main hall, bowing his head, not knowing what he was busy with.
When Tang Ping got closer, he found that Qian Chao was holding a carving knife in his hand, and he was concentrating on carving on a small jade seal.
"What is this?"
Tang Ping was very curious, she had naturally seen Qian Chao's seal many times, but that seal was refined by Qian Chao, not jade, but very heavy, there was a small beast squatting on it, and the bottom of the seal was smooth and wordless, simply put, the seal was used to smash people in the battle, and now Qian Chao was engraved on a seal, and this seal was still jade, which made her curious, and when she looked over, she found that she couldn't understand what Qian Chao had engraved.
"What are you doing here? Is this also in alchemy? Tang Ping couldn't help but ask.
"This ...... It should be regarded as the science of runes," Qian Chao replied without raising his head, "Do you remember that I once fought with a guy named Ram Huang from Yingzhou?" ”
"Remember, isn't it the time you saved Senior Brother Shangsuke, didn't you beat that kid away, what does it have to do with this thing you're fiddling with now?"
"Of course it matters," it seems that the seal has been engraved, Qian Chao said and blew away the jade crumbs from the seal in a gentle breath, and then continued, "A few days ago, I saw a senior brother in the small market selling a large piece of Wenzhang jade, oh, this is it. ”
Qian Chao said and tapped the jade medal with his hand.
"This is a good thing, but that senior brother doesn't know the goods, so I bought a large piece of Wenzhang jade at a very cheap price."
Tang Ping stretched out his hand and took the jade medal in his hand and looked at it, this was not Qian Chao's private seal, there were indeed some things engraved on it, but it was not Qian Chao's name, but a rune that twisted around Tang Ping and did not recognize.
"Then what's the use of you carving this seal with the pattern jade, is it better than the one you originally used?"
"Definitely."
Qian Chao said as he reached out and took the jade medallion, pressed it in the ink on the table, and printed it on a piece of white paper, and a clear red rune appeared on the paper.
"When I fought with Ram Huang, I saw Yingzhou's rune spells, which are really very different from the spells of our Zhongzhou monks, but we are limited by the fact that we don't have the 'immortal blood' of Yingzhou monks, so we can't cast that kind of spell at all, and then I have been thinking about any way to solve this problem......"
"But you're just a rune?" Tang Ping pointed to the red rune on the paper and said.
"There are a lot, how can such a large piece of jade be engraved with only one seal."
Qian Chao said and took out a bunch of jade seals from a storage bag on the table, it seems that he has carved a lot, picked out two of them and printed them on that paper, so that there are three runes on the paper, and then Qian Chao took out a talisman and put it next to the paper, and said:
"Look, this rune is my Qianjun talisman, and the runes on it are a little scribbled and difficult to read, but these three runes printed on the paper are the three runes needed to make a Qianjun talisman......"
Tang Ping somewhat understood the purpose of these seals, and said:
"That means you can use these three jade medals to replace your Qianjun talisman in the future?"
"You can use it like this, but it's not the main purpose of this kind of seal, well, Tang girl, you happened to be here today, just do me a favor, come, come with me to the courtyard, and I'll show you."
After speaking, Qian Chao got up and motioned for Tang Ping to follow.
In the courtyard, Qian Chao and Tang Ping stood opposite each other, after he made a few tricks with both hands, he saw a seal floating in front of him, the side engraved with the runes was outward, and the arrangement between each other seemed to have a certain regularity, with Qian Chao's last trick pinched, after a slight buzz, all the jade seals began to shine slightly and even transparent, but the runes on the jade seals were extremely clear, At the same time, a semicircular light curtain suddenly appeared and shrouded Qian Chao's body, separating him from Tang Ping.
"Tang girl, I want to see if I can reproduce the ram's method, you can try it, and use your ice control technique on me."
Tang Ping was curiously poking a finger at the light curtain, and she hesitated a little after hearing Qian Chao's words:
"Are you sure? This method is also something you just came up with, what if it hurts you? ”
"Don't worry, it was these runes that were used when the ram was trying to resist me, and I clearly remember that he used such a method, when I defeated him with a rhythm weapon, other means were of little use to the ram, and only in the end he was seriously injured that he used an eight-foot peck, and at that time he didn't have time to resist just to escape. It's important that you give me a try today to see if I can copy Ram Yellow's rune spells, and if you're worried I'll get hurt, you can do it lightly. ”
Seeing that Qian Chao insisted, Tang Ping could only agree, and she said while stepping back:
"Then I'll try, you have to be careful."
A cloud of white cold air surged up in Tang Ping's palm, and as her hand flipped outward, a cold current blew away towards Qian Chao, roaring loudly, and the momentum was not small, but in fact, this method was not lethal, it was just a bone-chilling wind, and Bai Sensen's sweep was blocked by the semicircular light curtain in front of Qian Chao.
"Tang girl, you are too careful, this method will not work, you use some powerful ones to come out." Qian Chao behind the light curtain said.
"Okay."
As soon as the words fell, white lines flashed in the cold wind of Bai Sensen, and at the same time, there was a clanging sound in front of Qian Chao's body, just like those ice crystals were smashed on an invisible transparent wall, and the ice chips broke in front of Qian Chao and splashed out, but the light curtain in front of Qian Chao was extremely stable, and there was no sign of loosening.
"Soup Girl ......"
Qian Chao urged again, wanting Tang Ping to come up with a few more means.
"Got it!"
Before Tang Ping's words fell, suddenly the ice crystals in the cold wind became dense, and the whistling sound sounded, and countless sharp ice crystals shot towards Qian Chao like dense rain, and in front of Qian Chao was a white expanse of ice chips that shattered and splashed out, and the white expanse almost isolated the figures of the two, this scene was very surprising from the side, Qian Chao stood there quietly, a light curtain in front of him, and all the dense ice crystals hit the light curtain as if they hit a transparent and hard crystal wall. At this time, the few seals in front of Qian Chao were also hanging there silently like Qian Chao, motionless, as if Tang Ping's stormy attack could not shake it at all.
It is much stronger than the body protection aura used by other five spirit disciples to resist damage, and the self-aura consumed is not much, it seems that it is indeed useful, and Qian Chao's eyebrows are already happy.
But Tang Ping was a little unconvinced, she didn't release the water now, and if the monks of the same level didn't escape under such a method, they would inevitably be beaten, but now they couldn't help Qian Chao's newly acquired means, suddenly all the cold wind and dense ice crystals disappeared completely, Tang Ping said on the other side:
"Money boy, be careful!"
Qian Chao knew Tang Ping's intentions, and when he looked at the opposite side again, he saw that three thick ice cubes like short spears had been hanging over Tang Ping's head, and then three long lines of ice white were aimed at him and shot rapidly.
"Ding, ding, ding" sounded three times in a hurry.
Qian Chao took a few steps back, the sharp edge of the ice cube couldn't hurt him, and the three thick ice cubes were all smashed on the light curtain, but the residual strength from the impact was transmitted to his body from those seals, although he took a few steps back, but that's all, Qian Chao didn't receive any damage at all.
It seems to be useful, Qian Chao is even more happy in his heart, he didn't expect that he could also use the means of the Yingzhou monk in a different way, Tang Ping thought that this should be the end of it, Qian Chao's method does seem to be somewhat useful, but Qian Chao was not satisfied, and said to Tang Ping:
"Tang girl, is there a more powerful means, since we want to try it thoroughly!"
"Money boy, aren't you afraid of getting hurt?" Of course, Tang Ping had more powerful means, but she didn't dare to agree to Qian Chao easily.
"Don't worry, I have my own life-saving technique, you can do it." Qian Chao urged again.
"Then you must be careful!" Tang Ping had no choice but to agree.
Soon, with the continuous changes of the girl's trick, above Tang Ping's head, a huge ice cube more than two feet long, as thick as a pillar, and the two sharp ends had already formed, and it was aimed at him with a cold air and trembling.
Qian Chao was a little dumbfounded at this time, and hurriedly said:
"Hey, soup girl......"
Tang Ping also hesitated:
"Do you want to continue testing? It's my most powerful tool! ”
Since you want to know what the limit of this means is, the test must be thorough, Qian Chao's heart was horizontal, he simply stood still, and shouted:
"Come!"
With a "woo", a thick ice-white long line flew out and hit Qian Chao directly.
"Click", the tip of the huge ice cube was smashed on the semi-circular light curtain in an instant, and then it still moved forward under the huge force, and the ice cube flew back through the light curtain against the money tide, and finally "bang" burst like glass, the light curtain was finally pierced, Tang Ping was shocked and couldn't stop in time, a black shield appeared in front of Qian Chao out of nothing, "bang", the light curtain, the big shield, and Qian Chao retreated together.
When Tang Ping saw this, he hurriedly withdrew his hand, and the huge ice cube suddenly loosened up and turned into countless broken ice, scattered all over the ground.
Tang Ping was a little scared, ran over to check, fortunately Qian Chao was safe and sound, she looked at Qian Chao, who was also a little pale, and said:
"Money boy, if your new method can continue to improve, it may be available, if it is only at this level, then you will still not be able to resist a powerful opponent."
Qian Chao smiled and said:
"This method was born from Yingzhou's rune spells, but what I use is completely different from what they use, to some extent, it is my own spell, don't look at the strongest blow that I can't block just now, but the test just now just confirmed the idea in my heart, of course there will be great progress in the future, Tang girl, this method I just got a glimpse of a doorway, allow me to work harder in the future, this method will definitely be useful!"
"Since you created it yourself, what is the name of this method?" Tang Ping asked.
Qian Chao groaned slightly, stretched out his hand and pinched one of the many seals hanging in front of him, looked at it, and then said:
"It's called the Talisman Technique."
