Chapter 16: The Rituals of the Mountains, the Powder, and the Hoe
"Secret, [The Secret of the Herb Picker] ......"
Jiang Ge got up, sat down at the desk, and took out a pen and paper.
While deepening my understanding of this secret tradition.
"The ancient profession of medicine picker is closely related to the mountains and rivers."
"They walk in the mountains and forests, face the natural threats of mountains and rivers, poisonous snakes and beasts, steep mountains, and even landslides, they are far more than ordinary people can understand the vastness of mountains and rivers, and the insignificance of people.
The medicinal herbs collected by the herb pickers are also directly given from the mountains and rivers.
Most of the medicine pickers believe that the mountains and rivers have spirits, and before going into the mountains to collect medicine, they will worship the gods of the mountains......"
Jiang Ge paused and wrote a line on the paper.
【Ritual of the Mountains】
[The art of formlessness, the ritual of the mountains.] 】
[Worship the spirit of the mountain, the god of the mountain, to pray for the protection of the mountains and rivers.
If you succeed, you will be blessed by the mountains and rivers.
Enhance the affinity with the natural environment, achieve the effect of integrating into the mountains and forests, dispersing poisonous insects and beasts, and avoiding natural disasters on mountains and rocks......]
"In short, entering the mountains is like going home."
Jiang Ge recalled the scene when he met the medicine picker.
"This blessing of mountains and rivers is the reason why medicine pickers can move normally in the silent deep forest."
"Unfortunately, the Silent Deep Forest is no ordinary mountain forest.
It seemed to be shrouded in the lightless realm of some Supreme Pillar.
The effect of blessing from the mountains and rivers is limited, and it is far from the extent of integrating into the environment. ”
"Still, it's pretty powerful."
Interpreting the memories of the herb pickers, Jiang Ge knew.
Last night, he saw an ancient well in the clearing, called the Well of the Reflecting Moon, which was a resting place for the moon.
The shadow of the moon inside is the reflection of the mirror moon, a reflection of His power.
Therefore, the Silent Deep Forest has the shares of Mirror Moon in it.
The invisible technique he used, [Moonlight Path], could run so fast in the forest that even the Kuroshio couldn't catch up, and that's the reason.
Jiang Ge recalled the materials needed for the ritual of descending the mountain range.
Discovering this thing is really much easier to do than the Mirror Ritual.
All you need to do is find a vibrant mountain forest and worship the god of the mountain, and the ritual can be completed.
The materials required are even simpler, and you can use whatever offerings you use to worship the gods.
Seasonal fresh fruits, pastries and vegetables, and even braised pork head meat, braised pig intestine......
However, from the memories of the medicine pickers, Jiang Ge knew that these things were actually just appearances.
If you really take these things to worship, as long as you master the secret [Secret of the Medicine Picker], the ritual can be successful.
But the blessing is only a temporary one, the effect is not very strong, and it lasts for two to three days before disappearing.
This can be compared to the ritual of the mirror.
It is also an invisible technique that can be performed by using the materials of the present world and mastering the corresponding secret tradition.
But the more stringent the conditions to achieve, the stronger the effect.
If you want to receive the true blessings of the mountains and rivers, you need a material called "Breath of the Mountains" to transform your body during the ritual.
"This material, like the glow of the mirror moon, is something that does not exist in this world......"
"It's a little breath that leaks out between the breath of the mountains and the earth......
"If you want to get this material, you need to go to the three-way intersection of the first day gate, which leads to the place surrounded by mountains?"
Jiang Ge scratched his hair with the end of the pen.
"Forget it, let's talk about this ceremony when you have time, after all, you can't directly increase your strength."
Moreover, in the memory of the medicine picker, he wasted a lot of effort in order to get a wisp of mountain and forest breath to carry out the ritual.
In contrast, the ritual of Shadow Binding is a bit more of a priority.
"Let's go and see if we can get the black feather rock tonight."
Jiang Ge made a decision to continue to check the memories of the herb pickers.
"As a herb picker, the herb picker has also mastered the skills of making various insect repellent powders, as well as special medicines.
The ecstasy incense he sprinkled on me last night was something he had put a lot of thought into to make.
To be able to bring it into the illusion realm, this medicinal powder is indeed not simple.
According to him, if you inhale it completely, it is more than enough to put down the average apprentice, and even if you inhale a small amount, it can make people's hands and feet sore.
It's a pity that it doesn't seem to work very well......"
Jiang Ge remembered that last night, he also sucked in a lot, but there was no.
"Because my soul is too strong? No, it's supposed that this guy's pharmaceutical methods are too bad. ”
Jiang Ge pondered for a while, and felt that he could make some of this thing and try it.
If it is really so powerful, it is simply a must-have for going out, an artifact for deception.
Keep checking the memories.
The last special skill mastered by the herb picker can be summarized as survival in the mountains and forests, which includes the identification of herbs, the identification of directions, sneaking in the forest and other empirical means.
But what attracted Jiang Ge's attention the most was a set of self-defense techniques.
To be precise, it's a set of nameless hoes.
The method of using a hoe to smash people, referred to as the hoe method.
The weapon was the medicine hoe that he had sealed his spiritual state in.
These two are matching, and when used together, they are infinitely powerful, and they can be called can-opening artifacts.
No matter how hard your head is, it can open the scoop for you.
It's the herb picker, this guy is in the process of collecting medicine.
A cave was discovered by accident next to a skeleton in the cave.
The owner of this skeleton seems to be a herb collector who has come into contact with the illusory world and has already advanced a long way on the road of the illusory world.
Next to the bones is the legacy of the herb picker.
As a result, the medicine pickers embarked on the road of exploring the secrets.
"This herb picker is still a protagonist template."
Jiang Ge scratched his head, "Why didn't I encounter this good thing?" ”
Seeing this, Jiang Ge also knew why the medicine pickers were fishing there.
It has to do with that legacy.
Involves the secrecy above the apprentice.
An apprentice is a person who has just embarked on a path to the hidden world.
And above the apprentice is the initiator.
It is a person who has a certain understanding of the illusory world, has mastered more 'secrets', and goes deeper into the illusory world than an apprentice.
If you want to be promoted, you need to obtain the corresponding secret legend and complete an extremely demanding promotion ceremony.
And in that inheritance, it is recorded that the Earth Mother Mountain and Sea Yuanjun lineage, the position obtained by the [Secret Inheritance] at the beginner level.
and the ritual of promoting the beginner's class [Pharmacist]: [Ritual of Soul Refining Medicine]
The ritual process is to complete a medicine refining.
It's just the material for refining medicine.
It's spirituality and soul.
Use this to refine a furnace of medicine, and after taking it.
After completing the promotion ceremony, you can become an introductory pharmacist.
It's easy to say, but the refining process of this big medicine is actually very troublesome.
The requirements for materials are higher.
It is difficult for ordinary people's souls to meet the requirements of alchemy.
Therefore, the medicine picker paid attention to the apprentice who entered the illusion realm.
The spirituality and soul of an apprentice are far superior to mortal souls.
"A furnace of medicine requires the spirituality and soul of nine apprentices, and the medicine picker has already collected three copies, that is to say, three apprentices have already lost their lives......
