Time flies, time flies like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, it has been four years of ZTE.

Three years have passed in a flash, and this is the fourth year after Emperor Ming ascended the throne.

But for the top and bottom of the Chu State, the existence of the Ming Emperor is not as good as day by day.

Under her leadership, the literary style of Chu is prosperous, the national fortune is peaceful, the border is stable, and the people's livelihood and economy have begun to recover.

The people in China have finally lived a good life for a few years.

For a time, the eldest princess's prestige was at its peak, and in the court and the opposition, she only listened to the phoenix and did not hear the dragon.

Even, in the hearts of many people, they have tacitly agreed that the eldest princess is the lord of Chu State.

But, that is, in this year.

Emperor Ming came of age.

After all, he is also the titular Son of Heaven, since ancient times, there are no two heavens, there are no two lords of the country, before the Ming Emperor is a minor, everyone may not dare to have any other thoughts.

But as the monarch came of age and began to have some political opinions of his own, he began to gather some supporters around him.

Whether you want it or not, you will be pushed forward until the cusp.

I heard that a few days ago, on the Qiankun Palace.

Emperor Ming had a big quarrel with the eldest princess in the Qiankun Palace for obstructing the reform of the new policy, and the contradictions between the two sides became more and more intense.

……

Of course.

These national events have nothing to do with Su Chen for the time being, and he doesn't pay too much attention to them.

In the past three years, almost all of his energy has been focused on cultivation.

Tiangang Tongzi Gong has been cultivated to the third level, and it can barely be regarded as entering the hall, under the urging, the Qi of Yuanyang can cover the whole body, forming a Gang Qi protective body, and the strength of the defense and physical body has increased greatly.

Pure Yang Gong has also made great progress, and the Pure Yang True Qi fills the sea of Qi and swims away from hundreds of limbs, providing him with great strength.

The scorching true qi is an excellent help for forging bones and quenching the body.

Coupled with the nourishment of the bone forging liquid and Zuogui wine, now he has completely forged his bones, and his whole body has been tempered like steel.

One foot also stepped into the realm of refining the marrow.

Stepping into this realm, the physical body is strong, the internal force is full, and looking at the rivers and lakes, it can also be regarded as first-class.

Coupled with the wonders of Tiangang Tongzi Gong and Pure Yang Gong, the master of ordinary refining marrow, Su Chen is also confident that he can handle it.

Of course, the lack of martial arts moves and other means is still his shortcoming.

If you meet a real top master, it is estimated that you will still suffer.

Therefore, low-key forbearance is still the way of life that Su Chen has always implemented.

Life in Kwai Yuan is still calm and stable.

Sweeping the floor every day, reading books, practicing, occasionally taking care of the sunflowers in the yard, feeding Hai Dongqing and his family, after cracking the immortal machine arsenal, he rarely played chess.

First, it is because there are no new chess games to see in the library, and secondly, my chess skills are already very high, and I have no opponents, and I play chess by myself every day, which is too boring.

So, Su Chen began to study and learn some other things.

For example, traps and sigils.

Traps are such a thing, which belongs to miscellaneous studies that do not enter the stream, even in the martial arts rivers and lakes, they are also things that cannot be put on the table.

But in fact, the art of mechanics also had a glorious history many years ago.

Legend has it that in a large country in the northwest, there was once a large family known for its tricks, which could create puppets and castles, comparable to a thousand armies.

But alas.

The state of Chu did not have a corresponding inheritance of organs, and the books recorded in the library were only some superficial and crude things.

Su Chen had seen some of them a long time ago, and arranged them as defensive measures in the room, and it was this that subdued An Yu in the first place.

Later, he found some new gadgets, so he studied them and arranged them around the residence, just in case.

Not to mention, it's effective.

Even if it's just the crudest, small traps, if they are numerous, and dense enough, they can have an unexpected effect.

In the past three years, there have also been some blind thieves who tried to break into Kwai Yuan, but they all became sunflower nourishment.

These people, Su Chen guessed, were likely to be members of the Great Sun God Sect.

In order to retrieve the "holy relics", they really went forward one after another.

But it's a pity that the people who came are not as good as the other, their strength is mediocre, and many people didn't even see Su Chen's face, so they were directly killed by traps.

Except for the traps.

Su Chen also began to study the talisman seal.

This talisman technique has been circulated among the people, but most of them are tricks used by Taoist priests to deceive people.

The illustration of the runes and seals included in the library is only a brief introduction to some common folk patterns of runes and seals, which are used for popular science.

It is basically impossible to study the true art of the talisman seal in this way.

The reason why Su Chen read these is because of the Golden Book of the Sun.

In the past few years, while he has been cultivating Pure Yang Gong, he has also tried to study this golden book holy relic.

Injecting true qi and dripping blood to recognize the Lord has no effect.

Su Chen estimated that this thing may not be able to be urged by ordinary forces, and it is estimated that it needs to really step into cultivation and refine mana in order to control it.

But this research toss is not completely fruitless.

Su Chen found that the golden crow patterns imprinted on the golden book, those fire cloud patterns, were not chaotic, just like talismans, there was a wonderful connection.

Therefore, he studied the rune seal just to understand the law of the rune pattern.

Then try to disassemble the moire on the golden crow map in this way, and then try to copy it, maybe you can study something new.

"The painting is drawn, but I'm not sure if it's useful......"

After countless failures, Su Chen finally copied a few complete "talisman seals".

It is said to be a rune seal, but it is actually an ordinary rune paper with fire cloud patterns drawn.

His current attainments are not enough to copy the Golden Crow itself, so he can only start from the fire cloud pattern next to it, which is also not easy, not only to maintain the original trajectory of the fire cloud pattern, but also to integrate it into the normal outline rules of the seal.

To be honest, Su Chen didn't know how he made it up.

As for whether this thing is useful or not, he doesn't know in his heart.

After all, things like talismans are not just drawn casually, they require special materials and methods, and they need to be injected with effort or mana to take effect.

But he believed that the magic of the Golden Book of the Sun might be able to turn decay into magic.

Anyway, I have time, try it, even if I fail, there is nothing to lose, just as a pastime after practice.

"Give it a try."

While thinking about it, Su Chen picked up one of the "Fire Talismans" and tried to inject a wisp of true qi.

The next moment.

The flame pattern on the rune paper seemed to be alive, and the rune paper exploded instantly, turning into a ball of fire, which frightened him and quickly threw it out.

Bang.

Fireballs smashed into the courtyard, leaving a charred black.

"Success?"

Su Chen was surprised and delighted, he didn't expect that he would really succeed in making this mess.

Although the power of this fire talisman was still very small, and it was not even as good as urging the True Qi bombardment with all his strength, it at least proved that his thinking was right.

In the future, you can slowly find a way to improve, and sooner or later you will be able to make a real flame rune, and even, integrate the complete golden crow map into the rune seal, what kind of golden crow rune seal will you get?

It's exciting to think about!

Of course, the premise of this is that you must master more knowledge of the talisman seal, rather than this kind of folk skin.

"Now this fire talisman is not very effective, but it should still be able to be used to pretend to be forced. Raise your hand and shoot out of thin air, just like a top master of refining the marrow, the internal strength breaks the body, the true qi is condensed, and it is quite effective to scare people. ”

After thinking about it, Su Chen put away the remaining few fire talismans.

It was at this time.

Suddenly, he heard a muffled sound coming from the wall, followed by the sound of a trap being triggered, and then a muffled grunt.

"Huh? Another stupid thief has thrown himself into the net? ”
