Chapter 224: Study Runes

The next day, together with Ye Xing, there were three apprentices who were learning to draw talismans with a formal disciple named Xiao Zong, and the other apprentice who was coming did not appear, so he should not come.

Ye Xing was new, so Xiao Zong asked Ye Xing to copy the simplest runes, while the two apprentices learned the more advanced runes.

Runes are very similar to words, but they look messy, and they are twisted and turned, and they are completely children's graffiti, and runes are actually not words, but a method of storing and releasing true qi.

Generally speaking, runes don't have much to do with the spiritual root of the maker, but they do have a relationship, but they will have a lot to do with when making high-level runes.

For example, Ye Xing showed that he was a monk with a wood spirit root, although he could learn all the runes, he could only make wood attribute talismans, because after making the talismans, he had to fill the true qi of the corresponding attributes to really succeed.

A person with a wood attribute can also refine a fire-attribute talisman, but he can't fill the talisman with fire-attribute true qi, so the general talisman maker only refines the talisman, but does not input the true qi, and the true qi is pre-entered by the user himself.

Some talismans require a combination of true qi of multiple attributes to play a role, and this kind of high-level talisman generally requires the cooperation of multiple people to make it, just because most of the time, a person only has one spiritual root attribute true qi.

The study of runes is not divided into attributes, just to learn how to draw them, as well as the laws of true qi operation represented by these paintings, you can draw any type of runes, but you may not be able to make the corresponding runes.

On the first day, Ye Xing drew a day, copying runes with a brush on a piece of white paper, that is, a rune, he practiced more than a thousand times, but he was still not very proficient, in order not to waste paper, Ye Xing later drew on the ground.

Every practice has to concentrate on studying all the details, and then imitate it, the process is actually very tiring and laborious, and this is only the simplest rune.

According to Xiao Zong, there can be an infinite number of runes, but the simple basic runes are 108, and then the complex runes are actually a combination or variant of simple runes.

In other words, the combination of 108 simple runes can design an infinite number of combinations, and then an infinite number of changes can be generated, so the runes are actually a set of methods for the operation, preservation, and stimulation of the combination of true qi.

Ye Xing only practiced a simple Wood Spirit Qi instantaneous activation talisman, practiced for a day, practiced more than a thousand times, and finally really drew it on a second-class rune paper, filled the drawn rune with Wood Spirit True Qi, and then the excitation can be released instantaneously, which can produce a small range of high-concentration wood spiritual energy.

Not only the wood aura, in fact, any aura is the same, the fire aura can be deflagrated, in essence, it is to produce high temperature with aura in a short period of time, if it is ice aura, it is to produce extremely cold low temperature, and the earth aura will stimulate the heavy earth aura in a small range in a short time.

The various runes look similar, but there are still major differences in the details of the runes used by each aura, as well as the paper, ink, and pen used.

Now Ye Xing is wood attribute, of course, it is a painting wood instantaneous activation charm, and as soon as the wood instantaneous activation charm is activated, it can instantaneously produce a high concentration of wood aura around the small area, which is equivalent to increasing one's cultivation for a wood monk.

In addition to rune ink, there are rune pens, rune paper, runes, and finally the corresponding aura must be filled, and it must be excited when used, refining the rune is really an extremely troublesome process, and the mental strength is a great test.

Ye Xing's practice of runes on white paper and the ground will not have any effect, it is just a learning process to understand runes, and the real runes must be drawn with rune ink on special rune paper.

Rune paper, rune ink, and rune pen are all made of the skin, blood, and hair of spirit beasts, in fact, they are really expensive things, and there is really no need to be so extravagant in practicing runes.

In the next twenty days, one rune diagram a day, one pattern has to be practiced thousands of times, I am afraid that what I learned before will be forgotten and I have to keep reviewing all the previous exercises, Ye Xing feels that the process of practice is still very interesting.

Ye Xing's memory is very good, the reason why he has to practice thousands of times, in fact, there is only one reason, that is, practice makes perfect, others also memorize runes, he has to be proficient and deduce all the details in the process of practice.

Ye Xing himself is a person with all the attributes of the five elements, so when he learns one, he will immediately master 5 kinds of changes, and some runes that can be mixed with a variety of true qi have to consider dozens, hundreds of changes.

Ye Xing's learning is different from others, he is here to thoroughly master all the knowledge and skills of all the runes, in fact, every basic rune, he has deduced all the skills to perfection through his own practice.

After twenty days of study, Ye Xing completely mastered the basic skills of runes, and began to learn more rune knowledge beyond books on his own.

A month later, Ye Xing had learned all the 108 most basic runes in the book, not only did he draw them skillfully and accurately, but also understood every detail, unlike others, he still understood all the details of the runes under the five aura attributes.

The reason why he learned so quickly in the second half of the month was to give full play to his magical brain, the previous basic training made his hands extremely flexible, and after mastering the meaning of the runes, he could accelerate his learning, and the main thing was that he didn't need to rest at all, and he continued to practice and figure out day and night.

At the end of the month, the two apprentices who had been here for three months were conducting the introductory assessment, and Ye Xing was watching from the side.

The assessment is actually very difficult, that is, six of the 108 basic runes are picked out at random, given real rune paper, rune ink, and rune pen, refined on the spot, and filled with their own corresponding aura, and immediately demonstrate the effect.

The practice of drawing runes is only part of the content, in fact, there are other knowledge, which is the inflation of the runes and the fixed sealing of the runes that Ye Xing has not yet touched, that is, filling the corresponding true qi into the drawn runes, and then setting up the fixed sealing formation, so that the true qi will not be lost.

Ye Xing carefully observed the refining of the two, and carefully deduced and imitated it again and again in his mind, the setting of the Solid Spirit Array was not very complicated, but it also had to be learned, and Ye Xing learned it while watching.

Ye Xing's formation level was already very high, he had already been at the master level, he had never been in contact with the Solid Spirit Array before, but now when he looked at it, he immediately understood that it was actually just a variant of the Hidden Spirit Array.

In addition to the Solid Spirit Array, there is also a trigger array, which generally uses the divine sense to stimulate the true qi stored in the talisman, and when it is used, the divine consciousness can be activated as soon as the trigger array is moved.

Two apprentices, the first two months to learn the foundation of runes, the second month to learn two formation settings, followed by more than a dozen real trial production, and then to assess, for ordinary people, the difficulty is actually very high, and the whole three months are still very boring.

The assessment of the two apprentices is six days, and a basic character is randomly selected every day, and all of them must be passed to be considered successful, Ye Xing watched from the sidelines, but his mind was constantly full of simulations and deductions, and he didn't need to learn at all, he had already mastered it thoroughly, and deduced a more efficient technique.

Six days later, the results came out, one person failed to pass the assessment, and the other barely passed, becoming the first official disciple of the Tianfu Sect in the past ten years.

This disciple named Li Yun looks delicate, studies hard, and has a good mind, he is too scholarly, and his dexterity of his hands and feet is not very good, but he is already a rare talent, at least he is really interested, and he is willing to work hard to learn the art of talisman making.

Ye Xing had a lot of contact with the two apprentices during this time, and also learned a lot, and watched the trial production process of the two of them for six consecutive days, and now he has fully understood and mastered all the details of the 108 basic runes, and it is almost the actual trial production.

Li Yun is also a child of a declining family, and his cultivation qualifications are not bad, but his family can't afford to pay a high fee to participate in the selection of major sects, so he came to Tianfu Sect to learn a craft.

In the Tang Empire, a rune master is actually a noble profession, but it is difficult to master the refining of runes, especially the high-level runes are extremely difficult, but if you learn to become a rune master, then you can at least do it for a lifetime.

Intermediate and high-level runes are extremely difficult to refine, because the rune master itself requires extremely high cultivation, but the cultivation of these people in the Heavenly Rune Sect is extremely low, which is really inconsistent with the Ten Thousand Years Sect.

The Wannian Sect may also be boasting, but in terms of a set of techniques for training talismans, it is still extremely rigorous.
