Chapter Forty-Seven: The Pillars of the Four Directions
The sun was shining, the air was fresh, a flock of white swallows were buzzing outside the window, and the lush woods below were often infested with exotic animals, and this place did not look like the center of the desert at all.
"Generally speaking, ordinary karmic fire can only be used to burn rune mediums to form rune arrays, but some special karmic fires with attributes can directly produce different effects through the medium of burning corresponding attributes, without passing through rune arrays, that is, they can directly attack or defend with runes. Zhang Lao ignored Yang Rui's surprised expression and continued to talk to himself.
"This is another way for rune array masters to fight, and it was still relatively common in ancient times, but now there are fewer and fewer rune array masters who can realize karmic fire, not to mention karmic fire with special attributes. Of course, to use karmic fire directly in battle, the premise is that your spiritual power is strong enough, because the burning of karmic fire is based on the consumption of spiritual energy!"
"So, Master's karmic fire ......"
At this time, Yang Rui turned his attention from Zhang Lao's age back to the topic of karma.
"Hehe, your master and my karmic fire is, of course, also a karmic fire with special attributes. The old man said, with a stroke of his finger, a colorless and transparent karmic fire rushed up, and the fluctuations of this karmic fire were extremely subtle, and if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see it at all.
"This is a phaseless karmic fire, colorless, phaseless, rootless and dustless, which itself can directly attack the enemy's spirit without having to pass through the medium, and burning in the air will create a spatial crack. Like this......"
With a flick of his fingers, a phaseless karmic fire burned in the air between the two, and a hole suddenly cracked in the air that was originally nothing, and the air around him was suddenly sucked in by the crack, bringing a whirlwind that blew up the boy on the bed and the things in the room.
The spatial crack quickly disappeared, and Yang Rui and those items floating in mid-air all fell to the ground, and the room was in a mess. As soon as he landed, Yang Rui immediately got up from the ground, didn't care about patting the dust off his body, and looked at Zhang Lao excitedly and curiously.
This is a completely different way of fighting from Genki Combat Skills!
"What can I do to be like Master?"
Yang Rui opened his big dark eyes and looked at Zhang Lao with adoration, this was the first time he really felt the otherworldly strength of the old man in front of him. Although he had also seen Zhang Lao arrange the rune array in the oasis, after all, he only used three runes to arrange a small first-level rune array that time.
"Ahem, as I said earlier, everyone's karma is different, so you can't be the same as me. Zhang Lao lowered his head and coughed twice, looked at Yang Rui's disappointed expression, and continued with a smile: "Don't cry and mourn, the ability of the five rounds of karmic fire will definitely not be much worse than that of the unphased karmic fire, and if it is applied well, it will be even more powerful than the unphased karmic fire in some aspects!"
"Eun!"
Hearing this, Yang Rui finally smiled, and continued to come up and listen carefully.
Hehe, what a real fellow, the old man thought, got up from his chair and said to the boy, "Clean up and come with me." ”
As he spoke, he pinned the gourd back to his waist, then turned around and slowly walked out of the messy room. Yang Rui nodded, quickly put on a black robe and shoes, touched the pendant around his neck, smiled, and followed closely behind Zhang Lao.
"With your current control over the five rounds of karmic fire, you are far from being able to use it directly. The old man said as he walked, and led the boy through a wide arched corridor, the huge stone pillars on both sides of the corridor were enough for three people to hug more than ten zhang high, and the top of the corridor was carved with exquisite reliefs, which was simple and magnificent. Similar to what Yang Rui saw in the ancient tomb, the carvings are all glorious stories of the undead race.
"With your eyesight, you should be able to see that the ratio of the five colors in the karmic fire you are currently emitting is not even, and only by making the five elements of it reach a balance can you really exert the power of the five rounds of karmic fire. There were only two people walking around in the palace, and Zhang Lao's voice echoed through the empty corridor.
Yang Ruidong looked around, curiously observing the beautiful sculptures and utensils in the palace, after 10,000 years, the things in this palace were able to be kept clean and spotless, as if someone had been cleaning them for 10,000 years.
Yang Rui shivered, and when he turned around, he saw that Zhang Lao had already walked a distance, so he hurriedly ran up and asked, "Well, what should I do then?"
"First of all, you have to learn how to separate the five colors of the five karmic fires, that is, into five separate karmic fires, which are controlled by one of the five fingers. The old man glanced at the young man who was walking around and looking around, and continued, "Then we must try to make these five colors of karmic fire reach a uniform situation, and then merge them together after the last time!"
Yang Rui scratched his head when he heard this, and thought to himself, this method is really enough to toss people, if you want to control the five colors of karmic fire with five fingers, how precise the control of karmic fire must be, and it will definitely consume a lot of spiritual power when you control it.
Moreover...... Yang Rui asked helplessly: "How can we separate the five colors of the five rounds of karmic fire?"
"Hehe, don't worry, it's hard to get started. The old man smiled, unhurriedly took out the gourd and poured it again, and led the boy out of the cloister to an arched bridge.
The arch bridge is still made of huge stones, with exquisite arcades and handrails on it, and there is a column at each end with two dark blue crystals the size of a millstone, similar to the one Yang Rui saw in the ancient tomb holy land, but not so large.
The arch bridge is built on a bottomless cliff, connecting the palace here and a huge pillar in front of it, and a group of white swallows are facing the wind, looking at the sky with Yang Rui's gaze.
The dark black pillars were covered with scales and towered into the sky, as if supporting the world. This feeling actually reminded Yang Rui of Xuanwu who was imprisoned in the land of Taixu!? Could it be that this is one of its thighs?
Yang Rui shook his head vigorously, shook off this absurd idea, and touched the place where the Xuanwu totem on his chest was located with his hand, but he didn't see any reaction, it seemed that he was really thinking too much.
"Ahem! The old man had already walked to the center of the arch bridge, and beckoned the young man to hurry over, "This is one of the four heavenly pillars of the palace of the Imperial Palace, and we will go up to the palace at the top of the heavenly pillar later, let's go." ”
Seeing the young man's curious look, the old man made a brief introduction, then turned around and continued to walk and said, "I don't know if you have ever heard of the principle of seeking the same thing. ”
Yang Rui quickly followed Zhang Lao and shook his head.
"Well, the five rounds of karmic fire originate from the karma of the five elements of heaven and earth, and the original origin of the five elemental attributes in the air. ”
Zhang Lao took Yang Rui across the arched bridge and stopped in front of an arched gate, on either side of which stood two tall stone statues, dressed in armor and holding a big sword in their hands, as if guarding this gate.
"From today onwards, you need to capture the vitality of different elements every day to write runes, and at the same time use the mind-eye state to sense the changes under the dantian, leaving karmic fire of the same attribute color on each rune paper. Remember, don't mix it with other colors, or the rune paper will be invalid!"
As he spoke, the old man quickly moved the runes hidden on the gate with both hands, these runes were the same as those on the space gate of the ancient tomb, which were usually imperceptible to the naked eye, and could only be seen by a rune array master of the level of Zhang Lao and a person with a special physique like Yang Rui.
"But, where am I going to find a place with five different elemental attributes at the same time!?" shouted the young man in black while carefully observing the old man's technique, reaching out and touching the cold stone carving, and sure enough, it was spotless.
The young man wondered in his heart, he didn't even see a figure on the way, could it be that someone was really cleaning in the city?
"Hehe, I probably can't find a place like this outside. The old man carefully moved the runes. Indeed, in nature, the fluctuations of the vitality in different environments are different, and they are basically dominated by the vitality of one elemental attribute, which is mixed with a small amount of vitality of other attributes. It can be said that it is impossible to find a place where the five types of vitality coexist at the same time.
"But there happens to be a place in this palace that is very suitable for your cultivation, do you remember the multicolored spar?" Zhang Lao said and stopped, the runes on the gate were arranged in an order, the faint blue light intertwined, and the gate slowly opened, revealing the spatial passage behind.
Yang Rui nodded, remembering the situation when the multicolored spar appeared in the Double Moon Inn, and realized a little.
"For the next month, you're going to do special training here, and how far you can go depends on how good you are. Zhang Lao said and stepped into the passage first.
Yang Rui hurriedly followed into the passage, and after a period of dizziness, he found himself in a bright and open hall on the top of the Heavenly Pillar, and from the window he could look down on a corner of the city. Seeing that Zhang Lao had already walked in front, he hurriedly followed.
On the edge of the pillar, after the old man and the boy disappeared, the gate returned to its original state.
"What about a month later?" In the hall, Yang Rui caught up with Zhang Lao and asked.
"In a month's time, the undead will lose their effectiveness after 10,000 years of operation, and there will be explorers and mercenary groups from different countries here, and it will be a toss-up. Speaking of this, Zhang Laoyao looked at the empty ancient capital city under the pillar, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.
Once one of the eight bustling metropolises of antiquity, the street that was originally crowded with people can no longer even be found. This holy city, which was looked up to by thousands of undead people, is now an empty city, and all the clansmen don't know where they have gone?
The once glorious undead race, the highly developed ancient civilization city, and the top existence of the continent, after ten thousand years of sinking, are now about to face a catastrophe. Countless magnificent buildings are about to be destroyed, and countless elixirs, ancient books, and treasures will be looted!
Maybe it's because he doesn't have much affection for this ancient city, but at this time, Yang Rui is thinking in his heart, it is better to be robbed by me if he is robbed by others, and he must take the time to take a good look around this city and see what good things can be taken out.
Hmph, it should be regarded as a little compensation for being hunted down by that unruly princess!
Thinking of the treasure hunt in the next month, the teenager was so excited that he was a little distracted. If the princess and Concubine Jiu knew about his idea, I don't know how angry they would be, and maybe they would beat him up again.
"Oops!"
The boy hit the old man headfirst on the back and woke up from his dream.
"Ahem!Oh, by the way, I haven't officially introduced it yet, this is the Nine Elders of the Undead Race, and this ......"
Veteran Zhang pulled Yang Rui out from behind him, smiled, and said, "I think you already know each other, the princess of the undead race, named Yu Ji." ”
Then they came to a wide square paved with huge stones, and in the center of the square stood a square building, and at the gate of the building stood two men, the gatekeeper of the ancient tomb and the unruly princess!
"Humph!"
The two turned around in unison and gave each other a bite on the back of the head.
"Hehe, you are the heirs chosen by the Snake and the Patriarch of the Undead Clan, but you have to get along well!" the old man looked at the two young men with a smile.
"Hmph, as long as this barbaric princess doesn't shout and kill. ”
Yang Rui's character has always been that people don't offend me, I don't offend people, and he arched his hand to Yu Jiu with an unnatural smile, after all, not long ago, he was hiding in the desert and hiding from them, to be precise, the princess's pursuit.
Immediately, the young man saw the cunning smile on the old man's face, and suddenly seemed to realize that this cunning old man had put himself alone in the river valley plain where chickens did not lay eggs and birds did not.
patted his head, dared to love in the end, and he was still tricked by this old man!
