Chapter 43: Rune Practice
It is difficult to delve into runes, and everyone knows this on the Qinghe Continent.
The difficulty of runes lies in the complexity and obscurity of the structure of these runes derived from ancient texts, just as it is even more difficult to read ancient texts with different sentence patterns and word meanings, and there are often annotations and teachings from Mr. when reading ancient texts, it is difficult to find a teacher who is proficient in runes to teach in today's decline of runes, and it is not difficult to study runes alone in this case.
Ling Qingyun was fortunate that although he did not have a teacher by his side to teach, he had a wordless book that had been with him since he was born, and this book recorded the precious wealth of reading and understanding he had since he was born, including all kinds of languages and scripts.
People's comprehension and memory ability is actually very amazing, not to mention those strong people with extraordinary mental power, ordinary people will see many pictures in a day, a tree, The picture of a flower is actually more complex than thousands of words, although people can't recall all the pictures they saw in a day at any time, but these pictures are actually hidden in the depths of memory, and they will pop up inadvertently, and the role of the wordless book is to store and extract these memories for Ling Qingyun, as Ling Qingyun condenses his mind, all kinds of hieroglyphs and their interpretations gradually emerge on the book, Ling Qingyun compares it with the stone wall, and each time it is compared, the headache runes become more intimate and lively.
"It's a pity that I haven't read enough yet, and I still can't understand a third of the runes, but even then it's much easier to remember than before. Ling Qingyun once again sighed at the magic of the wordless book, and then his heart moved, but he prompted the runes he had memorized to appear on the wordless book one by one, and arranged them according to the stone wall to form the same rune array, the difference was that these runes were no longer crooked, It was crowded, and it became clear and pleasing to the eye in a blink of an eye, Ling Qingyun looked at it with pleasure, and then sat in the Mingyue Gathering Spirit Array again in accordance with the body rune urging method said by the Mingyue monk, and immediately saw that the whole body was clear, and the heart moved slightly, and the spiritual power used the moonlight as ink to draw a trace of no substance between the flesh and blood.
The method of inducing body runes is to immerse the mind in the body and condense the various runes with spiritual power. This is another very painstaking thing, upgrading from literacy to writing, and using the spirit as the pen and the body as the paper, Rao is Ling Qingyun did it intermittently, sometimes he used too much force and the result was a stroke out of bounds, sometimes he thought about it for a lifetime, but it caused the handwriting to become crooked, and the runes suddenly collapsed, so hard for a whole quarter of an hour, until he frowned lightly with anxiety, Ling Qingyun wrote the first rune on his chest, it seemed to float on the surface of his body, and it seemed to be burned on the heart, but the temperature of the surrounding blood rose very slightly, this feeling was very strange。
"It's so difficult to just draw a rune with one stroke, how difficult will it be to instantly condense into a rune array in the middle of a battle?" Ling Qingyun was shocked, wouldn't it take him a whole day to learn this first rune array, let alone use it skillfully? The young man was stunned for a while, but he was quickly dissipated by his fighting spirit.
"Other people's cultivation runes don't have the Bright Moon Gathering Spirit Array as a reference, I have the Bright Moon Gathering Spirit Array and the wordless book, so I have taken a big advantage, how can I give up easily?" Ling Qingyun clenched his fists lightly: "I can't be anxious about this matter, just like reading and reading, I feel extremely difficult when I get started, but behind the door is the sea and the sky!"
With such a mood, Ling Qingyun began to engrave the second rune, it was much easier to engrave the fruit after the first successful experience, and the time was less than half of the first rune, Ling Qingyun was overjoyed, and made persistent efforts, but when he outlined half of the rune array, he could not suppress the mood agitation, and the spiritual power that was originally used as the tip of the pen rippled and spread, but "washed away" the hard-won dozen words!
"Calm down, don't be anxious!" Ling Qingyun hurriedly gathered his mind, refilled the washed runes, and gradually compared them with his memory: "This should be 'blood', the sixteenth character should be 'and', thirty-one words, thirty-two words, which place is 'empty'?"
Between the outlines and supplements, Ling Qingyun gradually understood the artistic conception of the entire rune like reciting an article, and the more he read, the more interesting he felt, and he understood that at this time, he had only just gotten a glimpse of the rune, and the progress became more and more rapid.
It took two full hours like this, even if the Bright Moon Spirit Gathering Array calmed down Ling Qingyun was busy sweating, he finally embedded the last rune in the last position of the array, and then looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, like a magnificent poem, like a famous feng shui painting, in the eyes of others, the inexplicable bunch of patterns the more you look at it, the more mysterious it is.
"It's time to test the results. Ling Qingyun's eyes lit up, and he solemnly injected his spiritual power into the rune array, and under the moonlight, he saw that his spiritual power was like flowing water pouring into the originally dry river, like a fire falling into a pyre, and the runes became brighter and brighter, and the light was shared, and connected into a magnificent painting.
"Ahh......h Ling Qingyun refused to dissolve the runes, and waited until these painful feelings lasted for a few breaths before he felt a burst of hot water flowing through his body, at this time, his whole body was full of strength, and he saw that the rune array on his chest was shining orange-red, absorbing his spiritual power, true qi, and even the surrounding moonlight and the elemental power between heaven and earth, and then channeling these energies throughout his body, making himself enter a state of extremely powerful euphoria.
"The effect of this rune is to boil the bloodline and explode the power?" Ling Qingyun suddenly understood, and couldn't help but stand up, punching, kicking, running, and jumping to test his physical state at this time, for the result, he just shook his head slightly.
"The strength has been improved the most, not only better than in the heyday, but I am afraid that I may not be able to have such power in the Thousand Forgings and Ten Levels, this nature is similar to the Avalanche Mountain Strength used by Lin Qiancheng, but it is not as good as the Avalanche Strength, the predecessors of the Mingyue Monk have not been named, this rune is called the Power Rune. Ling Qingyun muttered to himself, for him, the power rune is not very practical, his biggest advantage is the sharpness of the sword, even the powerhouse of the Golden Body Realm may be injured by his sword, and even if he doubles the strength, his sword blade will not be much sharper, and he will still be completely crushed when encountering a strong enemy like Duan Wenyuan.
And the use of runes is not without a price, consuming a lot of mind and time is the most direct problem, he has heard of this, when the rune master practice makes perfect, the rune array can be achieved in an instant, but this kind of array will eventually have a load on the body and true qi, and the effect will be even worse without the support of the Bright Moon Spirit Gathering Array, this method is simply a tasteless chicken rib for Ling Qingyun, who pursues sharpness.
"I hope the other runes will surprise me. Ling Qingyun looked at the wall full of runes, this was the best way to kill time at the moment, although learning the strength runes did nothing to help him improve his strength, his spiritual power seemed to have been tempered to improve, but it was an unexpected joy.
In fact, compared to the body rune, he was most interested in the spirit rune that could create the Bright Moon Gathering Spirit Array, but according to his estimate, the difficulty of the spirit rune would also be the greatest, and he didn't study it at the moment, so it was better to start with the simplest.
After a short break by means of sword training, Ling Qingyun, who felt refreshed, began to study the next rune array, and many new and unfamiliar runes were presented in front of him.
"Maybe you can deduce the effect of the runes with the wordless book?" Ling Qingyun's mind moved, it was much easier than spending his spiritual power on his own, but after pondering for a while, he couldn't come up with a way, so he had to continue to support himself, and once again sat in the formation to outline a new rune array.
This array has more than twenty runes than the power rune, Ling Qingyun instead completed the comprehension within two hours, this rune takes a similar but different path from the power rune, it is also an amplification, the power rune strengthens the strength of the body, but it speeds up the flow of true qi, and uses part of the power of qi and blood to make up for it, Ling Qingyun tried, only to feel that it was easier to burst out of the sword qi, and the flexibility of his body was affected, which was more suitable for him than the power rune, but it was also a chicken rib.
Ling Qingyun was not annoyed at this time: "These two runes are the easiest in the front, and they must be the least practical, and the real treasure is still behind." ”
With this in mind, Ling Qingyun began to ponder the third rune, and it took two and a half hours to understand and use it, this rune surprised him slightly: it turned out that this rune had no combat power, but it was constantly tempering flesh and blood, dredging the meridians, and it had the effect of refining the body, and its existence would make Ling Qingyun's cultivation more difficult, but there were no other side effects.
This is simply pie in the sky! For a young man who is willing to work hard to cultivate, as long as it is conducive to cultivation, it is not hard at all to put in the effort, and this rune just satisfies this need. Ling Qingyun happily named it the Tempering Rune, and with it, today's penance would not be in vain.
When Ling Qingyun, who was full of interest, began to delve into the fourth rune, he felt extremely tired, and his thoughts were always interrupted unconsciously, and it took him a while before he realized that he was overworked.
"That's right, it's taken more than half a day to study these three runes!" Ling Qingyun pondered, coupled with sword practice and cultivation, he seemed to have not slept for more than twelve hours, although the cultivator was full of energy and his resistance to fatigue was different from ordinary people, but he had to be exhausted after staying up for a day and night, not to mention the extremely laborious work of studying the runes?
"It's just that there is no day or night in this stone hall, and this rune is very profound, and it is natural to indulge in it and not know the passage of time!" Ling Qingyun smiled freely, sat cross-legged and breathed evenly, and his eyelids weighing a thousand pounds quickly closed, causing the overworked teenager to fall into a deep sleep, quickly replenishing the consumed mental energy.
But after a few hours, Ling Qingyun opened his eyes again, his gaze was like a sharp edge, and his eyes were as black as ink, as if all the sides of this stone hall, thousands of runes, were branded.
It was a new day, Ling Qingyun got up with a smile, practiced swords, cultivated, and studied runes, so repeatedly, he didn't feel bored.
