Chapter 237: Refining New Spells (Thanks to the Silver Alliance of the Little Bird Alliance Leader)
The Exorcist Qualification Auction held on the Flying Fish Lady's ship lasted until dusk the next day. The heroes who came to the auction with gold, silver and jewels scattered half of their possessions on the ship.
Lei Changye's wave not only recovered all the money lost in the reconstruction of Huichuan City and the modification of the Flying Fish Lady's ship, but also made a profit of 1,000%.
However, Lei Changye was still not satisfied with looking at the big players in the city. Since the money is left, people simply stay.
The reason why he decided to occupy Aikawa Castle in the first place was to establish a base for sustainable development here. This requires big players and underworld masters from all over the world to be willing to work here every day.
In order for Aikawa Castle to develop into a thriving metropolis, it is necessary to continuously develop its potential value. After the witch beast frenzy, the witch beast herd in the deep mountains of the Southern Witch Country was devastated. The risk factor of going deep into Daze is also much lower.
And the treasures of the ancient witch clan hidden in the depths of the mountains of the Southern Wu Kingdom have also been unveiled because of this. Lei Changye hopes to develop Huichuan City in the direction of the adventurer's paradise, relying on the treasures of the secret realm controlled by the twelve yamen in the Southern Wu Kingdom to nourish this emerging city little by little.
Of course, harvesting these treasures in the secret realm also requires the establishment of a sustainable industrial chain, and it is not possible to rely on hanging red and bounties alone to drive the people of the Martial Alliance to go out on an adventure. At this point, Lei Changye had to consult Wu Daozi.
"The treasure of the Wu Clan?" Hearing Lei Changye's inquiry, Wu Daozi suddenly showed a fascinated expression, "The ancient Wu Clan was dominant, and there were countless powerful people. At that time, no one had invented any cultivation methods, and they all relied on the Wu clan to cultivate by instinct. Even so, they were still full of talents, which showed that at that time, there were many exotic flowers and plants and innate treasures between heaven and earth, which could help the Wu clan temper the Tao. ”
"So the medicinal herbs of the year still exist in the Southern Wu Kingdom?" Lei Changye hurriedly asked.
"Oh, it's hard. At that time, the desolate atmosphere between heaven and earth was strong, suitable for the generation of rare medicinal herbs and innate treasures, but for example, the breath of heaven and earth is very different, and in tens of thousands of years, even the witch clan has evolved into a human race, not to mention those herbs and exotic treasures that are violently affected by the breath of heaven and earth. Wu Daozi shook his head with affection.
"In this way, those deep mountains and Daze that the Twelve Yamen are holding on to are actually just the useless relics of the ancient witch clan?" Lei Changye sighed helplessly.
"The same cannot be said. Wu Daozi suddenly came to his senses, and a smile appeared on his face, "Many innate treasures and rare medicinal herbs will change when the climate changes. But if the climate returns to its original state, they will still change back to their original state. ”
"Oh, and this is the case?" Lei Changye was surprised. Wu Daozi said that the ancient desolate qi, could it be that it turned out to be immortal qi?
"Hehe, did you really think of it?" Wu Daozi took out the clone of the Mountains and Rivers Immortal Hidden Map from his arms, enlarged the map, pointed to the Immortal Mountain Cave Mansion inside, and said, "The breath of these places is very similar to the ancient desolate qi. It is the ideal place for us cultivators to practice. If you pick up the precious herbs and natural treasures and put them here to cultivate, maybe you can ......"
When Wu Daozi said this, he squeezed his eyes at Lei Changye.
"I see...... Lei Changye suddenly realized that he couldn't help but slap his face.
"Moreover, many 10,000-year-old witch beasts have survived to this day and successfully reproduced, and some of the herbs and exotic treasures of the ancient witch world have maintained their original appearance like witch beasts. This is also the reason why the Twelve Yamen stubbornly guarded the Nanwu Cave Mansion and did not let any other cultivators get involved. If you look at how many great witches have been produced in the Twelve Yamen for hundreds of years, you will know the beauty of these things. Wu Daozi shook his head and said.
"So, these things are enough to lure treasure hunters on an expedition, right?" asked Lei Changye.
"Of course, if you ask for priceless treasures, bury your bones in Cangshan, think of the elixir, and sacrifice your life in the Southern Wu Kingdom, when I was a child, this ballad has spread all over the world. Wu Daozi said with a smile, "I don't know how many people were fascinated by Nanwu Country back then. It's a pity that in addition to the obstruction of the twelve yamen, the 10,000-year enchantment of the Southern Wu Kingdom is also an obstacle, and anyone who enters the cave mansion of the Southern Wu Kingdom will inevitably face the doom of losing half of their power unless they are recognized by the witch beasts. ”
"No wonder the Twelve Yamen were able to successfully defend the Cave Mansion of the Southern Wu Kingdom, they are the ones who are recognized by the witch beasts. When Lei Changye said this, he suddenly thought of something.
"The relationship between the Witch King and the King of Witchcraft is extraordinary. Their relationship was similar to that between the kings of Zhou and the princes. The witch beasts believe that their territory is under the protection of generations of witch kings. Wu Daozi said in a deep voice.
"However, now the barrier has been opened on the front line of Aikawa Castle. Lei Changye said suddenly.
"Hmm...... Indeed it is. Wu Daozi's eyes lit up.
"Old Wu, look, if I take back those mutated herbs and exotic treasures, how many will you recognize?" asked Lei Changye.
"Since I arrived at the Great Nine Rank and got the Apocalypse, I do know a lot of things about the ancient lich world that mortals don't know. However, if I want to make sure that I recognize a specific herb or a strange treasure, I can't do anything, after all, I haven't personally experienced that era. Wu Daozi thought as he spoke, obviously thinking of something.
Lei Changye looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to say what he said next.
"However, the impression of the witch world in the apocalypse seems to be a distinct feature of the witch era...... "Wu Daozi recalled vigorously.
"What are the distinguishing features?" asked Lei Changye.
"It's just a strange look. Wu Daozi said.
"......" Lei Changye closed his mouth. This is also too general.
"The things in the world of witches, soaked in the desolate atmosphere, must be of a peculiar shape, even if the form of existence is changed, the appearance will retain the appearance of the era of witches, as for the specific appearance, no one knows. Wu Daozi spread his hands.
"I figured out how to get it. Lei Changye rubbed his hands excitedly, he thought of an idea.
In the ship's owner's room, Lei Changye once again opened the transcription of Mozi's Five Elements that he hadn't read for a long time. This time, he turned to the chapter that contained a similar description of the bean-sprinkling talisman, which recorded the art of paper-cutting. Paper-cutting adult art and bean-sprinkling into a soldier talisman have the same effect, both of which are unique magic or Taoism to borrow ghosts from Yin Si to adulthood.
However, the bean-sprinkling talisman produced by the soldiers were all real soldiers, while the paper-cutting adult art produced all paper people. The paper-cutting adult technique in Mozi's Five Elements is not like the bean-sprinkling talisman that has a time limit for writing talismans, and you can cut paper and cast spells at any time. If used in conjunction with the Ghost Realm Spirit Array, it will invite a fierce ghost to do things for the caster.
However, these things are basically not visible, Mozi in the account, repeatedly told the reader not to use this technique lightly, so as not to make mistakes, there are also records in the history books from time to time to drive a hundred ghosts with paper-cutting, and then because of the immorality of the hundred ghosts killed by the monks.
Lei Changye has been thinking about whether the paper-cutting adult technique needs to really invite ghosts. Because this is not like sprinkling beans into a military talisman, you need an image of a ghost mansion general to pour into the soybeans. From the beginning to the end, the paper-cutting adult technique can only generate paper people. With the characteristics of his divine consciousness that can be thousands, should he maximize the advantages of his divine consciousness clone through paper manipulation?
Lei Changye carefully read the paper-cutting adult technique in Mozi's Five Elements again. He suddenly found that the paper-cut adult technique in this book did not write that this spell would invite ghosts to put on paper, but only repeatedly emphasized that this Dao technique must be combined with the Ghost Realm Spirit Array to have an effect. If you look at this spell alone, it turns out to be a useless spell that doesn't have any casting effect written.
He hurriedly went to the patriarch's annotation to look for clues. The Master seemed to be interested in this spell that had no effect on its own, and wrote in detail about his attempts several times.
He believed that the effectiveness of the paper-cutting adult technique was too weak after casting, and he could not summon the ghost mansion yin spirit, but would make his consciousness unstable. Only after activating the Ghost Realm Spirit Array can the desired effect be achieved.
However, he repeatedly emphasized in his notes that even if he used the Ghost Realm Spirit Array, this technique did not seem to be particularly effective, and the invited fierce ghosts could only stay for a while and return to the Ghost Mansion, and there were very few things they could do.
It was precisely because of these records that Lei Changye listed the paper-cutting technique in the appendix, and did not regard it as a valuable Taoism.
However, today, he looked at these records with the intention of seeking a divine consciousness clone, and was immediately attracted by the words of the head of the house, "the divine consciousness is unstable". The spirit of the head of the house is so vigorous that he can actually say words that are unstable. Could it be that this paper-cutting technique can actually promote the differentiation of people's divine consciousness?
Lei Changye reread the original manuscript again. In the original text of Mozi's Five Elements, there is a saying that "the wonderful law is in the heart, and the part is fate". He originally thought that this sentence was just an ordinary modification to describe the Dao. However, the phrase "fate is fate", coupled with the comment of the head of the house "unstable consciousness", made him feel that this paper figure technique seemed to have another mystery.
Could it be that this spell is for cultivators with strong divine sense?
Lei Changye touched his bald head, he felt that he really looked like a destined person.
He was determined to give it a try and see what the effect really looked like.
He found some seven-colored paper in the shipowner's room, and Pai Yin brought a piece of bluestone from Huichuan Castle, and then found a table with paper, pens and ink on it, and placed it in the east corner of the room.
At midnight, he stacked the seven-colored paper together, glued it up, and cut it into paper figures, seven inches high, and cut out a total of forty-nine people, and when all the paper figures were cut, he blew the table, covering all the paper figures, and at the same time chanted the mantra in his mouth: "Void Spirit, Taishang Yuqing, help the needy, cut paper into essence, three souls to the left, seven spirits to the right, get up quickly, obey my law." ”
There was a soft pop, and all the forty-nine paper figures lying on the table stood up. In the dead of night, this movement startled Lei Changye, and he hurriedly took a step back.
The forty-nine paper figures on the table were similar to his movements, all of them taking a big step backwards before falling to the ground with a crackle.
"It's done!" Lei Changye was overjoyed and slapped his knee hard.
