In the dark underground quiet room, Duan Chen sat cross-legged, his fingers flickering, constantly depicting incomparably fine and complex lines in the void.

"No, the pattern here should be painted like this. ”

"Well, that's it. ”

Copying and drawing again and again, and revising again and again, also allowed Duan Chen to gradually master some tricks of copying, and the drawing speed became faster and faster, and the number of mistakes became less and less.

"It's done. ”

Half an hour later, a pattern drawn entirely by spiritual power appeared in mid-air, glittering.

"Strange, the pattern I copied is obviously exactly the same as the first pattern of Shanhe Ding, why is there no natural rhyme at all?

Duan Chen's eyes stared at the weapon pattern in mid-air, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes: "The first weapon pattern of the Mountains and Rivers Ding gives me the feeling that it is natural, containing a breath of simplicity, and the pattern I copied has nothing, as if it is a dead thing." ”

“...... Anyway, copy it a few more times and see if there are any new changes. ”

Thinking of this, Duan Chen once again re-copied it with reference to the first weapon pattern that appeared on the mountain and river tripod.

However, after copying again and again, observing again and again, Duan Chen finally found that no matter how many times he copied it, the patterns that were copied were formless.

"I feel that every time I copy the pattern is exactly the same as the first pattern of the mountains and rivers, why is there no natural rhyme?"

"Could it be that I made a mistake in the way I copied?"

"Maybe this first weapon pattern really contains some kind of mystery about the operation of heaven and earth, and it is impossible to completely copy it without comprehension?"

Duan Chen secretly guessed that this was like the same landscape painting, some painters painted it with spirituality, while some painters painted it ordinary.

"But I can't even understand this first instrument pattern, and I can't copy the natural Taoist rhyme contained in it, how can I understand it?"

Duan Chen stared at the first weapon pattern on the top of the mountains and rivers, and gradually fell into deep thought.

"Huh?"

Looking at it, Duan Chen suddenly woke up: "I understand, the first weight of this mountain and river tripod is completely integrated, so when copying, it must also be done in one go, and this first weight weapon pattern must be completely copied in one stroke, and there can be no pause in between." ”

At this moment, Duan Chen's eyes were fixed on the mountains and rivers, and he continued to copy.

However, it is extremely difficult to copy the entire first-weight weapon pattern in one stroke, and there can be no pause in the middle, even if Duan Chen had experience in drawing runes before, he has failed again and again, and has failed dozens of times in succession, but he has not succeeded once.

But he wasn't discouraged at all.

Because he knew very well that runes were just words, and it was not difficult to write them all in one stroke without interruption.

However, the pattern of the mountains and rivers is like a painting, and if you want to finish it without interruption, the difficulty is much higher than writing words, and it is natural to fail dozens of times.

And these dozens of failures, not all without gain, at least every time he copied the pattern, it is more complete than before, I believe that as long as he continues to copy and try, and continues to improve, he will definitely be able to draw the first heavy pattern of mountains and rivers with one stroke.

It's a stupid idea, and there's no trick to it, practice makes perfect.

If it doesn't work to copy it once, then copy it ten times, and if it doesn't work ten times, then copy it a hundred times, a thousand times.

There will always be a success.

"I still have the experience of practicing the way of runes to learn from, if I am replaced by an inexperienced person to copy this first weapon pattern, I am afraid it will not be possible to copy it successfully for half a year, let alone half a month. ”

Duan Chen stared at the first weapon pattern that appeared on the surface of the mountain and river ding, trying to copy it again and again, even if he failed halfway, his emotions did not fluctuate in the slightest, because he had long been accustomed to this feeling of failure when he practiced the way of runes in the past.

Even if he failed dozens or even hundreds of times, he was still unmoved.

"Phew, I have failed a thousand times, but I haven't succeeded once. ”

"That's right, this first weight pattern is so complicated, if you want to draw it in one stroke, how can you succeed without experiencing thousands of failures?" Duan Chen's expression calmed down and continued to try to copy.

Again and again, again and again, again and again, again and again, again and again.

In this state of constant failure and continuous attempt, seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Mountains and rivers are boundless, containing the world of caves, vast and vast.

And on one of the islands, the black-robed Seven Demon Lords were sitting cross-legged on an altar, and across from him was a white-robed mountain and river tripod spirit.

"Seven Demon Lords, it seems that you still think too highly of him, for half a month, and without your guidance, it is impossible for him to understand the first weapon pattern of this mountain and river tripod. The Heaven Locking Temple Instrument Spirit shook his head and said. Literature Great

"Don't worry, it's only been seven days, isn't it half a month?"

The Seven Demon Lords looked at the void from afar, as if they could see through the void, through the mountains and rivers, Duan Chen, who was copying the first weapon pattern from the outside world.

Whether it is the Locking Heaven Hall Instrument Spirit or the Seven Dead Demon Lords, their understanding of the Cave Heaven Spirit Treasure is far beyond ordinary people, after all, they are all instrument spirits now, especially the Seven Dead Demon Lords, the mountains and rivers are like the flesh of a monk to him, and he naturally knows it very well.

It can even be said that in addition to the first generation of Shanhe Ding Weapon Spirits who have been destroyed, the Seven Demon Lords are definitely the people who know the most about Shanhe Ding in this world.

"You're really powerful, I've never heard of someone who can take away the Heavenly Spirit Treasure of the Cave. The Heaven Locking Temple Instrument Spirit sighed.

The Seven Demon Lords shook their heads and smiled: "What's the use of being powerful, it is against the rules of the operation of the Heavenly Dao to take away the Heavenly Spirit Treasure of the Cave by flesh and blood creatures, not only is it extremely risky, but also extremely difficult, and I also relied on the high realm of the year to dare to give it a try." ”

The Heaven Locking Temple Instrument Spirit nodded.

At their level, looking at the problem is no longer simply looking at the essence through the phenomenon, but starting from the aspect of the rules of the operation of the Heavenly Dao.

Things that go against the rules of heaven are destined to be jealous of heaven.

For example, if a monk breaks through the Jindan from the foundation building, and then breaks through the Yuanying from the Jindan, he must survive the Heavenly Tribulation, and for example, the Seven Demon Lords seize the Heavenly Spirit Treasure of the Cave, which is all against the rules of the Heavenly Dao, and is destined to pay a price.

And this price is likely to be his own life.

"Actually, it's not bad to become the instrument spirit of the Dongtian Spirit Treasure, at least there is no restriction on longevity from now on, why do you have to do everything possible to find a way to get rid of the shackles of the mountains and rivers?" ”

"The bird knows the ambition of the bird. The Seven Demon Lords glanced at the Heavenly Temple Weapon Spirit and said: "And no matter how powerful the weapon is, it will be controlled and enslaved by others, you have been a weapon spirit since you were born, and you are naturally used to this kind of life, but I can't accept it." ”

"That's right, you're a demon, so naturally you can't accept being controlled by others. The Heaven Locking Temple Instrument Spirit nodded, and then changed the conversation and said, "By the way, since you are so confident in this kid, why don't we make a bet?"

"What kind of bet?" the Seven Demon Lords suddenly became interested.

"Just bet on whether this kid can understand the first weapon pattern of this mountain and river tripod within half a month. ”

The Heaven Locking Temple Instrument Spirit smiled: "If he fails, you have to show me how to step into the Cave Heaven Realm, and if he succeeds, then I will agree to your previous request, how about it?"

"Oh, are you sure you won?" the Seven Demon Lords looked at the Heaven Locking Hall Artifact Spirit with a smirk on his face.

The Heavenly Lock Temple Qi Ling said: "Ten percent is not sure, but it is estimated that there are seven or eight percent, it depends on whether you dare to bet with me." ”

"I'll take this bet. The Seven Demon Lords smiled: "You don't think you've won, although the time of half a month is a little tight, he is not without hope of understanding this first weapon pattern." Of course, if he can't understand it and fails, he can only blame him for not understanding enough, and blame me for looking away. ”

"Then it's a word. "Lock the Heaven Palace: "Now that seven days have passed, he still has eight days, if he still can't understand the first weapon pattern of the mountains and rivers within eight days, you can't regret it at that time." ”

"Naturally. The Seven Demon Lords nodded, then got up from the altar and said, "I still have some things to do, and you can call me again in eight days." ”

Before he could finish speaking, his figure disappeared from the altar.

"Hmph, he didn't have a clue in seven days, and in the remaining eight days, he was able to understand that there was a ghost in the first weapon pattern. Looking at the location where the Seven Demon Lords had disappeared, the Heaven Locking Temple Instrument Spirit snorted coldly, and then silently continued to pay attention to Duan Chen's every move.

Duan Chen naturally didn't know about the gamble between the Heaven Locking Temple Instrument Spirit and the Seven Demon Lords.

At this time, he was still trying to copy the first weapon pattern of the mountains and rivers.

And seven days doesn't seem like a long time, but for Duan Chen, it seems like a few years have passed.

In these seven days, he referred to the first instrument pattern of Shanhe Ding, and copied a total of tens of thousands of times without sleep, although these tens of thousands of times of copying failed, but intersected with the first copy, he can now almost completely draw the entire pattern.

"In seven days, I copied the pattern 10,000 times, and I felt that I could already paint the whole pattern in one stroke. Duan Chen stared at the void in front of him with a calm face, raised his finger, and continued to copy.

Time passes slowly......

"Hum!" Duan Chen, who was originally sitting in the underground quiet room, suddenly showed a hint of excitement in his eyes, staring at the weapon patterns in the void that seemed to be a complete one.

"Haha, I just felt like I was about to succeed, but I didn't expect it to be successful. ”

Looking at the first instrument pattern he had drawn, feeling a kind of natural Dao rhyme contained in the entire instrument pattern, Duan Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seven days of sleepless work, repeated tens of thousands of times without success, resulting in him looking calm on the surface, but also a trace of tension and pressure in his heart.

He was also afraid that he had gone the wrong way and wasted seven days in vain.

Fortunately, it turned out that his thinking was not wrong, and he succeeded.

"Tens of thousands of copies, although it only took seven days, but seven consecutive days of sleepless copying tens of thousands of times, I feel as if years have passed, if I hadn't been persistent, always believing in myself, I'm afraid I would have given up a long time ago. ”

Duan Chen was happy in his heart: "Fortunately, I persevered and succeeded." ”
