Chapter 146: Penance in the Mountains
Bai Shu's heart was very warm, he gently hugged Liu Ruoxue, and said with a smile, "Ruoxue, it's good to have you." I will definitely fulfill my promise. ”
Liu Ruoxue nodded, and also said with a smile, "Well, I'll wait for you." ”
At night, the bleak moonlight pours down on the mountains, and everything seems to be shrouded in a thin veil, which looks hazy and mysterious. Occasionally, one or two jackdaws chirped sadly, and the late autumn night always made people feel a little cold.
Inside the cave, a pile of flames was blazing, like an elf dancing wantonly, making the dark cave seem a little dim and bright.
Bai Shu sat on the bed covered with dead grass and fallen leaves, his eyes closed, sometimes frowning, sometimes his lips slightly open. A bead of sweat the size of a bean dripped down his forehead, he and Liu Ruoxue had been in the hills and mountains for five days.
During this time, Bai Jing and Ye Xin'er came once and gave him some ores and materials for carving talismans, but not much, Ye Xin'er herself also needs to improve the realm of the talisman master, now she is a Xuan-level talisman master, she needs to be promoted to a ground-level talisman master during this time, and her spiritual power should also be developing in the direction of the king realm.
Bai Jing wanted to stay, but there was no way, because of the assessment of the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, she and Ye Xin'er were already the most popular figures among the freshmen of the First Academy.
In front of Bai Shu, a yellow rune paper fluttered, and Bai Shu mobilized his spiritual power to control the wonderful brushwork.
Bai Shu didn't have many useful materials around him, only a few ordinary red copper stones and two or three pieces of slightly better quality Thunder Gold.
Thunder Gold is a necessity for carving thunder charms, and it contains strong thunder energy.
Bai Shu controlled the wonderful pen to make flowers, one stroke, one stroke to engrave the runes of the thunder charm, the thunder spell has a total of thirteen strokes, and finally after success, a purple thunder character will be formed.
Although there are only thirteen strokes of the thunder charm, which is much less than the teleportation charm, each stroke of the thunder charm requires a greater amount of mental power, and accurately carves each stroke, no more, no less, there can be no mistakes, besides, the seal carver also needs to endure the impact of the thunder energy in the thunder gold, if not, it will only fail.
"Bang. There was an explosion.
The yellow talisman in front of Bai Shu turned into ashes again, and he was also affected by some of it, the talisman exploded, Bai Shu's hair was messy, his thin and handsome face was covered with dirt, and Bai Shu's whole person looked very embarrassed.
Bai Shu gasped for breath, mobilizing spiritual strength is not only a test of spirit, but also a test of physical strength, especially for a long time, staying still, engrossed in carving talismans, but also a great challenge to the body and mind, if there is no physical strength and patience is impossible to carve out.
"Did you fail again?" Liu Ruoxue sat not far away and asked softly.
Bai Shu didn't answer, as if he hadn't heard, he was thinking about what was wrong.
"What's going on? It's the last stroke?" Bai Shu frowned and said to himself, "However, this is not wrong, whether it is the mobilization of spiritual power or the way of seal carving, I have not done anything wrong, so how can it fail?"
After thinking about it for a long time to no avail, Bai Shu planned to try again.
At this time, Liu Ruoxue stood up and walked over, saying with some distress, "You have tried many times in the past few days, take a good rest, otherwise, you will not be able to bear it." ”
Hearing this, Bai Shu just shook his head and said with a smile, "Ruoxue, I can't hold you back." ”
"Fool. Liu Ruoxue said softly, "I said that I would protect you, no matter whether you can practice in the future or not, I will be your woman." ”
Bai Shu smiled, beckoned, and motioned for Liu Ruoxue to sit down next to him.
Bai Shu smiled, "Ruoxue, I'm a man, I should protect my own woman and make my woman happy and happy, so I can't slack off." ”
Bai Shu secretly said in his heart, "This is a reason, Ruoxue, I still want to take you away from the Liu family." There is another reason, I am going to find my parents. As for the rebel monk, I should not tell you about it yet, so as not to worry about ......."
Liu Ruoxue leaned on Bai Shu's shoulder and said, "But you don't have to work so hard, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, if something goes wrong with you, what do you let me do with Jing'er?"
Bai Shu stroked Liu Ruoxue's long hair, and gently sniffed the faint fragrance emanating from the long hair.
Bai Shu smiled, as if praying, "My good Ruoxue, you let me try again, okay?"
Liu Ruoxue looked at Bai Shu's determined appearance, and knew that she couldn't say anything about Bai Shu, so she had to nod.
"Just once. Liu Ruoxue said softly.
After speaking, Liu Ruoxue stood up, held the long knife in her hand, and walked to the entrance of the cave. At night, you have to be extra careful.
So, Bai Shu regrouped and said to himself, "If it doesn't work once, it will be twice, and if it doesn't work twice, it will be three times...... I've tried no less than ten times, and it's time to get it right once. ”
After speaking, Bai Shu mobilized a strong spiritual power, and the spiritual power was submerged in the wonderful pen flower, the light cyan wonderful brush flower emitted a light cyan light, and the few lotus flowers on it seemed to have survived, swallowing all Bai Shu's spiritual power.
The Wonderful Brush Flower absorbed the thunder energy of the Thunder Gold, and a trace of lightning swam in the Wonderful Brush Flower, like a thin silver snake.
Bai Shu let out a long sigh of relief, calmed down, and a pale yellow rune paper floated in front of Bai Shu.
Bai Shu controlled the wonderful brush, gritted his teeth, and endured the attack of the thunder energy coming to the spirit, this is a very painful thing, the spirit is already weak, even in the real world, it is difficult to withstand the impact of energy, Bai Shu can withstand it, it is the result of his strong endurance of severe pain.
It's like carving an extremely delicate handicraft, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's carved in the hair.
One, two...... Twelve strokes.
Bai Shu slowly carved out the first twelve strokes, and there was no hindrance, but it was somewhat smooth.
"The last one. Bai Shu was a little nervous to control the wonderful pen, but he didn't dare to put down the pen.
"Fang Cai's dozen or so times, all of them went wrong in the last stroke, but I never found out what the problem was......" Bai Shu frowned?
"If it fails again this time, then, perhaps, during this time, it will be impossible to engrave the talisman again. My spirit was tingling, it was a sign of backlash, and if I failed again this time, then my spirit would collapse in a short time. ”
"So, this time it's not just to succeed in carving the talisman, but also to stop the spirit from being counterattacked, so I have to succeed. ”
Liu Ruoxue turned around and saw that Bai Shu was reluctant to write, so she naturally understood that Bai Shu had reached an extremely critical time at this moment.
Bai Shu ...... Brother. You've got to make it, I've been waiting for you. Liu Ruoxue muttered.
Bai Shu calmed down and sorted out his thoughts, there seemed to be nothing strange from the first stroke to the twelfth stroke, and the talisman didn't seem to have changed, so the key was the last step.
"How can you make the thunder melt into a piece of rune paper?" Bai Shu muttered to himself.
Bai Shu endured the severe pain and tried to recall the appearance of the thunder charm in Ye Xin'er's hand at that time, and suddenly, Bai Shu's eyes lit up.
The last stroke of the thunder spell in Xin'er's hand seemed to be deliberately stretched, which was a little different from the picture above. Bai Shu suddenly realized something.
"That last ......," Bai Shu frowned, "it seems to be a symbol like a lightning bolt." ”
"Yes, if you want to integrate the power of thunder into a rune paper, the most important thing is to use symbols, and symbols to refer to thunder. A smile appeared at the corner of Bai Shu's mouth.
So, Bai Shu immediately put down the pen, his heart was beating so hard that he was about to jump out of his throat.
Bai Shu's last stroke was very long, like a long lightning bolt, and finally a long word "thunder" jumped on the rune paper, and a thunder charm lay in Bai Shu's hand.
A smile appeared at the corner of Bai Shu's mouth, "I seem to have succeeded, and besides, this thunder spell seems to be perfect." ”
Liu Ruoxue was also relieved when she saw the thunder charm in Bai Shu's hand.
"Did you succeed?" Liu Ruoxue walked over and handed Bai Shu a handkerchief, "Wipe it, look at your appearance." ”
Bai Shu smiled, took the handkerchief, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and the dirt on his face, and said with a smile, "Ruoxue, I have mastered this thunder spell, and I will be able to have some self-protection ability in the future." ”
Liu Ruoxue nodded, and then said, "But if you want to go to Rock City, it's still a little worse." ”
Hearing this, Bai Shu nodded and said, "So, after I have made some preparations, I will prepare to cultivate the Hundred Forging Body." ”
"Huh?" Liu Ruoxue was a little surprised, shook her head and said, "You can't be in a hurry to cultivate the Hundred Forging Body, I read the description of the Hundred Forging Body, and your cultivation may be a little inappropriate now." ”
"Nope. Bai Shu shook his head, "This is the right time to cultivate the Hundred Forging Body. Now that my cave is shattered and my spiritual power is gone, only this hundred forging body may be my way out, but it is just a little pain, and I can bear it. ”
"But I'll feel sorry......," Liu Ruoxue said with a slightly red face.
Bai Shu's heart warmed, he stepped forward, touched Liu Ruoxue's red face, and said with a slight smile, "Ruoxue, with such a sentence from you, I am satisfied, and I don't want to make you feel distressed, but in order to fulfill my promise to you as soon as possible, I must get out of the predicament and make myself stronger, don't you say?"
Seeing that Liu Ruoxue didn't react, Bai Shu continued, "I'll rest for a few days until I'm ready, so, don't worry, I'll be fine, in the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, didn't I say that I would come back?"
"In the next few days, you will be practicing the Pure Heart Technique with peace of mind. And I will stay by your side and take care of you. ”
"You've taken care of me for so long, it's time for me to come this time. ”
After saying that, Bai Shu hugged Liu Ruoxue in front of him. Liu Ruoxue was startled, and she also stretched out her hand, grabbed Bai Shu's neck, and let the other party ask for it......
The fire not far away seemed to burn more vigorously, the dance of the flames seemed to be more cheerful, and the slow long night seemed to become shorter.
