Volume 2 The Chosen Devotional Chapter 54 The Past
After the title of the second round was revealed, the 119 children in the ring began to think quickly.
If the first game of the second round of Xiaobi is to test the children's specialization in the spirit runes, then this second test is whether the children can flexibly apply the spirit runes they have learned.
Everything in the world has a saying that they are mutually reinforcing and mutually reinforcing, and the same is true in the spirit runes.
Aside from the mutual restraint of the five elements spirit runes, there is also magical restraint among the other spirit runes.
For example, when the Heaven and Earth Prison Talisman, which can trap a monk in place, encounters a giant talisman, the cage formed by the spirit rune will increase exponentially to reveal enough gaps for the trapped monk to escape.
For example, in a room with a soundproof note, there is a high chance that the amulet will lose its utility.
There are many other restraints like this, and whether or not they can be found depends on the study of the children and the guidance of the teaching monks.
The monks in the ring re-issued three rune papers to each child, and before the second match began, Hongpu spoke again about some additional conditions:
"First of all, I would like to congratulate you on coming to the second competition of the second round, and you are only one step away from getting the opportunity to compete with the intermediate Immortal Mansion Monarch. I know that more than half of the children present at this time have more than three runes, and you must make good use of these runes. In the case of the same ranking of the children's runes, the more children who use the rune paper will have a greater advantage. ”
Hearing this, many children in the field began to sigh, among them, in order to pursue the perfection of the first rune, when the completion was good enough, in order to be safe, or to draw a new rune, using an extra rune paper.
However, there are some children who don't have so many entanglements and are done after drawing, and they keep one or two more runes of paper when they are crooked.
"I know that many children may have the idea that I didn't explain it beforehand, causing them to waste a precious piece of talisman paper or two. But what I want to say is that you can't just treat this small game as a small game now. Imagine that one day, when you are in trouble, you only have a piece of talisman paper left on you for you to use to get out of danger, will you not cherish that only opportunity at that time? Today's Jade Immortal Realm may give you an incomparably peaceful cultivation environment, but as an excellent monk, you must have a sense of crisis, and only in this way can you go further on the path of cultivation. If you don't want to continue cultivating in the future, then you just don't say anything. ”
Hongpu paused and continued:
"The mist talisman, the monk who found this talisman is named Liu Yu. Once activated, this charm releases a thick mist over a small area, in which the monks can only rely on their ears.
In the past, it was often used by monks to escape, and it quickly escaped to gain a chance of life when confusing the enemy.
Although the hot mist talisman may not seem to be good, its effect is so simple and crude, so next, please make good use of the talisman paper in your hand and draw a spirit talisman that can restrain the mist talisman. The contest time has been shortened to two sticks of incense, so please start your performance!"
The incense in the goose pear tent in the three-legged incense burner spontaneously combusted without wind, and the second competition officially began.
After learning that the rune paper in their hands would have extra points, the children's attitude towards the rune paper became visible to the naked eye.
The children who didn't want to start thinking about it in the first scene began to think about it with frowns.
Shen Wanhui, who was holding a pig's head, had a very calm expression, and his contemplation seemed to make him forget the pain on his face for the time being.
The night before's assault training, to be honest, Shen Wanhui didn't hear much, what he could do now was to find that crucial moment in his memory to draw a spirit rune that could restrain the fog talisman.
At this time, at the judging panel, Ge Tian said to these palace monarchs of the Intermediate Immortal Mansion: "You Mansion Monarchs may wish to mention that in your opinion, there is any good way to fight against the Mist Talisman. ”
The answers of the gentlemen are similar, and can be summarized into three categories:
The first type is the barrier-breaking charm, which was originally intended to break the poisonous barrier in some quagmire swamps. Of course, it is also suitable to use it to break the fog, but this barrier-breaking spirit talisman can only control one's own body, and cannot drive out the fog on a large scale.
The second type is the Qingming Spiritual Talisman, which is used to ignore the fog in front of you, and after using it, you can ignore the fog as the most orthodox anti-fog talisman. It's just that the magic seal of this Qingming Spirit Eye Talisman is too complicated, and it is not a spirit talisman that will be taught to children in the primary immortal cultivation school. So, although this symbol is the answer, it is difficult to use it here.
The third category is much the same as the second, and it is also unlikely that the children present will draw it.
After the time of half a pillar of incense, most of the children started their first attempt, but Zhu Mianmian did not move for a long time.
It's not that she doesn't have a clue about this second scene, on the contrary, at the first moment when the mist talisman came out, Zhu Mianmian thought of a countermeasure to break the fog.
It's just that the moment she got this answer made Zhu Mianmian have to think of some moments that she missed very much and was afraid to miss.
"Mother, what are you doing?" asked Zhu Mianmian, who had two cute pigtails, through the crack in the door.
At this time, Zhu Zhu was smiling like a flower, she didn't realize that such a simple and warm life would be gone forever.
"Mianmian, my mother is refining that delicious colored balls for you!" Zhu Zhu explained to Zhu Mianmian while controlling the Dan furnace.
Zhu Mianmian's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "Really, then I want to eat two more!"
"No, you can only eat one a day!" Zhu Zhu said as he controlled the fire, looking a little struggling.
Zhu Zhu also just started refining the five-color Bigu Pill that has been passed down to this family, normally speaking, there should be more than a dozen Cheng Dan pills in a furnace of pills, but I don't know which refining link went wrong, or if the proficiency is not enough. Every time, Zhu Zhu could only refine a single-digit Cheng Dan.
Zhu Zhu fell into thinking for a while, and the fire in the Dan furnace instantly skyrocketed, announcing the failure of her alchemy.
Billowing black smoke poured out of the Dan furnace, and soon poured through the crack in the door into the cave.
Zhu Mianmian screamed loudly: "Ah, it's burning, it's burning..."
After a while, the black smoke in the Dan furnace was covered with the entire cave mansion, and Zhu Zhu had no intention of dealing with the black smoke at this time, she was only afraid that Zhu Mianmian would run around in this black smoke and accidentally hit somewhere.
"Mianmian, don't run around, stand where you are, and your mother will look for you. Don't run around!"
"Mother, I'm here," Zhu Mianmian shouted loudly, and the thick black smoke made her unable to open her eyes, so she could only grab the things around her and squat in place.
Zhu Zhu searched for the sound to find Zhu Mianmian, who was frightened and didn't dare to open his eyes, and after calming down, he took out a spirit rune from the storage bracelet, activated it and threw it forward.
In the black smoke, I saw a green light flashing, and a strange wind hung in the cave, this wind seemed to have no strength when it passed through all the things in the cave, but it could take away the billowing black smoke in the cave.
The black smoke gradually dissipated, and Zhu Zhu sat in place with this Zhu Mianmian in his arms, and it took a long time for Zhu Mianmian to stop crying.
When she opened her eyes and saw Zhu Zhu for the first time, Zhu Mianmian thought that she had recognized the wrong person, and the mother in front of her was full of darkness, and the words in her throat couldn't be said for a while.
"Mother, why are you so dark?" Zhu Mianmian thought for a long time before asking.
"You're also a little black cat!" Zhu Zhu scratched Zhu Mianmian's nose and carried her to the bronze mirror, Zhu Mianmian looked at the black self in the bronze mirror and screamed and covered her eyes.
"Ah, how can Mianmian be so dark! It's all my mother's fault, my mother made me a carbon head!"
Zhu Mianmian shouted and cried, which made Zhu Zhu laugh more than once.
Thinking of this, Zhu Mianmian also drew the last stroke of the spirit rune.
This spirit rune is actually not very useful, even if the immortal master who teaches the spirit rune in the immortal mansion talks about this rune, it is only passing by.
But Zhu Mianmian remembers this charm deeply because of her childhood memories.
This talisman is called the Dongfeng talisman, and according to legend, it was discovered by a monk surnamed Zhuge before the end of the Dharma era.
When activated, the East Wind Charm can bring a gust of east wind, which is not as powerful as some Wind Blade runes, but it has the miraculous effect of dispelling smoke and mist.
After the Dongfeng rune was completed, Zhu Mianmian immediately raised his hand to signal to the monk on the side that he could submit the spirit rune.
At this time, all the children were still immersed in drawing talismans, and some of the children had already placed two or three completed talismans on their bookcases.
However, these children always felt that the spirit runes that had been completed seemed to be something missing, so they didn't raise their hands for a long time.
Some Tong Sheng, who saw Zhu Mianmian just draw a spirit rune and submitted it, thought in their hearts that such a spirit rune could enter the master's magic eye, it was really blind.
On the stand of the judging group, Shao Siyuan looked at Zhu Mianmian, who was the first to submit the spirit rune, and also felt that she was a little in a hurry, why didn't she think about the second spirit rune?
They didn't know that Zhu Mianmian was in love at this time, and if he looked at the spirit rune in his hand a few more times, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but cry.
Zhu Mianmian didn't want a group of outsiders to see her embarrassed appearance on such an occasion.
The last bit of incense ash fell from the goose pear tent in the three-legged incense burner, and all the children also submitted the completed spirit talisman on time.
The judge is only Ge Tian, so this time the process will be a little long, and each child can go down to rest first, just wait for Ge Tian to list the top sixteen children who have been promoted, and then come out to listen to the results.
Ge Tian looked at the various spirit runes submitted by the children, sometimes shaking his head in disappointment because of the children's wrong response, sometimes smiling with satisfaction when he saw the spirit runes possessed by the form god, sometimes looking at the spirit runes scribbled together in his hands and frowning in confusion, and sometimes frowning when he saw the slightly new spirit runes.
However, obviously, most of the children followed the idea of the barrier-breaking talisman, and at this time, Ge Tian paid attention to the advantages and disadvantages of the spirit talisman itself.
