24 The layman leads the inward path of asceticism
In this way, Shen Yu's boring life began: he went to Baiwen Pavilion to read in the morning, occasionally used the stove to refine medicine, and the rest of the time was devoted to more boring spiritual power carving wood activities.
After building the foundation, he can release his spiritual energy, but he can't use his spiritual power to break the wood in front of him. His goal was to use a sharp wisp of metallic spiritual power to turn a fist-sized log in front of him into a statue drawn on the drawing in front of him.
In this way, Shen Yu worked hard for several days, but he could only chop the wood in half. He's frustrated, he's here to carve, not to chop wood!
He wanted to use the dagger. The aura that comes out is like smoke in the kitchen, and if you don't carelessly, you will be confused and embarrassed, but when you want to catch it, you will naughtily avoid your fingers.
Control, he thought he was already very good at control, but really getting started, it was easier said than done!
Even in his mother's memory, he had no experience in this area, Shen Yu only thought that his cultivation method was different from others, and he never thought that for low-level cultivators, this kind of cultivation direction of Mei Yan was even rarer.
Mei Yan completely used the ascetic method of the sword master to ask Shen Yu to be a spell cultivator.
She didn't know how to do magic, so she couldn't teach him all the details, but Mei Yan knew when to inspire the child, and when to stop him from thinking and bring him back to the right path.
Shen Yu was like a swaggering qigong master in the mortal world, with ten fingers of his hands forming claws, and between the palms of his two palms, he pulled a tenacious spiritual silk thread, and at the same time his eyes were staring at the piece of wood, trying to touch it with this silk thread.
But every time it touched the wood, the thread quickly burst open, melted, and exploded a cloud of black smoke on the wood!
Shen Yu refused to admit defeat, this silk thread is a basic spell, a spiritual power silk condensed from a single attribute, and this one in his hand is twisted from several strands of metal.
But the spiritual power thread is not a real object after all, and it will explode if it is not controlled well! The balance in this is all under the control of the caster, just like many basic spells, it has the characteristics of being easy to learn and difficult to master.
Although there were drawings beside him, he didn't even look at them, because he was already familiar with the simple shape, and the filaments of spiritual power that could be manipulated at will were nervously grasped in his hands by him, staring at the edge of the wood and cutting through.
This time he finally succeeded in inserting the filament into the wood, but as soon as he raised his hand and wanted to cut it, the thread accidentally came off, and the stake was split in half again.
"Smack. Two halves of wood fell on the table, and Shen Yu exhaled and leaned back in his chair. His eyes were already sore and he stopped now, and quickly closed his eyes and reminisced about the moment he was about to succeed.
Just as he will fly away with a flying sword, the control of spells needs to be measured. My current mind is too easily shaken, and if you don't focus a little, you will lose control of your spiritual power.
He held his forehead and raised his attention, what else could he do? Mei Yan came to him like rain in time as if he saw his troubles.
Mei Yan helped him rub his temples from behind, "Kid, you're not me, why do you want to learn from me? You don't have a flying sword in your hand, and you don't just have metal to use." β
"Always start with one attribute. Shen Yu opened his bloodshot eyes.
It's really stubborn and cute, but Mei Yan still wants to try her best to guide the apprentice, instead of forcing him to listen to herself.
However, this kid seems to be very easy to drill the horns! Mei Yan thought for a moment, took out a handkerchief, and blindfolded him.
βοΌοΌβ
"I can't see anything, Master. It was suddenly dark, but he didn't dare to resist.
"Indeed, spiritual power is out of the body, it is difficult for you to control, and you must come one by one in order to become familiar with the nature of each attribute. However, you can perceive and use at the same time. β
"By the way, we can only truly resist the sword after we cultivate our swords. Before that, it was necessary to use the entire foundation building period to raise the sword. β
"The principle is the same, first perceive and carefully understand what you are going to use later. β
She placed the log in his hand, "It's wood, it has the power of living beings. You can't see it, but you should be able to perceive its shape nowβit might be tiring, but try to hold on, it's good for your soul. β
"Spirits?"
"Well, everyone has a divine soul, and it was very weak and weak at first, and it didn't condense into an entity until the Yuan Infant Stage. β
"The power of the divine soul has always been in you. Give it a try. She let go of Shen Yu's hand and patted him on the shoulder.
Mei Yan's own spiritual root is crippled, and she has no ability to perceive, unable to resonate with anything other than metallic. Her divine soul abilities were all cultivated through sword raising.
For this apprentice whose talent is very different from her own, she can only try her best to guide, because she can't teach him by hand at all! At this point, she is still very guilty, and even thinks, is it a different spirit to teach him?
However, Shen Yu seemed to have been inspired by something, holding the piece of wood, and was thoughtfully stunned for a long time.
No longer staring in vain, Shen Yu's mood also relaxed. After emptying his head for a while, he changed his mind to sense the wood in his hand, and soon he knew the internal structure of the wood inside out.
He could know where the piece of wood had wormholes and induration, and combined with the shape of the parts he wanted, he found that some parts needed to be cut off, and some places needed to be rebuilt.
Hmmm, more? He was keenly aware that something was wrong.
Sure enough, this task is not something that can be solved by a simple and rough cut. Could it be that I can also control this "wood" in my hand?
He hadn't used the wood attribute yet, but in his mother's memory, he was very familiar with the wood and water attribute.
That kind of mild nature can be easily felt, like an old friend who has not been seen for a long time, when we meet again, shake hands gently, and a few words of greeting will not be sparse.
Soon, the wood attribute spiritual power in his body resonated with this piece of wood. The vigorous flow of energy poured into it, and this time there was no destructive power, and he saw a point, and the perception focused there, directing the wood attribute to grow from there.
When he opened his eyes, he found a young shoot in that place.
"......?" "Doesn't seem right?"
Shen Yu took off the blindfolded cloth in a daze, looking at the young shoot that was stupidly waving two leaves at him. Mei Yan was peeking in front of the window and couldn't help but laugh earth-shatteringly.
"What's going on?"
"Haven't you read the Five Elements Principle these days?" Mei Yan laughed breathlessly, why is his apprentice so iron-headed!
"I told you, there is no way to use a single attribute, otherwise why is the Heavenly Remnant Spirit Root crippled?" Mei Yan laughed so hard that her stomach hurt, "The single wood attribute only has the function of giving birth and healing. Without mutual restraint, how can spiritual power be stable?"
Shen Yu turned over and looked at the piece of wood in his hand carefully, it was not a seed, no matter how you looked at it, it had no potential to sprout. But in fact, this is how this happened, and it was not at all as casual as he thought of "a piece of wood bulging up".
"Receiving the pure wood attributes, dead wood can also be spring, not to mention that this is just a piece of willow wood that I cut off casually. Mei Yan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and waved to him from afar: "Keep up the good work, baby!"
This is almost broken, just look at how the child understands and how to practice. The study of magic is such a path of exploration!
Back in the Huxin Pavilion, Mei Yan continued to send spiritual messages to Lingzhao. In the past few days when Shen Yu started carving wood, she and Ling Zhao had already quarreled several times about Shen Yu's cultivation content.
"Zhiwei has a good talent, and he can really start practicing complex spells. "This is sent by Lingzhao Zhenren today, and by the way, I brought a copy of "The Principle of Three-Attribute Spell Construction".
- This book requires a slightly higher reading privilege, Shen Yu was taught by the master, has always been down-to-earth, and has not read it yet.
Mei Yan watched Shen Yu work hard with his eyes closed in the room, and at the same time put away the book with an expressionless face, and gave Ling Zhao a resolute spiritual message.
"No, spiritual manipulation should be practiced from an early age. You all have this problem in Fa cultivation, whoever is good at learning whom, and if you practice a powerful move, you will feel that you are invincible in the world. Can my disciple be the same as everyone else? β
Mei Yan means that children's thinking is the most divergent, and they cannot be bound by the experience of their predecessors early!
Isn't it true that no matter how powerful a spell is, it is created by people? It's like playing with mud, and your own children are still a blank canvas, so you don't have to enter other people's rules and regulations so early.
That's why they quarreled.
"Senior sister, the control power will naturally go up after the advancement, what is there to practice? To really improve the combat effectiveness, it is really better to practice a technique as soon as possible. β
"Come on, are you qualified to say this? Now that you're a merger, I'm a god, can you try a fight with me?"
Lingzhao was silent for a moment. Mei Yan's leapfrog challenge relies on more than just divine weapons. The ghostly body, the exquisite sword skills, and the control of the flying sword, each of which made her a high-end assassin, and he didn't want to be bored.
He avoided the edge.
"The five elements are born together, the attributes are mutually restrained, and there are ready-made laws to follow, and these are the functions of the law. If you let him explore on his own, what kind of fame can he explore? There are so many Lingshan spells, and the more he learns, the more he will be able to touch the bypass. β
Lingzhao Zhenren is a theoretical school, and his suggestion made Mei Yan hesitate for a moment.
However, looking at what Shen Yu was doing, she still refused.
"No, he's touched the doorway now, and you are not allowed to interfere with him. Remember, he's my apprentice, not yours!"
Most of the monks of the older generation like to send text messages, but between the lines of the two of them, they are full of gunpowder!
Lingzhao Zhenren reluctantly admitted that this talented junior, under the leadership of a certain rough woman, had embarked on a downright path of penance.
He was still counting on this kid to refresh the speed at which he could learn the spells!But now, it was all up to him to comprehend the compound spells, how long would it take him to comprehend the compound spells? He would have to try for a long time to comprehend even the most basic principle of symbiosis and stability, right?
Mei Yan has completely abandoned vanity in cultivating children. A child is a seed, and when there is enough sunshine, rain and dew, you only need to give patience and time to bloom the most beautiful flowers.
He believed that the child could surprise her, just as he was obsessed with dispensing himself with medicine.
In fact, he comprehended it faster than the two of them had thought - only seven days!
Native wood, pure wood, can only promote its own vitality, and only by combining some mutualistic attributes can it truly achieve the purpose of "shaping".
Seven days later, the wooden stake in Shen Yu's hand already had the rudimentary shape of the rough part.
