Chapter 247: Fighting for the Spirit Yuan
According to the meaning of the other four prison judges, Xu Dong won Honglie, but Yun Zhongzi tried to be fair and insisted on a tie between the two of them
Now Yun Zhongzi announced a break for a quarter of an hour, allowing Xu Dong and Honglie to rest and prepare for a while, so that they could continue the competition in the next link, that is, to continue the competition with high-level talismans
Xu Dong was already very satisfied with this judgment result, if he didn't consider the artistic conception of the rune, it was only the strength of the rune, Honglie might be slightly better than him
"Brother Xu, hurry," Yang Zhen greeted him outside the court, "Immortal Master and Elder Tong have something to look for you, they want me to bring you over quickly"
The two of them hurriedly walked towards the row of houses, pushed open the door, and saw that several elders of the Linggu Gate were waiting for him in the room, all with grim expressions on their faces
Elder Tong asked, "Xu Dong, you don't know who this Honglie is, do you?"
Xu Dong shook his head, he really didn't know the details of Honglie, to be honest, he couldn't deny that Honglie was indeed a dark horse, and in terms of making talismans, it could be seen that Honglie would not be worse than him, Xu Dong's skills would not be worse
Elder Tong said, "We have found out that this Honglie's real name is Geng Shao, and he is now a full-time Jianghu killer, and many rookies in the cultivation world died at his hands......"
Xu Dong was stunned for a moment, "That...... What does he have to do with Chengtianzong, can he represent Chengtianzong to participate in the meeting, won't he be as a Jianghu killer?"
Elder Tong said: "We have also investigated this, and it is said that he is now an honorary disciple of the same Dao Zhenren, and the Tongdao Zhenren also gave him a Dao name, called Honglie ......."
Hao Min said: "The honorary disciples of the same way don't have a relationship with the same way for a dime, but they have learned a very extraordinary skill from the Miao Ling Dao master who has studied under Miao Ling Peak."
Xu Dong only knew that Miaoling Peak, like Ziyang Peak, was also one of the three main peaks of Qingyang Mountain, and more than ten years ago, Miaoling Peak was monopolized by a strange person who claimed to be the head of the Miaoling Dao, which had caused the anger of the people in the cultivation world
"That...... Didn't Miao Ling Dao Elder die a long time ago?"
Hao Min said: "Yes, Miao Ling Dao Chang was assassinated the year before last, Miao Ling Peak fell into the hands of his apprentice Geng Shao, in order to monopolize Miao Ling Peak like his master, so he sought the support of his fellow Dao and worshiped Tong Dao as an honorary master."
"Oh"
Xu Dong touched his head and went around in a big circle to understand the relationship
Hao Min said: "After the death of Miao Ling Dao Chang, there was a rumor that Geng Shao assassinated his master, Geng Shao, traced the source of this rumor, and killed the initiator of the rumor, so he achieved his reputation as a killer in the rivers and lakes."
The Crane Dance Immortal Master, who had been silent, waved his hand at this time and called Hao Min to stop, and he spoke to Xu Dong in a low voice
"I didn't expect my fellow Daoist to do such a thing, he wanted to use Honglie to achieve his personal goals, I asked Yang Zhen to summon you, to tell you the truth and ask for your own opinion"
"Ask for my own opinion"
"Yes," said the Crane Dance Immortal, "if you decide to quit this competition, we will pack up and go home immediately, if you want to continue the competition, we will discuss how to go next."
Elder Tong said: "No matter what the result is, we can see through the sinister intentions of his fellow Dao Zhenren, and my Linggumen will not have anything to do with him from now on."
Xu Dong said almost without thinking, "I have already won the first place in two events, and I can win the championship in the next three events, as long as I win one, I don't want to quit this competition."
His master Fang Yun spoke at this time: "You have to think clearly about what kind of opponent you are fighting against, how dangerous it is, this Geng Shao is a murderer without blinking."
"Hmph," Xu Dong said in his heart, "I'm not afraid, I've just walked out of the killer forest in the past few years, what kind of danger has I never seen, and I hung up the Arctic Mo Old Monster before reaching the top of Ziyang Peak."
"He is a fellow real person, and he wants to get rid of me by Geng Shao's hand, I just quit the fight, he Geng Shao will find an opportunity to start as usual, it is better to take advantage of Yun Zhongzi and other seniors to be in the prison here, and let him fight with me openly, which is fairer than him assassinating me."
Haomin said: "Xu Dong's analysis is very reasonable, it is much better to deal with people like Geng Shao, it is much better to fight openly than in secret, under the noses of Yun Zhongzi and other masters, I believe that Geng Shao will not do too much."
The Crane Dance Immortal Master asked Xu Dong, "Are you sure you want to continue to compare?"
Xu Dong nodded, "I won't give up"
The Crane Dance Immortal Master said: "Then you have to focus your eyes on what Geng Shao wants to do when you are fighting, you find out in time, we are also prepared for emergencies, and we can answer you anytime and anywhere."
Xu Dong nodded again, "I'll guard against him."
Elder Tong handed a box to Xu Dong, "You're about to go on the field to compete with Honglie to make high-level talismans, there is a set of talisman making tools here, the best thing that our Linggu Gate can get out, you ......"
Xu Dong opened the box and saw that it contained a rune pen made of demon fox fur, which was not top-level, but also high-grade, and there were excellent graphite and dansha, rune paper made of high-grade demon fox skin
A smile appeared on his face, these things were exactly what he couldn't ask for now, but he didn't expect that the Linggu Gate was prepared for him
Next, the comparison of high-level runes, Yun Neutron and the other four supervisors and judges summed up, changed some rules, canceled the time limit, and whoever produced the high-level runes first was counted as the winner
As soon as the golden drums sounded in unison, Xu Dong and Honglie went on the field together, and the commander waved the order flag to announce the official start of the competition, and Xu Dong and Honglie started to study ink at the same time
In fact, the competition between the two began when they were grinding ink, and grinding ink requires a certain amount of internal strength, and only by pouring enough internal strength can it be possible to dissolve graphite and dansha in water in a short time
The production of high-level talismans pays special attention to the internal skills, and in every link that seems to be not tight, it can be seen whether a person's internal skills are strong or weak, which also indirectly affects whether the final success of the talismans made
People with a strong foundation of internal skills inject sufficient aura into the grinding ink, and whether the ink aura they have studied is sufficient or not, the operator can only see it by observing with his divine sense
Xu Dong and Honglie finished studying ink almost at the same time, which made both of them surprised by each other's internal strength, and Xu Dong was even more secretly stunned by Honglie's performance, he seemed to be more calm than Xu Dong
But he didn't dare to be distracted and pay more attention to the other party, since it was faster than the talisman, he should concentrate on doing his own thing, if he didn't pay attention, it would be a disguised opportunity for the opponent
He spread the rune paper made of demon fox skin on the table, and according to the previous process of following Ansu to make high-level runes, he first made a draft in his heart, and carefully conceived the blueprint that would appear on the rune paper
"The system of high-level talismans especially emphasizes the need to have a Dao heart, that is, the heart of the talisman, that is, the guts of the talisman, if a talisman is missing, then this talisman is equivalent to a piece of waste paper"
Xu Dong thought back to the mental method that Ansura had taught him, picked up the talisman pen made of demon fox fur, dipped the tip of the pen in the red ink, and in the process, he released the spiritual power in his body and poured it on the end of the pen
When the tip of the pen was filled with sufficient spiritual energy, he dared to put the pen on the rune paper, in fact, a vortex of spiritual power was formed at the place where the pen was dropped, and the spirit yuan in the air was sucked into this vortex in an uproar
When Xu Dongzheng was concentrating on making talismans, he ignored a major problem, that is, he and Honglie competed for the spirit element in the air, and the two of them were making high-level talismans in the same space at the same time, and there must be a battle for the spirit element
"Sometimes, the unsuccessful development of a talisman does not mean that the skill of the person making the talisman is not there, but it has a lot to do with the scarcity of spiritual elements in the air."
"For example, a rune paper, I believe you did your best, and I can't find anything wrong with your production method, but why it is still unsuccessful, it is because it is not connected with the spirit element in nature."
At this point, Honglie seemed to be older than him, Honglie had been inadvertently exerting his power into the air, causing the Lingyuan in the air to change direction, and in the blink of an eye, the Lingyuan, who was originally going to run towards Xu Dong, was sucked to his side
By the time Xu Dong discovered this problem, the spirit yuan at the end of his pen had been cut off, and only a small stream of scarce spirit yuan was floating on the rune paper, which could no longer form the climate of making a high-level talisman
He gritted his teeth and said to himself: "I have to fight for Lingyuan, otherwise I will let Honglie preempt the talisman first, and I will fall short in the final loss to Honglie."
In a hurry, Xu Dong formed a magic seal with both hands and sent a gong into the air, his movement may have been a little stronger, not only did he not pull back the Lingyuan that was falling towards Honglie, but even the wisps of thin Lingyuan disappeared
"This natural spirit element is like a net, you have to close it little by little, if you use too much force at once, this net will be torn off by you, and you will never be able to close it again."
Xu Dong's ears were echoing Ansula's words, that is, he hated Ansula's preaching, hated Ansula's old tune, and now he knew Ansula's golden and jade words, which can be described as every word
But it was too late, and when the tip of his pen was dry like a snail walking on the rune paper, Honglie had already made a "Cloud Seal" practice talisman before him with a wave
Sometimes success seems so hard that you feel like you've exhausted all your efforts, and sometimes failure is so quick that you don't even understand it
For example, now that he is failing in a state of confusion, he is so real that he has tasted failure
"It's good for Honglie to win you once, so that he can wear off his overly strong jealousy of you"
Xu Dong was stunned, it turned out that it was Uncle Long who spoke in his heart, and he said angrily: "Why didn't you remind me earlier, I want to compete with him for Lingyuan, I know, you deliberately let me lose to Honglie, right?"
"Yes, if you win this one, he'll jump over the wall and hit you on the spot, but luckily you didn't make a high-level talisman, otherwise you wouldn't be standing here right now."
Xu Dong was unconvinced: "Then I'll just watch him beat me like this, I'm too fucking wasteful."
Uncle Long said: "Who said that he would beat you, but for the time being, he avoided his edge and withdrew his fist in order to hit it more powerfully, isn't there still two that are incomparable, as long as you win whichever you want, you will be the undisputed first."
