Chapter 244 Volume C is a step-by-step process, a niche choice
The group began to clean up and inspect Longlinyuan.
Longlinyuan is a combination of about ten small basins and flat lands.
There are shallow hills between the small basins in Xiaobazi. The area of each small basin in Xiaobazi ranges from a few hundred acres to several thousand acres.
A variety of ruined courtyards, halls, pavilions, pavilions, and dozens of ruins are left, which are enough to show the prosperity of Dongxuan Sect at that time.
It's just that the current Dongxuan Sect has long been wiped out, leaving only chicken feathers on the ground.
Chen Huaisheng’s main focus was on cleaning up the ruins and some mansions that were not suitable for human habitation.
I don’t know exactly why the Dongxuan Sect was destroyed back then, but I am worried that there will be some vicious beasts, monsters, and ghosts hiding in the entire Wolong Ridge, so the best way is to use magic to get rid of them.
The cleanup starts from the southwest side closest to the entrance of the valley.
Both Xu Muyang and Wang Yao cast the Dust Cleansing Technique continuously.
This is the simplest spell to remove evil spirits and ghosts. Although it may not kill the evil ghosts, it can drive these evil ghosts out of the courtyard, vegetation and even underground.
Chen Huaisheng and others can only use magic talismans.
Fortunately, before we came here, everyone knew that Wolong Ridge was the original mountain gate of Gudong Xuanzong, and there were many old building complexes. If the sect wanted to quickly take root and stand firm, it must make do with these original buildings, otherwise Rebuilding them all would be time-consuming and labor-intensive, so a large number of evil-repelling charms were purchased in Bianjing City, and now it's time to put them to use.
Chen Huaisheng and Cai Jinyang are responsible for clearing a courtyard at the westernmost end.
This courtyard is very large, but many houses have collapsed in the middle, intermittently.
Weathered rocks and mounds of earth, decayed wooden beams and rafters, and flourishing weeds and shrubs have all almost washed away the scenery of this large courtyard.
Cai Jinyang carefully looked at the threshold at the entrance. He even leaned down to observe it, and then twisted the threshold with his fingers, as if to check the material.
"What's wrong, Senior Brother Jinyang?" Chen Huaisheng asked curiously.
"The Dongxuan Sect's status in Hebei before should be equivalent to the current status of Tianyun Sect or Taihua Dao in our country of Zhao." Cai Jinyang smacked his lips and tsked.
"Oh? How can you see it?" Chen Huaisheng estimated that the other party had gained something from observation.
"This threshold is made of cloud dan wood, which is considered to be the best spiritual wood used to make forbidden spiritual power. Not to mention the other spiritual wood of this threshold alone, it costs hundreds of spiritual stones, and this does not include the cost of carving and processing. At least we, the Chonghua Sect, have never had such luxury."
Cai Jinyang replied firmly: "In addition, there are also rune carvings on the threshold, and there are hollow settings in some places for placing special spirits. Jing, this means that such a restriction is even a small magic circle. If it is fully equipped and activated, even an ordinary foundation building may not be able to destroy it in a short time. This house is either occupied by a big shot of Dongxuan Sect. , or it is a quiet room specially used for retreat, so special forbidden spells are used to defend and resist external interference."
"Oh, do you recognize the runes on this threshold?" Chen Huaisheng? Thinking that Cai Jinyang actually knows things like spell prohibition.
“I know a little bit, but I have read some scriptures before, so I roughly remember that the restriction on this threshold should still be a wooden restriction with both offense and defense, but the spiritual crystal in the hollow has long been gone, and the runes It’s a little blurry, but if someone repairs it, it can still be used.”
Hearing what Cai Zhengyang said, Chen Huaisheng moved slightly.
There is no one in the Chonghua Sect who specializes in teaching talismans and forbidden spells, because the Chonghua Sect does not pay much attention to this aspect. Some Taoist masters only have a brief understanding of it, and it is somewhat reluctant to teach it.
I didn’t expect that Cai Jinyang would be able to understand this kind of spell book after reading it himself?
It seems that Cai Jinyang is a little sensitive to the forbidden runes and curses, or has a talent.
In Chen Huaisheng's view, Cai Jinyang, who is already in his forties, is still at the fourth level of Qi refining. From a cultivation perspective alone, his prospects are limited, and it will even be difficult to break through the foundation building in the future.
But if you can find a path that suits your practice, you may be able to find another path.
"Senior Brother Jinyang, how is your recent progress in cultivation?"
Cai Jinyang was startled, "Huaisheng, do you know when I broke through and advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining? Not long ago, this It has been going well for a year, but I estimate that it will take two years before I can reach the fifth level of Qi Refining."
"Then, has Senior Brother Jinyang considered trying the practice of rune forbidden spells? What? I feel like you have some talent for the forbidden runes. In addition to accumulating spiritual power, the forbidden spells are also a good direction for the sect. "
Cai Jinyang understands Chen Huaisheng. meaning.
Practice generally refers to two levels.
The first is cultivation in the original realm. This is the foundation, and everyone takes this as their foundation.
The other level is either cultivating tools (swords), spells, or rune forbidden spells. The two levels will promote and influence each other. The advancement of weapon cultivation, spells and spells cultivation will also promote the improvement of the original realm practice, and the improvement of the original realm will also make the weapon cultivation, spells and spells practice achieve greater results. Use your skills to expand your magic space.
Needless to say, sword cultivation and spells are the mainstream of monks' attack and defense system.
Rune forbidden spells belong to a niche group.
Of course, many people study concurrently, but they all have a focus.
For example, Chen Huaisheng has almost completely given up on the forbidden runes and curses. He majors in spells and also takes into account swordsmanship. But in the long run, he will major in swordsmanship and also take into account spells.
But the niche is only relative to sword cultivation and spells. In fact, there are many practitioners who also practice talismans and forbidden spells.
However, there are thresholds for the forbidden spells of talismans. The practice of forbidden spells generally requires the middle stage of Qi refining and above.
There are also differences in talismans. Making drawing talismans generally requires a high level of Qi refining. If you want to be successful, you must at least build a foundation or above. At Cai Jinyang's current level, he can only practice forbidden spells and use talismans.
He cannot yet make a drawing talisman.
"Huai Sheng, do you think I should give up sword practice and magic and focus on forbidden spells and talismans?"
This matter is not trivial and will determine how my future practice will be, Cai Zhengyang It is impossible to make a sudden decision.
But he also knew that Chen Huaisheng was doing it for his own good, and Chen Huaisheng's cultivation talent was becoming more and more prominent, which also made Cai Jinyang attach great importance to the other party's judgment.
"Senior Brother Jinyang, I won't beat around the bush between you and me. In fact, you can test whether you are sensitive to the Talisman Forbidden Curse."
Chen Huaisheng will not make decisions for the other party, it is up to him to make his own decisions.
“It is very difficult for ordinary people to understand and remember the forbidden spells of talismans. They may look at a rune for three days, read it by heart a hundred times, and forget it again after sleeping. Everything is clean, and even if you can remember it after chanting, but the spiritual power in your body is not strong, then you have no talent in this area."
Chen Huaisheng knows these truths and Cai Jinyang should understand, he is just. He needs someone to help him check, or to encourage him and strengthen his confidence.
“But if there is an impression in the mind, and there is a reaction as soon as you recite it, it means you can work hard in this direction. Once you have reached a high level of Qi refining, you can try to make a drawing talisman. Combined with The power of chanting may not be inferior to sword cultivation and spells, and if you are talented in runes, it often means that you have good spiritual roots and strong understanding, which makes it easier to achieve breakthroughs in ascension..."
Cai Jinyang was a little moved.
In fact, he knew that he was somewhat sensitive to spell patterns.
The simplest reason is that when he was still at the second level of Qi Refining, he accidentally came into contact with the rune scriptures with other brothers. He could memorize a rune in his heart just by reading it a few times. And I won't forget it for a long time, but many other brothers and sisters can't remember it at all. They can't even distinguish the characters and patterns clearly, let alone memorize them.
But in the Chonghua sect, sword cultivation comes first, followed by spells, and the forbidden spells and talismans have always been regarded as the last category and not taken seriously. Most of the time, they are regarded as a supplementary practice. , as long as they can use the talismans produced by the Craftsman Hall, basically no one will specialize in practicing the talismans and forbidden spells.
The production of talismans of the Chonghua School is mainly based on making talismans and almost does not involve talismans.
There is a difference between the talisman and the urn. The talisman focuses on the material, while the urn focuses on the text.
In short, the strength of the talisman mainly depends on the material and processing methods used by the talisman master to make the talisman, while the quality of the urn mainly depends on the understanding and application of the rune characters and the use of spiritual power when the talisman master draws them. combine.
Chen Huaisheng sincerely hopes that the brothers and sisters around him will become stronger as soon as possible.
Lu Wenshen's death touched him greatly, far more than the deaths of Zhen Yunpei, Fang Baoyu and others during the battle in Tianzhai.
Although he knew Zhen Yunpei and Fang Baoyu at the beginning, they did not interact with each other, and the two died in the battle not in front of him, but after seeing him, so although they were quite shocked, they were not as shocked as this time. Lu Wenshen's death is so intuitive and touching.
Although Lu Wenshen and he did not have a deep friendship, they had been together for so long, and this time they came to Hebei together, but they were eaten alive by a monster before they even reached the river bank. Okay, this is too exciting for Chen Huaisheng.
Moreover, from Langling to Hebei, so many Chonghua disciples, especially those he knew well, would lose one if they died. This feeling particularly gave him a sense of crisis.
So he eagerly hopes that his friends, acquaintances, and brothers can quickly become stronger so that they will not disappear one by one during the sect's survival.
But he knew that his idea was unrealistic.
The Chonghua sect will definitely encounter various dangers in the process of entering Hebei and establishing a foothold in Hebei. Situations like Lu Wenshen will continue to happen. Until the Chonghua sect truly grows and develops in Hebei, ordinary forces will no longer be able to do so. It may only improve if you don't dare to provoke others easily.
In the early stage, this danger may break out at any time and turn into killing and death.
