Chapter 235 Same Spell, Different Understanding
As we all know, Chi Yangzi, the master of Daqi State Master and the founder of "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", is a very knowledgeable monk.
He majored in Talisman and Seal Formation, but he also knew swordsmanship, so the essence of the first form of "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven", "Firefly Flame", is actually a "sword formation" - a thousand flying swords wrapped together The pale firelight flies towards the enemy, looking like fireflies flying in the night sky.
Of course, Gu Xu did not stick to "Flying Sword".
In his hands, everything in the world can become a medium for him to display the "Firefly Flame" - the fallen leaves in autumn, the water of the Luo River, and the dead branches and gravel in the forest can all be used by him.
It can be said that "everything can be a sword".
This is undoubtedly in line with Chi Yangzi's "Tao" of rebelling against tradition and breaking rules.
The second form of "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven", "Mingzhu", combines the method of talisman formation with the secret method of stimulating the body's potential.
It requires monks to use themselves as materials to build a formation.
True energy is the energy of the formation.
Spiritual will is the core of it.
Once the formation is successfully constructed, the flow of true energy in the body will be greatly accelerated in an instant, and bright and hot flames will burst out.
The area of more than ten meters with the monk as the center will become an area of high temperature, enough to melt metal - if the opponent does not have sufficient defense means, he will be burned to death in an instant.
But this is not the main function of "Ming Zhu".
In essence, it is similar to the "Rage" that Chu Fengge learned. It is a method that can increase the strength of the true energy and enhance combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
Once Gu Xu turns on the "Bright Candle", all the fire attribute spells he casts will have about three times the original power, and this number will continue to increase as the monk's cultivation level increases.
Of course, "Bright Candle" has a time limit and cannot exist at the same time as "Time" - after all, their consumption rate of real energy is enough to be described as "horrible". Even if Gu Xu's true energy is thicker and more condensed than that of ordinary third-level monks, it is impossible to afford these two "big gas consumers" at the same time.
After a moment, he opened his eyes.
The fire slowly extinguished, and the temperature in the room gradually recovered.
However, some of the wooden furniture in the "Qingxiang Pavilion" is slightly black.
…………
Gu Xu still remembered that when he had just escaped from death in Qingzhou Mansion and came to the headquarters of the Exorcism Department in Luojing City, a ninth-grade police officer named Qu Jinglong had brought him with him. He visited the Yamen.
“This ‘Qingxiang Pavilion’ is a temporary residence prepared by the Exorcist Department for distinguished guests,” Qu Jinglong once introduced. “In this room, all the furniture, items, as well as the walls and floors , on the ceiling, there are special magic circles arranged under the auspices of Lord Chief.
"Sir Gu, you can practice various spells here as you like without worrying about interference from the outside world. , and you don’t have to worry about damaging the furnishings in the house. "
"Really? "Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, "You may not know that the spells I learned are a little bit more lethal. I'm afraid these magic circles may not be able to-"
"——The magic circles in this room have been tested repeatedly and can block a full-strength blow from a peak expert in the sixth realm," Qu Jinglong patted his chest and said in a confident and proud tone, as if all these magic circles were It was designed by himself, "Master Gu, you just need to practice with confidence and boldness! If it is really broken, it only means that the formation masters of the Exorcism Department are not good at learning, and it is definitely not your problem!" "
"What if I really break them, do I need to pay for the damaged property?" Gu Xu asked seriously.
The various techniques he has mastered, such as the "Jinghong Brush" spell, the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", the "Time" authority, etc., are all of a very high level.
These spells can stop a sixth-level monk's full blow, but they may not be able to stop his suppression at the level of the Great Law.
The furniture and furnishings in "Qingxiang Pavilion" look valuable, even the beams are made of nanmu. If there is any damage, I am afraid that his salary for several months or even years may not be able to afford the compensation.
"Of course not!" Qu Jinglong said without hesitation.
Gu Xu breathed a sigh of relief immediately.
Because of this, he no longer had to compete with other officials for the ashram room. He only needs to stay in this quiet and spacious "Qingxiang Pavilion" to complete his daily practice, as well as learn and improve his spells.
He once heard Shangguan Jin say that the retreat room at the Exorcism Department headquarters is divided into three levels - the first level can only be used by officials of sixth grade and above, and the second level can be used by all officials. All can be used, and the third level is provided to minor officials without official rank.
Currently, the second and third level retreat rooms are all occupied, and people have even queued up for more than two months.
.........
At this moment, Gu Xu looked at the slightly blackened furniture, smiled and shook his head.
The magic circle in "Qingxiang Pavilion" is indeed quite famous.
If it had been an ordinary house, it would have been completely burned to ashes under the high temperature of the "bright candle".
Of course, these magic formations still have some minor flaws under the influence of "Mingzhu".
"Well, it seems that the formation masters in the yamen have to work hard." He thought silently to himself.
Then, with a thought, he took out the small notebook and charcoal pen that he had carried with him for a long time from "Xianyunju", and quickly recorded on it:
"Experiment time: The twenty-second day of the first lunar month of the twenty-fourth year of Tianxing;
"Experimental content: Test the effect of the second form 'Mingzhu' of "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven";
"Experimental results: 'Mingzhu' Zhu' can increase the power of true energy in a short period of time, create a range of high temperatures, and cause minor damage to the formation in Qingxiang Pavilion that is said to be built by Luo Sishou and can withstand a full blow from a sixth-level monk. ;
"Experimental conclusion:
"First, the true meaning of the 'Seven Burning Sky Styles' lies in the destruction of rules, and the same is true for 'Mingzhu'. Other fire-attribute spells may only cause superficial burning effects; but "Bright Candle" can disintegrate things from the inside out at the level of rules.
"Second, to use the 'Ming Zhu', you need to let go of your scruples, let go of your fears, and use your unwavering spiritual will as a guide to ignite your own true energy and potential.
" Remarks : I am becoming more and more curious about what kind of person Chi Yangzi, the founder of "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" is, and also want to know why he went crazy and abandoned his cultivation in the eighth realm - it is because ascension is a scam. Or are there other reasons? ”
…………
After completing the experiment record, Gu Xu began to continue reading the notes written by Daqi Imperial Master and He Yiqun in the booklet.
Now Gu Xu has a preliminary understanding of "Mingzhu".
He wanted to compare his conclusions with other people's views, maybe there would be some new inspirations, and he would also be able to find some details that he had overlooked.
The Imperial Master of Da Qi's view of "Mingzhu" is similar to "dedicate one's work to death" and "the candle will turn to ashes before tears dry up". He felt that in life, one should be diligent and dedicated, devoting all his strength to the country and the people, so that the Daqi Dynasty could develop in a better direction. He Yiqun's view of "Bright Candle" is that "life is like a candle, it will eventually have an end." He believes that since everyone is bound to die, one should not sink into darkness while alive, but should burn and shine with all his heart.
"I didn't expect that different people's understanding of the same spell would be so different." After seeing these contents, Gu Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "However, I think my understanding should be the closest to Fen's." Tian Qi Shi's true meaning."
He was very glad that he did not read the opinions of these "authorities" before enlightenment.
Otherwise his ideas are likely to be affected and restricted.
Of course, there are deviations in the understandings of Daqi Imperial Master and He Yiqun, not because they lack understanding, but because as indigenous residents of the Daqi Dynasty, it is almost impossible for them to have too many thoughts about questioning authority and rebelling against the rules.
"Perhaps it is because of this that Mr. He has barely mastered the first two styles of "Seven Burning Sky Styles"!" Gu Xu guessed in his mind.
…………
Longmen Academy is located in the suburbs of Luojing City, adjacent to the Luohe River, surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery.
Its layout is exquisite, it is a large courtyard building complex, arranged in sequence along the central axis, all with white walls and gray tiles, giving it an elegant and indifferent air.
In different buildings, there are different teachings to teach students, learn their homework and solve their doubts.
In the cool breeze, you can hear the lectures of teachers, the impassioned arguments of students, the clang of swords clashing, and the cheers of victory after a competition...
< br>
Various sounds are mixed together, but they don't seem noisy and harsh.
On the contrary, it is like the various parts of a symphony, fused together with a specific beat to form a unique melody in the daily life of Longmen Academy.
At this moment, in an inconspicuous side room of the academy, a man in his thirties or forties, wearing a blue-gray robe, was sitting next to the desk, flipping through an old book. , while using a brush to draw on a piece of white paper.
He has a fair face, a high nose, and thick eyebrows.
The appearance is pretty.
It's just that he looked a little haggard, as if he hadn't slept well for several days in a row, and he had very clear dark circles under his eyes.
In addition, his sitting posture also looked very awkward - his back was arched like a crooked shrimp, his head was very close to the table, and his eyes were almost touching the book.
I saw him drawing complex patterns on the paper while muttering in his mouth:
"The 'Lovesickness Talisman' is a talisman that makes people feel in love. It is necessary to rely on the medium 'Acacia Seed', that is, 'Red Bean Seed' to produce its effect, and combine it with the 'Acacia Mantra' - 'Jing Bing Taiyin, Qi Bing Tai Yin, you will receive one grain, and it will tie your mind to your heart'
"..."
"The 'Snake Transformation Talisman' is mainly used for snake protection, that is, it transforms into a snake to protect oneself.
"When using the 'Snake Transformation Talisman' , you need to recite the 'Snake Changing Mantra', the content is as follows: 'Snake Master, Snake Master, rolls and circles on the ground, flashes of thunder and fire, easy to see and easy to hide, enters the mountains and horizontally, catches it and stings. '
"In the process of drawing this kind of talisman, there are very strict requirements - the original words in the book are 'Take a sip of Qi from the east, inhale it into the abdomen, and let it flow to one-third of an inch below the navel. Until then, go up to the mouth, touch the pen, and the black will be in the circle. If there is a slight mistake, the spell will not take effect.
"..."
Since he did not use real energy in the process of drawing the talisman and chanting the incantation, the runes he drew on the paper did not have any extraordinary properties and were purely his review notes.
At this moment, someone suddenly pushed the door open and entered.
"Mo Li, how have you been preparing recently?"
The person coming was a man in his fifties.
He is tall, with gray hair and a long beard. He is wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and looks majestic. At first glance, he is an extraordinary big shot.
"It's not bad," the man called "Mo Li" raised his head, "I have reviewed the talisman seals that I have mastered forty-nine times. By tonight, I should be able to read it for the fiftieth time."< br>
His voice sounded listless and weak, as if his whole body had been hollowed out.
The tall and majestic man in brocade robe is none other than the dean of Longmen Academy - Li Zheng.
Mo Li is his cousin, a fifth-level monk and a well-known talisman cultivator.
He once studied at Longmen Academy and started practicing Talismanism fifteen years ago. It is said that he has memorized all the Talismanism books in the library by heart.
He once claimed that there was no talisman in this world that he could not draw.
"In three days, it will be the day when you will compete with several other candidates in the art of talisman and seal script," Dean Li continued with a serious face, "You should remember what I told you before, because Grand Master of Qi, Luo Sishou of the Exorcism Department and Princess Zhaoning are watching this matter, so it is impossible for me to provide you with any form of help.
"If you want to become the new president of Longmen Academy. To learn, you must rely entirely on your own strength to defeat several of your opponents in a fair competition. How sure are you of this? "
Mo Li thought for a while and held out five fingers, indicating that he was 50% sure.
"Cousin, I have asked someone to help inquire about those opponents," Mo Li continued, "Although Shen Qiu of the Jinling Shen family has good talent and has received guidance from the national master, he often relies on his talent and is rarely willing to learn some basic talismans and seals on the ground. In terms of hard power, he can't compare to me.
"Gu Xu from the Exorcism Department is very talented and is in the spotlight, but he is too young. It seems that he has only practiced for a year. In the art of talisman and seal script, you need to accumulate experience through constant mistakes. He How can I use what I have learned in one year to challenge our efforts of more than ten years?
“The only opponent I am afraid of now is the casual cultivator Zhao Xinran. "
Dean Li was silent for a moment, and then said solemnly: "I think you still have to be a little more cautious about that young man named Gu Xu. He was personally recommended by the Imperial Master, so he must have merit. "
Mo Li responded with a soft voice: "Then I want to prove that the national master can also make mistakes. ”
