Chapter 23
In the hut, holding a steel needle, dipped in the paint made of powder nitrate, phosphorite, blue fire, etc., Tang Jie carefully inserted the paint into the pre-marked pattern. Mu Yang's secret method is specially made, and the effect of transmitting spiritual energy is particularly good. When they are arranged according to the established pattern, as long as they are activated, the corresponding spells will be automatically generated.
In fact, formations, talismans, spells, etc. all share the same principle, and they all achieve certain specified effects through the use of aura.
When Ku Taoist taught his students, he once pointed out that everyone knows that there is spiritual energy in the world, but what exactly is spiritual energy?
But few people say why.
According to Ku Taoist, aura is actually a kind of original substance that exists objectively in the world of cultivating immortals, just like atoms, which can constitute all things.
The difference is that Reiki has spirituality.
The spirituality here has nothing to do with aura, but means that it is different from all other substances in the world.
The wind has no consciousness, the rain has no consciousness, the wood has no consciousness, and the stone has no consciousness, but the spirit has consciousness.
The spirit has knowledge, but it is ignorant and does not know it.
Spirit is the foundation of everything!
They are life but not life. The biggest difference from all unconscious things is that they can receive orders and generate reactions. As if the stone has life, it can also obey our instructions and act.
Spirit, that is the case.
All spells, to put it bluntly, are nothing more than instructions to the spirit.
Those cycles and endless changes all have the same source.
Therefore, spells are instructions, instructions that specifically act on aura, so that it can act according to its own wishes.
Because of this, talismans, formations, and spells are all instructions to aura, but the way of expression is different because of the different targets they rely on.
This is like brushes, pens, and pencils. They all write characters, but they have different uses and exist in different fields.
The technique is in the human body, relying on the human body, taking the veins as the path, and the focus is on following the heart.
The talisman method lies in the talisman paper, relying on the talisman paper, using the ink line as the path, and focusing on convenience.
The formation method is in nature, relying on nature, using the formation pattern as the path, and focusing on power.
Although the performance is different, the essence is the same.
It is precisely because of this that Xiao Yiyi can turn the formation into a magical method, because she complied with the way of the maze when she was born, so that her body naturally fits with the maze, and therefore the magic formation can be directly generated in the body, and its manifestation It became a technique.
As far as the formation is concerned, it is to rely on puppets, use the pattern as the path, and focus on flexibility.
The production of formations based on puppets needs to be changed according to the difference in material quality and shape.
This war puppet uses thunder wood as the main body, which is most suitable for engraving some lightning-related formations.
At this time, what Tang Jie engraved was a thunder and lightning array: Sirius Lightning Array.
This is a training formation that Xu Muyang accidentally obtained when he was traveling in the rivers and lakes in his early years. It was originally called the Sky Wolf Lightning Array, and it was used for the big wolf puppet.
Tang Jie has been studying this formation after he obtained the true understanding of the Dao of Formation. He found that if he discarded some of its functions, he could completely use it on smaller puppets, so he deliberately studied it for a period of time.
In the three years in the Weifu, he had no mind to practice, and most of his energy was almost concentrated on this aspect. At that time, the only thing he thought about was how to get the most suitable puppet with the least investment.
Even so, the high price of materials for making puppets once made him think of giving up, but it wasn't until the appearance of Wei Tianchong that he persisted.
Tang Jie modified the training formation, which Tang Jie called the Sirius Lightning Array. As a mini version of the training formation, its biggest feature is that it can arouse the power of thunder and lightning, making the puppets move faster, and the attack is powerful. lightning effect.
The process of engraving the formation is extremely complicated, and each pattern needs to be carefully calculated. After an afternoon, Tang Jie only completed a small part, but he was so tired that his forehead was sweating.
Just as I was about to sit down and rest for a while, I heard someone shouting outside again.
Tang Jie hurriedly put away the puppet, and when he came out to see, it was Liu Hongyan, Ping Anyue and the others who came, besides them, there were also a few classmates he knew when they formed the Xiaoyao Club.
Seeing them, Tang Jie smiled and said, "What kind of wind brought you here today?"
Ping Jingyue gave him an annoyed look: "You are ashamed to say that since the last time you were a thief, your Tao Ranju has become an impregnable wall, and no one else can get in. You don't know that people are taking you now." Are you here to bet?"
"Bet? What bet?" Tang Jie asked curiously.
Liu Hongyan interface: "Of course it depends on who can break through this formation and enter the gate of your Tao Ranju. The few of us made a bet with the people from Jingjueshe, saying that you can enter your gate if you want .”
Tang Jie laughed loudly: "You guys are really bored."
Ping Jingyue looked at Tang Jie with a smile: "Then you are saying, let us earn this benefit?"
"That goes without saying." Tang Jie had already opened the large array and said, "Come in."
A few Xiaoyao Club students had already entered Taoranju, laughing and laughing, and once they entered the house, there would be another brawl. They made fun of Tang Jie being protected by Xiyue Academy, saying that he had become a golden bird in a cage, but they didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. . Tang Jie just laughed and talked, and the chat was very happy.
In the octagonal pavilion outside Tao Ranju, the student surnamed Min reappeared, looked at the entrance of Tao Ranju, took out another talisman and wrote: "People from Xiaoyao Club have entered, it seems that Tang Jie only allows students of the same period to enter, If you want to catch Tang Jie, you can only start here."
After a while, the message came back: "Let Nonggui take action."
—————————————
After bidding farewell to Liu Hongyan and others, Tang Jie continued his formation formation.
It took four full days for Sirius Lightning Array to be completed, and Tang Jie will make another array for it next.
To complete this magic circle, Tang Jie had to go to Lingmiaofang again.
When he arrived at Lingmiaofang, Tang Jie wandered all the way, looking for the materials he needed.
While wandering around, Tang Jie realized that he had come to the grain store last time by accident.
That Mrs. Shui was leaning against the shop, looking at herself with a smile on her face.
Tang Jie hurriedly took two steps forward, bowed and said, "Mrs. Shui is good."
Mrs. Shui said with a smile: "I remember you. Among the students of this semester, you are the first batch of people who discovered the way to survive in the college."
"Ma'am, Miao Zan, I'm ashamed, my student Tang Jie sends his regards to Ma'am."
"Well, the conversation is still considered polite. You are also a knowledgeable person. Ma'am, I am very happy today. If there is anything you want to tell me, I will sell it to you at a lower price, so as to save your senior brothers from peeling off the skin again." go."
Tang Jie hurriedly said, "Today, I don't want to buy food."
Mrs. Shui gave him a blank look: "My grain shop only sells grain, but who said I only have a grain shop?"
Tang Jie froze for a moment, Madam Shui said: "Come with me."
As she said that, Pingting walked towards the other side.
Following Mrs. Shui all the way, Tang Jie had come to an attic.
There are five floors in this attic, with carved beams and painted buildings, Qiongyu flying eaves, it looks very eye-catching.
Tang Jie was even more surprised when he saw the attic: "Lingtai Pavilion? Is this Lingtai Pavilion opened by your wife?"
Lingtai Pavilion can be regarded as one of the most outstanding shops in Lingmiaofang. It sells some high-quality instruments, talisman papers, and various materials. Basically, everything that can be used in Lingtai is available here, so it is directly named Lingtai.
Mrs. Shui smiled and replied: "This is opened by my son, but he has a lot of things to do and rarely comes here. Most of the time, I take care of him. Come and see what you need."
Mrs. Shui has already beckoned Tang Jie to come in.
Immediately, a young man came to greet him, and this young man was also in charge of Xiyue student.
As long as Xiyue students pass the literary examination, their free time will be greatly increased. If they feel bored in cultivation, they will come out to find something to do and earn some change by the way.
For them, penance, trials, miscellaneous items, and part-time jobs are all just choices for students, and different choices often represent different life trends.
At this moment, the student came up to meet him and said, "I wonder what this junior brother wants?"
Tang Jie hesitated for a while, and finally said: "I need some purple ink, some Guanling powder, and some bone-penetrating nails."
"Guan Ling San?" Madam Shui was taken aback: "This is the poison of San Ling, why do you want this?"
Tang Jie hurriedly replied: "In a few days, the literary exam will be here. Tang Jie asked himself if there is no problem in the literary exam, and plans to go to the trial after passing the literary exam."
"Trial after passing the literary exam? Is it too urgent? You are new to school, your foundation is not stable, and your strength is not good. Even the simplest trial place is too dangerous for you." Madam Shui frowned and said in concern.
"That's why I need to use Guan Ling Powder." Tang Jie replied: "I have no choice, my aptitude is limited, and my progress in cultivation is too slow. If I don't try to earn some money for myself, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach Transcendence within ten years. "
Mrs. Shui looked at Tang Jie suspiciously, and suddenly grabbed Tang Jie. A dark force had already entered Tang Jie's body through Tang Jie's veins. Tang Jie was shocked. The madam has withdrawn her hand: "So it's already a spiritual spring. The fifth turn of Yumen, it can't be said to be too bad, but it can't be said to be too good, but even if you don't use the elixir, it should be no problem to enter the world within ten years. Your body is quite It's a bit weird, why is the blood so powerful?"
She looked at Tang Jie with eyes that kept turning, and Tang Jie was so shocked that he broke out in sweat, he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "I have been exercising since I was a child, and my physique is still good."
Mrs. Shui just smiled when she heard that, she knew that what he said was insincere, but she didn't bother with him, she just said: "Whatever secrets you have is your own business, I don't like to inquire that much. Seeing that your body is quite strong, you can use it to I can last a few more times against ordinary little monsters, but if you really encounter a powerful one, there is still only one word of death. That's all, it's all your own business, and I don't bother to care about it. This Guan Lingsan, I It’s also available here, if you want it, I’ll give it to you, but remember not to use it on your classmates, if you let me know, you must look good.”
Tang Jie hurriedly replied: "Thank you Madam, Tang Jie will not dare to use it to harm his own people."
With the materials given by Mrs. Shui, Tang Jie returned to Tao Ranju, and began to carve the formation he needed again.
Compared with Sirius Lightning Array, this formation is much simpler, and it only took one afternoon to complete.
Seeing the lightning wolf puppet that had already formed, Tang Jie made it move a few times, and saw the wolf puppet rushing out instantly, like a flash of lightning flying on the roller behind the courtyard, stretching out its sharp claws and swiping the wolf puppet. Shi Nian scratched out three deep paw prints, which was still the effect of not activating the formation technique.
Tang Jie was very satisfied. He thought that this puppet was weaker in defense, but it was quicker and sharper in attack. If it was used for a surprise attack, even a student in the Spirit Sea Realm would be seriously injured if he was not careful. Use it well. It is definitely a big killer at this stage.
It's just that when he thought of Mrs. Shui, the confidence that had just risen in Tang Jie's heart disappeared without a trace.
This is the first time he has met someone who can find out the depth of his strength when he probes his hands. The Lingquan step that has been hidden for a long time is directly discovered, and even the body training effect of the Zangxiang Sutra can be seen at a glance.
Moreover, seeing Mrs. Shui's understatement, his proud copper-skinned and iron-framed body was actually nothing more than a "sturdy body" in the eyes of Mrs. Shui. Thinking of this, Tang Jie broke out in sweat again.
This Xiyue Academy is indeed a place where dragons and tigers are hidden, and any proprietress who sells food can have such a cultivation level. If I really want to meet another old lady who sweeps the floor, she will suddenly come over to him and say, "Your cultivation is wrong, what should you do?" How..." He wouldn't be surprised anymore.
At that time, he really realized that in this world, strength is still the biggest reliance.
All wisdom and tricks must be based on sufficient strength, if not, it will be nothing but an illusion.
He, Tang Jie, was lucky, because Tianshen Palace and Xiyue faction did not deal with it, which gave him an opportunity to take advantage of.
But this kind of luck always has a limit, and there is always a time when it runs out.
At that time, it will be the end of his life.
"We must improve our strength to the point where we can protect ourselves before then." Tang Jie said to himself.
———————
After the puppet was finished, Tang Jie didn't give it to Wei Tianchong immediately, but because it took time to train the formation, he had to wait for a while to hold it down.
In the days that followed, he still practiced hard every day. Since the Lingquan step was discovered, he no longer concealed it, and went straight to the lecture platform to receive the second level of mental skills and continue to improve. Fortunately, after this period of time, his entry is basically in line with the speed that Yumen's fifth rank should be, and everyone will not have any doubts.
Another guest came to Tao Ran's residence this evening.
His name is Zhuang Shen, a student of the Xiaoyao Club, and he has known Tang Jie in several club gatherings.
"Why did Brother Zhuang come to my place today?"
He directly invited Zhuang Shen in, and Tang Jie asked casually.
"It's nothing, I just want to ask Brother Tang about something." After entering the door, Zhuang Shen walked casually while looking around, one right hand was already in his side pocket, but he took out a picture and threw it away , the picture has disappeared in the air, and there is only a blue sky around Tao Ranju, which looks as if the whole space has been isolated.
"Oh? What's the matter?" Tang Jie asked casually as he walked ahead as if he still didn't realize it.
Zhuang Shen laughed and said, "Of course it's about Brother Tang's real identity!"
The sword light rose, and he slashed at Tang Jie!
