A rock on the top of a mountain, a pot of wine, a plate of dates, and a wisp of breeze.
Wu Gen and Huang Li were sitting by the stone, looking at the mountain scenery in the distance and having a drink. Suddenly, Huang Li said: "Wu Gen, our master is here this time because of your instigation."
After tightening his clothes, Wu Gen looked a little depressed and looked at the other party playfully, "Do you think that with the character of the princess, he can be instigated by others?"
Huang Gen was startled, "That's true. Wengzhu seems to be a weak person, but in fact he has a big heart. Now my master boasts about Haikou, but it's hard to get off the tiger. Last night, he stayed up all night, and he still got nothing. .
This ancient rune looks simple, but is actually very clumsy and extremely difficult to decipher. Moreover, the ancient world was completely different from today's. Translating it is acceptable, but recreating it is extremely difficult. "
"Brother Huang means..."
Huang Li said nervously, "Can you ask Brother Wu to report to the Lord and give me a few days of grace?"
"It's difficult." Wu Gen shook his head, "My lord seems to be forgiving, but in fact he is cruel. I can only delay it for a day or two at most. Any longer, Brother Huang, do you believe it or not? My lord is not allowed to tie your master to Guanxicheng."
"This..." Huang Li's face froze and he looked anxious, "What should we do? Master alone cannot deduce it."
Wu Gen slapped the stone face fiercely and yelled: "Then why don't you hurry up and help your master? What are you doing here with me?"
"Oh, go right away, go right away." Huang Li stood up in a hurry and hurried down the mountain in a panic.
Wu Gen let out a long breath, picked up a date, and stared into the distance.
The reason why this time was so urgent was to force Master Qiu to deduce the runes. Apart from a little selfishness, there is also the fact that as the spiritual energy of the world here recovers and the negative energy gradually recedes, more people who practice qi will inevitably appear.
Just as Shui Congyue said, as time goes by, the giant cultivator will eventually appear, towering over thousands of people in the world. They have many means and possess heavy weapons, and they will gradually lose touch with the world and regard ordinary people as existing like ants.
In a sense, they are like beetles in the world, seizing huge resources but not giving back to the world.
Although they cannot be beaten to death with a stick, some Qi practitioners will be killed and help the mortals. But generally speaking, human nature is inherently selfish. How many people are willing to give up what they have gained? How can a little feedback be worth what a mortal loses?
Shui Congyue gave up practicing qi and practiced martial arts, didn't he just want to pave a way for the common people in the world? What Wu Gen is doing now is to give mortals some means to fight against cultivators so that they don't dare to be too unscrupulous.
There are some things in the world that cannot be done by relying on self-discipline, and can only be fought violently.
The sound of Chu Ji's footsteps came from the mountain road. Wu Gen had been recovering his soul these days, but Chu Ji took better care of him.
"Brother, I drank again and went down the mountain. I was not obedient at all." Chu Ji said angrily.
Seeing the angry and adorable little daughter's expression, Wu Gen nodded repeatedly, "Chu Ji is right, you are right. I'm going down the mountain, just in time to see how the white beard's deduction goes." After saying that, he put Chu Ji on the neck, frolicking down the top of the mountain.
Sometimes, being taken care of is also a kind of happiness.
Three days later, Master Qiu finally failed to decipher the runes. There were many wrinkles on the red face.
Zhao Ling was a little impatient. He couldn't stay on the mountain to enjoy the wind, so he wanted to leave.
Wu Gen was a little anxious. He had lured Zhao Ling here in the name of being proficient in the art of witchcraft. As time goes by, Zhao Ling's temperament will eventually come to his senses. Will Master Qiu still use such force?
It is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. Wu Gen thought for a while, then went to find Huang Li, wanting to look through the classics collected by Master Qiu.
Such a request is unreasonable. If it is not allowed on weekdays, these classics are the foundation of a sect. Although Master Qiu has not really established a sect, it is impossible to say that in a few years, when someone is in a good mood, they will build one.
But under the current situation, if he didn't agree to Wu Gen's request, it was impossible for Zhao Ling to just walk away and stay in other people's territory. In desperation, Master Qiu had to secretly tell Huang Li to only take Wu Gen to read some basic classics. Those with higher grades must not be discovered by him.
So, Huang Li took Wu Gen to a small building in the back mountain.
Entering the building, Wu Gen was dazzled by the shelves filled with bamboo slips, wooden coffins, and scriptures. This talisman is not that simple. It is just a talisman and includes many parts such as the talisman head, the majesty, the trance, the talisman heart, the cloth qi, the talisman gallbladder, etc.
Moreover, each type of rune is actually a copy of the great road of heaven and earth. It has different functions and follows different rules. It is pure nonsense to say that someone can draw all the runes. If he really has such ability, this person can be said to be close to a god.
After watching for a long time, Wu Gen became more and more confused, like a child entering a candy store and not knowing which one to choose.
Huang Li smiled slightly, "Brother Wu only wants sharp arrows. Here are the talismans and seals for reference. Others include raising clouds and thunder, urging snow and lightning, stopping rain and praying for sunshine, and refining the souls of the dead. That’s all.”
According to what Huang Li pointed out, Wu Gen found two volumes of scriptures. Sure enough, these two volumes were basic introductory records. One introduced the origin of talismans, and the other dealt with the art of guarding soldiers. After watching it for a long time, and with Huang Li's guidance, I finally understood the basics. As for how to understand it, it will take time and little practice.
He originally wanted to take away the two volumes of scriptures, but Huang Li flatly refused, saying that he could only read them here and never take them out.
Frustrated, Wu Gen found Zhao Ling privately and said, "My lord, I don't know when Master Qiu will be able to complete the deduction, and we can't just stay here. Why don't we borrow some scriptures from him and go back and study them on our own. In this way, we can't No more being controlled by others.”
Zhao Ling was feeling bored. He had long thought of rushing back to Guanxi City to hear and enjoy it. Yes, he could just take it back with him. Seeing the embarrassment on Wu Gen's face, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, old man Qiu doesn't want to borrow it?"
Wu Gen smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I don't want to borrow it, but I am only allowed to read it here. I wonder when I can finish reading the thousands of scriptures in that building. I obviously want to use this to delay time and cover up my inability to decipher the ancient scriptures." Fu’s embarrassment.”
"Really? He, Mr. Qiu, must not forget that if it weren't for my father's permission, he could have settled in Yanming Mountain. What a joke, what can be given to him, can be taken back. I really thought he could draw a few talismans. Don't you take the palace seriously? Tomorrow, let's go borrow these scriptures and see if he gives them to you or not." Zhao Ling said disdainfully.
"Come on, sir, let's prepare a few more cars. I looked in the building today, and the so-called overwhelming number of people is what I'm talking about here." Wu Gen said excitedly.
Zhao Ling glanced at Wu Gen with a strange expression, "Maybe you want to empty out all Qiu's collection."
Wu Gen said nonchalantly: "Borrowing once is still borrowing, borrowing ten times is still borrowing, and you have to fall out of favor again and again. Why not just do it all at once, and be the one with the big ticket to save trouble."
Zhao Ling walked up to Wu Gen and gave a thumbs up, "As expected of a bandit, even I thought I would just lend him a dozen or twenty volumes, but you want to dig someone's nest, you are so cruel. Okay, just According to what you said, the one with the biggest votes. Why does this sound so awkward?"
After the two of them had reached a consensus, Wu Gen immediately found the person in charge of the motorcade and came out with five empty cars. He went down the mountain to find five more cars overnight.
Early the next morning, Zhao Ling asked Huang Li to lead a team to borrow scriptures. Looking at the vast motorcade, Huang Li was still a little confused. When he arrived in front of the building, Zhao Ling said: "Wu Gen, go ahead and choose. Once you have selected, you can load the car." After saying that, he found a chair and sat in front of the building, as if he was supervising the formation.
"As ordered." Wu Gen flicked his sleeves, pushed aside the doorman, and strode towards the building with a group of people.
When Huang Li saw this situation, he couldn't help but panic, "My lord, what do you mean?" He stopped people and asked loudly.
"What do you mean? Since it is difficult for Master Qiu to crack the ancient talisman, it is better to let me do it myself. I don't believe that these few strokes are so difficult. I will lend you some sutras from your master today and return them later." Zhao Ling said domineeringly.
"No, no, no, my master cracked it last night. Now I just need to draw the talisman again according to the current situation. Please give me a few more hours of grace." Seeing that he could not stop Wu Gen, Huang Li knelt on the ground and begged.
Zhao Ling was completely unmoved and ignored Huang Li in front of him.
"Let's go." Seeing Zhao Ling acting like this, Wu Gen felt confident and rushed into the building with his men like wolves and tigers.
"This is good, take it away."
"This looks like a treasure at first glance. Take it slowly and be careful not to damage it."
After a while, half of the room's contents had been loaded into the car.
"Wait a minute..." The voice came from a distance. Master Qiu was walking as fast as flying, galloping from a distance, followed by the disciples who were reporting the news. When he came closer, Master Qiu quickly saluted and said: "My lord, this talisman has been made, please stop."
"Oh, it's really done." Zhao Ling said lukewarmly, reaching out and taking out a jade wall from his hand, with a circle of complicated patterns carved on it. As soon as he took the jade wall, a murderous aura came out from his fingers, and Zhao Ling couldn't help but shudder.
"Master, please ask your men to stop." Beads of sweat broke out on Master Qiu's forehead.
When Wu Gen saw that the situation was not right, he jumped up anxiously and said to the people who were waiting for the order, "Move quickly, the master has not given the order, you, you, you, just you, move quickly."
After everyone heard this, they also woke up. The order given by their master was to move things. Before the new order was given, they did not rush to take action, and the scene suddenly became noisy.
"My lord." Master Qiu was so anxious that the veins on his forehead popped out.
"Ahem, okay, stop it." Seeing that the old man was getting anxious, Zhao Ling decided to give him some face. After all, he was his father's old friend.
The busy group just stopped and looked at the messy house. Master Qiu was about to cry without tears. "My lord, can you please put the car..."
"Master Qiu, although I, Zhao Ling, am humble and humble, I don't have any dignity, and I can't borrow anything." Zhao Ling's face was covered with frost.
"Okay, okay, the Lord has nothing to say." Master Qiu wiped the sweat from his forehead. This time it was a cold sweat. He had heard of Zhao Ling's reputation. He was even more difficult to deal with than King Jinchun. He offended her, and he didn't even know how he died.
Zhao Ling's expression softened a little, "Well, please ask Master Qiu to explain this talisman to Wu Gen in detail. Don't hide anything. Otherwise, I will go up the mountain to borrow it again."
"Definitely, definitely." Master Qiu glanced at Wu Gen, who was still looking around the room with unwillingness. He hated this young man in his heart. Today's disaster must have been caused by this person.
"Brother Wu, why don't the two of us find a quiet room and have a detailed discussion." Master Qiu almost gritted his teeth and said, this guy is really hateful.
Wu Gen felt furious and glanced at Zhao Ling. The other party indicated that nothing was wrong, and then he followed Master Qiu to a room.
At that moment, Master Qiu threw the jade wall in front of Wu Gen without saying anything, "This talisman is easy to crack. You can use the power of blood to break through spiritual energy and protect against negative energy. This is a rather low-level method.
I really don’t know what the use of the Lord’s efforts to crack this method is. For a practitioner, it is simply worthless. "
When Wu Gen heard this, his eyes lit up. This was what he wanted, "I don't know if this talisman has a name. Please tell me in detail."
"This talisman is activated by blood energy, so we might as well call it the Blood Spirit Talisman."
