This should be Su Luoxue's second visit to the courtyard where the second elder lives. The last time she came was five years ago.
That time it was to inform about the fact that a monk named Chen Enze of Yushou Peak was taken away from his body and disappeared in the secret territory.
There are a lot of bamboos growing in the yard, and some small spiritual animals are playing in the bamboo forest.
There seemed to be squirrels and the like, and there were also some birds.
Last time she came to Su Luoxue, she was quite cautious and didn't understand, so she didn't dare to look around. Now when she took a closer look, she realized that those spiritual beasts were not spiritual beasts at all, but puppets.
They were so lifelike that they looked real. If they didn't have a hole in their bodies for placing spiritual stones, Su Luoxue would never have discovered them.
"How about it? Do you understand why I said that your thing is just a small thing? These puppets like me are the real masterpiece. Someone always stole it and cooked it before, so I simply left a hole to avoid being caught. Thinking about it."
The second elder poured two cups of tea, one for each of Su Luoxue.
"I have spent some time with that Mr. Gao, and his dexterity has reached its peak. It's a pity that he is not a monk, otherwise he would definitely become a great master."
"There is still a gap between monks and mortals. Mortals can only use their wisdom and mortal body, but monks can use spiritual energy and formations to create objects that are more detailed and lifelike."
The second elder waved, and a little bird flew from the bamboo forest to the table.
The feathers on this little bird are smooth and bright, and it bounces around, no different from the real thing.
The ancestors of the Gao family spent their whole lives making birds that could only flutter a few times, but the birds made by the second elder could fly freely. This was all because of the support of formations and spiritual stones inside.
"In order to make the puppet move, I actually also learned the art of formation, but it was not that in-depth, so I will guide you more on the skills."
"Take that thing out and let me take a closer look."
Su Luoxue took out the bicycle and placed it on the ground, and the second elder stood around and inspected it carefully.
"You are under the guidance of the great elder. I won't go into detail about the structure of the formation, but it can still give you a better understanding of how to imprint the formation on the puppet."
The second elder waved his hand, and the bird on the table automatically decomposed into parts, with formations engraved on each part.
For puppets, the construction material is the body, and the formation is the soul.
The body with the formation can act according to the master's instructions, so the formation in the puppet's body is a masterpiece and has been passed down from generation to generation of monks.
It's just that it's not that simple to imprint the formations on the puppet. Often, multiple collective formations need to be imprinted on a palm-sized part, so the monks need to have a very high degree of mastery of precision.
Puppet monks and formation monks will have special bonds, because some puppet masters may not be so good at it, so they will ask others to help engrave formations.
However, the formations on the puppet are top secret and cannot be easily revealed to others. In turn, the formation mage also hopes to find a puppet monk so that he can get a chance to practice from them.
Therefore, a two-way rush scene was formed.
Except for some particularly complicated large-scale formations that the second elder can't handle, things like birds are already at hand, so he doesn't have a fixed partner. If necessary, he can go to the first elder.
Under the guidance of the second elder, Su Luoxue realized again that carving formations on the puppets was completely different from engraving the formations on the formation disks. The puppets would be twisted, rotated, etc.
For example, the formation on the inside of a puppet's arm is engraved on the cylinder, and the layout needs to be planned appropriately. It is not just a matter of pasting the formation directly on it.
The most important thing is that the formation on the puppet should be streamlined, with the least number of runes to achieve the best effect, and to save spiritual stones.
So Su Luoxue simply stayed at the second elder's place and began to study systematically. With the foundation laid by the previous shopkeeper Gao, Su Luoxue learned very quickly, but a month passed before the final product was made.
When Su Luoxue brought the latest motorcycle to try it out, she found that her classmates were all talking about the latest transportation tool sold in Wuli City, and some people even bought one.
"This is the latest means of transportation, a bicycle. I heard that you can go to very distant places without walking."
The man said and tried it briefly. It only took a short time to go from being unskilled at the beginning to riding with a swishing wind.
"It's really magical. Mortals should be able to save a lot of energy by using this."
"More than that, this place can put heavy things, and the baskets here can hold lighter things, which is very convenient for carrying people and things. The sales in Wuli City are crazy now. I heard that the city lord's palace has sent people to help maintain order on the scene. , we also need to cooperate with the store owners to promote this thing!"
It turns out that shopkeeper Gao has finally released the latest generation of bicycles. Compared with the previous version, this version is lighter and more beautiful. And according to the different users, four styles are set for young, middle-aged and old. There is no such thing as a child, what if he gets injured?
Seeing that all the monks around her liked it very much, Su Luoxue secretly smiled and took out her latest work, the Lightning Motorcycle.
The motorcycle is 1.5 meters long, 1 meter high and 20 centimeters wide.
The entire body is made of special spirit wood, which is light but impact-resistant. Su Luoxue hit it with a big hammer without leaving any trace. Advanced buffer design, you won’t feel much impact even if dropped from ten meters. The mesh seat cushion is beautiful and breathable, so you no longer have to worry about hemorrhoids from sitting for long periods of time.
And it also has dual exhaust pipes, which is full of horsepower.
Why do we need an exhaust pipe if it doesn't burn oil?
To put it simply, it is because the formation cannot be carved and something needs to be added, and the exhaust pipe will be more beautiful.
The color of the fuselage is pure black, with a lightning bolt drawn on each side. There are no spikes on the handlebars. Once the speed of this thing increases, it is easy to get slapped in the face.
Originally I didn't want to design it so big, but because of the addition of defensive formations and emergency take-off formations, I had to make it like this.
Although it is driving on the ground, what if there is someone in front but there is no time to avoid it? Then activate the flying formation to make the motorcycle fly briefly.
The defensive formation is even more important. If you need to use it in the event of an accident, it is equivalent to an airbag, and it can also protect you from wind and rain.
As soon as the lightning motorcycle came out, it attracted a lot of attention, and many senior sisters and brothers gathered around.
"Junior sister Su, what is this thing? Does it look a bit like that bicycle?"
"It looks similar, but this one is even cooler. But it doesn't have any pedals. Does it run on spiritual power?"
The brothers and sisters made a rough guess about the situation of the motorcycle in a few words.
"That's right, it's a vehicle that relies on spirit stones. It's called the Lightning Motorcycle. It's very fast and very economical on spirit stones. From here to Wuli City, it is estimated that it takes twenty round trips to consume one low-grade spirit stone. "
"My senior sisters and brothers also know my situation. I always like to go out and play but I can't fly. With this vehicle, I can travel quickly in the future."
The monks looked at this thing in amazement and marveled.
"Junior sister, take a ride and let us see what it's like!"
"Yeah."
Su Luoxue came out this time to prepare for a test drive, so she didn't shirk it. She jumped on the motorcycle with a slight jump.
He reached out and patted the fuselage, where the main switch of the formation was placed, and a roar suddenly appeared.
This motorcycle actually has no sound, but Su Luoxue always felt that it was uncomfortable and lacked the feeling of really riding a motorcycle, so she made an additional formation and made some engine roars when the motorcycle starts and moves forward quickly. The honking sound is also done, just press the button on the handlebar and it will appear.
"Dip! Dip!"
There was even "Please pay attention when reversing", which was said by Su Luoxue herself.
The above sounds can be blocked and will not disturb people at night, so please feel free to use it!
This time I understand why the formation cannot be carved. Su Luoxue always wants to add some fun or cool things when making it.
