"Mr. Song doesn't know something..."
Military Advisor Zhang leaned close to Song You's ear and whispered to him: "The people facing us in front are the Eastern Eight Tribes of the Grassland under the command of Youlang King in the north of Saibei. There is a military advisor under Youlang King who likes to cut off the enemy the most. The hands, feet, skulls or other organs on the body are collected and often played with. We had carefully designed a plan to send Mr. Yin’s ears to his tent.”
"Isn't it true that the movements of the Right Wolf King's army in Saibei are all under your control?"
"It's not that useful anymore." Military Advisor Zhang said, "Once this ear is in that military advisor's tent, we can only hear what is said in his tent, and most of the time, the Saibei people talk about important things. In the king's tent, this strategist is just one of many strategists under King Youlang's tent. Secondly, the ears are usually kept in a box. Whether you can hear clearly or not depends on God's will."
"I see."
"Just a little bit is just a little bit. It can be regarded as some information."
"That's true."
Song You calmed down and looked at Mr. Yin.
I saw him walking to the corner of the martial arts hall alone, covering his ears with his hands, bending down to listen. After a while, his voice came: "They are discussing Mr. Song..."
"Who and whom? What are you discussing about Mr. Song?"
Military Master Zhang, who was standing nearby, immediately asked in a low voice.
"Another counselor from the right wolf king's tent came to see him. He mentioned the stone giant this afternoon and guessed that a practitioner with high magical power would come to help the army..."
"anything else?"
"You can't hear it clearly. It's in a box, and it makes a loud noise. They're talking and moving around at the same time."
"Just listen attentively."
Everyone present did not dare to speak again.
For a moment, needle drops could be heard in the martial arts hall.
This scene made Song You feel very strange.
Sanhua Empress also opened her eyes wide and moved her eyeballs from side to side. The children also found it very magical.
After a while, Yin Wenxing's voice came out again: "They seem to be planning to invite the elusive ghost into the city to try Mr. Song."
"A night attack on Mr. Song?"
"It seems...ah, no!"
"What is it?"
"They said they would invite the demon to come in and cause some trouble, and secretly see what Mr. Song looks like and what his abilities are."
"Keep listening."
"They walked out of the big tent..."
Yin Wenxing opened his ears and seemed to be unable to hear.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that they even recovered their breathing at this time.
I only heard General Chen say: "It would be easy if that demon came to find Mr. Song."
"I wonder what kind of monster it is?" Song You asked.
"It's a demon named 'Bo Lai' in the Saibei Army. We don't know its origin." General Chen said, "It's not clear how powerful this Bo Lai is. It's just that he is stronger and has a pair of It's just claws that can disembowel the intestines. Generals in the army who are good at rushing into battle may not be able to defeat him with their bare hands, but if they are wearing full armor and holding a handy weapon, they may not be afraid of him. But this uncle has something. Banshin has the ability to appear and disappear, and his movements are also agile. You don't know where he will appear from, nor where he will disappear, making it difficult to guard against."
"This uncle is really giving us a headache." Commander Zhang said helplessly, "Many generals and commanders died in his hands in nightmares at night, and their deaths were miserable. Later he brought in diseases or other evil spells, and now there are still Many generals have been tortured by the disease he brought. Nowadays, the generals in the city dare not sleep to death, and have to take turns to keep vigil. Even so, soldiers occasionally die in his hands. Whenever he kills someone, he will They used their own weapons to nail people to the ground, and sometimes even tore some of them to pieces. The methods were very cruel and caused panic among the people in the city."
This is the power of demons on the battlefield.
Even demons and ghosts whose combat prowess is not outstanding have abilities that are completely different from those of mortals, and can often do extremely horrific things, causing a deterrent effect on soldiers no less than that of a large army.
After listening to this, Song You thought for a while and then asked: "Is it the wall-penetrating technique or the earth-escape technique?"
"At first, we also doubted whether it was a wall-penetrating technique or a method of escaping from the ground. However, there are some people in our army who know Xuanmen magic. We also thought of some ways to deal with or verify it. It's okay once, but we will know after a few times. It's not a wall-penetrating or ground-escape technique." Military Advisor Zhang frowned, "It should have come out of thin air and left out of thin air."
"Come out of thin air and leave out of thin air?"
"We also tested it out through long-term battles." Military Advisor Zhang said, "In addition, Mr. Yin occasionally heard some fragments of words. Although it cannot be proved, it can be supported by some force."
"Has anyone seen him coming?"
"A general happened to see it and said it appeared out of thin air."
"Appeared out of thin air." Song You paused, then asked, "Has anyone seen him there?"
"That's not true."
"..."
Song You frowned slightly.
When Commander Zhang saw his appearance, he felt a little surprised and asked: "Does Mr. Song know the origin of this magic?"
"I know something about it, and it's somewhat consistent, but this kind of spell hasn't appeared for many years, and I'm not sure if it is."
"oh?"
When everyone heard this, they were immediately surprised.
There are all kinds of spells in the world, mysterious, wonderful, and elusive. Sometimes the most difficult thing about a spell is not understanding it. Sometimes if you know its origin, it will be easier to deal with it.
Just like the paper yaksha.
If no one knows the weakness on the battlefield, I am afraid it will be equivalent to a strong general. If the rivers and lakes meet by chance, in a hurry, there is probably nothing you can do about it. But if we had known about it and made preparations in advance, it would have been easy to burn it all with just one fire.
It's like the method of escaping from the ground.
A word that makes the truth shake and shakes the mind will break the law.
If you know the origin, you may have a way to deal with it.
Everyone asked eagerly:
"Sir, please tell me!"
"Have you ever heard of 'come and go as you wish'?"
"Come and go as you wish?"
"Exactly."
Song You slowly said to them: "This is a very profound Xuanmen magic. It was still practiced by people in ancient times, but it has not been seen for many years now. Just like its name, it comes and goes as you wish, and it can come out of thin air. You can come and go out of thin air, leaving no trace. Beginners can pass through walls and doors. The deeper the attainment, the farther the distance. It is said that in ancient times, there were great powers who could reach the ends of the earth with a single thought. This is probably an exaggeration. argument, but there should be no problem in Bailili."
This spell is also collected in Fulong Temple.
But as Song You said, after ancient times, few people have practiced it.
The main reason is similar to the method of bringing traces back and forth, in that it is very difficult to practice and takes a very long time. However, it is many times more exaggerated than the method of bringing traces back and forth, and it often takes tens or hundreds of years to practice.
To practice this magic, you need to be in seclusion and solitude. It is said that just for beginners, you have to practice alone in a dark cave for ninety-nine and eighty-one days. After practicing, you have to rest for at least a hundred days, repeating this seven-seven-four days. Nineteen times before you can get started. Among them, ninety-nine and eighty-one or seventy-seven and forty-nine are probably recorded this way just to make it sound nice. The actual time consumption is roughly similar to this. There may be a slight fluctuation according to the talent and understanding of different people. In this way, It takes about half a year to practice each time, and more than 20 years to get started.
The main reason is that before practicing it, the practitioner must have a relatively advanced foundation in Taoism.
Otherwise it would be difficult to stay in retreat for two or three months.
And while practicing it, you must not do anything else.
This is just an introduction.
So it's not that people today can't learn it, it's just that in ancient times, immortality was easy to come by and people had a lot of time to practice this kind of magic. Now that immortality is hard to come by, there are naturally fewer people learning it.
It is better to learn the basics and go through one wall and one door than not to learn and waste more than twenty years of time.
If you want to learn something profound, life is too short.
Currently, this is only possible for demons.
However, it was only just a short time after the transformation of heaven and earth. The human monks were the most prosperous and naturally bore the brunt. The goblins and ghosts were still queuing up and did not fall on them.
At this time, I heard Song You say: "It's just that this is the orthodox Xuanmen magic in ancient times in Dayan. I heard the general said that these demons and ghosts all ran away from Zhaoye City, and the ones who originally occupied Zhaoye City, It’s also the god originally believed in by the southern branch of the Eighteen Branches of Saibei Grassland. Why is this one in Zhaoye City?”
"It may also be that the demon ghost has no homeland. This uncle was originally a demon ghost from the north of our territory in Dayan. He was inspired by the demon king of Zhaoye City and went there." Commander Zhang answered.
"It's possible."
"Sir, do you have any solution?"
Commander Zhang seemed to only care about this at the moment.
"Of course."
Everyone saw that Song You was calm and composed, as if he was confident.
"You guys don't know. It seems great to come and go as you wish. It comes and goes in a single thought. In fact, there are great limitations. If others don't know, this restriction will be of little use. If others know, it will be easy. Being targeted by it, the secret method was broken."
"Appreciate further details!"
Upon hearing this, Military Advisor Zhang immediately took the lead and handed over his hand.
"Have military advisors ever seen stories about gods disappearing out of thin air in ancient books or stories?" Song You asked.
"Is this also the case?"
"I don't know if the gods will come and go as they wish, but the ability of the gods in the story can also be learned from the coming and going as they wish." Song You said, "It is probably the tone set in ancient times. Later generations will see that the stories of ancient times are all If you write like this, everyone will follow suit."
"Of course I've seen it."
"Have you ever noticed that the gods in the story often disappear after coming into contact with mortals? Most of them are because the mortals are not paying attention for a while, or they turn their eyes elsewhere, or they are distracted, or the gods can't find their way out of a tree. Walking behind a tree blocking the body, or creating a burst of smoke and then disappearing?"
"..."
Everyone opened their eyes wide, thinking about something.
"That seems to be the case in most cases!"
"Have you ever thought about why this is so?" Song You said, "Do you think it's just the world that exaggerates the mystery?"
"Is there anything else special about it?"
"Come and go as you wish, and if you want to have what you wish, you will be at ease. From the beginning of practice, you have to be alone in a cave, isolated from the world. Being alone means being at ease, and you must not be spied on by others." Song You said slowly, "When someone spies on you, you will no longer be able to come and go freely."
"..."
Everyone immediately opened their eyes again.
Such a profound magic has such a weakness?
Then they looked at each other and didn't dare to believe it, but Song You said calmly and couldn't tolerate their disbelief.
For a moment, I just felt that it was mysterious and mysterious.
"It is written in the collection of books in my temple that this method must be practiced to the extreme before it can disappear in front of everyone. But the book also says that even if you practice to the ends of the world in a single thought, you will not be able to reach this extreme. So in ancient times, People who practice this method must be careful, usually at night, and usually practice some magic to help hide and deceive others, so as not to be broken by others." Song You said to them, "As for the methods of hiding and deceiving others, Whether it can work or not depends on the attainments of both parties and their tactics, but I don’t know what is going on now and what will happen to this person.”
"But in my far-reaching city, the highest one is the city wall, but the city is complicated. Even if you look down from the city wall, there are many dark corners. What's more, the teacher also said that people who practice this method usually have minor training. There are some spells that help hide and cover people's eyes, and many demons are good at exhaling breath to cover their eyes. Even if we find people to circle around the city wall and find people to guard everywhere, it will be difficult to see through the magic."
"Every thought comes and goes as you wish. I can't stop it, but there is a way to help you."
"How do you defeat the enemy, sir?"
"Please take pen, ink, paper, inkstone and cinnabar."
Song You waved his sleeves and said to them.
