Speaking of Qian Chao, since Lu Pingchuan left that day, apart from meditating and practicing the "Yuan Chu Shu" every day, he has focused entirely on the art of controlling objects.
Qian Chao carefully recalled the object-controlling techniques used by Senior Brother Zhigang when he explained them to his disciples.
Senior Brother Cheng can use the Object Controlling Technique to hang heavy boulders lightly. This should be due to his strength.
Being able to completely crush and crush the cut ore into a pile of gravel should also be due to strength. However, when the ore was crushed, not a grain of sand burst out. I'm afraid it was more than just strength.
It can gather a pile of gravel into a "sand stick" and dance around, and then turn it into a "sand ring" and a "sand ball" that rotate rapidly without a grain of sand being thrown out during the whole process. What is this called? Forget it. , just call it control.
He puts the broken sword back together using the Object Control Technique, and then when he dances with the sword, not only does the broken sword remain intact, but the other sword is still dancing with him in the air. There is no difference at all. What does this mean? Does it count as control? But that is controlling two things at the same time. If the fragments of the broken sword are included, it is controlling several things at the same time.
But what makes Qian Chao most curious is that after Senior Brother Cheng was able to use the object-controlling technique to rotate the pile of ore as fine as gravel, the original bit of green copper in the ore ended up on top of the pile of gravel. This, Qian Chao really I don’t know how Senior Brother Cheng did it.
Finally, Qian Chao himself summarized several characteristics of Senior Brother Cheng's use of the Object Control Technique: First, it is powerful, second, it is controlled, and third, Qian Chao thought of Senior Brother Cheng's appearance when he swung the broken sword, and how he could control so many broken sword fragments at the same time. There is a spiritual sword, and this third wave of money named it "Duoxin", which means multitasking.
When Qian Chao was at home, his father Qian Qianli taught him books at first. Later, when he saw that his son was naughty and did not study hard, Qian Qianli asked Qian Chao to go into the study to endorse him. I thought I would teach Qian Chao a lesson with a ruler after he made a mistake in memorizing it, but Qian Chao memorized a book and found it word for word. Qian Qianli refused to give up, so he took another book, and the result was still the same. He took a third book, and it was still good. Qian Chao was naughty at that time, so he took one sentence from each of the three books from beginning to end and recited them together. Qian Qianli was confused by what he heard, but he was not convinced and asked his son to recite it again, which made Qian Chao even more angry. Naughty Qian Qianli took one word from each of the three books and memorized them together. What he memorized this time was not a sentence, just words. Qian Qianli's eyes looked back and forth at the three books, and finally I was dazzled and almost dizzy. When I heard my son say that I could still memorize backwards like this, I cursed him as a "careful little thief" and hurried away, never asking my son about his homework again.
Strength, control, and care. Qian Chao thought to himself, these three points are what must be done to master the art of controlling objects.
Let’s start with strength.
Qian Chao glanced at the stone bench next to the stone table in his small courtyard. That thing was solid. Even if it was a stone, it was extremely heavy. Anyway, with Qian Chao's body and bones, he would definitely not be able to move it with both arms. of.
What surprised Qian Chao was that he used the object control technique to easily and deftly suspend the solid stone bench. However, it didn't seem to be very stable. The stone bench was suspended several feet high and slowly rotated on its own. , Qian Chao used both hands to control the stone bench to hang there steadily.
After about two cups of tea, the stone bench that was hanging silently finally became unstable. At this time, Qian Chao also noticed that the spiritual power in his body was almost exhausted. He was afraid that the stone bench would break, so he slowly Put down the stone bench again.
After meditating for a while, Qian Chao walked to the stone bench and stretched out his hands to try to move it. As a result, no matter how hard he tried, he could only make the stone bench shake slightly.
It's still quite heavy, Qian Chao thought. All his spiritual power was consumed by the Object Control Technique. He was holding this heavy stone stool. If his spiritual power increased with the improvement of his cultivation, he should use the Object Control Technique. It should take longer to lift this stone bench.
How can I record the time when I held the stone bench using the Object Control Technique?
After thinking for a moment, Qian Chao took out a few incense sticks from his storage bag, sensed the spiritual energy in his body, lit one, and then used the Object Controlling Technique to lift the stone bench.
When the stone bench fell, Qian Chao pinched out the incense head and looked at the remaining length of the incense stick. He knew that if the time he held the stone bench made the length of the incense burn shorter, it must be his own spiritual power. has grown.
Well, or if you lift something heavier than this stone bench, the incense can burn for the same length, which means your spiritual power has increased.
Is there anything heavier than this stone bench in his yard? Qian Chao looked around and saw that the things in the yard were very simple, a stone table, four stone benches, a few flowers and plants, and a fish water tank.
Can I lift this water tank? Qian Chao thought and came closer. The tank was a little shorter than him. The tank was full of clear water, with a few lotus leaves floating in the tank and a few small fish. This vat is not fired with clay and then painted with glaze. It looks like it was made by digging out the center part of a large stone and then grinding it carefully and smoothing it. It is a heavy thing if it is not filled with water, let alone if it is full of water. Where is the water in the tank! It must be much heavier than that stone bench.
He took a step back and tried the water tank with his right hand. As expected, it was much heavier than the stone bench. He added his left hand as well, facing the tank with both hands, ready to give it a final try, even if it allowed this The water tank may shake slightly, or there may be ripples on the water surface in the tank.
But after his spiritual power was released through the art of controlling objects, Qian Chao was stunned. Not only did his body not move, he even stared at the water tank without blinking. Gradually, a hint of surprise appeared on his face. look.
Qian Chao's Object Control Technique wrapped his spiritual power around the water tank. Through the spiritual power emanating from his body, he felt the water tank. The wall of the tank was about three inches thick. There was water in the tank, fish in the water, and the little The fish is still shaking its fin tail and twisting its body in the water. Although he couldn't see those small fish through the tank wall, the appearance and shape of those small fish suddenly came alive in his heart, with fine scales, small shell-like gills, and black backs. With the white fish belly, the mouth is opening and closing continuously to swallow water, and the gills are also opening and closing.
This feeling is very similar to that after he first practiced in the spiritual veins, except that the spiritual veins in Youming Valley were passive and could only appear after practicing, but now this feeling is active. He After collecting his spiritual power, the feeling disappeared. Then use the Object Control Technique to wrap the water tank with spiritual power, and the few small fish can be clearly sensed again, as if they are swimming right in front of you.
That’s it, I understand!
Qian Chao looked at his hands, and now he figured out how the schedule brother made the few green copper debris appear on top of the pile of gravel after rotating!
I didn't expect that this Object Control Technique has such a wonderful effect. Different things react differently under the Object Control Technique. In this way, Senior Brother Cheng can naturally easily put the green copper debris in the gravel on the top of the gravel pile. How simple!
In addition to strength, control, and multi-mindedness, this object control technique also has another feature, which is induction.
Qian Chao ran back to the room and took out two bags of chess pieces from the storage bag. Those were the ones he asked Tang Ping for. He poured all the black and white chess pieces onto his bed with a splash, and stirred a few more randomly with his hands. Next, black and white were mixed together in a disorderly manner. Then he closed his eyes and used the Object Control Technique on the pile of chess pieces. After a crackling sound of chess pieces colliding, when he opened his eyes and looked, he saw two piles of chess pieces on his bed, black and white.
Sure enough! Qian Chao was very excited.
After putting the chess pieces back into the bag and tying the string, Qian Chao suddenly felt something in his heart. He used the Object Control Technique again on a bag full of chess pieces. He saw how the chess pieces in the bag were stacked in the bag under the influence of his spiritual power. He knew clearly that when he tried to make all the chess pieces swing left and right or collide up and down, he saw that the bag seemed to be full of mice and kept falling around on his couch. Inside the bag There was also a crashing sound.
no! Qian Chao thought about it for a moment and immediately changed his method. He tried to control every chess piece with the Object Control Technique. Every chess piece was like this, and the bag crackled and shook again. . Qian Chao found that the speed of consuming spiritual energy in this way was much faster than lifting the stone bench. After a while, he could no longer continue. After untying the string at the mouth of the bag and looking again, there was a bag full of chess pieces, only a bag of black debris. If it was slightly larger, you could barely see that it was round, but it was also full of craters after impact.
The ore used by Brother Cheng in the demonstration was made up of gravel and green copper chips tightly gathered together. The method of turning that piece of ore into gravel was probably the same as turning a bag of chess pieces into a bag of chess pieces. The method of making debris is the same. Probably the only difference is that Senior Brother Cheng’s cultivation level is much higher than mine, so he can turn the ore into fine piles of gravel, but he can only turn a bag of chess pieces into jagged ones. crumbs.
Qian Chao tied up the bag of broken chess pieces again and tried to cultivate his skills. If his cultivation was not good, there was no need to talk about it. Even if he understood the truth, it was the same. It seemed that he still had to work hard!
After trying chess pieces, how about trying real stones? As soon as he thought of it, he did it. There were stones near Qian Chao's residence. Qian Chao went out to pick out a few pieces, ranging from the size of a human head to the size of a fist.
Back in his courtyard, Qian Chao first started testing with a stone the size of a fist. The first method he used was to squeeze the stone vigorously with the magic of controlling objects. As a result, after all his spiritual power was exhausted, the stone was still intact. . After meditating for a while, he was ready to use the same method he had just used on the bag of chess pieces when he tried again. As a result, he used the Object Control Technique to explore the stone but was dumbfounded. Although the stone was not big, the number of gravels tightly packed inside the stone was countless. The bag of chess pieces was less than two hundred. , but the number of gravels in this stone is more than a thousand times that of the chess pieces. His spiritual power can control less than 200 chess pieces at the same time, and he will soon be exhausted. If this stone is also used in that way, I am afraid that there will be less than one. He was spiritually exhausted just by breathing.
Qian Chao held the stone in his hand and wondered where he had gone wrong. He also recalled in detail the scene when Brother Zhigang demonstrated it to everyone: the quick ore trembled and cracked into two halves, and then continued to crack separately. ...Thinking of this, Qian Chao seemed to have a vague grasp of Senior Brother Cheng's method.
Senior Brother Cheng must have regarded that piece of ore as two parts. Although there is a lot of gravel in the ore, after it is divided into two parts, how much gravel can be found at the intersection of the two parts? Where does the art of controlling objects work, so that the gravel there If they fall apart from each other, wouldn't the whole ore be divided into two halves?
Thinking of this, Qian Chao tried it. Sure enough, the fist-sized stone trembled like severe pain all over his body under Qian Chao's Object Control Technique. After a few breaths, he heard a "pop" sound, and the stone opened in response. , split into two. At this time, most of Qian Chao's spiritual energy was consumed.
He happily picked up the two cracked stones and looked at them. It seemed that this method was indeed effective, but his problem was still that his cultivation level was too low. Senior Brother Cheng could remove such a large piece of ore in one go. It turned into gravel, and after cracking such a small stone, most of his spiritual energy was consumed. His cultivation level returned to above his cultivation level. Even if he understood the truth, it would not work if his cultivation level was low.
It seemed that he had to continue to work hard. Thinking of this, Qian Chao threw the two pieces of gravel in his hand in the courtyard and walked towards his futon.
In the next few days, Qian Chao devoted all his time to "Yuan Chu Shu" and the "Object Control Technique". He used the "Object Control Technique" to control heavy objects such as the stone bench in the courtyard and light objects such as the remaining bag of chess pieces. Playing around.
The turning point came when he meditated and practiced the "Yuan Chu Shu" that day.
Due to the diligent practice of "Yuan Chu Shu", the spiritual energy in Qian Chao's body was able to operate according to the "Yuan Chu Shu" without his constant care at this time. However, in his mind, he remembered the time when he accidentally listened to other people's chat a few days ago. The kind of futon mentioned is said to be only found in Qixia Mountain. It is woven with a kind of spiritual grass called Shouxincao. When people sit on it to practice, they can have the advantage of focusing on the mind and being unified. I should find a way to get one. Sister Yan is in Qixia Mountain. I wonder if she can get this kind of futon. If she buys it, this futon is still very expensive. It is said that it takes a spiritual stone to buy one. I only have three futons a month. A piece of spiritual stone, still a little reluctant to part with it.
In fact, for monks, futons are chairs for people in the world. When I think of Qian Chao's chair, I somehow think of something written in a book I read when I was at home. No matter how strong a person is, he cannot sit on a chair with his hands up. He pulled the chair, and then pulled himself and the chair up off the ground. He didn't believe it at the time. He tried it himself but couldn't succeed, so he went to find the martial arts master who guarded the hospital at home. Those people were strong enough, so they tried it too. , the result is still unsuccessful. Later, Qian Chao understood that even if he was as strong as Lu Pingchuan, sitting on a chair and pulling the chair upwards would only make him and the chair under him closer. How could he lift off the ground?
What if I was sitting on this futon and used the Object Controlling Technique to hold it up, and would I follow the futon and lift it off the ground? Or is it just close to the futon but unable to fly?
If you can’t think of it, try it.
Under the influence of the Object Control Technique, the futon slowly rose up, about two or three feet above the ground.
Qian Chao was still sitting on the futon in a meditative posture, cautiously, fearing that he would fall if he couldn't sit firmly. Well, it seems that spiritual power can do things that cannot be done with physical strength, and Qian Chao also feels that he seems to It is much lighter than the stone bench in the courtyard. It seems that using the object control technique to lift the futon and myself does not consume much spiritual energy.
Suddenly, Qian Chao became playful again, and used his Object Controlling Technique to control the futon to float slowly from his room to the courtyard. Although it was slow, it was steady. When his futon floated above the stone table, Qian Chao couldn't help but think that it would be funny if the futon and the futon fell on the stone table to meditate. Sitting on the table, he would be like a tribute during a sacrifice.
While he was thinking wildly, Qian Chao suddenly realized that he was actually running the "Yuanchu Art" and the Art of Controlling Objects at the same time!
He can actually run two different spells at the same time!
For a moment, his mind was confused due to shock, and he didn't know whether the breath in his body had stopped running or something. Qian Chao screamed and landed straight on the stone table with the futon. Suddenly, the stone table became unstable and heavy. The stone tabletop was overturned by the falling tide of money, and the tide of money was trapped underneath at every risk.
After a while, Qian Chao stood up, supporting his painful waist. His forehead was touched on a stone bench. Although it was not red or swollen, it still hurt. However, Qian Chao ignored it after he stood up. Instead, he grabbed the futon and placed it in the courtyard, then sat on it again.
First, he ran the "Yuan Chu Technique". After the spiritual energy circulated smoothly in his body, Qian Chao used the "Object Control Technique" to slowly lift up the futon under him. After the futon was suspended more than two feet above the ground, Qian Chao finally It was confirmed that he could indeed use the "Yuan Chu Technique" and the Object Control Technique at the same time.
A while ago, when I was practicing the air control technique, I thought that if I could use the air control technique together with the "Yuanchu Art", then I could keep flying. However, I tried it several times but couldn't do it. Why is it like this? Can the art of controlling objects work together with the "Yuanchu art"?
Qian Chao thought about it for a while but still couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it. He had just entered the spiritual world not long ago, so it was normal for him to be unclear about many things. In the future, when he had free time, he would definitely go to the library and read the books there. Look, you might be able to find out.
As for now, since this object-controlling technique can be used together with the "Yuanchu Technique", this is equivalent to opening a small window for Qian Chao, but it allows him to see many new scenery.
The fist-sized stone trembled as if in severe pain under the magic of object control. After shaking for a while, it finally split into two with a "pop" sound. Then the two pieces of gravel continued to tremble each other, and finally the two pieces split into four, and the four pieces split into eight. Finally, when a stone the size of a fist turned into a pile of pebbles the size of a fingernail, Qian Chao felt that it was unsustainable, but he did not want to give up. After thinking about it for a while, Qian Chao changed his approach and regarded the pile of pebbles as a pile of pebbles. Tuan used the magic of controlling objects to wrap it up and knead it like a big hand. This consumes much less spiritual power. He only heard a heart-wrenching "crunching" sound, and those stones After squeezing and wearing each other for a while, it turned out to be a pile of gravel!
When doing this, Qian Chao has been using the Yuanchu Technique and the Object Control Technique together. When the stone was divided into four pieces, his spiritual power was almost exhausted. It was the operation of the Yuanchu Technique that continuously replenished his spiritual power. Although the Object Control Technique was consumed, the Yuanchu Technique replenished the consumed spiritual energy. As he had thought before, the wooden barrel was leaking, but while it was leaking, he continued to add water to the barrel. It can keep leaking without running out of water.
However, Qian Chao also discovered that the greater the amount of gravel controlled by the Object Control Technique, the faster the consumption of spiritual power. On the contrary, when the pile of stones was treated as one and rubbed with the Object Control Technique, the spiritual power consumption was much smaller. . This is probably also a characteristic of the art of controlling objects. If my cultivation level is as good as that of Senior Brother Cheng, I will definitely be able to turn this stone into gravel without rubbing it.
It seems that the biggest difference is still the cultivation level. If this is the case, then continue to work hard. After all, there is no reason to improve the cultivation level.
This discovery was of great benefit to Qian Chao. When he calmed down to practice, he continued to practice the Yuanchu Technique to increase his cultivation and the Object Control Technique for refining weapons together. If you can enter his small courtyard, you can see that although Qian Chao is sitting cross-legged and motionless, the heavy stone bench in the courtyard is floating up and down, dancing gracefully, several feet above the ground. Or maybe a large piece of white chess pieces surrounded Qian Chao, two by two, fighting each other, making the sound of clattering against each other.
