"Hey! Mr. Qian," Tang Ping turned to Qian Chao and said, "You Jiuxuan have the most people, and you also have the most and most various magic methods. Let me hear if you have anything strange to say."
"Well, of course there is," Qian Chao replied when he saw Tang Ping asking the question. There are naturally a lot of this kind of things among the Nine Mysteries. The apricot-yellow talisman paper appeared in his right hand, between the index fingers. The talisman paper was also covered with strange runes outlined in red ink.
"Fu Lu!" When Tang Ping saw it, her eyes suddenly lit up, "You actually learned this!"
"Learn?" Qian Chao smiled bitterly after hearing this, "It's still very early. I'm just half-assed at this."
As he spoke, Qian Chao flicked his right hand, and the apricot-yellow talisman shot a yellow light toward the trunk of a nearby big tree. There was a "dong" sound, like a sharp arrow hitting the trunk. The talisman paper was submerged into the trunk of the tree. Not only that, the entire talisman paper was still vibrating like the tail feathers of an arrow shaft. However, after a while, the talisman paper softened and trembled gently with the breeze in the forest.
Everyone was very surprised when they saw it, especially Li Jian, who said: "A piece of paper can have such power!"
Tang Ping couldn't hold it anymore. She jumped up and ran to the big tree. She pinched the talisman and looked at it. She tried to pull the talisman out of the trunk, but she couldn't. In the end, she could only pull the talisman. The talisman paper was torn, taken back, and placed on the stone table.
Yanxuan, Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan all came over to take a look. The strange runes on the talisman paper had disappeared.
"It seems there are still some deviations." Qian Chao also came over to take a look and said.
"What's the deviation?" Tang Ping raised her head and asked.
"Well, for this talisman, you normally use spiritual spring water mixed with cinnabar as pen and ink to write various runes on the talisman paper. After the talisman is used, the entire talisman paper will generally dissolve, disappearing like spring ice. It’s gone, how can I tear back such a big piece, so I definitely don’t know where the deviation went, and I’ll have to think about it again when I get back.”
Qian Chao picked up half of the talisman paper on the table and said: "I also figured out this talisman by myself. It is impossible for anyone to teach me this now, but I do know some taboos about the talisman technique. Well, generally speaking He said that the runes painted on it are the most important. To draw those runes, you need to use spiritual spring water and cinnabar as the pen and ink. You can also use spiritual tea and spiritual wine to mix the cinnabar. It is said that the effect will be better. Some special-purpose talismans need to be mixed with cinnabar. Mixing the cinnabar with the blood of monsters and beasts is naturally incomparable to the power of ordinary talismans. But there is a method that is a forbidden technique."
Having said this, Qian Chao slightly rolled up his cuffs, touched his wrist with a finger, and continued: "The monk who made the talisman used his own blood and essence to mix the cinnabar and write the runes on the talisman paper. In this way, It is said that after using the talisman, you can communicate with the mind of the monk who made the talisman. In other words, the monk made the talisman with all his own cultivation. The power is certainly not small, but there is one thing. Or if the opponent is too strong, the monk may die of spiritual exhaustion, which is considered a desperate method, so it is regarded as a forbidden technique."
After saying this, Qian Chao took out a new piece of apricot-yellow talisman paper, which was full of strange runes, and said: "There is another kind, which can also be regarded as a forbidden technique. The next step of this technique is Evil magic." He put the talisman paper on the table and pointed at the runes on it and said, "Look at this rune. The forbidden magic I am talking about is that when writing the runes, no cinnabar is used, only the blood of monsters, but it is Use secret techniques to restrain the souls of monsters on this talisman. The beast soul and blood must be from the same monster, and the higher the level of the monster, the more powerful the talisman made. .”
Tang Ping couldn't help but ask: "You said that if you go one step further, it will be a sorcery. Could it be..."
Qian Chao nodded, "Yes, someone once used the soul of a monk. Alas! This method is harmful to the world. This kind of talisman is also called a 'dirty talisman'."
Yanxuan frowned and asked, "Why do people always have such ideas?"
Qian Chao replied: "Probably because these evil spells come quickly."
Yanxuan was a little confused after hearing this, so he asked again: "Oh, how do you say this?"
"Well, although we haven't left the sect yet, we have heard about the evil deeds of some people, such as the Dusha people that Brother Lu met outside. Compared with Dusha and the monks of his generation, if they are alone, Being alone does not have much advantage, and it is not easy to take advantage of others. Unless he works hard to surpass others in cultivation, but obviously he does not have this intention. His method is to gather some people who have similar intentions to him. People dare to bully others when they are superior in numbers. This way, they can bully others without having to work hard. The same is true for evil magic. Taking this talisman as an example, is there any other way to make the talisman more powerful? What? Of course there are, but they are more difficult. However, such forbidden and evil arts can quickly increase their power, so some people violate the prohibitions with their own bodies, and even do things that are harmful to nature. "
After listening to Qian Chao's words, several people nodded gently.
"This talisman technique is said to be forbidden. Of course, I have never seen it. I heard about it from hearsay. I heard that some talisman-making methods are too powerful and have been classified as forbidden techniques by the seniors who are good at making talismans. . However, in Jiuxuan, forbidden arts only mean that they are not allowed to be used casually or are not easily passed on. It does not mean that they cannot be used. Only evil arts are forbidden to be practiced and used. If discovered, they will be severely punished. For example, if you make a weapon In the inner hall of the hall, when I entered the inner hall, I was told by my senior brother that there were six forbidden and thirteen evil spirits. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just eight words: "Do within your ability without harming the harmony of heaven and earth." Among them, the one that was most abandoned by the weapon refiners was Regarding the method of refining weapons with souls, I heard from my senior brothers that there were people in the inner hall who used animal souls to refine weapons before, but then they felt that the power was still insufficient, so they secretly harmed people and used human souls to refine weapons. Hmph, this The method is the same as that of the devil. I don't know how long it took before the elders of Jiuxuan finally discovered it and wanted to kill them. Unfortunately, a few of them escaped. These few who escaped actually established an organization called " The small sect of the Evil Weapon Hall continued to do evil. Later, our sect sent people to eliminate it, but unfortunately it was not eradicated. I heard that the current Evil Weapon Hall no longer dares to do evil in the Five Spirits Realm and goes to other sects. I left, and I don’t know what’s going on now.”
"This is happening!" Li Jian said after hearing this.
"Well," Qian Chao said, holding up the small sign of his inner hall with his hand, "it is said that the identity mark of the evil weapon hall is also the same, exactly the same, but dyed black, and it is not easily visible to others. Listen to the inner hall The senior brothers said that the sect has always asked the foundation-building brothers sent out to explore the whereabouts of the Evil Weapon Hall."
"This is how we should eradicate the evil traitors." Li Jian added.
Several people listened and nodded.
Tang Ping suddenly said: "How come this time when we came to Brother Lu's place to have barbecue, we told so many stories, none of which made people feel comfortable. Mr. Qian, it's all your fault!"
Qian Chao smiled after hearing this.
"It can be considered that I have gained a lot of knowledge." Yanxuan said.
"Hey, we've almost heard the story, and the meat is roasted. Come on, come on, come here. The meat won't be tender if it's roasted any longer. Eat it while it's hot!"
"It's finally baked, um, it smells so good!"
"Cut with a knife, cut with a knife, be careful not to burn your hands. This is a dipping sauce, prepared according to my master's method. It's so delicious!"
After eating, they went to Helou for a walk as usual. This time it was Lu Pingchuan who was the host. They had a good tea at Helou and returned to their respective schools in the evening.
