Today, a senior brother named Fu came to Qian Chao. He also came here after Qian Chao became famous. He wanted to ask Qian Chao to refine a spiritual weapon for him, but Qian Chao looked troubled. The senior brother Fu saw Qian Chao. There was no happy agreement, so I was unhappy at the time and asked Qian Chao why he was shirking.
However, when Qian Chao said that he was currently busy with something, which was refining the soul-locking stake for Senior Sister Luo, Senior Brother Fu's attitude immediately changed. When he heard Senior Sister Luo's name, the smile on Senior Brother Fu's cheeks The meat jumped a few times, and he kept saying that he didn't know that it was Senior Sister Luo who came first. If that was the case, then he should refine it for Senior Sister Luo first. If you want Qian Chao, don't be anxious, and you must refine it for Senior Sister Luo with peace of mind. , I waited for Qian Chao to finish his work and come back, and then hurried away.
Originally, Qian Chao wanted to try out the method of refining the spirit-locking stake in the Chengqi Hall, but after such a fuss, he returned to his residence for some peace and quiet.
Senior Sister Luo gave him two books, and Senior Brother Xu also left a few books for himself when he left. In this case, you might as well take a good look at these books first.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the book was opened, it would last from morning to night, and then another day and night, two whole days in the world. Qian Chao was deeply attracted by those books.
First of all, among the two books that Senior Sister Luo gave to Qian Chao, the "Lingwei Lu" can be regarded as an introductory book to the study of formations. The book explains to Qian Chao more generally about talisman. From the study of literary evolution, Qian Chao learned from this book "Lingweilu" that these runes are like some words written on paper in a book. Adding a stroke becomes another character, and the same is true for subtracting a stroke. The same is true for runes; in addition, the words used in daily life are used to express expressions. Several words together form a sentence to express one meaning, and several other words put together form another sentence. And this rune turned out to be the same. Before Qian Chao practiced qi, the runes were used together, that is, several different runes were used on one spiritual weapon. However, Qian Chao thought that those runes had functions and had no actual meaning. Now it seems that That's really not the case.
In addition to these, what surprised Qian Chao the most was that this rune also had the attributes of the five elements, but the book only mentioned it briefly without describing it in detail.
In addition to these, there are some simple rune evolution techniques in this "Lingwei Lu", and this rune evolution technique is the most basic thing in the formation science. Qian Chao is extremely smart, seeing At this time, he studied carefully and pondered carefully. Later, he took out a pen and paper and deduced each stroke by stroke according to what was said in the book before he had a rough understanding of it. In fact, this is no wonder for him, the book The runes used in it are very different from the runes used in the weapon refining technique that Qian Chao has mastered. They can almost be regarded as a different system. Qian Chao is not surprised by this. He once found some information about the talisman technique in the library. According to the records in some books, the runes used in the Talisman Technique are also different from the runes used in weapon refining.
Qian Chao discovered that a rune with the same meaning was written differently in the weapon refining technique, the talisman technique, and the formation technique. Although these three writing methods were somewhat similar, they looked very different after they were written.
It is also because the number of runes Qian Chao has mastered is still very small, and the book does not give many examples, so it is impossible to write a few more for comparison.
When he got here, Qian Chao's heart started to move. He had earlier felt that the art of talisman, the art of refining weapons and the art of formation were similar to some extent. It should be that the three methods were all based on In addition to the functions of runes, use different runes to achieve different functions; use higher-level runes or more runes to achieve higher-level functions.
The reason why these three methods are different is that first of all, the runes of different methods are written in different ways, and then the runes of different methods are used in different places. For example, in the art of weapon refining, the runes are mostly engraved with spiritual energy, leaving behind On objects made of gold and iron ore or on materials such as tendons and leather armor, the runes used in the talisman technique are mostly left on the talisman paper with a magic pen dipped in cinnabar. As for the array The art of law is more complex.
Qian Chao was thinking about it at this time. Senior Brother Cheng once told him about the Four Secrets of Jiuxuan, such as the Five Elements Magic, the Art of Refining Weapons, the Technique of Talisman and the Technique of Formation. Qian Chao has not practiced these Five Elements Magic, so it is hard to say. , but among the four arts, except for the five elements of magic, is it possible that the other three arts are actually a kind of knowledge?
Just like a tree that hugs each other, the tree body goes straight up and down, and only three main branches are separated at the top, and then each branch and leaf grows together to form a canopy-like crown, and the three main branches grow on the same trunk. above, are of the same origin.
If the three main branches are compared to the art of refining weapons, the art of talismans and the art of formations, and the trunk, Qian Chao believes that it should be a knowledge that he has not yet been exposed to. He temporarily calls it The science of runes.
You should have this knowledge! Qian Chao thought almost firmly.
Thinking of this, Qian Chao became melancholy. In his mind, he naturally didn't want to just look at the fish in the water by the river or the spring flowers on the mountainside. What he wanted to see was the whole continuous field. landscape, but I don’t know if I can achieve my wish.
After calming down, Qian Chao studied the "Mysterious Picture" again.
This "Mysterious Diagram" is a little simpler. It mainly contains the commonly used runes in the art of formation. It explains in detail the functions of these runes and how they evolve. Naturally, several of the runes used on Senior Sister Luo's Soul Locking Staple are all From here.
As for the few books that Senior Brother Xu left for him, it can be seen that they are all Senior Brother Xu's personal collection. The cover and binding of the book are different from the ten cabinets of books in the inner hall. It is not known where Senior Brother Xu got it from. It seems that this book was carefully collected by Senior Brother Xu. I must have obtained these books at that time. Then Xu Bo also spent a lot of effort, otherwise he wouldn't care for her so much.
These books are ordinary. Of course, they are some high-level weapon refining techniques, which are much stronger than ordinary books. However, since they are weapon refining techniques, they are not difficult for Qian Chao. After studying them carefully, Qian Chao then knew why Senior Brother Xu asked him to search for the method of refining the spirit-locking stake in these books.
In fact, to put it simply, these discussions already involve some methods of refining the magic weapons used by foundation-building monks.
The method of layered refining is mostly used to refine magic weapons for Foundation Establishment monks, such as refining a sword-like magic weapon for Foundation Establishment monks. After the runes are engraved on the sword blank with spiritual energy, gold and stone are then melted into juice, and then used This juice wraps the sword blank so that it can be integrated without damaging the runes engraved inside, forming a new sword blank, and then the runes are engraved on it, and so on, the runes are engraved layer by layer.
In fact, even the magic weapons used by the seniors who made pills mostly use this layer of refining techniques. However, the magic weapons are not only more complicated than the magic weapons when refining the weapons, but also the number of layers stacked is more. That’s just too much.
The rune evolution technique used in this soul-locking pile is actually simply adding or subtracting one stroke. A complete rune is divided into two layers of refining, the surface and the inside. The two layers are combined to be a complete one. Runes, but there needs to be an extra mark on the innermost part, so that when used, the complete runes composed of the outer and inner layers will work. If necessary, use a spell to remove the innermost layer of the Soul Locking Pile. Add one stroke, or subtract one stroke from the rune, and it will become a different rune, so the runes in the soul lock pile will change. Different runes will have different effects on the spiritual energy, either blocking, deflecting, or reducing it, etc. The five soul-locking piles all have such changes, and the runes on the five piles are related to each other. The center of the circle of piles forms a place where spiritual energy is disordered or where spiritual energy is forbidden. The monks or monsters trapped in the formation are constantly affected, either unable to cast spells or have rapid loss of spiritual energy all over their bodies. In the end, they can only be captured without help.
However, there is more than one rune on the soul-locking pile that Senior Sister Luo wants to refine. There are many winding runes all over it, and each one has its own changes. Therefore, even if Qian Chao roughly knows how to refine it, when it comes to actually refining it, I don't know how troublesome it is.
But for Qian Chao, he always has enough curiosity and patience to try new things that he has never done before.
In addition, the materials used for this Soul Locking Pole are quite simple, they only need to use patterned iron.
