The tobacco in the pipe was bright and dark, emitting green smoke.
Kang Fu held his pipe in his mouth and frowned as he listened to his disciple's words. At this time, Lu Pingchuan was spitting about how he beat up the monk who caused trouble for them outside. Kang Fu thought to himself, well, you shouldn't ask him. This kid is not lazy when he asks him to practice, but his brain is still a little weak and not very agile. Why did I feel so dizzy after talking for a long time that I didn't understand.
But at least Senior Kang has figured something out, that is, the three bad boys they met outside this time wanted to kidnap the little guy named Qian Chao, and then his apprentice and his few little ones. My partners took action with these three bad boys. With advance arrangements, they trapped two of them first, and then worked together to deal with one. Well, two of them died in the end, and they didn't count them as the ones who killed them. The last one was in the hands of the monsters, and they let them go.
That's probably what it means.
Okay, this kid can't explain it no matter what. Anyway, this matter involves Tang Bonian's precious granddaughter, and an evil sword is involved. Then he has to go to Old Man Tang to ask him carefully, so Old Man Tang will definitely ask about big things. If he still doesn't know, then he and Old Man Tang will go ask that girl.
"Okay, I heard a general idea," Kang Fu said, knocking the tobacco bag in his hand on the stone on the side, knocking out all the embers inside, and then pointed to the evil insect on the wooden table and said, "Here , I will teach you how to deal with this thing first, and then I will teach you the 'Art of Overlording the Body'. Since your cultivation is already at the fourth level, you can still use it even if you live. After you learn it, you must practice this skill diligently. , the benefits are endless, understand?”
"Hey, I understand!"
…
Qian Chao had already returned to his residence from Chengqi Hall. As night fell, he sat in front of the desk in his room.
On top of the desk was a new drawing he had made for Lu Pingchuan's armor, but it was not finished because he could not think of a better way to enhance the armor's protection, so he only scratched the beginning of the drawing. At this time, Qian Chao was immersed in reading a pile of books.
There were a lot of books obtained from outside this time. Qian Chao discovered that among the three people Dong Zhong, An Zhen and Yu Xi, the one named Yu Xi was a descendant of the Yu family in Yanzhou. In his storage bag He has the most books, among which two are most valued by Qian Chao, one is called "Yan Tu" and the other is called "Wenlin Secret Notes".
The book "Playing Pictures" is not a printed copy, but someone's handwriting and then bound. It is a thick book with slightly soft pages. It is obviously that it has been read frequently. There are only four words on the piece of paper after opening the cover:
"Mr. Yu mistook me"!
From top to bottom, these four words are dripping with ink, perverse and wild, making people feel a wave of hatred rushing towards them.
The Yu family probably refers to the Yu family in Yanzhou. The Yu family misunderstood me. It seems that Yu Xi has a lot of hatred for the Yu family in Yanzhou where he was born!
Turning to the next page, there was a preface written by Yu Xiang himself. Qian Chao read it and then understood why Yu Xiang had such strong hatred for his family. It turned out that this Yu Xiang had hated him since he was a child. He had a great interest in the study of formations passed down from his family. He himself could not be said to be extremely talented, but he was somewhat smart among his peers, and he was regarded as the leader among the younger generations of the Yu family at that time. He was naughty when he was young, and Yu Xi was very attracted by the books in the family library, so he longed to go to the library to read the books in it. However, the library was an important forbidden area of the Yu family. The traditional formation techniques are all contained in it, so the Yu family arranged heavy formation protection inside and outside the library pavilion.
But who would have expected that Yu Xi relied on the formation skills he had learned and his constant speculation and deduction, and he was able to break through the blocking formations step by step when no one was around, and stepped into that Inside the library. There were not many books on the first floor of the library, but they were extremely precious to Xi. He sneaked in several times to steal the books inside, and after reading them, he sneaked in and put the books back to their original places. It's just that after reading the books on the first floor, if you want to continue looking for books, you have to go to the second floor. However, a more powerful formation is arranged on the stairs from the first floor to the second floor. Yu Xian thought hard for a long time. He just came up with a way to crack it, but it was a pity that he underestimated the arrangement of his elders, and the method he used was wrong at all. After only a few steps on the stairs, the formation was triggered, and he was imprisoned and couldn't move. This was naturally... The people of the Yu family were alarmed, so he was captured.
Originally, the person in charge of the Yu family was surprised that this child could break the formation of the library. Considering the child's intelligence, he wanted to let him go. If he was trained well in the future, he might become a pillar of the Yu family in the future.
It's a pity that Yu Xian didn't know that what he did had completely triggered the sharp conflicts that already existed among the factions within the Yu family and within each house.
At that time, some people advocated severely punishing Yu Xi as a warning to others, while others advocated a slight punishment and careful training. After that, there were fierce quarrels, and the family was restless.
Later, things developed even more intensely. Several juniors in the family who were in the same grade as Yu Xi disappeared inexplicably, and important items were stolen inexplicably. The atmosphere in the Yu family became even more tense. This mutual criticism has even become tense, and the Yu family is also facing a situation of falling apart.
In desperation, the person in charge of the Yu family had no choice but to clean up the mess.
The first is Yu Xi. As the person who caused the civil strife in the Yu family, even if the head of the Yu family wanted to take sides, he couldn't do it at this time. It happened to be the year of the first election, so Yu Xi was forced to join the Wuling Sect. Of course, at the beginning, the head of the Yu family made an agreement with Yu Xian that his going to the Wuling Sect was only a temporary stopgap measure. After the internal affairs of the Yu family calmed down, he would be taken back and focused on training. He can be regarded as being selected by the Yu family. Come out to the Wuling Sect.
However, the development of things is often unexpected. Less than twenty years after Yu Xi arrived at Wuling Sect, the head of the Yu family passed away. After a fight, a new head came to the throne. The new head advocated severe punishment for Yu Xi back then. Naturally, He didn't know how to make the decision to take Yu Xi back to the Yu family. In this way, Yu Xi went from being selected to enter the Wuling Sect to being sent out by the Yu family to enter the Wuling Sect. He was almost abandoned by the family he was born in!
Seeing this, Qian Chao understood why Yu Xian hated his Yu family.
Later, Yu Xi wrote that the content of this book was based on his memory and recorded the essence of the books on the first floor of his home library. According to what Yu Xi said in the preface, he also He didn't fully understand it, and there were probably misunderstandings, so he often deeply regretted it. Perhaps if he could fully understand the book on the first floor and integrate it, he might have cracked the code on the stairs. It shouldn't be difficult to go straight to the second floor with the formation, but it's a pity that he was young and frivolous at the time and made a big mistake, and now it's too late to regret it.
However, Yu Xi admitted frankly in the preface that if one day he succeeds in his cultivation, he must return to the Yu family to call for justice. Even if he does not severely punish those who abandoned him back then, the library will not let him go. He must first Take away all the books in the building, and then burn the library clean to relieve your hatred!
Seeing this, Qian Chao shook his head slightly.
However, the content recorded in that book really opened Qian Chao's eyes.
Speaking of Qian Chao's formation techniques, apart from secretly learning Luo Ying's Soul Locking Formation, he also learned a "Hidden Spirit Formation" outside the main sect when he was out. He has never had the opportunity to get a book about formations. He carefully studied the classics on the study of law. Although the things recorded in Yu Xian's "Yan Tu" were quite messy. He excerpted the contents from many books and compiled them together, but for Qian Chao, it was already a great success. It is so precious that although Qian Chao later discovered many omissions and even errors in Yu Xi’s understanding of this book, Qian Chao would later use this book as a stepping stone to close the original study of formations. The door forcefully opened a gap that was large enough for him to step in. When he squeezed in through the gap, he saw a completely different world!
In addition to this book "Yantu", it was the "Wenlin Secret Notes" that surprised Qian Chao.
When he saw Yu Xi's body in Pipa Ridge, Qian Chao used his blue eye technique to find strange embroidery all over his body. At that time, Qian Chao felt that Yu Xi was being pulled hard by two monster insects. He was able to persist for so long because the embroidery all over his body provided him with a lot of protection, allowing his body to withstand more injuries to a certain extent like physical training.
And this "Wenlin Secret Notes" provides Qian Chao with the answer.
Yu Xi wrote in fine writing in the margins of this book: This kind of pattern looks like flowers, birds, fish, and dragons, but in fact there are secret talismans hidden in it. The French characters of the talisman are written under the skin. They are not visible on weekdays and are not known to others. If it is used to flush it with spiritual energy, it will have the effect of a talisman.
What this sentence means is that the embroidered tattoo patterns on the book look the same as flowers, birds, fish and dragons, but in fact there are runes hidden in them. Using a technique called the "talisman method", you can Tattoo these patterns on people's bodies, and then they will be hidden. Even if you take off your robe, the embroidery will not be seen. If you encounter something, you can mobilize your own spiritual energy in the embroidery to inspire The runes hidden in the embroidery will exert the same power as the talismans.
Qian Chao was very excited after reading this passage, especially when he later saw a talisman writing method called "Hand Eye Technique", which surprised Qian Chao even more.
Qian Chao had his own Blue Eyes Technique, and the function of the Blue Eyes Technique was to allow him to see spiritual energy, which gave him an advantage. Not only was it helpful in refining weapons, but he could also discover some spiritual energy outside the sect. Formations that ordinary people cannot discover, after all, there are runes written and engraved with spiritual energy in all formations, otherwise it cannot be called a formation. In the world of spiritual practice, Qian Chao's Blue Eyes Technique is really rare. It is not yet known if there is any magic similar to Qian Chao's, but this "Hand Eye Technique" is somewhat similar to Qian Chao's "Blue Eyes Technique".
That is to use the "talisman method" to engrave a complex pattern similar to the human eye on the back of a person's hand. When using it, he uses his own spiritual energy supplemented by hand formulas to stimulate the pattern, and then covers his eyes with that hand. You can use the "eye" on the back of your hand to see the things in front of you. If there are traces of spiritual energy left, you can see everything at a glance. Speaking of which, when Yu Xi saw that Dong Min was trapped and unable to move, he suspected that this was how he could tell that Dong Min was trapped within the formation.
It turns out that there really is a method similar to his "Blue Eyes Technique", Qian Chao secretly thought, but this "hand eye technique" is much more troublesome than his "Blue Eyes Technique". When he uses the "Blue Eyes Technique", he can do things with both hands. And this "hand-eye technique" is not used at least when refining weapons. After all, it still requires one hand.
But if the pattern of this hand and eye technique is tattooed in the middle of the forehead, when the time comes to refine the weapon, the eyes will be closed tightly, and the drawn eye on the forehead will blink. Thinking about it, it is really... a bit scary, or... Forget it, this "hand-eye technique" is not as good as Qian Chao's own blue eye technique.
After seeing what happened next, Qian Chao gave up the idea of using the "talisman method" to make a beautiful embroidery on his body, because Qian Chao knew that the power of the talisman made with the talisman method could be large or small. The functions are also different, but the talismans made by the Qi Refining monks and the Foundation Establishment monks are definitely different. The power of the talismans of the Foundation Establishment monks must be much greater than that of the Qi Refining monks. Suppose that I also have the talismans all over my body on a whim. They are all filled with the embroidery in the book, which may help me during the Qi refining stage, but if I build my foundation in the future, the effect of this embroidery will be greatly reduced. The only thing that has been rummaged through in this book is the method of writing talismans, but there is no record of how to erase the embroidery that has been tattooed on the body, so there is no room to replace yourself with a more powerful and useful embroidery. pattern, then this method is not that useful.
However, the talisman method in this "Wenlin Secret Notes" is a good thing. Among Qian Chao's weapon refining skills, what he is best at is using materials such as gold and stone to refine weapons. This does not mean that he He has no ingenuity and doesn't care about the precious leather tendons or feathers of monster birds obtained from outside monsters. There is just one thing that has been bothering him here, that is, in these precious leather horns obtained from monsters outside. The method of engraving runes on materials has always been problematic. Qian Chao has always used the method of engraving runes on gold and stone materials when dealing with this type of material. The materials are different but the method is the same. This is definitely inappropriate. At least that method is most suitable for gold and stone. On the material. No matter how Qian Chao browsed various books in the library or asked the senior brothers in Chengqi Hall, he could not find a better way. Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about the drum that Qian Chao himself used many times outside. Qian Chao has never been very satisfied with that thing, although the effect is pretty good when used. Also, on the island where he found the spiritual spring water, he got a few feathers of the mid-level demon bird sparrow. If that thing is refined properly, it should be able to become a powerful spiritual weapon. Unfortunately, there is no good way to use it. Engraving runes, fearing that this good thing would be ruined by a slight mistake, Qian Chao has been hesitant whether to keep those precious feathers.
But now that he has this method of writing talismans, it has opened up another path for Qian Chao's weapon refining skills!
Of course, there are far more useful things in this book than the magic of talismans. The second half of this book is not the same book as the "Secret Notes of Wenlin". It looks like the book that Yu Xi came from out of nowhere. I found a headless and tailless scroll and bound it together with the "Wenlin Secret Notes". The second half of the book records almost in detail how to make talisman paper and how to prepare cinnabar. How to choose the ink pen, how to draw the talisman and how to use the talisman.
I've trampled all over the place and found nowhere!
Qian Chao felt like he had found a treasure when he saw this, and his hands holding the book were trembling slightly!
At this time, Qian Chao felt very sorry for Yu Xi. This man's intelligence was far beyond ordinary people, and the things he left behind helped him much more than he imagined. It's a pity... Well, with someone like An Zhen If they get together, if they don't make a mistake, they might actually become a great person in the future.
…
In the darkness of the night, a burly and stout figure came out of Elder Tang Bonian's cave in Shuiyun Valley in a hurry and angrily. The figure flew up very quickly and headed towards Jiuxuan.
That was Senior Kang Fukang.
In Tang Bonian's place, he finally understood the cause and effect of his precious apprentice's injury outside. Only then did he realize that it was all because of the disagreement between Elder Jiuxuan Wen Mianwen's precious grandson and granddaughter, and that damn Wen Zhang was causing trouble for Wenyuan behind his back. , and then under the inducement, the three boys were lured to find trouble with a few of his apprentices.
In fact, according to Senior Kang's temper, he didn't care about the mischief of these children.
But what made him unhappy was that his apprentice was also tricked by Na Wen Zhang, and he was the only one injured among them. However, old Wen Mian only ran over to apologize to Tang Bonian and Fairy Gu Huo. This makes Senior Kang extremely dissatisfied.
Why, is it possible that only Tang Ping, a girl with a good background, you, Wen Mian, look down upon and think you can't offend her, but you, my apprentice, think it doesn't matter and you can neglect her?
Wouldn't that be a slight on my old Kang!
That won't work!
Well, since you don't come to see me, don't blame me, I'm going to visit you tonight.
In this way, Senior Kang Fukang, who ranked first among the five most unreasonable people in the Wuling Sect and was praised by others as "talking about the cauldron and turning the poor into a poor cook", was so angry that he broke into Senior Wen's cave in the middle of the night. It turned the place upside down and made the chickens and dogs restless!
It wasn't until midnight that Senior Kang returned to his cave with satisfaction under Senior Wen's plea.
