Two days later, Guo Tunan, the Duke of Zhenguo, really got Li Fan the ghost he wanted.
This is after the demon-suppressing officer processed Wang Qicai's corpse, and the strange objects disassembled from it were somewhere between exotic treasures and evil spirits.
In essence, it is the source of strangeness.
Li Xin was quite curious about Li Fan's choice, so he called him over and asked: "What is your purpose for this ghost? Do you want to control it?"
"I plan to integrate it into my right arm and try to see if it can be condensed into a new magic."
Li Fang hadn't had time to tell Li Xin about the "Foreign Technique (Shadow Catching)", so he took this opportunity to talk vaguely.
After listening to this, Li Xin thought thoughtfully: "The phenomenon of strange fusion is also recorded in the notes left by your great-grandfather and your grandfather, but the cause is unknown..."
Of course, we don’t know the reason. People who don’t have the discernment to see the truth are simply blind and guessing when exploring.
Many times, a slight difference can make a thousand miles difference, which cannot be compared with using your own eyes to guide.
However, Li Chuan didn't explain much and just suggested that he should give it a try.
He already had some confidence in his future and was about to take this opportunity to verify it.
It’s about the essence, the puzzle, and the key to mastering the mysterious realm.
Everything will be confirmed in this attempt.
This is much more meaningful than whether the ghost's power is strong or weak.
…
In the east courtyard of the Hou Mansion, in the study.
"Sir, everything you asked me to prepare has been packed."
Ruyue stood by and after some preparations, reported to Li Kuan.
"Very well, put them all aside for emergencies."
Li Ao closed the book he was reading, summoned the Golden Bottle of the Eight Immortals and took a sip of wine. Then he took out a simple-looking clay pot from the cabinet next to him and began to summon Xiao Qingyi's right arm.
Under the pressure of this exotic treasure arm, the clay pot deformed and shattered, and a ghostly shadow exuding an evil chill inside slowly overflowed, like ink flowing towards the arm that touched it.
This clay pot is a method of suppressing ghosts discovered by the Demon Suppression Division. The ghosts of the underworld seem to have the characteristic of being at peace with the earth, or perhaps they can become quiet by hiding in dark corners. They have been well sealed before. Once After being liberated, he instinctively goes out, and when he encounters a living person, he wants to attach himself to him or seize his body.
If you leave it alone, it is very likely that living people will suffer disaster, have their bodies invaded, and be demonized.
However, Li Chuan had quick eyesight and quick hands, and was the first to use the strange power contained in his arm to catch it. At this time, he used "different skills (shadow catching)" to activate the power of the same source.
As if two drops of water merged together, the two strange sources of origin that were originally from the same source quickly condensed into one place.
"Exotic treasure (Xiao Qingyi's right arm) (dark gold demonic body) (absorbing source matter)"
(Combined from the same source, merging)
From the same source!
As expected, it was a success!
The process of controlling this ghost was much smoother than expected. Li Fan had just used his own spirit to guide the beginning, and saw black lines appearing on his snow-white jade arms, like tattoos. .
It seems to move according to one's own will, spreading over the skin and transforming into complex and regular patterns.
But gradually, the lines began to fly, showing a natural evolution that was not controlled by the mind. It looked a bit like the diffraction pattern left on the sand table after the sound wave oscillated.
The ghost's own will, Li Fan's will, and even the will of Xiao Qingyi's right arm itself...
It's all a delicate balance here.
These lines spread all the way up until they covered the entire arm before slowly stopping.
The lines made of thick ink seemed to have a spirit, and seemed to have the rhythm of life, slowly squirming in place, as if just looking at it, one could feel the darkness and evil hidden inside.
But in the meantime, there seems to be another strange force originating from the dark gold demonic body.
That is the strange force that causes metalization.
They are competing for the control of this arm, but they form a check and balance force, and no one is willing to give in to the other.
"It seems to have become lighter and more flexible?"
Li Chuan was overjoyed.
When these forces gradually reached a balance, he could clearly feel an inexplicable sense of blood connection. The part of flesh and blood that originally had the same bloodline as his body seemed to be able to sense his thoughts and become easier to control.
This was actually an unexpected surprise, because this time, Li Chuan's greater purpose was to confirm that the ghost shadow had indeed turned into a strange creature of the same origin, and could be integrated into his arm through the magic he had successfully obtained before.
Looking closely, the handwriting condensed by pale firelight showed different messages.
"Special Art (Shadow Catching)"
"Able to cause demonic pollution by contacting the target's spiritual body."
"Able to cause restraint by contacting the target's spiritual body."
The strengthened magic shadow-catching is finally no longer useless, but it still belongs to the dispensable type. Other magic abilities can also cause pollution, and the use of strange power to forcefully restrain the enemy can also restrict the enemy's movement.
Its greater value is to suppress the metalization of the dark gold demonic body and eliminate certain negative effects.
As long as this kind of ghost-condensed tattoo exists, it will be difficult for the dark gold demon body's deterioration to spread.
According to the exploration of the Demon Suppressor, the ghost itself also has a negative impact, that is, it may break away from the body and move around.
It also contains the strange power of skinning, which may tear one's own skin and flesh when leaving the body.
But Li Fan chose to use Xiao Qingyi's right arm to control it, which effectively bound it to his arm. This negative impact was obviously offset.
The reason is still the metallic power of the Dark Gold Demonic Body, which seems to be able to restrain this.
It's like two perfectly fitting puzzle pieces that fix each other into the blocks.
The second attempt was successful again.
The puzzle of mutual checks and balances can indeed harmonize the source of strangeness, and even increase the stability of both at the same time!
“The barriers to fusion of homologous sources are small, and it is almost guaranteed to be strengthened and promoted, and the new pollution caused seems to be far less than that of heterologous sources.
In the future, we should find ways to integrate the puzzle pieces and try to make them integrate all the powers they have and condense them into one.
Puzzles that check and balance each other can increase the stability of both at the same time, achieving the effect of improving each other rather than weakening them!
But this relies more on luck, and you need to have the right amount of weird power to use. "
Li Chuan was dictating, while Ming Ruyue was standing by to help him record these valuable experiences.
In fact, even if this is recorded, it will not be easy for future generations to imitate it if they have the opportunity to see it.
Because this is in line with his own actual summary of experience.
Without the vision of seeing the true Dharma, the so-called fusion of origins is not easy to achieve. It relies more on the instinctive mutual attraction between the strange origins.
Not to mention the low efficiency, it may also be contaminated by other strange sources during the process, thus changing its shape.
The same is true for Jigsaw's checks and balances. Even the nature of the strange power cannot be identified, so it is difficult to guess whether they can check and balance each other.
However, Li Ao recorded these just as a reminder.
What follows is some speculations he made after reading the information during his recent recuperation.
That is the true attempt to grasp the mysterious realm contained in the lantern fire...
