The next morning, Lu Cheng went to the small courtyard where Wu Luo was.
There are five young witches under Wu Luo, two boys and three girls. The oldest is thirty years old, named "Wu Qin", a female cultivator; the second is Wu Ming, a male cultivator; the third is Wu Ming, a male cultivator. Qi, twenty-five years old; next is Wu Liu, also a woman, eighteen years old; and the youngest is Lu Cheng, thirteen years old.
Wu Luo is not only Wu Sheng's concubine, but also one of the seven great witches under Wu Sheng. Her skill is much higher than that of the great witch Wuhuan of the Poyi tribe. The Wuhuan is only the third level of the great witch, which is equivalent to the third level of innateness. And Wu Luo is the sixth level of great witch. There are seven realms of great witches in total, and the ones above are spiritual witches.
When Lu Cheng first arrived, he learned how to make talisman paper from Wu Qi.
Wu Luo said that she needed a lot of talisman paper. The more talismans she drew, the faster her skills would improve. Moreover, the talismans she drew could also be provided to the Witch Temple, which would sell them to many warriors. The Jiu Clan has countless warriors, and the battle with monsters is fierce in some places, so the more talismans needed, the better.
At this time, Wu Qi seemed more patient and slowly explained the steps of making talisman paper.
Although Lu Cheng had learned it before, he still listened patiently.
In his opinion, the steps for making talisman paper have something in common with modern tanning. Over time, he can make some improvements, but it is not possible yet.
You have to be down-to-earth. When you first arrived, you wanted to make changes. What did Wu Qi and Wu Luo think? What do the other little witches think?
Technological innovation is not that easy, and it might be considered heresy.
There are more than a dozen processes in making talisman paper, and two processes need to be completed every day. If you can't finish it in the morning, you don't have to stay in Wu Luo's courtyard. You can take the animal skin back to the cave and work overtime. Lu Cheng carefully followed the steps and made the talisman paper quietly. This attitude made Wu Qi very satisfied.
After more than ten days, he became proficient in making talisman paper.
At this time, Wu Qi stopped paying attention and let him operate independently.
On this day, Qingmei came back from the city and brought back 20 sable skins, 5 tiger skins, and 10 snow leopard skins.
Lu Cheng asked: "How many jade coins did these cost?"
Qingmei replied: "These are all materials for making talisman paper. They are not cheap, a total of 325 jade coins."
Lu Cheng said: "It's okay."
Qingmei smiled and said: "Among them, tiger skin is the most expensive, costing 25 jade coins; snow leopard skin costs 10 jade coins; sable skin costs 5 jade coins."
Lu Cheng thought for a while and said, "It seems that these beasts are very common. The price of the hide is related to the difficulty of hunting."
"Yes, when I was in Qingqiu Country, I saw a lot of these wild beasts. Especially tigers and snow leopards, which can be said to be the natural enemies of the Fox Clan. Fortunately, the Fox Clan has the Qingqiu Mental Technique. As long as you practice the two-tailed fox, you are not afraid of ordinary wild beasts. ; We have three-tailed foxes and four-tailed foxes, which can protect the basic safety of the fox clan. The most terrifying thing is not the wild beasts, but those monster beasts that have evolved through cultivation..."
"I can buy more sable skins next time."
"Okay, I remember."
After a while, Qingmei said again: "Brother, I also spent 50 jade coins to get a map from Li Ju, a senior of the Fox clan."
"Really? Take it out quickly."
Qingmei spread out a three-foot piece of parchment on the table.
Lu Cheng looked carefully and found that there were dozens of cities marked on the map. This was only a part of the Jiu Clan's area. With the feudal city as the center, it traveled fifty days in four directions: east, west, north, and south.
According to the walking speed of ordinary people in this world, walking one hundred miles in one day would be five thousand miles in fifty days.
The map marks some large mountains, rivers, forests, lakes, areas where various beasts gather, and places rich in products.
Lu Cheng looked at it for a while and praised: "Very good! Maps like this are very valuable! Collect more in the future, it doesn't matter how many jade coins you spend!"
Qingmei smiled and nodded.
At night, Lu Cheng lay on the wooden bed, his mind wandering, and he returned to modern times.
Turning around, he saw his wife Jiang Qiuyun lying quietly beside him.
Without disturbing his wife, he quietly got up and went to the yard to absorb the moonlight.
The main techniques he practices are Tianlong Jue and Five Qi Guiyuan Jue, which can absorb all kinds of spiritual energy, whether it is the sun, moon or stars, whether the spiritual energy comes from the air or the ground, it can be absorbed, refined and condensed into the vertebrae.
After standing in the yard for half an hour, he returned to the living room, turned on the computer, and looked through the "Illustrated Stone Tomb" unearthed from the Wulian Tomb.
There are a total of seventy-two postures in the "Illustration of Stone Tombs". The beginning includes flying dragon feet, white ape arms, bull-mauling hands, hungry tiger pounces, Zhongxiong leaning, and well-sitting frogs. These are 7 basic body-training postures; Then there are five postures such as Hulu Pheasant, which imitate the five common animals of chicken, cow, dog, sheep, and pig respectively, and are used to cultivate the five internal organs; and there are 60 pictures after that, which Lu Cheng has not yet studied carefully.
Starting from the 13th picture to the 20th picture, they are all in the form of birds. The rune notes below say that this is called the "Seven Black Bird Postures", which correspond to the five lumbar vertebrae, plus the sacral vertebrae and Caudal vertebrae.
From the 21st to the 33rd picture, it is called the "Twelve Phoenix Postures", which corresponds to the practice of the twelve thoracic vertebrae. This belongs to the realm of spiritual warriors.
Pictures 34-41 are called "Seven Dragon Soaring Postures", corresponding to the practice of the seven cervical vertebrae. This belongs to the level of Tianwu Master.
When Lu Cheng saw the 41st picture, he didn't look back because the realm was too far away.
He searched for black birds online.
What is a black bird? Blackbirds are owl, horned dove, and dove, which are forest raptors that can prey on monkeys and sheep.
The so-called "Guan Guan dove, in the river island" is a kind of vulture, it is not a gentle bird.
"The eagle dove is as big as an owl. It has deep eyes and exposed bones. People in Youzhou call it an eagle."
"Jiu Jiu, Wang Ju, is a species of wither. Nowadays, it is called an osprey in the east of the Yangtze River. It is good for eating fish by the Jiangzhu Mountain."
"Mao Shi·Biography" says: Birds and vultures are different.
The black bird is the symbol of the Shang Dynasty.
"Book of Songs·Ode to Shang·Xuanniao": "The mysterious bird of destiny descended and gave birth to Shang."
Someone explained that the black bird is a swallow.
In fact, the black bird is a sacred bird in ancient myths and legends, and its initial image resembles a swallow. Since it is a divine bird, how could it be a swallow?
The ancients worshiped strength, the vulture was a symbol of strength, and the little swallow was the beautiful imagination of future generations.
Lu Cheng had reason to suspect that the dove tribe in the Shan Hai Jing world worshiped the vulture as a bird totem, and they also had a secret mental method that was related to the "Seven Black Bird Styles".
On top of the "Seven Black Bird Styles", there are the "Twelve Phoenix Styles", which should come from the mentality of the Phoenix Clan.
There are also "Seven Postures of Soaring Dragon" above. Where do these postures come from?
Lu Cheng searched around on the Internet and entered the words "Xuanniao", "Phoenix" and "Dragon".
Suddenly, he saw someone asking this question: "The totem of Shang Dynasty is the black bird, the totem of Zhou Dynasty is phoenix, and after the Qin and Han Dynasties, the totem of China is dragon. What changes have been experienced during this period? Why is this happening?"
Seeing this question, Lu Cheng was stunned!
"Yeah, why is that?"
There are many answers to this question. The father-in-law is right, the mother-in-law is right, but the final reason is unclear.
If we look at the "Stone Tomb Illustrated Records", we have found the answer, "Seven Forms of Black Bird", "Twelve Forms of Phoenix", and then "Seven Forms of Dragon Soaring", which are in the same line!
Lu Cheng sat blankly for a while, and when he woke up, it was almost dawn.
Jiang Qiuyun, who was like a green lotus, came over swaying in the wind and asked softly: "I see you have been sitting there for a long time, what are you thinking about?"
Lu Cheng reached out and hugged her slender waist, and slowly expressed his doubts.
Jiang Qiuyun smiled sweetly and said: "Don't think so much. Try practicing the "Seven Forms of the Black Bird". If it's effective, keep practicing."
Lu Cheng was suddenly enlightened and said with a smile: "Yes, so far, the effect of Stone Tomb Picture Book is very good."
Afterwards, there was a tenderness, the clouds were rising, the rain was falling, the wind and the moon were always new.
Lu Cheng took out the "Wuzhi Powder" and said: "Brew a spoonful of it every day and drink it as tea. It will help improve the internal Qi of the five internal organs."
Jiang Qiuyun put it into the storage bracelet and went to prepare breakfast.
