A strange picture was reflected in the mirror. On a certain round boulder deep in the dark bottom of the pool, the shadow of a giant turtle about one foot long was crawling in the center of the boulder, with a gray pill in its mouth. .
The giant turtle's shadow was like a stone sculpture, and it posed in a strange posture for a long time. However, the gray pills emitted wisps of gray light from time to time, constantly nourishing its almost transparent body.
Obviously, this corpse turtle is not dead, but is slowly recovering relying on the corpse pill.
Such a scene couldn't help but make Mo Juren frown. If he saw it correctly, this was obviously practicing, and it was some kind of spiritual cultivation method, similar to ghost cultivation.
However, this is too unbelievable. After all, the other party is just a monster. It has been dead for many years but by chance, a new consciousness was born, thus transforming into a corpse cultivator.
This is okay, after all, the level of the monster before death was high enough, and it makes sense to master some inheritance. But that’s just ordinary cultivation. How could he even know the method of ghost cultivation? That is an evil cultivation method that is extremely rare among the human race.
Those who didn't know thought it was not a monster, but a human monk wearing the shell of a monster.
This matter was just his guess, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He couldn't be sure whether it was good or bad. He could only wait until he went out to inform the sect of the situation, and let the higher-ups make the decision.
Moreover, his mission this time was just to investigate the situation, and he was not responsible for killing this monster.
Thinking of this, he decided to stop observing. However, when he was about to cut off the blood moon mirror's induction, a strange scene suddenly appeared.
A hazy human face suddenly appeared out of thin air on the back of the giant turtle shadow deep in the pool. The face was a bit old, and the beard, hair, and eyebrows were all white, giving people a sense of immortality.
The man's face looked straight up into the sky, his eyebrows trembled slightly, as if he was a little confused, and there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
"This..." Mo Juren's expression changed slightly. Sure enough, this ten-thousand-year-old corpse turtle is definitely not a simple corpse monster. There must be inextricable connections with the human monks behind it.
But what happened? Who could that face be? But he was completely confused.
Thinking of this, he immediately took out a jade slip and engraved the face of the person on it. Maybe after he went out, the elders of the sect would understand something.
The human-faced spirit stared at the sky for a moment, but after all, there was still no movement. The next moment, it disappeared, and the giant turtle continued to maintain its original posture and practice.
After thinking for a moment, Mo Juren put the treasure mirror away directly, not intending to dwell on the matter anymore. Without any hesitation, he turned around and left the formation, and then his body shape changed, and he flickered away in the other direction of the barren mountain.
As for the situation at the bottom of the pond, he will report it truthfully to Dongmen Tu after the trip to the Talisman Burial Valley is over. Naturally, the other party will worry about how to deal with it, so he is too lazy to intervene.
…
After walking through the barren mountains for a while, they stopped until they reached a remote mountain wall.
He looked around for a while, then nodded slightly. Unlike other disciples, he has the detailed information provided by Dongmen Tu, and naturally knows the inheritance position of each Talisman Master clearly.
The smooth mountain wall in front of you is one of them, and it is also the place where the legendary Talisman Saint 'Tianmiao Zhenren' is seated.
A top-notch magical formation was set up on the mountain wall, with extremely strong transformation and shielding abilities. Even with the strength of his consciousness, it would be difficult to detect any abnormalities without close observation.
It seems like a real mountain wall, perfectly integrated with the entire mountain.
To be honest, although he knew the location, he was not sure at all. The reason why I came here was just out of inner curiosity and a bit of unwillingness. I thought that after finally coming in, wouldn't I regret not going to see it?
Besides, there is no danger. If there is really no chance, he will naturally give up immediately, or even leave the barren mountain area directly, so as to choose a worse Talisman Master to inherit.
While thinking about it, he stepped forward and walked forward. The moment he got close to the mountain wall, he didn't encounter any obstacles and sank straight into it like a mud cow entering the sea.
After entering the mountain wall, what you see is just an ordinary stone chamber. It is not big, only two feet square. The room was empty, except for a three-foot-tall stone tablet standing in the center.
There is no other way out of the stone room. Except for the entrance, the other three sides are covered with thick stone walls.
However, Mo Juren, who knew the inside story, knew very well that these stone walls were not as seamless as they seemed. There were restrictions formed by formations inside, and only the correct method could find the exit.
Looking at the stone tablet in the center again, this object is the real core of this place. Likewise, it is also the test left by Master Tianmiao.
The stone tablet is engraved with countless complicated patterns, which are some kind of runes. Only by deciphering the secrets can it be considered as passing, thereby gaining part of the other party's inheritance.
Yes, that's part of it.
How can the inheritance left by a Talisman Saint be so easy to obtain? According to the information given by Dongmen Tu, there are not a few Talisman Masters who have entered this place in the history of Yuling Sect, including those who have great experience in Talisman Dao in the past dynasties. Interested elders.
However, with so many people coming here, only a few have actually obtained the inheritance, and even each of them has only passed one to three tests and obtained a partial inheritance.
Mo Juren naturally has little confidence, but that doesn't mean he will give up directly. He has to give it a try. What if he is lucky and succeeds?
Walking closer to the stone monument, he carefully observed the dazzling inscriptions. From the beginning, he was careless and muddle along, but then he got deeper and deeper, the look on his face gradually became serious, and there was a trace of surprise and surprise in his heart that could not be concealed.
He never expected that the writing and transformation of these runes had many similarities with his talisman style.
This is really surprising. You must know that the spiritual talismans he drew are essentially derived from the monster clan. They have evolved from generation to generation over thousands of years. The inherited talents hidden deep in the blood are embodied in him with the help of auxiliary devices. Illusory marks are formed in the sea of consciousness.
Now these marks have been absorbed by the Six Paths Edict and become part of it, but they can still be seen clearly.
The Five Elements and Thunder and Lightning Orders are things that are deeply related to the laws of heaven and earth, and it is self-evident what they mean.
The runes on this stone tablet are somewhat similar to it, which makes people think of it. Is it possible that the ultimate goal of the Talisman Master is the law of heaven and earth? Outlined with runes, the power that drives the law?
As a first-generation talisman saint, Master Tianmiao is already the ceiling of the human world's talisman masters, and his style of drawing spiritual talismans is very representative.
Of course, these are just his guesses. But whether it was right or wrong, it didn't matter to him at the moment. What really mattered was that this situation was obviously extremely beneficial to him.
Forcibly suppressing the ups and downs in his heart, he continued to comprehend.
He has drawn too many runes, and many of them have become instinctive. With this similar style as the basis, when he looks at these runes again, they immediately become familiar and simple.
Time passed quickly, and one day and one night passed in the blink of an eye.
Mo Juren had been sitting cross-legged in front of the stone tablet, staring straight ahead, as if he had fallen into some kind of epiphany.
Until the sky turned dark again, his brows suddenly jumped, his eyes became lively, and a relieved smile instantly appeared on his originally stiff cheeks.
"It seems you succeeded?" Yin Yue's voice sounded in his ears, with a hint of surprise. She also looked at the dazzling runes on the stone tablet for a while, but she felt her head was spinning and she couldn't make out the slightest clue. However, it only took a moment for the other party to fall into the epiphany that practitioners dream of. He was definitely a genius among geniuses. .
Naturally, she didn't know that the other party had such an outstanding performance due to the light of a similar rune style. If it were replaced with other regular runes, the result would definitely be different.
"It's just a fluke!" Mo Juren was in a good mood at the moment and did not deny it, but replied with a smile.
"I have a headache looking at these inscriptions. What are they?" Yinyue was really curious and asked again.
"Of course it's a spiritual talisman. To be precise, it's the universal spiritual talisman that breaks the first restriction..." Mo Juren briefly explained a few words, then flipped his palm, a talisman pen shining with purple-gold brilliance, and a box of high-end Talisman ink made of demon blood appeared, plus a thick pile of blank talisman paper.
Looking at the familiar three-piece suit, he felt a long-lost excitement in his heart. Time was precious, so he started drawing without any delay.
Different from the almost instinctive re-enactment of the past, this time he relied on his own talisman-making ability to actually draw, and the success rate naturally dropped significantly.
But even so, with his cultivation and consciousness comparable to those in the Nascent Soul stage, as well as many years of experience in making talismans, it was far less difficult to draw than he imagined.
As he kept trying and failing, he achieved his first success after only spending more than forty pieces of blank rune paper. Looking at the spiritual talisman flowing in his hand, he suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment that he had never felt before.
He directly pasted the talisman on the top of the stone tablet. In an instant, the runes on the surface of the stele began to flow, and a strange beam of light burst out, reflecting on a stone wall in the form of a talisman.
At the same time, the surface of the wall began to change, and a stone door shrouded in spiritual light emerged.
Mo Juren stepped forward and pushed hard on the stone door with his palm. With a dull sound, the stone door opened in response, revealing a narrow passage. What was connected to the other end was another stone room.
Stepping into it, I found that the layout here was 90% similar to the first stone chamber, except that the space was a bit larger, and behind the stone monument stood a round stone pillar, with an ancient jade placed at the top. simple.
"This should be the inheritance that has passed the first test." Mo Juren thought in his heart, then stepped forward to pick up the jade slip and examined it with his spiritual consciousness.
Sure enough, as recorded, this is the reward for the first level. It contains dozens of methods for refining ancient spiritual talismans. Each of them has a unique style and can be called exquisite, but unfortunately they are all only rudimentary.
This jade slip is not a secret. It has been seen by the Talisman masters who have entered this place in the past, and a copy was placed on the first floor of the sect secret pavilion for all disciples who are interested in Talisman Dao to read. look. Even some enlightenment textbooks on the Tao of Talisman in Tianfu Peak also include these spiritual talismans in the jade slips.
He also made a copy, then put the jade slip back to its original place, and then sat cross-legged in front of the stone tablet again and began to meditate.
Compared with before, the runes on the stone tablet in front of you have become more complex, and the difficulty has naturally increased significantly. In the past, many rune masters who thought they were geniuses were stumped by this level.
Mo Juren's situation is an obvious exception. He has mastered the correct problem-solving ideas and understood everything. Instead of improving, the difficulty of understanding has decreased.
Two days later, he had once again comprehended all three talismans on the stone tablet. This was three pieces, but it only took two days, and the speed increased extremely quickly.
Drawing the talismans was not as smooth as before. Firstly, the types increased, and secondly, the complexity of the talismans increased, which resulted in the consumption of talisman ink and talisman paper far exceeding expectations.
Fortunately, it was completed. Three talismans were affixed to the top of the stone tablet, and the third stone room was opened again.
This time, the jade slips that Mo Juren received were no longer primary-level talismans, but intermediate-level ones, mainly low-level ones, with more than thirty kinds in number.
The content in this jade slip is also included in the sect, but it is stored on the second floor of the secret pavilion. Only disciples who meet certain conditions are qualified to read it.
Mo Juren still performed the same operation, making a copy of the jade slip, and then continued to study the stone tablet...
Time passed day by day, and more than a month had passed before I knew it.
In this more than a month, although other Talisman masters who entered have gained something, there are highs and lows. However, no matter high or low, they are far from comparable to Mo Juren.
As if cheating, he passed the test very quickly. In just over a month, he had reached the last stone tablet. As long as he passed it again, he would be able to enter the core and obtain the true inheritance of Master Tianmiao.
Even so far, he has already made a lot of money. The fourth stone house has obtained more than 30 kinds of intermediate and intermediate spiritual talismans; the fifth stone house has obtained more than 20 kinds of intermediate and high-level spiritual talismans; the sixth stone house has obtained It is the advanced beginner level, the seventh advanced intermediate level, and the eighth advanced advanced level.
As expected of the Talisman Saint who stands at the top of the human world's Talisman Masters, he actually has such a huge number of spiritual talismans. The eight stone houses add up to more than a hundred types, including nearly 40 types of high-level spiritual talismans, which are only at the Grandmaster level. Talismans that only Talisman Masters can refine.
Any talisman of this level is a priceless treasure, and if it is placed outside, it will be snapped up by countless people. Mo Juren got so much at once, and the joy in his heart could not be greater.
Of course, he did not take away the original jade slips, but made copies of them all, and then put them back to their original places to wait for the next person.
However, it would probably take an unknown amount of time to get to where he is now.
Putting away his thoughts, Mo Juren began to understand the last stone tablet. Compared with the previous seven, the one in front of him was completely different. It was no longer a messy rune, but a real symbol pattern.
However, facing this clear answer, he was not at all happy, but instead frowned.
