Chapter 78 Shijing Helps Casting the Celestial Curse
Although mantras are classified as miscellaneous skills, they are completely different from ordinary exercises.
Kung Fu is about cultivating energy and strengthening oneself, but mantra has nothing to do with the practitioner himself. It is an application of the power of heaven and earth.
What the spell pays attention to is the spell pattern, the casting medium, the casting location, and the triggering method. As for the caster's cultivation level, there are no strict requirements.
Each mantra has its own unique mantra pattern. These mantra patterns are the result of countless attempts by practitioners over thousands of years. Every line and circle in it has its reason for existence.
The spell pattern is the basis of all spells. If the spell pattern is wrong, the spell cannot be cast.
The spell pattern cannot be formed out of thin air, it must be painted on the surface of something, and this object becomes the casting medium. The casting medium of the spell depends on the type of spell, and different spells have different requirements.
Most spells can be drawn on paper, leaves, and cloth, and their power is almost the same, but some require special casting media, such as gold, the skin of some kind of beast, or weapons.
These casting media have required spells. If the wrong thing is used to draw the spell pattern, it is very likely to disrupt the operation of the power of heaven and earth in the spell pattern, causing the power of heaven and earth to backfire, endangering the caster himself.
The place where the curse pattern is cast and the way it is triggered are two different key points.
After drawing the correct curse pattern on the correct casting medium, the next step is to let the power of heaven and earth flow into the curse pattern and run along the path of the curse pattern.
Because the power of heaven and earth has different concentrations and properties in different locations, it will affect the difficulty of casting the spell and the final effect. For example, the highest peaks of some mountains are covered with snow all year round, and a flame-type spell must be cast in such a location.
It will be quite difficult to perform the spell, and the effect of the spell will be reduced.
The triggering method is actually the process of driving the power of heaven and earth to operate according to the route.
To drive the carriage of the power of heaven and earth, you need the guidance of mantras and mantras, and you also need another force of heaven and earth to push it. This other force of heaven and earth must be provided by the caster himself.
People above the Qi Condensation Realm will absorb the power of heaven and earth during cultivation. The higher the cultivation level, the more power of heaven and earth is contained in the Qi in the body. Therefore, these Qi Jin can be used in combination with mantras and as a triggering method.

Hearing this, Zheng Qiu had a question: "Master, to cast a spell requires energy, doesn't it also require high cultivation? How..."
"You don't know something." Master Mingzong interrupted his apprentice's question, grabbed a handful of things from his sleeve and sprinkled it on the table, "Anyone can cast the spell, even if you don't have any cultivation, because there are these things."
Zheng Qiu stretched his neck to look at the table. It was a handful of crystal clear crystals, colorful, each as big as a little finger. The crystals were pointed at both ends, with a wide belly, and the surface was covered with wrinkles, like an elongated peach core. Isn't this...
Yunxiu Tiandi Jing.
"Heaven and Earth Crystal. What does the Heaven and Earth Crystal have to do with the spell?" Zheng Qiu was confused and didn't know what kind of medicine the master was selling in the gourd.
Master Mingzong picked up one, stroked the lines on it and said: "The power of heaven and earth is ethereal and difficult to discern. For most cultivators, it is just a feeling in the spirit, just like joy, anger, sorrow, and joy.
There is no actual physical feeling. But some practitioners are different..."
Master Mingzong took a sip of tea and continued his story.
Cultivators who have reached the Shensu realm, which is the last great realm, can see the power of heaven and earth. For them, the power of heaven and earth is no different from Qi Jin. They can also be gathered and condensed.
The heaven and earth crystals are made by condensing the power of heaven and earth and injecting it into stone crystals. Each heaven and earth crystal contains a trace of the power of heaven and earth. Different colors of heaven and earth crystals represent different properties.
A cultivator in the Shensu realm can make up to 10,000 heaven and earth crystals a year. For his sect, this is a living money tree.
Precisely because the Heaven and Earth Crystal contains the power of heaven and earth, it can be directly used to cast spells.
Master Ming Zong pointed to the Heaven and Earth Crystal in his hand and demonstrated to Zheng Qiu: "Apprentice, look, in the middle of each Heaven and Earth Crystal, there is a fine line that runs across the entire crystal. You just need to press the two sides of the fine line and break it like this.
If you open it, you can release the power of heaven and earth."
There was a snapping sound, and the Heaven and Earth Crystal in the master's hand broke into two pieces. Zheng Qiu did not notice the power of Heaven and Earth at all, but saw that the color of the Heaven and Earth Crystal faded instantly, and then lost its crystal clear texture and became two pieces.
gray stone.
Seeing this situation, Zheng Qiu couldn't help but blurt out: "Spend money to cast spells!"
The disciple's words made Master Mingzong happy. He smiled and nodded: "Haha, that's right, you just spend money to cast spells. The stronger the spell, the more you spend."
After explaining the basic knowledge of mantras, Master Ming Zong took out a booklet and began to teach Zheng Qiu how to learn mantras.
The incantations here are all the sect incantations of the Qianyun Sect, and require the incantation formulas of the Qianyun Sect to be performed. The incantation formulas of the Qianyun Sect all begin with "The four directions of the sky, the gods have orders", also known as the Sifang
Heavenly Mantra.
The master took a piece of white paper and copied the spell patterns on the book onto the white paper. Then he took two red heaven and earth crystals, snapped them open, and quickly pressed them onto the paper.
At the same time, he recited the mantra loudly in his mouth: "In the four directions of the sky, the gods have given orders. The green smoke turns into a lampstand in the palm of your hand. The lamp has no oil and the fire is always bright."
After the words fell, the white paper that Master Mingzong was holding immediately burned into green smoke. He turned over his palm, and the green smoke slowly rose, forming a half-foot-high smoke column that condensed and never dispersed. Immediately after, a wisp of smoke shot out from the top of the smoke column.
The flame burns steadily like a candle.
"See, this is the step of using the Heaven and Earth Crystals in conjunction with the Four Directions Tianji formula to cast a spell." Master Mingzong said while using his other hand to disperse the flames and smoke.
"Like the Green Lantern Changing Light spell just now, it is a continuous spell. To cast this spell, you need two red sky and earth crystals, which can light up for half an hour after being activated. If you want to extend the duration of the spell, cast more
The number of Heaven and Earth Crystals is sufficient, and half an hour is added for each crystal."
After demonstrating the spell, Master Mingzong gave Zheng Qiu a stack of white paper and asked him to copy it according to the booklet. Every time he copied a piece of paper, the master would take it over and look at it carefully, using a pen to circle the drawn parts.
When it was time to copy, Zheng Qiu realized how difficult it was. The curse pattern seemed simple, with only a dozen lines, but the mystery was hidden in it.
Each straight line is not actually straight, but has many irregular and tiny bends. Similarly, some parts that seem to be connected, only when you get closer, you find that there are separations in the middle.
After drawing from noon to evening, Zheng Qiu finally drew a spell pattern that made the master nod. Master Ming Zong picked up two heaven and earth crystals and threw them to his apprentice, signaling him to cast the spell.
Zheng Qiu flattened the paper, found the fine lines in the middle of the Heaven and Earth Crystal, and applied a little force with his fingers. Before Zheng Qiu could break the Heaven and Earth Crystal apart, shouts came from Fangcao downstairs.
