Chapter 43: Array
For those guards outside Yi Yan, this afternoon was unique.
People from Yunnan, riding Yunnan horses, with knives or swords hanging on their bodies, passing by, front or back. They were not quick when passing by, and their eyes naturally looked at the entire convoy, and they would leave quickly after being staggered with the convoy.
Yi Yan never looked up. He kept looking down at the popular text "The True Chapter of Revelation of Students".
When the sun sets, the convoy stops and is stationed under a leeward hillside.
Looking at the guards around, Yi Yan felt the concentric breath, as if something must have happened tonight.
The night covers everything.
Yi Yan was still reading the book intoxicatedly, and he was reading the introduction about evil spirits. There are two ways to divide evil spirits between heaven and earth. One is to divide yin and yang. The spiritual power in Yi Yan's body belongs to the spiritual power of Yinsha. The young man who was lying in the crack of the door and eating evil spirits that Yi Yan saw in Wuling City, who was eating evil spirits and six desires, was swallowed by the yang evil spirits and evil spirits condensed by humans.
The biggest difference between Yin evil and Yang evil is that if Yin evil is exposed to a living person for a long time, it will definitely affect his health and even die. Yang evil will have no effect on the living person, but if a dead soul enters the city and is attacked by Yang evil, most of them will be destroyed.
Some people classified this as Yang evil spirit, but more people do not classify it as any of the Yin and Yang evil spirits, and think that it belongs to the dragon evil spirit that is half-belief and half-evil spirit.
The dragon evil does not refer to the evil spirit produced by the real dragon. There is a saying in the world that it means that the people can return to their hearts and turn into dragons. No matter which level of officials, half of their magic power comes from the official seal appointed by the court, and half comes from the love of the people. The official seal is a guide and is supplemented by the people's expectations, and the magic power is born.
Anyone who eats and refines the evil spirits of Yin and Yang can be loved by all the people, and it may turn into a dragon evil spirit. Those who become a dragon evil spirit can create seals and give talismans and give others magic power.
Therefore, some people call the Yin and Yang evil in the evil world a chaos evil, and call the evil spirits that are practiced and absorbed in the officialdom in the court as official evil or dragon evil. Compared with the one sitting high in the Golden Palace, he only has the luck of the country in his eyes.
The darkness became thicker and thicker, and the firelight shone on the tent, and tadpole-like runes appeared in the firelight. I don’t know if it was embroidered or painted.
Miss Lin walked out of the tent, wearing a strong outfit and a cloak.
He looked at Yi Yan, who was sitting there reading a book and said, "It may be something tonight."
Yi Yan looked up at Miss Lin, then looked down at the book.
"This is just a basic book of practice." Miss Lin said.
"This is exactly what I need to see." Yi Yan said.
Miss Lin sat down next to Yi Yan, and some people who were next to the fire quickly stood up, while Yun Fan came over, but he didn't dare to speak casually, so he started to turn around.
Miss Lin looked at Yi Yan. Under the fire, Yi Yan was quiet and focused.
She frowned, feeling a little angry at Yi Yan's eyelids after she sat down, and said, "It may be something tonight, you can watch the night."
"Yeah." Yi Yan raised his head and replied, then lowered his head to read the book.
Miss Lin threw a dry wood into the fire and said, "What spell did you use to kill Mu Chuan?"
"Leaping the Sky." Yi Yan said. He could no longer read books. Although he looked cold and was also very focused on reading, he was still reading that paper for a long time.
"I haven't heard of it, is it very powerful?" Miss Lin seemed very curious about this.
Yi Yan stopped reading the book and looked up and said, "I don't know much, it should be okay."
Miss Lin suddenly said, "Can you play the talisman formation?"
Yi Yan shook his head, of course he would not. The talisman formation she mentioned was known to me as the book in her hand just now. For people like him who have not learned various magic, the talisman formation is simply incomprehensible.
The most popular game for practitioners in the world today is the talisman array. One person draws a talisman and then the other person breaks it. You cannot use brute force to break the talisman array, you can only untie it. If it succeeds, the drawn talisman will disappear. If it fails, the talisman will detonate.
This tests not the amount of spiritual power, but the understanding of the art of the talisman array.
"It doesn't matter if you haven't played it. This is not difficult. As long as you can see through it, it will be easily broken." Miss Lin said.
Yi Yan wanted to refuse, but Miss Lin had already pulled a burning wooden stick and started drawing it on the ground.
The front end of the wooden stick was still burning with a red flame. When Miss Lin started drawing, the flame changed, from a shaky and unstable shaking that was about to be extinguished at any time, turning into a straight flame. The flame at the front end was painted on the ground like a brush, with speeds of fast and slow, pauses and frustrations.
Yi Yan found that the lady in front of him had a bad temper and seemed to hate her as she was very focused when drawing this talisman. It was obvious that she had practiced for a long time.
The flames were painted on the ground, and there were faint traces of scorch and dust on the ground. The dead grass and green grass on the ground were burned, but no flames were left. Yi Yan could feel the fire evil spirit left in the scorch mark, like the ink marks left where the brush strokes.
The scorch marks form a complex picture, Yi Yan looks at it carefully and seriously.
The moment the burning wooden stick in Miss Lin's hand was put away, she chanted the word "burn", and the pattern made of scorched marks burned instantly. But this is different from the usual flame. The flame is burning in whole pieces, without any gaps. If you look closely, you will find that the flame is surging like waves.
After finishing the painting, Miss Lin said proudly: "This is the Bibo Tiantian Talisman, but it was not drawn with water evil. How about it, you can break it."
After saying that, she looked at it with a smile and stopped talking. Yun Fan next to her had already surrounded her when Miss Lin was drawing the talisman. At this time, she said in surprise: "Miss is so amazing. She can actually draw the talisman of the blue waves and sky with the fire evil." After that, she turned to look at Yi Yan.
Miss Lin saw Yi Yan just looking at him and was reluctant to do it, so she said again: "As long as you can calmly extinguish the flame, it will be broken."
It is not difficult to extinguish the flames on this small piece of land. Yiyan can be knocked out with one finger. However, this talisman breaking array is a word of cleverness. Anyone who builds such a talisman array will have imperfections. As long as it can be found, it can be easily broken.
There is another way to break it, which is to integrate the talisman array and then build a talisman array, and fuse it into the talisman array you built. Of course, there are more ways to break it, and the only thing you cannot do is to use spiritual power to force it to break it.
Yi Yan knew that this kind of local material and drawing the talisman array formed on the ground required a very clever technique. He only knew some simple introductions to the talisman array from this book that he had not finished reading.
"What, can it be broken?" Miss Lin asked with a smile.
Yi Yan shook his head. He looked at the small piece of flames and could not see through the reality and reality inside.
"Yi Yan just got the inheritance of his father, and he knew nothing by himself." Yun Fan said, with a sarcastic scent in his words.
As his words fell, Yi Yan suddenly reached out toward the flame.
Miss Lin was a little surprised. Yi Yan was still shaking his head just now, and now he reached out to break the talisman formation. Although this talisman formation was not broken, it was still unavoidable to be unfavorable and might be embarrassed.
Yun Fan also looked at him. If it weren't forcibly breaking it with spiritual power in his heart, Yi Yan wouldn't have broken it. Because Yi Yan hadn't really learned the talisman method, everything he knew now was only useful. He couldn't help but think: "The country boy is a country boy. He doesn't know how to advance and retreat, and he doesn't even know that the lady deliberately makes a difficult situation."
When he waited to see the talisman formation exploded, the flames burned Yi Yan's clothes all out in a mess.
However, the smile that he felt relieved appeared, and the flame suddenly disappeared silently, leaving a picture of burnt marks on the ground.
"How is it possible, how can you..." Yun Fan's eyes were full of incredible.
Yi Yan glanced at him lightly and said nothing.
Miss Lin said in surprise: "How did it be done."
"I don't know." Although Yi Yan's tone was light, he was excited. At that moment just now, he felt that the rhythm of the fluctuation in one of the flames was a little slower and was inconsistent with the whole, so he pointed it there, and the talisman formation broke through.
"Miss, this is not his own ability." Yun Fan said.
Miss Lin didn't say anything else, but picked up a wooden stick and inserted it into the talisman array. The flames ignited again, and the wooden stick inserted in the middle disappeared.
"Break again." Miss Lin said. Obviously, the talisman array is very different now. If the talisman array was a pool of calm water just now, then now it is an animal that can attack at any time.
When Yi Yan looked at it intently, he wanted to see the flaws of the talisman formation again.
He was concentrating, and suddenly, he felt that the flame had changed, turning into a human face. The human face composed of flames had two blue balls in the flames, which looked like two faint eyes, staring at Yi Yan.
Yi Yan felt the strangeness, and suddenly he realized that this was not the talisman formation of Miss Lin, but another creature came, a practitioner, or a monster hidden deep in the earth.
His hand suddenly retracted, and the flames rushed up, like a ferocious beast lurking underground for a long time, rushing towards Yi Yan with an evil and fierce aura.
In this moment, Yi Yan seemed to be facing a sea of fire. He knew that this was the creature who arrived at some point, using the rules in Miss Lin's talisman formation, making the talisman formation truly powerful.
However, his other hand had already put on the hilt of the sword, held the sword in his left hand, and stabbed the flames with one force.
A little bit of blue flashed at the tip of the sword, and the flames opened with the sword.
Yi Yan seemed to hear a roar in the flames, but suddenly shrank back the moment the sword pierced the flames, because he saw that the sword had stabbed in front of Miss Lin.
"Yi Yan, you dare to hurt the lady." Yun Fan shouted.
The flames on the ground were still burning quietly, but Yi Yan had already stood up with his sword.
Miss Lin's face was still frightened. Yi Yan's sword just now made her feel heartbroken. He only saw the sword light flashing, and the tip of the sword had reached his eyebrows and could not dodge it at all.
"Something is coming." Yi Yan said, looking around.
Yun Fan's voice alarmed all the guards, and the fourth housekeeper also came over. He looked at Yi Yan's sword that was unsheathed and asked with a bad face: "What happened."
Before Yi Yan could speak, Yun Fan said quickly: "Yi Yan almost killed the lady just now."
"Yi Yan." The fourth housekeeper looked at Yi Yan with a face, and a trace of murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
Yi Yan explained: "Just now, an evil spirit must have merged into the lady's talisman array and attacked me."
The light flashed in the eyes of the four housekeepers, and he looked down at the flames that were still burning in a small open space.
"Evil spirit, there are no evil spirits? Why didn't I feel it at all? Even the lady didn't notice it. Did you see it alone?" Yun Fan said loudly.
Yun Fan's words made him irritated, but he couldn't explain it at once.
Suddenly, Yi Yan felt someone staring at him and turned his head. He saw that there was indeed something looking at him at the edge of the jungle, but that was not a human, but a snake.
