The young official in soap clothes crouched down and walked quickly, passing by the solemn-faced yamen guard and then through the yamen gate. Not long after, he arrived in front of the closed door.
"Sir, Zhang Ruzheng from Pingshan Academy has arrived."
After a pause, a response came from inside the room, and it sounded deep to my ears, as if I had not yet woken up from a long sleep.
The clerk lowered his head and waited respectfully, not daring to say anything.
After a long time, there were rustling sounds of getting dressed, and powerful words came out of the room: "Now that you are here, please go to the inner hall to serve me. Don't be rude."
"Here!"
The servant in soap clothes waved his long orange-red sleeves in greeting, then bowed and retreated.
Crunch——
The concierge opened, and behind the simple tables and chairs, a picture of clear mountains and beautiful waters was hung on the wall. An old man with yellow hair on his back was seen, but his eyes were bright and not muddy, and he did not look senile at all.
He lifted up his sleeves, walked to the stone well in the courtyard, picked up a bucket of water, dipped some water in his palm, and gently rubbed it between his eyebrows and forehead.
There were water stains on his temples, but his mood improved a lot. After regaining consciousness, the old man took care of himself, then stepped out of the hospital door and walked to the inner hall with his straw boots.
…
The blue light spiritual cloud dispersed, and Chen Yu stepped down.
The formations in the courtyard are intact as before and running smoothly. There are a lot of thieves in the city now, and many rumors have been spread among the people. There are also many gentlemen in Liang Shang who have been tied up and sent to the government office to await trial.
Fortunately, this courtyard was not conspicuous, and no one came to visit it while he was away.
Otherwise, not to mention the money, the formation will at least turn the five senses and six senses upside down and make fun of them.
Arriving at the courtyard, a ripple appeared in the palm of my hand.
The next moment, a huge ball of light fell out of thin air, and what was contained in the light blue halo was the thunder that had been captured from under the thundercloud.
The place to catch thunder was not nearby, so I searched all over the place, and it was not until I flew thousands of miles away from Luo City that I found a suitable place. It took me a long time to go back and forth twice.
Looking up again at this moment, the sky in Luocheng, Jinzhou is as clear as a mirror, and there is no sign of wind or rain.
The breeze is gentle and gentle, leisurely and quiet.
The noisy noise was a little far away from the courtyard, and after being separated by a layer of magic circle, it rarely came in. This residence is surrounded by large and small courtyards, and there are many guards coming in and out, which indirectly increases the security of the entire area.
.
He went to find an open space in the courtyard. The courtyard did not occupy a large area, but it was well-equipped with all the necessary water pavilions and pavilions. Although it was rarely taken care of and accumulated dust, the tranquility he wanted was
able to satisfy.
"Thunder is swift and powerful, and it is also scorching and hot. If it touches it, the skin will burst open and the whole body will be paralyzed."
Looking at the technique in his hand, he found that the thunder in the ball of light had weakened a bit on the way back, but just in time, the pressure on his energy and blood dropped sharply when he could withstand such strength.
The opposite problem is that this lightning will not last long. Even if it is blocked by the lightning trap, it will be completely dissipated in half a day at most.
He stretched out his hand and inserted his index finger directly into the ball of light. He heard a crackling sound and a bright red color appeared on his finger.
The mana, qi and blood were laid in the flesh in advance, and the power of thunder was far from enough, so he was not beaten to death by the thunder like not long ago.
Trying to pull out a ray, lightning suddenly appeared, the mana collapsed, and the overflowing silver thunder disappeared in the air in an instant.
"..."
Chen Yu's expression froze, and then he sighed, forgetting this.
Thunder is not a transcendent energy. It still blooms and bursts out in the clouds in this world. The cause of its formation is very different from what we knew in the previous life, and it will not change its characteristics just because it is captured.
Mana is useless to it, but it will penetrate the spiritual structure and cause it to collapse.
On the other hand, thunder and lightning are non-physical in nature, so it is ineffective to directly rely on physical strength to resist grabbing.
If it hadn't been for the clever use of magic to seal the energy in, it would have been unimaginable to capture the lightning with just the physical body.
The problem he faces now is no longer how to use thunder and lightning as power to compress the power of wonders to reshape Qi and blood, but how to 'take out' the thunder that can be seen, touched, and felt from the ball of light, and then 'release it'
Enter the Qi and blood.
"Thunder and lightning are like running water. If you soak your hands in it, you will be struck and struck. You can feel the contact clearly. But once you squeeze your palms tightly into a fist, the water in your palms will disappear."
He pondered for a long time, either increasing the thickness of the mana in his body, or changing the 'density' of the thunder, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate.
The former is of little significance. Unless the essence changes, no amount of mana can withstand a lightning strike. However, the latter has no clue at all.
Just think about it in your head and give up.
Finally, Chen Yu focused his attention on the spiritual text flashing in his palm.
Since it can't be grasped simply by magic, what about after weaving it into spiritual text? Chen Yu looked at the light ball, and the lightning trap technique can be said to be a ready-made example.
This is a technique with a very simple principle and structure, inspired by the spirit-sealing technique.
Later, he captured the thunder and lightning one after another, and after using the thunder mark to enter, his adaptability and affinity to thunder and lightning were greatly improved, and he was able to better block this power.
Later, the emergence of the node construction method allowed all the spiritual spells and formations in his hands to be optimized, naturally including the lightning trap technique, which gradually evolved into what it is today, which can automatically absorb lightning and seal the effectiveness.
Great progress.
He changed his direction and started with spiritual text, intending to focus on solving the two points of 'Tian Lei affinity' and 'blockade'.
"In this case, it seems that there is no need to recast the qi and blood separately... directly use the physical body as the container. Once the conditions are met, the mana, spirit, and qi and blood can be smelted and recast together."
Well, the premise is that there are so many controllable thunders, and all the reserves of its own power, including the power of wonders, need to be enough to support the entire change process.
If any one of them is interrupted, it will affect the whole body and cause all the power to collapse: the blood will wither and wither, the soul will be cracked and annihilated, and the mana will overflow crazily. By then, there will probably not even be a chance for him to turn the tide.
Chen Yu could predict that this would be the biggest and final difficulty on the road to recasting.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The risks are great, but there are also many benefits, such as saving a lot of time and avoiding the wasted step-by-step process. And you can explore how to merge various powers together, and even introduce
If it is a strange scene, it is possible to turn it into the inner heaven and earth with the help of the vast power during smelting and the power of the majestic strange scene.
In short, there are many benefits, and becoming a saint is right before your eyes.
only……
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yu shook his head and chuckled. At first glance, the benefits seemed many and very tempting.
But why take the risk?
Thinking about it carefully, the good things that can happen may not necessarily be good in his opinion.
It has only been less than two years since I planted my first spiritual plant. It was too short, and I failed to take into account many things, such as the physical body and the various powers brewing in the body, which have yet to be discovered.
space.
He said he wanted to find a way forward, but it was really not what he wanted to do in such a hasty and careless way.
Moreover, this step only looks good. Sky Thunder does have miraculous effects, but whether it can truly combine various powers remains to be discussed. Whether the combination of the power of wonder and thunder will be mutually exclusive also needs to be verified.
Not only that, in Chen Yu's view, the biggest problem in recasting the body is not the amount of energy, but the physical body and the several powers themselves that are being recast.
"Recasting requires stability. Just like the new soul in the sky, the slightest movement will cause interference."
It is for this reason that he dispersed the last bit of active controllable mental power around him and set up a barrier that could barely block the black mist.
Avoid recasting being affected.
But the body is a container, so he can't do anything else. If he proceeds rashly, he will be involved in the intertwining of various forces as deep as the sea. He will have no energy to even out, and he won't even be able to walk, eat and drink.
"It's similar to the rumored retreat..."
Chen Yu didn't want to do this, so he had to put away his thoughts first and prepare to solve the two points mentioned just now. At the same time, the spiritual texts related to thunder and lightning must be further developed. As for the other things, we will talk about it later.
Although I don’t plan to stew it all in the body, the idea of the body as a container is indeed good. Qi and blood are invisible, so you can try it on tangible flesh and blood first.
Moreover, qi and blood are rooted in the physical body. If flesh and blood can really match thunder, then qi and blood will inevitably change.
"But how to increase affinity?"
Putting aside many distracting thoughts, he scratched his head. The spirit text could still be deleted or added. If it was not suitable, it could be subtracted at worst. However, Qi and blood did not have this function, and flesh, blood, muscles and bones could not be reduced.
Then there is only one way to add something.
What to add? Of course, thunder marks.
"Alas, it seems that we have to go back to the old path of Nei Ming."
It's a little subtle, and it seems that after walking around, I'm back to the starting point.
Having said that, Chen Yu is well aware of the difference between the two. Whether it is inner energy inscription or mana inner inscription, they are only experimental in nature. There are not many attempts, and it is not surprising that the effect is limited in the end. And this time, the inner inscription is used on the physical body.
It will serve as the foundation for a long period of time in the future, covering a wide range of areas, covering all flesh and blood. Moreover, thunder marks are different from formation patterns and spiritual text, at least in terms of performance, they are neither erosive nor overly solidified.
He moved at his word. Before the lightning was completely dissipated, he began to select a section on his right index finger. Silently, he wrapped it with magic power and began to try to carve thunder marks.
"The key point is to infuse. The flesh and blood are thick and the qi and blood are surging and powerful. If it is simply burned as in the past, it will be easily washed away. Instead of doing this, it is better to leave marks on the skin, flesh and bones first, and then affect the blood in a subtle way."
He only selected a very small piece, and after deliberately blocking the energy around his index finger and blocking the blood, the speed of the infection was greatly increased.
Even so, Chen Yu still encountered difficulties when he started to move. The engraved thunder marks were dissolving, but they were not absorbed by the flesh and blood.
Spirituality, mana, and spirit took turns to fight, and all kinds of methods were used. Finally, the dissolution of the thunder marks was stopped under the action of the flesh and blood purification technique.
"I didn't expect this technique to be used in such a way."
The spell was running, flesh and blood trembled, Chen Yu's eyes flashed to grasp the changes in that moment. It might not be possible to thoroughly analyze the reason why the flesh and blood purification technique limits the dissolution of thunder marks in a short time, but it is not difficult to imitate or even improve it.
The speed increased again.
However, even though it was much faster than expected, it was only in the evening that a small piece of finger was successfully engraved, and a few inches of spiritual light appeared, and it was done!
He breathed a sigh of relief, pressed his index finger down, and dug deeply into the dim ball of light that was about to go out.
Crack!
The ball of light shattered, and countless thunder rays were scattered, turning into light dust and disappearing in an instant.
Only Chen Yu's eyes sparkled, and he looked with satisfaction at the faint silver on his right index finger, which was so weak that it was almost invisible. From bright to dark, it lasted ten breaths longer than the surrounding thunder!
…
At night, the city is brightly lit.
I heard that there was a curfew in Jinzhou a few decades ago, but later it was gradually relaxed for some unknown reason. Today, lanterns hang high on the eaves, and bright red and bright yellow are intertwined, scattered in the city.
Jiang Qin'an and Yue Haiping walked out of the pavilion with tired faces. They had read many books today, rummaged through the mountains of books, and wandered around a lot. They were both physically and mentally exhausted.
"Senior brother, I have harvested enough today."
During the time he came to Jinzhou, Taoist Jiang saw a hint of peace. Different from the outside world, this place was like a paradise. Therefore, his mood gradually calmed down and he slowly returned to his original appearance as a pure Taoist.
Yue Haiping, who was listening to the other party's words, yawned incomprehensibly. Today, he has indeed gained a lot. Many Taoist scriptures that he has never seen before are scattered here.
They also visited more than a few bookstores, including Pingshan Academy in Dongcheng. They borrowed an identity tag from the local Hao Chang and engraved text symbols on it before entering the main library hall.
Later they found out that when he was young, Hao Chang, who had a high status in the academy, had traveled all over the world with his sword, going to various places in the north, south, east and west, including Southwest, Xizhou and even Guangyong, but he had not entered the stone.
Ya, I only have a vague impression of this remote small county.
Seeing that the two Taoists were eager for knowledge, Master Hao Chang recalled his own time, and then he gave the talisman and arranged for a boy waiter to take the book with him to read.
After looking through all the books in the hall and expressing their sincere gratitude, the two of them went to the next place.
I visited many houses along the way, but most of them I didn't read in detail. If I was really interested in the books, I only recorded their location and ownership, waiting to take a closer look later.
"It's a pity that there are still many sects and aristocratic families who can't go there, otherwise they must have more good things there, and maybe there will be unique copies of ancient books preserved."
"Yes or no, how could those people let two idle Taoist priests come in and read the scriptures like crazy?"
Jiang Qinan's words echoed in his ears, and Yue Haiping let out a long sigh. This was a fact and he could not refute it.
The two of them talked in low voices as they walked, but they were not talking about the recent events in the city. In their opinion, these were just trivial matters. Someone was stolen today, and someone was attacked tomorrow with a blushing neck.
The conversation was more about Taoist scriptures. When the two Taoist priests came out of the mountains, they originally had the idea of traveling thousands of miles to see the world, and these Taoist scriptures, which are not available in Shiya County, allowed them to taste the meaning of some sideline scriptures.
As evidence, it may make great progress in Taoist practice.
Of course, Yue Haiping didn't have so many reasons, he just liked to read Taoist scriptures.
From the exchanges between the two, they each analyzed their own understanding and acquisition of the same scripture. In the eyes of the real monks, some of these ideas are empty, some are superficial, and some even contain errors, but to them they are not.
It's a good time to make progress.
Just like this, they passed through the crowd, accompanied by sometimes fierce and high-spirited words that seemed to be arguing, and the two people gradually disappeared in the dim light.
