A long time ago—about after Mr. Wu first mentioned that there were monsters in the world—Zheng Qing once asked his husband what he would do if he encountered a monster on the way home from school.
The gentleman looked him up and down and snorted one word: Run.
But I couldn't run fast. Zheng Qing stretched his arms and legs and looked at his husband very distressed.
The gentleman thought for a moment and taught him a spell.
Armor and Horse Talisman.
The full name of the Jiama Talisman is the 'Speed-walking Armor Talisman', which is also called the 'Medieval Divine Movement Technique' by modern wizards. It is said that the Great Wizard of the Middle Ages, the Divine Walking Taibao, can make the user as light as a swallow and run as fast as flying.
, traveling across mountains and seas as if on flat ground. Although this spell has declined in modern society where escape techniques are popular, it still has many loyal fans in the wizarding world because of its huge traditional habits.
The original armor and horse talisman was made of bamboo slices or turtle shells. It was one minute thick, two fingers wide and three inches long. The face of the card was etched with incense and had the image of "Cloud and Crane Traveling God", and the four characters "Ru Fei Ru Han" were etched on it.
Incantations such as "Mu Peng Peng" and "Si Mu Xiong Xiu" are then enshrined in front of the incense table of the wandering god, and worshiped day and night. It can be completed in seven or forty-nine days.
The armor and horse sacrificed in this way can be used repeatedly many times, and they only need to be re-enshrined in front of the incense table after each use.
Before use, wash your hands and face, burn incense and pray, then tie the horse's legs with twine and recite the incantation to activate the power of the horse.
If you tie a few more strings, the horsepower will be more powerful.【】
According to rumors, a wizard once tied eight armored horses to his legs at once, and even blew the robe he was wearing when he ran.
The modern Jiama Talisman has been repeatedly improved, and there is no need to use tortoise shells or bamboo slices as carriers. Like other charms, ordinary yellow paper cinnabar can be used. Of course, this simplified Jiama Talisman, like other Talisman, has been
It has become a disposable consumable.
What Zheng Qing learned from Mr. Wu was not only the modern 'Jiama Talisman', but also the ancient 'Bamboo Chia Horse'. In his paulownia box, there were six well-made and fully enshrined bamboo armors.
horse.
It's just that you can't kill a chicken with a bull's knife.
Zheng Qing's fingers crossed the red silk cloth wrapping the bamboo-armored horse and landed on the yellow leather talisman paper next to it.
This place is less than a kilometer away from Linzhong Lake, so paper charms are more than enough.
He thought with confidence, took out two armor-horse charms from the box, tied them to his legs with tape, then gathered some soil and burned incense, held the patrol stick tightly, whispered "Four Mu Peng Peng", and in the blink of an eye he was gone.
Disappeared deep into the woods.
The breeze suddenly picked up, blowing down a few leaves.
The chirping insect in the grass was silent for a moment, then opened its throat and started howling again.
"He ran so fast!" Lin Guo looked at the place where Zheng Qing's back disappeared and sighed with envy: "If I had known, I would have come here on my big black horse."
In his heart, the black sheep he feeds can run as fast as a wizard who uses escape techniques.
"Are you going?" The old school worker leaned on his cane and gave him a sideways glance.
"No," Lin Guo shook his head quickly and looked at the old man seriously: "Meng said, 'Is it fate? You should obey it. That's why those who know fate will not stand under the rock wall.' Tonight the moon shines
Tai Sheng, I was still young and would not do such dangerous things."
"Children today are really scary." Old Man Verne drooped his eyelids and lamented: "You are always talking about 'Master said' and 'know your fate' at a young age. How can you pay it back when you grow up?"
Lin Guo squinted his eyes and smiled.
"Then you sort out the debris here and don't run around." Old Man Verne drew a circle on the ground with his wooden stick and warned: "Don't go out of the circle, just pack your things inside and wait for us to come back."
Lin Guo said nothing and nodded vigorously.
The old school worker muttered something in a low voice, turned around, and disappeared without a trace.
Not even a blade of grass was disturbed.
"Ouch!" The little boy from the Alpha Academy exclaimed again, expressing his admiration for the old man's magic. Then he lowered his head, pinched his nose, and began to pick and tidy up the debris scattered on the floor.
"I'm afraid it will take a long time to put away such a lot of things." The little boy muttered and sighed deeply.
Thousands of meters away from this forest clearing, at the edge of the lakeside forest, three figures in black robes fell out of the shadows. As soon as they stood upright, the largest wizard among the three said:
Similar sentiments to Lin Guo:
"With so many things lost, the fishmen will probably be annoyed for a long time."
As he spoke, he lifted up his hood, revealing a pair of small dark eyes and a round face full of flesh.
"Bastard!" The wizard who once pulled out the book of magic in the forest glade climbed up from the lawn, cursed in a low voice, and raised his hood, revealing a blue face: "Why did the patrol appear there!"
"Unexpectedly." The last wizard sat cross-legged on the ground and analyzed silently: "That open space has no intersection with the patrol's patrol route tonight... There is no reason for them to run so far."
"What do you mean, someone leaked the news?" The fat wizard narrowed his eyes, the flesh on his face twitched, and his tone was very low.
"It must have been done by Friedman's vampire!" The blue-faced wizard waved the Dharma book in his hand and shouted angrily: "He knew that you were responsible for the transactions this semester, so he must have had bad intentions, sir.
"
As he spoke, he looked at the fat wizard.
The fat wizard raised his head and looked at the full moon in the sky, silent.
"Be quiet, General." The wizard sitting cross-legged on the ground interrupted his conjecture and said impatiently: "If you hadn't taken out the law books on those fishmen, maybe we could have completed the deal earlier."
"You mean I messed up the deal?" The green-faced wizard rolled his eyes strangely, and two pale fangs popped out of the corners of his lips at some point: "Anthony, I shut up to you just because I respect Ser.
Mr. Plano... don't use my politeness as an excuse for your unscrupulousness."
"If this can be considered polite, the fishman just now must have received etiquette training from the O'Brien family." The wizard sitting on the ground sneered, took out his book of law, and put it on his knees: "You just have to
Scare those murlocs."
"Shut up, you two!" Mike King Soprano lowered his head and shouted sharply.
With a touch of Anthony's palm, the Dharma book originally resting on his knee disappeared.
The corners of Jiangjun's mouth twitched a few times, and finally he bit back his fangs with anger.
"You two can go back to the lounge first." Serprano pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Tonight's things are not over yet... I will go in and take a look."
After that, he ignored his two companions and turned back to the woods.
The general and Anthony looked at each other and did not leave immediately.
It's just that the two of them were slightly apart, one was leaning on the stone pillar on the promenade facing the lake, silently sizing up the full moon; the other was still sitting cross-legged, flipping through the notes in his hand under the moonlight.
