"Excuse me, Master Wu, how to draw powerful runes?"
"Don't think about it! I told you that it's okay to be a witch judge, but don't want to be a real witch! Because your body is too weak, even if your soul is slightly stronger, you will be counterattacked by the law of heaven when you draw the talisman, and it will be easily destroyed.
Flesh body. If you really want to learn witchcraft, wait until you advance to the innate realm! You won’t be a witch until you enter the innate realm!"
Hearing what he said so decisively, Lu Cheng could only give up temporarily and asked instead: "Wu Ancestor, I saw Wu Fan smashing jade. All the beautiful jade he said he got was given to the Jiu Clan. Do you know how to make a ring?
Bracelet?"
Wu Huan sighed softly: "Ordinary jade rings and jade bracelets are easy to make, but the difficulty lies in carving runes. Those rings and bracelets with miraculous signs are all engraved with runes. Some have one character, some have two characters, the more characters there are.
, the higher the level of the ring. With my strength, I can barely carve one character, and the failure rate is very high, so I might as well exchange it with the Dove Clan."
"Please tell me, the witch ancestor, what is the most commonly used rune of one character and two characters?"
"The first character is often 'empty', the second character is often 'empty', the third character is 'little', the fourth character is 'wide'... I don't know what happens next..."
Lu Cheng thought about his jade ring. The four characters on the outer wall were clearly "empty, few, time, and passing". There were ten characters inside, two of which were familiar, namely "broken" and "hidden".
"I would like to ask the Wu clan, what kind of jade is considered beautiful?"
"Beautiful jade is not only about its color, but also about the beauty of heaven and earth. The natural spiritual roots gather together and attract the spiritual energy from all directions."
"How to identify beautiful jade?"
"Didn't you learn the runes? After learning "The First Witch's Thousand Words", there is nothing magical about it; but after you learned the "Little Witch", you started to learn "The Great Witch's Chant", and before you knew it, a marrow sea opened up.
Through the gaps, you can feel the subtle changes in the aura of heaven and earth."
"Really? But I don't feel anything."
Wu Huan took a deep breath, stretched out the palm of his right hand, and slapped him on the forehead with a "pop" sound!
Lu Cheng didn't feel any pain, he only felt a sudden shock in the depths of the marrow sea, as if invisible restraints had been opened, and in an instant, the world between heaven and earth became rich and colorful.
The wizard said slowly: "I helped you open the heavenly orifice, but your skill is too weak. You can only enhance your perception. It's okay to be a 'witch judge', but you can't use it to activate runes. Unless you step into the innate world in the future
...Come, come with me. In the niche here, there are beautiful jade pieces that I have collected for many years. I am not willing to give them to the Jiu people. Every piece is a fine product. Come and touch it, do you feel your heartbeat?
?"
The light in the niche was relatively dark, so Lu Cheng couldn't see the color of the jade clearly, so he could only reach out and touch it according to the wizard's guidance. Sure enough, he felt that his hand was warm and smooth, and there was a faint aura, which seemed to be able to communicate with the soul and make the mind feel happy.
Trembling.
He exhaled and exclaimed: "So this is beautiful jade!"
Because he has opened his spiritual orifice, he has a keen sense of spiritual energy. He can tell at the first touch what the beauty of heaven and earth is, and his natural spiritual roots are watered by spiritual energy from all directions!
The sorcerer took out a piece and handed it to him: "I'll give you a piece. Keep it with you all the time. It will help speed up your practice."
Lu Cheng thanked him repeatedly and said happily, "Thank you so much, ancestor Wu."
This piece of jade is bright red in color, just like a ruby, and is larger than a pigeon egg. Unfortunately, it doesn’t even have a small hole.
Afterwards, he asked a few questions about "The Great Witch Chant" and then left the Shaman Temple.
In the evening, a group of tribesmen set up a huge bronze statue in the square and threw pieces of meat into it to cook. There was a large copper pot cooking sorghum porridge; there was also a bronze steamer with perforated bottoms to facilitate the passage of steam.
It is used to steam sorghum rice; the lower part is used to boil water, and a fire is heated between the feet.
The bronze statues and bronze statues mentioned here are all bronze. Bronze is an alloy, red with yellow in color, and has a clean and smooth surface. It is not the blue-gray color unearthed in later generations.
As the leader of the clan, Bei Kuang's father Bei Chi did not show up, and may have taken his beloved concubine to start a small business elsewhere.
Baikang's adult brothers are not here either. They probably have their own small homes where they can eat Lingmi and Lingmai.
People who come to the square to eat are mainly women, children and the elderly.
The food is quite sufficient, but unfortunately the meat lacks seasonings and has a strong fishy smell; the sorghum rice is dry and difficult to eat. This thing is rough in nature and is ground with a stone mill. It is not polished carefully to be good.
It would be weird to eat it.
Lu Cheng tried his best to eat a few pieces of meat and drank sorghum porridge.
"Well, sorghum porridge is not bad. At least it's easy to swallow."
While eating meat and drinking porridge, he listened to the conversations of his tribe.
"Autumn hunting starts tomorrow. Hunting lasts for half a month. It requires a lot of manpower. Anyone who can move has to go and get the prey back. This is related to whether we can survive the winter safely..."
"First go to the Yinwu Valley in the south, where there are many antelopes and elk, but few powerful ferocious beasts... Then go to the Wumulberry Forest in the east, where there are herds of bison, but there are tigers... If the prey is still there...
If it's not enough, we can only go to the Plough Valley in the west. There is a terrible thing in the valley, with a human face and an animal body, and it likes to drink the blood of living people... The most terrifying thing is the Gaiyu Wasteland in the north, where there is a group of monsters, the Eight-Headed Man.
Face, tiger body and ten tails..."
Lu Cheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and thought to himself: "What the hell is this? Are the Poi Yi people on the earth? Where can such strange things exist? Wait, where are the monsters these people mentioned? I seem to be there.
I’ve seen similar descriptions..."
For a moment, he couldn't remember where he had seen it before, so he could only continue to squat there and listen.
"God bless, I hope I can hunt enough elk in the Yaowu Valley..."
"You must not go to Gaiyu Wasteland! In the past years, only one or two out of ten people who went there can come back... Plough Valley is a little better, and less than half of those who go can come back..."
"When will the people of the Jiu tribe come? My talisman is dying! It's very difficult to kill wild beasts. I'm worried that dad won't come back..."
"No one from the Dove Clan will come until next summer."
"I got a rare rhino horn, green with red in color. I hope I can get a knife..."
"When the Dove Clan comes, I hope my son will come back with him. I don't know what he has become like after being gone for ten years."
"Alas, the place where we live is too far away from the territory of the Jiu Clan! Our young man follows the Jiu Clan on the road. Ten people go there at a time, and at most two or three come back..."
"It's good if one of us can come back. The Jiu tribe is ten times or a hundred times stronger than us. There are many treasures there. If you go there, you can learn something, which will be of great benefit to us, the Pei Yi tribe..."
Lu Cheng was very interested after hearing this, and said to himself: "There are "foreigners studying abroad" in these days? If I have the chance, I would also like to see it."
It's a pity that no one said much about how to get to the Jiu Clan. Everyone's thoughts were focused on the autumn hunting that started the next day.
