After a while, the toad jumped into the deep love and disappeared. Lu Dangfeng slowly stood up and walked to Lu Sheng.
"Okay, come on, follow me. The guardians have forgiven your rudeness. As long as you prepare enough gifts in the future, they will still help you solve the trouble of leaking."
"Yes." Lu Sheng didn't know why, but he nodded as Lu Zhong did.
He stood up, followed Lu Dangfeng and knelt down again in front of the candle. He followed his every move and followed Lu Dangfeng's words.
He didn't know what it meant, and Lu Dangfeng didn't explain it, so Lu Sheng just memorized the syllables.
This sentence followed another sentence, and one action followed another. After more than half an hour, finally, the candle was burned out.
The ceremony is also completely over.
"Thank you for your hard work... You performed very well this time." Lu Dangfeng smiled. This time his eldest son's performance was greatly appreciated by the guardians. He was also in a good mood.
Lu Sheng didn't know what part of his performance was good. Maybe it was because he followed Lu Dangfeng and pronounced all the syllables word for word. That was considered a good performance on this trip?
After the ceremony, Lu Dangfeng and Lu Sheng bowed to several elders to say goodbye, and then they left Lian Thatched Cottage one after another.
"Come for a walk with me." Lu Dangfeng said softly.
"Okay..." Lu Sheng nodded. He was also very curious about the mysterious owner of Ziyan Villa. He didn't know what those mysterious black figures that appeared before were, and even he didn't know what those strange figures were.
exist.
The father and son walked slowly along the garden path in the villa. Lu Dangfeng seemed to have opened a chat box, and immediately let out a long sigh and talked about the content of the ceremony.
"Originally, I thought you had no hope of mastering the Soul Gathering Ceremony... Now it seems that maybe I was wrong. Your qualifications are better than I thought.
The guardians are very satisfied with you, and this ceremony was also very successful. They promised to help you if there is trouble next time.
The seal we guard can also be safer."
"Father, what is going on?" Lu Sheng did not find any secret information in this regard from Lu Zhong's memory. Obviously, this was something he had only just started to come into contact with.
Lu Dangfeng smiled. "It's not a big deal. From ancient times to the present, our Ziyan Villa has been guarding an extremely terrifying, powerful and evil seal. The only guardians of this seal are those who are also transcendent beings.
In order to cope with the resistance, in order to prevent the seal from being destroyed, we mortals thought of some ways and asked the guardians to help fight against the evil spirits that occasionally sneak out of the seal.
This is the origin of the so-called ritual.”
"Why us?" Lu Sheng asked again.
"I don't know. This is a rule passed down by our ancestors. No one can break it, and no one can doubt it. Only our clan has the most suitable physique to communicate with the guardians. No one else can." Lu Dang
Feng explained.
"What kind of existence is a guardian?" Lu Sheng frowned and asked again.
"They are natural elves, saints in the shadows. I don't know exactly what kind of existence they are. But my father and grandfather told me so. Just listen. If you are really curious
, after you have mastered the ancestral spirit-gathering ritual to its peak, you may be able to communicate with the guardians to understand the situation." Lu Dangfeng smiled and shook his head.
"Every once in a while, some evil spirits will escape from the seal. Without the guardians, our villa will be the first to be massacred. We have guarded the seal for too long. Once they escape, the first choice will be
We are the ones taking revenge. This is also the key reason why I had no choice but to take on this mission." Lu Dangfeng said with a bitter smile, "Don't even think about escaping, it's useless no matter how far you run. Our ancestors have tried this method a long time ago.
."
"So, the function of the spirit gathering ceremony is to communicate with the guardians?" Lu Sheng asked again.
"It can be said that this ceremony includes gestures, spells, formations, many items needed for the ceremony, etc. Let me tell you about it first." When Lu Dangfeng said this, he also started to explain the so-called spirit gathering ceremony to Lu Sheng.
The two of them were in the garden, and they were not afraid of anyone eavesdropping. Even if this thing was eavesdropped, it would not be of much significance. Only a secret technique that could be used by someone with their physique would be meaningless even if others took it.
After a little more understanding, Lu Sheng probably understood what this spirit gathering ceremony was about.
The spirit-gathering ceremony is divided into three parts: Yin, Zheng, and Yang.
Yin is the preparation part, preparing materials, formation patterns, weaving gestures, incantations, choosing communication partners, etc. These are very important, especially when choosing a partner, you must be careful. The guardian you choose is somewhat similar to Lu Sheng's previous experience on Earth.
The shikigami in myths and legends that I have learned must be strong enough. Otherwise, the guardian may be defeated when the evil spirits are leaked and escaped.
However, the difference between guardian spirits and shikigami is that guardian spirits are temporarily employed, and a ceremony can only have a relationship with one guardian spirit. And the guardian spirits you encounter may not be the same every time. This is purely random. This requires
During the ceremony, a guardian spirit is temporarily selected that is powerful enough to deal with the evil spirit that leaks from the seal.
This is the first part of Yin.
The second part is the formal ceremony, which is the beginning of the formal ceremony. What kind of guardian spirit needs to be sacrificed with different targeted gifts, and at the same time, it must be adapted to its liking, etc. It must be eulogized, praised, and in short, flattered.
Shit. Give him a gift and then sign a contract, so that he can help you deal with the trouble.
The third part is Yang, which is the actual process of dealing with evil spirits.
This part is relatively simple. You only need to learn a set of special mudra mantras to communicate with the guardian spirits.
The entire spirit gathering ceremony requires learning three parts in total, the Yin text, the main text, and the Yang text. These three parts are the complete inheritance of the real Ziyan Villa.
At this time, Lu Dangfeng had no reservations and explained the details to Lu Sheng one by one. He took out a book that had been prepared from his sleeve and handed it to him, asking him to study it carefully and memorize it completely.
Lu Sheng had such extensive knowledge and experience. After browsing it for a while, he understood the routine of this so-called spirit gathering ceremony.
Except for some gestures and formations in the inscriptions, which are a bit technical, the rest are very simple.
"This is purely a complex use of spiritual power. I didn't expect that the use of spiritual power in this world has reached such a powerful level." Lu Sheng saw from those handprints that there were many extremely complex and profound things.
.
After leaving Ludangfeng, he returned to the yard alone and carefully studied the insinuations in the pamphlet.
With his background at the Holy Lord level, it only took him half an hour to completely master the so-called spirit gathering ceremony, and he also believed that compared to the pitiful soul power of Lu Dangfeng and those elders, his own soul
The strength is hundreds of times or more than theirs.
In the process of studying the inscriptions, Lu Sheng once again discovered a strange thing.
He discovered that Lu Zhong's physical body had the same structure as his original mortal body! And his soul power could move in and out of this body without any obstacles. He vaguely felt that there might be something hidden in it.
Some kind of big secret.
As I studied the spirit gathering ceremony, time flew by and more than a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Sheng has basically understood the entire spirit gathering ceremony. For him, it is nothing more than some use of the soul. For his soul at the Holy Lord level, this is something even more childish than pediatrics.
During this time, he also began to officially restart the physical training process. This extremely weak physical body made him really intolerable.
Completely starting from the very beginning, it's like going back to the days when we were in Jiulian City.
However, what Lu Sheng practiced was not the martial arts in his memory, but the Shanglin Sword Technique, the martial arts passed down by the Lu family here.
This swordsmanship may seem superficial, but it is actually quite extraordinary. Judging from Lu Sheng's near-grandmaster level knowledge, it can also be seen that it contains considerable actual combat power.
In addition, this body itself has a profound physical memory of Shanglin's swordsmanship, so he just started using it.
Because he tried many times, his Yang Yuan was unable to act on this body. It seemed that it was entirely caused by different rules. If he completely exploded Yang Yuan, the power would still be there, but it would instantly destroy this fragile body.
Fortunately, the Holy Lord's soul itself has become so powerful that it even has the preliminary ability to deceive reality. It can stimulate the potential of cells to the maximum extent, stimulate the internal organs, maximize their functions, digest food and transform it into spiritual energy that fully complies with the rules of this world.
, strengthen the physical body.
In just over a year, Lu Sheng's physique had grown tremendously. He had grown from a skinny young man to a muscular man with a sinewy face.
boom!!
"Shanglin Sword Technique's Breast Swallow Passes Through the Forest!"
Lu Sheng's sword smashed through the three-meter-high bluestone in front of him. Large pieces of stone debris exploded, and the muscles on his arms highlighted the veins.
He gasped and pulled out the thick black sword weighing more than 400 kilograms from the ground.
Surrounded by the stunned and dull-looking soldiers of the Lu family, there were also two younger brothers and sisters, Lu Quan and Lu Zhenling, standing among them.
Everyone looked straight at Lu Sheng who was practicing his sword.
"The baby swallow passes through the forest..."
"What the hell is this called Ruyan? The eldest son is kidding us??"
A group of domestic soldiers looked at the wooden sword target used for practice in front of them, and then looked at the big bluestone that was smashed and scattered on the ground. They were all speechless.
"Same as practicing swordsmanship..." Lu Quan looked at the thin sword as thick as a finger in his hand, and then at the thick black sword as thick as a basin in his elder brother's hand. He felt a wave of emotions in his heart that he could not vent.
, I have an unknown urge to curse my mother, so I don’t know how to start talking about it...
Although the eldest brother went to his father before and told him that he wanted to practice martial arts and Shanglin swordsmanship hard, his father did not listen to his advice.
But I didn’t expect that it would only take so long to get to this point...
Lu Quan glanced at his elder brother's arm that was thicker than his thigh out of the corner of his eye, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Lu Sheng threw the giant sword aside, took the towel tremblingly handed over by the maid, and wiped the sweat from his body.
"Weak chicken!!" He turned his eyes, stared at the soldiers not far away and roared, "Look at your swords! They are as thin as chopsticks. Men should use these!"
call!
He grabbed the stone mill on the ground on the right side. He lifted the stone mill the size of a bathtub with one hand and dug his fingers deeply into the edge of the stone, leaving fingerprints.
He waved it casually, and the stone mill suddenly made a terrifying and heavy whistling sound.
A group of domestic soldiers who were originally relatively strong looked at their eldest son with dull eyes as he demonstrated the true meaning of a man's muscles.
A few days ago, Lu Sheng suddenly took action and defeated the general who was responsible for training the family soldiers in the villa, and the task of training the family soldiers was snatched away from him.
So this morning's morning exercise became what it is now.
Lu Sheng looked at the soldiers who had been suppressed by him, as well as his two cheap brothers and sisters. After he roughly understood all of Lu Zhong's wishes, he started to deal with them one by one.
Lu Zhong's biggest wish is to protect the villa and not hope that his father Lu Dangfeng will die young again because of the ceremony. The second is to hope that other relatives in the villa can be safe.
Lu Sheng himself could not stay here to protect everyone, so he simply began to train these soldiers to enhance their strength and achieve the purpose of protecting them in disguise.
He completely transformed Shanglin Swordsmanship, which was originally a fancy swordsmanship, into a special muscular epee. Using his soul to train with it, in just over a year, he passed the training and reached the level of a single-level sword.
Horrible body.
He had already figured out that the so-called spirit gathering ceremony could only be used by the Lu family. In fact, it was not some random physical problem, but that the Lu family was born with extremely strong spiritual qualifications.
So he modified Shanglin Sword Technique so that this sword technique could initially have the effect of training the soul. He also planned to teach this modified sword technique to other people in the villa. In this way, everyone's strength could be gathered during the ceremony.
It will be easy to share the pressure and get the Lu family out of this whirlpool.
As for other effects, they are just due to his interest. Lu Sheng has always had a concept that strength is everything, and muscles represent strength. In his aesthetic view, the harder, stronger, and more muscular ones are the best.
