Thanks to Brother Tai Feifei for the reward. It’s New Year’s Eve, and I’m still coding, and I feel pretty good about myself. I also pay tribute to all the fellow Taoists who insist on reading on New Year’s Eve. I wish you all a happy New Year! It will be on the shelves tomorrow.
, I also wish you all great wealth and bulging pockets!
If it were before time travel, Zhao Ran would definitely not have the courage to challenge such a big python. Even if he accidentally encountered it in the wild, he would probably have to panic and run away as soon as the python coiled up. But now it is different, Zhao Ran
Not only is his hearing and vision clear, he has opened his heavenly eyes, and can barely be regarded as a "special person". He also once followed the Taoist sect of Huayun Hall, Dazhuo and Uncle Xiaozhuo, to catch demons, and he also personally experienced the scene in which the four senior brothers killed the "demon monk" of the Buddhist sect.
The fighting skills between them are far more insightful than anyone else.
People with "high" skills are said to be bold. Faced with a seemingly ferocious python but without "demon power", Zhao Ran was able to deal with it calmly. As soon as the python moved, he became alert, gripped the branch tightly, and aimed
Snake head.
The big python was so fast that it was in front of him in a blink of an eye, biting on the branch, and the python's body immediately coiled up.
Zhao Ran could see clearly with his eyes, but he could not react with his hands. The python wrapped the branch around him and twisted it gently, and the branch immediately broke. Zhao Ran quickly let go, thus avoiding the bad luck of being caught by the snake's tail.
The python shook off the branches and crawled towards Zhao Ran again. Zhao Ran stepped back and distanced himself from the python. Instead of picking up clods of soil, branches and other objects and throwing them at it, Zhao Ran gradually led the python into the "Five Elements" he had laid out.
"Xuanshui Hidden Gold Formation".
Seeing that the time had come, Zhao Ran used his chest and abdomen to pronounce the curse: "Forever crossing the three clear shores, always saying goodbye to the five turbid mud, being as urgent as the law -"
In an instant, a huge amount of water vapor quickly gathered in the place where the magic circle was set up. The water vapor formed a mist in the air. This mist became thicker and thicker, and more water vapor rose from the swamps and lakes in all directions, heading towards this place.
When the two sides gather together, you can see with the naked eye countless vortexes of water vapor spinning around in the air.
The big python felt that something was wrong, and abandoned Zhao Ran and ran away. But since he had entered the magic circle, how could he escape? Zhao Ran held the compass and mobilized the jade seal to cooperate, and layers of layers were immediately erected along the python's escape route.
Layer earth wall.
The big python was blocked from returning and chose another direction to escape, but it was too late. A high wave of water formed above the formation and crashed directly down. The thickest wave in the water wave hit the ground.
On the python's head, he smashed the big python so many times that it rolled around, and the entire snake bones were smashed to pieces.
While your illness is killing you, a golden sword was hidden in the water waves. It emerged in an instant, slashed seven inches into the python, and cut off the entire python's head. Blood flowed across it, dyeing the surrounding area scarlet red.
.
Zhao Ran himself did not expect the magic circle to be so powerful. Seeing the destructive effect he caused, he was very surprised for a while.
Zhu Qigu, who had been hiding somewhere just now, appeared behind Zhao Ran and sighed: "It's just a set of low-grade, first-level magic weapons, but it's actually so powerful. My little brother, you have a great future in the formation."
The first time Zhao Ran "cast a spell" alone, he successfully killed a big python. Of course he was very happy, so he happily went to "pick up equipment", but Zhu Qigu poured cold water on it: "This snake is ordinary and tight, and there is nothing wrong with it."
The items, that is, dinner has been found, so don't hold out any hope. At most, you can get the snake gall and make some wine when you go back."
With his first harvest, Zhao Ran was inexplicably excited and eager to continue "hunting". Of course, Zhu Qigu had no objection and pointed out several places around where there were evil beasts, snakes and insects, and let Zhao Ran do whatever he wanted.
Zhao Ran continuously moved the battlefield and set up different formations according to different qi circulation characteristics. So Zhu Qigu had a full meal that night. Not only did she eat stewed snake soup, roasted wild boar, roasted wolf meat and other game, but she even ate some after the meal.
There is honey for dessert, which is quite delicious.
In the following days, Zhu Qigu took Zhao Ran further into the swamp, and encountered several monsters on the way. But with Zhu Qigu around, these monsters who had just entered the practice due to various opportunities were in bad luck and became
Zhao Ran is the best person to practice formations on. Zhao Ran doesn't care whether they "harm living creatures" or not. There is no need to reason with them in this swamp, right?
Under Zhu Qigu's guidance and support, Zhao Ran's ability to use formations to confront the enemy has greatly improved, and his experience has become richer. The formations he has set up have become more and more ingenious, and they have become more natural and integrated with the surrounding weather, time and place.
At that time, even Zhu Qigu couldn't help but praise her again and again.
Zhu Qigu saw that Zhao Ran was proficient in setting up the formation, so she asked Zhao Ran to speed up the formation and let him practice repeatedly, trying to complete the formation in the shortest time. According to Zhu Qigu, the preset layout was silly.
The formation has no future. A real formation master can inadvertently set up a dragnet and set off numerous murderous intentions in a silent place.
If you want to quickly deploy the formation, you must first focus on two points.
First, the operation of the heaven and earth qi must be "clear at a glance". Zhao Ranke can concentrate and open his eyes. The most basic conditions have been met. The rest is a matter of practice makes perfect.
The second is to quickly lay out the magic weapon in place. In addition to speed, the more important thing is accuracy. The so-called difference is a thousand miles, and the layout of the magic weapon is slightly higher, which will directly affect the operation effect of the magic circle. For
For monks, this is not a big problem, just a little practice, but for Zhao Ran, this is a big problem. His body reaction obviously lags behind his thoughts, that is, his hands are not responding to his heart. To solve it
This problem is not difficult to say. As long as he opens his bones and can practice Taoism, he will naturally gradually reach the point where his hands can respond to his heart.
As for now, the solution given by Zhu Qigu is to teach Zhao Ran a set of hidden weapon skills in the martial arts that can be said to be common on the street - Twelve Money Darts. Moreover, Zhu Qigu greatly edited it, only
Zhao Ran was taught how to coordinate his hands and eyes, how to shake his wrists, and how to throw darts. It was all about technique. As for the internal force and mental methods that match it, he was completely skipped. Everything was only about accuracy, not power - this is really true in the world of spiritual practice.
I have never seen anyone use a magic weapon to hit someone.
After Zhao Ran practiced day and night for several days, his accuracy was greatly improved. Within a range of six to seven feet, the array magic weapon thrown out with shaking hands could basically be in place. Although it was still not completely accurate, from the magic circle
Judging from the effect after activation, it can also exert almost 30% to 50% of the power under normal conditions.
In this way, Zhu Qigu and Zhao Ran continued to wander in the swamp and began to "eradicate the demons". Of course, before "eradicating the demons", they had to first find some ferocious beasts and poisonous insects to warm up. So wild boars, jackals, snakes and pythons, poisonous
Bees and poisonous spiders, the most common prey in the swamp, were once again washed with blood. A small part was sacrificed to the internal organs of Zhao Ran and Zhu Qigu, and most of the roasted stumps were scattered everywhere, which attracted more people.
prey.
After practicing hard for six or seven days, Zhu Qigu saw that Zhao Ran could handle it with ease, so she raised the level of difficulty and started asking him to hunt monsters. She also strictly limited the range in which he could deploy the bursts - no more than three feet away from his body.
No matter how far away it is, it will be easy to rush and cause accidents.
Practicing formations so hard is really too hard for Zhao Ran who has no magic power around him. He has to take pills almost every night to restore his energy, otherwise he will never be able to get up the next day. The two he treasured
The Yangxin Pills were all consumed in the first two days. Fortunately, this kind of elixir, which is relatively precious to Uncle Zhuo and Uncle Zhuo, is as worthless as jelly beans to Zhu Qigu. After Zhao Ran finished eating it,
bottle, Zhu Qigu threw him the next bottle, as if she had endless medicine bottles hidden in her sleeves.
In these days, Zhao Ran has gained quite a lot, not only that the time to set up the formation is getting shorter and shorter, but also that the skills of casting spells have become more and more proficient, and at the same time, he has also accumulated a lot of good items in the bamboo box on his back. Including
The body of a ghost scorpion, the body of a seven-step golden snake, the fangs of two wild boar spirits, etc.
Zhao Ran followed Zhu Qigu in a large circle around the edge of the swamp, and gradually came to the foot of the Ruoergai Snow Mountain in the northwest corner. There were snow-capped peaks on one side and lush forest valleys on the other. Being in the middle of it, he felt relaxed.
Early that morning, Zhao Ran was fighting a toad that had turned into a monster. His fighting skills were getting better and better day by day. He trapped the toad in the formation without turning around, and used the pebbles in the stream to kill the toad. He used the free elixir to kill the toad.
After collecting a little venom from the toad's venom sac in the bottle, Zhao Ran went back to see Zhu Qigu.
Zhu Qigu casually pointed out the shortcomings exposed by Zhao Ran during the battle, and suddenly said: "That's it for today. I will take you out of the swamp."
Zhao Ran was feeling that his use of formations was getting better and better, so why was he reluctant to leave, so he asked: "Sister, do you have something to deal with?"
Zhu Qigu said: "Yes, I just received the sword message from the Taoist sect and found the traces of the true master. It is just north of the snow mountain. I have to rush over to deal with it. This is also the reason why I came to the Great Swamp. So you must be
Send it out, please wait outside the swamp first, and I will meet you after I finish handling it."
"I can't help?"
"It's not even close. You'll die if you meet her. How dare I take you there?"
"Then, how about I stay here? Sister, just come back to me after you're done. I still want to practice more."
"This place has not gone deep into the swamp, but it is still extremely dangerous... I am not worried about vicious beasts, poisonous insects, or mountain elves and wild monsters hurting you. The monsters in this area are not very powerful... I am worried that you will encounter
If you come to the Buddhist monks, or the wandering cultivators with evil thoughts, you may not be able to cope with them when the time comes."
"It can't be so unlucky, right? It's been more than half a month and I haven't seen anyone yet. I will bump into you as soon as you leave?"
"Hmph, if I hadn't taken you to inaccessible places, how could I not have met you?"
"Since this place is inaccessible, I promise you that I will never leave. I will practice formations here and kill more ferocious beasts and monsters - I feel that I am about to make a breakthrough in the speed of deployment, so I left at this time
, it’s difficult to get back that feeling. Besides, will I be safe outside? I’m afraid not.” Zhao Ran was really reluctant to leave, and he was telling the truth.
Zhu Qigu didn't have much time to delay. She hesitated for a moment and felt that what Zhao Ran said was reasonable. Then she said, "Then you promise me not to leave here without permission. I will be back soon."
Zhu Qigu hurried towards the snowy mountain. After Zhao Ran watched her leave, he concentrated on looking for prey. After searching for half an hour, he found a excrement left by an unknown animal. He squatted down and examined it carefully.
This pile of feces contained obvious remains of flesh and blood, indicating that it was a ferocious beast, or even some kind of monster, and was within Zhao Ran's hunting target.
So Zhao Ran quickly stood up, preparing to follow some traces to chase him. When he raised his head, he was stunned - a handsome monk was standing up from behind a rock in front of him with two sticks.
He held a struggling giant centipede between his fingers. The monk turned his head slightly and saw Zhao Ran almost at the same time. His two small eyes narrowed into a slit, staring at Zhao Ran motionless.
