Zhuo Tengyi shared common knowledge about monsters with Zhao Ran. Zhao Ran listened with great interest, thought for a moment, and then asked: "I wonder what the thousand-year-old monster will look like?"
Zhuo Tengyi said: "If you have been cultivating for thousands of years, you are either born stupid or stupid, and most of them have already entered the transformed form. Such great demons are extremely powerful. Among our Taoists, only real people can rival them."
Zhao Ran was speechless: "A thousand-year-old demon can change into ever-changing forms?"
Zhuo Tengyi laughed and said: "Wherever it is possible to be ever-changing, that is already the method of the Golden Immortal True God. After a big demon reaches a high level of cultivation, it can undergo a transformation in form and transform into a physique more suitable for cultivation. Almost all big demons will transform into a body that is more suitable for cultivation.
It is in human form, because the human form coincides with the heaven and earth, encompasses the inner and outer universe, and is the most consistent form in the world. If you want to further understand the way of heaven, the human form is the best, so for the big demon, it is not so much their choice.
The human form is the foundation of transformation, rather it is the choice of heaven. You must know that you and I are born as human beings, which in itself is the greatest benefit and an unattainable advantage for all things in the world."
Zhao Ran sighed when he heard this, and suddenly remembered something and said, "I just heard what Uncle Xiao Zhuo said that he had fought with this rat demon. I wonder how the rat demon escaped that day?" In fact, what he wanted to ask the most was
, since this rat demon can absorb souls, how should he protect himself?
Zhuo Tengyi saw through Zhao Ran's thoughts at a glance and said: "This rat demon first appeared in Chengdu Prefecture, but it was not doing well at that time, and Chengdu Prefecture Kuixing Pavilion did not interfere. Since last winter, this rat demon has
The demon then rushed into the territory of Long'an Mansion and injured more than ten people one after another, all of which were caused by absorbing souls and causing death. Our Taoist sect speculated that this demon started to practice the soul-absorbing technique at that time, but I don't know.
What kind of opportunity did you get..."
Having said this, Zhuo Tengyi thought for a moment, but still couldn't figure it out. He paused and then said: "My brother and I are walking for the Taoist sect. Naturally, we cannot let it cause harm to the world. We have fought with it twice. The rat demon has tough fur.
It can be hurt by ordinary sharp weapons, but it is not a problem in front of my brother. As for the art of absorbing souls, this rat demon has not yet mastered it to a high level. As long as you don't look at it, you will not fall into its ways. However, this rat demon can't hurt it.
The demon is good at burrowing into the ground and moves quickly, so it escaped both times. This time, because of the Zifu Zhuguo as a guide, we can set up the formation calmly. As long as there are no accidents, it will be a sure thing. Master Zhao
Nephew, when you fight in the future, be sure to pay attention, especially to the Tu Xing Seal, so that you can activate it at any time, and don't let it escape again, otherwise you may lose a lot of lives next time."
Zhao Ran nodded in agreement, and then asked Zhuo Tengyi for some advice on things about monsters and formations. Zhuo Tengyi didn't hide his secrets. He said everything he could about monsters, except for
Neither he nor his brother Zhuo Tengyun are proficient in formations. The formation disks that Zhuo Tengyi took out in Zhao Ran's hands were also specially prepared by Huayun Pavilion for Taoists who were born in the world. They were not trained by them. They only practiced them.
He knew how to use it, so Zhao Ran couldn't ask too many questions.
As we chatted like this, it gradually became dusk. The winter sun was setting in the west, as red as paper lanterns, eye-catching but not dazzling. The breeze blew by, spreading a bit of coolness. Zhao Ran was fascinated by the sunset, forgetting that he had gone out in a hurry, and
I didn't wear a quilt or cloak, but I never felt cold.
At this moment, the golden needle on the compass in Zhao Ran's hand suddenly trembled. Zhuo Tengyi beside him gently tugged on his sleeve. Without saying a word, the rat demon had already arrived!
Zhao Ran's eyesight was very good, and he noticed in a moment that under a bush on the edge of the rockery near the pond, soil was being scattered evenly in all directions. The process was slow and silent. Soon, from the slowly formed soil hole, he discovered
A small triangular head appeared, with a few whiskers tied at the corners of its pointed mouth, exactly like a coyotito. The rat demon carefully looked around at the entrance of the hole, and after observing it for a moment, it swung out, looking like a hare.
For its size, it moves extremely quickly.
The rat demon came to the Zhu Guo of Zi Mansion, walked around a few times, sniffed the Zhu Guo, then stepped back a few feet, its small eyes darting around towards the Zhu Guo, looking extremely agile.
I don’t know what he was thinking. The rat demon took care of Zhu Guozhan’s tea time, then retreated back to the cave under the bushes.
Hearing Zhuo Tengyi shout "do it", Zhao Ran quickly recited a mantra: "Heaven and earth are born together, sweep away filth and eliminate guilt, refine the nine paths, the ring is too true - urgent as a law!"
This is the first time Zhao Ran has recited a mantra in a real sense. Before, whether it was a monthly exam, a yearly exam in Wuji Yuan, or a fast festival held down the mountain, the method of reciting the mantra was incorrect, or it should be called "invalid mantra".
He risked his life and went down the mountain to participate in catching monsters. One of the important benefits he gained was that he learned the method of "effective mantra chanting" from Zhuo Tengyi.
In fact, no matter whether it is in a Shifang jungle like Wujiyuan or a Zisun Temple in a hidden place like Huayun Pavilion, the Taoist scriptures are the same, and the incantations recorded on them are also the same. The reason why one is useless and the other is useless.
The usefulness lies entirely in the way and method of use. When reading the mantra in Wujiyuan, Zhao Ran followed Gao Gong, the professor and the Taoist boys to sing blindly with their eyes closed. That is called "singing", not "reciting".
The method is to use the chest and abdomen to make sounds, condense the breath into the air house, and blow it out with the base of the tongue. It is difficult at first, but as long as you have a teacher, you can learn to master it in a short time.
Only reciting a mantra in this way is called reciting a mantra. With Zhuo Tengyi's guidance, Zhao Ran was able to pronounce it correctly in less than half an hour. It was not difficult to learn. Many things in the world are like this, and they look very mysterious.
The key is very simple. With the teacher's guidance and without the teacher's guidance, the final effect is completely different.
Of course, it does not mean that Zhao Ran's chanting of spells will be effective from now on. He has no Taoist skills to complement each other, and the spells he chants cannot communicate with heaven and earth, and are equally ineffective. However, for magic weapons such as array disks that have been refined in advance,
But he was able to use it.
As soon as the spell was cast, the compass shimmered faintly, and Zhao Ran activated the formation.
At the same time, Zhuo Tengyun, who was hiding under the ginkgo tree in the garden, appeared at some unknown time. In the blink of an eye, he appeared next to the Zifu red fruit. He moved his hand and the Zifu red fruit was uprooted and Zhuo Tengyun was killed.
Teng Yun was stuffed into a wooden box and then thrown out of the formation.
The rat demon that had already retreated to the entrance of the cave let out a "squeak", turned around and ran towards the place where the wooden box fell. This monster came here just to wait for the Zifu Vermillion Fruit to mature. How could he be willing to let this genius treasure fall from his mouth?
slip?
The rat demon moved very fast, like lightning, but the formation had already been activated. Zhao Ran concentrated on controlling how the rat demon could rush out. A fire net appeared out of thin air, and the rat demon screamed and rolled back.
, green smoke was rising from many places on the fur on its body. The rat demon ignored the pain and rolled a few times on the ground, then suddenly changed direction and rushed out from the other end, still extremely fast.
Zhuo Tengyun in the formation did not dare to be careless and stepped forward to intercept with his sword. The rat demon kept turning and running under his obstruction, which gave Zhao Ran time to control the formation.
After the Five Elements, the Earth Transformation Golden Formation is fully activated, with a net of fire in the south, a wall of water blocking the way in the north, a jungle of thorns rising in the east, and a mountain shield of gold in the west.
Seeing that the rat demon couldn't get out from all directions, it burrowed into the ground. Zhao Ran activated the Earth Element Seal, and the ground in the formation was immediately as hard as iron. Wherever it could penetrate, the rat demon's claws were scratched and squeaked.
, Zhao Ran’s cheeks felt sore.
Zhuo Tengyun stood in the formation with his sword in his hand. He did not rush forward to capture him. He just made a sword gesture and stabbed the rat demon diagonally at the moment when he jumped up. He knew the timing of the sword thrust very well and could always kill the rat demon.
The speed of the rat demon's escape was kept to a minimum.
Zhuo Tengyi on the Octagonal Pavilion was not idle either. He stood up and muttered something. He held a golden talisman on his fingers. When he found something empty, he threw out one. He saw the talisman floating in the wind and seemed to be leaving when he took the hand.
It follows the rat demon for thousands of miles, and its drifting trajectory is inexplicable, but it always appears next to the rat demon after three turns and two turns, igniting a ball of sparks, burning the rat demon's skin and flesh.
Although the rat demon has not been cultivated to the point of widening its spiritual intelligence, it does not mean that it is really a stupid ordinary coyotito. After all, it is a decent demon, and it is not that it does not understand everything. Seeing this shape, you also know that it is necessary to run away.
It's impossible, you must first deal with the Taoist in front of you.
I saw this rat monster barking a few times, and its body suddenly grew in the wind. In an instant, it grew several times bigger, and it looked like a giant bear.
Zhao Ran's eyes bulged out when he saw it!
Thanks to yangzhigang, listen to the song of the sea and reward!
