In front of Xuan Weizi was a gently sloping mountainside, with a tall and steep narrow ridge extending to the northwest. Rolling clouds crossed the ridge and dispersed to the south, forming a thin mist. Fine ice crystals drifted with the wind, shining in the sun.
A rainbow light was refracted from below, like a curtain covering the mountainside.
On the other side of the mountainside, a stream formed by melted snow and water gushes out from the cracks in the rocks, meandering through the slopes and flowing downwards.
"Yes, with the winds returning and the water flowing around, the yin and yang being righteous, it is quite suitable to build a Qingxiu cave." Xuan Weizi nodded and said.
Sandori and Rosaleen followed him, looked around, and asked, "What did you bring us here for?"
Xuan Weizi said: "You should live here in the future."
Rosaleen asked: "Here? There is nothing here? Are you setting up a tent or digging a cave?"
"How come there is nothing in what you see with your eyes, hear with your ears, and touch with your body?" Xuan Weizi said with a smile: "Don't worry, the materials are all complete, just wait a moment."
After saying this, Xuan Weizi raised his arms, as if he was going to cast some strange spell.
One minute passed, two minutes passed... five minutes... ten minutes, more than half an hour passed, Xuan Weizi still kept the same movement of raising his arms, like a statue, in front of him
Sandori and Rosalind waiting behind were a little impatient.
Rosalian lay on the ground and yawned, thinking in her mind: "What are you doing? I thought he was going to flatten the mountain, but he didn't respond for a long time, is that okay?"
Sandori sat on the ground leaning against Rosalian, not knowing what Xuan Weizi was planning to do. She looked around boredly, wondering if she would live in a place like this in the future? Although she had a wide view, there was no one else around.
It feels no different from a prison.
Just as the two of them were falling asleep, they saw a powerful wave emanating from Xuan Weizi's body, and some fine sand, gravel and dust slowly floated around his feet. Sandori and Rosalian noticed something strange, and then
This powerful wave swept through the surroundings, forming a suffocating resonance, like a real sense of oppression coming towards you, and there was also a strange roar echoing in your head.
Sandori and Rosalin were speechless by this sense of oppression and had to retreat continuously. As they retreated, they noticed the ground beneath their feet trembled and became soft. They saw the ground rumbling and huge stone pillars rising from the ground.
As it rose, the crackling sound of broken wood could be heard nearby.
When I looked up, there were rocks, soil, iron sand, and wood flying from the sky, and there were even trickles of water being swept up into the air. These things flew together in front of Xuan Weizi, and invisible forces cut, grinded, and spliced them together.
There seemed to be flashes of fire in the air, smelting the blanks and casting the metal.
As the dust stirred, a small castle appeared on the mountainside. From the outside, the main body of the castle was two houses and a spire tower, surrounded by a two-person-high wall outside. The entire castle was not large in scale, more like the earth.
That kind of private villa with its own garden, but it looks more stable and solid, and it faintly exudes magic aura.
"Phew - I almost vomited blood from exhaustion." After the dust settled, Xuan Weizi put down his arms and bent down with his knees to catch his breath: "I have held back enough strength, and this is the scale... I originally wanted to build a waterside pavilion garden.
A garden with pavilions and pavilions, but that thing is too complicated, and the difficulty of casting the spell has increased exponentially, so we can only build such a small castle."
"Wow - this, how did you do this?" Rosalian couldn't help but be excited and curious, jumping up and down on all fours and asked: "You are so amazing, you actually did something like this all of a sudden.
A bigger house!”
"This can barely be regarded as a castle." Xuan Weizi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "How did you do it... In fact, in the final analysis, it is 'protecting objects'."
Rosaleen didn't understand: "Uh... what is that?"
Xuan Weizi thought for a while, and probably couldn't understand it even after explaining it, so she had to answer: "A rather special kind of telekinesis, or telekinesis."
"Psychic power?" Sandoli also walked forward with a surprised look on her face, looking at the castle rising from the ground in disbelief: "I heard the teacher mention that the mage has a spell called 'Mage's Hand', which can be passed through
Telekinesis makes objects move. However, it is impossible to move such a castle!"
Sandori simply felt that the ability of the "Doctor Olanso" in front of her was completely beyond imagination. Even if she knew that he was very powerful before, it was impossible to just create a castle? What if the colonists' mages had this?
With such strength, the idea of strengthening the tribe to fight colonial expansion is simply a dream.
"Oh, that spell, I've also heard of it. There are also psychic powers that control things with telekinesis, but my method of controlling objects is different from these." Xuan Weizi said.
Sandori asked: "What's the difference?"
Xuan Weizi slowly adjusted his breath and said: "The foundation of controlling objects lies in induction, and after getting rid of the consciousness, the soul appears and can see external objects, achieving the state of synaesthesia between things and myself. When my heart moves, the objects move, and I
When Qi Jing is quiet, things will transform by themselves... It's too difficult to tell you this now. In short, you understand that it is telekinesis brought about by the combination of a special physical and mental state and the external environment, which resonate with each other."
Rosalian sighed and said: "I suddenly felt a little lucky that you didn't use this kind of power to deal with me."
"What? You are thinking too much!" Xuan Weizi said: "The method of controlling objects cannot control other conscious creatures. In this regard, it is not even as good as the 'controlling limbs' of psychic powers!"
"But, this..." Rosalian looked at the castle and then at Xuan Weizi. Why did this sound so strange?
Xuan Weizi had no choice but to explain to them: "Any living thing is actually a combination of body and consciousness. Even if its body is not flesh and blood, even if it is a more extreme elemental body, ghost, or virtual life, it is at the level of Taoism."
In other words, they also have their own body concept.
The method of controlling things is actually that I am no longer bound by the original constraints of my eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body, and have expanded my definition of my body concept. The flowing wind is me, the stream is me, and the mountains are me. As long as there is no soul and consciousness, everything is me.
You can be my envoy.
When I cast the spell, I will no longer identify these sandstones, grass and trees, because they are part of me. If you raise your hands and step forward, gasp and blink, will you feel any strangeness and confusion? No, because this is your instinct.
As for the psychic ability of 'controlling limbs', it is not essentially about controlling the mind to control the opponent's limbs, but relying on the telekinesis power of psychic energy to interfere with the movement of the opponent's limbs from the outside. As long as the Fortitude save is high enough - to put it bluntly, it is to resist one's own body.
If the interference ability is strong, the 'control of limbs' will not be effective. So it seems that they are all telekinesis or telekinesis, but in essence the two are very different."
"Then...how long will this castle last?" Sandori asked.
Xuan Weizi didn't quite understand what she meant by asking, so he said, "Despite the rain and wind, it will decay one day. But as long as it is not destroyed by external forces, it will be fine for hundreds of years."
"What?!" Sandori asked eagerly: "Don't things created by magic have a time limit?"
Xuan Weizi understood now and quickly shook his head in denial: "This is not a magical creation. I don't rely on magic to make things come together out of thin air... but I just follow the steps of mining rocks, cutting down trees, building buildings, etc.
It was completed in one go, even the materials were summoned nearby, and it was more akin to plastic energy and change.
Besides, it's still empty here. I just completed the main building, which is the mage's 'sanctuary' or 'mage mansion'. It's fully furnished with tables, chairs, beds, and comes with secret magic locks, alarm protection, and invisible servants.
The service, even the hot soup and meals are prepared, how can I compare to this?"
Sandori said: "Those are all time-effective spells and disappear in a blink of an eye. But the castle you built can stand for a long time."
"How long? Is there anything in the world that lasts forever?" Xuan Weizi shook his head and said, "Let's go in and have a look."
The two of them entered this small castle that resembled a villa and manor. Xuan Weizi was naturally not very curious. After all, before he cast the spell to control the objects, all the details of this place had been carefully constructed in his mind. If he couldn't do this,
, no matter how great the method of controlling things is, it cannot build a complete building.
Sandori and Rosalian looked around very excitedly. After Sandori ran into the house, Rosalian said repeatedly: "Quick! Make me smaller quickly, I want to go in and take a look!"
Xuan Weizi raised his hand and cast a "Shrinking Technique". Rosalian's figure became the size of an ordinary saber-toothed leopard, and she nimbly ran into the house.
Although it is not the ancient Chinese style building that Xuan Weizi likes, it does not have pavilions, terraces, pavilions, meandering water bottles, but the monks built the cave for the purpose of keeping away from the secular world. Excessive decoration is useless, in this cold wind howling place
In the mountains and forests, it is most practical to be strong and secure, and to be protected from wind and rain.
However, if you think about it carefully, your own method of controlling objects is indeed unexpectedly powerful. If it were on earth, there should be no such magical power after the divine energy is embraced together. It should be based on the power of the soul, so in terms of the control of external objects by the mind
, has extraordinary abilities? Moreover, Xuan Weizi sensed it and found that the entire small castle seemed to have its own protective spell effect.
"Is this... avoiding detection? Why isn't it a secret room effect?" Xuan Weizi pondered: "There is 'avoiding detection' in psychic powers, but I used to think that it can only hinder detection to a certain extent, and the effect is not good enough.
, when I made the magic talisman, I improved it to achieve an effect similar to that of a mage's secret room, just to prevent others from knowing what I was doing inside."
After careful consideration, Xuan Weizi discovered the difference between the two. The protective field constructed by the "Mage's Chamber" did not simply isolate detection, and the communication spells could also communicate internally and externally, but also interfered with the feedback information of the detection spells.
Therefore, when you cast a detection spell on the mage's chamber, you will see only darkness and haziness.
But "avoiding detection" distorts the detection spell from the beginning, and is more like a stealth fighter absorbing and deflecting radar waves. If the detection effect is successfully avoided, then the detection spell will gain nothing.
"It seems that the previous use of 'remote viewing' in the ruins yielded nothing. It should have been absorbed or deflected by some kind of detection avoidance effect."
So it seems that "avoiding detection" is lower level than "Mage's Chamber", but it cannot be simply concluded that low-level spells have no use! Realizing the difference in the inner principles of the two makes Xuan Weizi feel happy~
Sandori and Rosalin walked around the small castle and returned to the small courtyard very excitedly. It seemed that they really regarded this place as their new home. It can only be said that they had nothing, were displaced, and suddenly
Obtaining a big house, turning points and drastic changes in life can often highlight a person's true nature.
"Have you finished reading?" Xuan Weizi observed Sandori's slightly flushed face because of running around, and said: "In the next few days, you will live here. You have to try to get the furniture and other supplies needed for life.
Make it yourself... wouldn’t it be too difficult?”
Sandori calmed down and nodded: "I can weave clothes, make cloth, and make pottery pots and utensils."
"That's fine." Xuan Weizi continued: "I plan to go back to Chaidui Town, and I may teach you other skills in a few days. You can find your own food."
"I understand." Rosalin said cheerfully: "You can go back without worries."
"Why are you so anxious? You didn't even have a house to live in before." After Xuan Weizi said this, he sacrificed Hengyizi, and then silently used his divine energy, and then his body floated into the sky, and a cloud of mist spread outward with Hengyizi as the center.
Forming a swirling cloud of smoke that shrouds the mountainside.
This piece of lingering clouds and smoke is not fixed, but swirls and wanders with the wind in the mountains, as if no matter how violent the wind is, it cannot be blown away.
After Xuan Weizi landed, Rosalian said: "Oh, what a beautiful scenery, why do you have to cover it up?"
"This place has a wide view and is not a hidden place. Although this small castle has its own 'avoid detection' function, it will still be visible to the naked eye. I don't want the place of Qingxiu to be known to outsiders." Xuan Weizi said: "
If you don’t have to, don’t go too far away from here, and don’t mention this place to others.”
Rosaleen said: "There won't be anyone else around here anyway."
"Just in case." Xuan Weizi turned to look at Sandori and asked, "What? Do you think I'm trapping you?"
"No, it's not." Sandoli lowered her head, not daring to meet Xuan Weizi's eyes.
"You don't have to think about it. In fact, I am just confining you." Xuan Weizi said: "As the former totem guardian of the Banbeast tribe, you cannot be accepted in the eyes of the colonists of Chaidui Town or the people of the past.
.And outside these places, there are many powerful people from all walks of life and unpredictable dangers. Do you think you will have a foothold if you leave here? Concentrate your mind. When I come back, there will be times when you will suffer hardships."
After saying this, Xuan Weizi took Hengyizi and jumped up. Hengyizi turned into a cloud of light, wrapped around Xuanweizi and made a thunderbolt sound, breaking through the wind and flying away through the clouds.
