Chapter 220 Weird Runes

Bayin's ancestor was named Balin, and his life experience was legendary.

He was originally a slave in a mine, living a dark life all day long. If nothing unexpected happened, his final fate would be to keep mining until he died of exhaustion.

As a result, by chance, he actually dug up a broken stone tablet in the mine, from which he obtained a broken practice method.

Afterwards, through secret hard practice, coupled with his talent, he actually changed his fate.

However, because the practice method he practiced was incomplete, he was unable to complete the foundation until the end of his life, but he saved a family business for his descendants and it has been passed down.

Because Balin could not make any progress in practice, he later turned to practice talismans. As a result, he had some talent in this way, and once made a name for himself with the secret method of talismans.

After reading it, Yuan Ming also had some respect for this ancestor in his heart.

After that, he read some deeds and relics related to this person, and slowly sketched out a more vivid and more specific image in his mind.

When he returned to the table and looked at the scroll, he immediately had a different feeling in his heart.

After grinding the ink, Yuan Ming stood solemnly in front of the table and closed his eyes for a long time.

After he opened his eyes, he immediately took up the pen and started painting on the rice paper.

About half an hour later, the image of Bahrain on the rice paper had already jumped onto the paper, and his appearance was nine points similar to the original, and his expression was close to seven points.

Yuan Ming raised his eyes and looked at the details of the original portrait again. When he was about to continue painting, his brows suddenly frowned.

He raised his head abruptly and stared at a pattern on the clothes of the scroll.

I saw that the pattern there was complicated, completely different from the other patterns around, and even seemed a little out of place.

At first, Yuan Ming thought that there were also cracks in the paper, or there was some stain covering it, but when he looked carefully, he found that it was not that simple.

Yuan Ming's mind moved slightly, and the power of his consciousness and magic power began to flow to his eyes together, and his pupils lit up slightly.

His sight fell on the scroll, and it suddenly became clear and incomparable.

"This is a rune, this must be a rune..." Yuan Ming couldn't help whispering in surprise.

After saying this, he was a little puzzled. Why is there a rune on this portrait? Judging from its position and twisted lines, it can be seen that it is obviously hidden on it.

"It's just a rune, why is it deliberately hidden on the portrait?" Yuan Ming pondered.

When he thought of this, he suddenly remembered that the biography he had just read had mentioned it obscurely.

The reason why Bayin's ancestor was able to make a career in the southern border and northern region with a mere peak of the Qi Refining Stage was because he mastered a secret method of controlling corpses.

At that time, Yuan Ming still felt strange. He was obviously not a soul cultivator. What method did he use to control corpses?

"Could it be a corpse-controlling rune?" This thought suddenly popped up in Yuan Ming's mind.

He immediately took out the yellow talisman paper, brush, cinnabar and other materials used for drawing talismans from the storage ring and tried to draw the talisman.

When he was in the Fire Refining Hall before, he followed Senior Brother Amuhe to practice drawing talismans. Yuan Ming's skills were not bad. On the contrary, because of his strong soul, he was quite talented in this field.

However, it was the first time to draw a talisman on yellow talisman paper.

Yuan Ming carefully observed the appearance of the rune again, analyzed the starting and ending points of the pen, and then took a breath, held his breath and concentrated, and began to draw on the white paper.

Drawing talismans is particularly important to be done in one go. When writing, the lines must be smooth and there must be no interruption.

Once the strokes are broken, the rune cannot flow smoothly, it cannot communicate with the world, and the effect cannot be exerted, and it can only become a waste.

Yuan Ming knew this well, but he failed in his first attempt.

The structure of this rune is ten times more complicated than the runes he had drawn in the past, and he went wrong when he was halfway through.

Yuan Ming uncovered the white paper and drew again.

The result was not unexpected, it was still a failure.

However, Yuan Ming never lacked patience and never gave up. He practiced from day to night.

During these hours, Yuan Ming did not stop for a moment. Even when Fu Qing came to bring him food, he was persuaded to go back.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. At midnight, he finally succeeded.

He picked up the white paper on the table and looked at it carefully. It looked exactly the same as the scroll. The lines were smooth, without any delay, and there was no trace of interruption.

Yuan Ming nodded with satisfaction and threw it aside.

At his feet, waste paper piled up into a small hill as high as his knees, but there was only a little paper left for painting.

Yuan Ming took out a pill and swallowed it. He returned to the bed and meditated for half an hour before returning to the table again.

This time, he spread a piece of yellow paper he bought, ground the spiritual ink with cinnabar and spiritual stone powder for himself, grabbed a small wolf hair cone, dipped it in ink, and began to draw on the yellow talisman paper.

With nearly a thousand attempts before, Yuan Ming was able to draw the talisman easily this time.

When the rune was written, Yuan Ming immediately felt it in his heart, and found that the yellow talisman paper in his hand sank slightly, and a faint spiritual power fluctuation emanated from the surface.

"It's done." Yuan Ming was delighted.

He lifted the yellow paper talisman, looked at it carefully for a moment, raised his hand and waved, summoning "Heavenly Snake Master".

Whether it is a corpse-controlling talisman, you will know after trying it.

Yuan Ming immediately picked up the talisman and slapped it towards the chest of the Heavenly Snake Master.

When the yellow paper talisman fell on him, Yuan Ming urged a little magic power to pass it into it, and the talisman paper immediately burned and turned into a ball of yellow light, which merged into the body of the Jindan stage in a flash.

As the light disappeared, Yuan Ming immediately moved his mind and waved his finger to try to command the body to move.

However, the Heavenly Snake Master stood there, motionless.

"What's going on? Did I make a wrong judgment? Isn't this a corpse control talisman?" Yuan Ming tried several times, but found nothing.

Just when he was regretful, his eyes suddenly shrank and he found something unusual.

This corpse that had been dead for who knows how many years actually had a faint wave of blood and qi!

This is simply a fairy tale.

When Yuan Ming was shocked, he hurried forward to check carefully, and found that there was actually a blood and qi force in the body of the corpse out of thin air. It no longer looked like a hard zombie, but like a living corpse.

After a moment of hesitation, he immediately pointed at his forehead, and a black soul crow spread its wings and flew out, crashing into the forehead of the Heavenly Snake Master.

The Heavenly Snake Master slowly opened his eyes.

After the soul crow took control, Yuan Ming felt more deeply. He controlled the Heavenly Snake Master to walk around the room, constantly changing his posture, and his sense of surprise became stronger and stronger.

The original zombie seemed to have a little more vitality out of thin air, and the body became more flexible and more flexible, and it became easier and more convenient to control it with the soul crow.

However, the blood and qi power came from the talisman, which was not permanent, and as time passed, it was lost bit by bit and became weaker and weaker.

"If this body has blood and qi power, and there is a soul crow as a spiritual consciousness, then wouldn't it be much different from a 'living person'?" Yuan Ming suddenly had an idea.

Thinking of this, he immediately wanted to use the Nine Yuan Jue's exercise method to urge the Heavenly Snake Master to operate his magic power, but the result was useless.

"It really doesn't work... Let's try the white ape skin again."

While the power of the talisman had not completely disappeared, Yuan Ming immediately took out the white ape skin and put it on the body of the Heavenly Snake Master.

As a ray of magic power was transferred into it, the white ape skin actually flashed with white light, began to extend and expand, and wrapped around the body of the Heavenly Snake Master.

Not long after, it actually turned into a long-haired white ape about ten feet tall.

At the same time, Yuan Ming also felt that the blood and qi in the body of the Heavenly Snake Master were rapidly consumed. Before he could figure out what was going on, the power of the talisman completely disappeared.

Yuan Ming's soul crow also couldn't withstand the erosion of the evil spirit in its body and retreated.

"Hey, the power of this talisman is consumed too quickly. Maybe the material used is too ordinary. It might be better to replace it with a higher-level one." Yuan Ming rubbed his eyebrows and thought so.

At this time, he stretched out his hand to put away the Heavenly Snake Master.

When he reached out his hand, his expression suddenly froze: "What... is going on?"

It was not until this time that he discovered that the white ape skin that should have automatically retracted was still on the body of the Heavenly Snake Master, and it was not simply draped, but still maintained the appearance of a long-haired white ape.

When Yuan Ming reached out to pull it, he found that the white ape skin was tightly integrated with the body of the Heavenly Snake Master, and it seemed to grow together.

"What's going on? The flesh and blood have merged?" Yuan Ming could not help but stare in amazement.

If this was a living person, if the hair-covering technique was used many times, it would indeed be possible for the skin to merge with the flesh and eventually become a human.

But this was only used once, and on a corpse?

Yuan Ming could not figure it out. After a careful inspection, he found that the Heavenly Snake Master, who had transformed into a white ape, had no other strange things on his body, and was still the same as before.

He even urged the Soul Crow to control the corpse again, and found that he could still use it as before, and even the length of time he used it did not change. Everything was the same as before.

Yuan Ming had no choice but to give up and put it away.

After all this trouble, it was getting light outside.

After a short rest, Yuan Ming picked up his pen again and began to paint the hanging portrait of Bahrain. After all, he had originally said that he would finish the painting within seven days.

He looked at the details of the original portrait again, and then made some fine adjustments on the rice paper, and finally completed the painting of the scroll.

Compared with the original, the portrait copied at this moment is very close in appearance and demeanor. Apart from the new and old, there is not much difference.
