Chapter 1007: Seeing the Talisman in the Formation
Fu Lin covered his book again and sighed, "Mr. Huangfu didn't realize his talent. He was born tens of thousands of years too late. I'll show you."
There are hundreds of thousands of types of talismans, ranging from daily trivial matters such as repairing chairs, making beds, and lighting, to important national affairs such as mountain excavation, reclamation, and war. They are all included. Huangfu Yanghao's book only excerpts There are one hundred and seventy-four items, not because they are the most powerful, nor because they are strange, but because he occasionally had an idea when writing the talisman and wrote it down casually. At first glance, it is messy, but after careful reading, you can see that the talisman is A teacher's way of writing.
As a descendant of Empress Fu, Fu Lin must learn both talismans and the art of war. He prefers the former. Although he is not outstanding, he has read many books and worshiped many masters. After reading the scroll for the second time, he found that he Knowing so little about talismans, I have endless admiration for Huangfu Yanghaoden.
The two had known each other for many years. Huangfu Yanghao had a bad temper, but he was polite to the emperor's unpopular grandson, but he rarely talked about Fu Lu with him, probably because he felt that Fu Lin was not a man of the trade yet, and he didn't want to waste time.
Even now, after reading it twice, it was still difficult for Fu Lin to understand some of the statements, but he was still deeply shocked and felt that all the talismans he had learned before were in vain.
"When the talismans were first separated from the Taoist tradition, there were twenty to thirty thousand types, all of which were cultivation techniques and fighting methods. In the first three thousand years since the Long Bin Society was established, the number of talismans increased to 150,000 to 150,000 to 60,000, and almost all important rules for writing talismans were It was all established at that time. In the tens of thousands of years since then, the types of talismans have continued to increase, but they have been tinkered with and rarely innovated. As for the rules for writing talismans, they are so solid that no one dares to change them. "
If you want to understand the greatness of Huangfu Yanghao, you have to mention the history of Longbinhui. Fu Lin was talking enthusiastically, but the listeners were not interested. Mu Xingqiu remained silent, and Shou Que, who had changed his temperament, said coldly: "What are you talking about?" Someone took a different approach and created a more powerful talisman writing rule?"
"Well, you can't say that. The method of writing talismans is a rule determined by the previous generation of talisman masters who spent many years of hard work. Like the foundation of a mountain, it cannot be moved. It is not easy for Mr. Huangfu to make some changes halfway up the mountain."
"It's very difficult to survive. Stay away from me and don't make noises in my ears. And you, go and inform everyone in the valley to finish eating, drinking, and defecating within half an hour, and then everyone will position themselves for me." "Yesterday's water attack was advanced, and today's wood attack is hard to predict. Come on, now is not the time to relax."
Shou Que took the command away without asking. A dozen followers looked at her in surprise, then looked at General Mu. Seeing that he didn't raise any objection, they followed the order to organize the mortals to form formations as soon as possible.
Fu Lin stepped aside sternly, and Shou Que asked Mu Xingqiu again, "Are you okay?"
To others, it sounded like he was asking how General Mu was recovering, but Mu Xingqiu understood that he was asking if he could lead the formation and try to activate the inner elixirs, but they still spun slowly and refused to provide more mana. , then shook his head, "You come to the main formation."
Shou Que walked up to the platform politely, "You two just stand here and play with things like talismans. When I tell you how to set up the formation later, you both have to obey the orders honestly. Do you understand?"
Mu Xingqiu and Fu Lin nodded at the same time and stood together near the earth platform.
"General Mu is really..." Fu Lin glanced at Shou Qiu who was walking around on the platform thinking about the details of the formation, and did not dare to say anything further.
"The way of the weak does not rely solely on one person, she can do it well." Mu Xingqiu said, in fact, anyone who has participated in setting up the formation before is qualified to be the leader of the formation, but the one with deeper magical power and more determined will will be the leader. The better the effect of the formation, the stronger the defense at these two points.
Many people saw Shou Que on the earth platform, and were quite surprised. They saw General Mu still standing near the earth platform, and then they felt relieved. Shou Que had cast many spells in public and brought back a large number of mortals. He received great support. Second only to General Mu, especially since there were so many women and children in the valley, he was even more affectionate towards her.
Mu Xingqiu was still interested in the talisman. Fu Lin told the story in a low voice, and Shou Que didn't interrupt again.
"Brush, ink, paper, people, the talisman is the tripod, and these four are the base. If one is missing, it will be unstable, if two are missing, it will not stand, and if three are missing..." Fu Lin felt a chill on the back of his head, and he knew what was happening without looking back. After all, I didn’t dare to mention the word “que” again, and continued after coughing twice: “Each of the four legs has its own use, using Tao as a metaphor, a person is a Taoist priest, the ink is the Niwan Palace, the paper is the Jiang Palace, and the pen is the Lower Dantian. …”
Fu Lin first talked about the basic knowledge of talismans. These things cannot be changed. As a talisman writer, Huangfu Yanghao specializes in ink.
"There are more than a thousand types of talisman ink, and each type of talisman writing effect is different. Certain talismans must be dedicated to a certain type of talisman ink to exert their full power. For example... Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Mr. Huangfu is very good at making ink. He has a lot of Taoist experience, most of which are related to this in the book. He thought of an ingenious way to directly integrate a talisman into the ink in advance. The talisman written with this ink has two functions at the same time. The so-called two talismans in one stroke. That's right. When he used mortal blood to make ink, he added a protective talisman, but when he used Grandmaster Zhao's blood, he didn't. So when the talisman was released, we were fine, but Grandmaster Zhao was injured. Alas, I misunderstood. Mr. Huangfu.”
Mu Xingqiu recalled the expressions on Huangfu Yanghao's face at that time, and felt that the talisman writer might have cherished the master's blood too much and did not dare to add other things to the ink at will. But he is dead, so it will never be possible to tell the truth. clear.
Half an hour later, the mortals in the valley began to stand in a circle. They were very tired after dealing with the Five Elements Tribulation for several days, but when they thought that there were still Wood Attack and Dao Fire Attack, they did not dare to complain and be indifferent. .
After the formation was completed, you couldn't talk casually. Shou Que was more strict than General Mu. Fu Lin didn't dare to disobey his orders even though he didn't finish his sentence. He returned the scroll to Mu Xingqiu, pointed out a few talismans, and asked him to focus on them.
The first thing Mu Xingqiu looked at was the Standing Talisman. Huangfu Yanghao made many comments about this talisman. He first lamented that blood ink was rare and seemed to be quite dissatisfied with the ban. Then he analyzed the pros and cons of the talisman. In his opinion, the Standing Talisman was the biggest. The characteristic is that it is widely spread, but its power is not satisfactory. He has come up with several improvement methods that can greatly increase its power. However, it is difficult to prove whether the method is effective due to lack of practical opportunities.
The top-standing talisman is different from ordinary talismans. It is not one talisman, but forty-four talismans. They are written on the four sides of the tripod body. They are written in sequence and take effect at the same time. It has the meaning of a profound magic circle.
Mu Xingqiu asked for some paper talismans from Fu Lin. He currently had very little mana, and his technique for offering sacrifices to the talismans was crude, and he did not have the Fire Sacrifice Seal on his body, so the effect was very poor. The paper talismans turned into ashes with a scoff in his hands. The ashes disappeared as soon as they showed some form, and one of them almost set his sleeve on fire.
The mortals around him respected General Mu and felt that everything he did had profound meanings and did not dare to make random judgments. Fu Lin saw that he was clumsy and hesitated to speak, and finally turned his head away.
Mu Xingqiu sacrificed a talisman, read a few pages of the book, and slowly figured out the context of writing talisman and sacrificing talisman, and an idea slowly emerged in his mind.
He is different from other talisman masters and practitioners in the world. Almost all his memory about magic has been lost, so there are no ready-made rules in his mind. The foundation that Fu Lin thought was unchangeable was not so stable for Mu Xingqiu. .
Huangfu Yanghao made some changes on the mountainside of the talisman, which was enough to surprise and even scare all the talisman masters in the world. However, Mu Xingqiu followed the talisman master's thoughts and looked deeper, feeling that some basic rules could also be changed. .
He meditated there. Shoudi had completed the formation and began to make clay images and place them around one by one. Her magic power was much more powerful than the brocade clusters. The gods she created were all exquisite, as if they were fired from a porcelain kiln. Yes, the mortals around her share her spells, and the statue in her hand is much better than before, at least the features are clear and the form is complete.
At a quarter past noon, when everyone was feeling tired and starting to complain softly, Mu Xingqiu suddenly put away his books and said to Shou Que on the platform, "Here we come."
"Which one?"
"The calamity of the Five Elements."
Mu Xingqiu's sensitivity to spells dropped significantly, but did not disappear completely. He noticed that the foreshadowing spells in the air tended to gather together, so he speculated that the wooden attack was coming.
Shou Que raised the statue in his hand and wanted to imitate General Mu to say something, but he couldn't find the right words. Finally, he loudly said: "Living is better than death. Everyone, please show your strength. Let's You can successfully survive the disaster of the wood attack. No one should be lazy. If I find out, no matter you are male or female, old or young, intentional or unintentional, I will throw you out of the valley and let you die on your own!"
The new formation leader did not have the majesty, solemnity and compassion of General Mu, but her tyranny was effective. Everyone said "dare not", and they all cheered up and concentrated on preparing for battle.
Shou Que took a special look at Mu Xingqiu, and when he saw that he was also holding a clay statue in his hand, he gave a satisfied sigh.
There was a sound of drums from the underground, as if an army was about to break out of the ground. Although they had experienced four catastrophes, everyone's expressions still changed slightly. They felt that they were insignificant and powerless. Their trust in the formation of the formation was even deeper, and they still had some worries in their hearts. I'm afraid that defending the main formation is not as skillful as General Mu.
The first tree attack in the valley appeared on the edge of the hillside, which was filled with dead trees that had fallen in the previous five elemental catastrophes. The vegetation in the valley had long been eradicated and was piled around. A big tree suddenly jumped out of the pile of wood, like a fountain gushing out. It instantly grew to several feet tall. Soon, a large number of new trees grew one after another, all with lush branches, leaves and flowers.
As long as you don't happen to stand where the trees grow, these trees look harmless. However, everyone has experience, and no one dares to be careless. Together with the leader of the formation, they recite the phrase "I am" and prepare for the formation.
Those new trees grow quickly and wither quickly. Within a moment of planting, the flowers and leaves fall away and the branches wither and turn to ashes. Countless flowers and leaves are floating but not falling, gradually spreading, they are the weapons of wood attack.
An evil wind blew from outside the valley, sweeping in circles and getting stronger and stronger. It just refused to leave and swept in a large number of flowers and leaves, surrounding the mortals in the valley.
Shou Que snorted, "The old Taoist is really insidious, he actually teamed up with the Five Elements Tribulation to attack."
