Legend of Douluo: Qingyun

Early that morning, Yuan Wentian was jogging in the playground as usual. Xiao Wu staggered behind him, her little mouth pouting so much that two oil bottles could hang on it.

Jogging a few laps on the playground every day is a required course for Yuan Wentian. This not only keeps people in a positive and energetic state at all times, but also sharpens people's perseverance over time.

Xiao Wu felt it was new at first, so she ran with Yuan Wentian, but after a few days, she felt very boring. She stayed in bed in the morning and refused to get up, but Yuan Wentian didn't want her to give up halfway.After several ideological educations, Xiao Wu honestly followed Yuan Wentian to get up early for a run.

After persisting for a semester, Xiao Wu's physique is getting better and better, and because of his relationship with Buddhist and Taoist fellow practitioners, this person also has an extraterrestrial temperament. His two slender and tight jade legs feel as if they are not touched. You can feel the active elasticity from the inside out, giving people a very refreshing feeling of vitality and youth.

After returning to the dormitory, Xiao Wu lay facelessly on the bed, then skillfully raised her right leg, fully demonstrating her flexibility, and placed her slender calf directly on Yuan Wentian's shoulder.

Yuan Wentian smiled, pinched her ankle with one hand, and gently rubbed the muscles of her calf with the other hand, using Tai Chi Xuan Qing Tao's Tai Chi energy to penetrate the texture.

Xiao Wu immediately closed her eyes comfortably, and her little face showed a bit of blush.Even through her pants, the heat in Yuan Wentian's palm could still be transmitted into her feet, just like soaking in hot spring water. The soothing feeling made Xiao Wu's eyes blur for a while.

Looking at the green light in Yuan Wentian's hand, Xiao Wu's eyes showed envy. This is Tai Chi Yuan Qi that can only be cultivated at the third level of Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao Jade Clear Realm. He doesn't know how long it will take for him to cultivate to that level.

Monks practice spiritual power, and Tai Chi Yuan Qi is the spiritual power cultivated in Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao.The first to third levels of Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao Yu Qing are the foundation of all techniques, and the difficulty is also gradually increasing.

Different from the first two levels of "Introducing Qi" and "Refining Qi", the third level of "Yuan Qi" has focused on cultivating Tai Chi Yuan Qi.

When the disciples of Qingyunmen reach this level of practice, there will be a clear watershed, and the level of aptitude is clear at a glance.

Intelligent people often break through to a higher realm of "expelling things" in one fell swoop, and then lay a solid foundation for practicing the immortal way. However, less powerful disciples often stagnate and waste their lives.For example, Yuan Wentian's uncles who have never met have been stuck on the third level of Yuqing Realm for decades, unable to break through.

However, after cultivating to the third level of Yuqing Realm, one can theoretically have a lifespan of three decades, which is twice as long as that of ordinary people.So even if his senior uncles could no longer make breakthroughs, they still had decades to live.

The same goes for soul masters. For most soul masters, level 20 is also the threshold of the two realms of ice and fire. It is also the first watershed in the growth process of soul masters. If you cross this threshold before the age of 20, your future prospects will be limitless.If you can't cross [-] years old.Then, it will never be possible to make the leap.

Some soul masters with weak innate soul power and weak martial souls will find it difficult to break through the threshold of the third ring throughout their lives.After passing this threshold, you are no longer a junior soul master, but have entered the intermediate threshold.

Yuan Wentian thought for a while and realized that he had now reached the third level of Yuqing Realm in Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao. His soul power had been initially transformed into spiritual power. He could try some simple alchemy, weapon refining, and talisman making.

There is no rush for refining elixirs and refining weapons for the time being.Although his current soul master subsidy has reached ten gold soul coins per month, he still cannot afford the consumption of materials required for alchemy and weapon refining.Moreover, alchemy also requires a special alchemy furnace, which can only be cast after he has achieved certain achievements in weapon refining.

The consumption required to make talismans is much smaller. The only materials required to make low-level talismans are cinnabar and yellow paper. These things add up to more than ten copper soul coins.

After making up his mind, Yuan Wentian smiled and said, "Xiao Wu, today is the weekend. Can my brother take you to the city to play?"

Xiao Wu immediately cheered, rode on Yuan Wentian's shoulder, and said cheerfully: "Let's ride out of the city!"

Yuan Wentian jumped out of bed lightly, strode out of the dormitory, and walked towards Soto City.

After taking Xiao Wu around Soto City and grabbing a lot of snacks, clothes, etc., the little girl followed Yuan Wentian back to the academy with satisfaction.

Yuan Wentian also bought pen and ink, cinnabar, and yellow paper, preparing to draw the first talisman in his life.

Talisman is an important branch among the Taoist magical arts. It mainly uses runes to communicate with heaven and earth. It has the effect of curing diseases and eliminating disasters, summoning gods and impeaching ghosts, and suppressing demons and demons.

The low-level Talisman Seal can cure diseases, eliminate disasters, and calm the mind, while the high-level Talisman Seal has great power that is not inferior to the divine channel method.Therefore, talismans also have a place in today's powerful magical channels.

Qingyunzi, the founder of the Qingyun Sect, was a fortune teller in the early years, and talisman was one of his skills in traveling in the world.

However, the "Little Notes on Talisman" that Zhang Xiaofan left to Yuan Wentian did not record the runes and production methods of high-level talismans, so Yuan Wentian could only make some middle- and low-level talismans.But it was enough for him.

This was Yuan Wentian's first time writing talismans. Zhang Xiaofan was not around and he had nowhere to ask for advice, so he could only slowly explore on his own.

Yuan Wentian first practiced writing runes with ordinary white paper and ink, while Xiao Wu lay on the table and watched with curiosity.

The talisman Yuan Wentian chose to write was the "Exorcism Talisman", which is one of the most basic talismans.

It has many functions. When ordinary people wear it, they can protect themselves from external evils. Turning the exorcism talisman into talisman water and drinking it can cure common colds and various diseases.

Yuan Wentian chose it, firstly, because the exorcism talisman was the most suitable talisman to lay the foundation for, and secondly, because he wanted to make as many as possible to keep his parents and other villagers safe.

According to the "Little Explanation of Talismans", there are three main points in writing talismans.

First, if you want to write amulets, you must first purify your mind. Only by clearing away distracting thoughts and focusing your mind can you successfully enter the state of writing amulets.

Second, the talisman must be written in one go. There are many places in complex runes that require one stroke. Any pause or interruption may cause the talisman to be invalid.

The third step is to infuse spiritual power into the runes. This process is called "spiritual infusion".During the spiritual filling process, if the spiritual power is injected too much or too little, the book talisman will fail.

The first thing Yuan Wentian has to do is to familiarize himself with the runes of the "Exorcist Talisman". These runes are composed of irregular dots and lines. It is not an easy task to write it in one go and requires a lot of practice. .

Yuan Wentian first practiced writing runes using ordinary white paper and ink. Although the exorcism talisman was not of high grade, the runes were very complicated and dazzling to look at.

……

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Xiao Wu looked at the large pile of white paper on the table with confusion, as well as Yuan Wentian, who was concentrating on writing various twisted, complicated and weird fonts and graphics on the paper.

Yuan Wentian glanced at her and said simply: "Book Talisman."

"Book Talisman?"

Looking at Xiao Wu's confused look.

Yuan Wentian explained: "Shufu is the process of making talismans, and talisman is the collective name of talisman and urn. talisman refers to the symbols and graphics with bent strokes, like words but not words, and pictures but not pictures; urn refers to the symbols and figures recorded on the talismans In Taoist philosophy, talismans are written by gods, and they are talisman letters that convey the will of gods. They can be used to summon gods and impeach ghosts, and to subjugate demons and suppress demons."

I saw that Yuan Wentian's hands were constantly moving, and his posture when holding the pen on his wrist was extremely stable, with almost no shaking visible. However, what Yuan Wentian wrote was that the strokes were distorted, complicated and difficult to distinguish, and they did not look like words at all. , but a mysterious and complicated picture.

Yuan Wentian breathed a long sigh of relief. It took him more than half an hour of practice before he could barely draw the rune in one breath.

What needs to be done next is to infuse spiritual power into the cinnabar on the tip of the pen while drawing the runes. During this period, the strength of the spiritual power and whether there are pauses when using the pen are the keys to the success of the calligraphy.

This matter is difficult to think about, and even more difficult to do in practice. My brain has memorized it, and my eyes have learned how to see it, but my hands always refuse to obey my command.

Yuan Wentian sat in front of the desk and calmed down. The cinnabar and yellow papers were all ready.After everything was prepared, Yuan Wentian dipped his pen in cinnabar and began to write on the paper.

The cinnabar appears between the white paper. The fingers hold the penholder and move softly. There is no tremor along the way. It appears to be very stable. A strange and twisted pattern gradually forms on the yellow paper.

After Yuan Wentian picked up the yellow paper and examined it carefully for a while, he couldn't help but shook his head in disappointment.

Although the runes were successfully written, the spiritual imbuing failed.

The method of judging whether a talisman is successful or failed is very simple. After drawing, a talisman that can retain spiritual power is a successful talisman. A talisman whose spiritual power dissipates is no different from waste paper.

In a short time, Yuan Wentian had already scrapped more than ten paintings in a row.Either the runes were drawn wrong or the spirit filling failed.

Making talismans is a laborious and laborious task. After failing for more than ten times in succession, the limited spiritual energy in Yuan Wentian's body has been exhausted, and his head has become dizzy. The mental exhaustion has even more exposed him. A hint of fatigue.

Xiao Wu thoughtfully took out a fragrant handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Yuan Wentian's forehead, and said, "Brother, why don't you take a rest first? If you continue to draw like this, it will consume too much of your energy."

When Yuan Wentian heard this, he could only pause for a moment. Continuing to draw like this would just be a waste of materials and spiritual energy. He might as well analyze the reasons for the failure!

After Yuan Wentian thought for a while, he finally came to the conclusion that when he was writing the runes, he had to recall the runes on the one hand, and maintain his spiritual power on the other. Both of them were distracted, so how could he do it? Be focused?

If the mind is unable to maintain unity, the movement of the talisman will be difficult to be coherent, and the spiritual power will fluctuate, resulting in the failure of making the talisman.

It seems that the book talisman cannot be rushed. The only way is to rely on accumulated practice to let your body achieve muscle memory, so that your mind can focus on filling the soul to ensure the success rate of the book talisman.
