Heavenly Dao Formula

"Not very good, I can only say that it can barely be used to activate spells." Li shook his head.

"But he did calm down."

"The dog demon's resistance to Kanjutsu is already very low. If I were to make the talisman, he would have fallen asleep by now." The fox demon shook his ears.

Well... It seems that the imprints copied from the cat and the tiger are no different from the failed ones. This is the biggest problem with talismans, just like a cursive character is extremely beautiful in the eyes of some people, but it is like a chicken claw in the eyes of others. If the meditation talisman is improved according to Li's ideas, the effect will be greatly reduced if it is replaced by another alchemist who holds other views.

The other talismans were not much better either.

But Xia Fan can at least understand the meaning of the pattern above—for example, Fu Liushu, the three slanted lines on the top represent fluttering willows, and the horizontal curves below should be the ripples of the lake. Although it is a bit abstract, it is the result of thousands of years of refinement. If it is simplified again, it will easily be confused with other talismans, and more precise drawing would waste pen and ink, and the effect will not be improved significantly.

Just because she can understand, the effect in Luo You'er's hands is much greater than that of the meditation talisman.

At the beginning of Lishu, nine times out of ten it evolved from a bonfire, and the streamer of Zhenshu looked like lightning reflected in the water.

Only the purple fluorescent talisman, he couldn't connect the speckled talisman with any real thing at all—if Kanshu Meditation still has traces to follow, then this one looks a bit distorted and smeared Garbled.

I don't know who came up with this weird pattern.

Obviously, except for the last spell, the development process of these charms is very similar to writing.

It gradually evolved as people's understanding of magic gradually deepened, but it was more private.

Words need to be used to communicate, but skills and techniques are not necessary.

——The most important thing is that it is neither predetermined nor bestowed by the gods.

An idea gradually emerged in Xia Fan's mind.

He unfolded a piece of paper and began to draw talismans.

If you want it to be a "talisman" instead of a "graffiti", you have to conceive the effect of the spell in your mind and inject Qi into the pen. As for whether to use ink or cinnabar, the difference is negligible. He also heard from his master that some alchemists like to use their own blood to make talismans, and the techniques they perform will be stronger. For this kind of self-harm, he is still insensitive.

"Huh?" Shan Hui got up from the ground, "What happened to me just now? Suddenly the ground feels so warm."

"Shh." Li Bi gestured softly, "Xia Fan is studying alchemy, you go for a stroll outside the yard."

"My lord... Are you drawing a new talisman?" Shiba Inu wagged his tail and said, "Isn't this something that can be done in a day or two?"

"So you know it too."

"I've seen Miko-sama do it. She shut herself up in the monastery for almost a week, but in the end she still failed."

"It's really not that easy." Li looked at Xia Fan who was writing vigorously, with a smile in his eyes. Gambling talismans are just like gambling with stones. There are all kinds of thoughts in people's minds, and no one knows which one will work. The basic talismans that have been refined so far have already passed the test of thousands of alchemists. "However, if it's Xia Fan, it shouldn't be in vain. After all, the thinking in his head is different from that of normal people. I guess it will take a few days, and I should be able to..."

As soon as she said this, she saw Xia Fan raised his hand.

When that talisman turned into blue smoke, a purple lightning flashed in front of him! It looks like a streamer technique, but whether it is the thickness of the light arc or the length of the purple light, it has changed significantly compared to the previous shock technique.

This distorted electric arc spread all the way to the edge of the courtyard wall before disappearing, and at the same time there was a slight stench in the air.

He only drew a few talismans, and that's it?

Li Leng blinked on the spot. Although he guessed that Xia Fan would be faster than ordinary people, he didn't expect to be so fast.

"Sure enough, the expression of talisman is not limited to natural description." Xia Fan put down his pen and let out a sigh of relief.

"What did you draw?" As the person with the most comprehensive knowledge of spells in the villa, Li couldn't help being more curious. She walked to the long table and picked up one of the sketches.

Then she saw a heavenly script: several horizontal and vertical line segments formed the overall frame of the talisman, some straight lines connected to a wavy curve, and some straight lines connected to small squares. Their arrangement seems to follow a certain logic, but overall it is confusing.

Li immediately realized that this talisman had nothing to do with any kind of basic shock runes, it was purely a new type of sigil!

Improving is hard enough, how much more self-invented?

It's fine if it's just changing the soup but not the medicine. After all, some alchemists will use a one-to-one correspondence method to replace the strokes of the spell with patterns that they only know to enhance confidentiality, but this method will weaken the magic spell accordingly. the power of law.

And the lightning just now showed that this brand-new structure does not come at the cost of losing power, it is essentially a better way of expression!

It's just that Li Shi couldn't connect these square things with the fleeting arc.

"It's just a simple boost circuit."

Xia Fan smiled and didn't explain too much, because it's hard for anyone to understand the meaning of those lines and squares without starting from the beginning.

There is no doubt that this talisman, like the copper wire pendant, is only valid for him alone. But the meaning of the former is much more profound-it means that it is feasible to reduce the differences in thought through "norms".

Whether the line segment representing the passage is drawn long or short in the hands of different people, and the square representing the resistance value is drawn large or small, it will not affect the effect of another person's reading this talisman. Even after dozens or even hundreds of years, future generations will be able to see at a glance what parts have been added to the seal and what routes have been changed.

When this standard can be spread one day, and everyone improves the technique according to this idea, even if it is the talisman drawn by the alchemist of Fengguo, the alchemist of Qiguo can use it immediately.

More importantly, Xinxing may no longer be an obstacle to cross-disciplinary research on alchemy. A alchemist of the Sunda genus who is completely unable to perform the shock technique may also come up with highly inspiring suggestions for the shock technique after learning and mastering this set of rules.

In fact, such things as interdisciplinary achievements abound in the history of science, and the inspiration obtained in one research can often be applied to other projects, which is the meaning of the framework.

Of course, Xia Fan knew that this framework was still at the "symbolic" level, and besides the shock technique, he didn't have much clue about other techniques, especially the alchemy techniques such as Kanshu and Qianshu. After a framework template, who is sure that imitators will not follow in the future?

Even if this set of talisman expressions is eliminated after a long time, it also shows that people's cognition of magic has reached a new level. As a pioneer, he has no regrets about it.
