Hunting High School

Chapter 40: Sealing The Spirit With The Pen

Although drawing symbols is a very basic skill for most wizards, very few wizards are good at drawing symbols. In the wizarding world, masters who are good at making talismans have always been very rare.

Because of this, Zheng Qing's amazing performance in Fu Lu class spread quickly in the school.

Every student is full of curiosity about the rumored 'Heir of Kunlun' who can skillfully outline all the basic talismans.

On weekdays, due to politeness, everyone suppressed this curiosity in their hearts.

But today, Zheng Qing has managed to arouse everyone's curiosity.

On the desk in front of the bar counter, with Four Treasures of the Study fully prepared with pen and ink, and the ceremony of burning incense and praying, this posture clearly means that Zheng Qing is about to demonstrate his ability as a "Kunlun successor".

The onlookers were gearing up, looking even more nervous than Zheng Qing at the desk.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the rabbit hair purple pen in Zheng Qing's hand.

Even the bar owner, the gray-robed wandering mage, had his attention on Zheng Qing.

The colored lights and music in the bar have been quieted down under the orders of the boss.

The candles floating above the hall formed a ring shape and gathered above Zheng Qing's head; those originally light blue flames had turned white at some point, burning blazingly, casting a shadowless bright world on the floor.

Because the light sources were concentrated on the top of Zheng Qing's head, the back of the bar looked a bit dim, and only a row of flickering light green spots could be seen. Those are the glowing wings and tentacles of elves. These little guys sat quietly above the wine kitchen, their mouths closed, and they didn't make any noise.

Zheng Qing closed her eyes, feeling the oppressive silence, breathing gently, her shoulders slowly rising and falling with her breathing, but her elbows and wrists seemed to be cast iron, motionless.

The white light above his head fell on the top of his head.

Landed on his shoulders, elbows.

fell on his wrist.

Falls on ink-soaked nibs.

The ink seeped out along the gap and gathered into beads at the tip of the pen;

Zheng Qing remained motionless.

The ink beads got bigger and bigger, and finally broke free from the shackles of the rabbit's hair under the action of gravity, and fell freely to the yellow paper.

"Ah!" A few short exclamations of girls came from the crowd.

Zheng Qing still closed his eyes, but the pen in his hand seemed to be drawn by the drop of vermilion ink, and then fell to the paper.

The free drop of vermilion ink fell on the yellow paper, as if it wanted to smash the paper.

The purple pen followed, and the tip of the pen accurately touched the drop of ink before it fell onto the paper.

A meal, a pen,

One uniform, one rendering.

The nib of the pen is like dancing, pulling with the free ink, like a wild horse running wild on the yellow paper.

There were exclamations from the crowd of onlookers.

A few students standing in the front row even involuntarily made a posture of holding a pen, imitating Zheng Qing's movement of writing and moving the pen.

A complete book is completed in one stroke, and a good painting is produced in one go.

Between breaths, a complex and gorgeous talisman appeared in front of everyone.

With the pen fully drawn, Zheng Qing put the Zihao back on the Turtle Inkstone, letting it suck the ink from the inkstone pool again.

And he raised his left hand, stuffed the tip of his thumb into his mouth, bit and pulled hard, and then pressed his bloody finger on the drawn talisman paper to fork the talisman foot.

The onlookers were silent.

No one expected that Zheng Qing would use such a radical method of sealing spirits.

For wizards, there is a saying of "dilemma and disaster".

Dilemma, one is to outline the rune. Without the guidance of a famous teacher and without a solid foundation, it is easy to make mistakes when drawing a talisman; perhaps a certain stroke in the outline is off by four or five degrees, which will make this talisman express a completely different effect from the original version.

Another difficulty is pouring spirits. Gathering power before writing, drawing spirits when writing, and breathing back after closing the pen. Different schools of inheritance have different ways of instilling spirits, but all the methods of instilling spirits pay attention to the unity of body and mind and coordination of breathing. Many wizards have disordered breathing and restless mind when drawing characters, so it is easy to fail in instilling spirits.

After the dilemma, one talisman is 99% complete.

However, those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety.

In the end, 0.10% made many wizards feel ashamed.

This is Huafu's final catastrophe: Fengling.

Fengling, literally means the inspiration to seal this talisman, but it is actually the same.

After each talisman is completed, the inspiration will continue to be lost with the passage of time. If it is not sealed, perhaps in the blink of an eye, the inspiration infused on the talisman paper will disappear.

In the long practice, the wizards have explored different methods of sealing spirits.

The most common one is the 'Spirit Sealing Talisman'.

The sealing talisman is to add another cipher text to the foot of the completed talisman. This cipher text is like a shackle, which can lock the inspiration on the talisman paper. Different genres of ciphertext are written in different ways, and the effects are also very different. Some ciphertexts can lock brains for decades, and some ciphertexts will be destroyed by brains after a few hours.

The drawbacks of this approach don't stop there. The writing method of each ciphertext is extremely complicated. Sometimes it may take only one minute to outline a complete talisman, but it takes half an hour to write the ciphertext of this talisman! It is a great test for wizards to draw complex cipher texts on the narrow rune feet. If you are not careful, all previous efforts will be wasted.

In addition, there is a relatively rare way of sealing spirits, which is the "seal of sealing spirits".

The Spirit Seal is a Magical Item specially crafted for sealing inspirations. After the wizard has finished drawing the talisman, he only needs to hold the seal, use cinnabar inkpad, and cover it on the talisman paper, and he's done. This method has a very high success rate, but because of the high cost and rarity of Magical Items, only talisman masters have the capital to use the Spirit Seal.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources, and read aloud with many timbres, yeguoyuedu Android and Apple are all available. 】

In addition to the previous two widely spread methods of sealing spirits, there is another method of sealing spirits that is brutal, fast, and effective, but rarely used by people in the wizarding world-blood sealing.

As the name suggests, the blood seal is to seal the spirit with blood.

After the talisman is completed, the wizard who draws the talisman only needs to use a few drops of own blood on the foot of the talisman, and draw a few checkmarks to complete the spirit sealing.

This method of sealing the spirit is simple and efficient, and the effect of sealing the spirit is excellent.

Most of the blood seal talismans are valid for more than one year!

It's just that everything has pros and cons.

On the one hand, this method of sealing spirits is relatively barbaric, and it seems a bit out of place in the increasingly civilized modern wizarding world; on the other hand, the talisman paper produced in this way can easily reveal the secrets of wizards.

The Encyclopedia of the Wizarding World contains hundreds of examples of wizards accidentally dropping a few drops of blood, which were captured by their opponents and cast a curse, with disastrous results.

Today, if it is not for the talismans that they need to use urgently, very few wizards would use this painful and extremely risky method of sealing spirits.

In the wandering bar, the onlookers watched in silence as Zheng Qing bit his finger and sealed the spirit with blood.

No one expected him to use such drastic tactics.

Some onlookers who wanted to get a glimpse of the 'Kunlun ciphertext' were somewhat disappointed.

But more students showed admiration on their faces.

Not everyone has the courage to bite own finger.

Not any wizard has the guts to spill his own blood outside the laboratory.

Zheng Qing didn't know anything about the silent atmosphere around him.

He still closed his eyes, preparing for the next talisman.

The Qingxin Talisman that had been written was lightly tapped with his finger, and it was transported to Xiao Xiao who was not far away.

Xiao Xiao took the talisman paper, pinched the timing, and released it to the sleeping Li Meng.
