I Live Forever With My Proficiency

Chapter 360 Criteria for finding Taoist companions

After Xiyue left, Chen Ping walked behind the door of Cave Mansion and looked outside. It was already late at night, and the whole village was completely silent. Even the occasional crying children could not be heard.

It is summer, and the Canglan grassland villages without the protection of the Law Manifestation will also experience the changes of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and autumn will be in two months.

Harvest season.

But there was no harvest atmosphere at all in the entire village.

Chen Ping looked at the starry sky.

Unknowingly, it has been four years since I came here. It was the Foundation Building before I came here, and now it’s the Gold Core.

But I still don’t know when I can go back.

Why.

When can I hold my soft wife in my arms and taste the wonderful life?

There is nothing here.

"Fellow Daoist Chen hasn't rested so late?" A monk walked out of Mingheyuan Cave Mansion. This man was the Gold Core monk who worked with Chen Ping to burn the wasteland during the day.

Chen Ping chatted with him on the way here. The monk was called Feng Li, and there was also a Foundation Building Taoist monk. The two had lived together in another village for many years.

But they felt that the resources outside the village were too depleted, so the two took this opportunity to come here together.

Chen Ping never thought that he lived next door:

"Fellow Daoist Feng lives in this Cave Mansion permanently?"

"Yes." Feng Li smiled:

"When I first arrived, I didn't want to go and develop the Cave Mansion myself. It's the same everywhere. I originally wanted to visit the neighbors, but it was already very late when I moved in, so I didn't bother to bother. I didn't want to rest, so I came out to get some fresh air. I never thought it was Chen Fellow. Daoist lives next door, so you and I are destined to be together."

After speaking, he raised a teapot and said:

"How about drinking tea and chatting together? You're not disturbing Fellow Daoist Chen, are you?"

I have to say that this man still knows how to enjoy life.

Chen Ping hasn't had any spiritual tea since he's been here for so long.

Of course, this is mainly because he has no interest in it.

In contrast, he prefers drinking plain water.

"Where is it? Fellow Daoist Feng is still not resting at this late hour? Why don't you go in and sit with fellow Taoists after moving to your new home?" Chen Ping saw that there was still a faint light in the Cave Mansion where he saw him.

His Taoist companion was probably not asleep either.

Seeing that Chen Ping agreed, Feng Li carried the teapot and walked towards Chen Ping's yard. After walking to Chen Ping's yard, he lowered his voice and said with a smile:

"What a Taoist companion to accompany. To be honest, Fellow Daoist Chen said that my Taoist companion is completely obedient to me. She will never dare to say anything behind my words."

"Not to mention just coming out to sit for a while, even if I don't go home at night, she doesn't dare to say a word."

There was a sense of pride in his expression.

Chen Ping believes this.

One is Gold Core and the other is Foundation Building.

Family status is judged by superiority and inferiority.

Chen Ping asked Feng Li to sit down at the table and chairs in the yard. He took out the kettle from the Cave Mansion and drank his own boiled water on the excuse of not drinking spiritual tea.

"..."

"Is the village where Fellow Daoist was originally located similar to this one?" Chen Ping asked after a while of tea.

After coming to Canglan Grassland, he didn't go to many places.

Most of the information comes from asking around.

"It's pretty much the same. There's an ancient pagoda in the middle, and it's also protected. But it's nothing. I've been in there before, and the ancient pagoda is unremarkable. Some of the words on it are somewhat useful. They seem to be the secret laws of the ancient pagoda. I heard that's true. Activating the ancient underground palace tower also played a role." Feng Li said.

It seems that the situation in every village is the same.

Chen Ping took the opportunity to ask more about the situation of the stone tower in the formation.

I learned that the writing on the ancient pagoda is an ancient prohibition.

It is one of the many measures to ensure that the ancient pagoda has the ability to drive away the Demonic Beast, and it is also one of the assists for the ancient pagoda guardians to explore the secret method of opening the ancient pagoda in the underground palace.

Of course, Feng Li found this out in his original village. Reliability unknown.

...In this way, the guardians of the ancient pagoda still have some experience in deciphering the meaning of such characters. No wonder Jiang Youwei asked everyone in the underground palace to memorize those runes first.

This is good news.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, do you still remember those words? I am a talisman master myself, but I am quite interested in these weird words." Chen Ping took the opportunity to ask.

Unlike when he first came here four years ago, Chen Ping no longer wants to wait for others to slowly find a solution.

As long as the risks are controllable, you have to think about this slowly.

It would be best to go back as soon as possible.

"I don't remember." Feng Li shook his head, remembered something, and said:

“Didn’t this village publish those words?”

"Has Fellow Feng Daoist's original village been made public?" Chen Ping hesitated.

"Yes, in order to explore the meaning of those words, the guardian of the ancient pagoda carved those words on the stone tablets in the village and encouraged all monks to interpret them. Anyone who can provide valid information will be given incentives."

"If Fellow Daoist Chen wants to find out, ask one or two monks from that village, and you might be able to find out." Feng Li was a little confused about the village's non-disclosure of information.

Chen Ping nodded and asked Feng Li which Fellow Daoist came from the same village as him.

‘We have to find an opportunity to get those words and see if they are valuable. ’

After Feng Li finished the introduction, he said with emotion:

"In fact, brainstorming is the most effective way. After obtaining the underground palace runes this time, I can propose to the guardians of the ancient tower to make them public and work together to realize some truth faster."

Chen Ping also sighed:

"Who says it's not? I hope it can be interpreted earlier, and I hope the result is good. Don't let it happen again a hundred years later."

"."

While the two were chatting, a deliberate cough came from Feng Li's Cave Mansion.

With this clear cough, Feng Li, who had been lazily leaning on his chair, suddenly sat upright.

Realizing that his reaction was too big, he smiled awkwardly.

"Haha, what did I think it was? It turned out to be that girl. Don't pay attention to her. I have the final say in the house. ... Of course, I have to go back. The main reason is that it is too late to disturb Chen Fellow Daoist for too long." Feng Li lowered his voice and pretended to be calm.

You can pull it down.

Then you should speak louder.

Why are you lowering your voice?

Chen Ping smiled and did not expose him.

Feng Li turned sideways and looked at the Cave Mansion behind Chen Ping. He lowered his voice again and said with a smile:

"That Fellow Daoist Chen is not your sister, right?"

Chen Ping hesitated, he has good eyesight.

This is all visible.

Before Chen Ping could answer, Feng Li chuckled:

"Hey, bro, I'm here, I'll tell you at a glance. Did you do it?"

"What? Judging from the behavior between the two of you, I haven't slept together in the same bed before? We have been here for so many years, and we are still in the same room with you, but I still don't let you sleep?"

Chen Ping's breath was stagnant.

He looked back at Xiyue's quiet room.

Please keep your voice down.

Foundation Building and Gold Core have good ears, and the women in the two Cave Mansion may be listening.

Feng Li was completely unaware of Chen Ping's expression.

As someone who has experienced this, I decisively introduced my experience in finding a Taoist companion:

"It's okay not to sleep. Based on my experience, when looking for a Taoist partner, you have to find someone who is gentle and well-behaved, someone whose heart softens when your husband calls you. Hehe, that's wonderful."

"I think your god-sister has a cold face and is not an easy monk to deal with. Moreover, she has been in the same room with you for so many years but has not let you sleep. She looks like a temperamental person and is very aloof. This kind of woman is the most undesirable. Suitable as a Taoist companion."

"Brother me."

Before Feng Li finished speaking, a vigorous aura suddenly shook from Xiyue's quiet room, and an empty chair in the yard was instantly turned into powder.

Feng Li immediately stopped talking.

He looked back, stood up quickly and said:

"That, that's serious. It's getting late, so I won't disturb Fellow Daoist Chen to rest. We'll chat the next day."

After saying that, without waiting for Chen Ping's reply, he stood up with the teapot and hurried back to his Cave Mansion.

After Feng Li left, Chen Ping stood up and sorted out the things that were staggered by Xi Yue.

Why.

Really.

Fellow Daoist Feng is right.

Why are you so angry?

Sure enough, after leaving the Cave Mansion, it would be better to stay in a quiet room.

Returning to the quiet room, Chen Ping injected a little spiritual power into the sparkling stone on the table.

Make it brighter.

Anyway, I didn't feel sleepy, so I simply continued to work at my desk and copied out the underground palace runes again.

It deepens the impression.

Because of an experience, I copied all the runes in more than two hours this time.

Chen Ping picked up one and looked at it.

If you look at one rune alone, it is a talisman.

‘What would happen if it were drawn in the way of a talisman? ’

Chen Ping thought that when he saw these runes in the underground palace, they were indeed glowing with light, very similar to the activated talismans.

Thinking of this, he immediately took out the talisman skin.

After calming down, he went to his desk again.

The two previous attempts to copy runes only used a rune pen as a medium to record these runes without any input into the Entering Spirit.

Just like writing.

This time, it's a symbol.

It's a pity that there is no corresponding talisman book, and he doesn't know what the meaning of drawing talismans is? Where is the idea? How about curse words? What are the detailed requirements?

All he can do is rely on his skillful drawing skills and rich insights to draw the Entering Spirit on the basis of 'writing'.

After finishing a painting, he waited for a moment.

Unfortunately, the entire rune did not react at all, and was no different from what was written, and the spiritual power was not retained in the lines.

The drawn runes are dead.

‘Come again and try it a few more times to see if it works. ’

Chen Ping was not discouraged.

As a talisman master, he knows that even if he has a register, it is not easy to draw talismans step by step.

What's more, there are no teaching materials at all nowadays, so you have to rely on copying and understanding on your own.

Second time, third time, fourth time.

The fiftieth time...

He kept painting like this, the sky was bright, then dark, and then bright again.

Unfortunately, one day and two nights passed, and no clue was found at all.

It stands to reason that I have a deep understanding of the Rank Two talisman. After drawing it for so long, I don’t have any insights at all.

But in fact, there is just no understanding.

‘It seems like it’s not a simple symbol. ’

‘Maybe there’s another mystery in it. ’

After dawn, Chen Ping, who was originally going to continue exploring the runes, received a visitor.

——Golden Monk.

Chen Ping received him in the Cave Mansion reception room. After some greetings, Brother Jin said:

"Fellow Chen Daoist was in the underground palace that day, right? Can I ask Fellow Daoist Chen whether he recorded those runes?"

"I remembered some, what's wrong?" Chen Ping didn't know why he suddenly asked this.

"That's good." Monk Jin smiled and said:

"Those runes are intricate, numerous, and detailed. It is easy to make mistakes just by relying on the memories of a few people. Can Fellow Daoist Chen copy down the memorized runes? In this way, working together can also reduce some errors."

Seeing that Chen Ping didn't speak, Brother Jin continued to introduce.

This time, all the monks who have been to the center of the underground palace will be questioned one by one, especially talisman masters like Chen Ping. Then the runes copied by everyone were gathered together to check for omissions and fill in the gaps so that some errors in the memory of the ancient tower guardian could be corrected.

It's a joint effort for everyone's benefit.

"I just copied down some runes last night, but not many. Jin Fellow Daoist will do it later."

Chen Ping did not hide the facts. This matter was for the common benefit of everyone, and it was also related to his own plan to get out of the Canglan Grassland. It should be a collective effort.

But he didn't provide all the runes.

Instead, he provided thirty-five runes counting from back to front, saying that he and Xiyue recorded some of them alone.

As for the previous ones, most monks probably remember them from front to back, so there should be no problem.

"May I ask Fellow Daoist Jin if there is a strategy for interpreting these runes?" Chen Ping took the opportunity to ask.

It is the best time to inquire about information when you are offering benefits to others.

Fellow Jin Daoist took the talisman from Chen Ping, thanked him, and said:

"It doesn't hurt to talk to Fellow Daoist Chen about this in advance. This time is different from the past. The leader doesn't want to wait another hundred years. After a while, Japan will follow the example of another village and make the runes public and brainstorm."

"Does Fellow Daoist Chen know what prohibition is?"

Prohibition?

That's so common.

The clothing array on the robe can be called a restriction, and the pattern array on the Law Weapon can also be called a restriction...

But this is obviously not what Brother Jin wants to ask.

Chen Ping said quickly:

"Appreciate further details."

Monk Jin nodded: "These runes are actually a kind of restriction. We call it: confinement technique..."

Confinement, as the name suggests, is a spell to imprison other objects.

The confinement technique is a talisman and a spell.

To be precise, it is a secret technique that combines talismans and spells.

First, practice this secret technique, and then understand the rhyme of the talisman in the secret technique, and then understand the essence of talisman drawing.

Then, the runes are used as carriers to draw the talismans, and then they are connected together using secret techniques to open up the connection between the runes and form a unique confinement effect.

Therefore, the confinement technique is different from the restrictions of formations, weapon refining, and talisman painting, and forms a system of its own.

Obviously, these runes are the confinement techniques that imprison the severed arm.

"In this case, as long as the runes are ready, wouldn't it be possible to start practicing the secret technique, then feed the runes back, and finally successfully unlock the prison?" Chen Ping interjected after hearing the key point.

"Successfully released from the imprisonment?" Monk Jin laughed dumbly:

"Not to mention whether you can successfully acquire this confinement technique, even if you successfully acquire it, you have only learned the confinement technique, which can be used to imprison other objects."

"But it's not that easy to untie other people's chains."

"When deploying the confinement technique, you can incorporate the thoughts of the imprisoned person, and add some unpredictable things into it at will, such as Sword Intent, or some mysterious and mysterious third secret techniques."

"This requires me to understand this confinement technique and understand the potential way to unlock it. This is not that simple."

"The wizened old man claimed that it was the prison from the Demon World to the human world. If it is true, but the prison is really so easy to break, then how can it be so?"

Chen Ping understood the meaning.

The reason why the confinement spell is powerful is that during the confinement process, the caster can add some intricate side plots at will.

If you can't solve the subplot, you can't pass the level either.

The problem is that these branches are still very complicated and can be all kinds of unexpected things.

Unfortunately, there is no corresponding secret technique left, which is equivalent to no trace.

The only good thing is that since these branch lines have been laid out, there will inevitably be some clues left behind. If you can understand a little bit of clues when practicing the confinement technique, you may be able to find a chance.

"Just now, Fellow Daoist Jin said, 'Let's not talk about it.' Does that mean that the confinement technique has the same mystery as the runes?" Chen Ping asked again.

"It is unknown whether the mystery exists, but what is known is that it is also very difficult..." Monk Jin explained without hesitation.

The confinement spell is usually a secret spell unique to the caster. It is not a common spell. It is unique, and even its arrangement has the caster's own understanding.

Therefore, there is no experience in practicing the confinement technique.

In other words, the experience accumulated by the guardians of the ancient tower in the past hundred years will not play a big role in interpreting the confinement technique this time.

Have to start all over again.

Again.

The technique of imprisonment is mixed with runes, but there is no manual for drawing runes. It is necessary to understand the essence during the process of practicing the technique of imprisonment, and then apply it to the drawing of runes.

In other words, the practice of confinement is not easy.

Drawing runes is even more difficult.

And finally combining the two is doubly ‘difficult’.

"Fellow Chen Daoist, that's all I have to say. Anyway, it's all information that will be made public in the future. If Fellow Chen Daoist encounters any problems in the future, you and I can continue to discuss it." Brother Jin stood up and left.

Chen Ping quickly stood up and thanked:

"Thank you Jin Fellow Daoist for clarifying my doubts. I benefited a lot from your words."

"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Chen."

Chen Ping saw Brother Jin out and saw that he went to Cave Mansion next door and knocked on the door again, so he turned around and went back home.
