Strange mountains and rivers

A group of people started cleaning up and inspecting Longlinyuan.

Longlinyuan is a combination of about ten small basins and small basins.

There are shallow hills between small basins, and the area of ​​each small basin ranges from a few hundred acres to several thousand acres.

All that were destroyed and damaged left only the ruins of courtyards, halls, pavilions and pavilions, as well as ten or twenty places, which is enough to show the prosperity of Dongxuan Sect at that time.

It's just that the current Dongxuan Sect has long been wiped out, leaving only chicken feathers on the ground.

Chen Huaisheng's main focus was on cleaning up the ruins and some mansions that were not suitable for human habitation.

I don’t know exactly why Dongxuan Sect was destroyed back then, but I am worried that there will be some vicious beasts, monsters, and ghosts hiding in the entire Wolong Ridge, so the best way is to use magic to get rid of them.

Cleaning starts from the southwest side closest to the entrance of the valley.

Xu Muyang and Wang Yao both cast dust-cleansing spells continuously.

This is the simplest spell to remove evil spirits and ghosts. Although it may not kill the evil ghosts, it can expel these evil spirits from the grass, trees and courtyards and even from the ground.

Chen Huaisheng and others could only use spiritual talismans.

Fortunately, before we came here, everyone knew that Wolong Ridge was the original mountain gate of the ancient cave Xuanzong. There were many old building complexes. If the sect wanted to take root quickly and stand firm, it must make do with these original buildings, otherwise it would be time-consuming to rebuild them all. It takes a lot of energy, so I purchased a large number of evil-repelling and evil-repelling talismans in Bianjing City, and now it's time to put them to use.

Chen Huaisheng and Cai Jinyang were responsible for clearing the westernmost courtyard.

This courtyard is very large, but many houses have collapsed in the middle, intermittently.

Weathered rocks and mounds of earth, decayed wooden beams and rafters, and lush weeds and shrubs have all almost washed away the scenery of this large courtyard.

Cai Jinyang carefully looked at the threshold at the entrance, and even leaned down to observe it, and then twisted the threshold with his fingers, as if to check the material.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother Jinyang?" Chen Huaisheng asked curiously.

"The Dongxuan Sect's previous status in Hebei should be equivalent to the current status of Tianyun Sect or Taihua Tao in our country of Zhao." Cai Jinyang smacked his lips and said.

"Oh? How can you see that?" Chen Huaisheng guessed that the other party had gained something from observation.

"This threshold is made of cloud dan wood, which is considered to be the best spiritual wood used to make forbidden spiritual power. Not to mention the other spiritual wood of this threshold alone, it costs hundreds of spiritual stones, and this does not include the cost of carving and processing. At least we Chonghua sect haven’t had this luxury yet.”

Cai Jinyang replied firmly: "In addition, there are rune carvings on the threshold, and there are hollow settings in some locations for placing special spiritual crystals. This means that such a restriction is even a small magic circle. If it is really equipped Complete, when activated, even an ordinary foundation building may not be able to be destroyed in a short period of time. This house is either the residence of a big shot of Dongxuan Sect, or it is a quiet room specially used for retreat, so special forbidden spells are used To defend and fight against external attacks.”

"Oh, do you recognize the runes on this threshold?" Chen Huaisheng didn't expect that Cai Jinyang actually knew about things like spell restrictions.

"I know a little bit, but I have read some scriptures before, so I roughly remember that the restriction on the threshold should still be a wooden restriction with both offense and defense. However, the spiritual crystal in the hollow has long been gone, and the runes are also a bit blurry, but If it can be repaired and tidied up, it can still be used."

Hearing what Cai Zhengyang said, Chen Huaisheng was slightly moved.

There is no one in the Chonghua Sect who specializes in teaching talismans and forbidden spells, because the Chonghua Sect does not pay much attention to this aspect. Some Taoist masters only have a brief understanding of it, and it is somewhat reluctant to teach it.

I didn't expect that Cai Jinyang would understand this kind of spell book by himself.

It seems that Cai Jinyang is still a little sensitive to the forbidden rune curses, or rather has a talent for it.

In Chen Huaisheng's view, Cai Jinyang, who is already in his forties, is still at the fourth level of Qi refining. From a cultivation perspective alone, his prospects are limited, and it will even be difficult to break through the foundation building in the future.

But if you can find a path that suits your practice, you may be able to find another path.

"Senior Brother Jinyang, how is your recent practice progress?"

Cai Jinyang was startled, "Huai Sheng, you know when I broke through and advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining. It wasn't long ago. This year has been going well. But I estimate that if I want to reach the fifth level of Qi Refining, I still have to wait a long time." It will take two years.”

"Then, has Senior Brother Jinyang considered trying the practice of forbidden runes? I feel that you seem to have some talent for forbidden spells. In addition to accumulating spiritual power, in fact, the forbidden spells are also important to the sect. A good direction.”

Cai Jinyang understood what Chen Huaisheng meant.

Cultivation generally refers to two levels.

The first is cultivation in the original realm. This is the foundation, and everyone takes this as their foundation.

The other level is either cultivating instruments (swords), spells, or rune forbidden spells.

The two levels will promote and influence each other. The advancement of weapon cultivation, spells and spells cultivation will also promote the improvement of the original realm, and the improvement of the original realm will also make the weapon cultivation, spells and spells practice achieve greater results. Use your skills to expand your magic space.

Needless to say, sword cultivation and spells are the mainstream of monks' attack and defense system.

Rune forbidden spells belong to the niche.

Of course, many people study concurrently, but they all have a focus.

For example, Chen Huaisheng has almost completely given up on forbidden runes and spells, and majors in spells while taking into account swordsmanship. But in the long run, he will major in swordsmanship and also take care of spells.

But the niche is only relative to swordsmanship and spells. In fact, there are many practitioners who also practice talismans and forbidden spells.

However, there are thresholds for the forbidden spells of talismans. The practice of forbidden spells generally requires above the middle stage of Qi refining.

There are also distinctions between talismans. Making drawing talismans generally requires a high level of Qi refining. If you want to be successful, you must at least build a foundation or above. At Cai Jinyang's current level, he can only practice forbidden spells and use talismans.

He cannot yet make a drawing talisman.

"Huai Sheng, do you think I should give up sword practice and magic and focus on forbidden spells and talismans?"

This matter is of great importance and will determine the path of his future cultivation. Cai Zhengyang cannot make a sudden decision.

But he also knew that Chen Huaisheng was doing it for his own good, and Chen Huaisheng's cultivation talent was becoming more and more prominent, which made Cai Jinyang attach great importance to the other party's judgment.

"Senior Brother Jinyang, I won't beat around the bush between you and me. In fact, you can test whether you are sensitive to the Talisman Forbidden Curse."

Chen Huaisheng will not make decisions for the other party, it is up to him to make his own decisions.

"It is very difficult for ordinary people to understand and remember the forbidden spells of talismans. They may look at a rune for three days and recite it a hundred times, but they may not be able to remember it. After sleeping, they will forget everything again, and even if If you can remember it after reciting it, but the spiritual energy induction in your body is not strong, then you have no talent in this area."

Chen Huaisheng knows these truths and Cai Jinyang should understand them. He just needs someone to help him check, or to encourage him and strengthen his confidence.

"But if there is an impression in the mind, and there is a reaction as soon as you recite it, it means you can work hard in this area. Once you reach a high level of Qi refining, you can try to make drawing talismans. Combined with reciting, the power may not be It is inferior to sword cultivation and spells, and if you are talented in runes, it often means that you have good spiritual roots and strong understanding, which makes it easier to achieve breakthroughs in ascension..."

Cai Jinyang was a little moved.

In fact, he knew that he was somewhat sensitive to spell patterns.

The simplest reason is that when he was still at the second level of Qi Refining, he accidentally came into contact with the rune scriptures with other brothers. He could memorize a rune a few times and remember it in his heart, and he would not forget it for a long time. , and many other brothers cannot remember it at all. They can't even distinguish the characters and patterns clearly, let alone memorize them.

However, in the Chonghua sect, sword cultivation comes first, followed by spells, and the forbidden spells and talismans have always been regarded as the last category and not taken seriously. Most of the time, they are regarded as an incidental practice. As long as you can use craftsmanship The talismans made by the church are enough. Basically, no one will specialize in practicing the forbidden spells of talismans.

The production of talisman by the Chonghua sect is also mainly based on making talismans and almost does not involve talismans.

There is a difference between talisman and urn. Talisman emphasizes material, while urn attaches importance to characters.

In short, the strength of the talisman mainly depends on the material and processing methods used by the talisman master to make the talisman, while the quality of the urn mainly depends on the understanding and application of the rune characters and the use of spiritual power when the talisman master draws them. combine.

Chen Huaisheng sincerely hopes that the brothers and sisters around him can become stronger as soon as possible.

Lu Wenshen's death touched him greatly, far more than the deaths of Zhen Yunpei, Fang Baoyu and others during the battle in Tianzhai.

Although he knew Zhen Yunpei and Fang Baoyu at the beginning, they had no contact with each other, and the two died in the battle not in front of him, but after seeing him. Therefore, although they were quite shocked, they were not as intuitive and harmonious as Lu Wenshen's death this time. touch.

Although Lu Wenshen and he did not have a deep friendship, the Taoists had been together for so long, and this time they came to Hebei together, but they were eaten alive by a monster before they even reached the river bank. This was very difficult for Chen Huaisheng. It was too exciting.

Moreover, from Langling to Hebei, so many Chonghua disciples, especially those he knew well, would lose one if they died. This feeling particularly gave him a sense of crisis.

Therefore, he eagerly hoped that his friends, acquaintances, and brothers would quickly become stronger and would not disappear one by one during the sect's survival.

But he knew that his idea was unrealistic.

The Chonghua faction will definitely encounter various dangers in the process of entering Hebei and establishing a foothold in Hebei. Situations like Lu Wenshen will continue to happen until the Chonghua faction truly grows and develops in Hebei and ordinary forces no longer dare to provoke easily. , there may be some improvement.

In the early stage, this danger may break out at any time and turn into killing and death.
