Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 235 Same Spell, Different Understanding

As we all know, Chi Yangzi, the master of the Great Qi State Teacher and the founder of "Seven Styles of Burning the Sky", is a very knowledgeable monk.

He majored in talisman formations, but he also knew swordsmanship, so the essence of the first form "Yingyan" in "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven" is actually a "sword formation"-thousand-handled flying swords flying towards the Enemies that look like fireflies flying in the night sky.

Of course, Gu Xu didn't stick to "Flying Sword".

In his hands, everything in the world can become the medium for him to display the "firefly flame" - the fallen leaves in autumn, the water in the Luo River, the dead branches and gravel in the forest can all be used by him.

It can be said that "everything can be a sword".

This is undoubtedly in line with Chiyangzi's "Tao" of rebelling against tradition and breaking rules.

The second form of "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven", "Bright Candle", combines the method of the talisman array with the secret method of stimulating the body's potential.

It requires monks to use themselves as materials to construct formations.

True Yuan is the energy of the formation.

Spiritual will is the eye of it.

Once the formation is successfully constructed, the flow speed of the true essence in the body will be greatly accelerated instantly, and a bright and hot flame will burst out.

The range of more than ten meters with the monk as the center will become a high-temperature field, enough to melt metal—if the opponent does not have sufficient defensive means, he will be roasted to death instantly.

But this is not the main function of "Bright Candle".

In essence, it is similar to the "rage" that Chu Fengge learned, and it is a method that can increase the power of true energy and enhance combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

Once Gu Xu turns on the "Bright Candle", all the fire attribute spells he casts will have about three times the original power, and this number will continue to increase as the monk's cultivation level grows.

Of course, "bright candles" are time-limited, and cannot exist at the same time as "light" - after all, their consumption of true essence is fast enough to be described as "terror".Even if Gu Xu's real energy is thicker and more condensed than that of ordinary third-level monks, it is impossible to support these two "big gas guzzlers" at the same time.

After a moment, he opened his eyes.

The fire was slowly extinguished, and the temperature in the room gradually recovered.

However, some of the wooden furniture in the "Qingxiang Pavilion" were slightly blackened.

…………

Gu Xu still remembered that when he had just escaped from the Qingzhou Mansion and came to the headquarters of the Exorcism Division in Luojing City, a Jiupin detective named Qu Jinglong took him to visit the yamen.

"This 'Qingxiang Pavilion' is a temporary residence prepared by the Exorcist Division for distinguished guests," Qu Jinglong once introduced, "In this room, all the furniture, as well as the walls, floors, and ceilings, are all Under the auspices of the head of the department, a special magic circle was arranged.

"Master Gu, you can cultivate freely here and practice various spells without worrying about interference from the outside world or damaging the furnishings in the house."

"Really?" Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, "You may not know that the few spells I have learned have a little bit of lethality. I'm afraid these magic circles may not be able to—"

"—the magic circles in this room have been tested repeatedly, and they can block the full blow of the sixth-level peak powerhouse," Qu Jinglong said in a confident and proud tone, patting his chest, as if all the magic circles It was designed by himself, "Master Gu, you just need to practice with confidence and boldly! If it really breaks, it can only show that the masters of the Exorcist Division are not good at learning, and it is definitely not your problem! "

"In case I really damage them, do I need to compensate for the damaged property?" Gu Xu asked seriously.

The various methods he has mastered, such as the spell of "Jinghong Brush", "Seven Ways of Burning Heaven", "Time and Light" power, etc., are of very high levels.

These spells can stop the full blow of the sixth-level monks, but they may not be able to stop his suppression at the level of the Dao law.

The furniture and furnishings in "Qingxiang Pavilion" seem to be of great value, and even the beams of the house are made of nanmu.If there is damage, I am afraid that his salary for several months or even several years may not be able to afford it.

"Of course not!" Qu Jinglong said without thinking.

Gu Xu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of this, he no longer has to compete with other officials for the retreat room.He only needs to stay in this quiet and spacious "Qingxiang Pavilion", and he can complete his daily practice, as well as learn and improve spells.

He once heard from Shangguan Jin that the retreat rooms in the headquarters of the Exorcist Division are divided into three levels-the first level can only be used by officials of the sixth rank and above, the second level can be used by all officials, and the third level can be used by all officials. Waiting is provided to petty officials who have no official rank.

At present, the retreat rooms of the second and third levels have all been occupied, and the queue has even reached more than two months.

…………

At this moment, Gu Xu looked at the slightly darkened furniture, smiled and shook his head.

The magic circle in "Qingxiang Pavilion" is indeed famous.

If it were an ordinary house, it would have been completely burned to ashes under the high temperature of the "bright candle".

Of course, these magic circles still have some tiny flaws under the effect of the "bright candle".

"Oh, it seems that the teachers in the yamen have to work hard." He thought silently.

Then, with a thought, he took out the small notebook and charcoal pencil that he had carried with him for a long time from "Xianyunju", and quickly recorded on it:
"Experiment time: the 24nd day of the first month of the [-]th year of Tianxing;

"Experimental content: To test the effect of the second formula 'Bright Candle' of "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven";
"Experimental results: 'Bright Candle' can increase the power of true energy in a short period of time, create a wide range of high temperatures, and attack the array in the 'Qingxiang Pavilion' that is said to be built by Luo Sishou and 'can withstand the full blow of the sixth-level monks'." caused minor damage;

"Experimental results:
"First, the true meaning of 'Burning Heaven Seven Styles' lies in breaking the rules, and the same is true for 'Bright Candle'. Other fire attribute spells may only cause superficial burning effects; but "Bright Candle" does Can disintegrate things from the inside out at the level of rules.

"Second, to use the 'Bright Candle', you need to let go of your scruples, let go of your fears, and use your unwavering spiritual will as a guide to ignite your true energy and potential.

"Remarks: I am becoming more and more curious about what kind of person Chi Yangzi, the founder of "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven", is, and I also want to know why he went mad and abandoned his cultivation in the eighth realm—it is because Feisheng is a A scam, or something else?"

…………

After completing the experimental records, Gu Xu continued to read the notes written in the booklet by the Grand Master of Qi and He Yiqun.

Now Gu Xu has a preliminary understanding of "Bright Candle".

He wants to compare his conclusions with other people's viewpoints, maybe there will be some new inspirations, and he can also find some details that he has overlooked.

Daqi State Teacher's views on "bright candles" are similar to "dedicate yourself to death and die", "candles dry when they turn into ashes and tears".He felt that in life, one should be diligent and dedicated to the country and the people, so that the Daqi Dynasty could develop in a better direction.

He Yiqun's view of "Bright Candle" is "Life is like a candle, which will eventually have an end".He believes that since everyone is mortal, they should not sink into darkness when they are alive, but should burn as much as they want and shine brightly.

"I didn't expect that different people's understanding of the same spell would be so different." After seeing these contents, Gu Xu couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart, "However, I think my understanding should be the closest to 'Fen'. Tianqishi's true meaning."

He is very glad that he did not read the opinions of these "authorities" before enlightenment.

Otherwise, his thinking is likely to be affected and restricted.

Of course, there is a deviation in the understanding of Da Qi Guoshi and He Yiqun, not because they lack understanding, but because they, as aboriginal residents of the Da Qi Dynasty, are almost impossible to have too many ideas of questioning authority and rebelling against the rules.

"Perhaps it is because of this that Mr. He has barely mastered the first two forms of "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven" so far!" Gu Xu guessed in his heart.

…………

Longmen Academy is located in the outskirts of Luojing City, close to the Luohe River, surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery.

Its layout is exquisite, and it is a group of large courtyard buildings, which are arranged in sequence along the central axis. They are all white walls and gray tiles, which are quite elegant and indifferent.

In different buildings, there are different teachings for the students to preach and learn.

In the cool breeze, you can hear the high-spirited talks of the teachers, the impassioned arguments of the students, the clang of swords and swords, and the cheers of victory after the competition...

All kinds of sounds mixed together, but it didn't seem noisy and harsh.

On the contrary, it is like the various parts of a symphony, fused together at a specific beat, forming the unique melody in the daily life of Longmen Academy.

At this moment, in an unremarkable side room of the academy, a man in his 40s and [-]s, wearing a blue-gray Taoist robe, was sitting next to the desk, flipping through an old book, and writing on a piece of paper with a brush. Drawing on white paper.

He has a fair face, a straight nose, and bushy eyebrows.

The appearance is pretty.

It's just that he looks a little haggard, as if he hasn't slept well for several days, with very clear dark circles under his eyes.

In addition, his sitting posture looked awkward-back arched like a crooked shrimp, his head was very close to the table, and his eyes were almost pressed to the books.

I saw him muttering in his mouth while drawing complex patterns on the paper:

"'Acacia Talisman' is a talisman that makes people feel in love. It needs to rely on the medium 'Acacia', that is, 'Red Bean' to work, combined with the 'Lovesickness Curse' - 'Essence of Taiyin, Qi of Taiyin , You receive a grain, and care about your heart.'

"'Lovesickness Talisman' and 'Backstep Talisman' have similar functions, so we must keep their differences firmly in mind to avoid confusion. The former can make people love themselves, while the latter can make the original lover change their minds.

"..."

"The 'Snake Talisman' is mainly used to protect oneself by enslaving snakes, that is, transforming into a snake to protect oneself.

"When using the 'Snake Talisman', you need to recite the 'Snake Mantra', which reads as follows: 'Snake Master, Snake Master, rolls and circles the ground, lightning flashes, easy to see and hide, enters the mountain and crosses, and stings when received."

"And in the process of drawing this kind of talisman, there are still very strict requirements-the original words in the book are 'Take a mouthful of Qi from the east, inhale it into the abdomen, flow it until one-third of an inch below the navel, and then rise to the mouth, Check the pen, the black is in the circle, each is ancestral spirit'. If there is a slight mistake, the spell will not take effect.

"..."

Since he didn't use real energy in the process of drawing the runes and chanting the spell, the runes he drew on the paper didn't have any Extraordinary attributes, they were purely his review notes.

At this moment, someone suddenly pushed the door open.

"Mo Li, how are you preparing recently?"

The visitor was a man in his 50s.

He was tall, with gray hair, a long beard, and a gorgeous brocade robe, with a majestic demeanor, and he looked like a dignitary of extraordinary status.

"It's okay." The man called "Mo Li" raised his head, "I've already reviewed the talismans I've mastered 49 times. I should be able to read them all by tonight."

His voice sounded listless and limp, as if he had been hollowed out.

The tall and majestic man in brocade robes is none other than the dean of Longmen Academy - Li Zheng.

Mo Li is his cousin, a fifth-level cultivator, and a well-known talisman cultivator.

He once studied in Longmen Academy, and started to practice Talisman 15 years ago. It is said that he has memorized all the Talisman books in Zangshuge by heart.

He once claimed that in this world, there was no talisman that he could not draw.

"In three days' time, it will be the day when you will compete with other candidates in the art of talisman seals," Dean Li continued with a serious face, "You should remember that I told you before, because Daqi Guoshi, Exorcist Division Luo Sishou and Princess Zhaoning are watching this matter, so it is impossible for me to provide you with any kind of help.

"If you want to become the new 'instructor' of Longmen Academy, you must completely rely on your own strength and defeat several of your opponents in a fair competition. How sure are you about this?"

Mo Li thought for a while, and stretched out five fingers, indicating that he was [-]% sure.

"Cousin, I have asked someone to help inquire about those opponents," Mo Li continued, "Although Shen Qiu of the Jinling Shen family has good talent and has been instructed by the national teacher, he often relies on his talent and rarely wants to Keep your feet on the ground and learn some basic talismans. In terms of hard power, he is no match for me.

"Gu Xu from the Exorcism Department is very talented and is in the limelight, but he is too young, it seems that he has only been practicing for a year. The art of talisman seals, after all, needs to accumulate experience through continuous mistakes. He How can it be possible to use what I have learned in one year to challenge our efforts for more than ten years?

"The only opponent I'm afraid of right now is casual cultivator Zhao Xinran."

Dean Li was silent for a moment, and then solemnly said: "I think you should be a little more cautious about that young man named Gu Xu. He was personally recommended by the national teacher, so he must have merit."

Mo Li responded with a soft voice: "Then I will prove that the national teacher will sometimes make mistakes."
