Chapter 306: Symbols

"Why does the talisman paper you spill have such an effect?" Tang Tian asked curiously.

Hearing Tang Tian's question, old man Xu smiled proudly. His smile was the kind of aloofness. From this smile, he couldn't see the previous appearance of lying on the ground and about to be slaughtered.

"This is where the mysteries of metaphysics lie," said old man Xu first, and then organized his words to continue: "As we all know, this world contains too many mysteries waiting for people to discover, only by grasping his trajectory, Then it is not incomprehensible even for ordinary people to do some unbelievable things.”

"Perhaps you have heard that many, many myths and legends were born in ancient history. Among them, the ancient demon gods, Qi practitioners, etc., all have such great abilities. It's just that with the development of modern science, those things are beyond people's imagination. The things that happened gradually faded away, and although they faded away, the birth never ceased.”

"The ancestors of my family can be traced back to eighteen generations ago. They were all well-known warlocks. They possessed incredible magical abilities, such as observing the sky and measuring the earth, calculating the future, seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, and finding dragons and acupoints. It's beyond people's imagination...".

Speaking of this, the old man Xu took a completely detached attitude, his appearance was like a god who is proud of all living beings, but then he crossed his face and said leisurely: "Hey..., no matter what my ancestors were like Yes, but it has declined in modern times, especially in the turmoil of modern society. Ten percent of the skills passed down from my ancestors have been lost. Although I studied metaphysics with my father since I was young, what I can learn is only superficial. The talisman paper you saw was drawn with a specific method, but many things have been lost, and the effect can be ignored. If I learn all the skills passed down by the master, I don’t know how those little bastards died. How can I still get them jumping in front of me"?

After hearing Old Man Xu's words, Tang Tian pondered. It is undeniable that even the end of the world cannot deny some facts, that is, there are some existences that ordinary people cannot understand at any time, and Old Man Xu may be one of them.

But Tang Tian wondered, what is there in the last days? There are countless strange professional skills. As old man Xu said, there are many more. Tang Tian knew that in the City of Hope, the talisman paper drawn by a Taoist priest of level 30 can sell for sky-high prices, but the premise is that these Taoist priests are There are levels, and the abilities and skills within the scope of the profession are used.

Intuitive. Tang Tian thought that old man Xu might be different from those people, so he asked the question in his heart: "I have seen talisman papers, and they are sold everywhere in the City of Hope. Both the effect and ability are better than those drawn by you." It's too high, but I just feel that the talisman paper you drew is different, can you answer the question in my heart?"

Old man Xu smiled slightly and said: "It's nothing, I have also touched the talisman papers drawn by those professionals. To be honest, it's really amazing. A piece of talisman paper can make people fly, which is simply unbelievable. Speaking of restoring It is also possible to use the talismans in ancient mythology,

But after my observation, these talisman papers are completely limited to one frame, without the slightest sense of innovation and autonomy. Perhaps after observing, you will find that the talisman papers drawn by these professionals and the talisman papers drawn by ten people are exactly the same, without the slightest difference. They are completely confined in a frame and cannot jump out at all. , It can also be understood that I and they are all walking along a specific route. The road is set by others, not by yourself.”

Hearing the old man Xu's words, Tang Tian suddenly became enlightened, and at the same time was shocked. It's just a word that awakens the dreamer, yes, there are thousands of occupations in this world, but which skills are created by oneself?

This whole world is completely a set game world! Is this really a game set by the so-called Demon God?

Shaking his head, Tang Tian put aside those distant thoughts and continued to ask: "Then old man Xu, tell me what is the difference between your talisman paper and theirs?"

"There's a big difference," old man Xu said with certainty, and continued after a pause: "The talisman paper I drew is completely drawn according to my own ideas, and the effect of each piece is different, and it can also make the talisman The interaction between papers achieves an incredible effect, rather than a single effect. If there are enough materials for me to experiment, if there are enough classics for me to study, if there are enough abilities for me to squander, maybe I can describe It is not impossible to use a peerless formation to kill thousands of people in one fell swoop," said old man Xu proudly.

But then he shook his head and sighed: "Hey, these are just my own imagination. The rules of this world have undergone fundamental changes, and everything has become uncertain."

Tang Tian also felt that what he said was unrealistic, but he had a faint expectation in his heart, so he asked, "Hehe, old man Xu, take the talisman paper you spilled earlier as an example, how do you think we can increase the number of his talismans?" What about the power?"

Old man Xu thought for a while and said: "The most important thing is the material. Maybe you have seen it before. The talisman paper I drew is just the most common paper, not even the most basic yellow paper for talismans. Moreover, the paint used for talismans is all Black ink, what effect can you expect it to have? If you give me the fur, bones and blood of some special animals, maybe use these materials to draw symbols, the effect will be very different.”

Hearing old man Xu's words, Tang Tian was speechless for a while. The talisman paper drawn with the things he said actually has effects. If he is provided with enough materials, then I don't know what he can come up with. .

As soon as he thought about it, Tang Tian did it when he thought of it. He took out a mutant wolf skin and a bottle of wolf blood from the storage ring, put them in front of old man Xu and said, "Old man Xu, can you draw amulets on these two things?" ?

Seeing what Tang Tian took out, old man Xu glanced at it, and then, as if a pervert had seen a peerless beauty, he took it into his hand and looked at it, talking to himself, not knowing what he said, Immediately, his cloudy eyes burst into a bright divine light, and he said excitedly: "Yes, it can be used to draw symbols. There is mysterious power flowing in this wolf skin, and there is also special energy in wolf blood, which can be matched with special spells. Techniques and so on, it is completely possible to make a piece of talisman paper with special effects, just wait, I will try it out."

Old man Xu just did what he said, rummaged around, found a small knife, cut the wolf skin into a standard talisman paper shape, then dipped his hands in wolf blood, and started to draw the talisman calmly.

His technique is very special, and Tang Tian can't understand it at all. From Tang Tian's point of view, he is completely like drawing a ghostly talisman, but every stroke and every stroke has a natural taste in it, and Tang Tian uses real Observing with the eye, I found that when old man Xu drew every stroke, a mysterious power was revealed in the texture.

Especially in conjunction with the incomprehensible formula in Old Man Xu's mouth, Tang Tian found that the ordinary wolf blood in his eyes, and the brush drawn by it could only see mysterious power flowing, all of this was amazing.

Tang Tian looked at old man Xu, and then at the slowly forming wolf skin talisman paper on the table. He felt unbelievable. This old man Xu is completely an ordinary person. How could he come up with such a thing? unscientific...

The old man Xu painted more and more energetically. After the last stroke was completed, he seemed to be exhausted. He let out a long breath, held the talisman paper in his hand and smirked, and said to himself: "Successful, finally It was successful. I didn’t expect to be able to draw talismans with such materials. It’s simply unbelievable. This era is good, it’s a great era, and such materials are everywhere. As long as there are enough materials, I can draw the talisman in my heart. All that was learned was shown.”

Talking to himself, the old man Xu looked at Tang Tian and said, "I'm going to test the effect of this talisman now, you don't mind, do you?"

Tang Tian gave a casual look, but didn't speak.

Old man Xu just said hello, picked up the wolf skin talisman and shook his wrist, and suddenly something incredible happened. It was originally just a piece of talisman paper cut out of ordinary wolf skin and wolf blood, but there was no external force When it was active, it burned up immediately, and without a trace of smoke, the talisman paper was completely burned within a second, turning into a blue light ball.

Aww...

A deep wolf howl sounded, and the light group dissipated immediately, forming a group of three-meter-long phantoms of green wolves, which immediately possessed Old Man Xu.

The phantom possessed old man Xu, and suddenly old man Xu changed in Tang Tian's eyes. He seemed to be no longer a dying old man, but a wolf.

Old man Xu experienced the feeling carefully, and then he moved his hand and slapped the table. Immediately, a solid wooden table was shattered by him.

"This..." Tang Tian stood up abruptly. He couldn't believe that such destructive power was caused by old man Xu. He was just a dying old man a moment ago, and he didn't feel a pity if he lost it. Leather and wolf blood let him display such strength? It's almost like a ten-level human being.

The movement here attracted the attention of many people, but Tang Tian glanced coldly, and many people subconsciously turned their heads away and did not dare to look at this side again.

When the owner of the hotel wanted to come over, Tang Tian threw a bag of magic coins from a distance and sent him away.

On old man Xu, the wolf-like effect lasted for a full minute before disappearing, and old man Xu returned to the dying old man again.

"Unbelievable, unbelievable, I didn't expect it to be really successful, hehe, my lord, what I drew before was just a pure magic talisman, I didn't expect that God didn't invite me, but let a wolf get on me, so much more to come Specialized research is the only way, maybe the rules of this world have completely changed.”

Speaking of this, old man Xu looked at Tang Tian and begged: "My lord, how about a discussion? You provide me with materials, and I will draw symbols for you. I don't want anything. I will give you everything I draw. Just prove what you have learned one by one, and there are no other requirements.”

Tang Tian was overjoyed, that's exactly what I meant... (to be continued...)
