Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Nine
According to Shen Shi’s past knowledge, the five-element magic technique originated from a period of time before and after the era of the war between humans and monsters. The true situation is naturally unverifiable now, and the five-element magic technique has long been used in the human cultivation world. The birth and the rise are also diverse. Some say it was created by the Six Sages of the Human Race who were amazing and talented in the past; it is also said that an unknown person accidentally discovered a Taoism after the war, and it rose from it; others It is more straightforward to say that the history of the five-element technique is actually far longer than people think. It has existed in the world since the ancient times and has been secretly spread among the human races. It was only carried forward after the rise of the human race.
In short, all kinds of arguments are contradictory and controversial, and the origin of the five-element technique has gradually become a mystery amidst such controversies. However, there is one thing that everyone recognizes. It is the five-element spell, which is unique to the human race. All other races, including the monster race that ruled the entire Hongmeng world for a while, are not. Know the five elements magic.
And at the bottom of the book sea where Shen Shi was located, these countless ancient books and scrolls belonged to the Heavenly Demon King's court ten thousand years ago. In other words, they were almost all scrolls left by the monster clan.
It is obviously a rare and strange thing to see the words of five elements magic in the ancient books of the Yaozu. In addition, Shen Shi is now in a realm and is no different from other monks on the surface, but in fact it is Because of the Yin and Yang curse, almost 70% of his strength is in the five element spell, so he is particularly interested in the five element spell.
Seeing the words of the "Five Elements Spells and Laws" at this glance, he suddenly couldn't look away. After reading it in his hand, he quickly became immersed in the text of the book.
When Shen Shi was a child, he heard some legends and stories. The people in the stories often get some benefits in strange and inexplicable ways. At the moment, maybe he can pick up a shocking secret book at hand, which records the earth-shattering magical techniques. After practicing, he will naturally It is invincible in the world. Such a story once gave him many beautiful memories and fantasies when he was young, but now he grows older and grows up. He has seen the hardships and vicissitudes of the world, and his original dream has disappeared unknowingly.
This "Five Elements Spells Miscellaneous Theory" from the hand of the Yaozu is ancient and ancient, but it has nothing to do with the secrets of the gods. It does not describe any magical cultivation methods throughout, but it is a kind of bystander. The visual angle records the appearance characteristics of some human races using the five-element magic, and evaluates the judgments. In some places, it is also used to speculate the strengths and shortcomings. It is very different from the books about the five-element magic that Shen Shi has read in the past.
In other words, this book is actually the last year of the Heavenly Demon King's Court. The Human Race has already risen, and the war between humans and monsters is in full swing. Some people from the Demon Race have recorded inferences about the five-element spells, depending on his words. Originally, it seemed that he wanted to use this to find the weaknesses of some five-element spells and better attack the human race.
But nowadays, in the vicissitudes of life, the human race is prospering and the demon race is declining, and even those who wrote the book back then will surely perish. Shen Shi took this ancient book and looked through it page by page, but gradually he felt an unexpected broadening of his horizons.
It turned out that during the war between humans and monsters 10,000 years ago, there seemed to be many differences between the five-element spells and the present. According to the record of the Wuming clan of the demon race, the human race at that time used the five-element spells, which was often extremely powerful and formed with the weak flesh of the human race. A sharp contrast. In terms of strength alone, the monster race is undoubtedly better than the human race, but the five-element spells released by the human race after the beginning of the practice can actually cause great threats and damage to the extremely powerful body of the monster race. In the long history of the war between humans and monsters , This has always been a headache for Yaozu.
In addition, the author of the Wuming clan of the Yaozu is obviously a person with a broad vision and rich knowledge. In this ancient book, he records no less than dozens of five element spells and their characteristics when they are cast. After reading the past, I quickly discovered that most of them were actually quite unfamiliar. You must know that he has been very interested in the five-element magic since he was a child. I have read a lot of such books, even if he has not practiced many high-level magic methods. , But also know some general conditions. However, he can only barely judge the general attributes of these ancient spells from the appearance in the written records. In addition, there are nine recorded spells in the book. , Shen Shi felt a bit of an impression, it seemed to be very consistent with some of the current five element spells.
These spells are both high-level and low-level, and there are all five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Shenshi corresponds to the past one by one. Then it is discovered that these nine five-element spells are all the most famous among the many spells of the same level. The wide range of magic techniques seems to have been tempered for thousands of years, and passed down to the present through thousands of years of tempering. It is almost the most perfect magic technique form.
Shen Shi compared with the spells he had practiced, and found that he had actually practiced three of them. Two of them were first-order spells, namely fireball and water archery, and the other was two. The sky lightning strike in the step spell.
For some reason, seeing that three of the magic techniques he had practiced were listed above, and that he had withstood the test of a long time, Shen Shi was still happy for a while, but soon he noticed an anomaly. He was a cultivator. After passing the yin and yang curse of the demon clan and the sky demon royal clan, this unexpectedly made the five-element spells unique. But why judging from the recorded text in this book, the five-element spells used by almost all the monks of the human race were so powerful for the monsters?
This doubt is really weird. Shen Shi fell into confusion and contemplation for a while, but did not notice that a figure came to him. He first looked at him, and then glanced at the book "Five Elements Spells" in his hand. ", then he said:
"Young man, what do you think?"
Shen Shi suddenly woke up and took a step back. He found that the old man standing beside him was the old man with white beard and goatee he had just seen. He looked kind and smiled, but he looked very gentle, Shen Shisong With a sigh of relief, he smiled: "Just now I was addicted to reading and didn't notice what was happening around me. Please forgive me."
The goatee gave an "Oh", but he glanced at him with interest and smiled: "You call me senior?"
Shen Shi was taken aback, and said, "Uh, yeah, what's wrong?"
The old man laughed, waved his hand and didn't care. He said, "It's okay." He glanced at the ancient book in his hand, and smiled, "How can you read this book? As far as I know, the sect of Lingxiaozong Below, most of the direct disciples in Jinhongshan are practicing Taoism and supernatural powers wholeheartedly, and few people pay attention to the Five Elements technique."
Shen Shi shrugged and smiled and said: "It is true, but I liked these when I was a kid, so I just saw it by chance, and when I saw Lie Xinxi, I picked it up and looked at it. But a pity..."
He shook his head as he spoke, with a look of regret on his face. The old goatee was strange, and he smiled and asked, "What a pity?"
Shen Shi flipped the book backwards casually, and at the same time said: "Unfortunately, this book does not have a kind of magic technique, otherwise, you can learn a five-element technique for nothing."
The goatee old man was taken aback, then laughed, and said with a smile: "You kid wants to be beautiful. Is this taking advantage of the monster race ten thousand years ago?"
Shen Shi was also amused. When he turned his head, he turned to the last page of the ancient book in his hand. Suddenly he said "Huh" as if he had found something. He suddenly lowered his head and held down the flipped page, his eyes brightened. , But looked at the last page of the ancient book.
The old white-haired goatee was also taken aback by his actions. He thought he didn’t notice anything unusual when he read the book just now, but they were all speculative lies that the monster race didn’t know. The practice of magic techniques is useless. For a while, curiosity also got hooked, and he moved his head a little, and looked at the last page of the scroll with Shen Shi.
On the old and somewhat yellowed pages, there is not much text on the last page, but a few crooked, strange and complicated patterns are painted.
I saw Shen Shi staring at these patterns, with a look of surprise on his face, and said, "Runes?"
The old man with goatee beside him was surprised again, showing a bit of surprise, but he turned his eyes to Shen Shi and said strangely: "You can recognize it?"
But he paused immediately, as if thinking of something, shook his head, thinking that he was also confused. It is not uncommon for a monk who has practiced the five-element magic to touch the talisman. It is not uncommon to see similar runes. Difficult, difficult is difficult in Fulu, how complicated and difficult it is to understand the ten types of runes with the five elements of Yin and Yang, and then the various runes are matched with each other to form a complex rune array, which is then drawn on the rune paper, which is subtle and difficult. , How can it be understood by idlers.
He laughed secretly here, shrugged and said nothing, thinking about whether he should turn around and walk away, he suddenly saw Shen Shi frowning beside him, his eyes were a little confused, and his fingers were light. Qing moved on the weird rune pattern on that page, but after a while, he said: "Strange, it seems that this rune is not quite right."
"Huh?" This time, the old man with goatee's beard's voice rose slightly, watching Shen Shi's eyes gleaming, and after a while, he asked, "What's wrong?"
At the moment, Shen Shi's attention was on the page. In addition, the old man's attitude was gentle and not malicious, so he didn't particularly care about anything, and said casually:
"The appearance of this rune seems to be wrong in some places. This is the rune array of'Water Archery', but the nine strokes below the third rune are all skewed by three points; and this one is'Sinking Soil Shu' talisman, the thirteenth and twenty-second strokes of the second rune are also drawn wrong; oh, and the last'fireball' talisman is even more outrageous, obviously it should be three sun fires All of them are painted as Yinhuo Talisman, which is totally wrong..."
He shook his head as he talked, and he seemed to be somewhat helpless, thinking that the people of the demon race are indeed the people of the demon race, and they don't know the five element magic at all, and the rune rune array drawn is so bad.
It's just that he sighed, but he didn't realize that the goatee old man standing beside him had been staring at him, his eyes gradually brightened, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Hey, kid." After a while, the old man suddenly opened his mouth and called to Shen Shi.
Shen Shi turned his head to look at him, and said, "What's wrong, Senior?"
The goatee old man pressed his chin and beard lightly, then he smiled and said:
"What's your name?"
※※※
The top of Jinhong Mountain, the Great Hall of Clouds.
In the vast hall, under the layers of curtains, there is a thick and heavy atmosphere, because this is the residence of the real masters of the Lingxiao Sect in the past, and it is also the place where many important matters of the Lingxiao Sect are determined. In countless years, I don't know how many great real people who moved the world have been here to dominate the situation, or to live leisurely.
At this moment, five clean futons were placed on the smooth floor of the main hall, and on them were four people of different shapes, all of them with extraordinary bearing and immortals.
The person in the middle is the real person of Huaiyuan, the current head of Ling Xiaozong. Under his left hand sits an old man with a tall and square face. He is hopeless and powerful. It is Elder Sun Mingyang. Now he is in charge of the hall. The prestige in the sect is very high, and it can be said that he is a big person under one person and more than ten thousand people. On the right hand side of the Huaiyuan real person, there is a beautiful woman with beautiful hair and beautiful appearance, and a slightly light facial expression. , Is Elder Yun Niyun who presides over the Dantang;
Next to Elder Yunni is an elderly man in Taoist robe holding a golden silk jade whisk. He has a mediocre face and the same identity as the other three present. He is one of the five most prestigious elders of the Lingxiao Sect. He is now in charge of the spirit. The elder Jin Zhanjin of the animal hall.
However, at this time, the four big real people with the highest prestige status in the Lingxiao Sect, their eyes turned slightly, coincidentally falling on the head of Elder Sun Mingyang, the only empty futon in the hall.
The expressions of the other three remained unchanged, except that Elder Sun Mingyang looked a little ugly. After turning his gaze slightly at Master Huaiyuan, he suddenly gave a cold snort, with a hint of impatience, and a trace of anger passed across his face. Suddenly he said angrily:
"Lao Pu, an old man, has only entered the position of elder, and he dumped our pigeons during the first meeting. How decent he is!"
Speaking of the back, his voice gradually improved. Although he was not roaring and cursing loudly, the sound of wind and thunder was faintly rolling in this hall. The terrifying strength of the Great Reality of the Yuan Dan realm was evident from this.
However, none of the people present here are simple figures. Elder Jin Zhan's eyes are slightly closed and he sits still, as if he has not heard anything. Elder Yun Ni glanced at Huaiyuan indifferently, and was also silent. After a while, Master Huaiyuan still looked at Elder Sun Mingyang, a pair of faint light flashing in the eyes that implied the reflection of stars, he smiled calmly and kindly, and said:
"It's still early, so it's okay to wait."
Sun Mingyang nodded slightly, but it seemed that he still had some dissatisfaction. He glanced coldly at the empty futon beside him, and then stopped speaking.
