Main text Chapter 56: Magical Talisman
As soon as Qiu Yan took possession of the Fu Zhuan, he felt a strange wave from it, and pieces of information emerged from it, which he captured and understood.
"Huh? There are actually three kinds of spells in this talisman! Photo, lead, and lock!"
Realizing this, Qiu Yan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, as if something was difficult to handle.
"The spirit-catcher can forcibly arrest the souls of others; the spirit-attractor sets up a special formation to attract the living souls, ghosts, and remnant souls wandering around; as for the spirit-locker, it builds an illusion inside the talisman. Trap the soul inside.”
After understanding this, Qiu Yan changed his mind and recalled all the things that had happened since his contact with Tang Yi, and subconsciously flicked his fingers.
"These three effects occur naturally. They can be called magical powers. They are the same as the effects of the painting! In this way, although the picture is damaged, as long as the talisman and seal are there, it can exert the same power. I just don't know. Whether the restrictions that may have been set by the Shangling Dao are also inherited, it is unpredictable. "
Thinking like this, Qiu Yan looked at the flood-light talisman carefully for a few more times, and then extended his consciousness, using his perception and divine power to penetrate deeply into the talisman, wandering through it, trying to find out if there were any hidden dangers inside.
This talisman seal was burned and condensed by the flames of divine power. It is difficult to completely destroy it with divine power alone. This means that with Qiu Yan's current ability, there is no way to break the talisman seal.
He was exploring himself when suddenly!
"Huh? What's going on? My consciousness and divine power were absorbed by this talisman!"
At the moment of thinking, the talisman suddenly glowed brightly, releasing a cyan light, and then broke free from Qiu Yan's hand and spun in the air.
At the same time, Qiu Yan felt that a blood-like connection had been established between himself and the talisman. With a thought, all the secrets in the talisman were revealed before his eyes, with no trace hidden. Restricted, only subtle divine power flows through it.
"This is..." Sensing the changes in the talisman, Qiu Yan's thoughts fluctuated in his heart, and he quickly understood the cause and effect, "I didn't expect that my divine power could have such a wonderful effect. The flames it transformed could wash away the burned objects. Purifying and reorganizing is like setting fire to cooking, turning raw food into cooked food, removing the junk and keeping the essence, and turning the rot into magic. This is an unexpected blessing. "
Once this connection was established, Qiu Yan instantly understood the secrets in the talisman. He knew that this talisman was not the core of the gods, but recorded and condensed the essence of the soul-locking diagram. It contained three kinds of spells. Move the curse.
"The "Outline of Curses" says that spells use soul power and thoughts to form incantations to communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The soul power can also be recorded through cinnabar and yellow paper to form a talisman. But the talisman in front of me, It can be driven without soul power, it is similar to instinct, and is similar to the power of the gods. This is almost a magical power. In this case, it is called a 'supernatural power seal'!"
Although magical powers are famous for gods, they are not limited and practitioners also have magical powers.
In fact, the so-called magical power is to turn spells or other means into instincts, like breathing, and can be used without deliberate movements or rituals. Such abilities can be called magical powers.
Of course, although this magical talisman can exert three abilities and communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth without consuming Qiu Yan's soul power, once it is used excessively, it will still be slowly consumed. If it exceeds the limit, The talisman seal will disintegrate and disappear, so it cannot be used unlimitedly. After each use, it takes time to cultivate it with divine power and soul power.
"Even so, the value of this talisman is very great. It is equivalent to storing the soul power in daily life and using it when facing the enemy. Moreover, it does not take time to cast, and it can be done in an instant. It can attack the enemy unprepared and unexpectedly, and even more The valuable thing is that among these three spells, two are not mentioned in the outline. If you study the talisman patterns carefully in the future, you should be able to learn them if you can get a few more magical talismans..."
Thinking of this, Qiu Yan couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
"This talisman seal is hard to come by. It was formed by burning the picture. According to the meaning of the person trapped in the painting, this painting is a magic weapon, not an ordinary thing. If you want to get another talisman seal, Where can I find this magical weapon to burn? However, that person is full of lies, so I can’t believe it. The theory of the magical weapon will be explored in the future.”
After thinking about it, he spread his right hand, and the magical talisman that was spinning in the air fell straight down and landed in his palm. With a flash of light, the talisman attached to his flesh and blood and turned into a dark seal character in his palm.
Looking at the handwriting on the palm of his hand, Qiu Yan grinned: "As I expected, since this magical talisman seal was obtained by burning a picture, it should be like a picture. Then Tang Yi could use it without leaving his body. The painting can be used freely, and now it has turned into a talisman and seal. I can still use it with my physical body. I don’t have to wait until the soul comes out of the body at night... huh? "
Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden noise outside the courtyard.
Only now did Qiu Yan notice the color of the sky.
After a busy night, the east has turned white and the sky is dim.
Qiu Yan stood up, went straight to the courtyard, opened the door, and saw several men in ragged clothes. They each held broken bowls and sat in front of the door, knocking.
The sound of "ding-ding-ding-ding-ding" spread far away, attracting the neighbors to poke their heads out. But when they saw these men, the faces of the neighbors immediately changed. They glared at Qiu Yan fiercely, showing dissatisfaction, and then they all Go back inside.
"It's true that good people are bullied by others. The Qiu family father and son are honest and kind to others. But when something goes wrong, instead of having no one to help, they will be angered."
Shaking his head, Qiu Yan stepped towards the men.
Although these people were dressed in rags, they were tall and strong, with ruddy complexions. They were different from the hungry people Qiu Yan saw yesterday. They were in disguise.
"You are quite quick. You came here early in the morning to make trouble. Do you want to make me restless and then beg him to sell the yard?"
As soon as Qiu Yan came to the side of them, they immediately stopped knocking on the bowls, stood up, puffed out their chests, looked ferocious, and surrounded Qiu Yan with a sneer.
If it were an ordinary scholar, this would be enough to scare him to cold hands and feet, but Qiu Yan did not change his face, raised his right hand, collapsed his foot arch, and stepped on the sole of his foot!
He rushed out like an arrow from a bow, swung his right arm, and slapped his right hand back and forth, hitting several people. It seemed that there was no strength at all, but the people he slapped fell to the ground one after another without a sound.
After everyone fell, Qiu Yan stopped and looked at the seal characters on the palm of his right hand: "I will help my uncle's family buy a yard later, and then I have other things to do, so I don't have time to deal with Chen Qichang's affairs, but it is still necessary to give him a proper warning, so that he won't be unscrupulous."
As he said this, he swung his right hand suddenly, as fast as lightning, his body swayed like a strong grass in the wind, and his palms slapped the people who fell to the ground one after another.
After being slapped by him, the men opened their eyes again, but the fierceness on their faces disappeared, replaced by fear and panic, and they stood up trembling, some even trembling with their hands and feet, and their faces were as pale as paper. Several strong men became frightened birds.
Seeing them like this, Qiu Yan understood: "After locking the soul, the method of constructing an illusion is really effective."
Just in a short breath or two, the souls of several people in front of him were captured by Qiu Yan one after another, put into the magic talisman, and experienced an illusion in it, the hell oil pot, the knife mountain and the sea of fire, the ghosts and monsters, all appeared like a passing show.
Seeing that several people were completely scared, Qiu Yan shook his head and said: "Go back and tell Chen Qichang to give up his thoughts as soon as possible." After saying this, he turned back to the yard.
Outside the yard, several men's faces were still full of fear, and they were all shaking like chaff sieves, then looked at each other for a few times and ran away.
This movement alarmed the neighbors again. They secretly peeked out and saw several people running away. They couldn't help but feel suspicious. Looking at the Qiu family's closed courtyard door, they looked suspicious.
………………
At the same time, a conflict was happening at the gate of Ningcheng City.
More than a dozen soldiers fell to the ground and rolled, crying out in pain. Among them, two tall and strong men stood upright. They looked weird and ugly, looking around indifferently.
"Brother, since we've fought, don't keep a low profile, go directly to the city god."
"Okay!"
After the words fell, the two of them walked away quickly, as fast as the wind, and disappeared at the corner of the city in a blink of an eye.
