The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 97: The God of Good Luck in the Fighting Period (4K)

Lu Chen's curiosity about the ancient witch language began to emerge at this moment, but he also knew the risks of learning the ancient witch language, and asked: "Brother, learning the ancient witch language will encounter disasters, but why do you all know the ancient witch language?"

Upon hearing this, Huizhi smiled and said, "You have only been in the palace for a short time and have not yet systematically studied the Taoist text system. You have only studied the current Taoist texts, but have never studied the Taoist texts of the ancient times."

Lu Chen: "Ancient Dao text?"

"Yes. In fact, there is some connection between ancient witch writing and ancient Taoist writing. You have never learned ancient Taoist writing, so you don't know it. If you learn ancient Taoist writing, you will have some understanding of ancient witch writing."

As he spoke, Huizhi took out a few more ancient books from the bookshelf and handed them to Lu Chen: "Here, these are records about ancient Taoist texts. You can read them when you have nothing to do... Well, these are ancient Taoist texts. There is no mystery of Taoism. Learning them is useless, but they can add some breadth. If you come across some ancient Taoist books, you can also use them to read through."

Lu Chen flipped open one of the books, and sure enough, there were some tadpole-like characters on it, which had many similarities with the ancient witch script, but they did not have the unique charm of the ancient witch script.

"Legend has it that the birth of ancient Taoist writing was due to the decline of ancient witch writing. Due to the influence of heavenly punishment, practitioners had no writing. Early Taoist predecessors studied ancient Taoist writing based on some ancient witch writing for transitional purposes. Later, after the birth of true Taoist writing, this kind of writing that was linked to ancient witch writing but could not contain the rhyme of Taoism was eliminated."

Huizhi briefly introduced the origin of ancient Taoist texts.

Lu Chen nodded, then took the ancient witch text from Huizhi and compared it. There were indeed some similarities between some of the problems in the two.

The many differences between ancient Taoist script and ancient witch script are actually that some twisted strokes are made more horizontal and vertical, some dots are changed into strokes, or the complicated ancient witch script is simplified, just like the difference between traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters.

It seems to have been simplified for the sake of writing.

If one can learn the ancient Taoist texts, it is normal to be able to read the ancient witch texts.

Even if you come across a few unfamiliar words, you can still guess most of them by guessing.

And on this book, there are some annotations on the ancient witch language, which are the corresponding meanings of the current text.

It should be left over from when Zhenkun was studying. From the looks of Zhenkun and the others, it is obvious that they are from a self-taught background and do not know the ancient Taoist script. Naturally, they need to learn the ancient witch script in a different way.

"really."

Lu Chen returned the book of ancient witchcraft to Huizhi.

The ancient witch language will have relatively little impact on practitioners unless they specifically study and understand it.

This is also the reason why the senior brothers dared to copy a copy and give it to Qiao Yan.

Generally speaking, the disasters in ancient witchcraft are also divided into levels. Cognition is one level, learning is one level, and applying it to practice is another level.

There is a certain degree of cognition. At most, ordinary people will have nightmares when they sleep at night, which affects the quality of sleep and then affects their spirit. Recognizing words and learning their meanings will have a certain cognitive impact on practitioners who have just entered the level of practice.

However, for cultivators above the Purple Mansion Realm who have developed divine consciousness, the impact of these two things is minimal.

Only after it is applied in cultivation, the impact of the disasters of the ancient witch script will become greater and greater. As the level of cultivation improves, disasters will follow.

Just like 'Zhen Kun', except for his head, his entire body is covered with ancient witchcraft characters. Forcibly improving one's own strength will definitely not end well.

This is pure suicide.

If one only understands its meaning, it actually does not have much impact on ordinary practitioners.

Therefore, as long as the divine consciousness is born, the disasters of ordinary ancient witchcraft can be suppressed.

This is also the reason why the senior brothers dared to leave the book of ancient witch texts in the practice hall, and why senior brother Huizhi even dared to copy the ancient witch texts.

It was also because of this that when Lu Chen was studying the ancient witch writing, Huizhi was willing to let him take a look.

Although Lu Chen has not yet built the bridge between heaven and earth and opened the Niwan Purple Palace, he has already reminded the spirit to give birth to divine thoughts. According to common sense, it can suppress the cognitive influence of ancient witch scripts.

"You can't read it often. The ancient witch script is very strange. Although it has no harm to the monks with spiritual thoughts, they only need to meditate quietly to eliminate the influence. But you haven't opened the Purple Mansion yet. It's better for you to study the ancient Taoist script. After you build the bridge between heaven and earth, you can talk about the ancient witch script." Huizhi explained again.

Lu Chen nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Huizhi began to copy the ancient witch texts, while Lu Chen studied the ancient Taoist texts.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Three days later, the brothers finally returned, and naturally, Zhenan and Zhenruo also returned safely.

"Senior sister, senior brother."

Lu Chen walked up to them and looked them up and down. After a good look, he heaved a sigh of relief. They were clean and tidy, with rosy faces, and it was obvious that they had never been tortured.

"The senior brothers have checked and we are fine." Seeing that although Lu Chen looked calm, he actually had a worried look in his eyes, Zhenruo smiled and said softly.

Zhen'an also laughed and said, "That's right! Hahaha, you don't know that the big white bull is actually quite nice to people. He never made things difficult for us when we were in his cave, especially when Master Jinchan came to our door. He kept trying to reason with us, and when he couldn't win the argument, he got so angry that he screamed when he returned to the cave, but he never let anyone abuse us... Well, the food and accommodation are pretty poor, damp and dark, and the food is just grass roots and tree bark and so on."

As he said this, he curled his lips in slight disgust.

Lu Chen looked at him strangely: "Brother, you have been kidnapped."

We are not going on an outing and staying in a B&B!

Okay, in your words, the Bull Demon Cave Mansion is almost rated one star by you, do you want to file a complaint and report the hygiene issues? ?
"Snapped!"

Sure enough, as soon as Zhenan finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of his head.

Huizhi snorted coldly: "That is a demon cave, where do you think it is?"

"I thought... I thought it was also a demon cave. Hehe." Zhenan covered the back of his head and grinned.

Seeing this unreliable look, Lu Chen decided to ask his gentle and intellectual senior sister.

"Senior Sister, is that bull demon really as Senior Brother Zhenan said?"

"Yes."

Zhenan smiled and said, "Although Dabai is a demon, his cultivation method is grand, peaceful and upright. His cultivation should be related to the Taoist system. His family background should not be low, so he has never made any mistakes in treating us. The brothers took Lao Huang there, and after resolving the misunderstanding, they even held a banquet to apologize to the two of us."

"Hehe, there are good things in this meal. Although they don't taste good, they are all magical roots and herbs from the mountains. My magic power has been deepened. It's a pity that you didn't go this time." Zhen'an said from the side, but he felt a little bit sorry that Lu Chen didn't go.

Lu Chen was speechless. You have been kidnapped for a few days, so you have been thinking about eating all the time, right?

Senior Brother Da Niao also smiled and said, "Da Bainiu was worried about Lao Huang, so he followed along. He is now at Qiao Yan's place and will probably stay there for a few days. You brothers can also go and take a look. If you leave the mountain gate in the future, it will be considered a network of contacts."

This is said to everyone.

The big white bull was indeed to his taste. He was a cautious person, but also had a heroic and magnanimous demeanor. He also had the inheritance of a great demon. He would surely be a big figure in the future. If he could make friends with one or two of them now, it would be beneficial for his brothers to travel around the world in the future.

As he said, it's connections!
The fellow disciples immediately became interested.

This is the demon king!

Everyone's cultivation is not high, and they often stay in the mountain gate on weekdays, and they can't even see a little demon. Now they have the opportunity to see the Jindan Demon King, how can they not be curious?
But the sun is setting today, so it is not convenient to go.

After finishing the evening class, everyone went back to their respective places, still discussing going to see the Jindan Demon King Dabai tomorrow. Lu Chen and Zhen Ruo Zhen An would go along.

Zhenan was walking and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable for some reason. After looking at the two people walking side by side next to him, he suddenly realized.

He then quickened his pace, and after walking a few dozen steps, he turned around and looked. As expected, the two people who were more than ten meters behind him ignored him.

He couldn't help but twitch his lips, spat secretly, turned around and walked back quickly.

He has no hobby of being a guiding light!
Behind, Lu Chen was walking, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

"Junior Brother Ruchen." A crisp call woke Lu Chen up.

"Senior Sister." Lu Chen came back to his senses.

Zhen Ruo said: "I'm sorry to have made you worried this time."

She looked a little apologetic. If she hadn't rashly gone down the mountain, her fellow brothers wouldn't have worked so hard for so long.

"It's okay. Senior Sister and Senior Brother Zhen'an came down the mountain just for me."

Lu Chen shook his head: "By the way, Senior Sister, have you run out of paper figures?"

As he spoke, he took out another stack of paper figures: "These paper figures have been improved by me. The paper is made from the bark of a hundred-year-old locust tree. They are three times better than the previous paper figures."

Zhenruo's eyes sparkled in the moonlight, and he declined, "No need, Junior Brother. I won't come down the mountain unless there is something else. It's not easy for Junior Brother to make paper figures."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "These paper figures are easy to make. In my spare time, I can make a lot of them by practicing. They just can't exert too much combat power. But they can be used for self-protection on weekdays."

In this case, Zhenruo did not refuse. After taking Lu Chen's paper figure, Zhenruo also took out an ancient stone seal from her arms.

"This is a stone seal left by my ancestors. It is said to be the seal of a good friend of my ancestor during the period of Zhuilu. The records left by my ancestors say that his good friend was a brilliant god who was in charge of good luck. So the stone seal he left behind also represents good luck."

The period of competition?

Could it be a battle for supremacy?

This is quite old! A real antique!

Lu Chen couldn't help but gasp: "This is inappropriate, Senior Sister."

"I have accepted the paper figurine you gave me, but you don't even want the stone print?"

Zhen Ruo chuckled and said, "Besides, this seal is also destined to be with you, and your surname is also Lu. Besides, it's just a stone seal."

Seeing this, Lu Chen no longer refused. He looked at the seal with a somewhat curious look on his face.

By the way... did seals exist during the Three Emperors period?

This seal is square and although it is carved from stone, it is unknown what kind of stone it is. It is much stronger than steel.

Lu Chen identified the font engraved on the seal and vaguely recognized a font similar to the ancient Taoist text. In the past few days, he has also learned the ancient Taoist text. "Lu Qing's seal? It really is the same surname."

Lu Chen smiled and put away the stone seal.

Zhenruo then chatted with Lu Chen again and told him what happened after the bull demon captured them.

"The two people suddenly disappeared, and Dabai didn't react. He just heard someone say that the mission failed, and then the two people disappeared." Zhenruo briefly explained to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the captured 'Chi Shui' died suddenly, and before his death he said 'not enough points'.

There is a penalty mechanism in their place. If the mission fails, there will be punishment. If the resurrection points are not enough, mission failure is equivalent to death.

"The mission failed, which proves that they have left the Journey to the West world..."

Lu Chen thought so, but he did not let his guard down.

The two chatted as they walked, and soon they arrived at the quiet room and then separated.

Lu Chen returned to his room, and before he could meditate and practice Qi, Zhen An walked in.

"Ruchen, I heard that you have learned the art of paper-cutting to create adults?" Zhen'an was a little hesitant.

Lu Chen nodded: "Yes, Senior Brother, what's the matter? Senior Brother also wants to learn?"

"I'll forget it."

Zhenan shook his head: "I have just started practicing Qi, and I cannot compare with your cultivation level. It is better for me to practice Qi honestly during the Qi training stage, and not practice the Dao protection spells, but..."

He opened his mouth to speak, but his words always stuttered.

Lu Chen suddenly realized and said with a smile: "I just happen to have some paper figures that I made when I was practicing. I made these from the bark of ten-year-old locust trees. Brother, you can use them to protect yourself."

As he spoke, he pulled out a stack of paper figures from his bosom and handed them to Zhen'an: "However, there is no divine thought on them. I just retained some magic power and an illusion. If the time exceeds three months, you will need to use your magic power to nurture them again. Otherwise, they will really become paper figures."

"no problem!"

Zhenan couldn't let go of the paper mannequin and then said goodbye and left.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the room, he saw fellow brothers from the Zhen generation gathered together to chat. Zhen An's eyes rolled, he chuckled twice, then pulled out a paper man, input his magic power into it, and the paper man instantly transformed into the figure of a fellow brother from the Hui generation.

"Hey, Brother Huiri?"

When Zhen Yue and others saw the paper man, they hurriedly bowed.

The paper man waved his hands dully. Zhen Yue and the others were puzzled as to why Senior Brother Hui Ri was so cold.

But the next second, Senior Brother Huiri suddenly turned into a paper man. It was Zhen'an's first time to use a paper man, and he had not yet studied it thoroughly. For a moment, his magic power turned into silk threads that were not smooth enough to control, and the psychedelic magic seeds automatically became ineffective without delicate control.

Zhen Yue and his companions were horrified. Zhen An, seeing that something was wrong, quickly jumped out from behind the pillar to explain the reason.

"Paper cutting is the art of becoming an adult." Everyone suddenly realized it, with envy in their eyes.

They also wanted this kind of paper figure, but their relationship with Lu Chen was just average, not as good as the relationship between Zhenan and Lu Chen.

Moreover, everyone knows that Lu Chen is a genius, and his current cultivation level is the best among all disciples under the second-tier disciples.

Although he is nominally everyone's junior brother, he has always been with those brilliant senior brothers. He is on a completely different level from them.

But no one dared to ask Lu Chen for the paper figure.

However, they didn't dare to ask Lu Chen for it, but they dared to ask Zhen An.

Seeing this, Zhen'an was in a dilemma whether to give it or not. He felt a little annoyed that he had let his vanity get the better of him and now he was in such a dilemma.

It happened that Zhen Ruo went out at this time, and after seeing the paper man, he asked curiously: "Zhen An, you have a paper man too?"

The paper man was holding a paper blade, and its shape was exactly the same as the paper man Lu Chen had given him, except for a slight difference in color.

Zhen An immediately perked up when he heard that. He raised his head and chest, and said with full energy: "Yes, Senior Sister, Junior Brother Ruchen took the initiative to give it to me for self-defense."

The word 'active' adds some emphasis.

Well, I wasn't lying. He didn't ask Lu Chen for it, but Lu Chen 'took the initiative' to give it to him!

"Really? Then why is it different from my paper figurine?"

Zhen Ruo hesitated: "Is your paper figurine also made of century-old locust tree bark?"

"Hundred-year-old locust tree bark..." Zhen'an's expression froze on his face instantly.

Isn't it the bark of a ten-year-old locust tree?
Ahhhh…Ptck!
