Grand Master of Martial Arts

Chapter 13

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Elder Lu almost choked to death.

I am a dignified elder of the outer sect of the Qianlong Sect, one of the best puppet masters in Qianzhou, and need a disciple who has not officially joined the sect to teach?

Elder Lu just wanted to reprimand him, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't utter a single word.

Lin Xuan made a puppet of Qi Gathering Realm, but he couldn't do it, his skills are not as good as others, how can he be reprimanded?

Elder Lu didn't believe in evil: "I'll try again!"

He picked up a new puppet heart and started carving again.

This time, he carved the seal with more care, and the characters he carved were exactly the same as Lin Xuan's handwriting, so it could be said that the fake ones could be confused with the real ones.

However, after he put in primordial stones, the result was still the same.

At least half of the characters are unable to glow golden light.

"How could this be?"

Elder Lu is going crazy, he has clearly checked carefully, there is not a single mistake, why can't he succeed?

When he was about to pick up the third puppet heart, Lin Xuan opened his mouth.

"You try a hundred times and you won't succeed."

Elder Lu's hands froze in mid-air: "What did you say?"

Lin Xuan explained: "The characters you engraved are no different from mine. In terms of details, they are even worse. The reason why you failed is not because of skills, but because of skills."

Elder Lu became serious: "Cultivation method?"

"Yes, the heart of the seal carving puppet, in addition to the technical standards and correct logic, the more important thing is that the characters under the seal carving can be connected with each other, and the vitality is unobstructed."

"Yes."

For this reason, Elder Lu naturally understood that it was because the characters he carved could not communicate with each other that he failed.

"One puppet, there are 36 basic characters, and the reactions between any two characters are all fixed numbers, and the elders have already memorized it fluently."

"Yes."

Memorizing all the reactions between the 36 characters is the foundation of the foundation, not to mention him, even a puppet apprentice just getting started, there will be no mistakes.

"All the actions of the puppet stem from the logic in the puppet's heart. The characters we engrave are the same as the words that make up the article. If there are typos, no matter how good the article is, it will be difficult to read smoothly."

Elder Lu thought deeply: "What you said is correct, but you also said just now that there are no mistakes in the characters I carved."

"It's not like that," Lin Xuan shook his head, "I'm talking about the characters you carved, which are no different from mine, but that doesn't mean it's correct."

Elder Lu was a little dizzy when he heard it. You said it was the same, so how could you be wrong.

Before he could speak, Lin Xuan continued to explain.

"There are two basic elements in seal cutting characters, one is handwriting."

"Everyone's handwriting is different. Different handwritings have different effects after the characters are connected. Even the master of the puppet can't escape this rule."

"Three thousand, nine hundred years ago, Guo Feng, the ninth-level puppet master, invited three thousand puppet masters to gather together to study the influence of different handwriting on puppets. It took 900 years to integrate the north and the south, and established the standard writing of 72 basic characters. Template, and set up a book "Basic Characters of Puppets" to pass on to future generations."

Hearing this, Elder Lu no longer felt contemptuous. There was this book in his bookcase.

His cognition is the same as that of Lin Xuan, but he has never heard of writing characters, and there is a second element.

"Secondly, it's the exercises."

"Martial Dao Ninth Level, starting from the second level of Qi Gathering Realm, warriors can already leak their vitality."

"Cultivation techniques have attributes. Among the techniques hidden by Qianlongzong, there are different attributes such as wind, fire, thunder, water, and ice."

"According to the records in the "Basic Characters of Puppets of the Second Level" later written by Master Guo Feng, the movement speed of the puppet will increase when the characters are engraved with wind attribute techniques."

"The characters engraved with the fire attribute will enhance the basic strength of the puppet."

"Thunder attribute exercises, the explosive power of the puppet is enhanced, but the endurance is weakened."

"With the water attribute technique, the puppet's ability to resist blows is enhanced, and its endurance is enhanced, but the basic strength will be weakened."

"As for the ice attribute, it is similar to the characters engraved with the water attribute technique. The ability to resist blows is enhanced, but the endurance is weakened even more."

"Master Guo Feng believes that this is due to the principle of heat expansion and cold contraction, and the ice attribute is too cold, which leads to the poor circulation of vitality after the characters are connected."

"I think that's why Elder Lu failed."

When Lin Xuan was explaining, he kept staring at Elder Lu's expression. Every time he said a word, the shocked expression on Elder Lu's face became deeper and deeper, and he knew that he had guessed right.

Elder Lu couldn't help being shocked. The exercise he practiced was exactly Qianlongzong's Xuanbing body training formula, which was an ice attribute exercise.

"You... where did you learn it from?"

Lin Xuan had already guessed that Elder Lu would ask such a question, and blurted out the answer he had prepared in advance.

"Elder Hui, I used to be the floor-sweeping servant of the Sutra Library of the Zongmen. According to the regulations of the Zongmen, I can freely read the books except for exercises and martial arts."

"It took me three years to read all kinds of books on auxiliary occupations in the upper, middle and lower streams."

"Among them, the "Basic Characters of Puppets" I mentioned is No. 12 from the right in the third row of the Puppetology bookshelf."

""Secondary Puppet Basic Characters", the third book from the right on the highest floor of the same bookshelf."

Lin Xuan has the ability of photographic memory, he only needs to scan once, and he can remember the location of every book in the Sutra Pavilion.

Elder Lu was dumbfounded. There were at least ten thousand books on auxiliary occupations in the Sutra Pavilion, but Lin Xuan actually read them all?
More importantly, he can read the contents of the book at his fingertips!

I can't accept it!

He subconsciously asked: "Then how can I improve?"

He didn't notice that his tone sounded like a junior who was humbly asking for advice.

"It's very simple, you just need to restrain your cultivation and keep your vitality from leaking out!"

"Of course, if you want to go further with the puppet, you have to change another kind of exercise and practice from scratch!"

Elder Lu grabbed a new puppet heart, and according to the method Lin Xuan said, he restrained his vitality and re-sculpted it.

When he carved the last stroke and put it into the primordial stone, the puppet's heart glowed golden.

It turned out to be a success!

Elder Lu fell into deep thought. He started from cultivation, and what he practiced was ice-attribute exercises. If he changed to other attribute exercises, it would not only be more difficult, but also easy to go mad.

Lin Xuan guessed what Elder Lu was thinking, and suggested: "Elder, you don't need to worry, you just need to find a higher-grade non-attribute kung fu method to practice. It causes the attributes of vitality to be restrained, so that it becomes obsessed."

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Elder Lu suddenly realized that there are a lot of non-attribute exercises in the Sutra Pavilion, and he just needs to find one by himself.

He stood up suddenly, stretched his arms into fists, and bowed deeply to Lin Xuan.

"Thank you teacher for your advice!"

The gift of a half teacher!
