I will survive with proficiency

After Xiyue left, Chen Ping went to the cave gate and looked outside. It was already late at night, and the whole village was very quiet, even the occasional cry of a child could not be heard on weekdays.

It is summer, and the Canglan Grassland villages without formations will also experience the changing seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and autumn will be in two months.

Harvest season.

But the whole village didn't feel like harvesting at all.

Chen Ping looked at the starry sky.

Before I knew it, I had been here for four years. Before coming, it was Foundation Establishment, but now it is Jindan.

But I still don't know when I can go back.

Why.

When can I hug my tender daughter-in-law and taste the good life?

There is nothing here.

"You Daoist Chen haven't rested so late?" A monk walked out of the Mingheyuan Cave Mansion. This person was the Jindan monk who worked with Chen Ping to burn the wasteland during the day.

Chen Ping chatted with him on the way here. This monk was named Feng Li, and there was a foundation-builder Taoist couple. The two had lived together in another village for many years.

But they felt that the surrounding resources of that village were too exhausted, so the two took this opportunity to come here together.

Chen Ping never thought that he lived next door:

"Feng Daoyou lives in this cave?"

"Yes." Feng Li smiled:

"I just arrived here, and I don't want to go to open up the cave myself. It's the same everywhere. I wanted to visit the neighbors, but it was already late when I moved in, so I didn't bother. I didn't want to rest. I came out to get some air. I never thought that Daoyou Chen lived in the house." If you are next door, you and I are destined."

After finishing speaking, he held a teapot and raised his hand:

"How about drinking tea and chatting together? You didn't bother Chen Daoyou, did you?"

I have to say that this person still knows how to enjoy life.

Chen Ping hasn't had spirit tea after coming here for so long.

Of course, this is mainly because he has no interest in it.

In contrast, he prefers to drink plain water.

"Where is there. Daoyou Feng is so late and still not resting? You don't move to a new house and go in and sit with Taoist couple?" Chen Ping saw that there was still a faint light in his cave.

His Taoist companion probably wasn't asleep either.

Seeing that Chen Ping agreed, Feng Li walked towards Chen Ping's yard with the teapot in his hand. He kept his voice down when he reached Chen Ping's yard, and said with a hey smile:

"Ham, what kind of Taoist companion to accompany. To tell you the truth, Chen Daoyou, my Taoist companion is obedient to me, and she never dares to speak after me."

"Not to mention just coming out to sit for a while, even if I don't come home at night, she doesn't dare to say a word."

There was a voice of pride in his expression.

Chen Ping believed it.

One is Jindan, and the other is Foundation Establishment.

The status of the family is judged.

Chen Ping called Feng Li to sit down in front of the tables and chairs in the yard, and he took out the kettle from the cave, and drank his own boiled water on the pretext of not drinking spirit tea.

"..."

"Is the village where Daoyou Feng used to be in similar to this one?" Chen Ping asked after the tea was over.

After coming to Canglan Grassland, he didn't go to many places.

Most of the information is based on inquiries.

"It's not bad. It's also an ancient pagoda in the middle. It's also protected. But it's nothing. I went in. The ancient pagoda is unremarkable. Some of the words on it are somewhat useful. It seems to be forbidden by the ancient pagoda's secret law. I heard that it is right. Activating the ancient tower of the underground palace also played a little role." Feng Li said.

In this way, the situation in every village is the same.

Chen Ping took the opportunity to ask some more questions about the stone tower in the formation.

Knowing that the writing on the ancient pagoda is an ancient prohibition.

It is one of the many measures to ensure that the ancient pagoda has the ability to drive away monsters, and it is also one of the assistance for the ancient pagoda guardians to explore the secret method to open the ancient pagoda of the underground palace.

Of course, this was all Feng Li inquired about in the original village. Reliability unknown.

...In this way, those guardians of the ancient pagoda still have some experience in deciphering the meaning of such characters. No wonder Jiang Youwei asked everyone to memorize those runes first in the underground palace.

This is good news.

"Do you Feng Daoyou still remember those words? I am a talisman master, but I am quite interested in these weird words." Chen Ping took the opportunity to ask.

Unlike when he first came here four years ago, Chen Ping no longer wants to blindly wait for others to slowly find a solution.

As long as the risk is controllable, you have to think about it slowly.

It's best to go back sooner.

"I don't remember." Feng Li shook his head, remembered something, and said:

"Didn't this village publish those texts?"

"Has Feng Daoyou's original village been made public?" Chen Ping hesitated.

"Yes, in order to explore the connotation of those words, the guardian of the ancient pagoda engraved those words on the stone tablet in the village, and encouraged all monks to interpret them. As long as they can provide effective information, they will be rewarded with incentives."

"If fellow Daoist Chen wants to inquire, you can ask one or two monks from that village, and you may be able to ask." Feng Li was somewhat puzzled by the fact that the village did not disclose information.

Chen Ping nodded, and asked Feng Li which fellow Taoists came from the same village as him.

‘I have to find an opportunity to get those words and see if they are valuable. '

After Feng Li finished his introduction, he said with emotion:

"In fact, brainstorming is the most effective way. This time I got the underground palace rune, but I can propose to the guardians of the ancient pagoda to make it public, and work together to realize some truth faster."

Chen Ping also sighed:

"Whoever says no, I hope it can be interpreted earlier, and I hope the result of the interpretation is good. Don't let it be another hundred years after a hundred years."

"."

While the two were chatting, a deliberate cough came from Feng Li's cave.

With this clear cough, Feng Li, who had been lazily leaning on the chair, sat up straight.

Realizing that his reaction was too big, he smiled awkwardly.

"Hehe, I thought it was that voice. It turned out to be that girl. I don't need to pay attention to her. I have the final say in the house. ...Of course, I have to go back. The main reason is that it's too late to disturb Chen Daoyou for too long." Feng Li lowered his voice. The voice pretended to be calm.

You can pull it down.

Then you should speak louder.

Why lower your voice.

Chen Ping smiled and didn't expose him.

Feng Li turned sideways, looked at the cave behind Chen Ping, lowered his voice again, and said with a smile:

"That fellow Daoist Chen is not your own sister, is it?"

Chen Ping hesitated, this guy has good eyesight.

This is all seen.

Before Chen Ping could answer, Feng Li chuckled:

"Hey, brother, I'm here, I can tell at a glance. Did you do it?"

"What? Look at the behavior between the two of you, haven't you slept in the same bed together? It's been here for so many years, in the same room, why don't you sleep with me?"

Chen Ping was short of breath.

He looked back at Xiyue's quiet room.

You can keep your voice down.

Zhuji and Jindan's ears are sharp, and the women in the two caves may be listening.

Feng Li was unaware of Chen Ping's expression.

As someone who has experienced it, he decisively introduced his experience in finding a Taoist companion:

"It's fine if you don't sleep. Judging from my old man's experience, when looking for a Taoist partner, you have to find the kind who is gentle and well-behaved, and the kind who can soften your heart when you call her husband. Hehe, that's wonderful."

"I see your godmother's face is frosty, she is not a monk who is easy to deal with, and besides, she has been in the same room with you for so many years and has not given you sleep, she looks like a temperamental person, very arrogant, this kind of woman is the worst Suitable as a Taoist companion."

"Brother me."

Before Feng Li finished speaking, a burst of vigorous aura emanated from Xiyue's quiet room, and an empty chair in the yard was instantly shattered to powder.

Feng Li stopped talking immediately.

After looking back, he hurriedly got up and said:

"That, that's what. It's getting late, so don't bother Chen Daoyou to rest, and talk about it the next day."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Chen Ping to reply, he got up with the teapot and hurried back to his cave.

After Feng Li left, Chen Ping got up and tidied up the things that were shaken by Xi Yue.

Why.

Really.

What Feng Daoyou said is also correct.

Why are you making such a fuss.

Sure enough, there are many disputes after leaving the cave, it is better to stay in the quiet room.

Back in the quiet room, Chen Ping injected a little spiritual power into the sparkling stone on the table.

Make it brighter.

Anyway, I didn't feel sleepy, so I just continued to lean over my desk and copied those underground palace runes again.

It is to deepen the impression.

Because of an experience, I copied all the runes in more than two hours this time.

Chen Ping picked up one and looked at it.

Looking at a rune alone, it is a talisman.

'What would happen if it was drawn in the way of talismans? '

Chen Ping thought that when he saw these runes in the underground palace, they really had a faint aura, which was very similar to the activated runes.

Thinking of this, he immediately took out the talisman skin.

After calming down, he bent over his desk again.

The previous two transcribed runes were only recorded using the rune pen as a medium, and no spiritual power was injected into them.

Just like writing.

This time, it is a symbol.

It is a bit regretful that there is no corresponding talisman book, and he doesn't know what the essence of drawing talismans is? What is the idea? How about the curse? What are the detailed requirements?

All he can do is to introduce spiritual power on the basis of "writing" by virtue of his skillful character drawing skills and abundant insights.

After finishing a picture, he waited for a moment.

It's a pity that the entire rune didn't respond at all, and it was no different from what was written, and the spiritual power was not retained in the lines.

The drawn rune is dead.

‘Come again, try a few more times to see if it works. '

Chen Ping was not discouraged.

As a talisman teacher, he knew that even if he had a book, it was not easy to draw talismans step by step.

What's more, there are no teaching materials at all nowadays, and I rely on my own copying and comprehension.

Second time, third time, fourth time.

The fiftieth time...

He kept drawing like this, the sky was bright and then dark, and then bright again.

Unfortunately, after a day and two nights, I didn't find any clues at all.

It stands to reason that I have a deep understanding of the second-order talismans, and I have been painting for so long that I don't have even a little bit of insight at all.

But in fact, there is just no comprehension.

'It seems that it is not a simple symbol. '

'Perhaps there is another mystery in it. '

After dawn, Chen Ping, who was going to continue exploring the runes, received a visitor.

—Friar Gold.

Chen Ping received him in the living room of the cave mansion. After a few salutes, Brother Jin said:

"Daoyou Chen was in the underground palace that day, right? Daoyou Chen, did you record those runes?"

"I remembered some, what's the matter?" Chen Ping didn't know why he suddenly asked this.

"That's good." Brother Jin said with a smile:

"Those runes are intricate, numerous, and detailed. It is easy to make mistakes just relying on the memory of a few people. Can Chen Daoyou copy down the memorized runes? This way, collective efforts can also reduce some mistakes."

Seeing that Chen Ping did not speak, Brother Jin continued to introduce.

This time, I will ask all the monks who have been to the center of the underground palace one by one, especially the talisman masters like Chen Ping. Then, the runes transcribed by everyone were collected together to check for omissions and fill in the gaps, so as to correct some mistakes in the memory of the guardian of the ancient tower.

It's a joint effort for everyone's benefit.

"I happened to transcribe some runes last night, but not many, fellow Jin Daoist later."

Chen Ping did not hide the facts. This matter is for the common interests of everyone, and it is also related to his own plan to get out of the Canglan Grassland. He should work together.

But he didn't provide all the runes.

Instead, he provided thirty-five runes counting from the back to the front, saying that he and Xiyue recorded part of them.

As for the previous ones, most monks probably memorize them from the front to the back, so there should be no problem.

"Dare to ask Fellow Daoist Jin, is there a strategy for interpreting these runes?" Chen Ping took the opportunity to ask.

When giving benefits to others, it is best to inquire about news.

Fellow Daoist Jin took Chen Ping's paper talisman, thanked him, and said:

"It's okay to talk to Fellow Daoist Chen about this matter in advance. This time is different from the past, and the leader doesn't want to wait another hundred years. After a while, Japan will follow the example of another village and make the runes public and brainstorm."

"Does Chen Daoyou know what a restriction is?"

Prohibition?

That's all too common.

The costume array on the robe can be called a prohibition, and the texture array on the magic weapon can also be called a prohibition...

But this is obviously not what Brother Jin wanted to ask.

Chen Ping hurriedly said:

"Appreciate further details."

Brother Jin nodded: "These runes are actually a kind of restriction, we call it: imprisonment...."

Imprisonment, as the name suggests, is a spell that imprisons other things.

Imprisonment is a talisman and a spell.

To be precise, it is a secret technique that combines talismans and spells.

First practice this kind of secret technique, and then comprehend the rhymes in it during the practice of the secret technique, and then understand the essence of drawing talismans.

Then use the runes as the carrier to draw the talismans, and then use secret techniques to connect them in series to open up the connection between the runes and form a unique confinement effect.

Therefore, the confinement technique is different from the restraints of formations, refining tools, and drawing symbols, forming a system of its own.

Obviously, these runes are the confinement technique that imprisoned the broken arm.

"Since this is the case, as long as the runes are ready, wouldn't it be possible to start practicing secret arts, and then feed back the runes, and finally break free from the confinement?" Chen Ping interrupted when he heard the key point.

"Successfully untie the confinement?" Brother Jin laughed dumbfoundedly:

"Let's not talk about whether you can successfully learn this confinement technique, even if you succeed in learning it, it's just learning the confinement technique, which can be used to confine other things."

"But it's not so easy to get rid of other people's imprisonment."

"When the confinement technique is arranged, it can be mixed with the thoughts of the person imprisoned, and some unpredictable things can be added at will, such as sword intent, such as some mysterious and mysterious third secret techniques."

"This requires me to wait to comprehend this confinement technique, to comprehend and ponder the potential way to untie it, which is not that simple."

"The haggard old man claimed that it was the imprisonment from the demon world to the human world. If it is true, but the imprisonment is so easy to untie, is that okay?"

Chen Ping understood what it meant.

The reason why the confinement technique is powerful is that during the confinement process, the caster can add some intricate side plots at will.

If you can't solve the branch plot, you can't pass the level either.

The problem is that these branches are complex and can be all kinds of unexpected things.

However, there is no corresponding secret technique left, which is equivalent to no trace.

The only good thing is that since these branch lines have been arranged, it is inevitable that there will be some clues left behind. If you can comprehend such a little clue when practicing the confinement technique, you may be able to find a glimmer of opportunity.

"Fellow Daoist Jin said 'Let's not talk about it' just now, does it mean that the confinement technique and the rune have the same mystery?" Chen Ping asked again.

"Whether the mystery exists is unknowable, but what is known is that it is also very difficult..." Brother Jin explained generously.

Imprisonment is usually a secret technique unique to the caster. It is not a common spell. It is unique, and even its arrangement has the caster's own understanding.

Therefore, there is no experience in the practice of confinement.

In other words, the previous hundred years of experience accumulated by the guardian of the ancient pagoda will not play a big role in interpreting the confinement technique this time.

Have to start all over again.

Furthermore.

Imprisonment is mixed with runes, but there is no book for drawing runes. It is necessary to comprehend the essentials during the training process of imprisonment, and then apply it to drawing runes.

In other words, it is not easy to learn the technique of confinement.

It is even more difficult to draw runes.

In the end, combining the two is even more difficult.

"Chen Daoyou, that's all there is to say. Anyway, it's all information that will be made public in the future. If Chen Daoyou encounters any doubts in the future, you and I can continue to discuss it." Brother Jin stood up and said goodbye.

Chen Ping hurriedly stood up to express his thanks:

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jin, for clarifying the confusion. I have benefited a lot from listening to you."

"Chen Daoyou is being polite."

Chen Ping sent Cultivator Jin out, and saw that he went to the cave next door to knock on the door, so he turned back to the mansion.

...
