Chapter 20 The Secret of the Bronze Mirror
"I hope you will have better luck tonight!" Li Muran said with a smile.
To make the Flame Blast Talisman, you need to draw a word, a seal, a spell, and a Dou. For Li Muran and other disciples who have not practiced for a long time, as long as they involve drawing the Douwen, it is definitely not a task that can be easily completed.
Although the Yanbo Douwen is just one of the simplest fire attribute five elements fighting articles, although Li Muran has practiced it hundreds of times, he is still not sure.
Li Muran took out a second-level talisman paper from the storage bag, a silver-backed wolf-haired talisman pen, a good talisman ink, and a pot of spiritual spring water.
After carefully adjusting the talisman with Lingquan Water, Li Muran closed his eyes and rested for a moment, leaving aside his distracting thoughts.
Then, he placed the storage bags and so on aside.
Only when the mind has no distractions and the body has no debris can it be used as a talisman. Li Muran has a habit of putting the debris aside before drawing the talisman.
At this moment, a cool mountain breeze blew, and the talisman paper on the table trembled slightly.
Li Muran frowned, took out the bronze mirror from the storage bag, pressed a corner of the talisman paper so that it no longer floated.
The bronze mirror is relatively large and stable, so it is very suitable for paperweighting. Moreover, the bronze mirror has been with him for many years and has been familiar with him for a long time, so it will not cause him any inconvenience or eye-catching. When making the One-Star Vitality Talisman, Li Muran often used a bronze mirror to paperweighting. Today, he did this, and there was nothing special about it.
After everything was ready, after a little adjustment, Li Muran closed his eyes slightly, used his magic power in his body, compressed the magic power according to the mantra of the Flame Explosion Technique, and gradually accumulated it in his right arm.
This process was natural and very smooth. Next, he could use a powerful flame explosion technique with just one finger.
But Li Muran did not do this. After he was ready to use the magic power of the Flame Explosion Technique, he opened his eyes, quickly lifted the talisman pen with his right hand, and dunked it with half full talisman ink, and immediately clicked the first rune in the center of the talisman paper.
I saw that his body was as stable as a mountain, and he was still moving, but his wrist was extremely flexible, and his mysterious runes were drawn under his talisman. First, there was a character "Yan", then a spell of fire that was winding like a tadpole, and then the next was the Flame Blowing Text.
While drawing the characters and spells, the mana of flame explosion accumulated in his arm was slowly flowing into the talisman paper along the talisman pen, and everything was smooth, swift and orderly; but when he began to draw the talisman fighting text, the mana of flame explosion suddenly rushed into the talisman pen and poured on the talisman paper.
Li Muran couldn't control it for a moment, and saw the talisman paper burning in an instant, turning into a wisp of blue smoke.
"It's really difficult to draw Douwen!" Li Muran shook his head secretly.
After a little rest, Li Muran took out another piece of talisman paper and cast the spell to make the talisman again.
This time, after successfully drawing the talisman and spell, he learned from the last lesson, immediately restrained his magic power, and began to draw the Yan Burning Fighting Text.
Although he tried his best to control his mana, the flame explosion magic power in his arm still rushed towards the talisman pen and sank into the talisman paper; but fortunately, the talisman paper could still bear it and would not be burned.
However, after two strokes of Douwen were drawn, Fu Bibi's body suddenly became hot and hot, like a red soldering iron!
"Ah!" Li Muran exclaimed, subconsciously threw the talisman pen and looked at the right hand holding the pen.
The right hand was as usual, not to mention burns, there was not even a red mark at all. Looking at the talisman pen thrown aside, there was no change at all.
The strong burning sensation just now seemed to be just an illusion of his, with no trace to be found; however, this talisman paper was burned by itself due to the interruption of the rune drawing.
"Cultivators in the early stage of Qi Zhi really cannot draw the Flame Explosion Talisman?" Li Muran said to himself with some frustration.
After trying it twice, the difficulties he encountered were far beyond expectations. There is a book that specifically introduces the production of primary talismans. Generally, only monks with advanced qi meridians or above can skillfully make the flaming talismans. A few monks with outstanding talents and middle-level qi meridians can also successfully make it, but the success rate is slightly lower. As for monks with early qi meridians, although they can perform the flaming talismans, it is difficult to make the flaming talismans.
The biggest difficulty among them is the not complicated "Yan Burning Fighting Text".
The book also says that every Douwen implies the evolutionary laws of the world and all things, and involves the operation of the laws of all things between heaven and earth, so it is extremely powerful; and to draw a Douwen, you must overcome various potential obstacles brought by the laws of heaven and earth. Therefore, if you want to successfully draw a Douwen, the talisman maker's own cultivation must be far above the power contained in Douwen, so that you can overcome many difficulties and successfully make talismans.
Li Muran believes that he can skillfully perform the Flame Explosion Technique, which has laid a solid foundation for talisman making, so it is possible to make the Flame Explosion talisman. Unexpectedly, it is indeed extremely difficult to try it today.
"Try again!"
Li Muran resolutely took out another piece of talisman paper and pressed it under the bronze mirror.
Then, he casts spells for the third time and draws talismans.
The word and spell at the beginning were not difficult for Li Muran. It was the real test when drawing the Yan Burning Fighting Text.
This time, when the third stroke of the Douwen was drawn, the sudden sensation of drama came from the talisman pen again. Li Muran frowned, and was so nervous that he was so nervous that he did not let go of the writing, and endured the severe pain and continued to draw the talisman.
After drawing two strokes, the burning feeling suddenly disappeared. Li Muran had no time to be happy, and the talisman paper actually started to ignite again, and the talisman production failed again.
"Come again!"
A stubbornness and unyielding spirit arose in Li Muran's heart. Most disciples who encounter difficulties like him will give up; but Li Muran feels that although they fail every time, they can learn from real experiences and lessons and make some improvements every time, and not without gain.
"As long as you can make continuous progress, there will always be one time when you can successfully create the Flame Blast Talisman!"
Li Muran tried five or six times in a row, but all ended in failure. Every time he made a essay, there were always strange obstacles and difficulties, which came suddenly and violently, making it difficult for him to deal with.
The closest he had succeeded was that he had already completed the Douwen drawing. He could complete the talisman by adding a seal, but the magic power contained in the talisman paper was too violent. Before he could finish the seal, the talisman paper exploded into a flame. The only luck was that it did not hurt himself.
The second-level talisman paper is used to make the Flame Explosion Talisman. One piece costs a piece of spirit stone. Every time it fails, a piece of spirit stone is wasted. Li Muran's approach is considered a very luxurious among the disciples of the same level. If he hadn't had some wealth, he wouldn't have dared to keep trying like this.
Li Muran thought to himself: "It's very close, but unfortunately he consumed a lot of mana. After taking a break, meditate and refine it, try it a few more times! Even if you use up these twenty second-level talisman papers, as long as you can get a lot of real experience, it will not be a waste!"
He believed that as long as he persisted like this, he would be able to successfully draw the Flame Burst Talisman. As long as he had a successful experience, he would have a second and third time! As he tried more and practiced more, the success rate of talisman making will gradually increase.
Chaoyuanfeng was very quiet, and Li Muran meditated for a while. The practice efficiency at night was extremely high. Not long after, he felt that his body was full of energy, so he stopped meditating.
Li Muran opened his eyes and took out a second-level talisman paper. He was about to make the talisman again, but suddenly he found that the bronze mirror that suppressed the talisman paper had vaguely changed a little!
"Huh!" Li Muran was shocked and hurriedly picked up the bronze mirror and looked at it carefully. He found that a light glow was condensed on the surface of the bronze mirror. Although it was very weak, if you look closely, you will know that it was obviously different from usual.
"Strange, I have to take out the bronze mirror almost every day to study. Why did the bronze mirror not have any abnormalities in the past, but today there is a faint light?"
Li Muran was very confused. He tried his best to think about what exactly caused the bronze mirror to change.
"The last time the bronze mirror shines, it was when the consecration talisman was made. This time it was also a talisman. Is it related to talisman making?"
When Li Muran thought of this, he shook his head again. During this period, he had made at least 100 Yuanqi Talismans. Almost every time he made a talisman, he took out the bronze mirror and placed it aside or suppressed the talisman paper, but he had never noticed any strange phenomenon.
"If it's not for the talisman making, then why is it because? Why does the bronze mirror shine when the talisman is made and the flame explosion talisman will shine, but when the talisman is made, there is no such thing as the difference during this period?"
Li Muran lowered his head and pondered, trying his best to recall all the fragments of the past.
He believed that all this was not accidental, and that it must be a certain detail that caused the change of the bronze mirror.
"Focus on details" is probably what Li Muran likes and is best at the most. He passed the various details since drawing the consecration talisman in his mind over and over again, carefully analyzing the similarities and differences.
"What's the problem?" Li Muran murmured, he raised his head and subconsciously looked at the bright moon with a silver halo.
Suddenly, a light of inspiration flashed through Li Muran's mind.
"Moon!? By the way, it's the moon!"
Li Muran suddenly thought that when making the consecration talisman, it was like now, in an open air outside the house, and at night when the moon was in the sky, the bronze mirror was exposed to the moonlight; when making the vital energy talisman, it was done in the house, and the moonlight could not shine on the bronze mirror.
Li Muran looked at the faint light emitted from the bronze mirror again. It was indeed somewhat similar to the halo around the moon, and he was even more sure of his speculation.
Li Muran thought excitedly: "If this is true, let the bronze mirror be placed in the moonlight for a while, the light emitted by the bronze mirror will be stronger, and it may even reproduce the scene of the night when the consecration talisman was made."
Li Muran paused the talisman making. He placed the bronze mirror in the moonlight, and he was waiting quietly on the side.
One hour later, when Li Muran saw the silver light coming out of the surface of the bronze mirror, he felt nervous and excited:
"I'm finally going to get into the real secret of the bronze mirror!"
