Chapter 35, Spell Seal.
Even though he saw Barrett's power, Hongyuan was still a little worried and said he wanted to make more preparations. Xu Hao was also very familiar with this preparation, just to strengthen the battle with various talismans.
Taoist priests have poor combat power, especially in the early stages. Apart from Taoist crafts, Hongyuan is a little stronger than ordinary people, so every time they fight, it is important to prepare talismans.
Under Hongyuan's command, their master and apprentice divided their work and cooperated. Hongyuan made intermediate and advanced and difficult talismans such as Vajra Talisman and Five Thunder Talisman, while Xu Hao created intermediate and simple talismans such as Rejuvenation Talisman, Fireball Talisman, etc.
This painting lasted for three days. Even if the five thunder talisman with a failure rate of up to 90%, Hongyuan also prepared 10 as aces, and hundreds of other talismans were also prepared.
Xu Hao was drawing talismans for a few days, and he had to vomit. He had only been practicing talismans for a few months. The low-level talismans were fine, with a success rate of more than 50%, but the intermediate talismans were only 20%. But this time, they were all used talismans above the intermediate level, so Xu Hao would succeed every five times when drawing talismans. He felt irritable and was very bored to do the same thing endlessly, let alone concentrate, otherwise the talisman would fail.
Xu Hao asked Hongyuan why it is impossible to use printing techniques to create a talisman, creating a talisman seal, and then a talisman is released, which is not more efficient.
Hong Yuan said: "Drawing talismans is not only these pigments, but also requires synchronizing the magic power into the talisman. This process will fail if there is a little unexpected talisman. The talisman can be sealed, but you can create a magic seal at the same time!"
For a complete talisman, you need to use cinnabar to draw a seal on the outside, and you also need to use magic power to draw something like a seal on the inside. Only then can the talisman be considered successful. There cannot be any interruption in it. The magic power must constantly draw a seal of rules. In this process, Xu Hao must concentrate on controlling the magic power. Even so, he will often be interrupted, or the magic power is not controlled well, so he will spend a talisman.
Low-level talismans can be created with only a few simple magic lines, so Xu Hao has the highest success rate. The intermediate talisman mana lines have increased by more than 10 times, and the difficulty is naturally increased by more than 10 times. However, advanced talismans even need to use magic lines to create three-dimensional seals, and the difficulty is naturally increased by more than 10 times. Therefore, even Taoist priests like Hongyuan who have drawn talismans for decades have the success rate.
But he felt that these problems could not be solved in modern society. Not to mention various machine tools, 3D printing technology, and laser engraving technology might not be able to solve these problems. Use laser to engrave mana lines, and future talismans only need to use mana to follow these routes.
Of course, the talisman seal can only be left in the future before finding a solution. What they have to do now is to eliminate the wolf demon.
When Hongyuan felt ready, he led Xu Hao and Qingniu to the group of wolf demons in the strange stone ridge.
Because the wolves demons in the Strange Rock Ridge exist, the villagers in this area are not well lived. Livestock are often bitten to death by wolves, and even villagers will die. The villagers report the Demon Suppression Division, but the Wolves are cunning. Every time the Demon Suppression Division comes, they will leave the wolves and run away alone. The Terrain of the Strange Rock Ridge is complex and it is very easy to hide traces. Even monks find them difficult to find them. The Demon Suppression Division can only kill some ordinary wolf-like men, but the villagers are revenge from the Wolve Demon, and many people are bitten to death by the Wolve Demon.
The few demon removals did not bring good results. Instead, they were retaliated by the wolf demons. The villagers could only accept their fate and dare not mention the evil demon removal. They even specially raised some domestic animals for these wolf demons to eat to protect their family's safety. These wolf demons seemed to have regarded the surrounding villages as their own territory and knew sustainable development. They did not focus on one village, but instead took turns to give sacrifices to these villages.
The villagers only thought that one more government taxes were collected. Over the years, the strange balance was maintained around the Wei Shiling Mountains, and no one even died in the mouths of the wolf demons in recent years.
So when Xu Hao and the others came here, the villagers saw them even with hatred eyes, because Xu Hao and the others could not kill the wolf demon and could leave it, but they would suffer revenge from the wolf demon.
"What's going on here?" Xu Hao was completely unable to adapt to this for the first time when he came here. The other villages were excited when they knew they wanted to eliminate monsters, but they looked at them coldly.
Hongyuan is a native, so he naturally understands the situation here and sighs: "They are also victims."
Then he told Xu Hao about the situation here, and then said to him: "We should not enter the village, so as not to eliminate monsters, and let them suffer revenge from wolf monsters! And these villagers may pull us back."
After saying that, Hongyuan took them out of the village.
Xu Hao said angrily: "These wolf demons simply raise sheep among people in the captive state. The court doesn't care about such things?"
Hongyuan said helplessly: "The court cannot control such things. If you don't talk about anything else, just say that the crocodiles in Pengze Lake kill hundreds of people every year, but the court cannot do anything to them. At most, I will give you some advice to the Dragon King."
Xu Hao continued: "It's not that there is Long Ting, and they don't care about these things?"
Hongyuan said: "The Taizu of Longting is not invincible. There are many strong people who can compete with him, such as the Longjun of the Yangtze River and the Hebo of the Yellow River. The court will not get into evil with these people. Not to mention that they have relatives in the sea. The strength of the aquarium outside the sea is not much worse than our human race. The victory or defeat is unknown. However, the territory where the two sides live does not cross, so there is no big war. At that time, Taizu made an agreement with Longjun and Hebo that the front line of the Yangtze River, Pengze Lake, and Dongting Lake are all the territory of the aquarium, and they worship them. They should bless the four seasons of Daqi to have good weather."
"I have been in peace a few years ago, but in recent years, crocodiles breeding in Pengze Lake, and the people of our Daqi have increased several times. So the people of Daqi entered Pengze Lake and Dongting Lake to reclaim wasteland, affecting the habitat of crocodiles and other aquariums. Pengze Lake crocodiles invaded various river areas and bit many Daqi people to death. The two sides influenced each other, and crocodiles killed and crocodiles."
After discussing with the Longting of the Daqi, the rules were formulated. The aquariums and people who entered the two places survived by their ability. Therefore, when crocodiles were bitten to death in Pengze Lake, the Demon Suppression Department could not control it. On the Daqi territory, the Demon Suppression Department offered a reward of crocodiles, and the Dragon Suppression Department could not control it.
Of course, there are still some rules: advanced aquariums cannot massacre humans, and advanced monks cannot massacre aquariums. Humans rely on monks at the bottom to fight against the people, while aquariums rely on crocodiles and fish demons at the bottom to fight, and life and death are all in their destiny.
