As the Taoist saying went, ” All things are negative and positive, and the surging of qi is harmonious. ” This meant that the two qi of yin and yang combined to form all things. Whether or not all things were synthesized in this way was not discussed, but the Taoist ability to borrow the qi of heaven and earth was very strong, and talismans were one of them.
...If an ordinary Taoist wanted to draw a talisman, it would be very laborious. He had to set up an altar, clear his distracting thoughts, focus his mind, clean his heart, body, face, hands, and rinse his mouth. He also had to prepare many sacrifices before he could start drawing under the condition of extreme concentration. Otherwise, the thing he drew would only have the appearance and no effect. More seriously, it might even be harmful, because if the talisman gall could not be suppressed, some evil would enter the talisman.
But to Xia Ji,
It seemed easy.
He didn’t even want the yellow paper.
That Judge Brush was drawing in the void.
After he finished drawing a talisman, he waved his hand and started drawing a second talisman. He continued drawing.
After the time for an incense stick to burn,
He had already drawn a total of fifteen talismans.
The fifteen talismans were not yellow paper, but floating in the void in front of him. Compared to the single talisman containing life and death, there were many different types and functions.
Xia Ji waved his hand, and the Judge Brush disappeared.
He stood up, and fifteen talismans surrounded him.
When he moved, the talismans moved as well.
He stopped, and so did the talisman.
With a thought, the talismans all took on a form that was invisible to the naked eye.
This gave Xia Ji a feeling that he was a Protoss aircraft carrier in a game he played in his previous life. Now that he was an aircraft carrier, these charms were like small planes or exploding bugs surrounding him.
He nodded. He felt that he had taken another step forward on the path of a Mage and Summoner.
When he arrived at the courtyard, he immediately saw the crooked tree in the courtyard. With a thought, Shua!
A talisman flew out.
The crooked tree was instantly wrapped in death energy. Its life had been taken away and it was rapidly withering. The leaves that had just turned green quickly turned yellow at a visible speed, and the plump trunk became more and more wrinkled like an old man.
This wasn’t poison, nor was it corrosion. Instead, it had given the tree death from the very roots. This was something that couldn’t be solved.
Shua!
Another talisman flew out.
It was as if the Yama had written the word ” die ” on the Book of Life and Death, but now it had changed to ” live “. In an instant, the crooked tree that had not completely died stopped withering.
Shua!
Another talisman.
The crooked tree had already withered and turned yellow. The tottering leaves began to turn green, and the withered trunk became more and more plump. The originally few branches actually opened up and scattered leaves, appearing unusually lush.
Shua!
Another talisman.
The talisman drew a strange trajectory in the air and then silently drilled into the ground.
Not long after, a dark shadow emerged from the ground. The shadow’s face was blurry and its shape was strange, giving people a cold and creepy feeling.
When the shadow saw Xia Ji, it actually ” knelt ” down.
Xia Ji didn’t know how it managed to make such a difficult move, but the strange shadow did kneel, showing respect and submission.
When he was on Floating Jade Mountain and Entering Cloud Peak, he had seen the shadow of the mountain fiend under Yamo’s control. However, this dark shadow in front of him might be one level higher than that fiend shadow. How was it higher?
At this moment, a bird chirped.
Xia Ji saw a cute sparrow landing on a tilted tree, chirping happily and singing.
He waved his finger and pointed at the sparrow.
Sparrow:
The black shadow flew out as if it had received an imperial order and burrowed into the bird’s body.
The sparrow was speechless.
When he opened his eyes again, the bird’s eyes were filled with fear. It looked at Xia Ji with a ghastly gaze, as if it was waiting for his orders. It was obvious that the black shadow had temporarily occupied the sparrow’s body and could control it to do anything.
After quietly waiting for the time for an incense stick to burn, the black shadow seemed to have reached its limit. It could no longer withstand the Yang qi and retreated from the sparrow’s body, drilling back into the ground listlessly.
The sparrow’s legs gave way and it fell from the tree. It looked like it was dying from a serious illness.
Xia Ji shot out a talisman, and the sparrow immediately regained its vitality.
Sparrow:
It flew up happily.
Xia Ji looked up at it.
Talismans shot out one after another.
The sparrow would die one moment, and then it would be full of energy the next. In the end, it was at a loss. Who was it? Where was it? What was it doing?
It was not until the Summerpole Talisman was used up that the sparrow flew away. Ah, what an unforgettable day. Xia Ji stood under the eaves and concluded.
“Three types of talismans.
The Life Talisman could be saved as long as one was not dead.
The Death Talisman could kill as long as it was alive.
The Ghost Exorcism Talisman can control the ghosts condensed by the Earth Fiend and even allow the ghosts to temporarily possess the body. However, all living things have Yang Qi, so this kind of possession can’t last long. Even a sparrow can only last for an incense stick’s time, let alone a human. Ordinary ghosts and spirits probably can’t even enter the body, unless they’re malicious ghosts.”
With that thought in mind, Xia Ji took out the Judge Brush again and quietly drew a talisman in the air.
Not long after, the ten talismans were completed. They hovered quietly around Xia Ji and slowly rotated.
Xia Ji pressed his hands against the ground.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
All the talismans were shot into the ground. Soon, ten dark ghosts crawled out.
Xia Ji clasped his hands together.
The ten ghostly shadows seemed to have received an imperial order and quickly fused together, forming a big ghost that was five to six meters tall. The energy and Yin Qi contained in this big ghost had obviously increased by a lot. It would be better to use it to seize the body or even attack directly..
