When it comes to the Eight Immortals, almost everyone in his time knew about them. During the New Year in the north, the Eight Immortals were often featured in social performances. There are countless stage plays and a large number of TV series about the Eight Immortals.
Although some people cannot name all the Eight Immortals at once, most people can still tell some stories about Lu Dongbin, He Xiangu, Han Xiangzi and other immortals.
If all Eight Immortals can be made, not only can the number of cards be increased by eight at once, but also a deck linkage skill can be made. In the endless mode, the Eight Immortals appearing at the same time has a similar effect to the appearance of the Ten Kings of Hell, and an overwhelming advantage can be achieved in an instant.
Xie Mingzhe has always been interested in myths and legends, so he knows the stories of each of the Eight Immortals by heart.
The leader of the Eight Immortals is Li Tieguai.
Many people have an impression of this god's appearance: he has a dark face, shaggy hair, a golden hoop on his head, a messy beard, a limp, one hand leaning on an iron crutch, and a large gourd on his back.
There is also a bizarre legend about how Tieguai Li became an immortal.
It is said that he was originally a handsome man with a dignified appearance. He practiced Taoism in a cave and had a high level of spiritual power, which enabled him to separate his soul from his body.
One day he decided to go out to look for a master, so he asked his apprentice to guard his "corpse" while his soul traveled far away. However, something unexpected happened at home and the apprentice had to go back to deal with it. He saw that his master had been dead for several days and there was no sign of resurrection. The apprentice thought that his master was dead, so he cremated his master's body on the spot.
After Tieguai Li's soul came back, he found his body burned and was very panicked. He wandered around the cave for a long time and finally found a starved corpse in the woods. The corpse was thin, dark-skinned, with messy hair and a cripple. His appearance was completely different from his original self. But in order to be resurrected, he had no choice but to use a corpse to revive, so he became his final lame appearance.
It can be said that Li Tieguai was betrayed by his disciple's strength.
However, this was a blessing in disguise. The Jade Emperor appeared to guide him and told him, "To seek the truth, you must look beyond the appearance. You cannot just look at the appearance. As long as you have perfected your merits and deeds, you will become a true immortal." Tieguai Li accepted this ugly body and ascended to become an immortal. After becoming an immortal, he specialized in the study of pharmacology and saved many people. He was deeply supported by the people and was called the "King of Medicine."
There are many more legends about Tieguai Li. Since he is the King of Medicine, Xie Mingzhe decided to make him into a healing card.
The big gourd behind him can store some golden elixir and feed it to teammates to increase their health. His iron crutch destined him to be classified as a gold card. Gold healing cards generally rely on critical hits to heal and instantly increase their health. They can increase their basic attack and critical hit rate to the highest level. Their defense will be relatively weak, so they need to design another defensive skill.
Tieguai Li (Gold)
Level: Level 1
Evolution Star Level:★
Use times: 1/1 time
Basic Attributes: HP 600, Attack 1500, Defense 600, Agility 30, Crit 30%
Additional Skills: Suspended Pot to Help the World (Tieguai Li is kindhearted and good at refining elixirs to help mankind. The gourd behind him stores seven elixirs. Each elixir can instantly restore 60% of Tieguai Li's basic attack power to a designated single target. It can also restore an additional 10% of health when a critical hit is triggered. The interval between using elixirs is 3 seconds. After the elixir is used up, the skill will be on cooldown and will refresh again after 30 seconds.)
Additional Skill: Borrowing a Corpse to Resurrect (Li Tieguai was originally a handsome man, but his soul traveled far away and his original body was burned. As a result, he was resurrected by a cripple. Li Tieguai has the ability to separate his soul from his body. When he dies, his soul can continue to exist for 5 seconds and select the corpse of any dead card on the field to automatically revive. When resurrected, the corpse's basic health is restored by 30% and his gourd is taken back, refreshing the "Suspended Pot to Save the World" skill; limited skill, can only be resurrected once in a game)
A gold-based critical healing card with very low basic health and defense, it is easy to be killed instantly by focused fire, but Tieguai Li's Resurrection can reduce his taunt, making the opponent hesitate whether to kill him or not. Even if he is killed, he can revive and refresh his skills to heal his teammates.
This card has an extremely fast healing rhythm, with single critical hit healing every 3 seconds, for a total of 7 times. Although the healing amount is not as good as the group healing skills with a long cooldown, it is more flexible in the game and can quickly increase the health of teammates who are being focused on.
After designing Li Tieguai, the next one to come was the second of the Eight Immortals who became an immortal the earliest - Zhongli Quan, also known as Han Zhongli.
According to legend, Han Zhongli was a man of burly build, but dressed very strangely. He had the same buns as two little girls, tied with a red rope, and wore a green Taoist robe, but his clothes were untidy, with his chest and abdomen exposed. He held a huge palm-leaf fan in his hand and had a smile on his face. He looked particularly handsome.
Han Zhongli was originally a brave general in the army and was very good at fighting. Later, he became a general under Han Xin and made great contributions to Liu Bang's founding of the country. However, due to his straightforward personality, he offended Liu Bang many times. Liu Bang was very angry and killed him through Han Xin.
After Han Zhongli's death, his ghost came to Zhongnan Mountain and hid his identity, hoping to become an immortal. It happened that a giant python was causing trouble in Zhongnan Mountain and swallowed many people. Han Zhongli was furious and killed the giant python with a big knife. The people were very grateful and built a "big immortal temple" in his memory. People came to burn incense in an endless stream, which alarmed the Queen Mother of Heaven. So she sent the Donghua Immortal to the earth to extradite Han Zhongli and let him officially join the immortal class.
It is said that after Han Zhongli became an immortal, he had the ability to "turn stone into gold" and saved many poor people. After accepting Lu Dongbin as his apprentice, he also taught Lu Dongbin this magic.
When designing this card, Xie Mingzhe thought of the Iron Fan Princess he had made before, who also used a palm-leaf fan as a weapon. However, the Iron Fan Princess was a forced displacement control that blew away a group of people. Han Zhongli's design did not require repeated displacement control, so Xie Mingzhe decided to make him a long-range spell control and output card.
Han Zhongli (Gold)
Level: Level 1
Evolution Star Level:★
Use times: 1/1 time
Basic Attributes: HP 800, Attack 1500, Defense 800, Agility 30, Crit 30%
Additional Skills: Turning Stone into Gold (Han Zhongli has a spell called "Turning Stone into Gold". Anything he touches will turn into priceless gold. Han Zhongli can turn a group of hostile targets within a 23-meter range into golden statues for 3 seconds. If the target is a card with the word "Stone", the time it takes to turn into a golden statue is increased by an additional 2 seconds. Cooldown: 30 seconds)
Additional Skills: Fortune (Han Zhongli turned stones into gold and saved many poor people. Therefore, everyone believes that Han Zhongli has the ability to protect gold mines and bring fortune. After Han Zhongli turns the designated target into a golden statue, he can trigger the "Fortune" state. In this state, Han Zhongli is not short of money at all. He waves the banana fan in his hand and summons a large number of gold ingots to fall from the sky. It lasts for 5 seconds and causes 60% gold group attack damage to enemy targets within a range of 23 meters per second. Targets hit by gold ingots within a range of 23 meters will feel happy because of the large amount of treasure they have obtained, and their attack power will increase by 50%; the cooldown time is 30 seconds)
This is typical - I'll use money to kill you!
This skill is likely to cause strong psychological discomfort to people without money - using gold to hit people is too much! The audience may wonder if they can stand within the range of Han Zhongli's skill and use a washbasin to catch the gold ingots?
***
After Li Tieguai and Han Zhongli, the first person to achieve immortality was Zhang Guolao.
Zhang Guolao's original name was "Zhang Guo". Because he was very old and lived a very long life, the people added the word "lao" after his name to show respect. It is said that he lived for hundreds of years and was the symbol of the "longevity" among the people.
He had white hair and a long beard, and looked like an immortal. The most profound impression Zhang Guolao left on Xie Mingzhe was his mount. Others rode horses or mythical beasts, but he rode a donkey, and he rode it upside down, facing backwards and with his back facing forward.
Zhang Guolao's magic weapon is the "fishing drum", which is made of bamboo and looks like a bamboo tube with a "Y"-shaped bamboo board inserted in the middle. It is a musical instrument. It is said that Zhang Guolao often used it to accompany singing in folk life. When designing the card image, Xie Mingzhe followed the legend and drew a donkey for Zhang Guolao, riding upside down, holding a bamboo fishing drum in his hand, full of fairy spirit.
There are many legends about Zhang Guolao, the most common one is that he pretended to be dead many times. When Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong of Tang summoned him to the palace, he declined. When Wu Zetian sent someone to invite him out of seclusion, he pretended to be dead and left his rotten body. Later, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang continued to invite Zhang Guolao to the palace and wanted to marry the princess to him, so he pretended to be dead again. Emperor Xuanzong was unwilling to give up and sent someone to examine the body, but found that the coffin was empty.
There are many stories about how Zhang Guolao became an immortal. The most popular one is that he "stole ginseng soup". Legend has it that he was very greedy. One time, a monk in the temple accidentally dug up a Polygonum multiflorum, which could make one immortal if eaten. The abbot called everyone to a meeting to discuss how to divide the food. Zhang Guolao happened to come back and smelled the fragrance in the kitchen. He secretly ate the whole Polygonum multiflorum and fed the soup to his donkey.
The abbot found that someone had stolen the Polygonum multiflorum and was furious. He wanted to kill Zhang Guolao and take his meat to get the immortal energy. Zhang Guolao was awakened and knew that something was wrong. He immediately rode his donkey to escape. However, he fell on the donkey in a panic. The donkey ran westwards in panic and ran to the lake where there was no road. He was about to die. As a result, the donkey screamed and flew up to the top of the mountain. It turned out that the donkey had gained immortal energy after drinking the soup made from Polygonum multiflorum. Zhang Guolao survived and rode away leisurely on the donkey. From then on, he ascended to become an immortal.
Zhang Guolao's design can be placed on the auxiliary card. As a representative of longevity, the protection of the immortal can make our cards live a hundred years. In addition, the ability to play dead and the greedy personality should also be reflected in the card design.
Zhang Guolao (Gold Series)
Level: Level 1
Evolution Star Level:★
Use times: 1/1 time
Basic Attributes: HP 800, Attack 1500, Defense 800, Agility 30, Crit 30%
Additional Skills: Immortal of Longevity (No one knows Zhang Guolao's age, but it is said that he lived for hundreds of years and was extremely long-lived. When Zhang Guolao is present, the designated target within 23 meters of our side can receive the "blessing of the immortal" and obtain the "immortality" state for 8 seconds. During these 8 seconds, they will lose blood if attacked, but will not die even if their blood volume drops to 1 drop. After the 8 seconds are over, the immortality state disappears and they will die only if attacked; the cooldown time is 30 seconds)
Additional Skills: Playing Dead Skill (Zhang Guolao enjoys a leisurely and quiet life. Every time someone invites him out of the mountains, he tells the other party that "Zhang Guolao is dead" and then leaves a grave for himself and runs away - when Zhang Guolao is fatally injured, he can use the Playing Dead skill to leave a grave on the spot and teleport to a designated location within a range of 23 meters to escape; cooldown time is 60 seconds)
Additional Skills: Stealing Ginseng Soup (Zhang Guolao is particularly greedy and has a keen nose. Once he smells the delicious food, he will go to steal it. When there is any buff on the field, Zhang Guolao can ride the donkey upside down, let the donkey fly over with a cloud of mist, speed up 500% and eat all the buffs on the enemy targets within 5 meters of itself; cooldown time 60 seconds)
This auxiliary card is very annoying. The feign death technique of the second skill makes it difficult to kill him in one wave. He can run very fast on the donkey and steal the opponent's buffs, such as continuous blood recovery, attack enhancement, attack speed enhancement, etc., which are all gain-type buffs. If Zhang Guolao steals the buff, the opponent's rhythm will be greatly affected.
Three of the Eight Immortals cards were made, Li Tieguai and Zhang Guolao, both of which are very powerful auxiliary cards that are difficult to kill; Zhong Hanli came out and threw gold at people, and also turned people into golden statues. In the future, there will be glittering golden butterflies, golden plants, and golden joker cards on the field... With the existence of Zhong Hanli, the entire professional league has become rich!
The remaining five characters, Lu Dongbin, Han Xiangzi, He Xiangu, Lan Caihe, and Cao Guojiu, all have their own bizarre legends, and there are also "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Each Showing Their Magical Powers" linked skills that can be created. He needs to think carefully about the specific design.
The author has something to say:
The Immortal cards will create a new category, so we will make a larger quantity. The Eight Immortals set will be completed tomorrow.
