Chapter 85 Wu Ge's Letter
Fu Zong, the elders’ cave.
The original Fu Sect might have had a specific cave for the elders to use. After Nan Wang took over, he was too lazy to find out where the cave from a hundred years ago was now, so he simply located the cave where he made talismans on a daily basis as the elders' cave.
The cave he chose was in a very good location, surrounded by mountains and water, with open space outside, making it perfect for the exorcism experiment.
At this moment, Nan Wang was in the elders' cave, looking at the talisman in front of him with a serious expression.
To be more precise, it was the talisman sword in front of him that was entangled with talismans.
The sword given to him by Mu Yuanyun.
After the conference announcing the fourth true teaching ended that day, Nanwang never saw Mu Yuanyao again.
Although he accepted the Guantian Sword under the advice of his senior sister, he kept it in his storage bag and never took it out to use.
About half a year ago, the third senior brother Zhan Chenming asked him to borrow the Guantian Sword, saying that he wanted to study the formation on the scabbard.
Nan Wang lent the sword out very generously, and was prepared for the possibility that his third brother would not return it to him.
Unfortunately, Zhan Chenming not only quickly returned the Guantian Sword to him, but also praised the formation on the scabbard and repeatedly told him to use the sword well.
Even so, Nanwang still had not thought about using this Guantian Sword.
However, after experiencing the sword-selecting ceremony at the Ten Thousand Swords Tomb, Nan Wang changed his mind.
He was scared.
He really didn't want to experience such an outrageous thing again.
For this reason, he wanted to decide on his natal sword as soon as possible, so that the next time Senior Sister asked him to go to the Tomb of Ten Thousand Swords, he could use the fact that he already had his natal sword as an excuse to reject Senior Sister's kindness.
The Guantian Sword had already been pulled out by Nanwang, with the sword body placed on one side and the scabbard on the other.
Nan Wang observed the red talisman on the scabbard with mixed feelings.
He is now completely different from the ignorant him back then. After making talismans for such a long time, he has gained a lot of understanding about them.
The red talisman papers wrapped around the Guantian Sword are completely different from ordinary talisman papers.
Ordinary talisman papers are consumables and will be discarded after one use, but this red talisman paper is different. Each red talisman is a top-grade magical tool and can be used repeatedly.
As for this method of refining talismans into magical instruments, Nanwang still has no idea.
It would be a lie to say that I am not greedy. Nanwang dreams of developing a talisman that can be used repeatedly.
However, the key to refining this kind of talisman does not lie in talisman cultivation, but in instrument cultivation. The current spiritual branches do not have such ability, so they cannot help Nanwang.
Apart from the special nature of the red talisman itself, the characters on the talismans are also extremely special.
Nan Wang looked through all the talismans and jade slips in his hands, but could not find the corresponding talisman characters. Without the talisman characters, he could not be sure of the effects of these talismans.
But... this is not a big problem.
He could use Mu Yuanyao's talisman as a template and draw one exactly the same. After using it, he would know what the talisman's function was.
After failing several times, Nanwang successfully completed the talisman making.
When he got the finished product, a guess suddenly popped up in Nan Wang's mind.
He vaguely felt that this kind of talisman might not exist in any talisman-making jade slip, because... because this might be an original talisman created by Mu Yuanyao.
He had indeed heard of a saying that top-level talisman practitioners were not restricted to talismans that had already been published and proven to be effective, but could create talismans as they pleased and create their own original talismans to achieve the effects they wanted.
This spell may be just like that.
Nan Wang hesitantly input spiritual energy into the talisman.
Nothing happened.
really……
This talisman does not correspond to a certain fixed effect, but was created by the person who made the talisman to achieve his own purpose.
He didn't know the other party's purpose, so he couldn't activate the spell.
The talisman wrapped around the Guantian Sword is actually part of the sword and does not exist in the form of a talisman, so it can be used without being activated.
It seems that Mu Yuanwei's achievements in the art of talismans have obviously reached the pinnacle. Apart from anything else, he is at least much better than him.
Not only that, Mu Yuanyao even has a unique skill in refining weapons...
If Mu Yuanyao had not betrayed his sect, he might have become another legend of Qingyun Sect besides Chu Songping.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
Mu Yuanyao not only left Qingyun Sect, but also became the protagonist's aide in the later part of the original novel, leading 100,000 ghost corpses to the mountain to slaughter all the members of Qingyun Sect...
When he thought of such a future, Nan Wang couldn't help but sigh.
He threw aside the talisman he had drawn and tore a red talisman from the scabbard of the Guantian Sword.
Before making a contract with the natal sword, he wanted to find out as much as possible about the red symbol on the sword.
In order to prevent any accidents, Nanwang specially put the Guantian Sword back into the storage bag, and then slowly injected spiritual energy into the talisman.
With the infusion of spiritual energy, the red talisman trembled slowly, gradually became hot, and then it whooshed into Nanwang's storage bag and stuck back to the scabbard of the Guantian Sword.
Nanwang: “…”
No wonder he was able to destroy the Qingyun Sect. Mu Yuanyao's level is indeed very high.
Just as Nan Wang was about to take out the Guantian Sword again, his eyes suddenly fell on the letter paper that appeared on the table at some point in time.
Hmm? What is this?
The red letter paper lay quietly on the table, as if it had always been there.
But Nanwang was absolutely sure that this thing must have just appeared.
Could it be... that it fell out of the Guantian Sword?
No way, this Guantian Sword has been checked by Senior Sister and the others, how could it have slipped through the net?
Full of doubts, Nan Wang picked up the letter and turned it over to take a look.
The next second, Nan Wang suddenly stood up from the cushion.
The bits and pieces on the table fell to the ground, making a crackling sound.
"Chichichi?"
What's wrong?
An Nuo, who was lying on the edge of the table, immediately turned over and climbed up, jumped into Nan Wang's arms, and stretched out his paws to scratch Nan Wang's palm.
Nan Wang immediately clenched his hands and crumpled the piece of letter paper into a ball.
He said to An Nuo in a serious tone: "You can't look at it."
"?"
Annuo was stunned at first, then he started to chirp in dissatisfaction.
“I’m sorry, but this really won’t work.”
Nanwang threw the letter into the storage bag, then hugged An Nuo in his arms and kissed him soothingly.
“Bang!”
An Nuo slapped Nan Wang on the chin and turned his head away, rejecting his approach.
Nanwang tried a few times, but found that he couldn't kiss the rabbit who refused, so he had to compromise:
"Okay, okay, I'll show it to you, but I'm going to tear out one sentence."
He took out the letter from the storage bag again, held An Nuo with one hand and pinched the letter with the other hand, lowered his head and tore off the top fifth of the letter with his teeth, and finally gave the remaining four fifths to An Nuo.
An Nuo took the letter unhappily and unfolded it.
There are three lines of words on the incomplete letter paper:
If you want to know the truth
Ghost Corpse Cult No Song
Waiting for you
An Nuo estimated that the part that Nan Wang tore off was not much, just one sentence at most.
One sentence... should be fine, right?
The broad-minded Tutu did not continue to reject Nanwang's kiss, but still had some complaints:
“Chichichi.”
But I am your rabbit, how can you not be honest with me!
"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll stew some pig's trotters for you later, okay?"
Nan made a promise.
“Chichichi.”
That's more like it.
“Chichichi!”
I want it spicy!
"No problem. All up to you."
Seeing that he had finally coaxed An Nuo into submission, Nan Wang breathed a sigh of relief.
He still held the one-fifth of the letter in his hand.
There was only one sentence on the piece of letter, but it was a sentence... he couldn't let anyone, not even An Nuo, see it.
At this moment, the thought that occupied his mind was no longer about transforming the Guantian Sword into his Fate Sword, but rather -
He must go to the Ghost Corpse Cult and meet Mu Yuanyao.
He comes from the modern age of the 21st century, which is a scientific world where nothing super-realistic happens.
But, it's different here.
This is the world of immortal cultivation, a place with all kinds of spells, formations, talismans, and even the ability to resurrect the dead.
He had read many stories about traveling to another world in his own world. In order to deal with the devil, the human king asked the magician to summon heroes from another world. For the heroes, traveling through time might be an accident caused by a car accident, but for the magicians, the heroes were the products of their summons and an inevitable result.
Nan Wang had thought more than once that his time travel might not be accidental.
However, after staying in Qingyun Sect for so long, he had never heard of anything like this.
Not only that, he even discovered that his situation was called "self-recruitment" in the famous and upright sects, and it was a means of using other people's bodies to revive or reincarnate.
Every time a plunder is carried out, an innocent person is sacrificed.
To the righteous monks, this is an extremely vile act that only the evil cult would use, sacrificing innocent people for their own survival.
Because the secret method of snatching a body is too vicious, various problems may arise when it is used. It is possible that the person will lose his memory, have memory confusion, or even attract other wandering ghosts to take over innocent bodies due to the failure of the secret method.
Nanwang hoped that he was not in any of the above situations, but if this was the case, he would have no choice but to accept it.
The days of peace had lasted for too long, and Nanwang was almost forgetting what he once worried about.
Until this moment, all the clues are connected and all the worries come back.
The reason why he couldn't get any clues from Qingyun Sect was because his secret, his identity, his original sin... were not in Qingyun Sect, but in the Demon Sect.
Mu Yuanyao's note explained everything.
Including the words that Nanwang tore off, the entire note actually reads as follows:
A Person from Another World
If you want to know the truth
Ghost Corpse Cult No Song
Waiting for you
…
After making up his mind to go to the northern demon world for training, Nan Wang went to the Sword Sect to report the matter to Du Xueling.
He was not in a hurry to leave now. His current strength was not enough to go out for experience. Besides, Lingzhi had his own money-making plan. He had to at least see that his plan was on track before he could leave.
It's just that it's better to say some things in advance than to wait until the last minute.
Du Xueling was not surprised by Nan Wang's decision.
When Nan Wang started to make talismans, everyone knew that he would have to go to the demon world sooner or later.
Du Xueling said, "Recently, many outer sect disciples have been promoted to the inner sect. The Sword Sect will arrange for the eldest disciple to teach the new disciples the art of sword control. If you are willing, you can learn from them. It is always convenient to learn sword control when you are away from home. Your third senior brother and I both have some connections with the Demon Sect. If you have no place to stay after you go there, we can arrange something for you."
Listening to Du Xueling's sincere care, Nan Wang felt as heavy as if a stone was pressing on his heart. For a moment, he even wanted to confess his undercover identity to Du Xueling.
But he thought about it again and again and still couldn't speak.
Wait a little longer, wait until he is sure of his identity and the reason for his time travel, then confess...
"Oh, Senior Sister, I have a mental method that I want to ask you if you know it. It's called the Method of Transforming Poor into Strong."
"I remember the strange method of transforming strength..."
Du Xueling thought for a moment, and suddenly his expression changed drastically.
"Why would you ask, ask this...thing?"
She didn't even say the word "heart method".
Nan Wang lied, "I also heard about this mental method by accident. I felt that it was destined for me, so I wanted to ask."
Du Xueling stared at Nan Wang for a moment, then her face suddenly turned red and she stammered:
"Fourth Junior Brother, you, you are still young, so for the time being, you should not look at this, this special pair... ahem, a special mental method is better... If you, if you really have special needs in that area, our righteous sect also has relatively normal ones... No, no, no, I'm not saying that you are abnormal, it's just..."
"You are going to the Demon Sect's territory, so you should focus on cultivation and not be misled by the evil ways. As for the strange and strange methods of strengthening the body, it is better for you not to learn about them."
Du Xueling's face turned pale, and she instantly turned back into the expressionless senior sister of Qingyun Sect.
Nanwang: “???”
Isn't the Qiongqi Huajin Method an important method of the Hehuan Sect?
Listening to the description of the senior sister, it doesn't seem like a serious method...
