Chapter 207: Draw a Line to Make a Prison (Thanks to the book friend Qilixiang live for the reward)
After Emperor Xia saw off the leaders of the five major immortal sects, he heard the call from his ancestor, asking him to go to the forbidden area as he had important matters to tell him.
"Ancestor, what's the matter?" Emperor Xia came to the forbidden area and bowed respectfully to the ancestor.
After waiting for a long time, Emperor Xia still didn't get any response from his ancestor, so he secretly raised his head.
When he raised his head, he saw the old man's fake smile and subconsciously took a few steps back.
"I heard that you just encouraged Yunzhi to teach me a lesson?"
Emperor Xia was shocked. The palace was shrouded in a fairy formation. Only he and Yunzhi were present. How did the ancestor know about this? !
"Nonsense! I was the one who set up the Immortal Formation, so of course I can listen to it however I want!"
"You little brat, I think I didn't beat you enough when you were a child!" The old ancestor stretched out his big hand and pinched Emperor Xia into the forbidden area.
"Grandpa, please be gentle. You watched me grow up. If you hit me, the pain will come to you!"
"Don't worry, my heart is as strong as iron!"
Soon, shrill screams were heard from the forbidden area.
It is no wonder that there are rumors in the palace that there are immortal ominous creatures suppressed in the forbidden area. The ominous creatures are often destroyed by the formation and make miserable wails.
Of course, there were also eunuchs and palace maids who said that it might have been Emperor Xia who shouted, but this speculation was extremely disrespectful and did not spread widely.
Even if it spreads, people will probably think it is a rumor.
…
"Brother Lu, do you want to learn new spells? Senior Brother Ji Hongwen will teach you." Lu Yang was practicing sword in a neat white outfit when Man Gu came up to him, and with him was Meng Jingzhou.
"I was also called here by Man Gu." Meng Jingzhou explained with a smile. Why not learn one more spell? "Why did Senior Brother Ji Hongwen think of teaching us spells?" Lu Yang was surprised.
Ji Hongwen is the eldest disciple of the fourth Confucian elder. He is good at painting and his cultivation is comparable to that of his senior brother Dai Bufan.
"Oh, that's right." Man Gu explained, "I think the fighting of Confucianists should be more elegant. Fighting with a big hammer like me is not a normal Confucian move, so I want to learn some elegant spells."
Lu Yang looked at Man Gu in surprise and was struck by her beauty.
Could it be that Man Gu is about to break the curse cast on the barbarians by the Immortal Fairy? Congratulations! Congratulations!
"Besides, my hammer has been sent to Li Haoran for upgrading. I can't practice hammer skills for a while, so I might as well find something else to do."
"Then I found Senior Brother Ji and asked if he could teach me one or two Confucian magics. He said yes. I asked if I could ask you two to learn together, and he said yes. So I came to find you and Brother Meng."
Lu Yang nodded: "That's thoughtful."
Man Gu quickly said, "Brother Lu, what are you talking about? I have learned a lot from you and Brother Meng. I am just taking advantage of the situation and letting Senior Brother Ji teach you as he taught me."
Meng Jingzhou patted Man Gu's shoulder and said, "That's called going with the flow."
"Brother Meng is still very knowledgeable."
Meng Jingzhou: “…”
The three of them came to the bamboo forest. Senior Brother Ji Hongwen was dozing off in the pavilion. As soon as the three of them stepped into the bamboo forest, he woke up.
Lu Yang shook his head. This sleep quality was far worse than that of the Immortal Fairy.
The Immortal Fairy is still sleeping now, and she is sleeping soundly.
"Are you here?" Senior Brother Ji greeted with a smile.
"Hello, Senior Brother Ji!" The three of them bowed and said in unison.
Senior Brother Ji put on a serious expression: "Junior Brother Man Gu asked me to teach him a Confucian magic. Of course, it's fine. However, Confucian magic is always difficult to learn, and you may not be able to learn it. You three are all geniuses, and I hope you won't be discouraged even if you can't learn it."
Man Gu has full confidence in Lu Yang: "Brother Lu's magic talent is far superior to mine, he will definitely be able to learn it!"
Senior Brother Ji shook his head and laughed, thinking that what Man Gu said was too exaggerated.
Apart from the eldest sister, who can guarantee that they will definitely learn the magic they are studying? "The magic I am teaching you is called Drawing a Prison on the Ground."
"You must have all heard of this spell. All you need to do is draw a circle on the ground and you can confine the opponent inside the circle. Combined with fierce attack methods, the opponent will have nowhere to escape and must endure your attack!"
The three people's eyes lit up, they didn't expect it to be this spell. The magic of drawing a prison on the ground is quite famous.
Just by drawing a circle, he could trap the opponent. How graceful! This is a first-class immortal technique! "Let me show you."
Senior Brother Ji stretched out a finger and used his hand as a pen to gently draw a circle around Lu Yang and the other two. The three of them then found themselves blocked by an invisible barrier and unable to leave.
Man Gu and Meng Jingzhou tried to break the barrier with brute force, but to no avail.
Lu Yang wanted to use the technique of shrinking the earth to leave underground, but he hit the ground hard and failed.
"Haha, this is a prison made of lines drawn on the ground." Senior Brother Ji cancelled the circle casually.
"If you want to learn how to draw a circle on the ground, you must first be able to draw a circle with your bare hands, and secondly, remember the formula."
Senior Brother Ji asked the three to draw a circle. The circles they drew were crooked, like a circle formed by several caterpillars.
"Look at what you drew, it looks like an egg." Meng Jingzhou laughed at Lu Yang.
Lu Yang glanced at Meng Jingzhou's painting and said, "You are not as good as me. Your painting looks like a tea egg."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
"Tea eggs are more valuable than your eggs."
“It’s also troublesome to do.”
The point of their argument gradually strayed away from painting.
"Practice more. It's not difficult for a cultivator to control his body to draw pictures." Senior Brother Ji reminded the three of them, and Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou stopped their meaningless quarrel.
Just as Senior Brother Ji said, as long as you consciously control your body, you will be able to draw a circle with your hands very quickly.
"I will teach you another formula. Listen carefully. You must not only remember the words, but also the tone of each word!"
"You can't enter, you can't oppose..."
The three of them listened attentively, trying hard to remember every word and every tone of the word. After several failed attempts, they finally remembered them all.
"The last and most difficult part is that you must thoroughly understand the formula and naturally transform it into a spiritual energy circulation route in your body before you can successfully cast a spell!"
Ji Hongwen warned the three people not to be lazy in learning how to draw a circle on the ground to make a prison.
Man Gu recited the incantation silently and tried to draw a circle on the ground to make a prison. He circled himself again and again but never succeeded.
Meng Jingzhou is stronger than Man Gu, probably because he has better comprehension. After trying it many times, he was able to occasionally form an invisible cage with a few circles, but the success rate was too low, so he certainly couldn't use it in actual combat now.
"You don't have to be anxious. I was in the Jindan stage when I first learned this spell. Even so, it took me five days to master it." Ji Hongwen was afraid of discouraging the three of them, so he actually learned it in just two days.
"See how Lu Yang is doing?"
At this time, Lu Yang closed his eyes and repeated the formula over and over again in his mind. He imagined himself as the person who created the spell, and imagined what kind of mentality he had when he created this spell.
Lu Yang opened his eyes, his eyes bright and sharp.
"I know how to do it!" Lu Yang was full of confidence and calm, like a master who had practiced martial arts for fifty years. He came to the ring and defeated the strong enemy while chatting and laughing.
Lu Yang's voice attracted the attention of Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu. They stopped practicing and wanted to see Lu Yang's situation.
Could Lu Yang succeed in one try? Even though Man Gu thought Brother Lu had amazing magical talent, he didn't think Lu Yang could succeed.
At least practice a few more times.
Lu Yang followed Brother Ji's example, stretched out his index finger, and drew a perfect circle around himself.
"Draw a line on the ground to make a prison!"
Then Lu Yang noticed that the surrounding scenery changed.
It was dim and silent. The pillars trapped him and there was thick earth above his head.
This is a dungeon.
Lu Yang: "...So what I learned is to draw dungeons?"
