Chapter 7 Experts
Xu Fan pondered for a while before murmuring, then rubbed his eyebrows with a little confused one hand and stroked Xiao Hei who was lying in the grass beside him with the other hand, his face full of incredibleness.
What he called "calling and waiting" was a kind of thing similar to the combination of a kite and a Kongming lantern, and it was very historical.
Kites were first used in military affairs in ancient times and were a tool for conveying messages, and the same was true for Kongming lanterns.
The floating Kongming lantern that Xu Fan saw also has some special uses in traditional metaphysics, even the so-called "calling and waiting".
There are usually two uses of this "calling".
One usage is that when someone in the local area is killed and is tainted by evil objects or filth, he usually asks alchemists (or becomes Taoist priests, methods, techniques, and Taoism to be inherited from the same lineage, with different names and slightly different, but not much) to eliminate the harm.
But manpower is exhausted.
Whenever those invited alchemists are unable to solve the problem, they will ignite such a Kongming lantern led by a rope, marking the symbols represented by the troubles they encounter, hoping to be seen by the passers-by and help.
The second usage is to use this thing to realize a relatively ancient Taoist technique called "Please Heaven Talisman".
The so-called request for heaven is to paste the Taoist talisman on the "Summoning Wave" and hang it on the sky to soak it with the spiritual energy from a high place, and use the meaning of approaching the "Heaven Palace" to seek the power of heaven.
However, with the development of science and technology and the progress of the times, the sky of the human world has gradually been occupied by tall buildings. In addition, various electromagnetic interferences are complicated, this complex and slightly backward method has gradually been forgotten, including most people in the alchemy.
However, there are too many capable masters in this world, not all of them are in Xuanqing Academy, so Xu Fan was both surprised and took it for granted when he saw "Calling Hou" here.
Surprisingly, people can use this kind of ancient technique. Of course, after the news here is spread, there will naturally be talented people outside the academy to check it out.
What he is thinking now is whether this person is asking for help or asking for talismans?
Speaking of this, Xu Fan's thoughts are not unreasonable.
Although he is a child of Xuan Qing, he is also a part of the devil-reducing and demon-eliminating process.
There are rules for the industry. Any case that someone takes over is not necessary, outsiders are not allowed to interfere easily, otherwise it will be a disturbance.
There are still some rules in this world, although he is an academic school.
If this traditional "master" is asking for talismans, then he will rashly intervene in other people's affairs, which will be a provocation.
Although he is not afraid of anyone at all, he also has the basic principles of being a human being and respect for this industry rules. So, wait for it first.
...
Six hours ago, just over an hour after Xu Fan left the town.
At the entrance of Caijia Town, two young men in dark blue uniforms were frowning at the deserted town.
Beside the two, a huge iron plate with a little rust was erected, with the words "Danger, no entry" written on it.
The newspaper garbage scattered on the street and all kinds of dark blood stains indicate that this is not a good place.
"Don't this guy know that it's a penalty area? He's really fucking asking for death! If his surname wasn't Wei, I would have been proposed to the team long ago." One of the men with a slightly fat figure said with complaints.
"Okay, OK, that Bandage Clan is wanted by Class D. Wei Jun is very dangerous alone. If something happens to him, it will be our brothers who are unlucky. Let's go, the speed is faster."
The thinner young man urged and took the lead in stepping into this "Caijia Town" listed as a death penalty by the Lingji Bureau.
I don't know what happened in this town last year, but it turned into hell overnight, and most of the people in the city died.
If it weren't for the guys from Xuanqing Academy, no one would have survived. The Lingchi Bureau seemed to have investigated this matter, but those were all confidential news, so naturally these two people were unknown.
After that, the survivors were moved out by the Chinese government, and this place became a dead city.
"I heard that the Ghost King's clone appeared here again. It was an S-level existence. Moreover, there are so many strange and dangerous things in this place. If it cannot be found before dark, we must withdraw!"
The slightly fat young man said loudly as if he was reminding himself.
"Okay, go quickly!"
Three hours later, in the narrow alley, the two discovered the "Wei Army".
But the man is dead.
He died at the entrance of this alley, as if he was attacked by some huge force.
"But this injury is not fatal. The key is that his soul is gone. How could it be that good-looking soul?"
The thin young man looked at the once familiar corpse on the ground with a pale face and asked in a trembling tone.
"It's over, it's over." The slightly fat young man looked at the corpse and kept muttering as if he hadn't heard him.
"If you want to report this matter, you must report it to the captain! Lift up the body and leave!"
...
After making up his mind, Xu Fan squatted on the tree branch for half an hour, he finally made up his mind to make up something.
This "calling" is used to ask for talismans, not to ask for help.
Because the "call" was taken back just now.
While Kongming Lantern was shaking, Xu Fan finally saw the object on the other side of Kongming Lantern facing away from him - three or four talismans.
Because he was shaking harder, he couldn't count it.
"Master? The first time I saw someone ask for three or four talismans at a time."
Xu Fan tightened his clothes and jumped off the tree branch. While moving his legs, he was breathing in the fresh air in the mountains, trying to "purify himself" as much as possible in the past few days.
According to what he knows, "Please Heavenly Talisman" can usually only be invited one at a time to show respect for God.
This time, three or four pictures are definitely masters or newbies.
If he was a master, Xu Fan would be even more reluctant to intervene in other people's situation easily.
Some people may say that this is cowardly or pedantic, but people like Xu Fan who have a strange personality will not care about other people's opinions.
Pediatric?
When you see my crazy side, you will ignore these things.
Xu Fan stopped talking to the non-existent "others" and found a hay nest with peace of mind.
After sprinkling some medicine powder for deworming and snake removal around, he took out his sleeping bag from his backpack, set up a simple tent with a tent cloth and a tree branch, and then hugged Xiao Hei and went in.
"Sleep for a night, get up again in the middle of the night."
With Xiao Hei by his side, Xu Fan dared to sleep in the deep mountains and forests, otherwise no one would have chosen camping sites like him.
After sleeping until midnight, Xu Fan was woken up by the alarm clock that had been set long ago.
He reluctantly came out of the warm sleeping bag, and he was so cold that he jumped straight from the cold air in the mountains.
After looking at the village at the foot of the mountain, there was still no movement. He turned his head to look at the simple tent, hesitated for a moment, and began to organize things.
"It's so bad to sleep in this place, grandpa goes down to sleep."
He muttered, muttering, preparing his backpack and rubbing his sore back.
"Let's go Xiao Hei."
