Ascension failed, the system took me away
Chapter 287: Inheriting the lost art, innovating the method
A place by the river.
With a puff, two figures emerged from the ground.
One of them was Song Yingxing. Despite being covered in mud, he stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Taoist Zhiqiu, for saving my life."
The person who saved him was the Taoist priest who had given him the amulet before.
But I didn't expect to meet again so soon.
The Taoist priest named Zhiqiu was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties.
At this moment, he was lying on the ground, panting, and seemed to be very tired.
Hearing this, he waved his hands and said, "People of my generation who practice cultivation should slay demons and eliminate evil. How can we sit idly by when demons harm people?"
"I had already figured out that you would be targeted by the demon, so I gave you a life-saving talisman, but I didn't expect to encounter such a powerful snake demon."
Taoist Zhiqiu sounded very pleased with himself and was very confident in his divination skills.
But before he could be proud for long, his expression suddenly changed.
Then a strange voice was heard: "Taoist, did you calculate that you would die today?"
Taoist Zhiqiu stood up with a somersault, grabbed Song Yingxing and ran away underground again.
In the past, when he encountered this kind of monster, he would definitely fight. If he could defeat it, he would kill the monster. If he couldn't, he would run away.
But now the main purpose is to save lives.
Having an ordinary person by his side would make him feel restrained during a fight, which would greatly limit his performance.
And it seems that this snake demon is not so easy to kill.
It's better to leave first.
However, as a human cultivator, even though he has inherited the sect's magic, his methods are quite good.
But in terms of accumulated magical power, he cannot compare with this old monster.
The pursuit is mainly a game of mana consumption.
It's simply a competition between your own weaknesses and the enemy's strengths.
Taoist Zhiqiu was still very young, his magical powers were not strong, and his endurance was not long enough, so his speed of escaping underground soon slowed down.
Song Yingxing also noticed this and could not help but persuade him: "Master Zhiqiu, please let me go. If we continue like this..."
"Stop talking nonsense, I will definitely save you!" Taoist Zhiqiu interrupted directly.
But his forehead had already started to sweat, and he was still holding on.
Seeing this scene, Song Yingxing felt guilty.
"Am I really worthy of saving for having implicated such a chivalrous man? I have read hundreds of books, but none of them can be used at this critical moment. A useless scholar is..."
Negative thoughts surfaced, but were instantly suppressed.
He understood that at this time, any unfavorable thoughts would hold him back.
It doesn't matter if I die, but if I cause the death of the Taoist priest who saved my life, I will die with regret.
So I began to review what I had learned in my life, to see if there was any knowledge that could help me.
……
Above the sky, Bai Qin watched all this quietly.
In his eyes, this snake demon is nothing but a small thing that can be destroyed with just a thought.
However, he did not attack directly because he was experimenting with a different power system.
The heaven disappeared, the gods and Buddhas no longer appeared, so this system of practice that was constructed with the goal of ascending to heaven also had drawbacks.
The entire system is full of errors and loopholes and is no longer suitable for today's era.
Bai Xin extracted the useful parts of this old method, and the rest was swept directly into the trash.
Based on the essence of this old law, a completely new system has been developed, but it is still in an imperfect stage.
Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen were the first to try the new method.
Yan Chixia, who has attained Taoism, does not need to disperse his skills and start over.
Because the most essential and useful parts of the old laws are all in the basic stages, and the useless parts that carry the private goods of the Heavenly Court are located above them.
Ning Caichen also fulfilled his previous dream of pursuing immortality. After a while, he will be able to fly on the wind with a sword and roam freely in the world.
In addition to the new laws, Bai Xin also educated them on ideological concepts.
By using accelerated thinking, they can complete several years of courses in one hour and shape their concepts for the future new era.
After they finish their studies, they are given four runes as graduation certificates and then released to cause trouble.
After separating from the two people, he found Song Yingxing, but he didn't expect another person to appear.
Kunlun sorcerer, knows the autumn leaf.
This character does not exist in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, but is an original character in the movie A Chinese Ghost Story.
This guy is considered a talented cultivator, having learned quite a few techniques at such a young age.
It’s just that some spells sometimes work and sometimes don’t, and they consume a lot of energy.
The earth escape technique that Zhiqiu Yiye is currently using is actually not a profound technique, it is very simple, but it consumes mana at an incredibly fast rate.
In Bai Xin's opinion, this is a very cost-effective escape technique, and it is not as useful as sticking two magic talismans on the legs.
These are all loopholes caused by the disappearance of Heaven, one of which is that it causes abnormalities in some magic techniques.
A large part of the Taoist techniques will add a phrase "hurry up and obey the order" at the end of the formula.
Because many of the techniques are inherited from the Heavenly Palace and are derivative variations of the technique of summoning gods.
For example, Yan Chixia's "The sky and the earth are boundless, the universe borrows the power" is a series of magic techniques that use borrowed power.
Adding 'Urgent as the order' means that it is urgent to kill monsters now, and please give me the buff quickly.
The borrowed magic power comes from the system established by Heaven.
Now that the source is missing, loopholes will naturally appear in the borrowing method.
The missing part can only be filled by the caster himself, so the consumption is very large.
At this time, Zhiqiu Yiye had already started taking drugs to restore his magic power, but it seemed that he would not be able to hold on for long.
He wanted to run all the way to a safe place where there were human sects.
Song Yingxing, who was being led by him, had his brain racing, constantly reviewing what he had learned.
In this critical moment, I calmed down and entered a state of enlightenment.
Seeing that the time had come, Bai Xin chuckled.
"The road ahead is long and arduous. I will continue to explore. I will give you a BUFF."
A three-dimensional rune flew out and silently sank into Song Yingxing's sea of consciousness.
At this moment, Song Yingxing's mind entered a high-speed state, his thoughts became extremely clear, and everything he had learned in his life came to mind.
Countless pieces of knowledge are like scattered stars transformed into orderly lights of thousands of homes.
One thing after another flashed through my mind.
Plow, Kongming lantern, equatorial mixer, curved plow, water-powered astronomical observatory, odometer, abacus, compass, gunpowder, printing, papermaking...
The creations of the ancient sages imitated nature, and they continued to flow in Song Yingxing's hearts. Song Yingxing saw the wisdom of the birth process.
These are inventions and creations made by our ancestors based on their observations of the world and their life experiences.
It is an important process in the development of human civilization.
Song Yingxing's thoughts traced back all the way, as if he was dreaming back to ancient times and saw the first ancestor of mankind.
Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, Youchao built a nest with wood, Cangjie invented characters, Leizu spun silk, Fuxi drew hexagrams, Emperor Ku observed the celestial phenomena and gave the time, Zhuanxu created the calendar, Lishou created numbers, Linglun created musical scales, Yushun made pottery, and Boyi built wells...
At this moment, his spirit resonated highly with the wisdom of human creation.
He felt something in his heart and realized it.
A small flame lit up between the eyebrows, like a weak candle, but it has the will to seek, unyielding and endless.
Zhiqiu Yiye also noticed this strange change. How could an ordinary person with no Taoist skills suddenly become extraordinary?
But before he had time to think about it, two white lights penetrated the ground and stabbed at him from behind.
They were two snow-white snake fangs, the tips flashing with cold light, extremely sharp.
Zhiqiu Yiye's magic power was greatly depleted and he had no time to cast any defensive spells. He pulled Song Yingxing and turned around, narrowly avoiding the attacking snake's fangs.
But in the perception of divine consciousness, the two white lights turned around and stabbed back.
At this moment when the old strength has been exhausted and the new strength has not yet been generated, Zhiqiu Yiye can no longer respond.
Seeing the snake's fangs suddenly approaching, it was so close that it was about to pierce through the two men.
Suddenly, a curtain of light rose up with a clang, blocking the snake's fangs from thrusting.
The snake's fang was stuck on it, and only the two tips of the fang could penetrate without going any further.
Zhiqiu Yiye looked at Song Yingxing with a look of amazement: "What kind of magic is this? How can you perform it if you have no magic power?"
Song Yingxing's eyebrows flickered with flames, his eyes deep: "Youchao built nests with wood to protect people from the harm of beasts, insects and snakes. The power of our ancestors has been passed down to us. If you understand it, you will get it!"
"What do you mean by enlightenment..." Zhiqiu Yiye was confused and deeply shocked.
I studied Taoism in Kunlun for many years and suffered countless hardships before I mastered this skill.
This older scholar said that he had understood something and he knew it immediately.
This person really cannot be compared to other people. The gap between them is even greater than that between people and dogs.
At this moment, the tip of the snake's fang that penetrated the light curtain changed, and black mist spewed out.
"Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs to protect people from diseases and poisons."
Song Yingxing's words came true, a ray of green light flashed, and the black fog instantly disappeared.
Then he broke out of the ground, stretched out his hand, and an ancient longbow appeared in his palm.
He drew his bow and an icy arrow gathered and pointed directly at the snake demon that was chasing him in the black fog.
"Yi shot down nine suns to save people from the suffering of the burning heat. How can you, a worm or snake, be compared to the Golden Crow?"
