After a while, the toad hopped up and down into the water, and disappeared without a trace. Lu Dangfeng got up slowly and walked in front of Lu Sheng.
"Okay, come on, follow me. The guardians have already forgiven your rudeness. As long as you prepare enough gifts later, they will help you solve the trouble of leaking."
"En." Lu Sheng didn't understand why, but at this moment he nodded as Lu Zhong did.
He stood up, knelt down and sat down in front of the candles again like Lu Dangfeng, and followed him in every move, and he followed what Lu Dangfeng said.
He didn't know what it meant, and Lu Dangfeng didn't explain it, so Lu Sheng just memorized the syllables.
Such a sentence follows a sentence, and an action follows an action. After more than half an hour, finally, the candle burned out.
The ceremony is also completely over.
"Thanks for your hard work... You performed very well this time." Lu Dangfeng smiled. The performance of the eldest son this time made the guardians appreciate it very much. He was also in a good mood.
Lu Sheng didn't know what he did well, maybe he followed Lu Dangfeng to read all the syllables verbatim, even if he performed well this time
After the ceremony, Lu Dangfeng took Lu Sheng and bowed to the elders to bid farewell, and the two left the Liancaotang one after the other.
"Walk with me." Lu Dangfeng said softly.
"Okay..." Lu Sheng nodded. He is also very curious about this mysterious Ziyan Villa owner. Those mysterious black shadows that appeared before did not know what they were, even he didn't understand how those strange figures existed.
The father and son walked slowly on the garden path in the villa. Lu Dangfeng seemed to have opened up a conversation box, and immediately sighed and talked about the content of the ceremony.
"At first, I thought you had no hope of mastering the spirit gathering ceremony... Now it seems that maybe I was wrong. Your aptitude is better than I thought.
The guardians are very satisfied with you, and this ceremony was also very successful. They promised to help out if there is any trouble next time.
The seals we guard are also a little more secure. "
"Father, what's going on here?" Lu Sheng didn't find any secret information about this from Lu Zhong's memory, obviously this is something he really just started to get in touch with.
Lu Dangfeng smiled. "It's not a big deal. Our Ziyan Villa has been guarding an extremely terrifying, powerful, and evil seal since ancient times. Only the guardians of this seal can resist it. For us mortals, To prevent the seal from being destroyed, I thought of some ways and asked the guardians to help fight against the evil spirits that occasionally sneak out of the seal.
This is the origin of the so-called ritual. "
"Why us?" Lu Sheng asked again.
"I don't know. This is a rule passed down from our ancestors. No one can break it, and no one can doubt it. Only our family is the most suitable physique to communicate with the guardians. No one else can." Lu Dang Feng explained.
"What kind of existence is a guardian?" Lu Sheng frowned and asked again.
"They are the elves of nature, the saints in the shadows. I don't know exactly what kind of existence they are. But my father, grandpa, told me so. Just listen to it. If you are really curious , after you have practiced the spirit-gathering ceremony handed down in your family to reach the peak, you may be able to communicate with the guardians for a while to understand the situation." Lu Dangfeng smiled and shook his head.
"Every once in a while, some evil spirits will escape from the seal. Without the help of the guardians, our villa will be the first to be massacred. We have guarded the seal for too long. Once they escape, the first choice We are the ones who will take revenge. This is also the key to my reluctance to accept this mission." Lu Dangfeng said with a wry smile, "Don't even think about running away, no matter how far you run, it's useless. Our ancestors have already tried this method .”
"So, the purpose of the spirit gathering ceremony is to communicate with the guardians?" Lu Sheng asked again.
"It can be said that this ceremony includes gestures, incantations, array patterns, and many other items needed for the ceremony. Let me tell you first." Lu Dangfeng said here and started to explain the so-called spirit gathering ceremony to Lu Sheng.
The two of them are in the garden, and they are not afraid of someone eavesdropping. Even if this thing is eavesdropped, it doesn't make much sense. Only their physique can use the secret technique, even if others take it, it is meaningless.
After a little understanding, Lu Sheng probably understood what this spirit gathering ceremony was.
The spirit gathering ceremony is divided into three parts, Yin, Zheng, Yang, three parts.
Yin is the preparation part, preparation of materials, patterns, weaving gestures, mantras, choosing communication partners, etc. These are very important, especially when choosing an object, you must be careful. The guardian you choose must be strong enough, similar to the shikigami in myths and legends that Lu Sheng has learned about on Earth before. Otherwise, in the face of the evil spirits who leaked and escaped, the guardian might be defeated instead.
However, the difference between a guardian spirit and a shikigami is that the guardian spirit is a temporary employment, and a ceremony can only have a relationship with one guardian spirit. And the guardian spirit that can be encountered every time is not necessarily the same. This is purely random. This requires the temporary selection of guardian spirits strong enough to deal with the evil spirits leaked during the ceremony.
This is the first part of Yin.
The second part is positive, which is the beginning of the formal ceremony. What kind of guardian spirit needs to be sacrificed with different gifts, and at the same time, it must be suitable for it, etc., to praise it, to praise it, in short, to flatter it fart. Give a gift, and then sign a contract, so that he can help him deal with troubles.
The third part is Yang, which is the process of really dealing with evil spirits.
This part is relatively simple, you only need to learn a set of special handprint spells to communicate with the guardian spirit.
There are three parts to be learned in the entire spirit gathering ceremony, Yin Wen, Zheng Wen, and Yang Wen. The three parts are the complete inheritance of the real Ziyan Villa.
At this time, Lu Dangfeng had no reservations, explained the details to Lu Sheng one by one, and took out a book that had been prepared from his sleeve, and handed it to him, allowing him to study it carefully and memorize it completely.
Lu Sheng has such a wide range of knowledge and experience, after a little browsing, he knows the routine of this so-called spirit gathering ceremony.
Except for some gestures and patterns in the inscribed part, which are somewhat technical, the rest are very simple.
"This is purely a complex use of spiritual power. I never thought that the use of spiritual power in this world has reached such a powerful level." Lu Sheng saw many extremely complicated and profound things contained in those handprints. .
After leaving Lu Dangfeng, he went back to the yard alone and carefully studied the inscriptions on the pamphlet.
The background at the level of the Holy Lord allowed him to fully master the so-called spirit gathering ceremony in only half an hour, and he also believed that compared with the poor soul power of Lu Dangfeng and those elders, his soul power alone The strength is equivalent to hundreds of times or even more than theirs.
In the process of studying the inscriptions, Lu Sheng once again discovered a strange thing.
He discovered that Lu Zhong's physical body had exactly the same structure as his original mortal body! And his spirit power entered and exited this body without hindrance. He faintly felt that there might be some kind of big secret hidden in it.
With the study of the spirit gathering ceremony, time flies, and more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Sheng has basically understood the entire spirit gathering ceremony. To him, it is nothing more than some use of the soul. As far as his spirit at the level of the Holy Master is concerned, this is something even more pediatric than pediatrics.
During this period of time, he also began to formally restart the physical training process. This extremely weak body made him a little unbearable.
Completely proceeding from the very beginning, all this seems to have returned to the days when I was in Jiulian City.
It's just that what Lu Sheng practiced was not the martial arts in his memory, but the Shanglin swordsmanship handed down by the Lu family here.
This swordsmanship may seem superficial, but it is actually quite extraordinary. Judging from Lu Sheng's knowledge close to the master level, it can also be seen that it contains considerable actual combat power.
In addition, this body itself has a deep physical memory of Shanglin's swordsmanship, so he will start with it first.
Because he tried many times, his Yang Yuan was unable to act on this body, it seemed that it was completely caused by different rules. If he completely exploded his Yang Yuan, his power would still be there, but it would instantly destroy this fragile body.
Fortunately, the divine soul of the Holy Lord has become so powerful that it even has the initial ability to deceive reality. It can stimulate the potential of cells to the maximum, stimulate the internal organs, and exert their maximum functions. Digest food and transform it into a spiritual force that fully complies with the rules of this world. , strengthen the physical body.
In just over a year, Lu Sheng's physique has grown a lot. From the original thin and weak son, he has rapidly become strong and strong.
boom! !
"Swordsmanship of the Shanglin: Milk Swallow Piercing the Forest!"
Lu Sheng's sword smashed through the three-meter-high bluestone in front of him, and a large piece of stone debris burst out, and the muscles on his arm showed blue veins and blood vessels.
Panting heavily, he pulled out the thick black giant sword weighing more than four hundred catties from the ground.
Surrounded by stunned and dull-looking soldiers of the Lu family, there are two younger brothers and sisters, Lu Quan and Lu Zhenling, standing among them.
All of them stared straight at Lu Sheng who was practicing sword.
"The milk swallow wears the forest...."
"What the hell is this called Ruyan? Is the eldest son teasing us??"
A group of family soldiers looked at the wooden stakes and sword targets in front of them for practice, and then at the big bluestone that had been smashed and scattered all over the place, all of them were speechless.
"It's also practicing swords..." Lu Quan glanced at the finger-thick and thin sword in his hand, and then at the thick black giant sword the size of a washbasin in his elder brother's hand. There was a turbulent emotion in his heart, which should be blocked and unable to vent , There is an unknown impulse to scold mothers, I don't know how to start it... ..
Although the eldest brother ran to his father before and said that he wanted to practice martial arts and Shanglin swordsmanship hard, his father did not listen to his persuasion.
But I didn't expect how long it took... to practice like this... .
Lu Quan glanced at his elder brother's arm thicker than his own thigh from the corner of his eye, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
Lu Sheng threw the giant sword aside, took the towel tremblingly handed over by the maid, and wiped the sweat off his body.
"Weak chickens!!" He turned his eyes, stared at the soldiers not far away and roared, "Look at your swords! Each one is as thin as chopsticks, men should use these!"
call!
He grabbed the stone mill on the ground on the right side. He lifted the bathtub-sized stone mill with one hand, and his five fingers sank deeply into the edge of the stone, leaving fingerprints on it.
He waved it casually, and the stone mill suddenly made a terrifying and heavy whistling sound.
A group of family soldiers who were originally considered strong looked at their eldest son with dull eyes to demonstrate the true meaning of a man is a muscle.
A few days ago, after Lu Sheng made a sudden move to defeat the family general who was in charge of training the family soldiers in the villa, he took over the task of training the family soldiers.
So this morning's morning exercise became what it is now.
Lu Sheng looked at the family soldiers who had been suppressed by him, and his two cheap brothers and sisters. After he probably figured out all Lu Zhong's wishes, he began to deal with them one by one.
Lu Zhong's greatest wish is to protect the villa, and he does not want his father Lu Dangfeng to die young again because of the ceremony. The second is to hope that other relatives in the villa will be safe and sound.
It is impossible for Lu Sheng himself to stay here to protect everyone, so he simply started training these soldiers to improve their strength and achieve the purpose of protecting them in disguise.
He completely transformed Shanglin swordsmanship, which was originally a flamboyant swordsmanship, into a special muscular epee. With the cooperation of his spirit and soul, he had just passed the training for more than a year, and he had reached the level of single-striped swords. Horror flesh.
He has figured it out a long time ago that the so-called spirit gathering ceremony can only be used by the Lu family. In fact, it is not a messy physical problem, but that the Lu family is born with a very strong aptitude for soul power.
So he reformed Shanglin swordsmanship, so that this swordsmanship initially had the effect of training the soul. And he is going to pass on this modified swordsmanship to other people in the villa. In this way, it became a breeze to gather everyone's strength during the ceremony, share the pressure, and get the Lu family out of this vortex.
As for the other effects, it is just due to his interest. Lu Sheng has always been a concept, strength is everything, and muscles represent strength. In his aesthetic view, the harder, stronger, and more muscular is the best. of!
