Chapter 198 Magic Patterns, Runes and Arrays
Over the past week, Bell has selected a lot of books on the one hand, and plans to buy them all, and read them slowly after returning home.On the other hand, he also has a certain understanding of the overall situation of the monks in Huaguo.
First of all, regarding the history of the monks in Huaguo, Bell found that... there is nothing special about it.
For some reason, the history of China in this world is not much different from Bell's previous life in general.At most, the names of dynasties are different, or the time of events is different.
The only difference is that some feudal legends in the previous life are basically good things done by monks in this world.
But this is just Bell's subjective feeling.After all, his historical grades are not good, and he has been hovering around the passing line.
To use a more fashionable description, after each exam, Bell's historical grades are like "Schrödinger's cat". He will never know whether he has passed or failed before the papers are handed out. .
Apart from the history, Bell's biggest gain is to have a clearer understanding of Huaguo's cultivation system.
In terms of the source of power, there is no difference between monks and wizards, they all come from the innate magic power in the body.It's just that monks call it 'spiritual power'.
But in terms of spells, especially high-level and large-scale spells, there is a clear difference from magic spells.
When wizards use some difficult spells, if they just rely on the instinctive reaction of magic power, it will easily lead to problems such as failure to cast spells, excessive consumption of magic power, and difficult manipulation.
The ancient wizards discovered the existence of the 'magic pattern' through the research and observation of magical creatures.
The so-called magic pattern is actually not a tall thing.They are just some patterns that are naturally formed on the bodies or bones of some magical creatures.
The first wizards used magic to imitate these patterns to help them cast their magic.
With continuous exploration and research, these runes were continuously classified and simplified, and finally formed the 'rune' system used by modern wizards.
The same as ancient wizards, ancient monks, or should they be called Taoists at that time?Also facing the same problem.
Therefore, the Taoist priests also found a solution to the problem from the magical creatures-magic patterns.
It's just because of the difference in the language system, in Huaguo, these magic lines eventually evolved into formations.
Compared with western runes, it is easier to cast spells, but its action time is short, so it is more suitable for single-player use.Although Huaguo's formation has the disadvantages of being difficult to cast and taking a long time, once the formation is deployed, it can maintain itself for a long time.
For example, in order to prevent ordinary people from spreading the concept of hatred of extraordinary beings to the Central Plains, the monks built a huge array - the "Kyushu Guardian Array" to prevent the entry of Western wizards.This formation has been functioning normally even today, thousands of years later.
It was also at this time that Bell realized why there was no door key passage connecting Europe and China.
In order to open a space channel connecting the inside and outside on the Kyushu Guardian Array, the manpower, material resources and time required are very huge.
In addition to the long maintenance time, the formation method has another advantage, that is, it is good at the integration of power.
For wizards, most of the time they use magic alone.And when necessary, 3 or 5 people can cast spells jointly.
If you want to increase the number of joint casters to more than 10, unless you are led by a wizard with extremely high magical attainments, it is almost impossible to succeed.
This can be seen from the battle between Grindelwald and Voldemort, the two Dark Lords before and after.The wizards are fighting in melee most of the time, fighting each other.
And when the monks use the power of the formation, they can even gather the power of hundreds or even thousands of people to fight against the enemy together.Several powerful devils in the history of Huaguo were basically suppressed by this kind of formation.
No wonder Grindelwald never entered Huaguo, or even the borders around Huaguo, when he was raging all over the world.If he was not careful and crashed into any big formation, Dumbledore might not have the chance to play.
Of course, an alliance of hundreds or even thousands requires not only a strong formation as support, but also long-term training and adaptation.
However, if it is only a combination of a dozen or dozens of people, it will be much simpler.Even people who have never met before, with the traction and assistance of the formation, it only takes a short time to gather their spiritual power to fight against the enemy.
So in general, in low-level duels, wizards have an advantage in casting speed.But if it is a group battle, probably the wizards will be pressed to the ground and rubbed.
As for the high level?Those differences don't really matter that much.Different routes lead to the same goal.
In addition to spells, Bell also figured out what was going on with the 'kung fu' that he had been curious about before.
The first thing to emphasize is that only monks can practice exercises.According to the Huaguo monk circle, one must have a 'spiritual root' in one's body.
The second thing to emphasize is that exercises are not actually a way to cultivate spiritual power.It is actually the third means of using spells discovered by monks besides flying swords and talismans.
Moreover, wizards actually have this method, but no one has systematically summarized it.
So having said so much, what exactly is the practice?
In fact, Bell has been listed as the primary research target since he was very young, "Magically Strengthening the Body".
There are not many types of exercises in Huaguo, and the cultivation methods are similar.
The first step in practicing exercises is to open up the sea of qi in the dantian.
The function of Dantian Qihai is to provide a place for spiritual power to change its nature after receiving the monk's thoughts.
The monks chose the location of Dantian Qihai at the Shan (dàn) acupoint on the chest.Because it is not only protected by the sternum, but also located in the space between the two lungs.In this way, even if the spiritual power is not well controlled during the practice of the exercises, it is not easy to damage the fragile internal organs.
After the dantian qi sea is successfully developed, the second step is to strengthen the meridians.
After the spiritual power has completed its nature change in the dantian qi sea, it still needs to be released outside the body in order to truly form a spell.
In order not to harm the human body by the spiritual power that has completed the nature change, the monks chose to strengthen certain meridians individually to create a fixed pathway for the passage of spiritual power.
And after completing these two steps, it means that a skill has been cultivated successfully.The next thing to do is to continuously strengthen the dantian qi sea and continue to strengthen the meridians.
