"It's the wall-piercing talisman." Feng Xue identified the rune structure and finally said that the wall-piercing talisman is usually a talisman used by a rookie monk in conjunction with the "Shenxing Talisman", because the reaction speed of the rookie monk cannot keep up with the speed of the divine movement talisman, and if he doesn't open the wall-piercing talisman, he will easily be killed. However, it is not a rare use to use it as a thief.

"The wall-through talisman?" Xu Qin was stunned when she heard this. Looking at the talisman paper that had been burned to ashes, how could this uncle recognize it?

"Well, it should be just a talisman through the wall, and the path is relatively wild. Without giving the talisman, it was made with the spirit blood of the monster instead of the spirit seal." Feng Xue did not mean to explain to Xu Qin, but instead made a further judgment.

The so-called talisman is a casting prop that obtains the corresponding casting effect by writing specific sentences, because no matter whether it is made or used, it does not require the participation of magic power. It can be said that it is the most common method of casting for monks in the Spirit Searching Realm.

Although this talisman is very similar to a grenade or a magic scroll, it is completely different in principle.

The magic scroll and the grenade have similar principles in essence. They are filled with raw materials with specific effects according to certain rules and can be used to achieve the effect through specific excitation procedures. The only difference is that the grenade is filled with gunpowder, while the magic scroll is filled with magic power, magic crystals or other materials.

But the talisman is different. It does not require too many strange spiritual materials to draw, nor does it require the writer to inject a lot of magic power, a pen, a piece of paper, and some cinnabar or black ink.

However, with such simple materials, why can we draw various magical talismans?

This starts with the way the talisman works.

The principle is too troublesome. In short, the power of the talisman does not come from itself. To put it bluntly, it is actually just an IOU-

IOU used to borrow power from heaven and earth or ghosts.

Of course, considering the issue of borrowing or not returning, it is okay to treat it as a check.

Therefore, the content of the talisman itself does not actually have a fixed format. There is no difference between writing "Demons and ghosts and monsters away" and writing "All evils retreat" (it's just that there is no content, and the overall format is there).

The manifestation of the power of the talisman only exists in two aspects. One is what purpose the talisman you draw is to achieve, and the other is which big shot is written by the talisman.

If the talisman is an IOU, the sentences written in your talisman represent how much money you want to borrow. The name of the boss who looks up is the guarantor. If you write Taishang Laojun as the law order, then it is the guarantee of the Taiqing Saint, and write Yanjun's imperial order, then it is the guarantee of the Yanjun.

But, this is not something you can just write randomly. For example, if you are a bald donkey from the Western religion, it is okay to write the Supreme Emperor's Decree. The saint is generous and ignores you, which means that the talisman is abolished. But if you dare to write the Shangqing Decree, you may not be able to serve Qingping Sword.

Therefore, in the serious talisman inheritance sects, there will be a link of talismans. Each process has its own rituals, but the core is to give a seal.

This seal represents a kind of inheritance of this sect. When you draw a talisman, it means that the sect has guaranteed the talisman paper you have. When writing the talisman, just raise your head and write the "decree" directly. Although it is not as powerful as the saint's edict, at least the success rate is guaranteed. You will not be unable to give you a guarantee because the saint is dozing off and you wake up someone else (funny).

However, not everyone has a sect that can give you spiritual seals. For example, those casual cultivators, or small sects with no strong backstage, are not qualified to make such spiritual seals, but they will not give up on the talisman casting method that can be used even without magic power.

If it were in the era when the Heavenly Court was built in later generations, you might also find a guarantor by offering sacrifices day and night to establish a relationship with a god in the Heavenly Court. However, in this era, the choice made by the small sect was to add collateral.

Simply put, no one gives you a guarantee when you borrow money, so you feel like you are using valuable things to mortgage it. Of course, this kind of spiritual blood talisman is definitely not as good as the serious talisman-making effect.

But no matter how poor the effect is, it is still a matter of small rewards for casual cultivators, but it is not so friendly to garrison monks like Feng Xue.

If it is a famous talisman, it can be traced back to the holder of the spiritual seal based on the spiritual seal. Even if the other party is not a suspect, it can also use this to narrow the target range.

But if it is a spiritual blood talisman, it basically means that the clues are cut off. After all, there is no shortage of spiritual blood on the prehistoric continent. If you go to the forest and find a smarter animal to beat it, its blood can be used as spiritual blood (of course, it is not guaranteed to be powerful). Some monks from famous and upright schools will deliberately use spiritual blood to make talismans when they are short of money to sell talismans, in order not to expose their master's teachings.

In addition to the previous speculation that "the suspect may be a monster", it is impossible to guarantee whether the spiritual blood belongs to others.

"But this is not right!" Xu Qin thought for a while, but still did not ask the uncle why he could determine the true face of this paper ashes, but found the spot from another aspect:

"The price of a wall-walking talisman on the market is 1,000 taels of silver. This thief used 1,000 taels of talisman paper to steal three hundred taels of silver and a box of jewelry that is no more than two hundred taels of jewelry, plus pork that costs less than one tael of silver. Is he stupid? And considering that he did not find any traces of entering the house, maybe he used light amulets or something before coming in. Is this a big loss? "

"But the cost of drawing talismans is very low. If you can't find a way out, it's normal to cash out by stealing. Besides, he may not know how much money the other party can steal." Feng Xue curled her lips and then said to Fang Ling:

"Local, I mean, including Huainan City and several surrounding counties, are there any black market or pawnshops that can sell talismans?"

"This..." Fang Ling's words were a little vague. It seemed that he was interested in the interests and it was difficult to speak, but Xu Qin said calmly:

"There must be some. It's not surprising that there are three or five big cities like Huainan."

"So it's very likely that it's an alien monk or monster. Can the suspicion of locally registered monsters and monks be cleared?" Fang Ling skipped this topic awkwardly and tried to guide the case back to the original topic.

"Okay." Xu Qin frowned, as if she was a little distressed. "The talisman paper is probably not made by local monks. Otherwise, no matter whether it is given or sold, the people who get the talisman paper have no reason to not know the price of the talisman. In this way... check the migrant population in the city in recent days, especially those who are big-handed."

"This..." Fangling was obviously a bit difficult to do. After all, if you screen Huainan, the manpower and material resources consumed are really exaggerated.

However, a monk who can steal talismans for a few hundred taels of silver is the type that has to be guarded against.
