Hearing that it was a sound transmitting talisman, the fatty still wasn't interested. He casually flipped through it and said to me, "Isn't this what Lu Zhenyang gave you last time? Why are you giving it to me?"
I smiled and shook my head. "Lu Zhenyang did give me a sound transmitting talisman, but this wasn't given to me by Lu Zhenyang. I made it myself."
The fatty's interest was piqued, and his eyes slightly widened. "You made it yourself?
When I was on Mount Huang, Martial Uncle Nangong also left a sound transmitting talisman for my master. He said that it could be used to communicate from a thousand miles away.
At that time, I asked my master and he said that it wasn't easy to make this kind of talisman. Moreover, it seemed to be related to formations … You don't know anything about formations, so how did you make it? "
It wasn't easy for the fatty to regain his composure. I quickly continued, "Although I'm not as good as you in formations, I still dabbled in them. How can I be considered to know nothing about formations?"
I wasn't talking nonsense. There were many formations recorded in the Death Scripture. When I had free time, I had also studied them. When I was at the Yin Corpse Sect, I had also used formations to fight against Yan Nantian's Yang Spirit. The effect was quite good.
At that time, I was only at the Acupuncture Point Realm, yet I was able to hold back Yan Nantian's Yang Spirit.
Of course, when I made the sound transmitting talisman this time, I didn't start with formations. I just borrowed the magic of the Heavenly Dipper Nine Steps and the power of Insight. After thoroughly understanding the sound transmitting talisman, I imitated it.
Hearing my words, the fatty snorted disdainfully and said to me in disdain, "With your meager knowledge of formations, mentioning it in front of me is like playing with a large axe in front of Lu Ban's door, or playing with a large knife in front of Guan Yu's door.
Aren't you ashamed? "
Normally, I would definitely argue with the fatty, but I couldn't care less at this time. I just chuckled and said, "I know your formations are powerful, but when it comes to formations and talismans, you might not be better than me."
I purposely said that, and the fatty took the bait. He stiffened his neck and said, unconvinced, "As long as it's related to formations, I've never been afraid of anyone. How about this? I'll also make a few sound transmitting talismans for you to take a look."
In Fatty's current mental state, he was most afraid of letting his imagination run wild, and the best way to prevent it was to find something for him to do.
Thus, when I heard what the fatty said, I was instantly overjoyed. However, my expression didn't change as I faintly smiled. "If you want to make one, then go ahead … But there's no hurry. I'm looking for you because I want to see if the Sound Transmission Talisman I made can work.
How about this, I'll leave you a talisman. After I leave, we can use this talisman to communicate and see if we can use it smoothly. "
Then, I told the fatty how to use the Sound Transmitting Talisman. After confirming that he knew how to use it, I got up and left his room.
The effect of the Sound Transmitting Talisman wasn't just to transmit sound, it was to transmit sound from a thousand miles away. Hence, if Fatty and I were to confirm that the Sound Transmitting Talisman could transmit a message in a face-to-face situation, it wouldn't mean that the Sound Transmitting Talisman had been successfully made.
That was why I had to leave Fatty's room and return to my own room to experiment.
Although this distance wasn't a thousand miles, it was at least a certain distance. As long as it was successful, it would most likely prove that there was no problem with the talisman.
After I returned to my room, I had just sat down. Before I had the time to send a message to Fatty, the Sound Transmitting Talisman in my hand vibrated. I opened the talisman and a white paper-like light screen unfolded in the air. On the light screen was a string of words. It was the message that Fatty had sent.
Fatty said, "Third Baby, is this how you use it?"
Looking at the large words on the light screen, I was elated. I was sure that the talisman could be used.
Thus, I activated my true essence and prepared to reply to Fatty. However, I discovered that the light screen in front of me was deformed, as if it was about to be torn apart. Immediately, I was startled.
Could it be that there was another problem? Did the Sound Transmitting Talisman fail?
Before I could understand what was going on, the light screen in front of me dispelled my worries. I saw the light screen spread out in front of me. The words that the fatty had sent to me earlier were scattered and disappeared. However, the scattered light rays formed a new paragraph of words. It was obvious that the fatty had sent a new message.
Previously, no one had continuously sent me messages, so this was the first time I had seen such a situation. Only then did I understand.
Fatty's second message was, "Can this thing let me contact other people?"
I smiled and activated my true essence. I told Fatty, "This Sound Transmitting Talisman can only be used to contact me. It can't be used to contact other people. If he wants to contact other people, he needs to have the other party's Sound Transmitting Talisman. Only then can both parties communicate."
I sent the message, and soon, I got a reply from the fatty.
His tone was full of disdain. "What's the use of this? It's so boring to only be able to contact you. Just wait, I'll create a talisman that will allow me to contact anyone!"
Seeing that he had started to brag, it proved that his depressed condition had indeed improved.
I finally felt relieved.
Looking at the light screen in front of me and the message that Fatty had sent me, I felt playful. I urged my true essence and tried to draw something on the light screen.
Originally, I just wanted to try, but I didn't expect that I could draw something on the light screen. I drew a pig's head and sent it to Fatty.
Not long after, Fatty replied with two words, "Childish."
I was amused. In the past, I had always scolded Fatty for being childish. It was rare for him to scold me this time.
I didn't mind it. After thinking for a while, I continued to draw on the light screen. However, I didn't draw a pig's head this time. Instead, I carefully drew an enlarged version of the Sound Transmitting Talisman for Fatty so that he could study it more easily.
Then, I drew the final hand seal that I would use to make a person's mark and sent it to Fatty.
With Fatty's attainments in formations, he wouldn't use this hand seal when making a person's mark. However, to prevent him from being clueless, I still sent it to him so that he could study it faster.
After sending the message, Fatty didn't reply for a long time. I guessed he had gone to study the Sound Transmitting Talisman.
Since I had nothing to do, I continued to study the Sound Transmitting Talisman.
Looking at the light screen that allowed me to send words and pictures, I couldn't help but think of the cell phones and chat software that I used in the secular world.
The basic function of this Sound Transmission Talisman was a shortened version of chat software.
From this, I couldn't help but think of many metaphysical methods. For example, talismans. I used to make many talismans. This Sound Transmitting Talisman in front of me was similar to a chat software, and the Scorching Sun Talisman I had made was similar to a lighter that could create fire out of thin air.
There was also the Golden Light Talisman. This kind of talisman was a Daoist divine talisman. It was strange, but it could also be created using scientific methods. For example, some special light.
In the past, those talismans weren't direct enough, so I didn't think too much about it. It wasn't until I created the Sound Transmitting Talisman that I clearly felt that the things that were represented by metaphysical methods could be realized using scientific methods.
From this point of view, metaphysics wasn't different from science. In the end, the results were the same. The only difference was the process.
I couldn't help but think about it more deeply.
The history of science could be traced back to the Antiquity Time. However, after the Renaissance in the West, science started to develop rapidly. Before that, the development of science was very slow, and the things that it could create were far inferior to metaphysics.
From that era, people gradually discovered that science had brought many conveniences to their lives. Thus, most of them gave up on metaphysics and fully accepted science.
From this point of view, if humans hadn't developed science at that time and had focused on studying metaphysics, they wouldn't have just studied some metaphysical fighting methods. Instead, they would have studied things like the Sound Transmitting Talisman that could be used in daily life. They could have even researched things that were good for farming, food, shelter, and transportation. Would the Metaphysics Society be like science and have a great development?
