How should a treasure be used?
What kind of effect does it have?
Chen Yun sat there in deep thought, not having figured out the usage method himself, naturally not knowing the specific function of this treasure, only knowing that it could carry away a divine guardian.
Throughout his past life and this one, he had never encountered a treasure, so now that he had just acquired his first treasure in life, he naturally had no idea how to wield it.
To normally operate a device, it is nothing more than inputting true qi or controlling with mental consciousness.
For instance, if one wishes to use a flying needle, they simply need to attach their consciousness onto it, and then control it as easily as they would control their own fingers.
For example, with the tiger skin armor, when true qi is infused into it, it will automatically fit onto one's body, providing powerful defense.
Treasures also come in different types. The Blood Gold Cutting Demon Sword is not one that directly exerts its power, but rather amplifies the power of one's own divine power. The Controlling Bell of Souls and Ghosts, on the other hand, injects one's consciousness to shake it, allowing its power to spread out from the sound and control nearby lingering spirits and ghosts.
No matter how different their functions may be, all these treasures have a consistent method of use. They are simply infused with true qi or consciousness, which is the power.
If that's the case, why can't I control the treasure no matter whether I inject true qi or consciousness?
Chen Yun felt that he had missed something. If he could notice it, maybe he could control and use it.
"Hold on!"
He then remembered that he had another treasure that didn't require the input of true qi or consciousness.
The treasure he was thinking of was the "Small Dog" device that Lu Dongbin had personally blessed and purified for him at the Temple of Guan Yu Jia Lan Zun.
"To use the Xiaogou artifact, I just need to shout 'fast'."
Chen Yun thought it over carefully, "In Taoist magic and artifacts, not only do you need to shout 'quickly' when driving the Xiaogou artifact, but many other spells are also like that. Because 'quickly' is a starting incantation for some spells and artifacts. Moreover, the starting incantations in Taoism are not just 'quickly,' they also include 'as the law commands,' 'urgent as the law commands,' and 'the Most Honored Lord Jesus urgent as the law commands.' Some even add characters like 'she' (seize) or 'chi' (command) at the end to indicate that the incantation must be executed with urgency and without error."
These incantations are not just randomly recited.
The incantations and charms in this world are all based on the rules of heaven and earth.
Since treasures contain the Taoist qi and possess the power of the rules of heaven and earth, should one also recite a type of incantation like that?
Chen Yun decided to give it a try. He tightly held the treasure and softly called out, "Quickly."
The treasure showed no reaction.
He shouted "seize" and "command" again, but still there was no reaction.
Chen Yun tried calmly and steadily, "Most Honored Lord Jesus, urgent as the law commands!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the banner shone with intense multi-colored light.
It activated!
The treasure has really been activated!
Chen Yun couldn't help but feel a bit excited in his heart. It turned out that using a treasure requires the corresponding incantation!
This banner-like treasure, the incantation for activation is "Most Honored Lord Jesus, urgent as the law commands!"
As for why it is "Most Honored Lord Jesus, urgent as the law commands," he guessed it might be because in this realm, the old man represents the rules of heaven and earth. Since the treasure contains Taoist qi and possesses a hint of rule power from heaven and earth, naturally it falls under the jurisdiction of the old man. Therefore, reciting "Most Honored Lord Jesus, urgent as the law commands" can activate it.
Looking on as the colorful light enveloped a circular area of three to four meters around himself.
Chen Yun still hadn't found the traces of Qin Liang and Ji Xin.
Just now, Qin Liang and Ji Xin were swallowed up by this beam of colorful light. How could they not be found when the colorful light appears now?
He found it quite strange.
Could it be that the activation and control of a treasure are actually separate?
Chen Yun tried to recite the incantation "Most Honored Lord Jesus, urgent as the law commands" and "as the law commands." Well, no reaction.
Without hurrying or slowing down, Chen Yun began to recite another incantation, "Quickly!"
The colorful light suddenly surged up, as if it was searching for a target.
Yes, Chen Yun felt that the banner was conveying him a sense of intention to lock on to a target.
Apart from the white monkey, there seemed to be no other targets around.
He blinked his eyes and looked at the white monkey with an evil intention.
The white monkey seemed not to realize the seriousness of the problem and still squatted there "squeak squeak".
While Chen Yun's consciousness was locked on the white monkey, he recited the character "quickly" again.
Then...
Well, there was no reaction at all.
"What's going on?" Chen Yun was thoroughly confused. He tried another incantation, "Seize!"
In the next moment, a beam of colorful light shot out violently and rushed towards the white monkey!
Seeing this, the white monkey was startled and jumped quickly to the side to dodge.
The colorful light struck the ground, instantly scooping up a cubic soil block with sides about three to four meters long and pulling it back into the banner. Then, it vanished without a trace.
However, the white monkey seemed to be angry, growling and snarling from there.
Chen Yun didn't pay attention to the white monkey. He probably knew how to use the banner now.
The activation incantation is "Most Honored Lord Jesus, urgent as the law commands."
As for after the activation, other incantations may be required to exert its function, such as "Quickly" is used to control the colored light, and "Seize" naturally means to make the colored light rush towards the target. If it can be scooped up and brought into the banner, it will absorb the object inside.
"If things can be seized and put in, they should also be able to be released."
Chen Yun thought about it for a moment and tried to recite the incantation of the character "chi".
In the next moment, he had a vision of the scenery inside the banner in his mind.
It was an independent space, as far as the eye could see without an end in sight, filled with infinite multi-colored lights and misty fog, much like a sea of clouds.
Floating in the "sea of clouds" were the soil block that had just been brought in, as well as Qin Liang and Ji Xin, who appeared to be dazed.
These two people looked like they had lost their wits, and it was unclear what had happened.
Chen Yun pondered in his heart, "How can I put Qin Liang and Ji Xin out?"
As soon as the thought arose, the colorful light surged and threw Qin Liang and Ji Xin out from within.
Oh!
So the "chi" character is the incantation to control the internal functions of the banner. As long as it is activated, I can release the items inside.
While Chen Yun suddenly understood, he hurriedly looked at the Qin Liang and Ji Xin who had been thrown out, concernedly asking, "Are you all right?"
At this moment, Qin Liang and Ji Xin seemed to have not yet fully regained their wits. Their spiritual bodies were sitting on the ground in a daze.
Chen Yun's heart tightened, thinking that the two deities might have been rendered silly by the banner.
Luckily, this state didn't last long, and the "eyes" of Qin Liang and Ji Xin gradually regained a bit of clarity.
"Master."
"Master."
The two promptly got up to greet.
Chen Yun saw that they had recovered their wits, and he hurriedly approached to ask, "When you were like that earlier, did you get hurt?"
Qin Liang, somewhat confused, asked: "What happened just now?"
He seemed to still not have come to his senses.
Ji Xin furrowed his brow and said: "I felt a force that was irresistible coming from before, and then I lost my wits. I was dazed and confused."
Hearing the answers from the two, Chen Yun gradually understood the function of the banner.
Unexpectedly, the function of this banner is to absorb things into it, whether they are spiritual bodies or physical objects. However, it seems to have a preference for spiritual bodies, which can be seen from the fact that the colorful light actively absorbed Qin Liang and Ji Xin at the beginning. As for absorbing a soil block, it requires the user's control with incantations.
Of course, the banner is not simply a means to trap spiritual bodies, but also causes them to lose their wits and become dazed and confused.
As for whether it can cause a living creature with flesh to lose their wits at once, Chen Yun has not yet tried it.
From this perspective, the banner seems to have a significant yet limited function.
