From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 51: Spell Failure
Jiang Yao had no idea whether there were other similar masters in the surrounding area besides Carpenter Xu.

Even if there really are such people, if he wants to find out the news, not only will it take a lot of time, but even if he goes to their door, they may not be reliable.

Under the current circumstances, if he could find Lu Ban's book and learn the various techniques in it, perhaps he would not have to ask for help from others. His own abilities alone would be enough to deal with Huang Cuicui.

As for whether he could learn the above techniques, Jiang Yao felt that it shouldn't be a big problem.

After all, he hadn't had the chance to start practicing the Nine Dragons Bone-Transforming Water last time because it required an odd-month or day for the Heavenly Doctor to descend to the earth to officially practice. Yet, wasn't he able to cast the spell successfully with just some spells, making this technique appear in the skill column on the panel?

With such a successful example, it may be possible that other techniques recorded in the book can also be successfully cast without the need for practice.

Thinking of this, he, who was originally a little depressed, seemed to see hope again.

His eyes were burning as he walked a few steps to the side of the shrine. Then he squatted down, turned the shrine over and over, and began to examine it carefully.

"That's impossible. Last time, I clearly saw Carpenter Xu take out the incomplete copy of Lu Ban's book from behind the shrine."

"But now, I have checked this shrine several times, and there is nothing there!"

"Could it be that someone came in first and took the Lu Ban book away?"

……

Jiang Yao muttered to himself with a look of disappointment on his face.

Carpenter Xu's home was so poor that even a thief would have to cry if he broke in. But looking at the mess inside the house, there was no doubt that his house had been visited by many people after Carpenter Xu's death.

After all, he had no father, no mother, no children, and without him, the house would naturally become abandoned.

The tables, chairs, cabinets and other things originally in the house may not be used by others at home, but they can be used as firewood!
If those who had entered Carpenter Xu's house really discovered the remains of Lu Ban's book and took them away, there was a high possibility that they would have done so.

"Jiang Yao, there is nothing in this room. Not to mention the Lu Ban book, I didn't even find a piece of paper."

While Jiang Yao was checking the shrine, Bingzai and the others were not idle either.

The soldier searched the entire hall carefully, finding all the places he needed to find. With a puzzled look on his face, he walked up to Jiang Yao and said.

As he was speaking, Gou Zi and Tong Gang, who had entered the bedroom next door, also came out with a look of disappointment on their faces: "There are only a few rags and some rotten wood in there, nothing else!"

"Can't find it?" Feeling helpless, Jiang Yao stood up.

Sighing, he looked left and right, and soon his eyes fell on the shrine at the center of the main hall.

Closing his eyes, he recalled the scene when Carpenter Xu took out the Lu Ban Book that day. He walked a few steps to the place where the shrine was originally placed, patted here and touched there.

After just testing it for a while, he felt his eyes brighten.

Because at this moment, his hand actually touched a mortise and tenon that protruded a little bit on the earthen brick.

Grasping the mortise and tenon with two fingers, he pulled hard, and the brick surface, which looked exactly the same as the surrounding earthen bricks, was actually pulled open by him.

Looking more closely, this is not an adobe brick at all, but clearly a wooden box, but it is covered with a layer of mud, making it look like an adobe brick.

He reached into the wooden box and just fumbled around a little, and a torn book fell into Jiang Yao's hands.

"Yes, this is what I'm looking for!" Jiang Yao was overjoyed just by looking at the cover.

After stuffing the torn book into his trouser pocket, he reached into the wooden box and fumbled around for a while, but unfortunately, it was empty and he didn't find anything.

"How's it going, Jiang Yao, have you found the Lu Ban book?"

"Ok!"

"You are so nervous about this thing. Does it mean that with this book, our problems can be successfully solved?" "I don't know. Let me read the book first!"

……

The scene of Jiang Yao taking out a book from the earthen brick at the front of the main hall fell into the eyes of Bingzai Tong Gang and others. They were delighted and surrounded him immediately.

With anticipation on their faces, several people tentatively opened their mouths and asked Jiang Yao.

However, it was difficult for Jiang Yao to give accurate answers to their questions. After responding to a few people casually, he walked to the brighter place at the door, squatted on the ground and began to look through the incomplete book of Lu Ban.

[Spell: This oil is not an extraordinary oil. Lu Ban gave me the gift to burn the evil master...]

Jiang Yao had the deepest impression and was most envious of the Five Thunder Oil Pool Fire Curse that Carpenter Xu had once performed.

At this moment, he naturally turned to the page in Lu Ban's book that recorded this technique.

In addition to spells, if you want to cast this technique, you also need to match the corresponding talismans.

There were indeed records of spells and talismans on the fragmentary book, but there was no information on how to practice this art.

But in Jiang Yao's opinion, this is not important at all.

After all, he had never thought about practicing these techniques step by step. For him, it was enough to just know how to cast the technique.

It took more than half an hour for Jiang Yao to memorize the spell of more than a hundred words and the talismans. Then he returned to the main room.

With his eyes slightly closed, he recalled the scene when Carpenter Xu performed this technique that day.

When his eyes opened, he chanted a spell, waved his right hand in the air, used his finger as a pen, and began to write talismans.

Soon, the spell was finished and the talisman was written.

"I don't feel any mental energy being consumed. There is no trace of the Five Thunders Oil Pool Fire Curse on the skill bar on the panel."

"What's the matter?"

"Is it because I am not skilled enough in casting spells that the spell fails? Or is it because this kind of spell has a certain threshold and I can't learn it without Lu Ban's training?"

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yao tried his best to stay calm.

Thinking back on the spell-casting process he had just performed, he felt that there were indeed many areas where he had not done well enough, and it was simply incomparable to the smooth flow of spell-casting by Carpenter Xu that day. He then tried again and cast the Five Thunder Oil Pool Fire Curse a few more times.

Unfortunately, his spells still failed every time, and there was still no sign of the Five Thunder Oil Pool Fire Curse in the skill bar on the light curtain panel.

Even though his spellcasting process was obviously much more skillful than the first time, the result was no different.

"What is Jiang Yao doing? Is he performing a shaman act?"

"How can a shaman dance be like this? In my opinion, he should be learning the magic spells recorded in Lu Ban's book, but I don't know if he has learned it or not."

"It's not easy to learn magic without a master. Look at him, his face is a little dark. You can guess the result yourself."

"If Uncle Yao can't learn magic, then how can we solve our problems? Can we just go home and wait to die?"

……

Jiang Yao was jumping around in the main room, gesticulating in the air, but Bingzai and Tong Gang and a few others had nothing to do. They huddled in a corner, each with different expressions on their faces, and talked in low voices.
