【Red and White Collision】

 

He wrote down these four characters with ease, and suddenly a red beam of light descended from the sky, staining half of his sea of consciousness with a dark red color.

 

The clash of colors caused a discomfort in people's hearts with just one glance.

 

This made Chronicle even more excited for the card he was about to create.

 

As he continued to write in the void with his brush:

 

【Red and White Collision】

 

【Legend has it that it is an extremely evil Maoshan forbidden technique, and also the name of a certain evil spirit.】

 

【According to folklore, when the wedding sedan chair and the funeral coffin pass each other, one red and one white, one joy and one sorrow, it is extremely ominous.】

 

【Red and White Collision turns the two teams of life and death into the ten deaths without life.】

 

【It includes the bride who accidentally dies on her wedding day, the water ghost who has been cultivating for a thousand years and turned into a vengeful spirit, or the lingering soul left behind by a young man who died unjustly.】

 

【With the already controversial scene, coupled with the clash of extreme emotions of great joy and great sorrow, the magnetic field of Yin Qi generated is difficult to resist even for the enlightened.】

 

As Chronicle continued to write, the four-character true name in the air became clearer.

 

The aura emitted from it made even Chronicle, the creator, feel shocked.

 

"Hoo…"

 

After finishing the information filling part, Chronicle let out a breath and waited quietly for the approval.

 

In less than half a minute, the vast and magnificent sea of consciousness began to surge, and the red and white mists on both sides became more hazy and obscure.

 

Chronicle looked around and saw two teams in the mist on both sides, playing suona and dancing.

 

The music was indistinct.

 

Accompanied by the scent of blood and the dampness of the river water, which entered his nostrils, there was always a sense of impending disaster, making people feel uneasy.

 

"There's something."

 

Chronicle said softly.

 

At this time, the information review was also completed without any problems.

 

Chronicle picked up his pen again and began the card drawing work.

 

This time, he was not confined to a small card, but used the entire sea of consciousness as a canvas, splashing ink and wielding his brush.

 

First, he started with the Red side.

 

With a wave of his hand, the eerie "Paper Men Carrying Cursed Red Palanquin" and the confused-looking Yingtai appeared in the sea of consciousness.

 

He first summoned Yingtai's card panel and transformed it into the appearance of "Red and White Attire".

 

A blood-red wind swept by, and Yingtai's plain scholar's attire instantly turned into a set of bright red wedding gown that looked like blood.

 

Her originally bare face and handsome appearance were now covered with a thick layer of heavy makeup, with a hint of sorrow and desolation in her eyes.

 

Without the "Sword Seeking Knowledge" state, there was no trace of "clumsiness".

 

She held the Spirit Detecting Camera that Chronicle had given her tightly in her hand, which looked a bit out of place with this bright red wedding dress.

 

"Let go of your hand."

 

Listening to Chronicle's instructions, she tilted her head slightly, the sadness in her eyes disappeared, and she looked a bit confused.

 

But she still instinctively reached out with her slender white hand, while the other hand still tightly held the camera.

 

Seeing this, Chronicle couldn't help but smile.

 

After laughing for a while, he reached out and held the other person's hand, picked up the card drawing pen, infused it with spiritual power, and turned the other person's hand into an extremely pale color.

 

Then he adjusted the color again and painted five crimson fingernails.

 

"The other hand."

 

As Chronicle spoke, Yingtai quickly retracted her hand, clasped it on the camera, and extended the other hand.

 

Chronicle, who had become more proficient, drew faster with his pen, and soon finished this detailed adjustment.

 

"It's good."

 

Looking at his masterpiece, Chronicle nodded in satisfaction, and then made some minor adjustments to Yingtai's jewelry and wedding gown according to his own understanding.

 

Even the makeup on her face was changed according to his aesthetics, making her look both beautiful and horrifying.

 

"Not bad."

 

After carefully examining it, Chronicle turned his attention to the appearance of the paper man squad.

 

Yingtai was a little confused, so she picked up the Spirit Detecting Camera and took a picture of herself.

 

Looking at the photo, she couldn't help but widen her eyes. She looked completely different from before, but seemed even more beautiful. She couldn't understand the concept of "makeup", thinking that Chronicle had used some kind of "evil technique".

 

It turned out that not only outsiders, but even her own card spirit felt that Chronicle was a bit off.

 

After all, which normal person would persecute a "poor and innocent" old rice dumpling for no reason?

 

Uncle Nine and Little Brother both thought he was an expert.

 

"Paper Man…"

 

On the other side, Chronicle looked at the paper men in front of him with their flickering eyes, and couldn't help rubbing his chin.

 

After thinking for a while, he imitated the appearance of the paper men he saw in the Gu family's old house that day and made some adjustments to his own paper men.

 

After some consideration, he added two more blood-red blushes to their cheeks, giving them an instant soul.

 

"It's okay."

 

After finishing with the Red side, Chronicle began to adjust the appearance of the White side.

 

Since he had made some minor adjustments to the "Paper Man Carrying the Coffin" a long time ago, he only needed to make slight changes to its clothing to make it more suitable for the style of the White side.

 

The "Heavy Yin Fragrant Cedar Coffin" was already gloomy enough, and he didn't need to make any more changes.

 

It was the selection of the person for the White side…

 

"I always feel that neither me nor Brother Rice Dumpling are quite right."

 

"This card's description is too grand. It's really not appropriate for me, a living person, to be involved."

 

"As for Brother Rice Dumpling…he's just a zombie, not a thousand-year water ghost. He can't be called a 'young and talented youth who died young'. He's just dragging the team down. It's better for me to put on makeup, change clothes, and lie in the coffin."

 

"But if I do that, the problem will go back to the beginning. It's really not good for a living person like me to play the role of the White side no matter how you think about it."After some hesitation, Chronicle sighed and said, "Let's do it this way for now. After all, the current domain card is just a prototype, and there is still room for improvement."

 

"For now, let's leave Zongzi Brother lying on the board as a 'sudden surprise'. As for the 'candidate' for Bai Sha, I'll think about it."

 

In fact, there was a member in his team with a very "watery" position.

 

That would be Eight Lord.

 

According to the myth, Eight Lord drowned in the river near Nantai Bridge, so he had the appearance of a "water ghost" with a "pale face" and "slightly chubby" figure.

 

Just like Seven Brothers' "pale face" and "long tongue" appearance as a "hanged ghost".

 

This was also a common setting in Chinese mythology: after a person dies, their ghost would appear in the form they died.

 

Legend has it that Yang Qilang from the Yang Family, after being killed by Pan Renmei with "thousands of arrows piercing his heart", became the ghost king in the underworld who governed lonely souls and wild ghosts. He appeared with arrows all over his body and covered in wounds.

 

But let's get back to the main point.

 

Eight Lord was indeed a "water ghost", but he was also a Yin God.

 

Chronicle was not sure if the "divinity" on the other party would have any negative effects on the domain.

 

"Moreover, it doesn't feel right to have a dignified Yin God play such a role. I still need to think about it."

 

Thinking this, Chronicle turned Zongzi Brother back into a card and stored it in his sea of knowledge. Then he sent out Yingtai, who was already in full makeup, to guard the house.

 

After making some adjustments to Zongzi Brother's appearance, the card drawing work was almost finished.

 

Chronicle stopped his pen and watched as waves surged in his sea of knowledge, and the red and white mist filled the sky and earth, becoming even denser.

 

Drawing successful!

 

The information feedback returned to his mind, and Chronicle couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He then unscrewed the cap at the end of the card drawing pen and revealed a sharp engraving knife.

 

He reached out and grabbed the semi-finished card, recalling Xie Wenyuan's explanation in class, and began the final step of engraving the card back.

 

In no time, this final step was completely finished.

 

Card crafting successful!

 

Some complex card information instantly returned to his mind:

 

[Red and White Collision] (To be improved)

 

Quality: Blue

 

Category: Ghost/Spirit

 

Card Type: Domain

 

Rules:

 

1. After the card takes effect, enemy units with blue or lower quality cannot leave the domain until the end of the battle.

 

2. During the battle, ghost units in the domain may be affected by the Yin Qi magnetic field. Depending on their own characteristics, they may join our camp as Red Sha, White Sha, Sedan Carrier, Coffin Bearer, or Suona Craftsman.

 

3. After the battle, enemy cards in the domain that are determined to be "dead" have a certain probability of directly collapsing and cannot be restored through mental communication, sea of knowledge activation, or spiritual power convergence.

 

4. After the battle, enemy human and living units that have entered the domain will be in a negative state such as "fear", "collision", or "shivering" for a period of time. The duration depends on their quality level or spiritual power level.

 

Skills:

 

[Red Sedan]: The bride sits steadily in the sedan, and resentment condenses into substance. It automatically unlocks Qi attack spells and can launch attacks on all enemy units.

 

[White Coffin]: The water ghost sits at the head of the coffin, and heroes sleep in the coffin. The resentment gathers into a cold river, launching attacks on enemy units in the domain, with a high probability of triggering negative effects such as "chilling to the bone" and "soul-damaging resentment".

 

[Red and White Joyful Mourning]: Red and white collide, creating a Yin Qi field. Enemy units in the domain are suppressed to a certain extent, while our units receive certain enhancements. The effect of the skill strengthens over time.

 

Effects:

 

[Living Collision]: Yin Qi in the domain turns into red and white mist, causing enemy human and living units to have clouded minds and shiver in cold. The spirituality of other units will also be affected to some extent.

 

[Evil Spirit Seizes Life]: In the domain, every time we defeat an enemy unit, Red Sha and White Sha forcibly extract its source energy and convert it into spiritual power, which is then fed back into the card craftsman's body.

 

[Searching for You in This Life]: If an enemy unit with a lower quality level or spiritual power cultivation forcibly leaves the domain in some way, it will be given the "Red and White Mark" when it re-enters our vicinity. The card craftsman can choose whether to activate teleportation and bring the opponent back into the domain.

 

Under normal circumstances, the influence range of this mark expands as the card's quality and the card craftsman's spiritual power level increase, and it can only be resolved through death.

 

Introduction: One red, one white, one joyful, one mourning. The deceased returns, the broken heart mends. Yesterday, yellow earth sent white bones on the Loess Plateau, tonight, red. The mandarin duck sleeps under the lantern.

 

Advancement: The quality, skills, and effects of this card can be continuously improved through the upgrade and advancement of "sub-cards" in the deck.

 

Improvement: By adding materials or cards that meet the requirements, the rules, effects, and skills of [Red and White Collision] can be increased.

 

Fusion: When deployed alongside domain cards that possess characteristics such as "marriage", "funeral", "collision", or "sha", or with domain cards themed around "long streets", "wilderness", "riverbanks", or "lonely graves", the fusion effect [Red and White Joyful Mourning] can be activated.

 

This card's effects can be considered strong.

 

Even Chronicle, as a card craftsman, couldn't help but be amazed when he saw it.

 

"Not allowing anyone to escape, and as the battle progresses, either pulling in reinforcements or snatching the opponent's people. If it's a battle against a card craftsman, their cards will be completely destroyed, and they will be sick for a while."

 

"What's most deadly is the 'Effects' section of this card, which includes disgusting auras such as 'lowering intelligence', 'harming others for personal gain', and 'chasing for a lifetime'."

 

"This is too rogue. Could it be true, as Old Xie said, that the effects displayed by the cards are influenced by the personality of the card craftsman?"

 

Chronicle licked his lips and muttered in confusion, "That can't be. I'm a pretty good person."

 

Although he couldn't fully understand, to be honest, when he saw the "bad seed" ability of this card, he still felt a bit excited.

 

"But I can't just float on this. The more powerful the card, the higher the requirement for spiritual power.""Such a field card consumes more spiritual power than the 【Ghost Emissary – Apprehending and Guiding】. With my current spiritual power, I'm afraid I won't last more than a few minutes."

 

"Moreover, the effect of this card is influenced by the card's quality and my own level of spiritual power. If the opponent surpasses me in both aspects, this card is basically useless."

 

Thinking of this, Chronicle let out a slow sigh.

 

His previously agitated mood gradually calmed down.

 

"Also, the three words 【To Be Improved】 behind the true name suggest that this card is far from its optimal state."

 

"But what exactly is it lacking?"

 

Chronicle carefully observed the two teams, then suddenly clapped his hands:

 

"The suona band! How could I forget about that! That dirty suona, blowing it myself will eventually make me sick. Wouldn't it be better to hire a funeral band? I'll contact 【Land of Peach's Good Voice】 to buy one later."

 

"There's also the scene material…"

 

"Although the appearance of red and white collision doesn't pick a place, if it targets you, even if you're using your phone on the toilet or doing some unspeakable crafts alone in the middle of the night, you'll still be 'hit'. But if you add a scene, the atmosphere will be better, and the card effect might greatly enhance."

 

"I should add one when I have time."

 

Chronicle thought to himself, murmuring "Return".

 

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in reality, and his stomach growled a few times.

 

But before he could get up to grab some food from the kitchen, the card-making feedback hit him without warning.

 

An invisible and surging force emerged from his brow, quickly spreading throughout his body.

 

After a tingling sensation that was neither comfortable nor uncomfortable, a vast and magnificent river of spiritual power surged, pushing his cultivation progress to the late bronze stage.

 

"Phew."

 

After taking a deep breath and doing some simple exercises, Chronicle, who was about to fill his stomach and then find a place to test the card, heard a scream from downstairs.

 

"Ah!"
