Chapter 12 Determination and Elimination of Deadlocks
Xie Yan originally wanted to buy a three-piece set of painting talismans - brushes, yellow paper, and cinnabar, but now that it is so late, it is estimated that the store has already closed.
In desperation, he had no choice but to turn his head and say to Uncle Jiu: "Senior brother, my mana is not enough to cast some spells now, so I want to learn the art of drawing talismans, even if I save my life in the future, it will be excellent." ”
When Uncle Nine heard this, he didn't say anything, turned around and went back to the back room, and after a while, he saw him come out with a small cloth bag, handed it to Xie Yan, and said: "Senior brother, take these and use them, and then ask for them when they are used up; ”
Xie Yan nodded gratefully, and then said to Uncle Nine that he should hurry up and practice, turned around and ran towards his room.
When he got to the back room, he turned around and closed the door, then put the cloth bag on the table and opened it, only to see that it was filled with yellow paper for drawing talismans, and at the bottom there was an inkstone, a wolf pen and a small box of cinnabar powder.
Xie Yan took out the inkstone, first poured some cinnabar powder, and then poured some water, and then it could be grinded. While grinding, he said to himself: "The first zombie was transformed into a corpse after Master Ren was killed by his Lao Tzu, and it was not as powerful as that, but his father could be much more powerful, and he had to think carefully about what talisman he wanted to draw to have an effect on him." ”
Thinking of this, I immediately recalled in my mind the Maoshan Technique and the record of the spell in the Maoshan Secret Technique. However, there are more than a thousand kinds of spells recorded in the two books, and the types are not classified, and the system is completely stuffed into Xie Yan's mind. After looking for a while, I still didn't find a suitable one, "MMP, the system is increasing my workload, can't you just summarize it when it is transmitted to me?"
"Host, this system has an automatic induction function, and it can help the host narrow down the filter range of the required spells. It's just that the host didn't ask, so this feature wasn't started. "The system is honest.
"Do you still need to ask about this? Hurry up and help me sift through the spells against zombies. Xie Yan said helplessly.
"Okay. Filtering in the system... After the screening is completed, two charms are screened for the host that meet the requirements, 'Exorcism Talisman' and 'Corpse Suppression Talisman'. The system quickly helped Xie Yan screen the spells.
"Can you briefly introduce some of the two charms, what are the effects of each?" Xie Yan asked curiously.
"Okay. Exorcism Talisman: As long as the cultivation is sufficient, it can expel all evil qi (corpse qi), and the best effect on ghosts, followed by zombies; The system replied.
"Okay, let's learn these two talismans first. With that, his eyes closed slightly, and he carefully pondered the drawing method of the talisman.
Drawing talismans is not as simple as it seems, in order to draw talismans well, it is necessary for people to control the mana to a kind of arbitrary extent, and every stroke must not have a trace of error, and it must be done in one go. In his mind, since he already had the impression of Fu in his mind, he just had to follow the painting directly, and it shouldn't be difficult. However, this is not the case.
According to the records of Maoshan Secret Art, a talisman is composed of five elements: talisman head, main talisman god, talisman belly, talisman foot, and talisman gall.
To put it simply, the head of the talisman is the beginning of the spell, and the most important thing is like the human eye. For example, the "three hooks" on our common talisman heads are the marks representing the three Qings (Daode Tianzun, Yuan Shi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun) or the Three Realms Gong (Chenghuang, Land, and Patriarch); This is said to be the main thing of the talisman god; the talisman belly is to indicate the function of this talisman, what to use for, to kill demons and eliminate evil spirits or to town the house, it can be understood here; talisman gall is the essence of a talisman, and whether the talisman can be effective or not is all in this key. The foot of the talisman is mostly used to end the talisman gall and end the writing procedure of a talisman, and it also has an extremely important position.
I don't know if it's because of the existence of the system or because of my own cultivation, it takes a day for ordinary people to figure it out, but it only took him half an hour to master it all.
I saw Xie Yan holding a cinnabar brush in his hand, and first drew a relatively simple corpse suppression talisman. Because the first time he came into contact with the talisman, no matter how rich the theoretical knowledge was, but in the process of painting, he often couldn't do it in one go, and always broke the pen when he drew the talisman.
However, he also knew that he was completely a baby who had just learned to walk, so he settled down and drew meticulously. In this way, after almost an hour, after wasting more than 100 pieces of yellow paper, he mastered the trick proficiently.
Then he painted more and more freely, with a wave of the brush, a talisman was formed under his brush, and he gradually immersed himself in this state.
However, he didn't notice that at this time, the exercises in his body were running at three times the usual speed. Because he coincidentally entered the state of forgetting things and self, every trace of mana in his body was unconsciously mobilized by him in drawing talismans, the faster the talisman was drawn, the faster the mana was mobilized, and the greater the consumption, followed by the faster the speed of the exercises.
It wasn't until a rooster crows that Xie Yan was pulled back to reality.
Looking up blankly at the "exorcism talisman" and "corpse suppression talisman" that had been drawn on the ground, it took a long time to come back to his senses.
"Huh, why are you busy all night, not only are you not tired, but your spirit is better?" Xie Yan looked confused, and then subconsciously lucked the Taoist Qi Alchemy, and was suddenly surprised to find that he had broken through to the sixth layer of Qi refining, and almost entered the seventh layer of Qi refining!
"I'll it, what's the situation, why are you about to break through to the late stage of qi refining all of a sudden?" At this moment, he was not only confused, but also full of black question mark faces. Hurriedly asked the system: "System, what's going on?"
"Please don't worry, because the host has just entered a state where there is nothing in the heart, and there is nothing in the heart and I forget, and in the state again, the speed of the exercises will skyrocket, so the host's cultivation realm will improve so quickly. "System Boulevard.
"I see. Xie Yan looked unaware, "But no matter how much you cultivate, it's a good thing." Just as he was dancing happily, Wen Cai's voice came with a heavy knock on the door: "Uncle Shi, it's not good! ”
Xie Yan was startled, "It's coming, it's coming! If you knock again, the door will be knocked out." Xie Yan opened the door with a dark face, but when he saw Wen Cai's panicked face, he suppressed his anger and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, so in a hurry?"
"Uncle Shi, it's not good, the coffin is scattered, and the body of Old Lady Ren is gone!" Wen Cai replied in a hurry.
I already knew about it. Xie Yan said in his heart. But he said, "I'll tidy it up first, and then I'll go to your master together." ”
Then Xie Yan turned around and entered the room, put the corpse suppression talisman and evil exorcism talisman that had been drawn on the ground into the cloth bag, and then went to the main hall with Wen Cai to find Uncle Jiu.
When I came to the main hall, I saw Uncle Nine pacing back and forth with a serious face, heard footsteps outside, and turned around to see Xie Yanzheng walking in.
"Senior brother, something is wrong, hey. Uncle Nine said with a solemn face, and seeing that Xie Yan was listening, he continued: "Old lady Ren's coffin is scattered!
"Senior brother, don't be in a hurry. Now that it's happened, all we can do is calm down and think carefully about how to resolve it. Xie Yan, who was familiar with the plot, didn't take it too seriously when he heard this, so he persuaded Uncle Nine with a calm face.
"Hey, I didn't expect that my junior brother would be so young and fearless, and this mentality made my senior brother ashamed. Anyway, if something happens, we can only prepare for the worst. Uncle Nine said half admiring, half helpless.
"I have a good mentality, I purely know the plot, otherwise, I'll be the one who scares the pee. Xie Yan thought happily.
Then Uncle Nine asked Wen Cai to call Qiusheng, who was looking at the store at his aunt's house, back, and then discuss how to solve this matter together.
Xie Yan and Uncle Nine silently thought about strategies while drinking tea. Xie Yan knows that if the zombies are compared according to the strength in the movie, they are honest. However, the characteristics of zombies are copper skin and iron bones, and their strength is great, so although he is not worried about his life, he can't destroy zombies, and if he can't destroy zombies, it means that the task can't be completed. That's going to die. Yes, Xie Yan also looked like he was scratching his ears and cheeks.
After almost a cup of tea, Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng walked in and bowed and saluted, "Master, uncle!" and then the two stood aside with their hands tied.
Qiusheng, who is usually very jumpy, was also quiet today, because on the way back to Yizhuang, Wen Cai had already told him the general situation. Yes, he also realized the seriousness of the problem.
Seeing that the scene was getting heavier and heavier, Wencai was still more nervous, and asked directly: "Master, why don't we go out and find it now?"
"Where can I find it?" said Uncle Nine angrily.
"Senior brother, I have read some information about zombies in a book, zombies, killing blood relatives, breaking cause and effect, and cultivating evil paths! I wonder if senior brother has heard of it?" Xie Yan asked.
"Yes, after death, people often have the deepest memories of their lives left in their minds. And even when a person is dying, the deepest memory is family affection. Therefore, when the dead become zombies, the first thing to kill is often their own relatives, and only by killing all their blood relatives can the cause and effect be cut off, and after killing their own relatives, the last trace of humanity will be replaced by corpse nature, so that the way of all evil can be cultivated. Uncle Nine agreed.
"Master, uncle, I still don't understand. Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng looked at Xie Yan and Uncle Jiu blankly.
Xie Yan sighed helplessly, "Alas, to put it simply, Master Ren and Ren Tingting, whom you like, are in trouble." ”
"What!?" Wencai and Qiusheng immediately jumped up, and the two said excitedly: "No, master, uncle, you have to think of a way!"
"Aren't your masters and I thinking, and even if we go out now and tell our neighbors in town that there are zombies, they won't believe it. Unless... Xie Yan looked at Uncle Nine and stopped talking.
