The morning breeze moves slightly, and the clouds begin to rise.

Since Xiao Yi left, Sucheng seems to have returned to the gloomy weather that was difficult to see the light of day in the past, Xiao Er, who got up early, looked at Dongcheng, but saw that the clouds were low and the haze was blurred.

Half of the towering Xiaoxiang buildings are hidden in the mist, and the high and low buildings outline the skyline of the city, looming in the unpredictable haze, not like the world. Under the heavy curtains, the rising sun in the sky is as faint as a candle, and there is no warmth, not to mention the atmosphere of purple air coming from the east.

The morning glows brightly, the sun glows, the twilight and the smoke.

When Xiao Er was thinking about how to spend the 600,000 yuan in Sucheng at seven o'clock in the morning, Hou Zhi came again.

"Xiao Er Xiao Er, I have practiced!"

Hou Zhi shouted happily as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, and Xiao Er was a little confused: "What have you practiced?"

"The talisman you gave me!" Hou Zhi had dark circles under his eyes and was very excited, "I didn't sleep all night last night, but I can be regarded as having eaten all that book." ”

"Uh......" Xiao Er was a little surprised, "Thirty-six talismans, have you learned them all?"

"Enn!" Hou Zhi nodded vigorously, "The Yin and Yang Thunder Talisman and the Lux Talisman are not enough for my mana to support, but I can already draw the rune in one breath." ”

This general talisman compiled by Zhou Zhenren, although it only excerpts the most simple and easy graphic changes of various talismans, but a closer look at its origin, it is a combination of hundreds of schools of thought, and it is complicated. The prototypes of several of the talismans came from several completely different and even conflicting talisman concepts, and Zhou Zhenren included them into one, which was originally based on a comprehensive consideration of function, rather than a consideration of the context of practice.

Therefore, there is no law to follow in the practice of these 36 kinds of talismans, and there is no such thing as a step-by-step approach, only one talisman by rote.

And with Xiao Er's talent, it took three days to learn all these 36 basic runes.

Xiao Er suddenly became interested, led Hou Zhi into the house, took out cinnabar pen and ink and a few ordinary rune papers and put them in front of him: "You draw the bell charm and requiem charm for me to see." ”

The bell charm is a kind of warning charm, which hangs in the house or on the side, as long as there are ghosts and demons around the genus, there will be a bell to ring as a warning. The requiem charm is a charm that can penetrate into the soul of living beings and calm the soul, which can not only appease the resentful soul and yin ghosts, stabilize the yin and yang mansion, but also help people calm their minds and assist monks in casting spells.

These two talismans act on the qi machine and the other on the soul, which originates from the two different schools of talisman on the mountain, "divine energy" and "true spirit", and are completely different from the concept of talisman to the specific drawing method.

Hou Zhi listened and knew that Xiao Er intended to test himself, so he sat upright in front of the desk, held his breath and meditated, and only nodded to Xiao Er after dozens of breaths, and began to sketch with a pen.

Although he has been preparing for a long time, the pen is extremely fast, and the complex pattern is outlined under the end of the flowing water, and the moire seal is like a golden bell hanging upside down, faintly with a smart atmosphere.

Xiao Er nodded secretly, Hou Zhi's surprise talisman was decent, not just a cat and a tiger.

After that, Hou Zhi took a breath before taking the second piece of rune paper, and after closing his eyes for a long time, he began to put down his pen.

This talisman is not a stroke can be outlined, Hou Zhi's pen is like flying, a little cloud of smoke, and the rune paper falls with his pen, like a lotus blooming layer by layer.

After finishing drawing the second talisman of Shao Lean, Hou Zhi put down the pen with a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and smiled proudly at Xiao Er: "How is it?"

Could it be that he is really a genius of spells, or that losing a love can really make people reborn?

Xiao Er looked Hou Zhi up and down, and was amazed in his heart.

"Yes, he's very talented. ”

"Then ......" Hou Zhi was a little excited when Xiao Er admitted, "Can you teach me some other charms, such as the kind you use, the kind that draws talismans directly in the air?"

"The source of the power of Cangjie runes is not the power of ordinary rune paper, but the power of words based on the consensus of people's hearts, which is different from all the rune schools you have seen so far. Xiao Er shook his head decisively, "What's more, I'm not qualified to open a mountain and accept disciples now, and I can't teach you this method." ”

"Then ......" Hou Zhi rolled his eyes again, "do you have any other charms that you can teach me?"

"This ......" Xiao Er suddenly remembered his other student in the talisman, and couldn't help but sigh a little.

Zhang Anran's talent in talismans is extremely mediocre, but she has painstakingly passed on some of the best talisman classics in the world, and she is not willing to practice. And Hou Zhi's talent in runes is so good, but he even has to go to the Wild Ghost Collection to buy a cultivation method, if he doesn't happen to happen to be in the forest last week, I'm afraid that he can only buy some scattered and crude exercises that don't fit him at all.

However, although the Eight Sects of Wisdom and Wisdom are not the Dao methods of Cangjie, the power is not trivial after all, and the trick is not comparable to the magic powers that can be seen on those wild ghost collections, do you want to pass it on to Hou Zhi?

Xiao Er looked at Hou Zhi's eyes full of hope, and remembered the incident where Wang Shuangcheng looked for him yesterday, so he said: "In this way, I may have a small case in a while, if you can solve it, I will teach you another talisman." ”

"Really?" Hou Zhi became excited again.

Sure enough, at noon, Wang Shuangcheng's phone called again, and Xiao Er directly turned on the speakerphone in front of Hou Zhi.

"Mr. Xiao Xiao, I'm afraid I still have to ask you to make a move, just according to the price you said. This Mr. Wang got straight to the point and said directly.

Xiao Er realized that this day had passed, and things had changed again.

The secretary Xing didn't know what kind of ghost he had provoked, and at first the house was a mess, and the next day he hid in the office to sleep, and when he woke up, he was holding a scary skeleton.

On the night of the third day, Secretary Xing began to have nightmares, in which his ancestral home in his hometown in the countryside was on fire, and his old father and mother were entangled and devoured by countless resentful ghosts.

When he woke up, he found himself covered in blood.

"Xiao Xing is about to collapse, anyway, please hurry up and think of a way!"

"You can rest assured. ”

Xiao Er hung up the phone, then handed a handful of talisman paper to Hou Zhi, and said casually: "I heard it, I'll leave it to you." ”

Hou Zhi also recovered from the excitement of the morning at this time, listened to the terrible words on the other end of the phone, and said with some hesitation: "I...... Can I?"

Xiao Er patted him on the shoulder: "In my experience, the one who made trouble this time is either a ghost thing without intelligence, or a little demon who has not yet transformed, you have learned the talisman now, if you use your brain, you should open it up." ”

Hou Zhi was a little weak: "But...... I've never had anyone fight the Fa, this ...... It can't be a surprise, right?"

"This level of little demon and little ghost, even if it hurts mortals, it takes a lot of effort, you have all observed the realm, even if there is an accident, it is only a slight injury. Xiao Er said, "And if you want to save Ming Xiaoying, then to put it bluntly, isn't the purpose of your cultivation to fight, you have to practice." ”

Xiao Er is right, what is longevity, what is true Taoism, Hou Zhi has no concept at all. He did not hesitate to work hard in the matter of cultivation, just because he wanted to find the girl who left the Xuanniao Tears to him.

After Hou Zhi was silent for a moment, he nodded heavily, took the talisman paper and address, and walked out.

Xiao Er showed a hint of a smile, and disappeared to follow.

————

The university area is not close to the new city, and Hou Zhizai is proficient in public transportation, and it took him two hours to find Xing Sen's door.

This is a very common commercial apartment building, up and down 20 floors, upstairs and downstairs neighbors don't smell each other, naturally will not come back, Xing Sen's family lives on the tenth floor, he didn't dare to come back after the family accident, the room was naturally empty.

Hou Zhi took the elevator upstairs, but instead of going through the main entrance, he drew a spell and passed through the wall.

The wall charm can pass through the sand, gravel and civil engineering, but it cannot pass through some modern composite materials, and in the contemporary world, everything can pass through the house of the earth escape charm must be shoddy by the black-hearted real estate developer.

Hou Zhi thought of the evaluation of the real person last week in the general talisman, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, it seems that this house is really ordinary.

After entering the room, I saw that the house was really a mess as Wang Shuangcheng said, everything was thrown everywhere, and it didn't look like it was inhabited.

But more importantly, as soon as he entered this room, Hou Zhi's body gently rang a crisp bell.

And with Hou Zhi's current perception, he can also detect a trace of demonic energy.

According to Xiao Er, most of the demon clans that can live in the human world can hide their aura, even if they can't completely hide it from the monks and their kind, they won't easily leave traces wherever they pass.

There is a faint demonic aura here that is not disguised at all, and it really looks like those mountain spirits and wild monsters who have just arrived in the human world in the deep mountains.

It seems that it is indeed not a great thing, and he should have no problem, Hou Zhi patted the dozens of charms in his bag, and secretly cheered for himself.

Then he walked into the bedroom, and looked at the place where the demonic spirit was at its strongest, but it was a skeleton on the bed, the skeleton was a little black and dry, but strangely it did not fall apart, but maintained the shape of a person's complete skeleton, reclining on the bed.

Hou Zhi's hair stood on end, and he was shocked, but he quickly calmed down, I am a cultivator, afraid of this?

Transporting his mana to his eyes and looking closely, Hou Zhi found that this should be a corpse that had been dead for several years, and he didn't know which grave it had been dug up from, and it had been refined by some superficial spells before it became like this.

He boldly touched it with his hand, and found that the bone frame was light and brittle, and it would scatter after being hit hard, if there was anything special, it was probably that you could move it twice in the middle of the night when the yin qi was thick, and the principle was similar to a clockwork toy, and it was useless except for being scary.

"Cut, how can this little trick scare me?" Hou Zhi patted his chest and pulled the quilt over to cover the skeleton, "I just don't want to see such an ugly thing!"

After looking around, Hou Zhi finally confirmed that this was at most just a spirit mischief with a realm comparable to his own, and the means of this prank were not as rich as his own, and it seemed that it was just for scary.

Hou Zhi looked at the time, it was only four o'clock, and there were still several hours before the beginning of the night, so he left here and walked in the direction of Wang Shuangcheng's company.

If Xiao Er was here, in fact, with only that residual qi machine, he could easily track down the place where the spirit settled, but Hou Zhi didn't have the ability, so he could only go to Secretary Xing's side and wait for the rabbit.
