Chapter 38 You can consider apprenticeship with Niu Taoist
As the old camel laughed and left, Daoist Niu took out a box of cinnabar from his arms and put it on the table, and then took three deep breaths and grinded it, and said in pieces: "The sky is round, the law is nine chapters, I write today, and ten thousand ghosts ......are hidden."
After grinding, the cow Taoist priest took out a red pen and dotted it with cinnabar, and then shouted loudly while writing the straw paper: "The five thunder gods will be electrocuted, and Hua Zena will save his life, and then bind the ghosts and subdue the evil spirits, and destroy all the dead and alive, I am as anxious as the law~~~~"
In the midst of the Niu Daoist shouting in frustration, Wan Sheng clearly saw that a trace of a microcyclone emanating from his body seeped into the rune paper, and then a red character paper surrounded by a cyclone was completed in one go.
Wan Sheng's eyelids jumped wildly, this Niu Taoist priest is really capable! The cyclone on this talisman must be the mana he blessed? But in addition to being shocked, Wan Sheng was indeed extremely happy, because his own eyesight could see the mana of others, and this must be the result of the successful soul refining last night.
Then the Niu Taoist priest was full of enthusiasm and drew two more rune papers. After the completion of these three rune papers, the Niu Taoist priest also exhaled a long breath as if he was tired and paralyzed: "The throat of the shouting is dry, water!"
Wan Sheng hurriedly stepped forward respectfully and saluted a bowl of water: "Dao Chang is hard!"
Niu Daoist took a sip, and then smiled: "Of course it is very hard to draw talismans! Today is also considered to be a fate with Xiaoyou, these three five thunder spells will be sent to Xiaoyou, Xiaoyou will paste this talisman paper at home can be a town, pasted on the door of this Yizhuang can be a ghost, put it on the body can be self-defense!"
After receiving the three pieces of rune paper surrounded by cyclones, Wan Sheng was like a treasure: "Thank you, Daoist!"
At this moment, the old camel went and returned and laughed: "It's hard to draw talismans? It's simple, you get a stereotype to engrave the talismans, and then you just keep printing them like printing New Year's pictures, why do you need to work so hard?"
Daoist Niu squirted a sip of tea and squirted Wan Sheng's face, and said hurriedly: "What do you know about this camel? This talisman must be done by yourself, and you must be single-minded!"
The old camel smiled: "You can be single-minded and single-minded, and the printing is not the same?"
Daoist Niu said angrily: "It's different! Only those who draw it by hand can do it!"
At this time, they were arguing, but Wan Sheng was stunned on the spot! Because the rune paper in Wan Sheng's hand was also soaked a lot by his mouthful of water, Wan Sheng watched the cyclone on the rune paper evaporate away.
This talisman is mostly useless, right?
Wan Sheng was embarrassed to ask for the rune paper, so he asked, "Niu Dao Chief, is it just that the drawing is exactly the same as yours?"
Niu Dao's morale is not in one place: "If you don't know how to draw talismans, you can make ghosts and gods laugh! If you are willing to learn, you can worship me as a teacher." ”
The old camel smiled and said, "Do you want tuition?"
Niu Daoist cut off: "How can there be apprentices who don't charge tuition?"
The old camel cut off: "Okay, okay, let's start work quickly!"
So the priest shook his spirits again and began the afternoon ritual again. And Wan Sheng looked at these three runes that were dry and wrinkled, and there was no "cyclone", and he really couldn't cry or laugh. If you get a little water, it won't work, and the mana of this Niu Taoist is too weak, right? Anyway, I still go back at night and ask Sister Xiao Zhuo about this rune paper, by the way, it seems that my mother-in-law also knows a little, so I will ask my mother-in-law first.
This ritual was not finished until sunset. The tired Taoist Niu cleaned up the guy and went home, and before leaving, he didn't forget to turn around and say hello: "Little friend, the tuition fee is fifty Wen, and you can use fifty catties of rice, and you can teach and pack the meeting!"
The old camel said angrily: "Okay, okay, you go, you go!"
The old camel looked at the remnant sun worriedly and shook his head, and then said to Wan Sheng: "Boy, I'll get off work today, and Song Tou should come back tomorrow." ”
Wan Sheng said with a smile: "Master Camel don't worry, I think Song Tou and they must have succeeded." ”
The old camel cut a sound: "Killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, success does not mean that you are fine." ”
Wan Sheng frowned, and what he said was right.
At this moment, there was an earth-shattering sound of gongs on the street outside the yamen, and a rare roar came in: "Taihu County 500 miles of fast horse ......"
The old camel was pleasantly surprised: "Good news!"
Wan Sheng and Lao Camel immediately rushed to the main courtyard of the yamen, at this time the main courtyard was already crowded with officials, and the people outside the door were full of onlookers, and the county lord was receiving a smiling sergeant in the courtyard.
The sergeant took a big sip of water to ease the weather and officially announced: "Master Qiqi, last night Wang Zhutou, General Zhao Bi, Song Tixing, Zhou Shaoxia, Pegasus Meteor traveled 400 miles at night to smash the Taihu bandits' nest, and 133 of the extremely vicious Duguhong henchmen were corrected on the spot, and 30 women who were captured by him were rescued! ”
The crowd cheered, and the county magistrate was ecstatic: "Is there any damage to my department?"
The sergeant smiled and said: "Our unit is unharmed! General Zhao Bi, the head of the king, specially told him to report on the exploits of Zhou Tong and Zhou Shaoxia, if it weren't for Zhou Shaoxia's courage to be possessed by a god, I would have been more than lucky in this trip, and Zhou Shaoxia alone would have killed more than 100 bandits!"
"Wow!!" The people in the audience exclaimed again: "This Zhou Tong really deserves to be an overlord, and he can suppress bandits at the age of thirteen!"
"Kill a hundred! This is the demeanor of a famous general!"
The county magistrate laughed and patted the soldier's shoulder: "You also have merit! Let's go, tonight we will go to Zhou Yuanwai's mansion to celebrate the merit, and we will not return if we are not drunk!"
The audience cheered like thunder, and Wan Sheng was even more shocked on the spot! It turned out that Zhou Tong participated in this crackdown on bandits, killing more than 100 bandits and saving 30 women, no wonder his merits skyrocketed! Only this time, Wan Sheng was convinced by Zhou Tong, and he really didn't accept it!
In the city's firecracker celebration, Wan Sheng returned home with emotion.
At this time, the mother-in-law was waiting for Wansheng to come back with a smile: "The child is hungry, the meal is ready." ”
Wan Sheng smiled: "Okay, I'm also very happy today, I want to eat one more bowl." ”
The mother-in-law smiled: "You don't like Zhou Tong's contribution the most, I'm afraid that this battle is going to be famous in Jiangnan, or even in Beijing, you don't have any idea at all?"
Wan Sheng shook his head and smiled: "Usually he must be unhappy to look at him horizontally and vertically, but this time I don't have any ideas, really." ”
The mother-in-law laughed: "Okay, good, don't be jealous, your state of mind will be a big step up." ”
After all, he sent me so many merits, don't thank him for his past? Wan Sheng shook his head and smiled: "I don't think I'm in this state of mind yet." It's just that I see that the whole city is happy, and I'm really happy. ”
The mother-in-law smiled: "This is also progress." ”
Wan Sheng remembered something, and immediately took out the three talismans given by Daoist Niu and asked: "Mother-in-law, today Niu Daring is doing things in the yamen, he gave me three talismans, although this talisman is wasted, but I can see the mana he added to the talisman, I think he still has some real skills, am I looking for him to learn talismans and practice the spell of exorcism with one hand?"
The mother-in-law took the talisman and squinted at it: "Yo, five thunder pen spells!"
Wan Shengqi said: "What is this?"
The mother-in-law said in a deep voice: "This is a real spell, not a magic rune." ”
Wan Sheng was surprised: "This, what do you mean?"
The mother-in-law said solemnly: "The spell is a fairy art, unfathomable, and it is impossible for ordinary mortals to understand and learn it even in their lifetime, so Zhang Daoling, the master of Zhang Tian, invented the spell, that is, to burn the simplified version of the spell on yellow paper and give it to the mortal disciples under the sect to use." In this way, the mortal disciples under the sect do not need to spend time on understanding spells, they only need to focus on improving their own cultivation, and the higher their cultivation, the stronger the power of the spell. This is the true magic method, which is used by the power of heaven and earth for my use. However, the spells on the rune paper are only simplified spells after all, and their power is still limited, but even if they are simplified spells, few people can really master them. ”
Wan Sheng nodded: "Then what about the runes?"
The mother-in-law smiled: "It's even simpler to ask for a rune, that is, to write the names of the land, the city god, the Taishang Laojun, the green dragon and the white tiger, the Xuanwu Vermilion Bird, and other gods on the talisman, and ask them to subdue the demons." Please runes are powerful, but they often don't work, because the gods are also very busy and are not at home at every turn. And the gods also have tempers, and it depends on the face of the person who invites them, if the caster is a nobody, they still won't move. Generally, when using the Divine Rune, it is most likely to perform a major ritual for several days in a row to ensure that the immortal must be at home, such as the Prayer for Rain spell. And asking for runes is not working in many places, such as the underworld where you said that Miss Xiaozhuo took you to, where you used the runes to call the heavens and the earth to be spiritual. ”
Wan Sheng suddenly understood: "That means that the true magic spell is omnipotent?"
The mother-in-law smiled: "Then it depends on the user's cultivation, if it is a cow Taoist priest's cultivation, it is difficult to say, and ordinary people use it is waste paper." However, it's also good if you can comprehend one of the spells from this simplified version of the spell charm. ”
Wan Sheng nodded: "I know, then I will worship Niu Taoist as a teacher when I have money another day." ”
The mother-in-law was surprised: "You have money another day?"
Wan Sheng looked around left and right and said incomprehensibly: "There may be a reward for the achievements in the yamen." ”
The mother-in-law also agreed, but nodded again and again: "Okay, good! Yiduo is not pressing, although the Niu Taoist is unreliable, but it is also good to look at this talisman, and it is still worth learning." ”
……
After eating and bathing, Wan Sheng continued his daily embroidery, and then when he was sleepy, Wan Sheng began to sleep with the lamp again.
Then in a drowsy state, Wan Sheng heard Sister Xiao Zhuo's call again, and as soon as his eyes opened, he saw Sister Xiao Zhuo shaking the three runes and standing in front of him with a smile.
Wan Shengqi said: "Huh, the rune paper on my body!"
Xiao Zhuo smiled: "You actually believe this?"
Wan Sheng smiled: "I also plan to learn to draw talismans from that Niu Taoist priest." ”
Xiao Zhuo laughed: "That Taoist priest? I still wanted to come to my abandoned house to exorcise ghosts, but this rune paper can be regarded as an opportunistic way of Taoist priests, you can also learn it, and it can be regarded as a quick way." But don't indulge, if you continue to indulge, you will go astray, and you will be on the wrong side. ”
Wan Sheng suddenly realized: "I understand, my mother-in-law also said that this rune paper is a simplified version of the immortal spell, not authentic." ”
Xiao Zhuo smiled: "It seems that the old lady is not simple." Okay, you just learn the quick way first, or should I enjoy those heavenly spirits first?"
Wan Sheng smiled: "Of course!"
Wan Sheng remembered something again and asked, "By the way, these three talismans should be waste paper, how can they come to the underworld?
Xiao Zhuo said solemnly: "Paper waste, the Heavenly Master's decree is not wasted, of course, it is also a waste magic weapon." As long as you have the heart, you can also infuse the talisman paper with soul power to re-activate. ”
Wan Sheng was pleasantly surprised: "How to infuse soul power?"
Xiao Zhuo smiled: "Okay, I'll teach you when I infuse Jinpa with mana at dawn." ”
Wan Sheng said happily: "Okay!"
