Miao Yin looked at the serious appearance of more than 200 Taoist priests on the martial arts field, and her expression seemed to be very confused.

Not only her, but the three of them also frowned the whole time, as if they were thinking about something.

Liu Xi saw the expressions of the four out of the corner of his eye, and his mind turned and guessed the troubles of the four.

She didn't say it directly, she just didn't know.

After a while, it was finally Miaoyin who spoke first, with a hint of shame in her voice: "Uncle Shi, Miaoyin has something unclear, and I hope that Uncle Miaoyin can solve his doubts." ”

"You ask. ”

Miao Yin paused for a few breaths, quietly took a few long breaths, and then said: "Miao Yin doesn't understand, why do they seem so difficult and difficult to draw talismans? ”

"The difficulty of drawing symbols is that the pen and ink are constantly required, and the strokes cannot be wrong, and the size and thickness are customized. Why do these people draw talismans, but it doesn't feel like they're drawing talismans?"

As soon as Miao Yin's voice fell, the other three also nodded hurriedly, and said one after another: "Uncle Shi, are we wrong or are they wrong?"

"Of course they were wrong. Liu Xi said without hesitation: "They are not drawing talismans at all, they are just putting on a show." ”

The reason why the Taoist priests on the field were so serious and pious, and the difficulty of drawing the talismans was not really integrated into the talismans, but to show them to the old Taoist priests on the viewing platform.

No one knew better than Liu Xi and Qiu Changsheng that these Taoist priests were ordinary people, and there were no real monks. Since he is not a monk, he does not have a spiritual power envoy spell, nor can he store spells through the steps of drawing talismans.

A talisman without a spell is a piece of waste paper.

It's just a piece of waste paper, and it's really that difficult to draw?

At the beginning, there must have been predecessors who left Taoism in the world, so the Taoist will have the skill of drawing talismans handed down.

In the monastic world, almost all monks can draw talismans, which are, of course, the simplest talismans. If you really want to become a talisman master, you need great perseverance, great financial resources and great understanding, and it is impossible for an idle monk to refine a high-level talisman.

But even a beginner-level talisman is already earth-shattering enough to be revered as a god in the eyes of mortals.

Therefore, it is obviously impossible for Liu Xi to deduce the name and master of that predecessor through the tradition of drawing talismans that has been circulated in Taoism.

Maybe not one, but many seniors, after all, monks habitually use talismans to store some quick spells in case of emergency.

The four of Miaoyin were not only relieved when they received Liu Xi's affirmative reply, but also thought that they had been in the view for more than ten years, and they had drawn fake talismans.

It turns out that this group of talents is a fake talisman that is really drawn.

After another half hour or so, the bell rang and the morning bell was struck.

The Taoist presiding officer announced that the time had come and asked everyone to put down their pens and paper and wait at the audience.

At this time, a group of old Taoists on the viewing platform walked down one after another and began to judge the talismans drawn by the Taoist priests along the Zhang Xiang cases between the martial arts fields.

The judges walked quickly, and soon selected the twenty candidates with the best drawings, including Liu Xi and Qiu Changsheng.

The preliminary round is actually just a cutscene, and the purpose is not to select the best, but to eliminate those small factions.

The twenty candidates selected represent a relatively powerful faction in the Daomen, and they are also the most basic forces in the Daomen today.

Therefore, no matter what Liu Xi and Qiu Changsheng paint, even if they draw two tigers on yellow paper, they will also be selected at that time.

Liu Xi and Qiu Changsheng had long known this truth, so going up to draw talismans was just a passing scene, and the ending was already doomed.

Those Taoist priests also seemed to have expected this ending, and they still went up to compete, also in order to show their faces in front of the public, and gain some fame while being familiar.

As long as the talismans they drew were approved by the most revered heads of the Daomen, their worldly fame would immediately rise.

In the future, if someone wants to invite themselves to see feng shui or pray for blessings, the price will have to quadruple.

This is a tacit unspoken rule that everyone knows, but there was a little accident at this time.

"I'm not convinced! shady, you guys are the shady of Chiguoguo. You sanctimonious false Taoist priests, you have blasphemed the Sanqing Patriarch. ”

Someone suddenly shouted loudly, and his voice was terrible and angry.

Everyone looked over one after another, only to see that this person was a middle-aged Taoist priest in his forties, thin and small, wearing a crumpled yellow Taoist robe, standing in front of the audience, shouting at everyone about injustice.

The Taoist priests were silent, and after a while, someone was really fanned by him, stood up angrily, and shouted with him that it was unfair, blasphemed the Sanqing Dao Ancestor, and violated slogans such as Taoist teachings.

Liu Xi sneered: "Hehe, it's interesting." ”

On the viewing platform, the judges frowned and looked at the middle-aged Taoist priests jumping up and down below, as well as the more than 20 Taoist priests he instigated to participate in the competition.

"Who is this stupid?"

The three-no-no Taoist who had the most fiery temper slapped the table, pointed to the middle-aged Taoist priest and asked the disciples serving behind him.

The disciple immediately stepped down from the stage to find the Zhike Taoist priest of the Zhengyi Sect, and after asking for clarification, he quickly walked back.
