Fang Zhong became curious, so he said, "I'll draw a talisman for the Dao Chief." ”

Pu Xuanxi said: "Okay." He handed the cinnabar-stained brush to Fang Zhong and asked, "Do you know how to write?" ”

Fang Zhongdao: "I have learned a little roughly, but the writing of this dragon flying and phoenix dance is very unfamiliar." ”

Pu Xuan said: "It's okay, if you are familiar with the painting, you will naturally draw it according to my handwriting, and when you are familiar with the drawing, you will pass on the method of concentrating and directing qi." He explained the essentials of drawing talismans again and asked Fang Zhong to practice on the side.

Fang Zhong took the pen and drew the talisman attentively. The talisman is divided into several kinds, some are shaped like the heavens and the earth, some are shaped like the top of the treasure cover, some are round and strong, and there are more elegant and light, and they can't distinguish a lot, but they feel that the strokes in the talisman imply the truth of the mystery of heaven and earth, and there is a faint spirit on the paper. So I drew one after another, and I couldn't name these many names, such as the Escape Talisman, the Vajra Talisman, and the Corpse Talisman.

Pu Xuan sat aside, took out the package that Senior Brother Zhende Daoist gave him when he was dying, and peeled off the outer layer of oilcloth, revealing a small two-volume old scroll. When I opened one of the scrolls, I saw that the scrolls were densely packed with text, and the four big characters of "Daoyuan General Outline" were written on the ancient seal.

Pu Xuan was shocked and took a closer look.

"The Taoist, the way of all things, the gate of all laws, encompasses heaven and earth, and is better than the five elements. The source, outside the three vehicles, within the five elements, there is no other, another wind and thunder. The source of the Tao is the heart, the heaven and the earth, all things, the Tao is the way, and there are nine tricks under it. This text is followed by another line of slightly larger inscriptions, which read: "Ground Character Formula." "After that, there are all kinds of spell formulas, many of which are unheard of, and the earth escape technique is impressive.

Pu Xuan hurriedly opened another scroll, and the scroll also had four big characters written on the Daoyuan General Outline, and the preface was exactly the same, but after the nine tips, it was written: "Thunder word formula." "The Lightning Strike Mantra and the Five Thunder Fa are also impressively included, but they are only at the top of the list, and they are all minor Fa.

Pu Xuan's heart was shocked, no less than the five thunders: Where did these two scrolls come from? Did my Maoshan Land and Lei Ershu come from these two volumes? The spells of the two-volume scroll are far more strange than those of this sect, why have you only learned a few small methods? Countless questions filled his mind, causing Pu Xuan to shake his head constantly.

Fang Zhong was tired of drawing, and when he turned his head and saw Pu Xuan's stupid appearance, he put the brush on the inkstone, and tiptoed to Pu Xuan, but saw that there were two small scrolls on the table, so he picked them up and read them carefully.

Pu Xuan remembered the teacher-inheritance relationship of his own sect, Maoshan and Taiyi and Tianshi are all Kunlun side branches, which are passed down by a teacher. In the past, when the teacher was in Japan, he asked about the origin of the ancestor, as if he said that when the ancestor cultivated the Tao, he was an outer disciple of Kunlun who did not enter the room, and I don't know why he offended Kunlun Zhangjiao, not only failed to enter the room to become an official disciple, but also was driven down the mountain. In a fit of anger, with the spells he learned in Kunlun and his own talent, he became a family of his own in the world, opened the door to teach apprentices, and passed on three disciples, all of whom became great weapons, which were the three portals of Taiyi, Tianshi, and Maoshan in the future. Could it be that this scroll was handed down by the ancestors? Nine tricks and nine tricks, there are only two tricks of earth and thunder here, is there another seven tricks in the hands of Taiyi and the Heavenly Master? What are the seven tips? Although my Maoshan Dao technique is peculiar, it is not very strange, why don't you take the spell on the scroll and use it for your own use? Yes, yes, my Maoshan Dao Technique itself is not enough in its fundamental cultivation, and I don't even have a person who practices Qi to return to God, let alone a higher realm, maybe I can't do this at all? But where did this scroll come from?

Pu Xuan was thinking wildly, when he suddenly heard Fang Zhong shouting in his ear: "Wonderful." Pu Xuan was startled.

Pu Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "What are you calling blindly, do you understand?" ”

Fang Zhong shook his head and said, "I don't understand it very well, I just think it's interesting." ”

Pu Xuan said: "What's interesting? ”

Fang Zhong said: "Dao Chief, look at this land word. Isn't it amazing that this spell that shrinks the ground into inches can make people travel thousands of miles in a day. There is also this art of retreat, the original retreat drawing talisman is just the power of the true qi operation temporarily stored on the talisman, when the need to borrow the real fire to burn the talisman, triggering the art of retreat, is an expedient measure for people who are not cultivated enough, and those who are advanced in Taoism can simply condense the qi to draw the talisman in the palm of the hand, and directly cast the spell. ”

Pu Xuan couldn't help but nod his head when he heard it, but sighed again: "Yes, although this scroll spell is wonderful, it is still useless to you and me. ”

Fang Zhong was puzzled: "How can it be useless? ”

Pu Xuan said: "If you want to condense qi and draw talismans, at least you have to refine and refine qi to the condensation period, even so, you can only draw some small talismans, if you want to cast those advanced talismans, a talisman is extremely complicated, how can you be competent in the condensation period." This scroll has always been kept in my door, passed down for several generations, I don't know how many ancestors have seen it, but only handed down some of the kung fu of pinching spells and drawing talismans, but it is not useless, but beyond the power of the reason. Alas! It's a pity that two good books have been passed into the hands of disciples, but I am afraid that they will also be wiped out from the world. After that, his expression was a little lonely.

Pu Xuan rolled up the scroll, wrapped it in a fragile cloth and put it away closely, and then regained his slippery appearance and said: "Come, come, come, I will teach you the method of drawing talismans." "I explained how to pour the true qi into the cinnabar along the barrel of the pen, and then drew the trick of the charm, and demonstrated it myself. Pu Xuan said: "The first thing to draw is in the person, the second is in the symbol, and again in the materials." If the higher the cultivation, the stronger the true qi, the more powerful the talisman will be. And the more complex the rune, the greater the mana contained. As for the materials, cinnabar is just the most basic thing, which can keep the true qi loss on the rune paper with little loss, but the time should not be too long, if a rune is not used for three or five years, it is equivalent to a piece of waste paper. ”

Fang Zhong picked up the pen in his hand and asked, "In addition to cinnabar, is there anything that can preserve mana for a longer time?" ”

Pu Xuan said: "Of course there is, gold powder and silver powder are excellent materials for drawing talismans, and it is said that the Dharma body left by those enlightened monks, grinding powder to draw talismans with their flesh and bones, has great power." It's a pity that the poor road is too poor to afford these valuable things."

Fang Zhong learned the appearance of Puxuan, Qi condensation and wrist, wrist in hand, hand guide in pen, stained with cinnabar, and drew a talisman. After finishing the talisman, Fang Zhong was anxious to know whether it would be successful or not, and without waiting for Pu Xuan's command, the fire flashed in his palm, and in the blink of an eye, he burned the talisman paper, and fled with a sigh.

After an hour of incense, with a plop, Fang Zhong's face turned pale and fell behind Pu Xuan, and he said breathlessly: "Dao Master forgot to teach me the method of escape, I thought it would take a day and a night to show up?" ”

Pu Xuan said: "It's you who are anxious, when did you come to ask me again, fortunately, you are a beginner, and your true qi is not deep, so you haven't been in hiding for a long time." You listen well, escape into the formless, if you want to manifest yourself, except if you are restrained by others or the magic power is exhausted, otherwise as long as you drink a solution in the center of your mouth, you can manifest. ”

Fang Zhongxi said: "I see. ”

Pu Xuan suddenly said: "Fang Zhong, the poor road passes on the secret of your own door, you accept my skills, you are my apprentice, you will change your mouth to call me master in the future, don't call me a long way." ”

Fang Zhong was stunned and said, "You want to call Master?" ”

Pu Xuanxi said: "Yes, yes, that's what it's called." Unexpectedly, Fang Zhong shook his head and said, "I don't worship the Taoist as a teacher. ”

Seeing that Fang Zhong didn't recognize himself as a master, Pu Xuan hurriedly said: "If you go back to the mountain with me, you are a disciple of my sect, so naturally you have to kowtow to the master, who are you not worshipping me?" ”

Fang Zhong said: "I need to worship someone who has the ability, how can I use a wooden sword like you, pinch the talisman and draw spells, I have never seen someone like you who can't fight and can only run." Therefore, if you want to worship, you have to worship a character like my Uncle Jiang as a master. ”

Pu Xuan was angry, and said to Fang Zhong: "Don't look down on this wooden sword, the rules passed down in my door only make the wooden sword not make Jin Ge, so as to respond to the virtue of a good life in heaven, and not to kill wantonly, do you understand." ”

Fang Zhongqi said: "The rules in the door only make wooden swords? No, my Uncle Jiang won't use wooden swords. ”

Pu Xuan's face was stunned, and he almost wore a lie in his heart, and hurriedly changed his words: "That's your Uncle Jiang's violation of discipline for a while, and he must usually make more wooden swords." Okay, okay, I won't fight with you, you don't call me master, but after you go back to the mountain with me, if no one accepts you as an apprentice, you need to worship me as a teacher. "I made up my mind, I tricked Fang Zhongyu up the mountain first, and after I went up the mountain, I was afraid that one of his children would go to the sky.

The two left the shore and headed south.

On this day, when I went to the boundary of the Huai River, the characters on both sides of the Huai River gradually became more abundant, and there were more shops along the road. Pu Xuan took Fang Zhong to find a tea shop on the side of the road to rest and fill his belly.

Pu Xuan asked for three flatbreads and two bowls of coarse tea, took one cake and threw it to the little monstrous beast to eat, and sat on the bench with Fang Zhong, chewing slowly with a mouthful of tea and a mouthful of cake. The hideous beast took the cake in its mouth, squatted at Fang Zhong's feet, and munched on it, attracting the amazement of several tea customers on the side.

The two of them didn't bother to pay attention to others' pointing and pointing, and when they were eating by themselves, they heard someone in the distance say viciously: "Dao Ye is dying of thirst, and he can't serve tea yet!" ”

The teaman was taken aback and hurriedly stepped forward to entertain him.

Pu Xuan turned his head and looked at it, slightly stunned, only to see a few yellow-robed Taoists next to the table holding a blue-robed Taoist with a blue nose and swollen face, and behind them there were two strong men in yellow with swords on their backs, who were only thirty years old but looked very strong, and an awe-inspiring aura was formed on their faces. There were two tea patrons at that table, but when they saw these people coming, they hurriedly moved elsewhere.

Pu Xuan looked at those yellow-robed Taoists, and said in his heart that this is not a person from the Taiyi Sect, he belongs to the same Taoist sect as him, so he can't neglect the number of courtesy, stood up and walked to the side of a few Taoists, raised his hand and said: "Maoshan Puxuan, I have seen all Taoist brothers." The yellow-robed Taoists were stunned for a moment, and before they could answer, the green-robed Taoists who were escorted suddenly shouted: "Senior brother, save me quickly!" ”

Pu Xuan was startled, looked carefully, and saw that the green-robed Taoist who was escorted was vaguely familiar, and then stared, it turned out to be the third junior brother who stayed on the mountain, and his face was beaten and his nose was blue and swollen, and he almost couldn't recognize it.
