After many days, Shi Mian returned to the small courtyard with maple trees on the periphery of the Sunset Mountains. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all these days, there was no trace of the courtyard being seized by other monks, and it was still the decoration when they left. The small square market not far from the courtyard is now empty, and it is deserted and uninhabited.

According to Du Shuo, because there were no spirit beasts in this periphery, the monks could not hunt their prey, so they all left, went to the inner circle where the spirit beasts gathered, and built a larger market.

Shi Mian doesn't need to pit the spirit beast meat now, but she is happy to be quiet, but without the cover of the crowd, she is more likely to be exposed, so she doesn't plan to stay longer.

At this time, she was laying out a formation in the courtyard, planning to ponder the knowledge of this talisman.

The formation is in the Qiankun bag given by Shi Chunxue, because it has been simplified and a detailed description is attached, you only need to swing the array flag and the array plate according to the gourd painting scoop, so it is a layman with black eyes like Shi Mian, and it has also been smoothly laid out.

In order for the formation to start running, it is also necessary to place spirit stones on the array disk. Although Shi Mian said that he slammed the door, he still put it on, after all, this is not a high-level formation, that is, it can isolate the breath and sound, and play a little protective role, among the low-level monks, it is poorer, and it is basically one person, and everyone can afford to use it, which means that this formation does not consume much spirit stones, and if a spirit stone is put up, it can last for about two days.

Of course, it is impossible for Shi Chunxue not to prepare high-end goods, but he is very thoughtful, and there are all kinds of goods, which is convenient for her to choose and use according to the situation. For example, now, she needs to keep a low profile as much as possible, and there is no danger around, as long as the formation can play a prompting role, if she uses a rare high-level formation, it won't turn herself into a target.

As soon as Shi Mian laid out the formation, the entire courtyard was silent for a moment, and a thin light curtain shrouded the courtyard, and occasionally leaves floated up, which would immediately bounce away. Coupled with Du Shuo, who was guarding outside, finally made her feel a little more at ease.

Walking into the wing room and sitting down, Shi Mian took out the talisman pen, talisman paper and talisman ink from the shop, and put them on the table one by one.

"What a good pen...... she leaned closer and stroked the purple carving brush, her eyes almost turning into a heart shape.

Although it is worthless in other people's shops, she is also knowledgeable, and it is impossible to really buy a defective product that is useless. This purple carving brush, in all aspects, is qualified, although it does not use any high-grade materials, and it has no strengths, and its performance is mediocre, but she is a novice, and it is just right to use it, and it is too good to destroy the heavens.

took out the booklet given by Chen Chang, and Shi Mian looked at it seriously.

This booklet not only has the production method of changing the talisman, but also comes with the basic knowledge of talisman making, and several other common talisman production methods, those basic knowledge seems to have been rubbed, the beginning of the content and Shi Mian used to read in her father's study "Fu Sutra" exactly the same, "Fu Jing Sutra" is also the most basic common talisman book, Shi Mian didn't understand this a lot at that time, turned the beginning, felt incomprehensible, and dropped it.

Now she's interested in going to see ...... But I still can't understand it. She still doesn't recognize all the words, and this booklet is not like the "Book of Eternal Life", which uses the most simple language composed of common words, but all kinds of rare words emerge in endlessly, and from time to time there are idioms that she has never seen, which makes her look big.

She had to ask the water lily to come out, the water lily is smart, and the mouth is used to be excellent, Shi Mian was still dizzy before, after the water lily's simple and easy-to-understand explanation and narration, she didn't take long to get through this booklet.

To put it simply, talisman making is a process of communicating the aura of heaven and earth.

Different talismans, there are different patterns, in the process of drawing talismans, you need to have no distractions, full attention, the aura is evenly injected into the talisman pen, and then sealed into the pattern, you can become a talisman.

Although it is simple to say, it is not easy to do, and Shi Mian then deeply realized this.

Although the utility of the talismans is different, they are uniformly divided into high and low, from the first order to the ninth order, the basic talismans such as the shape change talisman, the water purification talisman, and the fireball talisman all belong to the lowest first-order talisman. In each order, the same kind of talisman, according to the smoothness of the talisman's technique, the purity of the aura and the level of the materials used, is also divided into upper, middle and lower grades, and the difference in the power of the lower-grade talisman and the high-grade talisman can be clearly seen with the eyes.

This kind of thing is a change of shape, the upper grade and the lower grade are nothing more than a difference in duration, which is inconvenient to observe, so Shi Mian chose the fireball charm, which is the easiest to observe the difference in power, to practice.

The standard pattern on the booklet, Shi Mian couldn't understand it at all, it was obviously not a word, but a specific pattern, and she had to memorize the pattern by rote.

Pulled a piece of fine pulp rune paper and spread it on the case, Shi Mian opened the jar containing the rune ink, and dipped it with a purple carving pen, this rune ink is the most ordinary cinnabar, as soon as the tip of the pen was dipped in, the milky white hair of the short-backed spirit sheep was dyed red in an instant, and the color contrast was very beautiful, Shi Mian couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and then calmed down and drew it on the rune paper.

She gently dropped the tip of the pen, according to the pattern engraved in her heart, slowly moved the tip of the pen, little by little, meticulously depicted the pattern, unconsciously suppressed her breath, her eyes followed the nib of the pen to swim, rare seriousness.

After a long time, when she finally finished painting, she was already stiff in neck and sweating profusely.

"It's done! It didn't turn into ashes, it's a talisman! Shi Mian excitedly picked up the rune paper and shook it, looking at the pattern exactly the same as the one on the booklet with satisfaction.

“……”

The water lily didn't even want to say anything about her.

"I said little potato baby, didn't you notice that you forgot to infuse the spiritual power into the talisman pen?"

“……”

Shi Mian's smile immediately froze on his face.

The auraless piece of talisman paper slid down from between her fingers, fluttering, and falling gently to the ground.

"Like...... It's forgot. ”

Spread out a rune paper again, Shi Mian remembered to infuse spiritual power this time, and concentrated on starting from scratch again, but unfortunately this time he only drew a little, and the rune paper burned up unexpectedly, turning into ash in a blink of an eye, Shi Mian looked at it blankly, dumbfounded.

"Little potato baby, the spiritual power should be infused evenly, the lines of this pattern bear the turn, there are thick and thin, you can't inject a certain amount of spiritual power, the thick strokes will be insufficient spiritual power, and the thin strokes will not be able to bear so much spiritual power, and it will naturally fail, you know?" The water lily reluctantly analyzed it for her.

Shi Mian suddenly realized, and spread out the next piece of talisman paper with great ambition.

This time, I finally lasted halfway, but Shi Mian's hand shook and he was ruined again. This time, she paid good attention to the uniform distribution of spiritual power, but she couldn't take care of the pattern, and it was inevitable that the strokes would be jerky and stagnant, and the result of unsmooth movements would be to fail again.

After a few times, Shi Mian had a sore back, his eyes were astringent, and his already pitiful patience was exhausted.

But the more stupid you are, the easier it is to get tough. She's so energetic that if she doesn't make one, she won't stop!

However, until twilight hit, the spiritual power in her body was completely consumed, and none of the talismans could successfully carry out half of it.

This is actually not surprising, after all, the more she fails, the more anxious her mentality becomes, so reciprocating, the first thing to make talismans is to unite the mind and spirit, and it is strange that she can succeed.

Shi Mian sat paralyzed on the futon, holding his breath with himself, and almost didn't cry with his mouth open.

"Okay, let's recover our spiritual power first, recite the "Sutra of Eternal Life", and then continue when your mind is stable. This is the first time you have made talismans, and the rune paper has only been scrapped about 20 sheets, what can it represent? I didn't read what was written in the booklet, beginners with ordinary qualifications generally have to fail a hundred times before they can successfully make the first talisman, be a little patient, take your time. The water lily onlookers were sad, and seeing that she was hit hard, it was difficult to say words to comfort her.

“……”

Shi Mian was silent and sighed.

She was in a very depressed mood now, and she didn't want to devote herself to cultivation so quickly, so she simply got up, planning to find Du Shuo for a barbecue before continuing.

The thought of eating made her feel better. Stretching his waist, his bones crackled, Shi Mian put away all the things on the table, and by the way, he cleaned up the pile of talisman ashes that had become a hillock, opened the formation, and walked out of the yard in a leisurely manner.

"Du Shuo ......"

"Huh?"

There was no one outside the door, Shi Mian scratched his head, a little puzzled, and looked around again, but still didn't find it.

It's strange, when Du Shuo stared at her and promised to guard her, she was panicked when he saw that look, he didn't have a reason to be lazy, was there something wrong?

"Du Shuo! Du Shuo! She screamed a few times, but still didn't respond.

The surroundings were quiet, there was no movement from other monks or spirit beasts, and the last trace of the sunset also sank, and the sky was completely dark, and Shi Mian was stunned, and a trace of cold air inexplicably rose on his back.

"Liar......" She grunted twice in dissatisfaction, and casually picked a direction, intending to find Du Shuo.

Before she could take a few steps, the water lily, which had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Idiot!" The water lily's voice was a little tense.

"Huh?" Shi Meng is inexplicable.

"Hurry up and hide in the formation, something is wrong, Du Shuo is afraid that it will be branched out!"
