Chapter Forty-Six: Yang Sheng Walks Away
The two of them traveled for a few days, fortunately He Xiu went forward to explore a few miles away, and did not encounter strange changes, so they were at ease and settled, and there were many less worries, and then with Chu Qi's steps, they trekked for a day, and hurried slowly, but dozens of miles, and then they were in danger, and they were even more protracted, and they didn't know when they arrived in Zhongyuan.
On that day, Chu Qi took out a piece of talisman paper from his bag, wrote a few lines of text on the paper with Danqing, waited until dusk, blew the bone whistle to summon He Xiu, handed it to his hand, and said: "Xiu'er, you have to go for a trip, find it for me, this radius of ten miles, are there any plants on this paper, help me pick some back." ”
He Xiu took it with a smile, raised his hand to look at it, and said with a sad face: "Little Seventh Brother, what kind of plant are you writing about, I... I don't understand. ”
Chu Qi slapped his head and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I forgot that you don't know the names of these plants, so I'll draw them down, and you can look for them according to the map." He thought for a while, and said with a serious face: "Everything is based on retreat, don't take risks easily, do you hear?"
He Xiu pursed her mouth: "I heard ......"
Chu Qi smiled heartily, He Xiu showed his face when he saw it, and a touch of red light quietly climbed up to the tip.
In the second half of the night, Chu Qi leaned on the spruce, sat on the withered leaves and pretended to sleep, only to feel that the tip of the nose was itchy, the eyelids trembled, the eyes opened slightly, under the silver-white full moon, He Xiu's pretty little face was shining, she put away the fingers hooked in her right hand, smiled mischievously, and said, "Little Seventh Brother, I'm back." ”
Chu Qi straightened his hair bun, straightened his clothes, and said with a smile: "Xiu'er, you have worked hard." ”
He Xiu shook his head, handed over the cloth bag containing the materials, Chu Qi opened it with both hands, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a sigh of relief: "This Yangsheng horse fetus, the back leaf veins are white, different from the ordinary horse fetus, the back is purple, and both can be used in medicine, the nature is warm and bitter, the blood is invigorating and relieving pain, and the poison is muscles; If the material used to make rune paper requires ten years of heat, the whitening of the leaf veins will become heavier and better over time, until it is transparent and the highest quality. Chu Qi took the plant in his hand, looked back and forth, and said with a smile: "I think this Yangsheng horse fetus should be about thirty years old, which can be regarded as a top grade." ”
Chu Qi took some soil from under the tree, melted it into fifty percent with water, kneaded it repeatedly until it was clay, and kneaded it into a large bowl of palms, and built a pile of firewood next to it, and put it on the flame to roast it. Chu Qi took a number of Yangsheng horse tires and mashed them, put them into the cloth strips to squeeze the juice and filter, and the faint cyan juice dripped into the bowl, repeating several times until the small bowl was filled with green juice. He Xiu's curious apricot eyes shone in the moonlight, and he stood beside Chu Qi and obediently handed over the materials.
Chu Qi mixed several kinds of materials, covered them in silk cloth and squeezed the juice and filtered it, but only took three or four drops. Chu Qi took a plant from He Xiu's hand and said: "This is a bitter stone lotus, which can be used as medicine, cold and bitter in nature, take its seed kernel and use it as a base material for rune paper, there are no special requirements, just because this has good compatibility and formability, and the attribute is wood, which is exactly the right wood attribute escape charm I made." ”
He Xiu listened to it speciously, tilted his head and said, "Little Seventh Brother, can't I use this escape talisman?"
Chu Qi didn't stop moving in his hand, and replied with his head down: "This talisman is the twelve-grade wood attribute escape talisman 'walking horse fetus', because its main talisman spirit liquid is the juice of the Yangsheng walking horse fetus, so in the name of it, it can't be compared with the seven-grade wood attribute escape talisman 'Aoki burial' I gave you Sister Hua Ling." He paused and said, "The 'Aoki Burial' was made before I left the sect, and it is strange to say, when I was collecting materials in the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley and Xunxian Ridge in the Sea of Flowers and Butterflies, I had never seen plants used for low-level things, not only made of rune paper, but also made of pills. But fortunately, it's also low-level things, and I can cultivate them myself. For thousands of years, there have been countless ways to make talismans, and I can't do it all. ”
Chu Qi brushed aside the green pods of the bitter stone lotus with both hands, took out the black seed kernels, carefully peeled off the black bean skin, pounded the pestle with stones for several times, until the white sac kernels turned into puree, wrapped them in silk cloth to squeeze the juice, and the remaining viscous residue was slightly dried after placing half a column of incense to turn into a white dry powder;
Chu Qi said with a smile: "Fortunately, it is only a twelve-grade talisman that is made, and there are not too many harsh requirements, with my minimalist craftsmanship, I am afraid that I will be sprayed with dog blood in front of everyone who makes talismans." He sat cross-legged on the dead leaves, picked up the remaining Yangsheng horse fetus, scraped the rhizome with the other hand, buckled the dirt off, and then put it in his mouth and chewed it.
"Ah, Little Seventh Brother, can this thing be eaten like this?" He Xiu covered her mouth and exclaimed, her face a little worried, "I'll go pick some fruit for you." ”
Chu Qi turned his head and smiled: "Don't tighten, the rhizome can be eaten raw, and it has the effect of strengthening muscles and bones, but it is a little bitter, hehe." He took He Xiu with one hand and said, "The time is almost up, you can follow me to see the final process of making this talisman." ”
With the pure white moonlight and a faint spark, the cyan juice in the earthen bowl turns from thick to light, and the pulp gradually stratches and floats evenly on the surface of the juice, turning from white pulp to green wood. Chu Qi took an extremely thin piece of silk, the shape of which was the size of the rune paper, and it was boxy. Chu Qi fixed the two ends of the silk silk with branches, carefully put it from the side of the pulp, and then gently pulled it up, with a piece of green wood-colored slurry attached to the silk silk.
Chu Qi said: "It was supposed to be fished out with a special net basket, but I don't know if it will work like this." After about a stick of incense, the silk gradually dried, and the cyan paste on it gradually formed and folded, Chu Qi gently pinched it with one hand, pinched the corner of the paper, and slowly separated from the juan silk, which seemed to emit a faint green fluorescence in the moonlight.
Chu Qi's face was overjoyed, and he took out the talisman pen "Ice and Fire Flowing Years", which was dipped in the special ink that had been made, lightly concealed his apprehension, and waved the pen into a talisman. He handed the talisman to He Xiu, taught him the method of sealing and holding the spell, and said, "Xiu'er, come, give it a try." ”
He Xiu's pretty face was full of excitement, Lingxiu's apricot eyes were shining, Chu Qi advised: "Don't make a mistake in the direction!", He Xiu nodded slightly, only to see her holding a talisman in her right hand, holding a seal in her left hand, chanting words in her mouth, throwing her right hand away, the spirit rune swirled twice in the air, and disappeared. After a few breaths, the forest seemed to be full of wind and clouds, and a green glare in the air was like a tornado, circling Chu Qi and He Xiu several times, Chu Qi saw this, and said happily: "Xiu'er, return to the post!", He Xiu flashed without a trace, and the next moment, the green light seemed to be sandwiched with something, and disappeared towards the deep and dense forest next to it.
