This is a habit that has been cultivated since I got the [Ding Lan Ruler], and I have almost never stopped going out to deal with other things except going far away.

Later, although Zuo Yang got the [Soul Suppression Nail] that was locked by the "Dragon Cutting Array", this habit has never changed, because the talisman engraved on the [Ding Lan Ruler] can at least be copied, while the "Dragon Cutting Array" is completely a 9-digit password, and there is no clue at all, so Zuo Yang can only put it aside for the time being, and start with the relatively easy and relatively high return [Ding Lan Ruler].

In this way, Zuo Yang copied a few more talismans, and then crumpled them into a ball and threw them into the paper basket.

Although ordinary people can't find any difference from the talisman he copied, Zuo Yang is very clear that he still hasn't found the right way to draw it, and he has to continue to try.

From the beginning to the present, Zuo Yang has lost count of how many times he has drawn, and even each stroke may have to be drawn thousands of times before he can reach the level where he is now almost completely indistinguishable...... But even so, I still haven't figured out the correct way to draw.

But he didn't feel discouraged, but became more serious, painting over and over again.

Because Zuo Yang knows that drawing talismans is a very deep kung fu, paying attention to a "inheritance power, teacher power, self-reliance" three forces in one, now he has no corresponding sect inheritance, and no one personally teaches, the only thing he can rely on is "self-reliance", in this case, it is very difficult to understand the mystery of the four kinds of talismans engraved on the [Ding Lan ruler].

Therefore, this kind of thing is not urgent at all, and only patience and exploration little by little are the right way.

"Boom......"

Before I knew it, more than an hour passed quickly.

When the time came to 1 o'clock in the morning, the discarded talisman had already filled the paper basket, and even the ground at Zuo Yang's feet was full of crumpled yellow paper balls.

"Meow ——!"

The sound of black charcoal came from outside the door.

This is reminding Zuo Yang that it's time to go to bed, this is an agreement between the two, because at the beginning, Zuo Yang was too focused, often forgetting the time while drawing, and stayed up until five or six o'clock in the morning without feeling at all.

And Zuo Yang knows very well that this kind of enlightenment seems to pay a lot, but in fact, it has no practical effect, because in this case, it will only take more than an hour at most, and his perception and understanding will be exhausted, and the time after that will be wasted at all...... Not only is it damaging to the body, but it is also very waste paper.

It's just that the process of enlightenment is often overwhelming, and he almost doesn't feel the passage of time, so he has this agreement with Black Tan - as long as it is 1 o'clock in the morning every day, Black Carbon will remind him that the time is almost and it is time to go to bed.

"Hoo ——!"

Hearing the cry of black charcoal, Zuo Yang finally regained his senses, took a deep breath and shook his head and sighed, "Alas, I still haven't gained anything today, and I have a long way to go." ”

"Click!"

Hearing Zuo Yang's voice, Hei Tan knew that Zuo Yang had finished, so he opened the door in his own way, and then got in very lightly and jumped back on the bed.

Speaking of which, this guy is also very well-behaved.

Although Zuo Yang treated it so much before, and even threatened it with [Ding Lan Ruler], it did not hold a grudge against Zuo Yang, but was closest to Zuo Yang, in fact, whether it was the proprietress and Summer, or a few children on the second floor and the members of the studio below, they were very good to Hei Tan, but Hei Tan was only closest to Zuo Yang, and he had to sleep next to Zuo Yang's pillow every night.

"Master, don't sigh any more, if you really can't find any results from research, why don't you burn this broken stick as firewood, so as not to look uncomfortable every day."

Seeing Zuo Yang's expression, Hei Tan already knew today's result.

However, it has long been used to it, because for so many days in a row, except for the fact that this talisman is becoming more and more similar, Zuo Yang actually has no substantial gains.

Of course, instigating Zuo Yang to burn the [Ding Lan Ruler] as firewood was entirely because he hated the aura emanating from the [Ding Lan Ruler], which had a strong suppressive effect on a monster like it.

"You want to burn it, right?"

Zuo Yang glared at it and said angrily.

"Why, I don't care about my master's feelings......"

Black Carbon shook his tail, then curled up on the side of the pillow, squinting his eyes and said.

After this period of getting along, it is no longer too afraid of Zuo Yang, because Zuo Yang usually treats it well, and generally doesn't care much about it.

"Huh."

Zuo Yang smiled noncommittally.

"Master, I see that these talismans of yours are very similar to each other, and even I can't see any difference from the seal carved on that piece of wood."

Hei Tan had already closed his eyes, but when he heard Zuo Yang take out a big plastic bag to clean up the waste paper scattered on the ground, he opened his eyes again, and said a little speechless.

"Hmm."

Zuo Yang made a nasal voice very perfunctorily, and continued to bend down to clean up.

"So master, have you ever thought that maybe there is no problem with the talisman you draw, and the problem will be somewhere else, such as the brush you use, the cinnabar, and the yellow paper...... Or, in other words, the talisman engraved on that broken stick is simply a lie! ”

The cat's tail finally leaked out again, and this guy was trying to instigate the [Ding Lan Ruler] to throw it away, or burn it directly.

“！”

However, after listening to Hei Tan's words, Zuo Yang's eyes suddenly lit up.

This possibility is not impossible, since he got the [Ding Lan Ruler], he has put all his attention on the talisman on it, constantly copying, copying, copying, and copying, without considering other aspects at all.

Of course, the main reason is that Zuo Yang has always used the previous brush, cinnabar and yellow paper, and he has drawn many charms for these things, and those charms have been successfully drawn, such as the [Five Thunder Town Mansion Talisman] that he helped Xia draw before, as well as the [Soul Suppression Talisman].

Therefore, out of inertia in his thinking, he did not go back to think about this aspect at all.

And what Hei Tan said just now, although it was completely nonsense that came out of nowhere, but it was crooked, and it could be regarded as providing Zuo Yang with a new direction to try......

Thereupon.

Sure enough, he came back to his senses and sat back down at his desk.

"Master, you're not sleeping?"

Seeing Zuo Yang's appearance, Hei Tan quickly got up from the bed again, "You weren't planning to burn that broken piece of wood, were you...... I'll support you with four claws! ”

"Don't talk!"

Zuo Yang didn't have the time to take care of it now, but carefully checked his way of drawing talismans the same.

Quill......

There should be no problem, although this brush has lost some hair, but grandpa used it to draw talismans back then, and he has used it many times, and the problem cannot be in this...... What's more, in fact, there are no hard and fast rules for brushes, even if you buy a brush from the supermarket, you can still use it.

Inkstone...... Cinnabar......

Both of these things were brought from home, and like brushes, there were no hard and fast rules.

"Boom......"

Even Zuo Yang dipped a brush in some cinnabar and drew a [Five Thunder Town Mansion Talisman] on a piece of yellow paper, although he did not use essence blood, this [Five Thunder Town Mansion Talisman] basically did not work, but Zuo Yang immediately felt a trace of extremely faint breath from above.

That said, there is nothing wrong with all three of the above.

Well, yellow paper......

“！”

When he picked up the yellow paper again, Zuo Yang suddenly thought of something.

He had heard his grandfather say that there were many monastic sects in this world, and each monastic sect had its own magical charms, and each sect had some differences in the size and specifications of the yellow paper used to draw talismans...... It's just that what kind of specifications it is, but even grandpa can't explain, because in the cruel wheel of history, many monastic sects have gradually declined, and the drawing skills in the door have gradually been lost.

So, could it be a problem with the yellow paper specification?

Thinking of these things, Zuo Yang naturally had such a guess......

The yellow paper used in the art of talisman he learned has always been 6 inches * 2 inches, and the 6 inches in this use the "righteousness" in the [Wen Meter], and in the scale of the [Wen Meter], 6 inches is "righteousness".

[Wen Ruler] and the [Ding Lan Ruler] in Zuo Yang's hand are collectively called "Tiancang Ruler", but [Wen Ruler] is a yang ruler, and [Ding Lan Ruler] is a yin ruler.

The so-called "Yang Ruler", as the name suggests, is a measuring tool in charge of many matters in the Yang Realm, such as the measurement and construction of the Yang House;

The so-called "Yin Ruler" is a measuring tool in charge of many matters in the netherworld, such as the measurement and construction of the Yin House.

Therefore, the length of the two is not the same, the total length of [Wen Meter] is one foot four inches and six minutes, divided into 8 grids, each grid represents a different meaning, and the total length of [Ding Lan Ruler] is one foot three inches and three minutes, a total of 10 grids, each of which also has a completely different meaning...... However, on the two seemingly completely different rulers, there are four squares with overlapping meanings, such as the scales of the four meanings of "harm, righteousness, official, and wealth".

So......

Zuo Yang frowned, his head spinning rapidly.

The yellow paper he uses now is cut according to the "righteousness" of [Wen Gongqi]...... And the talisman he is copying now is engraved on the [Ding Lan Ruler......

Isn't it a bit of a reversal of yin and yang to draw the talismans engraved on the [Ding Lan ruler] based on the yellow paper specifications cut out on the [Wen Meter]?

So...... Could this be the problem!?

The more Zuo Yang thought about it, the more he felt that his speculation was very reasonable, and even faintly felt that he had found the direction.

Expecting that the cut yellow paper was at hand, and the [Ding Lan Ruler] was also at hand, Zuo Yang decisively pressed the [Ding Lan Ruler] on the yellow paper and compared it.

The "righteousness" of [Dinglan ruler] and the "righteousness" of [Wen Gong ruler] are both in the 6th square, but the length is slightly shorter.

After all, the [Ding Lan Ruler] is originally shorter than the [Wen Meter], not to mention that the [Wen Ruler] is only 8 grids, but the [Ding Lan Ruler] is 10 squares, and if it is also on the 6th grid scale, it is naturally shorter.

Without saying a word, Zuo Yang decisively made a mark on the yellow paper according to the length of the "righteousness" of the [Ding Lan ruler], and then took out a pair of scissors from the drawer, and cut it horizontally along the mark very neatly...... As for the width of the yellow paper, Zuo Yang didn't care about it for the time being, because all the rune paper widths are the same, and the main difference is the length.

After doing this, Zuo Yang picked up the brush again and dipped some cinnabar in the inkstone.

"Boom......"

Thousands of times of practice had enabled him to draw that talisman even with his eyes closed, and it was exactly the same.

As for the order of the strokes, he did not deliberately complicate them, but scribbled them in the order that was most intuitive to him, and in the blink of an eye, the talisman was completed by copying.

"Boom!"

It was also at this time that Zuo Yang suddenly felt some indescribable resonance from the talisman that had just been completed.

This resonance is very slight, but it is extremely clear to Zuo Yang......

"I went to his uncle's and became a !!"

Zuo Yang instantly slapped the table and jumped up, and even because of the depression caused by the lack of progress in this matter during this time, he couldn't control himself from venting and burst into a foul mouth.

"It's finished?"

Black Tan looked at Zuo Yang in surprise.

"It's done!"

Zuo Yang danced happily like a child, and suddenly threw himself on the bed and picked up the black charcoal, and sucked it hard while spinning.

After all, if it weren't for what Hei Tan said just now, he probably hadn't thought of this problem until now, and it would not have been possible to make such great progress in this matter...... So to a certain extent, Black Carbon is one of his lucky generals, his lucky star, and his great hero.

“……”

Black Charcoal only felt a little dizzy and wanted to vomit.

And after Zuo Yang turned around like this a few times, he finally calmed down a little, his face was still full of excitement, and he came to the door in two or three steps, and said to Hei Tan: "I'm going to draw a talisman with essence blood now, because I don't know what the function of this talisman is, so you'd better go out first, so as not to hurt you by mistake after the talisman is completed." ”

After saying that, he had already opened the door, and regardless of Hei Tan's opinion, he threw it out with a wave of his hand.

"Meow ——!"

Black Charcoal was slammed on the sofa outside, and had to scream unhappily in protest, but in response to it was a very crisp "bang" sound of the door closing, and then there was the sound of locking the door.

inside the room.

Zuo Yang had already bitten the tip of his tongue, and a drop of the essence blood of the Heavenly Rank Physiognomy Master shot into the inkstone, and it quickly fused with the cinnabar.

Zuo Yang has completely calmed down, holding the brush and dipping it gently, and then as long as he draws this talisman, he can experience its specific function......

Looking forward to it!
