The manuscript is very thin, only a dozen pages, the first ten or so pages are drawn spells, most of them are thunder spells, I have seen the heavenly thunder spell cast by the Evergreen Daoist before, there is a description on it.

Drawing symbols is not like writing Chinese characters, it is not anytime, anywhere, and it is easy to come by.

According to the manuscript, if ordinary people want to make the drawn talisman effective, they need to write it in the early morning when the sun rises, because that is the time when the aura of the whole heaven and earth is the strongest, so that the drawn spell can be effective.

When using the spirit rune, it is equipped with a spell, and then it is triggered by its own power, and the magic weapon can be activated only when it is pulled. For example, the Zhai dipping mage sword used by the Evergreen Daoist was a famous magic sword in the Daomen.

When drawing talismans, you need to do it in one go, not simply draw it, which has high requirements for rune paper, pen and ink, and the most important thing is the realm of the person who draws the talisman.

To summarize, there are three steps to drawing a symbol.

Step 1: Draw a symbol.

Step 2: Sacrifice talisman, this is more particular, the so-called sacrificial talisman is to refine the spirit talisman to absorb the aura between heaven and earth, or absorb the skill of the talisman itself, so that the power of the talisman is even greater.

The third step is the specific method of using spells, that is, with magic weapons and complex spells.

One of the most important points is the realm cultivation of the person who draws the talisman itself, because if ordinary people want to draw a powerful spirit rune, it is simply impossible.

On the back page of the manuscript, there is a method of meditation and pranayama.

Daomen pays attention to self-cultivation, the method of adjusting internal breathing, using the body as a furnace, cultivating the body with qi, and controlling the qi with the body, which is quite particular.

Although Yan Xiaoying is not familiar with Dao Gate techniques, after all, her own cultivation has reached the spiritual realm, and she can still give me a lot of guidance.

According to her, I couldn't wait to go back to my room and start meditating and pranayama.

As Yan Xiaoying said, it is very difficult for ordinary people to embark on the path of cultivation. At the beginning of the meditation, I was unsettled and persisted for half an hour, but I didn't feel anything, but my legs and feet were very numb.

After lunch, I tried again, and after an hour, I almost fell asleep.

The situation did not improve until near dusk.

When the glow of the sun shining through the window shone on my body, I had for the first time the sense of qi that I had described in my handwritten notebook, and it was a mysterious feeling that was difficult to describe.

I was ecstatic in my heart, gathering my mind and channeling that current into my body.

However...... As soon as I introduced that air flow into my body, I suddenly felt like I had been hit by a giant hammer. First there was a loud bang in my head, then a sharp pain in my internal organs, then a tightness in my chest, and the pain I felt when the little red snake had burrowed into my body returned.

I couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the bed, panting violently.

I don't know how long it lasted, but this sharp pain didn't improve until a cold chill was introduced from my chest, and then Yan Xiaoying anxiously fed me a pill of lark.

Lying on the bed, I opened my eyes and saw Yan Xiaoying frowning and looking at me with a worried face.

"How so? This kind of thing happened the first time I meditated and pranayama, this is impossible! She muttered to herself, "Could it be because you have parasitic nematodes in your body?" ”

"It's not ......"

I struggled to get up, leaned back on the bed, and gasped: "The sharp pain just now was not caused by parasites at first, I don't know what the reason was, but when I introduced the air flow into my body according to the description in the manuscript, it was like a stone falling into the surface of a calm lake, causing a thousand ripples, that feeling...... It was as if my body was resisting the entry of that breath. ”

"How is that possible?" Yan Xiaoying was surprised when she heard this: "All things are born with the luck of heaven and earth, and the aura floating between heaven and earth is the purest and most nourishing existence, not only human beings, but even monsters can also absorb it, why can't you?" ”

I shook my head, sighed, and said, "I don't know the exact reason, but it seems to be ...... The Daomen's method of meditation and pranayama is not suitable for me. ”

I was depressed, I thought I had found a bright path, but in the end, I found that I was not suitable for that path.

This made me very helpless, so I took out the manuscript and handed it back to Yan Xiaoying, saying, "Give this thing back to you, it's useless to me." ”

"I'm sorry." I, Yan Xiaoying, looked at me, took a deep breath and said, "I originally planned to help you, but I didn't expect it to become like this......"

"It's okay, do you think I'm going to be devastated by this? Although I don't know the specific reason, I think this is probably the reason why my grandfather didn't leave me the inheritance of the mountain guard, maybe ...... This has something to do with my strange background, I am not naturally suitable for cultivation. ”

After a pause, I suddenly remembered something: "But at the beginning, the female ghost Huixian once told me for my grandfather, she said that the Spirit Infant Fruit can improve my strength, I don't understand why the Spirit Infant Fruit can make me improve my strength...... But you can't cultivate Dao Sect techniques? ”

"The Spirit Infant Fruit is produced by absorbing the resentment and death qi of the dead child's corpse, although there is no resentment and yin qi after bearing fruit, but in essence, it is still different from other spirit fruits. Could it be ...... Your body, like a yin spirit, can't absorb yang energy? It's like ordinary yin spirits are afraid of the sun, but ...... You're a living person! Could it be ......"

"What's the matter?" I asked strangely.

"Nothing."

Yan Xiaoying wanted to speak and stopped, and finally glanced at me and shook her head and said, "It seems that I have done this too much, and I am afraid that the only ones who can improve your strength are your grandfather and the mountain god Niangniang." The original Spirit Infant Fruit was originally left to you by your grandfather, but I didn't ...... I'm sorry I hurt you. ”

Although I was unwilling, seeing Yan Xiaoying so guilty, I smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay, what's mine is yours, you and I have experienced life and death, how can a single spirit baby fruit be measured?" ”

"You don't regret it?" I, Yan Xiaoying, asked in surprise.

I shook my head and didn't speak, in fact, my heart was not at peace, but it was useless to say more at this time.

"You better keep this handwritten notebook for yourself, it's useless to me, you can give it to the old fat ......"

I nodded and smiled, "If Lao Fat can cultivate Dao Sect techniques, wouldn't he become a fat Taoist?" There has never been a fat monk and no fat Taoist. ”

Yan Xiaoying couldn't help but say when she heard this: "Maybe he can set a historical precedent and break people's cognition."

After a moment of silence, Yan Xiaoying spoke again: "Although you can't cultivate the spell, you can't let the ghost boy in the mountain whip go unattended, I still have a way to make it not attack you." ”

"What's the method?" I asked curiously.

"Raising with blood, this is the way of raising ghosts by Yin people, and in the orthodox way of Taoism, it is a crooked way of evil." She paused, looked at me and said seriously, "This method is harmful to the body, and even shortens the life expectancy. Originally, I had a way to get rid of it, but this ghost boy is your biggest means of self-protection at the moment, and I don't think you want to give it up easily, right? ”

I nodded, noncommittal and asked, "What's the method?" ”

Next, Yan Xiaoying explained to me in detail that I followed her method and immediately cut my wrist so that the blood dripped on the mountain whip.

The next moment, I saw the blood dripping on the mountain whip disappear out of thin air, and then the childish and excited voice of the ghost boy sounded in my mind: "Thank you, master, your blood is a great tonic for our Yin Spirit." ”

"Take care of your injuries, and when you are useful in the future!" I replied.

After half an hour, Yan Xiaoying walked out of the door and looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, it's time for me to go down the mountain." ”

I nodded, and then Lao Fei and Lin Miao suddenly walked out from the back of the house, and the former smiled: "Wait, let's go down the mountain with you." ”

I wondered in my heart, "Didn't you two go to patrol the mountains?" How did you get to the back of the house? ”

Lao Fei's face was slightly embarrassed, and he laughed: "When I came back from the mountain patrol, I went around the reservoir again." ”

Lin Miao stood aside and said lightly: "We didn't go up the mountain at all, and we have been hiding in the back of the house to listen to you." ”

"Hiding all day?"

I was a little speechless and looked at Xiang Lao Fei.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, it's clear that he just slept on the embankment." Old Fat glared at Lin Miao and explained.

"It's freezing, the wind is cold on the embankment, can you sleep?" I looked disdainful.

"This ......"

Yan Xiaoying rolled her eyes at Lao Fei, and said lightly: "I knew that you two were hiding behind the house, what are you going down the mountain to do at this time?" ”

"I said that you two are really noble people who forget things, don't you know what day it is?"

"What day?" I asked.

"Little Chinese New Year's Eve!"

Lao Fei pursed his lips and said: "Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, we can't always stay in the mountains, such a lively day, don't go to the town, I'm really sorry for my hard work these days." Moreover...... I still have to take the gift to Huang Yuting to thank you. ”

"When I go shopping at night, I definitely don't have a good idea." Yan Xiaoying snorted coldly: "I'm going to go to the three of you, I won't accompany you, I received a few orders of business in the store today, and I'm out for another day, and I'm going back to help Grandma." ”

"Does anyone still buy a coffin on Chinese New Year's Eve?" I was surprised.

"Didn't anyone die on Chinese New Year's Eve? There are still people who died at the New Year's vigil. ”

Yan Xiaoying said, then turned around and walked down the mountain road, disappearing after a while.

At this time, Lao Fei pulled me aside and said mysteriously: "Lao Yan, what about the manuscript of the Evergreen Daoist?" Give it to me. ”

I said, "Put it under the bedside, you have to get it yourself." ”

The old fat was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Then let it go first, don't worry!" Let's go down the mountain, go to the town for three days and two nights, and then go back to the mountain for the New Year. ”

I said: "Do you really dare to think that during the New Year's holidays, it is the time when there are the most tourists in Paradise Mountain, and the safety hazards are particularly serious. Especially on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the villagers under the mountain do not visit relatives and do not go far away, they will choose to visit the nearby famous mountain resorts, it doesn't matter what happens, but on that day we have to stay on the mountain anyway, just in case. The old man's life's work, I don't want to let the entire Heavenly Mountain become a sea of fire because of my own negligence, and all my efforts will be burned. ”

"There hasn't been a major fire in decades, what are you nervous about?"

Lao Fei said, and suddenly came to my ear and smiled: "Lao Yan, we are all men, I heard that you and the mountain god Niangniang don't have that yet, they have been holding back for so many days, and they have to go out to make waves, and there is Lin Miao and him, haha." ”
