Text: Chapter 38 Draw Symbols
But how do you say this to Huang Jian?
I walked around the gate of the temple several times, but I couldn't make up my mind. Just as he was hesitating, Huang Jian came out of the door:
"Why don't you go home and hang around here?"
As soon as he asked, I had no way out:
"Uh...... That one...... Master Huang, I will be your assistant in the future, if there is anything to order"
Huang Jian first froze for a moment, and then sighed:
"Zhao Jiazi, that old boy, tell you everything? Alas......"
"Hmm... I know it all. ”
"I knew you heard about it and had to come to me. I originally wanted to find a martial artist to help me, but your current ability is not much better than mine. You can't help with the work in the underworld, just put it on your name, and talk about it later. ”
"That'...... Okay, I'll learn the Tao from Master first, and I'll see if I can help you later. ”
Huang Jian nodded:
"Well, although this Xu Daoquan doesn't know the Dao. But there is no problem in teaching you, his master is the famous Zhou Chungang, who is a very famous Mr. Yin and Yang. ”
"Zhou Chungang?" I just saw the name on the name sticker.
"Yes, Zhou Chungang, don't say it, you are really born to be Mr. Yin and Yang. Don't live up to your master's expectations of you, learn from him well, and you will become a great tool in the future. ”
Hell knows why this yellow tip suddenly thinks so highly of me. It's just that what has become a big thing in the profession of Mr. Yin and Yang has not attracted me so far.
"Huang Ye, Li and Lin...... How is he? Where did reincarnation go? I...... I want to go see him. ”
"I don't know! I inquired and checked when I went down, but I couldn't figure out why, his information was locked, and I didn't have permission to view it. ”
I was deflated all of a sudden, Li and Lin helped me so much, and paid so much for me...... I don't even know where he was reincarnated, and I can't talk about anything to repay.
Huang Jian saw my unhappiness:
"Forget it, don't think about it so much, you should eat and drink, live well, and be worthy of the life that Li Helin gave you!"
Huang Jian is right, worthy of his life!
At ten o'clock in the evening of the next day, Xu Laodao officially taught the "Taoism" in the City God Temple. In the first class, Lao Dao commented on the battle we fought to catch the female ghost Fu Yanhong.
It's not so much a review, it's more a bloody dog who scolded the two of us!
"If you want to catch ghosts, don't you have anything with you? Are there black donkey hooves? Is there any black dog blood? Is there black pig blood? Don't you go out with you? Looking for death? ”
"Master, dissipate your anger and drink saliva."
Gao Liang handed over the large tea jar.
"Drink a piece of! Look at you and don't bother others! My master's talismans have been ruined by you, you said that you are simple-minded and have well-developed limbs, are you using talismans? Did you throw the five thunder talismans like that? What are you going to do? ”
I couldn't help but laugh, and this laughter touched the old man's nerves:
"What are you laughing at there? You're not much better than him! Just your little physique, wheelstool, fighting games? Can you weigh a few pounds and taels before you do anything? Last time I was in the hospital, I was still holding a stick, it was really ...... Alas? Highlight! Where's that stick of yours? ”
I don't know what the old man thinks, but suddenly I remembered the bright stick again.
"Yes, yes."
Gao Liang hurriedly held his iconic bat in both hands from the side of his backpack and handed it to Lao Dao. Lao Dao took it and watched it over and over again for a long time:
"Hmm...... That's a nice peachwood, you cut it yourself? ”
"Yes, yes, I cut it myself. At that time, I wanted to use this piece of wood to sharpen a wooden sword or something, but later this piece of material was too large, and I thought the sword was too light, so I didn't ......."
"Peachwood sword? Is that the right thing for you to use a mahogany sword? I'm glad you didn't waste the wood, huh...... This wood is a treasure for many years. In the future, find a master and engrave some charms on it, which will be more powerful. ”
When Gao Liang heard this, a green light appeared in his eyes:
"Master, aren't you always a master? Do you carve one? ”
"Get out! How many times have you told both of you? I don't know how to do it. ”
In the days that followed, Gao Liang was like the dead fat man in "My Leader, My Regiment", carrying a stick every day, pestering the old way: Master carve one? Master carved one?
I have known about Xu Daoquan's lack of Taoism, and I have told Gao Liang several times, but Gao Liang firmly believes that the old way is deeply hidden. So he still has a daily routine, begging Lao Tao to engrave a charm on his stick.
Every time I begged, I would be scolded, and later I didn't bother to scold him. As soon as he mentioned this, the old man poured water on him.
Once, the freshly brewed tea was splashed on him, and his hands burned several times. In this way, it didn't stop him from running in front of the old road again the next day: "Master carve one?" ”
……
According to Xu Laodao, Gao Liang and I can't practice according to a path. Gao Liang has good physical fitness, can take the road of "Yan Chixia", and focuses on hand-to-hand combat.
As for me, my physical fitness is so poor, so I can only use more charms and formations.
Xu Laodao said that his master was in a similar physical condition to mine, but he had learned martial arts since he was a child, and he walked the path of dexterity and lightness. In Mr. Yin and Yang, it is a rare "internal and external cultivation".
But I've already developed and formed, let alone practicing martial arts, it's too late to practice anything, and I'm still concentrating on learning to use charms.
So I went to work during the day, and I spent my night "drawing".
That's right, it's the drawing. At first, I didn't think it was so difficult, after all, there is a foundation in art, but I am not used to using a brush to dip cinnabar, and the pattern is a bit difficult to remember.
Xu Daoquan gave me several patterns of simple charms, so that I could first familiarize myself with the appearance of the charms and feel the feelings.
I was itchy to get the pattern, so I went home at night and drew more than 30 in one go, and happily showed it to Xu Daoquan the next day.
When Xu Daoquan saw the talisman I drew, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him. I was punished to stand on the steps of the main hall of the temple and launch these talismans into the incense burner one by one.
You know, this is a handful of note, let me sandwich between two fingers and throw it into the incense burner three or five meters away, isn't it a joke?
After a while, I was surrounded by a circle of notes as if I was out of the funeral scene. This punishment made me understand that drawing talismans is not the same as drawing, and copying is useless.
When drawing talismans, I need to use mental power, just like when I activate the spirit rune, infuse the mental power into the tip of the pen, and through the nib, inject this mental power into the talisman and seal it, so that it can be activated again when it is used.
According to the old Tao, the stronger the Dao technique, the stronger the mental power that can be used, and in the end, the power of mountains, rivers, sun, moon and stars can be sealed on small notes.
It took me half a month to feel that the telekinesis in my body was very weak, and it had nothing to do with the mountains, rivers, sun, moon and stars. The old Tao said that this mental power has to be cultivated slowly, and it cannot be achieved overnight.
With telekinesis, the next step is to draw symbols. This is also a technical job, when drawing, you have to do it in one go, there can be no stagnation, as soon as you stop, the anger will be discharged, and there is no way to store it on the rune paper.
I had to worry about the patterns on the one hand, and I had to use telekinesis on the other, and after a few days, I didn't even draw the simplest exorcism talisman.
The exorcism charm is not an offensive charm, his function is mainly not to be infringed by evil demons, and it is attached to the body to prevent nightmares and prevent the upper body of the imp, so it can be said to be an entry-level basic charm.
As for this entry-level one, I haven't even drawn a single one for a few days, and the old Tao scolds me every day for wasting cinnabar and paper, which makes me start to doubt my IQ.
Before, the old Tao said that I was more talented than Gao Liang, but after actually learning it, I found that he was much better than me. Within a few days of the start of the class, Gao Liang learned to infuse qi into the stick.
During these days, he practiced hard day and night, and now the sound of the wind when he picked up the stick was different - the sound of "woo" became smaller and smaller, replaced by the sound of "snort" breaking the air.
Seeing Gao Liang improving day by day and being scolded day by day, I also felt panicked. Although I have been scolded by teachers since I was a child, there will always be comparisons.
There's no way, let's increase the amount of practice, I took out the ruthlessness of practicing sketching in the exam that year, and I slammed the exorcism! Over and over again, until I can draw the picture with my eyes closed, the pattern never distracts me anymore.
The next day, when I arrived at the Temple of the City God, when I drew the third one, I felt my mind flow to the tip of the pen, and then I brushed it a few times.
- It's done! The first talisman in my life, the entry-level exorcist talisman, has finally been drawn!
