Chapter 779: Refining Talismans
Zhang Cheng laughed in his heart, but on the surface, he still had to save some face for Hou Jingshan, so he said to Yang Wei with a straight face: "What is magic, he is my junior brother, that is, your uncle, remember to call him Uncle Xuanjing in the future." That was the real Dao art just now, if you don't want to learn it, then the master-apprentice relationship between us will end here. ”
"Don't!" Yang Wei was immediately anxious when he heard this, "I learn, can't I learn?" ”
Zhang Cheng nodded, "Uncle Xuanjing is just teaching you temporarily, if you are really qualified, the teacher will find you another good teacher." ”
"Yes......" Although I don't know why Zhang Cheng didn't teach him personally, Yang Wei didn't dare to say more, nodded and agreed.
Hou Jingshan really had mixed feelings in his heart at this time, he was also a real person, only one step away from the Heavenly Master, and he didn't know how many people were crying and shouting that they wanted to worship him as a teacher.
I didn't expect to make an exception to teach an ordinary person today, but I was still disliked by the other party, and Zhang Cheng's words were not right no matter how I heard them.
If you have the qualifications, find another good teacher......
So what am I? Charged phone bills?
Zhang Cheng didn't have time to understand Hou Jingshan's feelings, and after sending him and Yang Wei away, he gave Yang Wei's brothers 50,000 yuan, one as a thank you fee, and the other as a hush money, so that they wouldn't talk about cutting down trees.
Although these people were confused, after receiving the money, they also patted their chests to ensure that it would not be passed on, and then took the money and went down the mountain happily.
Looking at the lightning striking wood that filled several rooms, Zhang Cheng had a feeling in his heart that he had turned over and turned into a serf to sing, and simply announced that he would close his eyes for a day, and immediately wanted to experiment with talismans.
Ye Xiaoman is now a yin god, and he is no longer afraid of the sun, and the two of them immediately began to prepare.
Although the talisman is also made of wood pulp and paper, the equipment used is different, and the process is much more complicated.
Zhang Cheng didn't understand this, and Ye Xiaoman had no entity, so in the end he could only dictate and let Zhang Cheng do the specific operation.
The art of alchemy is a mystery that is not passed down in every mountain gate, and the mage next to him is also very curious, and they all stand aside and watch intently.
These people have Zhang Cheng's soul mark planted on them, and even if they learn it, they are not afraid of passing it on, so Zhang Cheng is too lazy to care, according to Ye Xiaoman's instructions, he commanded a few mages to take a lightning strike wood out to make pulp, and then asked a few people to bring a big ding.
"The paper made of lightning strike wood can't be regarded as rune paper, you must use alchemy to stimulate the power of pure yang in it, Ding is originally a sacrificial vessel, and using it to refine talismans can have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort."
While Ye Xiaoman explained, he asked people to move out a piece of wood that was split into charcoal, chopped it into the size of firewood little by little, and piled it next to Dading.
"When Taoism refines talismans, it is generally used to gather fire to ignite fire. Because of the different cultivations, they are divided into crape myrtle heavenly fire, samadhi true fire, and so on. However, our tripod is just a mortal thing, not a magic weapon, and it can't withstand too high temperatures. Therefore, these lightning scorched wood can only be used to ignite the fire, so that not only does the mana be saved, but the pure yang true qi in the scorched wood will not be wasted. ”
Zhang Cheng nodded, "Then is there a difference between the rune paper refined in this way and those refined by heavenly fire?" ”
"Of course there's a difference." Ye Xiaoman explained: "But we don't have any other way now, we can only use this method." Fortunately, the lightning strike wood created by the Heavenly Tribulation, the power of pure yang far exceeds that of other lightning strike wood, and the rune paper made should still be good. ”
As long as there is a lightning strike, the others are not a problem now, and when the first batch of rune paper is made, it will be replaced with a better tripod.
The wood pulp over there had been crushed and ground, and after Ye Xiaoman checked it, he nodded at Zhang Cheng, "Let's start." ”
"Good!"
Zhang Cheng rolled up his sleeves, and under the command of Ye Xiaoman, he first put the mold in place, then poured the wood pulp into it, then added some mountain spring water, and then lit the coke and lit a fire under the big ding.
In addition, Ye Xiaoman also asked several mages with high cultivation to draw a spirit gathering array with cinnabar in the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the Great Ding, so as to prevent the pure yang qi from leaking out.
The first time he refined the talisman, Zhang Cheng didn't dare to be careless at all, and acted meticulously according to Ye Xiaoman's command, adding water for a while, adjusting the fire for a while, and adding wood pulp for a while.
Fortunately, he has a strong soul, and he controls the amount of dose and firepower very accurately, and there is no problem.
As the scorched wood is added to the ding piece by piece, a smell like sandalwood gradually spreads, refreshing people's hearts.
Because it was the first time to refine, Ye Xiaoman chose the simplest yellow rune paper, and if he succeeded, he could challenge the blue rune paper or higher.
It's easy to say, but this practice is seven or eight hours, and the mages next to him have gone back to make up for a nap and have a meal, Zhang Cheng and Ye Xiaoman are still sitting cross-legged next to Ding.
These mages had never seen talismans refining before, and when they saw that it had taken so long, they were faintly worried, and they talked in a low voice.
"Do you think you can succeed this time?"
"I don't know...... But even if it succeeds, we won't need the yellow runes. ”
"Don't say that, if you can succeed once, it will be easy in the future. But...... It takes so long to refine a yellow talisman, and the blue talisman must take even longer. ”
"It's long, it's long, anyway, the senior brother is not human, and he doesn't know how to be tired. And with Ye Tianshi under the command, there shouldn't be any problems. ”
"I hope that if we can't make rune paper again, we will only be able to fight with others empty-handed in the future."
Zhang Cheng sat next to Da Ding, all his attention was focused on the Ding, automatically blocking the discussion of these mages.
The fire under the ding is getting weaker and weaker, and Ye Xiaoman did not ask for more fire. After a while, the fire under the ding was finally completely extinguished, and the rich fragrance slowly dissipated.
Zhang Cheng turned his head and glanced at Ye Xiaoman, and when he saw the other party nodding slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After tossing for so long, the first batch of rune paper has finally been refined......
But before the lid was lifted, no one knew whether it would succeed or fail, and Zhang Cheng was both excited and nervous.
Upon hearing this news, all the people of the Divine Monarch Temple gathered and looked at the big ding with anticipation.
Zhang Cheng walked to the side of the copper tripod, and he was not afraid of hot hands, so he directly lifted the lid of the tripod, looked down and looked inside, and immediately shouted excitedly.
"It worked! It worked! Bright yellow rune paper! ”
It worked!
The surrounding crowd suddenly erupted in cheers, scrambling to squeeze over, stretching their necks to look at Dingli one by one.
Especially those mages, looking at the stack of yellow talismans in the copper tripod and shouting, it was like they had lost their minds and went crazy.
Ordinary people can never understand the importance of rune paper to mages, just like the importance of Grandpa Mao to ordinary people.
Although this time it was only to refine the yellow rune, if it could be successful once, it would be successful twice, and it was only a matter of time before the blue rune and purple rune were finally refined.
It's like suddenly having a money printing machine at home, and everyone has a feeling of getting rich overnight.
