Chapter 40: Selling Talismans

Suddenly, I seemed to understand why this old Taoist priest had asked me to keep reading all kinds of Taoist scriptures to calm my mood in the past few days.

Newcomers, drawing charms for the first time, is not an easy task.

I just watched the old Taoist priest do it simply, but in fact, when I really did it, I would find that the whole thing could be said to be extremely difficult. In a sense, I can only be regarded as a novice who has not even entered the door.

"Feeling hard?"

At this time, Bai Zhi left, came in and saw me, and then asked softly.

I nodded slightly, in fact, maybe I had too many things in my mind, which made it difficult for me to calm down in this situation.

"Well, there's no need to think too much. People always make mistakes, practice makes perfect! Take your time, take it one step at a time. At least he gives you so much room for error! Bai Zhi said lightly, and then said, "I'm not here, I'm delaying your time." I'll go back to Qixia Mountain and come to see you after a while. ”

I paused for a moment, and there was a hint of anxiety in my eyes: "What? You want to go back? ”

And the corners of Bai Zhi's mouth showed a hint of a smile, as if she saw me and felt unusually satisfied, and said softly: "It's not that I won't come back, I'm just going back to take a look, after all, I am a mountain ghost from Qixia Mountain, since I have arrived here, it is indeed a little unreasonable not to go back." ”

"Well, then you should be careful all the way......"

I took a deep breath and looked at Bai Zhi in front of me, with a hint of helplessness in my eyes.

Bai Zhi nodded, then turned to leave.

Watching her leave, I also forced my mood to gradually calm down, and then turned around and looked carefully at the yellow paper in front of me.

Then he suddenly picked up the pen, dipped it in cinnabar, and then fell towards the yellow paper.

It's just that the moment it fell, I felt my hand tremble slightly. The whole rune paper was scrapped at that moment, which made me feel a little helpless.

But to this point.

I really don't have any other way but to keep trying.

I drew a hundred. Only three of them were actually usable, and I could feel the power of thunder and lightning contained in them, but they were very small.

I kept thinking about what I was doing wrong.

Or maybe there is something I didn't do well enough, my eyes kept recalling, and after a long time, I shook my head slightly and said, "When everyone draws a charm, the technique should not be exactly the same!" ”

"In that case, you're already familiar with the painting, so why don't you go your own way?"

My mind kept thinking.

This time, I decided to follow the most convenient path for myself, I completely forgot the figure of the old Taoist priest in my mind, and only the yellow paper was left in front of me.

Then lift the pen again.

After a few moments, a spell was born in front of me.

It's just that this spell has a lot of flaws. Of those, I broke five times, three of which were major repairs and two minor ones, but that's pretty good for me.

I can't just draw the whole spell with a single stroke like an old Taoist priest.

The next step is the familiarization process, as the old Taoist priest said. This kind of thing is practice makes perfect, you will feel more, and naturally there will be some skills.

Five hundred sheets are drawn to the end.

The total number of finished products available is two hundred and seventy-three chapters, far more than a hundred.

I gently placed the pen there, then rubbed my wrist and picked up one of them. Gently pinched with his index finger and middle finger, with a hint of indifference in his eyes, and then suddenly took a step forward. A recipe is pointed.

The spell took effect instantly, and a thunderbolt seemed to come out of the thunder spell and quickly fell in front of me, but this thunder light was much weaker than I imagined.

I shook my head helplessly: "It seems that the spell I drew is still far from being strong!" ”

It's just that among the more than 200 spells, there are still some that have a certain usefulness. Although it is a little impossible to say that it is impossible to collect ghosts, it is not too difficult to collect ordinary lonely ghosts.

The next day, the old Taoist priest arrived as scheduled.

Seeing the drawn charms on the table, I was stunned for a moment, then a satisfied smile appeared on my face, and after glancing at me, I continued: "It's not his child, this comprehension ability is indeed very strong." Let's go, come down the mountain with me. ”

As he spoke, he took the more than two hundred charms into his bosom and headed down the mountain.

This surprised me a little, because since I lived in the Taoist temple, I didn't see this old Taoist priest go down the mountain very much. And according to the people who occasionally come to incense nearby, this old Taoist priest can go down the mountain once a year, which is already very good. He has his own vegetable garden, so he has always been self-sufficient.

And at this time, what did the old Taoist priest do when he went down the mountain?

I was a little puzzled, so I had to follow quickly.

We went down the mountain, the old Taoist priest came to the bustling street, looked left and right, and finally went to a mansion, above the gate of the mansion, hung a plaque, on which were written two big characters - Washington!

Come to the gate.

The old Taoist priest knocked lightly on the door.

After a short time, a subordinate came out of Washington, and then opened the door, and the moment he saw the old Taoist, he nodded hurriedly and said: "Old fairy, you can be regarded as coming, the old man has been waiting at home for a long time, you come with me quickly." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at me a little strangely: "Old fairy, who is this?" ”

"This is my Dao Tong! There are some things that he needs help with......," the old Taoist priest said lightly.

The man didn't suspect anything, and then ushered us into the hall. As we walked along the way, I noticed a very strange phenomenon, that is, the surrounding vegetation looked very vigorous. But this is not a normal situation, you know, in a house, it should be clean and neat.

Coupled with the care of subordinates, even if it is in disrepair, it should not be like this.

But the yard was littered with weeds and moss, and it looked like it hadn't been taken care of for at least decades. We made our way to the hall.

Sure enough, I saw an old man sitting quietly on a Taishi chair in the center.

The old man opened his eyes, glanced at the old Taoist, and said, "Old immortal, you are here." ”

The old Taoist priest didn't pay much attention to it, as if he had long been accustomed to everything here. After taking two steps forward, he continued, "Sorry, I'm late." ”

As he spoke, he gently placed the more than 200 Xuanlei Spells I had drawn on the table from his arms, and then continued, "The Xuanlei Spell you wanted." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then his subordinates hurriedly picked up the more than two hundred Xuanlei spells and handed them to him.

After the old man took a closer look, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Old fairy, I'm not joking with you, I really need these things, even if you don't want to help, there's no need to use this thing to fool me, right?" This thing is clearly drawn by a newly learned Taoist child, not by your hand. ”

The old Taoist priest yawned, as if he had expected this old man's words, and then continued: "If you don't want it, just give it back to me, it just so happens that I still have some use for this thing." ”

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched violently, and then he sighed: "Blessing, take the money." ”
