Seeing Zhuo Kai stammering when he spoke, I smiled secretly in my heart, I had already learned a long time ago that the Divine Fire Talisman is the most important and the rarest special resource of special institutions in the public security system, because this kind of talisman can only be made by the beginner disciples of the Nanmaoshan faction.

And because the talisman is powerful and the materials are precious, it is not easy to make.

Zhuo Kai and I just live in the same room, and if you don't think so, we are at most colleagues in an 'organization', and his readily agreeing to make one for me is enough to prove that he is a good person.

But why do I ask for 'one hundred and eighty'?

Very simple.

I opened my mouth to scare him, and then I relented, reluctantly asking for a few fewer so that I could ask for more.

At the same time, he doesn't find it too difficult.

"One hundred and eighty... Is it a lot? I asked, pretending not to know the details.

"It's a lot, it's just... It's just..."Zhuo Kai 'simply' several times in a row, and finally didn't say the following words, but paused, and said with a wry smile on his face: "Brother Chen Tian, making talismans is not as simple as you imagined, with my current ability and the materials I brought, I can guarantee to make two for you at most, if there are more, I dare not guarantee it." ”

"It's only two?" I was slightly disappointed.

I thought that even if there weren't a hundred and eighty sheets, at least a dozen.

As a result, Zhuo Kai dared to promise to give me two at most.

"Brother Chen Tian, two is already a lot." Zhuo Kai said seriously.

"That's... Okay. I nodded.

"Whew!"

Zhuo Kai looked relieved.

Next, Zhuo Kai took out the materials he said.

Pen, dark red paint, red paper.

I asked Zhuo Kai what the dark red pigment was, and he told me that it was made of cinnabar mixed with adult black dog blood, and he also said that this special cinnabar was extremely precious, and he was reluctant to use this special cinnabar when he painted talismans on weekdays, basically using ordinary cinnabar or simply using black dog blood.

Only if he draws a more advanced talisman, he will take it out and use it.

From his words, I learned that he had made a lot of money to help me draw the Divine Fire Talisman this time.

This surprised me.

Although Zhuo Kai and I have known each other for a long time, I can see that he is a warm-hearted, easy to get along with, and willing to help.

I don't dare to say what his temperament is, after all, I have only been with him for a short time, but for now, he is a friend worth making deeply.

Of course, on the premise of deep friendship, you can't let him know that I am a member of the Beimaoshan faction, otherwise, as the master said, the disciples of the two factions will definitely fight to the death when they meet.

So.

I am the identity of the Beimaoshan faction, and I have never told anyone except the master, including Zhang Hao, who doesn't know these things.

But it's not that I don't trust Zhang Hao and them, I signed a soul contract with them, in this world, anyone will betray me, but a few of them won't, so I don't need to hide anything from them at all, but I don't think it makes much sense to say this kind of thing.

Subsequently, Zhuo Kai began to make talismans.

He took the pen and said in his mouth, "The magic pen is waved, the gods bless, the thunderbolt and lightning shine, the gold, wood, water, fire, earth, fire!" ”

After reading, Zhuo Kai took the pen, and then drew with full attention.

In fact, when he made the talismans, it was similar to when I painted the portrait, drawing things on a piece of paper, but the brushwork we used was different.

Before he started drawing talismans, Zhuo Kai told me not to disturb him by talking while he was making them, and that he needed absolute silence to keep his energy high.

The power of the Divine Fire Talisman is huge, and it must not be easy to make, I can guess this even if I guess, so I am now deliberately lowering the sound of breathing a lot, and in the whole room, there is only the sound of the pen gently sliding on the talisman.

Zhuo Kai spent some symbols on the red paper that I couldn't understand at all, twisting and twisting like earthworms, not like words, and I didn't want some symbols that could be seen ordinarily.

In the blink of an eye, most of the talisman had been drawn, and seeing that everything was going well, it was about to be completed, but Zhuo Kai suddenly missed a stroke.

Because of this stroke, Zhuo Kai stopped.

Seeing that Zhuo Kai stopped painting and didn't continue painting, I asked, "Failed?" ”

Zhuo Kai nodded with an embarrassed face and said, "I accidentally got a little distracted, so it was indeed a failure." ”

"I didn't say anything." I wondered.

There was silence in the room just now, and there was no sound even outside the room, so in such a quiet environment, it was even possible to be distracted?

As a result, Zhuo Kai explained that in the process of drawing talismans, in addition to external influences, internal influences are also fatal.

This is one of the reasons why high-level talismans are not easy to succeed.

Meantime.

It is also why the first thing a Taoist priest who specializes in talismans should do is to learn 'practicing meditation and induction', which is simply 'practicing the mind'.

Then Zhuo Kai said that in the process of drawing talismans, we must be 'engrossed' and 'mind and mind are united', otherwise the failure rate will be very high.

After listening to Zhuo Kai's many explanations, I finally understood why he dared to promise to paint two pictures for me, because the production conditions and requirements were too harsh.

The first is the material.

Secondly, it is difficult to draw.

Ten minutes later, Zhuo Kai's heart was completely calm again, and he had reached the point of 'calm as water' before he said, "I'll try again." ”

I nodded.

Subsequently, Zhuo Kai made a second attempt.

This time, the process of drawing the talisman went very smoothly, until the end, there was nothing wrong, and when I saw him finish drawing, and then took the initiative to put down the pen, I grinned: "Brother Zhuo Kai, you successfully painted it the second time, amazing." ”

People help me draw talismans, and it's a powerful Divine Fire Talisman, so of course I won't skimp on my praise.

Maybe praise him a few more times, and he'll draw me a few more.

However.

As soon as I finished speaking, the originally drawn talisman suddenly 'poof', and then 'spontaneously combusted', I stared, and then watched as the talisman spontaneously combusted and burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

"It's... What's going on? I asked, confused.

Obviously, it has already been drawn, but why did the talisman inexplicably spontaneously combust?

In fact, there is no need for Zhuo Kai to explain to me at this time, I also know that the talisman should have failed and did not succeed, otherwise the talisman would never spontaneously combust out of thin air.

But the problem is, there is nothing wrong, Zhuo Kai's pen for drawing the talisman has been put down, which means that the talisman has been completed.

But why...

At this time, Zhuo Kai looked at me helplessly.

"What's wrong? Brother Zhuo Kai, why are you looking at me like that? I asked.

"Brother Chen Tian, the talisman has indeed been painted, but I haven't given the talisman yet, but you disturbed me at a critical moment, so the talisman will spontaneously combust." Zhuo Kai explained.

“......”

I was speechless for two seconds, and then said with a smile: "You didn't say that you will need some spirit after the talisman is drawn." ”

"Well, I'm really to blame for that." Zhuo Kai nodded.

Subsequently, Zhuo Kai told me that after successfully drawing the talisman, he should 'point the spirit' for the talisman in a very short time, so that the talisman can be regarded as truly completed, and it can have its effect and power, otherwise it will be a failure.

There are only two results for the failed product.

The first result, as just now, is spontaneous combustion and destruction.

The second result is that the talisman has no effect or power, and is simply a piece of paper with strange symbols drawn on it.

After listening to Zhuo Kai's explanation, I realized that there was such a thing as 'point spirit', that is to say, the second time that could have been successful, it was I who disturbed Zhuo Kai, who was about to point the spirit for the talisman, which caused the second talisman to fall short.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, my fault, I didn't know that the talisman was still a spirit." I hurriedly blamed myself for the fault, and in fact, it was indeed my fault, or else a Divine Fire Talisman would have successfully entered my pocket by now.

"It's that I forgot to tell you, it's okay, there are still some materials, I'll continue to try, but now I can't promise to give you two Divine Fire Talismans." Zhuo Kai said.

"It's okay, it's okay, you can continue to draw, and you can draw as much as you can." With that, I casually glanced at the rest of the material.
