Chapter 6 Drawing Talismans
He Xin regretted it after finishing speaking, what was wrong with him, even if he didn't lend money to others, he couldn't say such things that hurt people's self-esteem.
When He Xin saw Lu Ming's eyes change from hope to astonishment, from astonishment to disappointment, he regretted it even more in his heart. Especially the lonely back of Lu Ming's silent turn and leave at the end, which made He Xin's weak heart hurt slightly. She felt a little sorry for Lu Ming at the moment, although she couldn't tell what the reason was, she knew that she couldn't bear to see Lu Ming like this.
"Wait, I'll just borrow you. He Xin hurriedly called out to Lu Ming.
"It's okay, you don't have to pity me, you're right, I'm a big man who doesn't lack arms and legs, and I can earn my own money. Lu Ming stopped and said.
"You" He Xin's beautiful eyes were immediately filled with mist, and the crystal tears in his eyes tried his best to endure: "It's okay for me to apologize to you, I was wrong just now, I shouldn't have said that about you." ”
"Besides, even if you look for a job, I'm afraid you won't be paid for a while, and you must be in urgent need of money now, right?" He Xin said slowly.
Lu Ming thought silently for a while, He Xin was right, he really needed money urgently, and besides, a girl was like this, what kind of stinky shelf did he put up.
"Okay, since Xiao Xin wants to lend me money like this, I'll accept it. Lu Ming looked embarrassed: "Ahem, who made me so soft-hearted." ”
"Hmph!" He Xin saw that Lu Ming had regained his hippie smiling face, and his tense heart was relaxed. I opened the bag in my hand and took out a stack of banknotes from it, and a sanitary napkin also fell down.
Lu Ming's eyes were quick, and he received it in his hand as soon as he copied it: "Here you go." ”
He Xin's face turned red and hurriedly took it: "I'll just pay this money, leave five hundred yuan for living expenses, and give you the rest." After saying that, he hurried out the door.
"You stick to it for the day today, and it's fine in the evening. Lu Ming shouted thoughtlessly.
Lu Ming looked at the two thousand yuan in his hand, and did not rush to buy herbs, but fell into deep thought. I borrowed 2,000 yuan this time, so what about the next time, do I have to borrow it again? And if I don't have money, how can I cultivate by myself? Could it be that I can go back to move bricks by myself, but how can I cultivate by myself with the little money I earn from part-time work? Besides, I also need to repay the money I borrowed from He Xin.
I am now practicing Qi at the first level, and I can refine some simple pills, but the herbs required for alchemy are more expensive, in case the refining fails, wouldn't it be a big loss, and I don't have a furnace for alchemy, it seems that alchemy is not successful.
Lu Ming's eyes lit up, yes, those first-grade runes he didn't dare to guarantee that they could be successfully manufactured, but those non-grade runes were still sure. The most important thing is that the cost of making talismans is low. A wolf pen, a few stacks of yellow table paper, and some cinnabar, a few cheap herbs are all done.
For a whole day, Lu Ming locked himself in the house and drew talismans. Drawing these runes without grade is not as simple as Lu Ming imagined, each rune must be meticulously drawn with the lines, without a trace of deviation, and at the same time need to inject a certain aura, otherwise no matter how good you draw, it is just a piece of waste paper without the slightest effect.
Snort, another talisman burst open, "Damn, there is a little more aura, and the quality of this yellow table paper is too poor." I knew that I shouldn't have been greedy for this little advantage. A big stack of paper for ten dollars just won't work. ”
"Forget it, let's stop here today, the aura is used up again, and this drawing talisman consumes the aura too quickly. Lu Ming also knew that the key was that his cultivation was too low, so how much aura could he have when he practiced qi. Although it doesn't take much aura to draw these ungrade talismans, it can't hold up a large number.
Lu Ming looked at the successfully drawn talismans on the table, two meditation talismans, one exorcism talisman, and one pure spirit talisman. Lu Ming nodded with satisfaction, and the failure rate of more than 80 percent did not disappoint him. Lu Ming knew that if he drew again next time, he would probably have a failure rate of half at most, and if he was proficient, he might not fail if he drew ten pictures.
He Xin finally got off work, so he hurried home. He Xin has dysmenorrhea, which has something to do with her premature loss of her mother, and she doesn't know that she can't catch cold water during her period, so she fell into this problem. Because I just went to work in the company, I didn't want to ask for leave, so I had to endure it for a day.
When I got home, I saw Lu Ming setting up a small stove in the courtyard, with a small jar on it, and he was boiling something.
"Xiao Xin, you're back. Lu Ming hurriedly put down the small jar: "You wait and drink it." As he spoke, he poured the contents of the small jar into a bowl beside him.
"This is the Chinese medicine I boiled for you, which is very helpful for you to treat menstrual cramps!" Lu Ming stirred it with a spoon, tasted it and said, "It's not hot, you can drink it while it's hot!"
"Who said I have menstrual cramps!" The first time a boy talked about this in person, Xiao is lively He Xin couldn't help but blush. But He Xin is strange, how does he know about his dysmenorrhea, this is a girl's privacy.
"Cut, I knew you had a stomachache when I saw you in the morning, and I thought you had a stomachache, but later I saw the sanitary napkin in your bag and knew that you had menstrual cramps. Lu Ming didn't understand He Xin's embarrassment at all, and said to himself: "My technique of treating dysmenorrhea is an ancestral inheritance, which can be traced back to the Kangxi period."
"Alright, alright, bring it. He Xin hurriedly interrupted Lu Ming, who knows what else he could pull out.
Sniffing the Chinese medicine in front of me, there was no bitter taste as expected, but a fragrant taste.
"I know that you girls are afraid of bitterness, but I put a few flavors of fragrant Chinese medicine in it, and it is expensive. Thinking of those flavors of Chinese medicine, Lu Ming's face was distressed, except for a little aroma, it had no effect at all.
Seeing Lu Ming's expression, He Xin wanted to laugh, and hurriedly picked up a small spoon and scooped it into his mouth. suddenly remembered that Lu Ming had used this spoon just now, and hurriedly looked at Lu Ming.
At this time, Lu Ming was cleaning up the small stove, there was still unburned firewood in it, choking Lu Ming with a puff of smoke, Lu Ming hurriedly wiped his eyes with his hands, who knew that the black ash on his hands touched his face.
He Xin quietly watched Lu Ming busy working there, and an idea suddenly popped up in his heart, it would be good to ask him to be his boyfriend!
Lu Ming didn't brag about it, He Xin really slept peacefully all night after drinking the medicine, and did not have menstrual cramps again, which made He Xin overjoyed. I was going to ask Lu Ming again if he needed to drink any more medicine, but found that Lu Ming had already gone out.
At this time, Lu Ming was in an antiquities trading market.
There is no store here, all the people who sell goods are stalls, and Lu Ming is not in a hurry to sell his talismans but walks with the crowd.
Antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures, bronze coins, and old porcelain are everything, of course, it is difficult to say whether it is true or false. There are not only vendors selling talismans like Lu Ming, but also some merchants selling pills.
However, Lu Ming also looked at those talismans, but they were just some ordinary yellow paper with a few curves that didn't know what they did, and at a glance, he knew that they were useless, the reason was very simple, there was no aura.
As for the pill that sold it, it made Lu Ming cry and laugh, and it was boiled from a few ordinary herbs, kneaded into pills of different sizes, and directly named it as the Resurrection Pill, the Rejuvenating Pill.
After turning around, Lu Ming has a bottom in his heart, at least he doesn't have to worry about selling talismans to arouse the suspicion of others, there are not many peers!
This antique trading market opened early, but it also dispersed early, and Lu Ming decided to find a vacant place to set up a stall when he saw that the time was not early!
