Chapter Eighty-Eight: The War Ends
"Dad, it's all right, why are you still sighing?"
Zhang Shuniang helped Zhang Yan into the bedroom, went to pour a cup of tea and came back, handed it to him, and saw him sighing from time to time, and couldn't help but persuade.
"Alas......"
Zhang Yan held the teacup, lowered his head and subconsciously blew open the tea leaves and wanted to drink hot tea, but found that it was a cup of cold water, so he put it aside and sighed:
"Debt is like debt, this time the favor is owed, and I don't know how to repay it in the future...... Come to think of it, the only thing your father can get his hands on is the skill of light talismans, it depends on whether he wants to learn it? ”
He sighed again.
That's his skill at pressing the bottom of the box.
That's what I eat.
Zhang Shuniang's face hesitated, and she hesitated for a while, before she bit her teeth and said: "Dad, in fact, my uncle has long been able to draw light talismans, and I have been learning talismans recently, I have never dared to tell you, I am afraid that you will be in a bad mood." ”
Zhang Yan's expression froze, he almost jumped up, and said in disbelief: "This ...... This can't be, it's only been a long time, he just learned the arrow amulet last fall, how can it be so easy to draw a talisman! ”
It took him half a year to learn how to avoid arrows.
Then it took five years to practice repeatedly, day by day, during which the various waste charms produced can almost be said to be piled up into a mountain, squandering an unknown amount of sweat, and spending an unknown amount of energy, so that he gradually mastered the various tricks of avoiding arrows, so that the drawing talismans are like gods.
With a single stroke, he can roughly know if this talisman can be made or not.
The success rate is as high as 50%.
As for the light talisman, it will take longer.
It has taken nearly ten years from the time he learned to the present, and it is only in recent years that the success rate has stabilized to three out of five, and even so, he has never thought of studying amulets.
First, his cultivation was only six levels of Qi training, and he was reluctant to draw talismans for spiritual power.
Second, the threshold of the talisman is too high, it is too difficult, he has not even achieved a light talisman, and he does not dare to open up a more difficult new talisman.
Even he was deterred.
And he Chen Wen was born in a wild way, and he was sick, and even the basic skills of drawing talismans were taught by him, how could He De learn that talisman! Dare to learn that talisman!
The strength is stronger than him.
He confessed.
He is a talisman master, and he is not good at fighting.
Cultivation is higher than him.
He also confessed.
The qualifications may really be inferior.
But on the drawing of symbols.
The old boy who has become tender is still a little tender.
"I'm going to see, I'm going to see how he draws the light talisman...... Hmph, thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, don't go well, just think about running! Zhang Yan snorted coldly, stood up and prepared to find Chen Li to find out the truth.
Seeing this, Zhang Shuniang hurriedly dragged him and said hurriedly: "Dad, why do you want to come out one by one, it's so late now, Uncle and Aunt Zhou are estimated to have slept a long time ago, and there are still corpses outside!" ”
I don't know if the former persuaded him, or the latter.
"Then wait for tomorrow!" Zhang Yan was dragged back to sit down by Zhang Shuniang, picked up the teacup and drank water, glared at her and said, "Sooner or later, I will be angry with you, and I don't know how to make a cup of tea." ”
"Then I'll go boil water now!" Zhang Shuniang said weakly, and she didn't know where she had upset his father again.
"Forget it, it's so late, let's go and rest early."
……
Morning.
In the talisman room.
The table was littered with clutter.
The various waste symbols are arranged in order of drawing time, and occupy almost half of the desktop.
Every time I draw a talisman, I have to go through it again.
As a highly educated modern man, his logical and analytical skills are better than those of the vast majority of natives of this era, plus he is diligent in summarizing and taking notes.
In the process of learning talismans and spells, although he may be bumpy and the learning speed is not satisfactory, he has been able to move forward steadily and walk on the right path.
After reading the scrap talisman, Chen Li flipped through the research notes again.
knocked a qi tonifying pill, and then closed his eyes and quietly breathed.
Soon he opened his eyes, picked up a pen, dipped it in ink and began to draw symbols.
"Whew!"
The first one is scrapped.
Green smoke rose violently, and the smell of burnt paste was permeated.
Chen Li didn't pay attention to it.
Continue to draw the second one.
Fail!
The third one!
Fail!
He doesn't stop and writes very quickly.
As long as you draw enough, you can always run into a dead mouse.
The fifth
Scrapped again.
Feeling that only one-third of his spiritual power was left, Chen Li stopped.
He picked up the five waste talismans and pondered them carefully, his brows furrowed.
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Zhou Hong's voice came: "Zhang Daoyou is looking for you." ”
Chen Li's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Call him here!" Chen Li said.
Soon Zhou Hong led Zhang Yan to the talisman room: "You talk slowly, I'll make tea for you." ”
"Sister-in-law, no need, I'll sit and go." Zhang Yan hurriedly said.
She chuckled and said nothing, turned and walked away, and led the door.
Zhang Yan brewed in his heart, and was about to say some polite words to warm up the atmosphere, and then cut to the topic.
was interrupted by Chen Li.
"You're here just in time, help me see what's wrong." Chen Li was also polite, and pulled Zhang Yan to the talisman table.
Zhang Yan looked at the table full of waste talismans, and his face was stunned: "Are you really learning talismans?" ”
"Lady told you...... Let's not talk about this, my foundation is relatively weak, I have been thinking about this talisman for almost ten days, and I haven't figured it out, you can help me take a look. Chen Li said.
It's almost ten days......
Weak foundation......
Zhang Yan read silently, there were countless grooves in his heart, and he didn't know where to vomit.
"It's best to draw talismans gradually, it's best to make up the basics first!" Zhang Yan said earnestly, if it weren't for the life-saving grace, he wouldn't have been talked about so much, he said and picked up a scrap talisman that was still smoking: "I'm learning when the light talisman is drawn...... Learning ......"
The words suddenly got stuck.
His eyes widened, and he looked at the scrap talisman carefully.
This smooth line, this complicated texture.
The whole talisman is full of spirituality.
It gives a wonderful charm.
Although this is just a waste talisman, you can still see its profound skills, as if it came from the hand of a master.
Compared to what I saw last autumn, there is a difference between the two.
He couldn't help but look at the other waste talismans on the table.
Same style.
The same spirituality.
The same charm.
Many of them were still smoking, apparently freshly painted.
For a while, his spirit began to be a little dazed.
What am I doing?
Why did I come here so early in the morning?
Wait, don't lose face.
He hurriedly bit the tip of his tongue, and with a sharp pain, his spirit was violently lifted.
He stared at the scrap charm, inch by inch, trying to find a mistake.
Even a slight.
however
No!
No!
No!
……
He couldn't find it at all.
There was not the slightest obvious mistake or omission in the whole talisman, and it had even completely covered his level, reaching a realm that he could not hope for.
What's more, he hadn't studied the amulet at all.
"You talisman...... This talisman ......" fine beads of sweat oozed from Zhang Yan's forehead:
"The leakage and burning of great spiritual power is nothing more than ...... These reasons, one is that the output of spiritual power is too strong. The second is that the lines drawn are too close and the spiritual power interferes with each other, and the third is ......"
He began to talk in generalities, and the more he said that the more sweat he had on his forehead, the more he spoke, the more weak he became.
Chen Li listened, concentrated, thoughtful, and soon his eyes lit up.
didn't wait for Zhang Yan to finish.
He picked up the pen, dipped it in some blood ink, and quickly drew the symbols.
Seeing this, Zhang Yan hurriedly stopped talking, subconsciously held his breath, widened his eyes, and observed carefully.
It's a pity that Chen Li wrote very quickly.
The pen is like the wind, and the pen is like a dragon.
It's all in one go.
The talisman flashed, and then gradually dimmed, and finally the spiritual power was completely converging.
"Haha, it's done!" Chen Li put down his pen, laughed, and was in a happy mood: "Thanks to Zhang Daoyou's guidance, it helped me a lot, otherwise I would never have succeeded so quickly, saving me a lot of time!" ”
"Haha!" Zhang Yan laughed a few times with him, feeling that his back was soaked with sweat: "I just mentioned a few words, but I don't dare to take credit...... Oops, I almost forgot that the stove was still stewed, I need to go back and take a look, goodbye! ”
Chen Li looked at Zhang Yan's back as he left in a hurry, how could he feel a little weird.
He turned away from it.
The three best-selling talismans during the Qi training period.
Today I finally got it all in hand.
It is estimated that there are not many people in the entire Green River Fang.
……
Zhang Yan returned home with a dejected face, closed the courtyard door, walked into the back room, sat on the chair, and sighed.
"Dad, why are you sighing again, didn't you go to your uncle's house, why did you come back so soon?" Zhang Shuniang heard the movement and walked out.
Zhang Yan ignored the annoying daughter and sighed again.
The chest is so stuffy!
Uncomfortable.
I want him to be twelve years old, and he learned talismans from famous teachers.
It's been 33 years now.
But it's not as good as a halfway monk, and the wild road that he once pointed out.
In just one year, it was overtaken.
"Dad, is the uncle angry with you again, don't always compare with the uncle." Zhang Shuniang said seriously: "Uncle is in the late stage of Qi cultivation, and he is expected to build a foundation in the future, if he hadn't been delayed when he was young, he would be a great monk of foundation building now." ”
"That's what your uncle told you." Zhang Yan raised his eyelids and stared.
"What Aunt Zhou told me, I also think it is, uncle is very powerful, he can do anything!" Zhang Shuniang paused as she spoke, thought about it and added: "By the way, he can also use a lot of spells, very profound spells, Dad, you can't do it!" ”
Zhang Yan suddenly didn't want to speak.
Alas.
This daughter was raised for nothing!
was born specifically to anger him.
It's hard for him to and pee to feed her.
Now they all start to dislike him.
……
Another seven or eight days passed.
In the ashram.
Chen Li silently chanted the mantra in his mouth, and his fingers quickly sealed.
A second later.
He held out his hand.
A white ray of light shot out of his fingers and hit the mud wall opposite.
"Click......
As soon as the light touched the mud wall, it turned into an extremely cold mist of light, which spread rapidly to all sides.
Chen Li felt a chill hit him and retreated again and again.
He didn't stop until he was leaning against the wall.
In just a few seconds, a mud wall in front of him was completely frozen, and even if he stood ten meters away from the area, he felt as if he was in the ice and snow, and his eyebrows were condensed into frost.
After waiting quietly for a while, Chen Li stepped forward.
He pulled out his sword and touched it with the tip of his sword, and found that the wall was as hard as steel, and it was still 'sticky'.
Especially the location where the ice ray hit, there was still steaming white gas, and the cold was overwhelming, and even the nearby water vapor condensed into fine ice crystals, which continued to fall from the air like snowflakes.
Chen Li used a spiritual elastic force and hit the mud wall.
As a result, only a hole the size of a wine cup was punched.
"Sure enough, it's a first-order seventh-order spell."
This power ...... Ordinary first-order demon beasts, even if they can't freeze to death directly, they can definitely affect their ability to act.
If it hits the monk.
I'm afraid I'll just become an ice corpse.
"In the future, you don't have to worry about the monster meat not being able to keep it fresh." Chen Li said secretly in his heart.
……
"Someone went out last night and met an evil spirit, and was almost scared to death, so I said it there early this morning."
At dinner in the evening, Zhou Hong said with a smile while chatting.
Chen Li paused, swallowed the meat, and asked, "On our street?" ”
"yes, it's not that far from us." Zhou Hongdao, to put it mildly.
Chen Li was speechless.
What's so funny about that.
In some ways, the natives of this world are surprisingly bold.
Especially evil.
You want to say you don't care, right?
That's definitely still caring.
After all, the evil charms all sell well.
But if you want to say how scared you are, it's not that much, there have been so many evil incidents recently, and I haven't shown much panic, but I can understand that all the people living here are monks.
Maybe I'm making too much of a fuss.
He wondered if he wanted to touch it and see the world.
He hasn't really seen this ghost thing yet, most of the fear comes from the unknown, he was still afraid of demon beasts at the beginning, but now he has no feeling for first-order demon beasts.
He is still a little confident in his safety.
Whether it is an evil charm, a rebuke technique, or a palm thunder, it naturally restrains evil spirits.
Late at night.
Chen Li took ten evil charms and put them close to him.
Then he quietly walked out the door.
Before going out, he still thought that he would meet a female ghost or a male ghost this time?
If you encounter a male ghost, kill it directly.
If you meet a female ghost...... If you look pitiful, you will mercifully spare the horse.
If it is an abomination, kill it directly.
However, he walked back and forth along the street several times, and even had the courage to go to the grove and all kinds of remote places, except for the evil charm that inexplicably fevered a few times, don't say anything about the poor female ghost, he didn't even see a single hair.
In the end, he was disappointed.
……
In autumn, the weather gets cold very quickly.
Although the big trees on the street tried their best to save the leaves on their bodies, they still couldn't withstand the ravages of time and became more and more bald day by day.
Just when Chen Li thought that he was going to spend another cold winter here.
Suddenly, a piece of news spread through the streets.
The Yu family, who had moved in from the beginning of spring, was leaving.
When Chen Li heard the news, he was stunned at first, and then turned to ecstasy.
Obviously, the rebellion outside is over!
It's finally possible to get out of this rotting hellish place.
"Are you really leaving this time?"
When Chen Li and Zhou Hong talked about this, she was suddenly a little dazed, and she was a little uneasy about the future in the future.
"Of course it's true, when the time comes, we will follow the Yu family's team, and our safety will be guaranteed." Chen Li said seriously: "I estimate that there will be a lot of people who leave this time. ”
"Well, I listen to you, wherever you go, I will follow you." Zhou Hong said.
