Chapter Forty-Six: The Thousand-Petaled Lotus
"Oh?" Zhuo Zhuo looked at Huang Ming, who had firm eyes, but was amused, "Who taught you to say that, isn't it a pomegranate?" Or do you think that the spells of our carnivorous forest are all cabbage?"
Even Li Jige, who had always been good-tempered, frowned secretly, and Xue Yi hurriedly played a round: "Huang Ming has just arrived, and he doesn't know the taboo of practicing magic, Huang Ming, quickly admit your mistake to your Uncle Zhuo!" β
Li Jige looked at Huang Ming's face, it was indeed not like what he knew before, and Huang Ming explained lightly: "Senior nephew Huang, as one of the central departments of the ancestral mountain, the disciples in charge of it can indeed choose a technique to practice in other halls, which is also the reason why I have been in a hurry to find you since yesterday, because according to the ancestral calendar, unless you get the permission of the sect master, the disciples of the enlightenment period are not allowed to worship the two halls that practice magic, even so, they can only be registered disciples, and cannot become personal disciples, do you understand?" β
"It's the disciple who is reckless, I really don't know that there is such a rule in the door, and I hope Master Zhuo will forgive me."
Li Jige looked at Huang Ming, who was bending down and saluting, and sighed.
Zhuo Zhuo's eyes, when he entered, he did not open his mind, and the six formations that presided over the three passes and six formations were Zhuo Zhuo's first choice, but the three levels were easy to pass, and he missed the eyes of the formation when he entered the six formations, and did not enter the six formations mountain, but was accepted into the flesh-eating forest by Tan Mao's master Tian Que.
Later, when performing a sect anti-theft mission, Zhuo Zhuo, who was surrounded by the opposite side, broke through the encirclement with the martial arts practiced by the carnivorous forest, and not only pulled out a body trick out of thin air when he was fighting for life and death, but also "opened his eyes" in his eyes, and the signs were obvious.
Therefore, Zhuo Zhuo, who was still in the enlightenment period, made an exception and was promoted to become an inner disciple, not to mention, Pomegranate even wore out his mouth on the side of his master Tian Que, even so, he failed to take Zhuo Zhuo away from the carnivorous forest, but the troublesome pomegranate had a very poor relationship with Tan Mao, who had not yet served as the owner of the carnivorous forest.
However, the pomegranate has always been very good to Zhuo Zhuo, Zhuo Zhuo went to Neize twice in the enlightenment period and the hemolysis realm, and the pomegranate was given by a secret talisman, and later Zhuo Zhuo mastered the secret technique of the carnivorous forest, and the momentum in Taiqing was like the sky, and the relationship between the two was also quite good.
It wasn't until two years ago that Huang Cheng was knocked into Yihu by Mohe to open his eyes, and the two fought for Huang Cheng, and he should have taken Huang Cheng away after Pomegranate hit Zhuo Zhuo, but Jia Honghu gave Huang Cheng to Zhuo Zhuo afterwards, and Pomegranate was in a hurry, went to the hall to argue, and was sent out by Jia Honghu with a sleeve.
Since then, the two have been at odds, and Pomegranate even said that in the future, where there is Master Zhuo, there will definitely be no Dong Jin. So at the beginning, the two of them negotiated to use the pomegranate favor and Zhuo Zhuo's money, but there was no movement for two years.
It wasn't until some time ago, when Liang Jun, the master of the door who had traveled for many years, returned, that things were alleviated, and Liang Jun told Pomegranate that Zhuo Zhuo was willing to gamble and lose, and he was willing to give Huang Cheng to Pomegranate as a closed disciple, but Jia Laozu suddenly appeared, and felt that Huang Cheng was okay to practice the Shading Dan technique, and he would not succeed in practicing the "Thousand Petal Lotus" rune array of the Symbol Mountain, so he gave this rare mirage disciple to the carnivorous forest.
Dong Jin is not an unreasonable person, Liang Jun is also one of his few "peers", and the relationship has always been very good, so he took the initiative to give in and asked Liang Jun to tell Zhuo Zhuo that he was ready for money in the near future.
Until the day before yesterday, the appearance of Huang Ming, a disciple of the eye, made the relationship between the two who had eased slightly, and there was a crisis again, Li Jige found the pomegranate, mentioning Huang Ming in the selection of the record office, the symbol mountain and the carnivorous forest can not be taken away directly, and it has to be left to Huang Ming to choose, no matter where he chooses, there can be no objection to the side that is not chosen.
So this time, even if Huang Ming, who has a single body qi, is not suitable for cultivating the Thousand Petal Lotus, Jia Honghu will not come forward to stop it.
Indeed, Pomegranate also knows that once you don't practice properly, you will really die.
Just as Li Jige was thinking about it, he didn't expect Huang Ming to quickly come up with an idea, clasped his fists and said with a wry smile: "The disciple is willing to practice the talisman technique with Senior Dong, Senior Li and Senior Zhuo, I have disappointed you." β
Zhuo Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Jige beside him, kicked down the not small beam beside him, and scolded with a smile: "Get out." β
Xue Yi first took Huang Ming back to the note, and told Fang Hua about the matter, Fang Hua patted his forehead, and nodded Huang Ming's forehead, "Since you kid has the symbol of the pomegranate in the mountain, why do you come to the memoralist office?" β
After speaking, Fang Hua sighed again, "His cold stove is not easy to burn, you might as well go to the perennially popular carnivorous forest to feel more comfortable, there are big fish and meat every day, and a big bowl of wine, so happy." β
Xue Yi rarely showed a smile: "Senior brother didn't go over to eat and drink, every time he went out drunk, he even ate and took it." β
"Bastard! I haven't been here for more than a month, this kid has done this kind of thing, how dare I lick my face and beg for a drink recently? Fang Hua slapped the table, and the dust on the roof beams was shaken, and it shook off at least three or two times.
"Don't rush to find the pomegranate first, wait until I find Deputy Master Li to find out, and then scrutinize."
In this way, Huang Ming has also been in the record office for ten years, in addition to being familiar with the environment, that is, cleaning and practicing, Xue Yi asked Huang Ming about choosing exercises on the way back, Huang Ming only said that he exchanged merit points for two idle books, and the token was still in his hand. Xue Yi didn't continue to ask anything.
One night, Fang Hua pushed open the door of Huang Ming's house, and Xue Yi and Fang Hua's eldest disciple Jiang Mingxi came with him.
Jiang Mingxi was once one of the core disciples, tall and magnificent. In the early years, when he had not gone up the mountain, he could be regarded as having a very high status in the Great Sui, and when he went to Neize, he was not lightly injured in the qi, and basically cut off the opportunity to advance the pulse period, and then went to the affiliated sect of Taiqingmen for more than 20 years to transfer to the martial arts, and he was actually cultivated by him to cultivate the four tricks, and he still looked like a young man who was less than thirty years old.
This time I returned to Zushan, just to go to Li Jinyan's side to register a number, and next time the inner gate selects core disciples, can I not go through the process and go directly to Neize to find herbs and bloodlines that break through the hemolysis realm.
The three of them came here, Fang Hua roughly explained the intention, Li Jinyan first agreed to Huang Ming's going to the symbol mountain, tomorrow morning, Xue Yi will still take Huang Ming to the symbol mountain, if the practice is needed, there is no need to go back to the memory every day.
Then Li Jinyan vetoed Jiang Mingxi's proposal to directly take away a place in Neize, although he also knew that this Fang Hua's proud protΓ©gΓ© had four body knots and three fairly sound qi knots, and he had experience in Neize and struggle, but there were more than ten sects including the three sects plus the True Intention Gate, and the quota was all set to death. The other sects range from one to two, Fang Hua still needs to be defended, Li Jinyan can only take Kui to go to Beijing for the last selection did not go to the Descending Temple for trial, and he also canceled the treatment of the core disciples, so this time the selection of core disciples, Kui will also participate in Beijing.
That Fang Hua also said a fart, and took Jiang Mingxi away directly, and then returned to the memory office to find Huang Ming, the reason why he brought Jiang Mingxi to see Huang Ming was naturally to ask for something.
Fang Hua smiled and said: "Huang Ming, you go to the Symbol Mountain, Deputy Master Li didn't say yes, he didn't say no, I gave up the old face and didn't want it, I relied on the old man to sell the old man to ask for it, Li Jinyan The kid also said, it's all for the sake of my Fang Hua's face that I let you go to the Symbol Mountain to practice, you know, right?" β
Huang Ming bowed down, rolled his eyes secretly, but still said respectfully: "Old Fang, it doesn't matter if you say it, as long as I Huang Ming can do it, I will definitely do it, even if it is murder and arson, I will not frown." β
After hearing this, Fang Hua was extremely useful, patted Huang Ming on the shoulder and said: "Very good, this correct attitude is the foundation of my generation's cultivation, and all the fate lies in the heart..."
In fact, there is only one thing: ask Pomegranate for two talismans to use for Jiang Mingxi's body, and the selection will definitely not be needed, so you can wait for three years to go to Neize and hand them over to Jiang Mingxi.
So don't be in a hurry, Fang Huayan said, it's not too late for you to talk when you are familiar with pomegranates.
Huang Ming clasped his fists and saluted Fang Hua and Jiang Mingxi, "Old Fang is relieved and will give an explanation to Senior Brother." β
The two hurriedly helped themselves up. Jiang Mingxi let out a long breath, if he had Uncle Pomegranate's talisman by his side back then, how could he be so seriously injured under those few wild cultivators, and even the two blood lotuses that the master had been talking about for many years were taken away.
Jiang Mingxi glanced at Shizun with guilt, Fang Hua knew what he was thinking, and shook his head with a smile.
The next day, Huang Ming wrapped his belongings, stepped on Duzhong, and boarded Xue Yi's cloud disk.
Dong Jin knew yesterday that Huang Ming would come to practice the talisman array with him, and while he was happy, he also remembered the relationship with Zhuo Zhuo for many years, thinking about it, and finally went to the carnivorous forest last night to string a door, Zhuo Zhuo closed the door and disappeared, Li Jige said that it was okay, it didn't matter, come a few more times, and naturally see it, Pomegranate smiled and said yes, and after staying for a while, he said goodbye and left, before leaving, Li Jige also gave the pomegranate the eye purification technique, Pomegranate looked in the direction of Zhuo Zhuo's room, saw a small head poked out and retracted, and took it with a smile.
Today, he still put on the robe left by his master, and watched Xue Yi's cloud disk slowly fall in front of the symbol mountain gate.
According to the rules, Dong Jin led Huang Ming alone to worship in the small ancestral hall of the previous generations on the side of his residence in Houshan, and there was no statue in it, only a name. As long as you don't kneel, you won't be counted as a named disciple of the Symbol Mountain, and you will still be deserved.
Pomegranate is not a person who is stubborn, even if Huang Ming is not affiliated with the Symbol Mountain, it doesn't matter, as long as the talisman array left by the master can be passed on, this time to Neize, Pomegranate can also feel at ease.
On the way out of the small ancestral hall to the pomegranate tree, Huang Ming claimed to have a reluctant invitation. Before Huang Ming could speak, Dong Jin smiled and said, "Yes, yes." β
Both sides knew each other and laughed at each other.
Talking to smart people is easy.
When Xue Yi went back that day, he was holding two pomegranate juice talismans sealed in the seal box. Less, less, there should be four.
After arranging a place for Huang Ming to live that day, Dong Jin gave Huang Ming the eye purification technique, saying that the several potions needed in it had been prepared, and as for the spirit beads used in practice, he Dong Jin would also bear it, so he didn't have to worry.
Huang Ming has been thanking others recently, and is planning to make persistent efforts to be more sincere, but Dong Jin said no, you and I take what we need, and I don't raise waste people here.
What he didn't expect at all was that just as Pomegranate's words fell, a burning talisman came to Huang Ming's eyes.
Huang Ming instinctively retreated backwards, secretly wrapped in the momentum of his left hand and intended to scatter the talisman that seemed to be threatening, who would have thought that his feet were deeply trapped in the two muddy water talismans, and he couldn't move at all.
What else, Huang Ming crossed his arms to protect his head, and took the fireball talisman of pomegranate firmly.
The fireball was indeed not very powerful, Huang Ming pounced a few times and then disappeared, and the two muddy water talismans under his feet gradually lost their effectiveness due to a long time, and Huang Ming broke free.
Looking at the smiling pomegranate not far away, Huang Ming looked at his new clothes that had burned out in just a few days, and looked a little sad.
"If you encounter a wild cultivation in Uezawa, and the fireball talisman is replaced with a more offensive gold talisman, do you still plan to ask for these two hands? After a successful blow, Sanxiu will not stand here and reason with you calmly. β
"The disciple knows."
Pomegranate waved her hand, and the smile on her lips became stronger.
This changed his name to be a disciple?
It's just preaching and teaching, and the face still has to be talked about, Pomegranate restrained his smile and asked, "I wasn't a monk before my eyes were opened, didn't I use a magic talisman?" Have you ever seen where the fireball is coming from? β
"Disciple Lu Dut," Huang Ming thought for a moment, "Although I haven't seen the heels of Dong Shi's two talismans wrapped around your feet, the fireball talismans should have come from your sleeves, but they were pinched too quickly and couldn't really be seen." β
"It's true that it's true that I have it in my sleeve, as for those two quagmire talismans, they were buried in the ground by me early, and the rune stones are cracked and not broken, and they have been pulled by my qi engine, just wait for you to step on them, and I will throw fireballs at you." Pomegranate touched Huang Ming's head, "From the current point of view, you do have some talent for cultivating talismans, this thing is not a single thing, God has fed it to your mouth, don't know what to do, chew carefully, and know how to cherish it." β
"Yes, follow Master Dong's teachings."
Pomegranate took his hand from Huang Ming's head, glanced at the pomegranate tree not far away, and said slowly: "I, Dong Jin, have never accepted apprentices in my life, and you are not practicing runes with me, but I want to take my master to accept apprentices to pass on your thousand-petal lotus technique. β
Huang Ming hesitated for a moment and slammed to the ground: "Senior brother." β
Pomegranate hurriedly helped and replied with relief: "Senior brother, please get up." β
The two were under the pomegranate tree, reflecting the afterglow of the sunset, and Dong Jin patiently explained the introductory skills of Fu Gong with Huang Ming.
"There are many mountains in the northern region, and the mountains with aura are now occupied by people, and the aura is just a lot, just take the Taiqing Mountain Range as an example, the bluestone produced at the root of the mountain is too hard, and it is not very suitable for use as a rune stone."
Immediately, Dong Jin threw Huang Ming a piece of Taiqing Mountain Bluestone, Huang Ming clamped his thumb and index finger, and shook his head with a little force.
"The material suitable for making rune stones, in addition to the aura can be retained, it must be polished as thin as leaves, if you choose the red material on the side of Tongyun Mountain, it is the best choice, the red material is smooth on the outside after polishing, the inside is like a honeycomb, and the qi can penetrate the runes directly after being pinched, and it is favored by the monks below the dantian period in my northern region, in addition to the spirit beads produced by the Tongyun Sect every year, the red material is also the best long-term transaction made by the Tongyun Sect, well, at least one of them." After speaking, Dong Jin threw Huang Ming another piece of red material from Tongyun Sect, which had been completely polished into the shape of a rune stone, one inch long and half an inch wide.
Huang Ming nodded secretly and glanced at Dong Jin.
Dong Jin continued: "In addition to the good material, there is also a very important point, as the head of the five elements of the talisman, the fire attribute talisman is the most frequently used by monks, and the red material itself is a kind of fire attribute spiritual material, the effect of the fireball and other fire attribute talismans, there is a bonus, in the same way, the two quagmire talismans I used at noon, it is not suitable to use red material, the tile mud of the Ruble Ditch in Neize is the most suitable choice of rune, and the second one, our Taiqing Yihu mud is also okay. β
Seeing that Huang Ming was a little thorough, Dong Jin continued, "The talisman has a wide range of uses, in the Northern Regions, there are many people who use it, but there are very few people who can draw talismans, and in addition to fighting, senior brother, I will also draw some talismans for other purposes, and even two kinds of talismans, in this Northern Regions, there is some reputation, these will be told to you later, since I have finished talking about the material of this rune, I will talk to you about things such as rune paper and runes." β
"As we all know, before the rune paper burns out, the runes need to be lit up to play the greatest role of the rune, a good rune paper will play a role in improving the monk's strength and feeding the rune when burning, and the value is not comparable to ordinary rune paper, the yellow paper rune paper of the symbol mountain and the cyan wind attribute rune paper are well-known in the northern region, you can take a look at it when you have time, as for the golden and jade rune of the ancient monks, my symbol mountain is also considered to have some inheritance, but it is not easy to make, and it is the killer weapon of many monks who use the rune as a means of attack."
"As the most important rune of the rune, is what I want to put in the last said, the palm of the rune above, less than a pen, more than hundreds, once there is a mistake, a rune paper will be in vain, as for the rune as the heart of the rune, it can be pulled out and reused several times, but once more than three times, the effect of the rune will be greatly reduced, which causes more monks with runes, and less monks who can draw runes The main and most direct reason: painting the rune is really to pay attention to a talent, only take the rune painted by that stroke, Many people mistakenly think that the most important thing is to do it in one go, but in fact, in my opinion, the state of mind is the foundation of drawing talismans, of course, in addition, there are still a lot of exquisiteness, so drawing talismans is a very high threshold of magic, ordinary monks, really can't learn. β
Dong Jin took out two blue and white porcelain bowls and a small jade bowl in his sleeve, which were covered with a lid with a talisman, the workmanship was exquisite, just looking at this container, he knew that it was worth a lot, and then Dong Jin gently picked it up in the air, and the lid of the first porcelain bowl contained extremely bright red juice, exuding a strong smell of blood.
"This is a kind of blood cinnabar produced in Tongyun Mountain, senior brother, I was fortunate to get a big bottle a few years ago, and there are only these left, this kind of cinnabar is the material used in the first talisman written to Jiang Mingxi during the day, cinnabar is only an ordinary thing in Tongyun Mountain, but it is only mixed with the essence blood of the bigtooth bear for more than two hundred years in Neizeli, it is commendable, pasted with this talisman on the chest, it can exert the hemolytic magic power of the ordinary hemolysis realm in a very short period of time, but this talisman not only has extremely high requirements for the explosive power of its own momentum, the more explosive it is, The shorter the time to activate the talisman, and the aftermath is not small, and the wear and tear on the major points of the body is great. Even so, there are not a few martial artists in the enlightenment period who ask me to draw this kind of talisman every year. β
After speaking, the pomegranate gestured three fingers, "This kind of martial artist talisman does not have a rune stone, and it will be stimulated purely by the martial artist's own momentum, as one of the talisman masters who can draw this kind of talisman in addition to a few masters of the Tongyun Sect, even if I use the talisman pen I am best at, the success rate is only thirty percent." β
"Senior brother, dare to ask how much is this talisman worth?"
Dong Jin smiled slightly, "If you go to Tongyun Sect with three materials, if you can draw a hemolytic talisman that can carry the blood of the bigtooth bear, you can charge a ghostwriting fee of fifty spirit beads, but Dong is not a businessman, and the drawing talisman is all based on preference." β
Huang Ming's eyes purred, and just as he was about to slap the horse, Dong Jin shook his head and uncovered the jade bowl.
But the bowl was like water.
Dong Jin's expression was solemn: "Senior brother, do you remember the cyan stone you couldn't pinch just now?" In the vicinity of that kind of stone, there is the treasure of the town of my symbol mountain, the Buddha Lotus. Yihu Yellow Petal Buddha Lotus is used as rune paper, and the heavy water in this bowl is the material for drawing runes. But if you really have great perseverance, you can see the veins of the Buddha lotus clearly, and you have painted all kinds of talismans with the five elements of materials instead of heavy water, and then you can give full play to the true magic of the thousand-petal lotus. β
