Chapter 009: Learn to make fire talismans

"I can't find my way back. He looked left and right, and couldn't make out it. "What to do?"

"I knew that I had just marked the path on the map. He took out the map, but the blank map didn't help him in any way. There is only one way in and out of the back mountain, if you don't know the direction, like a headless fly, it is easy to enter the uninhabited area, or accidentally destroy any important cultural relics, then you really can't afford to sell yourself.

Qi Lan carefully identified the path when he came, looking at it step by step, and after a while, he was completely lost in the mountains and forests.

"It's over, I knew that I would have asked the shadow, now let's just find a direction to go, otherwise I won't be able to get out until dark. He closed his eyes and picked a direction that was pleasing to his eyes, and he moved forward.

A new small building appeared in front of him, and Qi Lan was overjoyed and stepped forward to knock on the door.

After a long time, no one responded, and he knocked vigorously a few more times, and just when he was disappointed, the stone door finally slowly revealed a crack.

"There's a play!" he exerted all his strength before he reluctantly pushed the door open, wondering how inconvenient it was to enter and exit whose door was so heavy in stone.

He peeked, and the windows inside were opaque, and there were no lights, so it was very dark. He asked aloud, "Anyone?"

He walked in, accustomed to the light in the darkness, and saw the humble home, the room empty, and the inner room even darker.

He felt a trace of fear inexplicably, "Forget it, I'd better go, the master's family doesn't seem to be there." I turned around and wanted to leave, but I saw a withered old face!

The old face was so close to him that he was so frightened that he staggered back and fell between the debris.

"Ahh

He seemed to remember the rotten aura just now, and secretly said in his heart, isn't he like a living person? But what is it that stands in front of him?

"Who came to visit my old woman? ”

This was a hoarse old voice, Qi Lan calmed down, and he could communicate if he could speak, and he instantly became bolder.

"Grandma, you've scared me. He soothed his beating heart and stood up again to look at the old man in front of him.

The old man's clothes were very old, his face was old, and his eyes were dark and staring straight ahead, even if he saw it now, Qi Lan was a little scared.

"Grandma's eyes ......"

"Blind. It's been years. No one has come to see me in years. The old woman moved forward, as if she was drifting, and scared Qi Lan a lot. She stretched out her hand as if to touch Qi Lan, and he quickly dodged away.

"Grandma, I've entered the wrong room, I'll leave!" he hurried to the door, but the stone door suddenly shut.

Now that he really couldn't see his five fingers, Qi Lan felt a chill on his back.

"Grandma......" his voice trembled, "I have no ill intentions, can you let me out." ”

"Talk to me. The mother-in-law said.

"Good!" he could say but say yes.

"Let me see what book you're holding. As soon as she waved her hand, the "Fire Talisman Making Essentials" in Qi Lan's hand floated into her hand. She stroked the text on the cover and muttered to herself, "Fire Talisman Making...... Hehe, does anyone still use this kind of thing?"

"You can make fire charms?" she asked suddenly.

"No, it won't. "Qi Lan has never seen it, let alone made a fire talisman.

"If you don't learn useless things. The old woman's tone was very loud, and she degraded the fire charm to worthlessness.

"However, this is my extracurricular assignment. Qi Lan argued.

There was a light in the darkness, and it was two small fireballs. Qi Lan was finally able to see, but found that it was not a candle that was lit, but a fireball floating in the air.

"If you have to learn, you might as well learn this. The old woman said.

"What?," Qi Lan had seen it in the expo room, and the scene in front of him made him judge that the old woman must be a speller, but he didn't hear the other party recite the spell.

"I can teach you. ”

"What?" Qi Lan suspected he had misheard.

"The premise is that you have to come here every day to talk to me, and I will assign tasks to you, and if you can't complete it, you will be sad. ”

Qi Lan didn't know what she meant by being sad, but if she wanted to learn spells, she could go to the treasure hall to learn from the martial arts, and she didn't have to ask for the strange old lady in front of her, and she was a blind old lady.

So he politely refused: "No need grandma, I don't want to learn." ”

The old woman's voice suddenly became stern, "Do you doubt me? Doubt my abilities! You, like them, think I'm useless if I'm blind, don't you?"

The sudden sharp sound frightened Qi Lan and made him speechless, and he was afraid that the old grandmother would have something against him.

But the old woman then said, "You are different from them, and I can see that your heart is clear." Don't you want to learn the fire talisman? Do it according to the method I taught you, if the quality of the fire talisman is not good, you won't be here, if the quality of the fire talisman is good, you want to come to accompany my old man, you know?"

"Hmm. ”

So far, Qi Lan had no choice but to follow her wishes and find a way to leave this place.

Out of thin air, the old woman had two more pens in her hand, and a lot of materials appeared on the ground.

"This is the Devil Tung Tree Body, a high-quality rune tree!" Qi Lan recognized, this kind of vision was obtained by absorbing a lot of knowledge in Bo Zhan Zhai, you must know that he has always had an extraordinary memory, and he has mastered a huge amount of knowledge in the study of Bo Lan Zhai day and night, but it is too late to apply it.

"And Fu Mo. "Regarding this red rune ink, Qi Lan doesn't know what material it is, but it is rare if he doesn't know.

I didn't see any movement from the old grandmother, and with a stroke of the pen, there were countless stripes on a piece of rune wood, which was red and dazzling.

"Duh!"

The stripes on the rune wood came to life, surrounding the rune wood, instantly turning the rune wood into a ball of flame, floating in the air.

Qi Lan was dumbfounded, yearning, and suddenly eager to try.

"You can try it too. The old woman said.

When he was interested, he finally put aside his fear, spread out the book, picked up a talisman pen, dipped it in talisman ink on a piece of magic paulownia wood, and painted and painted according to the book.

It took me a long time to draw a pattern, and it was so ugly that I was embarrassed.

"Duh!" he said to his grandmother. But the rune wood remained motionless on the ground.

"Aggressive!"

The old lady laughed and said, "Use your mind to communicate with Fu Mu." ”

I see!

The rune wood on the ground floated up under the control of the stripes, and was soon wrapped in brilliant stripes, and then turned into-

A cloud of ashes.

Qi Lan watched blankly as the results of his hard work for half a day turned into a cloud of dust in the air.

"I knew that you were painting too hard, and the thickness was not right. The old lady giggled, and Qi Lan was embarrassed to laugh.

He touched his head, "I haven't practiced before, I must be able to do it again." ”

In this way, Qi Lan in this small room, under the ridicule of the old grandmother again and again, persistently wasted one piece of material after another.

Until the sky outside also darkened, there was not a single success! Qi Lan deeply felt the difficulty and hardship of making talismans.

"So it's a useless thing, do you still want to learn it now?" the old grandmother persuaded Qi Lan to change her mind and transfer her skills at the right time.

Qi Lan nodded affirmatively and said firmly: "I must learn, and I won't give up until I succeed, but I'm really embarrassed to waste so many materials." ”

"It doesn't matter, a friend sent me to play with it in the past, and I'm just waiting to rot here. ”

"Grandma, I'm going back, I'll be here tomorrow. After half an afternoon of getting along, now he has no fear of his mother-in-law in his heart, although this old man can't see with his eyes, his heart is indeed good, and he is very patient, and it is even more rare that her talisman level is far above Qi Lan, and it is very easy to guide him.

"I'll add to you. The old woman scribbled on the map and showed him a way back.

Qi Lan finally found a familiar scene and returned to the dormitory building after a long absence. He finished washing up in the public bathroom, not wanting to wake up the sleeping Morta, so he went to bed lightly.

"You're back. "I didn't expect the Motai on the bed next to me to speak.

"Ah, you're not asleep?" Qi Lan asked.

"People are too alert to help it. "You're all in the expo?"

"Hmm......" Qi Lan didn't say anything about the old woman, because the old woman didn't seem to like people talking about her.

"I'm so annoying, what should I do?" said Motai suddenly.

"What's wrong with you?" Qi Lanqi said.

"I fell in love with a girl, she was gentle, kind, beautiful, generous, and graceful......"

"Stop, just say, what do you want?"

Mo Tai said melancholy: "I have already suffered from lovesickness, I don't think about tea and dinner, and I am getting haggard day by day, as a roommate in the same dormitory, how can you see death and not save it? Send me a letter tomorrow." ”

For a long time, I asked Qi Lan to help do this kind of thing.

"Why don't you go by yourself?"

"I'm going to have the guts to confess. The demon lady said with a sad face, as if she was very aggrieved.

I didn't expect that the magic lady was also timid, Qi Lan was secretly happy for a while, and he was in a good mood, so he agreed, "Cheng, I'll help you deliver a letter tomorrow, let's say, which girl do you fall in love with?"

"It's Teacher Zhang Xia who taught us runes. ”

"Teacher Rune?" Qi Lan thought of the female teacher who taught during the day, and was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
