Chapter 75: The Talisman
Huo Guang walked back to the courtyard, and said to himself as he walked through: "Rice paper is good for writing, but it is still unsatisfactory to replace toilet paper, and it needs to be improved." ”
When I returned to the courtyard, I saw Zhang Lu who was still kneeling: "Why is Shopkeeper Zhang still kneeling, get up quickly." ”
"Huo Gongzi also ask me how to make paper." Zhang Lu is very devout to seek advice, his father has pursued it all his life, but he did not expect to see such a light, clear, pure white and tough paper in this life, and his father's obsession has long been cultivated in his heart.
Huo Guang was in a hurry to go, so he left a sentence late, but Zhang Lu kept kneeling, and the house slaves didn't dare to say anything until Huo Guang came back.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, do you really want to learn?"
"Huo Gongzi is talented, in Huo Gongzi's opinion, simple things, but in me and others I have been pursuing it all my life, I want to learn, I want to comfort my father's spirit in the sky, so no matter what the conditions, as long as Huo Gongzi is willing to teach me, I will be a cow and a horse to repay Gongzi."
Huo Guang helped Zhang Lu up: "You can teach you, but you have to promise me one condition." ”
"Childe, please say, don't say one condition, even if it is ten hundred, I will also agree."
Huo Guang waved his hand and smiled: "As long as you promise me to start today, you will not waste the craft of papermaking and the motivation for continuous innovation in the future." ”
Zhang Lu was stunned and said, "That's all? ”
"Well, that's all."
Zhang Lu solemnly promised: "Son, rest assured, from today onwards, Zhang Lu will definitely concentrate on papermaking, and he will not dare to think about it." ”
Huo Guang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, you have also seen this kind of paper, although it is good, but in my opinion, it is only a half-finished product, I will give you the method, I want you to make a better paper than this." ”
"Better paper than this?" Zhang Lu looked at Huo Guang in disbelief, this kind of paper was already perfect paper in his opinion, but in Huo Guang's opinion, it was just a half-finished product.
"Of course, and according to the different uses of different kinds of paper, this kind of paper I call him rice paper, light and translucent, writing on it is extremely beautiful, made in the future to pay tribute to His Majesty the Emperor as a paper for the ministers to fold, the paper for writing words is OK, but for the scholars is too thin to use, I also want a thicker and harder paper, to replace the bamboo pieces of the scholars, for the people of the flat head also need a more tough paper, and so on."
Huo Guang named the different types of paper, and sketched a blueprint for Zhang Lu's future research direction.
Zhang Lu looked at the white paper with yearning: "Huo Gongzi, please teach me now." ”
"Don't worry, the things at home haven't been dealt with yet, it's getting late today, I still have some things to do tomorrow, wait until the day after tomorrow, you come to me again, I'll teach you, and then arrange the rest for you."
Zhang Lu understood that the family thing Huo Guang was referring to was his wife, and his wife obviously didn't want him to make paper anymore.
"Don't worry, Childe, I'll take care of it."
"Don't call me a son in the future, call me the owner."
"Yes, host."
made up his mind to follow Huo Guang, and Zhang Lu went home to deal with his family's affairs.
Huo Guang thinks that Zhang Lu is good, he is also a more practical person, a skilled craftsman, and has a great passion for papermaking, so he can try to become the shopkeeper of his own papermaking business.
In the future, paper can also help him make a lot of money.
Huo Guang took down another piece of paper, tore it into small pieces, and wrote a fire word in his heart.
Qi was surging, and the paper in his hand immediately burned into a raging fire, and as he controlled it, the fire became more ferocious, and then he stopped, and if he continued to join Qi, he would burn down the house.
I picked up a small piece again, wrote the word water, and in the same way, the water surged in mid-air.
He used Qi to create something out of nothing, and immediately wrote down a golden word in a hurry, if this can also be made out of nothing, he still racked his brains to do something inventive, and it took off in an instant.
Qi was surging, but no matter how it didn't succeed, it was still delusional.
After many attempts, only water and fire can spawn out of thin air.
Before he could try more, Huo Zhongru came back, and watched Huo Guang take out his bath bucket, which still had a lot of pulp in it, and couldn't help but scold: "You loser, the good bath bucket has ruined you." ”
"Father, I've asked someone to go out and buy you a new one, which is bigger than this and more comfortable than this."
"That'll do fine."
Huo Zhongru nodded contentedly and then immediately said, "Ah Guang, I heard in the Shaofu Courtyard today that Ganfu and the Sang sisters are leaving. ”
"Well, leave tomorrow, I'll see them off early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, you have to go and send it, Ganfu taught you a lot of things, Sang Jin and Sang Yu have a lot to do with you, and it's not good to go empty-handed, you go buy some gifts."
"Father, I'm ready for a gift, what else is it to do with it?"
After a while, Huo Zhongru's new bath bucket came back, and Huo Zhongru looked at the size and made him very satisfied, so it didn't matter if Huo Guang used his bath bucket to hold pulp.
"Father, look at the paper I made." Huo Guang handed the paper to Huo Zhongru, who looked at it carefully, and then said, "Give me the pen." ”
After taking the pen, Huo Zhongru wrote down the word water, and controlled the water on the side to fly.
Very surprised said: "This kind of paper seems to be able to replace the bamboo we use, very light, easy to carry, it is very inconvenient for the scholar to go out with a large number of bamboo pieces, with this paper can indeed be much more convenient." ”
Huo Zhongru was very keen to find business opportunities.
"Father, you also think there is a future."
"You can do more with this thing, isn't it?"
"It's troublesome for high quality, and it's much easier for low quality."
"If you want something of bad quality, it's good to be practical, and it's not for the emperor."
Huo Guang raised his eyebrows: "Father, I also plan to dedicate good quality to the emperor." ”
"If it's dedicated to the emperor, remember to sell it more expensively, the emperor has money."
Huo Zhongru can always grasp the key points concisely.
Huo Guang suddenly had another idea, Huo Zhongru They write to control, and they can generate things like water and fire, so isn't it very similar to the legendary talisman to write the words on the paper and urge them with Qi?
Immediately took down a large piece of paper, wrote down a lot of words with great effort, and then put the paper in front of him.
"Heaven and Earth Xuanzong, Wan Qi Root."
"Cultivating for hundreds of millions of eons, proving my supernatural powers."
"Inside and outside the Three Realms, only the Tao is the only one."
"There is a golden light in my body, covering my body."
"Golden Light Spell."
As the incantation was finished, there was silence all around, nothing happened, only Huo Guang, who was in a posture, accepted everyone's gaze with some embarrassment.
Huo Guang was a little embarrassed, and thought that he had created the way of the talisman by chance, but obviously the rumored golden light spell had no effect.
Huo Zhongru, who endured not scolding Huo Guang for a day, finally couldn't help it: "I have a sick brain." ”
Even so, Huo Guang still felt that maybe Fu Qiyi was really like this, and had another idea in his heart.
"Since the spell of the Golden Light Spell is useless, let's try this."
One palm stretched out, and the word "thunder" was written on the palm, and he shouted: "Lei Fa, palm thunder." ”
The Qi current compressed, and the heaven and earth were suddenly suppressed, and a light that was difficult to see directly with the naked eye burst out from Huo Guang's palm.
