The dry wood in the fireplace made a "crackling" sound under the scorching flames.

Zhang Xiao sat by the warm fire, her dark brown pupils shining in the light of the fire.

Sister Bird was lying comfortably in his arms and closing her eyes to take a nap, the weather outside was not very good, and the biting cold wind with snowflakes had been howling for a whole day.

Zhang Xiao gently stroked Sister Bird's soft feathers, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she was worried about something.

There was a piece of parchment on the small table in front of him, and because the quill couldn't turn around, he bought a fountain pen.

At this time, the valuable pen was lying on the parchment at random, and Zhang Xiao stared at the content on the parchment:

Postpartum care for sows

The Complete Works of The Lord of the Rings

Dragon Ball hardcover color version (several)

Huaiyang Recipes - Graphic Version

Five Thousand Years of China (Pinyin Children's Edition)

......

These were all Christmas gifts that he had prepared, but he had a problem with the gifts he gave to some people.

For example, what does Professor McGonagall give?

The first thing that came to Zhang Xiao's mind was the cat climbing frame that often appeared in the same people.

If it doesn't, it will be turned into a mouse! Or become a cat and climb a hundred times on its own!

Well? Seems to be able to send this?

Zhang Xiao's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly wrote the gift she thought of on the parchment.

Hey, Professor McGonagall should like it.

The gift to Professor McGonagall was like opening the door to a new world, Zhang Xiao wrote on a piece of paper one after another.

Professor Flitwick – Xiangyun (Child's model: maximum elevation 1.5 meters)

Professor Sprout – Changbai Mountain Ginseng (said to be able to raise ginseng dolls)

Professor Snape - Reluctance Large Bottle (crossed out) Head & Shoulders Large Bottle (crossed out) Hong Kong and Macau Famous Scissors VIP Card (crossed out) Talk Show Annual Pass (crossed out) Little Chemist Training Course (crossed out)

........ Air conditioner (crossed out) oil tin (crossed out)

Zhang Xiaoqi almost threw away the pen, and finally wrote it on the medicine cabinet (constant temperature medical grade)

Finally finished writing the gift list, Zhang Xiao closed the pen, cut and sealed the parchment, Qingluan also woke up, tilting his head slightly to look at him.

"Sister Bird, wait until the weather is good before leaving, by the way, there are a lot of things this time, can you bring it?" Zhang Xiao handed the gift slip to Qingluan and asked worriedly.

Qingluan nodded proudly, as the messenger of the legendary Queen Mother of the West, if he couldn't carry a load at all, how could he undertake the task of delivering the letter?

Picking up the letter and turning his head under the wings, Zhang Xiao looked at it with blank eyes, curious like a cat scratching.

He had seen it countless times, and no matter how he looked for it, he couldn't find where Sister Bird usually hid the little fruit.

Extradimensional space pockets?

Zhang Xiao reluctantly retracted her gaze, if she knew that Sister Bird hid everything there.... Suck it up, and you'll have a lot of small fruits to eat!

By the way, there is one more thing, I hurriedly took out the clairvoyant mirror again, this time it was my mother who connected, first inquired in detail about the life of the school, and then cared about the progress of learning.

It took Zhang Xiao almost half an hour to deal with his mother's concern, and he almost forgot about his parents' business when he was interrupted.

After describing her needs to Li Qingshu, she pondered for a while and said:

"This thing you're talking about.... It seems that there is, wait a minute, I'll let your dad say, he knows more about miscellaneous items. ”

After a while, Zhang Chengdao's voice sounded over there: "What's the matter?" ”

Sometimes Zhang Xiao wonders how Zhang Chengdao gave the identity of the young heavenly master of Longhu Mountain, who sounds fairy-like and extravagant, to become a rich family.

is obviously versatile, handsome and chic, and is still a 16-year-old genius of Taoism, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a Taoist promotion.

But he can always make you forget all the adjectives above at the moment he speaks, leaving only one thought: "This young heavenly master is good, but he has a long mouth!" ”

I've only been to the Northeast for a few days, and I've already tasted a lot of ballast.

Zhang Xiao feels that at least more than half of her current personality is learned from her father, and the remaining half is brought by her previous life.

sighed: "Dad, I've read it in the miscellaneous book, our Daomen has a lot of research on magical beasts, ah, Daomen is called spirit beasts, isn't it?"

There's something called a spirit animal collar, is it hard to get? Can I ask for one? ”

"Spirit beast collar?" Zhang Chengdao only thought slightly: "That's right, there is such a thing."

However, this circle has a single function, its usefulness is relatively narrow, and it is not cheap. It's rarely seen anymore. ”

There really is, Zhang Xiao was excited, the miscellaneous book he read was almost a version from fifty years ago, and the transcendent world was so problematic, if the relevant knowledge was not important, the update would be extremely slow!

Hogwarts still has a lot of textbooks that are more than 100 years old!

"Can I ask for one? If it's too valuable, forget it. ”

Zhang Chengdao smiled and said lightly:

"Son, the price is relative to its actual value, one of your wands can be exchanged for a box, little meaning!"

Here it comes! Not again! This damn tyrant atmosphere and a vague sense of weirdness.

After ending his father's call, Zhang Xiao took out another sand table, which he asked Professor Flitwick to cast a powerful recovery spell.

took out a small bamboo pole and skillfully drew a few talismans on the sand table.

There is no shortcut, only perseverance and practice make perfect.

During this time, as long as he was free, he would take out the sand table to practice, and never dared to slack off.

It is said that there is a huge pen-washing pool in the door, which is comparable to the Shichahai Sea, and the original rippling water has become pitch black.

Even the golden arowana raised inside has become a black arowana, which is a testimony to the efforts of Taoist priests who have practiced drawing talismans for thousands of years.

The bamboo pole was as smooth as a snake and a dragon on the sand table, and a strange text that looked like a bird and not a bird, a cow and a cow took shape quickly, and then a faint blue light seemed to flash on this rune.

This means that you are not drawing wrong.

As soon as the bamboo pole left the sand, it was like an invisible hand brushing over the sand table, and it slowly returned to its original state.

Magic is still convenient, if the Daomen is like himself, then the Arowana in the pen washing pool will have to drink less ink!

Zhang Xiao began to close his eyes, trying to draw silently with instinct, there is an extremely advanced method in the Dao Gate called the volley painting talisman.

Its difficulty is comparable to the combination of advanced spellcasting techniques, silent and staffless.

The main difficulty lies in the fact that when drawing the runes in the air, because there is no reference, it is extremely easy to connect the strokes, causing the runes to be deformed and adhered to, leading to failure.

Even if some monks practiced this method, it was rarely used in actual combat, because it was difficult for them to keep their movements from deforming and successfully draw talismans in a rapidly changing and fierce situation.

Therefore, in the case that the rune paper is already very convenient, the volley drawing rune is more of a show-off and pursuit.

As for whether it is a show-off or a higher pursuit, it all depends on the individual.

Zhang Xiao closed her eyes and held her breath, concentrating on controlling the bamboo pole in her hand, and the other hand kept changing the handprint.

I imagined the scene of dark clouds covering the sky and golden snakes dancing wildly, and rolling muffled thunder echoed between heaven and earth.

This talisman was so familiar that he drew it almost in the blink of an eye.

After putting the pen away, Zhang Xiao hurriedly opened her eyes and looked at the sand table expectantly.

I saw that on the sand table, a rune faintly exuded a light blue brilliance, and then slowly dissipated under the effect of the spell.

Zhang Xiao stood up suddenly, waved his fist, and succeeded!

After a month-long repetition, he finally succeeded once!
