206: Rent, part-time job
Huang Beixuan paced back and forth, looked at the snow in the moonlight outside, and said to Zhao Yingyun: "I heard that Governor Xun often said to people that he wanted to publish a book on the genealogy of the disciples of Tiandu Mountain, and now, Tiandu Mountain is the center of the wind and waves. ”
"I guess, it was killed by the people of Tiandu Mountain." Huang Beixuan said in a low voice.
"Oh, why do you say that." Zhao Yingyun asked.
"Does that need to be said? Let me tell you, don't look at Tiandu Mountain, it doesn't seem to be inconspicuous, but Tiandu Mountain is actually a big sect, and many people in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty have practiced in Tiandu Mountain. ”
"Oh." Zhao Yingyun responded.
"Anyway, it has nothing to do with us, I sell rune paper, you sell runes, no matter who is on it, our paper is still sold, your shop, no business or no business."
"Why do you say that my shop is not in business?" Zhao Yingyun asked.
"Say it casually." Huang Beixuan smiled: "By the way, why don't you draw more talismans?" ”
"At that time, I only bought three dozen, and there was no rune paper." Zhao Yingyun said.
"No rune paper, come on, come, I'll give you a dozen." Huang Beixuan said.
A dozen and thirty sheets.
Zhao Yingyun did not refuse, he decided to give the other party a talisman after the painting was finished.
"Can you call the shots?" Zhao Yingyun asked rhetorically.
"This rune paper workshop belongs to me and my brother." Huang Beixuan said loudly.
Zhao Yingyun felt that he might have poked him, so he didn't say anything more.
There are many unique talismans in this world, of course, for the main sect, there is nothing unique and not unique, only whether an individual is good at it or not, or whether he likes it or not.
Drawing talismans and calligraphy is also a process of cultivation for monks.
When you draw a talisman, the process of feeling the meaning of the Tao will change your consciousness, and if you feel the Tao, you will be close to the Tao, and if you feel the Dharma, you will be close to the Dharma.
Dharma will then grow, be conceived, and concluded in the mind.
Zhao Yingyun practiced qi painting talismans.
Qi practice is practice, and drawing talismans is also practice.
Practicing qi and collecting the vitality of heaven and earth into one's own body, and drawing talismans can be regarded as cultivating the spirit and refining the mind.
Although he used to mainly practice fire talismans, it was not impossible to practice other talismans.
But those who draw talismans generally start with water and fire, because the beginning of cultivation is to know yin and yang, and the representative of yin and yang is water and fire.
Originally, his mana became scorching, and he thought that it would be difficult for him to cast a negative spell again, but after transferring to the "Tai Void Tribulation True Sutra", his mana was no longer so hot, too ethereal and boundless, and all the images and qi were in the too void.
Under the command, it didn't take long for him to draw the Divine Water Talisman, which could be sketched in the void casually, so that the Void had water condensation, but the Divine Water Talisman wanted to go further, but it was not easy, which required the comprehension of a certain divine will, but the comprehension of this divine will was unattainable.
Then, he began to practice the others.
Among them, the return to the 'ruins' law has reached a bottleneck, and it seems that he is only one foot away from the door, but he can't cross it, and he knows that he is missing the opportunity.
However, the others have comprehension, among which the 'Suppression Magic Spell' that he learned from the Secret Realm of Heavenly Mansion, as well as the mountain cloud patterns that he himself knows, as well as the spells with similar meanings such as fixing, suppressing, forbidden, and sealing.
He felt that this might be all together, all in one place.
So he thought of refining a magic weapon.
The next day, he went to buy some stones for the seal.
The stone is hard, but not brittle, and each piece contains a certain amount of earth energy, or it can be called earth vitality, and the form is polished into the shape of a seal.
He practiced piece by piece, either carved into the 'immobilization seal', or carved into the 'demon suppression seal', or the 'forbidden law seal', or the 'spirit seal',
He kept combining, using the mountain cloud pattern as the main talisman, supplemented by words and spells.
In addition to the carved ones, he carved a total of more than 20 seals, and directly took a box and placed it on the table on the counter, occasionally someone came in and wanted to ask if there were cheap talismans to sell, but when he saw the small talismans on the counter, he was a little surprised.
When asked him the price, he opened his mouth to be ten spirit stones, and those who were scared to ask the price did not dare to speak again.
Although those stones contain some earth vitality, the texture belongs to the talisman that can be made, but a spirit stone can buy four, which is a very cheap training tool and hand training material, Zhao Yingyun asked for ten spirit stones at once, of course, no one wants to buy it.
But he thought that the chair he was sitting on was someone else who would accept two spirit stones, so he set this price, because this talisman was carried on his body, and after the monk's sacrifice, it was a magic weapon.
Even if a person who has not cultivated is always carried on his body for a long time, and it is in harmony with his own qi, it can also have a protective effect, and it can be used for a lifetime, unlike rune paper, which will disperse the true meaning of the rune in it.
Because the runes engraved on his talisman were intertwined with the earthy vitality inside.
Zhao Yingyun didn't care, he felt that his savings could still be spent a lot of time.
If there is really no one to buy it, then it will be sold at a lower price.
With his engraving, a solemn and sluggish Dharma intention also appeared on his body.
This is the Dharma that he has cultivated into his body, or the Dharma has entered his mind.
He suddenly thought that the golden crow divine bird bound on his lamp came from the depths of his soul and belonged to his own god, so when he engraved the seal, could the name of the god that needed to be engraved on it be replaced with the name of the mountain god in the depths of his memory?
When he thought of this, he immediately verified, he wrote again and again, in the fixed realm, calling "Emperor Dongyue" from the depths of consciousness, pouring his own ideas into the pen, falling in the ink, and writing on the paper.
After a day of practice, the words he wrote became heavier and heavier, and finally after the pen fell, a piece of rune paper was glowing, and the rune paper shattered into ashes in an instant.
Then, he took out a piece of blue rune paper, and finally, wrote the words 'Dongyue Taishan Tianqi Ren Holy Emperor'.
He rejoiced in his heart that there were gods in the world, one was a real god, and the other was non-real, in a form similar to a concept, which could also be said to exist in the depths of his soul.
God can be either an outer god or a god of the self.
In many cases, by visualizing an external deity, we are also shaping the deity of the id.
It's like copying a portrait.
There are many mountain gods in this world, and many people practice the town law, will go to worship the mountain god, or will use some rituals to marry the mountain god, such as recognizing the mountain god as a righteous father.
There has always been a mountain god in his heart, extremely powerful, suppressing the earth and the underworld.
It's just that the name of the god he wrote down now has divine will, but it is not as strong as the divine meaning of the one god name he engraved on the wind chime.
After all, the name of the god on the wind chime spirit stone is the real name of the mountain god in this world.
What he wrote down on paper now does not exist in this world, but comes from the depths of his own heart, which can be said to be his own distraction, his own divine will.
It's like the Golden Crow Divine Bird on his Red Flame Divine Lamp, although it is wonderful, it needs to be fed flames to make it grow.
So Zhao Yingyun took this god name, and then combined it with the mountain cloud pattern, so a new talisman appeared, and he named it Dongyue Town Divine Rune.
Compared to the magic spell of that town, it is not bad at all.
Someone came to the shop and bought a spell to suppress the spell.
If it is said that it is a magic suppression spell, it mainly lies in the suppression of demons, then this Dongyue Town God Rune is a wonderful use for suppressing everything.
He bought some earth-based seal stones and came back, thinking about how to engrave all the relevant things in his heart on the same seal.
First, the top of the seal is engraved with mountain cloud patterns, and the name of the Emperor Dongyue is engraved at the bottom, and then the town, forbidden, fixed, and sealed mantras are engraved on all sides.
I want to engrave the magic spell again, but there are a lot of magic spells, so I can't engrave it at all.
Finally he thought of another incantation.
"Edict!"
However, because the layout was not very good, this seal was not engraved again.
He decided to look for a better piece of engraving material.
Came to a high-end storefront, he found a kind of brass, the seller introduced what kind of Mianshan brass, Zhao Yingyun felt a relatively strong earth and gold from it.
When I asked the price, a small seal the size of a thumb actually cost thirty spirit stones, and I didn't bargain about the price.
Zhao Yingyun thought about it and bought it.
This one is square, earthy yellow, nothing is engraved, and it is only the size of a thumb.
After he bought it, he carved the mountain cloud pattern, and then engraved the name of the emperor of Dongyin at the bottom. On all sides, the four incantations of the town, the seal, the edict, and the ban were engraved.
After the Dharma seal is engraved, it is a sacrifice, and an unsacrificed practice is just a talisman.
He communicates with Dharma thoughts, visualizing the majestic mountains overlapping with the mountain prints in his palms.
The Dharma mind penetrates, and the Dharma will converge is the first sacrifice.
Because the name of the god he carved is not the name of the god in this world, he does not bring a very strong divine will and law, and he needs to cultivate it himself, and this process of cultivating the magic weapon is also a kind of cultivation.
He found that his Dharma thoughts were constantly condensing and enriching, and the original Dharma thoughts had a little more heavy feeling, and they were more condensed, so that he had not felt the mana of entering the realm for a long time, and at this moment he clearly felt the entry realm.
Since he transferred to the "Tai Void Tribulation Sutra", slowly, he felt that his mana had an unreal feeling, and sometimes he felt like a void in his body, no matter how much aura entered his body, it was just like entering an empty void.
And in the process of refining the Dharma Seal, he felt the truth.
This sense of realism is subtle.
He suddenly had a glimmer of realization in his heart that the "Tai Void Tribulation Sutra" he had cultivated was not a cultivation method without shortcomings, and if he couldn't grasp it, he might be led to some kind of unknowable danger by this method.
If you become nihilistic, if you fall into nothingness, it is possible to be physical or conscious.
By refining this seal, he regarded the seal as his own, and the desire to suppress the Quartet in the dark suppressed the mind, the body and the soul.
When Zhao Yingyun practiced all night, he opened his eyes and rubbed the warm brass seal in his hand, and his heart was happy.
"Let's call it Taiyue Town Divine Seal!"
He held it around his waist like a jade pendant.
In Zhao Yingyun's opinion, this seal helps him to practice, and he uses it more for fighting the Fa.
One night of practice gave him a sense of steadiness.
However, in the morning, someone came to collect the rent, that is, the rent.
The rent fee is 1,200 spirit stones a year.
It will be handed over for a year, which is equivalent to a hundred spirit stones a month, and Zhao Chengyun doesn't know what the prices here are, anyway, everyone is like this.
It's just that he doesn't have 1,200 spirit stones.
Ask the other party if they can wait for a while, and the other party is silent.
Zhao Yingyun asked again if he could pick up the talisman and the talisman seal, and the other party asked Zhao Chengyun about the price of the talisman, and after Zhao Chengyun said it, the other party's eyes changed a little when he looked at it.
He felt that Zhao Yingyun was making random bids and treating himself as a fool.
So he asked, "Do you know how many spirit stones are the best talismans on the market?" ”
"It doesn't matter to me how much others sell." Zhao Yingyun said.
The other party was silent for a while: "If you want to rent next year, you must pay the full rent before the end of this year, otherwise, leave here." ”
The tone is relatively hard, probably because people like Zhao Chengyun who can't afford to pay the rent have seen too much, so they don't have any sympathy, and they are probably not familiar with it at all, and there is no need to sympathize, or maybe Zhao Yingyun's talisman price just now annoyed him.
All in all tough.
Zhao Yingyun scratched his head a little, he really forgot about the rent.
Anyway, it's just a sentence now, it's almost the New Year, I can't go home, and I don't have the money to pay next year's rent, so I can't help it.
However, the Huang's rune paper shop next door to him was paid in full.
Huang Donglai probably knew that he would come to collect it today, so he had already prepared it.
He also heard that Zhao Yingyun didn't have a spirit stone just now, so he couldn't help but come outside, looked at Zhao Yingyun, and thought to himself: "He is from a casual cultivation background, and his spells are strong, this is almost the New Year, and he has no money to pay the rent, so don't rise up to the idea of taking the old road." ”
He felt that his shop was next door to him, and after thinking about it a lot, he actually felt uneasy.
In the past, he thought that Zhao Yingyun was just a young man, and he didn't have much true self, a down-and-out casual cultivator, or a down-and-out family member.
And now, in Huang Donglai's heart, the head of the Negative Cloud Dao next door is a loose cultivator with high spells.
If the loose cultivation is a strong spell, his hands must be bloody, and his old business must be robbery, which makes him a little afraid
He had heard from his brother that a patrol officer from the Joint Patrol Division had been next door several times.
Even the patrolmen were wary of him.
Zhao Yingyun went out, and after taking a turn outside, he went out again and closed the door of the shop.
He just took a short-term job, went to the White Tiger Hall to help people draw talismans, and if he worked hard, he could still earn a thousand spirit stones a month, because it was calculated according to the amount.
Zhao Yingyun didn't expect that he would have to work for others one day.
However, Huang Dong next to him came to see him leave, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart, and he was a little embarrassed, because he was thinking about whether he should tell the patrol guard about his guess about the head of the negative cloud road next door.
