Immediately afterwards, Shen Yun sadly saw that the big black hole left by the big banyan tree was actually on the opposite side of the river bay!

Isn't that sending me back to where I was?

Looking across the river, he smiled bitterly.

At this moment, there was a slight "click" in the dense forest on the right. It was as if a small branch had been trampled off.

Someone's strange noise reminded Shen Yun. He hurriedly gathered his mind and used the "Cloud Piercing Step" to run wildly along the river in the direction of the East City Gate - he didn't dare to hit a silver needle in the direction where the sound came from. I think that the person who dares to rob outside the monk's place city, even if he is not a monk, is a powerful character who thinks he can deal with two or three monks. And such an existence is not something that he can fight back at the moment. Therefore, he only wanted to leave safely with the talisman paper, and did not want to make any extraneous branches.

"Phew!"

In the dense forest, a bearded man tore off the black scarf that covered his face, stared at his figure running away with bloodshot eyes, spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, and cursed in a low voice: "Little rabbit cub, a handful of rune paper should also be held by Wanguan family wealth." It's really rare for you to be a dragon master, and your broken rune paper is ha. ”

Cut. Next to him, a colleague who was also covering his face with a black scarf snorted disdainfully: "If you move around, you won't even be able to break the rune paper." ”

"How did I know there was a twig hidden in the grass. The beard wrinkled his eyebrows dissatisfiedly, "The little rabbit's ears are too good." ”

"Okay, let's not say a word. A big man in front turned around and gave a slap in the eye, "There are still a few hours before Fang City closes, and there will only be more ideas in the back." ”

Immediately, the dense forest fell silent again.

Shen Yun ran out of the river bay area in a hurry, and saw a few lines of thatched roofs in the green trees in front of him from a distance, and made sure that no one was catching up behind him, so he jogged a few steps and finally stopped.

The first thing I did was to reach for the talisman and the talisman in my arms. After making sure that they were all there and had not been lost, he relaxed all over, holding the talisman paper in both hands, hunched over, and gasped for breath.

After resting, he saw that there were still a lot of lotus leaves left on the river not far away, so he walked over, picked some, and wrapped them in two and a half pieces of rune paper.

When he was done, he continued his journey up the river.

If he remembered correctly, if he walked the road again, there would be a simple wooden bridge over the river in front of him. After crossing the river on the bridge, walk two or three miles, and it is the East City Gate.

After walking a mile, I saw the wooden bridge. Cross the river on the bridge and continue walking. Soon, he saw the East City Gate.

At this time, the gates of the city had not yet been opened. However, there were already many people waiting in the open space outside the city gate.

Shen Yun blended into the crowd silently, and like the people around him, he squatted on the ground and waited.

After more than half an hour, the gates opened.

After Shen Yun entered the city, he first ordered a big bowl of hot noodle soup in the noodle restaurant closest to the city gate, fed his stomach, and then returned to the inn and fell asleep.

He slept until noon, when he finally made up for his sleep. Only then did I get up and check the rune paper, rune pen and pass charm that I had brought back.

That's right, the rune paper is exactly the same as the knife at hand. The difference is that the latter is much cheaper. Twenty taels of silver for a knife of talisman paper, there is no such low price in Shiqiaofang City. I don't know where the owner got it. In addition, the shopkeeper was sure that he would never be able to get the same goods again, and he was very suspicious of the origin of the knife rune paper - could it be a thief?

Then I thought about it: The shopkeeper was an ordinary mortal who had no kung fu to accompany him, how could he succeed in front of the monks? Nine times out of ten, it was an accident. Moreover, the shopkeeper did not know the true value of the knife rune paper. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sold it to him for almost half the price.

As for the rune pen, it is in accordance with the description in the book. The passphrase is not fake.

After Shen Yun put them away properly, he went downstairs to the hall for lunch. There was not much money on him, so he stayed for another night, and the next morning, he checked out and paid the bill.

I also bought five catties of steamed buns to make dry food, walked on the road for a day and a night, and returned to Yuxi Town safely at noon the next day.

Shiqiaofang City was an accidental discovery by Shen Yun. For him, it was a complete opportunity. It was as if a whole new door had opened in front of him. There, he not only bought the paper and pen he needed to learn to draw talismans, but also saw things that he could not have imagined before. For example, spiritual rice wine, spiritual rice, as well as various spiritual grasses, ritual instruments, and exercise books for cultivation.

Seeing that the lease of the small yard is about to expire. Shen Yun went to Yaxing for another half a year. Because he also wants to go to Shiqiaofang City a few more times, one is to gain knowledge, and the other is to exchange for some things he needs.

The rune paper can be regarded as having a stable supply, one hundred taels of silver for a knife, although it is very expensive, but Shen Yun has a big treasure in his hand, and it is nothing. After two days of adjustment, and after feeling almost recovered, he began to practice the runes on pen and paper with a tryan pen.

The first step in the practice is to prepare cinnabar with rooster blood.

According to what is written in the book, Shen Yun bought a healthy adult rooster from the market two days in advance and fed it with centipedes and scorpions caught in advance for two days and two nights. At noon on the third day, they slaughtered the chicken, took its blood, and put it in the cinnabar that had been ground into fine powder.

The cinnabar used to draw talismans cannot be stained with any debris, even if it is water. Therefore, Shen Yun specially bought new dishes and chopsticks, boiled them in boiling water in advance, and dried them.

Use chopsticks to draw circles in the same direction and stir quickly until the cinnabar in the bowl is as viscous as thick as thick ink, then it is called ready, and you can use it to draw symbols.

In comparison, pharmaceuticals do not know how many times more complicated. Yes, Shen Yun felt that there was no difficulty at all, and he smoothly got a bowl of cinnabar ink.

Although the space of the treasure bag is not as large as a corner of the red lacquer box, in addition to being easier to carry around, it has the advantage that it will stay fresh for a much longer time. For example, the chicken, sheep, pig, and other meat that Master ate during his lifetime have been in it for many years, and now they are as fresh as the ones he has killed.

The book says that the adjusted cinnabar ink will solidify in less than half a day. Once solidified, cinnabar ink loses its effectiveness and can no longer be used.

Shen Yun only scooped a small bowl out for immediate use, and tried to put the rest into the treasure bag.

Next, he began to try to practice runes.

The rune looks no different from a normal brush. Even, the style of the talisman pen in Shen Yun's hand is simple, and its appearance is far inferior to some so-called famous pens.

However, it is many times more difficult to write runes with a rune pen than it is to write words. Because it is necessary to continue to be guided by a stable true qi.

To put it bluntly, while writing runes, you have to inject a trace of true qi into the rune pen through the palm of your hand. Moreover, this trace of true qi should be continuous, stable and moderately sized.

Previously, when Shen Yun used the sand table to practice runes, he tried to use true qi as a guide from the beginning. So, he thought it wouldn't be difficult to do that.

However, as soon as I got started, I realized that writing runes on rune paper was at least ten times more difficult than writing runes in the sand table!

Strange thing! Obviously the rune paper is much smoother.

Shen Yun tried to write a few strokes, and finally discovered that the reason for the difficulty was cinnabar ink.

No wonder the book says that the quality of cinnabar ink is extremely important to the drawing symbols.

The quality of cinnabar ink lies in three points: one is rooster blood, the second is cinnabar, and the third is the blending technique.

As a result, Shen Yun's temperament of pondering in case of trouble was committed again. Next, he practiced the runes and tried and tested how to make a better cinnabar ink.

In addition to switching to better cinnabar, he tried to improve the quality of the rooster's blood. For example, use older roosters, and after you buy them, feed them centipedes and scorpions for a little longer.

In addition, when mixing, he tries to do it as quickly and as smoothly as possible.

After such repeated attempts, after nearly a month, the quality of the cinnabar ink he blended has improved significantly. At the same time, I have also accumulated a lot of blending tips and experience.

For example, an adult rooster is not determined by the length of its age, but by whether it is fierce and aggressive. Where did the domestic chickens beat the pheasants? He tried to switch to male pheasants caught from the forest. The results showed that the cinnabar ink made from the blood of the latter was of better quality and much more enjoyable to write.

The longer the feeding time is not the better, but seven days is the best. After more than seven days, the state of the wild rooster began to decline, which in turn affected the blood quality.
