Chapter 42: The Rune Courtyard Errand (4k, 2-in-1)
The Yin God flew into the courtyard with the crow, Xu Dao was not in a hurry to hand over the task, he was going to get acquainted with the Ink Pattern Daoist first, and then hand over the task.
This may temporarily suppress the news that the hill below is dead.
Because the caves of the Taoists are hidden, and people who are not close to them have no way of knowing, if Xu Dao wants to see the Mowen Taoists, he can only hand the note in the dormitory first, and the miscellaneous servants are responsible for reporting.
If other people want to contact Xu Dao, the same is the way. However, if the Taoists agreed on private contact methods such as flying crow transmission and ghost delivery, it would not be necessary.
Xu Dao wandered in the dormitory, waiting for news from the Ink Pattern Daoist.
He was prepared and knew that if he was unlucky, he might run into someone who happened to be in retreat, and it would be difficult to get in touch for a year and a half.
But five or six days later, Xu Dao was about to lose patience, and he wondered in his heart whether to give up this path.
Fortunately, the ten days of kung fu are short-lived for Taoists, and the impact is not great.
Suddenly, one day, Xu Dao came to the dormitory again, and after he called the dormitory miscellaneous servants, the other party hurriedly took out a piece of strip and handed it to him respectfully.
Xu Dao held this, his face showed joy, and he smiled: "Good." ”
This article was left by the Ink Pattern Daoist, and the content written on it was that the other party agreed to meet him in the Fu Courtyard tonight.
Fu Yuan, one of the five courtyards of the White Bone Temple, is the place where the charms, money, formations and other things are produced in the view, such as the Liao Yuan also occupies a building in the view, and the large and small affairs are taken care of by the Taoist disciples who are good at arranging the array and drawing runes in the view.
However, if you want to enter the Fu Academy to do things, there are also conditions, first of all, you have to have someone in the view, you can be appreciated, and secondly, you have to have some potential in drawing the Fu Academy, and you can be competent for the errand of the Fu Academy.
Among them, the relationship is the most important, and the latter is secondary.
Once you enter the Fu Yuan as an errand boy, not only will you have a lot of money, but you can also fill your own pockets, use the errands of the Fu Yuan to loot and accumulate money, and the talented and intelligent people among them may also be looked at by the master of the house and taken for their own use.
And the master of the Fu Academy is one of the nine Taoist priests in the view, and the Taoist of the foundation building realm, if he is favored by such a character, he must have a broad future and a bright path.
It is said that Xu Dao's drawing qualifications are mediocre, but he has no characters, which can accelerate the condensation of runes, as long as he condenses the corresponding runes, when he draws the corresponding runes, he is naturally far beyond ordinary people, and can be compared with the genius of runes.
Therefore, he also had the idea of entering the Fu Academy as an errand boy, but he had just entered the Qi Refining Realm, and there was no one above, so he had not been there yet.
Now that the Ink Pattern Daoist is willing to see him, Xu Dao's mind is naturally alive.
He said to himself, "Why bother at night, go to the courtyard and wait now." He immediately walked out of the dormitory.
When he was about to fly to the Fu Courtyard, Xu Dao thought for a while, and he first turned back to his cave mansion.
Although the communication between Taoists is mostly in the form of yin gods and yin beasts, it is not that they do not use the physical body, and the physical body is used to visit the door, and there is also the meaning of showing respect.
Xu Dao wants to get to know each other in the name of "repaying gratitude", so naturally he has to work the surface. He prepared in the cave mansion, then walked out of the cave with his physical body and rushed to the Fu courtyard in person.
Walking into the White Bone Guan Fu Courtyard, Xu Dao was guided by the handyman servant, and after a while, he came to an elegant building.
The handyman explained: "Master Mowen said that there would be a guest tonight, but I didn't know that you would come during the day. The master has not yet arrived, so I can only let you wait here for a while. ”
Xu Dao nodded in response, said "I know", and let the other party leave, while he sat cross-legged on top of a futon in the room and meditated on himself.
Although he was meditating, Xu Dao did not enter the state of cultivation. This place is not his cave mansion, it is better to be vigilant one or two.
And Xu Dao was surprised to find that there was a faint aura in the room, although it was not much, but it was indeed a genuine aura. If he cultivates and swallows out the aura in the room, he will inevitably take advantage of it too much, and it is easy for people to underestimate him.
Xu Dao looked around and found that there were banners hanging on the four walls of the hall, among which there were seal calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings, flowers, birds, fish and insects, as well as formation runes, all of which were very chic, and there were flashes of spiritual light, which seemed to be more than just for decoration.
Xu Dao narrowed his eyes slightly, and he didn't know whether he was closing his eyes to recuperate, or watching calligraphy and painting.
At some point, there was a knock on the door and a person appeared in the room.
This person has thorns on his face, and his head, neck, hands and feet all have tadpole-like rune marks, and he came barefoot, which is somewhat inconsistent with the elegant layout of the house.
But this person is the Mowen Taoist that Xu Dao wants to visit, one of the eighteen heads in the view.
Xu Dao noticed that the other party appeared, and immediately stood up, saluted the other party, and shouted: "I have seen the Ink Pattern Daoist." ”
The other party walked in with a flat face, glanced at Xu Dao, and said with a little surprise: "It's really you." Dao Tong, who was only a child half a year ago, has really stepped into Qi refining now, and it seems that he is not shallow!"
Xu Dao immediately said respectfully: "I would like to thank the predecessors of Mowen for the red cloud pine resin that day." ”
"The younger generation got the pine resin, and drew the talisman with this object, because the talisman ink was good, and finally made the Yuehua Tuna charm after several experiments...... With this summing up the experience of the talisman, I realized the mystery of the Taiyin Yuehua Tuna Method, successfully condensed the talisman, and entered the refining qi. ”
When the Ink Pattern Daoist heard Xu Dao's words, his face softened a lot, and he chuckled and said: "Draw the talisman first, and then form the talisman seed, this method is advisable! But if you can do this and successfully enter the Dao with the talisman, it seems that your talent in the talisman is good." ”
Xu Dao is naturally deceiving the other party, but he has no characters, and he learns spells and talismans very quickly, and he is not vain in admitting his talisman talent.
So he smiled and said, "The younger generation came today to thank you for the gift of ink that day." ”
The Mowen Taoist waved his hand and said casually: "It was just a deal that day, and you also paid the Fu money, and the money and goods were both paid and paid." ”
Having said that, this person sold the spiritual materials to Xu Dao at a low price that day, and also helped Xu Dao to relieve him, which can be regarded as a favor.
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and the Ink Pattern Daoist was grateful to him, and drank with a smile: "Don't say more! ”
This person saw that Xu Dao came to thank him, and observed that Xu Dao's temperament was subtle and his aura was also rich, and he secretly judged that Xu Dao's talent was not bad, and he also had the intention of making friends in his heart.
And even if Xu Dao is just an ordinary Taoist, it is a good thing that he can get the attachment of a new Taoist.
It must be known that the number of new Taoists in the White Bone Temple every year is only ten fingers, and if you make more friends, you can make fewer enemies.
And the Taoists have the saying of "wealth and husbandry", in which "couple" refers to the same way of friends, the more friends, the wider the way.
Seeing that the other party also had the intention of making friends, Xu Dao was overjoyed. He said a few words of warmth to the other party, said a few words of admiration, and called the other party "Brother Mo" in words.
The Mowen Taoist disciples also called Xu Dao a "Taoist friend" and treated Xu Dao as a friend.
The two talked happily, and after Xu Dao saw that the time was about the same, he didn't hide it.
He suddenly bowed to the Ink Pattern Daoist and said:
"Brother Mo, I don't know what to do when I'm worried about it, and I hope Brother Mo can give me some guidance!"
When the ink-patterned Taoist disciple heard this, he bowed his head and said, "Fellow Daoists, please speak." ”
Xu Dao immediately said: "After breaking through to Qi refining, I first practiced in retreat for half a year, and even delayed visiting my brother, and then I had to fulfill the obligation of Guanzhong, so I took over a mission. ”
Carefully, Xu Dao told the story of "Gu Won Bird", he concealed the key information, only told the situation nine truths and one falsehood, and said that he was the only one of the three people who lived.
When the Ink Pattern Daoist heard this, his eyes were slightly surprised, but he was not too shocked.
In Mo Wen's view, the Daoists in the early stage of Qi refining are more likely to die than the old Daoists who have accumulated years because they have not learned spells and have few means.
This is also a reason why he is willing to associate with Xu Dao.
Xu Dao's temperament is sharp, obviously he has fought with strong opponents, and he returned victorious, so he will have a mysterious temperament, without the childishness of a new Taoist.
It's just that he saw Xu Dao and the three of them go down the mountain to do a mission, and it is rare that three Daoists can actually kill two.
The Ink Pattern Daoist became interested, and when he heard that the demon had a demonic aura on it, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Xu Dao talked about business, saying that the "trough" in the view was Fang Xiaoshan's uncle, and he was worried that the other party would retaliate against him.
The Ink Pattern Daoist thought for a moment and said:
"I know the person 'Trough Head', whose name is 'Fang Guanhai', who is on an errand in the animal courtyard, and has a three-legged ghost fire crow as a Yin Beast, and his strength should not be underestimated. ”
He also said: "You are worried about it well, Fang Guanhai has a gloomy temperament, and he will repay it." Since his nephew is dead and you are alone, he will surely be angry with you, or even ask you directly. ”
The Ink Pattern Daoist was still staring at Xu Dao, with a playful look in his eyes, obviously not believing that Fang Xiaoshan had just died at the hands of the demon.
Xu Dao didn't avoid the other party's eyes, he looked at it calmly, then bowed for a long time, and said to the Ink Pattern Daoist: "Dare to ask Brother Mo, what can I do about it?"
When the Ink Pattern Daoist heard this, he groaned silently.
At this time, Xu Dao untied a bag on his waist, respectfully pushed it to the other party, and said, "This bag was given by Brother Mo with fox blood that day, and it was returned to Brother Mo today." ”
The Ink Pattern Daoist didn't make a sound, he touched the bag, a ghostly light flashed on his fingers, and his eyes suddenly opened, and his mouth whispered: "This is?"
Xu Dao introduced in a timely manner: "Gu has a bird's body with evil qi, and its flesh and blood are stained by evil qi, but the evil qi in the blood is the strongest, and Brother Mo may be used to draw charms......"
Before Xu Dao finished speaking, Mo Wen heard it, his face was slightly moved, he immediately picked up the bag, opened the mouth to take a look, and blurted out: "It's really evil!"
The ink pattern was recognized, his eyebrows were raised, and he said: "It's the son and mother!"
Xu Dao lowered his eyes and arched his hand back: "Exactly." ”
When the Ink Pattern Daoist heard this, he smiled and said, "No wonder you don't know who Fang Guanhai is, so you are worried that the other party will retaliate against you." ”
Xu Dao just bowed his head and said nothing. The innate infant qi had been refined by him, and Xu Dao was not afraid of being known by others.
It's just that as soon as others know, most of the other party will guess that the three of them have a dispute over treasures, which leads to two deaths and one life.
And Xu Dao survived, so naturally it is very likely that he is the culprit!
Seeing that Xu Dao didn't speak, the Ink Pattern Daoist weighed the bag in his hand, and suddenly smiled and said: "This thing is bloody, it is suitable for me to practice the secret method, and it has a miraculous effect on me, so I am not welcome." ”
When Xu Dao heard this, he was immediately happy in his heart. Since the other party is willing to accept his things, it is natural that he is willing to give him advice or shelter him.
Sure enough, as Xu Dao expected, the ink pattern Taoist thought a little, and with a casual move, he took a sign and put it in front of Xu Dao.
Mowen pointed to the sign and said, "This is a talisman card, which is used on errands in the rune courtyard." Since you are quite talented in the runes, you naturally want to work in the runes, and with this rune, you don't need to go to the squatter to take over the tasks in the future. ”
When Xu Dao heard this, he was even happier in his heart. The other party is going to push him into the rune courtyard, to be an errand in the rune courtyard, and to see that it means to take care of him.
Xu Dao hurriedly accepted the talisman and thanked him.
The Ink Pattern Daoist spoke up again: "After accepting you into the Fu Academy, unless you are voluntary, no one can let you go out to do the task, which will also be able to avoid Fang Guanhai's plot." ”
There are rules in the White Bone Temple, and it is strictly forbidden for Taoist disciples to fight in the temple, and there is no need to go down the mountain, as long as Xu Dao is more cautious, Fang Guanhai will have no way to start.
"But you're unlucky, at least one year, at most two years, and then the Taoists will all go down the mountain, so you can only rely on your own attention. ”
Xu Dao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he asked: "Dare to ask Brother Mo what is the big deal, even the Taoist disciples have to go down the mountain?"
When the Ink Pattern Daoist heard this, he just smiled and said nothing.
Seeing Xu Dao thinking hard, he glanced at the bag full of demon blood, and said: "If you want to be prepared, learn more to refine talisman money, and if you can do it then, you may be able to get a good job." ”
Having said that, in front of Xu Dao, the Ink Pattern Daoist directly summoned a handyman and asked him to attach Xu Dao's identity to the Fu Courtyard.
Finally, the Ink Pattern Daoist waved his hand and said, "Okay." From now on, you can just come to the Fu Courtyard to mess around. ”
Seeing the other party sending off the guest, Xu Dao also stood up and thanked a few words, and respectfully said goodbye and left.
When he walked out of the Fu Courtyard, Xu Dao touched the talisman in his sleeve, combed through the conversation just now, and suddenly exhaled.
The relationship between the Ink Pattern Daoist can be regarded as embraced, and with the other party's care, Xu Dao does not have to worry about Fang Xiaoshan's uncle being embarrassed by him for the time being, but the period is only two years at most.
Xu Dao secretly pondered in his heart: "The White Bone Temple's control over the Taoists is not strict, but it can also directly drive all the Taoists, but what is the big thing that requires the Taoists of the whole view...... You still have to prepare early. ”
But after thinking about it, he found that all he could do was to practice well, practice more spells, and improve his strength.
So Xu Dao suppressed these thoughts, he looked at the direction where the dormitory was located, smiled and said, "It's time to hand over the task and receive the Dao Gong." ”
Gu won the bird is worth thirty merits, and each was originally divided into ten merits, but now that Fang Yu and the two of them have died, all the thirty merits should be obtained by Xu Dao.
This was also a gain, and he immediately strode towards the dormitory......
