Chapter 216: The Distinction of Runes
Could it be that Shen Gongzi doesn't know the difference between this rune paper?"
"This is really not clear, please give the shopkeeper some advice. Shen Luo said.
"Then we'll be ugly...... There are high and low levels of this talisman, and the same is true for talisman paper. Among them, the commonly visible yellow rune paper, that is, the yellow table paper, is the most common and the most inferior. The shopkeeper laughed twice and said.
"I know this very well, the mana and heaven and earth aura that can be withstood on the yellow rune paper are limited, so only low-level runes can be drawn, if you forcibly draw high-level runes, the rune paper will not be able to withstand it and burn on its own. But what's the difference between the green frost paper?" Although Shen Luo knew that the green frost paper was better than the yellow rune paper, he didn't know where the advantage was.
"I don't know if Shen Daoyou has ever heard of the term 'green words and green chapters'?" asked the shopkeeper rhetorically.
"Naturally, I have heard that the green words and green chapters refer to the blessings of the Taoist chapters dedicated to the heavens when they hold the Jiao Festival. The shopkeeper asked what this is for?" Shen Luo nodded and said.
"This green frost paper also has another name, which is called green word paper. The shopkeeper stroked his beard and smiled.
"So, this green word paper is the rune paper used to write blessings?" Shen Luo said suddenly.
"Yes, at the beginning of the production of this kind of rune paper, it was originally used to write green words and green chapters, and to use the above tables to listen to and communicate with heaven and earth. It's just that because a spiritual material called prayer incense is mixed into the production, it is easy to draw talismans on this paper, which is easy to attract the aura of heaven and earth, and the probability of becoming a talisman is naturally higher. The shopkeeper said.
"What do you say about the Purple Cloud Rune Paper?" Shen Luo asked.
"The reason why this kind of rune paper is named 'Purple Cloud' is because the main material for its production is a spiritual material called Purple Spirit Grass, which grows in a harsh environment and is very scarce. However, this grass is good at absorbing spiritual and hidden qi, and after being made into rune paper, it also retains this characteristic, and it can withstand more power than Qingzi rune paper, so it is often used to draw high-level runes. The shopkeeper said.
"Taught. I don't know how to sell these two kinds of rune paper?" Shen Luo immediately asked.
"Qingzi paper is not too expensive, one immortal jade can buy ten pieces, and if you change it to Ziyun paper, you can only buy one. The shopkeeper stroked the beard on his lips and said.
"You can only use immortal jade, can't you use gold and silver?" Shen Luo frowned and couldn't help but ask.
"Shen Gongzi, these two things are different from ordinary spiritual materials, and they can only be purchased with immortal jade. The shopkeeper shook his head and said.
Shen Luo naturally didn't have immortal jade at the moment, and of course he couldn't borrow it from Bai Xiaotian, so if he wanted to try to draw several other high-level talismans, he could only put it on hold for now.
"At the moment, the talisman I can draw is enough to use yellow rune paper, and this kind of high-grade rune paper is a bit tyrannical. Shen Luo's expression remained unchanged and said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. These runes are here, and they can't grow wings and fly away. When Shen Daoyou learns the essence of the talisman as soon as possible and can draw a high-level talisman, it is not too late to come to us to buy it. The shopkeeper quietly withdrew the wooden box and said with a smile.
After that, Shen Luo deliberately looked at some spiritual materials, and found that there was only one such thing as "lightning strike wood", which was suitable for refining the Pure Yang Fu Sword, but unfortunately it also needed to be purchased by immortal jade, so he could only give up.
After Bai Xiaotian paid for him to buy the floating shadow jade and other things, the two left the Record Treasure Hall.
"Where did you get this fairy jade?" Shen Luo asked on the way back.
"Immortal jade is different from gold and silver, and ordinary people can't touch it. However, sometimes when the family accepts the request to subdue the demon, the other party will also use the fairy jade as a reward, as for other places, go to a sect to worship, maybe you can get it. Bai Xiaotian said.
"The shopkeeper said before, they also bought the drawn talismans, but I don't know if they can use immortal jade to settle it?" Shen Luo rubbed his chin and asked again.
"What do you think, don't dream! Unless it's a high-level rune, it's possible, right? Ordinary low-level runes can only be settled in gold and silver, and they have to be offensive runes to be worth some money. Bai Xiaotian glanced at Shen Luo, and immediately poured a basin of cold water down.
Shen Luo smiled, thinking in his heart that the level of the Falling Thunder Talisman and the Flying Talisman was not low, if he could really take it out and sell it, he would definitely be able to settle it with the fairy jade, but it was a pity that he didn't have any money left now to buy the rune paper and materials needed to draw the talisman.
The two chatted with each other, and the carriage passed the Zhenhuai Bridge again.
Shen Luo opened a corner of the car curtain and looked outside, and saw that the people watching the excitement on the bridge had dispersed, and the corpse on the shore of the backyard of the Plumbing Pavilion seemed to have been taken away by his family.
He slowly withdrew his gaze, and was about to put down the sedan curtain in his hand, when he suddenly felt shocked.
Because he saw that on the back of the river beast at the head of the bridge, there was a rather familiar flower pattern.
"Flower ...... on the Other Side"
Shen Luo said secretly in his heart, and when he wanted to see it clearly, the carriage had already crossed the bridge and turned away to the street on the right.
"What's wrong?" Bai Xiaotian asked when he saw that his expression was different.
"It's nothing, it's just that the appearance of that Zhenhe water beast is a little strange, so I looked at it twice. Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, but still didn't tell the truth.
"That thing has been around for some years, and there are a lot of them along the river in Jianye City. It is said that when the city was first built, the Qinhuai River had two floods and flooded half of the city. Later, after the Yin and Yang Immortal Master inspected, it was said that the water veins were too strong and the evil qi was rampant, so the government ordered to build a lot of water beasts in the town and river to suppress the water veins. Don't say it, since then, the Qinhuai River has really been honest, and there has never been a major flood. Bai Xiaotian did not doubt that he had him, and explained to Shen Luo.
"In this way, that immortal master is also a real master. Shen Luo said thoughtfully.
After the carriage traveled for a while, Shen Luo suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "Do you know about the Spring and Autumn Temple, how is the investigation?"
"There's not much progress yet. After his father passed the book to several immortal cultivators such as the weak water gate, he immediately sent people to step up the investigation there, but when he arrived, he found that the entire Spring and Autumn Temple had been burned, and all traces had been wiped out, and nothing could be found. Bai Xiaotian sighed and said.
"Gu Hualing and Wang Qingsong, have you investigated the news of these two people?" Shen Luo frowned.
"Wang Qingsong started very early, and he rarely intersected with outsiders, and the only people who knew his details were probably Master Luo, Fengyang Zhenren and Shi Shuzu, but unfortunately they were all unknown in life and death, so they broke the clues. As for the ancient spirit, it was also brought into the mountain gate by Wang Qingsong, no matter whether the identity was fraudulent at that time, it is impossible to find out now. Bai Xiaotian thought for a moment and said.
"So, so many disciples of the Spring and Autumn Observatory died in vain?" Shen Luo said with a slightly cold face.
