Chapter 53: "Treasure Hunt"

Shen Luo shook his head, put aside the cranky thoughts in his heart for the time being, got up and came to the door to ask for a meal.

After a while, the little third son walked in with a tray and a meal of two meat and two vegetables on it.

Shen Luo was already hungry, so he immediately feasted and quickly swept away the food.

The little third son waited for Shen Luo to finish eating, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Shen Luo:

"Wait, little brother, are you a native of Songfan County, are you familiar with the situation in the city?"

"The villain is a person from the nearby Xu family, but I often go to the city to buy, and I am quite familiar with the situation in the city, Childe, do you have something to order?" asked the little third son respectfully.

"Then do you know where you can buy yellow rune paper and cinnabar in the county?" Shen Luo asked.

"Yellow rune paper and cinnabar? Xiao Sanzi thought about it and said.

"These two things are not commonly used on weekdays, but are they really available in the store?" asked Shen Luo with some disbelief.

"Coincidentally, my shopkeeper invited a mage to come to the store last month to open an altar to pray for blessings and fortunes, and there are a lot of rune paper dansha left, all piled up in the backyard, if the son needs it, I will help you ask the shopkeeper for some?"

"That's a bother for you. Shen Luo said, taking out a small piece of broken silver and rewarding it to the other party.

"Thank you, Childe, in addition to the rune paper dansha, do you need anything else? "The third son is very happy, this small piece of silver has two or three taels, which is worth three or four months' wages.

"Don't you say that I almost forgot, can you find some fresh black dog blood for me, and a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Well, tung oil, get me some more tung oil. Shen Luo said after a deep groan.

"There is a slaughterhouse in the town, it is easy to get blood, there is tung oil sold in the nearby grocery store, and there are ready-made ones in the pen, ink, paper and inkstone store, wait a minute, I will help you get it." The little third son said and left with a smoke.

Half an hour later, he ran back, holding another tray with something sunken on it.

Shen Luo checked it, and after confirming that it was correct, he waved off the little third son, and immediately began to try to draw the small thunder talisman with the ability of "treasure hunting".

He picked up the pen and filled it with ink, but instead of immediately starting to draw it, he groaned with a deep face.

Although he has mastered the drawing method of the small thunder talisman, but the small thunder talisman that found the jade pillow was drawn in a daze, and now it is not easy to make another one.

He tried his best to recall the situation when he drew the treasure hunting little thunder talisman, but many days had passed, and many things had happened one after another during this period.

Shen Luo recalled these three or four percent of his memories several times, and still put down his pen and began to try.

Except for the part he remembers, he also tries his best to imitate the previous way of painting in other places.

......

I don't know how long later, there was a thick stack of "small thunder talismans" on the table in front of Shen Luo.

"So many, it should be about the same, there should always be one that can have an effect. Shen Luo muttered.

He then began to soak the treasure hunting talismans in tung oil, and the talismans were quickly soaked in tung oil.

Shen Luo fished out the talismans one by one, wiped the oil stains on the surface, and carefully dried them with a lamp flame to make pieces of oiled paper talismans.

He threw one of the oil talismans into a basin full of clear water, and the oil talisman did not get wet and softened, and the runes on it were bright red.

Tomorrow I want to go to the river to hunt for treasure, in order to prevent the talisman from being destroyed by water, Shen Luo thought of this method.

When he was at home, he once saw the family using tung oil to make waterproof oiled paper, so he drew a scoop according to the gourd, and he didn't think that this method was really effective.

He took out the three small thunder talismans on his body and dealt with them in the same way.

After doing this, Shen Luo was extremely tired, and he fell asleep when he turned his head.

When I woke up, it was already bright outside, and the sunlight was shining into the room through the window, as if gold threads had been cut.

Shen Luo got up and pushed open the window, the sky was blue, as quiet as a mirror, occasionally dotted with a few fine and white clouds, obviously today would be a good day.

He quickly finished washing, but did not immediately go on the road, but took the pen and ink and wrote a letter at the desk.

Some time ago, he received a letter from home in Chunqiuguan, but recently, he has been troubled by various things and forgot to write a reply.

When my father saw the letter, he said:

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the child saw that everything was fine, his cultivation was quite smooth, his physique improved greatly, and he was no longer as weak as before.

I don't know how the situation at home is?Erniang, second brother, and little sister are doing well?

The last time my father mentioned in his letter that the plague in the area of Niuyue Town in the west of the city was a disease of lung fever, the child carefully scrutinized it in the past few days, combined with the ancient lotus Qingwen soup, and pondered a recipe, with lotus, ephedra, almonds, patchouli, rhodiola, peppermint, licorice seven things into the medicine, when there is a relieving effect, the specific dosage will be written at the end of the letter later.

Shen Luo immediately wrote some things about his views in the Spring and Autumn Period, without mentioning his current illness at all, so as not to worry his family.

At this point, he stopped his pen and wrote down the recipe for "Lotus Qingwen Soup" in detail, dried the ink, and put the letter away.

Shen Luo was eager to hunt for treasures, and after doing this, he got up and came to the inn lobby.

"Shen Gongzi, are you going to set off on the road so early?" The shopkeeper surnamed Hou saw Shen Luo coming with a burden on his back, and immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

"Shopkeeper Hou, this is yesterday's room money, as well as Dr. Liu's consultation fee, I was in a hurry yesterday, I forgot about it, and asked the shopkeeper to transfer it for me. Shen Luo said, taking out two pieces of broken silver and putting them on the counter.

"It's just for one night, how can you use so much. The shopkeeper surnamed Hou waved his hand again and again.

"Yesterday, I was sick, and thanks to the help of the shopkeeper, I was able to turn the crisis into safety in time. Shen Luo arched his hand, and without waiting for the shopkeeper surnamed Hou to say anything, he walked quickly outside.

The shopkeeper surnamed Hou raised his hand, as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw Shen Luo's slightly anxious face, he swallowed the words back.

Outside the inn, the little third son had already led the horse over, Shen Luo turned over on the horse, and urged the horse to leave quickly.
