Chapter 206: A Sword Immortal Who Can't Draw Talismans Is Not a Good Sword Immortal
Huang Ying's control of the Shunfeng Flag and the Qiankun bag has become even more like a fish in water.
"The vast world, the eternal world, only I can follow the wind!"
Huang Ying recited the magic in his mouth.
Above the sky, the clouds rolled, and on the Luoxia Mountain, the clouds and mist were shrouded, and the spiritual power of the Quartet condensed around the yellow warbler, converging into a raging hurricane, sweeping the heavens and the earth, and swaying up to 90,000 miles.
"Close!"
Huang Ying gave an order, and the surging hurricane dispersed in an instant, and the world was clear.
"Brother Yang, what do you think?" Huang Ying smiled on her face, waiting for Yang Xiaotian to praise a few words.
Yang Xiaotian didn't disappoint her, gave her a thumbs up, and said, "I want it!"
Huang Ying was going to show him the power of the Qiankun bag again.
Yang Xiaotian looked at the sky and said with a smile: "I still have something to do, so you can slowly comprehend it here." ”
When Huang Ying heard him say this, she nodded and said, "Okay then!"
Yang Xiaotian went down to Luoxia Mountain, and went straight to the Vermilion Bird Street behind the inn, these days he is not only here to teach Huang Kai swordsmanship, but also occasionally wanders around, and has already understood the radius of a hundred miles around here.
Why the street behind the inn is called Suzaku Street, Yang Xiaotian doesn't know, but he knows that this street looks ordinary, but in fact, he doesn't want to be like it seems, there are many shops on this street, and he doesn't know if the owner of the shop is an ordinary person, but the things in some shops are really unusual.
Maybe it's too close to Yunmengzhou, and it's blessed, and there will always be some strange things flowing here.
Yang Xiaotian walked to the door of a shop, but it turned out to be a place that sold paper, pen and ink.
Seeing that Yang Xiaotian was dressed as a scholar in a green shirt, the shopkeeper thought that he was a scholar, so he greeted him with a smile and said, "Guest officer, the small shop sells high-quality paper, and the ink is also high-quality and good-grade ink! In this Zhaoyangzhou, you will definitely not find a second one." ”
This old shopkeeper saw that Yang Xiaotian was not like an ordinary shabby student, but his family background was also strong, so he was quite angry, just to attract a big customer, catch a fish in the water, these years the real reader is getting fewer and fewer, the store has been nearly three months without business, can deceive one is one, not to mention that the things in his store are indeed really high-quality goods, although the price is higher than that of the ancestral continent, Aragami Continent is more than double, but like these rich children who are vassals and elegant, as long as they can do what they like, the money is also very simple.
Yang Xiaotian saw that the shopkeeper's eyes flickered, and he knew that this person must be a cunning person, and he couldn't say that he was still a profiteer, so he seemed absent-minded, and said lazily: "But I don't know what kind of good paper and ink they are?"
The wrinkles on the old shopkeeper's face were all with a flattering smile, "I see that the guest official is very prominent, and he must be the person named on the gold list in the future, and only the paper and ink in my store are worthy of your identity!"
"Really?" Yang Xiaotian seemed to be interested, and said with a smile, "There is some truth in what the shopkeeper said, when I was a child, a fortune teller said that I was the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing, and I will definitely be the minister of the humerus on the Jinluan Palace in the future!"
The old shopkeeper's smile was even more exaggerated, "Childe, look, even the fortune teller says this, once the son becomes famous in the world, he knows that it is just around the corner, and he can't say it, before the next son leaves, he will trouble the son to give a few words to the shop, and the shop can also take advantage of this to celebrate in the coming year, and there is light on his face!"
"If you want to get it, I'm afraid that the shopkeeper will dislike the ugly writing of the late students!" and lose the face of your store!" Yang Xiaotian said with a smile.
The old shopkeeper hurriedly said: "What did the son say, this is absolutely impossible!"
After Yang Xiaotian and he praised each other for a few more words, he said, "But I don't know what famous papers you have in your store?"
The old shopkeeper took Yang Xiaotian's arm, took him and walked in, Yang Xiaotian was dragged by him and could only go inside.
"Say it so that the salary is happy, the small store has just shipped a batch of Chengxintang paper, and people who want to come to learn and get rich like Gongzi must know the preciousness of Chengxintang paper. The old shopkeeper said.
Yang Xiaotian nodded, this old shopkeeper really didn't lie to him, as for the Chengxintang paper, he knew it, it has always been the palace paper, not for ordinary people.
There was once a saint praised this Chengxintang paper, "smooth as spring ice dense as a cocoon", the surface of this paper is smooth, not to mention, the texture is even more fine, used to write and paint, it is a little more spiritual.
Yang Xiaotian said: "The shopkeeper doesn't want to pit me, most of the Chengxintang paper on the market is imitation paper, but I know this, the shopkeeper, you don't want to be shoddy, this can't escape my eyes!"
The old shopkeeper sighed in his heart, he originally planned to sell the imitation paper as Chengxintang paper to the young man in front of him, but he didn't expect to meet someone who understood, but he didn't know if the young man was pretending in front of him.
"Come on, come on....... Childe, you see, this is a landscape painting that I asked the painter in the town to make yesterday, using the Chengxintang paper. The old shopkeeper took out a picture scroll and put it in front of Yang Xiaotian.
Yang Xiaotian only glanced at it twice, and then sneered in his heart, this old man really treats himself as a fish in the water, this is obviously a paper that imitates Chengxintang paper, although it looks like a bit of the charm of Chengxintang paper, but there is a world of difference when you study it carefully, but the painting on the paper is extraordinary.
The painting scroll is a peony, the brush and ink are rich, the brush is delicate, the peony is elegant and not flattering, and the artistic conception of wealth is vividly expressed.
"It seems that I want to meet this painter if I have a chance!" Yang Xiaotian said secretly in his heart.
Seeing that Yang Xiaotian hadn't spoken for a long time, the old shopkeeper felt a little panicked in his heart, and said secretly: Don't be self-defeating!
Sure enough, Yang Xiaotian closed the picture scroll and turned around to walk out of the store.
The old shopkeeper hurriedly stopped him and said urgently: "Childe, why did you leave so quickly!"
Yang Xiaotian snorted coldly, "The shopkeeper is not a sincere person, if he wants to use imitation paper to pit me, I'm not so easy to fool." ”
The shopkeeper didn't pay for it vigorously, and invited Yang Xiaotian in again, but this time he took out the first-grade Chengxintang paper.
After Yang Xiaotian stroked it casually a few times, there was a smile on his face.
The old shopkeeper caught the change in the expression on Yang Xiaotian's face, seeing him like this, he knew that this business had been a little safer, and said with a smile: "Childe, look, how about my paper, it's not an old bragging, I dare to say that you have traveled all over this Zhaoyang Continent, and you can no longer find ordinary quality paper!"
Yang Xiaotian put the paper on the counter and didn't say anything.
"This ......" the old shopkeeper was a little panicked, "What, Childe, are you still not satisfied?"
Yang Xiaotian suddenly said mysteriously: "Old shopkeeper, do you have Liuzhou yellow paper here?"
The old shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "What is the son saying, this store is above board, how can you sell that Liuzhou yellow paper, Childe is not talking nonsense!"
"Really?" Yang Xiaotian smiled faintly, "If the old shopkeeper listens to the people of the Nine Saints Sect, I'm afraid it will bring you a lot of trouble!"
The old shopkeeper was really scared now, and said in a panic: "The old man lost his words for a while, and I hope that the son will not spread the word." ”
Yang Xiaotian nodded with a smile and said, "Don't say it's okay, just wait for the checkout, I hope the shopkeeper can give a discount." ”
"Ah!" the old shopkeeper was stunned, stealing chickens and rice, he didn't think that this young man was a shrewd master, and he couldn't say anything but was put on the table, but the handle fell into his hands, and he had to bow his head under the eaves.
Liuzhou is the yin land, once had the name of "Dragon City", rich in willow wood, between heaven and earth, willow wood is the wood of the yin to the cold, which is even more to Liuzhou wood. And Liuzhou yellow paper is made of Liuzhou wood. Its production process is complicated, extremely exquisite, and it is rumored that Liuzhou yellow paper is obtained by soaking the yellow water melted by soaking the rotten Liuzhou coffin with pulp, which is to take the yin qi of the rotten coffin.
It's just that the method of making it is secret, and it is only mastered by the people of the Nine Holy Sect, and the others know very little. The Liuzhou yellow paper has always been monopolized by the people of the Nine Saints Sect, and there are clear regulations in the world of Jiuzhou, except for the people of the Nine Saints Sect, the rest of the people are not allowed to privately hide or sell Liuzhou yellow paper.
But the more mysterious things are, the more they can arouse the curiosity of the world, so the price of Liuzhou yellow paper has risen, and some businessmen have not taken care of it in order to make huge profits, and secretly colluded with the disciples of the Nine Holy Sect to smuggle Liuzhou yellow paper out for sale.
In the final analysis, this Liuzhou yellow paper is the favorite of the people of the Fu Dao, and the talisman drawn with the Liuzhou yellow paper is full of spiritual power, full of endless yin and cold power, and the effect is much more obvious.
Yang Xiaotian actually passed by this shop a few days ago, and he accidentally saw this shopkeeper and people doing the business of selling Liuzhou yellow paper, so he came here today, nothing more than for Liuzhou yellow paper.
Cui Shusheng copied the book "Danshu Fu", Yang Xiaotian has read it all over, and also drew a few runes in private, but ordinary paper can't carry the spiritual power contained in the runes, every time he is halfway through the painting, the paper has been burned, and finally he thinks of "Danshu Fu" The above-mentioned talisman used Liuzhou yellow paper, and only then began to pay attention to the whereabouts of Liuzhou yellow paper, originally thinking of casually arresting a few disciples of the Nine Holy Sect and forcing him to send it to himself, but who knew that he stumbled upon Liuzhou yellow paper in this shop on Suzaku Street, and only came here to buy it from the shopkeeper.
"Hehe..."Yang Xiaotian smiled.
The old shopkeeper saw that he was smiling maliciously, and he panicked even more.
Yang Xiaotian said: "Old shopkeeper, I won't hide it from you anymore, I have long found out that you have Liuzhou yellow paper hidden here, and I have no intention of taking it by force, you give me a fair price, and I will buy it from you." ”
The old shopkeeper weighed it again and again, and finally had no choice but to agree, but he told Yang Xiaotian not to break what he had done.
Needless to say, Yang Xiaotian readily agreed.
Although this shopkeeper did not dare to slaughter Yang Xiaotian as a fish, the price of Liuzhou yellow paper is indeed expensive, a small one, palm wide, less than a foot long, it costs ten taels of silver, fortunately, Yang Xiaotian still has some family background, or even if he is willing to sell, he may not be able to afford it.
"With yellow paper, how can there be no Zhu Mo!" Yang Xiaotian said with a smile.
The old shopkeeper already knew that the young man in front of him couldn't be fooled, so he would lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot, and obediently took out the best Zhu Mo and let him choose.
Yang Xiaotian finally chose three ingots of cinnabar smoke ink, which was particularly blood-red, and spent another hundred taels of silver.
Before leaving, the old shopkeeper gave him a batch of Chengxintang papers, begging him not to come again, so he almost knelt on the ground and begged.
Yang Xiaotian smiled and agreed, these cinnabar smoke and ink and Liuzhou yellow paper are enough for him to squander, and he will not come again, do you think you have a lot of money, you must know that these things are very expensive.
"Shopkeeper, goodbye!" Yang Xiaotian waved his hand.
Although the shopkeeper had a smile on his face, he was muttering in his heart: The ghost is goodbye to you!
The young man left the shop satisfied, and walked around Suzaku Street again, there were quite a few strange things, but they didn't need it yet, and they would come back when they decided to leave the place one day.
Yang Xiaotian returned to the inn, listened at the door, waved his long sleeves and swept around his body a few times, it seemed that he just slapped the dust rolling off his body, but he didn't know that the formation that was originally placed at the door of the inn had shaken him away.
After entering the inn and saying hello to Li, he returned to his room, and couldn't wait to start studying ink, spreading out the yellow paper, and drawing talismans.
Liuzhou yellow paper is really different from ordinary paper, and there is no longer a situation where the paper is burned halfway through the painting.
The young man had a lot of fun, but from beginning to end, he still couldn't draw a really decent talisman, and he was still a little behind.
Seeing the Liuzhou yellow paper all over the ground, the silver with snowflakes, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the silver, so I packed up the paper and ink, and fell asleep on the table.
"Brother Yang... Brother Yang!"
I don't know how long it took, Yang Xiaotian was woken up by a sound that seemed to be nothing, opened his sleepy eyes, but couldn't see a figure, because he was dreaming, and was about to continue sleeping, but he heard a call.
"Brother Yang..."
This time, the voice was literally outside the door.
Yang Xiaotian got up and opened the door, almost screaming.
Cui Shusheng was standing outside at the moment, but his body was ethereal and misty, and he had no substance.
"Brother Cui, what's going on?"
Yang Xiaotian turned his body sideways and let Cui Shusheng in.
It's only been a few days since I saw him, and Cui Shusheng has become a ghost, how can this not make Yang Xiaotian feel uncomfortable.
Cui Shusheng was good, his expression was not talking, he didn't seem to feel that he was dead at all, and said with a smile: "Brother, can you ask for a glass of wine for your brother!"
Yang Xiaotian hurriedly got him a glass of wine.
Cui Shusheng's soul floated to the cup and took a few sips hard.
Yang Xiaotian felt a little sad when he looked at it inexplicably, the wine in the cup didn't move, and all Cui Shusheng could breathe was the aroma of the wine.
Cui Shusheng seemed to be very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Good wine, good wine!"
"Brother Cui, why did you end up like this?" Yang Xiaotian's expression was gloomy.
Cui Shusheng finally sighed and said: "It's just that my brother doesn't know how to do it, last time I saw the door of the inn give a formation, and I got the benefits of my brother, you know, the children of the rivers and lakes are most afraid of owing favors, so I want to help my brother find out the people in the dark, although I did destroy those people in the end, but I myself became a remnant." ”
Yang Xiaotian was moved, choked up, and said: "Why is Brother Cui like this, how can this brother be at ease!"
Cui Shusheng said: "Brother doesn't have to worry about it, this is my own choice, and I have nothing to do with others." ”
Yang Xiaotian said gloomily: "That's so, but brother, how can I be at ease!"
Cui Shusheng smiled: "Isn't it just that I have something to ask for!"
Yang Xiaotian hurriedly said: "Brother Cui has something unfinished, even if I explain to my brother, even if I take my life, I will definitely do it for Brother Cui!"
Cui Shusheng said: "It's nothing, it's just a little troublesome, for my brother to ask my brother to go to Chongwu Academy for me, just say that I, Cui Huan, have died in Huangquan, so that the elders and brothers don't have to worry, and I want to ask my brother to help me tell them that they don't have to avenge me, just say that the enemy has been killed by my own hands!"
Yang Xiaotian nodded in agreement and said, "I'll leave for Chongwu Academy tomorrow." ”
Cui Yan said: "Don't worry about this matter, I still have the tokens of the academy here, and my brother will also help me bring them back and hand them over to my master, Mr. Mei!"
Yang Xiaotian took a look, but it was a waist card, engraved with "Humble gentleman, humble and self-shepherd"!
After Yang Xiaotian put away the waist card, he asked, "I wonder what Brother Cui plans next?"
Cui Yan still showed a trace of reluctance, and said unwillingly: "This world is becoming more and more turbid, and it has not been able to make it clear before it dies, and it is always a little difficult to settle!"
Yang Xiaotian was a little sad, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Cui Yan suddenly said: "Brother has traveled all over the country, have you heard of that Burning Sky Purgatory?"
When Yang Xiaotian heard this, he was shocked [biquge.xyz] and said, "Brother Cui, don't do it at this time." ”
Cui Yan said gloomily: "There is no other way except for the Burning Sky Purgatory to keep my soul away!"
Yang Xiaotian pondered for a long time, the Burning Sky Purgatory is definitely not going to go, not to mention the danger, even if Cui Yan really survives the ordeal of the Burning Sky Purgatory, he will only become a ghost clan in the end, and he can only act under the orders of the ghost queen, it is better to directly scatter his soul. It's just that Cui Rong's expression is resolute, and he is still worried about this Jiuzhou world, how can he continue to stay in this world.
Cui Yan said: "Brother, you don't have to think about it anymore, I have thought about it countless times before I came to you, and there is no other way than to do this." ”
Yang Xiaotian suddenly said: "That's not necessarily!"
Cui Yan was a little happy, he still didn't go to the Burning Sky Purgatory, "Brother, is there another way?"
Yang Xiaotian said: "Brother Cui knows the underworld!"
Cui Yan nodded, "Yes! ”
"I have some friendship with the ten great lords of the underworld, I can write a letter by hand, let Brother Cui go to the underworld, and get an errand in the underworld, although I also have to obey the orders of the underworld, but this is much better than becoming a ghost clan. ”
Cui Yan thought about it, and finally accepted Yang Xiaotian's suggestion.
Yang Xiaotian saw that he agreed, so he took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter, in which he said: Cui Ji is his brother-in-law, who died due to misfortune, and asked all the Hades Monarchs to arrange an errand for him in the underworld, so that Cui Ji can continue to stay in the world.
