"This old man Tang, he has taken a lot of good things from me over the years, and Lao Tzu also gave his granddaughter a disaster and a bad luck year, and as a result, he made him do something like a lion's mouth, which is really ......"

In Qi Donglai's thoughts, Zhuang You looked at the things on the stone table, Qi Donglai asked him to see it himself, and he couldn't wait to rush to the stone table.

Looking up is a quaint pen, at a glance you know that it is Mr. Tang's work, don't ask why, because it is the best word that can be thought of to describe it with quaint. The corners of Zhuang You's mouth twitched, and the barrel of this pen was like a broken branch from a dead tree, mottled and rough, yellow and black, but fortunately it was quite smooth. The pitch-black pen bucket is no different from an ordinary brush, but the tip of the pen is actually turquoise, and the tip of the pen gradually turns snow-white. There was a pile of yellow paper next to it, and a small box of vermilion ink.

"How's this one?"

"Well, this pen is natural, with ingenuity ......" Zhuang You was stuck, he really couldn't find an adjective, so he had to look at Qi Donglai, and Qi Donglai smiled: "Don't look at it ugly, this pipe is made of wood, it is estimated that there are few in the world, the pen bucket is the town stone spirit, and the pen head is made of the eighth tail hair of the Qingqiu Tianhu and the jade rabbit, you stinky boy can be content." ”

These things Zhuang You only knows what Wufu Mu is, and it is mentioned in an ancient book: In the past, there were gods and witches named Baowei, who could impeach a hundred ghosts, and the ghosts were killed with a stick. According to legend, this wood is feared by all ghosts, and it is used as a tool to compete for it, but it is disgusted with evil ghosts, so it is called "no trouble". This is the legendary sacred tree, and for this reason, this one is more beautiful than anything else in his eyes.

Picking up the pen carefully, the tentacles were slightly cool, warm as jade, heavy, a little pressing, Qi Donglai was still full of flesh pain, muttering that if it weren't for the dean, I wouldn't be such a loser, looking at the excited and cautious Zhuang You, he smiled and said: "This one has a lot of functions, you enter the true qi to try it." ”

Slowly crossing into the true qi, the soft hairs of the pen tip actually changed, sometimes round. Sometimes sharp, even long and short, the hard and soft are different. Unexpectedly, this pen turned out to be so magical, Zhuang You couldn't help but look at Mr. Qi and said, "Does it have a name?"

"No, you are the master, so naturally you will come and take it. ”

Zhuang You didn't expect such a precious thing to really give it to himself, he was stunned and refused again and again, his attitude was very firm, and he was useless, not to mention such a treasure, which can be called priceless, Qi Donglai shook his finger and said: "If you say thank you, you will go to thank the old guy in Bailu, most of the materials are from him." "Why is the dean like this?" Zhuang You couldn't think of why, and seeing that Mr. Qi couldn't refuse, he put the matter aside for the time being and asked the dean in the future.

"Then let's call it harmless", Zhuang You seemed to see the streamer of the pen flashing.

The next thing is to draw the talisman formally, which is the simplest yellow paper talisman, and the material is also ordinary, so don't feel distressed if you use it.

Zhuang You remembered seven seven eighty-eight thick books, before coming has been clean, clean face, clean hands, gargle, and the Taoist priests in the countryside are different, there is no high standard altar for sacrifices, and there are no sacrifices such as livestock incense and candles, Zhuang You just concentrated, cleared distracting thoughts, focused thoughts, and silently recited the main god and Buddha Sanqing Patriarch in his heart...... began to step on the gangdou, and gradually became louder from silent recitation.

Zhuang You's mantra is the simplest spell of the spell, and it is also the heart of the talisman he is about to draw, at the beginning of Zhuang You's mantra there was a pause, and soon it was done in one go, without any obstacles, and the steps under his feet are also the Yu steps recorded in the correspondence jade chapter, and there can be no wrong step.

As soon as this thought was taken, half a day had passed, and Qi Donglai had already been in a daze, as if he was asleep.

Suddenly, Zhuang You felt a burst of heat spilling from the top of his head, slowly flowing to his whole body, and finally came! He walked a few steps in a row, grabbed the pen on the table, returned the air flow to his right hand, and lightly touched the cinnabar ink, and then clicked three hooks on the three-inch yellow paper, which is the talisman head representing the three Qings. And these three strokes took a long time, Zhuang You's hand hung in the air and did not move, the sweat on his head was steaming, and after a while, he let out a long breath and failed.

Zhuang You's face was solemn, but he was not discouraged, he silently recited the incantation in his mouth, his footsteps did not stop, and he started again, this time he quickly had a feeling, and he started writing on the new rune paper again.

However, just after drawing the talisman, the qi was interrupted again, Zhuang You was a little prostration, he was a fierce man who pulled out a thousand catties, but after drawing two failed talismans, he was tired like this, it was not easy.

Qi Donglai didn't know when he woke up, looked at Zhuang You who was sweating profusely, and sighed with a smile: "I don't know how to draw talismans, but I make the ghosts and gods laugh, you come here." ”

Zhuang You put down his pen and walked closer, while Qi Donglai talked endlessly about his problem, and when he talked about the key point, Zhuang You suddenly realized, and he couldn't wait to start drawing symbols again.

"It's a pity that I'm not in good health and can't show you that. ”

"It's okay, what the gentleman said is already very good. ”

After some guidance, Zhuang You came to the stone table again, wished the gods of heaven and earth, and after the blessing was completed, he took out a brand new yellow paper, and put pen on ink, thinking about luck, and kept chanting mantras in his mouth. This time, Zhuang You from the head of the talisman, the main god and Buddha, the belly of the talisman to the foot of the talisman, in one go, although the handwriting is quite rusty, but finally drew a clear heart talisman.

The painting is not finished, Zhuang You made a vajra sword finger in his right hand, and carried out the talisman, so that the talisman can be used, who knew that a true qi surged to the talisman at the fingertips, and the talisman burned all of a sudden, instantly turned into ashes, and failed again.

Looking up at the sky, it was almost dusk.

Mr. Qi's spirit was not very good, so Zhuang You had to retire first, but he decided to work hard at night.

After eating in a hurry, he went down the mountain in the sunset, arrived at Shunjing Town, checked the cultivation of the Ximen sisters and brothers, gave them spiritual fruits, taught them until late at night, and quickly went up the mountain again.

Came to the courtyard of the school, Tuoba Hao has not come back, Zhuang You moved the table out, put the pen, ink and paper, under the moonlight, Zhuang You calmed down, wished the gods, took the pen and ink, chanted the mantra in his mouth, stepped on the gangdou, and after a long time, he began to draw talismans.

Failed again and again, Zhuang You's face became worse and worse, looking at the large pile of discarded yellow paper in front of him, and the few materials left next to him, he suddenly felt a burst of anger in his heart, like fire, but with a pat on his shoulder, Zhuang You turned his head angrily, it was Tuoba Hao.

"Tuoba, I'm sorry, I'm in love. ”

Tuoba Hao didn't care, looked at Zhuang You's soaked clothes and the things on the table, and said, "I've seen Qi Donglai draw talismans." ”

Zhuang You was stunned for a moment, remembering that Tuoba Hao was brought into the academy by Mr. Qi, and then Tuoba Hao said: "You are not serious enough to draw talismans." Looking at Zhuang You, who was puzzled or even disbelieved, Tuoba Hao explained: "You are always looking forward to the next piece of paper. ”

Wake up the person in the dream with a word, Zhuang You looked at the pile of waste paper on the table, understood what Tuoba Hao meant, a sword qi shot out in his hand, and the pieces of paper fell, leaving only a piece of yellow paper on the table.

Zhuang You sat on the ground, visualizing his body, his true qi ran all over his body, silently reciting the Taoist Sutra in his heart, the moonlight sprinkled, the soaked clothes on his body agitated, and it dried after a while, after a long time, Zhuang You opened his eyes and stood up.

Repeated countless times of chanting, Yu step, holding the pen and dotting ink, the true qi into the pen, the pen into the most suitable state, dipped in ink pen red, the hand in the air for half an hour, Zhuang You started the pen.

There is no pen to walk the chic freehand of the dragon and snake, and there is no iron painting silver hook stroke, just slowly, little by little to outline the line, not even good-looking, but there is no pause, just like that, the cicadas on the trees not far away, the sound of frogs in the ravines, the summer night breeze blows through the dense leaves, and the moonlight shines on Zhuang You.

I don't know how long it took, Zhuang You put down the pen in his hand, pointed at the talisman with his sword, and he smiled, because he felt that the talisman on the table was alive.

Tuoba Hao had already gone back to the house to rest, and no one shared the joy with Zhuang You, but Zhuang You was already very satisfied, holding the Qingxin talisman in both hands as if treating a rare treasure, and the Qingxin talisman, the lowest talisman in the correspondence jade medal, gave Zhuang You a great sense of achievement.

The sky was dawning, a glimmer of dawn was faintly flickering, and the excited Zhuang You couldn't help but be a little tired, and the last step of talisman making, he decided to complete.

Pinching the talisman, the true qi was introduced, the Qingxin talisman burned rapidly, but no ashes were formed, a faint white brilliance shot into Zhuang You's body, the cool breath spread, the fatigue of the night disappeared, and the corners of Zhuang You's mouth couldn't help but rise.

Two months have passed in a flash, and there is one day that is the beginning of autumn, in these two months, Zhuang You in addition to accepting Mr. Qi's teaching, is to draw talismans and guide the two Ximen sisters and brothers, almost never slept once, he made a large number of basic talismans, all kinds of variety, Mr. Qi said that the materials are not enough to go to the grocery store to get, for which almost annoyed the old man Tang, fortunately, the old man Tang asked Zhuang You to take the talisman to offset the cost of materials, Zhuang You's basic talisman is good, there are many students to buy, Zhuang You's talisman making technology is not smart, but the pen gives a great bonus, back and forth, Zhuang You's talisman is quite popular with students, so that he earned a lot of credits。

But the most important thing at the moment is tomorrow's entrance exam.

Early in the morning, Zhuang You went down the mountain, and before he came to Shunjing Town, he saw the Ximen family outside the town. After greeting the three people, Zhuang You took them up the mountain.

Ximen Gui looked curiously all the way, and praised this White Deer Mountain Zhong Lingyuxiu, which is really a wonderful immortal family of outstanding people. The sisters and brothers of Ximen Qi and Ximen Lian were very nervous, and Zhuang You had done a lot of guidance for their assessment in the past three months, but the sisters and brothers were still nervous and afraid. Ximen Qi pulled Zhuang You's sleeve all the way and kept asking, while Ximen Lian read the words, which was Zhuang You's preparation for their literary exam.

In the past three months, Ximen Qi has gradually stabilized in a realm, and he is unwilling to choose Confucianism as his main subject, so Zhuang You taught him a set of Tongjian boxing selected from the study.

And because Ximen Lian practiced late, although she was smart but not as talented as her younger brother, Zhuang You focused on preparing a set of Yuxiu Feng Qihuang Technique teaching for her, and even took the scriptures from Senior Sister Li Zhuling.

When I came to the gate of the college, there were many unfamiliar faces waiting, most of them accompanied by elders or relatives.

And Zhuang You hesitated, but still gave the sister and brother a package each, admonished him, stepped forward, and stood in front of everyone.

"My name is Zhuang You, and I am your assessor. ”
