Chapter 151 Skills

The next day, Shen Shi came to the Five Elements Hall of the Shutang Hall early, perhaps because he came a little early, he didn't see the figure of his senior sister Xu Yanzhi, but he was unexpectedly surprised to find that Old Man Pu had already sat at the door of the Five Elements Hall with a wine bottle so early, looking indifferent and leisurely and a little comfortable.

Yesterday's apprenticeship has been done, Shen Shi was a little more cordial to this old man Pu in the mood of respect in the past, and at this moment, he saw it at a glance, and hurriedly walked over and shouted:

"Master. ”

Old man Pu glanced up at him, smiled, smiled gently, and said, "I came so early." ”

Seeing that he had a kind attitude and no arrogance, Shen Shi couldn't help but feel relaxed in his heart, and said with a smile: "Yes, I can't sleep in the cave, so I thought it would be better to come over early." ”

Old man Pu nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad." As he spoke, he patted the ground beside him lightly and said, "Sit down." ”

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, but then he also lost his smile, without any words of excuse, he simply sat on the ground and leaned against Old Man Pu's side. Compared with the life in those mountains and wilderness in the past, the entrance of the Five Elements Hall is simply clean and outrageous, and he does not have the mentality of some disciples in the Lingxiao Sect to be pampered.

The breeze blew through the Five Elements Hall, bringing up a few fallen leaves on the ground, and the huge hall was quiet inside and outside, and there was no human figure, only this pair of two people who had just become masters and apprentices sat side by side, and the hall looked dark and gloomy from a distance, looking at the appearance that even if there was a person standing in the shadows, it was difficult for people to notice.

The white hair fluttered slightly in the wind, and the old man Pu smiled and said, "Do you want to drink?"

Shen Shi smiled: "If you don't feel sorry for the good wine, then take a sip." ”

Old man Pu laughed and threw the wine bottle over, Shen Shi caught it, raised his head and took a sip, a mellow wine entered his throat, the luscious and mellow wine fragrance was fragrant, he put down the wine bottle and closed his eyes slightly, and after a while, he took a breath and sighed: "Good wine." ”

Old man Pu smiled and said, "Although this adult flower carving is really good, it doesn't seem to have reached this point when you are so intoxicated?"

Shen Shi smiled and said, "Master, if you drank the same bad wine as vinegar for three years in the past, and then drank this Huadiao, how do you think you would feel?"

Old man Pu was stunned for a moment, then frowned and pondered, and after a while, his body suddenly shook, as if he had sour teeth, and then looked at Shen Shi, and said: "Really, when you said this, I suddenly felt that this flower carving was really the best in wine!"

As he spoke, he snatched the wine bottle and took a big sip, then sighed, with a little sympathy, and said, "Have you really drunk bad wine for three years before, it must have been a bad day, right?"

Shen Shi shook his head when he heard this, first smiled, but then hesitated a little. He has been with the old white monkey with good wine for three years in the demon world, and he has indeed drunk those extremely bad sour wines many times in the middle, but these things involve the secrets of the demon world, and he doesn't know whether to tell the master for a while.

And the old man Pu, who was sitting next to him, glanced at him at this time, his face was gentle and calm, and he said with a smile: "What's the matter, what are you thinking?"

Shen Shi was silent and didn't speak, and Old Man Pu still had a smile on his face, and he didn't particularly mind, but the atmosphere seemed to be a little strange suddenly. But Shen Shi didn't hesitate for too long, and soon he suddenly turned around, but he knelt on his knees and put his hands on his thighs, looked at Old Man Pu, and stopped talking.

Old man Pu smiled and said lightly, "What's wrong?"

Shen Shi took a deep breath and said, "Master, I actually have something to hide from you. ”

Old man Pu let out an "oh", turned his head to look at him, and said lightly: "Since there is something, then tell me." ”

Shen Shi hesitated, but gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and said, "Master forgive me, that matter is a little involved, I'm just afraid of me...... I can't say yet. ”

Old Man Pu's expression faded a little more, and the smile on his face was almost completely retracted, but his tone was quite peaceful, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, and said, "Why, what's so important, can't you even say it to me, as a master?"

Shen Shi's hands slowly slid from his thighs to the ground, his body leaned slightly, his face seemed to be a little pale, and even his breathing was a little shorter and heavier. The master who just worshipped yesterday, who would want to go to the next day to confront and offend, not to mention that this master himself is highly respected and has blue eyes for himself.

But Shen Shi was still silent, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "Master, that secret is what I encountered before I returned to the mountain, and only the sect leader and the Supreme Elder know about it, and the disciple also promised them to keep it a secret that day. ”

Old man Pu raised his eyebrows, thoughtfully, and after a moment of silence, he said: "I see, but if this is the case, you can't say it, I won't know about it anyway, right, but why did you mention it to me?"

Shen Shi raised his head to meet the gaze of Old Man Pu, and had no intention of dodging, and said calmly: "One day is a teacher and a father for life, and the disciple has no intention of deliberately covering up anything from the master, but after all, the disciple personally agreed to teach the real person. People do not stand without faith, beg the master to wait, and the disciple will go to the Yunxiao Hall to ask to see the real person in charge, and tell the matter carefully and please inform the master of this matter. If there is any disrespect, it is the fault of the disciple, and the master only punishes him, and the disciple has no complaints. ”

With that, he leaned down and slammed his head on the ground.

Old man Pu didn't speak, just stared at Shen Shi, he didn't speak, Shen Shi couldn't get up, but the invisible silent pressure was instantly surging from all directions, making him a little difficult to breathe, at this moment, he seemed to really feel the incredible power of the Yuan Dan Realm Great True Man, even if he didn't mean to, but this invisible momentum was also terrifying and terrifying.

"Hah!"

Suddenly, Old Man Pu suddenly opened his mouth and smiled, laughing freely and gently, pulling up Shen Shi and saying with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter, old man, I have lived a lot of years, do you still care about these little things." Those past things, you can say it if you want to, if you can't say it, you don't have to say it, don't worry about it, come on, come and follow me into the temple, and today the old man wants to see your talisman skills again. ”

Laughing as he spoke, he patted his butt and got up, and by the way, he also pulled up Shen Shi, and then walked into the Five Elements Hall.

Shen Shi stood in place for a while, stretched out his hand to wipe his forehead, his eyes stayed on the body of the old man Pu in front of him for a moment, and then followed with a respectful expression, but in the middle, the palm he put down was lightly touched on his waist, that is, the position of his own Ruyi bag, intentionally or unintentionally.

※※※

The Five Elements Hall is spacious and quiet, but the old and the young are obviously familiar with the atmosphere here, Old Man Pu took Shen Shi all the way to the apse, entered a room with a few bookshelves against the wall that looked like a study, and then said to Shen Shi with a smile:

"When I saw you for the first time that day, I saw that you could recognize a few rune rune arrays, and then I heard Xu Yatou say that you seem to have been studying the runes together. Let's practice the Five Elements Technique, if the talisman can be used well, it will be a big help, you can draw a few talismans now, and let the old man see what kind of attainments you have in the talisman?"

Shen Shi's eyes fell on the desk in the room, and he saw a talisman pen and cinnabar and a stack of yellow rune paper on the table, which had obviously been arranged a long time ago, he smiled at the old man Pu, and arched his hand: "The disciple obeyed the order and offered his ugliness." ”

Old man Pu smiled and waved his hand to let him pass. Shen Shi walked to the desk, tidied up his clothes and sat down, then after calming down for a while, he took a piece of yellow rune paper, picked up the rune pen and dipped it in cinnabar, took a deep breath, and then put down the pen.

The distorted and bright red strokes were smoothly and smoothly drawn on the yellow rune paper, and the study suddenly became very quiet, Old Man Pu did not make any sound, and Shen Shi seemed to have completely forgotten the things around him, and at this moment, he was completely immersed in the world of drawing runes, just like the days he had practiced diligently for more than ten years.

Every movement, every time he raised the pen, he was all calm, without half a minute of hesitation, without half a minute of trembling, Old Man Pu only looked at it for a while, his face changed slightly, and then looked at Shen Shi's gaze, which was already a little surprised. And Shen Shi didn't notice the change in the expression of the old man next to him at all, in his eyes, there was only the direction and depiction of the talisman pattern.

Yellow rune paper is the lowest grade of all rune paper, and it can only carry the first-order spell of the Five Elements Spell, so what Shen Shi is describing this time is the rune pattern of the most common first-order spell "Fireball Technique", and the three yang fire runes gradually appear on the rune paper, forming that familiar rune array.

When the last stroke was made, Shen Shi's wrist paused steadily in the air, then slowly put it down, he examined the rune paper again, nodded slightly, then stood up, raised his eyes to look at Old Man Pu, and said:

"Master, look ......"

Old man Pu walked over, his face looked very calm, the little surprise he had had earlier had long disappeared, he picked up the yellow rune paper and looked at it, bowed his head slightly, but he didn't say good or bad, just said lightly: "Draw a few more, it's best to use different spells." ”

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "Yes." ”

With that, he turned around and sat down again, took the yellow rune paper again, and after a moment of deep silence, began to continue writing.

The distorted and complicated patterns slowly appeared again under his brush, entangled and mysterious, but each stroke of Shen Shi was so clear and calm, drawing the extremely difficult runes one by one smoothly.

Water archery, earth sinking, rock thorns, fire barriers, this time, he drew four runes in succession, there was almost no pause in between, the difficult and complicated runes seemed to suddenly become extremely simple and clear under his pen, and they were revealed one by one, and then they were drawn on the yellow rune paper without any difference.

Old man Pu looked at Shen Shi's gaze, the look of surprise reappeared and became more and more intense, and he couldn't help but start to look at this young disciple again, as a great cultivator of the Yuan Dan Realm and extremely accomplished in the Five Elements Technique, he undoubtedly knew the difficulty of the Talisman Sect, and to achieve such an astonishing level of proficiency as the young man in front of him, it would at least require a veteran talisman maker who had been making talismans for more than ten years and had extraordinary talents.

The old man's eyes slowly brightened again, and even a trace of hidden excitement could be vaguely seen in the depths of his eyes, but when Shen Shi finished drawing these runes and turned his head to look at him, Old Man Pu's expression calmed down again.

He quietly looked at the five yellow rune papers lined up on the table for a while, then raised his head and said to Shen Shi:

"It's okay to draw. By the way, will you be instilled, which is the last step in talisman making?"

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Old man Pu smiled, grinned, as if he was a little happy, took a big sip of wine with his wine bottle, and then said with a smile:

"Come, try it, pour all these runes into the spirit, and I'll see how many runes you can make in the end?"
