Chapter 21: The Legend of the Ghost (I)
With mixed thoughts in his heart, Yu Xiu shook his head abruptly: "No matter what these things do, the Taoist priest is dead, the seventh uncle is dead, if I don't expel the corpse qi in my body, I will also die." ”
"The most important thing at the moment is to successfully draw a 'corpse talisman' to suppress or even expel the corpse qi in the body. He was sure.
"As for the successful drawing...... If it's easy, it's okay to help Uncle Seven take revenge. ”
It's just that Yu Xiu has just entered the Tao, and without the guidance of his master, it is quite difficult to learn the corpse talisman in a short time. It is likely that by the time he fully grasps it, the murderer who killed the seventh uncle will have already run away.
However, there is no way to do it, Yu Xiu can't put down his life-threatening matter first and help others avenge it as soon as possible.
He has not yet been in a hurry to be righteous and righteous and to repay to this extent.
For a while, Yu Xiu didn't even want to eat. But he was hungry, and he was worried that there was something wrong with the food on the table, so he didn't dare to eat. I had to cook again and make a pot of rice porridge.
By the time all the preparations were done, it was already late at night, and the mood of Yu Xiu was completely calm. He closed all the doors and windows of Yizhuang, re-entered the stove room, and sat down at the wooden table.
Yu Xiu lit a dim oil lamp, took a few deep breaths, his eyes were blazing, and immediately lowered his head to study the corpse talisman handbook.
The words on the handbook entered his eyes, making the thoughts in his mind beat, "I see......" Yu Xiu's eyes kept flashing with inspiration.
He combined the drawing steps of the corpse talisman with the formula for refining the corpse in the middle of his brain, and immediately understood a lot of the principles of corpse refining. At the same time, Yu Xiu guessed that the corpse qi in his body was probably not specially planted by the Wumei Taoist priest, but was infected by the white-haired female corpse when he raised the corpse.
But the reason is not very important to him anymore, what is important now is to successfully draw the corpse talisman.
Yu Xiu repeated the corpse talisman handbook several times, and silently recited it three times, and found that he had written down all the contents of the handbook. He checked it, and it was really word for word.
"This is the ability of the Taoist priest of the night travel realm, and when he hears it, he recites it. Yu Xiu thought to himself, "If you want to cultivate and improve a little more, you can just recite it once." ”
Noting down the contents, he took the yellow paper and cinnabar pen that he had prepared in the village, and began to draw.
"The effect of a talisman is ...... with the material of the talisman paper, the type of ink, and the person holding the pen Even the brush used to draw the symbols has a relationship," Yu Xiu pondered the main points of drawing the symbols, spreading out the finger-wide yellow paper.
"A corpse talisman is best made of human skin as paper, human blood as ink, and skull as inkstone...... Draw in the yin and the earth, so that it is easy to succeed and easy to get a good character. ”
It's just that Yu Xiu has only just learned to draw talismans, and even whether the talisman can be drawn completely is a problem, and he doesn't need to think too much about it.
And with ordinary yellow paper, ordinary pen and ink, it is also possible to draw a small effective talisman, in order to test the level of the talisman, it is enough.
The dim oil lamp burns slowly, emitting a scorching smell from time to time.
Yu Xiu lit the light of the beans, lay on the wooden table, sketched one by one, concentrated, and the spirit of the whole person was condensed to the extreme.
Pages of yellow paper flew off the table, landed on the ground, and soon accumulated into a pile.
Yu Xiu drew dozens or hundreds of talismans in a row, and I don't know how late the night went, but none of them succeeded. Not even to mention success, he didn't even reach the level of touching the corpse with pen and ink.
"I have cultivated into a Yin God, and my spiritual sense is keen, if the corpse qi is condensed in the pen, it is impossible not ......to detect it," Yu Xiu sighed in his heart: "In other words, I don't even know where the door is." ”
Although drawing talismans is a trail, it is not easy to learn. Compared with the practice of "White Bone Yaksha Concept", Yu Xiu hit a big wall on it.
"Before entering the Tao, I borrowed the tone of the text on the top and turned the text into the Tao, so that I could condense the Yin God in one fell swoop. An idea came to his mind.
The secret technique of "Eating Qi and Transforming the God" can only nourish the Yin God with Wen Qi and cultivate thoughts, but it can't help Yu Xiu draw talismans, even if he wants to use it, there is no way.
Yu Xiu did not give up, and bent down again, outlining the charm with pen and ink, sometimes stopping, sometimes falling the pen without stopping, one after another. But unfortunately, there is still no sign of corpse condensation in his pen.
"This place is Yizhuang, and there is even a female corpse in the hall that is almost transformed, and the corpse is very strong...... I don't have a talent for drawing talismans. ”
For a while, Yu Xiu began to doubt himself. But in an instant, he threw the idea out of his head. He's not a self-defeating man.
In the middle of the night, the full oil lamps burned one after another, and Yu Xiu felt that his nose was full of the smell of burnt wicks, and at the same time, his spirit was slowly tired.
As a last resort, he put down the talisman again, rubbed his eyes, and rested for a while.
"But did you encounter difficulties?" Yu Xiu was closing his eyes when suddenly a voice sounded, making him think that he was hallucinating.
But in an instant, Yu Xiu's eyes jumped, he had already cultivated into a Yin God, and unless he was blinded by a fertilization monster or a spell, there would never be an auditory hallucination. Yu Xiu's fingers immediately pressed against the hilt of the sword.
"Try again. The voice sounded again, a little hoarse, some familiar.
Yu Xiu tensed, half-opened his eyes, and squinted at the past.
I saw an old man standing at the table, wearing an old sheepskin jacket, his hands in his sleeves, squinting at the talisman drawn by Yu Xiu.
Yu Xiu saw it clearly, and was stunned: "Seventh uncle?" he lost his voice.
When the other party heard the shout, he glanced at him, continued to look down at the talisman, and sneered, "The skill is still too shallow." ”
Yu Xiu heard the sound again, took a deep breath, and secretly said in his heart: "No, Uncle Seven is dead." He remained silent and looked down at Uncle Seven's feet.
Sure enough, Uncle Seven was not standing in front of him, but his back heels did not touch the ground, the forefeet did not land, only the toes of his toes rubbed the ground, and his body was faintly transparent.
The word "ghost" jumped out of Yu Xiu's mind, and he almost immediately wanted to swing his sword and slash at it. Whether it's useful or not, let's cut the other party's sword first.
Fortunately, he held back his thoughts, thought about it, and spoke up: "Please ask Uncle Seven for advice." ”
When Uncle Seven heard this, he glanced at him, and really stretched out his hand, pointed to a talisman that Yu Xiu had just drawn, and said, "The pen is too strong here, so it should be a little rounder." "Speaking of the seventh uncle of the talisman, he doesn't speak like an old man carrying a corpse at all, and he is quite attained.
Yu Xiu thought for a while, really picked up the talisman pen, skimmed a few drops of cinnabar, and drew on the talisman paper again. When he reached the place pointed out by the seventh uncle, he restrained his wrist strength a little and stabilized the talisman pen, making the pen lighter and slower.
After the painting was finished, Yu Xiu unfolded the rune paper and found that there had really been a little change.
Although he still failed to touch the corpse qi, the talisman he drew was much more harmonious, and the messy runes on it actually had a little beauty.
It's just a little bit that you will ignore if you don't pay attention to it. But Yu Xiu was already very human, and he was immediately shocked by this change: "This ......"
Uncle Qi continued to clasp his hands, smiled on his face, and said, "Novice drawing talismans, this is the easiest mistake. ”
Yu Xiu was overjoyed, and said, "Please give Uncle Seven more advice." ”
It doesn't matter if he's a human or a ghost, use it first!
