Chapter 42: Drawing Symbols

Small bridges, flowing water, grasslands, ancient maples, stone tables, small bridges and flowing waters, mountains and waters, constitute a charming landscape, three or four people hug the ancient maple branches luxuriantly, growing on the grass on the river surface, lush, huge canopy shade a large area of sunlight on the grass to cast a large shade of the place, the river breeze caressing, cool and pleasant.

A small wooden bridge connects the two banks of the river, under the huge ancient maple is a round stone table and four stone benches, after breakfast, carrying pen and ink and paper, Zhou Shaojin came here alone along the river into the ditch, walked across the wooden bridge, came to the ancient maple, put things on the stone table, this place has a place name in the village, Gu Fengping!

Named after this huge ancient maple number, this stone table and stone bench were also made by the people in the village before, who made Zhou Shaojin is not clear, in his memory, since he can remember, this stone table and stone bench is here, in the past, the people in the village went into the ditch to cut firewood, whether it was adults or children, they would sit down and rest here when passing by the ancient maple ping, especially in summer, because by the river, there is a huge ancient maple shade, plus the big tree beckons the wind, this is completely a holy place for enjoying the shade, in the past, here from morning to afternoon almost a day without interruption of people。

In the final analysis, the number of people in the village has decreased and the living standard has improved, in the past, there were many people in the village, whether it was the elderly and children, or the young men were basically at home, plus the village was poor, whenever there was time, every family in the village would go into the ditch to go up the mountain to cut firewood, one was for their own firewood, and then a wood could be sold for some money, but now, in the village, all the middle-aged strong men or young men who have the ability to work, as long as they are not studying, have basically gone to work outside, and few people are willing to stay at homeEven if they stay at home, few people will be willing to go up the mountain in the ditch to chop wood.

The most important thing is that the conditions have become better, although the village is not rich, but it is not as poor as before, some small money can still be taken out, for convenience, many cooking and cooking in the village are used in coal fire, the need for firewood is greatly reduced, so down, there are few people who will go up the mountain to chop firewood, and there are not many people who naturally enter the ditch, plus the distance from the village into the ditch Gufengping is not short, and it takes about an hour to walk, so until now, even if it is broad daylight, there will basically be no one passing here all day, because of the reduction of people, the wild grass in the lawn is much higher than the memory before, not over the knee。 There are only a few wild grasses at the roots of the ancient maple tree, and they are low.

Take out a piece of white paper and lay it flat on the round stone table, press the corners of the white paper with small stones to prevent it from being blown away by the wind, and place the ink and brush.

Gu Fengping is now sparsely populated, there are rare people twenty-four hours a day, but for Zhou Shaojin, it is a good place to practice the ghost talisman, he thought of it after buying the method of the ghost talisman, it is sparsely populated, and it is under Gu Feng, quiet and cool, and the most important thing for cultivation is to be quiet and undisturbed, plus he himself also wants to keep the secret of his cultivation from being known, this place is completely the most suitable place for him.

However, for the sake of safety, he still decided to go to the top of Luoyang Mountain early in the morning when he was refining, because if he was in Gufengping, sometimes it was difficult to ensure that no one would pass by early in the morning, although few people in the village came to Gufengping now, but it was not absolutely nothing, for example, some hunting people, some of them entered the mountain early in the morning, if they were seen, it was always suspicious, and the drawing talisman was not necessary, if someone passed by him, he could see it from afar, and when people came over curiously, he could be ready to find a reason to practice calligraphy by himself, and he was now admitted to Beijing University, and he was already a celebrity in Songzhu Village, everyone knows that the Zhou family has a great high-achieving student named Zhou Shaojin, who was admitted to Beijing University, and he said that no one will doubt that he practices calligraphy.

Under the ancient maple, the breeze is pleasant, even if it is a hot summer, but here you will not feel hot for twenty hours a day.

Zhou Shaojin stood beside the stone table, picked up the moistened brush, glued the ink, and the tip of the pen gently fell on the white paper on the stone table, and the original white paper was also dyed with a little Yin Hong.

This is red ink, perhaps influenced by previous ghost films, seeing that the charms drawn by those Taoist priests are all red ink, in fact, Zhou Shaojin knows that the power of the charm mainly depends on the person who draws the charm and the material used to draw the charm, such as the same person, the ink and dog blood are used to draw the charm, so there is no doubt that the charm made by dog blood is definitely far better than the spell drawn with ink, as for the ink, what color is the same.

Staring at the comparison that fell on the white paper, Zhou Shaojin's mind was thinking about the drawing method of the ghost suppression talisman.

Three steps to the charm: draw the form, draw the god, and lead the spirit!

The first step is to draw the shape of the charm, because the charm is composed of specific shapes and characters, which are in line with the rules of heaven and earth, and its shape must be drawn completely and accurately, the complete shape of the ghost charm has long existed in Zhou Shaojin's mind, and the first step he has to do now is to draw the ghost charm completely according to the shape in his mind.

The second step is to draw God, this is on the basis of the first step of drawing shape, draw the charm, this step is very suspenseful, it is difficult to accurately express it in words, simply put, it is a state realm, draw the charm of the charm, and the rules of heaven and earth, that is, when drawing the charm, the rules of heaven and earth, at this time, the drawn charm is no longer simply the shape of their own drawing, but a kind of rule rune drawn by the rules of heaven and earth, with a certain power, to this step, the spell is almost completed, even if you are using an ordinary tap water to draw the charm, as long as you reach the step of painting the god, you already have some powerThe only difference is whether the charm is powerful or not.

The third step of the spirit channel, simply put, is to inject energy into the talisman, so that the power of the talisman becomes more powerful, this step has started from the time of drawing the talisman, depending on the things used to draw the talisman, such as the ghost talisman, if you use the black dog blood, rooster blood or the blood of some powerful creatures, then the talisman will have some powerful abilities of the creatures to which these blood belong, so that the power of the talisman is more powerful.

The person who draws the talisman can also draw the talisman with his own blood, such as some monks, the monk himself is powerful, and the power contained in his blood is far stronger than that of ordinary people, if the monk draws the talisman with his own blood, the power of the talisman is definitely not to be underestimated.

Zhou Shaojin can now draw talismans completely with his own blood, although he has just built a small foundation, but he has already refined qi, and the power contained in his blood has surpassed that of ordinary people, drawing talismans with his blood can completely increase the power of the talisman, of course, it is naturally better to draw ghost talismans with black dog blood or rooster blood, because black dog blood and rooster blood are all supreme yang things, specifically restraining ghosts, especially those who are old enough for the blood of black dogs and roosters.

Soon, according to the drawing method of the ghost town talisman in his mind, Zhou Shaojin drew the ghost town talisman, but he was a little dissatisfied and frowned, because although he said that the ghost town talisman was completely drawn, the shape was not very neat.

Dipping the pen in ink, Zhou Shaojin began to try it a second time, the shape of the ghost charm is very similar to the appearance of those charms on TV, in his mind, I am afraid that the charms in those ghost movies are not all made up.

It took more than a dozen breaths for Zhou Shaojin to draw the second transformation of the ghost talisman, the process was smooth, in one go, he didn't know if he was originally very capable of learning or because the shape of the ghost talisman was deeply engraved in his mind, the second time the ghost talisman was drawn, he found that there was no difference with the shape of the ghost talisman in his mind.

Third time...... Fourthly... Fifth time......

Moistening the pen, dipping in ink, drawing symbols, and the process of pen walking dragon and snake, in one go, a series of ghost charms to draw the ghost charm to the tenth time, Zhou Shaojin temporarily stopped writing, only to see on the white paper, ten ghost charm in two rows neatly arranged, except for the first painting of the ghost charm, the other nine shape symbols are almost the same.

Zhou Shaojin nodded with some satisfaction, he was considered to have completed the step of drawing the ghost town charm, he was confident, at this time, as long as he was thinking, he could draw the ghost town charm accurately, whether it was with a brush or something else.

"The first step is to draw the shape, and the next step is to draw the gods. ”

Lifting the brush in his hand, Zhou Shaojin started again, this painting is more than an hour, as if he has fallen into a state of madness, devoting himself wholeheartedly to the painting talisman, there is no foreign object in his heart, the white paper full of ghost talismans painted on the front and back is thrown one after another on the ground, and the pile of white paper brought has been reduced by nearly half.

Zhou Shaojin stood beside the stone table, from a distance, he was like a statue at the moment, his eyes were staring at the brush in his hand, and the brush was sliding on the white paper like a swimming dragon.

After another half an hour, Zhou Shaojin suddenly stopped writing, on the round table in front of him, a white paper was tiled, only a ghost town charm was turned in the middle, which looked exactly the same shape as the ghost town charm drawn on the white paper sprinkled on the ground under Zhou Shaojin's feet, but if you look closely, you will find that the ghost town charm in the middle of the white paper on the stone table in front of Zhou Shaojin seems to be brighter, like between the lines, there is a faint fluorescence.

Zhou Shaojin put down the pen, slowly picked up the white paper on the table with both hands, and then, I didn't see him make too many movements, only heard the sound of "bang", the ghost charm in the middle of the white paper in his hand suddenly burned, a flame rose, and then the flame quickly spread to the entire white paper, Zhou Shaojin let go of his hands, and the white paper fell, but it had burned into ashes before it fell to the ground.

"Heart and mind are in harmony, and Shen Yun is self-contained!"

Looking at the embers after the burning of the white paper under his feet, Zhou Shaojin had a smile on his face, because he knew that he had succeeded.
