Chapter 1 Lu Dongyang
"The sky is round and the place is round, the nine chapters of the law, I write today, and ten thousand ghosts are hidden"
Lu Dongyang suddenly put away the finishing touch, looking at the ghost avoidance talisman that he had just drawn, but he was not happy at all, and his face was sad.
"Hey, it's failed again! This is already the third one! Uncle Zhao assigned the task of ten ghost avoidance talismans, one of which has not been drawn at this time, but three rune papers have been wasted, and he will definitely be scolded later. ”
Lu Dongyang is an apprentice talisman maker at Zhao's grocery store in Yanyun City, Zhao's grocery store is small in scale, and makes a living by making and selling some simple daily needs of monks, among which only low-level talismans are the most sold. The business is not big, and it is better in the long stream, and it can barely gain a foothold in this Yanyun City.
It was because of the excessive sales of talismans in Zhao's grocery store and the shortage of talismans in the store that Master Zhao had the intention of recruiting apprentices, and recruited dozens of apprentices in one go, and Lu Dongyang was one of the apprentices.
The talisman is divided into nine levels, and the first order is divided into eight grades, and this ghost avoidance talisman is a first-order one-grade spirit rune, which is the lowest grade among the talismans. Talisman making, talisman paper, talisman pen, ink are indispensable, seemingly simple, but the doorway is very complex.
Lu Dongyang has been an apprentice in Zhao's grocery store for more than half a year, but he has no achievements, and the apprentices who came in with him are all much stronger than him, and some of them can even make first-order and third-grade spirit runes! At this time, the probability of success in making first-order spirit runes is less than fifty percent, which makes him even have the idea of finding another way.
Lu Dongyang casually threw aside the failed talisman, took out a brand-new talisman paper again, spread it on the table, and stared at the talisman paper intently, with thousands of thoughts in his mind.
"Master Zhao said: the talisman is made together, broad and profound, the basic skills must be solid, the pen point, dial, hook, stroke, spin, the force must be sharp and accurate, but also in one go, in order to make the spirit rune. ”
If you talk about basic skills, I am afraid that no one among the apprentices can compare with Lu Dongyang, although Lu Dongyang's qualifications are dull, but he is diligent and persistent, even stubborn, the more he can't do something, the more he wants to do it well, the more he wants to do it well, even if it is sleepless.
Master Zhao gave the apprentices ten pieces of rune paper every day, and the ink was tight enough to draw ten runes, and the rest of the apprentices went to do other things after the runes were painted, and Lu Dongyang finished painting, although there was no rune paper and ink, but he often relied on a branch and a piece of sand, and kept drawing on the ground with tireless efforts, which laid a solid foundation.
Lu Dongyang took the pen again, staring at the yellowish rune paper on the desktop, but he didn't put down the pen for a long time, time passed, and the arm in mid-air had begun to go numb, shivering, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Suddenly, Lu Dongyang took a deep breath, threw away the distracting thoughts in his heart, his eyes were calm and clear, his left hand grabbed his right hand fiercely so that it no longer trembled, his wrist swung like a snake, and the tip of the pen was light and lively, rustling...... The slender and graceful red arc spreads on the rune paper, like wisps of cooking smoke, like flowing clouds and water, comfortable and natural, and at the moment when Lu Dongyang closes the pen, a pale yellow aura flashes away on the talisman lying on the table.
Lu Dongyang let out a long breath of turbid breath that had been held in his heart for a long time, looking at the drawn ghost avoidance charm, there was a little excitement in his eyes, but there was no color on his face. Carefully put away the ghost avoidance talisman, took out a brand new talisman paper again, still did not rush to start, as last time, stared at the talisman paper for a long time, as if to see every line on the talisman paper thoroughly, when everything was clear in his chest, he worked hard to write, and in a moment another ghost avoidance talisman appeared in front of Lu Dongyang's eyes.
As concocted, none of the remaining five rune papers were destroyed, and all of them were made. This made Lu Dongyang feel very happy, although the first three runes were damaged, but the next seven spirit runes were all successful, and this comprehensive success rate was even two percent higher than before, which made Lu Dongyang unhappy.
Lu Dongyang waved his sleeves to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead, carefully hid the seven ghost amulets on his chest, picked up the three waste talismans scattered on the ground, opened the door and walked towards the grocery store, the task has been completed, it is time to go to Master Zhao to receive the silver, otherwise, there will be no oil and salt today.
When he came to Master Zhao's door, Lu Dongyang saw several apprentices lying in front of Master Zhao's door, looking in through the crack in the door. Seeing this, Lu Dongyang coughed lightly, and immediately frightened everyone, turned around suddenly, and when he saw that it was Lu Dongyang, his eyes were full of provocation, disgust, contempt, and annoyance.
On the way to disperse, there were even more fists and palms to provoke Lu Dongyang, but Lu Dongyang turned a blind eye to this, and walked straight towards the door of Master Zhao's room. Suddenly, the topic of discussion in the room made Lu Dongyang interested.
"Master Zhao, I am here for Dongyang today, and you probably know that I and Dongyang have been married since I was a child, and we have set up a baby kiss. The two of us, childhood sweethearts, have no guesses and are intimate.
Although Dongyang's family is now in decline, he is unchanged in my heart. Dongyang has a stubborn personality and strong self-esteem, and he refuses to accept alms, let alone my things, so I want to give him this package through you again. A delicate and pleasant voice came into Lu Dongyang's ears, and Lu Dongyang suddenly felt that his mind was blank.
"Why is she?, why is she here!" A series of questions appeared in Lu Dongyang's mind, and at this moment, Master Zhao's voice came into his ears.
"Miss Yu, please rest assured, I will definitely personally hand over this package to Dongyang, over the years, only you have often secretly sent things to Dongyang, it's really difficult for you.
Dongyang's poor child, a few years ago, his family suffered a great change, and he was the only one left to survive overnight among dozens of people in the clan, which is really fateful, Dongyang has had a hard time over the years, but he didn't say anything, knocked out his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, and his personality was very stubborn.
In the early years, Dongyang's father took care of me a lot, and the grace of the drop should be reciprocated, and I took a huge risk to take it under the door, just to repay Dongyang's father's kindness. Zhao Hong took the package from Yu Yishan and said.
"Then thank Master Zhao, please forgive the little girl for taking the liberty of disturbing, I will leave!" Yu Yishan saw Zhao Hong take the package, and immediately relieved her mind and did not stay for a long time.
"Miss Yu, please go slowly!" Zhao Hong got up to see him off, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Lu Dongyang standing outside the door.
"Dong~Dongyang, why are you here?, have you heard everything?" Yu Yishan saw Lu Dongyang standing outside, at a loss, she knew Lu Dongyang's character very well, if she knew that she secretly sent him something, she would definitely be very angry.
"I heard it all" Lu Dongyang's performance was not as Yu Yishan imagined, but very calm, expressionless, and took the package in Zhao Hong's hand.
"Thank you" Lu Dongyang thanked him and turned around to leave.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Yu Yishan looked at Lu Dongyang, who was about to leave, with a bitterness in her heart, her eyes were red, and her beautiful face was full of grievances.
"In the future, don't come back in the future!" Lu Dongyang stopped his pace, did not turn around, stood with his back to Yu Yishan, was silent for a moment, said such a sentence, and then accelerated his pace and left quickly.
"I don't forget my original intention, I don't change my heart, I will wait for you in Dongyang! Marry me. Yu Yishan looked at the back that was gradually moving away, and felt very uncomfortable, so she gave Zhao Hong a slight salute and left quickly.
