Chapter 45: Talisman Making
There are four kinds of things in front of you, from left to right: a gray rune pen, a jar of demon beast spirit blood, a pile of blank rune paper, and a dark green inkstone.
They are the four things necessary for the manufacture of talismans, and Yuan Yi is now putting them all out, but he is about to start practicing the talisman making technique!
He sat cross-legged on the futon, gently stroked his chin with one hand, went back and forth several times, looked down and thought about it again, suddenly patted the storage bag, took out an object from it, and looked closely, but it was a book, called "Detailed Explanation of Talismans".
Then, Yuan Yi opened one of them, read it carefully, and after an hour, he closed the book, and then, Yuan Yi took out the "Basic Talisman Diagram" again, and also thought about it in detail, so that another hour passed.
Speaking of which, in the fang market, low-level talisman classics can be described as cheap and good. Not only are they not as expensive as those of the Miraculous Secret Books, but each of these books has detailed illustrations of how each of the talismans is drawn. Monks can follow this diagram to guide themselves to practice enlightenment, but whether they can get started smoothly and whether they can successfully make talismans is another matter.
After all, the achievement of a talisman maker depends on the innate talent for talisman making, and the accumulation of acquired experience, and the combination of the two can create a talisman maker.
If you don't have the corresponding talent, just by relying on the unremitting practice of talisman making, although it takes a lot of time and effort, and in the end, you may practice a talisman to a mastery level because practice makes perfect, but if you want to become a generation of talisman masters, if you don't have some opportunities to defy the sky, it is almost impossible.
After thinking about it for a while, Yuan Yi turned to a certain place in the "Diagram of the Basic Talisman", and looked at the page with fixed eyes, but saw that it recorded a low-level primary talisman, a detailed diagram called the "Water Arrow Talisman".
He looked at it carefully, from the beginning of the illustration, then to the connection of the lines, then to the luck of turning the pen, and finally to the end of the painting, the whole complex portrait and illustration, all of which were carefully written down in detail, and after some further reflection, he suddenly closed the book, silently recalled for a moment, opened it again and checked it, and after finding no mistakes, he put the book aside.
Then, Yuan Yi took the dark green inkstone to him, looked at it carefully for a moment, and saw that the inkstone was oval-shaped, the longest part was about a few feet, and the short point was only six or seven inches, and its inner recess could be loaded with liquid.
So, he took the Tianmu Demon Spirit Blood, opened the lid of the jar, poured some spiritual blood into the inkstone, and then put down the lid on it and put the spiritual blood aside.
Then, Yuan Yi moved with one hand and gently grinded the ink.
After a while, when the spiritual blood in the inkstone turned black and lacquered, and a fragrant breath wafted out from it, Yuan Yi immediately knew that the magic ink had been made and could be used to draw talismans.
So, he stretched out one hand in front of him and pulled out a piece of rune paper at random, but he saw that the rune paper was blank, more than nine inches long and six inches five wide;
After the end of the pen was stained with a little magic ink, he held the pen with one hand, and at the same time, the spiritual power in his body was urged, and he slowly poured it into the talisman pen, his eyes were destined to be blank, and his attention was concentrated, and he began the first talisman making practice!
But after a few breaths, I saw that the rune paper suddenly made a "crackling" sound, and the lines on it flickered, and the spiritual power became chaotic at the same time, and then the rune paper spontaneously combusted on the spot.
Yuan Yi saw this situation, but he expected it, he pondered for a moment, and then muttered: "The stroke just now, but the luck is too heavy, so the pen is not evenly used, this is all a mistake caused by my too nervous mood!"
So, he took a deep breath, and then slowly spit it out, after doing this a few times, when the nervous mood was relieved, he immediately cleaned up the remains of the rune paper in front of him, took a blank rune paper again, moved the rune pen again, and started the second talisman making practice!
After about two quarters of an hour like this, suddenly the spiritual power of the rune paper was chaotic again, and the lines on it flickered indiscriminately and frequently, accompanied by a burst of "crackling" sounds, and the whole rune paper spontaneously combusted on the spot.
Seeing this, Yuan Yi was not discouraged, he pondered for a moment, and then said to himself: "Fang Cai's painting, the brush is even, but it doesn't seem to be that way to draw, this is a mistake caused by unclear memory!"
So, he relaxed for a moment, suddenly put down the talisman pen in his hand, picked up the book next to him, and carefully read the "Water Arrow Talisman" diagram again, and when he confirmed that he remembered correctly, he immediately cleaned up the remains of the rune paper in front of him, took a blank rune paper again, and picked up the talisman pen on the side at the same time, and started the third talisman making practice!
An hour later, suddenly the lines on the rune paper flickered again and again, and a "crackling" sound followed, and the spiritual power of the rune paper was abnormal at the same time, and then the entire rune paper spontaneously combusted on the spot.
Seeing this, Yuan Yi was not annoyed and disappointed, he pondered for a moment, and then muttered to himself: "The previous stroke was extremely evenly brushed, and there was no mistake in memory, but it was just that the ink of the rune was just used up, and this was a mistake caused by external reasons!"
So, he once again poked the talisman pen into the inkstone, and after it was soaked in pitch-black ink, he cleaned up the remains of the talisman paper again, took a blank talisman paper, and continued his talisman making practice!
In this way, Yuan Yi sat on the futon, his attention was concentrated, completely immersed in the manufacture of the talisman, in his continuous production failure, and constantly followed the practice, and defeated and practiced, and practiced and defeated, time inadvertently, quietly, slowly passed.
During this time, whenever he felt a roar in his abdomen, he would take out the tasteless Bigu Dan that had been prepared in advance to satisfy his hunger; whenever he noticed the pain in the meridians in his hands caused by the excessive transmission of spiritual power, he would sit on the futon, swallow the Hui Yuan Dan, and carry the "Five Elements Jue" mental method to restore the mana while slowly relieving the pain in the meridians; whenever he found that his mental energy was exerting a huge amount of energy until he was about to fall asleep, he would close his eyes and close his mind for a moment, quietly waiting for the normal mental strength.
This kind of monotonous talisman life, if it continues like this, will inevitably make people bored for a long time.
When Yuan Yi felt this way, he forcibly suppressed this thought, and instead thought of the experience in talisman making that had increased with his continuous practice and summarization, as well as the bright prospect of success, he immediately cheered up, and then put aside that negative emotion and refocused his attention on talisman making.
Finally, the hard work pays off!
Ten days later, at noon, under the light of the dim moonstone, but when Yuan Yi added the last stroke to the rune paper, the whole rune paper suddenly flickered one after another, and all the spiritual threads were connected at the same time, accompanied by a burst of sky blue light, the shape of the rune paper suddenly changed from large to small, and finally turned into a small piece of hard paper.
The cardboard is three inches long and more than two inches wide, and there is an arrow logo on it, giving it a sky-blue hue. Compared with the "Water Arrow Talisman" in his memory, Yuan Yi immediately knew that the first talisman in his talisman-making career, the Water Arrow Talisman, was successfully made!
Yuan Yi was overjoyed when he saw this, he suddenly stood up, kept pacing back and forth, looked at the water arrow talisman in his hand, his hands kept rubbing it over and over, his nose was sniffing its aromatic smell up and down, feeling the fruits of these days' hard work, he couldn't help but be excited and excited!
After a long time, he stopped walking, calmed down his agitation, and then groaned in place for a while, and then carefully put away the water arrow talisman.
Immediately after he washed up in the living room next to him, he opened the door of the cultivation room that had been closed for ten days, then opened the prohibition set up in it, locked the door and windows, and immediately strode out of the room.
A moment later, Yuan Yi came to a restaurant, and he ordered a sumptuous meal to reward himself for several days of hard work.
Half an hour later, he finished his lunch contentedly, and then wandered the streets for a while, then walked back to his cultivation room to continue his talisman practice.
Yuan Yi clearly knows that his talisman making career has just begun!
