Chapter 15: The Soul of God
In the past five years, early morning talisman making has long become Chen Xi's habit, rain or shine.
Today is no exception.
After Chen Xi washed, he sat down in front of the wooden table and began to make talismans.
Unlike in the past, due to the faint pain in the skin all over his body, his wrist holding the pen was obviously a little sluggish, and his speed was much slower, and it was probably impossible to complete thirty first-grade talismans in five hours.
However, Chen Xi didn't care about this, his eyebrows and eyes focused on the rune paper, and his expression was meticulous.
According to the needs of Zhang's grocery store, today, what he needs to make is a basic talisman - the earth shield talisman.
The earth shield talisman is a kind of defense-based earth attribute basic talisman, which can be used to condense a shield like a solid stone in front of you, and the rune structure is not complicated, and the difficulty is the same as that of the fire cloud talisman, but the attributes of the two are completely different.
But this is not difficult for Chen Xi at all, in the past five years, although he has been ridiculed as a waste material who can only make basic runes, but if you say that you have mastered so many basic runes, no one can compare to him.
There was no way, in order to earn Yuan Stones, he had to learn to make basic talismans with various attributes, and only in this way could he exchange Yuan Stones from Zhang's grocery store.
Until now, Chen Xi has mastered no less than a thousand kinds of basic talismans, and this number is absolutely jaw-dropping and unbelievable.
Generally speaking, most talisman masters will choose a talisman path that suits them from the attributes of the five elements, and study and practice it, so as to quickly improve their talisman cultivation.
Chen Xi, on the other hand, did not refuse to come, and practiced all the basic talismans of the five elements, although they were all skillful in their hearts, but they spent more time than other talismans. Whether it's worth it or not, only God knows.
Rustle rustle......
The tip of the pen dipped in ink roamed on the snow-white and soft rune paper, outlining a series of sinuous and smooth runes, Chen Xi's brushwork was still precise and agile, and it seemed that it was not affected by the strength of the wrist.
However, just when the entire earth shield talisman was halfway drawn, an awkward feeling suddenly rose in his heart, as if there was a mistake in the rune on the rune paper, and when he looked closely, he didn't find a trace of error.
Chen Xi frowned and stopped writing, pondering silently, in the past five years, he has made his own earth shield talisman no less than thousands of times, and his brushwork has completely reached the point of being completed in one go, how can there be such an awkward feeling today?
Taking a deep breath, Chen Xi carefully observed the rune paper on the table again, the position of the pen, the symmetry of the ink marks, and the trajectory of the runes...... The more he looked, the more awkward he felt in his heart, as if his chest was full of blocks, and his breathing became rapid.
Awkward?
How can it be awkward? Nothing is wrong!
It's not my fault, it's ......
As if being struck by a bolt of lightning, a strong impulse suddenly floated in Chen Xi's heart, as if he was enchanted, he picked up the talisman pen and waved it down!
On the rune paper, the rune route changed suddenly, and it should have been a tortuous and delicate rune, but it was brushed by Chen Xi, and he traced a dense and complex pattern at the end.
Syllable!
After sketching a stroke, Chen Xi put down the talisman pen, pressed his hands against the wooden table and gasped, but his eyes were bright and scary.
"Sure enough, it looks much smoother now, but ...... Is this still an earth shield?"
After half a ring, Chen Xi picked up the rune paper, looked at the half-familiar and half-unfamiliar rune on it, and couldn't help frowning.
"That's it, let's try it first, it's a waste...... it's a waste" Chen Xi thought for a moment, puzzled, and a wisp of true yuan gushed out from his fingertips and poured into the rune paper.
Brush!
A thick earthy yellow air flow suddenly emerged, and in Chen Xi's hand, there was a turtle-shaped shield that was a man high.
It worked!
While Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, a shock suddenly surged in his heart, the rune structure has evolved over the endless years, and has already formed a fixed structure, the earth shield talisman is one of them, and the rune structure has already been perfected to perfection by countless sages, not to mention modifying the rune, even the slight difference in the rune trajectory may make the whole rune fail.
At this time, this earth shield talisman has been changed by nearly half of the rune trajectory, but it can still be successfully summoned, how can it not be shocked by Chen Xi?
Myself...... Actually changed the runic structure of the earth shield talisman?
Realizing this, the talisman knowledge in Chen Xi's mind was almost subverted, and he couldn't believe that the earth shield talisman in front of him was from his own hand.
Immediately, he was troubled by a trace of doubt, how did he do it just now?
After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Xi suddenly remembered one thing, Fu Xi's predecessors looked at the river map and understood the way of heavenly deduction, and he not only walked out of the secret realm of the stars with the knowledge of Fu Xi, but also obtained a true body imprint left by Fuxi's predecessors, could it be that all this is because of this real body imprint?
Ji Yu's predecessors once said that there is a trace of the true meaning of the river map in this real body imprint, and he visualized this real body imprint last night.
Combined with the enhancement of the six senses when he woke up in the morning, Chen Xi thought clearly almost instantly, all of this must be related to the imprint of his true body left by the master of the cave mansion in the sea of his visualization!
It seems that this method of visualization can not only make one's soul stronger, but also quietly replenish one's rune comprehension.
Chen Xi figured everything out, suddenly enlightened, picked up the talisman pen, and started making talismans again.
Time passed, and in less than three hours, thirty earth shield talismans that were completely different from the world came out, which was two hours shorter than before!
Two hours is enough for Chen Xi to do too many things......
What made Chen Xi particularly happy was that the true yuan in the dantian was not exhausted as usual, but more than half of it was left, which meant that he could make another thirty earth shield talismans, and he would be able to earn an extra ten yuan stones every day!
Let's give these talismans to Uncle Zhang first, I didn't make talismans yesterday, and I don't know if Uncle Zhang will blame himself......
Chen Xi took a deep breath, forced himself to hold down the surprise, got up and walked outside the house.
Zhang's grocery store.
Zhang Dayong stood behind the counter, and as soon as he saw Chen Xi enter the door, he feigned anger and said, "Good boy, why did you miss work yesterday?
Chen Xi felt a touch of warmth in his heart, in the past five years, if Uncle Zhang hadn't been taking care of himself, I am afraid that his family would have no source of livelihood.
Five years ago, he had just learned the basics of talisman making and was selling them everywhere, but few people cared about them, and no merchants were willing to sell them. In Songyan City, the consumption of basic talismans was extremely high, and merchants were more willing to buy them in large quantities, but at that time, Chen Xi could only make five basic talismans a day, and he couldn't look at them at all.
Fortunately, he met Zhang Dayong and offered to buy the talisman he had made, and the price was the same as that on the market, and he had been doing so for five years, and he never broke his promise. This made Chen Xi extremely grateful to Zhang Dayong, and he has always regarded Zhang Dayong as a senior worthy of respect and trust.
"Uncle Zhang, these are today's thirty earth shield talismans. Chen Xi took out a stack of talismans and handed them over.
Zhang Dayong scolded with a smile: "I knew that you kid would change the topic." ”
As he spoke, he took a pile of talismans, didn't look at them, put them on the counter casually, and then took out ten yuan stones and threw them to Chen Xi, and casually teased: "Boy, it's been five years, when are you going to make a second-grade talisman?"
Chen Xi replied: "I already plan to make it, but I need to buy the money for the books." ”
Zhang Dayong was joking, but he didn't expect to get Chen Xi's serious answer, he was slightly stunned, and hahadaxiao said: "Then I'll wait for you to make a second-grade talisman, I will charge as much as I want, and the price is absolutely fair." ”
Looking at the undisguised encouragement in Zhang Dayong's smile, Chen Xi's heart was extremely warm, and he nodded solemnly: "Well, I will learn it as soon as possible." ”
With ten yuan stones and a jade book, Chen Xi turned around and left.
"Broom Star is finally gone...... a talisman apprentice came to the counter, picked up an earth shield talisman with a hippie smile, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the structure of the rune on it clearly: "Uncle Zhang, is this an earth shield talisman?"
"Stinky boy, I've been practicing for more than half a month, and I can't even recognize the earth escape talisman, if you don't work hard, roll up the cover and let Lao Tzu get out!" Zhang Dayong frowned and scolded, but when his eyes fell on the talisman paper, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Having been running a grocery store for nearly 30 years, and handling no less than 100 basic talismans every day, Zhang Dayong's vision has already been tempered to be extremely vicious, and almost instantly he can see that the rune structure of this earth escape talisman has completely changed.
Chen Xi, this kid, did he also learn to slip and start fooling me?
A trace of discomfort swelled up in Zhang Dayong's heart, and over the years, there have also been some talisman apprentices who have played some tricks and made some small moves on the talismans, thinking that they can get away with the tricks, but how can they hide it from his eyes? Zhang Dayong is extremely disgusted by these deceitful guys, and he will never be soft when he finds that one has taken away the other.
Now, the little guy he trusts the most may also do this, Zhang Dayong can't accept it a little, and his face becomes gloomy little by little.
The anomaly in front of the counter gradually attracted the attention of other people in the store, and they all gathered around.
"Yo, this is the earth shield talisman made by Facial Paralysis Chen, why does it look more and more like a fake?"
"I think it's too, how can the earth shield talisman be drawn like this, the rune structure on it is not right at all, Chen Xi is too much!"
"That is, Uncle Zhang has taken care of him for so many years, and he doesn't know how to be grateful in return, but he fools people with this thing, which is really shameful. ”
......
The buzzing chatter was undulating, with a more or less hint of schadenfreude on his face.
Zhang Dayong's face became more and more ugly, and he was extremely sad, he had decided that if Chen Xi did not give him a satisfactory answer tomorrow, he would completely cut off contact, and would not sell the talisman made by Chen Xi again!
"I'll take a look!"
A voice like the cry of a warbler in the valley suddenly sounded, and a girl in a plain skirt came out of the crowd, her eyes and teeth were bright, her skin was like snow, and her appearance was extremely sweet and bright.
