Chapter Forty-Nine: The Chief Talisman, Fighting Openly and Secretly
Qin Xuan sensed the true meaning of "the intersection of the two veins" in the sea of bamboo, and could even understand the surprise of the scattered cultivator ancestor back then.
The undercurrent of Spirit Whale Island is surging, and it is difficult to predict the future, and it is always a good thing to have one more road and one more option.
Liu He had been practicing in Zixia Academy for more than ten years in the past, Qin Xuan lightly said, "Cope with the big exam", he understood that Qin Xuan's goal was to fight for a good ranking in the New University of Science and Technology examination, and sneered in his heart, mocking this country boy for spending money to mix up his background, and he dared to hope to win the big exam reward.
He inevitably felt that this kind of thing was too funny, and he smiled, "The big exam of Xingchen Academy is still very important, and it is only natural that the teacher and nephew should pay attention to it." Generally speaking, in the new science and technology examination of the Xingchen Academy, the runes are mainly tested for the four major general symbols, namely the escape symbol, the array symbol, the magic symbol, and the letter symbol, which are also the four most commonly used types of symbols. ”
"Do you have to bring your own talisman case, talisman pen, and talisman paper? Or is it a unified arrangement of the Taoist Academy?"
"Unified arrangement, this is the same as the other six academies, after all, it is to assess the level of disciples, not to compete with the financial resources of each family. Liu He observed his words and looks, estimating that Qin Xuan might not even be sure of the more than ten basic of the four great symbols, and became more and more contemptuous, secretly ridiculing this small country clan for admiring vanity and not measuring his own strength, if he had this family background, he would definitely concentrate on staying in the Giant Wood Courtyard to become famous.
"Well, the disciple would like to ask Uncle Shi to teach him one lesson a day, two hours, and forty days, to teach the disciples some of the basics of the four great charms. Qin Xuan thought for a moment and made up his mind, "Five spirit crystals in one lesson, one lesson and one settlement." ”
"This ...... It's okay, Uncle Shi might as well be respectful and obey his fate!" Liu He lazily arched his hand and asked Qin Xuan, "Will you start teaching today?"
Qin Xuan nodded.
He mainly wanted to maintain excellence in the three classes of Array, Pill and Trial Array, and the other subjects should not be too bad, a few years ago, he had learned the foundation of talisman making in the Giant Wood Academy, but it was not enough to cope with the new science examination of the Star Academy.
Liu E's talisman making method is a vein of the stars, although he is a four-grade talisman master, his level is not high, but he has been making low-level talismans all his life, he has rich experience, and he must have accumulated a lot of useful tips, which is suitable for coping with the big exam.
Seeing this uncle, Qin Xuan was very looking forward to it, feeling that he was very lucky, but unfortunately, Liu He didn't want to pass on the experience he had accumulated in his life to him, and the first lesson was purely foolish and general.
At the end of the two-hour lesson, Liu He talked about a lot of fundamental theories, and felt that his unique insights were enough to make a country boy shocked.
Qin Xuan listened silently, and indeed clapped his hands from time to time, and also made a decision to Liu He in his heart: frivolous people deserve to not find a place in Zixia Courtyard.
"Is today's lesson over, Uncle Shi?" Qin Xuan asked him.
Liu He stroked his beard with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll talk about these things today, my nephew will ponder my uncle's words at night, and I will definitely benefit for life in the future." ”
"That's it, I'll find another talisman tomorrow, a few gentlemen will talk about it differently, I think it might be better. Qin Xuan took out five spirit crystals and got up to see off the guests.
"This ...... It's okay!" Liu He was slightly startled, didn't dare to get angry in front of him, and left with anger.
He was not stupid, of course he knew that Qin Xuan was very dissatisfied, and directly decided to replace him.
Substitution?
You Shiyuan Qin family, a small family in the countryside, can invite a four-grade talisman master like Uncle Ben to teach you, do you dare to be dissatisfied?
Liu He had a kind of shame and anger that he dared to bully me, and he was indignant all the way, so he simply buried his head and ran back to the Fu Shi Hall in the Stone Garden, but what made him feel even more humiliated was that Mu Wanqing followed closely behind, entered the Fu Shi Hall and shouted a few times, asking another four-grade Fu Master who was born in loose cultivation to leave.
Two hours later, Mu Wanqing came back again to invite the two third-grade rune masters of the Fu Shi Hall, one was Mao Jiuweng in his old age, the other was Mao Jiuweng's daughter Mao Gu, and the rest were second-grade rune masters from the two families of Qin Mu on the island, and they were still in the apprenticeship period, so they naturally couldn't afford to teach Qin Xuan.
Liu He sat in his room and looked at each other indifferently, secretly laughing, even Uncle Ben dared to find fault, how can you be a country boy who can invite a non-mainstream talisman master?
It's getting dark.
Liu He had no intention of practicing, and his spiritual sense shrouded Fu Shitang, and he didn't wait for Mao Jiuweng and his daughter to come back, secretly a little worried, and said in his heart: It's not good, although the level of these two people is very poor, they are not worthy of carrying shoes to Uncle Ben, but the country boy is also illiterate, if he just talks about some basic know-how, the little thing thinks that the other party has a level, and he may always let them teach.
He was a little distressed at this time, forty classes, and the teachers of two hundred spirit crystals were still very precious.
He didn't sleep all night until the next morning, and still didn't see the father and daughter of the Mao family come back, and he couldn't help but worry, Mu Wanqing just entered the Fu Shi Hall at this time, invited him and another four-grade Fu Master, and instructed: "The two of you may be busy recently, Mao Jiuweng and Mao Gu Fu Shi have been invited to the Bamboo Scripture Building to practice, and it is temporarily inconvenient to make talismans. ”
Liu Yi's eyes lifted, he couldn't bear this evil breath in his heart, and immediately gave up his hand coldly: "Miss Mu, Liu has another high position, if there is nothing to talk about, please settle Liu's monthly salary and send Liu away." ”
Mu Wanqing was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It's good to say, I will definitely not treat Master Liu Fu badly, follow me to settle the monthly salary, but Spirit Whale Island is remote and remote, and it is rare to have a ship in and out for a year and a half, so I can only send a flying talisman." ”
"Liu himself is a dignified four-grade talisman master, how can a disciple of the Xingchen Sect be born without a flying talisman, since there is no ship to send, Liu will leave the talisman. Liu He flicked his sleeves and sneered, then turned around and asked the other fourth-grade talisman master who was about thirty years old, "Master Hu, you have also suffered the humiliation of dismissal and teaching, it is the year of blood and qi, but you don't even have this backbone?"
He was already willing to be mediocre and wanted to spend his days idly on Spirit Whale Island, but he was unexpectedly washed away by a nephew, and his face was really embarrassing.
"No, could it be that the senior has been dismissed?" Hu Fushi looked surprised and looked at Liu He dumbfounded, "The little family master is very satisfied with my schoolwork, and deliberately doubled the teacher, the original three spirit crystals in one lesson, now five spirit crystals in one lesson." This is a high price, Hu is mediocre, where can I find such a generous treatment. ”
"Huh?" Liu felt like he was being stepped on.
"Senior, after all, the little family master just wants to learn some talisman basics and know-how to cope with the assessment of the Daoist Academy, you can't rely on the identity of the sect's master uncle to be too strict with him, let alone be too harsh. ”
Hu Fushi sighed with sincere emotion, and seemed to really feel that Liu He's requirements were too strict, which angered the little family master, and put on a humble posture of persuasion from the younger generation.
He snickered madly in his heart, and said: "The foundation of the little family master is a little shallow, but he has a good understanding, he must have read a lot of talisman classics before, and the level of the younger generation is much worse than yours, but it only took two hours to pass on to him the six methods of making talismans, and he will learn it, and his progress can be called fast." ”
His level, experience and insight are all inferior to Liu E, after all, one is a casual cultivator, and the other is from a sect, when Liu He came to apply, he was afraid and hated.
At the beginning, it was recommended by Qiu Yaopo, who usually took care of him, saying that Shiyuan was of the same origin as him and would definitely reuse him.
He has been wandering around the Giant Wood Sea for twenty years, and after the death of the master of the arts, he has always wanted to take refuge in a small sect like the Qin family in Shiyuan to practice in peace, and he can win the position of a chief talisman master.
As long as he becomes the chief talisman master of the other family, he will have the opportunity to study the scriptures of this family, so that he can completely study the six subjects and seven roots, get rid of the humble helplessness of scattered cultivation, and even learn the authentic exercises of the star lineage.
Liu He understood that he had smashed his job, and he didn't care about Hu Fushi's persuasion and sarcasm, and asked Mu Wanqing, "Miss Mu, what is the situation between Mao Jiuweng and his daughter?"
"Well, this ......!" Mu Wanqing didn't want to say, but at this time, she wanted Liu He to hold back a little more, and said with emotion: "It's all fate, their father and daughter speak more exquisitely, concentrate on teaching the method of taking the exam, and the little family head specially arranged for them to practice in the forbidden land of Zhuhai." Tsk, even I have to envy three points of this treatment. ”
"Ah, that's a good treat. Master Hu Fu observed the words and looks, and saw that Mu Wanqing deliberately stimulated Liu Yi, and showed a look of great envy very cooperatively, and sighed again, "Senior Liu, if you want to talk about the test-taking method of the Xingchen Daoist Academy, how can we be familiar with you." The little family master is generous, if you really help him pass the big exam, he will definitely be able to cultivate in the Bamboo Sea Forbidden Land in the future, and it will be easy to break through to the Spirit Forging Realm. ”
Liu He glared at him angrily, eager to chop him into mashed meat, only then did he understand that the other party had been respectful to him on the surface for several months, and he was a senior, but he had long wanted to squeeze him out of the stone garden.
Master Hu still sighed, as if he was really sad and sad for Liu E's predecessors, and his heart also quietly floated, thinking of what Qiu Yaopo told him before leaving.
