Chapter 52: The Task of Doing Talismans
While walking towards the mountain, Nie Chao pointed to the environment on the mountain and said, "Overall, the task of assisting the talisman painter is still good. Outer disciples are generally recognized that the three tasks of refining weapons, alchemy, and drawing talismans are more technical than planting and captivity, and they can learn something. For example, auxiliary alchemy, can be more familiar with the performance of the magic weapon, for the future use of the magic weapon has a promoting effect, such as auxiliary alchemy, can better distinguish the color of the elixir, and breathe the breath of the elixir all day long, accumulating over time, which is extremely helpful to nourish the body. ...... These three tasks are not good luck or a little walking, and they are generally not easy to assign. However, the refining tools and alchemy are all in the belly of the Earth Fire Peak, and the heat is unbearable, and after a while, the complexion will be much darker, just like the people who burn boilers in the world. ”
Speaking of the complexion of the disciples of the Earth Fire Peak, Nie Chao himself couldn't help laughing, he pointed to the entire mountain peak and said, "There are about sixty people on the Talisman Drawing Peak, and there are more than two hundred disciples who assist them in their tasks. The talisman seals needed by this sect are all from this mountain, and a large number of talismans have three places, one is to hoard them in case of emergency, and the other is to sell them in the market outside the sect in exchange for spirit stones, and only a small part of them are outflowed, sold by some disciples, and sold in the outer gate market. ”
Luo Jiang listened.
"In addition, the talisman painter also takes on the task of carving the talisman array on the magic weapon, but there are no more than ten people who can take this kind of task on the entire mountain. ”
Nie Chao patted Luo Jiang on the shoulder, "Okay, my No. 12 building has arrived." You follow the road to the next junction and turn into Building 17. Bai Ziwan's talisman painter has a bad temper, you hurry up, if you can't even get in the door, you will be kicked out, you will become a new joke for the painter. ”
Nie Chao's last half-joking sentence was said by Luo Jiang with a chill, and his feet couldn't help but be a little faster.
According to the direction guided by Nie Chao, Luo Jiang stood in front of Building 17. From a distance, I saw a middle-aged man in a pine green robe scolding a disciple holding a jar, "Look at the talisman juice you concocted, it is not completely fused at all, it is as thin as something, how do you ask me to draw?
Luo Jiang's footsteps suddenly stopped, and after hearing this, the green tendons on his forehead jumped. Sure enough, it lives up to its name!
After a scolding session, the middle-aged man in a pine-green robe walked into the main hall, leaving an indignant young disciple gritting his teeth at the middle-aged man's back. Luo Jiang looked over, this disciple turned out to be an acquaintance, a senior brother of Qinghua Peak, who seemed to be called Li Jian. Li Jian is a third-level cultivator in the Qi cultivation period, and he can rank in the top five in Qinghua Peak, and he is one of the people close to Cao Cheng.
Li Jian looked at it, obviously recognized Luo Jiang, and felt even more embarrassed, he viciously threw the jar in his hand to the ground, and scolded Luo Jiang: "What do you see, can you die?"
"It's really good. Luo Jiang snorted coldly, remembering Li Jian in his heart, and then walked towards the main hall.
Standing in the hall of the main hall, Luo Jiang swept his eyes and found that the huge hall was divided into several areas, with various bottles and jars on one side, as well as some materials on the demon beasts, on the other side, a male disciple was processing materials, and a female disciple was taking care of the jars on the fire. And the middle-aged man in the pine green robe is drawing symbols.
The movement of Luo Jiang coming in immediately attracted the attention of the male and female disciples, and they looked at Luo Jiang with slightly curious eyes, and Luo Jiang was also looking at them. This male disciple is about twenty years old, and the female disciple is about the same age, thin and weak, and her appearance is also pretty.
Luo Jiang didn't speak immediately, and quietly watched the rune pen in the middle-aged man's hand swipe smoothly on the rune paper. Although the middle-aged man has a bad temper, he seems very quiet when he draws talismans, and the boring thing of drawing talismans has a smooth beauty like flowing clouds in his hands.
In comparison, Luo Jiang found that the middle-aged man's drawing level was more than one step higher than his own, and this Baiziwan painter did have real materials.
Bai Ziwan's speed of drawing talismans was much faster than Luo Jiang's, and seeing that he finished drawing in one go, Luo Jiang bowed down and said, "Master Bai, I am a new disciple of the mission to report, Luo Jiang." ”
Bai Ziwan put down the talisman pen, maybe because Luo Jiang didn't disturb him and let him see it for a while, and he didn't get angry immediately, but his eyes swept over Luo Jiang's body, and the good mood in his heart disappeared, and he frowned and said: "Is it okay to be so young?"
Hearing these words, the male and female disciples in the main hall were a little embarrassed, and the meaning of Bai Shi's words, it seemed that those who could stay were thick-skinned to a certain extent.
Luo Jiang didn't know how to answer, so he could only stand quietly.
After a pause, the white painting talisman master suddenly said: "Xiao Feizi, you take a piece of fire crystal to the newcomer, say the main point, let him grind it and try it, if it works, stay, if it doesn't work, get out of the house and change people." ”
The thin, weak but pretty-looking female disciple came over with a small tray the size of a spirit stone, and came to Luo Jiang's side, her voice weak, "You come with me." ”
The female disciple took Luo Jiang to a stone mill in the corner of the main hall, this stone mill was more than half a person high, two rocks were stacked together, there was a small eye in the middle of the upper rock, and there was a leak in the stack. Only with the naked eye, you can distinguish that the stone grinding material is very hard, the texture is delicate, and the hardness is probably not comparable with ordinary steel. However, it should also be very heavy to promote.
"My name is Murphy. ”
The female disciple whispered, she pointed to the fiery red crystal in the tray that emitted a scorching aura, and explained: "This fire crystal is the fire attribute essence condensed in the body of the fire attribute demon beast, and after grinding, it is the main material of the fire attribute talisman juice, you can use this stone mill to grind him." ”
Mo Fei didn't seem to have any experience as a teacher, Luo Jiang was not nervous, she was nervous first. lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Luo Jiang's eyes, his face was slightly red, and he bumped slightly after saying a paragraph.
"Thank you, Sister Murphy. Luo Jiang said sincerely.
Murphy turned to leave, took two steps and then suddenly turned around, reminding in a low voice, "Remember to grind it to pieces." ”
"Little Feizi. The angry voice of the white painting fu teacher sounded.
Murphy was immediately frightened and ran away.
Luo Jiang was glad that he had met a kind senior sister, and then began to pay attention to his work. He could clearly sense the burning breath in the fire crystal, so naturally he would not be stupid enough to touch it with his hands, and directly sent the fire crystal to the grinding disc with a tray.
Seeing that Luo Jiang put the fire crystal in the little eyes of the stone mill, and pushed his hands to the push rod of the stone mill, the white painting talisman master added, "If you can't push it, get out of here." ”
Luo Jiang took a deep breath and smiled bitterly in his heart, won't this white painting talisman master speak well?
Stretching out his hands to hold the wrist-thick push rod, Luo Jiang exerted force.
It's so heavy!
Luo Jiang felt that even if it was a cow, it might not be able to pull it. However, only this grinding power can grind the hard fire crystals.
However, Luo Jiang pushed it, and the grinding discs stacked on top of it began to rotate, and the fire crystals in them made a "crunch" sound.
It's really heavy!
Luo Jiang exerted all his strength, held the putter with both hands and put it on his chest, and pushed it with the strength of his whole body.
When the stone mill was fully pushed, Luo Jiang felt a little more relaxed, but after pushing it a few times, he was already sweating profusely.
"Hmm...... , you're turning. ”
Luo Jiang held back these words in his mouth, still pushing with one hand, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with one free hand. Seeing this scene, the white painter's mouth opened, and Mo Fei directly covered his mouth in surprise.
This stone mill is extremely heavy, and it is by no means comparable to the grinding in the world, and in the past, Li Jian and another disciple, Chen Lin, were also flushed. The two of them are physically stronger than Luo Jiang, and they are a few years older than Luo Jiang, but they are not as easy as Luo Jiang.
Luo Jiangcai didn't have the kung fu to pay attention to other people's thoughts, all his spirit was consumed by the stone grinding, he never thought that learning to make talisman juice would have to be pulled and milled like a donkey.
After grinding the fire crystals, the stone mill no longer sounded the sound of "crunching", and the tray under the stone mill leak also received a rub of fiery red powder.
Luo Jiang took the tray in front of his eyes and looked at it, endured the feeling of hot air, and found that there were still some small crystals, and couldn't help but shake his head, "No, it's too coarse." ”
Although Luo Jiang has no experience in handling materials, he has experience in drawing talismans and using talisman juice, and the talisman juice made by this roughness of Zhilu Dao must not work, because it is not thoroughly ground, which will affect the perfection of the combination of talisman juice and blank talisman paper.
So, Luo Jiang poured the mixture of powder and crystals in the tray back into the small eye, and pushed the stone mill to rotate again without too much difficulty.
