In such a time, Bu Operator "worshipped" Diao Xiaosi's door for more than a month.
He is bound to appear in front of the master's bed on time every day on the fifth watch, no matter whether Diao Xiaosi locks the door, arranges the array, and puts incense...... Rain or shine, never miss work. So much so that within a few days, every fifth watch, Diao Xiaosi would jump up from the bed screaming, so as not to dream of holding the old blind man's head again.
He spent most of his mornings in talisman making. Because he had learned talisman making from the dead old man for a few years earlier, and he could also refine several simple exorcism talismans, Diao Xiaosi was very quick to get started when refining the Heavenly Thunder Splitting Talisman.
As the saying goes, one law can be used, and one hundred laws can be used. The art of talisman making, in the final analysis, is to move a number of talisman arrays to special rune paper, wood chips, tortoise shells, gold and stones, pearls and jade, so that they can release the energy of the formation when necessary, or move mountains and seas or stealth and escape, and so on.
However, for Diao Xiaosi, refining a five-grade Dao talisman is still the first time for the old man to sit in a sedan chair.
It took him seven days to thoroughly understand the structure of the runes, and then it took five days to figure out the characteristics and functions of the various refining materials, and then he began to use the rune pen to carefully try to make them on the rune paper.
On the first day, Diao Xiaosi drew 21 mistakes. Bu Operator was neither angry nor furious, but only said lightly something that made Diao Xiao's four-legged feet hurt for half a month: "This pile of waste paper cost 1,360 taels of silver." ”
So the results were immediate, and the next day, Diao Xiaosi's mistakes plummeted to six. Then there were two places on the third day, and on the fourth and fifth days, for two days in a row he did not make a single mistake.
The master's excellent ability to correct mistakes can't help but make the divination operator who is a disciple feel the power of silver.
So in the early morning of the sixth day, when Diao Xiaosi was about to officially put pen to paper on the Heavenly Tortoise Shell to make talismans, Bu Zhuanzi solemnly introduced: "This Heavenly Tortoise Shell was snatched by the disciple from an elder of the Hanging Moon Pavilion in the South China Sea, and if it is sold on the black market, it can be sold for one hundred and fifty taels of gold. ”
Soon, Bu Operator regretted that he had said such a sentence too much-but hearing the slight sound of "popping", Diao Xiaosi's hand shook, and the talisman pen full of spiritual juice fell mercilessly onto the piece of heavenly tortoise shell.
Then he heard his master scratch his head embarrassedly, and said embarrassedly: "Apprentice, why don't you go to that Hanging Moon Pavilion elder again and grab a few more pieces back?"
Bu Operator let out a sad cry in his heart, his face was distorted and silent for a long time, and then he exhaled lightly and said, "It's okay, the apprentice just has a few pieces on hand." When it's all gone, let's grab it again. ”
After saying this, Bu Operator immediately regretted it, and sure enough, Diao Xiaosi was relieved and said: "Say it earlier, since the Heavenly Tortoise Shell can be obtained without spending money, then let it go for the teacher!"
Fortunately, the effect of the second piece of Heavenly Tortoise Shell was good, and a five-grade Heavenly Thunder Splitting Talisman was finally refined into shape. It's just that the power is not satisfactory, and I am afraid that even the masters of the microscopic realm will not be able to blow up.
At the same time, Diao Xiaosi had also thoroughly comprehended the Thirty-six Heavenly Gang Star Array. Under the guidance of Bu Operator, he moved the entire Twenty-Eight Pleiades Star Array to his left arm to form an independent Zhou Tian small cycle, and the price paid was that the Suzaku Seven Rings had to change their kicks to punches.
Next, the process of integrating the Thirty-six Heavenly Gang Star Array into his body was much simpler. Compared to the trembling trembling of the Twenty-Eight Pleiades Star Array at the beginning, Diao Xiaosi has some experience, and with such a good disciple as Bu Operator protecting the Dharma by his side, it is difficult to come up with a basket.
As a result, Diao Xiaosi's skills have improved again, and the cold in his body can hardly be felt anymore, and all of them have turned into bubbling springs, which run endlessly in the meridians.
However, Diao Xiaosi found that even if the two star arrays had been integrated into his body, the true qi that could be activated was still limited, but this limited true qi was enough to fight hard with the masters of the Guanwei realm.
Under the joy, Diao Xiaosi's desire for knowledge became stronger and stronger, and he devoted himself to the comprehension of the Dayan Star Array like a madman.
The difficulty of the Dayan Star Array was undoubtedly much higher than that of the Thirty-six Tiangang Star Array, but he had cheap apprentices by his side, how could he not use it in vain? So the mantra that Diao Xiaosi often hung on his lips was naturally replaced: "Apprentice, for the teacher, I will test you first......
Bu Operator really kept his promise, turned a deaf ear to Diao Xiaosi's various evil deeds, and worked hard all day long to answer all questions, so that Wan'er couldn't stand it anymore.
On this day, on a whim, Diao Xiaosi took out the python sea magic bowl that he snatched from You Gu Sui's body, and asked, "Apprentice, do you know this baby?"
Bu Operatorzi took it and stroked it with his hand, and replied: "Master Qiqi, this thing should be the Python Sea Demon Bowl refined by the colorful old demon in his early years, and it is said that it was later passed on to his fourth disciple You Gu Sui. ”
Diao Xiaosi said happily: "Yes, you also have some knowledge." As a teacher, I will test you first, do you know how to drive this python sea magic bowl?"
Bu Operator said: "The master of the magic bowl must first erase the spiritual seal contained in the bowl, and then refine the spiritual seal by himself and replace it, so that you can drive this treasure as you like." ”
Diao Xiaosi said curiously: "What is the spirit seal? Well, you don't say that you know the Tao as a teacher, so you'd better say it simply." ”
Bu Zhuanmu said expressionlessly: "The so-called spirit seal is that the owner of the immortal soldier demon treasure planted a wisp of his spiritual sense into it with a rune as a medium, so as to communicate with its mind like an arm. And no matter how strong others are, they can't drive. ”
Diao Xiaosi suddenly realized, and pretended to mutter for a moment: "Actually, isn't this the same as the principle of opening a lock with a key? Why bother talking a lot, but still don't talk about the main points of how to eliminate the original spirit seal. ”
Bu Operator replied: "The disciple tried to penetrate a wisp of spiritual sense into the bowl, and he has sensed the existence of the spiritual seal. It takes a lot of effort to get rid of it, and the most troublesome thing is to collect some refining materials. ”
Diao Xiaosi slapped the table and said, "Okay, let's go to the street to buy it." ”
Bu Operator shook his head and said, "It's still early, I'm afraid the market hasn't opened yet." ”
Diao Xiaosi was stunned, and woke up: "If you don't open the door during the day, could it be that the things you want can only be obtained on the black market?"
Bu Operator nodded, Diao Xiaosi patted his chest and said, "No problem, this matter is wrapped up in the teacher." Later you open a list, and we'll go to the black market and buy it. ”
Bu Operator said: "Another disciple has something unclear, so he must ask the master for advice." I wonder how long the master has been collecting this python sea magic bowl?"
Diao Xiaosi replied: "It's been more than a month, I haven't had time to study yet, so I'll just take it to you to practice." ”
Bu Operator didn't poke at this guy's big words, and said: "So it hasn't been recuperated for dozens of days. ”
Diao Xiaosi's ears immediately stood up, and he listened attentively to the divination operator and continued: "After the Great Immortal Soldiers and Demon Treasures are refined, they all need to be carefully cultivated, first, to absorb the essence of heaven and earth to accumulate aura, and second, to communicate with the master's mind to improve spirituality. Otherwise, the aura will not gain anything, and the spirituality will diminish day by day. ”
Diao Xiaosi's eyes rolled and said, "If the teacher hands over this magic bowl to you to recuperate, how can you ensure that its aura is increasing day by day and its spirituality is immortal?"
Bu Operator said calmly: "Like this python sea magic bowl, the best way to warm up is to soak it in blood and moisten it with yuanyin." ”
Rao is Diao Xiaosi has been dealing with dead people for more than ten years, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be startled and said, "You mean to use human blood and virgin Yuan Yin?"
Bu Operator replied: "Master Mingjian, disciple admires." ”
Diao Xiaosi scolded in his stomach: "Bullshit Mingjian, where did Lao Tzu find so many people's blood and virgins for you?"
As if he had seen through Diao Xiaosi's thoughts, Bu Zhuanzi continued: "It's just that this party is too cruel and has a dry Tianhe, and the master of the Demon Treasure is very ominous. ”
Diao Xiaosi nodded again and again: "Yes, isn't that bald donkey just a violent death wilderness?"
Bu Zhuanzi smiled and said: "After this reminder from the master, the disciple thought of an alternative method, we can use the spiritual juice refined by the Yinshan Golden Egg Worm to warm this treasure, and the effect is not much different." ”
Diao Xiaosi said to himself: "Yin Mountain is not close to here. ”
Bu Operator said: "Master don't need to worry, this thing should be available on the Jiangzhou black market." ”
Diao Xiaosi looked at the sky outside the window and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to have a good meal for the teacher, and then we'll go to the black market." ”
The two of them went out of the dart game, Diao Xiaosi found a nearby home-cooked restaurant and ordered four dishes and one soup, and when the two of them finished eating, they would go out of the restaurant after the sky was dark.
Bu Operator took Diao Xiaosi to the outskirts of Jiangzhou, and after nightfall, there was no one on the way, and occasionally one or two wild beasts jumped out of the bushes, startling a stall of night birds on the branches.
Diao Xiaosi saw that the surroundings were getting more and more desolate, and couldn't help asking, "That...... How far do we have to go?"
Bu Operator knocked on the black bamboo cane and said, "The front is here." ”
Diao Xiaosi looked forward, and he couldn't see anything clearly in the dark, but he heard the faint sound of the river flowing, as if he had arrived at the riverside.
Sure enough, the two of them walked out of Lixu again and came to a rocky beach on the bank of the Yushui River.
Bu Operator stopped and said: "On the first and fifteenth day of each month, there will be two markets here. Many things that are not available on the street or are difficult to get rid of are taken to the black market to be bought and sold. After that, he took out two masks from his cuffs, one for himself, and the other for Diao Xiaosi: "All those who participate in the black market will not reveal their identities, even if they don't mind others knowing, they must abide by the rules here." ”
Diao Xiaosi said "oh" and put on the mask, feeling a burst of novelty and excitement in his heart.
At this time, he saw that the fortune operator listened attentively and said, "It's going to start." ”
Diao Xiaosi stared at it, and saw two or three green fishing fires lit up on the river. Soon after, more colorful fishing fires were lit, and boats broke through the waves and headed for the rocky beach.
At about the same time, dozens of figures appeared one after another in the rocky beach, and it was obvious that they had long been hidden on the sidelines, just waiting for the market to open.
Bu Operator said slowly: "The black market in Jiangzhou is not much more depressed and deserted than Jiangling. However, the refining materials that the master needs should be available, it just depends on the price. ”
Diao Xiaosi couldn't help but ask: "What if I meet the owner who asks for a lot of money or is bought by someone else?"
A trace of coldness escaped from the corner of Bu Operator's lips, and he replied in a calm tone: "Then grab it." ”
Diao Xiaosi was taken aback, and he could be regarded as appreciating the domineering and demeanor of the No. 2 black boss of the Twelve Serial Docks of the Yangtze River Waterway.
In the final analysis, he and the divination operator can be regarded as fellow practitioners. It's just that one is going to rob the living, while the other is going to rob whether he's dead or alive.
Suddenly hearing the muffled sound of "bang", a ship dropped its iron anchor, and the night market began.
