Chapter 45: Inheritance of Talisman Masters
Hearing Lu Zhong's words, Li Dong showed a bitter smile on his face:
"In order to save the dog, I have used all my savings. Why would I use the method of guiding fellow Taoists to make the first-level low-grade candlelight talismans to reward the general's journey to the tomb?"
Candlelight symbol?
Lu Zhong looked at Li Dong with a smile, thinking that the sales of this talisman was lower than that of the arduous arrow talisman.
There is no reason why he has never learned the candlelight talisman. This talisman is the most troublesome among the first-level low-level talismans, and its sales are also very sluggish. Except for those wandering cultivators who are adventurers in the wilderness, basically no one would be willing to buy such unpractical talismans.
The reason why it is not practical is in comparison.
Compared with the simple and easy-to-use candlelight technique and various cheap lighting sources, the candlelight symbol is indeed not very effective. Not only does it last for a short time, it is not as bright as the spell candlelight technique.
In addition, because of his disgust towards Li Dong, Lu Zhong also wanted to make him bleed.
"Fellow Daoist Li, should I add something else?"
"Haha..." Li Dong smiled awkwardly. He knew that the price he gave was not suitable. After hesitating for a while, he took out an animal skin package from his arms.
Untie the tether above, and the inside is covered with a yellowed book.
"This is a strange adventure in the past, and I got a book of the inheritance of the talisman maker. Although most of the contents are incomplete due to fire and insect worms, the initial foundation for talisman making and subsequent detailed explanations of talismans are missing. All that is missing is the various first-level middle-grade talisman making methods for the subsequent talismans."
When Lu Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but be moved.
The inheritance of the Talisman Maker is definitely what he wants most at the moment.
As a casual talisman maker, he has known nothing about the distinction between the various parts of the talisman and the meaning they each represent so far.
If you are lucky enough to learn how to make talismans, you will have a mist space.
Lu Zhong took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I don't know whether this thing is true or false, so you can show it to me first."
"...Yes!" Li Dong hesitated for a while and put the book on the desktop.
When Lu Zhong was about to pick it up, he was a little worried, and suddenly pressed his hand on the book, adding: "I only give you ten breaths, I think it's enough to tell the truth."
"No problem." Lu Zhong said cheerfully.
Only then did Li Dong move his hand pressing on the book away.
Lu Zhong picked up the inheritance of the talisman maker and immediately flipped it up quickly, so fast that it was more than ten lines at a glance.
It is better to say that it is flipping books than reading books.
Seeing this scene, Li Dong felt relieved.
With such a fast speed of reading, it is impossible to remember the contents of the book by relying solely on the eyes and memory of the Qi Refining Cultivator.
After a while, the ten breaths had arrived.
Lu Zhong finished turning the last page and returned the book to Li Dong without hesitation.
But I felt secretly happy in my heart, and the inheritance of the talisman maker was successfully obtained!
With the space of gray fog, he can completely rely on memory to read out the contents of the book.
A regretful expression appeared on his face, Lu Zhong shook his head and sighed: "This inheritance of the Talisman Maker is not what I want. I wonder if there is anything else for Fellow Daoist Li?"
Li Dong didn't expect that even the inheritance of the talisman maker could not make Lu Zhong moved.
Hearing this, he suddenly fell into deep thought.
After half a stick of incense, he raised his head and gritted his teeth and said, "I will teach you the method of exorcism!"
"Yes." Lu Zhong nodded directly.
The effect of the evil-exorcist talisman is not simple, it can be said to be a necessary talisman for fighting with demon cultivators.
Whether it is demonic energy, corpse energy or yin energy, this talisman can be used to expel it. When it hits zombies or ghosts, it can also harm them.
For the first-level intermediate talisman making methods like this, Li Dong is probably the only one who can do it in Qingliufang.
Other talisman makers such as Huang Shuyuan, or Dong Ruilin and others. According to Lu Zhong’s understanding of them, even though many of them have the middle stage of Qi Refining, they can draw arrow-avoiding talismans at most.
If he can master the evil-removing talisman, he can bite off a piece of cake that is only exclusive to the merchant.
But thinking of this, Lu Zhong did not agree directly. After all, no matter how good the money is, it is not as important as life.
"How about I'll give you a reply after three days?"
"One day, otherwise I would rather find someone else." Li Dong said with red eyes.
"Okay, that's one day!" Lu Zhong thought to himself, this little time is enough. "Before tomorrow evening, I will give a fellow Taoist an accurate answer."
It takes one day to collect information related to the general’s tomb, and I guess I can also collect some.
After sending Li Dong away, Lu Zhong closed the yard gate and immediately sat cross-legged on the bed.
Entering the gray fog space, I just read the memories of the talisman maker's inheritance and immediately emerged one by one.
At this time, he also discovered something was wrong.
"This ability is more appropriate than memory backtracking."
Turning the page at an extremely fast speed can still clearly trace the content of each page without any ambiguity.
From this point of view, it should obviously be scene backtracking.
Without thinking much, Lu Zhong began to read the talisman maker heritage that he had traced back.
It is worthy of the word "inheritance". This book called "Seven Xuan Fu Jing" really has a very detailed explanation of how to get started with talisman making.
"Qianxuan? Could it be the inheritance of Qixuanmen's talisman making…"
If you continue reading, first of all, you will introduce the origin of the Qixuanmen.
Lu Zhong skipped this point directly and ignored it.
Entering the main topic, it is about the composition of talismans.
The talisman consists of three parts, namely the talisman head, the talisman gallbladder, and the talisman feet.
The function of the talisman head is similar to the spell chanted by casting. The spell can sympathize with heaven and earth, and the spells are created by themselves. The ability of the talisman to work depends very much on the talisman head. The talisman must rely on the talisman head to sympathize with heaven and earth.
The words used to write the talisman head are called "runes" by the talisman makers.
There are twenty-four runes in total, and the book mentions that it is only one-third of the number of spells.
"In other words, there are 72 spells?" Lu Zhong recalled the spells he had learned. It seemed that he had only learned about ten spells, and he felt a little dizzy.
Twenty-four runes can form a talisman head by arranging and combining them.
Then comes the talisman, which is a copy of the true form of the Great Dao.
Speaking of this, the book mentions the basic skills of drawing talismans.
The first is the "Eight Methods of Yong's Character".
The talisman is composed of eight uninterrupted dots and lines, such as dots, horizontal, vertical, horizontal, horizontal, horizontal, horizontal, horizontal, horizontal, lift, fold, and hook.
There are also sayings about strokes.
For example, the center tip, the side tip, the exposed tip is free to turn, press the pen to lift the pen without turning the tip, and do not disperse the tip, etc.
Only by mastering the strokes and the tip of the pen can we analyze the various components of the talisman. The reason why professional talisman makers can learn to draw new talismans alone is because they have mastered these essential knowledge.
However, the book also specifically states that learning to draw new talismans is not that simple.
The reason is on the talisman feet.
