Chapter 63: Letter to the Family
Yi day
Three poles in the sun
Zhang Linfang got up and saw that it was getting late, so he asked the maid who was busy at the side: "Sister Jingxiang, what time is it?"
The busy maid put down her work and replied: "Go back to uncle, it's already noon."
"At noon?" Zhang Lin shook his head and said, "Drinking is a waste of time!" After saying that, he got up and washed up under the service of the maid Shizuka.
"By the way, how did I come back last night? Did Grandpa Jue know that I drank?" While washing, Zhang Lin suddenly remembered that he went drinking with Zhang Jue on his back last night, and asked Jingxiang quickly.
Jingxiang heard the words and said with a smile: "Back to uncle, Mr. Lin sent you back. The guard quietly carried you back to the backyard. Butler Gangjue came to see you. I already carried him away. I didn't know you went to drink last night.
liquor."
"That's good, that's good!"
When Zhang Lin heard this, he just wanted to thank God.
Because Zhang Lin has not been able to drink much since he was a child, he usually only drinks one cup at a time, and he also has a slight alcohol allergy, so Zhang Jue has never allowed himself to drink alcohol.
Last night, she and Lin Shen secretly went out to drink. Although it was a common occurrence, Lin Shen always brought her back secretly.
Or just go to Lin's house to spend the night, but Lin Shen didn't know why he went crazy last night, and he ran away after a disagreement.
I didn't pay attention for a while, but now it seems that it's lucky that this kid came back later, otherwise I would have stayed in Yuanlaiyuan last night, and someone would have called Zhengnan Mansion to pick someone up. Zhang Jue wouldn't know it by then, and it would be inevitable.
A sermon.
Knowing that it was Lin Shen who sent him back and Zhang Jue was not alarmed, Zhang Lin felt relieved and resumed his usual ordinary life. He went to school under Zhang Jue's escort every day, went to Liu He's place to practice calligraphy at noon, and spent the afternoon with the Lin family after school.
The eldest son went to have dinner together, occasionally with Cheng Wu or the two of them with him.
The peaceful days passed quickly until a letter from home broke the peace.
"Father and eldest brother are coming back. What's going on?" Zhang Lin put down the letter and looked at Zhang Jue in confusion.
Zhang Wei, father and son, are both generals of the Grade A legion in Astia. They should not return together. Otherwise, who will lead Zhang's army in Astia?
"Isn't it good to come back?" Zhang Jue asked doubtfully: "I haven't been home for seven or eight years, and the eldest and second young masters have been here for four or five years. It might as well come back and take a look."
"Grandpa Jue, do you really think so?" Zhang Lin said with a flat mouth: "I am not a three-year-old child. The empire is currently fighting a war in Astia. It is the time for the frontline to employ people. As a Class A Legion
The commander-in-chief of the army is not in charge of the three armies at this time, but he ran back..."
Zhang Lin looked at Zhang Jue and said: "Grandpa Jue, tell me honestly, has anything happened in the clan recently? Do you need them to come back to deal with it?"
Zhang Jue's brows twitched when he heard this, and he secretly thought that he was a descendant of the prince. His ability to peel off cocoons was as good as ever, but he said: "Everything is fine, young master, you are worrying too much. Is there anything in the family that I can hide from you, young master? Maybe it's the empire.
How about using suspicious soldiers? Anyway, it only takes a few hours to travel from Chengdu to Astia by taking the teleportation formation."
Zhang Lin touched his chin and thought carefully: "What you said, Grandpa Jue, makes some sense!"
"No matter what, just ask father what's going on with them. Since they are coming back, Grandpa Jue will notify the kitchen and ask the kitchen to buy more dishes and store them until father and the others come back, so that they can take care of them."
"Okay." Zhang Jue responded with a smile: "Don't worry, young master, I will arrange everything."
After he finished speaking, he asked: "Have you, Master, recently gone to Master Liu's place to practice calligraphy? How did you learn?"
Zhang Lin heard this and said: "Speaking of this, I still have something I haven't told you, Grandpa Jue.
Grandma Liu is really worthy of being a leading figure in the calligraphy world. My expectation of using calligraphy to enter the Talisman Dao has been overturned by her. Grandpa Jue, you didn't tell me earlier that using calligraphy like Kuang Cao to enter the Talisman Dao is absolutely undesirable.
The consumption of spiritual energy caused by splashing ink is really not something that ordinary people can afford.
According to Grandma Liu, I tried the five elements talisman and its advanced talisman. The fire talisman was okay and I didn’t feel much after drawing it. But for the water and fire talisman, I felt dizzy most of the time I started writing, not to mention the three talents talisman.
, I feel dizzy after just a few strokes, and I get a splitting headache if I continue.
So, if you don’t have enough spiritual energy, using cursive calligraphy to draw talismans is asking for death. You said that if I draw one stroke in one stroke, but find out halfway through that I don’t have enough spiritual energy, and I can’t take back the attached spiritual energy, then I won’t die.
You have to be an idiot."
Zhang Jue said: "Is it so serious?"
"That's how serious it is!"
"That's not right," Zhang Lin remembered Liu He's words and looked at Zhang Jue suspiciously.
Zhang Jue heard this and said: "Grandma Liu said you knew, Grandpa Jue, why didn't you tell me?"
"I don't know!" Zhang Jue returned with a confused look.
Seeing Zhang Lin's confusion, Zhang Jue said: "I saw that the people in my clan used wild cursive to draw symbols, and thought they were all the same."
Zhang Linda said: "Grandpa Jue, are you saying that Taoists all use wild grass to make talismans?"
"Not bad." Zhang Jue recalled: "When I was young, I had the honor to march with your grandfather Zhengnan Zhao Wang. In several battles, I saw senior Daomen take action. They all used wild cursive calligraphy to make talismans. So that day I saw the young master draw talismans.
When I was so interested, I just said that. Master, if you hadn’t told me, I would have thought that all the talismans were just crazy."
"Is that so?" Zhang Lin laughed and said, "Grandma Liu said that cursive calligraphy is a common technique used by Talisman Makers in battle. What they draw are those that they are already familiar with and cannot be familiar with anymore. They can pick them up casually, and they can
Basic talismans that do not consume much spiritual energy. When using those talismans to respond to the enemy, use other powerful talismans in the gaps to increase the combat ability of the talisman maker."
Zhang Jue suddenly said: "Is that so? It's no wonder. I said that every time I see them using talismans and seals, some of them don't look like they were drawn in a hurry.
Back then, when I saw those Taoist seniors taking action, I saw them volleying in the air to condense talismans, dozens or hundreds of them at random, but I didn't see them condensing powerful spiritual talismans, but powerful spiritual talismans appeared from time to time.
I always thought it was because they drew too fast and I didn’t see it clearly. It took them a long time to draw it but they took the time to use it during the battle. This is really a blind eye." Zhang Jue said, solemnly apologizing to Zhang Lin: "
It was all due to an old man's negligence, and he almost harmed the young master. Please punish the young master."
"Grandpa Jue, please get up quickly!" Zhang Lin quickly helped Zhang Jue up and said: "As the saying goes, he who doesn't know is not guilty. You don't understand Talisman Tao either. It was my own suggestion to enter Talisman Tao with calligraphy. Even if you didn't say it,
After all, I will discover how fast it is to make talismans with cursive calligraphy through exposure, and I will learn it. So, Grandpa Jue, what are your faults?
It turns out that Grandma Liu, whom you introduced to me, has done a great job. She told me the pros and cons from the beginning and saved me a lot of detours. It’s too late for me to thank you, let alone convict me.”
Zhang Jue felt ashamed and said: "Young Master..."
"Okay, Grandpa Jue!" Zhang Lin said with a smile: "You have watched my father and our generation grow up, how can you hurt me? It was an unintentional mistake. I don't need to mention it again in the future. My father
You're coming back, so be prepared.
The two of you haven't seen each other for a long time, and I'm afraid we'll have to talk all night long again, so I'd better deal with your things first, and then there will be a lot more, and after you finish talking, you'll be busy with other things."
Zhang Jue smiled when he heard this and said, "Thank you, Master, for reminding me, then I'll go and get busy!"
"Go and do your business, go and do your business!" Zhang Lin waved his hand, indicating to Zhang Jue to go and do his business, and not to worry about him. After Zhang Jue left, he began to study the rain-praying talisman among the talismans he had obtained.
Both the Rain Praying Talisman and the Thunder Drawing Talisman are spiritual-level talismans, but the quality of the Rain Praying Talisman is lower than that of the Thunder Drawing Talisman.
The quality of the thunder talisman is purple excellent, while the rain praying talisman is only purple excellent.
The Chaos Bead's evaluation of items is basically the same as Blue Star's evaluation of items.
For example, the evaluations of ordinary clothes, wooden sticks, etc. are all based on a whiteboard. Blue is average, blue is excellent, and blue is outstanding.
The items that are truly valuable and useful are basically above the blue ordinary level.
On top of it are spiritual-level items that can be used with aura, divided into four levels: purple ordinary, excellent, outstanding, and epic.
Further up are the acquired ultimate items that can be made by manpower. The lowest starting point is the excellent level, which is divided into: golden excellent, outstanding, epic, and legendary.
In the past thousands of years, the items that have appeared in Blue Star have the highest evaluation of the innate level, and the lowest evaluation of the three-color excellent level. As for the highest evaluation, I don’t know if there is one. Currently, the highest evaluation items in the world are those meteorites that fell from the sky, and the evaluation is: innate.
Colorful epic.
Therefore, people speculate that there is at least one evaluation on it that is called the Legend of Innate Colors.
But when Zhang Jue left Zhang Lin and returned to his room, a man dressed in black had been waiting there for a long time.
Zhang Jue saw him and asked, "Did anything unusual happen to the Third Young Master last night?"
The man in black replied: "Everything is normal, just like before, just pour one cup."
When Zhang Jue heard this, he frowned and said softly: "Where are the others?"
The man in black said: "The eldest son of the Lin family is a little weird. The first person to drink with the third son was his sister. He didn't know what he did, but he came later to send the young master back.
And his sister invited the third young master to attend her birthday party ten days later."
Zhang Jue heard this and chuckled: "It's nothing. I'm afraid she learned from her father that his father and the general intended to marry the two families, and the marriage partners were her and the third son, so she asked Hui to pretend to be his brother.
Come here, I’m afraid I just want to see who the third young master is!”
"That doesn't make sense!" The man in black said, "The third young master has spent the night at the Lin Mansion many times. The two of them must have known each other since they came here."
"Then I don't know!" Zhang Jue shook his head and said he didn't know either.
After all, they didn't know what happened to Zhang Lin in the Lin Mansion before. Every time Zhang Lin entered the Lin Mansion, their secret guards would say hello to the Lin Mansion and not pay much attention. After all, the guards were not surveillance.
The man in black nodded and said: "Cheng Wu, the eldest son of the Cheng family, is not simple at all. He deliberately approached the Lin family this time, but he didn't know what his purpose was."
As the eldest son of the General's Office in Western Sichuan, even if he has no brains, the Cheng family will help check which friends Cheng Wu should make.
Just like them, they can guarantee that Zhang Lin will not meet Zhang Lin's friends easily.
"Cheng family..." Upon hearing this, Zhang Jue closed his eyes and thought for a long time before saying, "Let's pay attention first and see if he goes to the Lin family or the Zhang family..."
"Okay! I will continue to pay attention."
