The sound outside the door immediately attracted the attention of the three people in the room.
Jian Anran had sorted out her mood by now, held her hair loosely with a hairpin made of sandalwood, and then opened the door.
Standing in the yard was the village chief, accompanied by several villagers.
As soon as they saw Jian Anran, everyone immediately surrounded her.
"Master Jian, we came here to find you early this morning."
The village chief rubbed his hands with a flattering smile on his face: "Didn't you say you wanted to visit the ancestral hall before? We prepared for it for a long time yesterday, so let's go now."
"Okay, I'll call them."
Jian Anran nodded in response, but before she could turn around, she was stopped by the village chief: "Wait, Master Jian!"
Facing Jian Anran's puzzled gaze, the village chief explained: "You also know that the thousand-year candle is enshrined in the ancestral hall. This is something that our village has protected from time to time. Naturally, we should pay more attention to it, so..."
He looked at Jian Anran and said the last words: "You can only follow us alone, the other two need to stay here."
Can she just go alone?
Jian Anran's brows furrowed.
It was not because she needed to go to the ancestral hall alone, but because she was worried that without her there, the people in the village would be unfavorable to Chu Yan and Jian Xingxing.
After all, there were people who wanted to kidnap Jian Xingxing yesterday.
"They are not outsiders."
Jian Anran's brows frowned slightly.
"Of course, we know this very well, but I'm sorry, Master Jian. This is the rule of our village. I hope you can understand."
Although the village chief still had a smile on his face, his eyes were cold and stern, and he didn't have any choice to refuse.
Jian Anran nodded slightly, thinking of the secret of Honglie Village, she still chose to endure it for the time being.
"Then you need to wait for me for a moment."
Jian Anran nodded slightly and pointed to the door of the room: "Since I am the only one going there, I need to explain to them."
"Okay, we'll wait for you at the door."
The village chief did not stop him this time, but spoke with a smile.
For some reason, Jian Anran always felt that this smile looked a little malicious.
She quickly walked to the room and closed the door.
After making sure that the door was closed and no one was eavesdropping, Jian Anran lowered her voice and said, "They only let me go alone, so you need to stay here now."
She reached out and patted Jian Xingxing's shoulder and warned: "Xingxing, after my sister leaves later, you have to protect Chu Yan, do you understand?"
"But I'm still a child, so how can I protect an adult?"
Jian Xingxing snorted arrogantly, with deep dissatisfaction in her voice.
He didn't even think about getting up and sleeping on the floor today!
Why do you still need him to protect cheap daddy?
This brat.
Jian Anran shook her head helplessly, then squatted down and hugged Jian Xingxing, and said warmly: "Because our Xingxing is a great child now and can do many things that children of the same age cannot."
Being praised, Jian Xingxing's eyes lit up.
really!
The person whom my mother loves the most in her heart is still him!
Thinking of this, the arrogant little guy finally felt better.
Seeing that the younger one was comforted, Jian Anran's eyes fell on Chu Yan.
The man raised his eyebrows calmly and said calmly: "What do you need me to do?"
"Just protect yourself."
Jian Anran thought for a moment, as if she suddenly thought of something, and suddenly there was a bit of smile in her eyes: "But speaking of which, I seem to have forgotten one thing. Since you call me master, you should learn some real skills.
It’s just for keeping close to you.”
When she smiles, even her eyebrows and eyes are curved, making people unable to bear to refuse.
Chu Yan's heart moved and he looked at her thoughtfully: "Okay, what do I need to do now?"
"I'll teach you how to draw some charms that can be used for simple self-defense."
Jian Anran took out some cinnabar and yellow paper from the small gourd and placed them in front of her.
She dipped a brush in cinnabar and skillfully drew something on the yellow paper that Chu Yan couldn't understand: "This charm can temporarily protect you from harm. I will draw it twice more, and then you can take a good look at every detail."
It all has to be the same.”
"If something is different and something goes wrong, then the effect of the spell will definitely be different."
Jian Anran warned carefully.
Chu Yan nodded slightly, lowered his eyes and looked at Jian Anran's movements seriously.
It must be said that Jian Anran's movements in drawing the talisman are smooth and elegant, making it a pleasing painting.
After watching Jian Anran draw twice, Chu Yan took the wolf brush from Jian Anran's hand.
"You can draw it first and let me see it."
Jian Anran spoke with some worry.
After all, it was the first time for ordinary people to come into contact with these things, so she was worried that Chu Yan would draw the wrong pictures.
"good."
Chu Yan took the pen. He did not take action immediately, but held his breath and recalled Jian Anran's actions just now.
Jian Xingxing stood nearby, with disdain written on his face, and hummed softly.
Not everyone can learn how to draw symbols immediately.
He didn't believe that this cheap dad could learn it in just two attempts. You know, even he took two days!
This is a very fast learning process in Qingyun Temple!
At this moment, Chu Yan began to write.
Jian Anran's eyes gradually became serious.
With a professional's vision, she didn't expect that Chu Yan's first drawing of a symbol would look a bit like it.
Until the entire spell was drawn, Chu Yan made no mistakes.
Although there are a few minor flaws, they are innocuous.
Because this spell is effective.
Although the effect is not as strong as what she painted.
Jian Xingxing's eyes widened in surprise, and she exclaimed in disbelief: "Is it fake?! It's definitely not your first time drawing a talisman! How can anyone succeed in it for the first time?!"
Originally, he planned to laugh at Chu Yan later!
Who knew this person was so talented!
Outrageous!
It’s so outrageous!
"It's indeed the first time."
Chu Yan spoke calmly.
There was no sense of pride in his expression.
"Very impressive."
Jian Anran praised her heartily.
She also didn't expect that Chu Yan's talent was so high, and he could even master it faster than she did.
More importantly, Chu Yan had never been exposed to such things as drawing symbols before.
Now that Chu Yan has mastered it, Jian Anran feels relieved.
"You'd better practice more and send me a message if you need anything."
Jian Anran shook her phone and walked towards the door.
A long time has passed now, and the village chief and others must be waiting impatiently at the door.
We can't let them doubt this.
"good,"
Chu Yan nodded, paused for a moment, and then added: "Pay attention to safety."
