Seeing Li Dong come back, Lu Zhong was inexplicably relieved.
The area around Qingliu Ruins has become increasingly unstable recently. In the past two days, he heard that a nearby mortal village had been massacred. Even the disciples of the Qingyang Sect who went to check on the situation died there, and even their souls were sucked away by the demonic cultivators.
"Rong Niang, please take this baby to take a bath first, and then get him some delicious food." After Li Dong entered the house from outside, he handed the boy to the woman, and then looked towards
Lu Zhong, "Decided? Then follow me to the talisman-making room inside."
Lu Zhong nodded and followed quickly.
On the right side of the living room, there is a small door separated by a curtain, and behind it is Li Dong's talisman making room.
Even though it was not his first time here, when he saw this Talisman Making Room again, he couldn't help but feel envious in his heart.
This is a small room measuring three feet square, and it can be seen that it has been carefully decorated.
On the wall facing the door is an antique bookshelf, which is densely packed with books.
Judging from the yellowed pages, they should all be ancient books that have been dated.
On the left hand side of the door, there is a sandalwood talisman table facing the vegetable garden behind the house. A flawless white animal skin is spread out as a tablecloth, and a set of fine talisman-making tools is placed on it.
Next to the solid wood talisman table, there is a high table with a small brass incense burner.
The small brass incense burner is very exquisite in workmanship, obviously crafted by famous craftsmen. The incense added in it is also extraordinary. It not only has a light and unique fragrance, but also has a calming effect.
"If you make a talisman in this environment, the success rate can be increased by 10%, right?" Lu Zhong thought to himself.
The two of them walked to the talisman-making table and stood there, one behind the other.
"According to the previous agreement, Fellow Daoist Lu must pay me twenty-five spirit stones. I don't know, friend..." Li Dong stopped here and turned to look at Lu Zhong quietly, as if waiting for something.
"It's ready!" Lu Zhong took out a small bag from his arms, and the spiritual stones in the bag rattled.
Li Dong weighed it, and finally a smile appeared on his wrinkled face.
At this time, there was a burst of crying from the side, and Li Dong's expression suddenly changed. He twisted his beard and said: "Without further delay, I will teach you how to draw an arrow-avoiding talisman now. The time limit for the incense to burn out is as long as you can learn it."
How much depends on the ability of fellow Taoist, is there no problem with this?"
"No problem!" Lu Zhong nodded excitedly.
…
The incense was lit, and the room where the talisman was made was immediately enveloped in an elegant and refreshing fragrance.
In front of the talisman-making table, Li Dong picked up an arrow-avoiding talisman and began to explain it to Lu Zhong.
"Regarding the method of making arrow-avoiding talismans, different regions and different talisman-making schools will have different effects of the arrow-avoiding talismans spread. For example, here, I learned the method of making the talisman-making sect Qixuanmen, and
It’s called the Qixuan Arrow Avoidance Talisman.”
"Once upon a time, this Seven Mysterious Arrow Avoiding Talisman was also a kind of secret talisman. Compared with other arrow avoiding talismans, its effect could be said to be even better. Its ability to resist flying objects was extremely strong, and it lasted for ten years.
Rest for a long time."
Lu Zhong couldn't help but nodded, and was surprised in his heart.
He originally thought that all talismans had only one painting method.
But I never thought that even arrow-avoiding talismans would have different effects due to different regions and different talisman-making schools.
On the other side, Li Dong continued to talk.
"As for the origin of the Qixuan Arrow Avoidance Talisman, Taoist friends only need to briefly understand it. The following is the drawing method of this talisman."
As he spoke, he took out a blank piece of talisman paper, picked up the talisman pen and began to draw the Seven Mysterious Arrow Avoidance Talisman.
Li Dong will explain each stroke in detail.
"...A talisman is essentially the shape of a great road. When we talisman makers draw talismans, we are equivalent to copying them. Therefore, we must not only copy them when drawing, but also copy the flow of spiritual power... The Seven Mysterious Arrow Avoidance Talisman is the most
The most difficult thing to draw is the upper part of the talisman gallbladder. Even though there are only eighteen strokes, it is a test of the basic skills of the talisman maker."
"Basic skills?" Lu Zhong was stunned and blurted out subconsciously.
"So he is self-taught?" Li Dong paused, raised his head and looked at Lu Zhong, suddenly laughed and shook his head and said: "What are the basic skills of a Talisman Maker? You can check it out yourself, fellow Taoist. This is not true.
It’s in the guidance content that was promised.”
Hearing this, Lu Zhong felt sulky in his heart.
But soon, he figured it out.
The two of them are neither relatives nor friends, and the drawing of a talisman is just a transaction.
It makes sense that Li Dong doesn't want to talk nonsense, after all, he won't get half the benefit of doing so.
In order not to offend the other party, Lu Zhong had no choice but to forget what happened just now and continue to listen.
"The lower part of the talisman of the Qixuan Arrow Avoidance Talisman is what distinguishes it from the general arrow avoidance talisman. Here, seven strokes are used to form a talisman flower, thus changing the effect of the original arrow evasion talisman. When drawing the talisman, you need to pay attention to the spiritual power.
The transport must burst out suddenly, causing it to pour in like a torrent. You need to slowly explore this yourself. I can't explain it by just talking..."
When Li Donghua came here, his breath suddenly lifted, and the talisman pen in his hand glowed.
Lu Zhong's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to blink anymore.
In an instant, a seven-stroke talisman flower bloomed.
Looking at the talisman paper with the light gradually fading away, Lu Zhong knew that a Qixuan Arrow Avoidance Talisman had been drawn just like this.
Seeing that there was still a short period of time before the incense burned out, Li Dong raised his head and looked at Lu Zhong, and said slowly: "If you have any questions about the Qixuan Arrow Avoidance Talisman, I will answer them for you before the incense burns out."
"Then you're welcome!" Lu Zhong waited for this moment for a long time and quickly told the unclear question he was about to ask.
Li Dong answered this in detail one by one.
One question, two questions...
Lu Zhong gained a lot from the process, which would save him a lot of time in future talisman-making exercises.
But when he asked the sixth question, the incense in the copper furnace finally burned out.
Seeing the incense burnt out, Li Dong immediately kept silent and picked up the tea that had been cooling for a long time on the table.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong could only hand his way and say goodbye.
After walking out of Li Dong's house, Lu Zhong felt that he had gained a lot even though he was sulking in his heart.
At least he knows how to draw the Qixuan Arrow Avoidance Talisman, and understands that a Talisman Maker has basic skills.
Especially the latter, if you can understand it clearly, perhaps after special training, it will be of great benefit to your future career in making talismans.
Maybe Lu Zhong will be able to grow step by step based on this, and eventually become a famous talisman maker like Li Dong.
…
In the following days, Lu Zhong stayed at home and practiced drawing talismans.
Every ten times he practiced, he would enter the gray fog space, check his memory of the symbols he had just drawn, and then analyze and compare his memory with Li Dong's guidance, looking for errors and shortcomings in it, and making improvements step by step.
Just six days later, he finally drew a Seven Mysterious Arrow Avoidance Talisman.
"Huh, it's not easy!"
Lu Zhong didn't even know how he persisted in these six days.
It can be said that except for his unwavering daily practice and the short but pleasant meal time, all his time was spent on practicing the arrow avoidance talisman.
Looking at the arrow-avoiding talisman in his hand, whose light was gradually fading, he suddenly wanted to see its specific effect.
