After a lot of effort, the two of them were able to get rid of the bone demon.
Back on the ground, it was not yet time for the sun to set. Occasionally, a ray of sunlight passed through the overlapping clouds and fell on the gray-black land to form patches of golden light. It was a good sight if you were leisurely.
But now Lu Zhong had no intention of looking at the scenery. He ran for more than ten miles before leaning on a huge rock to rest.
"Fellow Daoist Li, since I have helped you collect the coffin fungus, when will the method of making the exorcism talisman be taught to you?" Lu Zhong turned his head, looked at the disheveled Li Dong next to him, and asked about the previous agreement.
When Li Dong, who was resting on the side, heard this, he stood up from the ground and straightened his clothes.
"I will teach you as soon as I return to Qingliufang."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Lu Zhong nodded.
After enough rest, the two started on their way again.
…
Li Dongjia's talisman making room.
After giving the coffin fungus to the boy, Li Dong finally had a smile on his face. He raised his hands and said, "Thank you Daoist Lu for your help. An'er is much better now."
Then he walked to the talisman-making table and began to teach how to make the talisman to exorcise evil spirits.
"As for the drawing of the exorcism talisman, the main difficulty lies in the gallbladder. Fellow Daoist Lu has not yet mastered the basic skills of making talismans, so it is a bit troublesome to figure it out. However, for the sake of you and I, who are traveling together in the general's tomb, you can feel free to ask questions later.
, I will answer it for free, now let’s take a look at my drawing..."
With that said, Li Dong picked up the talisman pen on the table and began to write on a piece of talisman paper.
Lu Zhong noticed at this time that the talisman pen in his hand was obviously changed to a new one. It didn't look as good as the previous one. He couldn't help but said: "It seems that what Li Dong said before is not false at all."
But as long as the talisman maker still has his skills, he can still draw the talisman.
After three consecutive failures, Li Dong finally drew an exorcism charm.
Surprisingly, he actually activated this talisman, which was worth one spirit stone on the market.
"Do you think this is a waste of spiritual talismans, Fellow Daoist Lu?"
Li Dong shook the exorcism talisman in his hand and began to explain with a smile: "In addition to the difficulty of making the exorcism talisman, there is another point that requires extra attention, and that is to make the exorcism talisman contain enough yang energy. This is what determines this
The important factor in the power of the talisman is that I just used ordinary talisman ink. Look at the aura inspired by this exorcism talisman. Is it very weak?"
Lu Zhong took a look and found that it was really like this, so he couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.
"In order to make the exorcism talisman contain Yang energy, the talisman maker must either choose to make the talisman at noon when the Yang spirit energy is strongest, or add yang energy additives such as blazing sun stones to the talisman ink, so that the exorcism talisman has normal power.
Yes. Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of the former is that the cost of making amulets is low, but the disadvantage is that the quality of the amulets produced is unstable and will be significantly affected by the concentration of Yang Qi. The latter is better than the amulets produced with stable quality.
, but the cost is much higher.”
After Li Dong explained, he couldn't help but glance in the direction of the bedroom, then turned around and asked: "If there is anything you don't understand during the process of drawing the talisman just now, fellow Taoist disciples can ask freely now."
"Okay!" Lu Zhong nodded, clearing up all the doubts in his mind.
…
It was not until dawn that Lu Zhong walked out of Li Dong's house.
He has already understood the difficulties in drawing the exorcism talisman one by one. As long as he goes back to practice, he will probably be able to draw this kind of talisman in less than half a month.
When he walked to the street and saw the flow of people on the road, he remembered that today was market day.
"Forget it, I don't have many finished products anyway, so I won't go out this time." Lu Zhong made a decision and walked quickly along the street, occasionally stopping to say hello to acquaintances and walking towards his small courtyard.
go.
In the following time, Lu Zhong learned the basics of making talismans during the day, and applied what he learned at night, putting the knowledge he learned into practice in drawing exorcism talismans.
After practicing, he also gained a deeper understanding of the knowledge he learned.
With the promotion of the two factors, the progress of learning and practice soared, and it took only nine days to successfully draw the first exorcism charm.
Due to the wrong timing of drawing the talisman, this evil-repelling talisman is a defective one.
Based on the idea that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, Lu Zhong still put it into a storage bag and prepared to sell it at one-tenth of the price, which could be regarded as recovering some of the capital.
With nothing to say, he picked up the talisman pen and continued practicing.
"...The head of the talisman is ready, and the next step is the gallbladder. After learning the basics of making talisman, it feels like I have divine help when I draw the talisman. I know exactly how to draw each stroke, and I am no longer like before.
It's like relying on each other."
With this thought in his mind, Lu Zhong's hand never stopped writing.
I saw a faint light slowly shrinking, and another evil amulet was made.
Likewise, this one is also a defective product.
It was late at night at this moment, and where did the yang energy come from for the talisman to absorb, so its power was not even as powerful as the previous one.
"There is not much spiritual power left, so I will practice here for today."
Lu Zhong moved his somewhat stiff body, thinking whether he should go out and buy some Sunstones tomorrow, lest the exorcism charms he drew then become defective products with insufficient power.
"Just buy some. It won't cost much at all. It's just right for you to practice making fu ink."
I fell into bed and fell asleep, having a dreamless night.
…
Early the next morning, Lu Zhong crawled out of bed.
Looking at the dusty clothes, he frowned, took out a cleaning charm from his storage bag, activated it and patted it on his body, feeling refreshed all over his body.
Then he came to a shop that specialized in selling materials, and Lu Zhong told him the purpose of his visit.
Unexpectedly, the customer in the store showed surprise when he heard that he was here to buy Lieyang Stone.
"Fellow Taoist, don't you know that the supply of Lieyang Stone has been cut off recently? Only Qingxi Ling Iron Mine produces Lieyang Stone near Qingliufang. Now the turmoil there has just subsided. If Fellow Daoist really needs this thing urgently,
I advise you to go to Yandang Mountain to buy."
"Why go to Yandang Mountain? Aren't there two material shops in the square?" Lu Zhong looked puzzled.
"Hehe, it seems that Taoist friend doesn't know much..." Zhike smiled, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong immediately understood and silently handed out two cleansing charms.
Na Zhike accepted the benefit and then continued.
"Let's be honest, those two shops do have other sources of Sunstones, but they will never sell them to outsiders, because the forces behind the two shops each control a talisman shop."
When Zhike said this, he showed a "you know what" expression.
"I see……"
After hearing this, Lu Zhong felt helpless.
Obviously, this is another big businessman joining forces to create a monopoly.
By refusing to sell the Sunstones in their hands, they can create the illusion that exorcism talismans are scarce, and then naturally push up the selling price, and then earn astonishing profits.
The key to this matter lies in Qingxi Ling Iron Mine. As long as it does not resume normal production, this situation of soaring prices will continue.
In this regard, Lu Zhong had no choice but to find another way.
