"Dad, everything is fine now, why are you sighing?"
Zhang Shuniang helped Zhang Yan into the bedroom, poured a cup of tea and handed it back to him. Seeing him sighing from time to time, she couldn't help but give advice.
"well……"
Zhang Yan held the tea cup, lowered his head and blew open the tea leaves subconsciously to drink the hot tea, but found that it was a cup of cold water, so he put it aside and sighed:
"Owing a favor is like a debt. This time the debt is so great that I don't know how to repay it in the future... After thinking about it, the only thing your father can do is the skill of the Light Body Talisman. It depends on whether he wants to learn it or not.
?”
As he spoke, he sighed again.
This is his ultimate skill.
This is how I eat.
Zhang Shuniang looked hesitant. After hesitating for a long time, she secretly said with her silver teeth: "Dad, in fact, uncle has been able to draw light body amulets for a long time. Recently, he has been learning amulets. I have never dared to tell you because I was afraid of your mood.
not good."
Zhang Yan's expression froze and he almost jumped up. He said with a look of disbelief: "This... this is impossible. How long has it been? He just learned the arrow-avoiding talisman last autumn. How can it be so easy to draw a talisman!"
It took him half a year to learn the arrow-avoiding talisman.
Then I spent another five years practicing repeatedly, day in and day out. During this period, all kinds of useless talismans were almost piled up. I spent countless sweats and energy, and then I gradually mastered the various arrow avoidance talismans.
The trick is to draw the talisman as if it were a god.
With one stroke, he would know roughly whether the talisman would work.
The success rate is as high as 50%.
As for the light body charm, it takes longer.
It took nearly ten years from the time he learned it to the present. It was only in recent years that the success rate was stable at 35%. He succeeded in drawing one out of three. Even so, he never thought about studying amulets.
First of all, his cultivation is only at the sixth level of Qi training, and his spiritual power in drawing amulets is relatively weak.
Secondly, the threshold for talismans is too high and too difficult. He has not even mastered the Light Body Talisman, and he does not dare to develop new and more difficult talismans.
Even he stayed away.
And Chen Wen, who came from a wild background and had a lot of problems, even taught him the basic skills of drawing talismans. How could He Dehe learn that amulet! How dare he learn that amulet!
Stronger than him.
He admitted it.
He is a talisman master who is not good at fighting.
His cultivation level is higher than his.
He also admitted it.
The qualifications may really be inferior.
But when it comes to drawing symbols.
This tender old boy is still a little tender.
"I'll go take a look. I want to see how he draws the light body charm... Humph, tens of thousands of tall buildings are rising from the ground. If you don't want to leave, you haven't even finished walking yet, so you just want to run away!" Zhang Yan snorted coldly, standing up.
When I got up, I was ready to go find Chen Li to clarify the truth.
Seeing this, Zhang Shuniang quickly held him back and said anxiously: "Dad, why did you think it was coming out all at once? It's so late now. Uncle and Aunt Zhou must have gone to bed long ago. Besides, there are still corpses outside!"
I don’t know whether it was the former reason that convinced him or the latter.
"Then wait until tomorrow!" Zhang Yan was dragged back to sit down by Zhang Shuniang, picked up the teacup and drank some water, glared at her and said, "Sooner or later I will be so angry with you that I don't know how to make a cup of tea."
"Then I'll boil the water now!" Zhang Shuniang said weakly, not knowing where she had made her father unhappy again.
"Forget it, it's already so late, go and have a rest early."
…
Morning.
In the Talisman Making Room.
The table was covered with miscellaneous items.
Various waste symbols are arranged in sequence according to the time they were drawn, occupying almost half of the desktop.
You should go through the process every time before drawing the talisman.
As a highly educated modern person, his logical and analytical abilities are better than those of most natives of this era. In addition, he is diligent in summarizing and good at taking notes.
In the process of letting him learn talismans and spells, although he may have bumps and bumps and the learning speed is not satisfactory, he has been able to make steady progress and walk on the right path.
After Chen Li read the waste talisman, he flipped through his research notes.
I took a Qi-tonifying pill, then closed my eyes and calmly adjusted my breath.
Soon he opened his eyes, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink and started drawing symbols.
"laugh!"
The first one was scrapped.
Green smoke rose violently, and the smell of burnt food filled the air.
Chen Li also ignored it.
Continue to draw the second picture.
fail!
The third one!
fail!
His speed is non-stop and he writes very quickly.
As long as you draw enough, a blind cat will always encounter a dead mouse.
fifth picture
scrapped again.
Feeling that only one-third of his spiritual power was left, Chen Li stopped.
He picked up these five useless talismans and pondered them carefully, frowning.
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Zhou Hong's voice came: "Fellow Daoist Zhang is looking for you."
Chen Li's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Ask him to come here!" Chen Li said.
Soon Zhou Hong led Zhang Yan to the talisman making room: "You guys chat slowly, I'll make tea for you."
"Sister-in-law, no need, I'll just sit down and leave." Zhang Yan said quickly.
She smiled softly without saying a word, turned around and left, closing the door behind her.
Zhang Yan thought about it for a while, and was about to say some polite words to warm up the atmosphere, and then get to the topic.
He was interrupted by Chen Li.
"You came just in time, help me find out what went wrong." Chen Li was not polite and pulled Zhang Yan to the talisman making table.
Zhang Yan looked at the table full of useless talismans, and his face was startled: "Are you really learning amulets?"
"Shu Niang told you... Let's not talk about it for now. My foundation is relatively weak. I have been thinking about this amulet for almost ten days and I haven't got much clue. Please help me take a look." Chen Li said.
Almost ten days...
Weak foundation...
Zhang Yan recited silently, with countless grooves in his heart, and he didn't know where to start.
"It's best to draw talismans step by step. It's best to make up the basics first!" Zhang Yan said earnestly. If it weren't for the help of someone who saved his life, he wouldn't have been talked about so much. As he spoke, he picked up a useless talisman that was still smoking.
: "I'll learn it after I finish painting the light body talisman... learn..."
The words suddenly got stuck.
He widened his eyes and looked at the useless talisman carefully.
These smooth lines, these complicated textures.
The whole talisman is full of spirituality.
It gives people a wonderful flavor.
Although this is just a useless talisman, you can still see its profound skills, as if it was written by a master.
Compared to what I saw last autumn, the difference between the two is nothing short of vast.
He couldn't help but look at the other useless symbols on the table.
Same style.
The same spirituality.
The same flavor.
Many of them are still smoking, obviously they were just painted recently.
For a moment, he began to feel a little dazed.
What am I doing?
Why did I rush here so early in the morning?
Wait, we can't lose face.
He hurriedly bit the tip of his tongue secretly, and with a burst of sharp pain, his spirit suddenly lifted.
He stared at the waste talisman carefully, checking it inch by inch, trying to find any mistakes.
Even a trace.
However,
No!
No!
No!
…
He couldn't find it at all.
There is no obvious error or omission in the entire talisman, and it has even completely covered his level, reaching a realm that is beyond his reach.
What's more, he has never studied amulets at all.
"Your talisman...this talisman..." Zhang Yan had beads of sweat oozing out from his forehead:
"Generally, the leakage and burning of spiritual power are caused by...these reasons. One is that the output of spiritual power is too strong. The second is that the lines drawn are too close together and the spiritual powers interfere with each other. The third is..."
He began to talk in generalities, and the more he talked, the more sweat became on his forehead, and the more he talked, the more guilty he became.
However, Chen Li listened and concentrated his attention, thinking deeply in his heart, and his eyes soon brightened.
Before Zhang Yan could finish speaking.
He picked up the pen, dipped it in some blood ink, and quickly drew the symbols.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Yan quickly stopped talking, subconsciously held his breath, widened his eyes, and watched carefully.
Unfortunately, Chen Li writes very quickly.
The pen moves like the wind, and the pen moves like a dragon or a snake.
Completely done in one go.
The talisman's spiritual light flashed, then gradually dimmed, and finally the spiritual power completely converged.
"Haha, it's done!" Chen Li put down his pen, laughed, and felt happy: "Thanks to Zhang Daoyou's guidance, it helped me a lot, otherwise I would never have succeeded so quickly, and it saved me a lot of time!"
"Haha!" Zhang Yan laughed dryly a few times, feeling that his back was soaked with sweat: "I just mentioned a few words, but I don't dare to take credit... Oops, I almost forgot that the stove is still stewing meat.
, I have to go back and take a look, say goodbye!"
Chen Li looked at Zhang Yan's hurried away figure and felt a little strange.
He then stopped thinking about it.
The three best-selling talismans during the Qi training period.
Today I finally got it all.
I guess there aren't many people in the entire Green River Square.
…
Zhang Yan returned home with a dejected look on his face, closed the courtyard door, walked into the back room, sat down on a chair, and sighed.
"Dad, why are you sighing again? Didn't you go to uncle's house? Why did you come back so soon?" Zhang Shuniang heard the movement and walked out and said.
Zhang Yan ignored his annoying daughter and sighed again.
My chest feels so tight!
Uncomfortable.
I think he was twelve years old and learned talismans from a famous teacher.
It’s been thirty-three years now.
But it can't compare to a man who became a monk halfway and once gave guidance on the wild path.
In just one year, it was overtaken.
"Dad, uncle is angry with you again. Don't always compare yourself with him." Zhang Shuniang said seriously: "Uncle is in the late stage of Qi training. He is expected to build a foundation in the future. If he hadn't delayed when he was young, he would be the one now.
A great foundation-building monk."
"Your uncle told you this." Zhang Yan raised his eyelids and said with a squint.
"Aunt Zhou told me, and I think it is, that the uncle is very powerful, and he is very good at everything he does!" Zhang Shuniang paused for a moment, then thought about it and added: "By the way, he also knows a lot of magic, very good at it."
Dad, you don’t even know how to do advanced magic!"
Zhang Yan suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.
well.
This daughter was raised in vain!
It was born specifically to piss him off.
It's hard for him to feed her like shit and piss.
Now everyone is starting to dislike him.
…
Another seven or eight days passed.
In the quiet room.
Chen Li recited a mantra silently and quickly formed seals with his fingers.
One second later.
He pointed.
A pale light shot out from his finger and hit the mud wall opposite.
"Kacha..."
As soon as the light touches the mud wall, it turns into an extremely cold mist of light and spreads rapidly in all directions.
Chen Li felt a chill coming over him and stepped back repeatedly.
He didn't stop until he reached the wall.
However, in just a few seconds, the mud wall in front of him was completely frozen. Even if he stood ten meters away from the area, he felt as if he was in a world of ice and snow, with his eyebrows turning into frost.
After waiting quietly for a while, Chen Li stepped forward.
He pulled out his sword and touched it with the tip of the sword. He found that the wall was as hard as steel and was also sticky.
Especially where the ice ray hit, there was still white steam rising there, and it was so cold that even the nearby water vapor condensed into fine ice crystals, which continued to fall from the air like snowflakes.
Chen Li used a spiritual force to hit the mud wall.
In the end, only a hole the size of a wine cup was made.
"It is indeed a first-level and seventh-level magic."
This power... even if an ordinary first-level monster cannot freeze to death directly, it can definitely affect its ability to move.
If it hits a monk.
I'm afraid it will directly become an ice corpse.
"In the future, you don't have to worry about monster meat being kept fresh." Chen Li thought to himself.
…
"Someone went out to relieve themselves last night and encountered an evil spirit. He was almost frightened to death. I told him there early this morning."
During dinner in the evening, Zhou Hong said with a smile while chatting.
Chen Li paused, swallowed the meat, and asked, "On our street?"
"Yeah, it's not that far from us." Zhou Hong said, speaking lightly.
Chen Li was speechless.
What's so funny about this.
In some respects, the natives of this world are surprisingly courageous.
Especially evil spirits.
Are you saying you don't care?
I'm sure you still care.
After all, amulets to ward off evil spirits all sell well.
But to say how scared I am, it's not that much. There have been so many evil incidents recently, and I haven't shown much panic. However, considering that all the people living here are monks, I can understand it.
Maybe I was making too much of a fuss.
He was thinking about getting in touch and seeing the world.
He has never really seen this ghost before. Most of his fear comes from the unknown. He was still afraid of monsters at the beginning, but now he has no feeling for first-order monsters.
He is still somewhat confident in his own safety.
Regardless of the evil amulet, the rebuke technique, or the thunder in the palm, all evil spirits can be naturally restrained.
late at night.
Chen Li took ten evil talismans and placed them close to his body.
Then he quietly walked out the door.
Before going out, he was still thinking whether he would meet a female ghost or a male ghost this time.
If you encounter a male ghost, kill him directly.
If you meet a female ghost...if she looks pitiful, just be merciful and let her go.
If they look hateful, kill them directly.
However, after walking back and forth along the street several times, and even having the courage to go to the woods and various remote places, except for the evil amulet that got inexplicably hot a few times, let alone pity the female ghost, he even lost his hair.
Didn't see one.
Finally came back disappointed.
…
After autumn, the weather gets cold very quickly.
Although several big trees on the street tried their best to retain their leaves, they still could not withstand the ravages of time and became bald day by day.
Just when Chen Li thought he was going to spend another cold winter here.
A news suddenly spread in the streets and alleys.
The Yu family, who moved here not long ago in the spring, are leaving.
After Chen Li heard the news, he was startled at first, then became ecstatic.
Apparently, the war outside is over!
I can finally leave this rotten hellish place.
"Are you really leaving this time?"
When Chen Li talked about this matter with Zhou Hong, she was suddenly confused and a little uneasy about the future.
"Of course it is true. When the time comes, we will follow the Yu family's team, and our safety will be guaranteed." Chen Li said seriously: "I estimate that there will be many people leaving this time."
"Well, I listen to you. I will follow you wherever you go." Zhou Hong said.
