"Good luck, little guy. Our family is very optimistic about you. Remember to live longer."
After saying that, the skinny old eunuch laughed sinisterly.
The laughter made Lu Yun's hair stand on end, as harsh as a razor blade scratching back and forth on the floor.
"What happened to the witch's cloak?" Lu Yun couldn't help but ask.
The old eunuch picked up the orchid on his finger and replied lightly: "It's nothing, except that it was sent out seventeen or eighteen times, and each time the owner was either crazy or dead."
"Uh..." Lu Yun was stunned on the spot.
If you are either crazy or dead, is that still nothing? Do you have any misunderstanding about this sentence?
If he couldn't beat him, Lu Yun would have to give him a tough job.
"Is it still too late for me to retreat now?" Lu Yun was silent for a moment and asked quietly.
The old eunuch glanced at him disdainfully and said, "If you can beat him, you can put this witch cloak on him."
By this he naturally refers to Mr. Min.
nonsense!
That means you can’t retreat!
Lu Yun suddenly realized, why did each of these old eunuchs deserve a beating more than the other?
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don’t bully young people into poverty, you will definitely punish them one by one in the future!
Lu Yun put away the witch cloak and planned to report to Cao Ronghui first.
In the study, Cao Ronghui looked at the witch's cloak that appeared on Lu Yun's body, and couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth: "Did you choose this yourself?"
Lu Yun laughed helplessly: "I was forced..."
"Mr. Min."
Cao Ronghui shook his head, sighed and said: "Forget it, put down this witch's cloak, and our family will help you get rid of it later. This is an ominous thing, and you may not be able to grasp the cause and effect."
Cao Ronghui didn't want to have such a handy subordinate suddenly disappear.
"this……"
When the opportunity came to give it away, Lu Yun was a little reluctant to part with it.
After all, apart from being weird and dangerous, the witch's cloak is really a pretty good piece of armor for him.
With it, it is equivalent to wearing a piece of clothing anytime and anywhere, and you no longer have to worry about your whole body being exposed. Who can not love it?
Forget it, just keep it.
We’ll talk about the rest later!
So, Lu Yun quickly changed the subject and said, "Deacon Cao, is this witch cloak really so ominous?"
"Anyway, every holder that our family knows who survives, and those who are lucky enough to survive, are also crazy."
"What on earth is going on?" Lu Yun was confused.
Cao Ronghui pondered for a while and said: "This matter involves a secret. Back then, a tribe named 'Wu' caused trouble in the local area. The late emperor raised troops and finally surrounded the last elder of the Wu tribe. The last elder knew that there was no hope of escape, so he committed suicide. It was rumored that at that time
She's wearing this witch's cloak."
"It is said that there is a curse on it from the last elder of the Witch Clan, and it will be difficult for all holders to have a good death."
Hearing this, Lu Yun's doubts deepened.
"If that's the case, why is it still being put in the treasure house for others to choose from?"
If it really contains the curse of the last elder, why not seal it or simply destroy it?
Cao Ronghui's eyes swept over Lu Yun's face, as if he could see his thoughts, and said lightly: "Curses mostly come from resentment, and can be constantly worn away by the power of the warrior's blood."
Hearing this, Lu Yun's face darkened.
OK!
This is using him as a mere tool.
"However." Cao Ronghui changed the topic: "If you can conquer this ominous weapon, maybe the curse on it will be of unexpected help to you. Otherwise, why would there be so many people yearning to conquer it?"
"Then Mr. Min, give it to me..."
"Maybe he saw something different about you."
After saying this, Cao Ronghui glanced at Lu Yun meaningfully.
When Lu Yun heard this, his heart trembled, and he laughed dryly and said: "No, no, I just have some luck, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning."
Cao Ronghui glanced at him: "Okay, do you want to keep this witch's cloak? If you don't want it, just leave it here and we will return it for you."
"I want it! I think this must be Mr. Min's test for me. How can I not want it?" Lu Yun said plausibly.
This guy's face is really thick.
Cao Ronghui thought this in his heart and waved his hand impatiently: "Go away."
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
Lu Yun bid farewell to Cao Ronghui, took an exit order from him, put the witch's cloak into his body, and walked out of the palace in a swaggering manner.
He wants to buy talisman paper and make talismans!
Wu's Grocery Store is just an ordinary shop in the capital, not large in scale. It maintains its business by making and selling some of the talismans that people need daily. This is also the basis of Wu's Grocery Store's survival.
The business is not big, the success is the long flow of water, and it is barely possible to gain a foothold in the capital where there is little land and little money.
Lu Yun pushed open the door and entered the grocery store.
"My lord, if you want to buy anything, just take a look." The boss who was keeping accounts saw someone coming in and immediately stepped forward to greet them with a smile.
"Is there any talisman here?" Lu Yun asked.
"There are some." When he heard that someone wanted to buy talisman paper, the shop owner's eyes lit up.
He immediately pulled out a large stack of light cyan talismans from behind the counter, walked up to Lu Yun, and said with a bit of flattery: "Master, how much do you want?"
"That's a lot." Lu Yun took out two-thirds of it.
"Okay, okay!"
Lu Yun bought some more ink, and after paying the bill, Lu Yun left under the reluctant eyes of the store owner.
"The official comes here often!"
Lu Yun was too lazy to go back to Yuexin Palace. He found a private house, gave the landlord some money, and closed the door.
Whoosh!
The Spiritual Talisman Pen appears.
"Let's get started." Lu Yun murmured to himself.
Make talisman.
Talisman paper, talisman pen, and ink are all indispensable. It seems simple, but the secret is very complicated. You need to learn the identification of talisman paper, the use of talisman pens, and the composition of ink. Only after you have a solid foundation can you start making talismans.
.
Lu Yun took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
He went straight to the table, spread the newly purchased light cyan talisman paper flat on the table, then dipped his pen in ink and swiped it down.
At the beginning, the movements were very sluggish and green.
But as time went by, his movements became skillful and smooth, as if they came easily.
Holding the talisman pen in his hand, Lu Yun's temperament changed, his eyes were clear and clear, his wrists moved like a snake, the tip of the pen was light and lively, rustling...
Slender and graceful dark red arcs spread on the talisman paper, like wisps of smoke curling up, like flowing clouds and flowing water, comfortable and natural.
On the light cyan talisman paper, the talisman patterns are gradually taking shape.
Lu Yun's expression was focused and completely selfless. He was immersed in a mysterious and peaceful state, with only the thin and dense lines on the talisman paper in his eyes.
