After Fang Ming took over, the store's plaque was taken down. All the shop owners around knew that Wen Baozhen had a new owner, but for a week, they didn't know who the new owner was.
I saw two young men coming in and out.
Yes, no one would think that young people like Fang Ming and Dazhu would be the owners of the new store. The reason is the same as Song Xiong's impression of Fang Ming at the beginning.
Opening a shop in the Antique City is all about antique business. The youngest boss is in his thirties, and Fang Ming and Dazhu combined are not as old as most shop owners.
On the first floor of Wen Baozhen, Dazhu walked in from the door. He was holding two bags in his hands. Inside were the lunches he had just bought. It was a bit inconvenient to eat here in the Antique City. The whole street was originally blocked due to planning reasons.
There are no restaurants at all. The only two restaurants are on the opposite street, which takes more than ten minutes to walk.
"Old Huang, this is yours."
Dazhu put down the bag and took out a large pork rib and handed it to Lao Huang who was lying at the entrance of the stairs. Then he looked towards the second floor and shouted: "Fang Ming, it's time to eat."
There was no reply, but Dazhu was used to it. This week, Fang Ming often worked on it alone for most of the day. He had gone up once or twice to see Fang Ming carving wood and looking at it for a while.
So he left.
That's right, Fang Ming was indeed carving wood at this moment, and that wood was the section of the ten-thousand-year-old tree.
At the beginning, Fang Ming did not tell Hua Borong and his son about the description of the alphabet tree: mother and child have feelings, sacred trees have spirits, and objects carved from the mother-and-son tree will have extraordinary spirituality after being finalized.
What Fang Ming did this week was to carve out twelve objects, three rings, four bracelets and five seals from this piece of the tree.
What is seal sealing? If your family is in the countryside or you have invited a Taoist priest to do rituals, you will know that when the Taoist priest opens the altar and chants sutras, he will often put a banging object on the table. Every time he recites a sutra,
Just knock on the table.
Of course, Taoist priests who don't have any real skills usually use a random piece of wood instead of a seal.
But if it is a real Taoist priest, generally speaking, he will bring a seal. The function of the seal is very simple, that is, it is to reach heaven to listen. If a careful person carefully observes the practices of those Taoist priests, they will find that those Taoist priests are all
After reciting a section of prayer content, pray a few times before striking the seal.
As for why the seal has this effect, the reason is very simple, that is, generally the seal is carved from spiritual wood, and after it is carved, incense must be burned and worshiped for seven or forty-nine days. By then, if
If the seal does not crack, it means the seal is complete.
Of course, Fang Ming's carving of this seal does not mean that he wants to be a Taoist priest, but it is just because it would be too wasteful to use such a good material as the mother-of-pearl tree to carve items such as bracelets.
Although it was said that less than one-third of the tree was used to carve these twelve objects, Fang Ming still felt a lot of pain in his heart. The tree was so precious. If it weren't for opening a store, he would have to get something good for the store.
, he will never use this mother-child tree now.
Three hollow rings, four bead bracelets and five seals were placed on Fang Ming's table. The knife skills were average, and some beads were even different sizes, but Fang Ming had no choice. After all, he
I'm not a professional carver, but it's pretty good to be able to carve it like this.
However, this was only the first step. If just carving it out of the mother-and-son tree was not the result he wanted, the next step would be the most important thing.
Set the tone!
This is a technique passed down from the inheritance of wizards. Its function is to tap into the spirituality of these objects. Simply put, it is the so-called consecration.
But Dingbi is different from the consecration of Buddhism and Taoism. The consecration of Taoism and Buddhism is to chant sutras and use the power of scriptures to tap out the spirituality of the object.
At least what Fang Ming knows is that the setting stroke is much more powerful than the consecration. The so-called setting stroke is to condense the witchcraft power on the object. Once the setting stroke is successful, an object can become a spiritual weapon.
Dingbi is divided into three levels: heaven, earth and man. Heaven is the top and man is the beginning. Each level is divided into nine stars. Nine stars are the pole and one star is the beginning.
The first stage of Ding Pen is character, which means that the objects in this stage are mostly objects created by people. Once the second level is reached, called Ding Pin, at this stage, all things on earth can be determined, and one stroke can turn decay into magic.
, even a piece of dead wood can become a spiritual weapon.
As for the highest level of Tianpin, it belongs to the legendary level. According to the records in the wizard's inheritance, once the Dingbi reaches this level, the Dingbi can no longer be called a spiritual weapon, but an innate treasure.
Of course, for Fang Ming, the next two levels of heaven and earth are too far away. Now he can only achieve the lowest level of Dingren pen and it is still one star.
After fetching a basin of water from the bathroom on one side and drying his hands, Fang Ming opened the desk drawer. Inside was a wooden box made of agarwood, with a black writing brush placed inside.
Seeing this brush, Fang Ming's face showed a look of reminiscence. This brush was given to him by his master. After he copied hundreds of scriptures for the first time, the master gave this brush to him.
.
According to what the master said, this brush was given to him by the owner of a brush factory after he had a cause and effect when he passed by Huzhou. However, the master was used to the brush he often used, so this brush became his own.
It was therefore forwarded to him.
Lifting the pen and staining it with the cinnabar that had been prepared on the side, Fang Ming took a deep breath, and his whole expression became extremely solemn.
Setting a pen is a very sacred thing, and this is the first time Fang Ming has done so.
"All things have animism. They are blessed with the blessings of heaven, the divine light is contained within them, and the wisdom is hidden within them."
"I am a wizard, with heaven as my order and the earth as my base. Please forgive me and open my spirit."
"When I write this pen, I will determine the universe, the second will determine the mountains and rivers, and the third will determine all things."
"Certainly!"
When the last word "ding" fell, the tip of the brush in Fang Ming's hand also landed on the first ring pendant. A ray of cyan light flowed along his chest to his arm and then to the brush, and finally landed on the pendant.
Fall on top.
A light spot appeared on the round pendant. The moment the light spot appeared, Fang Ming felt a heat in his chest, and then it was as if there was a suction force pulling his heart forward.
This feeling only lasted for less than three seconds. When a halo appeared on the round pendant, the pulling feeling disappeared, but was replaced by a feeling of powerlessness and collapse.
"It's done!"
Fang Ming didn't pay attention to the discomfort in his body at all. At this moment, his whole face showed a look of surprise. He didn't expect that the first stroke was successful. This was not in line with common sense at all.
Normally, shouldn't authors fail once or twice, then find some reasons, and finally succeed after a lot of hard work? This way, they can both reduce the number of words and express the difficulty of writing. How can they succeed just once?
Ahem...
There was surprise in Fang Ming's eyes. A halo of light represented one star, which meant that he had successfully determined this time. This round pendant was a one-star character spiritual weapon.
According to the records in the inheritance, one-star character can unearth 70% of the spirituality of an item. Only when it reaches three-star level can all the spirituality of an item be unearthed.
The more spiritual something is, the more difficult it is to fully inspire its spirituality. If it weren't for trying to determine the style, Fang Ming would never use the Zimu tree to carve it.
The consecration methods of Buddhism and Taoism are different. The consecration methods of Buddhism and Taoism rely on reciting scriptures and blessing the objects with the power of scriptures. However, the object itself also needs to have spirituality.
If you give an ordinary big stone to an eminent monk, even if the eminent monk chants sutras to the stone for a lifetime, the stone will still be the same and cannot become a spiritual weapon.
And even if those eminent monks can make ordinary objects have spirituality after wearing them for many years, the final spirituality is limited. After all, being able to make non-spiritual objects contain spirituality is already a very unnatural thing.
But if these people were to know Fang Ming's method of consecrating objects, it would probably cause a sensation in the entire circle. The consecration could be completed in just a few breaths, which neither Buddhism nor Taoism could do.
After the surprise, Fang Ming also showed a helpless expression. This time the final stroke consumed nearly half of the witchcraft power in his body, which meant that he now had no strength to perform the second final stroke, and the feeling of collapse in his body also told him
The current physical condition cannot continue.
"No wonder the inheritance mentions the need to cleanse one's marrow. Just setting the tone requires strong physical support."
Fang Ming scratched his head, because the joy of success in setting the script was dissipated a lot at this moment. Cleansing one's marrow is easy to say, but according to the records in the wizard's inheritance, the number of medicinal materials required is a terrifying number.
Money, after all, he is still short of money.
Just when Fang Ming sighed, a voice came from downstairs. Hua Mingming's loud voice came down from downstairs, "Fang Ming, come down quickly."
Hearing this voice, Fang Ming gathered his thoughts and walked downstairs, only to find that not only Hua Mingming was here, but Uncle Hua was also here, and there were two others.
When he saw those two people, Fang Ming knew why Uncle Hua came to the door.
PS: Let’s just talk about it. In the three years since he started writing books, Jiu Deng has completely turned into a night owl. He goes to bed at four or five in the morning every day, and then gets up in the afternoon to code, so sometimes you see
If you update late, you get up late in the afternoon.
To be honest, the author's circle is like this. Most of the people who can wake up in the morning have families and have wives to supervise them. But for a single like me, the whole life schedule is already messy.
I went out for a walk a few days ago when the sun was on. When I looked at the sun, I suddenly felt very dazzling. I couldn’t remember how long it had been since I walked under the sun. My eyesight was getting worse and worse, and my health was getting worse day by day.
It's better to think about whether you should find a girlfriend, get married, or have children one day, and don't wait until your body really breaks down and you can't find a wife even if you want to.
