Chapter Eleven: Drawing Charms
At this time, there was a noise outside the house. Uncle Wang bravely went out to take a look, and saw the madman messing around outside the door, putting incense and burning paper money.
"Again?"
Uncle Wang got angry and couldn't reason with the madman, so he immediately picked up the wooden stick in his hand.
The madman received a blow and shouted in pain: "Master Ghosts and Gods, don't kill me!"
Turn around and run away.
Chen Youniao would not argue with this madman, thinking that there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Since looking for evil spirits can't help, luring the other party out is not a bad idea.
What about just after coming out?
Chen Youniao entered the room, took out a wooden box, opened it, and took out the things inside one by one: talisman pen, cinnabar, talisman paper...
Uncle Wang opened his eyes wide when he saw it: "Master, can you draw talismans?"
Among the four great temples, the most powerful one in Laoshan Dojo is the talisman, which is unique. Various talismans have different functions and are very mysterious. There are magic talismans, if you stick one on your leg, you can walk as fast as flying, and move as fast as lightning; there are invisibility talismans, if you use them
After that, the body disappeared without a trace, coming and going without a trace; there was also the famous Five Thunder Talisman, which exploded like a thunderbolt, causing huge damage...
Chen Youniao has indeed learned to draw talismans, but it is the simplest stroke outline and basic common sense, not real talismans. Only when you become a Taoist priest can you start related courses: "Uncle Wang, I have said that after ten years on the mountain,
I learned some tricks."
This is not a big lie, as "Wall Penetrating Technique" is proof, although it has not really "penetrated the wall" so far.
There is an evil spirit in the house. If we don't solve it, how can we live in peace of mind? If you have a lot of money, you won't mind moving to a better place or asking someone to help.
But in the current situation, I can only rely on myself.
Chen Youniao was heartbroken: He came from time-travel, failed to cultivate Taoism, failed to become a rich man, tried to study but failed, and still owes a lot of debt... The house is his only place to stay, no matter what evil intentions you have, what you want
There is no way to occupy this land.
He is not showing off his courage, but he has support.
Firstly, the evil spirit could be scared away last night and it would not be as vicious as it was; secondly, Chen Youniao is a man with magical powers.
Of course, the mana is relatively low.
But today is different from the past. After consuming Wen Qi to practice, the effect is outstanding, and the mana has made gratifying progress.
The mana now can be used to draw talismans.
What Chen Youniao wants to draw is the most common and common talisman: the house security talisman.
He doesn't know anything else either.
In the basic strokes class of talismans, this talisman for house security was demonstrated by the Taoist master and used as an example to analyze and explain.
Therefore, Chen Youniao was deeply impressed. He could outline the strokes and mastered them completely. However, he had not had the matching mana to concentrate on it before. He could only describe the strokes, so the talisman could only look like a charm and was of no practical use.
While sitting in front of the wooden table and looking at the various things in front of him, he sighed inexplicably: Ten years as a Taoist priest spent countless money, but in fact, he still learned something, and it was not completely useless. He said that he practiced it every day
Chores, chopping firewood and carrying water are also good exercises for the body. Otherwise, where would the height of about eight meters come from? Such healthy and strong body bones? If it is the frail and sick scholar who has no power to tie a chicken, then
I just want to cry but have no tears.
Uncle Wang stood on the side, curious and expectant. He actually didn't know much about his young master.
When they were in Laoshan, one was on the mountain and the other was at the foot of the mountain. It was on the way back that the two got close to each other. The young master failed the examination and was sent home. Uncle Wang thought that he had failed in learning Taoism.
Regarding the definition of "failure", there is actually a range of fluctuations, scoring levels, and comparisons. Although Chen Youniao did not become a Taoist priest, his status as a Taoist boy actually made him more successful than many ordinary people.
Soon, Chen Youniao put aside some distracting thoughts and began to concentrate on it.
First, mix the cinnabar and other materials used to draw talismans.
These materials are all produced by Laoshan. They are genuine and valuable. He spent a lot of money to buy them at that time - not that he took the initiative to buy them, but because the rules of the dojo were like this, so he had to buy them even if he didn't want to. But he didn't expect that now
It came in handy.
Then he took a breath, and when his energy reached a full level, Chen Youniao picked up his talisman pen and began to draw talismans.
The key to drawing talisman is to be done in one go and smoothly. If you pause and the strokes are broken, it is equivalent to being useless.
Write one first, then another.
After writing two pages, Chen Youniao seemed to have been emptied out. He was sweating profusely and breathing heavily.
Mana is equal to essence. If it is consumed excessively, a person may even become exhausted.
In the final analysis, Chen Youniao's Taoism foundation is poor, his magic power is too little, and it is not durable.
"Master!"
Uncle Wang called out with concern. He didn't know it was so laborious to draw the talisman.
The first time he formally drew a talisman, Chen Youniao himself did not expect that drawing two talismans would almost kill him. It was not so difficult to perform the "Wall Penetrating Technique" twice. However, the "Wall Penetrating Technique" is a magic spell that works on oneself.
, but the talisman draws away the magic power and acts on external objects.
There is a difference between the two. The consumption methods are different, and the consequences are also different.
It’s no wonder that real talismans are very precious and are regarded by Taoist priests as treasures packed in boxes and will not be used easily. After all, it is not easy to make talismans.
After breathing for a while, Chen Youniao gradually came back to his senses. When the cinnabar was dry, he picked up one and said, "Uncle Wang, this is the security talisman for the house. You can take one and post it on the bedside to ensure safety."
Uncle Wang took it carefully and said with a smile, "Thank you, Master."
Although he didn't know the goods and didn't know what this talisman was like, he felt that it worked after seeing the mysterious runes and magical outlines on it.
Chen Youniao picked up the remaining one. This one was reserved for himself. No matter what, it was also an insurance policy.
"It's getting late, let's take a rest."
After cleaning up, everyone went back to their respective houses.
Chen Youniao was still worried and did not dare to fall asleep like this.
The evil spirits are treacherous, preferring yin and hating yang, so they are accustomed to appearing at night, especially in the second half of the night after midnight. During this time, everything is quiet, people are asleep, and they are completely defenseless. They are most lazy and negligent, and can easily be taken advantage of.
enter.
But after drawing the talisman, he was so tired that he lay on the bed with his eyelids constantly fighting, and he accidentally closed his eyes and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but the moon in the sky was covered by a cloud, and the sky and the earth became dark.
call!
The wind blew by, making the leaves rustle.
In the dark house, a black shadow suddenly appeared. It appeared out of thin air, as if it came out of the ground.
This black shadow had a slender head, a long body, and a swollen belly, like a pregnant woman about to give birth. It was indescribably weird. Its body was light and fluttery, and it soon arrived outside the door to the right side room where Uncle Wang lived.
swish swish...
There was a slight noise, it was wandering outside the door, looking for a way to enter.
Uncle Wang closed the doors and windows tightly before going to bed.
After a while, the dark figure seemed to have thought of a way and began to pick at the wooden lattice of the window.
Creaking, creaking...
