"Is this a house-safe talisman?"

When Song Tianfu saw it, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. He originally thought that Chen Youniao could come up with something more advanced. Among all kinds of talismans, the house security talisman is the most common thing. It is common on the market and is basically used in the homes of wealthy families.

Prepared for every household.

Of course, this does not mean that this talisman is worthless. The normal price can be sold for five hundred taels a piece, so ordinary people cannot afford it.

"Brother Youniao, although this talisman is produced in Laoshan, it is of good quality and better than those produced by other Taoist temples. It can be sold for a little more money, but 600 taels is worth the price."

Song Tianfu smacked his lips: "If you want to use this talisman to pay off your debts, you must have at least ten of them."

Chen Youniao said: "Originally there were two, but one was used, and this is the only one left."

"Where's the other stuff?"

Song Tianfu rolled his eyes.

"nothing else."

Chen Youniao answered honestly.

Hearing this, Song Tianfu immediately made a serious face: "Then what are you going to use to repay the debt? The one-month deadline is coming. Let me tell you, there can be no more grace. If you don't pay back the money, I will have to take you away."

If you have an elder to vouch for it, or directly help you pay back the money, that would be the best. If there is nothing, I can only ask you to go to the Yamen to see an official, and you will be punished or put in jail.

."

Uncle Wang stood on the edge and was frightened. He couldn't help shouting: "Young master, you must not do this."

Song Tianfu glanced at him: "You are an old servant, how do you have the qualifications to interrupt? If you were in my house, you would just cut out your tongue."

Uncle Wang was embarrassed and did not dare to say anything anymore.

Chen Youniao looked indifferent and shook the talisman in his hand: "This is indeed a peace talisman for the house, but I drew it myself."

"What?"

Song Tianfu shouted out loud: "You, you painted it?"

"You can't deceive anyone about this kind of thing."

Chen Youniao smiled.

Song Tianfu looked at him in surprise and confusion, and his heart was filled with confusion. A house-safe talisman was nothing, but a person who could draw a talisman was different.

Drawing talismans requires sufficient mana and talent.

Could it be said that Chen Youniao has become an official Taoist priest? It makes no sense. If he became a Taoist priest, how could he be sent home?

Chen Youniao seemed to have seen through his doubts: "To be honest, I am not a Taoist priest yet, and I can only draw peace charms for the house."

Song Tianfu thought for a while: "Since you can draw the talisman, it shouldn't be far from becoming a Taoist priest."

Chen Youniao sighed: "This matter needs to be determined by chance. I can't say for sure. Otherwise, I would be in Laoshan now."

Song Tianfu nodded, the affairs of the Immortal Family had always been elusive and could not be understood by ordinary logic. But he did not know that one bird was not the other, and many things had changed.

The reason why Chen Youniao told him about the talisman he drew was because of the situation. Song Tianfu was already aggressive and he was in a hurry. Where could he get five or six thousand taels of silver in a few days? Therefore, at this time, he had to show some ability.

Only in this way can we gain the recognition and respect of others. If people live in the world, if they always act cowardly, everyone will look down on them. As for pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, you must at least have the ability to eat a tiger. Now Chen Youniao, although he can draw talismans

, but he has not yet successfully transformed into Qi, and he cannot even become a formal Taoist priest. Being able to draw talismans is his biggest bargaining chip.

"Young master, what I mean is that I can draw talismans, which means I have the ability to repay the money. As long as you give me more time. Of course, you will not be short of interest at all."

Chen Youniao was very sincere and authentic.

Being friendly makes money, and the other person just wants to get the money. Going to the Yamen will do no good to anyone.

"Ha ha!"

Song Tianfu suddenly smiled heartily, and his face-changing skills were superb: "Brother Chen, I was just joking just now. Since you are the direct brother of the Chen family and came from the Laoshan Dojo, a few thousand taels of silver is nothing. Don't worry.

"

He was thinking that Chen Youniao could draw talismans, which was a great skill, and it would be enough to stand out in the Chen clan; not to mention that he still had the hope and opportunity to become a formal Taoist priest. After becoming a Taoist priest, even if his potential was exhausted, he would be stuck for the rest of his life.

It stops here, but the Taoist priest himself is a decent person. Relatively speaking, a debt of several thousand taels is not a problem.

Chen Youniao smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Rich. Let's do this. I will pay you back before the Chinese New Year."

Now in July, there are still about five months left before the Chinese New Year, so we have much more time.

"No rush, no rush."

Song Tianfu said, keeping in mind that if Chen Youniao really became a Taoist priest in the future, this debt would be a future favor.

After chatting for a while, they said goodbye and left.

"Master, you are so awesome!"

Uncle Wang, who had endured it for a long time, almost jumped up and admired it from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Youniao chuckled: "This is nothing. It would be great if he could directly get rid of all debts."

Uncle Wang grinned and thought how could this be possible? That was five or six thousand taels of silver, and many families would not be able to earn this amount in their lifetime. Although the Song family was a wealthy family with a wide range of operations, they had to give up such a large amount of money.

Money is almost equivalent to cutting meat.

The external debt has been relaxed for a while, but domestic demand is imminent. In the words of Uncle Wang, if there is no further income, there will be no rice for the pot tomorrow.

"I'm going to find the money."

Chen Youniao took Wangcai and went out, unhurriedly. Without him, he had a talisman ear in his hand. However, after a period of rest and recuperation, he had refined to a certain level and was able to draw three talismans in succession.

In the city, there is always a market for talismans. The price is set a little lower and they can be sold easily. Three or four talismans can be sold for nearly two thousand taels of silver.

Therefore, the Taoist priest is really a golden rice bowl. Chen Youniao's father had a very good intention at the beginning and wanted his son to succeed.

Of course, if there had not been a time-travel incident, based on the qualifications of the predecessor, he would have been unable to do anything after being sent home, let alone draw talismans.

Being able to draw talismans can only be done after the blessing of "The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons", writing to convey the Tao, and increasing the mana.

In addition, although drawing talismans can make money, compared with the cost invested in the early stage of cultivating Taoism, based on this calculation, it is still a huge loss. If you want to make a profit, you will have to paint for several years.

Chen Youniao was unwilling to make a living by selling talismans. Drawing talismans would result in a loss of mana and would cause some damage to the body. Drawing too many talismans would be a waste of money, which was not a good thing. Therefore, Taoist priests would not draw talismans desperately just to make money, as the gain would outweigh the losses. In a sense

It is said that after you have reached a certain level of cultivation, ordinary money becomes less important. If you can embark on the true path of cultivation, your vision and pursuit will be completely different.

With the blessing of literary spirit, Chen Youniao's recovery effect was extraordinary, but he also made up his mind. Unless he had to, he would not overdraw in the future. The trick is to have a steady flow of water. For example, if you can draw three talismans in a row,

Once you have drawn a line, you will have enough energy left and you will be able to be calm in times of trouble.

After learning that the young master can draw talismans and is an out-and-out master, Wangcai's attitude is even more respectful, and he feels that joining Chen Youniao's sect is the right choice. In the past, he was just a wanderer, stealing chickens and dogs, but he had some success.

He didn't have a meal, and lived in a mess. Although he was sold into slavery and lost his personal freedom, he had food and drink every day, and he had dignity by following the young master. This was a good job.

Today, Haidai County is extremely lively, and the streets are bustling with people coming and going.

Chen Youniao was not in a hurry to sell talismans, so he strolled around, looking here and there. He saw a bookstore and walked in to take a look. There were a dazzling array of books inside, mainly on the meanings of classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics.

The world is different, and many things are specious. The Four Books and Five Classics are not the same as the Four Books and Five Classics of the previous time and space. However, there are many similarities in the quotes and views of sages and sages in them.

The books are very thick and sell for a lot of money. There are also many annotations and analysis of the meaning of the scriptures, compiled into volumes, each one thicker than the last...

Chen Youniao made some calculations in his mind. If he wanted to take the imperial examination, he would have to buy at least dozens of books and read them carefully.

With so many books, the total cost is considerable, and I simply cannot afford them now.

"Tsk tsk, isn't this your bird cousin?"

The person who spoke was Chen Wan, who was dressed in a smart attire. She was beautiful, and her attire added a bit of heroism. Beside her was a frail young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a robe and a scholar's scarf.

, this is the official attire of a scholar, obviously he has a great reputation.

"I've met my seventh cousin."

Chen Youniao is neither arrogant nor humble.

Chen Wan saw that he was unhappy and snorted: "You owe a lot of debt, but you still have money to buy books?"

Chen Youniao replied: "It is precisely because of the difficult family situation that I have to work hard and change everything."

"Haha, you don't really want to take the imperial examination to gain fame, do you?"

"Why not?"

Chen Youniao shrugged.

"you!"

Chen Wan was annoyed by his attitude: "They say that mud can't hold up a wall. You are mud, but you want gold and jade. It's just wishful thinking. Cousin Rare Ben, let's go."

It turns out that the person accompanying her is Chen Shanben, a handsome figure of the new generation of the Chen family. He is known as the "reading seed" of the clan. He became a scholar at the age of fourteen and ranked among the top three in the boy examination in Haidai County.

within.

Chen Shanben looked at Chen Youniao and said with a smile: "Cousin Youniao, it's a good thing that you want to study. But this road is not easy. It's no easier than going to Laoshan Dojo to practice Taoism. You have to be prepared to endure hardship.

By the way, if you have anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.”

He said it politely, but the arrogance in his words came out, and he only regarded Chen Youniao as a child. The implication was that Chen Youniao could not succeed in cultivating Taoism, and most likely he would not succeed in studying if he wanted to study.

Chen Youniao said with a smile on his face: "Okay, I will take the boy's exam next spring, and I will ask my cousin Rare Book to vouch for me then."

To participate in the boy examination, you need to find a scholar to vouch for it. This is the rule.

Chen Shanben listened and twitched the corner of his mouth. He was just being polite, but he didn't expect that this cousin would actually take it seriously. Is he here to make a joke? Doesn't he have any self-knowledge? He only studied in ethnic studies for two or three years.
