Chapter 259: Start learning to draw talismans



Luo Yaoyao had expected this, but deliberately didn't remind her. Seeing that her face had turned red from holding back her anger, he said, "This pen is called Jingtian. The pen body is made from the core of ten thousand year old Tianta wood. The bristles are selected from the small bunch at the tip of the Snow Shadow Wolf's tail. When the pen was made, it was struck by lightning several times. This pen is not suitable for you to use now. You can put it away after you drip blood on it to recognize its owner."

Shen Yizhi did as she was told. After the Jingtian Pen recognized its master, she felt a vague sense of closeness, but the weight of the pen did not decrease at all. She quickly put the pen into the space.

After dinner, Luo Yaoyao taught Shen Yizhi the knowledge of drawing talismans while teasing Qing Bao.

"If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. The same is true for drawing talismans. To draw talismans, you need pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. The four tools used to draw talismans are very different from the four treasures of the ordinary study. The talisman pen has been given to you, but you can't use it now, so in the initial stage of learning, you have to find someone to make a talisman pen that suits you. If you can't find it, you can only buy it, but the one you buy may not be suitable for you.

"Talisman paper. When drawing a talisman, the spiritual power flows through the paper. Ordinary paper cannot bear it at all. It must be made of spiritual wood. The fur of spiritual beasts is also a very good material. The refining of spiritual ink and inkstone is also very particular. Drawing a talisman is not just about taking a pen and drawing a few strokes on paper. These basic skills must also be mastered.

"Otherwise, what will I do if I run out of talisman paper and ink one day? At that time, I will have to do it myself."

Shen Yizhi accepted the instruction and nodded continuously.

"But these are all external objects. When you have mastered the art of drawing talismans, you can use your finger as a pen, spiritual power as ink, and the heaven and earth as a carrier to draw talismans. You can do whatever you want without being bound by these external objects."

Luo Yaoyao looked distant, as if recalling the glorious past.

Shen Yizhi imagined the scene he described and couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

If you want to reach that level, you have at least a long way to go.

Yi Chang: "More than that? The realm that this old man is talking about is not something that ordinary people can achieve. As far as I know, only the legendary Talisman Saint can do it throughout history. Others can't even think about it."

Shen Yizhi: “…”

It seems that this new master is fooling her? His expression and tone just now made her think that if she tried hard, she could do what only Fu Sheng could do.

"First, memorize all the runes in this booklet. Before you get the rune pen, you can practice with ordinary paper and pen."

Luo Yaoyao threw over a thick booklet with the simple words "Compendium of Talismans" written on the cover.

Shen Yizi opened it and found various runes inside, ranging from easy to difficult, from simple to complex and then back to simple, which well illustrated the principle of "the great way is simple".

But these runes all have one thing in common, that is, no matter how simple or complex, they are all drawn in one stroke, from beginning to end, without any interruption in between.

From that day on, in addition to practicing, healing and raising his child, Shen Yizi had another task - practicing drawing talismans.

* "Uncle Wang." Shen Yizhi stepped into the blacksmith shop.

After becoming familiar with Wang Qiantang, she began to call him "Uncle Wang".

Wang Qiantang took a sword blank out of the furnace and immersed it in cold water. The water made a loud hissing sound and stirred up a puff of white smoke.

"What are we going to forge this time?" After the noise in the water calmed down a little, he took out the sword blank, swung the hammer and hit it hard again and again. The muscles on his arms bulged as he exerted force, and he looked very powerful.

The sound of the hammer colliding with the sword blank was sonorous and clear, and seemed to contain some kind of pattern.

Shen Yizhi came this time to ask him to make a talisman pen for her. Yesterday, her master asked her to find someone to make a talisman pen, and she thought of him first.

She was very satisfied with the instruments she had asked him to make before, but he was afraid that he would not be able to make the talisman pen this time.

Because the talisman pen is a magical tool, spiritual energy is indispensable during the refining process. However, Wang Qiantang has lost all his cultivation now. Even if he has the knowledge of a master weapon refiner, it will be useless without spiritual energy.

Just like a computer expert, no matter how skilled he is, he can't do anything without a computer.

So if she wanted him to help her make a talisman pen, she had to help him recover his cultivation first.

After all, she didn't know any other weapon refiners.

If she bought it, the talisman pen she bought might not be as convenient as the one tailor-made for her. And she might not be able to buy it in a short time, and she didn't want to wait any longer.

Of course, she could actually buy it directly from the grocery store, but when she looked around, she found that the prices of magic tools were not cheap. Since she could find someone to refine them, why should she spend that money, no, points?

In addition, there was another consideration. After so many contacts, she had enough understanding of Wang Qiantang. He was a man of few words but with strong professional skills, which was more to her liking. She wanted to help him.

When Wang Qiantang recovers, based on their friendship, wouldn’t it be like she has a personal weapon refiner?

In front of the magic weapon, those magical weapons in the eyes of mortals are not worth mentioning at all. She thinks that she will have to forge magic weapons many times in the future.

To sum up, she felt that it was time to speak openly and honestly.

"Uncle Wang, do you want to practice again?"

Wang Qiantang paused and looked at her with his eyes, which were always calm.

He suddenly smiled, "Of course I want to. But my meridians are already severed. Unless I take the meridian-replenishing pill, it would be a foolish dream to practice again."

Xumai Pill? Yichang: "Xumimai Pill is a real pill, and it is a fifth-level pill. As for its effect, the pill is as its name suggests, it can connect broken meridians. You don't have to think about it for now."

Shen Yizhi didn't expect Wang Qiantang's injuries to be so serious, "Uncle Wang, can you let me take a look?"

Wang Qiantang did not refuse. He wiped the sweat off his face, walked to the table, sat down on the bench with his arms and legs stretched out a strong bronze arm.

Judging from his appearance, he was as healthy as could be. He could probably knock over a pig with one punch. However, when Shen Yizhi diagnosed him, he discovered how bad his internal condition was.

The meridians were covered with cracks, and some were even broken. I don't know how he managed to remain calm. It should be very painful, right? After practicing medicine for so long, Shen Yizhi finally encountered a symptom that left her helpless.

"Yichang, besides the Xumai Pill, is there no other way? Didn't you say that my spiritual power has a healing effect?"

"That's right, you can try it."
