"Just keep painting," everyone urged.
The old man's wolf-hair brush stopped steadily, and his brows were furrowed, his expression serious, as if he was thinking hard.
"Why don't you paint anymore?" the strange girl asked with a smile.
"This place is too weird." The old man finally picked up his brush and moved it across. But there was another "puff" sound and the talisman paper spontaneously combusted.
The middle-aged man said disdainfully, "I thought you were different, but you still failed."
Then everyone in the teahouse tried it one by one, and some tried it more than once or twice, but without exception, the talisman paper spontaneously combusted at the critical point at the end of the formation, and no one could carve out the talisman paper.
"This corpse-controlling talisman is truly amazing. It looks just like an entry-level talisman, but I can't even draw it."
Everyone was relieved. "After all, this is a talisman controlled by Queen Qianye. How can it be an ordinary talisman?"
"Can you carve it?" Chu Nan asked the strange girl curiously.
The weird girl rolled her eyes at Chu Nan and asked, "What do you think?"
That look seemed to be saying, I am not Queen Chiba, how can I portray it.
"Since no one has carved out the corpse-controlling talisman, it seems that this intermediate-level talisman-making secret book is out of reach for everyone." Under the fiery gazes of everyone, the strange girl put the intermediate-level talisman-making secret book into her ring.
Just as she was about to put away the corpse-controlling talisman, Chu Nan said, "I haven't tried it yet."
"You?" Everyone laughed.
"You are so young, you don't think your skill in the art of talismans is higher than mine, do you? I can't even carve it out." said the middle-aged man.
Chu Nan slowly stood up and said, "Empress Qianye might be younger than me. If she can refine the corpse-controlling talisman, why can't I?"
"Haha, hahaha." The old man laughed, "Are you worthy enough to compete with Queen Qianye?"
"Can you compare to a hair of Queen Qianye? How shameless!"
"Hey, hey, maybe Queen Chiba is a white tiger, without hair."
The weird girl stood up, put her hands on her hips, and roared, "You stinky men are so disgusting."
Chu Nan ignored everyone's teasing, stood upright in front of the table, spread the talisman paper on the table, and when he was about to take out his wolf-hair brush, he paused.
His wolf-hair brush was blessed with words by Heaven and carried the symbols of Heaven. If he took it out in public, it might cause unnecessary trouble.
"What? Not painting anymore?" the old man sneered.
"Little sister, can you lend me your wolf-hair brush?" Chu Nan looked at the strange girl.
"Where is yours?" The strange girl frowned and looked at Chu Nan warily.
"My wolf-hair brush accidentally broke last time." Chu Nan made up an excuse.
The wolf-hair brush will not break easily. The wolf-hair brush is to the talisman cultivator what the spirit sword is to the sword cultivator.
The wolf-hair brush broke and the talisman base was damaged.
Everyone thought that Chu Nan had experienced a life-and-death battle, otherwise how could the wolf-hair brush break.
Chu Nan naturally wouldn't explain any more.
The strange girl hesitated slightly, but still took out her wolf-hair brush and handed it to Chu Nan.
This wolf-hair brush is small and exquisite. The pen holder is not made of ordinary wood, but it gives people a sense of vicissitudes of history. There are also some ancient and profound runes on the pen holder.
I don’t know what material the tip of the wolf hair brush is made of, but it is soft and delicate, and has a hint of the fragrance of a little girl.
As soon as Chu Nan held the wolf-hair brush, he instantly felt a rhythm coming from the strange girl's wolf-hair brush. This rhythm made it almost impossible for Chu Nan to hold the wolf-hair brush.
The strange girl gently stroked the tassel of the wolf-hair brush. A golden light flashed, and the wolf-hair brush became controllable.
Everyone looked at the strange girl in surprise, with a hint of disbelief in their expressions.
"The wolf-hair brush actively rejects those who are different from it, which means that this strange girl and the wolf-hair brush have become one."
"Tsk tsk tsk, to have achieved this, it shows that this weird girl's talisman cultivation is not low."
"Her cultivation level should be quite high, right? Could she be at the Foundation Establishment stage?"
The strange girl raised her head slightly, looking quite proud, but did not show off her cultivation level.
When the repulsive feeling from the strange girl's wolf-hair brush disappeared, Chu Nan's eyes fell on the corpse-controlling talisman, although he had carved the corpse-controlling talisman himself later.
But for some reason, what I carved seemed to be fundamentally different from the one in front of me.
He put this thought aside for the time being, imprinted all the details of the corpse-controlling talisman in front of him into his mind, and then closed his eyes.
The next moment, he raised his right hand and the tip of the wolf-hair brush drew a graceful arc, then steadily touched the talisman paper, leaving a dot.
"Tsk, it's just a show, it looks good but is useless."
"He's not going to paint with his eyes closed, is he?"
"This corpse-controlling talisman looks simple, but the connections within it are quite ingenious and repetitive, making it extremely easy to make mistakes. He wouldn't think he could memorize it just by looking at it once, would he?"
"I carved it according to the corpse-controlling talisman, but I made three mistakes in the connection. He even closed his eyes. What's the point of pretending to be so cool?"
"When it comes to showing off, I only admire Qingxuan's Crooked Mouth War God," someone laughed, "No one can match that Crooked Mouth's realm."
"It has to be said that being ranked alongside Empress Qianye on the Yuanli Killing List is definitely not easy. However, I doubt that the War God's mouth is drawn crookedly behind his ears in the paintings that are circulating. It looks too fake."
The topic gradually shifted to Long Aotian, and everyone forgot that Chu Nan was going to carve a corpse-controlling talisman.
The strange girl stared at Chu Nan without blinking, then suddenly raised her eyebrows and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
At this moment, a wave of air spread out from Chu Nan's body, and then golden streamlines belonging to Fu Xiu swirled around him, and the charm of Fu filled his body.
The old man, the middle-aged man and others suddenly turned to look at Chu Nan.
"What a powerful rhyme."
"His level of talisman cultivation is not low."
Chu Nan moved the wolf-hair brush on the talisman paper, and his brush moved like a dragon at an extremely fast speed.
"His starting stroke is the same as mine," the middle-aged man commented. "It's almost the first swirl. It's not difficult here. You can draw it with your eyes closed."
"Sure enough, the first turn was completed without any pressure. The second turn is different and relatively complicated. Even if his level of talisman cultivation is not low, it is not necessarily... Uh, damn, he finished the second turn so quickly?"
The middle-aged man stopped explaining because he found that his explanation was not as fast as the young man's drawing.
The crowd's initial doubts gradually turned into serious expressions, and now everyone's eyes were fixed on the movement of the wolf-hair brush in Chu Nan's hand.
The strange girl propped her chin up with both hands and watched with interest.
The wolf-hair brush in Chu Nan's hand never stopped, leaving golden lines on the talisman paper.
One vortex after another was formed, and the vortices connected with each other to form a talisman paper formation. The arrangement of the formation was perfect, making the expressions of the onlookers more and more solemn.
When Chu Nan reached the crucial point at the end of the formation, everyone held their breath, and the strange girl also opened her eyes wide.
(I will take a leave on the 7th, no update, and will update as normal on the 8th.)
