Chapter 20: Being praised
After staying at Meng Ling's place for two days, Mo Jiuwei was taken away by Hu Jiu again.
The other people in the sect did not have any objections to this, and they watched happily as Mo Jiuwei was taken away by Hu Jiu. Only Chen Lan frowned and said, "Don't drink these few days, don't make our Jiuwei feel nauseous."
Hu Jiu grinned, "I know, I know. I bathed and burned incense a day in advance. Look, even my clothes are brand new."
Mo Jiuwei:?
【ha? 】
[Does this mean that before today, he had already prepared to take me away? ]
[What's up with these people? Why did they arrange everything for me? ]
Everyone couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
"You guys are such a fool. Just learn the skills, but you have to ask Jiuwei to accompany you." Liu Feng's eyes flashed, and then he said in a strange manner.
"Uncle Master, we... just feel that learning skills is boring, so we thought it would be much easier with the company of a lovely junior sister. Otherwise, it would be difficult to continue learning!" Hu Jiu said with a smile.
Du Yue also nodded quickly, "Yes, every time I feel tired from studying, I look at my junior sister and I feel that it is not that hard anymore."
"That's right. Everything is difficult at the beginning, especially during the first few days of learning the art. If it weren't for my junior sister, I really might not have been able to hold on, let alone succeed." Meng Ling gave a thumbs up, "So the reason we were able to succeed is all thanks to my junior sister!"
"Yes, it's all thanks to Jiuwei!"
"Junior Sister Jiuwei has made an invaluable contribution!"
The three of them nodded in praise.
They had wanted to say this to Mo Jiuwei for a long time, but they never had the chance.
Now is a good opportunity for me to express my gratitude to my junior sister.
Mo Jiuwei felt embarrassed.
[Uh, I'm just a kid, how can I help? They're so polite... Although I want to help, I just can't do anything right now.]
After following Hu Jiu to his cave, Mo Jiuwei saw the table full of his failed talismans.
[Oh my goodness, what is this? ]
[Is this a table full of ghost paintings? ]
[Is it true that he didn't just draw this when he was drunk? ]
When Mo Jiuwei saw these "talismans", she began to doubt her life, because they were drawn so sloppily that even she couldn't recognize half of them.
Hu Jiu's face turned red. "Did you see that? These are what I practiced recently. Ahem, I did them after drinking..."
After drinking, I felt interested and didn't care whether I would succeed or not. I just started to draw.
You know what, it's quite satisfying. I feel so refreshed after finishing the painting!
[Uh, now I am a little worried that I may have seen it wrong. Could it be that he is not the material for making talismans? ]
Hu Jiu was shocked, fearing that Mo Jiuwei would regret it and quit crying and leave, and then stop teaching him.
It's unfair! It's not that his learning attitude is bad, but self-study is really too difficult. Look at how many people from ancient times to the present can truly learn skills completely by themselves and master them?
The master leads you to the door, but it is up to you to practice. The prerequisite is that you must be led to the door! Although he entered the Xianlai Sect, he only learned the skills of cultivation and had never been exposed to any skills.
It was because of several failures that he knew he couldn't learn it on his own, so he just "let it go" a little bit...
If he didn't want to compete with Du Yue and Meng Ling, why would he be ranked last? He had to wait for Junior Sister Jiuwei to teach them before they could teach him. He had waited for so many days in vain.
"Junior Sister Jiuwei, just lie down here and I'll practice a little more. I'm sure I can draw better!"
Rolling up his sleeves, Hu Jiu prepared to get to work. He would be more serious this time and would never let his junior sister down again.
In order to let Mo Jiuwei see the process of writing and point out the problems, Hu Jiu specially prepared a small bed for Mo Jiuwei, which was slightly higher than his desk.
[Don't start drawing right away. Go over the runes in your mind first and make sure there are no problems before you start.]
OK, go through it.
Hu Jiu did as he was told and started writing. However, after just a few strokes, his spiritual energy was cut off.
The time required to draw talismans is the shortest of all skills, but at the same time it is also the most difficult, because it requires completion in one go, and once a problem occurs in the middle, there will be no chance to remedy it.
So even though Mo Jiuwei was watching, he had already failed before he could even utter a word.
[The most important thing in making a talisman is that the speed of the spiritual energy must be completely consistent. It cannot be fast or slow. If it is unevenly distributed, the spiritual energy will definitely fail.]
【Hu Jiu is still too eager. 】
[However... it can be seen that he is indeed talented. His writing is smooth and fluent, much smoother than other beginners.]
Hu Jiu was delighted——
He was praised by his junior sister!
This gave him a lot of motivation and all his frustration disappeared. He immediately threw the failed talisman aside and took out a new talisman paper.
However, this time he did not rush to write, but silently recited what Mo Jiuwei had just said, and only started writing after confirming that it was okay.
This time he was extra attentive, paying careful attention to keeping a consistent speed throughout the entire process, but when he drew the curved part, the spiritual energy was suddenly cut off, turning the talisman paper that was originally surrounded by a faint spiritual energy into a piece of waste paper.
"How could this happen? I've clearly been very careful..." He was puzzled.
[Of course. The bends are the most difficult part of making a talisman. Can the carriage be as stable when driving on a straight road as when driving on a sharp turn?]
[There is no trick here. If you want to succeed, you can only practice repeatedly, try to find the feeling, and become an experienced horseman! ]
[But I do know a little trick. You can actually speed up a bit when turning. As long as you are steady enough, you will succeed.]
[Of course, you still need to practice more! ]
[Wow... I'm so sleepy, let me sleep for a while. 】
Just fall asleep when you say sleep. As soon as Mo Jiuwei thought of this, she lost consciousness and fell into a sweet dream.
Hu Jiu looked at her with a smile and found that she was sleeping soundly, moving her mouth from time to time, as if she was eating in a dream.
He reached out and covered her with the quilt, being very gentle and careful, for fear that he would wake her up with his clumsiness.
After covering it, Hu Jiu picked up the pen again and started drawing.
Junior sister said that he had to practice more no matter what, so he had to hurry up, otherwise how could he be worthy of junior sister's guidance?
Although she herself didn't know about this...
Hu Jiu calmed down and started making talismans with a focused look, but he would end up in failure every once in a while.
But he was not affected at all, nor did he lose heart, because he had now discovered that each of his failures would come later than the last!
This shows that he is constantly improving, getting better each time.
It turns out that what my junior sister said is right, this method of practice is indeed useful!
