Chapter 30 Black Qi
Another thing worth mentioning is.
It was also introduced in the book “Chaoyang Talisman”.
If it were an ordinary talisman, it would be fine. However, some powerful talismans also need to be "infused" with Taoism, using the cultivator's own power to form the talisman.
"According to the Chaoyang Talisman, ordinary talismans do not require high standards from the talisman maker. As long as one can enter a state of concentration while drawing the talisman, there is a certain chance of success.
However, if it is a talisman with greater power, even if the talisman pattern is drawn and formed, it still needs enough time to "charge" before the talisman can truly play its role.
The fastest way to 'recharge' is naturally to use the cultivator's own 'cultivation'."
Chen Yushu muttered to himself, which was quite understandable.
Ordinary talismans, because of their smaller power, can easily absorb the free energy in the world and complete the "charging".
However, those talismans with greater power absorb free energy more slowly, so the "charging" time is naturally longer.
If this takes too long, it is easy to have many nightmares and the talisman that you have worked so hard to draw may fail and be damaged.
Therefore, the person who draws the talisman needs to "charge" it himself with incense and Taoism, so that the talisman can take shape in time.
“But it’s too early for me.
Making talismans is not an easy task.
The production of talisman pens, talisman paper, and talisman ink all require careful attention. Even if you can buy them outside, it is definitely not easy to actually draw them."
When Chen Yushu thought of this, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Making talismans, the first priority is the environment.
At that time, he was still living in a large dormitory with six or seven people sleeping in one room. It was impossible for him to have the conditions to make talismans.
…
The pharmacy was as busy as usual.
Perhaps because his spirit had become much stronger, Chen Yushu felt most obviously that his memory had improved significantly compared to before.
Especially when he was reading "Bai Cao Jing" and "Compendium of Medicinal Materials", the number of medicinal materials he could learn and remember in the same amount of time increased greatly.
In just a few days, he had read most of them, and with just a brief recollection, he could almost recall their names, appearances and general effects.
“There is a lot of knowledge involved in making this decoction.
Which herbs should be added first, which herbs need to be added later, which herbs must be boiled over high heat, and which herbs can only be simmered over low heat... there are many rules to follow.
If the order is wrong, a good medicine can become a waste.
If the fire is not controlled properly, the effectiveness of the medicinal soup will be greatly reduced."
While Xu San was decocting the medicine, he was also explaining it to Chen Yushu.
Fortunately, Chen Yushu has a good memory and he can remember basically everything Xu San has said.
Talk less and do more, and ask questions in time if there is anything you don’t understand. You have made great progress.
He was already able to cook some relatively simple herbal soups for coughs and fevers by himself, so Xu San didn't need to do it himself.
Soon, a pot of medicine was cooked.
Chen Yushu covered the tea in a tea bowl and delivered it directly to a patient sitting in the pharmacy.
Decoction is also a business.
Patients can enjoy this kind of medicine decoction service by spending only three or five cents more.
Chen Yushu has decocted and delivered medicine many times in the past few days and is very familiar with it.
Soon, the medicine was delivered to the patient. Just as he was about to return, he heard hurried footsteps. Soon, a sturdy old man, carrying a child of twelve or thirteen on his back, all wet, rushed into the pharmacy. As he walked in, he cried out, "Hurry, doctor, help, save my child..."
In just three or two steps, he rushed to a doctor.
This person was one of the two doctors in the pharmacy, Doctor Liu Maocai.
After he ran in, two men, one old and one young, soon walked in. As they walked in, a strong fishy smell came with them.
"Put him down first.
What happened? Is it flooded? "
Doctor Liu also knew what was important and urgent. Although there was a patient nearby, he quickly stepped forward, grabbed the child's arm, and took his pulse directly.
"Yes...it's flooded. I patted his stomach, but he just wouldn't wake up."
The old man nodded first, then spoke hesitantly.
"The pulse is very chaotic, but the body doesn't seem to be in any serious condition."
Doctor Liu also felt the pulse at this time and frowned.
Then he thought for a while, took out two needles from the back, pierced the back of his hand and the center of his eyebrows, and quickly flicked the tail of the needle, and the two needles began to vibrate rapidly.
But for a long time, the child still didn't wake up.
Doctor Liu couldn't help but feel his pulse again.
Chen Yushu was standing nearby, looking at the child. Aside from a slightly pale face, he didn't have any external injuries, except...
"Um?"
He couldn't help but look at the child's ankle.
There is a black air.
If you look with the naked eye, there is nothing unusual.
But in his eyes, it was different.
Because, this is yin energy, ghost energy, which can be seen by his "eyes".
Although it is very faint, it is so clear.
Moreover, he noticed that as the evil spirit lingered, a black mark gradually appeared on the child's ankle.
It was very light at first, but gradually deepened over time.
"The child was in the water for only a short while and was pulled out almost immediately after he fell.
Even if you choked on water, you should be fine by now."
The old man said anxiously, "This is my only grandson. If something happens to him, how am I going to explain it to Hong'er?"
“Brother Wu, when I pulled him up just now, I felt something was wrong, he was very strong.
It was as if someone was pulling him underwater."
At this time, the old man who came from behind spoke up and whispered, "Is it possible that it touched something dirty?"
“There’s something wrong with that place.
I heard that Lao Sun from the fishing raft also fell into the water there last time, and fell ill the next day after returning. He hasn’t recovered yet.”
The young man beside him also spoke, and then, as if he had discovered something, he quickly pointed at the child's ankle and said, "Dad, Doctor Liu, look here."
A hand-grabbing mark gradually became clearer.
“I can’t handle this well.
You need to replace someone."
Seeing this, Doctor Liu quickly took out the two silver needles, stood up and said.
"Who are you inviting?"
The old man surnamed Wu was panicked for a moment.
"Please ask Grandma Sun, she's good at dealing with these things."
Someone offered some advice.
In this world, although most people cannot see ghosts and monsters, the more this is the case, the more widely the corresponding things will spread.
Naturally, the rural people also secretly remembered the capable people who were good at handling this matter early on, so that if they encountered any problems, they could go to them for help as soon as possible.
Not to mention, there is a Zhenyinsi in the town that specializes in handling corresponding incidents.
Therefore, the existence of ghost walkers, witches and the like, and the "things" they deal with, are almost open secrets.
