Therefore, Qing Xuanzi decided to stay a few more days back this time, so that Rong Lianhu and his wife could spend more time with their daughter.
On the way back, Qing Xuanzi didn't let any small prey escape him either; his precious daughter couldn't go a meal without meat.
On the way, Qing Xuanzi remembered that the apples in his sleeve were gone, so he deliberately took a detour to the place where he had picked wild apples before and picked all the fruit from the wild apple trees.
Only then did they speed up their journey to the town with Rong Jiaojiao, finally arriving back before dark.
However, this time it wasn't so lucky. Fu Ya didn't come over. Qing Xuanzi wasn't in a hurry. He leisurely cooked some food for the master and disciple, then tidied up the house and took Rong Jiaojiao to rest.
The next day, Qing Xuanzi didn't rush to find Fu Ya and Rong Lianhu. He thought that, given Fu Ya's personality, she would probably come to the courtyard often after get off work.
So after dinner, I started training Rong Jiaojiao, practicing standing meditation with her, and teaching her boxing.
She would rest for a while when she got tired, and then continue. The little girl was very resilient. When she got tired and rested for a while, she would climb up the wooden stake herself when she saw Qing Xuanzi standing on it.
In the afternoon, Qing Xuanzi brought ordinary paper and pen and taught Rong Jiaojiao how to draw talismans.
He disassembled the runes one by one, explaining in detail the meaning and function of each stroke, and how to guide the flow of spiritual energy through the runes.
Rong Jiaojiao couldn't understand it at all, but she still listened attentively.
"This is the spirit-guiding rune of the 'cleansing talisman.' Its function is to guide spiritual energy into the talisman paper, allowing the talisman paper to exert its power."
Qing Xuanzi patiently explained, regardless of whether Rong Jiaojiao could understand or not. He firmly believed that by teaching her again and again, he would eventually make an impression on her mind.
He took out his talisman-drawing tools and slowly demonstrated them to Rong Jiaojiao. The tip of the pen moved nimbly across the paper, and the shades of each stroke were very precise.
As he moved, the runes gradually took shape. He infused them with spiritual energy, and a faint aura emanated from the talisman, confirming his explanation.
"Look, like this." Qing Xuanzi handed the talisman to Rong Jiaojiao, letting her feel the power of the talisman.
Rong Jiaojiao didn't know how to use talismans; she was only used to using her divine sense to explore everything.
When the divine sense triggered the runes, a fluctuation emanated from the talisman on the paper, and then the talisman disappeared.
Rong Jiaojiao stared wide-eyed at her master, bewildered: "Father Xi, he's run away."
Qing Xuanzi explained with a smile, "It didn't run away. It was the baby's divine sense that activated the rune, and it dissipated after fulfilling its mission."
Rong Jiaojiao didn't understand, but she was curious, and she held Qing Xuanzi's hand: "Father Xi, may we prosper!"
Is this a request for Qing Xuanzi to draw another one for her?
Qing Xuanzi replied, "Alright, Master, draw a complete picture of Jiaojiao."
To prevent Rong Jiaojiao from being harmed by the talisman, Qing Xuanzi drew her an "evil-repelling talisman." This type of talisman is simple and safe, suitable for beginners, and also allows Rong Jiaojiao to experience the magic of the talisman.
He picked up the cinnabar brush used for drawing talismans, dipped the tip in cinnabar, and the paper immediately turned a bright red.
Qing Xuanzi held his breath and focused his mind, his brush tip dancing lightly on the paper, outlining one mysterious rune after another.
As he moved, the talisman seemed to come alive, emitting a faint red glow.
"Watch closely, Jiao Bao." Qing Xuanzi explained softly as he drew, "This is the core rune of the talisman. It can dispel evil auras and protect the user's safety."
The talisman quickly took shape, and Qing Xuanzi gently blew a breath to dry the cinnabar on the talisman paper.
He channeled his spiritual power into the talisman, then handed the talisman to Rong Jiaojiao, saying, "Baby, try to sense it with your divine sense."
Rong Jiaojiao took the talisman, tilted her head, and looked at the talisman on it with curiosity.
She reached out her small hand and gently touched the talisman, her divine sense slowly probing into it.
This time, the talisman did not dissipate, but instead emitted a soft red light, as if responding to Rong Jiaojiao's consciousness.
Rong Jiaojiao's eyes widened, her face full of surprise: "Father Xi, let's have some fun!"
Qing Xuanzi smiled and nodded: "That's right, it's the power of the runes. It will always protect you and keep bad things away."
Rong Jiaojiao withdrew her consciousness, but the talisman did not dissipate. Curious, she tightly gripped the talisman in her hand, turning it over and over, but she still couldn't understand why a piece of paper would shine.
She tossed the talisman aside, looked up at Qing Xuanzi, and said, "Father Xi, may you prosper!"
Qing Xuanzi rubbed her head and said with a smile, "Okay, but drawing runes isn't easy; it requires a lot of practice. Shall we start with the simplest strokes?"
Rong Jiaojiao nodded vigorously, her face serious: "Get rich!"
So, Qing Xuanzi took out a piece of ordinary white paper and a brush, and handed it to Rong Jiaojiao: "Baby, try drawing this stroke first."
He first drew a basic rune in the blank space, then held Rong Jiaojiao's hand and taught her to draw it.
Qing Xuanzi patiently guided her as she drew, saying, "It needs to be slightly curved here... Yes, that's it, very good!"
Qing Xuanzi's encouragement made Rong Jiaojiao more confident, and her little face was filled with focus and joy.
After drawing one, Rong Jiaojiao would use her divine sense to sense it. After drawing several, seeing that the talismans she had drawn had not changed, she became dissatisfied and grabbed Qing Xuanzi's hand, demanding, "Father Xi, be prosperous, be carefree."
Qing Xuanzi was both amused and exasperated. This talisman wasn't meant to be used to soothe a child!
Seeing the expectant look in her eyes, he still drew a cleansing talisman and stuck it on Rong Jiaojiao's body.
"Alright, Jiaojiao, try using your divine sense again."
Without him saying anything, Rong Jiaojiao's divine sense spread along the runes, and when it touched the runes that activated the talisman, the talisman instantly took effect.
Rong Jiaojiao was instantly clean and refreshed, and even the dust and stains she had accidentally gotten on her earlier had disappeared without a trace. She felt as if she had become more energetic.
Her eyes widened as she looked down at her now spotless clothes, then touched her face, her expression full of surprise and excitement: "Father Xi, baby is so pretty!"
Qing Xuanzi laughed and nodded: "Yes, the baby has become more beautiful. This is the effect of the cleansing talisman. It can help the baby get rid of all the dirt on his body, so the baby has become more beautiful."
Rong Jiaojiao suddenly seemed to remember something, picked up Qing Xuanzi's pen and handed it to him: "Father Xi, Piaopiao!"
"What do you mean? Do I need to draw another one?"
Qing Xuanzi held the pen, not understanding for a moment what she was trying to do.
Rong Jiaojiao picked up the talisman and gave it to him again: "Father Xi, may you prosper! Father Xi, may you be beautiful!"
Qing Xuanzi understood; they wanted him to draw one too, to use on himself.
Qing Xuanzi was both amused and exasperated, but looking at Rong Jiaojiao's expectant little eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse. He had no choice but to take the talisman, pick up a pen, carefully draw a cleansing talisman, and then hand it to Rong Jiaojiao: "Okay, baby, help me put it on."
