Chapter 86 Family
A closed cabin.
A group of ignorant new disciples in the world of immortal cultivation.
Three not-so-kind brothers.
Zheng Fa was very suspicious of the intentions of these three people.
Not only him, all the new disciples present looked at the three brothers with doubtful expressions.
They are not stupid. The attitude of these three people was not like this before.
The fat senior brother didn't seem angry when he saw their expressions. He just waved his hand, and the pile of books in front of him flew to Zheng Fa and others.
"Words are not enough. You can enter my Jiushan Sect, so most of you should have learned talismans. I believe you have some vision." He said confidently: "After reading the book, you will know that what I said is true."
Seeing that he was so confident, Zheng Fa became somewhat interested in "Master Zhang's Discussion on Talismans".
He picked up the book that had fallen in front of his knees and began to flip through it.
As he read on, he was actually a little surprised, and began to understand why this senior brother seemed so confident - the quality of this book far exceeded his expectations.
The book "Zhang Zhenren's Discussions on Talismans" should really be written for those who are new to the art of talismans.
The whole book is roughly divided into two parts: the Yuanfu chapter and the Zhifu chapter.
There is not much to say about the Yuanfu chapter. Zheng Fa feels that these things in this book are of little benefit to him, but the content is very accurate. At least Zheng Fa did not find any faults.
The part about talisman making was more novel and valuable to him.
There is a lot of content in the talisman-making chapter, from how to choose a good talisman pen and paper, to the movements and postures and even the mentality adjustment before drawing the talisman, and how to summarize and improve after drawing the talisman. All are written in great detail and are extremely complete.
It is very simple but very practical, which is not so simple.
In Zheng Fa's opinion, the simpler the thing is, the deeper the foundation required sometimes.
The person who wrote this book has great attainments in the art of talismans.
After reading it briefly, Zheng Fa actually felt a little guilty - did he misunderstand these three brothers? Did they really treat us as family? Can't you sell this book well?
Although this book is definitely considered introductory knowledge among the immortals, it is absolutely authentic.
Think about the "Spiritual Crane Body" that made Master Xu waste twenty years, and then look at the "Master Zhang's Discussion on Talismans" in front of him.
The price of this book, ten taels of gold, is not really high.
Even seems a little cheap.
As soon as he looked up, he realized that something was wrong. After the new disciples got the books, they all turned around and looked at him.
Zheng Fa was a little confused. Why are you looking at me?
The fat senior brother was even more confused - I asked you to inspect the goods, you read the book, we are not selling it! He also saw some clues, this group of new disciples were probably waiting for this person's opinion.
It seemed that these junior brothers and sisters believed this unknown junior brother a little more than they did.
"Junior brother, what do you think of this book?" The fat senior brother simply asked Zheng Fa, with a meaningful smile on his face, which seemed a bit threatening.
Zheng Fa put the book down and thought about it. Although he didn't have a good impression of these three brothers, he still said objectively: "I don't know the prices of things in the immortal gate, but in my opinion, this book is worth the price."
“I want one!”
Zhou Qianyuan spoke first, and the other new disciples followed suit. For a moment, most of the new disciples donated generously.
The fat senior brother found it even more confusing.
You haven't read any books!
Did you buy it just because of his words? Seeing that the books he prepared were sold out, the fat senior brother looked at Zheng Fa with a conflicted expression, as if he was hesitating whether to have a change of heart and give this junior brother some hard work fee.
…
Zheng Fa also bought a copy. He walked back with the book, ready to study the chapter on talisman making in detail.
The fat senior brother looked at Zheng Fa's departing back, frowned and pulled Zhou Qianyuan.
"Junior Brother Zhou, I noticed you were all looking at that Junior Brother just now, why is that?"
"Brother, you don't know?" Zhou Qianyuan was stunned.
"Know what?"
"During this Immortal Product Conference, Brother Zheng ascended the Nine Mountains and was known as the best talent in talisman magic in the past ten thousand years. We new disciples have all seen it. We are all convinced of his talent in talisman magic. If he says the book is good, then of course it is good."
Zhou Qianyuan explained.
"..." The fat senior brother finally understood the reason. His cheeks twitched, and he was quite depressed: "How could a small person like me hear the news of the Immortal Product Conference so quickly? The best talisman master in the past ten thousand years? No wonder you all listen to him so much."
Judging from his expression, he doesn't really care about this so-called talent.
He even joked with Zhou Qianyuan with a smile: "I heard from Senior Brother Sun that you are incredibly talented, and I thought you were the champion of our Immortal Products Conference this time... It is said that the quality of the new disciples in this Immortal Products Conference is very high. It is true that there are many talented people. No wonder some brothers and sisters in the sect are not happy."
Although he felt a little unhappy when he said these words, he was more calm as if he was watching a show.
This made Zhou Qianyuan unable to help but ask: "Then Senior Brother, you..."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Me? Of course I don't like the fact that Jiushan Sect has more new disciples like you." The fat senior brother was frank: "With more people, I can naturally get less. If you didn't want to sell books, I wouldn't bother to care about you. But I'm not too afraid."
It seems that no matter how talented these new disciples are, he has his own confidence.
He pointed at the book in Zhou Qianyuan's hand and said with some pride, "You don't really think that the three words 'Master Zhang' on this book are fake, do you?"
"..." Zhou Qianyuan looked at the book in his hand, feeling a little dazed.
"We are Sister Zhang's followers! No matter how powerful you are, you can't step on us." The fat brother straightened his chest: "These brothers, including the brother Zheng you mentioned, will never be able to suppress Sister Zhang in the sect!"
Zhou Qianyuan frowned and asked in confusion: "But why did Brother Zheng want to suppress his senior sister?"
"?"
"He is a genius in the art of talismans, trained by Master Zhang himself."
The fat senior brother stared at him blankly, the arrogance on his face gradually solidified, and his lips began to tremble slightly.
…
Zheng Fa was staying in his room studying "Zhang Zhenren's Theory of Talismans" when there was a knock on the door again.
He thought it was Zhou Qianyuan again, but when he opened the door, he found that in front of him were the three senior brothers who had been rude to him before.
It’s just that the three of them smiled a little too brightly, and their three faces were wrinkled like three chrysanthemums - they were so flattering that Zheng Fa could hardly recognize them.
"Junior brother!" The fat senior brother grabbed Zheng Fa's arm and said enthusiastically: "The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple! We are really a family!"
"...Senior brothers, what are you doing?"
Zheng Fa was also stunned. How could this group of people change their expressions so quickly? "I heard that Junior Brother was accepted by Senior Sister Zhang herself. Isn't this a coincidence? We are also Senior Sister Zhang's disciples!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa looked at these people with suspicion.
He felt that Senior Sister Zhang should have higher standards.
The fat senior brother's tone gradually lowered: "Your disciples..."
“…”
So this is where your arrogance comes from?
Zheng Fa put down the book in his hand and looked quietly at the three brothers in front of him.
"How about... let's turn the boat around and say goodbye to your sister properly?" said the fat senior brother with a sad face.
It seemed as if his little sister's crying voice had traveled thousands of miles and finally aroused the compassion in his heart.
