Chapter 62 Sparks
062 Sparks
Deep down, Xiang Jiannan feels that he is a person who loves to work. Having served as a labor committee member in elementary school for several years, he has always had extremely high requirements for hygiene. Therefore, when he heard the master complaining about the floor not being cleaned properly, he immediately started to redo the work without saying a word.
High standards and strict requirements, this is what every five-good youth who has served as a labor committee member is best at! After carefully sweeping the floor three times again, Xiang Jiannan looked at the master again with the broken broom. In terms of the sanitation of Ping An Temple, he has never been defeated by anyone except the master. It has been a long time since he has been so serious about sanitation. Now he feels indescribably tired.
My waist and hands were uncomfortable because I was too concerned about whether the floor was clean, and my eyes were a little dizzy.
"I'll go get another basin of water."
Seeing that the master was sitting on the doorstep without any movement, Xiang Jiannan took a few glances and came up with a new cleaning trick.
My many years of experience as a labor committee member are there for me to see. I will never give up today until I clean it up. This involves a question of dignity.
He couldn't tolerate that his once glorious life experience had become worthless now, and might even be questioned. This kind of thinking was the biggest insult to a labor-loving five-good youth! "That's enough, it's already clean."
Standing up from the threshold and waving to Xiang Jiannan, Gao Yuan once again laid out the tools needed to draw the talisman. He understood what his disciple meant, and as a master, how could he go back on his word?
"Talisman is actually the combined name of Talisman and Lu. I believe you all know these things, so I won't explain them in detail here."
"You'd better explain it."
Throwing the broom back to the ground with a snap, Xiang Jiannan squatted on the ground with his hands in his pockets. Gao Yuan's mouth twitched a few times, and finally he covered half of the broom head with his butt:
"It's written in the book in my room. When I wrote it, I must have recorded it in great detail."
It has been confirmed that all the scriptures in Ping'an Temple were written by the master.
Xiang Jiannan couldn't help feeling shocked when he heard his master talk about the origin of those scriptures in his room again.
He had always thought that the scriptures in the temple were just handwritten copies, but he never thought that they were actually written by the master himself, as practice notes? He said that some parts looked messy, but today he finally knew the truth.
With so many practice notes, and no one knows how many years he has been writing them, Xiang Jiannan has made a surprising discovery from analyzing the scriptures he has read: writing more does not make his handwriting better. At least, this theory does not hold true for his master.
Although he didn't know the exact time when those notes were written, based on what he had seen, Xiang Jiannan thought that his master's handwriting had not improved at all. Each one looked almost the same. If one had to force a distinction, the only difference was between ugly and uglier.
After all, I have practiced calligraphy for a period of time, and I can still distinguish between beauty and ugliness, good and bad.
"You mean that drawing talismans only focuses on following one's will?"
After listening to the master mumbling on the ground for a long time, Xiang Jiannan lost interest after just a while.
At the beginning, what he said was similar to what he wrote in his notes. But the more he talked, the more nonsense he became. It was not like he had not studied talismans before. If he could draw them however he wanted, then what was the point of the so-called format? A talisman without structure was just a piece of waste paper. Even if there was a bonus to his cultivation, it would definitely not be powerful.
Shouldn't this be rigorous? If you don't clearly state in whose name it is being done, what it is to be done, and what your identity is, will it be recognized? Is the master just talking nonsense again?
"That's about it."
Gao Yuan picked up a piece of yellow paper from beside him and dipped the brush in ink:
"It took me a long time to realize this state. If you want to command the world, you must get rid of those rules and regulations. You will understand in the future."
“I feel even more confused.”
Seeing the master raising his hands and waving them around again, Xiang Jiannan felt a headache when he looked at what he had drawn.
I used to think I understood a little bit, but now I don’t know which one to believe.
Can a talisman without the talisman core, head and feet, and the seal still be called a talisman? I have asked my master a similar question before, and now I have finally got the answer, but I feel that it has completely overturned my cognition.
Doing whatever you want is just like drawing. Who are you scribbling for when you draw on such a sacred thing?
"What's the use of this talisman of yours?"
After the master finished drawing the talisman, he tilted his head and looked at Xiang Jiannan. When he spoke, there was only confusion on his face. He knew that the power of the talisman was affected by the cultivation level of the person who drew the talisman. Since he wanted to guide him, could he explain it more clearly?
There were still only lines on the talisman, which confused him. Boss, don't you need to follow the rules? "The body protection talisman has almost the same effect as the peace talisman."
“It’s too arbitrary.”
Feeling that the difference between the newly painted amulet and the amulet was too great, Xiang Jiannan looked at his master with melancholy: "Is it really not necessary to have a talisman head, a talisman pill, a master, etc., or is your technique too mysterious for my disciple to see at this level?"
"I remember there was a peace amulet before, but is it there or not? I am a little confused."
As far as Xiang Jiannan could remember, the amulets in the temple were very standardized before, and he had everything written in the notes. But after that, he became a little confused.
"Those amulets are for sale, so of course they have to be painted in a more detailed manner. What I am telling you now is the other side of the amulet."
"Is there any mantra for this amulet?"
Xiang Jiannan asked anxiously, fearing that Gao Yuan would say something even more difficult to understand.
Some talismans require incantations. Except for the time in the Choushuigou, I don't think I have ever encountered a talisman that requires incantations to activate. Even in the Choushuigou, I didn't think that sentence was an incantation. Master, may you bless me? Which talisman uses incantations like this?
"No, generally not, unless the situation is special. Strictly speaking, talismans and talisman techniques are not the same thing. Of course, in my eyes, there is no difference between them now."

Feeling that he had told Xiang Jiannan everything he knew, Gao Yuan handed the brush to him while speaking: "Draw another one according to the master's instructions."
You didn't say anything. When the master asked him to try again, Xiang Jiannan didn't know what to do when he took the brush. He pulled out a piece of yellow paper, and his right hand hesitated and couldn't put it down.
How to draw, as you like? The master really thinks too highly of himself.
"You don't have to be like the master. If you really can't do it, you can just write a word first."
“Feel the world and express what’s in your heart.”
This old Taoist priest said it lightly.
Under Gao Yu'an's gaze, Xiang Jiannan made up his mind and drew a few strokes on the yellow paper. He forced himself to focus on one idea, and even forced out the green energy when he moved his brush.
The word "fire" was written so crookedly that only its shape was recognizable. Fortunately, I could still recognize it.
With the cultivation level of the second stage of Dao Fruit, sensing the energy of heaven and earth, it is really too difficult to write the word "fire".
"No more?"
Seeing Xiang Jiannan taking so long to come up with the word "fire", Gao Yu'an was a little disappointed. Looking at his disciple's embarrassed look, he stood up from the ground and said helplessly: "How about trying the effect?"
He was afraid that his disciple would not be able to withstand the next blow. With his current level of cultivation, he really couldn't hold too much hope for such a thing.
"Let's try it."
Imitation of what he had done before, he threw the talisman paper into the air. Xiang Jiannan watched it fall down before it even floated up, feeling disappointed. He didn't give up until the talisman paper fell to the ground.
As expected, it had no effect at all. I thought he could create some sparks, but this method didn't work.
"Practice is full of ups and downs."
Originally, he was instructing Xiang Jiannan with the intention of striking him down, but after seeing that his disciple remained silent, Gao Yuan actually felt a little bit reluctant, so he started to comfort him and prepared to put the talisman aside.
The method I mentioned is a bit difficult. If you don't like it, just do it step by step. There is also nothing wrong with drawing it like a amulet.
Zizizi. Gao Yuan was bending over to pick up the tools on the ground when he heard a few subtle noises. When he stood up and looked around, he saw that the talisman paper that had just fallen to the ground had changed. A few wisps of smoke came out from the talisman paper, and after spreading, it quickly gathered into a small flame. As his disciple turned around from the front, the talisman paper that had a small hole burned in it suddenly burned up. The flames were not big, but it made him, who was dejected, excited for a moment.
His expression changed from gloomy to sunny, and his look changed several times. From a distance, it slowly turned into a look of pride.
