Chapter 74 Gift Giving
The tip of the sword left a mark on the ice. Master Shanzheng retracted the sword and looked at the crack on the tip of the sword.
Master Decheng stepped forward to look at the marks on the ice, then turned back to Master Shanzheng and said, "You can't use the explosive talisman. It's probably impossible to break the ice in a short time."
"We don't need to rush anywhere now. Let's stop and think of a solution."
While the two of them were discussing things, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were fiddling with the ice.
Shi Xiaoliu was reluctant to use his medicine pounding stick, so he took out his bamboo sword and stabbed it directly into the ice.
The bamboo sword slid down the ice, causing Shi Xiaoliu to fall forward. Shi Zelan quickly reached out and grabbed him.
Shi Xiaoliu put away the bamboo sword and said to Shi Zelan, "This icy surface is too tiring for the sword."
Shi Zelan nodded in agreement and said, "I was just thinking about which sword to use. The sword that my master gave me might be of some use."
A good sword can probably only be used at this moment. She drew the sword and rushed forward, pushing the sword forward inch by inch, attracting the attention of the kind and upright man and the honest and sincere man.
Master Shanzheng looked at Shi Zelan who was holding the hilt of the sword and pulling the sword out with force. He stepped forward to help.
The sword handle did not move at all. Master Shanzheng stretched out his hand and drew a warming talisman, which only melted a little bit of the ice.
After seeing this, Shi Zelan immediately followed Master Shanzheng in drawing talismans. Now that her cultivation had improved, she could try drawing talismans directly with the air without using talisman paper.
Shi Xiaoliu took the pestle and smashed it on the ice again and again.
After walking around the ice several times, Master Decheng said to Master Heshanzheng, "I didn't see any formations set up. Although the ice is thick, the sword can penetrate it, so we can make a way out."
The talismans drawn by Shi Zelan were sometimes useful and sometimes useless, but after drawing them many times, she gained some experience.
She even had the leisure to say to Shi Xiaoliu: "While I'm taking a break, I'm going to make a few sword tassels. Do you have any ideas?"
"Sister Lan, can you make a sword tassel?"
“I haven’t done it, but I saw Ba Gu make a sword tassel.
Xiaoliu, who do you think Eighth Aunt made the sword tassel for? ”
Shi Zelan asked Shi Xiaoliu curiously at the end of the story. She knew that Shi Bachun had been practicing seriously, and she wanted to succeed in building the foundation as soon as possible.
Shi Xiaoliu glanced at Shi Zelan and said, "Let her make a sword tassel for herself."
After Shi Zelan glanced at Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng, she felt that this was Shi Bachun's private matter, so she decided to secretly inquire about the situation with Shi Xiaoliu.
At night, the cave was as bright as day, but the three people including Master Decheng were meditating and practicing.
On the second day, the four of them were busy smashing the ice in various ways. Shi Zelan's sword was still stuck in the same place. She tried to pull it out and found it was getting more and more solid.
Shi Zelan was so angry that she drew a lot of warm symbols on the ice. She stopped only when she saw the icy water flowing down the ice.
After seeing that she had calmed down, Master Shanzheng told her the method of simplifying the talisman.
Shi Zelan's eyes sparkled after hearing this: "Master, I have been thinking about so many lines. When something really happens, we just move our fingers and someone else's sword is already approaching."
Shanzheng Zhenren glanced at her, and completed the talisman in just two or three strokes. He said to Shi Zelan, who was full of surprise, "I didn't omit a single stroke."
Shi Zelan's face flushed: "Master, I shouldn't not understand and say more."
Shan Zheng Zhenren looked at her and shook his head, saying: “It’s a good thing that you have ideas, and some talismans can be improved.
However, some talismans have been successfully tested thousands of times by predecessors. Only when layer upon layer of talisman power is used on them can they exert their greatest power. ”
Shi Zelan listened to what Master Shanzheng said and thought that if she succeeded in learning it in the future, she would be able to make some improvements to some talismans.
But she only understands the basics now, and no matter how much she thinks, in the eyes of many people, she is just bragging.
At this time, Master Decheng was teaching Shi Xiaoliu the common knowledge about top-grade elixirs. Shi Zelan listened and became quite interested.
Seeing the excitement in her eyes, Master Decheng said with a smile, "Sister Lan, do you want to learn how to refine pills?"
Shi Zelan nodded happily, but soon said to Master Decheng in disappointment: "I don't have fire, nor do I have an elixir furnace."
Master Decheng listened to her words and looked at Master Shanzheng and joked: "Shanzheng, I remember you bought a lot of medicine furnaces in the past."
Master Shanzheng glanced at Master Decheng, took out a dark earthenware jar, handed it to Shi Zelan and said, "You should learn how to cook medicine from them first."
After looking at the earthen jar carefully, Master Decheng shook his head at Master Shanzheng and said, "It's really a waste of talent to have this thing in your hands."
Shanzheng Zhenren looked at him and said, "I remember you have a set of medicine pounding utensils. You don't have much use for them. It just so happens that Lan Jieer can use them. You won't be reluctant to give them up, right?"
Master Decheng looked at Master Shanzheng and said with a smile: "Okay, Sister Lan needs a set of tools."
He took out a set of green jade medicine pounding tools and gave them to Shi Zelan: "Sister Lan, learn how to process herbs and flowers with Xiaoliu first."
Shi Zelan saw Master Shanzheng nod, and happily took the green jade utensils and bowed: "Thank you, uncle."
Shanzheng Zhenren took out a handful of talismans and gave them to Shi Xiaoliu: "Ask Lan Jie'er how to use these talismans."
Master Decheng nodded to Shi Xiaoliu, who nodded happily and saluted: "Thank you for the talisman, uncle."
The two younger ones went to the side and whispered that Master Decheng said to Master Shanzheng, "You have never been truly generous to me."
"You have the talisman given by my senior brother, so you don't need me to subsidize you anymore."
"What your senior brother gave me is the friendship between your senior brother and me. If you give me some talismans, it will be the friendship between the two of us."
When Master Shanzheng heard what Master Decheng said, he immediately laughed and pointed around: "Do you see anything here that can be used to make talismans?"
Master Decheng looked at him and said, "After we get down the mountain, shall we find a place to live in peace for a few days?"
Shanzheng Zhenren agreed with Decheng Zhenren's opinion, but he reminded him: "Didn't you say that next time, you would go to the mountains to collect rare herbs?"
"That was my previous thought, but now I think differently."
While they were talking, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were already cleaning the tools for pounding medicine. They simply melted the ice water to wash the tools.
The green jade utensils washed with ice water were crystal clear and dazzling. Master Decheng took a look at them and felt reluctant to let them go.
Shanzheng Zhenren directly blocked his view and discussed with him: "We can't be trapped here by a wall of ice and unable to get in, right?"
Master Decheng looked at him and asked, "Can you draw some explosive talismans?"
"Okay. It was Sister Lan's words that gave me an idea and gave me a new idea."
Master Shanzheng is a man who does what he says. He waved his hand in the direction of Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan, setting up a protective barrier for them.
