Jiang Xiaoli sat for a whole day, drawing and drawing, and ruined two notebooks. She painted with great care at first, and then she collapsed when she was eating dinner. With back pain, I drew two more pictures after dinner, and when I closed my eyes while taking a bath, my mind was full of the pattern of the ghost-exorcism talisman.
At about ten o'clock, the courier arrived.
It's two boxes of cardboard boxes, dead heavy. Wei Qianrong opened the cardboard box, and inside was a delicate wooden box with a small golden lock. After opening it, there was a box of yellow paper neatly placed inside.
The same wooden box is in another carton, but there are all kinds of inkstones and brushes in the wooden box. At the bottom of the inkstone is a yellowed handwritten book, on which are drawn a few simple pictures of pure heart charms and fortune charms, and wrote in detail how to purify the mind and body, how to burn incense and pray, and how to be sincere. …
Uncle Shi treats her really well. Wei Qianrong thought about it, and gave the things to Jiang Xiaoli. Go back to the room and dig out the incense burner and put it in the empty guest room, then light the incense candle and plug it in, release the old master of the soul-calling banner, and let him eat some incense.
The old heavenly master stroked his beard very satisfied. But when Wei Qianrong thought of the almost gone female ghost, and released the weak female ghost to eat incense with him, the old heavenly master didn't dare to eat so much...
He even felt that the female ghost looked at him with hunger and thirst.
…
The materials were all in place, but Jiang Xiaoli still didn't immediately use the yellow paper to draw symbols. She practiced drafting and practiced all day before she officially picked up the brush and started—wait, brush
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't get her hands on the brush, she didn't know how to use the brush! —It’s so good that you can’t drop it, and this brush is also very expensive.
So the formal drawing of symbols was postponed for another day. Wei Qianrong taught Jiang Xiaoli how to hold the brush, and watched Jiang Xiaoli use the brush to start drawing symbols on the practice book. At the beginning, because I couldn't hold it stably, the pen was crooked and even forked. Later... I was tired of writing and had no energy, and the painting was even more horrible.
Sitting in the living room reading a book, Wei Qianrong could hear Jiang Xiaoli's wailing in her room. As she turned a page of "Today's Tale", the scene when she used that ugly talisman that looked like a child's scribbles emerged in her mind.
Wei Qianrong was silent for a moment and couldn't sit still. After closing the book, Wei Qianrong went back to the room to get some straw paper, carefully cut the straw paper into the size of a talisman, then turned on the phone, and started searching for how to fold the talisman into a triangle.
…
Excluding the first two days off, Jiang Xiaoli had already wasted three days of expensive materials at home.
She didn't succeed once, not even once! ! !
Talismans are generally composed of five elements: the head of the talisman, the main god and Buddha, the belly of the talisman, the feet of the talisman, and the gallbladder. Jiang Xiaoli often draws on the most important talisman. She has no strength in her hands, and she tends to shake easily when she lifts the brush, but the most important thing about the talisman is to make it in one go, and to be "steady". At the end, you must be calm and not impetuous, write and pick up the pen to penetrate the aura of heaven and earth, whether it is used to "invite gods", "exorcise ghosts" or "cure illnesses"... whatever it is, it needs to be supplemented by aura of heaven and earth. Jiang Xiaoli doesn't have the ability to communicate with the spirit of heaven and earth, but she uses ancient objects. Because of their age, the ancient objects have spirits, which are like a bridge, allowing Jiang Xiaoli to better communicate with the spirit of heaven and earth.
Jiang Xiaoli gritted her teeth, nailed a big nail on the wall, and hung it with a rope. When practicing calligraphy, she could hang her wrist and lift her wrist with a physical cantilever... Of course, the effect was not obvious.
These are all things that need to be accumulated and practiced. Jiang Xiaoli locked himself in the room and drew the talisman for five days, until he almost vomited. Originally, on the third day when she started to use high-grade ink stones, inkstones, and yellow paper, she still felt that the fragrance of this ink was a great pleasure in the world, and she became a master of calligraphy in a trance. However... now it hurts to smell that smell.
Jiang Xiaoli took a deep breath, cleaned her hands with a basin filled with clear water next to her, wiped her hands with a clean towel, stood in front of the table, spread out the yellow paper and pressed it down with a paperweight, took a few deep breaths to get rid of distracting thoughts, and then picked up the The brush is dipped in the ink mixed with cinnabar...
Swish Swish Swish. The brushwork is extremely steady, the appearance of this talisman is imprinted in Jiang Xiaoli's mind, she can draw the talisman exactly without opening her eyes. A talisman was quickly formed on the paper, and Jiang Xiaoli's forehead was dripping with sweat, staring at the yellow paper and still concentrating on drawing—
Failed.
This is a piece of useless waste paper.
Jiang Xiaoli gritted her teeth and carefully put the waste paper into the wooden box... Even if it is waste paper, the price is not much lower.
Jiang Xiaoli suddenly thought, those useless fake talismans in the Taobao shop, couldn't they all be things that other celestial masters failed to draw? I was reluctant to throw it away, but it really didn't work, so I sold it at a low price to get back the book—to ask unknown netizens to pay IQ tax? ?
Knock Knock
Jiang Xiaoli froze for a moment, then ran to open the door. It was Wei Qianrong standing at the door.
"Want to go camping on the mountain?" Wei Qianrong shook her phone, it was the ticket purchase page.
"Camp... camp?"
"There was a group of tourists who went hiking and disappeared. Their family members called the police, but the police searched the mountain and found no one. After looking at the local information, they found that many people had disappeared in that place. Let this matter be handed over to the supernatural circle. Someone can handle it." Wei Qianrong smiled, "I just went to watch the fun and relax."
"A lot of celestial masters will go?"
"It is estimated that there are only three or four masters who mainly solve the incident, but they may also bring their own juniors to learn more."
Jiang Xiaoli hesitated, glanced at the tools on the table, and immediately made up his mind: "Go!"
If she continues to draw symbols and continues to fail, she will definitely go crazy!
"Then I won't bother you." Wei Qianrong glanced at the talisman in the waste cardboard box, didn't ask any more questions, and closed the door for Jiang Xiaoli intimately, giving Jiang Xiaoli a good...environment for drawing talismans.
Jiang Xiaoli pulled her hair a little irritably, sat on the bed and checked Weibo for a while, then got up again to calm herself down as much as possible.
Concentrate, concentrate.
... Of course, it still didn't work out.
Li Hongying's ghost is still weak now, Jiang Xiaoli let her suck some blood every day, this ghost can materialize, but it doesn't last long. In addition, Jiang Xiaoli has been working hard to draw talismans these days, so she simply rests quietly.
Before the game starts, Li Hongying may be able to return to the state of being the only one in the world... right
Fu! Work hard to draw characters! ! ! Before going to sleep, the routine made Li Hongying suck a mouthful of blood, and she was tired of making out for a while. Jiang Xiaoli made up her mind in her heart: After returning, definitely! There must be more than five talismans! Otherwise, wouldn't she get nothing at the end of the fifth dungeon? The ghost incense is gone, the talisman is also burned, Wei Qianrong's talisman is also burned, and the equipment of both of them is tattered...
Talisman, a skill that is extremely valuable in the long run but costs money and has little short-term benefit.
Jiang Xiaoli was thinking about miscellaneous thoughts and gradually fell asleep.
A good night's sleep.
…
The destination of this trip is very remote, and Jiang Xiaoli doesn't quite understand why those travelers who travel by car or climb mountains like to come to these uninhabited places. At the beginning, she took the high-speed train with Wei Qianrong, but when she thought she was about to arrive, she changed to a bus, and the bus changed to a bus. It was not until evening that she met those celestial masters in an unknown town.
"Hello, Master Wei." It was Zhao Junche who came to pick Wei Qianrong up, and he followed his master, who was the eldest disciple of Master Wei Qianrong, to see the world. That old celestial master was of the same generation as Master Wei Qianrong, so Wei Qianrong was of the same generation as Master Master's disciples.
"Hi nephew Zhao." Wei Qianrong greeted, but she didn't ask Zhao Junche to help with the luggage. She dragged the suitcase with her mountaineering bag on her back, and followed Zhao Junche. The three of them came to a small hotel in the town.
"There's no good place to live here, so I've had a hard time making do with my uncle. Tomorrow we'll go into the mountains."
Wei Qianrong expressed her understanding, and sent Zhao Junche away.
"Are you okay?" She asked Jiang Xiaoli, because Jiang Xiaoli's face was very ugly along the way, and he hadn't eaten since noon, and occasionally he vomited only yellow water.
"It should be... Just rest for the night." Jiang Xiaoli felt uncomfortable and her chest was tight, she couldn't vomit, she sighed, dragged her suitcase into the room next to Wei Qianrong.
Overall, it was a safe arrival.
Early the next morning, Wei Qianrong and the others got into the van with the Celestial Master team. They drove two vans, and there were only three masters who came here to exorcise ghosts and save people, one was Zhao Junche's master Wen Shiyu, the other was the celestial master Yu Ze from the other hall, and the third was Li Yichen's celestial master. The rest are potential disciples they brought to see the world.
Wei Qianrong didn't just say hello to the three masters, nor did she go out of her way to communicate with those disciples. Jiang Xiaoli followed Wei Qianrong, so naturally he didn't say much. So the van swayed and drove towards the deeper dirt road, and the people in the car were silent.
Jiang Xiaoli opened the car window, the air in this remote place was really fresh, she breathed in the mountain breeze, and the feeling of motion sickness was slightly better. From the window of the car, they could see the mountain they were going to. From a distance, the whole body was green, and there were trees all over the mountain. "Li Hongying, do you feel the aura of ghosts in that mountain?" 'Jiang Xiaoli asked in her heart.
'That won't be known until near. 'Li Hongying answered like this.
The wind blowing unknowingly became chilly, Jiang Xiaoli shivered, for some reason the refreshing cool wind suddenly turned into an ice knife in winter, and it hurt her face.
She closed the window a little bit, and when she looked at the forest hillside that was getting closer and closer, she realized that there was a sinister air permeating the emerald green surface of the whole body.
... There are really ghosts on this mountain. It seems that the disappearance of those tourists and climbers is not an accident, but a ghost.
But it doesn't matter, Jiang Xiaoli and the others just came to watch the excitement, and they weren't the ones who really made the move. So Jiang Xiaoli didn't think it was too difficult, and secretly expected the three celestial masters to show off a wave of "celestial master special effects" to kill the ghosts.
