It rained in the county town. Just like Zhao Si's confused mood at the moment, it came very suddenly. Lin Cheng knew that staying in the restaurant was not all about eating and drinking. When the raindrops just fell, he swept out a sword and a sword curtain was raised. Before the third raindrop fell on the people, the rain curtain had been completely wiped out. Interception.
Yao Guanhai gave a thumbs up. The two touched the wine cups and drank happily. Jiang Wang was lying on his side in front of the window, looking very melancholy.
Watching the raindrops hitting the sword curtain and picking up countless water splashes is really a beautiful scene. The people protected by the sword curtain were also looking up and watching. It was another scene, with children jumping and playing.
The monks were standing from beginning to end, but they were replaced one after another. In the eyes of the people, compared to the warriors fighting heartily, although the monks came and went, they were all standing face to face, and then replaced. Stand.
It’s hard for them not to come up with an idea. I can do it too. The people in the county did not regard the monks as gods. After all, there were county guards.
However, although the county examination venue was very large, there were also many examiners, and the county guard did not stop the people from watching, and the county examination was just a county examination. If the monks were allowed to let go, the scope of destruction would definitely be wider than that of the warriors.
Then you have to use a lot of magic weapons and talismans, which is obviously a waste of money. It would be better to save some. The examiner's angry scolding attracted the attention of some people.
Because the Celestial Master is special, all those who have studied and have not studied will take the exam together and will not participate in the Autumn Festival. Although there is no clear rule that older people cannot come, there is no need for those who are capable to participate. Those who are not capable, I'm already a lot older, so there's no need for it.
Faced with the examiner's doubts, Zhao Si quickly refuted it vigorously.
"Do you think the beauty-retention talisman is just a piece of cabbage? The average heavenly master can only draw a beauty-retention talisman that can last for a cup of tea. No matter how high it is, it only lasts for a few days. There are only a few days in the whole Sui Dynasty that can last for a long time. The teacher can draw it!”
"Don't say that I didn't use the Beauty Talisman. Even if I did, I didn't break the ban. Don't you just think that the grade of the Talisman I drew is too high? If you want to question it, you have to be reasonable. What's the point of using the Beauty Talisman!" The examiner was rendered speechless.
There are indeed very few elderly people showing up in the past. After all, they have been here when they were young. Now they are either already famous old masters, or they stay alone somewhere and work hard to draw talismans, wasting their lives, or they recognize the reality and rely on a few talismans. Ability, setting up stalls to make money.
But after all, some people have unrealistic ideas and want to become the disciple of Master Zhang before they die.
Even if they draw extremely powerful talismans due to the passage of time, it will be difficult to go further. Even if there are talismans that extend life, it is a fact that their understanding is poor. They can't compare with the Celestial Master who drew the talismans at a young age.
The examiner's doubts are very reasonable. After all, older Celestial Masters with poor understanding always have experience, and in order to have a better chance of winning, they use facial charms to become younger. Naturally, they can use their experience to leave others hundreds of miles behind.
But Zhao Si's rebuttal was also very reasonable. If they had the ability to draw long-lasting beauty charms, why would they take the exam with a bunch of kids? Instead, they would recruit disciples and start a sect directly.
The examiner was also a gentle person and immediately apologized to Zhao Si. Zhao Si also understands the world, so he said, "How dare you?"
"We have to give you a more intuitive evidence. If you have a unique talisman, or an extremely special talisman that is difficult for anyone to get access to outside, you can use it to test me. I will use facts to prove that the four talented people are Words!" Although the examiner is a Fuya Celestial Master, his ability is not very high. Because of this, he will draw some useless but very strange talismans. Naturally, it is difficult for outside Celestial Masters to come into contact with them, and they are even unheard of. .
Hearing this, the examiner applauded and showed a rare talisman he had drawn.
"If you can draw a talisman of the same or even higher rank, then the title of leader of the county talisman examination must be yours. I say this!" Zhao Si said sternly: "The position of leader should be given up." Who am I?" Now more people were watching.
Everyone was talking about it. The examiner looked at the county guard, nodded slightly, put his hands behind his back, and said seriously: "This talisman was a sudden idea one day, and it took me three months to draw it. Its function is... to make the toenails grow longer. "Zhao Si: "..." The people watching: "..."
"I'm sorry, I just lost my hearing. What did you say?" The examiner was a little embarrassed and felt that he was a bit funny for drawing such a talisman, but he still said again: "A talisman that can make people's toenails grow longer. The limit is about one inch. If the rank is improved, the toenails will naturally be longer." The people who heard clearly looked at each other.
Your talisman is really powerful. If I don't cut my toenails for a year, wouldn't I be more powerful than your talisman?
I use the talisman to make my toenails longer, and then I cut them off. So what do I need your talisman for? Is it to practice my nail-cutting technique?
Zhao Si was silent for a long time and asked: "Why toenails, but not fingernails?" The examiner nodded seriously,
"That's another talisman."
"..." Zhao Si picked up the talisman paper and placed it on the case, then picked up the knife and pen and said, "Then it will be embarrassing!" The examiner smiled slightly and glanced at the other people drawing talismans next to him. Some of them had already finished the exam. The spectators at the second door were those who had just come from the first door. When he turned his attention to Zhao Si again, he saw Zhao Si silently picking up the teapot and pouring tea.
"Huh? Are you tired now?" Zhao Si took a sip of tea and said, "The painting is finished." The examiner felt as if a certain nerve was disconnected, and his brain was empty for a moment. He seemed to have also lost his hearing, and said doubtfully: "Have you finished painting?" The onlookers did not look away and nodded silently. However, they doubted that the talisman painted in just a few strokes was actually a scrap. They felt that Zhao Si was a bit too perfunctory and could not draw it if he could not. Go out, I said so much before, it’s too pretentious.
Zhao Bang looked calm and said casually: "I have improved the rank of the talisman, and the nails on my hands and feet have become longer, but I have not raised the rank too high. After all, it is too scary to directly grow nails hundreds of feet long. It can only make my nails three inches longer, which is enough to show off my talent." Everyone shuddered as they imagined their nails going straight across a street.
The people's discussion was very noisy. The people watching who were also examinees had different expressions and were all young, but they did not directly mock or question Zhao Bang. After all, you will know if the talisman is useful after trying it, but even if they suspected that the talisman was useless, they did not want to Try it yourself.
The examiner volunteered and took over the responsibility of testing the talisman. He took off his boots and socks, revealing his insteps full of veins and clean nails. He directly attached the talisman to his body and showed his hands to the onlookers.
Lin Chengzhi and Yao Guanhai in the restaurant also noticed the scene. Lin Chengzhi naturally recognized Zhao Si and said to Jiang Wang: "I heard that Pei Xingling mentioned that this painter of yours knows a little about talismans and found Xu Changzhu hidden in Huncheng, but his speed in painting talismans is too high. too fast?"
"If you come here blindly, the examiner has the right to tell him to go home directly." Jiang Wang thought about Xiaoyu. He must not have been given a bad luck charm, so the only one who could give Xiaoyu a good luck charm was Zhao Si.
It even affects me who is already in the Snow Bathing Realm. Although it is only a very subtle impact, after all, I don't really want to do anything to Xiaoyu, otherwise the talisman will have no effect.
But it also proves that Zhao Si's skills in drawing talismans have improved again. It also proves Xiaoyu's determination to make all gods face saints.
If it is a good luck charm that has a great influence and Xiaoyu's own level is not low, then it will be difficult for Xiaoyu to be defeated as long as the difference in strength is not too great.
Even if the Iron Hammer girl at the Grandmaster level would be slightly affected, it would be minimal, but others would be in bad luck.
Jiang Wang said faintly: "He is serious about painting the talisman, and you know nothing about his talent." Lin Chengzhi was very curious.
The examiner showed his hands and feet very seriously. Therefore, it takes some time for such talismans to work. In addition to the common people who don't understand, they are a little anxious and even shout that the talisman is useless. What's more, the idea of I can do it again comes up. After all, Zhao Si finished the painting in just a few times. It is purely a painting. Who doesn't know how to have fun?
People who understand are waiting patiently, but their expressions are becoming more and more consistent. Only Zhang Tianshi in the Sui Dynasty could draw a new talisman for the first time and complete it in a very short time.
They felt ashamed that they had even the slightest expectation. Finally, someone couldn't help but said loudly: "If the examiner's toenails are really long, I will chew them all up and eat them!" Zhao Si sighed to himself, what an unlucky thing.
As soon as the man finished speaking, the examiner's fingernails began to grow longer. The three-inch change was extremely obvious and could be seen clearly.
The speaker's face turned red and he backed away silently. But no one paid attention to him at this moment, because the talisman that Zhao Si drew at random turned out to be a real talisman, and its quality was much higher than the talisman that the examiner had drawn for three months.
Even if the examiner created something from scratch, Zhao Si only had to take a picture according to the talisman, but it was still an exaggeration. The talisman was very complicated, and the talisman would be destroyed if it missed even the slightest trace. It was not easy to make a simple talisman, let alone something beyond. .
There are still many people stuck in the first gate to learn Qi, and even fewer come to the second gate to draw talismans. The second gate for monks and warriors is also very limited. I think it is difficult for those who have never learned Qi in the future to have Zhao Si's talent. The examiner, who is a Celestial Master, was particularly excited.
Enjoying the looks of shock slowly turning to admiration around him, Zhao Si pretended to be serious, tilted his head and stared at the rain and mist of the sword curtain, leaving the side of his face and the back of his head to others.
Lin Chengzhi was stunned. He didn't understand the talisman, but he also knew that it was very powerful.
"Your painter has something special." Jiang Wang clicked his tongue and said, "It's just so so." Lin Chengzhi looked at Xiaoyu again and said, "Isn't your maid also a genius?" Jiang Wang waved his hand and retorted. : "Aside from being naturally beautiful and obedient, my maid can't do anything else!"
