Shopkeeper Kuang moved into the Furong Garden of Maoyuan Inn with his family and entourage.
According to what Shopkeeper Kuang said, we were halfway through the journey to Queling Mountain, and it would be difficult to encounter any decent villages or towns in the next few hundred miles, so he rested for a few days in Caobao Town to treat Pan Yuan's leg injury and get another one. Buy and sell food. So everyone found their own place and got along harmoniously with each other.
The so-called harmony varies from person to person. Once Yu Ye appeared in the courtyard, either Pan Yuan's curses or Cai'er's laughter could be heard. For the sake of everyone's harmonious coexistence and the tranquility of the courtyard, he simply hid in the room without showing his face.
He was also very happy, he was busy drawing the talisman.
On the table, floor, and bed in the guest room, there were small pieces of paper covered with red cinnabar everywhere.
Yu Ye sat at the table, still scribbling away with his pen.
In the blink of an eye, he had lived in Furong Garden for four days. At night, he absorbed spirit stones, during the day he learned to draw talismans, and when he ate, he took a few bites and then hid in his room. But hard work paid off, and now he is able to skillfully draw complete talisman diagrams.
Yu Ye drew another armor-breaking talisman, picked it up and looked at it carefully.
There are no flaws on the upper and lower sides of the talisman diagram, and it looks perfect from left to right. Even if a Taoist master draws a talisman, it's nothing more than that.
And what will happen when it is used?
Yu Ye thought about the method in "Tai Shang Ling Fu", held the talisman paper between his fingers and swiped to write it down, silently recited the formula in his mouth, and then patted his forehead.
Why is there no movement?
Already invisible?
Yu Ye looked at himself sitting at the table, with nothing changing around him.
Oh, is invisibility just a relative term, that is, when casting a spell, others cannot see you?
At this moment, the closed door opened a crack, revealing a delicate little face, blinking black eyes and looking around.
It's actually a dish.
She didn't seem to see the person sitting at the table next to the door. She just stared at the papers on the floor and bed, and said suspiciously: "This person stays behind closed doors all day long and is so sneaky..."
Yu Ye couldn't help but stretched out his hand and shook it.
If Cai'er can't see him, it means that the armor-breaking talisman has shown the power of invisibility!
Unexpectedly, Cai'er suddenly glared at him and scolded in a sweet voice: "Freeloader, are you stupid?"
Miss Kuang is young, has a childlike innocence, and likes to play tricks on others. Yu Ye either ignored her or avoided her. She had nothing to do today, so she went looking for it, only to see small pieces of paper all over the floor, and a man sitting at the table, his head pressed against the cinnabar-smeared piece of paper, waving to her stupidly.
Yu Ye woke up suddenly and hurriedly put away the talisman.
The door closed, and Cai'er's sigh sounded outside the door——
"Oh, it's okay to be a freeloader. Who wants to be a fool!"
Yu Ye sat blankly, his brows tangled, and after a moment, he shook his head helplessly.
It doesn't matter if he is stupid, the key is that the armor-breaking talisman is useless.
Is the talisman drawn wrong?
According to the talisman drawing, it should be correct.
Could it be that the secret book passed down by Yan Chi’s family is fake, and the "Tai Shang Ling Fu" is also fake? And how could the talismans hidden in the jade slips be fake?
Yu Ye got up and put away the talismans all over the room, then lay on the bed and continued to meditate.
When it got dark, Ji Yan called him to have dinner. The dining area is located in the hall of the main house. There is a straw mat on the floor, wooden tables, lamps, wine and food. Shopkeeper Kuang sat in the middle, with his wife, young lady, Pan Yuan, Yuan Jiu, Mo Can and Ji Yan sitting around. Yu Ye silently took a pancake and a bowl of soup, squatted alone under the corridor to enjoy it, then returned to the guest room and continued to ponder his armor-breaking talisman.
When the night got darker, Ji Yan, who was living in the same room, began to snore. Yu Ye got up from the couch and sat cross-legged. He held the spirit stone in his palm, breathed out and practiced the "Tiangang Sutra" and the Seven Kills Sword Qi.
At dawn, Ji Yan got up early and went out. He saw Yu Ye sitting and sleeping again, but he didn't take it to heart. As soon as he walked out of the room, Yu Ye opened his eyes from sitting quietly.
Open your palm and take a handful of gravel.
The only spiritual stone he had was finally exhausted. As for how many levels his cultivation level has reached, he still can't tell clearly. I just feel that the true energy in my body is a little more abundant, and it should be more than enough to use the sword energy once.
Without the spirit stone, I can only let nature take its course in my future cultivation.
And what should we do when facing the masters from Qizhou? If you meet Bu Yi...
I dare not think about it any further.
Yu Ye jumped off the bed, rolled up the fragments of the spirit stone and the invalid talismans and put them under his arm. He opened the courtyard door and went straight to the inn's kitchen. He threw the paper ball into the firewood under the stove and turned to the street.
It was still early and there were few people on the streets.
Most of the shops on both sides of the street have opened their doors, and the clerks and shopkeepers are spraying water and cleaning, busy for another day's business.
Yu Ye looked around for a moment and walked along the street.
In just a few steps, the Herbal Medicine Inn is right in front of you. The shop had just opened, and a middle-aged man was dismantling the door panels. He greeted with a smile: "Brother, if you want to buy cinnabar, you might as well go to the drug store to take a look!"
Yu Ye quickly shook his head and said awkwardly: "Since the big brother recognizes the little brother, he should remember the big brother who talked to me a few days ago. I don't know where he lives. How can I find him?"
"oh……"
The middle-aged man was a clerk at the medicine store. While disassembling the door panel, he thought: "You are talking about the guest from out of town. He came here specifically to purchase medicinal materials. He left Herb Town that day. Where did he go? ...The shopkeeper should know, I will ask you later."
"Thank you, brother, no need!"
Yu Ye turned around and left the Baicao Inn, feeling a little disappointed and a little lucky for a moment.
The reason why he ventured out again was to look for the young man he met in the medicine shop three days ago. Since that man knows how to refine the talisman, he might be able to ask for advice. And if the other party is a Qizhou master who conceals his cultivation, his actions today are tantamount to seeking death.
Fortunately, that person should have nothing to do with the monks from Qizhou; unfortunately, no one helped him to figure it out.
His current practice, even drawing talismans, is like a blind man walking at night. He can only explore and explore alone. The difficulties and embarrassment often make him at a loss. And he has a stubborn temper, and he never gives up easily when he is right.
At this moment, several people walked out of Maoyuan Inn on horseback.
Yu Ye turned around and hid in a shop next to the street, quietly looking back.
Riding on the horses were four men, who looked like people from the martial arts world. I wonder if they were from Boss Hu. They should also be staying at the Maoyuan Inn. They got up early and were on their way.
"Brother, can you try the freshly baked pancakes?"
What I accidentally walked into was a shop selling food, and a woman greeted her affectionately.
Yu Ye dropped a piece of broken silver, took two pancakes, picked up a piece of braised pork between them, and walked towards the inn while eating.
The pancakes are crispy, the braised pork is fragrant, and delicious!
The shop is located next to the inn, and beyond the shop is the gatehouse of the inn.
Yu Ye slowed down, his expression slightly condensed.
A familiar figure left the gatehouse. At the same time, in the right corner of the inn yard, another familiar figure waved his empty sleeves and disappeared into the stable.
Yu Ye ate the pancake, lowered his head and moved forward silently. After finishing the pancakes, Furong Garden also arrived.
After pushing open the courtyard door, Pan Yuan was lying on the stool in front of the door with his eyes closed and concentrating. Yuan Jiu stood beside him with his arms folded, staring at him coldly with a pair of slit eyes. Under the corridor of the main room, Mrs. Kuang and Cai'er were sitting together embroidering red needlework.
Yu Ye walked directly to the guest room.
"Hey, freeloader, have you had breakfast?"
It's food again, and the girl doesn't stop at all.
Yu Ye pretended not to hear, entered the guest room, slammed the door, walked to the table and sat down in a daze. After a while, he placed the pottery bowl, cinnabar, wine flask and remaining talismans in front of him.
The man I met at the medicine shop a few days ago said that overseas immortal sects use the skin and blood of spiritual animals to refine talismans. The talisman drawn with cinnabar is not suitable for the eyes of experts at all. Thinking from this, the fire talisman sacrificed by Chen Qi and the Qizhou master should have been refined from the skin and blood of spiritual beasts. It was just because they didn't understand it at the time that they didn't pay attention to it. If you refine the armor-breaking talisman according to this method, you might get unexpected gains.
There is no spirit beast skin or spirit beast blood.
The wolf skin should be a psychic beast, and the wolf brush used to draw the talisman is based on its psychic meaning. And for a while, the wolf skin was nowhere to be found. The so-called blood of spirit beasts or wolf blood is even more impossible to find. And after thinking hard for many days, how can we give up halfway?
Yu Ye poured a little cinnabar into the pottery bowl, added wine, then bit his fingertip and dripped a few drops of blood.
It is said in the classics that man is the leader of all spirits. Human blood should be far better than the blood of spiritual beasts, right?
As for the monk's blood, is it even more powerful?
Yu Ye used his own blood to concoct cinnabar, which seemed ingenious or a unique way, but in fact he was forced to do so. If you are proficient in making talismans, why bother messing around like this? Who doesn’t feel pain if he bites his finger?
Yu Ye spread out the few remaining pieces of talisman paper and picked up the Langhao pen, only to find that the bloody wound on his finger had healed. He was not at all happy, but secretly complained.
If the dripping of blood is not enough, you need to bite your finger again?
Yu Ye put aside his distracting thoughts, held his breath and concentrated, dipped the pen in cinnabar, filled the tip of the pen with true energy, meditated on the talisman of the armor-breaking talisman, and then moved forward with the dragon and snake in one go.
He put down the wolf brush in his hand, picked up the talisman and looked at it intently.
The blood-red cinnabar is bright and eye-catching, and there are still no flaws visible in the entire rune diagram. And how could such a perfect armor-breaking talisman be useless?
Yu Ye looked at the talisman and recited the formula silently. Just as he was trying to figure it out, a ball of flame lit up in his hand. He was so frightened that he hurriedly threw away his hand. The flame suddenly went out, and the talisman disappeared, leaving only a ball of ashes on the ground. He was stunned for a while, then suddenly grinned.
"hey-hey……"
The armor-breaking talisman is real. The symbol diagram is also correct.
Drawing talismans with human blood is extremely effective. The reason why it failed was because the talisman paper could not withstand the magic power of the talisman diagram. As long as he can find animal skins to replace the talisman, his armor-breaking talisman should be ready!
At this moment, Ji Yan opened the door and walked in.
"Hey, no wonder the lady said you are stupid. Why are you hiding in your room and having fun?"
"I……"
"I don't care if you are stupid or not, but remember, we will set off tomorrow morning. Don't wait if it's late!"
"Leaving tomorrow morning?"
"If you have other plans, please feel free to do so!"
"Another explanation from the shopkeeper?"
"certainly!"
