"Junior brother, please leave first!" Shi Changming finished writing a complicated "rune" and looked up to see Liu Yu sitting cross-legged at the coffee table in a daze, but he spoke.
Liu Yu was reflecting on some of the mistakes he had made these days and was in a state of wandering. He was awakened by Shi Changming's words and quickly replied: "Brother, I'll wait for you! Let's go to the dining hall together."
"It's getting late. After I finish drawing this talisman, I'm going to see an old friend. You don't have to wait for me." Shi Changming said.
"Brother, I'll take my leave now." Seeing that he had nothing to do, Liu Yu stood up and said.
Shi Changming nodded and said, "Go!"
Liu Yu left the house and walked towards Xiao Jun's talisman-making room. She saw that the door was closed tightly. Looking in from the window, she found that there was no one inside. It seems that Xiao Jun finished drawing the talisman and left first.
Liu Yu left Qianfu Building through the back door and walked towards the dining hall. Since arriving in Beiluan City, apart from his residence, the place Liu Yu went to most was the dining hall of Huangyi Courtyard, once in the morning and once in the evening.
Low-level cultivators cannot live without food, and are no different from ordinary mortals. They still need to "eat, drink, and defecate," but they only live longer.
At Unitary Time, the sky was already gray and dark clouds were gathering, fearing that it was going to rain heavily. There were very few pedestrians in the alleyway, and the biting cold wind blew on the face like a knife. It was chilly and poured straight into people's clothes. Liu Yu wore " "Tianying ink-dyed robe" made of three-forged spirit brocade, still feels a bit chilly.
Liu Yu returned to his residence from the dining hall, first lit the incense, and then wanted to take out the "Dragon Red Robe" and brew a pot of hot tea to dispel the cold. He looked through the storage bag with his spiritual consciousness and found that the tea had been used up. All I could do was heat up a pot of boiled water and take a sip. It was bland and tasteless, just like this ordinary day.
A few days ago, Fang Lanlan came to Liu Yu and invited him to a banquet. Fang Lanlan and Zhou Qiufeng were going back to Huangsheng Mountain, so they specially held a banquet at Baixiang Tower and invited some acquaintances from the same disciples as a farewell banquet.
Liu Yu instinctively refused Fang Lanlan on the grounds that she could no longer leave, but Fang Lanlan did not persist. Although Liu Yu had let go and wanted to wish Fang Lanlan a good home, she still had a grudge in her heart. For some reason, she just didn't want to see Zhou Qiufeng.
"Junior Brother Liu, it's so cold here." Xiao Jun said as he pushed the door open and walked in wearing a white fox fur coat.
Liu Yu said with a smile: "It is indeed a bit abnormal. Brother Xiao, sit down quickly."
Xiao Jun first poured himself a cup of hot tea, and found that it was boiled water. He couldn't help but frowned, but didn't take it to heart. Then he drank a whole cup, warmed himself up and said, "Junior brother, can you draw a talisman today?" improvement?"
Seeing Liu Yu shaking her head bitterly, Xiao Jun continued: "Junior brother, you don't have to worry. Brother, the spells you draw every day are both physical and spiritual. You will be able to fully master them soon."
Liu Yu picked up the teapot and wanted to add a cup to Xiao Jun. Then he remembered that the teapot was just boiled water, and quickly said apologetically: "The tea has been brewed. I have been busy drawing talismans these days. I have no time to buy more. I can't entertain you." Zhou, senior brother, please come and measure me."
"Your "Dragon Red Robe" is indeed a good tea. I won't be able to drink it anymore. What a pity! Brother, I also have some exquisite "Tieguanyin". Junior brother, come and try it and appreciate it." Xiao Jun said regretfully said.
Xiao Jun took out a small bag of dry tea and put it into the pot. After brewing it, he poured a cup for Liu Yu. The tea was golden, black and fragrant.
Liu Yu's mouth was dry and tasteless, so he quickly picked it up and took a big sip. It was sweet and moist, and he said with a satisfied look, "Good tea!"
The two drank tea and chatted until late at night, before Xiao Jun said goodbye and left. Liu Yu sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced meditation, while recovering the "soul energy" consumed by drawing talismans during the day.
At midnight on the second day, as soon as Liu Yu opened the door, a gust of cold wind filled with snowflakes rushed in, and Liu Yu couldn't help but shudder.
I saw a vast expanse of white outside, and snowflakes were falling in droves. The sky and the earth were one color, covered in silver, and it was snowing. This scene reminded Liu Yu of an ancient poem: "Suddenly, a spring breeze came overnight, and thousands of pear blossoms bloomed on the trees. open".
The huge plum tree "Qianxue" stands in the middle of the courtyard. At this time, the crown and branches are covered with white snow, just like a girl covered in white. There are layers of plum blossoms and snow, and the clouds are steaming with clouds and rosy clouds, which is particularly spectacular.
Suddenly I saw a magpie on a branch with its head curled up and shivering, which made me feel pity for it. The air was filled with a thick fragrance, which was refreshing to the soul. Liu Yu took a deep breath, and the cool fragrance was like intoxication, which made her feel refreshed.
Liu Yu was born in the country of Yue, where the weather is like spring all year round and the climate is pleasant. In Liu Yu's impression, it rarely snows, let alone the flying snow in the sky. It feels very fresh and brightens up the dull mood.
"Brother, is it so early?" Liu Yu rushed to the talisman-making room and found that Shi Changming had drawn a few simple "runes" on the talisman paper, and greeted him enthusiastically.
Shi Changming put down his pen and said calmly: "It's too cold to sleep."
When Liu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He couldn't understand. As a cultivator at the tenth level of qi training, how could Shi Changming be like a mortal and be too cold to sleep.
Liu Yu is young and full of vitality, so he naturally does not know the sorrow of being an octogenarian. Although Shi Changming has a body that can ward off diseases and avoid evil, he is still a mortal body. He is approaching the end of his life. His body is weak and exhausted, and his body is decaying. He is no different from an old man in the world. .
"Brother, it's really snowing outside." Liu Yu said with emotion as she patted the snowflakes from her hair.
Shi Changming asked: "Junior brother, how long have you been in Beiluan City?"
"More than four months." Liu Yu replied truthfully.
Shi Changming looked like he knew this and said with a smile: "Junior brother, guess how long it will snow for?"
"Three or five days," he said casually.
Liu Yu saw Shi Changming shake his head and then said, "Ten days?"
"Half a month?"
"It won't be next month!" Liu Yu guessed after seeing Shi Changming smiling and not nodding.
Shi Changming touched his beard and said inscrutably: "This snow will not stop a year ago."
"There are still nearly three months before the New Year's Eve. Does it have to rain for so long?" Liu Yu exclaimed.
Shi Changming has stayed in Beiluan City for almost twenty years. Naturally, he knows that the winter in Beiluan City is full of snow and frozen for thousands of miles, and it will not get better until after the New Year.
"Senior brother, I'm going to "Gui Yi Tang" to buy some talisman paper." Liu Yugang wanted to take out the "pine wood talisman paper" to practice drawing talismans, only to realize that it had been used up yesterday.
Shi Changming frowned and stopped Liu Yu, and persuaded: "Junior brother Liu, it is a good thing to study and practice the "Tao of Talisman" diligently, but you must put "cultivation" first. You should keep the spiritual stones on your body and buy cultivation elixirs. good."
Shi Changming saw that Liu Yu had consumed more than a dozen "Pine Wood Talisman Papers" every day in the past half month. In total, he had spent more than 2,000 low-level spiritual stones. This was a huge sum for an ordinary sect disciple. Not a small fee.
In Shi Changming's view, Liu Yu is now a "talisman disciple" and can receive thirty "pine wood talisman papers" every month. If he practices with these talisman papers, he will naturally achieve something after a year and a half. Eager for success. As long as you spend more time, you can save this spiritual stone to assist in cultivation. Why not do it, so I started to persuade him.
"Junior brother understands what he means. Don't worry! Junior brother knows what he means." Liu Yu said gratefully. Liu Yu has mediocre knowledge and qualifications, and time is extremely precious to him. Liu Yu is not short of spiritual stones for the time being, but what is lacking is time. In order to save these spiritual stones, he cannot wait for such a long time.
Shi Changming saw that Liu Yu had his own opinions, and after getting in touch with him during this period, Liu Yu's words and deeds were gentle and elegant, and he didn't look like the kind of person who acted on impulse, so he stopped trying to persuade him.
