After Shang Xia became the Great Talisman Master, the Talisman Hall once solemnly sang talisman for him, which caused a great sensation in the entire Tongyou City.
As the number one master of making talismans in Futang, although Shang Xia believed that he relied more on himself to become a great talisman master, it is undeniable that Futang has always spared no effort in supporting him.
However, since he became the Great Talisman Master, he has either been traveling around or concentrating on making talismans and ignoring external affairs, so that he rarely has time to calm down and specifically instruct the Talisman Masters in the Talisman Hall on their talisman-making techniques.
Well, maybe a few times.
But overall, as the chief talisman master of Fu Tang, Shang Xia is actually not very qualified.
So this time, after Fan Yuanhui and Lou Zizhang came to ask for help, Shang Xia felt that it was indeed necessary to fulfill his responsibilities, so he agreed.
Soon, the news that the Great Talisman Master Shang Xia was about to publicly perform the Talisman in the Talisman Hall spread throughout Tongyou Academy, and soon became known to the entire Tongyou City.
As a result, many people quickly came to our door with requests, hoping that on the day of the Shang Xia talisman performance, they could come and observe it in person.
However, this time the attitude of Futang is very firm. This time the Great Talisman Master's performance of the Talisman is an internal matter of the Talisman Hall, and it may involve the secret of the Great Talisman Master's making of Talisman. Not only are people outside the academy exempt from talking about it, Even people within the academy who have not joined the Talisman Hall are not qualified to observe this Talisman performance.
The matter soon became a commotion, and several middle-level and senior-level teachers and supervisors of the college were alerted. It was not until the fifth-level ancestor Ji Wenlongji, deputy mountain chief, personally issued a message not to interfere in the internal affairs of Futang that the situation was finally calmed down. Come down.
While the outside world was causing disturbances, Shang Xia was carefully trying to figure out how to make the fourth-level formation talisman.
That's right, Shang Xia's intention to perform the talisman in the Talisman Hall this time was to demonstrate the production method of this fourth-level talisman, which is the entry-level talisman among the fourth-level talismans.
Although Shang Xia's attainments in talisman making are now extremely high, even when making fourth-level talismans, they have a very high success rate.
But after all, he had never made a fourth-level talisman before, and he started making it in front of everyone. No one could guarantee how high his success rate would be.
However, the reason why Shang Xia chose the fourth-level formation talisman as the content of the talisman also had his considerations.
The true meaning of performing talismans is still to improve the talisman-making skills of many talisman masters in the talisman hall.
Judging from the current overall situation in Futang, there are only three or four third-level Talisman Masters in total, and the rest are mostly second-level Talisman Masters or first-level Talisman Disciples.
Limited by their own talisman-making skills, even if Shang Xia demonstrated how to make high-level talismans in front of their eyes, they might not be able to gain much.
Therefore, during this talisman performance, Shang Xia will not only choose the fourth-level talisman when demonstrating the production of high-level talismans, that is, the production of first-, second-, and third-level talismans, but will also use the formation of each level. Demonstration is the main focus.
The purpose of this is to show the basic application of Talisman Making to as many people as possible as clearly as possible.
As for whether Shang Xia's original and self-contained method of making talismans would be understood and copied by other talisman masters during this process, Shang Xia did not care about this.
It's not that he doesn't pay attention to his original talisman-making technique, but he is confident that without his personal guidance, no one can figure out the essence of his talisman-making technique, and at most they can just learn the appearance.
This is also the reason why Liu Qinglan was worried that the Fuyin Gaiden would be imitated in the future, but Shang Xia didn't care at all.
Of course, with his current accomplishments as a great Talisman Master, it would be enough for others to imitate him.
Because Talisman Masters often need a quiet environment to make Talisman, therefore, most of the time, the atmosphere in the Talisman Hall is quiet and soothing.
However, today's Futang has changed from its previous atmosphere and has become extremely noisy.
At this time, all the talisman masters and talisman disciples in the talisman hall, including the talisman craftsmen who make the talisman paper, the ink craftsmen who mix the talisman ink, etc., have gathered in the talisman hall.
Everyone sat down on the edges of the Talisman Hall, except for the center of the Talisman Hall.
Many people were whispering to each other, but they could not hide the excitement on their faces. While talking, their eyes glanced towards the center of the Talisman Hall from time to time.
At this time, there was a sturdy square wooden table placed in the center of the Talisman Hall. On the wooden table, pens, inks, paper and inkstones were gathered together. There was even a furnace of incense that had the effect of nourishing and calming the mind and could be lit at any time.
The leaders of the Talisman Hall, including Gong Talisman Master who has become more and more reclusive in recent years, are here. On both sides are two senior third-level Talisman Masters, Fan Yuanhui and Lou Zizhang.
In addition to these three, there are three third-level talisman masters. One is from Tongyou Academy, but does not walk in the talisman hall. The other is from the Ji family, and the third one lives in Tongyou City. People make talismans for a living.
Shang Xia performed the talisman this time. Although the rebirth of the talisman hall was an internal matter of the talisman hall and rejected many requests from outsiders, these third-level talisman masters were not among them.
Under the expectation of everyone, Shang Xia walked into the Fu Hall, and the originally noisy Fu Hall suddenly became silent.
Walking all the way to the wooden table in the center of the Fu Hall, Shang Xia could clearly feel the eager eyes of the people around him looking at him.
Shang Xia first bowed his hands to the leading third-level talisman masters. There were only six third-level talisman masters in the entire Tongyou City.
Regardless of their achievements in making talismans, the six third-level talisman masters in front of them can be regarded as the predecessors of Shang Xia regardless of their age or seniority.
Among the six people, except Master Gong Fu, the other five people avoided and returned the courtesy.
Shang Xia glanced at everyone in Futang and said with a smile: "Shang has received a lot of support from Futang Shangxia over the years, but he has done very little for Futang. Today I am honored to be able to discuss the method of talisman and seal script with everyone here. , I am willing to share some of my bad opinions with you in the past, and I also ask for your criticism and correction to make progress together."
Shang Xia's opening remarks made everyone in Futang look at each other in confusion, and for a moment they didn't know how to react.
Shang Xia didn't care what everyone was thinking, he directly took out a low-quality talisman pen and picked up a first-level talisman paper, and said with a smile: "This time, Shang will only pick the simplest talisman. Let's start from the first level." The formation of the first level begins..."
Under the strange gazes of many talisman masters and talisman disciples, Shang Xia drew the first talisman pattern on the talisman paper seemingly casually, and then explained to everyone the making of the first-order talisman. method, and Shang Xia is really talking about the most basic, even introductory things.
Shang Xia's way of explaining made the people who came to watch the performance of the talisman have different expressions.
Some listened carefully, some thought secretly, some suppressed their minds and continued to observe, some were dismissive, and some looked forward to the conference.
However, no matter what these people think in their hearts, on the surface, due to the cultivation of the Dzogchen of the Fourth Heaven of Shang and Xia and the identity of the Great Talisman Master, they can at least maintain a superficial calm.
It's just that the atmosphere in the Futang became a little weird for a while.
However, Shang Xia seemed completely unaware. He just drew the talisman patterns carefully while trying his best to describe everything he could think of during the process of drawing the talisman, bit by bit. The first-level formation talisman is extremely simple, and Shang Xia quickly completed the production of the first-level formation talisman.
In the meantime, Shang Xia did not pause at all, but immediately began to make the second-level formation talisman.
The production of second-level talismans is much more difficult than that of first-level talismans, and when Shang Xia started to write, there were also many talisman disciples who were eager to be promoted to talisman masters to watch carefully.
Shang Xia, on the other hand, still had the same style as before. He tried to be comprehensive in every stroke of writing, and took the trouble to list all the problems he could think of and the possible mistakes he could avoid. It sounded like a running account.
Not only that, every rune pattern in Shang Xia's talisman making process was written in the most standard manner, without any fancy, let alone any skills or tricks. Every stroke appeared simple and unpretentious. At first glance, It looks even more ordinary.
This made many talisman masters who hoped to hear superb insights on talisman making and observe exquisite techniques from Shang Xia unable to help but be disappointed.
What Shang Xia explained from beginning to end was what they had learned in the past in the process of learning and refining talisman-making techniques. There was nothing refreshing or shocking in what they had experienced. opinion.
From what I have observed so far, Shang Xia gives many Talisman masters the feeling that whoever knows what he is talking about doesn’t seem to be that big of a deal!
Is this how the Great Talisman Master became accomplished?
He has no ideas of his own, no opinions of his own, and no superb talisman-making skills of his own. He just follows the most common, simplest and most basic talisman-making techniques, blindly practicing hard and behind closed doors.
Many talisman masters have even shaken their heads secretly, feeling that they are wasting their time by coming to watch the talisman performance this time!
Shang Xia remained unmoved and continued to insist on his own way of performing talisman. This time he performed talisman only to demonstrate to those who were truly interested in talismans. He did not need to pay attention to some people's special expectations and expectations of him. Require.
After the demonstration of the second-order talisman, Shang Xia took a medium-grade talisman pen, picked up the third-order talisman paper, moistened the third-order talisman ink, and continued to prepare for the demonstration of the third-order talisman.
He did not try to impress others. When making third-level talismans, he chose low-grade talisman pens or low-level talisman inks to prove how brilliant his talisman-making skills were, although this was not difficult for him.
All the processes seemed so regular, but in fact the method of making talismans chosen by Shang Xia was suitable for the actual situation of most talisman masters.
After the demonstration of the third-order talisman began, it was still the same style as before. However, some talisman masters in the talisman hall finally came around.
Shang Xia is using the formation talisman, which can be said to be the entry threshold for each level of martial talisman, to explain the most basic, most applicable, and most suitable talisman-making system.
That's right, Shang Xia is going to build and demonstrate a complete system of Talisman Tao inheritance for the entire Talisman Hall on the spot!
And this is exactly a project that Futang of Tongyou College has always wanted to do in the past, but has always been unable to accomplish it.
But now it is being realized bit by bit by the hands of Shang Xia in full view of the public.
At this time, they were focused from the beginning and carefully observed some of the talisman disciples and talisman masters of Shang Xia who performed talisman. Maybe they were still ignorant, but they truly accepted the talisman inheritance system of Shang Xia from the beginning. It will definitely become the biggest beneficiary of this inheritance system.
On the high platform in the center of the Talisman Hall, Master Gong Talisman, who was the real leader of the Talisman Hall in the past, was so excited that he could hardly control himself.
