Li Xiuyuan carried a thick pile of books out of the living room to find the room he wanted to live in. In Gui Guzi's words, he might have to live here for one to two years.
Reading was his favorite thing. He didn't have many books to read in Taoist temples before, but later he found the joy of reading in Master's bamboo house in the academy.
After simply cleaning up the room and moving all the books about talismans that Gui Guzi had piled up in the living room to his own room, he raised his head and asked, "Teacher, could it be said that the lines on these peach charms drawn by ghosts are also runes?"
Guiguzi raised his head and looked at him and replied: "These are the crystallizations collected by the sages from heaven and earth. You can use them as a reference. They don't have to be the same as them."
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said, "I know, I will try to understand them."
Guiguzi shook his head and replied: "Don't be impatient. Spend some time writing a flame talisman first, boil a pot of water for tea for me, and then continue to learn other talismans."
"The practice of Fu Dao is not something that happens overnight. You can't rush it. Fortunately, you have the basics before. Otherwise, you would have to walk for a whole year to get started."
Looking at Li Xiuyuan in front of him, Guiguzi showed a proud smile on his face.
Listening to Guiguzi's words, Li Xiuyuan subconsciously thought of the small Taoist temple on Luoxia Mountain, and wondered if there was really God's will in the dark? Otherwise, how could I have met an old Taoist priest when I was young and inherited the practice of runes from him?
Guiguzi looked at him and smiled and said: "It's not that there is God's will in the dark, but if you have the ability to learn how to write the peace talisman from the old Taoist priest, then you will have the ability to finish writing this flame talisman with me."
Li Xiuyuan chuckled and said, "Everything has God's will."
...
Returning to the room, he lowered his head and meditated intently on what Guiguzi said. He looked up at the dozens of thick rune books in front of him, thinking that even the old Taoist priest who left back then would never think that he would learn to write one day. Runes, right?
There are pens, inks, and cinnabar materials on the table. There are materials he brought from the Taoist Temple, as well as various materials that Guiguzi had already prepared here. There is no need for him to worry about the materials for writing talismans.
From the third moment of the past hour to the third moment of the unitary hour, Li Xiuyuan felt that his pair of time-breaking moments were constantly operating, helping him absorb the essence of his predecessors from different rune books. He could even feel a trace of light between his fingers. The green energy and true energy surged out.
Could it be that true energy can also write runes?
But after a while, Li Xiuyuan felt that his black and white eyes were dizzy again, and then his eyes fell into a deep sleep again.
"Is it because the power of yin and yang is not enough? In this case, can you go under the tower tomorrow and try to absorb a little bit of the power of yin and yang between heaven and earth?
Thinking of this, he felt that he would have to ask his teacher Gui Guzi tomorrow to see if he could walk around under the sky tower. After the black and white eyes were full, he would come back to read.
Li Xiuyuan no longer looked down to study the runes in the book, but began to grind pine ink with cinnabar. When the ink and cinnabar were mixed together, he reached out and picked up a wolf hair and slowly dipped the ink into the inkstone.
With the experience of writing runes on Luoxia Mountain, his smile was naturally calm and composed. The basic skills of his runes should have been taught by the old Taoist priests. The fairy spiritual energy in the Dantian passed through the Ren channel and went to the Du channel, and finally passed through the right hand. It gathered on the wolf hair on the fingertips.
Lifting the pen and coming out of the inkstone, the pen falls on the yellow paper, which means the pen moves like a dragon or a snake.
I read before noon and started writing in the middle of Xu Shi. In the dead of night, a weak flame burned quietly in front of Li Xiuyuan. It didn't take a year or half a month, but it took most of the day's work.
Li Xiuyuan, who came from Shura Kaiyu, wrote a talisman in one day, even though it was just a spark.
However, this spark of fire can burn into the sky.
In the dead of night, Li Xiuyuan, who was guarding an oil lamp, kept writing. There was already a thick stack of runes with wet ink piled up on the table.
Li Xiuyuan wanted to see if these flame talismans could boil a pot of water for his teacher Guiguzi tomorrow.
This night, he was excited and looking forward to it. According to this progress, as long as he went to the Sky Tower tomorrow to absorb a bit of the power of heaven and earth, or in less than five days, he would be able to write the rune he wanted.
Just after midnight, Li Xiuyuan fell into a deep sleep with a room full of runes on his pillow.
...
On this day, Li Xiuyuan got up later than before. It wasn't until Chenshi that he hurriedly washed up and got into the kitchen to cook a pot of porridge.
When he came to the living room with a pot of porridge, the teacher Guiguzi had already gotten up early and was sitting at the table holding a book and reading.
Standing in front of the table, Li Xiuyuan gave Guiguzi a bowl of porridge, looked at him and said, "Teacher, eat porridge, and we will try to make a fire and boil water later."
Guiguzi nodded, reached out to take the bowl and lowered his head.
Li Xiuyuan also held his own bowl and looked at the two bowls of porridge with fondness.
"I see you are in a good mood. I think you learned something from your study yesterday."
Guiguzi put down the bowl in his hand, looked at him and said with a smile. Anyone with a frown on his face usually means he is having trouble studying, but the Li Xiuyuan in front of him is obviously not the case.
After putting away the bowls and chopsticks at the table and returning to the kitchen, Li Xiuyuan entered the living room with a pile of talisman papers. He looked at Gui Guzi and said with a smile, "Disciple, come and try to make a pot of boiling water for the teacher to make tea."
Gui Guzi curiously looked at the talisman paper held in Li Xiuyuan's hand and asked, "Do you want to use the runes to boil water, or use a pile of waste paper to boil water?"
Li Xiuyuan responded with a smile: "Of course it's the rune. If the firepower is not enough, the student will continue to work hard."
"Okay, let's get started. I just added water to this pot."
Guiguzi also wanted to know that as his new disciple, yesterday he could only write out the Peace Talisman. Could it be that he just spent a day writing out the legendary Flame Talisman?
If you can really boil the pot of water on the stove for yourself, then I'm afraid it's not a miracle but a miracle.
Full of anxiety, Li Xiuyuan took out a piece of talisman paper and handed it to him, saying, "Teacher, please light this first talisman. Today is a day worth remembering."
Gui Guzi opened his mouth slightly, remembering Li Xiuyuan's confident laughter yesterday, and full of expectation, he reached out and took the talisman and stuffed it into the stove...
"Boom!" There was a soft sound, and a weak flame burned gently in the small stove.
"Move faster." Guiguzi laughed loudly and said with excitement: "This is a miracle on the Great Wall. It only took less than a day's work. You are the pride of the division and the pride of the four armies of the Great Wall. ."
Li Xiuyuan's mouth opened a little wider, and with a flick of his hand, another rune burned and he stuffed it into the small stove.
He looked at Guiguzi and said, "Teacher, do you think these runes written by this disciple can boil a pot of water?"
Guiguzi laughed, patted his shoulder playfully and said, "Since you have the confidence to win, the teacher will naturally give you confidence that you can actually do it."
"I can, I did it." Li Xiuwu opened his eyes and said, "Or I can really do it and spend half a month making that arrow."
"Disciple, you surprise me so much." Gui Guzi looked at him and said, "Of the dozens of monks on the Great Wall, you are number one in terms of understanding. I look forward to your arrows engraved with runes. "
"I also want to test the power of that arrow branch to see who is more powerful, the desolate man or my talisman arrows."
Li Xiuyuan kept putting the burning fire talisman into the stove while listening carefully to the sound in the kettle, hoping that he could use his fire talisman to boil a pot of water for the teacher.
As Gui Guzi said, this day will be a small step in the evolution of the Great Wall's weapons and equipment.
This day will also be a big step for Li Xiuyuan in his spiritual journey. From a little Taoist priest, he has taken another big step towards the legendary Talisman Master.
Looking at the flames in the stove, although it was weak, the firepower was not low. It only took a dozen flame charms to make the water in the pot make a whining sound.
The Master was so excited that he could not speak. He just pointed at the kettle on the stove and kept laughing.
Li Xiuyuan put away the remaining dozen flame talismans. Although these talismans were of little use, they were witnesses of his life's practice and could not be thrown away.
Gui Guzi suppressed the shock in his heart, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "How did you do it?"
Li Xiuyuan pointed at his eyes and smiled: "Teacher, I have a pair of eyes that can break delusions. It helped me find inspiration from books and my master who has left."
"Well, your eyes are good, really good! Your old Taoist priest is also good."
Guiguzi was in a good mood and kept laughing looking at him.
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, looked at him and asked, "Teacher, if I go and stand under the Sky Tower for a while, there should be no problem, right?"
Gui Guzi was stunned, looked at him and said, "Why is that? Could it be that you worked too hard yesterday, and you want to go over and replenish a little bit of the yin and yang energy of heaven?"
Li Xiuyuan replied softly: "If I can go there, I can naturally recover faster."
Gui Guzi thought for a moment, looked at him and said, "You just stood under the tower for a while, it should be fine. If someone troubles you, tell them that you are my disciple, Gui Guzi."
Although Guiguzi is not yet in the transcendent realm, he is only one step away from it. In the Great Wall, there is no one who does not buy his face.
"Actually, I just want to master this rune quickly and start making arrows. After all, it is also a strenuous job and takes a lot of effort."
Guiguzi looked at him and shook his head, then continued: "If Chen Guangming learns that you spent one night writing the fire talisman, I wonder what he will think?!"
Li Xiuyuan opened his mouth wide and sighed softly: "Even if I write the flame talisman, it is only the first step in completing the crafting of talisman arrows."
Guiguzi stroked his white beard on his chin and said with a serious expression: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, now that you have written it down, there is no need to be impatient. In the following days, you can fully appreciate the regulation of this firepower."
Li Xiuyuan picked up the water red pot to make tea, washed the cup, warmed it, poured Guiguzi a cup of tea brewed with fire symbols, and said softly: "This is the first pot of tea brewed with symbols in my life."
Guiguzi reached out to pick up the tea cup, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said seriously: "Tomorrow, tomorrow will be better."
...
After three courses of tea, Li Xiuyuan left Guiguzi's residence and walked in the direction of the Sky Tower. He wanted to leave early and come back early, and then come back to read the remaining dozens of thick Fu Dao books.
As soon as Li Xiuyuan left, Chen Guangming came in, looked at Guiguzi and asked, "Master, where is that guy Li Xiuyuan? How has he learned from you?"
Guiguzi asked him to sit down at the table, reached out and poured him a cup of hot tea, and said with admiration: "That's right, that's a very powerful little guy. I asked him to go under the Sky Tower to feel the power of heaven and earth."
When Chen Guangming heard this, he looked at him and asked: "Master, can it be said that the runes have already been written, considering that he has not practiced with you for less than a day?"
Guiguzi picked up the tea cup in front of him and said with a wry smile: "If I told you that the cup of tea you drank was water boiled with the written runes, would you believe it?"
"I see." Chen Guangming raised his eyebrows and said, "Even if you beat me to death, you still can't believe it?!"
"I don't believe it either, but it happened right next to me." Guiguzi looked at him and smiled lightly.
