As if he was deliberately avoiding Li Xiuyuan, just like yesterday, when Li Xiuyuan went out to the Sky Tower, Chen Guangming entered Guiguzi's courtyard.
Looking at Chen Guangming who had arrived late, Guiguzi smiled and said, "Did you do it on purpose?"
Chen Guangming said helplessly: "I still have a lot of things to do in the military camp. I just took the time to come over and take a look at the boy's progress. Is there any surprise for me?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to surprise you today, but I'll be frightened."
Guiguzi pointed to the two remaining talisman papers on the table and replied calmly: "Today, he prepared eleven pieces for boiling water, but only nine were used. What do you think these are?"
Chen Guangming stared at Guiguzi speechlessly, and after a while he finally managed to say: "That was indeed a shock."
Gui Guzi smiled and said solemnly: "Li Xiuyuan is a rare genius. If he really researches this talisman arrow, I think your level should be raised one level higher to do what he wants." General."
"I don't have that big ambition. As long as this guy rectifies the talisman arrows for me, I will no longer be afraid of the barbarians risking their lives to destroy the Great Wall."
Looking at the old man in front of him, Chen Guangming took a deep breath.
Guiguzi frowned and looked at Chen Guangming, and said: "This is not just for your Qinglong Army, it is a sharp weapon for the four legions. Even if it is not used for charge, it is also a great weapon for defense."
Chen Guangming nodded and laughed. He didn't think as much as Gui Guzi at the time. In his opinion, this was an impossible task. He could only try it by the way. What if he succeeded?
Judging from the current situation, Li Xiuyuan and he are at least on the road to success.
"Because he is anxious, I am also anxious with him, and both of us are anxious because of you."
Guiguzi lowered his head and looked at the kettle whirring on the fire on the table, and said slowly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to become a Talisman Master in this life, but I, as a student, have hope of crossing that threshold and entering the realm where even I can. An unimaginable height.”
After saying this, Guiguzi shook his head and sighed.
Chen Guangming looked at Guiguzi and was silent for a long time, then said with sudden realization: "So it turns out that the master actually hopes that this guy will one day become a legend in the world..."
Guiguzi smiled, stretched out his hand to pour him tea, and said: "It's not my expectation, but he has the conditions to become a Talisman Master. He is a legend in his own right."
Chen Guangming looked at the old man in front of him, thought for a while and said, "I thought about it carefully later. It is a legend in itself that a fourteen-year-old boy can come to the Great Wall."
Guiguzi did not answer, but smiled and waved his hand: "Don't be anxious, let's watch the growth slowly, how it grows from an unknown sapling to a big tree in the sky."
Chen Guangming withdrew his gaze and looked at the small teapot spewing hot steam from the stove. He thought to himself that because of his own whim, he actually became a future Talisman Master?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing.
"I won't be coming tomorrow. I'll wait a few days to see that boy making arrows. I'm also happy for you, Master, that you have found a successor. This guy is interesting."
After picking up the teacup and drinking half of the tea in it, Chen Guangming said goodbye and left Guiguzi's courtyard, because he had already gotten the answer he wanted.
A Talisman Master ten years later, a legend in the world, turned out to be because of his unintentional work.
Guiguzi looked at Chen Guangming's back and smiled, then picked up a book and held it in his hand to pass the time for another day.
...
Li Xiuyuan walked around the street before walking under the Sky Tower.
With yesterday's experience, he was a little more careful today. Instead of staying in one place, he leisurely wandered around the Sky Tower, as if he was watching the scenery or going shopping.
It's just that apart from the soldiers patrolling during the day, there are very few monks wandering around the streets inside the Great Wall.
Looking from a distance, Li Xiuyuan, who was wandering under the Kaikong Tower, looked like a bored man.
Because the pressure near the Sky Tower is very high, most people are not willing to go near it. Looking from a distance, Li Xiuyuan was the only one wandering under the Sky Tower, and he looked even more weird than weird.
Later, Li Xiuyuan also realized something was wrong. Before his eyes were full, he slowly walked out. Although his spiritual power was getting weaker, it was better than nothing.
I thought to myself that I couldn't come here every day. If someone found out, I would have to ask the teacher Guiguzi to explain, which would be very troublesome.
After returning to the house, he rested for a while. He did not disturb Guiguzi. He wanted to think carefully about the next practice.
If everything goes well today, we can start making arrows tomorrow.
The next thing is the most troublesome thing. It is not that there are no runes masters in the Great Wall who have tried to engrave runes on arrows, but they have failed without exception. He wants to try it first and then find out the reason for their failure.
The arrow body is too hard and easy to break.
The arrow body is too soft and has no penetrating power.
Engraving runes is no better than using cinnabar and pine ink to write runes on paper. It requires great endurance and faith. If the strength is too light, it will not work, and if it is too heavy, it will damage the arrow body.
After thinking about it, he leaned on the table and fell asleep. He was more tired than the monks who got up early to practice in the temple.
It's just that he didn't sleep deeply that day. He woke up just after midnight, picked out a book from the mountain of books in front of him, held it in his hand and slowly studied it.
On this day, he tried to control his eyes and did not use all the power of yin and yang. He was saving some strength and later tried to use the power of yin and yang and the Eye of Delusion to write the runes for the third day.
Tomorrow's goal is to boil a pot of water with five runes, which is a great challenge.
Just as Gui Guzi said, every improvement of a Talisman Master cannot be a leap, it would be good to have a slight improvement. But at the moment, I think that with just three days of practice, I can reach the state that others have spent decades of hard work.
This is all due to his accumulation on Luoxia Mountain and his delusion-breaking eyes.
If you don't accumulate steps, you won't be able to reach a thousand miles. If you don't accumulate small streams, you won't be able to form a river or a sea.
He has been practicing Talismanism since the day the old Taoist priest picked him up in the mountains. This is what Li Xiuyuan knows in front of him.
However, what he still doesn't know right now is that he has been practicing the inscription of the talisman on the stone wall of Wuyu Tianshan Mountain since the day he carved the scriptures.
The difference is. He knew all about the practice on Luoxia Mountain.
When I followed my husband to practice on the Tianshan Mountains, I did it without knowing it.
All the efforts, every drop of sweat shed that year seemed to be for the moment that was about to come.
His casting skills were not learned by himself in the weapon refining pavilion of the academy, but he was revised for countless years in Xuantian Temple in Fangcun Mountain under the guidance of his master Ouyang Dongli. .
Inadvertently, Li Xiuyuan had been practicing hard for decades from birth to now. He had already completed the accumulation of steps, and was only waiting for the arrival of the shocking talisman.
Everything, just tonight.
There was still some time before Xu Shi, when Li Xiuyuan put down the book in his hand.
He took down the cinnabar pine black talisman paper wolf hair from the bookshelf and spread it out one by one on the table. He wanted to write a talisman, a talisman that would make this world understand his voice.
Write a talisman that can boil the pot of spring water on the teacher's stove.
A talisman that only belongs to him, Li Xiuyuan, a talisman that stops time and allows heaven and earth to respond.
On a whim, he dropped a few drops of wine into the inkstone, put the cinnabar in, and started to grind the ink.
My strokes must penetrate the back of the paper and make the world resonate.
My pool of ink is so thick that it cannot be melted away. The dark pine ink is secretly filled with the bright red drop of cinnabar.
At this moment, he was holding a wolf hair, just like twisting a rusty iron sword, ready to slay the sky and the earth and slay demons at any time.
The pine ink is too thick and the cinnabar is too heavy. Without allowing him to think too much, a drop of thick ink mixed with cinnabar fell on the talisman paper.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the dot of red and black on the talisman paper, opened his eyes to break the illusion, gathered the power of yin and yang between heaven and earth, and began to write like a dragon or a snake.
The phoenix flute sounded, the jade pot turned light, and fish and dragons danced all night.
At half past midnight, Li Xiuyuan put away all the things on the table, boiled water and made himself a pot of tea. After drinking two hot teas, he regained some of his energy and walked out the door.
Looking up, the sky has changed to a waning moon.
"I wonder how the talisman is today?" Li Xiuyuan did not dare to try it in the yard. Instead, he tied the flame talisman with the fragrance of cinnabar and ink to the bamboo arrow, and reached out and took out the iron bow.
Holding a bow bent like a full moon, Li Xiuyuan put the bamboo arrow tied with runes on the bowstring with his right hand.
"Buzz!" a string sounded, and the talisman arrow in his hand flew towards the moon in the sky...
"Boom!" There was an explosion, the exhausted bamboo arrows in the air roared, and a huge fire ball exploded in the air, turning into a dazzling firework that burned in the sky.
Looking at the blazing flames burning quietly in the night sky, Li Xiuyuan read subconsciously:
"Suddenly looking back, that person is there, in a dimly lit place."
...
In three days, just three days of effort, Li Xiuyuan wrote out the flame talisman he wanted, and turned it into a firework that burned in the night sky.
That night, countless soldiers in the Great Wall suffered from insomnia.
Anyone who saw the monks guessed who was setting off the fireworks at night? There is also speculation as to which master forger invented the latest weapon.
Chen Guangming, who was sitting in the Qinglong Army, looked at the burning fire in the sky and murmured to himself: "Could it be that boy who successfully wrote the flame talisman?"
Guiguzi, who went to bed early, did not see the fireworks in the night sky, but in his dream, he saw the achievements of his apprentice. Li Xiuyuan, holding an iron bow, shot down the black eagle on the wasteland with one arrow.
Satisfied, Li Yeyuan picked a place in the yard and set up the casting platform given to him by Chen Guangming. He decided to start casting arrows tomorrow.
Because of the current fire talisman, I'm afraid it won't be able to boil water anymore.
He wanted to make the first rune arrow and wait for a few days before starting the inscription of the runes.
Early the next morning, Guiguzi, who got up early, sniffed his nose vigorously and said in confusion: "What does it smell like?"
Unexpectedly, he walked out of the room and found that Li Xiuyuan had started a fire and melted it in the yard, fusing different metal materials together to create special talisman arrows.
What Chen Guangming found for Li Xiuyuan was Samadhi True Fire. This was the first time he had seen such fire, so he was very excited.
What a good caster likes most is not only the various materials for casting, but also the different flames.
Watching the various materials gradually fuse together, Li Xiuyuan showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then he could swing the hammer to make arrows.
This special iron arrow is much more difficult than forging a knife. To engrave runes on the small arrow body requires too high a caster. The arrow body has to be hammered many times to make it without any gaps.
The Japanese who walked into the yard was silent for a moment, then looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "You started casting arrows today? Could it be that your runes have already been written?"
Li Xiuyuan turned around and looked at him quietly, and said with a smile: "Teacher, it seems that the talisman I wrote last night cannot be used to boil water."
After saying that, he took out a flame talisman and handed it to Guiguzi,
Guiguzi reached out to take the talisman paper, put it in his hand and quietly felt the powerful talisman's meaning. After a while, he softly replied: "It's really not easy to use it to boil water."
"So, I want to start making arrows from today while continuing to practice the Tao of Talisman."
Li Xiuyuan smiled and looked at the old man in front of him, his teacher.
Gui Gu sighed, waved the talisman in his hand and said, "This talisman is very scary."
