Things in this world are like this. Some people pursue money, some pursue power, and some pursue freedom and ease. This is what the Liu family is like. Some people pursue money, and some pursue power. Only sober people like Liu Yating know how to pursue emotions.
Only a girl like her would think that feelings are the most important. As for money and power, they can be discarded at critical moments. Especially at this time, in Liu Yating's mind, Zhang Xiaodao's affairs are the most important, and other things can be put aside first.
It was also because of understanding these that Liu Yating stayed with Zhang Xiaodao at this time, because at this moment she believed that doing these things was the most important thing. Although I can't do anything for him at this time, I can't help him share anything, but at least I can stay with him.
Xiaodao naturally understood Liu Yating's thoughts, otherwise he would not have had breakfast so quietly. In fact, he cherished this opportunity. You should know that such an opportunity would have never occurred to him before. No, it should be said that it was a scene that only appeared in a dream. With Liu Yating's beauty and excellence, being able to have breakfast with him here was already a blessing for Zhang Xiaodao in his previous life.
There is another thing that Liu Yating doesn't know. In fact, the matter this time is not as serious as Liu Yating thought. Although Xiaodao is indeed racing against time to draw the symbols, the matter is far from as bad as she imagined. Now he still has a few red talismans on him to defend himself. If the other party wants to hurt him, it will really take a lot of effort!
However, Xiaodao believed that there was no need to explain to Liu Yating, and it was a good choice to let her take a good rest here. She has been very tired these days, so it would be nice to let her take a good rest. Anyway, he won't have any needs these days. Because the Liu family had already helped collect a lot of materials for making red talismans, which was enough for him to use for many days.
After slowly finishing breakfast with Liu Yating, Xiaodao went back to draw the talisman with some reluctance, while Liu Yating sat in the living room and watched him silently. Liu Yating even feels that this kind of life is the life she really longs for. She can have a good rest and be with the people she cares about.
In the past, she worked for the interests of her family every day. She was never willing to let herself have a good rest, and she never knew how to enjoy her life. But recently, she can often do this, enjoying life leisurely while sipping tea.
Liu Yating didn't know whether such a life was a good thing or a bad thing for her, whether it was progress or laziness, but she didn't want to think too much about it now. Cherishing the life in front of her is what she should do, and that's why she behaves like this.
Different from Liu Yating's somewhat conflicted mood, Xiaodao was very excited at this time because he finally took out the emerald green writing brush. From last night until just now, Xiaodao has resisted studying this pen because he was always worried that his condition was not good and he was afraid that he would not be able to maintain a calm mind to study it.
It wasn't until after having breakfast with Liu Yating that Xiaodao felt that his state of mind had improved slightly, so he chose to take it out at this time. You must know that no matter how good the treasure is, it still requires the user to have some strength, otherwise it will not be able to control it.
Looking at the emerald green brush in his hand, Xiaodao couldn't help but show an expression of joy. You can tell that Xiaodao's inner emotions were fluctuating greatly at this time. In the eyes of ordinary people, this brush is just a bit novel in shape. As for its color, it is probably just a modern handicraft, at best a better glass or plastic.
But in Xiaodao's mind, he didn't think so. He knew very well how precious the material of this pen was. The emerald green penholder is a rare treasure. It is a plant called Tianlei Hanzhu, which is very different from ordinary bamboo. It grows on the top of the cold snow-capped mountains. Every day it needs to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, as well as the chill in the snow, and it also needs to be baptized by thunder from time to time.
Only under such harsh conditions, the Heavenly Thunder Han Bamboo can only grow one section every year. It is also because of its preciousness and specialness that the brushes and talismans drawn with it inherently contain many Tao principles. The pen-like magical instruments made with it are even more rare and precious. They are the magical instruments that every practitioner of Talisman Dao dreams of. It is also for this reason that Old Man Zhang talked about it with Xiaodao, otherwise it would be impossible. Those with little knowledge would definitely not recognize it.
Xiaodao gently touched the pen in his hand. He recognized the material of the pen barrel, but Xiaodao did not recognize the materials in other parts. But even so, Xiaodao still stroked it very carefully, as if he was stroking a beautiful woman.
The joy in his eyes has not restrained at all, and even Liu Yating, who is sitting in the living room, can feel his mood at this moment. If an outsider saw this, they would think something good had happened, but to a certain extent, it was indeed a good thing. It's just that Xiaodao's current appearance is completely different from before. He no longer has that deep and reserved look.
"From today on, just follow me. Those people really don't know how to cherish. They are even willing to give away a treasure like you. They are really a prodigal! But it's okay now. You will have me in the future." Such a master will not put you aside like them."
Xiaodao muttered to the pen in his hand. He didn't know if he was talking to the pen or to himself. Anyway, the sound was not very loud, and only he and the pen could hear it. There is even a sense of temptation and deception, as if Grandma Wolf is persuading Little Red Riding Hood to open the door. The motive is quite impure.
After saying a sentence, Xiaodao used a trace of talisman on it, and only a trace of talisman entered the pen barrel. Xiaodao's idea is also very simple, he just wants to try its power first. Xiaodao is already sure that it is a very good magic weapon, for him who practices Talisman Dao.
As soon as Xiaodao's practicing Talisman Taoism entered the pen, the whole brush seemed to suddenly have life, and it suddenly floated up from Xiaodao's hand. That's right, it floated up, just like a flying bird flapping its wings to fly.
Xiaodao just stared at it, watching it fly upward little by little, and it didn't stop until it reached Xiaodao's eyes. As if it wanted to get to know Xiaodao well, it kept wandering in front of Xiaodao's eyes, always at the same level as Xiaodao's eyes.
It stayed like this for a few seconds, and then it flew around the trail again, scanning the trail from every angle and every direction like an electronic scanner. At this time, Xiaodao was not in a hurry at all, and allowed it to observe. Xiaodao just stood in the same position.
To be honest, Xiaodao didn't have much confidence at this time. He had never come into contact with a similar magical weapon, and he didn't know if such a magical weapon would recognize him as its master. What he can do now is to let him move around for a while. Maybe if he is in a good mood, he will recognize him as his master!
Old man Zhang once told him that this type of magic weapon is usually made by Fu Dao masters themselves, so it basically doesn't take too long. Therefore, they generally do not have their own weapon spirits, and their power is determined by the practitioner's own Taoism. However, the magic weapon in front of him seems to be different from what Old Man Zhang said.
After being activated by Fu Dao Taoism, Xiao Dao even felt that it had its own spiritual intelligence, which meant that there should be a weapon spirit in this pen. Otherwise, no matter how good the material of this magic weapon is, it is just a dead object. But looking at it now, Xiaodao's Taoism seems to have awakened the spirit of the weapon inside.
Xiaodao was thinking about things in his mind, but his body stood there motionless. Xiaodao was also scared now, afraid of scaring it, otherwise it would run away directly. Although Xiaodao's current strength would not allow him to escape, it would be a waste of time.
But suddenly, the brush that was very docile just now seemed to have changed its nature in an instant, and streaks of jumping thunder and lightning suddenly appeared on the entire brush. At this time, it no longer looked like a writing brush, but more like a flying electric baton, or a wooden stick that could generate electricity. The lightning wrapped around it looks a bit scary. If one accidentally touches it, it will be scorched directly.
This change of course did not escape Xiaodao's notice, but at this time Xiaodao still remained motionless, and he did not dare to move now. If this frightens it, it would be bad to fight for its life. That would not be fun.
Even Liu Yating was attracted by this magical scene at this moment. She covered her mouth with her hands, for fear that she would make a sound at this time and ruin the important event on the trail. But her eyes full of surprise told others how surprised she was at this moment, and it was only because she covered her mouth in time that she didn't scream.
But at this time, the pen seemed to be getting more and more angry, as if Xiaodao had disappointed it in some way. It rotated faster, as if it would attack the trail at any time, making the trail confused. He didn't do anything, nor did he insult it verbally. How could it make it so angry?
Xiaodao felt that he was really wronged. He could clearly sense its attack consciousness. It seemed that being shocked by it was unavoidable. Xiaodao felt miserable in his heart. He couldn't fight back at this time. After all, he still wanted the other party to recognize him as the master. Seeing the crackling thunder and lightning, Xiaodao's face turned white. He really didn't want to get hurt at this time.
"Hey! Why are you so hostile to me? I haven't done anything to you. Or do you just like to be treated like trash?"
In the end, Xiaodao couldn't bear it and asked directly. He really couldn't figure out what he had done wrong to make it so hostile. Even if you don't want to recognize him as your master, you should always tell him a reason. At least let him know why he failed!
