In a main room, two old men sat opposite each other on both sides of a chessboard, playing chess leisurely.
The two old men, one fat and one thin, both have white beards and eyebrows. They wear the same purple cloud robes, with a golden word "talisman" embroidered on their left chests.
Although these two people seemed to be in their twilight years, they were full of energy, not even remotely like old people, and seemed to have infinite vitality.
The two old men were none other than the two elders of the Ji family. The fatter old man was called "Ji Changhong," and the thinner one was called "Ji Wuxing."
It is said that the two of them have reached the seventh level of Naqi thirty years ago. Now more than thirty years have passed, and no one knows what their cultivation level is, but now their lifespans have expired. One hundred and fifty years old.
"Recently, there is a new kid among the younger generation in the clan. Have you heard about it?" Ji Changhong picked up a sunspot, placed it somewhere on the chessboard, and said casually.
"Hahaha, I heard that his name should be Ji Liao. He seems to be the son of the man who was killed when he made the fire-attribute talisman more than ten years ago." Ji Wuxing replied equally casually.
"That boy has produced a lot of talismans in the past six months, and he has exchanged a lot of spiritual stones in the clan."
"Change it. Anyway, those things can be sold by the clan, but I heard that the child is only fifteen years old."
"Well, it's fifteen years old!" Ji Changhong replied affirmatively, and then put another chess piece on it.
"Hey, it's easy to say that it's not difficult to accept Qi. It's difficult to say that it's hard. No matter how talented you are when you first start accepting Qi, hard work can always make up for it. But I'm thinking about taking it a step further. If the talent is not good, it will be difficult to reach the sky. Even if No matter how diligent you are, your achievements will never be comparable to those of talented people." Ji Wuxing said casually, but the meaning of his words was obvious.
That is to say, no matter how young he is, he can draw talismans. In the future, qualification will be the foundation.
"The qualified direct descendants of the clan have been checked when they were born, so there should be nothing wrong. I haven't heard of this Ji Liao. It seems that he wants to reach the second level of Qi. It won't work if you are young." Ji Changhong said with deep understanding.
"Yes, you and I both know that we are the direct descendants of the clan. If we can't draw talismans, life in Ji's family will not be as good as those with other surnames. It's good that this child can draw talismans. At least it can change the living environment." Ji Wuxing road.
On this day, a six-foot-tall boy wearing a black robe came to a square. This boy was thin and honest-looking. He was Ji Liao.
After three days of rest, Ji Liao adjusted himself to the best condition and arrived at a prosperous area of Ji's home early in the morning.
Ji Liao was in a square that was about a mile in size. The ground was paved with white jade. There was a huge copper cauldron in the center. A huge incense stick as thick as an arm was inserted into the cauldron. The incense burns slowly, and the green smoke floats straight towards the sky, looking particularly solemn and solemn.
At the end of the square is a mountain with a height of 100 feet. A staircase that can drive two rows of carriages goes straight up to the top of the mountain. There is a huge palace at the top of the mountain. There is a palace dedicated to the statue of Ji Yunxiao, named Laozu. temple.
There are many huge and gorgeous courtyards built against the mountains on both sides of the stairs. The houses in the courtyards have cornices and brackets, glazed green tiles, and countless wooden buildings standing among them, which look grand and grand. These houses are stacked on top of each other from the top of the mountain to the square. The mist lingers in them, like a fairyland, forming a sharp contrast with the mortal land.
Ji Liaoyao looked at the palace on the top of the mountain, his eyes flickered slightly, and he thought to himself, "Ancestor, I will definitely do what I promised you. No matter where you are in the world, I will help you complete it."
Ji Liao has a stubborn character and will always keep his promises. Moreover, the blessings given to him by Ji Yunxiao have been of great help to him. Without these blessings, he would still be an ordinary ordinary person. How could he be there? He was very grateful for today's scenery, so he looked firmly at the Ancestor Hall on the top of the mountain and secretly made up his mind.
He walked across the square and up the stairs.
On both sides of the road are various shops and the deacon hall where the Ji family is in charge of various things.
After walking for about half an hour, Ji Liao stopped in front of a wooden building.
He looked up and saw the quaint wooden building showing traces of time. There was a plaque hanging on an open door, "Fu Master Hall."
Ji Liao walked away without hesitation.
The decoration inside the hall is extremely elegant, with two rows of wooden chairs and two small side-opening doors at the end of the hall.
There was no one in the hall, but Ji Liao was not in a hurry.
After standing in the hall for a moment, a person came slowly from the side door.
But he saw this man with white beard and eyebrows, wearing a purple robe with a cloud pattern embroidered on it, and a large golden "talisman" embroidered on his left chest.
Ji Liao's eyes narrowed slightly. After seeing this person come out, he immediately felt the unfathomable aura emanating from this person's body. Ji Liao is now on the second level of Qi Condensation, but in front of this person, he is like a puddle facing a lake. .
This old man is none other than "Ji Changhong," the elder of the Ji family.
The old man glanced at Ji Liao slightly and sat on the main seat minding his own business.
Ji Liao hurriedly took a few steps forward and said, "He is a direct descendant of the Ji family. Ji Liao has met Elder Ji."
The old man raised his brows slightly, glanced at Ji Liao and said calmly, "Are you here to obtain the Talisman Master qualification?"
"yes!"
"Do you know the requirements for becoming a Talisman Master?"
"Know!"
"Then come with me." After Ji Changhong asked a few simple questions, he stood up and left, walking out through the side door on the other side.
Ji Liao was slightly startled, thinking that the ancestor wanted to ask some other questions, but he didn't expect that he would be so happy.
During the Ji family's Talisman Master examination, there are always elders sitting in charge, so the gate is always open. Although the Ji family has a prosperous population, there are only a hundred or so people who come to take the Talisman Master examination in a year, and sometimes they don't meet for seven or eight days. to one, so it is usually very deserted here.
As for Ji Changhong, he had noticed Ji Liao a few months ago, and he knew it in his heart. Although he was slightly surprised when he saw Ji Liao coming here, he didn't ask too much.
After all, it felt like there were quite a few people who came to take the Talisman Master exam just by drawing a few talismans. He naturally understood this, but he saw many such people in a year. Not only was there a time limit to become a Talisman Master, but he also had to make a variety of talismans. Not only do you need to have a very good understanding of the vitality of heaven and earth, but you also need to act decisively. Many people become more and more nervous in the later stages due to time constraints, resulting in failure to become a Talisman Master.
Ji Liao followed the old man through a garden and arrived at the backyard of Fu Shitang. What appeared in front of him was a separate courtyard with a three-person-high wall. There was nothing else in the courtyard except a lonely three-story wooden tower.
Although the wooden tower has small windows, they are all tightly closed, and various strange runes are engraved on its surface.
There are more than a dozen courtyards like this in Fu Master Hall, and this is just one of them.
Ji Changhong walked to the wooden pagoda and stood in front of it, holding his hands behind his back. He pinched his hand slightly, and with a wave of his hand, a green light shot out from his sleeve and hit the door directly. The door of the wooden pagoda opened, and the sun shined in. There was a futon placed inside the wooden pagoda, and a huge bluestone table was placed on one side of the futon. There were many things placed on the table, which seemed to be used for drawing talismans.
Ji Changhong turned around and looked at Ji Liao and said, "Family rules, those who want to be qualified as a talisman master must draw eight kinds of talismans: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and ice. There is no need to pay fees after success." , if you fail to pass the exam, you must pay five low-grade spiritual stones.”
Ji Liao bowed and responded, "Yes! This junior knows!"
Then Ji Changhong said calmly, "The time limit is three days. While you are making the talisman, I will open the formation here and no outsiders will be allowed to enter."
After finishing speaking, Ji Changhong took out a palm-sized black formation plate and a small jade box, and said, "Take this formation plate. If you can't hold on, inject spiritual energy into it. I will sense it immediately and go to save you." , and inside this jade box is a low-level Bigu Pill, which is only enough to last you three days without eating. Remember not to be brave. If there is any danger, call me immediately. Your life is your own, so take care of yourself."
"Yes! This junior knows!" Ji Liao bowed again and responded.
Ji Changhong nodded and immediately ignored Ji Liao and walked out of the yard.
Ji Liao glanced at his leaving figure and raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He was extremely confident in his ability to draw talismans. He was not arrogant. He relied on the secrets in his body and his second-level cultivation of Qi. If he finally If he can't draw the basic low-level talismans, then he might as well just crash to death.
Ji Liao stepped closer to the tower, and the door behind him closed.
After a moment of darkness, the tower lit up.
I saw that the tower was hollow. Looking up, I saw a dome that was five or six feet high. It was inlaid with twenty-eight fluorescent crystal heads. The light in the tower came from it. Six thick columns reached the dome. It looked like It's quite spectacular to go up.
Ji Liao nodded slightly and said, "It is indeed an important place in the family. This kind of decoration is indeed extraordinary."
Ji Liao then opened the jade box and swallowed the Bigu Pill. The pill melted in his mouth. Soon after, he felt a sense of fullness. Ji Liao's eyes lit up and he said, "The immortal pill is indeed magical." , I’m actually full from just one small pill.”
Ji Changhong walked outside the courtyard wall, took out a black formation disk, pointed at it repeatedly, then pinched the spell and shouted loudly.
"open!"
But he saw that the formation plate in his hand was filled with black light. At the same time, four black light pillars immediately shot up from the four corners of the courtyard, slightly bending and intertwining in the air.
Four black light curtains immediately spread in the light pillar, enclosing a whole and wrapping the tower inside.
This is a restriction specially set up by the Ji family to ensure that those who can pass the Talisman Master Examination will be prevented from any interference from the outside world.
After Ji Changhong saw that the formation was opened, he put the formation disk away.
Then he tapped a gray storage bag on his waist, and a yellow light shot out of it. It circled in the air and then landed on the ground, revealing a futon.
Ji Changhong shook his robe slightly, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing.
The Ji family's protection for those who want to become Talisman Masters is indeed good. Not only are they protected by restrictions, but they are also protected by the elders of the clan. Five low-grade spiritual stones are indeed not expensive.
