On the second day, the morning light faded.
Qi Yan slumped on a chair in the courtyard, and vaguely saw a cold face.
"There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent. She looks at the Qingren city and then the Qingren country..."
He muttered words and babbled, knowing that Wen Yuyin was standing in front of him at this moment, he had the right to think that this was a sweet dream and did not want to wake up.
Wen Yuyin raised her eyebrows, understanding that what she just said was a compliment to herself, and the corners of her mouth suddenly raised. But remembering the spring scenery in the bathroom last night, she always felt that it would be a bit awkward for her to speak first.
Qi Yan was in a state of false sleep, and he quickly understood this subtle change in mood.
"Yeah..."
Qi Yan opened his eyes, stretched out his waist lazily, looked at Wen Yuyin with surprise, and greeted: "Good morning, senior~"
So innocent, so unaware.
"morning."
Wen Yuyin responded in a daze. Noticing that Qi Yan looked at ease, he didn't have the nerve to expose his lame performance. Instead, he responded in a perfunctory manner: "Get up, didn't you say you want to teach me the way of talismans?"
After saying that, Wen Yuyin turned sideways and looked away, leaving his beautiful figure to Qi Yan.
Qi Yan responded, stood up and took Wen Yuyin to the quiet room.
In the quiet room, there are faint traces of Qi Yan's "ghost painting" on the surrounding walls. After many years, Qi Yan also moved his study place to the study room, so the ground is full of dust.
"Senior, please forgive me, I haven't used this place for many years."
Qi Yan pushed open the window and picked up the broom to sweep the inside again.
After the dust is removed, the graphics on the wall once again show the charm of painting under the reflection of light.
When Wen Yuyin saw this, he didn't urge it. Instead, he turned over the "Basic Encyclopedia of Talismans" on the table very curiously. After reading it for a while, he couldn't help but marvel.
"The way of talismans is really wonderful~"
"oh?"
Qi Yan raised his head slightly, stopped his movements and chatted: "Senior, can you understand the mystery?"
"It's hard to say that I understand it. I just feel that the runes that appear to be the same have completely different effects."
"What the seniors said is true. The way of talismans is ever-changing. Just talking about the talismans that are transformed from the basic talisman patterns, there are more than ten kinds, not to mention the combination of them..."
Qi Yan acted like a benevolent teacher and a loving father, and was reluctant to deal with harsh blows. He said gently: "But there is no need to worry, senior. We have a long way to go, and we have plenty of time."
"..."
Wen Yuyin heard the words but did not speak.
Qi Yan felt ashamed for a moment and had to continue his work with a slight embarrassment.
After finishing tidying up, Qi Yan slowly stood up, came to Wen Yuyin, and said respectfully: "Senior, the quiet room has been tidied up. If nothing happens, let's get started!"
"good."
Wen Yuyin agreed, took a step back, and gave up the position of chief case to Qi Yan.
Qi Yan suddenly felt a little pressure at this time. This was the first time he taught a monk in the foundation building stage to draw talismans.
"Then...as we just said, the way of talismans is ever-changing. Ten or hundreds of talismans are combined with each other to form different types of talismans. In the final analysis, it is based on the basic runes as the foundation, and gradually evolves into Advanced talisman…”
Qi Yan paused, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "High-level talismans, such as the divine distraction talisman in the hands of seniors, or the divine thought talisman that can seal the divine thoughts of a pill-forming monk. These are all high-level divine talismans." In addition to these kinds of talismans, there are also two types of talismans: buffing talismans and spell-type talismans. I think seniors should have heard of these two kinds..."
"So, if we want to learn the way of talismans, we should start with the basic talismans!"
With that said, Qi Yan took out a wolf hair from the pen holder on the desk, and then ground the cinnabar into ink...
Thinking that he was already too poor to open the pot, Qi Yan changed the yellow paper used to draw talismans to cheap white paper early on, so as to increase revenue and reduce expenditure at the source.
"Aren't all talismans made of yellow paper?"
Wen Yuyin asked suspiciously when he saw Qi Yan spreading the paper.
"Seniors don't know something. Although yellow paper is good, white paper can better reflect the texture trend of rune patterns..."
Qi Yan had known that the other party would ask, so he thought about the words in his mind and explained: "If senior doesn't believe it, just wait and see..."
After that, Qi Yan wrote a few runes on the white paper, and then wrote the same traces on the yellow paper, and compared the two papers.
"Senior, let's take a look. Comparing the two talisman patterns, does the white paper stand out more?"
After the other party observed carefully and nodded slightly, Qi Yan put down the two pieces of paper and said seriously: "Senior has just learned about the talisman, and it is more necessary to carefully observe its texture and trend. As the saying goes, a slight difference can make a thousand miles, so let's work together as a talisman." I am an apprentice, but I don’t know that such rigorous study is very necessary.”
Seeing what Qi Yan said was so sincere, Wen Yuyin believed it for a moment and nodded heavily.
"Been taught a lesson…"
"Um…"
Seeing that the other party was clearly deceived by him, Qi Yan said seriously: "In that case, let's officially start~"
After the interlude, Wen Yuyin began to imitate Qi Yan's pen movements and draw the same runes.
However, after three or four hours, the runes on the white paper still lacked any charm.
Qi Yan looked at it and felt that the person holding the pen was a little angry.
"Senior, don't be anxious. The art of talismans most tests the mental state of the person holding the pen. The calmer the mind, the more you can feel the changes..."
"..."
Although Wen Yuyin knew that what Qi Yan said was true and that he was teaching her sincerely, she, who had always had a strong personality, could not tolerate her clumsy side.
Even when he was normally learning the exercises, he only needed to observe them once and quickly understand the gist of them. But now when faced with the art of talismans, he had no way to start.
Momentarily depressed…
"Senior, if you feel irritated, you might as well draw it again..."
With that said, Qi Yan adjusted his method, first with the purpose of relaxing, guiding Wen Yuyin to inhale deeply from the abdomen and exhale...
The so-called rush leads to chaos. The more panic you have, the more you will fail to learn, and it will waste time.
So in his view, this prerequisite is very necessary.
Wen Yuyin was already anxious...but seeing the other party's patient and meticulous attitude, he didn't have too much doubt, so he followed Qi Yan as a model and learned from him.
With just a breath, Wen Yuyin's plump figure was revealed, and the scenery on her chest was undulating like the tide of the blue sea.
Very beautiful!
"Looking at it horizontally, it looks like a ridge and a side looks like a peak. The heights are different from near to far. The ancients sincerely did not deceive me~"
Qi Yan sighed inwardly, but he just glanced at him and dropped his gaze, and then used another way of teaching the other party.
"Senior, follow my strokes and follow me wherever I go. Pay attention to the movement and strength of my strokes when I pause..."
"good."
Wen Yuyin responded softly, lifting up the wolf hair with her jade hand and following Qi Yan's movements again.
The sun rises three poles, and the house is full of emotions.
After about three or four moments...
Under Qi Yan's guidance, Wen Yuyin finally showed a trace of charm in every stroke, which made her feel happy, and her irritable mood also dissipated.
"This seems... to be similar to written words?"
"Um?"
Qi Yan didn't realize it at first. The characters in this world are very similar to the ancient characters in the previous life, and the writing power of the talismans is similar to the characters. They pay attention to flowing clouds and flowing water, and they are completed in one go.
Because he often practiced calligraphy in his previous life, Qi Yan had an innate foundation for drawing talismans in this life, so he naturally ignored this problem.
After Wen Yuyin's reminder just now, Qi Yan felt that it was reasonable.
"Senior Huizhi Lanxin, there is indeed something in common between the two!"
Qi Yan nodded, smiled happily, and his words were full of affirmation of Wen Yuyin: "Senior, after studying for a while, you will be able to understand the principles. I think you will be more familiar with it in the future."
"I hope so~"
Wen Yuyin praised Qi Yan, smiled lightly, and then said calmly: "I won't say any more, let's continue drawing."
For her, as an immortal cultivator and a senior, she naturally needs to maintain an image of being unfazed by favors and humiliations.
Furthermore, time flies by, and I am already past the peak of youth.
"this…"
Qi Yan paused for a moment and looked at the sky outside. The scorching sun was in the sky at noon, and he suggested: "Senior... practice matters step by step, haste makes waste... besides, it's lunch time now." , Senior, if you don’t mind, we might as well rest for a while before continuing, how about that?”
When Wen Yuyin heard this, he also noticed that the sunlight in the room had faded long ago, and he understood that Qi Yan was just a young monk at the first level of Qi training, and still needed grains to satisfy his hunger, so he nodded and responded, "That's okay."
Then he put down the wolf hair, stopped for a while, and then went to the study, leaving Qi Yan alone in the quiet room to tidy up.
