Zhouyi flipped through the book several times and memorized it by heart.
The breakthrough in the innate realm is not only the force of force, or it can be said that force is just an external appearance, but in fact it is the transformation of essence, energy, and spirit into high-level life.
Memory is not much different from photographic memory.
"Originally, I thought that my martial arts would reach a bottleneck and I would find a few techniques to practice. Now that I have the technique of talisman and seal script, I can be regarded as a half-immortal cultivator after I learn it."
Practitioners regard skills such as talismans and seal scripts as techniques to protect the Tao. Immortal Taoist techniques are the foundation of enlightenment. Seeking techniques without the foundation is an act of abandoning the fundamentals and chasing the weak.
Zhou Yi has obtained the Tao and Fruit of Immortality, and his perspective on the problem is different from that of practitioners.
All means in the world that can increase strength, whether it is exercises or talisman refining, etc., are all techniques to protect the Tao Fruit of Immortality.
"The talisman pen is made of white fox tail hair. The century-old white fox is the best."
"The talisman paper is still tanned from animal skins. The older the animal, the higher the success rate..."
Zhou Yi does not need to hunt with his own hands. Shenjing is a place where the essence of Fengyang Kingdom gathers. Rare and precious things such as century-old white fox fur will inevitably be sent to Shenjing for sale.
If you don’t have enough money, you can owe it first!
The next day.
Captain Zhu heard that the thief in the Tianlao had been eradicated, and found that Yu Jie had disappeared. He couldn't help but feel horrified when the two facts confirmed that the other party entered the Tianlao through his method.
"Old Zhou, you are our God's Poseidon!"
The news that Zhou Yi has exercised his body will soon reach Jinyiwei, and someone will definitely come to win over him.
The fifth generation of jailers from the Zhou family could not be said to have a more innocent background, and they are far more trustworthy than the masters recruited from the martial arts world.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhu, I can't bear to leave Tianlao either."
It would be a lie to say that Zhou Yi was not interested in the inheritance of talismans and seals that might be hidden in the imperial prison, but he was patient enough to wait for the opportunity.
Time is always on Zhou Yi's side!
After one month.
The talisman pen and talisman paper were successfully made.
Zhou Yi taught himself how to draw the talisman and seal according to the book. Naturally, he would not succeed at first. The true energy was condensed on the tip of the pen and could not be integrated into the talisman at all.
"Nothing is difficult in this world, but it only takes skill!"
In the blink of an eye, two years have passed.
Zhou Yi's life is uneventful, but he also hears many important things talked about by his colleagues.
At the beginning of the thirteenth year of Hongchang, not long after Zhou Yi broke through Xiantian, Fengyang Kingdom and Dayong formally signed a peace agreement.
The Minister of Household Affairs reported that the treasury was empty and requested that the northern Xinjiang army be abolished. Since Emperor Hongchang ascended the throne, there have been constant wars of all sizes in the thirteen years. This reason is very reasonable.
It is rumored that Zhang Zhengyang, the chief assistant, respectfully asked Li Wu in the Fengtian Palace in front of Emperor Hongchang and hundreds of civil and military officials: "This matter is of great importance, and the Duke of Zhen must nod his approval before the border troops can be abolished!"
What happened next? There are various versions among the people. Some Li Wu scolded the chief minister in public, and some Li Wu surrendered. In the end, 70% of the million-strong army in northern Xinjiang was disbanded.
The court is in turmoil, and the world is in turmoil.
Rumors circulated at unknown times that the Cang family, a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, had a magic power that could swallow people's inner energy.
The Cang family is a small local clan that has never been popular. In just over ten years, top and first-class masters have appeared one after another. The clan members seem to have become talented martial arts wizards.
Moreover, the Cang family specializes in internal energy, which is in line with the rumors spread in the world.
In the fourteenth year of Hongchang, the Cang family was surrounded and suppressed by more than a dozen sects led by Buddhism and Taoism. More than a thousand people died, including the old, weak, women and children.
Someone asked Master Fangyuan of Huasheng Temple: "Does the Cang family have the magic power to swallow people's inner energy?"
Master Fangyuan has a compassionate face and pronounces the name of Buddha.
"Amitabha! Maybe someone has found it."
These words spread to the world, adding another stain to Buddhism, causing various gangs and sects to ridicule him for a while. After a few months, no one mentioned it again.
After all, there are too many major events happening in Jianghu and Chaotang, and Buddhism cannot occupy a few days of hot searches.
For example, Zhou Yi becoming a first-rate master is still big news in Tianlao. It can still cause some ripples in Shenjing, but it is not even a drop of water in Fengyang Kingdom.
Jinyiwei sent people to recruit him. First he promised to be a captain, and later the conditions were raised to Xiaoqi.
Zhou Yi refused several times in a row and then let it go.
The eyes of the world are always focused on the latest people and events. Two years have passed, and no one pays attention to the jailer anymore. Occasionally, he will be mentioned with contempt at the wine table.
"Even if these people are masters, they can't hold up the wall with mud!"
At the end of the thirteenth year of Hongchang, New Year's Eve was approaching.
An imperial edict spread throughout the world, and the crown prince position that had been vacant for many years in Fengyang Kingdom finally had its owner.
The eldest prince Zhao Xian's wife is the legitimate daughter of the imperial master Zhang Zhengyang.
"No wonder he can be ranked as the first assistant, this old man is very capable!"
Zhou Yi clicked his tongue a few times and put the matter behind him.
The world of court and court was like clouds and smoke to him, far less interesting than the art of talisman and seal script.
After two years of copying and drawing, several talisman pens were broken, and countless talisman papers were destroyed. It was almost instinctive to draw the four talisman seals, and the complex strokes were completed in one go.
The true essence condenses on the tip of the pen, and as the strokes merge into the talisman seal, the cinnabar becomes crystal clear on the talisman paper.
puff!
With a soft sound, the true energy in the cinnabar collapsed, and the talisman paper shattered into powder.
Zhou Yi had long been accustomed to it. He carefully thought about the reason for his mistake, then changed a piece of talisman paper and continued drawing.
It took two years to go from knowing nothing to being a beginner, just thinking about and correcting mistakes one by one. Zhou Yi had a hunch in his heart that the day when the talisman would be completed was not far away.
"We're almost running out of talisman paper, so we need to get some more on credit."
Zhou Yi heard that the Tiger Hall, a gang in the south of the city, recently obtained a white tiger skin. The leader also held a tiger appreciation banquet.
"Since we are brothers practicing Five Tiger Fist in the same discipline, we should borrow it and use it!"
The leader of the Tiger Hall studied under Luo Hu and did not participate in the rebellion that year. Later, he took advantage of the boxing gym being seized by the Jin Yiwei to obtain subsequent boxing records and nourishing prescriptions, and now he has become a big boss.
"...It is clear that the void is empty, and the spiritual talisman is self-contained!"
Zhou Yi's soul was empty, and as the last stroke fell, there was a faint flash of spiritual light on the talisman.
"Huh? It's not broken!"
Zhou Yi was surprised. He picked up the house-destroying talisman and observed it carefully. It was exactly the same as the description in the book, but he didn't know if it had any effect.
Infused with true energy, the talisman and seal ignite spontaneously without fire.
An invisible wave swept across the entire courtyard.
at this time.
It's the middle of winter and the night is quiet.
Suddenly a dark wind blew in the courtyard, and there was a whining sound.
"who?"
Zhou Yi's eyes were like lightning, and he suddenly looked towards the jujube tree in the courtyard.
The place was originally deserted, with clouds of black mist floating around, vaguely resembling a human shape, with only two red glows on the face.
He turned around and looked under the grape trellis where he usually ate, drank tea and drank. Some were hiding on the shelves, some were sitting on stone pillars, and there were even two ghost figures lying on the dining table.
More than a dozen pairs of red eyes stared at Zhou Yi with resentment, as if they were pouncing to bite him at any time.
"ghost?"
Zhou Yi didn't have any fear in his heart. Instead, he was full of interest. His true energy gathered into his hand and grabbed a ghost figure.
As a result, the ghost shadow touched the true essence, let out a shrill scream, and then turned into nothingness.
"This is too fragile to be called a ghost. At best, it can be regarded as a remnant soul or something like that."
Zhou Yi Zhenyuan protected his body and walked towards the ghost shadow.
Woo woo woo...
The vicious and ferocious ghosts were so frightened that they stepped back again and again, and finally huddled in the corner, stacked one on top of another like smoke.
"It's boring to die in my hands and not dare to resist even if you become a ghost! It's boring!"
After Zhou Yi finished speaking, his true energy condensed into the edge of the sword, and the ghost shadows shuttled back and forth several times, all of them dying again.
