Painter

Chapter 139: Chapter 130

Tu Shanxi is proficient in knife skills and also knows how to keep knives.Although this fox girl has a cold temper, she cannot escape the essence of a woman who loves beauty.The Fox family is proficient in changes, good at dressing up, and of course the craftsmanship of polishing bronze mirrors is also first-class.Qingqiu's mirror grinding medicine was rumored to be quite miraculous in the market.Tu Shanxi can also make this kind of medicine. She doesn't have a bronze mirror with her, but she has polished the blade of the knife so that it can be used as a mirror.

Li Chan wrote down the formula of the mirror grinding medicine on a piece of paper, and took the bronze mirror in his hand to figure it out.The monsters were curious, and they also took out the mirrors from the bamboo box and divided them.But the little monsters couldn't figure out what was going on, chattered for a while, then put the mirror back and stacked it neatly.

Li Chan searched for a while, but failed to find the use of the bronze mirror, so she simply let go of the bronze mirror and went back to the back room.The evil energy born in winter had been condensed into the Necklace God in the first half of the night, and the name of the Necklace God was called the Spirit Shield. At this time, it had turned into a light gray divine pattern on the back of his neck.From the appearance of the divine pattern, it can be vaguely seen that it is a little man with a whisk in his hand and a crown of cranes and cloud shoes.

Li Chan pushed open the window, the rain outside had stopped long ago, and the window sill was still wet.Gently blow on the window, exhale, and a thin layer of ice forms on the window lattice.He reckoned that if he tried his best, he could probably freeze a pot of water before exhausting his demon energy.

This breath of frost, used to fight with people, at most makes people's body stiff, and the circulation of blood energy is slow, and its power is far inferior to the green sword energy between the eyebrows.But in summer, this frost energy is much more useful than that sword energy, and if you want to drink iced drinks, you don't have to rely on the ice cellar.

……

In the middle of the night breathing and breathing on the bed, Li Chan fell asleep. The next morning, when he left the back room, he saw a few willow branches stuck in a tin bottle on the table, soaking in water.When I asked Xu Da, it turned out that Hong Yao went to cut it outside the academy early in the morning.

Li Chan chewed on a willow branch for a while, rinsed his mouth, called the red medicine for help, and covered the divine lines on the back of his neck with lead powder.The lead powder rouge at home was bought by Xiaoyulonghui last time, and it was only used to put makeup on Nie Kongkong on the day he went to Wangque Terrace.

Two or three strokes of the red medicine helped Li Chan cover the divine lines on the back of her neck, and watched Li Chan straighten her collar to cover the divine lines of the Miaoyinniao in her throat. She asked, "Ah Lang, the more you practice this method, The more divine marks you have, will you become a painted face?"

Li Chan turned her neck and let go of her collar, "That's what happened, so the nose and eyes should be put at the end, otherwise it will be a lot of trouble to go out."

Hong Yao looked at Li Chan's eyes and nose, imagining that these places were also covered by divine patterns, just like a witch performing a Nuo dance, and asked again: "If Alang becomes enlightened, will these divine patterns still exist?"

Li Chan thought for a while, "According to the method of Qingque Palace, 24 bodies and spirits are formed, and the human body is in harmony with the heaven and the earth. When I can stir the vitality of the heaven and the earth, I should be able to dissolve these divine lines. But my practice method is not very good. Similarly, it is uncertain whether the Dao will be planted smoothly at that time."

Although Hong Yao was curious about Li Chan's discolored face, she also thought that A Lang's face would not be clean, so she muttered, "It's better to get rid of it sooner."

Li Chan smiled, and didn't care about this problem, picked up the prescription that recorded the mirror grinding medicine and went out, and spent dozens of money to entrust the errands in the academy to buy medicine in Xuandu.

When I came back, I went to the library and borrowed a copy of "Tao Zang Collection" from the book office, and went back to the room to read it.

People from the Dayong Kingdom had to take the exam no matter whether they were admitted to the Chongxuan School or the Qianyuan School.When Li Chan was on Fuyu Mountain, he took the four subjects of scriptures, Taoist outline, Buxu, and martial arts.In short, the scriptures test the understanding of the Taoist classics, and the Taoist principles test the precepts and rules.What Buxu tests is literary talent, while martial arts is the foundation for practicing breathing techniques.

Li Chan stayed in Shenzhasi's prison for more than half a year, and he still remembered the things related to the scriptures firmly, but the Taoist outline was only temporarily memorized, and he had basically lost it.

……

Li Chan lived in Qingxin West Courtyard for many days.The errand runner brought the mirror polishing medicine, and he imitated Tu Shanxi, after applying the medicine on the mirror surface, he wiped it with a felt.Ordinarily, Qingqiu's mirror-grinding prescription is good, and Li Chan's technique is also fine, but although the mirror is brighter, when taking pictures, it is still very blurry.

Although he still hasn't figured out the purpose of these mirrors, it has no effect on Li Chan. He reads, practices, and practices martial arts every day, and lives in an orderly manner in this academy.

A few days before I moved in, the peach blossoms on Luming Mountain were still in full bloom, but gradually faded later.Sao Qingniang and Hong Yao picked peach petals and boiled them with porridge.Hong Yao was quite puzzled about how to make this peach blossom porridge. Although the people of Xuandu have the custom of chewing spring, it is more symbolic than practical. After the festival, no one went out to find flower petals to eat.

After asking once, I knew that Li Chan had suffered a lot of hunger at the foot of Taodu Mountain.In order to fill his stomach, he often picks up the petals that fall from the big peach tree and eats them.When leaving Taodu Mountain, the young man at that time swore viciously that he would never eat peach blossoms again in his life.But it has not been two years since I left Taodu Mountain, but I always think of that bite, and every time the peach blossoms bloom, I always have to eat it once or twice before my mind is clear.

When the peach blossoms were in bloom a while ago, I was entangled in all kinds of things, so I didn't have a sip of peach blossom porridge.When the peach blossoms were about to fade, they finally settled down.Sao Qingniang taught the red medicine one by one the essentials of making peach porridge. First cook the porridge, and then put the chopped fresh peach petals in when it is about to come out of the oven. Put it in early for a while, and when it rots, it will become bitter, and put it late It’s undercooked, and it’s jerky. It has to be just right, so that the pink and white can complement each other and get its sweetness.

More than ten days later, Li Chan and Liu Jian from the East Hospital also became acquaintances.Liu Jian is quite enthusiastic, and often invites Li Chan to participate in student associations.

When Li Chan took the school entrance examination at Qingque Palace, he got top three in three subjects, and was the leader of the general evaluation.All the Jingren in Qingque Palace are well-known. Except for Li Chan who was recommended, most of them are outstanding students from Taoist academies around Dayong or Chongxuan Department.Li Chan was able to win the first prize from these people, this kind of learning was actually not necessary for him, but he was invited twice occasionally.

Li Chan just lived in seclusion in Luming Academy, not a student of the academy, and occasionally went to the academy to relieve boredom, and seldom talked.The students in the academy saw that "Li Dan" was not sociable, so they didn't have much contact with him.

This Luming Academy is a Taoist academy, and none of the students here come from poor backgrounds.Liu Jian's family background in Qingxin East Courtyard, in Xuandu, can be regarded as a small rich family, but here it is the worst category.This academy recommends talents to the Shuxue or other temples of the Taoist sect. It not only looks at family background, but also looks at talents.A student like Liu Jian is endowed with middle-of-the-road talents and hard work enough, but he has nothing to do with the two. He has to have his ancestors to smoke before he can enter the school.

Because of this election system, although this Taoist academy has a dusty Taoist character, it is not detached from the secular world.Interpersonal relationships are very complicated.The students of the academy, besides learning Taoism and practicing martial arts, also have to make a living in human relationships.

Only Li Chan is an exception.

He drank peach blossom porridge twice, and the peach blossoms in Luming Academy also withered.

The older you are, the more life there is in the mountains, and there are more birds, beasts, snakes and insects.

He occasionally goes into the mountains to hit pine cones and dig Huang Jing.

When I am interested, I go out with my pen and ink Danqing, and when I go back to the house, I bring back one or two paintings, and I am at ease.

The 24 divine lines also gradually spread all over the body.
