I have a heavenly book of merit and virtue

Chapter 42 First taste of drawing talismans
  Under the moonlight, a young man sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

Breathing was long, exhaling and inhaling. One cycle took half an hour.

Gradually, a scorching warmth flowed into the limbs and bones, and magic power circulated around the sky.

The trickling mana flows along the meridians in the body and up the Du Channel, breaking through the three passes of Weilu, Jiaji and Yuzhen, passing through the lower, middle and upper dantian, breaking through the upper and lower magpie bridges, and then returns to the lower dantian, forming a Sunday.

After a whole week, Chen Yan felt as if he was soaking in a warm hot spring, feeling comfortable and at ease.

When the three weeks of circulation are completed, the mana in the Dantian can be clearly felt a little stronger.

Well, a hint.

From the thickness of one hair to two hairs.

Although the progress was extremely weak, this visible growth made Chen Yan feel extremely satisfied.

There is no need to continue practicing. In Taoist practice, it is important to stop in moderation, and to go too far is not enough.

But Chen Yan’s ‘cultivation’ is not over yet.

"Shangqing Xuanjing Qi Entraining Technique" is finished, but he still has "Five Grain Food Qi Lu" waiting to be eaten.

Ah no, I’m just waiting to practice.

He came to the kitchen refreshed and cooked the finest grains into five large barrels of rice. When all the grains were swallowed into his belly, a warm current rose up and turned into a trace of pure mana flowing to his Dantian. Chen Yan's face showed happiness and joy. A satisfied smile.

If he practices one day while others practice two days, how can he not be happy?

He is not short of money for the time being.

After wiping out the Blood Wolf Gang, Zhao Gang sent someone to deliver almost three hundred taels of silver notes. This was the blood-eyed wolf Pang Heng's inventory, enough for Chen Yan to use for a month.

By the time the practice was over, the sky was gradually getting brighter, and the sun was showing its playful side. Beams of sunlight penetrated the clouds and sprinkled down, dyeing the town of Shanxi into a golden color.

Although he had not slept all night, for Chen Yan, the process of practicing "Shangqing Xuanjing Qi Entraining Technique" was sleep, and the effect was even better than sleeping.

After three weeks of operation, I was completely exhausted and the effect was great.

There was no rush to go to the Yamen to ask for the robe from Liu Laodao. Anyway, the Shiquan Dabu Decoction Party would be coming in seven days, so we could pick it up together when the time came.

Taking advantage of these seven days, Chen Yan planned to take a good look at the Taoist scriptures given by Liu Laodao, strengthen his shortcomings in Taoism practice, and gain some knowledge about the Wu Dynasty's cultivation world.

Apart from anything else, Chen Yan knew nothing about Wu Yan's 'Yin Fire Talisman Sword', and these were actually recorded in the secrets of the Wu Dynasty's cultivation world given by Liu Laodao.

Of course, there is also the magic spell "Taiwei Eight Scenery" that was given to him a long time ago.

Chen Yan has been coveting Liu Laodao's superb Taoist spells for a long time.

Since "Taiwei Eight Views" is not taught by the Heavenly Book of Merit and Virtue, there is no method of initiation, and there is not even an introduction to it now. Chen Yan can only rely on himself to learn this spell.

Talismans are the most important component of Taoist magic.

There are "innate symbols" and "acquired symbols".

The innate talisman pays attention to the ability to transport one stroke, which is the so-called "a little spiritual light is the talisman", while the acquired talisman is much more complicated. It needs to set up the incense table, burn incense, pray to the gods, clean the body in advance, clean the hands, clean the mouth, etc. etc.

The "Taiwei Eight Views" passed down by Liu Laodao is the former, which is an innate talisman. It does not require complicated incense tables, praying to gods, etc. It only requires a talisman pen, a piece of yellow paper, and a box of cinnabar.

After placing the table in the middle of the small courtyard, under Fa Cai's curious gaze, Chen Yan spread out a piece of yellow paper, holding a talisman pen and a little cinnabar, and began to try to draw talismans for the first time.

And the talisman he drew was the 'Chonglong Jade Talisman' that Liu Laodao had often used before to track the traces of evil ghosts.

Taoist talismans are generally composed of five elements: the talisman head, the main deity and Buddha, the talisman belly, the talisman gall, and the talisman foot.

The eight-view urn talismans all start with "three points", which represents the three pure talisman, which symbolizes vitality, the meaning of making something out of nothing, and the meaning of the three talents, which coincides with the human spirit, the sun, the moon and the stars in the sky, and the water, fire and wind on the earth. As soon as he put down the pen, Chen Yan felt a mysterious and mysterious spiritual light swimming around. The magic power in his Dantian could not help but flow into the talisman pen along the meridians, and then poured into the yellow paper.

The gods and Buddhas in charge are usually the ancestors of various sects. Since Chen Yan didn't know who Liu Laodao's ancestor was, he had no choice but to continue to use Sanqing as his talisman.

The first three steps went smoothly, and we came to the most important part of drawing a talisman - the gallbladder.

The talisman is the soul of a talisman and the master of the talisman. Whether a talisman can fully exert its effectiveness depends to a large extent on whether there is a talisman guarding it.

The Fu Dan of the Chonglong Jade Talisman is undoubtedly one of the Eight Scenic Spots, Chonglong Jade Daowei Zhenren.

The painting method of Chong Long Yu came to mind. Chen Yan held his breath and calmly dropped the talisman pen in his hand.

Unfortunately, since it was my first time to draw a talisman, I used too much force and the boldness of the talisman was too large, resulting in a failure.

Chen Yan was able to keep his composure and was not impetuous. He spread out the second yellow talisman and continued to draw it from the beginning.

In this way, for a whole day, Chen Yan was immersed in drawing symbols.

The process of drawing talismans is extremely boring, and various problems occur frequently. For example, the mana output is not controlled well, and the mana will be exhausted before a talisman is drawn. Another example is that the force is too light, the talisman is lackadaisical, and a half-real or fake talisman is drawn. Talisman...and so on and so forth.

From the rising sun to the setting sun, until the dark night fell and a bright moon rose into the sky, Chen Yan successfully painted a "Charming Dragon Jade Talisman".

"Finally it worked!"

Chen Yan's eyes were red, bloodshot, and full of exhaustion, but he couldn't hide his surprise at all. He was overjoyed when he looked at the magic talisman in his hand.

But I saw that this talisman was emitting a divine light, the divine light was looming, and the red cinnabar outlined mysterious lines, exuding an obscure Taoist rhyme, just like the 'Chonglong Jade Divine Talisman' used by Liu Laodao.

Regardless of how little magic power was left in his dantian, Chen Yan couldn't wait to hold the magic talisman in his hand, his eyes narrowed, and he chanted a curse:
  "Disciple Chen Yan, please help me, Master Chonglong Yudao Wei, as urgent as the law dictates!"

As soon as the curse fell, the newly painted Chonglong Jade Talisman immediately turned into a breeze and flowed into Chen Yan's nose.

next second.

Chen Yan's nose was visibly enlarged, which was exactly the same as Liu Laodao's before, which made the fortune on the tree laugh non-stop.

With a blank look at Facai, Chen Yan focused on his nose, feeling a new feeling in a rather novel way.

In an instant, all kinds of smells poured into Chen Yan's nose.

The fragrance of earth, the fragrance of rice from cooking smoke, the fragrance of steamed buns and meat from street stalls... and so on.

With the blessing of the Chonglong Jade Talisman, these subtle smells in the past were amplified more than a hundred times at this moment. Even if it was the smell of roast chicken in Zuixiang Tower ten miles away, Chen Yan could clearly smell it.

"Huh? The smell of rouge is mixed with the faint smell of blood?"

"Um, is this Tiangui coming? It's a sin, it's a sin..."

Quickly removing the talisman, Chen Yan looked at his personal panel with joy in his eyes. There was no doubt that after a day of hard drawing of talismans, he had finally started getting started with "Taiwei Eight Scenery".

Facts have proved that Chen Yan still has some talent in drawing talismans. It may be because the soul from time travel is naturally stronger. Chen Yan consumes far less energy in drawing talisman than others, and can spend more time practicing drawing talismans. .

In this way, for the next seven days, Chen Yan practiced swordplay in the morning, drew talismans in the afternoon, read Taoist scriptures in the evening, and practiced late at night, making the whole day full.

After seven days of drawing talismans, Chen Yan successfully drew nine talismans, including three "Chonglong Jade Talisman", three "Ling Zhongsheng Talisman", and three "Yi Li Zhuan Talisman", each representing It's the nose, eyes and ears.

On the night of the eighth day, Chen Yan finished practicing early and did not draw any more talismans. He went straight to the county government office early in the morning.

Shiquan Dabu Decoction is here!
