When I was a Taoist

Chapter 11 It Was A Dream
After half a month of tempering, my physique is much stronger than before.Although it may not be the opponent of the ghost in the fight, at least I always have the capital to escape.

As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of running out of firewood.Only by saving his life will he have a chance to stand up in the future.Of course, Qingxin couldn't laugh or cry about my life motto.I am afraid that this is the first time that I practice Taoism just to protect myself.

While exercising, Qingxin also began to teach me the most basic skill, which is also the most important one in ghost affairs: drawing symbols.I have already experienced how important the spell is. Back then, Gao Liang could scare off the fox fairy with a lightning-inducing charm. One can imagine how terrifying the spell's power is.But it is even more difficult to draw such a spell.

I bought yellow paper and cinnabar, and began to imitate the symbols for the first time according to Qingxin's instructions.Drawing symbols is not something you can just imitate, it also has something to do with the level of Taoism and the piety of the state of mind.Sometimes even if your drawing is exactly the same without mistakes, the drawing may be a piece of waste paper.

What Qingxin asked me to imitate was the simplest kind of spell, called "Flame Talisman".As the name suggests, after igniting the spell, a burst of flames will erupt, which can not only hurt some ghosts, but also very useful against humans.

Picking up the brush and dipping it in cinnabar, I began to carefully outline the outline on the yellow paper.The first time I drew a talisman, I couldn't handle even such a simple talisman. Several times the talisman was scrapped because of shaking hands.

Seeing my sweating profusely, Qingxin smiled and asked, "Now you know where you are lacking. It's only been a while, and your palms start to tremble. How can you draw a spell well?" "

After finishing speaking, Qingxin took the pen from my hand and said, "Look at it, little guy, that's not how spells are drawn."

Qingxin dipped in the cinnabar, and quickly waved on the yellow paper.The spells he drew were quite complicated, which dazzled me for a while.Even so, his strokes never left the yellow paper, and in the end he finished drawing the entire spell in one go.The whole process was so smooth and smooth that I couldn't help but say hello.

Putting down the pen, Qingxin heaved a sigh of relief, shook her head and smiled wryly, "It took me a few minutes to draw this kind of talisman, but I didn't expect it would take so much now. Little guy, come and experience this talisman."

Hearing this, I stepped forward to pick up the talisman, and even vaguely felt the fiery temperature contained in it!

Seeing my surprised expression, Qingxin smiled and explained: "This is an upgraded version of the Flame Talisman. Its power is dozens of times greater than that of the Flame Talisman. Any kid will be wiped out with just one Talisman. It's just that The consumption of the user is not small, with your current strength, it is best not to use it unless it is absolutely necessary."

I nodded, and carefully put away this charm like a treasure.If one day encounters some ghosts and unjust souls, won't they be cooked with just one talisman?
After regaining my energy, I picked up the pen again and devoted myself to the symbols again.After Qingxin told me a few words, she let me practice.After all, he also wanted to see how long it would take me to draw a real talisman.

The day passed quietly, and there were already half-leg-high discarded charms piled up under my feet.My face also turned pale, and the hand holding the brush began to tremble uncontrollably.Even so, I still clenched my teeth and tried my best to outline the last few strokes.

Seeing my appearance, Qingxin shook her head and said, "Little guy, you must not be in a hurry for this kind of thing. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. It took me two days to draw the first time I learned how to draw symbols. A flame talisman."

At this time, I had already turned a deaf ear to Qingxin's words, as if I had entered a strange state, and my whole being was immersed in the symbols.Although my spirit is on the verge of collapse, I can no longer feel tired. I only have one thought in my mind, to finish drawing this flame talisman!

As the last stroke fell, a faint red light flashed across the yellow talisman paper, and then returned to calm.And I also breathed a sigh of relief, my eyes turned black and I fell directly to the ground.

"This kid actually drew the flame talisman in a day."

Qingxin stared at the flame talisman on the table in astonishment, with an incomparably wonderful look in her eyes.After a while, he looked at me full of relief, nodded and said: "Old man, it seems that you have a great descendant."

In the drowsy state, I vaguely heard my mother's shout echoing in my ears.I tried to open my eyes, but my eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and I couldn't lift them no matter what.I was anxious, and tried all my strength to reach out and feel for it, but I didn't expect to sit up directly.

"It turned out to be a dream." After touching the sweat on my head, I breathed a sigh of relief, smiled wryly and shook my head.

I jumped out of bed to exercise my muscles and bones, but my legs gave way and I almost fell to the ground.At this time, Qingxin came over and said with a smile: "You overdrawn too much yesterday, and you haven't recovered until now. But congratulations, little guy, you should have drawn your first flame talisman."

After speaking, Qingxin threw the spell to me.Looking at the talisman in my palm, although I know that throwing this talisman may only ignite the haystack, I feel extremely proud in my heart.

"Take the time to recover your strength in the past two days. When you were unconscious, I vaguely noticed a trace of ghosts in the village. Just right, I should also give you a chance to exercise."

Hearing this, I nodded excitedly.I have been working with Gao Liang for more than five years, and I have never tried it myself.Seeing his daoguxianfeng every time he does something, I can't wait to experience this feeling.

After resting for a day, I headed to the village after adjusting to the peak state.Qingfeng follows me naturally, ordinary people can't see him at all, so he can protect me at any time.

As soon as I stepped into the village, I saw the village head with a sad face rushing towards the east of the village.I stopped him, and before I could ask any questions, he grabbed me and said ecstatically, "Dazhi, I didn't expect you to come here just after something happened in the village. Your master is so good, and you should be good." Right. There's a major incident in the village, hurry up and follow me over there to have a look."

After finishing speaking, the village chief couldn't help but dragged me towards the east of the village.

On the way, the village chief told me the general situation.It turned out that Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang in the east of the village had children, and they were still twins when they went to the town for inspection, which made the family very happy.Unexpectedly, when he was born a few days ago, he saw that there was only one boy, and there was no sign of the other child.

What's even more evil is that the child who was born was gloomy, neither crying nor fussing, just looking at the world with weird eyes.In the end, Uncle Wang's family couldn't bear it anymore, so they had to turn to the nearby Taoist priests for help.
