Invincible Witch Doctor King

Chapter 131 Talisman Book
Zhao Tian and Jiuye didn't stay for too long before continuing to go downstream. They had to check the situation downstream to determine how many villages had been affected by this bug.

"Sixth Uncle, this matter...is not quite right."

Jiang Dashu hesitated for a moment, his cloudy eyes seemed to light up when he said this.

"Ah."

Uncle Six nodded, and patted his knees lightly with both hands, "Whether it's Zhao Tian or Jiu Ye, they really didn't tell us everything."

"But... what's wrong with that?
Uncle Liu glanced at Jiang Dashu, "There are many things we don't need to know too clearly, Master Jiu will handle things well, we just listen to him."

Jiang Dashu could see that Master Jiu didn't tell the truth about the matter, which was actually not surprising at all. He had lived for decades, and many things could be seen clearly.

"Well. Yes, Uncle Six, you still see clearly."

Jiang Dashu was silent for a while, and finally nodded. Master Jiu has lived here for decades and has saved too many people. Since he doesn't say it, it means that people like him don't need to know about it, no matter what Master Jiu does. What, it must be for the good of people like myself, that's enough.

"By the way, if you are going into the mountains and need people, then our village can also send people."

Uncle Six nodded, "This matter depends on Master Jiu's arrangement. If they have this plan, then every village will have to produce people, and they must produce the best people."

……

Master Jiu's face was very ugly, and Zhao Tian's brows were also tightly knit.

Master Jiu, take a sip of water first. "

After walking for several hours, Zhao Tian saw that the sun had risen to the mid-heaven and was pouring heat. Walking a few steps in such weather would make him sweat profusely.

After taking the kettle, Jiu Ye took a few sips and handed it back to Zhao Tian.

"Master Jiu, it seems that the matter is very serious."

Zhao Tian sat down on a big rock, took a breath, looked at the small river not far away, and shook his head.

For most of the day, he and Master Jiu had already walked a long way, passed through four or five villages, and found bugs in the small river, the difference was only a little more or a little less.

"Ah."

Master Jiu nodded. This is actually the main purpose of his coming out today. The reality really gave him a headache. I asked about it when I went to two villages. The first time I found the bug was only a week ago. This also means that those bugs multiplied and spread to the next two villages within a week, a distance of more than five kilometers!

After a while, maybe the whole river will be filled with these things.

Knowing this, how could Master Jiu be in a good mood?
"Let's go back."

After resting for a while, Lord Jiu decided not to go any further. The current situation is already very serious, and it doesn't make much sense to look further.

After returning to the village, Master Jiu asked Zhao Tian to tell Zhao Shi what happened today, and asked him to send someone to notify more downstream villages.

Zhao Tian knew the importance of this matter, nodded and went to find Zhao Shi.When I returned to Master Jiu's house, I found that he was pounding some medicine, which smelled very pungent, but I took a glance and found that the medicine powder inside was dark brown, and I couldn't tell what it was.

"Master Jiu, is this the medicine you prepared?"

Zhao Tian put the small basin in his hand on the ground, which contained some bugs he fished from the river, and then squatted down on the ground.

"Well, give it a try and see if it works, let's use it."

Master Jiu handed the mortar and pestle to Zhao Tian while speaking.

Zhao Tian's movements were faster and his strength was stronger, and he quickly crushed the medicine into powder. Master Jiu stretched out his hand and squeezed it to have a look, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Okay, good, it's done."

Under Jiu Ye's guidance, Zhao Tian carefully sprinkled the powder into the basin with a small spoon from the mortar.

"This...Master Jiu, it doesn't seem to be of any use."

A few minutes passed, and Zhao Tian found that none of the bugs in the basin responded, they were still swimming around in the water, and even burst out of the water from time to time, staring at himself and Master Jiu a few times.

He knew that the medicine should have no effect, or it would definitely not be like this.

Master Jiu also kept staring at the basin, and he also realized that the medicine powder he had prepared must be useless, otherwise it would not be the case now.

This matter is actually not easy at all. You must know that such strange little bugs are all over the small river. Although the water in the river does not directly communicate with the wells in the village, they actually affect each other from the perspective of groundwater.

If the medicine used is harmful to the human body, it is absolutely unacceptable. This is the first thing to pay attention to, that is to say, the prepared medicine will be fine even if people eat it, and at the same time, it will kill the bugs. Not easy to do.

At the same time, factors such as the length of the river, the amount of water, and the flow of the water must also be considered, not to mention that the bugs did not appear under normal circumstances at all, and their vitality was very tenacious.

"I don't think this bug can do it with ordinary methods."

Zhao Tian stared at the worms in the basin for a while, then suddenly said, "Master Jiu, this worm might have come out accidentally when those people in the valley were raising Gu, if we just treat it as a normal Bugs, thinking about killing them with poison, I don't think that's possible."

Master Jiu looked at Zhao Tian and nodded in satisfaction.

Just now seeing that the prepared medicine was useless, he actually thought of this possibility, and Zhao Tian was very satisfied that he thought of this so quickly, "Zhao Tian, ​​you are right, this should be the reason, then What do you think we should do?"

When Zhao Tian heard this, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and looked at Master Jiu speechlessly.

"Hey hey hey!"

Master Jiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he came back to his senses and smiled embarrassedly. Only then did he remember that he still taught Zhao Tian witchcraft. In this situation, he couldn't think of a solution for a while. It is too embarrassing to ask Zhao Tian to figure out a way.

"Come on, let me think about this again. You should read this book and write down everything in it first."

Master Jiu walked into the house, took out a booklet and threw it to Zhao Tian after a while.

After taking a look, Zhao Tian found that it was a small book the size of a palm, and the yellowed paper must have been quite old.

When he opened it, Zhao Tian immediately found that there were one after another talisman inside, one was drawn on each page, and there should be twenty or thirty talismans in total.

"Master Jiu, is this a talisman?"

Master Jiu nodded and said, "Yes, there is nothing wrong with it, it's a talisman."

"But... Jiuye, what is this talisman for?"

Zhao Tian flipped through several pages and found that the whole book didn't contain any characters except for the talismans drawn with lines. He didn't even know what the talismans were used for.

"You write down the drawing methods of these talismans first, and I will tell you their uses after you know how to draw them."

"Row."

Zhao Tian pulled a stool and started flipping through the books.At the beginning, he felt that the symbols in the book were very simple, and he could memorize them in a short time.But I soon found out that I was wrong, and things were not as simple as I imagined.

All the talismans are made up of lines. Although they look simple, they actually have dozens of strokes. What's more terrible is that all the talismans look similar. The difference is that there are more or fewer strokes, or they are connected. Something different.

When I finally remembered one and looked at the other, I immediately forgot what I wrote down before.

An hour passed, and Zhao Tian realized that he hadn't even written down any of them.

"Looks like you'll have to use perspective."

Zhao Tian rubbed his nose, his memory can be enhanced when he sees through, and he is close to his photographic memory. If he doesn't use this ability to write down this talisman, it will definitely take a lot of effort.

Turning his head and looking at the side, he found that Master Jiu was frowning and didn't pay attention to himself at all. Zhao Tian just stood up quietly and walked out of the yard. He didn't want to use perspective to read books beside Master Jiu. God knows if Master Jiu would notice. Zhao Tian didn't want to take risks.

After leaving the yard, Zhao Tian found a stone and sat down, opened the talisman and placed it on his lap, then concentrated.

Soon, Zhao Tian discovered that the talisman book was no different from other books, it gradually became transparent in front of him, and the talisman slowly floated up.

"Huh? The lines of this talisman...seem to be of different shades."

Zhao Tian found that the colors of the lines of the floating talismans were different, some places were darker and some places were lighter, but the difference was so small that if you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't be able to find it at all.

Zhao Tian discovered that not one talisman is like this, but the lines of all talismans have this characteristic. In addition, he also discovered another feature, that is, all talismans are drawn with one stroke, without breaks in the middle, and It's not that it's composed of many pens like what he saw before without using the perspective ability - the explanation is not clear, but he just has this feeling.

Relaxed, the perspective ability gradually disappeared, and Zhao Tian's brows were twisted into a pimple.

It's unbelievable, how could these talismans be drawn in one stroke?
Zhao Tian flipped through the talisman book, and he had memorized all the talismans in the book, but the problem in his mind was bothering him.

Why are the colors different?
"Snapped!"

Zhao Tian patted his head suddenly, and he thought of a possibility.

If the talisman in the book is drawn with one stroke, there must be a sequence, and it is impossible to start from anywhere. In this way, strokes of different shades can be connected, and the darkest strokes are the strokes drawn at the beginning. The shallow ones are painted on the back.

This is because the ink is the most at the beginning of the painting, and the ink is less at the end of the painting, which naturally becomes lighter.

As long as I follow the depth of the strokes of the talisman, I can study how the talisman is drawn in one stroke.

All the talismans in the book had been memorized. Zhao Tian stretched out his hand to draw in the air while recalling, and soon he found that his guess was correct—one stroke could really draw the talisman completely.
