Chapter 15 Learn the first spell

After changing his clothes, he quietly moved to an inn a street away from Baijisi Yamen.

Xu Yuanchang chose the innermost suite on the second floor, which has a bedroom and a living room for practicing martial arts. He lived in seclusion and meditated in his room every day, practiced light body skills, knife-throwing skills, read books and drew talismans, and studied diligently.

Three months have passed like this, and Xu Yuanchang feels that his cultivation has become much deeper.

He has become more and more proficient in the light body leaping technique. He moves between the two rooms like a whirlwind, moving lightly and silently.

The figure flipped in the air, and there were flashes of cold light, drawing different arcs, "Duh duh", two flying knives were shot on the thick wooden board full of holes in another room, splashing bits and pieces of debris.

Xu Yuanchang's toes landed lightly on the ground, he slowly exhaled a long breath, sat cross-legged and breathed out for half an hour.

Recovering the lost mana, he sat at the table, flipping through the ancient "Preliminary Solution to Magic", and gesturing carefully with his fingers.

The thick book explains the origin of magic, mostly with theoretical notes.

There are four basic spells at the back, namely blinding, wall-penetrating, wind-calling and rain-calling. The last rain-calling spell has a missing page and is no longer complete.

The spells in this world are mixed with many Shinto spells and techniques.

It is necessary to understand God, find some opportunity in the dark, and achieve a balance of tranquility and change.

Without the guidance of famous teachers and elders, Xu Yuanchang thought blindly for more than two months, but he couldn't even figure out the first and simplest blind trick in the book.

He stood up, holding the money in his left hand and rubbing it.

This is a stupid method he learned from a book to warm and maintain a magical instrument, called "panning". It takes a long time, and it is said that even stubborn rocks can reveal emotions.

I walked around the hall and meditated hard, holding the money in my left hand and making the sutras with my right hand.

He has practiced the tricks quickly and accurately, and the magic power in his body is becoming more and more abundant. He can recite the spells backwards and forwards, and complete them in an instant with the tip of his tongue silently. He should not be able to learn the blind trick.

There are words in his mouth:

"Seeing illusions and seeing reality, I carry my emptiness; if you return to emptiness, return to it as you please. In accordance with the law of the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Dharmas, this is an edict!"

As the last word came out, Xu Yuanchang stopped for a moment in a daze.

Feeling something in my heart, I quickly looked at the table by the window after I came back to my senses.

A pile of copper coins was placed neatly, exactly ten coins, and they just appeared out of thin air.

Xu Yuanchang was overjoyed. He unknowingly understood the blinding technique. With his current magic power, he could not change large and complex objects. He reached into his sleeve pocket and found that there were ten copper coins missing.

The magic is conserved, and it is impossible to conjure money for no reason.

Of course, you can also put the money in other people's pockets into your own pocket.

However, there is a warning in the book that once the spell is broken, it will suffer backlash and bear the corresponding consequences.

It is said that some people who have mastered magic can pick up money every day. I don’t know if it is true or not?
After calming down, Xu Yuanchang made a spell with his hands and silently recited the incantation. The next moment, the copper coins on the table disappeared out of thin air, and ten more copper coins appeared in his sleeves.

"Hehe, it's really magical and wonderful!"

Confirming that he had comprehended the first spell and would not fail again, Xu Yuanchang smiled from ear to ear.

The old juggler he met in Qingshi Town that day used a blind trick to scare him badly. The next time he meets him again, he will also change his appearance for the old man to see.

Of course, just think about it for yourself, he will not easily show off his abilities in front of outsiders.

For the second wall-penetrating technique, he memorized the incantation and practiced it very well.

I don’t dare to actually try it yet.

If you break a wall, you have to pay for it; if you break your head, you will feel pain.

Putting on his bamboo hat, lowering the eaves, Xu Yuanchang opened the door and walked out.

After strolling around the nearby streets, he wore an ordinary green cloth long coat, walked into a restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and ate to his heart's content.

I went to a nearby bookstore and read books for half an hour to entertain myself. When I left, I bought two mountain and river travel notes.

Live your life leisurely and enjoy peace of mind in the busy city.

Except spending money like running water.

Practice breathing, flying knives, leaping lightly, and swordsmanship with fists and feet every day, and spend an hour practicing the "evil-breaking talisman" and "illusion-breaking talisman" among the basic talismans. There are only three talismans recorded in the book, among which the "suppressing talisman" There are five kinds of "house talismans", and he learned them all without wasting the only ten yellow talisman papers on hand.

Because the house-holding talisman cannot be exchanged for spiritual coins.

Low-level Evil-Breaking Talisman and Illusion-Breaking Talisman are for sale in Xianyuyuan shop. Depending on the amount of mana contained, each piece costs four to six spiritual coins, with a clear price tag.

He bought ordinary yellow talisman paper from an outside shop and practiced sketching it. After using up pile after pile, he clearly understood the details of the two talismans.

He realized the blinding technique today and felt that his magic power was enough to support him.

When the time is right, you can try to draw low-level talismans.

In winter, the sun is warm and the wind is not cold.

Xu Yuanchang wore a bamboo hat and walked through the streets and alleys every day, tasting delicious food, wandering around and relaxing. He also went outside the city and walked along the Qingjiang embankment. He spent a few days adjusting his mood to a calm state of mind. On the second day of December, it is appropriate to open a business, go out, sweep, move, break ground, and pray for blessings.

It is the auspicious day he selected from the almanac.

Xu Yuanchang burned incense and prayed, then spread out a piece of yellow talisman paper worth ten taels of silver. He used his best talisman pen and dipped it in the best cinnabar ink. As if with divine help, he finished the writing in one go.

The red ink is vertical and horizontal, and the talisman patterns are connected to complete an evil-breaking talisman.

Xu Yuanchang showed a smile of disappointment on his face. It was just a shape, not magical. It was a useless talisman without any fallacy.

Putting away the useless talisman, he folded up the thick almanac book he bought from the street shop and threw it into the corner to collect dust.

Don't take up space on his desk.

Calm down your mind, go out to eat, drink and hang out, holding the Dharma money in your hands and rubbing it.

In the next few days, he had to draw a evil-breaking talisman every day. However, he failed to draw the talisman one after another. After repeated failures, his heart felt like an ancient well, and he was almost numb. It was so pitiful that he finally died after being hit by a blind cat on the eighth day. The mouse drew a talisman.

There was a moment of trance.

Staring at the evil-breaking talisman on the table with a weak aura.

Xu Yuanchang forced himself to calm down, carefully put the talisman pen back on the pen holder, and couldn't help but laugh "hehe" twice.

He is too difficult.

It’s so cool.

Such an outrageous success rate was a unique test for his state of mind.

Looking at the hard-painted talisman, Xu Yuanchang carefully recalled all the details of his feelings, and finally shook his head and gave up. He couldn't catch such a mysterious feeling, and he would have to try his luck next time.

The weather has been blowing from the north for several days, and at night it was boiling and snowing all over the sky.

At noon on the second day, the wind stopped and the snow stopped.

Xu Yuan Changxin put on ordinary Taoist robes and walked through the snow to the Xianyu Garden covered in snow. He smiled and nodded with the green-coated boy who was lightly tapping his feet in the cold. He walked into the hall with a gust of cold wind. There were only three people standing around the stove. Drink tea.

Nodding and smiling, Xu Yuanchang went up the stairs to the second floor without stopping.

"Who is this?"

"The fellow juniors that Yin Quan recognizes come very rarely."

"Oh, no wonder I don't know him."

Xu Yuanchang heard the low-pitched conversation of the three people in his ears. He had already walked into the shop and glanced around. He saw the woman in white sitting in front of the window reading a book, but the gentle Fairy He was still missing.

"Need something?"

The woman put down her book and stood up, greeting her calmly and calmly, exactly as before.

Xu Yuanchang took out a thin box from his arms, placed it on the counter, opened it gently, and said to the woman in white who approached: "Xianzi An, could you please help me take a look at this evil-breaking talisman? Will your shop recycle it?"

The woman came over and brought a light cold fragrance. She glanced at it and said, "The quality is low. One spiritual coin will be recycled."

Xu Yuanchang knew that the talisman paper was made of poor quality and could not hold too much mana. He was not disappointed and asked, "Can I exchange it for five Yunhuang talisman papers?"

The woman looked at the Taoist priest who had made great progress and nodded in agreement: "Okay."

There are ten Yunhuang talisman papers in a stack, and they are sold for two spiritual coins. They are not usually broken down for retail sale.

Xu Yuanchang exchanged the evil-breaking talisman he had worked so hard to draw for five pieces of average-quality cloud-yellow talisman paper, and asked casually: "Xianzi An, have you ever seen Yin Quan come here these days?"

"I've seen you before. I went out again at the beginning of the month."

"Oh."

Xu Yuanchang cupped his fists to say thank you, walked out of the shop and went downstairs to leave.

A little disappointed that I just missed it.

The woman in white picked up the low-quality evil-breaking talisman and walked to the window to look at it carefully.

"I used ordinary yellow talismans to draw evil-breaking talismans. If I tell you, not many people will believe it, right? He is short of money... It seems that he only has a stack of ordinary yellow talisman papers?"

The woman put the Evil-Breaking Talisman into her sleeve and placed a spiritual coin on the shop account.

Wait until he comes again next time and have a nice talk.

As the old saying goes, once you make a friend, you will become acquainted twice, and you will become a friend three times or four times.
