Big dreamer

Shen sat at the corner of the table and lit the lamp, took out the three small porcelain bottles and yellow paper from his sleeve pocket, and placed them in front of him.

There are not many pieces of yellow paper, only a few dozen pieces. It is originally used for writing talismans. The size is cut appropriately, but the paper is a bit rough and has a rough texture to the touch.

Then, Shen Luo checked the three porcelain bottles again and frowned.

In the vial containing the rooster's blood, the blood had clotted and could not be poured out. Although the black dog's blood had not completely clotted, it had become quite viscous.

"No, if this is not used immediately, I'm afraid it will be useless tomorrow." Shen Luo frowned.

After that, he opened the drawer under the desk and took out a small hard-pointed awl and a white jade inkstone.

The small hard cone is made of wolf hair, and the white jade inkstone is dug from a whole piece of white marble. They are not too precious things. They are all things he took with him when he went up the mountain.

He first poured the black dog's blood into the inkstone, and a faint fishy smell filled the air.

Shen Luo grabbed the small tapered pen tube and mixed it with the black dog's blood for a moment. The tip of the pen was immediately licked with blood and dyed dark red.

He twisted a piece of yellow talisman paper and spread it in front of him, picked up the pen, but suddenly stopped.

"Let's take another look." Shen Luo muttered to himself.

After saying that, he took out the two broken ancient books "Chronicle of Zhang Tianshi's Subjugation of Demons" and "Zhen Jian of Secret Magic Talismans", opened them and put them aside.

It is described in some general outlines in the "Secret Magic Fu Lu Zhenjian": "The talisman means combination and faith. My spirit combines with that other's spirit, my energy combines with that person's energy. The spirit is invisible, but is shaped by the talisman." ”

What this means is that the reason why talismans have unpredictable powers is that the essence of human beings communicates with the essence of heaven and earth, thereby attaching invisible divine power to the tangible talisman paper.

Therefore, when drawing the talisman, you not only need to concentrate and calm down and eliminate distracting thoughts, but also you must complete the strokes in one go, so that the breath of energy can last continuously and achieve the state of divine harmony.

As the saying goes, it is easier to know than to do. Shen Luo was skeptical about the authenticity of the talismans in these books. It was really difficult for him to devote himself to them and get rid of all distracting thoughts.

He was holding the pen at the moment, but the thoughts in his heart were still complicated.

In fact, he was not good at drawing talismans. He had practiced on white paper countless times in the past, but it was his first time to draw talisman on this yellow paper seriously.

"The talisman is a combination of yin and yang, and only Zhicheng Xiang can use it..."

Shen Luo took a deep breath, stood up from the chair, stepped forward, and started writing on the yellow paper while reciting the words in the book.

Beginning with the word "Edict", the runes began to slide on the paper like running water. A book with the amulet "avoid all evil" was quickly written. This was the simplest amulet in the book in his opinion.

Shen Luo looked at the blood-stained handwriting on it and compared it with the talisman pictures attached to the "Chronicle of Master Zhang's Subjugation of Demons", and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Obviously the two were quite similar, but at a glance, he felt something was wrong.

"The movement of the writing has changed according to the way in the book, but why did I write this...it looks like I have breathed my last. It doesn't have the natural feeling that other people have." Shen Luo squinted his eyes and murmured.

After reading for a while, he suddenly thought that maybe when he was writing the talisman, he paused a few times and failed to do what was said in the book.

Thinking of this, he held his breath and started writing impatiently again.

As a result, this time due to the discomfort of holding my breath, my concentration became even worse, and the talisman I wrote was not as good as the first one.

Shen Luo was not discouraged. He took a short rest and calmed his breathing before swiping his pen again to draw the symbols, one after another.

In his opinion, practice makes perfect when it comes to drawing talismans. He has practiced other unidentified talismans thousands of times on white paper before, and now he should be just a little bit behind.

More than an hour later.

Shen Luo's face looked a little haggard, but there was a glimmer of excitement in his eyes.

He held a drawn yellow paper talisman in one hand and an open copy of "Chronicle of Zhang Tianshi's Subjugation of Demons" in the other hand, his eyes constantly going back and forth between the two.

"Yes, yes, this one finally looks a bit like that."

Although it still looks different from the book, the feeling of dying is obviously gone.

With this progress, he felt a surge of strength all over his body, and the previous fatigue was swept away, completely replaced by excitement.

There was not much black dog blood in the inkstone. Shen Luo took the small porcelain bottle and poured out all the remaining black dog blood.

Just when he was about to pick up the pen and continue, he suddenly stopped again.

"I don't know if this amulet is really useful?" Shen Luo hesitated and thought to himself.

Although this amulet is simple, just like the house amulet and the peace amulet, it is a talisman to attract good luck and avoid evil. It has no obvious attack effect. If you wear it on your body and put it at home, even if it works, it will be difficult to find it.

"Yes, let's try that one!"

Shen Luo suddenly slapped his forehead and remembered a story in "The Chronicle of Master Zhang's Subduing Demons".

The story is about when Zhang Tianshi encountered a rat spirit that was causing harm to his house and could not be driven away by using many talismans for reducing disasters and calming down the house. He used an attack talisman called the "Little Thunder Talisman" to kill the big rat that had become a spirit. The rat was blown to pieces.

He immediately turned the ancient book to that page, and indeed saw the picture of the small thunder talisman attached to the back.

Although there are many stories in this book, only a small part of them use talismans, most of which are ghost-exorcising talismans and house-guarding talismans. There is only this one offensive talisman that can be found.

"Hey, this is it..." Shen Luo smiled, observed carefully for a moment, and started drawing again.

Unlike the amulet, this small thunder talisman does not start with the word "imperial decree", but with the word "thunder" written in the ancient way. It is not easy to write.

Shen Luo had never practiced it before, and he wasted several pieces of talisman paper as soon as he started.

However, although he felt distressed, he had no intention of stopping. It was not until he used up more than ten pieces of talisman paper that he finally drew a "small thunder talisman" that was acceptable.

"It is impossible to guarantee that the spirit is full. Whether it can be used depends on God's will..." Shen Luo looked at the talisman in his hand and said to himself with some excitement in his heart.

As his hands finally felt better, he continued to paint. As a result, only one or two of the ten paintings were good.

Soon, there was not much black dog blood left in the inkstone.

Shen Luo thought about it, pulled out the bottle containing cinnabar, poured out some from it, and stirred it a few times. The two soon blended together.

The method of mixing dog blood with cinnabar was not Shen Luo's fantasy, but a method used by Zhang Tianshi in the book, otherwise he would not waste things like this.

There was not much talisman paper left, and after drawing two small thunder talismans, they were used up together with the black dog blood, and finally ran out of ammunition and food.

Shen Luo sighed for a long time, leaned on the armrest of the chair, and sat down.
