Big dreamer

Shen Luo shook his head, put aside his random thoughts for the time being, got up and went to the door to ask for a meal.

After a while, the mistress came in holding a tray with a meal of two meat and two vegetables.

Shen Luo had been hungry for a long time, so he immediately ate his food and quickly ate up the food.

The mistress waited for Shen Luo to finish eating, cleared away the dishes, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Shen Luo:

"Wait a minute, little brother, are you a native of Songfan County? Are you familiar with the situation in the city?"

"The villain is from the nearby Xujiaji. However, I often go to the city to do shopping, so I am quite familiar with the situation in the city. Master, do you have anything to tell me?" the third son asked respectfully.

"Then do you know where I can buy yellow talisman paper and cinnabar in the county?" Shen Luo asked.

"Yellow talisman paper and cinnabar? We have these two things in the store." The mistress thought for a while and said.

"These two items are not commonly used on weekdays. Do they really exist in the store?" Shen Luo asked with some disbelief.

"It's a coincidence that my shopkeeper invited a mage to come to the shop last month to open an altar to pray for blessings and bring wealth. There are a lot of talisman paper and cinnabar left, which are piled in the backyard. If you need it, sir, I can ask the shopkeeper for some for you?" "The third son smiled.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Shen Luo said, taking out a small piece of broken silver and giving it to the other party as a reward.

"Thank you, sir. In addition to talisman paper and cinnabar, do you need anything else? I will find it for you." The third son was very happy. This small piece of silver was worth two or three taels, which was worth three or four months of his life. The wages are paid.

"If you don't tell me, I almost forgot. Can you find me some fresh black dog blood, and a set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Well, tung oil, get me some more tung oil." Shen Luo pondered for a moment and then said.

"There is a slaughterhouse in the town. Dog blood is very easy to obtain. Tung oil is sold in the nearby grocery store. There are also ready-made pens, inks, papers and inkstones in the store. Master, wait a moment, I will get it for you." The mistress said, Leaving in a flash.

Less than half an hour later, he ran back, holding another tray with the sunken objects on it.

Shen Luo checked it and after confirming that it was correct, he dismissed the mistress and immediately began to try to draw the little thunder talisman with the "treasure hunting" power.

He picked up the pen and filled it with talisman ink, but he didn't start drawing the talisman immediately. Instead, he looked thoughtful.

Although he has mastered the drawing method of the small thunder talisman, the original small thunder talisman where he found the jade pillow was drawn in a daze. Now it is not easy to make another one.

He tried his best to recall the situation when he drew the little treasure-hunting thunder talisman, but many days had passed, and many things happened one after another during this period. He searched hard and could only barely recall 30% to 40%.

Shen Luo recalled these 30% to 40% memories several times before putting pen to paper and starting to try.

Except for the parts he remembered, he also tried his best to imitate his previous painting methods in other parts.

…

After an unknown amount of time, a thick stack of "little thunder talismans" appeared on the table in front of Shen Luo.

"There are so many, it should be enough. One of them must be effective." Shen Luo murmured.

He then began to soak the treasure hunting talismans one by one in tung oil, and the talismans were quickly soaked with tung oil.

Shen Luo took out the talismans one by one, wiped the oil stains on the surface, and carefully dried them with a lamp flame to make pieces of oil paper talismans.

He then put one of the oil talismans into a basin filled with clear water. The oil talisman did not get wet and softened, and the runes on it were still bright red as before.

Tomorrow I was going to hunt for treasure in the river. In order to prevent the talisman from being damaged by water, Shen Luo came up with this method.

When he was at home, he saw his servants using tung oil to make waterproof paper, so he copied the gourd and painted the gourd. He did not expect that this method was really effective.

He took out the three small thunder talismans on his body and dealt with them in the same way.

After doing this, Shenluo was extremely tired, so he fell down and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already bright outside, and the sunlight shone into the room through the window, as if it had been cut with golden lines.

Shen Luo stood up and opened the window. The sky was blue and as quiet as a mirror, occasionally dotted with a few fine and white clouds. It was obvious that today would be a good day.

He quickly finished washing up, but did not go on the road immediately. Instead, he took a pen and ink and wrote a letter at his desk.

A few days ago, he received a letter from home at Chunqiu Temple. However, recently, he has been troubled by various things and forgot to write a reply. He only remembered it when he met Liu Baichuan yesterday.

My father saw the letter as if he had met:

In the Spring and Autumn Observation, the child saw that everything was fine, his cultivation was going quite smoothly, his physical condition had improved greatly, and he was no longer as weak as before.

I wonder how the situation at home is? How are the second mother, second brother, and little sister doing?

The last time his father's letter mentioned the plague in Niuyue Town in the west of the city, it must be a lung fever disease. The boy has carefully considered it in the past few days, combined with the ancient Lotus Qingwen Decoction, and figured out a recipe, using lotus, ephedra, and almond. Patchouli, rhodiola, peppermint, and licorice are used as medicine, which should have a relieving effect. The specific dosage will be written at the end of the letter later.

Shen Luo then wrote some more about what he had experienced in Spring and Autumn, without mentioning his current condition at all, so as not to worry his family.

At this point, he stopped writing, wrote the recipe for "Lotus Qingwen Soup" in detail, dried the ink, and put the letter away.

Shen Luo was eager to hunt for treasure. After finishing this, he got up and went to the inn lobby.

"Master Shen, are you going to set off so early?" The shopkeeper surnamed Hou saw Shen Luo coming with a bag on his back and immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

"Shopkeeper Hou, this is my room fee yesterday and the consultation fee for Doctor Liu. I was in a hurry yesterday and forgot about this. Please pass it on for me." Shen Luo said, taking out two pieces of silver and putting them on the counter.

"It's just one night, why would I need so much." Shopkeeper Hou waved his hands repeatedly.

"Yesterday, I was ill, and thanks to your help, I was able to recover in time. The extra money is my thank you gift." Shen Luo bowed his hands and walked out quickly without waiting for Shopkeeper Hou to say anything.

Shopkeeper Hou raised his hand, as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw Shen Luo's slightly anxious face, he swallowed his words back.

Outside the inn, Xiao Sanzi had already led the horse over. Shen Luo jumped on the horse and urged the horse to leave quickly.
