Longevity: Never leave the mountain until you are invincible

The divine power talisman was very fast and disappeared instantly in just a blink of an eye.

"Lord Lu, I hope you won't lie to me. Otherwise, without Emperor Hongguang taking action, I will personally send you on your way, including your son and your wife."

Chu Chen's words floated in the air again.

It was so cold that the temperature in the cell seemed to have dropped by dozens of degrees.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Lu Qinghou suddenly became excited and denied it repeatedly.

"I have another question, where is the Taoist temple where you obtained the divine power talisman and the talisman?"

Chu Chen asked again.

"It's on a mountain called Jinhua Mountain in Heishi County, Yantai Prefecture. However, that Taoist temple has long been abandoned and has not been inhabited for at least hundreds of years."

Lu Qinghou replied.

"kindness."

Chu Chen simply responded with one word, and there was no more sound in the air.

"Little shopkeeper?"

After waiting for a long time, Lu Qinghou called out a few times tentatively, and then he was sure that Chu Chen had left.

"It is sad to sit on a treasure mountain without knowing it."

Lu Qinghou suddenly collapsed on the ground, leaning against the wall of the cell, smiling and murmuring.

The smile on his lips seemed to be mocking himself.

No one who saw him would associate this lonely-looking old man with the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel who had previously dominated the Great Yan Court.

Lu Qinghou murmured to himself for several hours, repeating the same sentence. He waited until daybreak before falling into a deep sleep.

In the shadow of the cell, a dark shadow flashed past.

…

"It seems that Lu Qinghou is not lying. This is not a trap set against me."

On the way out of the Tianlao, Chu Chen thought in his heart, recalled what happened in the Tianlao, and gave up his last worry.

"Divine Power Talisman."

Back at the pawn shop, Chu Chen studied the magical talisman.

The talismans on it are complicated, and no pattern can be seen. They are not much different from the talismans painted in ordinary Taoist temples.

After thinking about it, Chu Chen gave up the idea of ​​research and sealed the divine power talisman.

What can be learned by just looking at a talisman? Let’s compare and study it after we get the talisman back.

To be on the safe side, Chu Chen did not immediately go to Changqing Tooth Shop to pick up the things.

Three days later, Emperor Hongguang issued an order to behead Lu Qinghou at Caishikou for treason, and then he found an idle man to help him go to Changqing Tooth Shop to retrieve the things Lu Qinghou had left behind.

During this period, Chu Chen asked Zhao Changlin to take action to rescue Lu Qinghou's wife and children from the imperial capital, and gave them some silver to keep their names anonymous.

Zhao Changlin's explanation was to repay Lu Qinghou for his kindness in protecting him over the years, and Zhao Changlin naturally agreed.

What Lu Qinghou left behind was a locked iron box.

Chu Chen's method of unlocking is also very simple. He can open the iron box by standing far away and using his true energy to break the iron lock.

There are no mechanisms in the iron box. There are several divine talismans, several talismans different from the divine talismans, a talisman pen, hundreds of blank talisman papers, a porcelain bottle, and a book with "How to Make Basic Talisman" written on it. Books, as well as some house deeds, jade and other things from various places in Yan.

Chu Chen didn't care about other things such as house deeds and jade. He focused entirely on the "How to Make Basic Talisman".

After letting the mouse enter the iron box to check dozens of times, and after confirming that there was no danger, Chu Chen picked up the "How to Make Basic Talismans" and started to read through it.

"A talisman is profound and profound. The talisman paper, talisman pen, and cinnabar used to draw the talisman must all be carefully selected... When drawing the talisman, you must be calm... If you make a mistake in one stroke, all your previous efforts will be wasted."

The first half of "How to Make Basic Talismans" focuses on describing the precautions for drawing talismans, interspersed with some of the insights that Lu Qinghou left behind when making talismans.

The second half of "How to Make Basic Talismans" records several templates for drawing talismans.

Cleansing talisman, divine power talisman, guiding talisman, light body talisman, concealment talisman, and flying sword talisman.

Among them, the first five talismans such as the Cleansing Talisman are low-level talismans, while the Flying Sword Talisman is better and is an intermediate-level talisman.

"Flying Sword Talisman?"

When Chu Chen saw the last talisman, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He has not found the immortal cultivation technique for the time being, and cannot complete the job transition from swordsman to sword immortal.

Chu Chen speculated that even if he found the technique of cultivating immortals, he would still have a long way to go before he could be like the sword immortal in his memory, flying swords and traveling in and out of the underworld.

But the appearance of the Flying Sword Talisman made him see the possibility of overcoming the addiction to sword immortality in advance.

According to the description of the Flying Sword Talisman, after the Flying Sword Talisman is activated, a spiritual energy flying sword can be condensed to kill people within ten feet.

"Take someone's head within ten feet?"

Chu Chen was delighted. Although he was not as good as a real Sword Immortal who could kill people thousands of miles away, he had a little bit of the qualities of a Sword Immortal.

Covering the iron sword with innate true energy, it can attack people within three feet, barely achieving an effect similar to that of a flying sword.

But doing so consumes a lot of energy, and the lethality is far less than that of holding a sword in hand.

"We must successfully draw the Flying Sword Talisman!"

Chu Chen felt hot in his heart.

There was no need for him to prepare tools for making talismans. Lu Qinghou had already prepared a set.

Chu Chen did not practice drawing the Flying Sword Talisman as soon as he came up, but started learning from the simplest Cleaning Talisman.

When working with talismans, you still have to follow the principle of gradual progress.

You can't start learning to run without even learning to crawl.

Take out a brush and draw the cleaning talisman on ordinary paper first. After you become familiar with it, draw it on talisman paper.

After three days of using up countless papers, Chu Chen finally became thoroughly familiar with the method of drawing the cleansing talisman, and could draw it in one stroke without any pause.

At this moment, he officially began to try to draw talismans.

…

Secret room.

Chu Chen took out the prepared talisman paper.

This was made by Lv Qinghou according to the "Method of Making Basic Talismans" with some special materials. It is much tougher than ordinary paper and costs ten times as much as ordinary paper.

This kind of paper is the lowest grade of talisman paper and can be used to draw low-level talismans.

Slightly higher-level talismans, such as flying sword talismans, require talisman paper made of precious animal skins mixed with special materials.

Spread the talisman paper and put it on the table, and put the talisman pen and cinnabar aside.

Chu Chen did not rush to start, but closed his eyes.

Drawing talismans is a delicate job that cannot tolerate the slightest negligence. If there is a slight mistake, all the previous efforts will be wasted.

Before drawing talismans, there is a series of preparations.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Silently recite the meditation mantra several times to let yourself enter a state of calmness.

"Begin!"

After adjusting his mind and body, Chu Chen picked up the talisman pen and dipped it in cinnabar.

Started to draw the talisman for the first time.

As soon as he put pen to paper, Chu Chen's face changed slightly, and his heart was rippled.

"Puff!"

A ball of flame rose up, and the talisman paper spontaneously ignited without fire, and instantly burned into a ball of ashes.

"How is this different from the notes left by Lu Qinghou?"

Chu Chen frowned, a little surprised and doubtful.

Lu Qinghou had practiced drawing talismans and achieved considerable results. He could successfully draw two talismans, the cleansing talisman and the divine power talisman.

The cleansing talisman, the divine power talisman in the iron box, and the divine power talisman that Chu Chen obtained from Lu Qinghou were all drawn by Lu Qinghou himself.

According to Lu Qinghou, every time he finished drawing a talisman, he would feel sore all over and his spirit was depressed. It seemed that when he was drawing the talisman, some of his energy was taken away.

But.

When Chu Chen was drawing the talisman just now, he did not notice that his energy and spirit were being drained away. Instead, there was movement in the true energy in his body.
