Killing God

"Talisman?"

Zhang Yihui turned around in astonishment, and looked at Shen Shi. Shen Shi stood there calmly, looking at Zhang Yihui with some scrutiny, without any other special expression. .

Zhang Yihui frowned slowly, and said, "Do you want to learn the way of talismans?"

Shen Shi said concisely and clearly: "Yes."

For the first time, Zhang Yihui looked at him cautiously, and said, "Although the Tao of Talismans can be regarded as the companion path of the five-element technique, it is more difficult and complicated than the five-element technique itself." No less, have you thought about it?"

Shen Shi was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Zhang Yihui said: "Our school is extensive and profound, and the Taoist method of talisman is naturally available. The most basic introductions include the yin and yang, five elements and ten runes in the talisman, as well as many talisman arrays, and finally the Taoism of imbuing the spirit that constitutes the talisman. , you can learn all of them. But Junior Brother Shen..." At the end, he couldn't help but add another sentence, saying, "It's great to be interested in the Five Elements Art, but it's really not wise to be too radical. Especially this talisman Taoism is extremely energy-intensive. It takes a lot of effort and a long time for ordinary people just to memorize the ten yin-yang and five-element runes, not to mention the countless talismans behind them. The gate of filling the spirit is even more difficult, even if it is a senior brother, I have still..."

His voice suddenly dropped, he smiled wryly, and sighed, it seems that this senior Zhang Yihui also suffered a lot in the talisman.

Shen Shi was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Brother Zhang, do you have pen, ink and paper here?"

Zhang Yihui was stunned for a moment, and said, "Of course there are pens and paper, what are you going to do?"

Shen Shi smiled and said, "Borrow it."

Zhang Yihui didn't quite understand, but seeing that Shen Shi seemed to have a deep meaning, and at this time he really had a good impression of this junior, he still went to the back and brought a pen and paper, Shen Shi nodded his thanks, took the pen and paper, and deeply After taking a breath, he collected himself, and then, under Zhang Yihui's gaze, he wrote on the paper.

The posture between the wrist and the pen is extremely stable, and there is hardly any tremor, but the strokes written by Shen Shi's pen are distorted, complicated and difficult to distinguish, not like a word at all, but a mysterious and complicated strange picture .Standing beside him, Zhang Yihui's expression gradually became strange.

After finishing the first weird and complicated rune, Shen Shi didn't stop, and started to draw the second, then the third, and the fourth... Each rune he drew seemed to have more and more strokes , more and more difficult and complicated, ordinary people feel a little dizzy just looking at it, but Shen Shi seems to be familiar with it, his face is light and very calm, so he continued to draw all the way until he finished the tenth rune.

When he raised his head again, the expression on Zhang Yihui's face could no longer be described as shock. For a moment, he seemed to be at a loss for what to say, and he said in a dazed voice after a long while: "This, this Yin-Yang Five Elements Ten Talisman Wen, how, how can you be so familiar with it?"

Shen Shi lowered his head slightly, and said: "Since I was five years old, my father has forced me to draw these ten runes every day, day after day, counting up to now...it should be ten years."

As he spoke, he shook his head and smiled slightly.

※※※

With the foundation of the past ten years, Zhang Yihui immediately agreed without saying a word. At the same time, he was even more enthusiastic about this extremely rare junior in his words. It seemed that he really wanted to drag Shen Shi into the art hall immediately.It's just that the Lingxiao Sect's sect rule stipulates that one cannot go to the mountain for further studies until the Yuan Condensation Realm. Zhang Yihui has nothing to do about it, but after asking about Shen Shi's Taoism and knowing that he is already at the middle level of the Qi Refining Realm, Zhang Yihui feels that this junior has a bright future. In the early stage, even though the talent in cultivation is not as good as Gan Ze's monstrous genius, it is already considered to be above average, and the possibility of breaking through the Yuan Condensation Realm in the future is extremely high.

It seems that these newcomer disciples who are naturally interested in the five elements of magic, have good aptitude, and have practiced the basic runes of talismans for ten years since they were young, are simply born for the art hall.

At that moment, Zhang Yihui took Shen Shi directly to the red stone gate representing the fire spell, and asked him to go in alone and recite the fire barrier formula silently. After about an hour, after Shen Shi memorized it, Zhang Yihui brought him again. On the other side of the Hall of Five Elements, Shen Shi was made to wait for a while this time. He entered the apse alone, and when he came out after a while, he already had a thin scroll in his hand.

There are four characters written on the cover of the scroll: "Xiaojie Fulu".

Zhang Yihui handed the scroll to Shen Shi, and said, "To be honest, since Herring Island was opened and the Five Elements Hall was completed, there has never been a newcomer disciple on the island who directly asked to practice talismans," he said. With a bit of embarrassment on his face, he said, "So, I don't actually have any talisman method specially prepared for new disciples."

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at the "Little Explanation of Talismans" in his hand.

Zhang Yihui explained: "This "Literary Explanation of Talismans" is actually my personal possession, and it records ten first-order spell formations, including the most common fireball, water archery, and rock thorn. Some auxiliary spells, including the fire barrier spell array you just learned, are also included. As for the last magic formula, I will teach you directly now."

Shen Shi nodded again and again, but when he remembered something again, he couldn't help but feel a little more worried, and said: "Brother, the cost of practicing this talisman..."

Zhang Yihui thought for a while, then frowned and said, "That's a problem. No newcomer disciple has ever learned talismans. It was only after they went to the Jinhong Mountain in the Condensation Realm that someone proposed to practice this way, so I really can't say the price. .”

Shen Shi asked tentatively: "Brother, what is the charge for this talisman in Jinhong Mountain?"

Zhang Yihui looked at him and suddenly smiled.Shen Shi felt guilty for no reason, sneered, and said: "Brother, why do you laugh so strangely..."

Zhang Yihui smiled slightly, and said: "In the surgery hall, every time you buy a type of talisman, if you buy a first-level magic talisman, each ten spirit crystals, and the price of a higher-level magic is different. In addition, It is enough to buy the spirit imbuement formula once, but it costs one hundred spirit crystals."

Shen Shi was taken aback, and almost threw out the "Literary Explanation of Talismans" in his hand, and said in astonishment: "What, that means I have to, again..."

Zhang Yihui laughed out loud, stretched his palm forward, and smiled a little more cunningly than Shang Shang, and said, "Chenghui, please pay another two hundred spirit crystals."

※※※

Shen Shi was dumbfounded, and after a while, he still shook his head and said, "I have no money."

Zhang Yihui didn't look angry either, and said with a smile, "Not enough money?"

Shen Shi was a little frustrated, sighed, and said, "It's far away." Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "Brother Zhang, it's useless if I want these ten talisman formations, and I haven't learned any other techniques. What do these talismans do, why don't I just buy the talisman for Imbuing Spirit Art and Water Archery, er, at most add the talisman for Fire Barrier."

Zhang Yihui squinted at him and said with a smile: "Oh, you can't afford two hundred spirit crystals, can you afford these 120 spirit crystals?"

Shen Shi was silent for a moment, then smiled wryly, and said: "I can't afford it either..."

Zhang Yihui smiled, and said: "That's right, what's more, I only have this book of talismans on hand. If you pick three or four and only two, do you want me to tear off two pages from this book and give it to you?" ?"

"Uh..." Shen Shi was speechless, and he couldn't help being a little disappointed in his heart. He wondered if he was too greedy. It seems that he can only get a glimpse of the magic of this talisman after he breaks through the Yuan Condensation Realm and goes up the mountain. up.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhang Yihui patted him on the shoulder and said: "Well, I see that you are studious and talented. You pay [-]% of the spirit crystals for these things first, and the rest is up to you." Treat it as owed to me, and pay it back every month until the repayment is over, how do you think?"

Shen Shi was startled, and said: "Is this okay?"

Zhang Yihui smiled slightly and said: "If your spirit crystal is really nervous, there is another way, that is, you quickly learn the method of imbuing spirits, and then make talismans. No matter what kind of talismans, as long as they are finished products, give me five pieces every month." , even if the debt is covered.”

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, then recalled the past, and suddenly glanced at Senior Brother Zhang with a bit of suspicion, and said, "Senior Brother, don't you want to... sell it?"

Zhang Yihui chuckled, and said: "Brother, our art hall is already weak, and I was sent to the Five Elements Hall on Herring Island. It was even more difficult. I didn't have any spiritual crystal income for leisure. What do you think of the reward for Talisman and Taoism?"

Shen Shi thought about it in his mind. He had done it in the first floor of the sky in the past, so he naturally knew the price of the talismans. He sold them to ordinary casual cultivators. A spirit crystal, and occasionally some uncommon and rare spell talismans, even if the price is doubled, it is not uncommon.

Zhang Yihui asked for five talismans for himself every month, and after changing hands, he made a lot of money out of it.However, Shen Shi was born in a businessman. Although he thought of this section, his thinking was different from ordinary people. He was not obsessed with Zhang Yihui transferring money from it, but saw that he had also obtained a lot of benefits from it after all, which was not too much. He suffered a loss, but he still had the only worry, so he finally asked Zhang Yihui:

"Brother Zhang, I have no problem with other things, but if we do this, is it a violation of the sect's rules?"

Zhang Yihui sneered and said: "The sect guards against the private teaching of the method of divine passage. We do this on the bright side. I will sign an agreement with you later on, and you will write down the method of repaying the debt one by one. If someone asks to take out this document to have a look, it will be fine."

Shen Shi said "oh", thought about the matter from beginning to end in his heart, finally nodded and agreed.

Sure enough, Zhang Yihui went back and took out a document. It seems that Lingxiaozong, or the Shutang, seems to have been prepared for this kind of method.The two made an agreement and wrote it down on paper, and then Shen Shi got the "Little Explanation of Talismans", and then Zhang Yihui officially passed on his method of instilling spirits.

This method is not too long, but there are quite subtle and profound things in it, Shen Shi couldn't understand it for a while, so he just wrote it down first.

After a while of busy work, when Shen Shi walked out of the Five Elements Hall again, it was already past noon.Compared with when he first came to the Hall of Five Elements in the morning, he had learned one more first-order five-element spell, Fire Barrier, and one more basic introduction to the Talisman Path, and he still had some heavy debts all over his body.

Reminiscing about the fee for Zhong Qinglu's alchemy on weekdays, Shen Shi suddenly felt that the pressure on his shoulders was too heavy, and he couldn't help but feel a toothache.
