Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 22 Advancement
"I can't see that you have experienced so many things, but you haven't made any progress?" Jiang Shan said while picking up the leftovers on the plate.

"The things I have experienced are basically sudden incidents. I have just studied with a teacher." I want to find a balance for myself in language, but I really can't deny that I am a drag.

What happened last night was not a sudden incident. I should have prepared adequately. Who would have expected that these lonely souls and grieving ghosts would start forming gangs.

"Forget it, you, you don't work hard enough, and no one can help you." Jiang Shan's words are precious, and I can't find any reason to refute.

I said helplessly: "I also want to become stronger, but I have become lazy, and I have missed so many classes after the negative incident, and I still need tutoring and so on. I am under a lot of pressure now."

Jiang Shan was still pawing at the dishes on the plate, which made me upset.However, looking back at the series of subconscious movements I did in front of the black gate last night, it should be the qi refining in the Taoist cultivation of immortals. I have read the book for a long time before, but I haven't fully understood it. Why did I suddenly get enlightened?
It may be the reason of the fox Neidan, or it may be the improvement of my own realm.Or maybe I suddenly felt a strange smell in the old building.

So, I'm still making progress, not standing still.But now the problem I am facing is not how to improve, but how to improve substantially.Because the next time you have to face, it may not only be a few ghosts, but it may become an army.

"Sister Jiang Shan, I wonder if you have any way to quickly improve your ability?" I asked her cheekily.

She thought for a moment and said, "No, it's not fast, but it's still possible to move the sword to the wind. I just don't know if you can bear it." Jiang Shan finally picked out all the meat on the plate, leaving only a bunch of green meat. Green vegetables.

"Is it a big sacrifice? It won't be like the Sunflower Book, right? I'm still a child. I don't want to become a Taoist who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world?"

"Go pull your trousers pockets, you are a dead virgin with excess hormones." She put down the chopsticks in her hand, cleared her throat, and said with a blink of an eye, "I can put a voodoo on you, improve your body's functions, and make you feel better." Your memory and work efficiency have improved, as long as you can get together the things you need to cast a Gu."

"Are there any side effects? What do you want?"

Jiang Shan thought for a while and said: "The side effect is that it will damage the internal organs, which is permanent. The ingredients for the voodoo are not difficult to obtain, but I have almost used up the corpse oil, so it is more difficult to obtain."

The voodoo she was talking about was a kind of voodoo called skull voodoo.To use human skulls, corpse oil, loach, poisonous bees, and several kinds of medicinal herbs.The so-called voodoo, you may have the impression that it is a kind of mysterious witchcraft, which is mostly used to harm people.But all things are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, and if there is yin, there must be yang.It is like arsenic, which is highly toxic, damages the metabolic system and affects the nervous system, but it can also treat certain types of leukemia.

Jiang Shan's mother used the various mechanisms of voodoo to create many novel voodoo techniques herself. She said so, but I am skeptical about this kind of evil witchcraft.Not to mention whether it is disgusting to eat or not, I am afraid just looking at these ingredients.

"Forget it anyway, I'm a bit resistant to these creatures."

"There are other ways."

"What way?" I asked her anxiously.

"You know I have tattoos, right? Tattoos can also be used to ward off evil spirits, at least they can protect your soul." Jiang Shan said and pulled up her sleeves.Seeing the densely packed unknown words on her right arm hurts even thinking about it.

"Is there a non-painful, non-disgusting way?"

"Then you can only hug your thighs." After she finished speaking, she gave me a blank look, stood up and was about to leave.

"How are you leaving? Wait for me! Thigh, let me hug you." I followed quickly.

Speaking of tattoos, the first time I saw this kind of thing was when I was two or three years old.My second master was still alive at that time, so I can’t even remember what the tattoo was.

Later, by accident, when I talked about Erye’s tattoos with my grandfather, my grandfather scolded Erye at that time, saying that he was like a bastard, a day of ignorance and incompetence.I don't know why grandpa is so angry, so I stopped asking.

In the Northeast, tattoos are very common. Due to factors such as regional culture, many Northeast people's understanding of tattoos stays in the mixed society.But to really trace the origin of tattoos, it has a really long history.

Tattoos are commonly known as tattoos, and are called nirvana in ancient Chinese. They are used to depict an ideal picture on a person's monotonous skin, becoming an eternity in life, and retaining memories as the most beautiful pictures in life.Everyone has a different understanding of tattoos, so there is no need to kill them all.

But as to whether tattoos can ward off evil spirits, I really don't know. I just heard that tattoos are particular about dragons, winds, and Guan Erye.

"Do you think tattoos can really ward off evil spirits?" After leaving the cafeteria, I was still chasing after Jiang Shan and asked.

"Yes, it just depends on who got the tattoo."

"That makes sense, who got your tattoo?" Jiang Shan looks only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she has so many tattoos on her body. Doesn't this affect her official career? It's hard to get through, but think about it, we go to the same school, so we don't have to think about it.

"My mother tattooed it for me."

Fuck!This mother is so unreliable, she can kill her own flesh and blood.I wanted to continue asking, but suddenly there was a lot of excitement behind me.

"It seems to be over there in the old building, let's go and see the excitement." Jiang Shan turned around and trotted all the way after saying that, saying that it is a fine tradition of Chinese people to like to watch excitement.

"It seems that another one died!"

"Where are they? Male or female?"

"Female, I heard that she looks quite good-looking."

The front of the old building was crowded with people, and the woods were completely surrounded. Police cars and ambulances had already arrived.Jiang Shan and I stood behind, listening to the discussions of passers-by.I looked at her, and she was also looking at me in surprise.

"You said you saw a figure in red this morning, right?" Jiang Shan said with a little worry in her tone.

"Yeah, you still said no, believe me this time."

"It's not a question of whether I believe it or not. The main thing is that we should get rid of all the grievances inside! If there are any more, then..." Jiang Shan said, she fell into deep thought, as if thinking about it. Various connections in it.

I hurriedly asked: "Jiang Shan, do you think we may have missed something?" She didn't express her position, just stood there without saying a word.

"Dad, answer the phone, Dad answered the phone, you answer the phone quickly."

When Jiang Shan heard the ringtone of my mobile phone, she gave me a vicious look. I took out my mobile phone and looked at it with a smile. It was Zhang Ling who called.

"Ah, Ling, what's the matter, do you miss me?" I don't know what's going on, but when talking to Zhang Ling, she can always let go, and she doesn't get angry.Even if she gets angry, she can just pinch me, at least I can enjoy my mouth when I'm on the phone.

"Are you looking for smokes! My brother and I came back, and he said he wanted to have dinner with you."

"If you want to find me, just tell me. You still use your brother as a shield." I haven't seen Zhang Ling for a long time. The last time I saw her, her hair had grown quite long. This time I think she can It looks like a girl.

"Okay, stop babbling, it's BBQ City!" Before I could answer, she hung up the phone.

I thought, if the matter of the old building is not over yet, maybe Zhang Feng can help, so I quickly told Jiang Shan my thoughts, and she agreed, after all, there are many people and strength.

"Well, let's go together and let you meet my senior brother and see if he can do anything." I don't know what's going on with Lao Bao, and the school won't make any statement.I thought I'd wait until tomorrow to find out.

When Jiang Shan and I arrived at the restaurant, they had already started eating. Zhang Ling kept complaining that the taste was not as good as before.After introducing each other, they took their seats.

I briefly told Zhang Feng what happened last night, and he was not very shocked by the incident itself.Just looking at Jiang Shan's eyes, showing a kind of admiration.

"Thirteen, don't care about these things anymore. After all, you have just entered the Tao. Don't blindly pursue the external improvement. You should cultivate your character first."

What Zhang Feng said is quite reasonable. It may be the reason why Jiang Shan suddenly appeared beside me, which put me under too much pressure. In addition, I am a bit masculine.

"You said you saw a small black door?" Zhang Ling said while eating.

"Why? Sister Ling is also interested?"

"Call me old girl, I'm younger than you." I've known her for so long, and I really don't know who we are older and who is younger.I'm in my early twenties, I haven't even grown a beard, and I always thought I was eighteen or nineteen.But you can't blame me, whoever put me in a coma lasted for a year.As the saying goes, you can't do things well if you don't talk about it.

"You two pinch each other as soon as you meet, can you play happily?" Zhang Feng said with a smile on the side, trying hard to pat the cucumber on the plate with the chopsticks.

Seeing him struggling so much, he couldn't help asking: "Brother Feng, your body hasn't recovered yet?"

"It's a yin thing, it's really a life-saving thing. I don't think I can live in the yin anymore. I haven't been able to do it well since I came back last time." As soon as Zhang Feng finished speaking, Jiang Shan took out a small ball from nowhere. Pass it to Zhang Feng.

I took a closer look and saw that it was not a ball of flesh, but a small curled-up insect. The body was beige and should have been dried.

"Brother Feng, this is the Gu worm made by my mother. Eating it can clear the meridian and activate collaterals. It is reasonable to eat it when passing the yin, but it should be useful if you eat it now." Jiang Shan opened her mouth, Zhang Feng and Zhang Lingdu was stunned for a moment, maybe she was thinking about how the little girl looked so cute, why she smoked two catties of tobacco with one mouthful.

"Brother Feng, you have to think about it before eating." I said to Zhang Feng.

"It's okay, I know a little bit about these things. The ghost masters in the Miao nationality can not only pass through the shadows freely, but also rumors that there is a Gu technique that can enhance the strength of the soul. It should not be fake. I have learned a lot today." After speaking, he put the bug in his mouth and swallowed it.

In fact, I don’t know, it’s okay, it’s like eating a peanut.But if you know that this is eating bugs, it's still a little bit different.

"By the way, when you came here just now, I didn't think it was that simple when you talked about the old building. But I'm not in good health now, so I can't help you, but I can help you materially. Tomorrow I will let you Ling will give you some talismans." Zhang Feng poured beer into his stomach as he said, as if the insect he swallowed just now was alive, I could feel that he said nothing was wrong, but he was already panicking in his heart.

It wouldn't be a good thing to have enough weapons.

The conversation changed and he told Zhang Feng about Qi refining that he suddenly learned yesterday.But he acted very surprised and kept saying things like it was impossible.He also said that even Master couldn't learn Qi refining, so how could I suddenly learn it.

Speaking of qi refining, everyone is different.By absorbing the power of nature, the essence of the body can be improved.The mental method is just an auxiliary thing, dispensable, but if you really want to learn to refine qi, you must not only have inner peace, but also learn to perceive nature.

"If you really know how to refine qi yourself, then your current ability should be higher than mine. Have you ever tried to draw a talisman again while refining qi?" After listening to Zhang Feng's words, I shook my head and said that today I slept all day and did nothing but eat.

"Waiter, please get a pen!"

"Will the marker pen work?"

"can."

Zhang Feng wanted to pass the pen, so he spread out a napkin and asked me to try to draw a talisman on it. I thought to myself, isn't it easy to draw a talisman?

"Wait, you draw a Thunder Qilin rune."

"What?" I have never heard of it, how to draw.

"Come on, let me tell you, you can try to draw one as I said."

The head of the talisman is thunder, and the thunder department is the righteous god. The decree: the first turn is heaven and earth, and the second turn is ghosts and gods.I followed what Zhang Feng said on the paper, brushed the dots, and recited the mantra.After drawing the belly of the talisman, the most important talisman is the gallbladder, the four justices, and the feet of the evil talisman.

I have already memorized the book that the master gave me by heart, so it is not very difficult to draw.But this talisman is different from any talisman drawn before, not to mention the degree of complexity, its fierceness can be regarded as the flat-headed brother in the world of talismans.

"Brother Feng, this talisman, can you see if the drawing is correct?" I showed him the drawn "Lei Qilin Rune".

"The drawing is correct, but whether it works or not, only you can know." After that, he returned the amulet to me and asked me to see if I could see anything.

I picked up the talisman and looked left and right. I didn't see any difference, and suddenly I thought of trying my luck.I closed my eyes and felt calm. Within a few seconds, I felt a warm current flowing around my body. It wasn't that kind of chaotic feeling, but just letting nature take its course.Just like fish can swim, birds can fly.

I quickly opened my eyes and found that the talisman in my hand seemed to be different.The pattern on it seems to have a soul, emitting blue light.

"Hey, what did you see?" I said to Jiang Shan beside me, she shook her head to show that she didn't see anything.

"This is an advanced spell. Even if you face a few or even dozens of unjust souls, you can instantly kill them. It is equivalent to the power of an atomic bomb." Zhang Feng said seriously, and I opened my mouth in surprise. Did you think that you can now use such a powerful spell?

"Don't be too happy too early. Only the 'Lei Qilin Rune' written in the fourth month of the lunar calendar is useful every year. Writing it in another month will lead to disaster. Remember to write more when you go back."

"Also, don't use yellow paper to write lethal talismans in the future. Try to write on red paper. Although the power is not as good as yellow paper, it won't work well in the underworld." Jiang Shan added.

"Then why did the charm work so well last night?"

"We were not in the underworld at all last night. It's a bit like a singularity in two dimensions. It's neither black nor white, neither yin nor yang." I thought about it and it seemed right. When it's bright, it's not possible unless it's in hell.

"It's getting late, you go back and draw more symbols in case of emergencies, and the two of us will go back first."

Jiang Shan didn't say a few words throughout the meal. To be honest, I haven't known her for two days, so I don't know what kind of person she is.

Although it looks easy to get along with in appearance, in actual communication, it is not very easy to communicate.I always feel that there is something on her mind hidden in her big watery eyes.Just like her voice, vicissitudes, intriguing.

When I got back to the dormitory, my uncle was almost locked out, so I let me in anyway.Only Sun Hao was awake in the dormitory, and Zhou Peng had already returned from the hospital and was snoring on the bed.

"Where's Zhao Bo?" I looked around and found that Zhao Bo was gone.

"I don't know. I sent Zhou Peng back and went out. I didn't ask him." Sun Hao was fiddling with his mobile phone. He heard that he seemed to have a girlfriend, and he never left his mobile phone every day.

"Then he didn't say anything when he left?" I took off my clothes while rummaging through the suitcase, trying to take out the red paper I brought earlier to draw symbols on.

"I remember hearing him say that his grandfather was looking for him or something, but I didn't hear it clearly."

"What? His grandfather died years ago!"
