Every day is one step closer to reality

There are not many people in the infield, and even fewer people come here to draw the characters, unlike the long queues in the outfield where children draw the character "王".

Even if the queue is not long, this talisman is not as fast as writing the word "王" directly. In addition, some people will make additional requirements, which will take more time.

However, the people sitting in line here also have this time, or maybe they just have some free time like Lu Yue.

There was a person in front of the row who knew Lu Yue and they chatted for a while.

While chatting with Lu Yue, the man glanced at Feng Yi from time to time.

"Mr. Lu is bringing relatives here to play?"

"No, a friend, a junior who graduated from the same school." Lu Yue said.

Feng Yi was wearing a mask. The man didn't recognize him directly, but he always felt that Feng Yi looked familiar, and wanted to test a few more words. It was his turn earlier, so he immediately gathered his thoughts and focused on those talismans. .

The people in front entered the small room, and Lu Yue and Feng Yi moved a seat forward.

It's their turn next.

Lu Yue told Feng Yi: "I changed into a short-sleeved T-shirt specifically to make it easier to draw symbols!"

Feng Yi smiled and said, "Do you still believe this?"

Lu Yue paused for a moment, "Tsk, how can I say this? I don't believe it in other matters, but we business people have more or less spiritual sustenance in this regard. Isn't that just how people are? Everything is different. You have to find a reason.”

Feng Yi: "I understand. Selective superstition."

Lu Yue laughed and did not refute. Anyway, he was not the only one who did this. There were many people who had this kind of "spiritual sustenance".

Without continuing the topic, Lu Yue said instead: "I think people like you who often come into contact with snakes can actually try to get rid of the smell of snakes on your body.

"This master of drawing talismans is still somewhat famous in our Rongcheng business district. The Chamber of Commerce finally invited him this time. Come on, draw one and I'll treat you!"

Drawing symbols here is not free, you have to pay. Different talismans have different prices.

There are some symbols that have already been drawn. If not, just draw one on site, depending on the customer's needs.

"Whatever needs you have and what kind of effects you want, tell the master and he will help you choose the most suitable one."

Lu Yue gave Feng Yi advice, "If you often come into contact with venomous snakes, it's better to find someone who can remove poisons, dispel pestilence and stop evil."

Feng Yi was silent.

Is this kind of "spiritual sustenance" put aside for now? When buying a charm, just think of choosing a decorative pendant. When choosing a pendant, don't you also have to choose a color and shape that you like?

But forget about "detoxification" or anything like that.

The poison cannot be removed, it is a small treasury!

Just seek good luck and avoid bad luck.

Feng Yi thought about it and asked, "Are you going to paint it directly on your arm?"

Lu Yue: "Yeah, I will also buy a few talismans drawn on the talisman paper. But I want to draw one on my arm. Hey, I tell you, you must draw one on your hand, either on the back of your hand or on your arm. I know you don’t believe this, but the Dragon Boat Festival is a bit of a ritual, and all the kids outside draw the word ‘王’ on their foreheads. Otherwise, it’s just a one-time tattoo, which is pretty cool.”

During the chat, the person in front of him had already finished drawing, but that person's main purpose was to buy the talisman drawn on the talisman paper, and he just ceremonially dabbed his palm with the realgar wine used to draw the talisman.

Before leaving, the man greeted Lu Yue: "Let's go first. Mr. Lu, please invite me."

His eyes swept over Feng Yi's face again, with some confusion, as if he had thought of something but was not sure.

Lu Yue walked to the small single room separated in front and called Feng Yi to join him.

Anyway, there was nothing he needed to keep secret about drawing the talisman here. It happened that Feng Yi didn't understand this, so he would demonstrate it in front of him.

Feng Yi looked at this small single room.

The venue was temporarily separated to protect the privacy of the guests to a certain extent.

It is not completely closed. People queuing up outside can see the Taoist priests painting the charms, but they cannot see the guests inside.

There was a strong smell of alcohol all around.

The wine used to draw the symbols contains realgar and other ingredients, making the color darker.

To Feng Yi, the smell was a bit pungent.

There is no way, the bad thing about being too sensitive is that others may not be able to smell it, or it may not have much impact, but you can accurately capture the odor molecules.

However, after smelling it for a long time, it seems to have developed some resistance, and it is not as pungent as it was at first.

At least I don't have the urge to sneeze continuously, and I can analyze the components of the smell.

The Taoist priest who painted the talisman had a kind face and polite words, and did not have the arrogance of a "master".

And Feng Yi could tell from the emotional information he exuded that this person was also very peaceful in his heart and was not pretending.

There is no impatience in the face of so many visitors.

Come to think of it, if he was really bad-tempered, the organizer wouldn't invite him here.

The Taoist priest recognized Lu Yue. Although he didn't exchange much verbal greetings, looking at their brief eye contact and looking at the emotional information on their bodies, Feng Yi was sure——

Lu Yue is definitely this old customer!

The Taoist priest also recognized Feng Yi, with a hint of surprise on his face, then smiled slightly and nodded slightly.

It's not that he is really powerful. He looks through the phenomenon to the essence and sees Feng Yi's true form.

In fact, it was because, with his skill in drawing talismans, he got to know many well-known and well-known people in Rongcheng. After Feng Yi became famous on the Internet, Feng Yi was mentioned many times in the upper circles of Rongcheng. Those of them who are well-informed due to their business will certainly know about Feng Yi.

Lu Yue sat down, first selected the talisman he wanted to buy, and then had a brief conversation with the Taoist priest to determine the talisman he wanted to draw on his arm.

For this rune, Lu Yue even washed his arms before coming here.

The Taoist priest drew the talisman on Lu Yue's forearm. He became proficient in drawing many talismans, and it didn't take much time.

Lu Yue smiled and showed it to Feng Yi, "This is how you draw it. It's a bit itchy, but I think I can bear it. Look, arm painting!"

It does have an artistic feel when painted on the arm.

"Come on, you can try it too." Lu Yue stood up from his seat and motioned for Feng Yi to come over.

At this time, Feng Yi no longer hesitated, walked over and sat down, stretched out his arm, and asked the Taoist priest to draw a common peace charm for him.

The Taoist painting went smoothly.

It was so successful that the Taoist priest himself was deeply surprised.

His drawing skills are proficient and there are no mistakes in drawing. It's just that sometimes, the skin and muscles on a person's arms tremble, causing slight deviations when writing.

After all, human skin is not flat paper, the touch is different, and there are many influencing factors when drawing symbols.

Just like Lu Yue just now, when the pen fell on Lu Yue's arm, Lu Yue felt itchy. Although the movement was not obvious and could not be seen after drawing, as a person who drew the talisman, the Taoist Master knew the slight deviation. of.

But when I drew the talisman for Feng Yi, I drew it very smoothly.

So smooth!

It's like it's not affected by the brush strokes at all. Every muscle, skin, and even every hair is so docile and secure...

Like fake!

This briefly reminded the Taoist Master of the time he used to practice drawing talismans on people, using a dummy to practice. Drawing symbols on the dummy's arms is like this, a similar feeling.

There will be no interference and a stable batch will be obtained.

There are no unnecessary breaks or twists when writing, and there is no deviation in the curvature of the runes!

Simply perfect!

so perfect!

This is the most perfect talisman he has drawn so far today!

He even wanted to take a photo with his phone as a souvenir!

If he wasn't worried that the guests would be offended, he would even want to reach out and pinch it: How is this arm so long, and why can such a perfect symbol be drawn on it!

Alas, I don’t know when I will have to wait until next time to draw such a perfect talisman again...

The Taoist priest looked more and more kind to Feng Yi.

Feng Yi, who saw the sudden fluctuation in Taoist Master's emotional information:? ? ?

What's wrong with this Taoist priest?

Why are you looking at me like that?

No matter what, the talisman is finished.

Lu Yue came over to take a look and couldn't help but said, "Why, do you always feel that the talisman on your arm looks better than mine?"

The Taoist priest next to him just smiled silently.

That's what Lu Yue said.

The talisman he chose was different from Feng Yi's, and the painting methods were also different. Could this be the reason?

Putting aside the subtle imbalance in his heart, Lu Yue asked Feng Yi: "What do you think? Is it good?"

"Yeah." Feng Yi thought to himself, but it smelled a bit unpleasant.

Others, I feel nothing.

Even looking at the talisman paintings on his arms, Feng Yi felt a strange sense of pride in his heart.

Look!

Not only do I use realgar wine to draw talismans, I also use Fa Haibo to eat!

Feng Yi bought a few more talismans drawn on paper. Lu Yue wanted to help him pay, but he refused.

Feng Yi planned to give these talismans to the housekeeper and Xiao Jia.

Without this kind of "spiritual sustenance", it might as well be a decoration with festive elements.

Coming out of the cubicle, Lu Yue said to Feng Yi in a somewhat excited mood:

"The smell of realgar is not very good, but it is worth it for today. I feel like I am not close to insects and snakes now!"

Feng Yi paused and then explained: "Realgar has an impact on snakes, but it's not as great as the legend says."

Lu Yue didn't care, "It doesn't matter, it can repel mosquitoes! Anyway, I don't usually encounter snakes."

There were so many snakes in the places he usually went.

Mosquitoes are quite common.

This is what the ancients said, the fifth month of the lunar calendar is the period when insects and snakes are active.

Lu Yue took Feng Yi around the infield of the event and told Feng Yi the time and location of the auction.

Feng Yi asked: "Is there any dress code for the charity auction?"

Lu Yue thought for a moment and shook his head, "There are no hard and fast rules. This is not a usual business cocktail party. This time it is a holiday event, so the requirements are more relaxed. I heard that some people even wear ancient costumes.

"Wear whatever you want, but if you care about this, you can be a little more formal. If you don't care, you can wear a T-shirt. But I suggest changing to a long-sleeved shirt or wearing a jacket. The auction will be indoors. If the air conditioning is sufficient, it will be a bit cold, so don’t catch a cold.”

Lu Yue still thought that Feng Yi sneezed because he caught a cold or had allergies or something. Thinking about it, he didn't seem to hear Feng Yi sneezing again after that.

"Do you have a place to rest?" Lu Yue asked, "Our company has rented a hotel suite nearby. Employees in the exhibition area can rest there. I will go there later. There is a rest room over there. You can also go there. Lie down for a while."

"No, I have arrangements." Feng Yi said.

"Okay." Lu Yue knew that Feng Yi didn't need the money, so there was no need to book a hotel room for him.

Lu Yue asked someone to send over two pieces of information and handed them to Feng Yi.

"This is what I have found. So far, it is something that will be auctioned. If you are interested, you can be prepared to take action."

"The one below is the copper coin that Mr. Fu is going to put up for auction. I asked a friend that the copper coin alone is worth at least one million. However, in an auction of this nature, the auction price is ultimately It may increase 5 to 10 times, you have an idea.”

"It's about making a contribution to charity, but you also know. Most people use this kind of auction to gain favors, increase their worth, or enter a certain circle."

"The Fu family is also a wealthy family in Rongcheng. Mr. Fu's status here is similar to your grandfather's status in Yangcheng. There are many people who want to show their face in front of him."

Lu Yue has a business dinner later, unlike Feng Yi who can hang out at the venue. You have to go back and change clothes first to block the runes on your arms.

After a few reminders from Feng Yi, Lu Yue left in a hurry.

Feng Yi came to the parking lot with the information.

The car that was driven out was a lengthened and modified version. The space inside is large enough and can be used as a short resting place.

Of course this is just for ordinary people. For Feng Yi, this was only suitable for a short rest in mimicry.

Nearby hotels are not considered as they are unsafe.

It can't be transformed into its original form anyway, so it's better to just sleep in the car.

Xiao A is already waiting in the parking lot.

Feng Yi opened the bag containing the talisman in his hand and took out one for Xiao Jia.

Xiao Jia looked at the talisman in front of him.

Feng Yi: "It was drawn by a Taoist priest at the Cultural and Art Festival. It's a peace charm. It can be used as a pendant."

Xiao Jia took it and heard Feng Yi say:

"I bought several, including ones to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters. They were painted with realgar wine and have a bit of a smell."

Xiaojia: "?!"

He looked at the talisman in his hand.

Feng Yi's voice was heard in my ears: "Let's go to the restaurant on the corner for a while. It has good reviews online..."

Xiao Jia looked at Feng Yi who was thinking about where to eat, and then looked at the talisman in his hand.

My heart suddenly felt at ease.

Before going to look for food, Feng Yi asked Xiao Jia to stay outside the car while he wanted to take a short rest.

Xiao Jia didn't ask any questions and dutifully stayed outside the car.

In the car, Feng Yi stretched out his arm.

Although after smelling it for a long time, I have become resistant to realgar and other odors, and the pungency is no longer so strong, but I am not very happy to smell it all the time.

Feng Yi's pupils suddenly shrank into vertical lines.

A layer of scales appeared on the arm painted with runes.

And as these scales emerge, it seems that there is an invisible force that disintegrates all the remaining substances originally attached to the surface of the arm!

The runes painted on his arms also disappeared.

In an instant, it disappeared completely.

In addition to the smell of alcohol and other miscellaneous smells carried by the clothes, Feng Yi could no longer smell the smell of realgar wine on his body.

Due to the switching of states, even if it does not completely transform into its original shape, the body will still change to some extent.

For example, weight.

Xiao Jia, who was watching outside, discovered that the four wheels of the car suddenly deflated downwards, as if they were suddenly hit by gravity.

Then it returned to its original state.
