Taoism on the tip of the tongue

Today was the weekend, and there were many people in the shopping mall. As soon as Gu Changsheng arrived at the door, he saw the crowded crowd inside.He immediately gave up the idea of ​​going in: Why don't we buy gifts in another place, since I haven't decided what to buy anyway.

"Qianqian, do you think it's better for me to buy a watch or something else? Or just give me a car?" Two stylishly dressed young women passed by Gu Changsheng arm in arm.The taller girl asked the shorter girl.

The girl named Qianqian also seemed a little confused when she heard the words. After thinking for a while, she said, "You seem to have given me the watch the year before last, and the car too, right? I remember when your cousin was born, you gave me the watch His coming-of-age gift is a sports car. It would be boring to give it again and again. With so many cars, can your cousin drive it? And to be honest, with your family background, your cousin does not lack these luxuries."

"I understand the truth, but I just can't think of what to give. I have given away everything I can." However, many of the luxury cars in my cousin's garage are indeed covered in dust.The tall girl lamented: "Why do you think my cousin is a man? It would be great if she was a younger sister. Every year I can give her different cosmetics, skin care products and jewelry as birthday presents. There is no need to do so." Tangled."

Anyway, these things are updated very quickly, such as jewelry, bags, and even new products every season, so there is no need to worry about no gifts.It’s okay to give these every year, after all, just like a woman’s wardrobe will always lack a piece of clothing, a woman’s jewelry box will always lack a piece of jewelry.

But her cousin is a rough guy. Although he looks good, he doesn't even bother with the most basic skin care, let alone put on makeup like a star.Moreover, the jewelry that men can use is nothing more than tie clips, cufflinks, and brooches, and the range of choices is too narrow.

Hearing the tall girl's words, Qianqian showed sympathy.It is not only sympathetic to the best friend who has to worry about gifts every year, but also sympathetic to the younger brother of the best friend whose gender is complained by the best friend.

"Otherwise, why don't you give these away at all, and find another way to send a gift? I heard that your cousin is writing a book. Don't you have a publishing house under your command? You can help him publish new books." Qianqian had a sudden idea said.

"I've actually thought about this too. The problem is, my cousin hasn't published a new article yet, and his last book was very popular. When it was serialized, he had already signed and published it, and even sold the film and television. Now the crew is starting to form. No, I don't need it at all."

The two girls walked farther and farther away. After all, they were strangers. If they hadn't happened to mention birthday presents, Gu Changsheng would not have paid much attention.After listening to a few sentences, he didn't hear a suitable gift and couldn't use it as a reference, so Gu Changsheng withdrew his attention.

Seeing that the little disciple was really struggling, Jiang Shinian rubbed Gu Changsheng's head and said, "Why don't I draw a talisman for him?"

What does a kid from a rich family like Qian Huan want?There is no shortage of things at all.Instead of racking their brains and buying gifts they don't need, give them something they can use.And who doesn't need a life-saving good thing like a safety talisman?Who would think too much?

Grandpa can still draw talismans?

Only then did Gu Changsheng recall Jiang Shinian's other identity. How could it be possible that someone who was regarded by Taoism as the five gods of Shennong could not draw talismans.The talisman of Taoist Longhushan is very sought after by people in the upper circles, even if you have money, you can't buy it, and you often have to exchange it with favors.The talisman drawn by the patriarch himself is definitely better than the one drawn by the Taoist priest, and it is indeed very suitable to give as a gift.

Seeing that the birthday gift was settled, Gu Changsheng didn't bother to go shopping outside. After buying the materials needed for the talisman, he directly took the patriarch back to the hotel.

It is rare to draw talismans. Jiang Shinian not only drew peace talismans, but also drew talismans such as Vajra Talismans, both for attack and defense.Except for taking out a safe talisman as a birthday present, Jiang Shinian stuffed the rest into Gu Changsheng's silver ring: "Keep it for self-defense."

However, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him how to fish. There is no disadvantage in learning such a useful skill as drawing talismans.

Drawing a talisman is a very difficult task, and if you are not careful, it will be useless. Even if you succeed, the power may not meet expectations.Originally, there were not many warlocks in the Hua Kingdom, and among the warlocks, there were even fewer of them with the talent for drawing symbols.Many people who can draw talismans only know superficially, and there are very few masters, there are only one or two in the whole country.It is precisely because of this that, as one of them, the talisman drawn by Master Longhushan will be competed for.With Jiang Shinian's ability, of course there would be no waste paper in the drawn talismans, so after he finished drawing the talismans, there were still a lot of materials left.It was still early, so Jiang Shinian simply taught Gu Changsheng how to draw talismans.

The kitchen god is of the same vein and is very proficient in cooking.Even if it is a dish that has never been seen before, as long as you listen to it, you can figure it out.As talented as Gu Changsheng, although there is no way to be very similar, he can still copy eight or nine points.In terms of technique, Gu Changsheng can also be said to have become famous at a young age. In the industry, he was widely known in the industry when he only became a teacher in his teens.Now he is in his twenties, but his strength is higher than many warlocks in their 50s and [-]s.

Even under Gu's father's education, Gu Changsheng has never been proud of his talent, but he also knows that he definitely does not belong to the stupid type of person.

Gu Changsheng, who has always been a quick learner, found out that God is fair after he picked up the talisman pen.His talent points are probably all added to culinary arts and art skills, so that he has no talent in drawing symbols.

"Don't hesitate when writing, try to complete it in one go, so the possibility of becoming a talisman will be higher."

"Look here, the head of the talisman is not drawn like this. Move it to the side and don't draw it crookedly."

Jiang Shinian followed the instructions.

Obviously, he understood everything the patriarch said, and followed suit.But the waste talisman papers all over the floor were all grinning silently, mocking Gu Changsheng unscrupulously.

Would the patriarch think he was stupid?

When I needed talismans before, I always exchanged food with the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain, and I never did it myself.Gu Changsheng couldn't stop regretting it. He knew that when the head teacher at Longhu Mountain proposed to teach him, he should have followed suit.This is a bit of a foundation, and now I won't be ashamed in front of the patriarch.

Who doesn't want to look their best in front of their lover?Gu Changsheng was not immune either.

The hand holding the talisman pen was sweating slightly, and he couldn't always draw well. Gu Changsheng, who was always calm, couldn't help being a little impatient.

"Don't be nervous, relax and take your time." Jiang Shinian walked behind Gu Changsheng and half embraced him.There was a slight difference in height between the two of them. With this posture, Jiang Shinian's chin could just rest on Gu Changsheng's shoulder.

Suddenly being hugged by the patriarch, Gu Changsheng was taken aback for a moment, and before he could react, a warm hand covered his right hand that was holding the pen.

"This is the right way to write the talisman. The head of the talisman must be straight, the guts of the talisman should be just right, and the end of the talisman should not be prolonged." As he spoke, Jiang Shinian took Gu Changsheng to draw the entire talisman from beginning to end.

After closing the pen, there was a shimmer of light on the talisman paper, and then the brilliance was restrained.

This is it?

Gu Changsheng looked at the words on the talisman paper, but still couldn't figure out how to draw them.

"Try again." Practice makes perfect.Putting the drawn symbols aside, Jiang Shinian held Gu Changsheng's hand and began to draw the second and third ones.After drawing four or five pictures in a row, Gu Changsheng couldn't find the feeling. Gu Changsheng couldn't help frowning, looking at the talisman paper, feeling a little frustrated.

Self-confidence is almost blown away!

"Don't be in a daze, concentrate on it." Jiang Shinian's smiling voice sounded in Gu Changsheng's ears, and the heat from speaking reached Gu Changsheng's ears, and his fair ears were stained with rouge.

"Oh." Gu Changsheng, who didn't know why he was blushing at all, had a heartbeat like a drum. He was so depressed, like a Nian beast, and was driven out by the heartbeat like a firecracker.

Fearing that the patriarch would find out that something was wrong, Gu Changsheng hurriedly concentrated on drawing the talisman.After two hours of hard work, Gu Changsheng finally managed to remember how to draw the safe talisman.Jiang Shinian let go of his hand, took a step back, and asked Gu Changsheng to draw it himself.

Suddenly leaving the embrace of the patriarch, Gu Changsheng couldn't help feeling a little disappointed in his heart.But soon, he turned his attention to the talisman paper.Ning Xin calmly, after a while, a peace talisman slowly took shape from Gu Changsheng's pen.

"A low-grade safety talisman." Although the quality was mediocre, it did not fail anyway.Jiang Shinian commented that he has already fully recognized Gu Changsheng's talent for drawing talismans, and he is generally satisfied with the teaching results.

It is inferior.

Talismans are divided into three grades, upper, middle and lower, with the highest grade being the best and the lowest grade being the worst.Seeing that the patriarch was not disappointed, Gu Changsheng quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm here today, pack up, and it's time to go." Qian Huan's birthday party was held in the evening, and it was already almost five o'clock. If he didn't leave, he might be late.Hearing what the patriarch said, Gu Changsheng was like a scumbag student. He was relieved when he heard the teacher announce that get out of class was over.

He hurriedly changed his clothes, took gifts and rushed to Qian's house.Because of the delay in learning how to draw talismans, Gu Changsheng's original plan to cook Qian Huan a meal as a birthday present was aborted.There is no time to go shopping and cook again, and it is too late to choose gifts again.Gu Changsheng had no choice but to pick a piece of talisman paper that the patriarch prepared for him that could be used by ordinary people, and put it in the gift box as his birthday present.

Because it is not a full birthday, Qian Huan's birthday is not meant to be a big one.I just invited a few good friends to sit down with relatives who are close to my peers and simply celebrate.When Gu Changsheng and Jiang Shinian arrived, most of them had already arrived.

Seeing Jiang Shinian, Qian Huan, who had heard Gu Changsheng said in advance that he would bring friends over, was not surprised.Warmly greeted him, Qian Huan lightly punched Gu Changsheng on the shoulder, and complained: "It was agreed to come to Province C, and I'll be your tour guide. It turned out that you were lucky, you didn't say anything when you came early, and kept procrastinating." Come here on my birthday."

Qian Huan looked so funny that I was looking forward to it, but my sincerity was trampled on, and Gu Changsheng couldn't help laughing: "It's enough to hit me for a while, and if I hit you again, I'll skip the gift you gave me." Drop it." With that said, Gu Changsheng took the small gift box in his hand and shook it in front of Qian Huan.

"Birthday gifts can also be deducted? What you bring to me is mine!" Qian Huan stretched out his hand to grab it.Gu Changsheng was just joking, so the gift box was easily snatched by Qian Huan.

"Can I open it?" After seeing Gu Changsheng nodding, before Qian Huan had time to open the gift, he suddenly saw Gu Changsheng frowning.Of course, Qian Huan cared more about his friends than presents, so he quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"There's a cloud of evil moving this way, it's almost at the door, and it might be coming towards you or other people in the house." Qian Huan's birthday party was held in the living room of his own home.Except for the guests who came to the birthday party today, no one else will go this way.Even the guests invited by his parents are the same.The evil spirit's target was very clear. Gu Changsheng looked at Qian Huan and asked, "Who did you invite?"
