Chapter 69: Drawing Talismans, Bones
Jiang Zhou returned to Sujingsi and opened the bag given to him by Yan Xiaowu.
A faint smell of rot emanated...
Several pieces of leather were neatly stacked.
The color is gray-brown, with a hint of paleness.
It is thinner than paper and light-transmitting.
Jiang Zhou swallowed a little uncomfortably and reached out to touch it.
Soft and elastic.
I don’t know how those veterans in the torture chamber managed to make such thin and fragile human skin extremely tough.
Jiang Zhou felt that his painting style was slowly going astray.
As a disciple of the dignified old ancestor of Sanxing Cave in Fangcun Mountain, his painting style should be elegant and graceful, with a fairy-like demeanor, and his every move should be filled with aura and a fairy-like air.
Jiang Zhou complained as he unfolded several human skins.
There were a total of five pieces of leather, each more than a foot long and wide, and I didn't know how many people they were taken from.
He had already prepared all the things needed to make the talisman long ago.
Take out the tools and cut the human skin into pieces about three fingers wide and palm long.
He also took out the Ghost Immortal Cinnabar which was made from materials containing the five elements, such as blood evil stone powder, gold powder, peach wood chips, incense ash, and mercury paste.
He gritted his teeth and slashed his wrist with a dagger.
The blood flowed into the bowl containing cinnabar.
The masculine energy and blood merged into it, and the dark red ghost fairy cinnabar suddenly turned bright red.
The blood-killing stone powder has a negative nature. The blood of a living person is rich in yang energy, and his qi and blood are even more masculine.
With both yin and yang, and the addition of mercury paste that can harmonize all properties, the five elements can be integrated and become the ghost fairy cinnabar ink needed for ghost painting talismans.
At this point, the talisman pens, talisman paper, talisman ink, and seals needed for calligraphy and painting talismans are finally complete.
It is said that with the essence of the Tao and the ink of the cloth, and the essence of things, one can eliminate evil and falsehood, assist the true and righteous, summon all spirits, control life and death, maintain disasters, and calm the five directions.
Jiang Zhou spread a piece of human skin talisman paper on the table, held the talisman pen in his hand, and meditated quietly, reciting the "Black Law Spirit Book" silently over and over again.
Writing talismans is extremely energy-consuming.
The cloud-sewn heavenly book draws the Qi of the Three Origins, Five Virtues and Eight Assemblies, and writes the great method of talismans.
The first thing is to connect the eight clouds of qi between heaven and earth with spiritual thoughts.
Although Jiang Zhou now has magical powers and skills, they are too low. He is still far from being able to capture the Eight Qi from the vast heaven and earth and the vast universe.
It is necessary to use talisman ink containing the nature of the five elements, rely on the power of the "Black Law Spirit Book", and connect the power of the sun, moon and stars to have a chance of success.
After reciting the black law silently again and again, Jiang Zhou slowly felt some differences.
Faintly, there was water of three lights falling from the sky and turning into clouds.
Pulled by an inexplicable force, the talisman pen gathered in his hand.
Jiang Zhou's spirits lifted, and he had already written on the human skin paper.
The pen moves like a dragon and the phoenix dances like a beautiful poem, without stopping for a moment.
The art of writing talismans requires that pen strength, shape, spirit, and intention should all be coordinated together. It should be completed in one stroke and never be paused.
The mind and the pen move together, the Qi and the pen move together, without interruption.
In a trance, the mind and spirit are in harmony, as if following an order, without any hesitation.
The talisman is divided into a talisman base, a talisman foot, and a talisman orifice.
In a moment, a talisman was almost completed.
Jiang Zhou remained focused and did not dare to be distracted in the slightest.
There is a clear statement in the talisman technique that if you don’t know the trick to drawing a talisman, you will make the ghosts and gods laugh. If you know the trick to drawing a talisman, you will make the ghosts and gods scream.
This talisman orifice is the highlight of a talisman.
It sounds mysterious, but it is very simple as long as you know the trick.
The most important part is where you end your writing.
When writing talismans, the directions of starting and ending the strokes are very important.
Putting pen to paper is the key to drawing in Qi.
The effects of talismans will be different depending on the way the strokes are ended.
Ghostly talismans are mostly curses and killing talismans. This type of talismans are used to kill and injure, and the end of the stroke must be towards the Gen position.
Jiang Zhou's brush tip turns lightly, like a knife blade slashing at an angle, and the painting is completed in one stroke, and he stops writing.
There was a fleeting flash of blood on the human skin.
Jiang Zhou took out the Jiuquan Command Talisman, dipped it in Ghost Immortal Ink, and solemnly covered it.
The printed black law spiritual book glowed faintly with red light, and then gradually disappeared.
In the end, even the words disappeared completely, as if they were hidden under the talisman.
Jiang Zhou was delighted, and his highly tense mind finally relaxed.
It succeeded at the first try!
"I am indeed a gifted person..."
Jiang Zhou picked up the talisman with a smile on his face.
This is a Yin Lei Talisman.
Yin thunder specifically strikes people's souls.
It can cause a living person to lose his soul. In mild cases, his spirit will be shaken , while in severe cases, his soul will fly away and die silently.
If the dead person is touched, his soul will be scattered.
Very vicious.
"Draw more while the luck is still there."
Jiang Zhou happily picked up the pen and dipped it in ink again.
Not only the Yin Lei Talisman, but also the Corpse Worm Curse and the Corpse-Driving Talisman should be prepared.
But his thought was very nice and soon he couldn't laugh anymore.
With his limited skills and experience, calligraphy, painting, and talismans could not be 100% successful, even with the methods granted by the ghost and god atlas.
Jiang Zhou was unwilling to give up. For several days, except for reporting for work, he plunged into the room and fought with the talisman.
…
On this day, when Jiang Zhou was busy and overwhelmed.
In the wing room at the backyard of Boguzhai.
Wu Youzhang was sitting at the table, sighing.
Next to him, there was a graceful woman in red, removing her makeup in front of a bronze mirror.
"My dear, you have been so depressed and sighing these past few days. What's the reason?"
"But is there anything that is troubling you, my lord?"
The woman's voice was as crisp as a bell. When she turned around, she turned out to be a very charming and beautiful woman, rarely seen in the world.
Wu Youzhang sighed, "Madam, didn't I tell you that I heard a good story a few days ago, but the man refused to sell it to me. I can't find him these days, and I can't even find the next chapter."
"You know, this is the best way for me. If I hear good articles, legends, and strange aspirations, I will be unable to control myself, and I will lose my appetite and sleep ."
"I heard that there were two articles, one poem and one essay, published in the Yanbo Tower. I have been lingering in the Yanbo Tower every day. Although some copies have been circulated, I still wish I could move the pillars in the tower back."
"It's a pity that Chen Santong is not an easy person to get along with. I don't know who the person who wrote the poems and essays is. Alas..."
"Oh? Just for this?"
After hearing this, the stunning woman gently picked up a small red flower and put it in her hair. She looked in the mirror before turning back.
She lightly covered her lips, smiled sweetly, and trembled slightly, revealing her charming face.
Wu Youzhang's eyes widened.
The woman glanced at him, her eyes full of charm: "My dear, do you know where that man came from?"
Wu Youzhang thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know, but judging from his clothes that day, he looked like a messenger from the Sujing Division. He is not easy to provoke. I have been trying to use any tricks all day but there is nowhere to go."
"My dear, you are really confused. He is just a messenger. What does it matter if he is from the Sujing Division?"
Wu Youzhang was stunned for a moment, then said seriously: "Madam, that is the Sujing Division, how can we ordinary people offend them?"
"If my dear husband wants it, I will do everything I can to get it for him."
The woman smiled slightly: "You don't need to worry about this matter, my dear. I will take care of it. Just relax."
"This... okay, but Madam, please don't do anything rash."
Wu Youzhang was a little hesitant, not wanting to get into the kind of trouble that Su Jingsi had, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation of his favorite thing.
"My dear, it's late, go to bed."
"good……"
Wu Youzhang leaned over and hugged the woman as she moaned.
In the darkness of the night, the dim candlelight danced on the candlestick.
The bronze mirror next to it vaguely reflected two shadows on the bed.
One is the outline of Wu Youzhang, the other, his red clothes half-removed, revealing his white bones, and a gorgeous red flower falling on the pillow, making it even more glaring...
