On the black study table, a green jade-like flat stone was pressing down on a long and narrow strip of yellow paper. Ye Kong held the brush in his hand, dipped it into the red cinnabar in the ink stone, and rubbed the tip of the brush.
He briefly recalled the drawing method of the Soul Lock Talisman. With confidence, he concentrated and quickly wrote on the yellow paper.
This kind of yellow paper talisman also had a fixed structure. It was divided into three sections: top, middle, and bottom. The top row was called the talisman head, which was composed of a row of small characters or pictures. It was like the primer of Chinese medicine, or the fuse of a bomb. The quality of the talisman head directly affected the duration of the talisman, and whether it would go off by accident, etc.
The bottom row was the talisman foot. It was not necessary, which meant that many talismans did not have talisman foot. In fact, it was easy to understand. For example, if a plane dropped a bomb, the bomb only cared about killing people or destroying things. It would not care about how you cleaned up the site and buried the body.
And the part with talisman foot, the talisman foot was basically the same. There were three hooks, which were the right and wrong hooks used by teachers to mark papers. The difference was that each hook had a circle drawn on it, and there was a dot in the middle, as if it had grown an eye. These three hooks represented the Samadhi True Fire.
And the most important thing in the middle was the talisman gallbladder. The talisman gallbladder was the main body of a talisman. It was like words, but not words, like drawing talismans, but not drawings. Whether a talisman was successful, and how effective it was, all depended on the talisman gallbladder.
Ye Kong's eyes were focused. He held the brush in his right hand, and the brush moved like it was flying. His wrist was flexible like a swimming dragon, and the tip of the brush moved back and forth on the narrow yellow paper. The writing of the talisman gallbladder was required to be done in one go, without the slightest pause.
Fortunately, he had already memorized every stroke of the Soul Lock Talisman in advance, so his writing was natural and smooth. He showed the strength of the brush, and took advantage of the elegant arc, and then suddenly retracted it. The tip of the brush was slender, like a blade, and instantly pulled down!
The red handwriting suddenly brightened, and then dimmed.
What was strange was that in that instant, the red ink turned silver, as if it was written with mercury.
The talisman was completed. At the moment when the last word lit up, Ye Kong clearly felt a faint flow of spiritual energy in the air above the talisman.
Obviously, the Yellow Paper Talisman also contained Spiritual Qi. It was not only Spiritual Talismans that contained Spiritual Qi. The Yellow Paper Talisman required very little Spiritual Qi. This was the reason why the Yellow Paper Talisman could be used on Earth while the Spiritual Talisman was ineffective.
With his first successful talisman, Ye Kong was overjoyed. He held the Soul Lock Talisman in his palm and carefully admired it.
"Draw another one." Ye Kong was prepared to follow up with another attack.
However, what made him depressed was that his good luck seemed to have run out. He continued to draw a few more talismans. Either the color of the talismans didn't change, or when the color changed, the spiritual energy suddenly became chaotic. The talismans turned into a ball of flames and burned into powder.
"Did he not take a shower and change his clothes?" Ye Kong was also a little confused, but how did the first picture succeed?
Let's change to another type of talisman.
He went to the Talisman Encyclopedia again and finally focused his eyes on the Hemostasis Talisman.
The Hemostasis Talisman's talisman core was relatively simple and didn't have talisman legs. When used, it could temporarily stop the bleeding by sticking it on the wound. However, the effect was relatively small and was inferior to ordinary Jinchuang Medicine. Therefore, very few people used it.
Soon, he drew a few more Hemostasis Talismans. The success rate of this talisman was much higher than the Soul Lock Talisman. He actually succeeded four times out of eight.
"It seems that drawing talismans also has a success rate. The more talismans I draw, the higher the success rate." Ye Kong summed up his experience and went to draw the Soul Lock Talisman.
"Kong 'er, it's time for dinner." Chen Jiuniang finished embroidering the second wife's items. Seeing that it was getting late, she hurriedly came out to urge Ye Kong to eat.
"Okay, I'm coming." Ye Kong succeeded in drawing another Soul Lock Talisman. He was very happy. He stuffed the talismans into his sleeves and followed his mother out.
The talisman was successfully drawn, but how was the effect? Was it really useful?
Ye Kong's doubts arose again. "No, I still have to try it out. I don't want it to be ineffective when I PK with others. Otherwise, I'll be laughed at."
When he walked to the kitchen, he saw a big dog at the entrance. It was a very fierce big yellow dog. It was raised by the fat woman in charge of the kitchen, Sister Ma.
Seeing this, Ye Kong had an idea. Sister Ma, this hateful woman, let me eat cold steamed buns. I'll let your dog taste the power of my talisman first!
"Yo, Eighth Young Master, why are you here for dinner? Don't you always eat luxuriously in the inner court?" Sister Ma said in a sarcastic tone.
After Sister Ma finished speaking, the servants who were eating laughed together.
Ye Kong laughed and replied, "Yes, I heard that there's a pig in the kitchen who bullies people too much. I wanted to see it for myself."
Sister Ma's face immediately changed. She said angrily, "You dare to scold me?"
"No, I scolded the pig, not you, Sister Ma. How could I dare to scold you?"
Sister Ma's face changed a few times. She also heard that this guy was not to be trifled with. If she continued to scold him, she would admit that she was a pig.
Ye Kong gave her a few spoonfuls of food. Although the amount was not enough, it was not too much. Ye Kong had something on his mind, so he was too lazy to argue with her. However, when he was eating, Grandma Hu's face was swollen and she kept looking at him with vicious eyes. He suddenly stared back at her, which scared her so much that she quickly lowered her head to eat.
"Mother, you can go back after eating. I need to go to the toilet." Ye Kong scared his mother away and sneaked back into the kitchen.
At this time, the sky was gradually darkening. Dinner time had already passed, and no one would come again. Ye Kong waited for a while until all the diners had left. Only when the sounds of cleaning up could be heard in the dining hall, did he start to move.
"Woof woof!" The yellow dog probably felt the danger. It barked nervously and looked at Ye Kong who was approaching.
"Hehe, go ahead and bark. The fat woman is busy." Ye Kong sneered.
He took out the Concentration Charm and quickly recited an obscure spell. He could already feel the spiritual power on the charm paper shaking in his palm.
"Woof woof!" The big yellow dog who usually bullied others was also scared. It barked twice and wanted to escape into the kitchen.
But how could Ye Kong let it go!
He approached quickly and struck like lightning!
"Pa!"
A long and narrow yellow paper was stuck on the head of the big yellow dog!
The dog did not even make a sound. Its legs turned to jelly and it fell to the ground. Only a pair of big eyes stared at Ye Kong who was walking towards him.
"Yeah! It works! " Ye Kong made a "V" pose and kicked the dog's belly. The big yellow dog was like a dead body, letting him kick it.
"Then let's look at the Hemostasis Charm." Ye Kong looked around and dragged the yellow dog to the back of the house. With the help of the light, he took out a small knife with the tip of a pen and made a slight cut on the dog's calf.
The knife flashed and blood immediately gushed out.
"Stop!" The spell of the Hemostasis Charm was extremely simple.
When the charm paper hit the yellow dog's wound, there was a loud bang and the bright red flame flashed and went out.
The Hemostasis Charm burned and disappeared without a trace. The wound on the yellow dog's leg also magically stopped bleeding.
Then Ye Kong raised his hand and removed the charm paper on the yellow dog's head. The Concentration Charm was a one-time use. Once it was removed, it immediately turned into a ball of flame and disappeared into the air.
On the other hand, Big Yellow quickly stood up and ran away. Only after running far away did he dare to turn his head back and roar at Ye Kong before disappearing without a trace.
With the success of the experiment, Ye Kong's confidence in the art of charms grew stronger. He was even looking forward to Grandma Hu's son coming to find him.
However, Grandma Hu's son was busy with a big case in the yamen today and did not come back. Ye Kong's wait was in vain.
To Ye Kong's disappointment, his original plan to go to the Lu family to see the dancing figurines was also in vain.
At night, it began to drizzle. In such a weather, there was no moonlight. Without moonlight, nothing could be seen. Therefore, Ye Kong had to sit cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate.
On rainy days, the water spiritual energy was especially active. Of course, the water spiritual energy was not water vapor. The sky was full of water, but the water spiritual energy only increased a little. However, it was more active and flowed faster. Naturally, it was absorbed more.
The Aura Sea of the first layer of the Refinement Stage was still very obscure. Spiritual auras of various attributes gathered inside and flowed slowly. They were like a ball of colorful, hazy porridge, or like the distant galaxy seen by the Hubble Telescope — brilliant, splendid, and mysterious!
The colors in the ball of air were mainly black of the water element and green of the wood element. The yellow element representing the earth element was the second. The red element of the fire element was like a thread pulled into a concentric circle by the other elements. The white element of the metal element was the least, which was so rare that it was hard to find a trace.
In fact, Ye Kong also had a way to supplement the fire element. Because he always practiced at night, the fire element was rare. In the future, if he had the opportunity to practice under the hot sun for a period of time, the fire element would naturally increase.
What troubled Ye Kong the most was, where could he find the metal element? The element couldn't be absorbed by a piece of metal. Where could the metal element come from in the air? If he went to the earth to absorb the exhaust of cars, he might find the metal element. In this Cangnan Continent, the metal element was really rare.
Digging someone else's mine? Unless you were tired of living. It seemed like he could only draw talismans in the future and sell them in exchange for a metal element white spirit stone to absorb.
Cultivating always felt that time passed very quickly. The rain outside the house was getting heavier and heavier. The light drizzle turned into a rainstorm. The water element was especially active, and Ye Kong was also very comfortable absorbing it. If a cultivator came at this moment, they would definitely be surprised to find that there was actually a huge whirlpool on top of Ye Kong's head. The black water element spiritual energy was constantly surging into his body.
This could only be seen by cultivators who were sensitive to spiritual energy. If a mortal came, they wouldn't be able to see the fluctuation of spiritual energy.
"Kong 'er," After an unknown amount of time, a call woke up Ye Kong who was absorbing the water element spiritual energy.
The person who came was Chen Jiuniang. She had already been informed by Ye Kong that he only needed to call out and wait for a moment to wake him up. No matter how urgent it was, he shouldn't push him. Otherwise, the circulation of the spiritual energy in his body would be obstructed and he would suffer a backlash.
If the backlash of spiritual energy was light, his meridians would be injured, and if serious, he would be possessed by the devil.
This was the reason why he would rather stay in the ancestral hall. No one would disturb him. But now that he came out, he could only take the risk to cultivate. Otherwise, what else could he do? Firstly, he couldn't abandon his mother. Secondly, he didn't know how to set up formations. He could only tell his mother to wait for a moment and not to disturb him if there was nothing important.
After sending the last wisp of spiritual energy into his Ocean of Aura, Ye Kong felt that he was much more practical. He opened his eyes. In the darkness, there was a bright light in his pupils.
"Mother, what's the matter? Could it be that Granny Hu's son came? "Ye Kong asked.
Seeing her son's bright eyes, Chen Jiuniang thought that young people should be like this when they were in good spirits. Without any doubt, she sat on the bedside and said, "Granny Hu's son didn't come, but Li Laosi came."
"Oh? What did he come for? Did he want to be hit by a brick again? "
Chen Jiuniang couldn't help but laugh. She said angrily, "You rascal, you only know how to hit a brick. Li Laosi came to report that someone was looking for you. It's not convenient to let them in at night, so he's waiting in the gatehouse."
"Someone is looking for me?" Ye Kong was stunned. It was the middle of the night, and it was raining heavily. Who would be looking for him?
"Then I'll go and take a look." Ye Kong touched the Soul-Locking Talisman in his sleeve. He picked up the black oil umbrella from the corner of the wall and walked out.
Behind him, his mother's concerned voice sounded, "Kong 'er, be more tolerant when you speak to others. Don't fight!"
Ye Kong smiled. "Don't worry. If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. I have a good temper. You should go back to your room. Don't catch a cold."
