The rainstorm was like a waterfall, covering the sky and covering the earth.
Ye Kong returned to the small courtyard dripping wet. Chen Jiuniang quickly brought dry clothes and towels to him while nagging, "Didn't you bring an umbrella? Why didn't you use it?"
Ye Kong replied, "I gave it to a friend."
He took the clothes and returned to his room. He took off his wet clothes and circulated the Five Elements Spiritual Qi throughout his body, drying his hair and body.
He changed into clean clothes and sat cross-legged on the bed. He was also thinking about how to deal with the experts ambushing the Lu family.
According to Lu Jun, these people were much more powerful than the hooligans in the afternoon. They were all truly skilled in martial arts, especially the leader of the Law Enforcement Hall, Li Wuda. He was a famous figure in the martial arts world a few years ago. Together with the other experts, it was basically impossible for Ye Kong to deal with them alone.
Actually, Ye Kong wanted to ask Centurion Liu Changqing to bring a few brothers to help, but he felt that it was inappropriate. When Ye Haoran left, he reminded him not to cause trouble, so Liu Changqing might not be willing to go.
Even if Liu Changqing went, he would have to expose his talisman techniques in front of him and the Ye family's soldiers. In the future, if he wanted to use talismans to harm someone in the Ye family, people would suspect him.
What should he do?
Ye Kong decided to see if there was anything in the talisman encyclopedia that could help him. Once again, his consciousness entered the bier.
He opened the golden book and looked back and forth, but there seemed to be only a few useful ones.
"Oh, that's right!" Ye Kong's eyes suddenly lit up.
Bright Eyes Talisman, this thing specialized in treating people's eye diseases. It was suitable for cataracts like Lu Jun's mother's disease.
Although he didn't find any useful talismans, he found useful talismans for Lu Jun. Ye Kong felt that this trip was not in vain, so he memorized the patterns of the Bright Eyes Talisman.
The Lu brothers were good people. In the future, they would definitely be his capable subordinates. It was important to win them over. Ye Kong immediately got off the bed, lit the oil lamp, and began to make Bright Eyes Talismans.
With the previous experience, Ye Kong was not in a hurry to make talismans on the yellow paper. Instead, he first practiced with waste paper for a while. When he was skilled, he picked up the brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and drew talismans on the yellow paper.
With the brush in his right hand, Ye Kong swung and twisted his wrist to the left. The tip of the brush was like a blade, leaving a red mark on the yellow paper.
In fact, the runes on the Talisman Core were related to Chinese characters. According to the books, these were the characters of immortals, but they were 80% similar to Chinese characters.
For example, the Bright Eyes Talisman had a figure representing the eyes on the top, and a word similar to the Chinese character for "close" at the bottom. Below that was the True Samadhi Fire.
As Ye Kong wrote, he suddenly thought, this Bright Sight Talisman should make people open their eyes. Why was it "closed"? Why not "open" or "open"?
The Bright Eyes Talisman should allow people to see things with their eyes open, so why was it a closed one?
When crafting a talisman, one had to be single-minded. With this moment of distraction, Ye Kong saw the Clear Sight Talisman that was almost completed instantly burn into a ball of flames and burn completely.
"My mind is distracted." Ye Kong smiled and put down the brush. He picked up the runes that he was experimenting with on the waste paper and carefully examined them.
"So that's how it is!"
After a brief observation, Ye Kong had a discovery.
It turned out that there were two strokes around the "closed" character. It was as if the outside of the "closed" character was covered with a trench coat, and these two strokes were extended from the eye-shaped figure on the top.
"Then the meaning of these two strokes … is to solve or to remove. Its purpose is to remove this closed state. Yes!" Ye Kong's eyes suddenly lit up. He was a little excited. He knew that he was starting to understand.
"If that's the case, why don't I use these two strokes when crafting talismans, or change the" closed "to" open "? … Then wouldn't the Bright Eyes Talisman become the Blind Eyes Talisman? "
These thoughts were like a bolt of lightning that illuminated his entire mind. He instantly understood a lot.
The beginning of the Talisman Art was just to draw the talisman, which was to copy it. However, no matter how similar the copy was, it could only draw the talisman that was already in the book.
Now that he had an epiphany, he had broken away from the initial enlightenment state and had begun to understand the meaning of the characters and symbols in the talisman. This would lay the foundation for him to create new talismans that weren't in the book in the future.
Then he thought, "What about the Stop Blood Talisman? What about the Stop Pain Talisman? If I change it like this, then it will become the Bleeding Talisman! The Aggravating Pain Talisman! Damn! I'm so f * cking great! "
Ye Kong jumped three feet high and began to immerse himself in crafting self-made attack talismans one after another.
After the heavy rain for a whole night, the sky slowly brightened up. Gradually, a magnificent morning glow appeared. When the morning glow was shattered by the golden sun, a new day in Cangnan Continent began.
"There's always a different morning glow every day. It seems that today is going to be a good day." Ye Kong stood at the door and gazed into the distance. Then, he revealed a heartfelt smile.
"Alright, Dragon Snake Gang, I'll let you be my first achievement in Cangnan Continent."
Ye Kong was very excited today. There was no reason for him not to be excited. He had already stepped into the door of Talisman Art. Not only did he create the talismans in the Encyclopedia of Talismans, but he also created talismans that weren't recorded in the book.
Although the success rate of self-made talismans was lower, he still succeeded, which meant that his understanding was correct and feasible.
What made Ye Kong even happier was that after absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy in the rain, he had unexpectedly opened a new page in the encyclopedia of talismans. And in this page, there was a new type of talisman that would greatly increase his strength.
"Mother, I'm going out to buy something. Give me a few more taels of silver." Ye Kong stuffed the talismans he made on the table into his sleeve and walked out.
"You want silver again? I'm saving it for your wife. "Chen Jiuniang muttered, but she still gave Ye Kong another ten taels of silver.
"A wife bought with money is unreliable." Ye Kong took the silver and walked out.
"Hey, eat breakfast before you go out," Chen Jiuniang shouted.
"I'll be back soon. I'll eat when I come back." While speaking, Ye Kong's figure had already disappeared at the door of the courtyard.
He went out early in the morning to buy yellow paper. After writing for so long last night, he had used up a hundred yellow paper strips. So, he went out early to buy more yellow paper.
For the battle at night, he had to prepare more talismans.
He thought he went out early, but who knew that there would be someone even earlier. When Ye Kong walked to the door, he saw Granny Hu's son, Ye Hai, also walking towards the door. Ye Hai was tall and strong, but he had a small face. He looked very uncoordinated.
But don't underestimate him. He was the real master of this generation in the Ye Family. Even Ye Wei was no match for him.
Although Ye Hai was only the son of a servant, Ye Haoran still valued him very much. He appointed him to an important position in the yamen of the southern city. So, even the descendants of the Ye Family would not provoke him easily.
When Ye Kong saw Ye Hai, he immediately withdrew his hands into his sleeves. He held his newly created Blind Talisman in one hand and a Mind Lock Talisman in the other. He looked at Ye Kong nervously, ready to fight at any time.
But to Ye Kong's surprise, Ye Hai did not cause trouble for him. It was as if he didn't know Ye Kong. He walked past Ye Kong expressionlessly, as if he didn't know Ye Kong.
"Could it be that he has changed?" Ye Kong muttered in his heart. Ye Hai was not a kind person. Usually, when Granny Hu quarreled with others, he would go to her house and fight. What about the two slaps he gave Granny Hu? Shouldn't he at least show some anger?
When Ye Hai walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and smiled at Ye Kong. Then, he turned around and left on his horse.
No, there's something wrong with this guy. From his smile, Ye Kong could already see hatred, cruelty, and a trace of schadenfreude.
Could it be that he knew someone was going to rob and kill him tonight? The more Ye Kong thought about it, the more likely it was. The collusion between the government and the gangs happened in every world, and the Cangnan Continent was no exception.
"Collusion between the government and the bandits to kill a grown-up kid like me. You really don't look down on me!" Ye Kong sneered and walked toward the bustling street.
Time flew, and it was noon in the blink of an eye.
The Northern District was the slum of the Southern District. White walls and black tiles were almost extinct here. Collapsed yellow mud walls and yellow mud houses were everywhere, as if he had come to a deserted village. But this place was not deserted, and people lived in every broken house.
When he came to this place, the small streets and alleys were filled with people dressed in rags. Many of them were holding broken bowls. It was unknown whether they had come back from begging or used for their own meals.
The Lu Family was in one of the alleys. Under the sunlight, a young man in a white robe walked over calmly on the dry and coarse yellow soil.
This was Ye Kong. He had originally planned to come in the evening, but after thinking about it, he still wanted to meet the Lu brothers in advance.
After all, he was only a thirteen-year-old young man, and his opponent was the Dragon Snake Gang that had colluded with the government. Anyone could tell who was stronger between the two, so Ye Kong decided to visit them in advance and give the Lu brothers some benefits.
More importantly, he wanted them to understand his strength and not betray him at the last moment.
The people living in the slum were very vigilant. Towards Ye Kong's clean and tidy new face, the passersby all cast wary and cold gazes at him.
Ye Kong wanted to strike up a conversation with someone first and ask for some information, but it seemed like he didn't find anyone good.
There was a well in front, and after turning a corner, he could see the Lu Family's dilapidated gate. Ye Kong was already prepared to go directly to the Lu Family, but when he reached the well, he stopped.
There was a little girl washing clothes by the well. The girl was about the same age as Ye Kong, around thirteen or fourteen years old. She was squatting by the well, scrubbing clothes strenuously. Her back was facing Ye Kong, and she looked very thin and small. Her clothes were also very shabby, and her upper body was wearing a very short old shirt. When she squatted down to wash the clothes, a large piece of her white jade-like skin was exposed.
"Little girl, washing clothes by yourself?" Ye Kong walked over with a kind face.
It was not that he was lustful. Earth gangsters like him were only interested in mature women with big breasts. This kind of stunted and skinny little girl was not his type at all.
"Who are you?" The little girl's black eyes looked at Ye Kong with vigilance.
Even a child was so vigilant. Ye Kong was not discouraged. Instead, he took out a piece of silver from his pocket, then squatted down and said, "Little girl, it must be tiring to earn money by washing clothes. As long as you answer a few questions, this silver is yours."
Ye Kong's harmless smile and the broken silver had an effect. The little girl wiped her hands and stood up. It could be seen that her trousers did not fit her at all. When she stood up, her thin and straight calves could be seen.
"Ask away. Don't come over. Just stand there and ask." The little girl took half a step back. Her vigilance made Ye Kong not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Little girl, it's nothing important. I just want to chat for a while. Don't worry, I won't hurt you," Ye Kong said.
"My mother said that rich people are bad people who only know how to bully the poor for fun."
"I'm not a rich person."
"Then why don't you take out your silver? People who don't have money won't ask for directions. "
Ye Kong was speechless. He didn't expect to become a rich person. However, he was still very good at pretending. He smiled and said, "My mother also said that although our family is poor, we still have to be willing to spend when we go out. Do you understand the road to riches from a poor family? So, although I'm generous, I'm not a rich person. You see, my clothes are made of coarse cloth, not silk and satin. In fact, I'm poorer than you. You're at best a poor person, but I … I'm a pauper. "
The little girl couldn't help but laugh out loud. Although the little girl was skinny, her face was really beautiful. She had curved eyebrows, big eyes, and under her thin lips, there was even a beautiful mole.
The little girl believed Ye Kong and said, "Little brother, ask away. I don't want silver."
