Chapter 28:
While talking, He Yu came back, and the old man was a little tired, so he waved his hand and asked He Yu to tell the winter solstice, and he gave pointers beside him.
When He Yu heard that the old man taught the Five Thunder Talismans to the Winter Solstice, he couldn't help but open his mouth: "Master, are you serious?"
The old man was dissatisfied: "What is true or false, let you teach it!"
"Then why don't you just accept the winter solstice as your apprentice?" He Yu couldn't figure it out, but only felt that in the past few years after he was away from the mountain, the behavior of master and uncle became more and more strange.
The old man glared at him: "Do you teach me? Don't delay my dinner!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" He Yu scratched his head and said to the Winter Solstice: "Five Thunders is a kind of talisman specially used by Chuanlu sect to subdue demons and demons. All sects and sects have similar talismans. Lei is not something you can invite if you want, and people who are not firm can't learn..."
The old man interrupted him: "I've already said this, you pick the point!"
He Yu was speechless, so he had to say: "You're just getting started, so you shouldn't have learned this advanced rune technique, but since my uncle insists on teaching me, I'll demonstrate it first. Look at it, and ask if you don't understand anything."
In Hezao School, yellow paper and cinnabar are readily available and can be found at any time. He Yu pressed a paperweight on the yellow paper, closed his eyes and inhaled, brewing ideas, and then opened his eyes and picked up a pen, all in one go.
At the winter solstice, he held his breath and did not dare to disturb, and saw him write on the yellow paper with his own eyes.
"Don't you have to bite your fingers and drip blood this time?" Dongzhi asked while looking at the completed rune.
"Generally speaking, it's not necessary. It was so dry on the train because I couldn't find the yellow paper at the time. In order to enhance the effect, I had to do it later to deal with demons." He Yu said.
The runes of the Five Thunder Talismans are naturally completely different from the Mingguang Talismans. They look much more complicated and contain deformed Chinese characters. The winter solstice is simulated in my mind, and I jot it down silently. Some details may not be remembered in one go, but rote memorization always fails. Incorrect.
After the talisman was painted, when the cinnabar was dry, He Yu walked to the open space, held the talisman in one hand, kneaded the tactic with the other, and began to chant the mantra.
Looking up at the sky at the winter solstice.
I don't know if it was his delusion, the sun was obscured by dark clouds just now, and now it is completely blocked, and it is gloomy.
He Yu finished reciting the spell, flicked the rune, and the rune ignited without fire. He let go of his hand, and the rune did not float down, but rose slowly.
The wind was blowing from all directions. At first, it was just a gentle breeze, with the heat of early summer and the smell of green grass in the mountains, but soon, the wind became stronger and stronger, and even the leaves above their heads were rustled. The young leaves that were growing just fine were also scraped off, and the winter solstice and the old man were even more squinted by the sand, so they had to block their eyes with their hands.
The Winter Solstice couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Shi, is the thunder coming down soon?"
The old man snorted: "Rune is a medium, just like visiting other people's houses in ancient times, you have to hand in a famous letter, and the same is true for asking Tianlei, the faster the rune rises, the faster the sky will receive the message, but this The kid can't do it now, that talisman is as slow as a tortoise crawling."
He Yu heard it and couldn't help protesting: "I'm injured, I was caught by you to invite Tianlei, and I'm also disgusted. Is it easy for me? I..."
Before he finished speaking, a flash of light suddenly flashed through the clouds, followed by thunder.
With a bang, the winter solstice and the old man hugged each other, and the stone table under the tree was instantly split in half!
Old man: …
He Yu smiled dryly: "I'm injured, my head is a bit poor, I'm sorry, forgive me!"
The old man stretched out his hand and was about to hit him: "This table is gone, how can I still eat!"
After that thunderbolt, the winter solstice found that the dark clouds above his head soon dispersed, and the sky actually returned to light again.
He Yu was chased and beaten by the old man for a long time, and the junior brother who delivered the meal rescued him.
The disciples of the Hezao Sect must have become accustomed to the occasional thunder on the ground. They turned a blind eye to the tragic situation of the stone table, and asked the old man with the food: "Master Uncle, where is this food?"
He Yu is the youngest disciple of Head Xin, there are several disciples in Head Xin, the eldest disciple is the next head, and he is twenty years older than He Yu. The other disciples have also accepted several apprentices. They are younger than He Yu, and they are separated from the old man by two generations.
The old man pointed to the ground casually: "Put it there!"
The two disciples put down the food and looked at the winter solstice curiously.
They didn't work in the kitchen originally, they probably came to watch the fun when they heard He Yu brought someone in.
The winter solstice greeted them with a smile, and the two quickly left.
When He Yu saw the food on the ground, he shouted, "You are secretly eating duck again!"
"The winter solstice is here, this is for him!" the old man said stubbornly.
The winter solstice resolutely took down the pot and took a large piece to give to the old man: "It's okay to let Shishu eat a piece?"
The old man smiled and ran on He Yu: "Look at others, then look at you!"
He Yu rolled his eyes: "Family flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers!"
The old man tried to hit him again.
The self-raised duck in the mountains is indeed much fatter and tenderer than the one outside. In addition to its own deliciousness, this duck is also mixed with the aroma of tea leaves. It melts in the mouth. It also became more crispy and refreshing.
The old man moved faster than anyone else. When he was just taking his second bite of rice on the winter solstice, he had already squeezed most of the duck's meat into his mouth.
Seeing the winter solstice staring at his way of eating, He Yu said, "Look, this is the real evil intention of Uncle Shi to let you catch the duck!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit on the back of his hand.
The old man moved the whole plate of ducks to the winter solstice and to himself.
"Then don't eat it, you should lose weight too. You look big and three thick, so it's no wonder that you can't find a girlfriend. We are the upright faction, not the Quanzhen faction. We don't expect you to grow old alone!"
A meal was finished in a slap in the face.
It has been a long time since the winter solstice felt this kind of atmosphere, which reminded him of when his parents were still alive, they had a good relationship, and often no one was there to talk to me. Mom's sweet feeding, at that time he felt that his titanium alloy dog's eyes were going to be blinded, but after his parents died, he just wanted to blind the dog's eyes and couldn't find anyone.
After dinner, the old man asked He Yu to bring a bamboo reclining chair, and he sat comfortably under the tree to enjoy the shade, while continuing the unfinished topic with the winter solstice.
"The master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual. The key to all the use of the talisman lies in the individual's understanding of the talisman. For example, the effect of this kid's use just now is a failure."
He Yu, who was used as a negative teaching material, was also lying on the bamboo chair, holding up his mobile phone, and was focused on typing the copy.
Not to mention mobile phones on the mountain, originally there was no internet, but after He Yu went down the mountain, at his strong request, in order to facilitate contact, Sect Leader Xin asked people to install communication facilities.
After that, it became common for the disciples in the sect to use mobile phones, and under the influence of He Yu, they formed a group to play games, but they were all suppressed by the head of Xin.
The stars twinkled overhead, the ground was bright as frost, and insects and birds sang all around.
The winter solstice felt that this should be the most wonderful early summer time in his mind. He couldn't help but put such a picture into his mind, and planned to draw it after he went back.
It was cool at night in the mountains, but the old man still took a fan and shook it: "If you use poetry to describe the effect of the thunder talisman, it will be more vivid. The east wind and drizzle are coming, and there is light thunder outside Furong Pond. If you practice a little more. This effect can be achieved this time, but it is best to practice Thunder Technique in an open and unoccupied place, so as not to hurt innocent people.”
Winter Solstice nodded, humbly taught.
The old man: "When the proficiency in the spells reaches a certain level, it may be possible to achieve the effect of 'the rainstorm chases the thunder, and the wind suddenly comes'. He Yu barely achieved it just now, and he is also the best qualified one of the generation of the soap sect. ."
"Then what about going up?" Winter Solstice felt that this way of using ancient poems to describe the effectiveness of thunderbolts was novel and interesting.
He thought of the last time when Xu Wan was executed on the top floor of Tianyuan Building. At that time, ten thousand thunders were sent out in unison, which was earth-shattering, but in the old man's opinion, he was not the strongest.
The old man said, "That's 'the spirit of the mountains and rivers, the wind and thunder and the gods of the universe'. No ordinary person can reach this level. When I was young, I saw my master use it once, but since then, his vitality has been greatly damaged. Your body is getting worse every day. If you remember He Yu's demonstration just now, try it first. You probably won't be able to draw the rune for a while, so let He Yu go to my room and give it to you first. Take a few and use them directly."
He kicked He Yu: "Go get the Thunder Talisman!"
He Yu was kicked by him and almost wiped out, so he couldn't help shouting, "Am I being raised by a stepmother!"
Old man: "Yes!"
He Yu: …
He muttered, holding his phone up and walking while finishing the game. The old man shook his head and said to the Winter Solstice, "You can't play games, right? Don't learn from him."
Winter Solstice laughed dryly and dared not answer.
He Yu quickly brought the Thunder Talisman, and took a stack as soon as he took it.
"These will keep you practicing until dawn!"
The old man laughed and scolded, "Are you trying to get revenge?"
Winter Solstice took a rune, walked to the open space, recalled He Yu's actions and steps just now, and began to recover little by little.
For the first time, there was no movement.
The second time, nothing happened.
The third time, the rune burned, but failed to float.
...
The eighth time, the runes burned and floated, but the sky was silent.
For the ninth time, the burning rune slowly floated into the air, with dark clouds over the head, as if a storm was about to strike.
After failing again and again, the Winter Solstice didn't take it seriously. He focused on the rune in his hand, completely forgetting the outside world, and even forgetting the old man and He Yu next to him, as if he was in a vacuum world.
The chirping of insects and birds is completely inaudible.
The thick stack of Thunder Talismans has been used up to the last three remaining.
On the winter solstice, pick up the top one and put it between the index and middle fingers.
With a bang, the rune burned, he opened his eyes, let go of his hand, and threw the rune out.
The half-burned rune rose slowly, as if there was a hand supporting it.
The sky was completely dark, and it was impossible to tell if there was a dark cloud covering it.
But the thunder came faintly again, from far to near, echoing in the vast expanse of muffled sound.
As if the winter solstice had not been heard before, he still focused his attention and focused all his attention on the inch of the world in front of him.
The talisman, the medium of communication between heaven and earth.
Humans are so small, but they can often burst out great energy, inventing the power of heaven and earth with runes, and doing things that other creatures in the world cannot do.
The rune was about to burn out, and the flames were getting smaller and smaller, but the thunder above his head was getting louder and louder.
The winter solstice was expressionless, no longer as soft and cute as usual. His face was illuminated by lightning from time to time, like a jade carving.
Even He Yu, who had been playing games just now, couldn't help but turn his attention away from his phone, sat up straight, and watched the scene in front of him.
Neither he nor the old man made a sound, lest they disturb the winter solstice that was casting spells.
There was a loud bang, accompanied by a thunderbolt that was less than three feet in front of the winter solstice.
The extremely dazzling light caused the two of them to narrow their eyes.
But this wasn't the end of it. Then, three or four more slashes slashed down around the winter solstice, as if they were surrounding him, but they didn't hit him.
Several scorch marks quickly appeared all over his body, which seemed to form a circle.
These thunders are no bigger than the thickness of a finger, but they are enough to surprise the old man, thinking that He Yu took a month to practice, and now the winter solstice has been completed in one night!
He quickly ran out and supported the fallen Winter Solstice.
"I'm a little dizzy..." Dongzhi's face was pale and sweating profusely.
"You're too exhausted, go back and rest first." The old man said kindly.
The winter solstice is a bit regretful: "but I still want to hear your stories from the past."
The old man chuckled: "Wait for tomorrow, you will get up tomorrow, I will tell you enough, now it's time to rest!"
The winter solstice nodded obediently.
After the winter solstice left, He Yu put down his mobile phone, got up from the bamboo chair, and said triumphantly: "How is it, uncle, the person I found for you is good!"
The old man sighed: "It's not bad, but it's a pity that it's cheaper for others!"
He Yu's face was straight, and he no longer smiled: "Uncle, why are you talking so much today? To be honest, even if you like the Winter Solstice, you won't be dragging him to meet each other and talk endlessly, right?"
The old man rolled his eyes at him: "I'm in good spirits today, can't I? Besides, my deadline is approaching, so I won't let me eat more and talk more?"
He Yu was taken aback.
"Don't tell me, your master didn't mention it to you," the old man said slowly, "Why do you think I didn't accept the winter solstice? I can't teach him, there is no fate between us, but the child's face and personality It's all good, so I taught him the Five Thunder Talismans, and you will have many helpers in the Special Administration Bureau in the future."
"Uncle Master..." He Yu's eyes were slightly red, and he forced a smile, "Well, why do you say this? He was at the winter solstice, the boss didn't want to recruit him, and now he can't worship you as a teacher, and he doesn't have a good time. The name of the pie, it is estimated that he will not be able to enter the Special Administration Bureau."
The old man shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, I think his chance should be in the near future, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, you don't need to think about it. I gave myself a hexagram a few years ago, and the deadline should be this summer. It's getting late, it's alright if you're back, I can see you for the last time."
Seeing that He Yu's face was not good-looking, the old man patted his hand: "Although we and Maoshan Longhushan belong to the same Taoist sect, the inheritance of the Hezao School has been broken after all, and the family has been in the same line for thousands of years, so it is normal to despise us. At the beginning you complained to me that you wanted to enter the first group of the Special Administration Bureau, but in the end, you couldn't get in, so you had to go to the second group of Long Shen, but now look at it, with your temperament, it is actually better to stay in the second group than the first group, Right?"
He Yu nodded: "Yes, the boss is cold-hearted and warm-hearted, the atmosphere in the group is also lively, and the strength is not inferior to the group.
The old man smiled and said, "That's why misfortune and fortune depend on everything in the world. Don't blame your master. He didn't pass on the master to you, not because he didn't value you, on the contrary, the Hezao sect needs a capable person. For those who speak in official positions, your outgoing temperament is the most suitable."
He Yu said: "I understand, don't talk about it, I have figured it out for so many years."
The old man: "A while ago, you informed your master about Cheng Hui's disappearance, and your master asked me to make a plan for Cheng Hui. At that time, Cheng Hui was in danger this time, but this matter is about to be resolved. There may be some follow-up troubles, you need to be more careful in everything."
In front of the winter solstice just now, He Yu didn't show it, and now it feels even more uncomfortable when the old man seems to be explaining his last words.
"Don't talk about it, I'm sleepy, I'm going to bed, I'll talk about it when I get up tomorrow!"
"go Go!"
The old man didn't leave him either, he got up with a smile, and walked into the house with his hands behind his back.
Back in the guest room, the winter solstice lying on the bed, but tossing and turning, could not sleep.
In his heart, he was a little excited about learning a new spell, but also had the illusion that he was about to reach the peak of winning in life.
Rolling on both sides like pancakes, I couldn't help it, so I sent a message to Long Shen.
Winter Solstice: Boss Long, I have good news for you, today I learned the Five Thunder Talismans! O(∩_∩)O
After sending it, I regret it a little. He is not familiar with Long Shen. Wouldn't it be too presumptuous to send a message so late?
On the winter solstice, I put down my phone and rolled around again with the quilt in my arms, and the bed board rattled.
He really couldn't sleep, so he took out a pen and paper from the schoolbag next to him, and began to practice today's five thunder talismans.
After practicing for a while, the screen of his mobile phone lit up. With a glance from the corner of his eye, he found that Long Shen actually replied to the letter, so he hurriedly picked it up and looked at it.
Long Shen: When you learn it, you can grill squid for me!
winter solstice:? ? ?
The other party also made a drooling expression behind him.
Five Thunder Talismans? Grilled squid with thunder?
The winter solstice swayed between "the other party was ghosted" and "the other party's account was stolen".
Before he could get an answer, the other party sent another message: it was me. Just asked Kan Chaosheng to help me wait for a call.
At the winter solstice, the corners of his mouth twitched, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly replied: It doesn't matter, in fact, I couldn't sleep at all, so I would harass others everywhere. I hope I didn't disturb you. Today, I met He Yu's uncle at the Hezao School. Although he failed to accept me as his apprentice, he taught me the Five Thunder Talismans. It is said that this Talisman is a powerful magic weapon in Taoism. When I go to the Special Administration Bureau, I won't drag everyone down.
He typed out a lot of words in one breath.
This time, Long Shen came back quite quickly: it is difficult to master the Five Thunder Talismans, and He Yu's performance is not stable.
The implication is that a rookie like the Winter Solstice who is just getting started should not expect to do anything earth-shattering with the Five Thunder Talisman.
Seeing this message, the winter solstice is a little lost.
No praise, no encouragement, this is the Longshen style of seeking truth from facts, but it makes people feel a little impersonal.
He didn't tell Long Shen that he had been able to successfully attract thunder, but in his eyes, it was nothing to brag about because of Long Shen's ability.
Winter Solstice replied: I understand, thank you Dragon Bureau, I will practice hard. (*^__^*)
He put the phone aside and didn't look at it again.
The winter solstice did not know that in the desert in the northwest, Long Shen was sitting by the fire in the yurt, watching the text messages he sent.
"How do you feel about the winter solstice?" he asked suddenly.
"..." Kan Chaosheng, who was gnawing on the roast leg of lamb, stopped chewing with his cheeks stuffed up, stunned for a moment, swallowed the lamb with difficulty, and said, "It's okay!"
This answer was obviously too perfunctory and could not satisfy his immediate boss. Although Chaosheng was not afraid of the sky and earth, he couldn't help but restrain his madness when facing Long Shen.
"Human beings are very fragile, but He Yu said that the Winter Solstice is very talented in drawing talismans. If he can study hard for a few years, it should not be bad. Isn't He Yu going to take him back to his teacher's door to become a disciple of Hezao Sect? , the interview can also give the examiner some impression points.”
Long Shen said, "The Hezao faction will not accept him."
Looking at Chaosheng for a moment: "Why?"
Long Shen: "But I taught him the Five Thunder Talismans."
Looking at Chaosheng scratching his cheek: "Then, it should be fine, right? In fact, our second group has always been short of people. Usually, it's okay, but it will be exposed as soon as a major event occurs. But one group made the excuse that we were understaffed and took our credit."
Long Shen said lightly, "It is indeed our negligence that we let go of the demons on the train."
Kan Chaosheng was very unconvinced: "At that time, we were busy dealing with the bone dragons, and the Japanese were disrupting the situation, and it was too late. A group of **** were very strong in slandering. Why didn't they first find out that there was a problem on the train? They Usually, we are robbing people from us, and at critical moments, we have to take credit and get down. It is obvious that we have done more things and are stronger! Boss, when recruiting for the exam this year, you must be strong first, and you can't let one group do it again. Someone stole it!"
Long Shen let him complain a lot, still with that unhappy expression: "Got it."
Watching Chaosheng continue to eat the leg of lamb, Long Shen glanced at his phone.
Although he didn't think there was anything wrong with telling the truth, he still sent a message.
The winter solstice did not come back, maybe it was sleep.
He put down his phone, folded his hands behind his head, and lay down on the rug beside him.
The warmth of the fire made him quickly close his eyes.
