Chapter 15 Symbols

The first time I drew a talisman, I had to draw a lot of thunderstorm talismans that talisman masters dared not write, and even talisman ink made of thunder fruit. The challenge was not ordinary.

Most people are too nervous to move their hands.

Zhou Shu, who was sitting still, stroked the green smoke in his hand, facing the pressed talisman paper, with a calm expression, without any other emotions.

The drawing method of the thunderstorm talisman and the flow of spiritual power have been calculated hundreds of times in his mind.

Ready to go.

He picked up the pen and gently put it into the ink bottle, as if he was attracted, the talisman ink full of lightning rushed to climb onto the whisker.

Tiny lightning flashes constantly at the tip of the pen, touching people's hearts, and if the spiritual power is slightly disturbed, the manic thunder power will explode.

Zhou Shu turned a blind eye and just acted normally.

Slowly put down the tip of the pen, lightly touching the blank talisman paper, like a breeze, leaving an invisible trace.

With a subtle movement, the emerald smoke pen brought out a nearly perfect arc, and the thunder light visible to the naked eye instantly matched the talisman paper. Immediately afterwards, Zhou Shu's wrist trembled slightly, and suddenly exerted force, a powerful horizontal stroke, almost rushing out of the talisman paper. But soon, Zhou Shu pulled back the nib of the pen as if trying to turn the tide, twisting and turning, the manic spiritual power also weakened accordingly, converging into a wonderful gossip semicircle.

At this time, Zhou Shu seemed to have entered a state of obsession, everything around him disappeared, and he only had this pen and amulet in his eyes, heart, and hands.

Gritting his teeth slightly, the nib of the pen flipped out from the other side of the gossip, zigzag downward, like a snake crawling meanderingly. At every corner, the spiritual power guiding Lei Li will stagnate a little, leaving a hidden node.

When drawing arcs, the tip of the pen vibrates slightly, sometimes light and sometimes heavy. If you look closely, you will find that these serpentine arcs are made up of points one by one, and there is a hair-thin trace connecting each point in the middle. In these points, there is a strong thunder force in the thunder fruit, which is almost ready to explode.

The pen touched the middle and lower part of the talisman paper, and the tip of the pen suddenly turned into a horizontal line, straight as a ruler, running through the left and right.

This is the main channel for the flow of spiritual power, and it is also the focus of the explosion of talismans. This stroke seems ordinary and simple, but it requires extremely high manipulation of spiritual power. Most of the input of spiritual power is done in this stroke.

After Zhou Shu finished this stroke, his forehead began to sweat, and his usually calm and calm eyes were slightly reddened.

But his arm didn't move at all, his spiritual power was as usual, and the talisman would of course not be affected in any way.

The thunder light on the talisman kept flashing, hiding a faint murderous intent. At this time, at the critical moment of making this talisman, if there is a slight carelessness, the talisman will explode violently, destroying people and injuring people.

But his pen didn't stop, it was drawing a circle. Like a flowing brook meeting a hidden reef, under the effect of spiritual power, the tip of the pen swirls continuously, swimming back and forth on the talisman paper, drawing a series of circles. These circles are connected to each other without interfering with each other, diverting strands of thunder force, making them gradually calm down.

Although this calmness is only to contain greater power, it will exert stronger power when it explodes.

I have performed it nearly a hundred times in my mind, but Zhou Shu didn't fully understand the beauty of the talisman until he actually drew it.

He became more involved.

Zhou Shu's mind was no longer peaceful, but became excited, but this excitement was excellent for the character. This is a state that seems to be possessed by a demon, as if dedicating his body and mind to the talisman written by his pen.

In this state, drawing symbols also becomes easier.

The nib seems to have life, it is agile and lively, as if it is no longer manipulated by Zhou Shu, but the nib is moving on its own initiative. This smooth feeling, if you don't live in it, you can't imagine it at all.

Not many Talismans can do it.

Complicated and perfect lines appeared continuously on the talisman paper, densely packed like cobwebs, but each stroke was extremely clear. The incomparably mysterious pattern also gradually reveals its complete form.

As soon as the wrist stopped, it was pressed down suddenly, and a powerful ending point was drawn in the middle of the talisman paper.

The most difficult thing to draw is to close the pen.

As the emerald smoke pen was lifted up, the spiritual power was retracted, and the entire talisman suddenly exploded with thunder, like the sun, and the shimmering talisman suddenly shone brightly, as if the thunder force was about to explode and blow up the entire hut.

But it returned to normal in the blink of an eye, the thunder light disappeared into the talisman paper, and there was an ordinary-looking talisman in front of him.

Only the brilliance that bloomed in an instant remained in Zhou Shu's pupils and lingered for a long time.

Zhou Shu breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

His weak spiritual power had been exhausted, and his whole body was drenched in sweat, but his eyes were full of excitement and joy.

Finally finished!

It worked!

Numerous calculations, hundreds of deductions, more than ten years of calligraphy and painting training, a successful realization! Zhou Shu's joy cannot be described in any words.

As calm as he is, he couldn't help but let out a long roar, expressing his feelings.

ah--

The depression that had accumulated over the past few months seemed to disappear without a trace with this long howl.

When the energy channels were all broken and the genius became useless, he did not sink down, but found his own way forward, drew a talisman, and became a talisman master.

A quarter of an hour later, he regained his indifference, but there was a bit of arrogance in that indifference.

He picked up the talisman in front of him and examined it carefully. The talisman pattern on the talisman was the same as he remembered, but it looked more perfect.

He doesn't know much about talismans, but no matter how you look at it, this talisman will not be inferior.

Thunderstorm talisman, a relatively complex first-order talisman, can form a certain range of thunderstorm area after it is successfully cast. Opponents in the area will be hit by dozens or even hundreds of thunderbolts continuously. The duration and scope of the thunderstorm are determined according to the quality of the talisman. , and power.

The low-grade thunderstorm talisman is within a few feet, but there are only three or five thunderbolts, and the duration is only one or two breaths.

Middle grades can reach a radius of more than one zhang, and a dozen lightning bolts can last for three to five breaths.

As for the top grade, it is twice as much as the middle grade in all aspects.

And the best...

No matter what kind of talisman, the best quality is extremely difficult to appear, and many factors are required, such as talisman ink, talisman paper, even weather and geography, etc., all must be perfectly adapted. out one.

"It should meet the requirements of the middle grade. Let's work hard, make a few more, and then go out to test and see how it is."

Zhou Shu made up his mind, and without wasting time, he immediately meditated and adjusted his breath to restore his spiritual power.

Half of his weak spiritual power was consumed just by making one talisman, but he recovered quickly. In less than half an hour, he sat down at the stone table again and began to draw the next talisman.

In two days, he drew ten thunderstorm talismans and failed five of them.

The success rate of 50% is already extremely high in the eyes of other talisman masters. Most talisman masters can't even reach the success rate of 10% for painting thunder-type talismans, but he is a little dissatisfied.

Because the failure was not due to his mistakes, he had extremely precise calculations and spiritual power control, coupled with a calm and calm mind, it was difficult to make mistakes in drawing symbols.

The failure is mostly due to the talisman paper or talisman ink. These things are handmade, and there are inevitably some differences, uneven thickness, etc., and a talisman such as a thunderstorm talisman cannot tolerate any mistakes.

"In such a world, there is no way to solve this kind of thing for the time being, it can only be done by luck."

After thinking for a while, Zhou Shu smiled and stopped thinking about it.
