The Heavens: Cross the World

Chapter 266 Stand-in Talisman (please vote for me)
The nearest town is Beikan Town, which is twenty miles away.

The scale of the town is small, and the inside is basically the customs of the late Qing Dynasty, and there is not much appearance of the Republic of China.

I think the Republic of China has just been established, and the breath of revolution has not yet blown over.

Feng Ji and Lin Jiu entered the town, and Lin Jiu said as he walked, "Let's go to the medicine shop first."

"Have you relapsed?"

"No, I need to draw a [substitute talisman]. This is a sixth-order talisman. It needs high-grade cinnabar. I don't have any cinnabar on me."

Feng Ji was stunned, and immediately said: "The Taoist priest surnamed Zhang has extra in his bag, do you think it can be used?"

Lin Jiu shook his head: "No, although his cinnabar is also high-quality cinnabar, but the cinnabar used to draw talismans has been specially processed by different schools and schools. I still need some auxiliary medicinal materials."

Feng Ji nodded: "What kind of talisman is [Substitute Talisman]? What is its use?"

"As the name suggests, the substitute talisman is to create a substitute talisman for yourself and stick it on some living creatures to resist some search secrets."

"The reason why we were overtaken by the people from Longhu Mountain so quickly is that they must have used some kind of magic to locate us."

As they spoke, the two of them entered a medicine shop, and the strong aroma of medicinal materials hit them.

Feng Ji followed Lin Jiu and watched him buy a large number of rare medicinal materials, most of which were at least ten years old.

Lin Jiu explained: "It takes at least ten years for these medicinal materials to have enough medicinal properties to form a talisman. Otherwise, if it is less than ten years, even if the talisman is drawn, the effect will not be good."

When he spoke, the medicinal materials were already prepared, and when he was about to deliver and pay, Lin Jiu suddenly became embarrassed.

He pulled Feng Ji aside and said in a low voice, "Do you have any silver? I escaped in a hurry and didn't bring any silver."

Feng Ji smiled immediately, stretched out his hand to take out Zhang Gongshu's bag, and said, "He has a lot of gold and silver in this bag."

Lin Jiu was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly took the money to pay.

With a large bag of medicinal materials, the two quickly went to an inn.

In the inn, Lin Jiu placed the utensils on the table.

Grind the medicinal materials he bought, mix them with clear water and cinnabar, and after the grinding was sticky, he looked at Feng Ji again and said, "The key to drawing talismans is not only whether the runes can be completed in one go, but also how to mix cinnabar ink, talisman paper, and talisman pens." Production also needs to be considered.”

"The arts of cultivating immortals are divided into categories. There are many kinds of knowledge just by drawing symbols."

Feng Ji nodded slightly, thinking that what Lin Jiu said made sense.

It was naturally very difficult for him to figure it out by himself in the past, but the Maoshan School, as one of the Three Mountain Talisman Schools, is an expert in this area.

He stood by and looked at Lin Jiu's talisman drawing. Lin Jiu's talisman drawing was extremely talented, and he was not inferior to Feng Ji at all.

This sixth-order [substitute talisman] should be some kind of difficult talisman, but Lin Jiu only drew it three times, and he made two talismans. The success rate is high, which can be seen.

After drawing two [substitute symbols], Lin Jiu rubbed his sweat and said with a smile, "I'm lucky today. Out of the three times, I made it twice. I prepared a total of ten materials. The rest of the materials will be practiced by the younger brother." Bar."

He stepped aside and left the remaining eight materials for Feng Ji to practice.

Feng Ji nodded: "Thank you, brother."

At that moment, he picked up the talisman pen and began to outline it on the talisman paper according to the substitute talisman drawn by Lin Jiu just now.

Lin Jiu looked on, wanting to give some advice.

But I never thought that Feng Ji's brushwork is so proficient, as if he has drawn countless times.

In the blink of an eye, a [Substitute Talisman] has been successfully drawn.

But seeing this stand-in talisman flashing with spiritual light, Feng Ji smiled and said, "Senior brother, how about it?"

Lin Jiu was dumbfounded: "Have you drawn a [substitute symbol] before?"

Feng Ji shook his head: "It's the first time to draw."

"what!"

Lin Jiu was taken aback, and looked at Feng Ji in shock, really unbelievable.

His talent in drawing talismans has already been called a rare genius by his master.

Often as long as his magic power is enough to support the talisman he draws, he will be able to draw it skillfully after usually learning for three to five days.

This kind of talent is envied by countless disciples of Maoshan.

However, in front of Feng Ji, it seems that his talent is a bit difficult to use.

Feng Ji drew a talisman for the first time, and it was a success!
He secretly marveled, his younger brother, who has just been accepted as a disciple, not only has an amazing talent in cultivation, but is the talent in drawing talismans also a rare genius?

He couldn't help but said: "You try to draw another picture."

Feng Ji nodded without explaining, and immediately continued to draw.

He also knew that time was of the essence, and he was afraid that the masters from Longhu Mountain would come after him at some point.

So if you can finish the painting as soon as possible, let's do it as soon as possible.

At the moment, the pen is a dragon and a snake, and it is completed in one go, and in an instant, another substitute talisman is completed.

Lin Jiu's eyes widened, his expression was full of shock: "Successful again?"

Feng Ji didn't wait for him to speak, and immediately opened a new piece of talisman paper, and continued to draw.

Time waits for no one, finish the painting as soon as possible, and get out of here quickly.

One, two, three, four...

All eight pictures have been drawn, and there is no time for a cup of tea.

Lin Jiu on the side was dumbfounded.

"Success rate... [-]%? This... what kind of terrifying talent is this?"

His heart was beating wildly, and he became ecstatic for no reason.

"It must be that the ancestor showed up in the sky and sent such a genius to me when Maoshan was in great danger. Hahaha, my hope for Maoshan may lie in my junior brother."

Lin Jiu's face was full of joy and he immediately said: "Junior brother, your talent for drawing talismans is really the best I have ever seen. Don't waste this talent in the future. Practice more. The way of talismans is the foundation of my Sanshan Talisman Sect. "

Thinking of this, he immediately said: "When we settle down, I will pass on our Maoshan "Complete Explanation of Talismans and Talismans" to you. There are thousands of talismans on it."

Hearing this, Feng Ji couldn't help laughing and said, "Thank you, brother."

"Don't talk about this, you give me a strand of hair."

"Hair? What is this for?" Feng Ji asked in surprise.

Although he was asking, he still cut off a strand of hair and handed it to Lin Jiu.

Lin Jiu quickly picked up the talisman, wrapped Feng Ji's hair in the talisman, and explained: "Junior brother, things like hair, nails, and blood are closely related to your body. There are many spells and sorcerers in the world. , are borrowing these things to deal with the enemy."

"Our substitute talisman uses hair as a medium to make it replace your breath, so that it can interfere with the enemy's pursuit."

"But in addition to the substitute talisman, there are actually many head drop techniques, curse secret techniques, and divination spells, all of which require these things."

"If the enemy takes these personal items of yours, it will be a big trouble, so when you travel in the world in the future, please remember not to leave these things lightly."

Feng Ji nodded immediately, and wrote down these points for attention.

At this time, Lin Jiu also pulled out a strand of his hair, and wrapped it in the [substitute talisman].

"Come on, let's find a substitute."

Lin Jiu pushed open the window, jumped up to the roof.

Feng Ji's figure flashed, and immediately followed.

The two ran up the house, and Feng Ji asked, "Brother, what kind of substitute do you need?"

"It's best if it can fly, and it can be far away from here... This is good."

Lin Jiu raised his head suddenly and shouted with a smile on his face.

Feng Ji looked up, but saw a group of wild geese flying south in the sky.

But seeing Lin Jiu immediately sticking two talismans on himself, the whole person jumped up and flew up out of thin air.

Feng Ji noticed the two talismans on his legs, which were the same as the talismans used when chasing and killing Zhang Gongshu that day, and seemed to be some kind of light-weight talismans.

Feng Ji used the air control technique and also flew up out of thin air, catching up to Lin Jiu.

But seeing Lin Jiu fly to the sky, flicked the stand-in talisman, and immediately attached it to the two wild geese lightly.

Then I saw him making formulas with both hands and muttering words in his mouth.

"Replace me with a talisman, and make a wishful order in a hurry!"

hum!
The talismans on the two wild geese hummed immediately, and then slowly penetrated into the bodies of the two wild geese like clear water.

From beginning to end, the two geese didn't even notice it, and they still flapped their wings and flew south.

Lin Jiu just laughed, turned his head and said to Feng Ji: "You're done, with these two wild geese as our substitutes, some guys from Longhu Mountain have been found. Let's go, let's choose another path."

Feng Ji nodded, and the two immediately galloped in the air, flying in the opposite direction to the wild geese, and flew northward all the way.

People in the air, Feng Ji asked curiously: "Brother, you walk in the sky, relying on these two magic symbols on your legs?"

Lin Jiu nodded and said, "That's right, this is a sixth-order talisman called [Wind Riding Talisman]. After using it, your body is as light as the wind, and you can walk against the wind."

"Junior brother, your technique of using the virtual wind to control the wind is not bad, but the speed is a bit slow."

Feng Ji smiled and nodded: "It is indeed not as fast as my senior brother's magic talisman. I didn't think so before, but now I feel that my flying technique is really useless. If I run with all my strength, my speed can even catch up with this magic."

Lin Jiu said with a smile: "From my point of view, your spell, junior brother, should be just an ordinary method of controlling qi below the fifth level of qi refining. My Maoshan School Doubu has an escape technique, which is extremely fast. Unfortunately, I am not talented enough and have not been able to do it so far." Learn it, I will pass it on to you later, your talent is a hundred times better than mine, maybe you can learn it."

Feng Ji quickly asked, "What escape technique?"

"Big Dipper Starlight Escape, this technique uses starlight as a medium, incarnates in the starlight, and when practiced to great success, it is said that it can appear at will in the sky full of stars."

"Of course, I don't know if it is such an exaggeration, but I have indeed seen the ancestor record this technique, using starlight as a medium, not only extremely fast, but also silent, like a meteor galloping, fleeting in the blink of an eye. "

"Then there is no starlight in the daytime, can you still use it?" Feng Ji asked curiously.

Lin Jiu laughed loudly and said: "Junior brother, the stars in the sky and the earth are just like the sun and the moon. They hang in the sky no matter day or night. Do you think that the stars will disappear during the day?"

"You are wrong here. The stars hang high above the blue sky in the daytime, but the light of the sun is so powerful that it covers up the light of the stars."

"But it is also because of this that when using this evasion technique during the day, the concealment is actually stronger than at night."

Feng Ji couldn't help being stunned, he couldn't help crying and laughing, he had fallen into a misunderstanding of thinking.

The stars are still there during the day, but the starlight is not as dazzling as the sun.

If we think about it with modern thinking, the sun is actually one of the stars, and this escapism is performed through the light of the stars. Isn't the light of the sun also one of the stars?

While the two were discussing and talking, they had already flown over the mountains and hundreds of miles away.

Feng Ji asked: "Brother, this road is going north, where are we going?"

Lin Jiu sighed and said: "The Taoism in the world is divided into north and south, and the south is Zhengyi. Right now, the Zhengyi is headed by Longhushan Tianshi Dao. It is inconvenient for us to walk in the south, so we can only go to the north."

"Northern Taoism, led by Quanzhen Taoism. Although the orthodoxy is different, I have a younger brother named Ma Madi. He has a twin brother. It is said that he has joined the fax sect. Maybe we can go to him."

Feng Ji frowned: "Quanzhen Taoism is the Quanzhen religion of the Song and Yuan Dynasties?"

"Exactly, Quanzhen Taoism was sought after by the emperors of the Song and Yuan dynasties, and was revered as the number one sect in the north."

Feng Ji couldn't help being surprised, isn't that the Quanzhen sect in the sculpture of the gods?
He asked doubtfully: "Wasn't the Quanzhen Sect destroyed in the Yuan Dynasty?"

Lin Jiu laughed and said, "How reliable are the records of mortals? As the largest sect in the north, Quanzhen Sect has many caves and heavens. How could it be so easily wiped out by a mortal court?"

"The emperor of the Yuan Dynasty burned down the mountains of the Quanzhen Sect, but the Quanzhen Sect has spread all over the north, broken up into pieces, and hidden in the cave."

"At present, there are too many sects in the Jiuhua Mountain in the north, including the Weibo Sect, the Zhenzhen Sect, and the Seven True Five Patriarchs, so they are classified as a Taoist inheritance opposite to ours in the south."

Feng Ji was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that the Quanzhen Sect was so great in the world of monasticism. In the world of martial arts, he was a sect that could be wiped out with just one hand. Here, it had spread and became one of the two Taoist sects in the world, the leader of the Northern Taoist sect. .

"Brother, what kind of sect is this Fax School?"

Lin Jiu said with a smile: "The Facsimile School was considered a big school in the Ming Dynasty in the early years. It is a pity that in these years, among the disciples and grandchildren, there is no one who can carry the power. Dongtian supports the sect, I don't know the specific situation, I have to go and see to find out."

Feng Ji nodded and immediately rushed north with Lin Jiu.

But not long after Feng Ji and his two left the town, a flash of thunder flashed in the sky.

In the blink of an eye, two Taoists flew over the small town.

One of them had a hulking back and a gloomy face, but he turned his head to look at the thin Taoist beside him, and said, "Shouxin, is the dog of Maoshan's mourning family here?"

The young Taoist at the side hastily took out a gossip mirror and made a formula in his hand.

But he saw that the light in the mirror fluctuated slightly, and a ray of blue light shot out. After a while, he said, "I found that person's aura here, but it's not here now."

"Continue to investigate! Anyone who dares to hurt my Longhushan disciples deserves to die!"

He roared, and the disciple named 'Shou Xin' hurriedly activated the Eight Diagrams Mirror.

Not long after, a ray of blue light shot towards the south.

Seeing this, the young man said, "Go south!"

Without saying a word, the middle-aged man waved his hand and grabbed the young Taoist. The two of them fled to the south in an instant with lightning flashes all over their bodies.

After a day and a night, the two finally chased to a wilderness ridge thousands of miles away to the south.

In the gossip mirror, blue light swirls in the air and does not disperse.

The young Taoist was shocked: "It's strange, it's nearby, but I can't feel anyone."

The middle-aged Taoist sneered, and immediately stretched out his hand, took out a talisman, and squeezed it lightly.

Bang!
The talisman exploded and turned into a wisp of green smoke.

But I saw green smoke curling up and flying towards the forest.

The two immediately followed, and after a while, they saw a group of wild geese resting on a tree near a pool deep in the forest.

There are a few more, drinking water by the lake.

At this time, green smoke surrounded one of the wild geese.

The middle-aged man's face instantly turned livid. With a wave of his hand and a roar, a ray of lightning hit the goose.

Immediately all the wild geese were frightened and huffed and flew up, their feathers fell and floated down.

The young Taoist Zhang Shouxin hurried over, grabbed the wild goose and looked around. His face changed slightly, and he hurried back, handed the wild goose to the middle-aged Taoist, and shouted: "Master, look."

The middle-aged Taoist looked at Dayan's body. At this time, there was a mark in the shape of a talisman on the back of the body.

His face was extremely gloomy: "Maoshan Sect [Stand-in Talisman]!"

He squeezed it violently, and with a bang, the body of the wild goose exploded. It was obvious that the anger in his heart was about to erupt at any time.

Zhang Shouxin couldn't help but said, "Master, what should we do now?"

The Taoist in the middle took a deep breath and suppressed his anger: "Two treacherous rats, hmph, go back first, wait until the Huayang Cave of the Maoshan School is cleaned up and all those old things are wiped out, and then slowly find these little beasts."

……

"My fellow, may I ask, what kind of territory is this place?"

In the Qinling Mountains, Feng Ji and Lin Jiu headed north and finally stopped.

When they came to a small town one day, the two couldn't help asking the old local farmers.

The old farmer on the ridge of the field glanced at the two of them, seeing that they were both dressed as Taoist priests, he became less vigilant, and shouted, "This is Qingshui Village, two priests, where are you going?"

Lin Jiu's one-word eyebrows looked a little fierce, but Feng Jifeng was handsome, and the old farmer spoke kindly to him.

Feng Ji smiled and asked: "Old man, is there a Taoist temple nearby? We want to go to the Taoist temple to hang out and rest."

The old farmer smiled and said: "There are quite a few Taoist temples. After passing the town in front of you, go to the Qinling Mountains and look for them. You should be able to find them if you ask."

"However, I advise you not to go there at night. The deep mountains and old forests in the Qinling Mountains are mostly haunted by goblins and ghosts."

Lin Jiu couldn't help asking: "Fellows, have you heard of Fax School?"

The old farmer shook his head: "I don't know about that."

The two looked at each other, and Feng Ji said: "It seems that we can only go to the town to ask."

"Well, that's all there is to it."

The two bid farewell to the old farmer, but they didn't want the old farmer to hold back Feng Ji, and said, "Master Dao, I see that you are a fairy, and you have real skills. Can you give me a talisman?"

Feng Ji was stunned, but he didn't expect the old farmer to ask for benefits.

Lin Jiu seemed to be used to it, and directly handed out a talisman, saying: "This is a safety talisman, you can put it on your body on weekdays, or stick it at home."

"Oh, thank you, thank you Daoist."

Lin Jiu pulled Feng Ji and left the village immediately.

He smiled and said: "The Peace Talisman is a low-level talisman that can dispel evil spirits. Generally, monsters and spirits will avoid it when they see the talisman."

"Generally, when we Taoists go out, if we want to beg for alms or something, we will send a low-level talisman, which is not considered a debt to others, so as to avoid causing karma."

"Over time, everyone has gotten used to it, and sometimes they will take the initiative to ask us for talismans and pray for safety."

Feng Ji nodded slightly. This habit is different from that of Buddhism, and it is a good habit.

After a while, the two entered the town, which was bustling with traffic.

Not long after, I heard a wedding procession passing by with gongs and drums.

Feng Ji and Lin Jiu stepped aside to let the wedding procession go first.

In his ears, there was the discussion of the busybodies on the side.

"Whose family is getting married?"

"It seems that the richest man in this town is married to the Liao family."

"Where is this bride from?"

"I don't know. The origin is very mysterious, and the Liao family has not revealed it at all."

"I heard that Mr. Liao's family is a little strange. He said that he refused to marry a wife and wanted to learn Taoism. This year, he has been deceived for the third time."

"Shh, he's just the stupid son of a rich family."
