You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 264 Materials for drawing talismans

When the first patch of green appeared on the mountain, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan had already gone back and forth to the canyon several times.

They can now slide smoothly down into the canyon and enjoy the rare and beautiful scenery in the canyon.

When they sit on the bank of the river and meditate, they can feel the cheerful rhythm of the rushing river and the flowing fish.

The daily lives of Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were so busy that neither of them had the intention to think about the distant future.

When the spring breeze blew, Shi Xiaoliu took a look at the residences of Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng.

He said to Shi Zelan with some worry: "If master and uncle have a breakthrough, can this mountain withstand the thunder?"

Shi Zelan looked at him: "You think too much. Uncle and Master said before the small retreat that they just loosened their realm."

"The leader has also lost his temper and will be in seclusion for a few years. We don't know the news about the sect now."

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at each other. When Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng first retreated, they had already sent news to the sect.

The news from the Governor's Hall was to ask them to take care of their own safety and not to let others disturb the small retreat practice of Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng.

Shi Zelan took a deep look at Shi Xiaoliu: "Are the skills in your hand no longer enough?"

Shi Xiaoliu shook his head quickly: "Master has taught me new cultivation techniques before going into seclusion, and asked me to learn them carefully."

Shi Zelan listened to his words, calmed down and said to him: "My master has prepared a plan of exercises for me for more than ten years, and I will practice according to the sequence of exercises taught by master."

Shi Xiaoliu looked at her with envy: "My master said before retreating that if I don't have the raw materials for refining elixirs, I can try to use herbs to refine elixirs. Maybe I will get some surprises."

"When I was in the capital, I already purchased a lot of materials for drawing talismans in the secular world."

The two of them talked about these things, and soon felt that they had wasted time. The two of them walked down the mountain, hoping to encounter a surprise this time.

There were no surprises at the bottom of the mountain, but they frightened the people who went up the mountain to collect herbs.

When Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan went down the mountain, luckily they were decorated like hunters, so the herb pickers also breathed a sigh of relief after being frightened.

"Hello, two little brothers, are you going to hunt in the mountains?"

Shi Zelan smiled and nodded: "Hello, brother, we are just going up the mountain for a walk. There is nothing on the mountain, so we are going down the mountain again."

"Yes, it's very strange. In the past, you could occasionally hear the calls of tigers and wild boars in this mountain, but now they are gone."

The herb collectors went up the mountain, while Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan went down the mountain.

After a while, the herb collector patted his forehead and said, "I forgot to ask where the two young brothers live?"

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan actually returned, but they had put invisibility charms on them so the herb collectors couldn't see them.

Shi Xiaoliu sent a message to Shi Zelan: "The invisibility talisman we are using now is made of materials from the mortal world?"

"No, the invisibility effect of talismans made in the mortal world is not that good, and they are only suitable for use in a short period of time."

"Did you find any suitable materials while you were in the canyon?"

Shi Zelan picked up many beautiful stones on the bank of the canyon river, but Shi Xiaoliu mistakenly thought they were all useful stones.

Only now that Shi Zelan listened to his words did he understand his misunderstanding.

She immediately explained: "Xiao Liu, I picked it up to decorate the room because of its beauty."

Shi Xiaoliu was a little disappointed after hearing this, but he understood what Shi Zelan meant.

"Then next time, when you see some beautiful rocks, I'll help you pick some up too."

"Okay, but I don't believe your vision.

Last time, the stone was just rounder, but you thought it was a very beautiful stone. "

"The stone over there is indeed very beautiful. When I lift it up, I can see the shadow of the sun." "There are many such stones on the river bank. They are ordinary and beautiful, and have been polished and rounded by the river countless times."

The two of them passed by the herb gatherer and heard the herb gatherer mutter.

Shi Xiaoliu sighed quite a bit: "Everyone in the world wants to cultivate immortality, but they don't know that it takes a long time to cultivate immortality, and you have to endure loneliness and loneliness."

Shi Zelan felt grateful for Shi Xiaoliu's direction and said: "Xiaoliu, after you have a Taoist partner, the couple will not be able to get along for many years. Can you stick to your original intention?"

"Why not?
When we can't stay together, it doesn't mean we forget each other. "

When Shi Zelan walked to the canyon, she reached out and tore off the invisibility charm, then looked around: "Xiao Liu?"

"exist."

Shi Xiaoliu responded from behind her, and Shi Zelan looked at him and smiled: "Why are you walking behind?"

"I went to look at the herbs."

"Is it much?"

"It's not too much now, and the herb collector who goes up the mountain knows it well. He digs wild vegetables and goes home."

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan went down to the canyon this time and decided to find a new way down.

Shi Xiaoliu suggested: "Sister Lan, let's try not to use spiritual energy."

"Okay."

This time, when the two of them went down to the bottom of the canyon, they were both out of breath for a long time.

"Sister Lan, I have physical training techniques here, do you want to use them?"

"I also have physical training methods here. The lecturer said that they are suitable for female nuns to use."

"Okay, my technique may not be suitable for you.

I don’t want you to become a tall and thick man after long-term practice. "

"Xiao Liu, I thank you for your kindness."

They talked and walked along the river bank for a while, and then they went to pick out the stones on the river bank.

Shi Xiaoliu's interest in stones has always been the same. He still likes round and translucent stones.

Shi Zelan is looking for more special stones. She feels that such stones are more distinctive.

After Shi Xiaoliu picked a pile of stones, he was very reluctant to part with each one.

After seeing this, Shi Zelan suggested: “You might as well accept them all.

If you go back to Shijiazhuang in the future and want to build a yard, you can use these stones to decorate the courtyard. "

"If there's too much, it won't look good if it piles up."

In the end, Shi Xiaoliu just couldn't bear to look at the pile of stones again and said to Shi Zelan: "I will leave them here to give them a chance to wait for the person who is truly destined."

"Xiao Liu, are you hoping that these stones will become stone spirits one day?"

"Next time you go to a teahouse to listen to books, I will definitely ask the storyteller in advance what stories he will tell that day."

"Hahaha."

Shi Zelan happened to pick up a brightly colored stone, and she sat on the river bank and started polishing it.

Shi Xiaoliu squatted aside and looked at her: "You are too slow. How about I help you sharpen the stone?"

Shi Zelan looked at him: "I want to try whether this stone can be used as a material for drawing talismans."
