Shennong Sequence

Chapter 121 This boy is gifted, poaching the Golden Light Mage

Zhao Yun was able to enter a state of meditation quickly because of his past life's accumulated merits and the sound of Master Jin Guang's chanting, which flowed into his ears like a gurgling stream and quietly merged into his already strong soul. Only in this way could he achieve the opportunity to enter a state of meditation.

Zhao Yun looked respectful, bowed slightly and said:

"Master, I have written it on paper many times, so I have understood some of its charm and successfully condensed three runes."

"But when writing the runes on ordinary white paper, injecting magic power into the tip of the pen and then integrating the charm into the runes, although it can be written successfully..."

"However, because the white paper is ordinary and mundane, it is simply unable to carry the mysterious power and charm. As a result, the runes that have just been written cannot retain these mysterious powers. They often emit strange phenomena on their own, venting the power contained in them..."

"So, I came to ask the Master how to use the rune paper so that the power of the rune can be truly retained on the paper, and when it is needed in the future, it can be released in an instant."

When Master Jin Guang was pleased with Zhao Yun's Taoist talent, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

He also felt that this boy was extremely talented and his understanding of runes was so fast. With time, he would become a great man!

Master Jin Guang said: "I have often heard your master praise you, saying that you have a good understanding, but I never thought that in just two days, you have comprehended the runes to such an extent that when you write them, they will naturally be accompanied by magic power and charm, making them present a unique vision.

Could you please write two runes here for me to see?"

Zhao Yun said modestly: "My runes may be a little crude, but since you are willing to read them, I will write two of them. I hope you can give me some advice."

Master Jin Guang said gently: "Runes are about conception rather than form. It is the most wonderful thing to be able to understand their true meaning."

After Master Jin Guang finished speaking, he led Zhao Yun into the study.

In the study, there were ancient books everywhere, and many paintings of plum, orchid, bamboo, pine, flowers and birds were hung on the wall. On one of the quaint tables, there was a stack of yellow paper as wide as a palm, which was very vivid.

Zhao Yun had seen that yellow paper before. Before he crossed the Taoist tribulation, Master Sun gave him two thick earth talismans and one lightning-inducing talisman, both of which were made of this material!
There is also the ink stick with a faint purple glow and the brush holder made of topaz...

Master Jin Guang gestured to Zhao Yun to go to the desk and write by himself.

"Then Master, I will show you my ugliness."

Zhao Yun came to the desk, his eyes fell on the ink stick in the ink box that was slightly shining, and he sighed in his heart: "He is indeed a professional, and he has a set of good tools."

Take out the spiritual ink, gently pour a little clean water into the inkstone, and start grinding it finely.

The black ink that was ground out rolled down like black pearls, exuding a mellow pine scent...

Then, Zhao Yun picked up the jade pen, absorbed the ink in the inkstone, scraped it carefully, adjusted the pen tip to the most comfortable state for writing, and then prepared to write runes on the white paper.

However, Master Jin Guang said, "Xu Xiaoyou, since you have a plan in mind, why not write it down on the yellow paper?"

"That's fine too!"

Zhao Yun moved slightly, reached out his hand, took out a piece of yellow talisman paper from the stack of paper that was half a palm wide and one palm long in the upper left corner of the desk, and placed it in front of him.

The yellow talisman paper felt delicate to the touch, as if it had life, absorbing and exhaling wisps of inspiration between heaven and earth.

Zhao Yun dipped the brush into ink again, sharpened the tip of the brush, and thought in his heart about the three innate residual symbols he had condensed - earth, water, and wind.

In terms of the most profound understanding, it naturally belongs to the earth rune.

However, when writing here, there is naturally no need to use those innate residual talismans. It is only necessary to draw out the simplified version of the innate residual talismans passed down by the farmers!
As the pen was swung, it not only drew out the magic power in Zhao Yun's dantian, but also drew out the divine power from between his eyebrows and the sea of ​​consciousness, which flowed down into every stroke of the rune being written on the yellow paper in front of him.

When the geomantic symbol was completely written, a small bright light flickered gently at the end of the pen and ink.

Different from the situation where the magic power and charm collapsed when writing on ordinary white paper, at this time, when Zhao Yun wrote the earth runes on the yellow talisman paper, no strange phenomenon occurred.

But Zhao Yun knew that the absence of any vision was the biggest vision!

This means that the yellow talisman paper can really seal the power of the runes he wrote completely!

It's really wonderful.

Zhao Yun put down the talisman pen, picked up the earth symbol he had written on the yellow paper, and looked at it carefully.

Feeling the rune power contained in the yellow talisman paper, the power of magic power and charm transformed into power is in a state of being triggered but not yet unleashed.

At this moment, Zhao Yun was very satisfied.

Walking out of the desk, Zhao Yun handed the yellow talisman paper to Master Jin Guang and asked him to review it:
“Master, please take a look. However, my rune is just a simple rune. It cannot be compared with those runes with rune heads, rune cores, rune tails, etc. that have special spells.

I don't have a system, it's just a small attempt by a kid."

At this time, although Zhao Yun said that the runes he drew were not very good, in his heart, he was quite satisfied with the results of his practice!
Therefore, I was looking forward to Master Jin Guang's evaluation, but I was also a little worried that my runes were not good enough...

Master Jin Guang took the yellow talisman paper, looked at the runes on the ground, stared at them for a long time, and finally exclaimed:

"Not bad, not bad. You have only studied runes for a few days, but you can circulate a single rune and make it manifest some strange powers. You are much stronger than those mediocre people who have studied for three years."

Then, Master Jin Guang emphasized again:
"Runes are about meaning, not form. The form is just the state that everyone sees between heaven and earth, which can better carry the meaning and charm."

"The meaning is infinite, and the greater the scope, the higher the Tao... Anything that is bound by form will only care about the surface and lose the inner Tao."

"Of course, when you are just starting out, the shape of the symbol is to help you get a glimpse of the charm... In the early stages, the shape is important, and in the later stages, the meaning is important."

Afterwards, Master Jin Guang rolled up the earth rune written by Zhao Yun and put it into his sleeve.

He then signaled Zhao Yun to write a new rune on a piece of white paper. He wanted to see the power that would be released after writing on ordinary paper.

Zhao Yun looked at the thick stack of yellow talisman paper next to Master Jin Guang's desk and had no choice but to agree.

After a little thought, among the three runes he mastered, namely earth, water and wind, the earth rune was hidden and not visible. If he wrote the water rune, it would surely gather the surrounding water vapor, making the study room damp, which was not appropriate. So Zhao Yun decided to write the wind rune.

The power of the brush strokes penetrates the back of the paper as it falls, and magic power and charm are infused into every stroke!

But unfortunately, ordinary white paper, like the wooden barrel with holes everywhere, cannot bear the charm of magic. The magic charm that Zhao Yun integrated into every stroke of the rune began to dissipate...

In an instant, a small whirlwind swirled around the white paper, like an elf, lively and agile.

But just like a mayfly, after its agility, it dies...

The Golden Light Wizard lightly hooked his finger, and the whirlwind wrapped in the white paper runes fell into his hands.

He restrained the power of wind that had just been displayed on the white paper rune, and looked at the 'wind' rune quietly for a while, his eyes full of admiration for Zhao Yun.

"Boy, you really have a certain talent in the art of talismans. But you are unwilling to learn from me... Let's put it this way, if you have any questions when you are trying to comprehend the runes, you can ask me at any time." Master Jin Guang's words were sincere and heartfelt.

It is truly kind of a person who has no relatives or friends to be willing to pass on his knowledge to others.

Zhao Yun said gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness, Master. I will definitely bother you more in the future."

Master Jin Guang waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. Take the stack of yellow talisman paper on the table and use it."

Zhao Yun said quickly: "Master, I am only taking a few. How dare I take them all? If I take them all, you will be left with nothing."

Master Jin Guang said again: "Take them all away, I still have a lot of stock here."

Having said this, Zhao Yun could no longer refuse.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Master. Master Sun and I just hunted two vipers in the grassland today. I will bring you a bowl of snake soup tomorrow evening."

"Well, if you have any questions about runes, feel free to ask me."

Master Jin Guang nodded slightly, and Zhao Yun knew what to do.

Afterwards, Zhao Yun left happily.

However, he turned a corner and did not go directly back to his yard.

Master Jin Guang was willing to teach him rune knowledge. Although it was a two-way street, he still had to make this matter clear to Master Sun, lest Master Sun find out about it in the future, which would be bad.

If I say it clearly, given Master Sun's temper, he will definitely agree.

But if you secretly learn from other masters without making it clear, then that would be wrong for a disciple.

When Zhao Yun arrived at Master Sun's yard, he happened to see Butcher Liu walking back from the backyard corridor with a hoe on his shoulder.

Moreover, Butcher Liu's burly body was covered in sweat.

The hoe was still stained with some dirt in the moonlight.

When Zhao Yun saw the state of Butcher Liu, he knew that he was preparing for the initiation ceremony, and said with a smile:

"Brother Liu, how much of that wasteland has been reclaimed? Ask me to join you when you enter the Dao, so that I can be a witness."

Butcher Liu was pleased to see Zhao Yun willing to come, and his mood instantly brightened:
"We have just reclaimed half an acre of wasteland, and Master Sun has calculated the weather. The moonlight will be bright in the night of about five days, which meets the requirements of the ritual... When the night of my initiation comes, I will definitely invite Brother Zhao to witness it together."

"I want to congratulate Brother Liu." Zhao Yun congratulated him in advance and asked, "By the way, is Brother Liu free tomorrow evening? I plan to invite a group of friends to sit down and have a simple meal in my yard."

Butcher Liu put down the hoe on his shoulder. The hoe hit the ground with a dull sound. He thought for a moment and then said:
"I have time. But you also know my situation. I am about to enter the Dao, and I am looking forward to it, but I still have half an acre of land that has not been reclaimed... So if there is wine at the dinner tomorrow evening, I have to drink less, so as not to work overtime at night. Or if I get up late the next morning, I will definitely be scolded by Master Sun."

Zhao Yun knew what was going on. "I've asked the kitchen to help prepare the food, but we're still short of some good wine. I'll go get some fruit wine tomorrow, and we can all drink less..."

In addition, in this era with a long tradition, the types of wine are as numerous as the stars in the night sky, but white wine has never been the mainstream of consumption.

The fruit wine carefully brewed from fresh and juicy kiwifruit exudes a fresh and attractive fruity aroma... The wine brewed from grapes is mellow and rich in color, like a deep purple gem... And the monkey wine produced by the monkeys specially trained in the mountains is full of spiritual energy...

Rice wine and yellow wine are the mainstream consumer choices.

Especially rice wine, which is like an elegant and noble lady, and is a wine worthy of being served in a refined hall.

Also, although the ban on alcohol in the military camp applies to everyone, in reality, the main control is on the soldiers on patrol.

As for logistics, it is relatively relaxed.

Just like the last time, when Zhao Yun returned from home and reported those barbarian spies to Master Sun, he met a group of prison officers in the No. 2 Fat Pig Prison who were eating and drinking meat at will, and no one came to discipline them.

Therefore, privately, if Zhao Yun invited a few people to dinner and drinks, there would be no problem as long as he did not do it in public and in front of everyone.

After Zhao Yun had agreed with Butcher Liu, he knocked twice on Master Sun's door and then pushed it open and walked in.

Sun Zhengxuan frowned slightly and asked, "Why? You haven't talked enough with me this afternoon, so why are you here again at night?"

Zhao Yun replied, "Master, the bodies of the two barbarians I killed earlier have been refined by Master Jin Guang to reveal their special properties and turned into special treasures. They are very effective to use and have very few side effects. I came here to report this to you, Master."

Sun Zhengxuan waved his hand and said, "You can handle those little things yourself. I don't need your little treasures."

Zhao Yun chuckled and continued, "Master, there is one more thing I need to tell you: I have a little talent in runes. When Master Jin Guang saw me this evening, he called me a genius and even said he wanted to take me in as his apprentice."

Zhao Yun paused briefly, looked at Master Sun's unhappy face, and continued:
"But I flatly refused. And Master Jin Guang also said that if I have any questions about my study of runes, I can always ask him. So I came here specifically to talk to you, Master."

Sun Zhengxuan was furious at Jin Guang for daring to poach his girlfriend!
He is just a coward, not worthy of being consulted.

But he said, "I didn't expect that old guy would be so shameless as to trick you into changing your path, but you should just refuse him. If there are any runes you don't know how to draw, just come to me. I'm also proficient in the art of runes..."

When Sun Zhengxuan was talking to Zhao Yun, he was also thinking about how to beat Jin Guang up.

But he squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, and felt that the golden light did have some profound attainments in the art of runes.
