One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 106: 105: Talisman and Ambush
Zhao Fuyun practiced his skills every day and wrote down his ideas for the treasures he wanted to refine in a booklet.

He thought deeply.

Refining a magic weapon is not an easy task.

And the most troublesome thing here is the combination, which is equivalent to fusing water and fire together.

He felt that he still needed to find inspiration from yin and yang.

The nightmare demon is considered Yin, while the jujube wood statue is considered Yang.

He had a hunch that if he could really refine this treasure, then his practice would definitely make great progress.

After all, all laws are the understanding and application of the rules of heaven and earth.

Someone once said that the Dharma belongs to Heaven and I am just borrowing it for use.

Even gods, in the vast universe, are only standing higher and closer to the Tao. Of course, this is what was said in a book written by an ambitious monk.

For most cultivators, the norm is to earn as many spirit stones as possible today, pick a few herbs, and exchange them for a few pills.

Or you could draw a few amulets, exchange them for some money, and then buy the things you need for spiritual practice.

Some people practice by going high up, refining yin and yang, observing the stars and the world; some people practice by lowering their heads to seek a life.

Zhao Fuyun didn’t think about those things. He just wanted every day to be meaningful.

But in addition to practicing, he also went to the Chijun Temple. The old man in the temple could not help those who came to burn incense.

If Zhao Fuyun happened to meet them when he passed by there, he would take over.

For example, someone wants to buy an amulet.

Of course, you can’t say you want to buy something in the temple, you can only ask for the blessing of Lord Chiyan.

Zhao Fuyun happened to be here that day, and a pair of grandparents and grandchildren walked in. The older one was an old woman who was leaning on a cane, and next to her was a young girl who was holding a bamboo basket in one hand and the other.

The girl supported the old woman with one hand, saw the people in the temple, lowered her head to look at the road, and helped her mother-in-law over the threshold.

Judging from their clothes, their families should be well off.

The old woman was not afraid of strangers. When she saw Zhao Fuyun in the temple, she smiled and nodded. Then she took out incense from the bamboo basket, lit it, and offered it respectfully. Then she asked her granddaughter to offer it.

"Excuse me, is the temple priest here?" asked the old woman.

The substitute temple priest was named Yan Da. He said, "I have left for some business. If you want a talisman, I'm afraid you can only go to another temple."

He knew the old woman, her name was Feng Meng.

But the old woman did not recognize him. When he was a child, he followed the adults in the family to catch sharp-toothed rats in her spiritual field.

Her family was not a noble family, but they had opened some spiritual fields to grow spiritual rice, and I heard they also grew some medicinal herbs.

When the spiritual rice is about to mature, it will attract some animals to eat it. In order to save money, the owners will ask some ordinary people with relevant experience to help.

This was exactly the case in his family, but later, the adults in his family encountered an evil spirit while helping someone catch mice at night.

It is said that at that time, someone suddenly called his father's name and asked a question. His father turned around for some reason, answered a word, and then walked straight into the woods. When his companions found him, he was already dead.

He didn't go that day. After he learned the news of his father's death at home, he was completely frozen.

After the family lost its pillar, he finally grew up. Like his father, he became a helper in the spiritual field. However, he didn't work there for long before he was injured. The reason was that when he passed by a scarecrow, the scarecrow sucked away his yang energy.

Then he felt cold all over, especially in winter. Even though the winter in Guangyuan Prefecture was not cold, he was so cold that he couldn't stand it even hiding in the quilt.

So he came to the Red Flame Temple to work, because only here could he feel the warmth. He was young at that time, and the old woman was in her prime, the best age for a woman, managing a group of people, which also attracted him.

But later I heard that she fell in love with a bodyguard.

That bodyguard was different from ordinary bodyguards. He was an bodyguard who could use both yin and yang. However, he didn't know what happened to him later.

In the past few years, he recognized her, but she didn't know Yan Da.

From her conversation with Yu Miaozhu, he knew that some injuries her husband suffered while escorting a bodyguard in his early years had become more serious as he got older, and that some of the money he earned had been spent on medical treatment in recent years.

Later, she probably discovered that the talismans she obtained from Yu Miaozhu were effective and cheap, so she came here often.

"Oh." Feng Meng was a little disappointed. It's not like she hadn't been to other temples, but the talismans in this temple were the most effective.

"I wonder when Yu Miaozhu will come back?" Feng Meng asked.

"I don't know." Yan Da said.

Feng Meng was a little disappointed. She was not an ignorant person. She had seen many temple priests, but only the priest of this temple gave her a special feeling.

"Ting'er, let's go." Feng Meng called her granddaughter to leave.

"Please wait a moment." Zhao Fuyun, who was standing nearby and feeling the charm of the statue, suddenly said, "You want to ask for a talisman, right? Let me draw it for you."

Feng Meng had never met Zhao Fuyun, nor had her granddaughter, because they did not usually live in the city, but lived in the markets outside the city.

She wanted to say no, because she believed that ordinary protective talismans were useless, but Zhao Fuyun spoke again, and she did not refuse.

"Go get the talisman paper and cinnabar." Zhao Fuyun asked Yan Da to get them, and he went without any hesitation.

After coming out, Zhao Fuyun didn't even adjust his body and mind. He just raised his hand and started painting. He didn't hide it from them. They clearly saw that when the talisman pen fell, the divine light in the void condensed on the tip of the pen.

In just a moment, a talisman was drawn, and without any other requirements, it was handed over directly.

Although her cultivation was not high, she had seen many talismans, especially those she had been asking for from the temple keeper in recent years. Looking at this talisman now, she found that it was quite different from the talismans from the temple keeper in details, but the charm on it gave her the same strong feeling, as if it was shrouded in divine light.

"Thank you, Taoist priest, for the talisman. I don't know your name, but I am willing to buy it with spirit stones." Feng Meng said.

Zhao Fuyun just shook his hand, walked out of the temple, and soon disappeared into the distance.

Yan Da in the temple could not help but say, "This is the new teacher. If Madam needs such a talisman, she can go directly to the teacher next time."

"Oh, so he is the teacher. He is really young." Feng Meng said, "Thank you for telling me."

After saying that, she donated another dime into the donation box next to her.

Zhao Fuyun felt that when he met someone who needed help and it was within his ability, he would help and he did not need any extra thanks from others because he felt happy when he thought that others would get rid of some pain because of his help. Since he had already gained inner happiness, why bother about external money?

When I got home, no one was there and Master Xun had not come yet.

He was waiting because he felt that he needed Master Xun's help to refine the treasure.

But he didn't know that Xun Lanyin was surrounded by three people at this moment.

She held the Xuanyin Pearl in her left hand and the Xuanyuan Sheshui Flag in her right hand, looking at the person in front of her, but her attention seemed to be on the other two people.

"You must be Xun Lanyin, the new Purple Mansion of Tiandu Mountain. You are so domineering despite your young age. Today we will let you know that if you take someone's life at will, someone will come to end your path."

At this time, the sky is full of stars and a few night birds are chirping in the mountains.

There is fog in the distance and murderous intent nearby.
