Master Fu does not envy immortals

Chapter 38 Introducing the Wolf
Immortal world.

In a magnificent palace.

Eight huge incense burners were placed in the corners, and thick white smoke evaporated from the holes on the incense burners, covering the entire palace in a smoky haze.

There was no one in the palace, and a huge statue of a spirit beast was placed above it. The whole body was hidden in the smoke, making it difficult to see clearly.

The statue suddenly opened its mouth and let out a dull voice: "Is Yuan Rou dead?"

A white light lit up below, and another voice came from it: "Exactly, have you even heard of it?"

"Unfortunately," sighed the statue, "has the body been found?"

"No, when our people rushed, the body had already been burned by the refugees."

"The storage ring must have been taken back."

"...Yes." The voice in the white light paused for a moment, and asked, "Is there anything important in Yuanrou's storage ring?"

"It's nothing, it's just that she hasn't handed in the last task, I don't know if she has completed it or not." The statue said, "But it's nothing important. It's just a secret book about talismans. If you lose it, just throw it away."

……

In a valley surrounded by mountains and rivers.

When Jiang Qiongxing first came here, she thought that she could live a life of seclusion like a fairy, but she didn't expect that this was just the beginning of her suffering.

Drawing symbols is much more difficult than she imagined.

"The first-level talismans are divided into four categories: defense, healing, evil spirits, and body protection. The middle-level talismans are divided into..." She suddenly remembered something when she read this, and asked Shi Yueren, "Uncle, then which level does the appearance talisman and communication talisman you showed me before belong to?"

"There is no rank. If you insist, it belongs to the entry-level daily life category." Shi Yue, who was sitting not far away fishing, said humanely.

Uh……

Jiang Qiongxing lowered his head and continued to read: "...when there is a deviation when drawing the talisman, it may cause hematemesis and spiritual disorder, and in severe cases, it may lead to rapid aging, broken meridians, and even death..."

Oh my god, it's so scary.

Goosebumps immediately appeared on her spine.

"Don't worry about it," Shi Yueren said calmly, "As long as you are a cultivator, you will face such risks, just like ordinary people walking on the road will have the risk of being hit by a carriage. It is a very small probability event, so don't worry too much."

Jiang Qiongxing laughed dryly: "Hehe, that's good."

Shi Yueren put down his fishing rod, came to the yard, and took out the tools needed to draw talismans from the storage ring: "It's enough to read those popular sciences, and you will naturally memorize them after a long time. Everything needs to be practiced to be effective—let's draw the simplest talisman first."

He took out a finished product and put it in front of Jiang Qiongxing, asking her to follow the drawing.

Jiang Qiongxing looked at the talisman that was as complicated as a maze, and was dumbfounded: Is this the simplest?

"Remember, drawing a talisman needs to be done in one go, as long as the spiritual power stagnates slightly in the middle, there will be a risk of being backlashed."

"What will happen to the backlash?" Jiang Qiongxing asked.

"Didn't you read it yourself just now?"

Jiang Qiongxing gradually solidified.

vomiting blood?Meridian rupture or even death?
"Hehe..." She smiled miserably, "Is there any ordinary paper and pen for ordinary people? I'll practice first."

……

Jiang Qiongxing adapted well to the secluded life in the valley.

But Shi Yueren is different. He likes to travel in mountains and rivers. He stays in one place for a long time, which is similar to being in prison. He starts to fidget within two days.

After holding back for a few days, he finally found a suitable reason to go out: "You draw first, I'll go out and buy a jug of wine."

Jiang Qiongxing, who was sitting in the yard drawing a talisman, didn't think much, and agreed without raising his head.

Shi Yueren couldn't wait to leave, and before leaving, he said: "I'm in a nearby village and town, I'll be back soon, if there is anything, please contact me with a communication symbol."

"Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore." Jiang Qiongxing sat on the stone bench, shaking his feet that couldn't reach the ground, and said old-fashionedly.

Shi Yueren was amused by watching, relieved, and left the valley.

Outside the valley, there are continuous green waves, constantly rising and falling with the wind.

Near noon, there is faint smoke from cooking in the distance, and the time is quiet.

Shi Yueren came to a nearby town, walked through the streets and alleys familiarly, walked around to the door of a winery, and took out a few copper plates.

It's been a long time since I left the valley.

The owner of the winery squinted his eyes and looked at him for a moment: "Are you... brother Shi's father?"

Shi Yue paused, then laughed for a moment and said, "Yes, we look alike, right?"

Because of using the forbidden technique before, his appearance has aged a lot, but he didn't expect that the boss could still recognize him, which made him feel a little bit of the joy of being missed.

"Where is Brother Shi? He hasn't been here for a long time," the boss filled the wine gourd for him, and continued without waiting for him to be moved, "He still owes me three copper coins for the wine."

The smile on Shi Yueren's lips froze instantly, and after a moment of silence, he took out three copper coins: "...I'll give it."

At the end of the alley, among the inconspicuous piles of debris, a gray beggar curled up, slowly raised his eyelids, and stared at Shi Yueren's hand.

After receiving the arrears, the wine shop owner's attitude suddenly became more polite, and he handed the wine gourd back to Shi Yueren: "Come again next time."

Shi Yueren waved his hands in disappointment, turned around and walked back.

The little beggar didn't know what he was thinking, he stood up abruptly, and rushed over like a cannonball.

Shi Yueren was busy satisfying his hunger, so he didn't notice the harmless little thing behind him, and was caught off guard, and the wine gourd almost flew out of his hands.

He grabbed the wine he had just made, lowered his head with lingering fear, and looked at the little kid who was holding on to his belt tightly: "cough cough... brat, what are you doing?"

The little beggar didn't speak, just stared at him blankly.

"You want to drink? That's not allowed." Shi Yueren stingily put the wine gourd into the storage ring.

The owner of the winery heard the commotion here, poked his head out to take a look, and said, "This kid has been squatting here for several days. I don't know where he came from, and he can't be chased away. It's the first time to move his nest today. You might as well take him to the Salesian Bureau."

The Salesian Bureau is a residence provided by the imperial court for widowed elderly and orphans. Almost every town has one, but the treatment inside is different.

"Okay." Shi Yueren looked at the silent brat, and decided to take a few more steps and throw him in the Salesian Bureau before leaving.

The town is not big, and the Salesian Bureau is just a few steps away.

It's easy to find here, only the gate with the door frame and the dilapidated house overgrown with weeds are left. A ray of sunlight falls from the holed roof, clearly illuminating the messy interior.

Such a unique scene is none other than the Salesian Bureau.

Looking at this dilapidated and dilapidated house that even ghosts would not like to stay in, Shi Yueren was in trouble: "Is this a place where people live? Tsk..."

He looked down at the little beggar who was still holding on to his belt, and discussed with him: "How about I send you to the court—"

Before he finished speaking, a faint fragrance floated into his nose.

"Ah!" Shi Yueren sneezed heavily and rubbed his nose, "What did I just want to say? Hey, there's no time to delay, you go back with me first."

After speaking, he summoned the flying sword, picked up the little boy he picked up, and flew towards the valley.
