I'm catching monsters in Liaozhai

"How did grandpa get this extremely sharp broken sword and this book of talismans?"

Xu Lang wondered about his grandfather's identity and origin.

In his memory, his grandfather has always been an ordinary person.

However, these should not be available to ordinary people.

But doubts were doubts, and Xu Lang didn't worry too much.

Suddenly getting two treasures, especially this Talisman Book, he couldn't wait to try out the effects.

As a scholar, the four treasures of the study are pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

But what is needed to draw the talisman is not ordinary paper or ordinary ink, but Zhiyang materials such as cinnabar and yellow mounting paper.

There are no two kinds of Xu Lang.

but.

Maybe there is one at neighbor Aunt Bai's house.

Aunt Bai's wife, Uncle Bai, was a charlatan in his early years and often traveled extensively.

On the way to practice medicine, it is inevitable that you will encounter some lonely ghosts. Yellow mounted paper is also called yellow paper, which has the effect of suppressing ghosts and driving away evil spirits.

Cinnabar is an auxiliary product for some medicines, such as calming the mind and calming the mind, replenishing qi and improving eyesight.

Although Uncle Bai has no longer left the world, he should still be here to some extent.

Arrive at Aunt Bai’s house.

The courtyard door is open.

Xu Lang didn't see Aunt Bai, but there was an old man in his sixties weaving bamboo utensils in the yard.

It's Uncle Bai.

Because he had a foot disease many years ago, he no longer goes out to practice medicine and usually stays at home.

If someone comes to see a doctor, he will treat the disease; when there are no patients, he will weave bamboo utensils.

"Uncle Bai, are you busy?"

Xu Lang shouted.

"It's Xiaolang."

Uncle Bai turned around and saw Xu Lang, and quickly asked him to sit down.

Xu Lang explained his intention.

"What do you want cinnabar and yellow paper for?"

Uncle Bai asked.

Xu Lang found a reason to deal with it.

Uncle Bai said: "There should be more. Your aunt is out. I'll help you look for it in the house."

After saying that, he got up and went into the house on crutches.

Xu Lang supported him.

There is a medicinal smell in the house.

A row of shelves held various bottles and cans of medicine.

Uncle Bai first got a small porcelain bottle from it.

"This is cinnabar. I use it sparingly. If you need it, I'll give it to you. If your aunt comes back to town, I'll ask her to make up for it."

He handed the small porcelain bottle in his hand to Xu Lang.

then.

He pointed to a bamboo-backed box under the shelf and said, "Xiao Lang, please move this out."

Because his legs and feet were inconvenient, Xu Lang could only do this.

This backpack was used by Uncle Bai for medical practice. It has not been used for a long time and is covered with dust.

Uncle Bai brushed the dust off with his sleeves and opened the trunk.

It was full of things he used to practice medicine.

On top was a medical manual.

He opened it at random and looked at his notes, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.

Put the codex aside.

Then he took out a stack of yellow paper from the bottom of the trunk.

"I'll give you all these yellow talismans. Well, there's also this medical notebook. It's of no use if I keep it."

Uncle Bai put the yellow paper and the medical manual into Xu Lang's hand.

After helping Uncle Bai put the suitcase, Xu Lang returned home after staying for a while.

He took out a pen and inkstone from home, poured some cinnabar from a small porcelain bottle into the inkstone, and added a little water.

After stirring, the cinnabar turned into red ink.

Take out the yellow paper and spread it on the table.

Xu Lang started to work.

This charm looks simple, but it is not easy to draw it.

In order for the drawn spell to be effective, in addition to not allowing any deviation in any rune, spiritual power also needs to be injected into the drawing.

It took Xu Lang half a stick of incense to draw a crooked eye-opening talisman according to the gourd painting.

Just when Xu Lang was about to test the results, he suddenly remembered that there were no monsters at home, so how could he know whether the eye-opening talisman was actually effective?

He flipped through the Talisman Book and decided to draw a holding talisman.

Another half-stick of incense time has passed.

A talisman is completed.

He walked to the front yard and planned to try the effect on some old hens at home.

But there are no old hens in the yard.

I was so happy that I forgot everything.

He forgot a few old hens and old yellow dogs at home, and they were snatched away by that bastard Bai Da Chong.

Xu Lang was about to go out for a walk to see if there was anything suitable as an experimental subject, when he saw a little squirrel running out of the corner of the courtyard.

"call out--!"

Not much to say.

Xu Lang immediately threw out the immobilization charm in his hand and shouted in a low voice: "Emergency is like a law, be firm."

The yellow paper talisman covered with runes was accurately attached to the squirrel's body. The squirrel that had been running away suddenly stopped and stopped barking.

Seeing this scene, Xu Lang burst into laughter.

"Wow, haha, I'm really a genius. I'm the only genius in the world. I succeeded in drawing the talisman for the first time."

"Zhizhi..."

next second.

The little squirrel screamed again, and because it was so frightened, it flew into a cave and disappeared in an instant.

This is not a real success, but Xu Lang is still happy in his heart.

He guessed that this was because he was not skilled enough in drawing the talisman.

With more practice, he could draw real spells.

He continued to draw the talisman with concentration.

Or draw a talisman.

This time, he drew three pictures in one go.

Every piece of work is refined and strives for perfection.

After finishing the painting, Xu Lang felt extremely tired.

This work of drawing talismans consumes too much mental and spiritual energy.

It seems that his wish to be armed with various talismans will not be realized so soon.

Just when Xu Lang was thinking about what to use to experiment with later, there was a knock on the door outside.

And Aunt Bai’s voice.

"Xiaolang, it's time to eat."

Xu Lang looked outside and saw that the sun had set before he knew it.

"I'm coming."

Xu Lang hurriedly went out.

-

"Xiaolang, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

While eating, seeing Xu Lang's face turning a little pale, Aunt Bai asked with concern.

"No, no, maybe I haven't been sleeping well recently." Xu Lang said.

"Well, judging from your face, you look a little weak." Uncle Bai, who was a traveling doctor in those days, said.

"You should go to bed early tonight." Aunt Bai said.

Xu Lang finished the last bite of rice in the bowl as fast as a cook, and said: "Uncle, aunt, I'm full, you guys eat slowly."

He was thinking about the charms at home.

"There's still a lot of rice in the pot, please eat more."

Seeing Xu Lang getting up to leave, Aunt Bai stopped him, "Is it that the food Auntie cooked today didn't suit your taste?"

"No, aunt, I'm full. Isn't the county exam coming soon? I have to hurry up and study." Xu Lang said.

"That's okay, but you have to take a break while studying. Don't be too tired." Aunt Bai said.

"Okay, auntie, I'll go back first."

Xu Lang walked out of the door and saw the chickens in the new chicken coop in the courtyard. An idea flashed in his mind, and he turned to Aunt Bai and said, "Auntie, can you lend me one of those chickens?"

"You want to eat chicken?" Aunt Bai was surprised.

"No."

"Then what do you use it for?"

"It's used for reading. Isn't it said that when you hear the chicken, you will dance? I think the chicken is a good symbol and will bring me good luck." Xu Lang said casually.

"Oh, that's it. Then you can take it. If one is enough, if not, take a few more..." Aunt Bai said.

"Just one will do." Xu Lang said.

Just like that, Xu Lang went home with a little hen.
