I took the things that Master handed over and sat at the table. I dipped a brush in cinnabar and drew on the yellow paper according to the shape of the Body-hosting Talisman.
After drawing one, Zhang Sanren took it over and tore it into pieces."What are you drawing? Put more effort into it!”
"Doesn't this look like it?" I pursed my lips helplessly. I thought it was quite good!
"Take a good look at the picture on this body transfer talisman. Your starting, moving, and retracting of the brush are all completely wrong!”He rolled his eyes at me and snatched the brush from my hand."You modern people have been studying for more than ten years. What are you learning? Can't you even hold a brush properly?”
He took the brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and demonstrated it to me on the yellow paper.
He raised the brush, moved the brush, put the brush away, and combined the strokes into a talisman. In less than half a second, he had drawn it.
The pattern drawn was exactly the same as the one on the talisman.
After he finished drawing, he looked at me again. He started from the top left and drew it in one stroke! Draw another one for me to see!"
I awkwardly took the brush again and imitated his brush technique. I started from the top left and slowly drew according to the strokes.
He finished drawing a talisman in less than half a second. I was hesitant and took half a minute to finish drawing the talisman.
Although it was more similar than the last time, it still looked awkward.
Zhang Sanren picked up the yellow talisman I drew and looked at it. He sighed."Sigh, forget it. It's too late. You have to practice hard in the future. On our path of cultivation, there are yellow talismans, spiritual talismans, curse talismans, evil talismans, Yin and Yang talismans, and there are many complicated types of talismans. There are many for you to study!”
After hearing Zhang Sanren's words, I suddenly felt a headache. A single Boarding Talisman was already difficult enough to draw. It turned out that it was only a simple yellow talisman. There were many other types of talismans that were even more profound. If I learned all of them, how long would I have to learn them?
However, when I thought of my grandfather's blood feud, I secretly made up my mind. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are on the Yin Yang Road, no matter how many complicated things I have to study, I will not retreat!
In order to avenge my grandfather, I'm fearless!
After Zhang Sanren took the yellow talisman I drew, he took the brush in my hand and casually drew another body transfer talisman on the yellow paper.
Including the one I just drew, there are a total of four talismans.
Then, he took out a red string and made me form the shape of a cross. I tied the four Boarding Talismans to the backs of the four dolls.
After I did as he requested, he kept the four dolls and pulled me to the kitchen to see Mo Li and the others.
Only Mo Li was busy in the kitchen.
She was really hardworking and capable. She worked hard to cook delicious food under the kerosene lamp alone!
As soon as I entered the kitchen, I was attracted by the fragrance of delicious food.
He really didn't expect that this Mo Li, who looked tall and handsome, had a cold and arrogant expression. He didn't expect his culinary skills to be so good.
"Li 'er, how many dishes have you made!" Zhang Sanren asked anxiously.
"Master, I've already made seven dishes. They're all my best dishes!”Mo Li replied.
"Alright, bring all the dishes to a place where there's air and let the dishes cool down quickly!”Zhang Sanren ordered.
"Why, Master?" I asked.”
"Why do you care so much?”Zhang Sanren urged as he busied himself.
I quickly went up to help.
After busying herself for a while, the dishes were already cold. Mo Li made another three good dishes!
Then she said to Zhang Sanren,"Master, there are no more ingredients at home!"”
"How many dishes have you made?"
"Ten!"
"No, we can't do it alone! The eleven dishes symbolized the perfection of conversion! Think of a way to add another dish!" Zhang Sanren said seriously.
I didn't know how to cook, so I couldn't interrupt.
There were no more ingredients, and Mo Li also had a worried look on her face."But, Master, where are we going to get the ingredients? It's already so late!”
"Right!" Zhang Sanren thought for a moment and suddenly said,""A few days ago, when Master was strolling in the mountains, he saw a hanging coffin on the cliff in front of the mountain road. "The rain has been heavy these few days, and the fungus should be full. I'll bring Anne to pick it now. You stay here and watch over your senior brother and that woman!”
"Yes, Master!" Mo Li quickly agreed.
Zhang Sanren pulled me out and said,"Just in time, let me give you the second lesson!"”
He pulled me out of the courtyard and came to a small intersection down the mountain. On both sides of the intersection were towering cliffs.
The master held a flashlight and shone it on the cliff wall."Anne, what did you see?"
I shook my head.”
"Look carefully!" He waved the flashlight in his hand.
Following the light of the flashlight, there was a cave on the cliff about 17 to 18 meters from the ground.
The cave wasn't big. Through the light of the flashlight, one could see that there was a coffin inside!
"This is the hanging coffin?" I asked curiously.
Zhang Sanren nodded." It's this hanging coffin that has a lot of fungus growing on it. Take the bag and climb up to pick it for me!"”
"Master, stop joking. I'm not Spiderman. How am I supposed to climb up so high?”I said helplessly.
"For cultivators, jumping on roofs and walking on walls is only a small skill! Seeing that you don't have any Tao techniques, I won't make things difficult for you. Look at the vines on the cliff. It's not difficult for you to climb up along them. If you don't even have this bit of physical strength, I advise you not to learn the Yin Yang Tao technique. You're not cut out for it!”
Zhang Sanren's words hit me. Why am I not cut out for that? In order to avenge my grandfather, I'm willing to suffer any hardship!
"Alright, I'll climb up now and pluck it for you!"”
"Wait!" As he spoke, Zhang Sanren broke off a branch from a small willow tree by the roadside. He chanted a spell and gently stroked the branch with his hand!
He handed me the willow branch and said," This coffin has been here for more than a hundred years. No one has disturbed it for so many years. I'm afraid something bad will happen. Take this to protect yourself!”
" No, it can't be…" I was inexplicably terrified."There are zombies inside?"
"I'm not sure either. Hurry up and go!”Zhang Sanren smiled and said," This is also a test of your courage. If you're afraid of even small ghosts and monsters, how are you going to deal with powerful ghosts in the future?" Not to mention those three evil cult followers with profound Dao techniques!”
I also understood what he meant. Previously, whenever I saw a coffin, I would feel uncomfortable. If I didn't feel disgusted, I would vomit.
Now that he had seen so many terrifying things, that feeling gradually became less intense.
However, I'm still very afraid of ghosts and evil spirits. How can this continue for a long time?#
