During this time, I have been practicing drawing characters every day.
When I have nothing to do, I just read the various talisman, feng shui and other books that Master gave me.
I have been influenced by my ears and my eyes, and I have already gained a certain understanding and mastery of the various techniques of drawing talisman.
In addition, the fire element opening sword talisman is not complicated, so it is smooth to draw now.
Pure and clear, with a low heart.
Look at the Nandou on the right and the Seven Stars on the left.
…
I muttered in a low voice, imitating every movement that Master had just made in drawing the talisman.
Soon, the sword-opening talisman was drawn.
And it was a success.
"Master, it's done!"
I spoke happily.
Master smiled and nodded, quite satisfied with my results.
He asked me to try the sword.
Then, I followed my master's example and took the mahogany sword and used the sword-opening talisman to slide it on the sword.
He shouted:
"Open the sword!"
As a result, the spell didn't react at all, and there was no burning or release.
Directly, it slipped and fell to the ground...
"Master, why didn't you succeed?"
I frowned and wanted to ask Master what the problem was.
The master now picked up his pipe and said with a smile:
"How can it be so easy to succeed? Have you forgotten what my teacher taught you when you were learning talismans?
Be calm, sincere, and clear.
Drawing a sword is like drawing a talisman, it's frizzy, how can it be successful?"
After hearing this, I was silent for a moment.
He picked up the charm that fell on the ground and took a few breaths quietly.
Feel the state when you draw the "evil-suppressing talisman".
Master was just smoking next to me, looking very ecstatic and not bothering me.
It wasn't until a while later that I twisted the sword-opening talisman with my sword fingers.
Slip on the mahogany sword:
"Open the sword!"
But this time, the charm never fell to the ground.
As soon as it was drawn from the sword, it burned with a "buzz" sound and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
The mahogany sword in his hand also suddenly reacted.
I clearly feel that the handle position has a little warm feeling.
I'm a little excited:
"Master, it's successful!"
Master nodded with satisfaction:
"Yes, yes, you are indeed what you need to eat this bowl of rice. It's very good."
Starting tomorrow, you will practice this sword-opening talisman more.
Until you can use the sword without using talismans..."
Master spoke seriously and taught me many essentials, and I benefited a lot.
Afterwards, I continued to practice in the shop for two or three hours...
Although the drawing method of opening the sword talisman is simple, there are high requirements when using the opening sword talisman.
After practicing all night, I still haven't mastered it 100%.
Not to mention doing what the master said, no talisman required, just using fingerprints to open the sword.
Because it was already late, Master didn't let me go back.
He said he would stay in the shop tonight and practice again tomorrow.
Seeing that it was almost twelve o'clock, I said "hmm" and prepared to wash up and go to bed.
Master didn't get a good rest last night either. Now he was breathing heavily and turned off the computer.
But at this moment, there were knocks on the door outside the house.
“Dong, dong dong dong, dong, dong dong dong…”
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Master and I both turned our heads.
When I heard the rhythmic knocking on the door, my face instantly darkened.
A man knocks three times, a ghost knocks four times.
Although I encountered a similar situation in a rental house last time, it was still a misunderstanding.
But in the middle of the night, I still felt a little scared.
He looked back at Master and said with surprise:
"Teacher, Master. There are four knocks on this door. Do you want to open it?"
The master was just stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his composure.
He waved his hand:
"It's okay, I should be buying clothes.
You go deal with it.
I’m sleepy, so I’m going to sleep first…”
After saying that, the master took a breath and went into the back room.
I watched Master leave, then looked back at the door that was still ringing, feeling a chill run down my back.
Our shop is for casual business.
All they sell are incense, candles, paper money, shrouds and coffins.
If you come here to buy clothes this late at night, I’m afraid the person who comes here may not be a living person...
He shook his shoulders and swallowed.
Just follow what Master said and prepare to open the door and deal with it.
"Dong, dong dong dong dong..."
"Here we go, stop knocking!"
I responded to the door.
The knocking on the door stopped abruptly after I responded.
When I came to the door, I took a deep breath.
With a little nervousness, I unlocked the bolt and opened the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I felt a burst of cold air hit my face.
Immediately afterwards, I saw an old couple standing at the gate with pale faces, gray pupils, slightly stooped figure, and wearing shabby gray cloth clothes.
They supported each other and smiled pale and colorless smiles.
When I saw these two people, my first impression was that something was wrong with them.
The skin is too white and the pupils are gray.
Moreover, I subconsciously glanced at the ground.
Sure enough, there was no shadow...
You can be 100% sure that this couple is dirty.
But the pupils are gray, indicating that they are not hostile.
They should be just ordinary wandering ghosts.
I looked at them and said nothing.
The little old man with thinning hair now bowed his hand to me.
Then he said to me hoarsely:
"Brother, we and I are here in a hurry.
It's cold late at night and I want to buy something to wear.
Please make it easier, brother.
Sell two pieces of clothing to keep me and my wife warm from the cold..."
