While I was thinking about it, Li Bowen came back.
This time he also had something extra in his hands.
One is the Bagua Mirror mentioned in the book.
There is also a stack of yellow paper.
There's just nothing on the yellow paper, it's blank.
Li Bowen threw the thing to me, and then said: "This Bagua Mirror has the effect of exorcising demons and warding off evil spirits. If you take it with you, it will complement your City God's Dharma Protector Clothes and it will protect you from all ghosts."
"So powerful?" I was a little surprised.
Li Bowen looked a little pained and said, "I don't have many treasures. This is one piece. Is it powerful?"
"There are also these yellow talismans, combined with cinnabar and dog blood, you can draw various talismans. The drawn talismans will be one of your methods to conquer demons in the future."
As he spoke, Li Bowen found two boxes from the table.
One contained cinnabar, and the other contained a scarlet blood clot, with a faint smell of blood.
"Pindao will teach you how to draw talismans today."
Hearing Li Bowen say this, I suddenly became energetic.
After all, I have seen Li Bowen's talismans with my own eyes, and they are indeed powerful.
Then Li Bowen picked up the brush, dipped it in cinnabar and dog blood, and quickly drew a pattern on the yellow talisman. The pattern was very special, like words, but not like them.
"Do you understand?"
After finishing the painting, Li Bowen looked at me.
I was stunned for a moment, and the corner of my mouth couldn't help but twitch and said, "No."
Li Bowen glared at me, put away the drawn talisman, and then said: "I can see it clearly this time."
"Why are you so stupid?"
I really want to refute.
Because Li Bowen's painting speed is so fast.
After thinking about it, I gave up the idea. After all, Li Bowen was really teaching me my skills, even if he seemed reluctant.
It's just that maybe I really don't have that talent. Although I always focused on watching every stroke of Li Bowen's strokes, after he finished painting, I could only remember a small part of the strokes when I looked at them again.
This also made Li Bowen look very angry, but he could only demonstrate to me over and over again, and the speed became slower and slower.
I don’t know how many times it took me to finally memorize every step of his strokes.
But when I drew a talisman with difficulty, the talisman burned out of thin air.
I don't understand something.
Li Bowen said it was because I was not sincere and had problems with my strokes. Anyway, he just wanted me to practice more.
I had no choice but to try again and again. It wasn't until the evening that I finally drew the first talisman completely.
I thought I had mastered it, but Li Bowen threw me another book. I opened it and saw that it was full of talismans, and each one was different.
Seeing that I was shocked, Li Bowen said calmly: "The one Pindao asked you to draw before was just a simple amulet."
"This talisman book records all the talismans of Pindao's lineage. If you can master them all, you will be considered a master."
"Is this the beginning?"
I'm a little surprised.
But Li Bowen told me directly with practical actions, why is it an introduction?
I watched him suddenly make seals with both hands, and a moment later he used the index finger of his right hand as a pen to fiddle with the air without any yellow paper. A moment later, there was a floating talisman in front of me.
Different from the talisman made of ruined yellow paper, the moment the talisman painted by Li Bowen appeared, even the air seemed to be a little more depressing.
Li Bowen glanced at me, then waved his hand to erase the talisman and said, "Do you understand?"
After a long time, I came back to my senses and continued reading the talisman book honestly.
When Li Bowen saw this, he looked at me seriously and said, "You still have a long way to go."
"If you can master these two books."
"It will be of great benefit to you."
"But the Qimen Bagua and Feng Shui mystical arts can't be understood just by looking at them."
"Especially the Feng Shui mysticism. The experts in the world of strange people who are best at touching gold, unloading mountains, moving mountains, and making mountains are actually not of much use to you."
"You can read more about Qimen Bagua, and then learn more from Pindao."
"As for that method."
"Once you can draw all the talismans, it will be easy to master them."
I nodded as I listened.
Li Bowen's words gave me a direction.
If he hadn't told me, I might have struggled with that book for a long time.
I started to continue reading the talisman book.
Indeed, as Li Bowen said, the first amulet I drew had the fewest steps and was also the simplest, which immediately gave me a headache.
After looking through it for a long time, I finally selected five talismans as what I would draw next.
These five talismans are collectively called the Five Elements Talisman.
The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth.
After using the gold talisman, you can temporarily possess copper skin and iron bones, the wooden talisman can restore your energy and spirit, the water talisman can protect you from water, the earth talisman can protect you from earth, and the fire talisman can protect you from fire.
Of course, this is just an explanation on the talisman book. I don't know if it is really that powerful.
And these five talismans are already the simplest apart from the immobilization talisman, and I don’t have to choose.
It wasn't until nightfall that Li Bowen went upstairs again.
It's just that during this period of time, except for the drawing of the holding talisman, I didn't make any progress on the five-element talisman.
I thought Li Bowen was here to educate me, but he asked me to go downstairs with him.
Then I remembered that he told me before that he wanted me to go to a place with him.
What I didn't expect was.
This will also be my first real contact with a ghost.
The place Li Bowen took me to was a big house.
When we arrived, the house was already surrounded. Some onlookers looked at it from a distance but did not dare to get close.
The house also has three floors.
However, at first glance, the second and third floors are already covered with a layer of black shadow, like mist.
The onlookers immediately got out of the way when they saw Li Bowen.
Not long after, a middle-aged man hurried up to Li Bowen and begged, "Dao Zhang, you have to help me with this matter."
"This is the only restaurant I rely on for my meals."
Li Bowen said calmly: "Pindao, go up first and take a look."
After saying that, Li Bowen glanced at me and motioned for me to join him.
I didn't refuse and followed Li Bowen directly into the house.
There was nothing wrong with the first floor, it looked normal, and it didn't give me any discomfort.
Li Bowen took me directly to the second floor.
As soon as I reached the second floor, a bone-chilling chill rushed towards me in an instant. But the next moment, the Bagua mirror given to me by Li Bowen lit up with a soft light, and the chill disappeared without a trace at the same time.
Li Bowen took out a candle from his body, lit it and handed it to me.
"What happened here?" I asked, taking the candle.
"This restaurant owner is quite courageous."
"On the second floor, red things are done, but on the third floor, white things are done."
"When red and white collide, something will happen." Li Bowen said calmly.
