Li Xuan doesn't care at all about the rumors and satire in Chiji Town.
Since arriving in the town, he would stay in his room and sleep during the day, and go to the pub to get drunk at night. This lasted for several days, and gradually everyone got used to his presence.
That night, Li Xuan didn't stagger back to his cabin until the pub closed at midnight.
Turning around and closing the door, the confusion in Li Xuan's drunken eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by two gleams of light. He still looked like a drunk person.
Coming to the table, Li Xuan took out a notebook from the drawer.
When I opened the notebook, I saw that it was filled with Chinese characters from Earth.
In the Wulunfeng world, this should be the most difficult password, and only Li Xuan can understand it.
The notebook was already filled with more than a dozen pages. Li Xuan took out his pen again and wrote down the news he had learned today.
If anyone thinks that Li Xuan just drinks every day, they are totally wrong.
The tavern is a distributing center for information. If you want to get familiar with a place’s customs, customs and various secrets, it is absolutely right to go to the tavern to inquire.
After a few days, Li Xuan has become familiar with everyone in the tavern. Just a few seemingly casual inquiries are enough to find out many things.
Li Xuan quickly recorded another article, and then turned to the last page of his notebook, where there was a simple map of the town.
After looking carefully, Li Xuan drew circles on two places with a pen.
After several days of research, these are the two most questionable places.
If there are still dark cloud thieves lurking and operating in Chiji Town, these two places are the most likely.
"Go here tomorrow and have a look!"
Li Xuan thought for a while, then placed the tip of his pen on one of the circles and whispered to himself.
At noon the next day, Li Xuan, who usually didn't get up until the afternoon, appeared in the town and wandered towards the east.
"Master Li Xuan, where are you going so early?"
The waiter in the tavern happened to be out shopping, and he greeted Li Xuan when he met him.
Li Xuan said: "I'll collect taxes!"
The bartender was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Li Xuan was sent by the Li family to manage Chiji Town, and was in charge of matters such as public security and taxation. However, Li Xuan had never done anything serious since he arrived in the town. Everyone blamed this
forget.
Li Xuan was indeed there to collect taxes. He came to the east end of the town and went door to door to collect this year's head tax.
However, he didn't seem to understand tax collection at all. He just ran into other people's yards and had a chat with the owner. No matter what ridiculous reasons the other party used to delay, Li Xuan believed them.
Soon Li Xuan arrived outside a small courtyard in the northeast corner of the village. He wandered around for a long time, but his real destination was actually here.
Standing outside the courtyard, Li Xuan was about to knock on the door and enter. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly. He actually had a sense that there was some kind of power that attracted him gradually growing in the small courtyard in front of him.
"Spell formation?
Someone is refining an immortal talisman?
But there seems to be something wrong with this power fluctuation..." Li Xuan frowned, "The spirit stone powder is no problem, the demon blood ink is no problem, the Xuanhua leaves are no problem... Hehe, there is something wrong with the talisman paper!"
Li Xuan just sensed it casually and immediately realized that the person who was making the immortal talisman was on the verge of failure.
Sure enough, the next second, there was a "click" in the small courtyard, which was obviously the immortal talisman shattered! "Damn, it failed again! I don't believe that I can't even handle a first-order immortal talisman!"
A rather unconvinced voice sounded.
Li Xuan narrowed his eyes. Could this person in the yard who failed to refine the immortal talisman be the Black Cloud Thief?
He hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and knocked on the door, as if nothing had happened and said, "Is anyone at home? I'm here to collect taxes!"
"Come in!"
An angry voice sounded in the yard.
Li Xuan raised his hand to open the door and walked into the small courtyard.
I saw an old man in the yard with gray hair and beard, about sixty or seventy years old, wearing a wrinkled gray robe.
The old man's hair was as messy as a bird's nest. He was sitting crookedly on a stone bench. On his left hand side was a pile of materials for refining immortal talismans. On his right side was a pile of talisman paper. At his feet was a pile of failures.
The trash behind.
Judging from the amount of garbage, the old man must have failed several times! "Is this a tax collection? There is a money bag on the table with silver in it. Take it yourself!"
The old man muttered, grabbed another piece of talisman paper, and angrily swiped the demon blood ink upwards.
Seeing this scene, Li Xuan couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
His voice was very small and the distance was far away, but the old man heard it all of a sudden, raised his head suddenly and looked over with two eyes! "Boy, what are you sighing in a ghostly manner over there, are you laughing at me?"
The old man's eyes widened, looking like he was about to get angry.
It seemed that he was planning to find someone unlucky to vent his anger on his failure, but Li Xuan bumped into him.
Li Xuan shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that!"
"Then what do you mean?"
The old man shouted unceremoniously, "You don't look like you understand talisman formations!"
Li Xuan shook his head and said: "I dare not say that I understand the talisman formation very well, but I know that if you don't stop, you may get hurt!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
The old man blew his beard and stared.
?"I mean if you apply too much demon blood ink, the talisman paper will explode!"
Li Xuan said.
The old man was furious and said: "Fart, you still had your crotch open when I was refining the immortal talisman..." "Bang!"
Before he finished speaking, a muffled sound exploded in the small courtyard, and a piece of powder flew up into the sky, making the small courtyard full of smoke! "Cough, cough, cough!"
A violent coughing sound rang out from the smoke. The old man, covered in dust and red ink, rushed to Li Xuan in a state of embarrassment.
"You...you know about talisman formations?"
The old man's coughing stopped for a moment, and he asked Li Xuan curiously.
"I know a little bit..." Li Xuan said.
"Why don't I feel like it? You are a little too young."
The old man looked Li Xuan up and down, and muttered, "Tell me, what materials are needed for the first-level crazy demon talisman?"
Li Xuan said: "The carrier is talisman paper, painted with demon blood ink, and the main material is Xuanhua leaves.
This is the simplest first-level immortal talisman. Generally speaking, even if it fails, it will not cause an explosion, so sir... your craftsmanship is really impressive."
"I'm very impressed." What does it mean to hurt someone without using bad words? This is it! The old man didn't seem to understand Li Xuan's sarcasm. He stayed for a moment and said: "It seems that you really understand... Then tell me why.
Will it explode?"
Li Xuan smiled and said: "There are many reasons for failure in making immortal talismans. As for the reason for your failure, old man, it is actually not a problem with the craftsmanship, but a problem with the selection of the talisman paper."
"impossible!"
The old man immediately shook his head, "I use the best green talisman paper, there can be no problem!"
