Although drawing talismans is a very basic skill for most wizards, there are very few wizards who are good at drawing talismans. In the wizarding world, masters who are good at making talismans have always been very rare.
Because of this, Zheng Qing's amazing performance in the Talisman class quickly spread throughout the school.
Every student is full of curiosity about the rumored "Kunlun Descendant" who can skillfully outline all the basic talismans.
On weekdays, out of politeness, everyone suppresses this curiosity in their hearts.
But today, Zheng Qing successfully aroused everyone's curiosity.
The desk placed in front of the bar, the Four Treasures of the Study with complete pen and ink, and the ritual of burning incense and praying, this posture clearly means that Zheng Qing is about to demonstrate his ability as the "Successor of Kunlun".
The onlookers were gearing up, looking even more nervous than Zheng Qing at the desk.
Everyone held their breath and stared at the rabbit hair purple pen in Zheng Qing's hand.
Even the bar owner, the gray-robed wandering mage, also focused his attention on Zheng Qing.
The colorful lights and music in the bar have been quieted at the boss's command.
The candles floating above the hall formed a ring, converging on Zheng Qing's head; the light blue firelight had turned white at some point, burning brightly, projecting a shadowless bright world on the floor.
Because the light sources were concentrated on Zheng Qing's head, the back of the bar seemed a little dim, and only a row of flashing light green light spots could be seen. Those were the glowing wings and tentacles of the elves. These little guys were sitting quietly above the bartender.
, with his mouth closed and not making a single noise.
Zheng Qing closed his eyes, feeling the oppressive silence, breathing slowly, his shoulders rising and falling slowly with his breathing, but his elbows and wrists seemed to be made of iron, motionless.
The white light above his head fell on the top of his head.
Falling on his shoulders and elbows.
fell on his wrist.
Falling on the tip of the pen which is full of ink.
The ink seeps out along the gaps and gathers into beads at the tip of the pen;
Zheng Qing remained slightly motionless.
The ink beads gathered bigger and bigger, and finally broke free from the shackles of the rabbit hair under the action of gravity, and fell freely to the yellow paper.
"Yeah!" Several short exclamations from girls came from the crowd.
Zheng Qing still closed his eyes, but the pen in his hand seemed to be pulled by the drop of red ink, and then fell towards the paper.
The drop of free red ink fell on the yellow paper, as if it was going to break through the paper.
The purple pen followed, and the tip of the pen accurately touched the drop of ink before it fell onto the paper.
A meal, a pen,
One leveling, one rendering.
The tip of the pen dances like a dance, pulling each other with the free drop of ink, like a wild horse running wild on the yellow paper.
There were sighs of admiration among the onlookers.
A few students standing in the front row even involuntarily made gestures to hold their pens, imitating Zheng Qing's movements of putting down and moving the pen.
The writing is completed in one stroke, and the beautiful painting is produced in one go.
Between breaths, a complex and gorgeous talisman appeared in front of everyone.
When the pen was finished, Zheng Qing put the purple hair back on the turtle's back and let it suck the ink from the inkstone again.
And he raised his left hand, put the tip of his thumb into his mouth, bit it hard, pulled it, and then pressed the bloody finger on the outlined talisman paper to cross the talisman's foot.
The onlookers were silent.
No one expected that Zheng Qing would use such a radical method of sealing spirits.
For wizards, drawing talismans represents a 'dilemma'.
One of the dilemmas is to draw the runes. Without the guidance of a famous teacher and a solid foundation, it is easy to make mistakes when drawing the runes. Maybe a certain stroke in the outline is deviated by four or five degrees, which will make the expression of the rune completely different from the original version.
Effect.
Another difficulty is filling the spirit. Gather the momentum before writing, draw the spirit when writing, and return the breath after finishing the pen. The methods of filling the spirit are different in different inheritance schools, but all the methods of filling the spirit pay attention to the consistency of the body and mind, and the coordination of breathing.
.Many wizards have disordered breathing and unsettled minds when outlining the characters, which makes it easy for them to fail in instilling spirits.
After the dilemma, the talisman was 99% complete.
It’s just that those who travel a hundred miles only get half a mile.
In the end, many wizards were disgraced.
This is the final calamity of the talisman: sealing the spirit.
Seal the spirit, literally means the spirit that seals this talisman, but in reality it is the same.
After each talisman is completed, the spiritual energy will continue to be lost as time goes by. If it is not banned, the spiritual energy poured into the talisman may disappear in the blink of an eye.
During the long period of practice, wizards have explored different methods of sealing spirits.
The most common one is the ‘spiritual sealing talisman’.
The sealing talisman is to add a cipher text to the foot of the completed talisman. This cipher text is like a shackle, which can lock the soul on the talisman. Different schools have different ways of writing cipher text, and the effects are also very different. Some
The cipher text can lock the inspiration for decades, and some cipher text will be destroyed by the inspiration after a few hours.
The shortcomings of this method are more than that. The writing method of each cipher text is extremely complicated. Sometimes it only takes a minute to outline a complete talisman, but it takes half an hour to write the cipher text of this talisman! In a small space
The foot of the talisman outlines complex cipher text, which is a great test for the wizard. If you are not careful, all your previous efforts will be wasted.
In addition, there is a relatively rare way of sealing spirits, which is the ‘spiritual seal’.
The sealing seal is a magical weapon specially made for sealing the spiritual machine. After the wizard has finished drawing the talisman, he only needs to hold the seal, use cinnabar ink mud, cover it on the talisman paper, and you are done. This method has a very high success rate.
, but because of the expensiveness and rarity of magic weapons, only the masters of talisman making have the capital to use the Spirit Seal.
In addition to the first two widely circulated methods of sealing spirits, there is also a crude, quick, and effective method of sealing spirits in the wizarding world, but few people use it - blood sealing.
As the name suggests, blood sealing means sealing spirits with blood.
After the talisman is completed, the wizard who draws the talisman only needs to use a few drops of his own blood to apply it on the foot of the talisman and make a few checkmarks, and the spirit is sealed.
This method of sealing spirits is simple and efficient, and the effect of sealing spirits is excellent.
Most of the blood-sealing talismans are valid for more than one year!
It's just that everything comes with pros and cons.
On the one hand, this method of sealing spirits is relatively barbaric and seems a bit out of place in the increasingly civilized modern wizarding world; on the other hand, the talismans produced in this way can easily reveal the secrets of wizards.
There are hundreds of examples in the "Encyclopedia of the Wizarding World" about wizards accidentally dropping a few drops of blood, which were obtained by their opponents and then cast a curse, with tragic endings.
To this day, few wizards will use this painful and extremely risky method of sealing spirits unless they need a talisman urgently.
In the wandering bar, the onlookers watched in silence as Zheng Qing bit his finger and sealed his soul with blood.
No one expected him to use such drastic tactics.
Some onlookers who wanted to get a glimpse of the 'Kunlun Secret Text' could not help but be disappointed.
But more students had expressions of admiration on their faces.
Not everyone has the courage to bite their own fingers.
Not every wizard has the guts to spill his own blood outside the laboratory.
Zheng Qing was completely unaware of the silent atmosphere around him.
He still closed his eyes, brewing the momentum of the next talisman.
The completed Qingxin Talisman was gently tapped by him with his fingers and transported smoothly to Xiao Xiao's hand not far away.
Xiao Xiao took the talisman, picked the right moment, and released it to the sleeping Li Meng.
