Chapter 224: Talisman Maker
But after a while, Fu Yingmin came down from the third floor, saw Xiao Hua was slightly taken aback, then woke up, looked up and down again, a strange "color" appeared in his eyes.
"Treasurer Fu, do you still remember Pindao?" Xiao Hua stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute.
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Xiao, please sit down, but I haven't seen you for a month, how could this old man not remember?" Fu Yingmin returned the gift with a smile, went to the chair and sat down, looked at Xiao Hua with interest again and said: " Fellow Daoist Xiao, a month ago... Fellow Daoist was only at the early stage of the fourth level of Qi Refining, and in this short period of time, unexpectedly... reached the middle stage of the fourth level of Qi Refining, the speed of this cultivation really makes the poor Dao feel ashamed."
"Treasurer Fu's jokes" Xiao Hua sat down with a smile, and said: "The younger generation just had some encounters in the past month or so, this little cultivation base... Hehe, compared with the seniors, it is really not enough to look at, it will only increase the jokes up"
Shopkeeper Fu didn't ask what opportunity Xiao Hua got, took a sip of tea, and asked: "Then... Fellow Daoist Xiao came to my Fu's shop this time for..."
Seeing Shopkeeper Fu's straight-forward question, Xiao Hua no longer concealed it, and said with a smile: "This junior, of course, has gained some benefits, but after thinking about it, it is really difficult to be a casual cultivator. Both dharma and elixir are lacking, and there is no guidance from seniors, so the younger generation feels that what the shopkeeper Fu said last time is reasonable, so... "want" to join the Fu family... to practice the art of making talismans, Be a Talisman"
"Hehe, it's rare that Fellow Daoist Xiao can think clearly, and I'm very pleased." Shopkeeper Fu obviously understood Xiao Hua's intentions, and didn't seem surprised, and said with a smile: "However, in the middle of this month, there are also quite a few former casual cultivators in this shop." Come on, their aptitude is also very good, Fellow Daoist Xiao just came today, but it's a bit late."
"Ah? No way, Shopkeeper Fu, didn't you say that it's appropriate to come here within half a year?" Xiao Hua asked hurriedly with an anxious face.
"At this time and then at that time, this old man never thought that my talisman family's talisman-making technique is so popular. In just the past few days, more than a dozen fellow Taoists have come, and this old man has to select them one by one. It really takes a lot of effort."
"Ouch, Shopkeeper Fu, this matter... You still have to worry a lot, if the younger generation can join the Fu family to experience the art of making talismans, he should remember the favor of Shopkeeper Fu," Xiao Hua said, cupping his hands.
"Hey, who made this old man... agree to you that day? I can only reluctantly say something nice for you in front of the elders." Fu Yingmin said with a sigh.
"Elder?" Xiao Hua pretended to be surprised.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao Xiao knows that Liu Yun, the Hakka Elder of the Fu Family, presides over this selection. During this time, it happens to be in my Yan Yuan City. If she favors her, it will be easy to join my Fu Family," Fu Yingmin said with a smile.
"Then rely more on Senior Fu to deal with it," Xiao Hua said with a smile.
"Well, Fellow Daoist Xiao, please come with me." Fu Yingmin got up and said.
But just when Fu Yingmin was about to take a step, she suddenly thought of something, turned her head and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, when you enter my house, are you going to be a talisman maker? Or are you going to be a Dharma disciple?"
Xiao Hua was confused, and asked: "This... is there any difference?"
"Oh, look at the old man, he is really old. Fellow Daoist Xiao didn't agree to come into my Fu's house earlier, but the old man forgot to explain this matter." Fu Yingmin slapped his forehead and said, "It just so happens that Elder Liu Yun lives in the backyard. You go over and take the opportunity to explain to you."
"Senior Fu, please," Xiao Hua cupped his hands and said.
Therefore, Xiao Hua followed Fu Yingmin down the second floor, went out from a corner "door" on the first floor, and walked to a small courtyard behind the building. I have already mentioned the difference between being a Fa-teaching disciple. Sure enough, as Cai Zhuoxia said, the Fu family first divided the disciples into two types, one specialized in cultivation, and the other specialized in making talismans. Specialized training began at that time. Disciples who specialize in cultivation are the same as disciples of the cultivation sect. As long as they reach a certain level of cultivation, they will have corresponding exercises and pills, and they will also have a certain level of cultivation. Disciples who specialize in making talismans under the guidance of senior Fu family seniors also start with the simplest method of making talismans and gradually deepen. Whenever possible, the Fu family will provide high-level yellow talismans for them to practice
As for the disciples with other surnames who joined the Fu Family, they generally belong to the ranks of the disciples who made the Talisman, and these disciples are divided into two categories, one is the peripheral Talisman Masters, and the other is the so-called traditional disciples of the Dharma disciples. Fa disciples are disciples who can inherit spells. In the Fu family, they are disciples who can inherit the art of making talismans. This kind of disciples can practice advanced talisman making skills, and they may even enter the ranks of disciples who specialize in cultivation. Of course , This also has a price, that is to change to "Fu's surname". For these disciples, the Fu family will betroth some pretty women in the family to them, and their descendants will naturally be the direct disciples of the Fu family.
Correspondingly, there are peripheral talisman makers. These talisman makers can only practice the technique of talisman making, and only after making corresponding contributions to the talisman family can they practice more advanced talisman making skills. As for the family tradition of the talisman family law? I'm sorry, maybe those before the fourth level of Qi refining can be cultivated, and those above the fifth level are almost impossible. Then there is another strange phenomenon. Since you can't practice higher skills, then the technique of making talismans is impossible. 』Deep, the peripheral talisman masters can only leave the talisman family, or transfer to the ranks of the teaching disciples, in order to seek higher skills
Of course, the way of making talismans of the Fu family has its unique features, and there are also many monks who have practiced their own skills and joined the Fu family to become a talisman maker and practice the art of making talismans, and these monks... The goal is to be the guest of the Fu family. This guest is also called the elder of the guest. It is different from the elders of the Fu family. They can do things for the Fu family and make talismans, but they will not work for the Fu family. Conditionally open your own talisman-making technique to these Keqing elders
Elder Liu Yun in the backyard of the Fu family shop is this kind of elder Keqing
After listening to Fu Yingmin's explanation, Xiao Hua understood his "Meng Lang". He only wanted to use the opportunity to join the Fu family to practice the talisman making technique, and also took this opportunity to leave Yan Yuancheng, but he never thought... Family, the price is not small, even the surname has to be changed to "Fu", Fu Hua...why is it so ugly?
Xiao Hua was naturally unwilling to change his surname, so he had to cup his hands and said: "Junior...Thank you for the explanation, Senior Fu. This junior should be a talisman maker first, make some contributions to the Fu family, and practice some talisman making skills before we talk about it."
Fu Yingmin didn't seem to be surprised, and said with a smile: "The old man understands what Xiao Daoyou thinks, after all, this is how the old man came here."
"Huh?" Xiao Hua said in a daze: "Senior Fu... isn't the blood of the Fu family?"
"Hehe, if the old man is a direct relative of the Fu family, can I be sent to Yanyuan City?" Fu Yingmin said with a smile: "However, if Fellow Daoist Xiao wants to improve in cultivation or in making talismans, it is better to switch to teaching methods earlier. Disciple. Only disciples who teach the Dharma can get the true biography of the Fu family hehe... the girls of the Fu family are also extremely good."
Xiao Hua froze, his stiff face twitched a few times, looking at the creases on Fu Yingmin's face with more dense smiles, he didn't know what to say
"Haha, young man, why are you so ashamed? If you fancy a girl from the Fu family, just tell the old man... No matter what you say, she was selected by the old man. If he can stand out, the old man will have a bright face." Fu Yingmin laughed again.
Xiao Hua muttered a few words, not knowing whether it was thanks or what, the two came to the backyard.
"Treasurer Fu, is there something wrong?" Before Fu Yingmin could speak, a woman's voice came from a small building in the courtyard.
The small building is very delicate. Under a flowery tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, there are many thumb-sized lavender flowers blooming on the tree, exuding bursts of elegant fragrance. It complements the beauty of the small building and is very interesting.
"Reporting to the elder, the old man has brought another loose cultivator who wants to join my Fu family, and I hope the elder will make an assessment."
"Well, it's hard work for the shopkeeper." The voice was a little lazy, but also a little crisp, which sounded very pleasant: "I don't know what to call this fellow daoist? Does it meet the requirements of my Fu family?"
"The junior's name is Xiao Hua, and he can refine Fireball Talismans and Ice Spike Talismans. I don't know if he can join the Fu Family." Xiao Hua got Fu Yingmin's wink, stepped forward and cupped his hands.
"Huh?" A woman in light-colored clothes, with gray hair, who is also in her fifties or sixties, slowly walked out of the small building, her brows were slightly wrinkled, she looked up and down at Xiao Hua, He said displeasedly: "Of course, Fellow Daoist Xiao is at the fourth level of Qi Refining, but this cultivation level is really nothing in my Fu Family, and you can only refine low-level Fireball Talismans and Ice Spike Talismans, which is far away from my Talisman." The conditions for recruiting disciples are still quite poor."
"Elder Liu~" Fu Yingmin next to him said with a smile: "You Daoist Xiao is a casual cultivator. It's really rare to have such a mid-level fourth-level cultivation at a young age, and you also visited the shop a month ago. , At that time, it was only the early stage of the fourth level of Qi refining, and it was only a few dozen days to advance to the middle stage. Of course, this aptitude is commendable. Even if you can only refine low-level yellow talismans, there is still a lot of room for future development. I think it still meets the conditions”
"It's up to the elders to decide whether they meet the requirements. Shopkeeper Fu should be more cautious about what he said," Liu Yun sneered.
"Where Elder Liu is the elder of this assessment, I just recommend it because I am afraid that my Fu family will lose a pillar of talent," Fu Yingmin said with a sideways glance at Liu Yun.
"Well, Xiao Hua, you can refine an Ice Spike Talisman, let this elder take a look at it" Liu Yun said lightly.
This Ice Spike Talisman, of course Xiao Hua would refine it, but it was all done by hand instead of a talisman pen. After hearing this, I had to take out the talisman pen, talisman paper and talisman ink, and draw the Ice Spike Talisman in my heart. After thinking about it for a while, I took the talisman pen, slowly activated the mana, dipped it in the talisman ink, and drew it on the talisman paper
