Chapter 317 Talisman
The iron-wrapped wheels rolled slowly on the dirt road. Due to the weight of Hei Taisui and Li Huowang's luggage, they were forced to grind out tracks on the muddy ground.
Li Huowang, who was holding the reins and driving the horse, turned his head and glanced at the steamed bun that kept sticking out his tongue on the road next to him. He stretched out his hand, clamped a piece of flesh on the back of its neck, and carried it directly to the carriage.
Bang Bang Bang Bang The steamed bun's constantly swaying tail was like a stick, knocking the wooden carriage loudly.
Pushing the approaching dog's head away with his hand, Li Huowang said impatiently: Be calm!
After that, he reached out from his arms and took out the note that Tuoba Danqing had given him.
As in the past, an address was left here, but what was different from the past was that this time the note given to him by the other party did not clearly state what he had encountered.
It was just a deliberate statement that two spies with yellow letters were found here, so that those who go there next time should be careful.
Li Huowang didn't know how strong the so-called yellow spy was, but he was sure that this matter would not be trivial.
Otherwise, Tuoba Danqing wouldn't have said that after finishing this trip, he could be promoted from Guizu to Renwu.
He knew that this trip might be dangerous, but when it came to fear, Li Huowang really wasn't afraid. After experiencing so many things, he has become a little numb. If a person is not even afraid of death, then there is nothing to be afraid of.
Li Huowang took out the dark blue talisman book again and opened it to read. The first page was a brief summary of the book.
My ancestors saw traces of fairy birds and spiritual insects in the sand, and knew that they all contained innate wisdom, so they heard about them and searched for them in detail...
To put it simply, there was a man named He Dao, or a Taoist named He, who figured out a way to borrow the power of heaven and earth from the sounds of birds and insect marks.
The sounds that are summarized from the sounds of birds and animals in the sky and are used to mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth are called talismans. The traces that are found in the insect-marked star images and lead to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth are talismans.
But just listen to what was said above. Li Huowang doesn't think that the power of heaven and earth can backfire on him at a glance. God knows which side of this chaotic world he borrowed.
In this crazy world, everyone has their own logic, and most of them are contradictory.
Never mind the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the Three Pure Ones and Three Corpses, and the five Buddhist realms. He didn't want to get entangled in whether they were true or false. As long as it can help him, he is willing to believe even if the Jade Emperor descends to earth.
With the same stroke order, write four at the beginning, then fold the left and vertical strokes, then make the word Chou below, make the word Double Fire below the word Chou, and make four circles backwards to make the character Lotus.
Although Blind Chen said that this talisman has huge hidden dangers, it is not that easy to use it.
When drawing a talisman, you have to read it carefully. If you make a mistake or mispronounce a word, the talisman will be invalid. What's more terrible is that after the talisman is drawn, you can't see that the bottom painting is correct.
If you want to master this talisman book proficiently, you may not be able to use it without spending a lot of hard work.
To be honest, Li Huowang felt that this thing was much more troublesome to use than Da Qian Lu. Although Da Qian Lu was expensive, it was really convenient to use.
A small strip of bright yellow turmeric paper was placed on the carriage. Li Huowang bit his fingertips and looked at the talisman book in his hand and began to copy it.
...the essence of heaven and earth, the essence of sun and moon, the essence of heaven and earth, the brightness of sun and moon!
After Li Huowang finished reciting in his mind, he patted the horse in front of him with the talisman in his hand. The next moment, Li Huowang heard a thick whisper in his ears.
But before he could listen carefully, the black horse pulling the cart suddenly screamed, dark purple blood vessels bursting out of its skin, and it quickly started running wildly.
The strong wind blew up the black gauze hat on Li Huowang's head, revealing his face that grew out of most of his face.
Hearing the creaking sound of the wheels, Li Huowang, who was holding the horse, couldn't help but become nervous. If we keep running like this, the carriage won't fall apart, right?
Fortunately, after a while, when Li Huowang took off the talisman from the horse's back, the horse slowly returned to normal.
But in just a short time, the carriage had already traveled several miles. He couldn't be unhappy. This talisman was more useful than Li Huowang imagined.
Just when the black horse, dripping with blood and sweat, came to the river and drank heavily, Li Huowang wiped the horse's back with his hand, and a red liquid that looked like oil oozed out. He thought to himself: This thing is really useless. Is it a hidden danger?”
Woof woof! Suddenly Mantou grinned and shouted at the roadside.
Li Huowang looked up and saw a footman carrying a burden.
Seeing the other party gradually moving forward, Li Huowang quickly chased after him in a carriage. Now that he was about to reach the place, it was unreasonable not to ask a local to find out.
Hey, wait a minute, salesman!
He glanced at the copper coin sword on Li Huowang's back, and then at the red Taoist robe on Li Huowang's body. The salesman with the hair on his chin wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, put down the pole on his shoulder, and stared at Li Huowang's face. The black gauze hat asked: Master Taoist, what do you want?
I don't want anything, I just thought that since we are going the same way, we can go together. After all, it is safer if there are more people, so as not to encounter thieves and lose our lives in vain.
Master Tao is joking. I don't know about other realms, but here, there really aren't any robbers. If you're afraid of robbers, it's better to guard against the beasts in the forest.
Can't? Then why did I hear that this place is not peaceful? As soon as Li Huowang dropped the hook, the other party immediately bit it.
That's also a county matter and has nothing to do with us. There are merchants in the county and we don't need our salesmen. The salesman looked indifferent.
Oh? I'd like to hear the details. I'm a newbie here, so I really don't know much about it.
But when Li Huowang asked this question, the other party stopped talking. His expression was a little frightened, as if he was tabooing something.
Li Huowang didn't press any questions, but looked at the things on the other party's pole, What do you have in this pile?
As soon as he saw that business was coming, the salesman suddenly became energetic. I'm a food vendor, so of course I buy food. I sell all kinds of soap paste, rice dumplings, and lactose.
When Li Huowang bought most of the different foods in his pole basket and asked again, the other party hesitated for a moment and finally was willing to speak.
After sneaking a few glances at the surrounding woods, he leaned close to Li Huowang and lowered his voice and said: I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense outside. I heard that Cangshui County is just ahead. It’s haunted.”
Haunted? Li Huowang was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that he could hear this from other people.
Yes, wasn't it the Ghost Festival celebrated on July 30th a few days ago? Oops, it turns out that the Lord of Hell forgot to close the ghost door! Then all the things in the underworld escaped.
Li Huowang didn't believe a word of the nonsense the other party said. This kid knew that the Lord of Hell had forgotten to close the gate of hell, so it would be too unfair to still be a salesman here.
Just tell me what happened in Cangshui County earlier, and don't add fuel to the fire.
