Vol 2 Chapter 7: Boss He

Even after staying in the Demon Realm for three years, Shen Shi's memory of the five elements of Yin and Yang and ten runes has not forgotten much. Even when he was in the Demon Realm, when he was free, he would pick up some at will. Paper and pen, or even pick up a branch directly, and draw some of these yin and yang runes on the ground.
Maybe it's a habit from childhood to adulthood, or maybe just draw a few strokes like this, so I can comfort myself and remember the original things. As for the question of whether he will be seen by other monsters, Shen Shi is not worried. In fact, the old white monkey and stone pig he befriended have seen the weird and distorted drawings he painted more than once. Of runes. They had also asked Shen Shi curiously, and after Shen Shi only gently pushed that it was meaningless to scribble casually, they did not continue to ask.
Because these yin and yang runes look like twisted and complicated ghost paintings...
Before he knew it, Shen Shi thought of the old white monkey and the stone pig again, and he was taken aback by the table. After a while, he sighed slightly and sighed slightly sadly.
Compared with him, after entering this room, the boss jumped directly onto the bed. His shiny and shiny body rolled and rubbed on the soft bedding for a few times, and he immediately liked the bed here. , I can't wait for my whole body to fall into those quilts, and soon there is no sound from lying on the bed, and I don't know if he has fallen asleep.
Shen Shi glanced over the bed, but didn't bother with it. He settled down and concentrated his mind. Now he tried his hands on a piece of ordinary white paper, and traced the ten Yin Yang and Five Elements Runes one by one. After I finished painting, I reviewed them one by one, and then he nodded slightly with satisfaction in his eyes.
The foundation honed in this talisman for many years is reflected in this moment. Ten twisted and complicated runes that ordinary people have a headache, he drew in one breath, but they were not bad at all.
With confidence in his heart, Shen Shi took away the white paper. This time, he took the real talisman paper in front of him. The bright red cinnabar and the green peach talisman pen were quietly in hand. The room was quiet, his eyes lightly fell on the talisman paper, and then he steadily dropped the pen.
With the delicate and uniform handwriting, mysterious runes were slowly drawn on the earthy yellow rune paper, and then on the same rune paper, several runes formed a rune array, which appeared one by one. When the last stroke is drawn, the rune array composed of three runes is displayed in front of you. This is the semi-finished product of a talisman. Only the last step is to fill the spirit, and it can become a very useful five-element magic talisman.
Shen Shi drew the talisman quietly, with a calm and indifferent expression. If there is a talisman who is skilled in this way, he will be surprised at this young man's talent and proficiency in drawing talisman. One after another, Chen Shi rarely stopped writing and hesitated, and when the description made mistakes, it was surprisingly rare.
Two hours later, Shen Shi finally finished drawing the fifty talisman papers, stood up, stretched his waist, turned his neck, looked down at the stack of talisman papers on the table, and nodded in satisfaction. The stack of talisman paper was forty-seven. Even with Chen Shi’s skillful brushwork, three talisman papers were scrapped due to mistakes, but for that, fifty talisman papers were three. This is already waiting for a master who has decades of experience in making symbols.
In the next step of making talisman, only the last and most critical potion remains. Generally speaking, at this last moment, the talisman scrapped due to various reasons still account for a large number, but Shen Shi But his mentality is very relaxed, because based on past experience, because of the mysterious Yin-Yang curse, he is full of confidence in this last step.
However, this step of filling the spirit has always been known for its delicate and cumbersome. Even if he has the help of Yin and Yang curse, he cannot make a large number of talisman quickly. He can only do it slowly and slowly. He had previously set a six-day stay. , For the same.
Shen Shi's gaze swept over the stack of yellow talisman papers, picked them up gently, and arranged them separately according to the different talisman formations on it. At present, the six first-order five-element spells he has learned occupy the majority of them, totaling thirty-four sheets. There are many, among them, fireball, water archery, rock stabbing, and earth sinking are his favorites. There are as many as eight of each, and the remaining fire barriers and wind swift techniques are usually used There are few, so I just drew only one of one kind.
And the remaining thirteen pieces of talisman paper, he left it to the witchcraft he learned from the demon world. To be honest, when he first painted these witch talisman on the talisman paper, because the composition of the witchcraft is those strange five poisons. The pattern is very different from the talisman rune patterns of the human race. Shen Shi was somewhat worried, but when he thought of using the method of witch talisman in the demon world, he made the five-element talisman. There is no big problem.
And the facts are exactly as he thought. There really seems to be a weird similarity between this witchcraft and the human five-element spell. Those ten strange black and white five poisonous patterns are drawn on the rune paper. After that, it seemed to be tightly connected, and there was no sense of disobedience. It seemed that as long as it was the last step of filling the spirit, it should be able to make a perfect witchcraft talisman.
It seems that there is always something weird in this, but Shen Shi can't think of so much for a while. The witchcraft he has learned now, except for the ghost-calling technique that was recorded at the end of the animal skin, the rest There are a total of four spells that can be used normally, so I drew three each of Ethereal Spirit and Skin Erosion, and there were a little more blood poisoning and decay, four each.
All the preparations have been made, Shen Shi also breathed a sigh of relief. He packed up the spiritual materials on the table and put them back in his wishful bag. The room quickly returned to its original appearance, even if it was the owner of the inn. When I entered, I couldn't see what Shen Shi had done here before.
Shen Shi turned around and sat down on the side of the bed. His eyes swept across the slightly messy bedding, and he found the little black pig who was sleeping comfortably under the soft quilt. Seeing it sleep so sweetly, a gentle smile flashed across the corner of Shen Shi's mouth, and he reached out and gently touched its head.
Although the little black pig was asleep, he seemed to feel something, his two little ears moved twice, and his head was still rubbing against Shen Shi's palm.
Shen Shi smiled and shook his head, leaving it alone, sitting cross-legged on the bed, after a while, he stretched out his hand and stroked it gently at the mouth of the Ruyi bag. When he raised his hand again, a little light lit up. The spirit crystal shining with soft light was lying quietly on his palm.
Shen Shi looked at this spiritual crystal quietly, with a complex expression in his eyes.
For three years, for three full years, because he couldn't find these beautiful but crucial little stones, he was forced to be suppressed in the high-level realm of the refining realm. He was only close to the most important threshold of the Ningyuan realm. A step away, but he can only wander out helplessly.
That kind of feeling, that kind of taste, it is really hard for people who have not experienced it to understand and experience.
But fortunately, all of this seemed to finally be back on track, and his future path seemed to be bright again.
He smiled, with a bit of expectation and hope, he held the spirit crystal tightly in his hand, and then closed his eyes. After three years, he started practicing again.
※※※
In Broken Moon City, monks come and go, and the world is so big that no one will pay much attention to the whereabouts of a young man. At least for now, the city is still quiet, towering over the wilderness as usual, spending the day. Another peaceful day.
Six days later, that is, September 16th of this year, Shen Shi asked this date from the owner of the inn. Shen Shi finally completed the filling of all forty-seven talismans, which is jaw-dropping. Yes, at the end of all the forty-seven talismans, only one of the rock stab talisman made an accident while filling the spirit, and all the remaining forty-six talismans did not fail and all were successfully filled.
Such an astonishing success rate, even Shen Shi himself felt a little unbelievable. You must know that when he made talisman on Herring Island, although his success rate was quite high, when he was in the step of filling the spirit, he definitely couldn't reach the current level. After careful consideration, the only reason he could only be attributed to the second volume of Yin-Yang curse that he learned in the demon world.
But in any case, this is still a good thing after all. Shen Shi even thought faintly in his heart that even if he is poor and embarrassed in the future, he can only rely on selling this talisman because he can guarantee his own cultivation needs.
After packing up his own things and confirming that no important things were left in the room, Shen Shi took the little black pig who was reluctant to let go of the bed and went downstairs to the lobby of the inn, with the boss He who was standing behind the counter. After clearing the expenses, he casually greeted Boss He and was about to leave.
Only at this moment, Boss He suddenly called to stop him. When Shen Shi turned his head to look at him, there was a bit of doubt in his eyes, but he listened to Boss He with a slight smile and gestured Shen Shi to approach the counter while lowering it. He heard his voice and whispered softly: "This son, I have one thing, you may want to know."
Standing on the edge of the counter, Shen Shi frowned slightly and looked at Boss He. He only saw that Boss He smiled warmly and looked gentle. There was nothing unusual about it. After a moment of silence, Shen Shi nodded and said, "Please ask. ,Appreciate further details."
Boss He smiled slightly and said, "Six days ago, shortly after you moved into our store, someone came here and said something to the guy in our store..." He said, he spoke clearly. Six days ago, the tall cultivator asked his buddy about the remarks that he had received from the airport, and repeated them one by one.
Shen Shi listened in silence. When he heard the description of the person the monk wanted to find from Boss He, his face began to become a little ugly, and at the same time a hint of worry passed through his eyes. Boss He does this inn business, even if he doesn’t have a high level of ethics, but his ability to observe beauty is already proficient, and the strange thing in Shen Shi’s eyes was quickly seen by him, and his heart was immediately settled. But still the original expression, smiling and calm.
After listening to Boss He's retelling, Shen Shi pondered for a moment, and said, "Thank you Boss He for telling me that this matter is quite important to me, but I don't know what the monk who came to question that day looked like, uh, on him. Clothing, and... what are the characteristics, such as the clothing of a certain sect?"
What he was worried and worried at the moment was naturally because he was afraid that the Qianyi incident would happen, and Xuan Jianmen suspected himself. Even though he was in that forest that day, he had tried his best to erase the traces, but he was not a skilled murderer who kills every day, so he would inevitably miss something; secondly, the world’s hidden dragon and crouching tiger, there are countless magical powers in the realm of cultivation, profound sword Sect, a cultivating sect with roots and strength, if there are some magical techniques that you can't expect to find the corpse and find the murderer, no one dares to deny the possibility.
The plan now is naturally to quickly ask what the identity of the cultivator is, and don't be a disciple of the Profound Sword Sect. He was worried and anxious here, and his eyes looked at Boss He a little bit more eagerly, but at this time Boss He smiled faintly. For some reason, he didn't say a word for a while, just like that. And with a weird smile, looking at Shen Shi.
Shen Shi frowned, and the color of eagerness slowly faded. After a moment of silence, a color of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but in the end he still found a spiritual crystal, gently placed it on the counter tabletop, and whispered: "Please teach me Boss He."
Boss He swept his arm, as if wiping the table, gently and skillfully wiped the spirit crystal over, then smiled openly, and described the clothes and features of the tall monk that day to Shen Shi.
Shen Shi listened carefully and felt that the person's appearance did not seem to have anything to do with Xuanjianmen, but after another thought, if Xuanjianmen disciple Weifu sneaked out to find someone, this possibility seemed difficult to rule out. After many thoughts, it is always difficult to solve the hidden worries. He is also a little more irritable. After a moment of indulgence, he finally decided that for the last four days, he would simply go out of the city to escape, and wait until the Lingxiaozong came to see him. With the backing of the sect, things should be much easier to handle. The big deal is to see the opportunity by yourself.
With a fixed mind, he glanced at the smiling boss He behind the counter, and secretly felt a pain in the spirit crystal, thinking that this spirit crystal could not make him earn too much, so he asked: "He Boss, besides that, I would like to ask us if there are so many monks in Broken Moon City, is there any treasure near the city?"
Perhaps because of the shining spirit, Boss He didn't have any more branches this time, and he smiled and briefly introduced Shen Shi:
"That is of course, and there are more than one places where various cultivation spiritual resources are produced. There are a total of four places within three hundred miles around the city of Broken Moon. However, the Crouching Tiger Mountain among them is now a mysterious place. Other casual cultivators can’t get close to the sword gate. There are still three places left. There are many spirit grasses in the gray lizard forest, many monsters on the Yingfu Ridge, and another place is Yinyue Lake, where the water and grass are lush. There are many kinds of spiritual materials and low-level monsters. It is the place where monks in the city often go to find spiritual materials and various resources for cultivation."
Shen Shi slowly nodded, and said, "Thank you very much." Boss He smiled in reply, and Shen Shi turned around and walked out of the inn without any delay.
Seeing Chen Shi’s back disappear, the smile on Boss He’s face remained the same. He stretched out his hand and squeezed the spirit crystal in his palm. He pondered for a moment, and then walked upstairs to the inn by himself. Outside another quiet room, he reached out and knocked on the door.
The door of the room opened with a creak, and a man walked out, tall, but it was the monk who secretly followed Shen Shi six days ago.
I saw that this tall monk looked at Boss He at the moment, his face was quite ugly, but Boss He was calm, without any fear, and was able to open and maintain an inn in the city of Broken Moon where the monks gathered. How could he not rely on it behind his back, and the tall monk clearly understood this, so although his face was not good, he still did not dare to do anything excessive to Boss He, but his words were cold and said: "Boss Ho, don't do too much. What happened, why didn’t you tell me?"
Boss He smiled slightly and said, "This guest, what you want to know, I have indeed inquired and understood today, but..." He slowly closed his mouth, smiled without saying a word, just looked at the monk.
The corner of the tall monk's eyes jumped, and a burst of anger flickered, but somehow he was still pressed down at the end. After gritting his teeth, he took out a spirit crystal and threw it to Boss He, then said bitterly: "Now Let's talk about it."
Boss He laughed, caught Lingjing, and then Shi Shiran said: "The young man you are looking for must be out of the city today, and the place to go is probably Yinyue Lake."
The tall monk raised his eyebrows, with a hint of suspicion, and said, "Really?"
Boss He turned around, gently tossed the spirit crystal in his hand, caught it with his hand, and walked all the way, while faintly saying: "Don't worry, he will go to Yinyue Lake."
