Vol 2 Chapter 40: Pen and seal

　　Although drawing amulets is a very basic skill for most wizards, few wizards are good at drawing amulets. In the wizarding world, masters who are good at making symbols have always been very rare.
　　 Because of this, Zheng Qing’s amazing performance in Fulu class spread quickly in the school.
　　 Every student is full of curiosity about being able to skillfully outline all the basic talisman, the rumored "Kunlun Heir".
　　 On weekdays, due to politeness, everyone suppresses this curiosity in their hearts.
　　 But today, Zheng Qing has successfully aroused everyone's curiosity.
　　The desk placed in front of the bar, the four treasures of the study, and the ceremony of burning incense. This posture clearly means that Zheng Qing is about to demonstrate his ability as a ‘Kunlun heir’.
　　 The onlookers geared up, looking even more nervous than Zheng Qing at the desk.
　　 Everyone held their breath and stared at the purple pen in Zheng Qing's hand.
　　 Even the bar owner, the wandering mage in gray robes, focused his attention on Zheng Qing.
　　 The colorful lights and music in the bar have been quiet under the boss's orders.
　　 The floating candles above the hall formed a circular ring and gathered above Zheng Qing's head; the light blue flames had turned white somehow, and burned, projecting a shadowless and bright world on the floor.
　　Because the light source was concentrated on Zheng Qing's head, the back of the bar looked a little dim, and only a row of flashing light green spots could be seen. Those are the glowing wings and tentacles of the elves. These little guys sat quietly above the wine kitchen, closed their mouths, making no noise.
　　 Zheng Qing closed his eyes, feeling the depressed silence, breathing slowly, his shoulders slowly rising and falling with the breathing, but his elbows and wrists seemed to be cast iron, not moving.
　　 The white light above his head fell on his head.
　　 fell on his shoulders and elbows.
　　 fell on his wrist.
　　 falls on the tip of the pen full of ink.
　　 Ink color oozes along the gap and gathers into beads at the tip of the pen;
　　 Zheng Qing remained motionless.
　　 The ink beads got bigger and bigger, and finally broke free from the shackles of the rabbit under the action of gravity, and fell freely on the yellow paper.
　　 "Ah!" There were a few short exclamations of girls from the crowd.
　　 Zheng Qing still closed his eyes, but the pen in his hand seemed to be drawn by the drop of vermilion ink, and then fell onto the paper.
　　 The drop of free Zhu Mo fell on the yellow paper, as if to smash the paper through.
　　The purple pen followed, and the tip of the pen was precisely placed on the drop of ink before the ink drop fell on the paper.
　　 a meal, a pen,
　　 One even, one rendering.
　　 The tip of the pen dances like a dance, pulling with the drop of free ink, like a wild horse running off the yellow paper.
　　 From the crowd of onlookers sighed.
　　 The few students standing in the front row even made a gesture of holding a pen involuntarily, learning Zheng Qing's movement of using the pen.
　　 Complete the book in one stroke, and make a good picture in one go.
　　Between breathing, a complicated and gorgeous talisman appeared in front of everyone.
　　The pen is over, Zheng Qing takes Zihao back to the turtle back inkstone, letting him the ink in the inkstone again.
　　 And he raised his left hand, put the tip of his thumb into his mouth, bit and pulled forcefully, and then pressed his finger on the outline of the talisman paper.
　　 The onlookers were silent.
　　 No one expected that Zheng Qing would use this radical method of confinement.
　　 For wizards, painting symbols have a dilemma.
　　The dilemma is to draw runes. Without the guidance of a famous teacher and a solid foundation, it is easy to make mistakes when drawing a talisman; perhaps a certain stroke in the sketch is deviated by four or five degrees, which will make this talisman express a completely different effect from the original.
　　The other difficulty is to fill the spirit. Gathering momentum before writing, attracting spirit when writing, and returning breath after closing. Different inheritance genres have different ways of instilling spirits, but all methods of instilling spirits emphasize the consistency of body and mind and coordination of breathing. Many wizards have trouble breathing and become unsure when they draw the characters, and they will easily fail to instill their spirits.
　　 After the dilemma, a talisman is ninety-nine percent completed.
　　 It's just that, those who travel a hundred miles are half and ninety.
　　 At the end of ten tenths of a percent, many wizards were so ashamed.
　　 This is the final catastrophe of the painting talisman: sealing the spirit.
　　 Sealing the spirit, literally understood to be the inspiration to seal this talisman, but in fact it is the same.
　　 After each talisman is completed, the inspiration is constantly being lost over time. If it is not banned, it may just be a blink of an eye, and the inspiration on the talisman paper will disappear.
　　 In the long practice, the wizards have explored different methods of sealing spirits.
The most common 　　 is the ‘seal of spirit’.
　　 To seal a magic talisman is to add another ciphertext at the foot of the completed talisman. This ciphertext is like a shackle, able to lock the spirit on the talisman paper. Different schools of ciphertext are written differently, and the effect is also very different. Some ciphertexts can lock the mind for decades, and some ciphertexts will be washed away by the mind after a few hours.
　　 The flaws of this approach are more than that. The writing of each ciphertext is extremely complicated. Sometimes it takes only one minute to sketch a complete talisman, but it takes half an hour to finish the ciphertext of this talisman! Delineating complex ciphertexts in the narrow runes is a great test for wizards. A little carelessness will give up all previous efforts.
　　 In addition, there is a relatively rare way of sealing spirits, which is the "seal of spirit sealing."
　　The Seal of Spiritual Seal is a magical weapon specially made for blocking Spiritual Machines. When the wizard finishes drawing the talisman, he only needs to hold the seal, apply cinnabar inkpad, and cover it on the talisman paper, and you are done. The success rate of this method is extremely high, but because of the expensive and rare artifacts, only masters of talisman have the capital to use the seal.
　　 In addition to the previous two widely spread methods of spiritual sealing~EbookFREE.me~ There is also a crude, quick and effective method of sealing in the wizarding world, but few people use blood sealing.
　　 As the name implies, blood seal means to seal spirit with blood.
　　 The wizard who draws the talisman after the talisman is completed, he only needs to use a few drops of his own blood, wipe it on the feet of the talisman, and paint a few tick marks, and it will be considered as the completion of the spirit seal.
　　 This method is simple and efficient, and the effect is very good.
　　 Most blood seal talisman are valid for more than one year!
　　 It's just that everything goes with the pros and cons.
　　 On the one hand, this method of sealing spirits is relatively savage and seems a little out of place in the increasingly civilized modern wizarding world; on the other hand, the talisman produced in this way can easily reveal the secrets of the wizard.
　　 There are hundreds of examples in the "Encyclopedia of Wizarding World", about the wizard accidentally dropped a few drops of blood, was acquired by the opponent and cast a curse, with a miserable ending.
　　To this day, if it weren't for the talisman that he needed to use urgently, very few wizards would use this painful and extremely risky way of sealing spirits.
　　 Wandering Bar, onlookers silently watched Zheng Qing bit his finger and seal the spirit with blood.
　　 No one expected him to use this intense technique.
　　 Some onlookers who wanted to get a glimpse of the ‘Kunlun ciphertext’ were a little disappointed.
　　 But more students have expressions of admiration on their faces.
　　 Not everyone has the courage to bite his finger.
　　 Not any wizard has the courage to spill his blood outside the laboratory.
　　 Zheng Qing knows nothing about the silence surrounding him.
　　 He still closed his eyes, brewing the momentum of the next talisman.
　　 The Qingxin Talisman that had been written was lightly tapped with his finger and sent to Xiao Xiao's hand not far away.
　　 Xiao Xiao took the talisman and released it to Li Meng who was sleeping on the right time.
