30. Chapter 30 Fu Cheng
The happiest person to see people around him cheer up is Xue Yong. After the disaster, the pharmacy's business has come to a standstill. He has not received any medicinal materials for a long time and has not sold any medicine.
Especially now that Dao Scarqing has become an official, Dr. Lin is still her herbalist, so compared to him, he seems a bit idle, and he is embarrassed to eat more every day.
Of course, the main reason is that he is the one at the bottom, and he can empathize with everyone's emotions the most. Seeing that everyone has chosen to start over, he, as one of them, feels happy about this change from the bottom of his heart.
"Everyone, please give in, especially the children. Watch out and don't get hit." In the evening, Xue Yong and three other people walked out to their yard carrying two large grape trees.
After the busy work of the past half month, the underground rooms of the three of them have not yet been completed, but the courtyard where they live together on the ground has been roughly completed. Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Xue Yong thought of his promise to his son and spent a day hiring someone to join him.
I went outside and dug two large grape trees and came back.
When Lin Nanyin came back from the mountain after receiving the letter, the grape vines in the yard had been planted.
The three children squatting below swallowed hard.
"Hey, what do you think this grape tastes like?" Xue Dalang licked his lips and asked.
"I don't know." Xiao Lingmin shook his head, "It should be sweet."
"It's not sweet, it's sour." Zhang Mingguang, a boy from the Zhang family, denied that he is about the same age as Xiao Lingmin and is about five years old now. "I have eaten it before, but it is sour and the skin is still bitter." Even so.
, and it doesn’t prevent him from swallowing saliva.
"No, my dad said it's sweet."
"sour!"
"I don't believe what you said."
"Then why don't we pick it and taste it now?"
"There's no point in tasting it before it's ripe. My dad has to wait until autumn to ripen it."
"I really hope autumn comes soon." The three children actually reached a consensus on this point.
Wild grapes like this generally don't taste good, so Lin Nanyin didn't break the children's illusions in advance. She crossed the yard and returned to her home first.
Her current new home is still a wooden house, but the space is much larger than before, with three rooms, the living room in the middle, her bedroom on the left, and the Zhang family’s boy’s bedroom on the right. Although the Zhang family’s boy and the Xue family’s children are now
The stickiness is relatively tight, but after all, it was she who agreed to Manager Zhang in the first place, and it was she who accepted Manager Zhang's favor. If conditions permit, she will try not to treat his children badly.
The floors of the three wooden houses were laid with a wooden floor in accordance with her requirements. At the same time, in addition to the normal doors and windows, the three rooms also had skylights on the roofs. When it was not raining, they could be opened to let the sun shine in from the outside.
The room is bright.
"How's it going?" Zhou Yuanniang saw her coming back and walked over with her child in her arms.
"It feels like home now," Lin Nanyin said. In the past, the house was so cramped that she felt that people just wanted to survive. But now the openness of the house makes her feel that this is life. "I like it very much."
"I like it too." Zhou Yuanniang smiled and said, "Then when will you move back?"
No matter how good it is on the mountain, it is not as comfortable as at home.
"I will definitely sleep at home tonight." Lin Nanyin said, as for the future, it depends on the situation. In the past, there was no space to practice and practice the art of talisman and seal script. Now there is space, but there are other practitioners outside in the mortal area.
, she was worried that clues would be discovered.
Speaking of 'other practitioners', Lin Nanyin couldn't help but ask Zhou Yuanniang: "By the way, doesn't the immortal in green outside sit there every day? Why isn't he here today?"
When she first arrived, she took a special look and saw no one in the same place.
"They went outside this morning. Maybe they haven't come back yet or maybe they won't come back tonight." Maybe it was because she had seen them so many times, but Zhou Yuanniang sounded very accustomed to them.
"Oh." Lin Nanyin nodded. Thinking of the time limit for the cold water in his storage bag, he asked Zhou Yuanniang to get her some food on the pretext of washing up, while he went to the bedroom and started fetching water.
Today's physical training session was over. Lin Nanyin sat down and had a celebratory dinner with two other neighbors. The moon was already in the sky outside.
"Let's go home and sleep." Taking Zhang Mingguang across the yard, Lin Nanyin wanted to ask him about his habit of sleeping alone at night and whether he wanted to go back to Xue's house to sleep with the Xue family's eldest son, but Zhang Mingguang suddenly
He gently tugged on her sleeves, raised his little face and asked her: "Now that we have a house to live in, will you come home to live in the future?"
Looking down at the child in front of him, Lin Nanyin saw the caution in his eyes.
She usually saw him playing happily with the two children of the Xue family, and she thought he didn't understand many things when he was still young. But now it seems that he doesn't understand, but carefully hides them.
Also, no one who relies on others would be so heartless.
It was her fault that she agreed to Manager Zhang but didn't really care about his son.
"Do you want me to come back?" She knelt down and looked at him levelly.
Zhang Mingguang nodded lightly, "Yeah." But then he felt as if he had said something wrong, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "If you are busy, you can come back occasionally, as long as...as long as you will come back."
Lin Nanyin thought about it carefully. She was currently practicing the lowest level of talisman seals, and her spiritual power did not fluctuate much. She might not be discovered if she went back to her home to practice, but to be on the safe side, she could practice talisman seal scripts during the day and come back to practice at night.
.
After thinking about this clearly, Lin Nanyin said: "Now that we have a good place to live, why should I go out to eat and sleep in the open air? When I come back, I will come back every day."
"Really?!" Zhang Mingguang raised his head in surprise, his eyes bright.
"Of course, I keep my word." Lin Nanyin touched his head. Well, it was a little oily, so she took it back and said, "Wash your hair when you take a shower tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
"Let's go back to sleep."
The first one and the first one returned home. Lin Nanyin didn't feel sleepy at the moment. She spent half an hour rearranging the furnishings in the room, and then packed up a table and placed it in front of the window. When she looked up, she happened to see
The grape arbor under the moonlight outside the window.
The moonlight tonight was extremely bright and translucent, and large areas of frost-white light shone on the grapevines. The mottled silver light spots reminded her of the grapevines where she could eavesdrop on the whispers of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl on the Chinese Valentine's Day.
In fact, she heard the sound now: Zhang Mingguang next door seemed to have dreamed of something happy, and he was grinding his teeth and laughing; outside, Dao Scarqing was frantically coaxing his daughter, and the child cried louder and louder. Zhou Yuanniang hugged the child.
Only then did they stop crying, and then the couple came to the conclusion: the child was purely scared to cry by her father... As for the other side, Xue's wife was being pestered by the child to tell stories. Xue's wife was so sleepy that she asked the child to find their father.
Then she heard her husband snoring loudly next to her.
"Pretend to be asleep, right?" Xue's wife hummed and pinched the soft flesh around her husband's waist. Xue Yong woke up with an "ouch", and Lin Nanyin couldn't help laughing.
The silent night was broken by Xue Yong's cry, but Lin Nanyin's heart became particularly peaceful because of these breaths of life.
It doesn’t have to be too noisy, and it doesn’t have to be too quiet. Just cry as you cry, laugh as you laugh, and people are just people. That’s fine.
Realizing that her current state was very peaceful, Lin Nanyin had a thought and couldn't help but take out the pen and ink on the talisman. She breathed a sigh of relief as if she was blessed in her soul.
It flashed and soon disappeared into the handwriting.
Success!
It actually happened!
She has been practicing Talisman for nearly three months, and has scrapped almost two hundred talismans. Today she finally drew the first Talisman in her life. Although it was just the simplest cleaning talisman, Lin Nanyin
I feel that she will definitely remember this moment for many, many years, just like when she was a child and got 100% on her first test.
Looking at the newly completed cleansing talisman with some admiration, Lin Nanyin injected a bit of spiritual power into the talisman according to what was written in the talisman theory book, and then she felt that there was a subtle connection between the talisman and herself.
"Clean!" As she thought, the talisman in her hand immediately turned into a stream of spiritual power and swept over her body. Lin Nanyin looked down and saw that all the dust on her body was gone, even the soles of her shoes were clean.
What an amazing experience.
Lin Nanyin hurriedly drew another one, but this time it might have been because of her mood swings that she failed to draw the seal. The third and fourth times went very smoothly.
The talisman was completed, Lin Nanyin used it again, and then came to the conclusion: this cleaning talisman is used to automatically expel the dust on the body when the spiritual power travels throughout the body. In terms of range, it may be because it is a low-level one, and the area where the spell is cast is not large.
Big, what I am thinking about is people, so it will clean their whole body. It is barely feasible to use it on a bed, but it cannot work on an entire room. The area is too large, so it can only clean a part of it.
interesting.
After playing with the cleaning talisman for a while, although her success rate was now high, Lin Nanyin did not continue to draw it.
Firstly, she found that even if she finished drawing the cleaning talisman later, her experience in making talismans would not increase. Secondly, the cleaning talisman was useless. She could be lazy when she didn't want to take a shower, but for now, her net worth still provided
I can't afford her such luxury and laziness. If I want to sell it, don't say whether it can be sold or not. Even if I can estimate it, I won't be able to sell it. It's not very practical.
If you want to gain experience, you have to change symbols and continue gaining experience.
What to replace?
Lin Nanyin originally planned to directly learn the most difficult high-grade Five Thunder Talisman in the first level, but it turned out that it was too difficult and she couldn't pass the level. She only drew one stroke and the talisman was destroyed. No way, she just gave up and started to learn the middle level one.
The first-grade Fu Seal script, but the middle-grade Fu Seal script is only slightly better, and it doesn’t work after less than a third of the drawing.
Looking at the experience entry for making talismans, the current experience was only 18 points. Lin Nanyin thought about it and decided to try to draw the lower-grade talisman.
This time she chose the Lightweight Talisman, which was a bit confusing. The first time she drew it, she almost failed to do it, and her experience gained a little.
So the experience points still need to be increased from low to high first, and then you have to gain what you can before you can continue to go higher?
Tsk, Lin Nanyin recognized it and continued to draw the light body charm.
The light body talisman is an accelerating talisman and is necessary for running away. She needs to be more prepared. If she encounters someone in the future, she will take a hundred photos of the light body talisman in advance to see who can catch up with her.
The whole night was spent in painting symbols like this. When it dawned the next day, Lin Nanyin glanced at the edge of the aperture as usual. The man in Tsing Yi had not returned yet.
Two more days passed and they were still nowhere to be seen.
Chapter completed!
