I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 141 Silver Talisman

As the little bean put pen to paper, Zhang Chen looked over and was stunned, because although the talisman drawn by the little bean was exactly the same as the one he drew, the order of putting the strokes down was different.

This stroke of the pen was like a bolt of thunder across Zhang Chen's mind. In an instant, it was as if the world was created, and countless inspirations surged in.

"No, the strokes I drew are wrong! There is one stroke different from yours." After the little kid finished drawing the talisman, he muttered to himself, then erased the talisman and prepared to imitate Zhang Chen's strokes.

"No! The order in which you wrote is correct, and the order in which I wrote is wrong! How did you come up with the idea of ​​writing like this?" Zhang Chen looked at the little kid with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"I was learning to draw talismans from you, but I always felt that the strokes were not smooth, as if I had written a character with the wrong strokes. It looked very strange when I wrote it, so I changed it subconsciously." said the little bean.

Zhang Chen's mouth twitched when he heard this. Is this possible?
Are Chengdu and Chongqing’s talents really that high?
The other party had no knowledge of talismans at all, but he managed to draw the correct talisman by relying on the so-called uneven strokes. What do you think Zhang Chen, who has been struggling to comprehend it for several days, will think?
All he thinks about is mlgp, which is really discouraging. It makes people feel ashamed and like they are pigs.

Zhang Chen ignored Xiao Douding at this time, and looked at his own gold finger page:

[9th skill (beginner): Town character (0/50)]

【Note 1: Can suppress inferior and strange powers.】

[Note 2: Find a piece of yellow paper and some cinnabar, mix them together, and use your magic power to draw the talisman.]

【Points: 104000】

"Eh~" Zhang Chen looked at the gold finger page with a hint of surprise in his eyes, because the points required to upgrade this character were less than those required to upgrade his own immobilization talisman.

However, the fact that it could suppress all mysterious forces did arouse Zhang Chen's interest.

Zhang Chen didn't even think about it and added points directly, from entry level to perfection, and then he saw Zhang Chen's gold finger screen flashing again:

[9th skill (perfect): Town character (0/800)]

【Points: 103200】

“After another upgrade, I will enter the next level, from the mundane to the mysterious.” Zhang Chen took a look at the points, there were still more than 100,000, he was still very generous and added it up directly.

[[9th skill (quasi-first order): Suppression character]

[10 pounds of pure silver is required]

"Is it silver that is needed this time?" Zhang Chen stroked his chin thoughtfully as he looked at the Golden Finger layout.

"I lack everything except money. But there are masters in the Taoist temple now. Not to mention the mysterious Gu Mingyue, I have to be careful with those soldiers. If any unnecessary trouble occurs, I will be in danger." Zhang Chen put his mind aside for the time being. To be safe, he decided to wait until dark before going out.

At this time, there was a snoring sound in the room. Cheng Yu had a book on his head, and the snoring sound came from under the book.

Zhang Chen looked at the sky. It was already dark. He didn't expect that several hours had passed while he was studying talismans.

Zhang Chen glanced at Cheng Yu, and the next moment he turned into a vampire bat, flapped his wings silently, and disappeared into the night.

This time he was more cautious. Not only did he fly at a low altitude, he also dispersed the vampire bats.

Returning to the cave again, Zhang Chen went straight to the place where the silver was piled. Then he saw silver mist rolling up and pouring into his mouth and nose, appearing in the ancestral orifice between Zhang Chen's eyebrows, and turning into a silver-white talisman.

Silver Talisman——Done!
Then Zhang Chen continued to add points and upgrade his talismans.

First level, points minus 800
Level 4000, points minus
Level 20000, points minus
At this time, Zhang Chen's skills have reached the fourth level:

[9th skill (Level 200000): Town character ()]

【Points: 79400】

In the green lotus, four silver talismans flickered, dancing in the air like spirit butterflies, constantly entangled with the magic power. As Zhang Chen chanted, the four silver talismans overlapped into one, quietly floating in the green lotus, receiving the tempering of the magic power.

"Good, really good! The mystery of the Zhen character is to suppress those difficult characters, mainly those monsters that can't be killed but can't be released either. Even for humans, it is equally effective. It can suppress their spiritual power and seal all their means." Zhang Chen looked at the Zhen character, and his heart became more and more satisfied. Then he leisurely fed the bumblebee, and then turned into a vampire bat and left.

After returning to the Taoist temple, Zhang Chen looked at Cheng Yu who was still sleeping soundly and couldn't help laughing to himself: "He's sleeping like a pig!"

Then he picked up the girl and placed her on his bed. Zhang Chen did not meditate or practice. Instead, he picked up the yellow paper on the table, ground the cinnabar clean, and began to outline the silver talisman he had just obtained.

Along with a flash of silver light, all the text and symbols on the talisman disappeared, leaving only a piece of light yellow paper quietly placed on the desk.

Zhang Chen took out the gold talisman he had drawn, holding it in his left hand and the silver talisman in his right hand. He looked at them carefully and compared them, a look of contemplation in his eyes.

Although the talisman is still made of yellow paper, it has changed after I drew the talisman and applied magic power to it.

First of all, it is very heavy. This talisman is three to five times heavier than normal paper, and it is also extremely tough, just like artificial leather.

"Interesting!" Zhang Chen stroked the talisman, a thoughtful look in his eyes: "It's a pity that there is no chance to test it for the time being."

Zhang Chen drew a few more silver talismans and placed them on the table as a precaution, waiting to equip the little kid with them tomorrow. Fearing that the function was not enough, he also specially infused them with the light of the righteous god to increase the power to restrain the weirdness.

Although the light of the righteous god can only exist for one day, Xiao Douding is with him every day, and he can replenish it at any time.

This Huangli Temple is not very safe! We need an extra layer of insurance!
As for lost?
This talisman was drawn by him personally and is related to his spirit, how could it be lost?
Even if it was picked up by someone, he could sense it remotely and summon it back with just a thought.

"Am I considered a master now?" Zhang Chen raised the corners of his mouth with a hint of pride.

The gold and silver talismans will be Zhang Chen's most important trump cards to resist assassinations and even interceptions in the future. "I'm a little hungry!" Zhang Chen drew the talisman and stroked his belly, which began to growl again.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. Now the imperial army is here, and no one knows if there are any extraordinary people among them (the author should change the word "god" to "extraordinary people" to avoid confusion with Huang Tiandao's deification).

"Just be patient! Wait until that noble lady comes down the mountain. Are you still afraid of having no food to eat then?" Zhang Chen muttered to himself, then lay on the bed, holding the little kid in his arms, as if he was holding a baby, and directly held the little kid in his arms.

The little kid was half asleep, and mumbled in his sleep: "Zhang Chen, I'm hungry! I want to eat meat."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen raised his head and glanced at the little boy. Seeing that the little boy was just talking nonsense in his sleep and had not woken up, he raised the corner of his mouth, pinched the little boy's face, and then fell asleep as well.

Zhang Chen fell into a deep sleep, but Xie Lingyun in the small building had trouble falling asleep.

In the small building where Xie Lingyun was resting, green smoke was slowly coming out of an incense burner. Xie Lingyun was sitting cross-legged in front of the incense burner, making hand seals, and fell into a state of concentration.

At this time, Xie Lingyun was surrounded by black air, which turned into a huge skeleton, directly covering Xie Lingyun, as if it wanted to swallow Xie Lingyun into its stomach.

Xie Lingyun was seen sweating profusely all over, not only his clothes were wet, but even the cushion he was sitting on was stained with sweat.

'Hu~'

Suddenly, at a certain moment, Xie Lingyun took a deep breath, and the fireworks in the incense burner were instantly sucked into his chest. As the fireworks entered his abdomen, Xie Lingyun's aura kept flickering, and the seals in his hands changed. Finally, at a certain moment, the black skeleton around his body retreated, leaving Xie Lingyun sitting quietly on the cushion, his breathing becoming steady.

After about a quarter of an hour, Xie Lingyun finally opened his eyes, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes: "I'm in big trouble! The backlash from this mysterious thing is getting bigger and bigger. As my cultivation level increases, the opponent's ability is getting stronger and stronger. It has even turned into my inner demon and coexisted with me. If I can't find a way to contain this weird thing before the next breakthrough, I'm afraid I will die tragically. I don't have much time left. I must find a way to suppress this weird thing before the next breakthrough."

It turned out that Xie Lingyun’s previous fight against the skeleton formed by the black airflow was actually to suppress his realm and prevent it from breaking through.

"I had hoped that this most mysterious Huang Tiandao would have some ability, but Huang Tiandao disappointed me! He boasted a lot at the foot of the mountain, but when I got to the top of the mountain, I found that it was not the case at all. Although Huang Tiandao's incense power is magical, it can't suppress that weirdness, let alone separate the damn demon from my soul."

“Although this monster who calls himself the Heavenly Demon is not at a high level, and is only a fourth-level being, it is extremely strange. It has merged with my soul and is parasitic in my soul. It is really difficult to deal with. In the future, either I will subdue it, or it will swallow me and replace me.” Xie Lingyun slowly stood up and said to the outside of the door: “Bring a basin of water. I need to wash up.”

The next morning

Zhang Chen was pulled up by the ears by the little kid. After washing up, he walked towards the main hall, and everyone started to do morning lessons.

Since Xie Lingyun came, the Taoist temple's rule of practicing martial arts in the morning was completely cancelled. After the disciples finished their morning lessons and received their breakfast, they began to busy themselves with their own work.

When Zhang Chen and Xiao Douding arrived at the main hall carrying a mop and a bucket, they saw the noble lady they had met yesterday standing in front of the main hall burning incense.

There were no guards outside the main hall. I guess the guards were scattered around the Taoist temple, blocking the dangerous places.

Seeing the red back of the man burning incense, Zhang Chen and Xiao Douding, who were originally chatting and laughing, suddenly stood at the door of the hall, not knowing whether to go in or not. Zhang Chen looked at Xiao Douding, and Xiao Douding looked at Zhang Chen, and the two looked at each other, both at a loss for a moment.

After the woman in red finished bowing, she stood up and looked at Zhang Chen and Cheng Yu. A clear and clean smile appeared on her beautiful face, which made Zhang Chen stunned and attracted.

"You don't have to worry about me. Just work when you need to, otherwise you won't finish the work and get punished by the old bull nose in the Taoist temple. You can't blame me then." Xie Lingyun said with a smile. At the same time, looking at the clean and white little bean, she couldn't help but walked forward and stretched out her slender jade fingers, grasping Cheng Yu's white face, pulling her face into the shape of the word "囧", and her words were full of love: "What a cute girl!"

The little bean's face suddenly turned into a bitter melon, and even Xie Lingyun's bright smile turned into a big devil at this time. However, fearing the other party's identity, she did not dare to resist. She could only lower her head with a bitter face, pulling the mop in her hand sullenly.

But Xie Lingyun didn't care about that. He stretched out his hand and rubbed the little kid's head vigorously, as if he was rubbing a dog's head angrily. Only then did he let go of Cheng Yu with satisfaction and walked out of the hall gracefully.

Looking at Xie Lingyun's receding back, Xiao Douding rubbed his face vigorously: "Women are tigers, this saying is indeed true."

Zhang Chen glanced at the little tiger and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. Instead, he chose to work obediently.

It was already afternoon when the two of them finished cleaning the hall. After returning to the dormitory building, Zhang Chen grabbed the little kid by the collar and came to the table: "You must keep these runes well. These runes can save lives at critical moments. If you want to activate a rune, just bite your finger, stain it with blood, and silently recite 'Hurry up and obey the command' in your heart, and you can naturally activate the power of the rune."

Xiao Douding took the rune from Zhang Chen and looked at the paper with a look of surprise: "Where did you buy this rune paper? It seems different from the one in our Taoist temple."

Zhang Chen touched the little boy's head and said, "This is a treasure that I made exclusively. Where can I buy it outside?"

"Zhang Chen, thank you so much!"

The little boy looked at Zhang Chen with a strange expression, then solemnly put the rune into the storage bag on his sleeve. At a certain moment, he suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Chen, and there was some uncertainty in his voice: "Junior brother."

"Huh?" Zhang Chen was practicing calligraphy. Hearing this, he turned his head and looked at the little kid.

"Are you having mental problems?" Cheng Yu asked cautiously.

Zhang Chen's expression froze upon hearing this, and his tone rose a little: "You still don't believe that I can cultivate immortality? Do you think I'm crazy?"

"I believe it! I believe it!" Little Douding hastily guaranteed, "How can I not believe you? I believe you can become an immortal through practicing Qi cultivation, and become immortal forever. I will have to rely on you to protect me in the future."

After hearing what Xiao Douding said and looking at his sincere eyes, Zhang Chen's doubts gradually disappeared, but he still felt that something seemed to be wrong.

"You continue practicing calligraphy. I have something to go out for." The little boy said to Zhang Chen, then stood up and walked out of the house slowly. When he reached the threshold, he turned around and looked at Zhang Chen, then disappeared in the courtyard.

"There always seems to be something wrong with this little guy." Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

"Does she believe that I am really cultivating immortality?"

Zhang Chen stroked his chin and fell into deep thought: "I should believe it, right? Otherwise, why would she put the talisman away?"
