Chapter 395: Materials for Red and Black Talismans

After redeeming the new blessing, it was calm, as if nothing had happened.

Ouyang Rong was already used to it and returned to the Huaiye Alley residence for dinner as usual.

God knows how this blessing is fulfilled, anyway, it's quite metaphysical every time, can only be inferred afterwards.

Even for the ten-thousand-merit blessing in the Pure Land Underground Palace, after redemption, there was a gap interval.

Moreover, according to Ouyang Rong's realization of "emptiness of origin" not long ago.

Cause and effect, cause and effect, the cause does not go directly to the fruit.

There is also a "rise of conditions" in the middle.

A cause actually has many fruits, such as good fruits, evil fruits, how to ensure it reaches the determined fruit?

Ordinary people cannot guarantee it, can only rely on conditions, follow the conditions.

However, according to his experimental inference, the merit value accumulated by the small wooden fish is actually equivalent to "rise of conditions," quantifying it.

And the blessing redeemed with merit is a large, special "rise of conditions," which can exert influence on cause and effect and change the direction.

Simply put, it is to derive a fruit favorable to him after encountering the corresponding cause...

This metaphysical thing, the more you study it, the easier it is to fall into it. Ouyang Rong rubbed his face and put his thoughts aside for the time being.

After dinner, returned to Yinbing Zhai, bathed and changed clothes, took a hot bath, and went to the study for night reading.

Late at night, seeing the white-haired maid asleep, Ouyang Rong took out an old scripture with a wrinkled cover, looked serious, and continued to lower his eyes to flip through it.

It was that "Zhen Gao."

During this period, whenever he had time at night, he would bury his head in deliberation.

Thanks to the omnipotent merit purple mist, which can replace the exclusive spiritual energy of the Daoist lineage, deduce techniques, and practice this scripture.

Recently, he had already gnawed through seven or eight out of ten, reaching the critical point.

After redeeming the new blessing in the evening, the small wooden fish still had eight hundred merits left, so he simply used it all without leaving any, going all out.

No more hesitation.

In front of the desk, the handsome young man holding "Zhen Gao" suddenly closed the book, closed his eyes to look inside, and whispered the "True Person's Oral Instruction"...

The autumn night had fewer insect chirps, and the study was quiet.

I don't know how much time passed.

A smile appeared on Ouyang Rong's closed-eye face, joy hard to hide.

His chest and abdomen were warm, and the spiritual energy in his dantian was running smoothly through unique meridians without any stagnation.

After consuming more than eight hundred merits, he had completely deduced this core technique of the Shangqing Ancestor Hall.

The prerequisite conditions for performing the Shangqing unique skill "Decree of Descending Gods" had all been achieved.

Only missing a red and black talisman.

And this "Zhen Gao" happened to record in detail the talisman-drawing technique, as well as the top-secret incantations that needed to be added.

Ouyang Rong immediately opened his eyes, took out paper and ink with an expectant face, and tried it.

First was drawing the talisman by following the pattern, then it was the awkward incantation for the red and black talisman.

Soon, a talisman appeared in his hand.

Ouyang Rong tried to inject merit purple mist.

But... there was no movement.

His originally flying eyebrows gradually furrowed.

"Why is this?"

Turned back to check again.

Technique operation, talisman-drawing technique, incantation addition... all links had no problems.

After repeated confirmation, only the last link remained.

Ouyang Rong's slightly condensed gaze fell on the... ordinary paper and ink talisman lying quietly in his palm.

"Is the grade of paper and ink not enough..."

The next day, morning.

Ouyang Rong ran to the Han Lei Mozhai, surprisingly not seeing Rong Zhen's figure.

"Your female official hasn't come yet? Did she oversleep?"

Ouyang Rong asked the female official guarding the Han Lei Mozhai curiously.

"Don't know, the female official has been moving around recently, Changshi can leave a message if you need."

"Okay." He nodded thoughtfully.

Could it be that the case is truly difficult to investigate, giving birth to laziness?

No, it doesn't look like Rong Zhen's style.

If something is abnormal, there must be a demon. He kept an eye on it, pressed it down for the time being, and called Beside Yan Liulang out.

Beside Yan Liulang was also confused:

"This female official has indeed been coming quite late recently. I thought she had important matters and shifted her focus elsewhere."

Ouyang Rong nodded slightly:

"Elsewhere? She doesn't even go to the Xunyang Grottoes to supervise the progress... If there are any signs, tell me immediately."

"Yes, Mingfu." Beside Yan Liulang clasped his fists seriously.

Ouyang Rong thought for a while, and by the way mentioned the Yangzhou merchants, ordering Beside Yan Liulang to send people to watch.

Blocking people's wealth is like killing their parents. The eyes of some unconvinced people among those Yangzhou merchants made Ouyang Rong alert.

The identity of Jiangzhou Changshi is not necessarily absolutely safe. People can open their brains even when sitting in a convertible car. He also has to be careful when riding Dongmei to go shopping.

Must prevent some off-board moves, although Ouyang Rong is already an eighth-grade sword-wielder and not too afraid of these, it's hard to say for the people around him.

As the male host of the Huaiye Alley residence, he must prevent risks, even if it's subtle, he must eliminate it.

After arranging this matter, Ouyang Rong went out and went straight to the Xunyang Wang Fu, finding Lu Ya.

Ouyang Rong first asked about the Huang family father and daughter, and chatted for a while.

The two walked on the corridor together. During the idle chat, he asked without moving a trace:

"Daoist Lu is the mountain walker of Maoshan. Now, is Daoist the only core disciple of Maoshan under the mountain?"

Lu Ya's nodding action stopped, and he sighed lightly: "Actually, strictly speaking, there is one more?"

"Who?"

Lu Ya shook his head: "Considered my half junior brother."

"Half?"

"Because Master was not very willing to accept him as a disciple, and teaching him Daoist methods was helpless, because... he is Master's own flesh and blood, but has no talent, and has a perverse personality, causing trouble everywhere, inconsistent with Master's concept... and has always been unconvinced by Master's arrangements."

"What arrangement?"

"The junior brother wanted to inherit all of Master's mantle, but Master wouldn't let him, and didn't call him back before leaving, and even joining the Ancestor Hall, Master didn't loosen his mouth until he passed away. The junior brother left the mountain in anger, and even blamed me, saying I snatched his things."

Ouyang Rong remembered the frivolous Daoist he had slaughtered at will to explode gold coins, coughed, and looked concerned:

"Daoist Lu doesn't go find him? After all, he is a junior brother."

"No need, Master told me not to care about him, saying it was Master's own evil fate, and he should have retribution..."

Lu Ya had a paralyzed face, hesitated:

"Actually, coming to Xunyang is to find him. He knows I came to Xunyang to assist the Wang Fu, saying he might cause trouble, but when I came over, I didn't see his shadow, so forget it."

"So that's it." Ouyang Rong was unmoved, and confirmed more and more in his mind.

Coming to cause trouble? Sorry, already slaughtered for you. Didn't see his shadow, because he was burned to ashes.

Ouyang Rong finally understood why this person had the Shangqing core technique "Zhen Gao."

And it was indeed going against Lu Ya's advocacy of helping the Xunyang Wang Fu, turning to help the Wei clan, truly a strange brain circuit. No wonder that Yuan old gentleman didn't recognize him as a closed-door disciple, clearly he was his own flesh and blood, just like the junior sister and the mentor Xie Xun.

It's just that Ouyang Rong couldn't figure out for a while whether slaughtering this person counted as forming an enmity with Lu Ya and the Shangqing Sect.

Thinking from another angle, maybe it was getting rid of a disaster? Anyway, their Shangqing Ancestor Hall definitely couldn't handle it well. Maybe they should thank him. After all, even the old Heavenly Master Yuan said it was an evil fate, he was helping the old Heavenly Master cut off the evil fate.

Cough, so your Shangqing Sect, giving me a few red and black talismans is no problem, hmm, if you don't give them, I'll learn them myself, you don't speak, I'll take it as your default...

Ouyang Rong nodded shamelessly and asked suddenly:

"I have long admired the great name of the three Daoist mountains of talismans. I heard that the reason why the three pure ones are called the three Daoist mountains of talismans by outsiders is because each possesses a type of precious talisman. Hmm, like Daoist's mountain gate, what kind of talisman is it?"

"It's a red and black talisman."

"What's the use?"

"The talisman is a treasure of the three mountains, can send gods and command ghosts, suppress demons and press evil, cure diseases and seek blessings... generally not passed on, as for the use, it is not convenient to tell."

Ouyang Rong was unmoved: "Oh, speaking of which, the talisman paper, pine ink, etc., used to make such precious talismans, should be very expensive, quite a lot of money."

"It's not a matter of expensive or not." Lu Ya said softly: "The world's top-grade talisman paper and spiritual ink cannot be bought with money. Talisman paper can still be warmed and nurtured slowly, but spiritual ink requires blessings."

"What blessings?"

Lu Ya's words were vague, "Has Ouyang Young Master heard of any strange monsters or ghosts?"

Ouyang Rong thought about it:

"Junior sister mentioned it, saying that there are actually foxes and birds that can speak human language in the world, warning me not to be deceived by little fox spirits, as expected, fox spirits all like this kind of handsome scholar like me... But what does this have to do with the ink needed for talismans?"

"If you haven't heard of it, forget it. If Ouyang Young Master is really curious, if there is a chance to go to Maoshan in the future, I can show you a red and black talisman, not convenient now."

He blinked: "Daoist Lu didn't bring one when traveling?"

Lu Ya was noncommittal: "This is a treasure, the Ancestor Hall doesn't easily grant it."

Not saying much more, he said goodbye and left, leaving Ouyang Rong alone, lost in thought:

"Special talisman paper, and spiritual ink... This kid is a riddle-maker even if he doesn't speak much, but it's also true, after all, it's a sect treasure, being able to tell me, an outsider, so much and satisfy some curiosity is already giving enough face."

He furrowed his brows and muttered to himself:

"Learning a Shangqing unique skill is truly troublesome, just missing the last step, where to find it, blessings? Sorry, I only have blessings, but this thing is random."

"However, according to Lu Ya's statement, if one can obtain the corresponding paper and ink, doesn't it mean that not only the Shangqing unique skill, but also the two town-sect talismans required by the Taiqing and Yuqing unique skills, have a chance to be made? After all, the three sects of talismans are one family, same sect different pulse..."
