Chapter 87: Learning the Invisibility Talisman

When they first entered Yanjiang County, Seeing Man Gu had suggested informing the local government about the Yanjiang Branch to find Qin Yuanhao together, but was rejected by Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou on the grounds that the government was untrustworthy.

Now it seemed that the worries of the two were not unreasonable.

The Yanjiang Branch had planted an undercover agent in the government office, and their status was not low!

Branch Master Chu said slowly: "Lu Yang, among the high-level of the Yanjiang Branch, you are the one I value most. After the Spring Picking Festival, people from above will come to inspect the Yanjiang Branch. This inspection is different from the past. This time, with you, Meng Jingzhou, and Seeing Man Gu, three Demonic Path seeds, the evaluation from above will be much higher for me."

"I have a great chance of being promoted. In this way, the position of Branch Master will be vacant."

"According to convention, the new Branch Master will be selected from the high-level of this branch. Although your qualifications are shallow, considering the Sect Master's evaluation of you, it is not impossible for you to be appointed as the new Branch Master by the above."

"Your competitors are still locked in prison and won't be able to come out until three days later. With such stupid behavior, the evaluation of these people from above will not be too high."

"The Spring Picking Festival is a big festival in several nearby counties, and the influence is not small. If some things happen during such a festival, the above will look at you with admiration," Branch Master Chu hinted at Lu Yang vaguely.

Lu Yang told Branch Master Chu's words to Meng Jingzhou and others. Meng Jingzhou and Seeing Man Gu were very glad that they chose to spread rumors and make trouble for Qin Yuanhao at the beginning and didn't ask the government for help.

Otherwise, where would there be such a prosperous barbecue shop?

Lu Yang felt whether there was something wrong with their focus.

"It's just that I don't know who the undercover agent arranged by Branch Master Chu is." The four were very troubled. They didn't know who in the government office was qualified to know about the yellow talisman.

"Don't worry, you will know who the undercover agent is when you become the Branch Master. Branch Master Chu values you so much; he will definitely tell you before he leaves!" Meng Jingzhou laughed loudly, not expecting Lu Yang to be promoted so quickly.

If Lu Yang was promoted, wouldn't he and Seeing Man Gu be able to toss around in Yanjiang County as they pleased?

It's good to have someone covering you.

The four were discussing lively when Head Constable Wei's knock on the door came from outside.

"Little Shopkeeper Lu, I'm here to send you a silk banner again."

Lu Yang opened the door and welcomed Head Constable Wei in enthusiastically.

"Yo, you're all here. It's really lively," Head Constable Wei said casually.

"We are discussing yesterday's case."

Hearing Lu Yang say this, Head Constable Wei warned seriously: "Little Shopkeeper Lu, you must keep the case last night confidential and don't talk to others."

"I also know that you are not ordinary people, but cultivators who come here to experience life, and sometimes you act bravely for a just cause."

"But this time is different. This time it involves ruthless Demonic Path cultivators. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger. You must not look for the owner of the talisman paper."

Lu Yang smiled. The Demonic Path warned him not to get involved in this matter, and the Righteous Path also warned him not to get involved in this matter.

"Don't laugh, this is a very serious matter!" Head Constable Wei thought Lu Yang didn't take this matter to heart.

Lu Yang straightened his face and promised not to get involved in this matter again. Only then did Head Constable Wei feel relieved and leave.

"Drink some tea before you go."

Head Constable Wei waved his hand: "No, the leader is urging me urgently, and I have to take people to look for other talisman papers."

After sending Head Constable Wei away, the four of Lu Yang were worried that the government office didn't have enough manpower and might not be able to catch the person in the dark.

If there was a deviation in this matter, I don't know how many people's life span would be taken away by the dark.

Lu Yang lowered his head and thought: "We have learned the method of hiding our breath, but simply using the method of hiding our breath may not be safe."

He looked up at Lan Ting, who was learning to thread skewers with the Chang Gui, and had an idea.

"Fellow Daoist Lan Ting, I have a request."

Lan Ting smiled: "We are all Immortal Sect disciples, cutting demons and removing demons together. I am still your subordinate now, so don't be so distant. Just call me Lan Ting."

Lu Yang followed the trend: "Lan Ting, can you teach us the Invisibility Talisman?"

Lan Ting understood Lu Yang's meaning: "You mean you want to use the Invisibility Talisman to hide your figure and secretly help Head Constable Wei?"

Lu Yang nodded.

"Of course no problem. The Invisibility Talisman is not a very difficult rune. As long as your talent is not too bad, you can learn it in half a day."

Meng Jingzhou and Seeing Man Gu were very excited to hear that they could learn something new again, and it wasn't taught by Lu Yang.

"Have you three learned runes?"

The three shook their heads in unison.

Lan Ting was not surprised: "Then I'll teach you from the beginning."

Lan Ting was also very excited. This was the first time she taught others. When she was in the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace, it was the senior sisters who taught her. Now it was finally her turn to be a teacher.

"The essence of runes is to materialize spells in the form of patterns and fall on paper. You three come from the Congwendao Sect, and your talent in spells is not bad. It will be very easy to learn."

"... The rune gall is the soul of a talisman order. Whether a talisman can fully exert its effect depends to a large extent on whether there is a rune gall guarding it..."

"... The most commonly used pattern in runes is the Cloud Rune. The Cloud Rune is a pattern created by imitating the changing shapes of clouds in the sky, taken from nature..."

"Specifically for the Invisibility Talisman, it is 'Gang' as the rune gall and the ethereal fixed-style Cloud Rune as the pattern."

Lan Ting dipped her fingertips in some clear water, and the fingers walked like dragons and snakes. After a few strokes, she drew an Invisibility Talisman on the desktop. She sucked with her palm, and the Invisibility Talisman left the desktop and adhered to her palm.

Lan Ting patted it on her body, and disappeared under the gaze of the three.

A few breaths later, Lan Ting appeared and smiled lightly: "This is the most elementary Invisibility Talisman, which can only hide the body visually. You should be able to detect my position through details such as breathing and heartbeat."

The three nodded. Even so, that was quite powerful.

"You try it."

After half a day of study, the three had a preliminary understanding of runes and took out the four treasures of the study to try to write the Invisibility Talisman. They couldn't reach the point of using water as a talisman.

Meng Jingzhou practiced calligraphy all year round and wrote a good hand. His right hand and wrist holding the brush were extremely steady.

He operated spiritual energy at the tip of the brush and soon drew an Invisibility Talisman, which was 80% similar to what Lan Ting drew.

After drawing a few more times, it was almost the same as Lan Ting's.

Meng Jingzhou smiled and stuck it on his body, and sure enough, he disappeared.

Seeing Man Gu's talent in this aspect was a bit worse, and his control over spiritual energy was not fine enough. He tried dozens of times before succeeding once. As the number of attempts increased, the success rate became higher and higher.

Lan Ting secretly admired. Truly worthy of being a disciple of the Congwendao Sect, naturally talented in runes.

How was Lu Yang?

Lan Ting looked at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang also soon wrote an Invisibility Talisman, and it was a one-time success. His talent was extremely terrifying.

Lu Yang stuck the Invisibility Talisman on his body, and his whole person disappeared.

However, only the person disappeared, and the clothes were still there.

Like a ghost.

"What the hell!" A magical thing happened; the clothes could talk.

Lu Yang thought that since he was invisible now, he simply took off his clothes.

Then he despairingly discovered that the Invisibility Talisman paper could still be seen.

What kind of invisibility is this!

He almost tore off the Invisibility Talisman paper.

Fortunately, his reason was still working, which didn't let him do this.
