Chapter 53 Treasure Hunt Talisman
Chen Luo shook his head, put his random thoughts aside for the time being, got up and went to the door to ask for a meal.
After a while, the mistress walked in with a tray, with a meal of two meats and two vegetables on it.
Chen Luo was already hungry, so he immediately feasted and quickly swept away the food.
The mistress waited for Chen Luo to finish eating, packed up the dishes and was about to leave, but Chen Luo called out:
"Wait, little brother, are you a native of Songfan County? Are you familiar with the situation in the city?"
"The villain is from Xujiaji nearby, but I often go to the city to buy it. I am quite familiar with the situation in the city. Young Master, do you have any instructions?" the mistress asked respectfully.
"Then do you know where to buy yellow talisman paper and cinnabar in the county?" Chen Luo asked.
"Yellow talisman paper and cinnabar? We have these two things in our store." The mistress thought for a while and said.
"These two things are not commonly used on weekdays, so do they really exist in the store?" Chen Luo asked with some disbelief.
"It's a coincidence that my shopkeeper invited a mage to the store last month to open a cauldron to pray for blessings and wealth. There were a lot of talisman paper and cinnabar left, all piled up in the backyard. If the young master needs it, I'll ask the shopkeeper for some?" The little three said with a smile.
"I'll trouble you like this." Chen Luo said, taking out a small piece of silver and giving it to the other party.
"Thank you, my son. Do you have any other needs besides the talisman paper? The villain will come to you together." The little son was overjoyed. This small piece of silver was worth two or three taels, which was worth three or four months of his salary.
"If you don't say it, I almost forgot. Can you find some fresh black blood for me, and a set of pen, ink, paper and ink. Well, tung oil, make me some tung oil." Chen Luo said after pondering for a moment.
"There is a slaughterhouse in the town, which is very bloody. There are tung oil sold in the nearby grocery store, and there are also ready-made ones in the pen, ink, paper and ink shop. Young Master wait, I will get it for you now." The mistress said and left.
After half an hour, he ran back, holding another tray in his hand, with a sinking object on it.
Chen Luo checked and confirmed that it was correct, he waved his little son away and immediately began to try to draw the small thunder talisman with the ability of "treasure hunting".
He picked up the pen and filled the talisman with ink, but did not start drawing the talisman immediately, but instead showed a deep thought on his face.
Although he had mastered the way to draw the little thunder talisman, the little thunder talisman that found the jade pillow was drawn in a daze. Now it is not easy to make another one.
He tried his best to recall the situation when he drew the treasure-hunting thunder talisman, but many days had passed, and many things happened one after another during this period. He scraped his stomach and could only barely recall 30 to 40%.
Chen Luo recalled these 300% of the memories several times, but he still started to try it out after writing.
In addition to the part he remembered, he also tried his best to imitate the previous painting method in other places.
...
I don’t know how long it took, a thick stack of “little thunder talismans” appeared on the table in front of Shen Luo.
"So many, it should be almost the same. One should be effective." Chen Luo murmured.
He then began to soak treasure hunting talismans in tung oil, which was soon soaked in tung oil.
Chen Luo took out the talismans one by one, wiped the oil stains on the surface, and carefully baked them with the lamp flame to make oil paper talismans.
He threw one of the oil talismans into a basin filled with clear water. The oil talismans did not get wet and softened, and the runes on them were bright red as they were.
I will go to the river to find treasure tomorrow. In order to prevent the talisman from being destroyed by water, I thought of this method.
When he was at home, he saw a servant using tung oil to make waterproof oil paper, so he copied it. He didn't think this method was really effective.
He took out the three small thunder talismans on his body and dealt with them in the same way.
After doing this, I was extremely tired and fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already bright outside, and the sunlight shone into the room through the window, as if golden threads were cut.
Shen Luo stood up and opened the window. The sky was blue and quiet as a mirror. Occasionally, it was dotted with a few fine and white clouds. It was obvious that today would be a good weather.
He quickly finished washing up, but did not set off immediately. Instead, he took the pen and ink and wrote a letter at his desk.
A few days ago, I received a letter from home in Chunqiuguan. However, recently, he has been troubled by various things and forgot to write a reply. He met Liu Baichuan yesterday and remembered it again.
My father met with me:
The child saw everything well in the spring and autumn, and his cultivation was quite smooth, and his physique improved greatly, and he was no longer as weak as before.
I wonder if the situation at home is good? Second Mother, Second Brother, and Younger Sister’s recent situation?
The last time my father mentioned the plague in the Niuyue Town area in the west of the city, it was a pulmonary heat disease. The child carefully considered it over the past few days, combined with the ancient prescription Lotus Qingwen Decoction, he figured out a prescription, using lotus, ephedra, almond, patchouli, rhodiola, mint, and licorice as medicine. It should have a relief effect. The specific dosage will be stated later at the end of the letter.
Chen Luo immediately wrote about some things about his observation of the Spring and Autumn Period, without mentioning his current condition at all, so as not to worry his family.
Having written this, he stopped writing the tip of the pen and wrote in detail the recipe of "Lotus Qingwen Soup", drying the ink marks, and putting the letter away.
Chen Luo was eager to find treasures, and after doing this, he got up and went to the inn lobby.
"Young Master Chen, you have to set off so early?" The shopkeeper surnamed Hou immediately greeted Chen Luo with a bag on his back and immediately welcomed him enthusiastically.
"Shopkeeper Hou, this is paying yesterday's house payment and Dr. Liu's medical expenses. Yesterday, he was in a hurry and forgot about this matter. He asked the shopkeeper to hand it over for me." Chen Luo said, taking out two pieces of silver and putting it on the counter.
"It's just one night, so why don't you use that much?" The shopkeeper surnamed Hou waved his hands repeatedly.
"I was sick yesterday, and thanks to the shopkeeper's help, I was able to turn the danger into safety in time. What is unnecessary is a thank you gift." Chen Luo bowed and walked out quickly without waiting for the shopkeeper's name Hou to say anything.
The shopkeeper surnamed Hou raised his hand, as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw Shen Luo's slightly anxious face, he swallowed the words back.
