Chapter 737: Refining Talismans
"I won't need it." Zhang Yu shook his head quickly.
Just the fried chestnuts fried with sugar that Ouyang Yanyan used her hand to stir-fry, can it still be eaten?
Wait, Zhang Yu suddenly realized something was wrong. How could Ouyang Yanyan use her hands to stir-fry chestnuts? Isn’t it hot?
He was surprised that Ouyang Yanyan had already grabbed the sugar-fried chestnuts from the pot and turned around and walked over.
She was wearing a wide Taoist robe and her tied bun, but her pretty figure and beautiful appearance were hard to make her look beautiful. She looked like a romantic Taoist priest.
"Abbot, you are here." She smiled at Zhang Yu, followed her to Pan Sheng, peeled two sugar-fried chestnuts with her own hands, fed them to Pan Sheng, and then came to Zhang Yu and "taste one."
"Can you eat this? Don't you feel this hand burned just now?" Zhang Yu looked at her curiously.
"Why can't I eat it?" Ouyang Yanyan peeled off one, ate it himself, and said proudly: "The toxins on my hands can be sent and received with ease, but the master said that my palm power is too weak and I need to practice hard, so I asked me to do this. It was quite hot at first, but now it's nothing."
"So fast" Zhang Yu was shocked.
"Master is so smart." Ouyang Yanyan said, peeling a chestnut and sending it to Zhang Yu's mouth, "Try how it tastes."
It was hard to refuse the kindness, so Zhang Yu had to open his mouth and ate one. It was really good. Not only was it not poisonous, but it also tasted particularly good.
"Uncle Master, you have to sell for at least fifteen yuan per pound." Zhang Yu said with a smile.
"This is not enough to eat, so go out and sell it." Ouyang Yanyan curled her lips.
"Junior sister, I want it even." Pan Sheng, who was stomping, came again.
"You wait." Ouyang Yanyan glanced at this guy.
Before, Ouyang Yanyan was looking for death, but after she arrived at the Taoist temple, she looked like a newborn. Seeing her happy face, Zhang Yu was also happy.
After a few more greetings in the yard, Zhang Yu walked into the room opposite.
On the kang, Sun Zhaoyi was still wearing white clothes and sat cross-legged.
Just listening to the sound, she could know who it was. Because there were no outsiders, she took the lead and said respectfully: "Sect Master, you are here."
"Uncle Grand Master, I heard Wang Jie say you are looking for me." Zhang Yu sat down by the kang.
"The front yard is very lively today. I asked, and it turned out that I was asking you to become a disciple. This is a good thing." Sun Zhaoyi said.
"The key to a good thing is that I don't have so much time to teach my apprentices," Zhang Yu frowned.
Back then, Lao Wang taught him skills almost every day, and how many years he had learned it before he could calculate his disciples. He asked himself to lead so many disciples, so he didn't have to do anything else all day long.
"If the Taoist sect wants to carry forward, they must have personal disciples to accumulate merits and promote the reputation of Wudang sect. I know you have done a good job, but unfortunately a person's ability is limited after all. Look at Baimei Palace, there are countless disciples under his sect. If they only rely on their abbot to finish their work alone, they may be able to reach the sky and the earth, and Baimei Palace can only be a small temple." Sun Zhaoyi said seriously.
"This is right." Zhang Yu nodded.
"As the saying goes, the master leads his way to practice alone. You don't need to teach them every day. It's enough to take one or two days a week. As for preaching, I think they understand more than you." Sun Zhaoyi smiled faintly.
"That's true." Zhang Yu said.
"You showed off your supernatural powers at the White Eyebrow Palace's Seal Elevation Ceremony. Today's people are all aiming for this. You are too sharp and too anxious." Sun Zhaoyi said with some concern this time.
"At that time, I also asked those real people to be too anxious. I didn't say anything. This morning, Zhenren Yuan came to me and said that he wanted me to convert to Baimei Palace. Five years later, I passed the position of the abbot of Baimei Palace to me. I didn't agree," Zhang Yu said truthfully.
Sun Zhaoyi nodded with satisfaction and said, "The ancestors will not misjudgment. But in this way, the road without being a Taoist temple in the future will be difficult to walk."
"What do you mean is that Zhenren Yuan will make things difficult for our Taoist temple?" Zhang Yu said.
"Although it is not as good as it seems, there will inevitably be grudges in your heart. You are the vice president responsible for the certificate of tribute, but Baimei Palace is in charge of teaching seals after all, so you must not punish Baimei Palace in many things." Sun Zhaoyi said earnestly.
"I understand that if you offend Baimei Palace, you won't have to be taught seal script in the future." Zhang Yu nodded.
"No need to say that, teaching seals means adhering to the way of heaven. When you reach the stage of refining teachers or lawyers, you will have more insights. By that time, you can even open an oath to teach seals to your disciples, so why do you need others?" Sun Zhaoyi said.
"I can teach seals to my disciples." Zhang Yu was surprised. He had never heard Sun Zhaoyi mention this before.
"It's too early to do this. The road you need to go is still long, so don't rush for a moment. You already know the power of the blue talisman paper. The first thing you have to do now is to refine the blue talisman paper." Sun Zhaoyi said seriously.
Zhang Yu was shocked. He could barely use blue talisman paper. Now Sun Zhaoyi asked him to refine blue talisman paper directly, which was a bit too exaggerated.
The old saying goes, you don’t know if it’s windy or rainy, but you don’t know how many bowls of rice you can eat in one meal?
Sun Zhaoyi smiled slightly and said, "In Taoism, refining talisman paper has always been the most mysterious thing. Only core disciples know about it, and some even only abbots of one sect know it. It seems extremely sacred and difficult to get involved in others, but if you tell it out, it is actually very simple. Our Wudang Taoist Temple was also one of the nine sects in the world back then. If you can't even refining talisman paper, wouldn't it be a joke?"
"Uncle Grand Master, then how do you think you practice?" Zhang Yu suddenly became energetic.
As Sun Zhaoyi said, Zhang Yu has always believed that refining talisman paper is a very mysterious thing.
Zhengren Jia once said that talisman paper is exchanged through merit. Even inside the Baimei Palace, you can only refine talisman paper with relatively low grades. High-end talisman paper has to be exchanged for merit in Longhu Mountain.
This situation is similar to being a working person who works for the boss. After he has done enough, he will be given a salary, that is, talisman paper or something.
If you can refine talisman paper, you will not be a job and will become a boss.
Sun Zhaoyi said calmly: "Do you know what the main material for papermaking is?"
"I know this." Even though Zhang Yu was not well educated, he still knew about papermaking by his family's ancestral carpenter, "it was to make paper with wood pulp."
"That's right!" Sun Zhaoyi nodded and said, "Ordinary paper is made of wood, and talisman paper is also made of wood. However, the higher the talisman paper, the better the wood is needed."
"So that's how it is!" Zhang Yu's eyes lit up, "I understand the wood!"
Finally talked about my strengths...
