Shen Luo shook his head, put aside his random thoughts for the time being, got up and went to the door to ask for a meal.
After a while, Little Third came in holding a tray with a meal of two meat and two vegetables.
Shen Luo had been hungry for a long time, so he ate happily and quickly finished the food.
Little Third waited for Shen Luo to finish eating, put away the dishes, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Shen Luo:
"Wait a minute, little brother, are you a local from Songfan County? Are you familiar with the situation in the city?"
"The villain is from Xu Family Market nearby, but I often go to the city to do shopping, so I am quite familiar with the situation in the city. Master, do you have anything to tell me?" Little Third asked respectfully.
"Then do you know where I can buy Yellow Talisman Paper and Cinnabar in the county?" Shen Luo asked.
"Yellow Talisman Paper and Cinnabar? We have these two things in the store." Little Third thought for a while and said.
"These two items are not commonly used on weekdays. Do they really exist in the store?" Shen Luo asked in disbelief.
"It's a coincidence that my shopkeeper invited a mage to come to the shop last month to open an altar to pray for blessings and fortune. There are a lot of talisman paper and cinnabar left, which are piled in the backyard. If you need it, sir, I can ask the shopkeeper for some for you?" Little Third said with a smile.
"I'm sorry to trouble you." Shen Luo said, taking out a small piece of broken silver and giving it to the other party as a reward.
"Thank you, sir. In addition to talisman paper and cinnabar, do you need anything else? I will find it for you." Little Third was overjoyed. This small piece of silver was worth two or three taels, which was worth his three or four months' wages.
"If you don't tell me, I almost forgot. Can you find me some fresh black dog blood, and a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Well, tung oil, get me some more tung oil." Shen Luo said after thinking for a moment.
"There is a slaughterhouse in the town. Dog blood is very easy to find. Tung oil is sold in the nearby grocery store. There are also ready-made pens, inks, paper and inkstones in the store. Master, wait a moment, I will get it for you." Little Third said, and left in a hurry.
Half an hour later, he ran back, holding another tray with Shen Luo things on it.
Shen Luo checked it and after confirming that it was correct, he waved away Little Third and immediately began to try to draw Minor Thunder Talisman, which had the "treasure hunting" ability.
He picked up the pen and filled it with Talisman Ink, but he did not start drawing the symbols immediately, but looked thoughtful.
Although he has mastered the painting method of Minor Thunder Talisman, the original Minor Thunder Talisman he found Jade Pillow was painted 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-Seeking Minor Thunder Talisman, but many days had passed, and many things happened one after another during this period. He tried his best to recall only 30 to 40% of it.
Shen Luo recalled these 30% to 40% memories several times, and finally started to try.
Except for the parts he remembered, he also tried his best to imitate his previous painting methods in other parts.
I don't know how much time passed, but there was a thick stack of "Minor Thunder Talisman" on the table in front of Shen Luo.
"There are so many, it should be enough. One of them must be effective." Shen Luo murmured.
He then began to soak the pieces of Treasure-Seeking Talisman in tung oil, and the talismans were quickly soaked in tung oil.
Shen Luo took out the talismans one by one, wiped the oil stains on the surface, carefully dried them with a lamp flame, and made pieces of oil paper talismans.
He then put one of the oil talismans into a basin filled with clean water. The oil talisman did not get wet and softened, and the runes on it were still bright red as before.
Tomorrow I am going to hunt for treasure in the river. In order to prevent the talisman from being damaged by water, Shen Luo came up with this method.
When he was at home, he saw his servants using tung oil to make waterproof oil paper, so he copied the gourd and painted the gourd. He did not expect that this method was really effective.
He took out the three Minor Thunder Talisman cards on his body and processed them in the same way.
After doing this, Shen Luo 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 it had been cut with golden lines.
Shen Luo stood up and opened the window. The sky was blue and as quiet as a bright mirror, occasionally dotted with a few fine and white clouds. It was obvious that today would be a good day.
He quickly finished washing up, but did not get on the road immediately. Instead, he took a pen and ink and wrote a letter at his desk.
A few days ago, Spring Autumn Temple received a letter from home, but recently, he has been troubled by various things and forgot to write a reply. Only when he met Liu Baichuan yesterday did he remember it again.
Father, the letter is like a meeting:
Everything is fine for the child at Spring Autumn Temple, and his cultivation is going quite smoothly. His physical condition has improved greatly and he is no longer as weak as before.
I wonder how the situation at home is? How are the second mother, second brother, and little sister doing?
The last time his father's letter mentioned the plague in Cow Moon Town in the west of the city, it was definitely a lung-heat disease. The boy had carefully considered it over the past few days and combined it with the ancient prescription Lotus Antiplague Decoction to come up with a recipe that used seven ingredients: lotus, ephedra, almond, patchouli, rhodiola, mint, and licorice. It should have a relieving effect. The specific dosage will be written at the end of the letter later.
Shen Luo then wrote some things about himself at Spring Autumn Temple, without mentioning his current condition at all, so as not to worry his family.
At this point, he stopped writing, wrote the formula of "Lotus Antiplague Decoction" in detail, dried the ink, and put the letter away.
Shen Luo was eager to hunt for treasures. After finishing this, he got up and went to the inn lobby.
"Mr. Shen, are you going to set off so early?" The shopkeeper surnamed Hou saw Shen Luo approaching with a bag on his back, and immediately greeted him enthusiastically.
"Shopkeeper Hou, this is yesterday's rent payment and Dr. Liu's consultation fee. I was in such a hurry yesterday that I forgot about it and asked the shopkeeper to hand it over to me." Shen Luo said, taking out two pieces of broken silver and placing them on the counter.
"It's just for one night, how can we use so much." The shopkeeper surnamed Hou waved his hand repeatedly.
"I fell ill yesterday. Thanks to the help of the shopkeeper, I was able to turn the crisis around in time. The extra money can be regarded as a thank you gift." Shen Luo cupped his hands and walked quickly outside without waiting for the shopkeeper surnamed Hou to say anything.
The shopkeeper surnamed Hou raised his hand, as if he wanted to say something, but saw Shen Luo's slightly anxious face and swallowed his words back.
Outside the inn, Little Third had already led the horse over. Shen Luo got on the horse and urged the horse to leave quickly.
