Chapter 261: The first time I saw someone showing off his wife in front of so many people
"Puchi" This was not the first time Nan Xuanwei heard such words, but it was particularly interesting to hear them coming from such a cute little girl.
"Yihuan, have you finished drawing your talisman?" Lan Chen walked over and asked.
Nan Xuanwei pointed at Lan Yihuan and asked, "Is this your sister?" They didn't look alike at all, and Nan Xuanwei didn't even think about it that way.
"Yes, she has some talent in drawing talismans, but she often has wild ideas. You should draw the talisman quickly, someone else has already done it." Lan Chen urged his sister.
Nan Xuanwei didn't want to disturb her anymore and whispered, "Draw what you want to draw. Come on!"
"Idol, will I be able to see you again in the future?" The little girl's eyes were full of stars, her hands were clenched into fists, and her body was twisting and turning, just like a little fangirl.
"Of course you can, draw it now!"
Half an hour later everyone handed in their talismans. The two who drew the thunder talisman, one succeeded while the other failed. Lan Yihuan also failed. Nan Xuanwei picked up the talisman she drew. The little girl was quite smart. With some guidance, maybe she could draw the Five Thunder Talisman in a year or two.
“Is this your highest level? I heard that the Five Thunder Talisman has been frequently used in recent years, but no one in the younger generation can draw it?” If this is the case, then there is nothing to be afraid of with these Taoist temples and Taoist associations in the Yuan Dynasty.
Representatives of several hidden families felt that they could stand up again!
"You talk as if someone from the younger generation of your secluded family can draw the Five Thunder Talisman. If so, please shout it out so that we can broaden our horizons!" Zhao Junqing squeezed to the front and asked.
Among the hidden families, only the most declining Situ family is good at drawing talismans. About forty years ago, a fire broke out in the Situ family, and the talismans and inheritance that were used as treasures to protect the house were destroyed. The head of the family turned white overnight, and the two most talented younger generations were traumatized and never drew talismans again. Nowadays, only amulets, peace charms and rain-praying talismans are circulating back and forth in the hidden families. Last time, the Nanxuan family finally got the remaining talisman of the shrinking the earth into an inch, but they didn't expect that it would end up in Nan Xuanwei's hands, and she really drew it out.
"This is how your Taoist Association treats guests!" Dugu Hao felt humiliated when he saw that Zhao Junqing only had a staff badge on his body.
"For those who sincerely come to exchange and learn from each other, we will definitely treat them with courtesy. If someone deliberately comes to cause trouble, not only the Taoist Association, but also the Taoist temples and Taoist colleges will not let them mess around."
"That's right, you really have amazing younger generations. Those who have outstanding abilities in drawing talismans or catching ghosts can show them and convince us. The school of metaphysics relies on real skills, not just eloquence. Your hidden family has always had a special status in the world of metaphysics and has an innate sense of superiority. You have to let us see where your sense of superiority comes from!" Xiao Shiyu said to Dugu Hao.
"As far as I know, Mr. Xiao is not from the Xuanmen sect!"
"To be honest, I also know a little bit about metaphysics. I have a powerful wife and several senior brothers to help me. If you want to compete with me, you can, but you have to tell me in advance that I don't know how to draw talismans or perform medical skills. You can ask me for help in catching ghosts and fighting. Can Master Dugu teach me?"
In the past, what we heard most was people showing off their family background and wealth, but today is the first time I heard someone showing off his wife in front of so many people!
This couple is more difficult to deal with than the other. If you ask the heads of several hidden families who they dislike the most, Nan Xuanwei would be ranked first, and Xiao Shiyu would be ranked second.
"Since we are discussing the skill of drawing talismans today, could we ask President Zhao and Taoist Qinglin to show us their skills so that we can learn from them?" someone suggested.
With his junior sister around, Zhao Jingzhou didn't want to make a fool of himself: "Let Taoist Qinglin come. I haven't drawn talismans for some years. I don't even know how to start."
Taoist Master Qinglin walked to the front with a whisk in his hand, asked his disciples to spread out the paper, burn incense and wash their hands, and signaled everyone to keep quiet and not disturb him while he was drawing the talisman.
"Wife, I remember you didn't say so much when drawing talismans!" Xiao Shiyu asked in a low voice into Nan Xuanwei's ear.
"My master also asked me to do the same when I first learned to draw talismans. Later, I found it troublesome and lazy, and then I realized that these steps can be completely omitted and are useless."
"My wife must be too talented. She doesn't need to go through these procedures. The Taoist priest is already very old, but he still burns incense and washes his hands. This proves that these are still useful in the eyes of ordinary people."
Is that so? Nan Xuanwei turned around and saw that Taoist Qinglin had already picked up the brush and was breathing in and out, adjusting his breath, in order to finish the talisman in one stroke.
As soon as he put pen to paper, Nan Xuanwei could tell that the other party wanted to draw a thunder talisman. After the talisman was completed, it was indeed much better than the one drawn by the previous student. The lines were smooth and there was no problem in attracting lightning.
"Master Qinglin is really amazing!" Lin Mufei gave a thumbs up and winked at Nan Xuanwei. He is just a little worse than my Xiaowu.
"If anyone can draw the Five Thunder Talisman, my Shentu family is willing to pay one million for each one."
"My Dugu family will offer 1.2 million."
"Weiwei can definitely draw it, right? Don't you want to let everyone here see your strength?" Nan Xuanqi guessed that Nan Xuanwei was at least 50% sure that she could draw the Five Thunder Talisman.
If she could draw it in front of so many people, it would definitely cause a sensation, and her embarrassment yesterday would be overshadowed; if she couldn't draw it, it would be a disgrace to Ziyun Temple, Zhao Jingzhou, Lin Mufei and the Xiao family, wouldn't they have to set up a new sect? If she couldn't even draw the Five Thunder Talisman, how could she still bring it up in the future?
"Didn't we agree that I will compete with you guys after the trials are over? Whether I can draw it or not will be revealed then. Are you so eager to know my true ability because you think I will definitely be outdone by you? Then you'll be disappointed. I'm afraid if I show you my skills now, you won't be able to stay here any longer."
"Are you so confident?" Dugu Hao didn't believe that their several hidden families would not be able to intimidate a little girl.
"Whether I am confident or arrogant will be revealed in a few days. Now I am a staff member, and I hope everyone will abide by the rules and not cause trouble."
In the afternoon, Taoist Qinglin and Lan Wenhui gave a lecture to young people who liked to draw talismans. Nan Xuanwei also sat below and listened carefully. Qinglin did not understand her strength, so Lan Wenhui set up several tricky and difficult questions for Nan Xuanwei to answer. Gradually, those young people found that Nan Xuanwei really knew a lot, and many of the things that had puzzled them before were figured out after her explanation.
"A talent like you should be a lecturer at the Taoist College. I'll give you a director position. You don't have to work in the office. You can go there whenever you have time."
"Please don't make it difficult for me, Dean Lan. I don't have the time. But I like Yihuan very much. Please tell her that she can come and play with me."
"really?"
"It's better to wait until I have severed my relationship with the hidden family. I don't want to implicate you."
