Chapter 684: Great Talent! Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
-[There are innate and postnatal talismans. Simply put, only geniuses can draw innate talismans. As the saying goes, “A little ingenuity is a talisman”. Besides, there are complicated rules when it comes to drawing postnatal talismans. Ordinary people draw postnatal talismans but Xiang Yi uses the innate talisman drawing method. Umm honestly, you can choose not to believe it, but you can’t disrespect it, right?]
However, Xiang Yi did not care so much. She was drawing a “clear heart talisman” that she had learned in some immortal realm, which has the effect of calming the mind and calming the spirit.
The only thing was that she was in her own world, and there was no so-called magic. There is no spiritual energy in the world and she didn’t think that there was going to be any substantial effect.
It was undoubtedly just for coaxing children like Shi Yu.
Unbeknownst to her, the video of her drawing the talisman happened to be seen by a certain talisman enthusiast…
Professor Zhu was quite knowledgeable about traditional Chinese culture and was especially interested in Mountain and Sea Scriptures, mythology and other fields.
He was a History professor at Nancheng University, and he had an extremely healthy daily life too. Apart from attending classes and leading graduate students, he refines herbal pills, grows flowers on the balcony and vegetables in the backyard.
Since he had an exchange with a few Taoist masters at an academic event, he became interested in the seal script, and apart from analyzing the culture, history and origin behind it, he would occasionally draw a few seals for fun.
After scientific research, he found that it was really difficult to draw the talismans.
First of all, it was difficult for him to remember how to draw the seal, as it is like a traditional Chinese character.
Secondly, the drawer is required to finish the drawing in one breath without any interruption.
These two requirements are difficult for many people.
Today, he came to attend a book presentation by some graduate students, and before it was time, some people were watching the video.
Professor Zhu was not like some old-fashioned teachers who are resistant to popular things and trends. On the contrary, he was quite fashionable and trendy, and thought that as long as the students had completed their study tasks, there was nothing wrong with playing games and watching videos.
Everything was fine as long as it was done in moderation.
Hence, not only did he not reprimand his students, but he also held onto his thermos flash and watched the livestream together with them with great interest.
They happened to play to the part were Xiang Yi was drawing talismans. At first Professor Zhu thought that Xiang Yi was just fooling around and making casual strokes with the brush. However, the moment she really started drawing…
Professor Zhu subconsciously held his breath.
Xiang Yi started moving lazily, as if she was making a casual drawing.
However, in a moment, a talisman seal was formed in her hands.
The student muttered, “What is this thing? Why does it look like a talisman drawn by a ghost…”
However, Professor Zhu slapped his thigh and exclaimed, “Great!”
The student was startled and trembled, “Teacher…? I’m I’m not looking, I’ll start reading right now.”
However, Professor Zhu praised repeatedly, “The next stroke is so godly. It’s done in one take!”
“The drawing is not confined to the form. How free-spirited!”
“All it takes to draw a talisman is a little light. The world has wasted so much ink!”
“This young lady is a great talent in the art of talismans!”
The students were dumbstruck. “What?? Teacher, are you a Spicy Rabbit too? Why are you so good at praising her!?!
The other side.
A Taoist temple in Nancheng.
A young Taoist priest also found the video of Xiang Yi’s talisman drawing. He rubbed his eyes, confirmed again and again, and then ran wildly with his legs, shouting as he ran.
“Master, Master! Someone has drawn a talisman that looks the same as Grandmaster’s!”
“What nonsense are you spouting?” The immortal-like Taoist master stroked his beard, and when he looked at the symbolic seal on the video, his pupils instantly quaked!
It…it’s the Heart Cleansing Talisman!?!
