Chapter 1033 One Month

"You said you memorized everything? Are you kidding?"

When Chen You learned that Su Yi had memorized all the contents of "True Spirit Position Chart" and "Mo Zhuan Dan Shu", he didn't believe it at all and even sneered.

"These two books have at least 100,000 words. You can't finish reading them even if you read them carefully, let alone remember them?" Chen You casually threw a barbecued pork bun into his mouth, "If you memorize them, I won't eat barbecued pork buns for breakfast in the future, I'll eat shit!"

"Hey——" Su Yi wanted to stop him, but failed.

"Brother You, why are you so harsh on yourself?" Su Yi sighed, "Besides, I don't defecate until 10 o'clock every day, so you will have to eat breakfast very late in the future?"

"Go to hell!" Chen You laughed and scolded, "Ah Hao, you don't seem like a boaster, swell-faced and fat person, why are you joking with me this time?"

Su Yi shrugged and simply started to recite.

He picked a passage in the middle of "True Spirit Position Chart" and started to recite.

Chen You was smiling at first, saying it was good.

But he couldn't laugh as he listened.

After Su Yi recited a long passage, Chen You's face had completely changed, and his mouth opened into an O shape.

Then Su Yi took a pen and paper from the side and wrote down the contents of "Ink Seal Red Book" while reciting.

Chen You's brain finally resumed functioning.

He looked at Su Yi in shock, shaking his head and exclaiming: "Awesome, so awesome! People like you should be successful in everything you do, why did you end up so miserable and accomplish nothing?"

"One wrong step will lead to a lifetime of mistakes." Su Yi sighed.

He looked at Chen You: "Brother You, do you like dry or liquid food? If you like dry food, I will eat more spicy food in the future; if you like liquid food... I will drink more milk."

"Why don't I understand what you are saying?" Chen You scratched his ears as if nothing had happened, "Ahao, don't talk about these weird things in the future, it makes me lose the mood to teach you how to draw talismans."

Su Yi sighed: "Brother You, where is your integrity?"

"Okay, okay! I'm a dog eye, okay?" Chen You couldn't help laughing, "But you can't swear to me in the future, you are a bit weird."

Chen You shook his head: "Wait!"

After that, he turned and went back to the bedroom. When he came out, he held a stack of books in his hand, each of which was big and thick.

"Haha, this is "The True Explanation of Talismans", a total of eight volumes, recording the drawing methods and effects of more than 4,000 talismans." Chen You put the book on the table in front of Su Yi, and the weight of the book made the table sway. "I don't believe you can finish reading so many books in one day!"

Su Yi's eyes widened.

He picked up a book at random and flipped through it. The dense vertical traditional Chinese characters inside made him feel overwhelmed.

"Brother You, are you kidding me?" Su Yi said speechlessly, "When do I have to finish reading this?"

"If you want to read all of them and remember them all, how long will it take?" Chen You asked.

Su Yi glanced at him and found that Chen You was not joking.

He thought for a while and said, "At least one month."

"One month? Are you sure?" Chen You's eyebrows jumped.

"Sure." Su Yi nodded.

Bang!

Chen You suddenly slapped the table and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Then you should concentrate on reading at home for this month. You don't have to worry about eating. I will send it to you. Also, I will go to your house to find you every day for practice, and you don't have to come out!"

"As long as you really remember all the methods of drawing these more than 4,000 talismans, Ah Hao, I dare not say anything else, at least I dare to guarantee that in the matter of drawing talismans, your achievement is definitely more than a little higher than mine!"

"Brother You means that I should stay at home and study in seclusion for this month?" Su Yi frowned slightly.

"Why? Can't stand loneliness?" Chen You asked.

"That's not the case..." Su Yi shook his head.

Not to mention seclusion for a month, even a year is no problem for him.

The question is, will Ah Jiu wait for him for a month?

Su Yi moved into 2442 in advance, which seemed to have stimulated Ah Jiu's survival plan in advance.

Su Yi has only moved in for a few days? How many times has Ah Jiu done something?

But Chen You said that he had warned Ajiu, and the previous incident of catching the water ghost might have a deterrent effect on Ajiu, making this old guy behave for a while...

"Brother You, your original plan was not to let me finish reading these books before drawing talismans, right?" Su Yi asked.

"Yes," Chen You nodded, "I knew you could remember things so quickly, so I decided on it on a whim."

"Why?" Su Yi asked.

"I originally planned to teach you how to draw the Eight Divine Talismans one by one," Chen You said, "because that's how I learned it when I was a child."

"I learned all my skills from my father, but he died early. After he died, I relied on myself to explore and finally got the skills I have today."

"Without the master's oral and mental instruction, I took a lot of detours. Even the talismans I drew in the first ten years were all copycats, and I didn't know what they meant." Chen You continued, "I had no idea why the talismans I drew had any effect and why they were so powerful."

"It was not until I could draw more and more talismans that I vaguely summarized some principles and understood the principles and meanings of some of the runes."

"Ahao, if I just teach you one by one, today I teach you the Demon Suppression Talisman, tomorrow I teach you the Calming Talisman, with your qualifications, you may learn quickly and remember quickly. But you will be like me, you have to learn hundreds or thousands of talismans before you understand why this talisman is drawn in this way, and what changes will happen if you draw it in a different way."

"But if you remember all the ways to draw talismans from the beginning, then I will teach you one, and you will find that there are hundreds of ways to draw talismans that are similar to it. You can draw inferences from one instance to another, and compare them one by one, and you will summarize many principles and rules."

"If you understand the principles before drawing talismans, the power of the talismans you draw will be different. And every time you draw a talisman, you are confirming what you have learned, instead of not understanding its meaning and reciting it by rote. You can definitely think of the difference with your intelligence."

"In short, it is obvious for you to read all these books and remember them before you start drawing talismans. The price you pay is just one month of hard work, not to mention that you will have to read these books sooner or later, it is worth it!"

Su Yi nodded slowly, agreeing with Chen You's words.

Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Learning the theory first and then practicing it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort.

If you don't understand the principle, just copying, no matter how many you draw, it is just reciting by rote.

One month...

The faces of Xiaobai and Dongshu flashed through Su Yi's mind quickly, and he finally nodded slowly and said, "Okay, from today on, I will stay in seclusion and read books!"

"Okay! I also want to know how far you can go on this road." Chen You said with great satisfaction and expectation.

There are hundreds of ways to draw talismans, some require pinching, some require thinking of gods, some require stepping on the steps, and some require chanting spells...

Whether it is laying paper and grinding ink, or writing with a pen, it is very sophisticated. Some talismans even require setting up altars to worship gods, or require some strange rituals or procedures.

The procedures are so complicated and the methods are so cumbersome that even Su Yi is overwhelmed.

The content of a talisman consists of five parts: the talisman head, the main god, the talisman belly, the talisman foot, and the talisman gallbladder, none of which can be missing.

And drawing a talisman is not just about drawing. How to draw, what to draw, where to draw, what talismans to pinch and what spells to chant at which step are all different.

Su Yi underestimated the difficulty and complexity of drawing talismans, so he had to work harder every day. From morning to night, except for taking half an hour to recite scriptures every morning and evening, he spent almost all his time on drawing talismans.

Of course, Xiaobai still came back to Su Yi's place to find Su Yi as usual every morning. After Su Yi told him, he stopped climbing the window and knocked on the door every morning.

He began to like staying at Su Yi's place. Sometimes he would stay here for a whole morning and sit in the living room to draw.

His mother Yang Feng came to see him several times, but she just rang the bell in the corridor outside and didn't dare to come in.

Chen You kept his promise and delivered two meals to Su Yi on time every day at noon and in the evening. Su Yi gave him food money, and he didn't be polite to Su Yi.

As for Kuliwei and Ajuan, they also came to Su Yi's house on time every afternoon.

Ajuan was no longer afraid of Su Yi.

When Su Yi treated her, she didn't need to faint her.

But except for her father and Su Yi, no one could get close to Ajuan, not even Xiaobai.

Ajuan still didn't speak, but once after Su Yi finished the treatment, she suddenly got up to sweep the floor for Su Yi.

Su Yi was very surprised, but didn't stop her.

After that, Ajuan would help Su Yi clean the room every time before leaving. Kuliwei said that this was Ajuan's way of thanking Su Yi.

Because Su Yi never went out again, he never saw Aunt Mei and Uncle Dong again.

Uncle Yan came once, mainly to thank Su Yi on behalf of Yang Feng, thanking him for taking care of Xiaobai.

The reason why Yang Feng still stayed in this building was because Uncle Yan took her in and helped them mother and son to the best of his ability.

Days passed by, and more than 20 days and nights passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Yi's understanding of talismans was increasing day by day, and his progress was far beyond Chen You's imagination. Although Su Yi had not yet drawn a talisman, in the stream of consciousness space, Su Yi had practiced and verified every talisman he had learned.

With the help of Su Yi, Chen You finally cultivated his first internal force. After successfully pulling the internal force to run for a cycle, Chen You was so happy that he jumped and shouted, laughed and cried, and was crazy like a child in his fifties.

But Su Yi told him that this was just the beginning. He still had a long way to go before he could fly over the eaves and walk on the walls.

In fact, Su Yi had a complicated mentality when he was in seclusion for a month.

He hoped that Ajiu would do something quickly so that he could complete the task.

But he felt sympathy for the innocent people who died tragically.

If Su Yi had taken action, they could have survived.

Uncle Dong was fine, after all, Su Yi deliberately distanced himself from him, and he was old and weak, and his life span was coming to an end.

But Xiaobai...

In fact, since the first time Xiaobai climbed in that morning, Su Yi had decided to protect this poor child.

Xiaobai was indeed very well-behaved, and because his mother had always taken him to eat at other people's houses and stayed out all day and night, he had yin and yang eyes since he was a child and could see those unclean things.

Su Yi asked Chen You about the Yin-Yang Eyes, and Chen You said with regret that the child would die sooner or later.

The reason why he has been fine now is that he never runs out of the scope of this building.

And the "they" in this building are all familiar with Xiaobai and will not do anything to him.

Even the twin female ghosts in 2422 are at peace with Xiaobai.

Xiaobai once drew the appearance of the twin female ghosts.

One was hanging on the ceiling fan, and the other was lying next to the dining table.

He drew the scene when the two female ghosts died tragically.

The entire painting was dyed in a dark red tone by him, which was exactly the same as the illusion Su Yi had seen before.

"Aren't you afraid of them?" Su Yi couldn't help but ask.

Xiaobai shook his head and said to Su Yi: "They won't hit me."

"Who hit you?" Su Yi asked.

"People, a lot of people." Xiaobai replied.

Su Yi touched his head and said, "Don't go to Aunt Mei's house in the future. If you encounter her, stay away."

Xiaobai was silent for a moment and said: "Aunt Mei is very good. She is the fourth best person besides mother, you and Uncle Yan."

Su Yi couldn't help but laugh.

“Is there a fifth best person?”

Xiaobai shook his head.

"Uncle Friend bought you food two days ago, but you actually think he's not a good person?" Su Yi said with a smile.

"He's not good." Xiaobai shook his head insistently.

Children also have their own sense of right and wrong. Su Yi doesn't know why Xiaobai thinks Chen You is not good.

Maybe it's because Chen You has lived here for so long, but because of Su Yi's relationship, he bought food for Xiaobai?

It sounds cruel that there are only four good people in a child's world.

"Aunt Mei will not be considered a good person from now on." Su Yi said to him, "Remember my words, stay away from her, let alone go to her house."

Xiaobai raised his head, looked into Su Yi's eyes through the gap in his bangs, and nodded seriously.

Ajuan's condition is getting better and better.

She began to talk to Su Yi. Although she spoke very little and still refused to contact others, she had never had another illness since she came to Su Yi for treatment.

One day Ku Liwei brought a lot of things, despite Su Yi's refusal.

"Ah Hao, I know you don't care about this, but I really don't know how to express my gratitude to you. Please accept it so that I can feel better." Ku Liwei's eyes were red, "I bought these things I earned all the money by doing odd jobs recently. Now I can leave Ajuan for a whole morning, and Ajuan won't get sick anymore. Moreover, she eats well and sleeps well. In the past month, she has gained seven pounds. Woolen cloth……"

"This is all because of you, Ah Hao. If you don't know how to be grateful as a human being, what is the difference between you and a pig or a dog? Ah Hao, if you don't mind me being shabby, please accept it!"

Su Yi shook his head and said: "Okay, I'll accept it, but don't do it next time. These things cost hundreds of dollars, which is nothing to me, but to you, you have to work hard for several days to make them!" "

"Ajuan's condition is getting better and better, and you should start planning for your future. There will be many places where you will need money in the future."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Hao." Ku Liwei grinned happily.

"Do you lock Ajuan at home every morning?" Su Yi asked.

"No, I always leave Ajuan with Aunt Mei." Ku Liwei said hurriedly.
