Chapter 78: Dao Talisman
Saying goodbye to Wu Quxing, Sun Wukong met Wenquxing in the printing workshop again.
Wenquxing is burning books.
He burned for a long time, but the book was not damaged, so he put out the fire and threw the book into the water tank.
"Wenquxing."
Sun Wukong walked over to greet him.
Wenquxing didn't surprise him when he came to the printing workshop, after all, this is what he should do.
After chatting for a few words, Wen Quxing took out the book from the water tank and threw off the water droplets on it, the pages were not wet at all.
He was quite surprised.
"Fire-proof, water-proof, anti-corrosion...can also contain scratches..."
Wenquxing drew a few strokes on the pages, but it had no effect.
"How long can the Taoist effect in this book be retained?"
"Twenty years, or dozens of injuries."
The Rakshasa girl stepped forward and replied: "Prepare and not damaged, the spiritual energy in the book will not dissipate after twenty years."
"After dispersing, is this a common book?"
Sun Wukong looked at it curiously and asked, "This book is not used in Huaguoshan, is it used for trade?"
Rakshasa nodded.
The quality of books used in Huaguoshan is far greater than that of books obtained by Wenquxing.
"The Taoist talismans in these books were carved by the little demons."
Rakshasa said to Sun Wu.
Sun Wukong understood.
In recent years, the monsters in Huaguo Mountain have increased their demand for books. In addition to the Taoist talismans of the little monsters, better Taoist talismans have no price attraction to humans.
Wen Quxing flipped through the book: "Is there a Taoist talisman engraved on every page?"
Rakshasa nodded.
The book carved some small Taoist talismans, which can be used to protect a book after being superimposed.
The printing method of Huaguoshan is still the same as that of humans. There is no fundamental change, but the process has been simplified and the technology has become faster.
But every piece of paper made in Huaguoshan is a Taoist talisman.
A few years ago, monsters invented transparent Taoist talisman potion and gradually used it in all walks of life - papermaking is one of them.
The monsters paint transparent Taoist talismans on the paper, print them with words, and finally bind them into a book, and then activate the Taoist talisman. A book will have the effect of Taoism.
In addition to the Taoist talismans made by the little demons, Huaguo Mountain also has Taoist talismans made by the demon kings. Books bound by these Taoist talismans often have extraordinary effects.
"King."
Rakshasa brought a literacy textbook and handed it to Sun Wukong, saying, "Humans can also use this textbook."
Sun Wukong opened the textbook and looked at the text that appeared on it.
“How long can it last?”
"Forty years," said Rakshasa: "It can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, but the runes are difficult and the output is still not enough."
Wenquxing noticed this literacy textbook very early.
"Monkey King, it will definitely be a great merit for you to let the demon kings participate in making this book."
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes: "Did they do nothing?"
"It doesn't matter."
He continued: "Continue to study, the difficulty will be reduced."
Wenquxing couldn't help but be curious: "You use this method to print books to reduce the difficulty?"
"That's certain."
Sun Wukong nodded.
There are many ways to give a book power, and the most direct way is to give magic - those books bought from various countries of humanity are used in this way.
But in terms of printing new books, Sun Wukong adopted another method: combining Taoist talismans with book pages.
This method looks simple, but the technical difficulty is very high, and requires a comprehensive improvement in Taoist talisman technology.
But this is very beneficial. Originally, the demon king had to cast spells to give a book the power, but now it can be done with just a group of small monsters.
What Huaguoshan needs to do is to simplify and popularize the Taoist techniques that are superior.
After watching the printing workshop, Sun Wukong went to the Taoist talisman workshop next door.
Wenquxing also followed.
The Daofu Workshop was built more than ten years ago to meet the demand for Daofu in Huaguo Mountain. It specializes in making various Daofu Workshops. It has now developed very much.
In different areas of the workshop, the monsters sat shoulder to shoulder, drawing different Taoist talismans.
Wenquxing came here for the first time. In addition to the serious craftsmen, he also saw many little fairies drawing talismans together.
"These little monsters are working too?"
He asked in surprise.
“This is practice.”
Sun Wukong answered.
Huaguoshan attaches great importance to Taoist talismans. Taoist talismans are the focus of the witches' cultivation, and the little demons are also paintings, so Sun Wukong asked them to come to the workshop to study.
His original idea was to let the little demons learn more solid techniques from the workshop, but unexpectedly, the monsters seemed to have used the little demon's Taoist talismans.
Thinking of the book just now, Sun Wukong couldn't help asking, "You guys forced the little demons to draw talismans?"
"No."
Rakshasa quickly replied: "We asked them for their opinions."
Sun Wukong glanced at the workshop and did not see any embarrassment on the faces of the little demons.
But even so, he was still a little uneasy - the development of Huaguoshan should not become the development of capitalists.
"We need to let Ao Luan pay attention to these aspects..."
A thought flashed through Sun Wukong's heart.
“Huh?”
Wenquxing suddenly noticed that there were still humans in the workshop.
"What are those monks doing?"
"Drawing the talisman."
Rakshasa said.
Wen Quxing frowned: "Why do monks also draw talismans?"
"Elder Guanghui called." Rakshasa replied: "He said that he would use this method to help them calm down and cultivate their nature."
Sun Wukong also looked at the monks who lowered their heads and drew talismans.
He seemed to see a familiar bald head.
Sun Wukong walked over and saw that he did not admit his mistake.
"Elder Golden Cicada."
He asked, "Why are you here?"
Jin Chanzi, who was concentrating on drawing talismans, raised his head and saw Sun Wukong.
"Amitabha."
Jin Chanzi clasped her hands together: "Donor Ao Luan promised me that I would draw 100,000 Taoist talismans, and she would print 10,000 Buddhist scriptures and give them to Aolai Kingdom."
Sun Wukong was silent.
No wonder Elder Jinchan didn't see him for a while. It turned out that he was drawing talismans here.
But 100,000, is Ao Luan too much?
"Elder, you want ten thousand Buddhist scriptures, I promise you."
Sun Wukong said, "Don't draw any more."
Elder Jinchan shook his head.
"No, I will use my hands to print ten thousand Buddhist scriptures for the world."
He regarded this as a merit, said a few words, and then continued to lower his head and draw.
Seeing the talisman he drew, Sun Wukong asked Rakshasa: "What book does Ao Luan make with the elder's Taoist talisman?"
Chapter completed!
