Demonic invasion of Lilan 2

"Yu Shixiong I will help you." Luo Cheng said after a while. A grateful smile appeared on Yu Lingyu's face. So that was his Luo Shidi. He knew that anyone else did not want to help him. "I'll help too." This time it was San Jie who appeared to giving surprise to Yu Lingyu. "But Yu Shixiong, I don't know much about it. Please guide me," he said again.

"No problem, no problem. If no one else wants to come, we'll leave now." Yu Lingyu said as he waved his hands. Shen Ming was the first to leave the hall, followed by the others as his companions. Meanwhile, another person who had traveled a short distance turned around and walked towards Yu Lingyu. "Yu Shixiong please teach me too." She said with a scared face. "Good decision, Duan Shimei." San Jie said.

"Better to be here than with that proud peacock." Duan Xia's face turned red.

"Don't scold someone where they weren't, San Shidi." Yu Lingyu said softly. San Jie's face shrunk. Yu Lingyu was such a law-abiding person. But did he know what others were saying about him?

"So where do we draw talismans from?" Luo Cheng asked, folding his arms across his chest. Yu Lingyu scratched the back of his head as if embarrassed. "Hmm. Why don't you guys come over to my cabin? But it's a bit…" he trailed off.

"It's a little messy."

 ****

"Is this what you call a little messy?" San Jie asked, looking for a place to put his feet. Pieces of leaves, clothes, brushes, and various other things were scattered all over the small room.

Blushing with embarrassment, Yu Lingyu quickly began to clean the floor. His cleaning is to shove everything under the couch.

A smiling Luo Cheng also helped Lingyu put aside the pile of scattered items. "Oh come in." Yu Lingyu said as he finally saw that there was a considerable amount of cleanliness. Sun Jie came in whimpering, but there was no joy on his face.

 Duan Xia stepped in with a blushed face. In this selection, only two female students were selected for Jun Peak, and Duan Xia was the one who had the most normal figure. She was not very tall and always appeared with a shy face.

"Duan Shimei, please don't be embarrassed." Seeing the look on Xia's face, Yu Lingyu said shyly. Certainly, it was reasonable to feel that way when alone with three men. Walking into the cabin, Yu Lingyu removed the curtain next to his bed. Behind it was a portal, and when it was opened, a creak sounded.

The small room inside was barely enough for five people to sit close to each other, and the shelves on its four walls were full of various paint bottles and sheets of paper used for drawing talismans.

"Oh, Yu Shixiong are you providing talismans for the entire sect?" San Jie asked in a nonchalant tone. "Ah, this is all I can do, so most of the time I distribute talismans to everyone in Jun Peak," Lingyu replied without any hesitation.

San Jie stared at him with tightly pursed lips.

"Please have a seat." He placed the two small benches on either side of the table to one side of the table and Another pair of benches were brought from his cabin. After that, he took some papers, brushes, and paints needed for drawing talismans and placed them on the table, closing the entrance to the chamber.

"Do you guys know anything about a talisman?" Yu Lingyu asked as he finally took the other seat next to Duan Xia. "I know about protection talismans. Yu Shixiong you can hand it over to me." Luo Cheng said excitedly. He was sitting next to San Jie, facing Yu Lingyu, and had already started to select the papers.

 "I also know a little about bright talismans." Duan Xia said, raising her fist timidly. "Oh, then I'll hand over the protection spells to Luo Shidi. Duan Shimei, please create some bright talismans." After saying that, Yu Lingyu looked directly at San Jie.

"Don't look at me like that. I said I don't know anything." San Jie frowned and said. A smile tugged at the corner of Lingyu's mouth. "That's not a problem. I'm thinking about the best talisman to teach San Shidi," he said softly.

 "Why don't you teach him about silent talismans Yu Shixiong, I'm sure they will come in handy." Luo Cheng, who had already started drawing talismans casually, said sarcastically. San Jie laughed at that. "Luo Xiong you are right. I can use it to shut up that arrogant peacock."

"I will teach you demon-binding talismans." Yu Lingyu finally said. "Oh, no problem, but silent talismans are better." San Jie also said. Lingyu opened a drawer on one of the shelves and picked up a large book.

 With it next to Sun Jie, he flipped through a few pages and finally stopped at the Devil Binding Talisman. It had everything from the basic steps required to draw the talisman to its function. "How many talismans are in this book?" Sun Jie asked curiously.

"One thousand and twenty-eight in all." Yu Lingyu replied as he returned to his seat.

"How much do you know, Yu Shixiong?"

"One thousand and twenty-eight." Yu Lingyu replied again.

"What! you memorized the whole book?" Rising slightly from his seat, San Jie said with his mouth open in surprise. Most of the talismans had the same pattern and were only differentiated by small brushstrokes. How can someone store all of them in memory?

Yu Lingyu only gave a smile as a reply. "Oh Duan Shimei, you are so talented." Yu Lingyu said after a few moments, pausing his work and looking at Duan Xia's talismans. She blushed shyly.

"Thank you, Yu Shixiong."

"Yu Shixiong, please check if this is correct." San Jie asked, handing the talisman he drew to Yu Lingyu. "Tighten the brushstrokes. Other than that, everything is fine."

San Jie felt a little proud. He initially chose to get along with Yu Lingyu only because of Lingyu's good relationship with Da Shixiong Wei Yunhe. maybe not? But as much as he spent time with Lingyu, Sun Jie was getting the feeling that he was not as eccentric as the rumors made him out to be.

Yu Lingyu also drew a considerable variety of talismans, and his brushstrokes were skillful and neat. By the time Wei Yunhe had given them, they had finished their work and were completely responsible for a bowl of peanuts.

 "Are you sure you don't need lunch?" Lingyu had asked earlier and the others had denied it, so they continued their actions. "Do you have a weapon?" Yu Lingyu finally asked, standing up. Collecting all the talismans, he stuffed them into his Treasure Pouch. the Treasure Pouch was a small bag that could be worn on the waist and had a lot of space inside. An entire city could be contained in a very expensive purse.

"No." Luo Cheng and Duan Xia said at once.

"Let's go to the Sword Pavilion now. Go and choose a weapon," Yu Lingyu said. Everyone came out in order and Yu Lingyu closed the portal of the ink room. San Jie's face was covered in black ink. Fortunately, the Apprentice's Chambers were not far from Yu Lingyu's Chambers.

 "Go wash up first. I'll wait downstairs." Yu Lingyu said looking at his little Shidies and Shimei. Rushing through the chamber, Yu Lingyu opened the portal without thinking too much, and someone bumped into his body and both of them fell to the wooden ground.

"Eh?"

Wu Xuan's playful face remained in front of Yu Lingyu. He was completely on top of Lingyu's body and Lingyu, who didn't think any further, stood up, quickly pushing Wu Xuan aside. "What is Wu Shixiong doing here?"

"Ah." Wu Xuan hit his head on the ground from being pushed and sat on the ground. "Didn't your Da Shixiong tell you?" he asked, lips parting. Dressed in dark blue and black mixed clothing, the official colors of Juyao Peak, Wu Xuan carried a long sword in his right hand.

"Shouldn't you apologize first, Wu Shixiong?" Lingyu was startled by San Jie's sudden verbal attack. Wu Xuan stood up and smiled at Sun Jie, who was bathed in paint from head to toe.

 "is that so?" he asked and that word alone helped San Jie's voice stop. "As if Wei Shidi hasn't been told, Yu Shidi you must give me some demon attraction talismans." Wu Xuan said.

 "I only drew a few of them." One of the most intricately patterned talismans of all the talismans was the Devil Attraction Talisman. At the same time, ordinary ink was not enough for it, and the blood of living people had to be mixed with it.

"So give me those few, what? you don't want to?" Wu Xuan asked, leaning against the door. Crossing his arms across his chest, he snapped his teeth at Yu Lingyu. "It's not that I don't want to. However, we have an urgent matter—" Yu Lingyu had to stop his speech as Wu Xuan interrupted.

"Did Wei Yunhe tell you anything, huh? Juyao Peak is also joining you. So give me a few talismans, Yu Shidi, and we should work together, shouldn't we?" His voice was more of a threat than a request.

 Yu Lingyu was unable to resist it. Frightfully, he reached into his wallet and pulled out several talismans. Before Lingyu could offer it, Wu Xuan snatched them up let out a tsk sound, and left without bothering to say thanks.

"That old pig, a birdhead who can't even draw a talisman." San Jie finally said as he watched Wu Xuan leave. "We have to work together Yu Shidi, don't we?" San Jie scolded back, mimicking Wu Xuan's voice mockingly.

 Yu Lingyu smiled awkwardly.

 "Ah San Shidi, do not disrespect when they weren't."

 He whispered, but San Jie didn't seem to hear it. He stomped out angrily and went out of the room, cursing further in his heart.

After a while, Duan Xia and Luo Cheng also left, so Yu Lingyu was alone again. "The clownish poet?" He muttered as he stared at his masked face in the mirror.

 Even to this day, a rumor about a scar created by Yunhe was believed by even his shizun. Slowly removing the mask, he allowed his entire face to be reflected in the mirror. The red demonic mark in the center of his forehead is still the same.

 "What should I do to erase it?"

 Yu Lingyu asked himself as he gently touched it. He kept asking him this question for eight years. But he could never find an answer.
