Chapter 345: (2): Six Talismans from the Noble Scholar, Petrifying Ghosts and Suppressing Swords
After pondering for a moment, Zhong Kui made up his mind and said in a solemn voice, "I'll draw a Five Lightning Talisman for you, the type that the heavenly masters from Mount Longhu are extremely skilled at. Lightning techniques are paragon among the myriad techniques, and Mount Longhu enjoys a position of orthodoxy among the various broad and shallow schools of lightning techniques.
"My teacher visited Mount Longhu several times during his travels, and he met the Great Heavenly Master one time and was fortunate enough to learn a Five Lightning Talisman—Five Dragons Holding Jewels. This talisman contains thunder and lightning, and its aura is so powerful that it soars through the sky..."
However, he quickly noticed the strange expression in Chen Ping'an's eyes.
"Hey, come on, can't you let me rest for a moment first?" Zhong Kui asked in a pitiful voice. "I'm completely beat after drawing three high-grade talismans in a single go. How was I supposed to know you'd take out another three pieces of high-grade talisman paper? I would have piped down a little if I had known this earlier."
Chen Ping'an smiled and sat down. "Take your time, have some wine, and relax. I won't pester you."
Zhong Kui breathed a sigh of relief. He drank a large mouthful of wine before grabbing the golden talisman paper on top and neatly placing it on the table.
There was rumbling thunder and flashing lightning on the tip of the Wind and Snow Awl as it hovered a foot above the talisman paper, and the arcs of purple and white lightning radiated with a vast heavenly might as they lit up a small area in the air.
The water goddess was extremely startled by this.
After drawing the Five Dragons Holding Jewels Talisman that contained astonishing might, Zhong Kui continued by drawing a guidance talisman as per Chen Ping'an's request.
