Ning Que looked at the half cup of cold tea in front of him and concentrated on thinking about the master's words at this time.
Master Yan Se smiled slightly and raised his skinny arm. He simply drew something in the air in front of him with his index finger.
The air in the pavilion suddenly became dry. A weak flame magically appeared in front of Ning Que and then disappeared with a poof. He was so scared that he almost jumped up from the ground.
Master Yan Se smiled and said, "Your friend said that the Snow Mountain and Ocean of Qi are strings. The lines of talisman can also be regarded as strings. You can play a song that Heaven and Earth can understand. But I still think it is more accurate to describe it as an article. Talisman can not only let Heaven and Earth understand the beauty of the melody, but also can express ideas more clearly and find more subtle differences besides movement and stillness. "
After saying this, Master Yan Se raised his right hand again and drew six lines in the air with his index finger.
Ning Que only felt a wave of wetness rising from the air drawn by the Master's finger, and then coming to his face. With a light "pa" sound, he subconsciously reached out to touch it, and found that his face was wet, as if he had just washed it.
"Different Psyche Power and different lines can be used to write a completely different article and cause completely different effects." Master Yan Se looked at Ning Que who kept touching his face like an infatuated fool and said with a smile, "I teach you Talisman Taoism to teach you how to write an article."
"How to write an article? After learning the classics of predecessors and perceiving the law of the Qi of Heaven and Earth, how to write the last stroke on the paper and let the Qi of Heaven and Earth know your mind? There is no other trick in the last step, or it can only be a trick. What does the word "trick" mean? It refers to talent. If you can write it, you can write it. If you can't, even if you don't sleep day and night and immerse yourself in the ink pool of the river, you still can't write it. "
Master Yan Se looked at Ning Que and said, "The last stroke of Talisman Taoism depends on talent. Talent is the most precious gift that Haotian gives us. Only a few people can have this kind of luck, and you have this kind of luck."
"This … seems to be too difficult."
Ning Que's emotions were somewhat at a loss. He had seen a miracle, but he did not know how the miracle had happened. The master had talked and talked, but in the end, he still walked back to the old path of metaphysics. He did not hear any operational guidance. Talent was something that could not be explained clearly, not to mention using this kind of unclear and unclear thing to achieve the most crucial stroke.
"If Talisman Taoism ultimately depends on talent, then the first cultivator who discovered Talisman Taoism in the world saw the traces of talisman lines between heaven and earth, subconsciously copied them and wrote the first talisman. According to you, Talisman Taoism can't be inherited, then how could he …"
He deliberated over his words and continued, "Pass on this civilization?"
Master Yan Se pondered for a moment and said, "Although Talisman Taoism can't be inherited, the spirit of Talisman Taoism can be inherited. Words can record thoughts, and the past can be recorded. How did the earliest Talisman Master discover and write the first talisman? It must be a kind of coincidence. "
"Perhaps tens of thousands of years ago, the Grand Cultivator walked to some kind of cliff, looked at the crack of the mountain rock, and suddenly felt something. He concentrated his spirit in the sword at his waist, and casually waved it to condense the primordial Qi of the cliff into it."
"The first talisman must be a coincidence and a spontaneous existence. When the Grand Cultivator found the secret contained in those sword marks, he would definitely try again. If he succeeded again, the second talisman would no longer be a coincidence, but a conscious existence."
Ning Que asked, "But it is also possible that the cultivator did not write the second talisman in his life."
Master Yan Se looked at him and said, "If the first cultivator did not succeed, there would be a second cultivator, a third, and a fourth cultivator. The beginning of heaven and earth is endless, and cultivators are endless. They keep exploring the secrets of the world, so there must be a successful and conscious predecessor, which is undoubtedly inevitable."
Ning Que nodded and accepted the advice.
Master Yan Se said, "The same principle is that Talisman Taoism can't be inherited, but the spirit of Talisman Taoism can be inherited. Before the cultivator died, he would definitely tell his disciple, and his disciple would try again. He might succeed, or he might fail, and it was even possible that the lineage would be cut off. But I believe that after countless years, there will be another Grand Cultivator who finds the secret of Talisman Taoism and passes it on to his disciple. That disciple will try again. If he succeeds, the lineage will be inherited again, until finally there is a lineage that succeeds, and the lineage has been inherited until today. "
Ning Que raised his head and said with emotion, "It's really a big wave washing away the sand. I don't know how many Grand Cultivators' skills have not been inherited."
"It's not a big wave washing away the sand, but more like climbing a mountain that can never be climbed to the top. Some people are forced to stop at the foot of the mountain, and some people climb to the mountainside, but are blown off the cliff by the mountain wind. Today, the inheritance of Talisman Taoism has reached the peak now. But if you look into the future, you will know that this mountain is infinitely high. "
Master Yan Se looked at him and sighed, "It's too difficult for Talisman Taoism to appear. The word" difficult "can't describe the inheritance of Talisman Taoism until today. It's like a tragic and stirring scene of a man guarding the pass. That's why I'm so excited when I find that you have potential. Since you are lucky to have this potential, you must cherish it, not only for yourself, but also for Talisman Taoism itself."
Ning Que heard the endless sorrow of vicissitudes, and his body became slightly stiff, as if he saw those pictures in countless years.
…
…
In ancient times, a tribal wizard in animal skin came to a cliff cave to rest after presiding over a sacrificial ceremony. The tribal wizard sang an obscure song and picked up a red stone to draw a picture on the wall of the cave.
The wizard wanted to describe that the fire was very good, very beautiful, and very red today. But he didn't expect that the painting was only half finished, and then it burned on the wall of the cave!
The wizard screamed and fell to the ground in embarrassment. He kept kowtowing to the burning picture, and the animal skin on his buttocks kept trembling because of fear. The people in the tribe heard the wizard's scream and rushed into the cliff cave. Then they also saw the burning picture, and knelt on the ground in fear, crying and shouting, thinking that it was some kind of evil worship.
The wizard was the wisest person in the tribe. After he calmed down, he drove everyone out of the cliff cave. The burning picture gradually went out, and he looked at the remaining black marks on the wall of the cave. After hesitating for a long time, he nervously stretched out his fingers to touch it. Gradually his eyes brightened, and he turned around to find the red stone in the cave and tried to draw the picture again with trembling hands.
After that day, the wizard could no longer draw the burning picture, but he had become the greatest wizard around the plateau.
…
…
Countless people died in the war between the Central Plains and the Wilderness. Blood soaked the black Wilderness, soaking the grass and mud into something like chili. A practitioner from Min Mountain silently squatted in the Wilderness, looking at the body of his brother in front of him. He held a branch in his hand, and drew on the blood and mud unconsciously.
Not far behind him, the black and red Wilderness seemed to come alive. It kept arching up and then scattered. Countless earthworms and insects panicked and scattered, as if there was a big mutated earthworm underneath.
…
…
A disciple held the original Fu character left by his teacher, and kept copying on the yellow paper. He copied it from a teenager to an old man, until his hair turned white. The yellow paper behind him filled the whole room, and cobwebs formed on the beams. He kept copying.
Someone sat on the high peak of Zhongli Mountain, holding a drawing board in his arms, and various colors of paint beside him. He looked at the clouds in the mountain, and painted from dawn to dusk, and then welcomed the sunrise. Winter passed, spring came, and summer came. He kept on drawing.
From ancient times to the present, those who were extremely lucky or accidentally entered Talisman Taoism, and those disciples who wanted to master Talisman Taoism, kept on copying the traces between heaven and earth, and kept on thinking about the article in their hearts. They finished the paper in their rooms, used up their brushes, painted the rivers and mountains, and dyed the pools black.
Maybe they succeeded, maybe they failed, but they had been working hard and trying. It was because of this kind of hard work and trying that the mysterious gift that Haotian had given to mankind was not completely taken back. It had been passed down to this day after danger.
…
…
"Every Talisman Master has the obligation to pass down what he has learned in his lifetime. Perhaps it can be said that this is a responsibility that we cannot refuse. Because those predecessors did exactly this. They exhausted all their strength and spirit to let the Talisman Dao still exist in our world."
Master Yan Se looked at Ning Que, who lowered his head, and said with a dignified expression, "I am satisfied to have a successor like you. However, it is sad that the inheritance of Talisman Taoism, as I said before, can only pass on the spirit, but can not pass on the technique. So whether the spirit of Talisman Taoism will not be cut off by me, depends on you."
Ning Que bowed to him and said, "I will try my best not to let you down."
"Disappointed? What is disappointed? If I only hope that you can pass on Talisman Taoism, then I believe you will not let me down, because I have a pair of Divine Talisman Master's eyes. I know it is not difficult for you. "
"But my hope for you is not limited to this. I always think that there is a kind of power that limits the inheritance of Talisman Taoism. You know, including me, no Divine Talisman Master in the world can really see through Talisman Taoism. Since we can't see through it, naturally we can't pass on the core and also the simplest truth of Talisman Taoism. "
"I am too old to cross that threshold. If you have the opportunity to cross that threshold in the future, then I believe that the inheritance of Talisman Taoism will become an easy thing. At that time, with Talisman Taoism, you can create mountains and rivers by waving your hands … It sounds like a miracle, but I firmly believe that one day people can do it, and it should be something that Talisman Taoism must do. "
Master Yan Se looked at him and said quietly, "Ning Que, I hope you can become such a person."
The greater the disappointment, the greater the hope. If Ning Que didn't want to let Master Yan Se down, he had to carry this heavy hope. He looked at the opposite side and felt that there were two mountains on his shoulders.
"Can I become such a person?"
"You have to become such a person."
Ning Que looked at the old and sad face of Master Yan Se and suddenly said, "Master, please tell me the most basic thing."
Master Yan Se stared at Ning Que's eyes for a long time. The emotion on his wrinkled face disappeared, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. He comforted Ning Que and said softly, "The journey of thousands of miles starts with your feet. I wish you a pleasant journey."
…
…
"How can I draw a talisman?"
"First of all, you have to feel the Qi of Heaven and Earth, the more delicate the better. Then, according to what you see, you can draw the traces of the Qi of Heaven and Earth."
"How can I draw if I can't see it?"
"Cultivators never see the world with their eyes."
"That's the feeling?"
"Yes, draw according to your feeling."
"Can I draw randomly?"
"Then you should poke your eyes to blind first."
Master Yan Se stared at him angrily, took out a few books from behind and threw them to him.
Ning Que was almost smashed to death.
Because what he caught was not just a few books, but dozens of books. Each book was very thick, and together they seemed to be heavier than Chen Pipi. He didn't know when the old Taoist secretly moved them from the carriage.
Ning Que picked up a book and opened it. Looking at the meandering lines on the front page, he found that they were not words, and they were so ugly that they could not even be called abstract paintings. He asked blankly, "Are these … Talismans?"
"Yes, these are the talismans I have collected in my life, most of which are Taoist talismans."
Master Yan Se poured a cup of tea for himself to moisten his throat, and then he raised his head and continued, "These are the crystallization of the wisdom of the predecessors. When you study the traces of Heaven and Earth, don't forget to refer to these talismans."
"As I said before, these are the articles written by the Talisman Masters of the previous generation with their characters. Even if you are good at plagiarizing and can write all the models from memory, the marking teacher still can't understand them."
Ning Que regretfully said, "I know, the marking teacher's surname is Tian and his given name is Di, and he is illiterate."
Then he asked confusedly, "Since I can't plagiarize, what's the use of learning these Talismans of the previous generation?"
"Just like perceiving the nature talismans of Heaven and Earth, these talismans are just for reference. You can't be bound by these traces, but should forget these traces through observation, comprehend their spirit, and finally find your own suitable traces."
Forget the traces and comprehend the spirit? Isn't this the same as forgetting the form and comprehending the meaning? Ning Que suddenly thought of the process of reading books in the old library this year, and could not help but be shocked speechless. It turned out that the Eight Strokes Calligraphy of Yong that he made should be used at this moment!
Master Yan Se saw his shocked expression, frowned and asked. After a moment of silence, Ning Que honestly reported his past of reading books in the old library of the Academy to the master, and also mentioned the origin of the Chicken Soup Calligraphy.
"That day, I found that I could barely understand some of the characters left by the Talisman Masters by using the Eight Strokes Calligraphy of Yong. Because of joy, I went to the House of Red Sleeves to drink to celebrate. As a result, I drank too much and wrote the Chicken Soup Calligraphy. Probably because I was too drunk to think, I wrote all the strokes that I comprehended in the Eight Strokes Calligraphy of Yong into that calligraphy, and then it caught your attention. "
After saying this, Ning Que subconsciously turned his head to look at the sky outside the pavilion, wondering if there was really God's will in the unseen world.
Master Yan Se smiled and said, "It's not that Haotian chose you, but that you have the ability and talent to win this choice."
…
…
"Master, just now when you drew casually, a handful of clear water hit my face. I know it's a talisman, but can fingers draw talismans in the air? If every Talisman Master's talisman is unique, then every talisman should be absolutely the same. Perhaps it can be controlled by pen and ink, but how can it be controlled by a casual drawing? "
"Even pen and ink can't guarantee that every talisman is exactly the same, because you use different paper, and the speed of ink is also different. Talismans move with the Talisman Master's mind, so the subtle difference is not too important. On the contrary, as long as this subtle difference is not against the will, it can often conform to the Talisman Master's Psyche Power at that time, and the effect is better. "
Master Yan Se continued, "As for drawing talismans with fingers in the air, compared with pen and ink, it is more unstable. But the Talisman Master who can draw talismans without objects has already completely mastered his own Psyche Power. In other words, the previous drawing is different from the latter, but the final effect is exactly the same."
Ning Que asked, "What kind of Talisman Master can completely master his own Psyche Power and thus draw talismans without objects?"
Master Yan Se pointed to his nose and said with a smile, "Divine Talisman Master."
Ning Que was deeply shocked and frustrated.
"I divide talismans into two kinds, definite and infinitive. Definite talismans rely on external objects, whether it is pen and ink engraving or sculpture. It takes a long time to draw talismans, but the final power is greater. Talismans without objects are infinitive, which can be completed in an instant, but the power is ordinary. "
Hearing the two words definite and infinitive, Ning Que's mind was refreshed, and he thought of the familiar verb features, such as soil, soil, soil and so on. Then he immediately came to his senses and remembered that he was learning Talisman Taoism in the pavilion instead of learning English in the special class. He rubbed his face angrily and asked, "In this case, why do you still need to learn infinitive … It seems very difficult."
Master Yan Se looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot and said, "Talisman Taoism is indeed powerful, and cultivators in the same state, even Psyche Masters can't defeat Talisman Masters. But this is just a theory on paper. What if I really fight with other cultivators? Liu Bai's flying sword breaks through the air, and I have to look for pen and ink everywhere in a hurry? "
"When I perceive the damn flying sword coming from the clouds, I only need to use my Psyche Power as ink, and then I can stop it by drawing talismans in the air. Then I can think of a way to draw talismans to fight back. At this time, what's the use of pen and ink?"
Listening to Master Yan Se's proud and complacent explanation, Ning Que felt that something was wrong. After a moment of hesitation, he asked curiously, "Master, have you ever fought with Liu Bai, the Sage of Sword, who is the strongest in the world?"
"Metaphorical! I mean metaphorical! "
Master Yan Se roared angrily, but he thought in his heart, "My arm was hurt by Liu Bai's sword, but I also erased half of his eyebrows. Would I tell you about this glorious record?"
"If you don't want to be shot by the enemy's arrow when you just go to the battlefield, infinitive is a must."
"But … you said before that only Divine Talisman Masters can master the talisman of nothing."
"You are extremely talented in Talisman Taoism, and you have met such a great Talisman Taoism master like me. How difficult it is to become a Divine Talisman Master? After going back, first memorize these pamphlets, and then carefully understand the Qi of Heaven and Earth … "
Ning Que stared at the pile of thick books beside him, thinking that these were pamphlets?
Master Yan Se frowned and regretfully said, "You are still in the No Doubts State, and you can only preliminarily understand the law of the flow of the Qi of Heaven and Earth. If you have already been in the Seethrough State, you can blend into the Qi of Heaven and Earth, or if you have simply entered the Knowing Destiny State and fundamentally mastered the law of the Qi of Heaven and Earth, plus your talent in Talisman Taoism, it will be much easier to cross the first level. "
Ning Que was speechless, thinking that if I can know destiny, why should I learn Talisman Taoism so troublesome?
"Master, in your opinion, according to my talent, how many years can I become a Divine Talisman Master like you?"
"If you concentrate on Talisman Taoism, you can leave the Academy and follow me to the mountain to practice hard. About … ten years."
Ning Que sighed regretfully and said, "Ten more years."
Master Yan Se angrily said, "Ten years later, you are not yet 30 years old. If you can really become a Divine Talisman Master at that time, you can at least be ranked in the top three in the history of cultivation for a thousand years. Don't you feel satisfied?"
Ning Que was scolded and lowered his head. Of course, he didn't feel ashamed, but a little proud. He thought that his talent in Talisman Taoism could be ranked in the top three in the history. After knowing this, would Chen Pipi feel ashamed?
Master Yan Se looked at Ning Que's head, and his expression gradually became clear. He thought silently, "Unfortunately, I am afraid that I can't teach you for ten years."
Ning Que suddenly thought of a very important thing. He looked up at Master Yan Se and said seriously, "Master, since I am determined to learn Talisman Taoism from you, should I change the way I call you teacher?"
After thinking for a moment, Master Yan Se shook his head and said, "Since you have entered the Second floor of the Academy, the Headmaster of the Academy is your teacher. Then there is no second person in the world who is qualified to be your teacher … You can call me master. It sounds good."
Ning Que heard Master Yan Se's respect for the Headmaster of the Academy. After a moment of silence, he said with a smile, "Then how about calling me teacher?"
Master Yan Se smiled slightly and thought that he was really a smart boy.
…
…
Ning Que was certainly smart.
He had proved himself in his previous life, and he was constantly proving himself in this life. However, calling Master Yan Se teacher had nothing to do with his inborn intelligence. It was the ability to observe people's words and flattery that had been tempered by years of difficult survival in the world.
According to Master Yan Se, there was no second person in the world who was qualified to be compared with the Headmaster of the Academy. The Headmaster of the Academy was now his teacher, and others were naturally embarrassed to be his teacher. But after listening to him for a long time in the pavilion, Ning Que deeply felt that Master Yan Se attached great importance to the inheritance of Talisman Taoism and himself. Of course, he wanted to have a formal title of teacher and student.
"After I started to call Master Yan Se master, tsk, tsk, the atmosphere in the pavilion was really good. The teacher and the student were harmonious, talking and laughing. Master even gave me a gift for our first meeting. Why didn't he give me one in the beginning?"
In the Old Brush Pen Shop on Lin 47th Street, Ning Que sat in a round chair and held a teapot, like a storyteller.
Sangsang was repairing the shop door that was damaged the day before yesterday with a hammer and ignored him.
Not getting a response, Ning Que was a little bored and lectured, "Can't you pay attention to what I say?"
Sangsang was measuring the size of the plank that she asked from the carpenter's shop during the day. She answered, "I am busy."
Ning Que said angrily, "I, your young master, will become a legendary Divine Talisman Master in ten years. Why are you not excited at all?"
Sangsang turned back and looked at him, saying, "Young master, that will happen in ten years. But we must repair the door today."
Ning Que put the teapot on the table and said, "Don't repair it. Go buy something for me first."
Sangsang asked confusedly, "What are you in a hurry to buy at this time? The door hasn't been repaired yet. "
"Brush, ink, cinnabar, and other messy materials."
Ning Que wrote a note and handed it to her, saying, "Ten years to become a Divine Talisman Master is really too slow."
"I want to start learning Talisman Taoism right now!"
"Seize every minute! Seize every minute! "
Sangsang opened her bright willow-shaped eyes and looked at him who was dancing with joy. She hesitated and called, "Young master …"
"Yes, what's up?"
"Are you confused because of happiness?"
"… Maybe a little."
(First of all, I strongly want the monthly vote. If I don't want it, it will be unjustifiable. Please vote your monthly vote. I promise you that Ning Que will become a Divine Talisman Master within two years … These words really deserve to be slapped. Slap me with the monthly vote.
Secondly, tomorrow is the birthday of my eldest daughter, Tangtang. My leader and I wish her a happy birthday. Don't be silly, be sensible, and be healthy and happy.
At the same time, tomorrow is the birthday of my daughter, Lanlan. My leader and I also wish her a happy birthday. Don't be silly, take more beautiful photos and less Photoshop, and be healthy and beautiful.
Thirdly, I have been holding back the fact that tomorrow is the birthday of the most beautiful woman in the world. That woman is my mother. I will call her tomorrow and tell her some mushy words. I won't say anything else.
I don't know what good day tomorrow will be … I think it over and over again. Tomorrow is Saturday, a good day to rest. I will go out and drink with my friends. I am so happy. I wish you all a good weekend.
Finally, I seriously recommend a new book, Vivid and Lively. The book number is 2191385. The author is Zhu Jiao Zhu. The quality of the book is guaranteed by books such as Xiaoxian is Poisonous and Moving Mountains. I feel very comfortable and at ease when I recommend it.
PS: This is the revised version of 201112170114. I have corrected some typos and some terrible omissions. Haha.) (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
