Under the porridge stall selling breakfast, Shang Ye was biting into steamed buns and eating pickled vegetables.

To be fair, it would be nice to have a beautiful woman who is pleasing to the eye along the way, but at the moment he is focused on that "opportunity" and does not want to be stared at all the time.

When traveling to and from Nanwang City, I have to find a way to escape... he thought.

On the roadside not far away, Li Yu, who was wearing a curtain hat, was discussing something with an old man.

After Shang Ye finished his breakfast, he wanted to pay the bill, but the stall owner waved his hand and said that the rice porridge and steamed buns were not worth much and he was not willing to take the money anyway.

He really couldn't resist the aunt who sold breakfast, so he had no choice but to leave. When he came to Li Yu, he was told that the old man was a merchant from the north and was about to return now, so he could give them a ride half way.

So, they got on someone else's carriage, which was in ordinary condition. The two of them sat on the cargo box. The man pulling the cargo was very enthusiastic, saying "Master Tianshi" in his mouth, not only saying hello, but also taking out the best wine.

The silk cloth was used as cushions for them.

After swaying for a while, the two of them hit the road and left the city.

When passing the city gate, the guard was conducting a routine inspection. He opened the truck's cover and saw two heavenly masters sitting upright. He immediately took a step back, clasped his fists in salute, and then let them go.

From these daily trivial matters, Shang Ye could more intuitively feel how respected the Celestial Master was in the world.

The carriage hadn't gone far, and Shang Ye felt awkward. He was thinking about getting close to him. Li Haoyan's silly boy was a good conversation starter, but before he could speak, Li Yu touched the green bracelet on his wrist.

A book was taken out from the jewelry that seemed to be used to store magic weapons.

After that, she gently opened it, took off the curtain, and began to teach Shang Ye...

Shang Ye looked at the system words "Cultivating Fu Dao...". Although he felt a little strange, he still sat upright and concentrated. After all, listening to the lectures can accumulate Fu Dao behavior points.

What Li Yu was talking about was the advanced content of Talismans. Shang Ye had studied "Taiyi Heaven and Earth Talisman Records" in his previous life. Although it was different in form from "Xuanxin Subduing Demon Talisman Records", they had some similarities, and he could be considered as one.

Can understand.

After a long time, Li Yu took out the talisman paper and pen and ink and asked Shang Ye to draw an evil talisman on the spot.

He was a little dumbfounded at this point. The car was shaking and bumping up and down. He had just started to get started in the Tao of Talisman. His accumulated Taoist values ​​were almost negligible and he had no proficiency at all. He would definitely not be able to pass the system's judgment.

Li Yu also saw Shang Ye's scruples, but let him write with confidence.

So, he failed.

Li Yu took the talisman that he failed to draw, looked at it carefully, and then suddenly asked: "Can you imitate Zhang Xiaobao?"

Shang Ye nodded, not surprised that she could see that systematic practice in many cases was just copying, so it was not surprising that his handwriting looked like a chubby one.

"Zhang Xiaobao is a real genius, but you are just a fake genius." Li Yu said to him, waving the talisman in her hand.

Shang Ye frowned when he heard this, not angry, but a little surprised...

"After passing the imperial examination in three days, I think you have the ability to memorize even if you can't have a photographic memory. But in the Tao of Talisman, although memory is the key, writing power is even more important. Only those who have been immersed in pen and ink calligraphy all year round can do it.

Master a talisman overnight, and you..."

Li Yu stared at Shang Ye with a pair of peach blossom eyes, but hesitated to speak.

The young man remained calm and silent. He also knew that the word "genius" was not something that could be explained. It was okay to fool a child, but when he met a smart person, he could not withstand scrutiny.

But at this moment, he could only bite the bullet and act serious.

"Well, maybe you also have some talent on the tip of your pen..." Li Yu raised her eyebrows, but the doubts in her eyes did not dissipate. She continued: "Do you know why Zhang Xiaobao is a genius?"

"Why?"

Li Yu did not answer directly, but raised her right hand, condensed her true energy on her fingertips, used the void as paper, and drew an evil talisman.

"Did you see it..." she asked.

Shang Ye looked at the evil-proof talisman that emitted a faint golden light and said without thinking: "Zhang Xiaobao's talisman is not like yours..."

"You have some understanding..." Li Yu smiled, then waved her hand to scatter the talismans in the air, and said: "I taught Zhang Xiaobao his talisman step by step, but his talisman is not like mine, but you are like

He...the talisman path created by the sages is like a real road. As long as you don't go astray, it's all up to you how to walk, whether you fly, run, or ride in a car."

"Zhang Xiaobao has some... Anyway, it is impossible to learn the talisman by the method you force memorize, but he found a different way, starting from one place on the talisman surface, and after thoroughly understanding the talisman contained in the strokes and lines,

Then he elaborates and understands the nearby parts. Learning a talisman is like putting together a torn painting. When the painting is put together, he fully grasps the talisman contained in this talisman.

"

"After that, when he draws the talisman again, as long as he does not destroy the overall shape of the talisman, he will even give free rein to many details, thus drawing a talisman with his own personal style."

"And you..."

Li Yu stared at Shang Ye, shook her head, and said: "Actually, most of the apprentices in my Taoist sect are just like you, using the method of copying the gourd and drawing the scoop to learn the talismans. After all, the talismans are obscure and difficult to understand. Without talent and perseverance, it is really difficult.

Profound.”

"But if you practice like this, even if you learn all the talismans in the "Xuanxin Demon-Conquering Talisman Record" in the future, they are just foreign objects after all, not your talismans..."

Li Yu's words somewhat reminded Shang Ye not to waste or abuse his talents.

But in his ears, it had a different meaning. There was a much-talked-about topic in the Hongmeng Light gaming circle, and almost all players had participated in the debate on this topic.

A great player once put forward an argument: the more players rely on the system, the more difficult the path will be in the later stages. It becomes almost impossible to break through the framework of "Tao Xing", create their own skills, or understand the secrets of the original skills.

possible.

Taking Shang Ye's previous life as an example, he relied on system-assisted operations to refine elixirs and medicines, and the quality always tended to be average. If there was insufficient preparation, the quality would decline, and excellent quality would almost never appear.

After summing up this point, he began to get rid of the system and operate independently. Although he suffered a lot in his first attempt, and it was common to destroy the furnace and destroy the medicine, it was precisely because of this that he actually found his own way.

He even made an analogy, blended the meaning of Shu Dao Fire Technique and Alchemy Dao Smelting, and created his own "Fire Emperor Killing Dao" - this top offensive fire technique.

However, in the player circle at that time, there were other views. They believed that the so-called self-creation and understanding were just hidden fixed attributes. When they reached a certain standard, they were randomly selected by the system based on probability like a lottery.

That's all.

"They are just lucky ones. After all, pursuing those metaphysical things in the virtual world is a very stupid thing."

"If the spiritual energy of our world is revived, will these great gods with extremely high 'understanding' be able to ascend from the same place, haha..."

"This is the only game company in the world that hides players' attribute data so tightly that they suddenly realize the originality. Who knows if it's an internal player who earns money?"

There are countless comments like this.

In his previous life, Shang Ye was a staunch supporter of the independent school, and most of the people around him were also the same.

It's just that now that he has traveled through time, in order to gain power as quickly as possible, he somewhat wants to take a shortcut. After Li Yu reminded him, he became slightly awakened.

In his previous life, Shang Ye majored in alchemy and magic. If nothing unexpected happens in this life, he will go far in swordsmanship and talismans. In this case, for future development, the basics must be laid firmly...

Thinking of this, Shang Ye clasped his hands to Li Yu and said, "Thank you Li Jiaoyu for your advice."

Li Yu responded with a smile and continued the previous explanation of Talismans.

Time passed very quickly. The man driving the car was also a good person. After realizing what was going on in the car, even the sound of hitting the horse and shouting became much softer, for fear of disturbing them.

It's just that the relationship between the two is not always the model of a good teacher and a good student.

Occasionally, Li Yu would ask him sympathetically about the reason and the inside story of the incident in the Red Blood Mountain Forest.

Shang Ye's heart is like a mirror. He has not forgotten that he still has the title of "The Last of Us". Now he is performing "excellent" and it is difficult for people in the Taoist sect not to pay attention to him.

Who dares to say that Li Yu, who insists on traveling with him, is not under surveillance...

Although Shang Ye is not a professional analyst among the players and is proficient in communicating with plot characters, he is still somewhat of an old man. It is naturally impossible to get some words out of his mouth.

After all, "knowing too much" is undoubtedly a recipe for death.

He completely replaced himself as a young man with a deep personality, but he encountered a sudden disaster and accidentally entered the secret valley, without any communication with the Huangquan Sect.

When asked, he said, "I don't understand either..."

"I will definitely avenge my hometown elders in the future..."

"...all the things were taken by the person named Gong."

After many exchanges with no results, Li Yu put her thoughts on the temptation for a while.

At dusk, Li Yu suddenly winked at Shang Ye, left some money on the cargo box, picked up her curtain hat, and led him to quietly jump out of the car.

Under the setting sun, the graceful woman quietly looked at the carriage going away, then put on her curtain hat and walked straight to the inn on the roadside...
Chapter completed!
