Chapter Eleven: Bookworms Don't Listen Out of the Window(1/2)
Thinking about what the old man said, I looked up at the stacked bookshelf behind me, thinking that even if I couldn't get the divine fire here, I had to collect these books into my own divine sea.
Seeing the smile on Li Xiuyuan's face, the old man looked at him and said quietly: "Don't be frightened by these mountains. I have read for hundreds of years, and no one has read all the books here. ....."
His meaning is very obvious, don't be afraid, take your time.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking that if he were replaced by an old man, why wouldn't he have to spend more effort?
"I hope you can calm down." The old man spread his hands and said, "Look at that guy Wang Qiang, he couldn't bear to run away after staying here for three months..."
"I want to try." Li Xiuyuan said seriously: "I'll start from the corner of this mountain. This thing won't trouble me..."
"Is that so?" The old man looked at him and said with a smile, "Do you still have time to sweep the floor and cook?"
Li Xiuyuan thought carefully for a moment and then said: "Junior, I spent half a day sweeping the world and reading a book. The meal can be simpler, but the book must be read..."
But the old man didn't want to disturb Li Xiuyuan's practice because of sweeping the floor.
Looking at him, he said: "Let's see, people on the mountain are talking a lot these days. I'll ask Wang Qiang to find someone to take over for you for half a month. You can just sit here and study in peace these days..."
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he quickly stood up and thanked the old man.
After thinking for a while, he said: "In this case, the juniors will be more respectful than obey orders."
The old man looked at him and smiled and said: "You don't have to cook tomorrow, just have a bite with me. Let's see if you can break through this weapon refining method in half a month!"
Li Xiuyuan was startled. He didn't expect that he wouldn't even have to cook now?
"This will cause trouble for seniors." Li Xiuyuan cupped hands with the old man, thinking that he would have to treat the old man to a drink some other time.
Without saying much, Li Xiuyuan calmed down and calmed down the excitement in his heart. He reached out and gently opened the book "The Way of Refining Weapons" in front of him.
He murmured: "Let me chop this mountain with a knife..."
He was holding a book in his hand, but he still couldn't gather his energy. He leaned on the chair and looked at the book in his hand, but he seemed a little nervous.
Even he himself couldn't explain why he had such a strong desire for the mountain of books in the room in front of him.
Probably because the poems and books in Chunfeng Academy were so easy to read when he was a child, he forgot about the hardships of coming to another world to study. Everything now happened because of the love between Ping An and Yuan Zunqiu.
This made him fall in love with the mountain of books in front of him more and more, and he thought that he would copy a few books and take them back with him in a few days.
At least when you leave Shuwu Continent, you should bring back a few volumes of your favorite books.
He has gone through life and death to get here from Tianhuang Mountain, and he must find a way to climb the peaks in front of him.
He wanted to overcome his fatigue and walk to higher mountains to see more scenery he had never seen before.
He has already traveled a lot of thousands of miles, and now he wants to read thousands of books and destroy the mountain of books in front of him.
When Li Xiuyuan was twelve years old, his practice in Tianyun Mountain with the old man in the library was the most proud period of his life, no less than his practice in Prajna Temple.
He once said to his husband: I cut a mountain of firewood and read a house of scriptures.
Only then did I know what real reading was.
No one knows how important this trip to the Xuanwu Continent is to the young man from Luoxia Mountain in the Shura Domain who was sold as a fat sheep by the bandits.
...
For Li Xiuyuan, studying with an old man is a big deal. No matter whether it is possible for him to become like the old man or not, he will give it a try.
Because Shushan is there, at least this opportunity is in front of him.
For most people, they need to remain calm during major events. Li Xiuyuan, who has experienced countless life and death hardships, has gradually allowed himself to do this.
Just like when he met those killers in Tianhuang Mountain, he forced himself to be calm. Before he could not become stronger, he had to learn to become calmer first, so that his mood would not be disturbed when things happened.
Summer has just arrived, and there is still autumn and a long harsh winter waiting for him. This is the opportunity God gave him to learn, and he doesn't want to miss it, especially with Ping An, Wang Qiang, and the kind old man in front of him.
From that day on, Li Xiuyuan never left the library, and he didn't even disturb the old man lying at the door.
Every day from dawn to dusk, a solitary lamp lights up in the library, and it never goes out until midnight.
Inspired by the world of weapon refining in the book, think of yourself as a divine fire between heaven and earth, burning quietly in the wind...
My spirit in the mountain of books is gradually relaxing, and I feel like I am that divine fire.
The moment of burning is eternity, the moment when the Shura sword in your hand gradually melts under the divine fire.
But the hand holding the hammer became tighter, a hundred times, a thousand times... ten thousand times, the hammer rose and fell.
The sword in the quenching sword is a flaming sword force that destroys everything. When Sha Na was thrown into the snow water and quenched, he encountered the Ruoshui sword Xingyi...
This is the meaning of the fusion of water and fire that Li Xiuyuan himself understood, and it has gone beyond the scope of what the old Taoist priest originally explained to him.
This is Li Xiuyuan's own swordsmanship.
...
As the days passed, Dabi's recruitment of disciples arrived as scheduled, and guests from many famous sects arrived as scheduled and gathered on Tianyun Mountain.
Li Xiuyuan stayed quietly in the library, paying no attention to everything that happened on the mountain and never went out again.
When it came to sweeping the floor, the old man asked Wang Qiang to replace him, saying that Li Xiuyuan wanted to study in peace.
Ping An would go down the mountain occasionally, and would sit there very cutely watching Li Xiuyuan in a daze. Then he would ask the old man for some snacks, stay for a while, and then jump up the mountain.
He was in a good mood and could finally call his senior brother master.
After the competition on the mountain began, all five venerables appeared. However, this was only the news he got from Ping An, and he forgot about it after hearing it.
It only took him three days to finish reading the book "The Way of Refining Weapons" in front of him.
The old man didn't care about the competition in the mountains. He just paid attention to the young man who was sitting in front of the window and slashed Shushan with a knife.
He heard Li Xiuyuan say that after reading this thick book on weapon refining in his hand, how could he believe it in his heart?
Holding the thick book in his hands, he flipped through a few questions to study Li Xiuyuan.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiuyuan memorized the old man's problems and also put forward some of his own opinions, which made the old man feel very incredible.
Looking at him, he said: "When the sect competition is over, I have to call the old man Yuan Zun... From now on, you will follow him to practice the art of weapon refining."
Although Li Xiuyuan was happy, he also knew the difficulties he faced.
Looking at the old man, he murmured: "The way of refining weapons lies in refining fire. I haven't found the legendary divine fire yet. How can I learn the way of refining weapons from Senior Yuan Zun?"
The old man laughed angrily at him, looked at him and said seriously: "According to what you said, all the weapon-refining families only have one divine fire. Is it possible that their descendants don't need to learn it?"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard it, but he thought that he had never thought about this problem seriously.
...
When night fell, Li Xiuyuan still sat quietly in front of the window of the library, opened the treasure book of weapon refining again, started over, and studied it seriously.
After reading books for several days, plus my own previous experience, I summarized the three skills needed to refine spiritual weapons.
The first is that he needs to learn how to refine magic weapons.
Ouyang Dongli didn't know this skill before, so he didn't teach him. Even Gui Guzi later only taught him the Tao of Talisman, and he understood some from the Tao of Talisman.
But it doesn't mean he has entered this way. He needs to learn it from scratch.
Second, he needs to learn how to engrave restrictions.
This is not a big problem for him as a Talisman Master. As long as there is a forbidden engraving method, he can slowly try to engrave it in practice, because he has already built the formation disk under Luoxia Mountain.
The third method is to learn to use the rules of fusion between monster materials and weapon refining materials.
Mastering this law is much more difficult than his inscription of runes. This is the skill he needs to learn from Yuan Zun. In the future, if he has good monster materials, he will no longer need to sell them.
If you refine it directly into a spiritual weapon and sell it, it will be more valuable.
Although it is recorded in the book, the method and skills of refining it still need Yuan Zun on the mountain to guide him to get started.
Otherwise, even if he gets the divine fire, the most he can do is to re-cast his Shura sword and divine dragon bow.
If he becomes a master of weapon refining, he can carve a magic circle on the Shura Sword, turning the divine sword into a magic weapon, and its power will be doubled.
Is it possible that I can make Shura Sword into a magical sword?
Once Li Xiuyuan sat down in the Sutra Collection Tower, he sat there for fifteen days.
Until the old man reminded him to make tea and drink it, Li Xiuyuan had not washed himself for more than ten days.
The old man looked at Li Xiuyuan, who was disheveled and disheveled, and frowned and said, "Why are you doing this? Make yourself look so miserable!"
Li Xiuyuan looked at the old man sitting in front of him and replied in a daze: "I have been sitting here reading these days? Senior, where is the Tao in the world? The Tao in this book is the truth, but I have not seen the Tao?"
The old man pointed to the empty cup on the table and said, "I'm thirsty. Let's make tea first."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, stretched out his hand to light the charcoal fire in the stove, and then continued to ask: "Senior, please help me clear up my doubts..."
The old man looked at the gradually rising fire and smiled lightly: "Tao is in the world, Tao is in people's hearts. In my eyes, Tao is everywhere, and Tao has been integrated into thousands of families."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, saying that he didn't even understand, and continued to ask: "Confucianism is used to govern the world, so where is Confucianism? You won't tell Confucianism that Confucianism is also in people's hearts, right?"
When the old man heard this, he looked at the scroll in Li Xiuyuan's hand and couldn't help but smile. "Confucianism is in the court, and Confucianism always upholds the principles of integrity, so that the country can operate normally. If the principles are not always upright, the king will be immoral and dishonest.
"
Li Xiuyuan understood this sentence clearly because he had personally experienced the ups and downs of the Five Domains Dynasty.
I lowered my head and thought about it. I have a very close relationship with the old man and I still have some understanding of Buddhism.
