According to rumors, the origin of Qipingmen paper technique.
????
(Special conditions are required for identification!)
Seeing that the entries in the prop book were full of question marks, Xu Tong could only take out the book. If this book wanted to become a prop card, it needed to be authenticated.
However, the above also required special conditions, which made Xu Tong very embarrassed for a while. He vaguely guessed that this condition probably required the consent of the Mei family.
This thing is the only copy written by Taoist Meihua himself. Even for the sake of his friendship with Mei Du and the fact that he helped them find the lost artifact of the Mei family, the Mei family would most likely be willing to copy a copy to him.
It's definitely not possible to have a solitary copy.
Since you can’t go there, let’s just watch it here.
Isn't there just a ready-made translator here to guide me?
"Ahem, Master, what does it mean?"
"Slowly turn it over and let me see it first!"
I saw the white paper in my arms twisting a few times and changing into the shape of embroidered shoes again.
Xu Tong followed his master's wife Kui Nu's words and slowly read through the pages. In addition to the words, there were also specially drawn paper symbols. Some of them Xu Tong could understand, but some could not.
After flipping through the pages, a picture suddenly made his eyes jump slightly.
There is actually a template picture of Qianmo!
This picture is exactly the template pattern for printing money molds.
The complex textures on the money mold are described in detail, and many places are specially annotated. Xu Tong patiently compared it with the money mold in his hand, and found that the damaged hole in his hand was at the end of the money mold.
A complicated place.
The content indeed confirmed part of his conjectures.
To carve such a money mold, you really need a master-level carpenter to make it.
If you are not a great master, even if you are highly skilled and forcibly carve it out, you will lose its charm and your lifespan will be shortened as a result.
The content on the next page is what is needed to print the money mold.
Xu Tong kept every word in mind, for fear of missing something.
There is not much content in this book. After Xu Tong read page after page, he heard the voice of his master's wife, Kui Nu, saying: "So that's it, it's really the same thing that never changes!"
Xu Tong listened carefully with his ears perked up, and quickly acted like a curious baby and asked, "What do you mean?"
Kui Nu did not answer directly. Instead, she teased Xu Tong: "When your master was alive, he asked you to study more. It seems you still don't understand this."
"Forget it, I can repay you with some karma. Do you still remember the Yan Shu that I told you about?"
"Is this the magical technique you talked about today?" He continued to pretend to be dumbfounded.
It turns out that the reason why Xu Tong was willing to bring Kui Nu in was, on the one hand, to see what this girl wanted to do, and on the other hand, because Kui Nu taught Xu Tong a formula.
According to Kui Nu, in ancient times, magic was the mainstream.
In the original writing, the word "shu" was very complicated.
But if you make a comparison, you will find that regardless of Buddhism, Taoism, evil, or demons, almost all talismans have the same context as the original word "shu".
It is precisely because of this that there is a saying that the context of the great road is displayed in the form of magic.
Later, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, hundreds of schools of thought emerged, but Laozi and Li Er demonstrated the existence of Tao to the world in a more profound way.
Only then did many people realize that Tao is a higher-level existence than art. Gradually, people excluded art from the mainstream, and even called it a low-end trick, and finally fell into the lower realm.
But this does not deny that the power of art is that compared with the unattainable or even illusory Tao, art is easier to get started and learn.
Even to this day, art is still the first choice for spiritual practice among people all over the world.
The source of magic is Yan Shu.
The reason why Yanshu can give plants and trees life like human beings is because Yanshu skillfully injects the subtle power between heaven and earth into these vegetation puppets and shapes their spiritual bones.
To put it bluntly, it means using the power of heaven and earth to make plants and trees become spirits.
This is the origin of the spell, and it is also why the spells written on the so-called talismans all look like the outline of the spell.
"Although the contents in this book are all paper skills, there is one article that is a real Yanshu, and it is the most important ability in Yanshu, searching for spirits and bones!"
"So... the reason why Taoist Meihua continuously develops all kinds of strange spells is because of this Yanshu?"
Xu Tong was shocked.
Now he finally understands why he used the massive incense merits, cooperated with Plum Blossom Yishu and Mingyan Qimen to calculate, but finally saw the box of [Thousand Machine God] and told him that this thing was very important to him.
I'm afraid it's because of the Yanshu hidden in Qianji Shen.
But Kui Nu didn't know that she had already mastered part of Yanshu, and she had also taught herself the basic Yanshu formulas.
"That's right! I think Taoist Meihua must have gotten some of the true inheritance of Yan Shu from somewhere, but it only has the true inheritance, but no moves. That's why he searched for different techniques from all over the world and combined them to start over."
Kui Nu was actually not very familiar with Taoist Meihua. Later, Daotu heard about some of Taoist Meihua's deeds. At first, she was also puzzled as to how Taoist Meihua rose up out of thin air.
Now everything has an answer.
"You combine the formula I taught you today, start reading along the fourth line of the third page, and slowly understand it, you will naturally understand the mystery."
Plum Blossom Taoist hid Yan Shu in the middle paragraph. Many people cannot understand the meaning at all. They only feel that they are not enlightened enough and cannot understand the truth, so they can only learn it by imitating it.
But Kui Nu is a deity from ancient times. She can see the little tricks of the Plum Blossom Taoist at a glance. She also guided Xu Tong to reason backwards and single out the most precious piece of Yan Shu.
Xu Tong tried to understand the meaning of that passage according to Kui Nu's way.
As I read, I couldn't help but compare the spirit-enchanting techniques in Paper Craftsman's Book and the spirit-destroying techniques in Yanshu.
Gradually a light seemed to be lit in his mind.
His thoughts became clearer and clearer, and countless connections seemed to light up in his mind. Starlight flickered in the depths of his eyes, quickly gathering together, and a word "shu" appeared in Xu Tong's eyes.
Then this character started from the simple script and deduced backwards, through traditional Chinese, regular script, cursive script, and official script. The structure of the character became more and more complex, and finally stopped at the seal script.
A word "shu" with a graceful shape and fresco lines full of peculiar charm appeared in the depths of his eyes.
Suddenly, Xu Tong felt an extremely strange feeling in his heart, as if everything around him had an invisible texture.
It's a pity that Kui Nu is not attached to Xu Tong's true body and cannot feel the strange changes in Xu Tong's body at this moment. Otherwise, I don't know how I would feel when I see Xu Tong actually having an epiphany about the true core of Yan Shu.
I don't know how long it took, but Kui Nu finally lost her patience and urged: "Do you understand it? If you don't understand it, just write it down first, and then you can slowly understand it when you go back."
Xu Tong calmed down, suppressed his inner excitement, and put it back on the bookshelf.
This thing no longer means much to me.
After understanding the origin of Yan Shu and combining it with his paper craftsman's book, it was only a matter of time before he could complete the paper skills. More importantly, the emergence of Yan Shu allowed Xu Tong to finally find a new direction for the future.
After all, it doesn’t matter if you are good at swordsmanship or practicing Shankou.
These can only be called means, they do not truly belong to oneself.
Without the Chunyang Sword, the master, and the prop cards, after the script is divided, these methods will gradually become far away from me.
If you want to become stronger and truly become a powerful player, Yanshu is what you need most in the future, and it is also something that belongs entirely to you.
Of course, Xu Tong will not expose this trump card easily before he has completely mastered Yan Shu.
"What's next? What are you going to do?"
Xu Tong put down his books and walked out. As he walked, he asked his wife what she wanted to do.
"It's very simple. There is a stone tablet inlaid on the chimney of the crematorium, with a picture of reincarnation carved on it. Just take it off."
"The picture of reincarnation? What is that? Is it a treasure??"
Xu Tong walked very slowly, and in the time it took to speak, he had just reached the door.
"It is a picture of reincarnation carved by Feng Xilu, a master of Manchu engraving. It was placed on the chimney of the incinerator and absorbed the smoke of countless corpses. Now it has become a very scary artifact.
"
"Oh, so that's it."
Xu Tong nodded thoughtfully, turned around and walked out faster.
The direction of the incinerator is easy to identify, after all, it is a large chimney.
In a few short steps, Xu Tong's figure was like a black cat, jumping lightly and silently on the chimney. Sure enough, he saw the shiny black stone tablet on the top of the chimney.
He stretched out his hand and pushed hard on the stone tablet.
"Kakakaka..."
I saw the stone tablet swaying slightly and then tilting immediately.
Seeing the stone tablet being moved down, a billowing haze suddenly rose under the entire crematorium, a cool breeze blew over, and the surrounding temperature instantly dropped by more than ten degrees.
"Hahaha, what a good disciple, what a good disciple, you are really my lucky star!"
Sensing that the aura that could suppress him was gradually disappearing, the embroidered shoes in his arms immediately flew out of Xu Tong's arms and twisted a few times in mid-air. A dazzling red light appeared on the shoes.
The red light seemed to open a passage, and a figure silently shuttled through the space, crossing from a distance.
"Yes, how can I not do my best to serve my master's wife?"
Xu Tong saw a white little foot stepping on the embroidered shoe. He narrowed his eyes and saw that the hand that had not let go of the stone tablet suddenly pulled it back.
"Click!"
The stone tablet was moved again and erected in its original position.
