The objects that An Jinlan took out were one of the two small cave worlds of An and Daomen, the small spiritual world.
It was that bonsai-like landscape piece. He had gone in once before entering Tongxuan. He had gained something, but due to the realm, he couldn't say much.
The bonsai is placed here, everyone can see it and feel it. Even most of the monks here have been in and out many times and are familiar with the basic world of this sect.
What they have to do now is to write an article using glyphs based on the aura revealed by the landscape bonsai, and see whose article best fits this small spiritual world.
Vulgar writing pays attention to gorgeous words, succession and synthesis, and profound allusions, but the carvings are different. It is more like the oldest hieroglyphics, which contains profound mechanisms of heaven and earth.
When the text is simplified and detailed, many unclear meanings will be lost. This is why this ancient carving still exists today.
This is a kind of assessment, but the test is not about combat effectiveness or cultivation level, but the ability to pass on one's own things. Taoism attaches great importance to this, they don't care whether a certain phenomenal figure will appear, but more importantly
He is good at accumulating ordinary and ordinary things over time, and finally transforms them from quantitative changes to qualitative changes.
In this sense, it is both unexpected and reasonable that the An clan will use this method to measure the glyphic abilities of each disciple this time; the only difference is that the small spiritual world is used as the target object.
This topic is a bit big for monks like them in the natural realm, and it is difficult to create a good and profound glyph.
But I have to admit that precisely because of the difficulty, we can clearly distinguish the level of carving ability among the monks.
The future of the true disciples determines the future of a Taoist tradition. Some Taoist traditions look at realm, some compare with combat effectiveness, and some pay attention to inheritance.
Anhe Taoism attaches greater importance to inheritance.
As soon as the title came out, the monks present immediately began to make a gold plate and a jade book. The material was not complicated. They took a blank jade plate and then burned their understanding of this small spiritual world on it in the form of engravings to maximize the effect.
It fits the artistic conception of this small world in the cave.
Some are concentrating on conceiving ideas, some are meditating and gaining insights, some are trying to grasp a certain inspiration, and some are writing quickly without hesitation.
Although no one made a certain promise and there were no special rules, Anhe Daomen held such a Dharma meeting in a private place for the first time after decades of chaos, so there must be something behind it.
This battle for true disciples is already more than ten years later than normal, and there are not many opportunities left for everyone. For an An clan meeting like this one, at least we can get the approval of Bei'an and the two real disciples. This is
Half the battle is won.
As for Nan An and the other three real people... that is another chance.
Seeing that the monks around him had already started to get it, Hou Zi felt a little overwhelmed; carvings like this were also a basic learning direction for practitioners in the Splendid Continent. Every monk had more or less contact with them when they entered the Tao.
However, the emphasis is different, and the degree of attention is even different.
Anhe Taoism attaches great importance to this aspect of Taoism, while Yanmen Taoism is the opposite.
Specific to him, it would be a lie to say he doesn’t understand anything at all, and to say he is proficient would be to look down on him. He is usually too busy practicing swordsmanship, so how can he have time to focus on these clouds and fog to benefit the future?
I sighed in my heart. Although I got approval from Master Xiao, I still have to fight for this opportunity myself. Nothing can fall from the sky.
I began to observe this landscape bonsai carefully, trying to find something different in it.
Although he is not proficient in glyphs, he believes that compared with other monks in the Three Realms of Tongtian, his understanding of nature is no different; whether the glyphs are mysterious or not, the key depends on the monk's personal understanding of Tao.
, glyphs are just a relatively alternative way of expression.
Pictographs such as glyphs have no fixed rules. They can be created on your own. The core lies in whether what you express is close to the essence.
So, he doesn't have no chance at all.
So far, he still has not made a final decision on which Taoist tradition he will become a true disciple of?
The road ahead is bleak, and we need to see it more clearly.
When he focused his attention on the appearance of this spiritual little world, the landscape and bonsai, he gradually came to a realization.
It is said that scenery is generated from within. What is displayed on the outside of this landscape bonsai is actually the external manifestation of its internal changes. The entire ecological and natural system has certain flaws, and it is not known that this is a problem with the small world of Dongtian itself.
?Or is there an overhaul that deliberately creates trouble in order to distinguish their abilities?
He could see this, in fact all the participants present could see it, but how to express such shortcomings through the Golden Jade Book and propose effective improvement methods requires the monk's personal ability.
Already.
Time passed by slowly bit by bit. Even though there were only a dozen or so Jindan cultivators present, Master An and Master Xiao must also be watching them silently in the manor, but they just didn't show up.
An hour passed, and some fast-moving monks had completed the production of their own golden version of the jade book. With the beginning, everyone speeded up in vain, and more and more people completed it. Finally, within two hours, all participants
All completed their tasks.
However, the assessment will only begin now.
Whose golden version of the jade book is the most realistic? The most insightful? The most constructive? Can it have an impact on the actual situation of Dongtian Small World?
It is difficult to convince the public to rely on elders to judge these things. There are always human factors involved and it is difficult to balance them. In this regard, the reason why this assessment uses the small spiritual world as the target is revealed.
Without the guidance of elders, the quality will only depend on the small world of Dongtian itself.
A monk at the front of the queue threw his gold-edited jade book forward, and the jade book sank into the small world of the cave. Immediately, the small world inside changed, and then this change was reflected back on the appearance of the landscape bonsai.
It means that everyone can judge the impact that person's cognition can have on the small world of Dongtian by observing the natural changes in this basin of mountains and waters.
Is it helpful? Is it harmful? Or has no reaction at all?
Does this kind of change only address the symptoms rather than the root cause? Or does it go straight to the core? Does it only touch the surface? Or does it go straight to the essence?
This kind of performance cannot be faked, because the small world of Dongtian has its own rules of operation and cannot be controlled.
After each participant's golden version of the jade book has been cast once, it will naturally be clear who is higher and who is lower.
