Chapter two hundred and forty-nine Heart does not hide ghosts, no fear of gods and Buddhas
Lu Changsheng looked helpless, but Zhong Youde's expression changed. He looked at Lu Changsheng and said in disbelief: "You don't really know the magic of Dingjia, do you?"
"I will." At this time, Lu Changsheng had no need to hide it. After all, Zhong Youde was his brother. He didn't tell him before because the Dingjia magic made him feel too strange. Maybe practicing it was not a good thing.
.
"Gudong" Zhong Youde swallowed, "Where did you learn it from? Can you teach me?"
"Not now." Lu Changsheng shook his head, "As for where you learned it, you don't have to worry about it, but the Purifying Talisman does not have the effect of a purification spell, because the one I just used just made the stars wake up."
"That's right." Zhong Youde smiled, "Of course you can't exert the effect of Dingjia's magic, because you are not a disciple of the Maoshan sect at all, and you have never practiced the formulas and mental methods of the Maoshan sect."
"Do you still need formulas and mental methods?" Lu Changsheng looked strange.
"Of course it is. If there is no need for formulas and mental techniques, wouldn't anyone know how to use the Dingjia magic of the Maoshan sect?" Zhong Youde explained, and then asked, "Do you have faith?"
"No!" Lu Changsheng shook his head directly and said, "Compared with those Laoshizi gods, I believe in myself more. I have the heart to cultivate Taoism, I don't hide ghosts in my heart, and I have no fear of gods and Buddhas!"
"The heart does not hide ghosts and is not afraid of gods and Buddhas?" Zhong Youde was shocked, "Who told you this?"
"No one told me, this is my Tao, so I only believe in myself." Lu Changsheng said calmly, "What's more, you should know the history of Taoism better than me in the five thousand years of China. Many gods are not human beings.
?"
"No, you are wrong!" Zhong Youde shook his head and said, "Some gods are not transformed by humans. I know what you want to say. My Taoist practice seeks immortality, so humans are the foundation, but there are no human beings yet.
At that time, there were already gods. Even if humans become gods, they are not the oldest gods. Those gods represent the Tao. Only by believing in them can you understand the Tao!"
"This is your Tao, but it's not mine." Lu Changsheng shook his head, "You have already said that Taoist cultivation seeks immortality, and talent is the foundation. Since talent is the foundation, why should we believe in those things?
What about gods? Even if they are ancient, what can they do? The so-called Tao is just walking their own way!"
"Okay, I can't convince you. We are destined to take different paths in the future. Give me the Dingjia magic!" Zhong Youde said directly.
Lu Changsheng was a little hesitant, but thinking of what Zhong Youde said just now, he finally gave Zhong Youde the upper and lower chapters of the Dingjia Magic: "I advise you to use the talisman here with caution, because it may cause deep harm.
If he is trapped and unable to extricate himself, so what if he can gain strength in a short time? But after all, he is not his own!"
Zhong Youde took the book and nodded, but he did not agree with Lu Changsheng's statement. The two of them had different paths. Lu Changsheng followed his own path, while Zhong Youde followed the traditional path of cultivation, which was also from Maoshan.
The way to practice.
However, although he was excited, he was not completely confused by Ding Jia's magic. This really made Lu Changsheng less worried. Zhong Youde looked directly at the painting method of Qing Shen Talisman.
Then he took out the cinnabar yellow paper and a pen with special hair and began to draw, but Lu Changsheng found that it was very different from the talisman carved by his mind.
The difference is that when his strokes continue, every vein seems to be alive, and finally forms a special symbol, which secretly guides a terrifying power.
During the painting process, Zhong Youde also injected true energy, but Lu Changsheng also discovered that the essential difference between the talisman painted by Zhong Youde and the talisman he deliberately created lies in the different powers aroused.
When Zhong Youde finished the painting, he was already sweating profusely. Lu Changsheng just looked at him strangely but said nothing, because when he was drawing, Zhong Youde had been reciting something silently. Those syllables were obviously not Chinese, but a Chinese syllable.
It's a strange language that at least Lu Changsheng can't understand.
However, when he heard this, Lu Changsheng did not expect that the books in the golden lake suddenly began to absorb these languages and evolved symbols one by one.
Suddenly, an ancient text appeared in the golden book. Each of these words revealed the ancient rhyme of Taoism, as if they had been buried for thousands of years and glowed again.
"Yeah!" Lu Changsheng was shocked. He suddenly thought of the origin of these words.
Before the pre-Qin Dynasty, there were hundreds of schools of thought, and each vassal state had its own writing system.
These characters have basically been lost to this day, because after the Qin State unified China, the First Emperor ordered the unification of characters, so the characters of the Qin State are now used, which is the current Chinese characters.
As for whether what Qin Shihuang did was right or not, Lu Changsheng did not express any opinion, because in Qin Shihuang's eyes, if the entire empire still used various different characters, it would be detrimental to the unification of the empire. But from another perspective, various countries
All words have their value.
But the value of imperial integrity and culture are contradictory, at least in that era. If Qin Shihuang had not ordered the unification of writing, there might not have been the Han Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, or the Great Sui Dynasty.
During the Tang Dynasty, China would not have existed as it is today, and perhaps it would have been a disintegrated China.
Therefore, Lu Changsheng will not comment on whether what Qin Shihuang did was right or not, but at least his contribution exists. He created a unified thinking, and the writings of hundreds of schools of thought and various countries also have their value.
.
Just like now, Zhong Youde used the previous special characters to draw the Qing Shen Talisman and Lu Changsheng used the Qin characters before the current Chinese characters to paint the Ding Jia magic spell. The effect will naturally be different.
"You must be wondering why the talisman I drew is different from the talisman you drew, right?" Zhong Youde stopped writing and said with sweat profusely, "It's very simple, it's because of faith, because I have faith, and
You don’t, but I don’t believe in the original gods of Dingjia Divine Art, but believe in the three founders of the Maoshan Sect, Sanmao Zhenjun. The Dingjia Divine Art I use is completely different from the Dingjia Divine Art you use.
of."
"Yes." Lu Changsheng nodded, "What language is written on your talisman?"
"It's not any Chinese script, it's the orthodox Chinese script!" Zhong Youde said calmly.
"What do you mean?" Lu Changsheng asked curiously.
"Although the Chinese characters we use now are Qin characters, the Chinese characters have not changed since Cangjie created the characters, but later they all became written in Qin characters. This is also a historical trend and cannot be changed by manpower.
Yes, but the orthodox Chinese characters have never been lost. They are carried in Qin texts in various ways. If you don’t believe it, just look at it.” As he said that, Zhong Youde picked up the brush again, wrote two words on it, and then said
, "These are all Qin characters. Although the writing methods are different, the pronunciation methods are the same. Therefore, I say that the splendid culture of various schools of thought and even before the pre-Qin period has not been lost, it is just carried in Qin writing."
"Then what was that thing you were chirping about just now?" Lu Changsheng asked strangely, "Isn't the way of reciting it different?"
"No, there is a big difference between the ancient way of reading and the modern way of reading. For example, classical Chinese and vernacular Chinese. You can understand the vernacular, but can you easily understand the classical Chinese?" Zhong Youde asked, "If you read the classical Chinese, you can understand the vernacular."
If the method is different, you won't be able to use the Dingjia magic at all, it's just that your recitation is not very standard, but it is standard in modern times, but not in ancient times."
"That's what you said." Lu Changsheng nodded, as if an ordinary person saw the things painted on the Maoshan sect's talismans.
They couldn't understand it and thought it was some kind of symbol, but in fact it was a kind of writing, but since the Qin Dynasty, it was no longer written that way. History is like a rolling torrent, constantly changing.
The pronunciation of words also began to evolve, and eventually it became a unified standard that was passed down to the mouths of future generations.
"You just said that you believe in Lord San Mao, don't you believe in God Liu Ding Liu Jia?" Lu Changsheng asked strangely.
"There is a saying that people who have no faith cannot stand, which actually has another meaning." Zhong Youde explained, "In our Maoshan School's explanation, it is like this, people have no faith but do not stand; people have faith but are fearless.
, people are inherently fragile, especially the mind, so when you have a belief, the path of cultivation will be much better than without belief. At least you have a path to follow, and basically there will be no inner demons.
But if you don’t have faith, all roads need to be opened up by yourself, and there is no way to follow. This is the case with Sanmao Zhenjun, the founder of our Maoshan sect. Although they believe in the Liuding Liujia God, it is just the support needed by human frailty.
When they become flying immortals and ascend to the throne of gods, they naturally no longer need to believe, and our Maoshan sect believes in the three ancestors, not Liuding Liujia God, and the power we rely on is also Sanmao Zhenjun!"
"Okay!" Lu Changsheng finally understood, "However, I still won't follow your path, because that is your way."
"I'm not forcing you to go with me, but your road will definitely be harder than anyone else's. You may not be able to get to the front at all, or you may..." Although Zhong Youde did not say the last few words,
It was a word, but Lu Changsheng understood what he meant.
"Okay, let's quickly treat Xingxing. After he's cured, we still have to settle the score with the Japanese people." Lu Changsheng said.
"Yes." Zhong Youde nodded. He used the talisman differently from Lu Changsheng. After reciting a long spell, he stuck it on Zhou Xingxing's forehead.
As Zhong Youde muttered something, the talisman suddenly turned into a ball of flame. After it burned out, Zhou Xingxing suddenly got up from the bed and felt like vomiting.
With a "wow" sound, Zhou Xingxing vomited, but what he vomited out was not the contents of his stomach, but a turbid and dirty black gas.
