At this time, Ye Xinxue took a deep breath. She raised her head bravely and looked at Li Qiye bravely. She said, "The teacher is right. My talent has been mediocre since I was a child.
Comparing it makes me feel ashamed. It is true that I love reading miscellaneous books, but I should not regard it as an excuse for my incompetence, nor can I regard it as a fortress to escape reality, so I beg the teacher to teach me."
Having said this, Ye Xinxue bowed deeply to the ground and could not get up for a long time.
"Since I am your teacher, I will give you guidance." Li Qiye waved his hand gently, asking Ye Xinxue to stand up, looked at her, and said slowly: "The road is not easy, whether it is in cultivation or knowledge.
Just like the legend you read, if you want to falsely seek the truth, you need to confirm it step by step and explore it step by step. This is true for knowledge, and it is also true for cultivation..."? At this point, Li Qiye paused.
, and said slowly: "...Whether you want to practice, or you want to learn, or you can master miscellaneous books, what can get you to the end is a firm and unshakable Taoist heart. As long as you
Persistence, as long as you can't forget it, can make you go further."
At this time, Li Qiye looked at Ye Xinxue, and Ye Xinxue was silent for a moment, but she still mustered up the courage to meet Li Qiye's eyes, and said very seriously and firmly: "Teacher, I am not a talented person.
I am not a smart person, or I cannot do what the teacher imagined, but I am willing to work hard, I am willing to try, and as long as there is a chance, I am not willing to live up to the teacher's expectations."
"Having such an idea is also a good start." Li Qiye nodded and said: "No one is born with a firm Taoist heart. This is impossible. Talent can be unparalleled from birth, but
, Taoist heart, this needs to be polished and settled. Only through the wind and rain can your Taoist heart be stabilized. As long as you work hard, as long as you persist, as long as you don't give up, you will always see a true Taoist heart.
."
Ye Xinxue nodded silently. Although she had not fully understood what Li Qiye said, she remembered every word in her heart.
"Let's go, I'll take you to a place." Li Qiye said calmly, turned around and left.
Ye Xinxue was busy keeping up. Although she didn't know what Li Qiye would teach her, she was willing to take such a step. Because everyone else had given up on her, but Li Qiye had not.
In her family, there are too many peers who are better than her. Although she is the eldest daughter in the family, she is left far behind in moral conduct. What's more, she likes to read miscellaneous books and spend all day in bed.
The eldest daughter, who looked like a nerd among the books, was completely looked down upon by the elders of the family. Even her parents felt that her eldest daughter was not worth raising, so they ignored her and left her to fend for herself.
Don't tell her to give her advice.
Even because she likes to read miscellaneous books, she is often laughed at or pointed out by her peers in the family, and the elders in the family often scold her for this matter. In the eyes of the elders, her liking to read miscellaneous books means that she is not doing her job properly.
It is precisely because of this that Ye Xinxue escapes, not only from training, but also from people in her family, so she is willing to come to the study room. For her, the sea and the sky are vast here. There are endless books to read here.
, and no one will laugh at her, no one will point fingers at her.
Although the sea and sky are vast in the study, for Ye Xinxue, there is still the weakest place in the deepest part of her heart. As Li Qiye said, she is escaping and escaping into the fortress of the sea of books, not daring to step out of her own.
fortress.
In fact, she also knew that she was escaping and did not dare to step out of her fortress until she met Li Qiye today. Li Qiye gave her a chance, and Li Qiye would not laugh at her or treat her because she likes to read miscellaneous books.
Being prejudiced, Li Qiye opened a window for her, which made Ye Xinxue willing to step out of the shadow in her heart and embrace the sunshine.
In the Book Temple, there are many collections of books. There are books everywhere, and there are study rooms everywhere. Whether under the rocks on the mountain peaks or in the ravines in the deep ravines, there are books.
Li Qiye took Ye Xinxue to a mountain peak. There was a stone chamber on the mountain peak. There was nothing else in the stone chamber, except that the four walls were covered with murals.
To be more precise, this is more like a child or a mischievous person graffitiing here, and it is not a mural by a master at all.
Standing in the stone chamber, Li Qiye smiled faintly and said: "Since you love reading miscellaneous books so much and have a wide range of knowledge, then this is the time to test you. You can take a closer look to see what kind of meanings are here.
."
Hearing Li Qiye's words, Ye Xinxue's spirits were lifted. She had never been to this stone room before because there were so many books in the study that she couldn't finish them all, let alone the murals.
Now that Li Qiye said this, she immediately became energetic. She hurriedly came over and carefully looked at the murals in the stone chamber, or the ghost paintings.
This stone chamber is covered with patterns, even the dome. When you look at these patterns carefully, you will wonder if this is someone's boring graffiti, or someone is playing a prank here and drawing symbols randomly.
Because the patterns here are so ugly, so ugly that even a three-year-old child cannot draw such ugly murals.
But when she looked carefully at these scribbling patterns, Ye Xinxue was suddenly attracted. She looked at them with relish. At this moment, Ye Xinxue was attracted to them. Looking at each of these patterns, she
I forgot everything, even Li Qiye.
Li Qiye just sat there and waited quietly, very patiently, even as if he was asleep.
I don't know how long it took for Ye Xinxue to finish reading all the murals. At this time, she was startled, and when she came back to her senses, she remembered that Li Qiye was beside her.
"Teacher, I, I, I was so absorbed in watching it." She found that she had forgotten the existence of Li Qiye, which made Ye Xinxue feel a little uneasy when she came back to her senses.
Li Qiye did not blame him, he just smiled lightly and said: "Seeking Tao means forgetting to sleep and eat. This is a very wonderful experience."
"Okay, let me test you." Li Qiye stood up with a smile. He pointed at a mural and said, "What is this."
This mural is painted crookedly, and the figure standing there looks like a deer, but it is so ugly that it even has a long nose. At first glance, it looks like it is a child who has just learned to draw.
It's the same as the child drew. In front of this indescribably ugly deer, there are three crooked curves, as if they were added at will.
"This, this deer has a nose, like the legendary Ming Deer. I, I saw it in a book, there are three curves, which represents Surabaya, because the Ming Deer treads Surabaya, this is a myth, legend
The Ming Deer can dominate all directions, but its power comes from Surabaya." Seeing this pattern, Ye Xinxue hesitated for a moment, and she said not very confidently.
"That's very well said." Li Qiye nodded and said encouragingly: "You are already very impressive. There are very few people who know how to call a deer and tread on Surabaya."
"Really?" Ye Xinxue was overjoyed when she heard Li Qiye's encouragement, and her heart was filled with joy.
In the past, if she told others about some myths or something, no one would listen attentively, or even sneer at her. Over time, she became unwilling to tell others.
"Yes, only if you can understand this meaning can you explore its mystery." Li Qiye nodded and said slowly: "What is this?"
The pattern Li Qiye pointed at was a circle. Under the circle was an extremely ugly chicken. The circle was complete, with a small indentation. It looked like a child's drawing of a chicken.
Small circle.
"This, this should be a Taiyi flying night phoenix. The circle with concave and dented parts is Taiyi. There is a bird on the circle, so it must be a night phoenix." Ye Xinxue looked at the pattern and said, "If the night phoenix enters the dark night, there will be disaster.
."
"That's right." Li Qiye nodded and added: "What you also pay attention to in this meaning is Taiyi. Taiyi comes from chaos. When it encounters darkness, it dominates light, and when it encounters light, it dominates darkness. Night Phoenix enters darkness.
, there must be disaster, so Taiyi Lord shines brightly to subdue it."
"That's right -" Hearing Li Qiye's addition, Ye Xinxue was startled, and then she felt happy in her heart and said, "I thought we were only talking about Ye Feng."
"What is this?" Li Qiye pointed at another pattern and said.
……………………
In this way, Li Qiye pointed at the patterns one by one for Ye Xinxue to identify. Ye Xinxue interpreted them carefully. When she didn't understand something, Li Qiye explained it to her one by one. If she missed anything, Li Qiye would add it to her.
.
To be honest, the patterns here look like ghost drawings, but they involve myths one after another, mythical beasts one after another or unknown. Only those with extensive knowledge can truly know these myths or meanings.
"You have done a good job. Only when you understand the meaning can you understand the mystery and focus on the meaning. In this meaning, this will open a avenue for you." Ye Xin said that night.
After Xue Bian finished identifying all the patterns, Li Qiye said with appreciation.
After being praised by Li Qiye, Ye Xinxue was full of surprises and very excited. Few people could praise her like this, and more importantly, recognize her knowledge so much. She lacked this feeling of recognition.
With great difficulty, Ye Xinxue recovered from her excitement, and then said to Li Qiye in surprise: "Teacher, you mean that all the murals here are the same technique?"
As she said that, she couldn't help but look at all the patterns in the stone chamber in surprise. Although the patterns in it all related to myths one after another, she had not thought about other aspects yet.
