Chapter 24: The chirping of insects speaks brilliantly
In a class on Taoism, the old master spoke eloquently and eloquently, quoting scriptures from time to time, and explaining the way of heaven in a profound and mysterious way.
Liao Chong sat alone in the corner, listening in confusion.
The allusions quoted by the old master often made the disciples of the aristocratic family smile knowingly, but he didn't know why. In order to prevent himself from looking too stupid, he had to force out a stiff smile.
Liao Chong didn't know, what was the use of such a Taoist class? He couldn't even understand humans, so he still had to understand heaven?
To practice, doesn’t it suffice to be able to fight? As long as he can fight, he will have the opportunity to be an official, have enough to eat, become a strong man, and help the fellow villagers who have helped him.
"Pa -" the old master said the wonderful thing, he slapped the ruler suddenly, looked up to the sky and laughed three times: "The interest in this class has exhausted, I'm going to go!" After that, he didn't look back, and left with his big sleeves fluttering.
.
"Old Master's lectures on Taoism are so full of celestial spirit, it's like listening to wonderful music!" "The three thousand great ways are fascinating..." "Brother Xuan, Master said, 'Everything in the world is born from existence, and existence is from non-being.
'I'm a little confused, where does nothing come from?" "Shi Liulang, you are so stupid, you come from nothing!" "Brother Xuan, please forgive me for not agreeing with this statement. Haven't you heard the sages say that 'the path is nowhere to be found'?
Not here? It can be seen that the Tao is not in nowhere, but in somewhere..." "Where? The place of the twenty-eight virgins?" "Hahaha..."
The students from the aristocratic families were shaking their heads and discussing enthusiastically, while surrounding Xie Xuan, Zhi Qingzhen left. The next class was the Talisman class, and the students from the aristocratic families rushed to the Talisman Academy in the east, while the students from poor families and common people also dispersed one after another to practice on their own.
Liao Chong was the only one left in the empty school. He sat there for a long time before silently packing up his stationery and walking along the corridor.
The sun reflects his lonely shadow.
At the end of the corridor is a waterside pavilion. Going around the waterside pavilion, there is a school where talismans are taught.
"I wonder what will be taught in the Talisman class? It should be very useful." Liao Chong looked at the school from a distance and said to himself, with an inexplicable sadness in his heart.
"Want to know? Go listen and you will find out." A strange voice suddenly sounded.
Who is talking? Liao Chong was startled and looked around. There was no sign of anyone, only a few faint sounds of insects could be heard in the shade of the trees.
Liao Chong felt something was wrong and walked away quickly.
"Those who help themselves will be helped by God. Those who abandon themselves will be abandoned by God!"
This time Liao Chong heard it clearly. The voice was thin and bright, and it sounded a bit like the chirping of insects, but he understood the meaning of the words.
"Who are you? Where are you?" He looked around uneasily, but still couldn't see anyone.
There was no answer to the insect-like sound, the surroundings were quiet, and even the chirping of the cicadas on the branches disappeared.
Liao Chong asked a few more questions, but still no one responded. He shook his head and walked out in shock and doubt. He often listened to Shi Chong and Xie Xuan discussing the many mysterious legends of Egret Academy, such as the egret demon spirit and the ghost of female students.
Ah, could it be that I was hit by myself?
Seeing that he had passed the school, Liao Chong suddenly stopped and looked back. Under the cover of layers of branches and leaves, Fulu School revealed a corner of the white wall and red tiles.
His mind got hot, and he walked back as if by mistake, until he reached the west side of Fulu Academy.
The surroundings are lush with flowers and trees, and the birds are singing softly.
Liao Chong struggled for a moment and thought to himself: I'm just passing by and I won't do anything bad. I'll just listen outside and leave after listening. He lowered his waist and used the Nine Transformations of Divine Control technique, slowly mixed his breath, and tiptoed through.
Thick branches and leaves.
About ten feet away from the back window of the school, Liao Chong stopped, turned his ears in the direction of the school, and listened intently, but he heard nothing.
"When drawing talismans, the most important thing is to be sincere. When drawing talismans, you should use your own spirit as a guide, leading the essence of heaven and earth, and feeling the essence of sand and ink below. It is the so-called three essences in one..." Yi Jin was dressed in a simple and elegant green shirt, holding a dao in her left hand.
Volume, with the other hand behind the back, the voice is like a cool, gentle stream, flowing slowly.
The raccoon demon maid was curled up against the auspicious beast incense burner at the base of the wall, sleeping soundly, with glistening saliva flowing out and dripping on the scimitar at her waist.
The unique bluish-blue smoke of ten thousand-year-old agarwood floats faintly from the beast furnace. The fragrance is light and elegant for a long time, with a hint of honey, which makes people relax and calm down involuntarily.
In each of the four corners of the school, there is a Jade Talisman hanging with a closed sound, shining brightly, which tightly confines all kinds of sounds indoors to prevent the magic from leaking and being listened to by people outside.
A group of students from aristocratic families sat with their backs straight and concentrated, mixing cinnabar, angelica, red sandalwood and more than ten kinds of secret powders and fine wines until they all turned into paste-like ink and fully blended, then they lifted up the talisman pen and dipped it in
Apply talisman ink and write on the yellowed talisman paper.
Talisman is the core inheritance of Taoism. It is the essence of Taoism to interpret the various changes with paper, ink and pen. Many students have pre-recorded the ten Taoism sects of the Jin Dynasty, so everyone is focused on it. Even Xie Xuan,
Changed from the lazy look of the past, with focused eyes, long and peaceful breath, the essence, energy and spirit of the whole body are integrated into the Wutong Fenghao Talisman Pen between the fingers.
For a moment, colorful lights flashed in the school, reflecting auspiciousness.
The talisman pen in each student's hand is extraordinary. The pen barrel is shiny and colorful, and is made of thousand-year-old spiritual wood, spiritual bamboo, spiritual jade, tortoise shell and other precious materials. The brush filament is taken from the fetal hair of various exotic animals and birds.
Stimulated by the clear and turbid breath, each talisman pen immediately circulates with vitality, creating a gleaming brilliance.
The value of a talisman pen alone is not something that ordinary people from poor families can afford.
Zhi Shouzhen adjusted the ink for the talisman, but did not start drawing the talisman immediately. He just listened carefully to Yi Jin's explanation.
He is the direct descendant of a branch of the Wu clan. He has mastered witch talismans for a long time. He also obtained the alchemist talisman seeds in the Demon Hell Realm and accepted the inheritance of the alchemist talisman. One person combines the strengths of two families and can be regarded as a talisman master, but he is somewhat invisible.
Light, so never show it in front of others.
Nowadays, when he listens to the Taoist Talisman, it is like a high-level building, and everything comes naturally, and he understands it far more than other students.
Then, by comparing the Taoist Talismans with the Taishang Heart Mirror Annotations, I gained some insight into the essence of Taoism. Even the original witchcraft talismans and the Alchemist Talisman were similar, and there was a slight improvement. There seemed to be a subtle trend of merging with the Taoist Talismans. In the core of the soul, the eight-winged golden cicada suddenly let out a long and clear cry.
The chirping of cicadas sounded like joy, sorrow, misfortune, and blessing, but I couldn't figure it out for a while.
This is——? Zhikarizhen was shocked. With the perception of the wizard spirit, the talisman learning of the three families seemed to be related to his own future good and safety?
"Yuan An, why are you distracted?" Yi Jin's eyes turned around.
Their eyes met.
"Silly boy, there is a forbidden talisman inside. How could you hear it?" Outside the school, the strange sound of insects sounded again.
Liao Chong shivered again. He didn't dare to make a sound. He turned his eyes around until he saw the branches of the willow tree on the side, swaying in the breeze.
A green grasshopper hugged a thin willow leaf and stared at him, its round transparent eyes shining with a faint light.
