Chapter 169 The Talisman

The black carriage driving on the official road was very fast, and the skull tree outside the window was about to be pulled into pure green color blocks. Ning Que looked at the scenery outside the window and felt a little complicated. He just saw a proud geese and a strange person in the back mountain of the academy. In a blink of an eye, another novel and mysterious world was about to kick off for him. He felt a little dazzled.

Ning Que had no more knowledge about the most mysterious fudao in the legend, except for watching a Taoist performing a trick outside the Taoist temple in Chang'an City, but he should have been cast in this car with fine steel. In the extremely heavy carriage, he vaguely felt that he was already in the world of Taoism - no matter how fast the carriage was, the people in the carriage could not feel the slightest bump, and the lonely one in front of the soft rope The clever horse doesn't know how to carry the weight of this.

Yan Se looked at the expression on his face and said, "You seem to be thinking about something."

Ning Que turned his head and looked at the dirty old Taoist priest. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "I was wondering what kind of talisman is engraved on this carriage that can actually reduce the weight, it is like magic. ."

He did not ask if there was a talisman engraved on the carriage, but directly asked what talisman was engraved. This answer made Master Yan Se quite satisfied, but the last word made him extremely unhappy. He frowned and said, "The talisman is Fu Dao, what are the connections with the Demon Sect?"

Ning Que subconsciously classified this magical method beyond daily experience into magic, and did not expect how harsh the word "demon" would be for the worship of the South Gate of Haotian Dao.

The gentle and happy hoof sound gradually slowed down, and the black carriage made of fine steel stopped on the official road in the southern suburbs of Chang'an City. Master Yan Se took Ning Que off the carriage. He glanced at Liting next to the official road not far away, and the thin poplar trees outside the pavilion, turned around and said to Ning Que, "Since you know there are talismans engraved on the car, try to feel it."

Ning Que was slightly stunned, walked to the carriage as he spoke, and looked at the black carriage board seriously. He looked at it carefully and confirmed that the cabin plate was indeed made of stainless steel, and the complex patterns were deeply engraved into the steel by a sharp blade, and then applied with a shiny outer paint, which made it look particularly beautiful Beautiful, but beautiful, it is a bit mysterious.

Those patterns are too complicated, so complex that they even violate the principles of aesthetics. After watching it for a long time, he didn't see anything strange from it. A judgment gradually emerged in his mind: the runes that really work should not be so complicated. Those lines that look like branches may be used to cover up. A trick to mix real runes.

He had read several books on talismans in the old bookstore, but those books were just introductions and had no objective understanding of the runes themselves. We should find the runes that can really work from such complex patterns. It is basically impossible to complete.

However, since Master Yan Se wants him to feel it, it should be an assessment.

After pondering for a moment, he slowly closed his eyes, raised his arms and gently brushed the talismans deep into the steel with his fingertips.

Suddenly his brows frowned.

When he opened his eyes to see, there was nothing unusual about the complex patterns on the carriage board. At this moment, when he closed his eyes and used his mind to control the energy of heaven and earth to sense it, he found that there was a layer of things vaguely on his fingertips— —The layer of things is very thin, like an invisible layer of membrane spaced between the fingers and the carriage board.

With a little thought, the film I felt disappeared instantly.

Ning Que was silent for a moment, entered the meditation state that he was best at, and began to use his mind to perceive the subtle changes in the vitality of heaven and earth. Sure enough, the invisible film appeared again between his fingers and the carriage board. This time, his preparation was more thorough and his perception was more delicate. He clearly felt that the film was flowing slowly.

Master Yan Se's voice rang in his ears: "What do you feel?"

Ning Que felt it seriously, and after a long silence, he answered seriously: "The flow of heaven and earth vitality is very light."

Master Yan Se continued to ask, "What kind of flow is it? What does it look like?"

Ning Que replied calmly: "It's like water, but lighter than water...it's empty, more like wind, but it can't be wind."

Master Yan Se looked at Ning Que next to the carriage, frowned slowly and asked, "Why can't it be the wind?"

Ning Que was silent for a moment and replied, "Because... the flow of energy on the rune is too regular, as if it is following a certain established route, as if it is in a complete system, and the wind is the flow of air , it shouldn't be so regular."

Master Yan Se's frowning brows gradually stretched out. Looking at Ning Que's back, a bright luster appeared in his eyes, as if he was approving and marveling, because Ning Que's performance at this moment was already far away. It exceeded his best imagination.

Ning Que left the carriage with his fingers. He turned around and looked at Yan Se and said unconfidently: "Master, I'm talking nonsense based on my feelings."

"It feels like it is the most important qualification for practicing the Tao of the Tao."

Master Yan Se gently stroked the sparse beard on his jaw, looking at him lovingly, his laughter was hoarse and weird, like an old farmer digging out antiques in his backyard: "You are very sensitive, even more like me." To be more sensitive, I like it very much."

Ning Que didn't know how to answer.

"The flow of the heaven and earth energy you feel is the smell of wind, because I painted the wind talisman on the carriage."

Master Yan Se looked at him and said, "As for why the wind walks according to the established route and why it is so regular, in your words... in a complete system. The reason is very simple, because the symbol defines the direction for it."

"Come with me."

Master Yan Se gently brushed his sleeves, and slowly walked towards the poplar tree in Liting beside the road with his hands behind him.

Ning Que walked to the horse in front of the car, looked at its big black eyes and said with a smile: "You must be the most comfortable horse in the world."

The horse gently sniffed, lowered its head and chewed the hay in its bag, expressing its approval of this statement with silence.

Ning Que looked at Master Yan Se's back and accelerated his pace to follow.

...

...

Master Yan Se sat cross-legged in the center of Li Pavilion, and there was a small charcoal stove and tea set next to him. Ning Que walked into the pavilion and saw that the master was about to cook tea with his own hands. He quickly stepped forward and snatched the errand. Although this master of the divine talisman cried and shouted that day that he wanted to accept himself as his disciple, he would never be so arrogant that he missed this opportunity to serve the teacher to please him.

The water boils and the tea fragrance gradually rises. Master Yan Se looked at Ning Que, who was quietly dividing tea, nodded in appreciation, and tapped the tea tray with his index finger, signaling him to sit down, and said, "There are many methods of practice, including the so-called swordsmanship, physical arts, arrays, like Our ability to draw talismans is generally called talisman art, but we don't call it that ourselves, we call it talisman Tao."

Ning Que placed the teacup respectfully in front of the master, sat upright and listened carefully.

Master Yan Se picked up the teacup and sipped it gently, and asked, "Do you know what Fudao means?"

Ning Que pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "Use talismans to enter the Tao?"

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Master Yan Se laughed out loud, looked at him and shook his head repeatedly, and said, "Everyone wants to seek the Tao to enter the Tao. Use a sword to enter the Tao to kill the Tao and emotions to enter the Tao. Even the Xiling Temple cannot escape this kind of thinking mode, let alone It's you? But what about the great way of the ants country in the secular world? The highest way is illusory, how can you find it? The meaning of the word "xinxin" is actually very simple, that is, use "xinxinxin" to "xinxinxin"."

Use a talisman to tell it? Ning Que thought about what this meant, but he couldn't figure it out.

"What is a talisman? A talisman is a pattern, a line, and a trace."

Master Yan Se gradually curled his smile, looked at him seriously and said, "The trajectory of the snake crawling through the sand pile is a talisman, the veins between the dead leaves are talisman, the ruts left on the mud on the road are talisman, and the blood vessels in the wild beasts are talisman , the trajectory of water flow is a symbol, the traces of the wind blowing are a symbol, the talisman on the cracked gaps of the earth, and the clouds in the blue sky are also a symbol."

The very simple words and the very clear words were made. Ning Que was shocked and speechless when he heard it. He couldn't speak for a long time. According to Master Yan Se, all traces in the world were talismans. This concept has completely exceeded his thinking realm!

After a long silence, he asked blankly: "Master, is the talisman painting all the traces in nature?"

Master Yan Se was slightly stunned, looked at him and said with a funny look, "That's a painter, not a talisman master."

...

...

A few green leaves were blown down to the branches by the wind beside the official road. Before they could fall into the slightly wet fields, they were blown up by a gust of wind, gently floating above Li Pavilion, falling on those washed away by the rain. There were a few light bangs on the tiles.

"The blood vessels in the wild beasts are talismans, and this talisman can only maintain their survival; the traces of water flow are talismans, and this talisman can only make them move from high to low according to Haotian's will; the veins between the dead leaves are talismans , this kind of charm can only allow them to infuse the nutrient water absorbed from the roots into the leaves like they have done for billions of years."

Master Yan Se said calmly: "These talismans are all natural talismans, born in nature, withered in nature, and coexist with the vitality of heaven and earth, just like the principle that each of us lives in this world."

"However, whether humans practice or study the Tao of Talismanship, they have exceeded the original mission of human beings in heaven and earth, that is, they have exceeded the needs of survival. Therefore, the Tao of Talismanship in the true sense must come from nature, but must be higher than nature."

Ning Que listened silently, and he felt that although the master's story was about talismans, it contained many great truths.

Master Yan Se drank all the remaining tea in the cup and continued to say, "The talisman that comes from nature but is higher than nature must go through several processes: copying, understanding, summarizing, simplifying, purifying, and giving interest. The so-called talisman, It is the lines and traces that humans have learned from natural talismans for countless years. "

Ning Que filled the teacup for the Master, sat back to the place and asked, "What is Tao?"

"The Tao means knowing."

"Let who know?"

"Let the heaven and earth vital energy know."

Ning Que was stunned and asked in confusion: "What do you want the heaven and earth to know?"

Master Yan Se looked at him with a smile and said, "Let the heaven and earth vital energy know what we want to do?"

"All the means of human cultivation are inseparable from controlling the vital energy of heaven and earth. Sword technique uses the power of mind to control the vital energy of heaven and earth to remotely control the flying sword, which is ultimately too indirect. Although Master Nian directly controls the vital energy of heaven and earth to attack the enemy, it is too simple after all, and can only attack the opponent's sea of ​​consciousness. ."

"Only the two are between the two, the realm is higher than the two, because the ultimate goal pursued by the Tao is to tell the heaven and earth what the heaven and earth want to do, and then the heaven and earth vital energy will help you do what."

"The heaven and earth have no eyes and ears. It will never know what strange ideas you have in your sea of ​​consciousness. It will even less likely know that you want to condense rain into millions of sharp and invisible swords. So how can you make it Do you know what you mean?"

"The talisman is the bridge between human mind power and the essence of heaven and earth. Master Fu uses his mind power to condense the essence of heaven and earth in these lines and traces. Once it is stimulated, it will cause the wind to rise, water to move, clouds to produce clouds and death. The weather is dry and the things are dry."

Ning Que vaguely captured the key to the problem.

Master Yan Se looked at his face and asked, "You seem to understand something."

"I heard a friend say before that the snow-capped mountains and seas in human bodies are like musical instruments, and their mind power is air. Only by blowing the instrument into a beautiful music, can the energy of heaven and earth be heard and resonate with it."

Ning Que looked at Master Yan Se and said, "Listen to the master's previous explanation, I think since Fu Dao uses runes to tell the heaven and earth what he wants to do, can he say that runes are equivalent to the Qihai Snow Mountain in our body?"

"Your friend has a very high level and his statement is wonderful."

Master Yan Se smiled and said, "Of course you can teach me too. There are too few tricks in your body that can open the Qi and Sea of ​​Snow Mountain in your body. It is very troublesome whether you practice swordsmanship or anything else, but the talismans are different. As long as you can sense the vitality of heaven and earth, you can If you observe the subtle differences between them, use runes to resonate with them, you will be successful."

Ning Que asked in confusion: "Since Master Fu has been learning to record natural talismans for thousands of years, is there no ready-made runes? If there are current runes, wouldn't it be possible to cultivate talismans without sensing the fluctuations of the heaven and earth's vitality? road?"

Master Yan Se laughed, stroked his beard and asked, "Are there two exactly the same leaves in the world?"

Ning Que thought if you were asking about eggs, I really would doubt whether I was Da Vinci, and answered, "No."

"Is there any possibility that two people who are exactly the same in the world?"

"Of course it's impossible."

"Since that's the case, you can't be me, and your mind power cannot be the same as mine. Then why can you tell by writing a completely identical talisman that the heaven and earth's vitality know that it means the same?"

Ning Que didn't understand at all.

Master Yan Se looked at him and said calmly: "For Master Fu, our mental power is like countless different vocabulary words. The so-called vocabulary is the combination of these vocabulary words. The problem is that I am a Chang'an native who speaks official language, and you are For the Nanhai Fan people who speak Huo Lu language, we stuff their own words into the same combination method, and it is absolutely impossible to be the same article."

"There may be only dozens of languages ​​in the world, but the mind power of each talisman master is a completely different language. I have written a 46 great fu, and the vitality of heaven and earth can hear the passionate words in it. You also do one The four or six great fu, but the heaven and earth energy was at a loss and thought why this guy didn't agree with the last words, what exactly did he want to say? "

Ning Que understood and bowed deeply to Master Yan Se, and was very grateful.

(My previous novels have settings, but the worldview is very rough. If you can, you can hide, you can hide. I have never avoided this book from the beginning. I think this approach is really courageous and fierce, and I firmly believe that this false world can be justified.

I know that many people don't like to see me narcissistic and verbose, so don't look at it, I can't suppress my pride. In addition to the few days of self-doubt every month, most of my life, I have always felt that I was very awesome in writing novels and making stories. I don't like to secretly cast my pearls. Since it is such a bright white pig. , I am very afraid that you will not see my whiteness and my fatness, and I am afraid that you will not see my goodness, so I can't help but pop out and remind you that my greatness is often.

Finally, I will flatter you. You love to read the stories compiled by the novels I wrote, which shows that your appreciation ability is also amazing. Good night. )
