Nightfall Chapter 171: Taozhi by Fu
Volume One, Chapter 171 of the Empire in the Early Morning, with Talismans
The black carriage on the official road is fast, and the Chunshu Qingtian outside the window is about to be pulled into pure green patches. Looking at the scenery outside the window, Ning Que felt a little complicated. He just saw proud geese and strange people in the back hill of the academy. In a blink of an eye, a new and mysterious world was about to kick off the curtain on him. It was a bit dizzying.
For the most mysterious Fudao in the legend, apart from watching a certain old Taoist perform a trick, he burned Zhang Fu in a Taoist temple in Chang'an. Ning Que didn’t know more about it, but the car was made of stainless steel. In the casting that should have been extremely heavy, he vaguely felt that he was already in the world of Fudao-no matter how fast the carriage was, the people in the carriage could not feel the slightest turbulence, and the soft cable ahead The lonely steed didn't know how to carry so much weight.
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. He hesitated for a while and asked: "I was thinking, what kind of symbol is engraved on this carriage that can actually reduce the weight, it's like It’s like magic."
He didn't ask whether the carriage was engraved with amulet, but directly asked what amulet was engraved. This answer made Master Yan Se quite satisfied, but the last word made him extremely unhappy, frowning and said: "Talisman Dao is Fu Dao, what does it have to do with Mozong?"
Ning Que just subconsciously classified this magical method that is beyond daily experience into magic, and never thought of how harsh this magic word is for the worship of the South Gate of Haotian Dao.
The soft and cheerful hooves gradually slowed down, and the black carriage made of stainless steel stopped on the official road in the southern suburbs of Chang'an City. Master Yan Se took Ning Que out of the carriage. He glanced at the Liting Pavilion near the official road and the thin poplar trees outside the pavilion. He turned around and said to Ning Que: "Since you know that the car is engraved with amulet, try to feel it."
Ning Que was startled slightly, Yiyan walked to the carriage and looked at the black carriage board earnestly. He looked carefully, confirming that the box board was indeed made of stainless steel, and the complicated patterns were deeply penetrated into the steel by a certain kind of sharp blade, and then painted with a shimmering exterior paint, which made it look exceptional Beautiful, beautiful but also a bit mysterious.
Those patterns are too complicated, so complicated that they even violate the principles of aesthetics. He watched it for a long time and didn't see any strangeness, and he gradually developed a judgment in his mind: the rune patterns that really work should not be so complicated. Those lines that look like branches and are complicated may be used to cover up. A blindfold with real runes.
He has read a few books on runes in the old days, but those books are only introductions, and there is no objective understanding of runes themselves. It is necessary to find the ones that can really work from such complicated patterns. Wen is basically an impossible task.
However, since Master Yan Se wants him to feel it, it should be a kind of assessment.
After a moment of contemplation, he slowly closed his eyes, raised his arm and gently brushed the deep-steel charms with his fingertips.
Suddenly, his brows frowned.
Previously, when he opened his eyes and looked at it, there was nothing unusual about the intricate patterns on the deck of the car. At this moment, when he closed his eyes and manipulated the vitality of the heavens and earth to perceive with his mind, he found that his fingertips were faintly extra. Layers of things-that layer of things is very thin, like an invisible film between the fingers and the car board.
For a moment, the film that I felt disappeared instantly.
Ning Que was silent for a moment, entered the meditation state he was best at, and started to perceive the subtlest changes in the vitality of the heavens and the earth with his mind power again. As expected, that invisible film reappeared between his fingers and the car board. This time he was more fully prepared and more delicate in his perception, and 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 earnestly: "Very weak heaven and earth vitality flow."
Master Yan Se continued to ask: "What kind of flow? What is it like?"
Ning Que replied calmly: "Like water, but lighter than water... more empty, more like wind, but it cannot be wind."
Master Yan Se looked at Ning Que beside 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 the elemental flow on the runes is too regular, as if following a certain established route, like in a complete system, and the wind is The flow of air should not be so regular."
Master Yan Se's frowning eyebrows gradually unfolded, looking at Ning Que’s back, his eyes glowed brightly, seeming to applaud and seem to marvel, because Ning Que’s performance at this moment, It was far beyond his best imagination.
Ning Que left the car with his fingers. He looked back at Yan Se and said unconfidently: "Master, I just said nonsense based on feeling."
"It feels that it is the most important aptitude for practicing Talisman Tao."
Master Yan Se gently stroked the thin beard on his chin, looked at him lovingly, laughed hoarse and weird, like an old farmer who dug a cellar in his backyard to dig out antiques: "You are more sensitive than me The similar ones are more sensitive, I like them very much."
Ning Que didn't know how to answer.
"The flow of the heaven and earth elements you feel is the smell of wind, because I painted wind symbols on the carriage."
Master Yan Se looked at him and said: "As for why the wind walks along the established route and why it is so regular, in your words...in a complete system. The reason is simple, because the symbol sets the direction for it. ."
"Come with me."
Master Yan Se flicked his sleeves and walked slowly towards the Liting poplar beside the road.
Ning Que walked to the horse in front of the car, looked at it with **** eyes and smiled and said, "You must be the most comfortable horse in the world."
The horse sprayed its nose gently, lowered its head to chew the hay in the bag, and agreed with the statement in silence.
Ning Que looked at Master Yan Se's back, speeding up his steps and following.
……
……
Master Yan Se sat cross-legged in the middle of the pavilion, and a small charcoal stove and tea set appeared beside him. Ning Que walked into the pavilion and saw that the master was preparing to cook tea by himself, and quickly stepped forward to grab the job. Although it was this rune master crying that he wanted to accept himself as a disciple that day, he would never be so arrogant that he would miss this opportunity to serve the teacher to please his heart.
The fragrance of the water boiling and the tea gradually rose. Master Yan Se looked at Ning Que, who was quietly dividing the tea, nodded in appreciation, tapped his index finger on the tea tray, motioned him to sit down, and said: "There are many ways to practice. There are so-called swordsmanship formations. Shushu, like our ability to draw amulets, is generally called amulets, but we don’t call it that way. We call it Fudao."
Ning Que placed the teacup respectfully in front of the master, and sat in jeopardy and listened carefully.
Master Yan Se picked up the teacup and sipped gently, and asked, "Do you know what Fudao means?"
Ning Que tentatively asked after pondering for a moment: "Enter the Tao with a symbol?"
"Hahahaha..."
Master Yan Se laughed out loud, looked at him and shook his head again and again, and said: "Everyone wants to enter the Tao, use the sword to enter the Tao to break into the Tao and the love into the Tao, even Xiling Temple cannot escape this kind of thinking mode. , Let alone you? It's just the mundane ant country road? The highest road is illusory, how to find it? The meaning of the word "Fu Dao" is actually very simple, that is, it is "Fu Dao"."
Tao of talisman? Ning Que wondered what this meant, but couldn't figure it out.
"What is a symbol? A symbol is a pattern, a line, and a trace."
Master Yan Se gradually constricted a smile, looked at him seriously, and said: "The track of a snake crawling across the sand is a talisman, the veins between the dead leaves are a talisman, and the ruts left on the muddy ground of the road are talisman. The blood vessel is a symbol, the trajectory of the water flow is a symbol, the flow mark of the wind is a symbol, the crack on the ground is a symbol, and the cloud in the blue sky is also a symbol."
In very simple words, very clear words, Ning Que was shocked and speechless, and could not speak for a long time. According to Master Yan Se, all traces in the world are signs. This concept has completely exceeded his thinking. realm!
After a long period of silence, he asked in a daze, "Master, is it possible that painting symbols simulate all traces in nature?"
Master Yan Se was taken aback for a moment, looked at him amused, and said, "That's a painter, not a talisman."
……
……
A few green leaves were blown off the branches by the wind beside the official road. Before they fell into the wet field, they were blown up by a gust of wind, gently curled up above the pavilion, and landed on those affected by the rain. Washed onto the dim tiles, making a few light cracks.
"The blood vessels in the beasts are talisman, this talisman can only maintain their survival; the traces of water flow are talisman, this talisman can only make them go from high to low according to Haotian's will; among the dead leaves Veins are symbols. This kind of symbols can only allow them to pour the nutrient water absorbed by the roots into the leaves as they have done for hundreds of millions of years."
Master Yan Se said calmly: "These symbols are all natural symbols, born in nature, withered in nature, and coexisting with the vitality of heaven and earth, just like the truth in this world in each of our lives."
"However, whether human beings practice or study the Tao of Talisman, it has exceeded the original mission of man in the world, that is to say, beyond the need for survival. Therefore, the true sense of Talisman must be derived from nature, but it must be higher than Naturally."
Ning Que listened silently, faintly feeling that although the master's remarks were talking about Fu Dao, it contained a lot of great truths.
Master Yan Se drank all the remaining tea in the cup and watched him continue to say: "A symbol that comes from nature but is higher than nature requires several processes: copying, understanding, summarizing, simplifying, purifying, and adding interest. The so-called runes are those traces of lines that humans have learned and extracted the essence from the runes of nature for countless years."
Ning Que filled the teacup for Master and sat back to ask for advice: "Then what is Tao?"
"The way is to know."
"Let who know?"
"Let the world's vitality know."
Ning Que was stunned, and asked puzzledly: "What does the vitality of heaven and earth know?"
Master Yan Se smiled and looked at him and said: "Let Tiandi Qiqi know what we want to do?"
"All the means of human cultivation are inseparable from manipulating the vitality of the heavens and the earth. Swordsmanship uses the power of mind to control the vitality of the heavens and the earth remotely. The other side knows the sea."
"Only between the two places of Talisman, the realm is higher than the two, because the ultimate goal pursued by Talisman is to tell Tiandi Yuanqi what he wants to do, and then Tiandi Yuanqi will help you do it. What."
"The vitality of heaven and earth has no eyes and no ears. It will never know what weird ideas are in your sea of consciousness, and it will never know that you want to condense the rain into thousands of sharp invisible knives, so how do you Can it know what you mean?"
"The talisman is the bridge between the human mind and the vitality of the heavens and the earth. The master of the talisman condenses the vitality of the heavens and the earth within the traces of these lines with the power of the mind. Birth of the clouds, extinction of the sky and dryness."
Ning Que vaguely caught the key to the problem.
Master Yan Se looked at the expression on his face and asked: "You seem to understand something."
"I’ve heard a friend say before that the snow-capped mountains and air inside the human body are like a musical instrument, and the power of mind is the air. You can only blow into the musical instrument and turn it into beautiful music. Resonance."
Ning Que looked at Master Yan Se and said, "Listening to Master's previous explanation, I think that since Fu Dao uses runes to tell Tiandi Yuanqi what he wants to do, can it be said that runes are equivalent to the sea of air in our body? Snow mountain?"
"That friend of yours has a very high realm, and it's a wonderful statement."
Master Yan Se smiled and said, "Of course you can teach you. You have too little knowledge of the snow-capped mountains, air and sea. It is very troublesome whether you practice swordsmanship or other things, but the talisman is different, as long as you can perceive the world. If you can perceive the nuances of your vitality, you can use runes to describe it and resonate with it to succeed."
Ning Que was puzzled and asked: "Since the talisman has been learning to record the talisman of nature for thousands of years, is there no rune ready? If there is the current rune, wouldn't it be unnecessary to perceive the fluctuation of the vitality of the world? Can you meditate?"
Master Yan Se laughed, stroked his beard lightly and asked: "Can there be two identical leaves in the world?"
Ning Que thought that if you asked about eggs, I would really doubt if I was Da Vinci, and replied: "No."
"Is it possible that there will be two identical people in the world?"
"Of course it is impossible."
"In this case, you can't be me, and your thought power can't be the same as mine. Then why write exactly the same talisman so that Heaven and Earth Energy can know that it means the same?"
Ning Que didn't understand at all.
Master Yan Se looked at him calmly and said: "For the Thu Master, our thought power is like countless different words and words. The so-called Fu is the combination of these words and words. The problem is that I am a Chang'an who speaks Mandarin. , You are a native of Nanhai who speaks Huolu. We put our vocabulary into the same combination, it is absolutely impossible to be the same article."
"There may be only dozens of languages in the world, but the power of the mind of each talisman is a completely different language. I made a four or six great fuss. The vitality of the world can hear the impassioned words. You also I did a four or six big fuss, but the Tiandi Yuanqi Lanju was at a loss. I wondered why this servant didn’t follow the preface and what he wanted to say?"
Ning Que understood, and bowed to Master Yan Se deeply, grateful.

(My previous novels have settings, but the worldview is very rough. If you can hide, I will hide. I haven't avoided this from the beginning. I think this approach is really courageous. , Very vigorous, and I firmly believe that this vain world can justify itself.
Like today’s chapter, maybe it’s only four thousand words in your opinion, but such four thousand words is much harder to write than 10,000 words when I was climbing. I am proud of writing it.
I know that many people don't like to watch my narcissism and narcissism, so don't look at it, I can't suppress my pride. Except for a few days of self-doubt every month, for most of my life, I have always felt that I am very good at writing novels and storytelling. I don’t like Mingzhu Cantou, since it is such a bright big white pig. , I am 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 from time to time to remind you of my greatness.
Finally slap your flattery. You love to read the stories I wrote in the novel, which shows that your appreciation ability is also very remarkable. Good night. )
