Chapter 46: A Leaf Knows Autumn and a Leaf Blinds
The mother-in-law's determination was a big surprise to Wansheng and Xiaozhuo. But think about it, every year on the Midyear Festival, Wansheng only saw the wandering spirits and wild ghosts on the streets, and he didn't see the ancestors go home for reunion. Either the ancestor has also become a wandering soul and a wild ghost, or he has been detained by the ghost king and suffered in the underworld or even has been killed, so what is the use of this vacant spirit card?
So after the mother-in-law and Wan Sheng solemnly kowtowed three heads in front of the spiritual position, the mother-in-law solemnly took off the spirit card of the grandfather and handed it to Wan Sheng, and said: "Child, it is not that the mother-in-law is ridiculous enough to support you to use the spirit card of the ancestors to take advantage of tricks, but to support your extraordinary behavior of not conformism. ”
Wan Sheng took the spirit card and said solemnly: "Mother-in-law, I know, I must be attentive!"
Xiao Zhuo also said solemnly: "The old lady's open-mindedness and determination are admirable, but with your cultivation in the Yang world, it is impossible to find another way, and you can only use the soul in the underworld to study." And this spirit card has been bathing in incense for many years, as long as the charm is engraved is also a waste magic weapon, it can also be brought into a dream, which is why I propose to use the spirit card, as for whether it can succeed depends on the creation. ”
Wan Sheng nodded: "I understand, then I'll start carving the talisman!"
The mother-in-law also smiled: "Although I can't hear what Miss Xiaozhuo is saying, but it is in the sky to make things happen, you don't have to be so stressed, if you can't do it, you can learn the brush slowly, and you are so old that you have begun to mix with the yamen, and it is time to learn to write." ”
Wan Sheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Got it!"
So, Wan Sheng sat solemnly at the table, lit two oil lamps, took out the ghost killing spell of Niu Dao Chang and put it on the table to smooth it, opened a box of cinnabar on credit, and then used an embroidery needle to dip cinnabar on the back of the spirit card to stab one by one, and at the same time kept reciting the mantra of purifying the mouth learned today.
Xiao Zhuo did smile and said, "Do you know what you mean?"
Wan Sheng smiled bitterly: "I just don't know what it means, Niu Dao Chang explained for a long time, and the more I listened, the more confused I became." ”
Xiao Zhuo laughed: "That is, the little Taoist priest has no intention of chanting the scriptures, so it is better not to recite the stabbing of the central god, so as not to be distracted and carve the talisman wrong." ”
Wan Sheng was surprised: "Can you not chant the mantra?"
Xiao Zhuo said in a deep voice: "What is the use of a spell? True spells can't be expressed in these far-fetched and obscure mortal words, for example, when I cast the Earth Shrinking Technique, my sea of consciousness will——"
Speaking of this, Xiao Zhuo smiled bitterly: "I can't describe it in words, this is really not something that can be taught with mouth words, if you are smart enough, you will naturally understand, but if you are not smart enough-well, have you heard of the story of a blind man touching an elephant?"
Wan Sheng was surprised: "The blind man touches the elephant? You know, a few blind people have never seen an elephant, and those who touch the elephant's legs say that the elephant is pillar-shaped, and those who touch the tail say that the elephant is like a snake, those who touch the ears say that the elephant is like a meat fan, and those who touch the elephant's body say that the elephant is like a wall." ”
Xiao Zhuo Zhengse said: "The true spell is the elephant, and the mortal is blind in front of it, and the so-called talisman spell is just the most understandable side that the elephant shows to the blind, and it is also the most one-sided and superficial side." The wise can get a glimpse of the whole leopard, and their cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds. And the stupid person is indeed a blind man touching an elephant, and he knows it but does not know why it is a conformist form, and this bull Taoist priest is obviously the latter!"
Wan Sheng was shocked: "Take a peek and see the whole leopard?"
The mother-in-law was surprised: "This is what Miss Xiao Zhuo said?"
Wan Sheng said blankly: "What do you mean?
Xiao Zhuo laughed: "It's really difficult to have no culture!"
Wan Sheng blushed: "Those monsters who cultivate in the wild are not educated, aren't they enlightened?"
Xiao Zhuo sighed: "Compared with mortals, monsters have the innate advantage of being strong and strong, but they have suffered the loss of no culture, otherwise they will spend hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation? Do you know that there is a lion camel country in the demon world? ”
Wan Sheng was surprised: "One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers!
The mother-in-law smiled and said, "Child, do you still want to listen to the allusions of the leopard in the tube?"
Xiao Zhuo also smiled: "Yes, what about your good intentions?"
Wan Sheng held the spirit card and cried with a sad face: "Grandpa punish me!"
So, when the mother-in-law explained the allusion of the idiom, Wan Sheng suddenly realized: "It turned out that I knew what the whole leopard looked like by seeing a spot in the bamboo pipe." ”
The mother-in-law smiled: "There are idioms with the same meaning, you should understand the autumn when you see a falling leaf." ”
Wan Sheng smiled: "I understand, I understand, then I will strive to peep at the leopard in the tube, and I will know the autumn in one leaf!"
Xiao Zhuo was suddenly taken aback: "A leaf knows autumn? The old lady is reasonable, using a blind man to touch an elephant and a leopard in a tube cannot describe the spell, after all, the leopard and the elephant still have a specific image, and the reason why the spell cannot be described is because the spell has no image and cannot be described like autumn! It is a form of power, a dynamic thing that can only be understood and cannot be spoken, and the so-called talisman spell is just a fallen leaf! The cultivation of the cow Taoist priest is also a leaf that cannot be seen Mount Tai. ”
Wan Sheng realized: "One leaf knows the autumn! One leaf obstructs the eyes! Spells are dynamic, indescribable forms of power operation?"
The mother-in-law was surprised, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Zhuo said with a smile: "Tell the old lady that there must be my teacher in the threesome, and even I feel enlightened." ”
After listening to Wan Sheng's announcement, her mother-in-law also laughed: "This really makes the old woman embarrassed, how can my wife be embarrassed in front of Miss Xiao Zhuo——"
Speaking of this, the mother-in-law was suddenly stunned, and the laughter stopped abruptly!
Wan Sheng was stunned: "Mother-in-law, what's wrong?"
The mother-in-law suddenly came back to her senses: "Do you remember the story of the "Huang Ting Jing" that I told you at that time, which was copied by the sage Wang Xizhi?"
Wan Sheng nodded: "I know, my mother-in-law said that the words in that scripture can be moved, as long as anyone gets this book, they will cultivate by leaps and bounds and quickly become immortals, and the emperor of the Sui Dynasty usurped the rivers and mountains of the Northern Zhou Dynasty for this book, and killed the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty or didn't find this book." ”
The mother-in-law said: "Now I finally understand why the words in that book can be moved! The scripture is a leaf, and the reason why it can move is because the autumn wind blows, and this autumn wind is the understanding of the scriptures poured into the book saint, this should be the dynamic operation form of the power that Miss Xiao Zhuo said, right?"
Xiao Zhuo was overjoyed: "It turns out that the old lady still knows so much! Probably like this, static scripture spells can't describe spells, but just look at them!"
Wan Sheng suddenly realized: "That is, as long as I regard dead words as living words?"
The mother-in-law smiled with relief: "It must be so, if only the old woman could comprehend it decades earlier! ”
Xiao Zhuo smiled: "It's been explained for a long time, you should also carve out this leaf quickly, right?"
Wan Sheng was full of energy: "Understood!"
