0006 Painting gods in the city
"Is there a fire in the academy?" Li Yu muttered and wanted to rush in, but was stopped by the two little guys at the door.
Seeing that his appearance seemed to be taken for granted, the Li Yu brothers and sisters calmed down and asked the little maid to inform him that they were looking for Old Master Lu.
After a while, an old man with a slight black smoke mark on his face walked out.
"Xiao Yu, it's here!"
"Yo, Xiaoyi is here too, I haven't seen her for a few years, and she's grown so tall!"
"Grandpa Lu, you haven't been to my house for three years!" Li Yi ran over coquettishly and hugged Old Master Lu's arm: "I want to eat Kung Pao chicken, boiling cabbage, vinegared potatoes and ......"
As he spoke, his saliva flowed.
Li Yu first bowed to his master quite formally, and then pulled his sister back to his side, telling her not to be so rude.
"Okay, good, grandpa will do it for you!" Old Master Lu was accustomed to this, he stroked his beard, smiled indulgently at Li Yi, and then turned to Li Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, it's really time for you to come." ”
As he spoke, he introduced Li Yu and the others into the small courtyard.
The courtyard is a larger school than Sensoshu Academy, and it is divided into dozens of classrooms.
Li Yu secretly looked at it, and in every classroom, there were children of different grades learning knowledge.
After a while, he arrived at the wing where Old Master Lu lived, and he took out some fennel beans at some point, handed them to Li Yi, and put her in the study.
Then, he beckoned again and summoned Li Yu to the corridor.
"Master, what is the matter?"
"Xiao Yu, have you put down your craft of painting gods recently?"
"Back to my master, if the villagers in Asakusa Town want to paint gods and door gods, most of them will come to me. ”
"That's good, that's good. The master smiled with satisfaction: "Our Mubian City was just a military camp on the front line of the war at first. ”
"Now that the barbarians have stopped the war first, and the kingdom has no intention of expanding eastward, the Grand Duke of Bauhinia wants to gradually strengthen the rule of the pastoral provinces. ”
"In addition to the fixed army guarding the barrier of the gods, in recent years, the Grand Duke has withdrawn nearly a million troops from Mubian City. ”
At the same time, more outsiders and temple apostles have been filled, and the gods believed in by the academy are not recognized by the six major temples, but the living space is getting smaller and smaller. ”
"Master can add the God of Knowledge to the system of the six gods. Li Yu pondered for a moment, and then said:
"Although the six great temples suppressed the new gods, they would not refuse to let their camp have one more powerful god. ”
"In my hometown, there is a saying in Daoist Province that knowledge is power. There will never be a weak person among the gods who are in charge of knowledge. ”
"Some of the students of the academy have served in the temple and have done such things. The master said, "But the god of knowledge is not like the new gods you painted, but a relatively old god. ”
"Moreover, it seems that there are festivals with the six major god systems, which is not compatible. ”
"There is also news from the county academy that there seems to be a god named Ogma in the God of War system, who has been competing with the God of Knowledge for power. ”
"How is this good?" Li Yu listened and analyzed it carefully, but did not find a solution.
"The presiding priests of the capital have found a way to expand the authority of the god of knowledge, as if to enrich the system of the god of knowledge by constantly filling it with new gods, and eventually form a complete god system that will compete with the six great temples. ”
"Recently, the college has been looking for a way to shape a new god, but it has not been smooth. The master said, wiping the ashes from his face: "When your brothers and sisters came, several masters of the academy were trying to create a 'god of the academy', but they were blocked from the first step, and the gods created by everyone could not be recognized by heaven and earth. ”
"Good thing you're here. ”
After listening to this, Li Yu roughly knew what it was, but he didn't want to paint gods in the city.
The words Netherton had told him made him understand that if his depiction of gods was discovered, he would be arrested by the Inquisition.
Most of the heretics caught by the Adjudication Division had only been burned to death, and Li Yu didn't want to follow in that footsteps.
But Old Master Lu had great kindness to their family, and he was in a dilemma for a while: "Master, since the creation of a new god cannot be successful, why don't you try to revive the old god?"
"It is rumored that the creator god left a lot of blank gods at the beginning of the creation of the world. After speaking, he immediately said: "The gods I painted before are also because I got a fragment of the "Records of the Gods of the Continent" when I was a child, and I have always carried it with me. ”
So saying, he took out a torn book from his bosom and handed it to his master.
Seeing this, the master didn't say anything more, put away the books, called Li Yi out of the room again, and took the two of them to the restaurant.
This book was prepared by Li Yu when he started to paint gods, and he felt that it was too unreasonable for children in the mountains and fields to draw gods, so he prepared such a way back.
But he didn't want to, and in the end, he used it to deal with the old master Lu who was kind to his family, and he felt a little reluctant for a while, and said: "If the master wants to find a painter, I can come over to help for a few days, and my father and mother will take care of me at home." ”
"That's very good!" the master didn't seem to notice the rejection in Li Yu's words, he flipped through the book Li Yu gave him, and said, "I read that the Froebel mentioned in the book is quite in line with the current situation of the academy. ”
"If you have time tomorrow, you can simply help the masters draw the statues of the gods in the academy. ”
"Hmm. Li Yu replied, thinking in his heart that Froebel was the father of enlightenment education, and his theory of game activities had influenced hundreds of millions of teenagers and children, but it had a lot to do with the function of the academy.
But said that Old Master Lu, after arranging things for Li Yu, he talked to Li Yi in detail about the key points of praying to the gods, Li Yu listened for a while, probably some things must be pure in heart, there can be no distractions, and the prepared robes and scepters should be in line with the gods prayed for, and so on.
Li Yu listened to some of it, but he didn't listen to it again, after all, if there was no accident, these things would not have anything to do with him in his life.
After dinner, Li Yu followed Master Lu to the academy to bathe and burn incense before painting the gods.
As for Li Yi, Li Yu gave her the order slip from O'Neill's clothing store and asked her to pick up the clothes by herself, and at the same time, he took her four gold coins and fifty silver coins, and asked him to pay the prayer fee, staff fee and god stone fee by himself when he went to the temple.
In the end, he gave her the key to the hotel room and told him to go to bed early.
After his sister left, Li Yu and his master entered the academy, but they came to a basement.
After taking a good bath, I smoked my body with wormwood, everything was ready, and I brought some spices and lit it, and calmed down.
Gradually, there was no more sound in this basement.
In the early morning of the second day, Li Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and several people who had settled down seemed to have some kind of induction in the dark, and they also opened their eyes at the same time.
"Can you draw a god?"
"That's it. Li Yu replied in a low voice.
