Chapter XXXVII
The next day, after Li Changding finished collecting the purple qi of the rising sun, he left the ancestral house of the Li family directly, and did not say hello to his parents, but came to the street and wandered around.
Yesterday's exchange with his grandfather in the car reminded Li Changding that he should have planned many things earlier.
In fact, after achieving the Fifth Order, Li Changding had a general plan for the future, and in the past year, he had also made some layouts in addition to enlightenment, cultivation, and alchemy, for the sake of his plan.
Originally, Li Changding planned to start implementing this plan in another year, but his grandfather Li Yunqi's words and the various difficulties he had encountered in his cultivation recently made him decide to start this plan in advance.
If you think about it, it's not too early to start this plan.
First of all, after a year of polishing and cultivating, he had stabilized his foundation, and even because of his innate physique advantage, he could already be regarded as a fifth-order intermediate, but he was not pure enough.
Then, the preliminary work of the plan has been almost done, and the time is ripe.
With a decision in his heart, Li Changding looked around, people came and went, listening to their words and conversations, it seemed that an art exhibition was being held in front of him.
With a move in his heart, Li Changding walked over and went inside to visit. Luckily, the exhibition was open and free, otherwise he might have missed it because he didn't have any money with him.
This exhibition is a public event organized by the local government, and the theme is naturally only one - Mid-Autumn Festival.
Li Changding walked into the museum, and there were already a lot of people inside, but most of them were quiet, looking at the paintings on the wall and watching them carefully.
Li Changding also calmed down, watching as he walked, watching the past one by one. Because it is a government-organized exhibition, it is not a personal exhibition of a single artist, so there are many paintings from many different painters, all of whom have different styles and concepts, but they all express the same theme.
The same Mid-Autumn Festival, in the eyes of different people, has different meanings, so through different brushes on different papers, now hanging on the wall for different people to enjoy, in Li Changding's view, is really a very interesting thing.
In many cases, a painting is not just a picture, it contains the thoughts and emotions of the painter at that time, and appreciating a painting is sometimes appreciating the emotions of the painter at that time, and in dialogue with the painter at that time, the scenery is very mysterious.
Of course, all this is premised on the fact that the painting is made by the painter with great care, and you also have that appreciation.
Looking at the paintings in front of him, Li Changding seemed to be admiring the painters, and through the traces they left on the paintings, he could see certain characteristics of their souls.
For example, in ancient times, when Confucius was learning "King Wen Cao", he touched King Wen of Zhou hundreds of years ago through qin music, even if it was only ideological and emotional.
Hey, this painting.
Li Changding suddenly stopped and carefully studied the painting in front of him.
This is a Chinese ink painting, the title of which is a poem: Raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadow becomes three people.
As a famous sentence of Tang Taizu in this world, many painters have interpreted it, but few works can vividly express its charm. Let's not mention Yang Xuanning's behavior of plagiarizing other people's poems, poems must be good poems, after all, they are masterpieces of poetry.
The Mid-Autumn Festival, which should be a time for family reunions, is the poet alone, drinking to the moon, which is a very lonely and desolate scene, but it is not easy for the painter to show a heroic and open-minded charm.
The work in front of me is a good expression of the heroic and open-mindedness in the poem.
However, this is not what caught Li Changding's attention, he focused on the spirituality contained in the lines of the paintings, which is a necessary condition for cultivating the way of talismans.
In the way of spells, God's will comes first.
Whether a talisman is effective or not, and whether the effect is powerful, the key is to see whether the spirituality contained in a talisman is sufficient. When monks draw talismans, they use materials such as cinnabar as ink, and at the same time cooperate with internal breath, the purpose of which is to maintain the spirituality of the talisman as much as possible.
Li Changding checked again and again and determined that there was no cinnabar and other sigil materials in the ink of this painting, and there was no trace of internal breath, just ordinary ink.
This is not simple, without auxiliary materials such as cinnabar, without moving the internal breath, it is necessary to make the simple lines contain spirituality, even a cultivator who has studied the way of the talisman for three or four years cannot do it.
Li Changding looked at the name of the painter - Mu Yun.
It's a pity that such a talent doesn't learn the way of talismans. Li Changding wrote down the name of the painter and deliberately pulled him into his plan.
After that, Li Changding looked at the other paintings in the exhibition, the quality was very good, and there were a few fine works, but he never encountered a painting like Mu Yun.
This is also normal, a talent like Mu Yun that even Li Changding has to praise, is definitely one in a million.
After leaving the exhibition, Li Changding made a phone call to his father Li Qingyu and asked him to help check this Mu Yun.
He had the heart to let Mu Yun join his plan, so he naturally had to have a comprehensive understanding of this person to see if he was really suitable.
Then Li Changding continued to go shopping and walking, walking east and west, aimlessly.
The streets here are very clean, there is almost no garbage to be seen, and the quality of the citizens is a far cry from that of the Celestial Empire of the previous world.
In the previous life, the quality of the citizens of the Celestial Empire could be said to be world-famous, albeit notorious.
Why is this happening? Li Changding believes that there are many reasons, one of which is that the punishment is not strict enough and the punishment is not severe enough.
Let's just talk about running a red light. What kind of person runs the red light the most? Pedestrians and battery cars, because for them, the traffic police do not arrest or punish. Why don't cars dare? Because most of the current intersections are equipped with probes, as long as you run a red light, you will be caught, and if you are caught, there will be fines and points deductions, and the fines are secondary, and the key is to deduct points. In contrast, there are countless cars that run yellow lights, as there are no points and fines for running yellow lights.
talked about the Celestial Empire, and then talked about Fusang, which is a strip of water with the Celestial Empire.
In contrast to the Celestial Empire, their nationals are known for their high quality. Many people think that it is the nature of the nation, and Li Changding does not know whether it is really the difference in the quality of the people of the two countries that is caused by the difference in national character, but he knows that there is a law called the "Misdemeanor Law" in the law of the island country, which has many provisions, and it is good to list a few points at will:
A person who cuts a queue in a public place is guilty of a misdemeanor offence.
Beggars and those who let others beg also violate the misdemeanor law.
Those who spit or defecate in public places, or who allow others to spit or urinate.
Then the Misdemeanors Act was enacted in 1948.
Although Li Changding never believes that a single law is the fundamental reason for the high quality of the people of the island countries, he feels that this law has certainly played its due role in the process of improving the quality of the people of the island countries.
Walking casually, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, the breeze blowing on the face, and in a happy mood, I casually found a bench and sat down.
"Piano, guqin, piano, guqin......" sat for a while, and suddenly there was such a series of crisp children's sounds in my ears.
In the blink of an eye, I saw a cute little girl, immature and cute, wearing a long dress with flowers on a white background, frowning, holding a white flower from nowhere, picking the petals, and chanting words in distress.
Li Changding felt interesting, and stepped forward and asked, "Little sister, what are you doing?" ”
"I'm choosing my homework." The little girl pouted cutely, and replied sullenly, her voice was sweet and crunchy, very good, "I'm eleven years old, my mother said that I can choose a hobby, which will be good for my future life, my mother wants to help me choose the piano, but my father said that it is better to play the guqin, and then they asked me what I want to choose?" ”
"And you don't know which one to choose, do you?" Li Changding said with a smile.
The little girl nodded cutely.
Looking at the little girl's confused eyes, Li Changding had an idea in his heart.
Next, Li Changding took the little girl to the piano shop, played a beautiful and pleasant piano music by himself, and asked, "Is it good?" ”
"Sounds good." The little girl nodded.
After that, Li Changding took her to the guqin shop again, and also played a guqin song to her, asking, "Is it good?" ”
"Sounds good."
"Have you decided to go for that?"
"It's decided, I'm going to learn piano." The little girl only hesitated for a moment before making a decision.
"Then go back and tell your mom and dad." Li Changding said with a smile, not asking why. Turnip greens have their own love, and it is unclear why they love this kind of thing.
"Big brother goodbye!" The little girl smiled goodbye.
"Goodbye." Li Changding looked at the little girl's distant figure, and then secretly followed, he really didn't feel at ease that a little girl was alone on the street.
Although the imperial society is stable and harmonious, and the crime rate is small, no matter how small the crime rate is, there are crimes, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents, so Li Changding followed the little girl all the way until she and her parents converged.
