Chapter 43 The Mystery and the Mystery Sutra
All day, Lin Yuanzheng stayed in his room, neither going to the Jiangdong Inn to work, nor going to the street to check the news. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
What?
Study that "Xuanzhi and Xuanjing".
Obviously, Ge Zhenren's so-called "Xuanzhi and Xuanjing", which was summarized by years of painstaking study and countless efforts, just copied some sentences from the "Tao Te Ching".
Word for word.
There is not a single original word or word.
Is this the result of "years of hard work"?
Just a few thin pieces of paper will sell for ten taels of silver? Or is it just the cost price?
Is there a sense of déjà vu in the world's articles!
Of course, there are still differences between the two.
- For example, the Tao Te Ching has more than 5,000 words, while the words of the "Xuanzhi and Xuanjing" from head to toe add up to just over 1,000.
- For another example, the author of "Tao Te Ching" is Lao Tzu, and the author of "Xuanzhi and Xuanjing" is signed by Ge Siyuan, and it is also specially noted that "exclusive research results, printing and copying without permission are regarded as piracy, and they must be held responsible" Yunyun.
- For another example, the "Tao Te Ching" expounds the author's worldview, values and outlook on life throughout the text, while the text of the "Xuanzhi and Xuanjing" has some small text annotations, which are nondescript, and can be summed up as: different permutations and combinations of five words.
What are the five words?
Palace, Shang, Horn, Sign, Feather.
Of course, Lin Yuanzheng knew that these five words were the ancient musical scales, and they were of the same nature as the seven-note DoReMiFaSoLaSiDo in the West. But the problem is that he doesn't know music, and he doesn't know sheet music.
I don't understand which scale each of the Gongshang Horns and Feathers represents, and how to sing it.
And it's not just about understanding scales. In "Xuanzhi and Xuanjing", there are several words corresponding to a musical scale, and some words correspond to several musical scales.
There's also the difference between treble and bass.
Damn, my head is going to explode!
Lin Yuanzheng can almost write down a "Xuanzhi and Xuanjing" silently with his eyes closed, but the profound connotation in it is completely incomprehensible!
Do you want to go back and ask Ge Siyuan about that dead bull-nosed Taoist priest?
Alas, forget it.
That dead Taoist priest is not only greedy for a cup of good wine, but also quite good at accumulating money. There is only a little silver left on him, and I'm afraid it's not enough for him to stuff his teeth.
It is better to ask for others than for yourself.
Figure it out for yourself.
"It's a good way, it's a very good way. The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth; Famous, Mother of All Things......"
Lin Yuanzheng began to recall the tone and intonation of Ge Siyuan when he read this text yesterday, Ge Siyuan's tone at that time was very strange, not so much reciting this text as chanting this text. The pitch is sometimes high, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low-pitched.
"It's a good way, it's a very good way. The name is famous, and the name is very ......."
Lin Yuanzheng began to imitate that weird tone, read it a few times, and there was no reaction at all around him, neither thunder, nor flashing, and even he was amused by his weird voice. However, although there was no reaction, Lin Yuanzheng was still unwilling to give up.
"It's a good way, it's a very good way. The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth; Famous, Mother of All Things......"
"It's a good way, it's a very good way. The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth; Famous, Mother of All Things......"
"It's a good way, it's a very good way. The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth; Famous, Mother of All Things......"
………………
I have read it no less than a thousand and one times, and every word has tried various tones, various intonations, and various positions. However, there was no sense of air and clouds in the vicinity.
Lin Yuanzheng's mouth was so dry that he grabbed the bowl on the table and drank the water in one gulp. The plain well water inlet feels sweet and clear at this time, and it is better than any elixir and jade liquid.
A bowl of underwater belly, Lin Yuanzheng suddenly rushed up with a ball of fire in his stomach, couldn't help but let go of his voice, and desperately used his strength to drink milk and shouted loudly-
"The Tao is very Tao, the name is very famous, the beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, and the mother of all things!"
As soon as the words fell, the air next to him seemed to vibrate faintly, and the originally formless and massless airflow seemed to slowly condense into a small cloud of air, which could be faintly seen.
"Quack—"
The tiny cloud emitted a spark, like a match struck in the night, and soon disappeared again.
Is this thunder or lightning?
It doesn't matter.
This short moment of lightning and flint made Lin Yuanzheng, whose heart had sunk to the bottom of the endless abyss, see a glimmer of hope again. So he tore his voice away again, and roared vigorously—
"The Tao is very Tao, the name is very famous, the beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, and the mother of all things!"
No response.
Roar again—
"The Tao is very Tao, the name is very famous, the beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, and the mother of all things!"
Still no response.
One more shot -
"The Tao is very Tao, the name is very famous, the beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, and the mother of all things!"
His throat almost burst, and Lin Yuanzheng coughed loudly. Even if he worked so hard, he still didn't react at all.
"! What the hell is going to do with this rotten book! ”
Lin Yuanzheng angrily grabbed the book of "Xuanzhi and Xuanjing" and slammed it to the ground, he was already about to collapse.
"Hahaha, it's the first time I've seen such an idiot mage."
In the room where he was alone, he suddenly remembered the voice of another person, which made Lin Yuanzheng a little creepy: "Who are you?" Where are you hiding? Come out! ”
A burst of white smoke suddenly rose from the "Xuanzhi and Xuanjing" on the ground, and after the smoke dissipated, there was a small person in the air.
To say that it is a "human" is actually a bit reluctant, because this "person" has a pair of butterfly-like wings on his back. Of course, the body is completely human-like from head to toe, and it's a girl. The height is not more than ten centimeters, and he looks only twelve or thirteen years old; He wore a pointed wizard's hat on his head, a short black skirt, black hair that reached waist-length, and purple eyes that exuded a maturity and indifference that was not appropriate for his age.
"It's so cute."
Lin Yuanzheng couldn't help but stretch out a hand to go over.
"Presumptuous, dare to be rude to this fairy!"
The "little Lori" made a move, and suddenly there was a small short cane, and he chanted a few words in his mouth, and the short cane was aimed at Lin Yuanzheng's outstretched fingers, and a strong electric current ran through it, and Lin Yuanzheng immediately lay upright on the ground, foaming at the mouth, and his limbs were constantly twitching.
When he woke up, he saw that the book "Xuanzhi and Xuanjing" had been placed on the table, and the "little Lori" was sitting on the book with her legs crossed, looking at him with her hands on her cheeks.
"Idiot mage." "Little Lori" saw him wake up and gently spit out these words.
Being mocked by such a small thing, Lin Yuanzheng was embarrassed.
"That's it, for the sake of watching you wake up this fairy, I'll spare you this time."
"Oh." Lin Yuanzheng was suspicious in his heart: Wake up, what wake up?
"From now on, you are the servant of this fairy, and you must obey the orders of this fairy and protect this fairy from being captured by the old fairy of Nanhua."
Servant? Are you kidding! Or be a little servant like you!
Lin Yuanzheng didn't answer, "Little Lori" raised the short staff in his hand and drew a circle, a small fire dragon appeared out of thin air, and after rolling in the air a few times, his body suddenly expanded and became many times larger, and flew towards Lin Yuanzheng.
The fire dragon seemed to be deliberately teasing Lin Yuanzheng, circling around Lin Yuanzheng a few times, and the dragon's tail swept through Lin Yuanzheng's hair, making a "zizi" sound and a scorching smell.
Little Lori snapped her fingers, and the fire dragon immediately disappeared without a trace: "How is it?" My spells are much more powerful than your drunkard master, and if you promise me, I'll teach you all these spells that manipulate thunder, fire, and ice. ”
Lin Yuanzheng was excited, this little flying Lori did look much more powerful than Ge Siyuan, if she really taught herself all those spells as she said, it would naturally be the best. But he still has a lot of questions in his mind:
"Okay, but you have to tell me who you are and where you come from."
"You can just call this fairy the Dream Butterfly Fairy, and you will naturally know about other things in the future. Since you were able to wake me up from my slumber, you must have some magic weapon with you. Well, it may be just right to deal with Nanhua Old Immortals. However, it is imperative that you copy this scripture as soon as possible, or your drunkard master will soon find out. ”
Lin Yuanzheng was going to ask a question, but the Dream Butterfly Fairy didn't allow him to ask any more questions, so he had to hurriedly go to the street and buy some pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, cut the paper, and copied the handwriting on the "Xuanzhi and Xuanjing". Fortunately, there are not many words in the whole book, only about 1,000 words, but it took nearly two hours to complete the copying.
"Alright, this fairy is going to teach you some basics of spell use now. Listen to me. After the Dream Butterfly Fairy finished speaking, she began to read, "Tao Ke Dao, very Dao." The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth......"
But where does this tone look like a mantra? It's clearly singing children's songs......
"Cheer up and follow me, idiot mage!"
The Dream Butterfly Fairy saw Lin Yuanzheng's lips move, but he didn't make a sound, as if he saw through his thoughts: "Chanting is just a form of summoning, with the help of which people can communicate with the power of heaven and earth, and then transform the power of heaven and earth into their own energy......"
"Oh-"
"What else is there not to understand? Hurry up and ask this fairy to answer for you. ”
"I don't understand what you're talking about, but it feels amazing......"
"Sure enough, he's just an idiot mage with mediocre talent, and he can't even understand such a simple truth! Alas, if it weren't for the fact that this fairy's mana has not fully recovered now, he would not be looking for you. ”
"Oh......"
"Don't read it to me yet."
"Yes."
Children's songs are not difficult to learn, and for a whole day, Lin Yuanzheng has memorized "Xuanzhi and Xuanjing" very well. After studying for more than an hour, Lin Yuanzheng could sing the more than 1,000-word "Xuanzhi and Xuanjing" with his eyes closed.
Of course, that's not the problem, the problem is that it doesn't work if he can sing.
Even if he sang the "Tao Te Ching" loudly in the sky, there was still no reaction around him.
Will it work?!
However, the Dream Butterfly Fairy still had words in his mind, so he continued to listen patiently-
"Lift the heaven and earth, grasp the yin and yang, breathe the essence, guard the gods independently, and the muscles are one, so you can live the heaven and the earth, and there is no end ......"
"Death and separation, accumulation of spirits, parades between heaven and earth, audio-visual and ......"
I don't know what you're reading, but the more I listen to it, the more tired I get.
Lin Yuanzheng's eyelids gradually began to fight, and between falling asleep and not sleeping, he only felt that his mind was blank, and suddenly, it seemed that a white light rushed down from the sky......
Lin Yuanzheng broke out in a cold sweat, and when he woke up, the Dream Butterfly Fairy looked a little tired.
"You rookie mage, you don't have any mana at all! This fairy has no choice but to use the Daigo empowerment method to inject some spiritual power into you, remember, in the future, you must practice diligently to enhance your spiritual power. Without spiritual power, no amount of chanting is useless. ”
"Oh."
Lin Yuanzheng responded as if he didn't understand.
"This fairy is already tired, if your master comes, give him that book." The dream butterfly fairy yawned, then stretched, recited a few words in his mouth, and his body turned into a cloud of green smoke and slowly burrowed into the original "Xuanzhi and Xuanjing" over there.
Could it be that she is a fairy in the book?
Lin Yuanzheng was a little abrupt.
However, with a slight effort, he found that although the inside of his belly was empty, it seemed to be full of strength, and he felt very comfortable.
"It's a good way, it's a very good way. It's famous, it's very ......famous," he tentatively chanted a few of the mantras that the Dream Butterfly Fairy had taught him.
A small flame appeared in the air, and began to move with his thoughts.
It's done!
