Chapter 377: Father Li preaches
Kaiyuan is prosperous, the world is peaceful, there are many talents, and the world is enchanting.
At this time, Tang Emperor Li Longji had been on the throne for two years, recruiting talents and good advice, and the Tang Empire was slowly entering the peak era, and all states came to the dynasty and became a real golden country.
These days, Sun Ran has been staying at home because of what happened by the river, and he was grounded.
In the past few days, he has also figured out the situation of this family, his father's name is Li Ke, a burly strong man, it is Ren Cheng, that is, the county lieutenant of the small county where he lives, which is equivalent to the public security chief of later generations. In the small place of Rencheng, this official is not small.
The rules of power in this world have not changed much, there are still Taoism, ghosts and gods, but because of the Western Heaven learning scriptures decades ago, the powerful Taoism and martial arts have been sealed by the game company and lost. The powerful ghosts and gods, that is, the saboteurs, were swept away, and only a few cats and dogs were left.
The new saboteurs, unless they are really necessary, will basically not enter the Tang Empire, because the trick that the Confucian company did before is too shady and terrifying.
In short, the current Datang is very calm, and there are some ghosts and gods, but they are all petty fights.
As for Li Ke, he is really a strange person, his martial arts are first-class, otherwise he would not be the director of the public security bureau, but because all kinds of exercises have been lost, he has no true qi, so he is also an ordinary person with a strong body, and then he has also learned some Taoist techniques, although they are all basic, but it is absolutely no problem to catch a few little ghosts.
Therefore, in Rencheng, Li Ke, the county lieutenant, has a very high prestige, managing yin and yang, and the people in the county do not call him Li County Lieutenant, but call him Li Tianshi, and the county order also relies on him very much.
"Xiaobai, have you practiced today's words?" It is Li Bai's mother, Yuewa.
At this time, Datang was strong in all directions. The culture is also extremely strong, the surrounding small countries and ethnic groups are orthodox in the Central Plains culture, and the Tang Dynasty began to take the imperial examination, so the sons of qualified families have to study.
Although Yuewa is a Turkic woman, she also admires the culture of the Central Plains. I am determined to train my children to be readers.
Sun Ran nodded and pulled out the notebook: "I've already practiced." ”
Yuewa didn't know how to read, and believed in her son, so she didn't ask when she heard him practice, and said, "Okay." Your dad is back, and he's coming to dinner. ”
"Okay."
At the dinner table, Li Ke began to study his son's studies and asked a few questions. Sun Ran replied decently, he was satisfied, squeaked, and took a sip of wine happily.
"Father, the child wants to learn martial arts and Taoism." Sun Ran took the opportunity to say that he borrowed this physical body, and this physical body was raised by Li's father and Li's mother, so he should be called his parents. This is the causal cycle.
Li Ke frowned: "These are all small paths, and reading is the right way." You don't want to learn. Just read the book well. ”
But Mr. Ke said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. When a child wants to walk the world in the future, the road is dangerous, there are thieves and ghosts, how can he do without protective skills? The child was by the river a few days ago. I was almost hooked by the water ghost. ”
"Huh?" Li Ke frowned: "What did you see by the river?" ”
Sun Ran said half-truthfully: "The child was originally only playing by the river, and then I saw an old woman in the river calling the child's name, and then my brain was confused, and I walked over unconsciously." ”
When Li Ke heard this, he took the case. He said angrily: "This water ghost is really bold, he dares to harm my son!" ”
He has been a county lieutenant for six years, and he has seen a lot of ghosts and gods, and he has also caught a lot of mountain monsters and ghosts.
In addition to being angry, he pondered what Sun Ran said, and felt that it was very reasonable, especially 'It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books', which was very good, so he nodded and said: "What Mr. said makes sense, then Dad will teach you Taoism and swordsmanship!" ”
"Thank you, thank you, father."
"I can't pull down my homework."
"No, it won't."
Li Ke was very efficient, and after eating, he took Sun Ran to the ancestral hall that night and began to preach. He first respectfully placed a stick of incense on the ancestors and ancestors in the ancestral hall, and then pointed to the middle
's ancestor tablet said: "My Li family, the most powerful Taoist master, is this Li Bo." Back then, he supported Taizu Taizong, the master of Qiankun, and later rose to the top of the day and became an immortal. The Taoist technique is high, unrivaled in the world, and it is a peerless great master! Give him incense sticks too. ”
Sun Ran was very puzzled in his heart, this was clearly talking about him, but he remembered that he didn't seem to have left any descendants, how could someone treat him as an ancestor? Now that he himself is here, and he worships himself as an ancestor, this thing is really a bit awkward.
But worship it, worship yourself and don't suffer a loss, Sun Ran took the incense that Father Li twisted, bowed respectfully three times, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.
The incense is on the incense, Sun Ran still doesn't understand, isn't this preaching? How did you become an ancestor worshipper?
Li Ke's demeanor was very respectful, and after walking to the tablet, he touched it somewhere, and a portrait was revealed.
This portrait turned out to be the appearance of Li Bo that Sun Ran used that day, with nine images, dressed in purple robes, standing on the bank of the river, with flying clothes and ribbons, and the temperament and charm of the whole body are even more like a full ten.
I don't know who handed down this portrait. Sun Ran was strange.
Father Li then replied, and said with an awe-inspiring expression: "This portrait was handed down by my Li family's grandmother, Xie's family, for future generations to observe the ancestors' demeanor, and it is also the foundation of my Li family's preaching!" ”
Hsieh? Is it Xie Xiao'e? But he didn't expect to respect him as an ancestor at this time, Sun Ran recalled the scene of accepting apprentices that day, and couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart. But he still wondered in his heart, such an ordinary portrait is still the foundation of preaching, what kind of preaching is this?
Li Ke continued: "Decades ago, the heavens and the earth descended a great catastrophe, the immortals and Buddhas fell countless times, and the Great Dao declined. The profound Taoism has been lost. Fortunately, the avenue is fifty and the sky is forty-nine, but there is still a line. ”
Li Ke looked at Sun Ran and said solemnly: "Looking at the portrait of the ancestors, I think about it in my heart every day, and I realize that the ancestor Li Bo is the teacher of Qiankun, looking at the world, and the ghosts and gods are the peerless demeanor of the Yiyi, so as to raise the Daoji, Wu'er, take a good look at the portrait!" ”
Sun Ran finally understood, it turned out that the Li family passed down the last skill of preaching: contemplating ideas.
The so-called visualization is to reverently imagine an image in one's mind and get infinitely closer to the object of visualization, so as to condense one's spirit and temper one's mana.
This method is extremely inefficient, and Sun Ran didn't bother to use it at all. But now that he is here to find someone, although the mana obtained by relying on visualization is not much, it should be enough to deal with a few weak ghosts and monsters in the Tang Empire, and Sun Ran will not have much to do, just visualize.
So he began to look at the portrait carefully, and after a while, Li Ke asked, "Can you remember clearly?" ”
Sun Ran nodded: "Father, the child remembers."
"Okay." Li Ke put away the portrait in a precious place, and then said: "This visualization technique is the foundation of enlightenment, you first visualize for a month, remember to be sincere, and when you have a foundation, your father will teach you the method of exorcism." ”
"Yes, father." Sun Ran nodded.
"Okay, remember to get up early tomorrow and enlighten your father in swordsmanship. Daowu is not separated, Dao art must be practiced well, and this martial art cannot be left behind, so that he can walk the world without hindrance. Back then, Master Zu didn't talk about Taoism, but martial arts were also promoted to great grandmasters. ”
Sun Ran naturally responded again.
The next day, Li's father got up early and arrived in the yard, where he saw that his child was already waiting, smiled with satisfaction, and began to teach martial arts.
In this pass, he found that his son was extremely talented, all kinds of martial arts and sword moves, as long as he practiced once, he could understand it in his heart, and he could quickly comprehend the essence of various tricks, and he turned out to be a martial arts wizard, and he couldn't help but be surprised and delighted.
'Ha Luha, my Li family has a queen, not bad, not bad! Li Ke was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was silent and meticulous.
In the following time, Sun Ran got up in the morning to practice martial arts, visualized the portraits of his ancestors in the morning and evening, and read and practiced calligraphy every day, without slacking off, and all his skills were growing rapidly. In the eyes of Li's father, he became more and more satisfied with this son.
This life lasted for a month, Sun Ran also contemplated it for a month, his heart was still religious, and there was really mana in his body, although it was pitiful, less than half a level, but looking at Father Li, the mana in his body was not much more, probably a little more than a level, his old mana was already invincible in the ghost and god realm of Rencheng, and he was also called Li Tianshi, and the withering of ghosts and gods in the Tang Empire can be seen.
Father Li once again took Sun Ran to the ancestral hall and asked solemnly: "My son, in January Meditation, you should also have some foundation, and my father will start teaching your Taoism tonight." (To be continued......)
