Chapter Twenty-Six: Eating Eggs and Laying Eggs

I have been back and forth to Datang many times, and this is the first time that Ye Jinyu has walked in Datang during the day.

The palace is majestic, and although there are no high-rise buildings, the buildings are magnificent, large-scale, and well-planned.

The palace is boring, except for the house, or the house, there is not much to see.

The palace is very large, and I haven't walked out of the palace gate for a long time.

Turning around and leaving the palace gate, the whole city came alive in an instant; Although the Tang Dynasty is still only in its infancy, it has not reached the prosperity of Zhenguan and Kaiyuan; However, as the political, cultural and economic center of the Tang Empire, Chang'an City was lively during the day, and it has already shown its international urban style.

Just like walking in the palace, this is also the first time Ye Jinyu has visited the streets of the Tang Dynasty, he looks east and west, trying to find out how the ancient city is different from what is shown on TV. Perhaps because the West Market is a wealthy area, the alleys are very spacious, but there are basically high-walled compounds on both sides of the road. You can't see the colorful signboards of modern Xi'an, and there are no brilliant neon lights; Very ordinary feeling.

Judging from Ye Jinyu's experience in the industry for more than half a year, there is a lot to be done in the advertising graphic industry here! A large number of blank courtyard walls can be plastered with advertising spray cloth to publicize the eight honors and eight shames or the three represents, the core values of Tang imperialism or something.

There is also the simple cloth signboard, embroidered with a few equally simple words, just fluttering in the wind, without a sense of design or luxury; It can be made into a stainless steel signboard, glued with a few large metal characters, standing high, if there is electricity, and then put a few groups of LED lights to light up the words, the effect is leveraged.

The same is true for the signboard at the door of the store, more than ninety percent of them are carved on a piece of wood and engraved with a few words and brushed with a layer of paint, and some even the paint has fallen off, looking like something that has persisted for hundreds of years may break at any time, it is old-fashioned and shabby, is it a broken and old signboard can represent that they are a century-old store? It can be replaced with acrylic, PVC, etc.! No matter how bad it is, the aluminum-plastic panel is also very glamorous.

In general, this is a virgin land in terms of advertising, well developed, and can become a billionaire in a year.

While looking around, I was excitedly calculating how much profit an advertisement could be. In the eyes of passers-by, his behavior was like a dirt bun entering the city, and he looked around curiously before he had seen the world, which made passers-by's sense of regional superiority burst instantly.

Ye Jinyu walked in front under the guidance of the eunuch, and the national teacher always followed Ye Jinyu, starting from the palace, he wanted to talk to Ye Jinyu several times, but every time he wanted to stop talking.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the emperor's designated godman mansion, it was too late to say anything, so he mustered up the courage to call Ye Jinyu: "Ye Shenren!" Seeing Ye Jinyu look back at him, he asked embarrassedly: "Dare to ask the gods and men to know more powerful talismans?" The poor mana is low, and the understanding and application of the talisman seal is not as good as that of the gods, and I hope that the gods will not hesitate to teach. As he spoke, he bowed.

Ever since he heard Ye Jinyu say that he had burned the steel with an ordinary fire talisman, the national teacher had been frightened, and he had never thought that the fire talisman could be as good as this; He tried it dozens of times in private, but no matter how hard he tried, even if he used all his mana, he couldn't melt the steel into a hole the size of his head as the god said. He did the best he could, that is, he burned a blade red, just red, and there was no sign of melting, let alone turning a hole.

Every time he recalled the bland narrative tone of the godman when he talked about the fire talisman melting gold and breaking the iron, the national teacher felt more and more unfathomable that the godman was unfathomable; Therefore, regardless of the taboo of peeping into other people's Taoist inheritance, he asked Ye Jinyu about the way of the talisman in the tone of a junior.

Ye Jinyu was stunned when he heard this, blinked his eyes and said, "Do you mean drawing talismans?" I won't! ”

When the national teacher heard this, he was not satisfied, and said in his heart that I am so old, and I asked you for advice in a low voice, but you refused to reveal it, but the Tao is someone else's, and he didn't dare to force it; In order to satisfy his curiosity and desire for knowledge, he was ruthless and said: "The inheritance of the poor Dao knows the gods and the people is very important, so the poor Dao is willing to use all kinds of classics of my Chongxuan School to dedicate to the gods, and only seek to see the inheritance classics of the gods." ”

Ye Jinyu thought to herself, what I obviously don't know, I still want to rely on the old and sell the old, will I be able to force me? Really, it delayed me from going to see the house given by the emperor. He shook his head again and said, "Drawing talismans is such a godly thing, I really can't do it!" ”

Hope was shattered, and the national teacher was annoyed and said, "How is it possible! Didn't the gods raise the power of the fire talisman to the point of molten gold and breaking iron, how could they achieve such strength without understanding the method of runes? Can make a character but can't draw a symbol? God-man don't deceive me! "Under the shame and anger, I don't even need to call myself poor.

"Hey! You're a funny Taoist priest. Ye Jinyu was also unhappy, and said very unhappily: "According to your logic, if you can eat eggs, you will definitely lay eggs?" If you don't lay eggs, won't you eat them? ”

The national teacher's round eyes widened, how could this god man be so unreasonable, and he actually compared the poor road to a chicken! Even if you are a different star, don't humiliate me like this!

Seeing that the national teacher was about to get angry, the apprentice behind him hurriedly grabbed his master, and said with a smile: "Father, don't be annoyed, what does this god mean, that is, like a person who reads, he may not necessarily print books, and this person who uses talismans may not necessarily draw talismans; Right? God. ”

The last sentence was said to Ye Jinyu, Ye Jinyu nodded and said: "That's what it means, young people are still smart and sensible." Then he asked, "Who are you?" I don't think I've seen you before. ”

"Dare to let the gods know, poor Li Chunfeng, in fact, we have met."

"Met?" Ye Jinyu had seen only a handful of people in the Tang Dynasty, and he really didn't remember anything when he had dealt with a young Taoist priest.

Seeing that Ye Jinyu really couldn't think of it, Li Chunfeng reminded again: "When I looked at the map of the world that day, Poor Dao used to press the corner of the map there; In addition, when His Majesty gave the god a jade pendant a while ago, Poor Dao also gave the god a talisman, a water talisman. The man of God may also know. ”

As soon as he said this, Ye Jinyu overlapped the inconspicuous person in his impression with the Taoist priest in front of him, but ......

"No, I remember that person was a middle-aged man with gray hair, and you are getting younger?"

Li Chunfeng smiled a little proudly: "The method of repairing the skin, it's just a small way, it's just a small way." After speaking, his face turned straight, and he said with a great smile: "We cultivators should pay more attention to inner cultivation. ”

"Humph!" The national teacher listened to the apprentice's words, snorted coldly, he couldn't get used to seeing the apprentice smile like this, and said righteously and awe-inspiringly, just pay attention to the inner cultivation and make up the work, if you can make a living, what are you doing to repair it?

Ye Jinyu looked at the national teacher, thinking about the fire talisman that was ignited by an electric baton, and said in his heart that this Taoist priest's nose is not a nose and eyes are not eyes, but the talisman drawn is still quite powerful, it is better to find some useful talismans from him, if you can learn his ability to draw talismans, it would be better.

So he pinched his nose and forcibly held back his unhappiness with the old Taoist priest, and said: "National teacher, whether you believe it or not, I really don't have the ability to draw talismans, but I can find you some of the Taoist classics, I believe there will be something you haven't seen before." But you're going to teach me how to draw talismans! ”

After listening to Ye Jinyu's words, the national teacher's first reaction was: Could it be that this god really can't draw talismans? The second reaction was: Taoist texts that I have never seen? Finally, I want to learn my housekeeping skill: drawing symbols.

The national teacher was very disappointed, he followed behind Ye Jinyu's buttocks, didn't he just hope that the gods would know some very powerful runes, and then let himself go further; Now that this hope is shattered, he is naturally disappointed, so he lost ground for a while, and almost lost his superior demeanor.

However, the Taoist classics thrown out by Ye Shenren are not small for him, he has lived for so long and has been a national teacher for so long, his status is not low, so the classics he can see in the Datang realm are basically turned over. Now that there is an unknown Taoist canon, the national teacher is naturally very curious.

However, the man of God did not unconditionally provide Taoist scriptures, he asked to learn to draw talismans; Drawing talismans is the housekeeping skill of his Chongxuan faction, and it is not allowed to be passed on. Although the entire Chongxuan Sect is in the same vein as him and his apprentice, the door rules still have to be followed.

In the face of temptation and the opposition of rules, the national teacher weighed for a while, although this god man is a little flamboyant and even unreasonable, but at least he has a good nature, and he is not a heinous treacherous person, and it is not impossible to teach him to draw talismans. Poor Dao is definitely not tempted by the classics, but purely to see that this god man has a bit of heaven; In the end, the classics prevailed, and the national teacher said:

"It's not impossible to learn the talismans of my Chongxuan sect, but you have to enter this sect; I know that you have studied with many teachers, so I don't force you to take refuge formally, just become a registered disciple. However, you must follow the rules of this practice that must not be passed on. ”

The apprentice next to him listened to Master's words, and the corners of his mouth straightened, Master, you yourself did not hesitate to break the vows in order to read the classics, but you kept telling others to abide by them.

Although the Taoist priest kept saying that he had such and such rules, Ye Jinyu didn't care, in his opinion, he was admitted to a drawing school after graduating from high school. As for things other than anger, why don't he want to learn it, let him learn to meditate day after day, year after year? Even if you teach me, you won't learn this.

So he agreed, "Yes, as long as you can learn to draw talismans." ”

The national teacher was very satisfied with his attitude, but thinking of Ye Shenren's special status in the emperor's heart, as well as his unknown masters, if he really accepted him as an apprentice, would he let the emperor and his masters have any malicious thoughts, thinking about one apprentice is enough to worry about himself, find another one? Forget it.

So he said: "Since this is the case, Poor Dao will accept you as a registered disciple on behalf of the Chongxuan Sect, and you don't need to be called Master, and Poor Dao will not teach you other cultivation methods other than drawing talismans; ”

When Ye Jinyu heard this, he said in his heart that this is better; As for things other than drawing talismans, he doesn't want to learn it, let him learn to meditate day after day, year after year? Even if you teach me, you won't learn this.

The national teacher said: "You first learn the basic rune knowledge from Chunfeng; Wait until you find the Taoist scriptures, and then the poor Taoist will teach you the way to draw talismans. "Typical no rabbit and no eagle.

"Yes, master." Seeing that he still had his own tasks, Li Chunfeng accepted the master's instructions with a smile, and then said to Ye Jinyu: "Ye Shenren, I hope to give you advice in the future." ”

Ye Jinyu hurriedly replied: "Senior Brother Li just call me Xiao Ye, the title of god is too foreign." What advice to talk about, I want to ask you for advice; Let's learn together and make progress together. ”

Li Chunfeng was young and very happy when he heard this, and continued to say: "Yes, learn together and make progress together." That's it. ”

Ye Jinyu laughed, shook his head and said that it was nothing, and then took out the water talisman that he had always wanted to try from his pocket and asked:

"By the way, speaking of which, I think of the water talisman you gave me; I have tried the fire talisman of the national teacher, and it is very powerful; But I haven't figured it out.,What is this water talisman for.,Now that I've met the original author.,Just ask for advice.。 ”

Li Chunfeng said: "This water talisman, the north belongs to water, and the runes related to water will basically use the true text of the north." So let's start with the northern text......"

"Northern Text? What is it? "Ye Jinyu is a Taoist illiterate, except for knowing that Taoism is a domestic product, and Lao Tzu Li Er is the founder of Taoism, the others are seven tricks and six tricks.

Li Chunfeng's temperament is not bad, listening to Ye Shenren's understanding, he patiently explained: "Eastern true text, southern true text, Western true text, northern true text; It is the basis of the runes. This oriental true text ......"

Seeing that the apprentice and the god man smelled like each other, walking side by side in front, the abandoned national teacher snorted very unhappily.
