Chapter 43: I see
"Daoist?"
Chen An was stunned, Taoist priest? What is it? What a strange name. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's just that these strange things in the house, looking at the past, always have a very strange feeling.
Thinking of this, Chen An pointed to the things on the shelf and couldn't help asking, "Qianqian, what are these things?" ”
"These are things that belong to Taoist priests." Qianqian tilted her head, looking very playful and cute, she said: "That long robe, it seems to be called 'Dao robe', and the circular pattern on the 'Dao robe' is 'Tai Chi'. ”
"The thing that is full of dust but has eight sides, and is made of brass, it should be the so-called 'Bagua', and the small stove with a round belly, which is the 'incense burner', this thing is more interesting, according to the records of the ancestors, those who called 'Taoist priests' often inserted things like burning sticks into the incense burner, and called this process 'incense', in order to achieve the purpose of meditation and practice."
"Those 'Taoist priests' are really weird." Chen An was slightly stunned.
He walked to the shelf, picked up the gossip and incense burner on the shelf, looked at it carefully, and slowly stroked the robe, looking stunned.
The texture of the robe was soft, and his fingers swiped it, and there was a delicate and smooth feeling, Chen An's eyes wandered, and he suddenly focused on the Tai Chi Yin and Yang fish on the robe, and suddenly a very special feeling was born in his heart.
I can't tell the truth, this feeling can only be understood, not spoken.
"This ......" Chen An felt that feeling lingering in his heart, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.
"Brother An, those 'Taoists' are different from the original martial artists." Qianqian followed behind Chen An, looked at Chen An, said in a cheerful tone: "Their strong path is not called promotion, but cultivation, and they pay attention to the so-called 'Heavenly Dao' and the so-called 'Dao Law of Nature'. ”
"Those 'Taoist priests' are really a very strange group of people."
"Oh, that's right." Chen An agreed casually, he was a little dazed, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he turned his head, looked at Qianqian, and said, "Qianqian, do you know more about the 'Taoist priest'?"
Qianqian shook her head and said, "I don't know, in fact, Brother An, we Xiluo people also know very little about the 'Taoist priest', and all we can know is a few words left by our ancestors." ”
"Very far ago, when the Shilo people had not yet begun to wander and were still very strong, our ancestors only accidentally met the 'Taoist priests' once, and those 'Taoist priests' lived here in the country of the Shilo people for a while, and then left, and since then, for so many years, there has been no news about the 'Taoist priests'."
"However, according to the records of the ancestors, those 'Taoist priests' were very powerful, and even the Helo people at their peak, with many powerful original warriors, trembled in the face of those 'Taoist priests', as if walking on thin ice."
Chen An nodded, indicating that he understood, he looked at the things on the shelf, slowly brushed away the dust of the gossip, and suddenly felt as if his heart was empty, without any attachment.
It's amazing, but for the so-called 'Taoist priest', Chen An has an indescribable feeling, and when he heard no news about the Taoist priest at this moment, he suddenly felt like he had lost something important.
He felt as if he was missing something.
Chen An couldn't help frowning.
"Brother An." Seeing that Chen An was a little depressed, Qianqian bit her lower lip, and then said, "Actually, some of those 'Taoist priests' have some books left. ”
"Those 'Taoist priests' left books!" Chen An seemed to be infused with vitality, and suddenly came to life, his eyes burned, and he said, "Qianqian, you mean that those 'Taoist priests' left their practice, oh no, the method of cultivation?"
Qianqian shook her head and said, "Brother An, those 'Taoist priests' don't have a way to leave a way to practice, after all, they are so powerful, who can force them to leave a method of cultivation." ”
"Because the ancestors had helped them, those 'Taoist priests' had left their cultivation codex to the ancestors before leaving, which had nothing to do with cultivation, and was purely a few words of understanding written down by the 'Taoist priests' in their leisure time for cultivation, or some monastic concepts, which contained part of their thoughts and spirits."
Chen An was stunned, no wonder the old village chief's words were profound, on the one hand, it was related to his many years of life experience, and on the other hand, it must have been influenced by the thoughts in those cultivation notes.
Taking a deep breath, Chen An looked at Qianqian and said, "Qianqian, where are the codexes left by those 'Taoist priests'?" Can I take a look?"
Qianqian laughed and said, "Big brother, you can't read those cultivation codexes. ”
"Back then, the ancestors were able to communicate with Taoist priests because they were so powerful that they no longer needed words." After a pause, Qianqian continued: "Because, those 'Taoist priests' have their own language and writing, which look very strange, crooked, twisted and twisted, like pictures, and like ordinary words, but it looks like people feel relaxed and happy, and they feel that it should be like this. ”
"Those 'Taoist priests' call their writing 'seal script'!"
"'Seal Script'." Chen An repeated softly, he thought for a moment and asked, "Since this is the case, how can the old village chief understand the meaning of those codexes?" Can he read it?"
Qianqian shook her head and said: "Grandpa naturally can't understand it, the reason why he can understand the meaning of those books is because our ancestors had contact with those 'Taoist priests' back then and left annotations, even so, for those codexes, grandpa can only see part of them, understand part of them, but not all of them." ”
Chen An laughed, and he said in a low voice, "I see. ”
"Qianqian, I'll go find the old village chief!"
"Brother An!" Qianqian looked at Chen An's back as he quickly ran away, was taken aback, and hurriedly followed.
Chen An's feet were windy, and he couldn't wait to directly crash into the things that stood in front of him, and finally, he appeared outside the door of the old village chief's house.
Holding back the agitated emotions in his chest, Chen An knocked on the door, and only after getting the permission of the old village chief did he push the door in.
Qianqian caught up, followed him, and walked into the old village chief's house together.
"Old village chief."
"Grandpa."
The old village chief nodded slightly, his gaze stopped on Qianqian for a moment, and then fell on Chen An, and said, "Young man, you are here again." ”
"I want to disturb you with something." Chen An sorted out his thoughts for a moment, then changed his words and said, "Old village chief, you just said that you owe me a favor. ”
"Oh, young man, have you thought of what you want, or let me answer your question?" The old village chief laughed.
"I want to borrow the 'Taoist priest's codex!"
Chen An slowly said the words in his heart, he stared at the old village chief, and said, "'Daoist's codex, I want to borrow it." ”
"Lend it to me, I really need it."
The easy-going smile on the old village chief's face stiffened suddenly, and then the smile disappeared, and his face was silent, and he couldn't see any expression, like a piece of cold and hard marble.
Chen An didn't say much, just stood quietly.
There was silence, and it seemed like a long time had passed.
The old village chief's eyes rippled as a deep lake, he frowned, his lips moved slightly, he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it.
"Grandpa." Qianqian walked over, looked at Chen An, and hugged the old village chief's arm.
The old village chief's body trembled, looked at Chen An, looked at Qianqian again, and suddenly laughed, and said, "Young man, who told you to save Qianqian." ”
"If you want to see those things, stay in the village, don't go out, and besides, don't tell what you see, this is the rule, although I am old, but if you want to kill people, you can still do it." These words were still very flat at first, but by the end, they had become full of murderous aura.
It wasn't until Chen An nodded that the old village chief stretched out his hands and slowly opened them, and a cloud of surging gray gas rolled and appeared, gradually getting bigger, revealing several yellowed books in the middle of the gray qi.
He slowly withdrew his hands, the gray gas disappeared like a cloud, and several yellowed books floated gently past, and suddenly fell on Chen An's hands.
"Okay, you've got the 'Taoist' cultivation codex, let's go." The old village chief's voice was hoarse.
Chen An held the book in his hand, then looked at the old village chief who slowly closed his eyes and rested, then nodded to Qianqian, pushed open the door, and left.
Actually, speaking of which, I still have to thank Qianqian.
This thought flashed through his mind, and Chen An held the book tightly and returned to the wooden house arranged for him.
Taking a deep breath, Chen An calmed down the restless mood in his heart, then opened the book and began to flip through it.
Indeed, as Qianqian said, the words written on these codex are very strange, twisted and bent, like patterns, but there is a different kind of beauty, it is simply an alien script, but there are many annotations made in imperial characters next to it, otherwise, Chen An will be blind.
The subtle sound of the pages turning came, and Chen An's eyes became brighter and brighter as he looked at the notes.
"It turned out to be like this, the yin fish and the yang fish restrain each other, and the yin fish and the yang fish grow together, this is the so-called yin and yang Taiji principle, everything in the world is like this, and there is no exception." Chen An muttered to himself, his expression shocked.
He thought a lot of things at once.
Well, wait a minute, it seems that something has appeared, important, familiar.
A light flashed in Chen An's mind, he stood up suddenly, his eyes were bright and scary, and said: "I understand, Ben Thunder Cloud Hand, Cloud Hand and Thunder Hand, Thunder Hand and Cloud Hand, Yin and Yang, Yang and Yin!" ”
He finally burst out laughing.
"I see!"
