Chapter 35: Enlightenment
Zhouyi Research Society?
Perhaps, under the current policy of the empire that has not released the ban on Dao Buddha from the official face, this is the way for a yin-yang warlock like Master Lu to make a living?
I walked in the door, and inside the small façade was a narrow walkway that was twenty meters long, and there was a set of glass counters on one side, which were full of all kinds of feng shui utensils, such as Buddha statues, compasses, gossip mirrors, wind chimes, wooden runes and jade talismans, feng shui books that were easy to learn, gourds, small short swords, jade carvings and the like, and there were also a lot of five emperor coins that Master Cao despised very much. There are also some less common things that look like antiques and ritual artifacts.
On the other side of the wall, there are a lot of paper things.
Paper people, paper horses, ingots and paper money are normal, but I was really stunned when I saw yachts, sports cars, jewelry, mobile phones, as long as they are luxury goods in the real world, almost all of them are here.
"Please take care of yourself." An old man of about fifty years old stood at the counter and said with a smile. "I don't know what you're asking for, little friend?"
His appearance is very good, his long beard is very fairy-like, and he looks like a fairy-like feeling.
"I'm here to find Master Lu and Master Cao."
"Please go up to the second floor, please." He said with a smile still on his face.
Is this also a warlock like Master Lu and them?
I can't help but be a little curious.
The staircase is covered by a curtain painted with gossip, and it is almost impossible to see until the end, and there is a small incense case under the staircase, which enshrines a Taoist figure.
"I didn't expect to wait long." Master Cao and Master Lu were both upstairs, and he said with a smile as soon as he saw me.
Master Lu put a plaster on one hand and smiled at me.
Lu Xiaoling was not there.
"Xiaoling, she went to school." Master Cao said meaningfully, making my face warm for no reason.
I'm not here for her!
But then again, this girl is still in school?
In my imagination, shouldn't people like Heavenly Master Warlocks be masters who don't eat fireworks in the world and are not outside the world?
Master Lu didn't dwell on this matter, but told me briefly what they had done from last night to now.
Master Cao is a native of Jiangnan Province, and he doesn't have much to do here, mainly because Master Lu is trying to figure out a way.
Those who do their business have more or less friends in the archaeological community, and the photos taken by Master Cao have been developed and copied to them, and the Sanhe soil has also been used for identification, but the results are probably not available for a while.
Master Lu had never seen the monster on the wood carving, and they showed this thing to a friend who was engaged in folklore research, and the other party said that they had to check the information to have a result.
The only thing that had a little hope was the few pieces of paper full of secret words that Master Cao had photographed, and they sent faxes to friends from all over the country to see, and a Yin Yang Warlock from a Central Plains family called back and said that he seemed to have seen similar ones somewhere, but he had to wait for him to check.
This result made me feel a little frustrated, but Master Lu said with a smile: "As soon as you encounter something, you can immediately find someone who knows how to do it, and that's a movie." In the past few hundred years, two northern captives have been in charge, and several foreign invasions, especially the Japanese invasions, have greatly damaged our traditional culture, and many family inheritances have been extinct at that time. Now we know a lot of things are only after the country has become strong in the past few years, and it has begun to pick it up again little by little, this matter is not in a hurry, maybe to solve the matter of Heihezi this time, we can solve some of the puzzles left by our ancestors. ”
I could only nod.
"Tomorrow we are going to the Provincial Archives to check the unsolved case from fifty years ago, do you want to come together?" He asked me with a smile.
I nodded hurriedly.
"How have you been feeling lately?" Master Lu asked again.
At first, I thought he was asking about the hand, but after saying a few words, I realized that he was asking about the eye of the sky.
Because it requires concentration to work, this thing actually didn't have as much impact on me as I thought, but that's probably because I haven't been to any places lately.
The only place that scares me a little is the hospital, some say it's the place with the most dead people in peacetime, and if you had to count it, it's probably the most dense place for ghosts and the like. It is precisely for this reason that when I had to go to the hospital twice, I never dared to open my eyes.
"That's the best, I've always been worried about your unrestrained use of the Sky Eye." Master Lu looked relieved. "When you see them, they can also feel this, you still don't have any Dao foundation at all, it's easy to get into trouble."
This statement made me a little nervous, and I hurriedly asked, "So what should I do?" ”
"I have here a book of Xuanqing Zhenren's annotated "Brief Record of the Consistent True Opportunity of the Tao", as well as a few annotated copies of the "Tao Te Ching", "Chongxu Zhide Zhenjing", and "Yellow Emperor Yin Fu Jing", you take it first and take a look, if you don't understand anything, you can call me at any time."
Several of the books are manuscripts, but they look very new and should have been transcribed recently.
Every word on it is very well written, and although I don't know much about calligraphy, I can still understand the general quality or badness.
After experiencing such a thing, of course I have a treasure for these things, to be honest, if he doesn't mention it, I also want to ask them for advice, of course, Master Lu prepared these things in advance, which makes me a little moved.
An unprecedented door has opened in front of me, dangerous, but more of a curiosity and thirst for the unknown.
As I went home with these four books in my arms, I felt a sense of superiority that I had never felt before when I looked at the people around me who knew nothing about the reality of the world.
And this is something I have never had in my ordinary twenty-two years of life.
Do you think that's all you know about the world?
You couldn't be more wrong!
There are many things in this world that you don't know, and you can be hurt by them at any time.
And now, I am above you.
Agent J's mentality when he joined the Men in Black organization was probably similar to what I am now, right?
But when I opened the book after dinner, I was blind.
Except for a few rare words that I really didn't recognize, I actually knew most of them, but when they were arranged and combined in this strange way, I found that I really couldn't understand what they meant.
Okay, maybe my foundation is not enough, so let me read the annotated version of the Tao Te Ching first, right?
I finally understood the book, but after a few minutes of reading it, I felt that my eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and I finally fell asleep shamefully.
