Mr. Ning picked up his pen and wrote the word "water" on the bamboo slips.

"Do you recognize that?" asked Mr. Ning.

"This is the text of the Shang Dynasty?" Su Qi looked at it for a moment and recognized that it was the word "water" in the oracle bone inscription. Oracle bone inscriptions and Jin inscriptions are known as Shang inscriptions and inscriptions in this era, because oracle bone inscriptions were most prevalent in the Shang Dynasty, while Jin inscriptions were mostly inscriptions on Zhong Ding at all times in the Zhou Dynasty.

"That's right. Mr. Ning nodded, "All rune masters have to start from business literature, do you know why?"

Su Qi thought for a while and said, "Shang Wen, inscription, big seal and small seal, the only difference is the glyph." Could it be because the glyphs of Shang Wen are more suitable for the rune master?"

"Yes, it's glyphs. Mr. Ning approving, "The older the text, the higher the degree of pictograms, and the easier it is for the rune master to associate with it." If you have to use a small seal to write from the beginning, few rune masters can write qualified runes. ”

"Listen to what Mr. means, does every rune master have to learn all the fonts of the past and present?" Su Qi couldn't help but feel a little confused, this was much more annoying than cultivation.

"There are also those who can directly skip the previous stages, but those people are either genius calligraphers, or genius cultivators with sensing abilities far beyond ordinary people, or some are outright monsters, such as Lao Tzu. Mr. Ning said, "If you are an ordinary ordinary person, you still have to learn from scratch." ”

"How can I prove that I am not an ordinary man?" Su Qi asked, "Isn't my performance in class still proven?"

"Of course not. Mr. Ning smiled slightly, "When I said that you are very talented, I mean that you are very talented among ordinary people. If there are thousands of rune masters today, if you push forward twenty years, there are tens of thousands of rune masters in these twenty years, and only one or two of the tens of thousands of rune masters can start directly from the seal writing. Your qualifications are considered top among ordinary people, but among rune masters, you can only barely be regarded as excellent. ”

"So don't be discouraged and start with business. Mr. Ning patted Su Qi on the shoulder, "Oh, by the way, there is actually good news, that is, you don't have to learn all the business texts, and there are some particularly obscure words that will not be used in the runes." ”

"Oh, yes? Great. How much does it take up that won't be used?" asked Su Qi.

"One tenth. ”

“......”

"That's a lot. Mr. Ning said.

"Alright, sir, let's hurry up and learn the water talisman. Su Qi decided not to think about those ants crawling like words.

"Good. Mr. Ning nodded, "What I just talked about is the 'form' of the rune, and what I want to talk about next is the 'meaning' of the rune." For example, runes are like calligraphy, which requires their own characteristics and innovation, and like painting, they require an understanding of nature. Therefore, the rune master often cultivates the Tao, and the Tao is natural, and this is the case. ”

"If you want to write a water rune, the glyph is to create a hint of yourself, and the true yuan is to provide power for the rune. In addition, there is one of the most important cores, that is, artistic conception. Suppose there are two rune masters, one who lives deep inland and has seen a few small pools at most, while the other lives by the sea, often seeing strong winds and waves crashing on the shore. Then the water charm written by the two people will be completely different. ”

"Therefore, if you want to write a good rune, you need a lot of understanding of nature. All things in heaven and earth can be runes, so the runes at the bottom of each rune master are related to their own unique perceptions. ”

"Then sir, what is your strongest rune?" asked Su Qi.

"The strongest rune for a teacher is 'change'. Mr. Ning said.

"Change, how to change?" Su Qi was a little curious.

"Well, it will open your eyes to the incredible power of knowing the runes. Mr. Ning said, unfolding the bamboo slip and drawing a large circle on it. He drew his right index finger in the air, wrote the word "change" at a very fast speed, and then pointed at the bamboo slip in the air, and a thin layer of heaven and earth vitality was attached to the bamboo slip.

Su Qi only felt a flower in front of him, and when he looked at it again, the circle on the bamboo slip had become square.

Su Qi opened his mouth wide in surprise: "This ...... Sir, how is this done?"

Mr. Ning smiled slightly: "This is the power of the 'change' character. Imagine what would happen if you were to use a sword and the enemy actually saw that you had a sword in your hand? This talisman is the best way to deceive others, of course, there are some limitations on the time, and when the true element dissipates, this effect disappears. ”

"Sir, may I ask a more rude question?"

"You say. ”

"Mr. said that the runes that every rune master is best at are related to their own unique perceptions, does this mean that Mr. likes to deceive people?" asked Su Qi.

Mr. Ning smiled slightly, and pointed to the bamboo slip on Su Qi's case: "There is a lot of nonsense, now start practicing writing characters." ”

......

......

Two hours later, Su Qi returned to the carriage with several bundles of bamboo slips in his arms, and with a sad face.

It's not difficult to write runes, but it's hard to make them powerful. In addition to improving the perception of the runes themselves, it is also essential to practice calligraphy. So Mr. Ning handed over all the ancient Chinese books at the bottom of the box to Su Qi and asked him to go back and copy them well.

For Su Qi, these business inscriptions and inscriptions are not too difficult, and it is no problem to barely recognize eighty percent, but it is one thing to recognize words, and it is another thing to write. Thinking that he would learn all the Shang texts and inscriptions in the future, Su Qi felt a faint sadness.

"In addition to practicing, there is one more lesson, and it seems that I have to practice at home. Su Qi thought helplessly.

Back at home, Su Lang was practicing knife skills in the courtyard. Le Sheng has already sent over the key to the cultivation method in the army, including the knife method and the exercises. These exercises are quite suitable for Su Lang's character, and Su Lang has already had an extremely deep accumulation, so he quickly broke through the second realm.

The second realm is a qualitative improvement for cultivators, so Su Lang's current combat strength is enough to fight with most cultivators of his age.

The little fat man Su Dengxiao is still bored in the house and is nowhere to be seen.

Su Qi was about to go back to the house, when a servant hurriedly ran over and said to Su Qi: "Young Master, a person who called himself Liu Qi came to look for him earlier, saying that he had something to ask to see, and it happened that the young master was not at home. He said, when the young master comes back, please trouble the young master to find a time to find him before tonight. ”

"Huh?" Su Qi was stunned, Liu Qiye came, it must have been Zhao Yang's instructions, could it be that Zhao Yang encountered some problems?

Since Su Qi had promised to help Zhao Yang, it was naturally impossible to ignore it, he thought about it and asked, "Does he let me go alone, or take someone else over?"

He said to let Childe go alone. The servant replied.

"I see. Su nodded and sent the servants away. He decided to have lunch first, then take a break, and went to the black market to find Zhao Yang.
