It's my first time going far away, but now there are intercity trains, and you can go directly to the provincial capital in less than three hours, which is really convenient. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because I had contacted Uncle Xuanzhen by phone in advance, she drove me up and sent me directly to my home.

Today happened to be the weekend, but Song Lao had something to do outside, so he asked Uncle Xuanzhen to receive me first.

Fortunately, Uncle Xiao and I are already familiar with each other, and I am more comfortable in front of her.

The two sat opposite each other and chatted, and Uncle Xuanzhen jokingly complained to me for a long time, and Song Lao said:

"This old gentleman is really, if there is anything to say no on the phone, I just want you to come all the way over. ”

I said, "No! Senior Song must be pitiful, I have never been to the provincial capital, so I came to see the world." ”

"Haha......"

Uncle Xuanzhen was amused by my words.

But she is really elegant, and she didn't forget to cover her mouth even when she laughed.

Then she suddenly remembered something, and she asked me to join me in the study to see her latest paintings.

I just looked at it and said in amazement, "Hey, isn't this Stone Horse Mountain!"

In the foreground, the peaks of Shima Mountain look like a crown on the head of a giant bird, a reef island on the surface of the sea, and a jagged edge of a mulberry leaf.

And in the mountain, Uncle Xuanzhen drew an elliptical space with her imagination.

The space looks like a big snake egg and a cocoon.

There was also a small snake crouching in it, but it was not an abomination, and it was sleeping like a baby.

Of course, I knew that she was painting my mother, the famous Yin Snake, but at this time, my mother was painted as a beautiful snake, her face was beautiful, she looked peaceful, peaceful, and asleep.

Beyond the oval space: the sea is like ink, the waves are treacherous, and it is like an unfathomable night, where you can't see but feel the wind whistling by.

It is like a giant bird, spreading its wings to the boundless, protecting a big egg under it, carefully caring for and hatching, waiting for the moment when it breaks out of the shell!

Tears welled up in my eyes, and I immersed my whole mind in this vast place.

But I heard Uncle Xuanzhen explain to me with a fly in the ointment and a somewhat regretful tone: "It would be better if there was enough ink and big hair to splash ink out of the background." ”

"No, no, no, it's already good, it's good, thank you!"

I say.

Although this painting is deliberately beautified, I am really happy.

......

Song Lao is finally back.

I took the initiative to greet him: "Old Song is hard, he is so busy on weekends!"

"It's all trivial things, but it makes Xiao Jiang smile. ”

"Where is it, the small things in the eyes of Song Lao are really big things that affect the whole body in my eyes. ”

Seeing the tone of my speech, Uncle Xuan Zhen blamed me and said, "Jiang Heng has become so cheesy, he is so polite at home!"

Song Lao smiled slightly.

He said: "It's so easy to 'steal half a day', let's not be busy talking about business first, Xiao Jiang is willing to have a good chat with the old man now?"

I said, "Talking to Song Lao, I can't ask for it, my intention is this." ”

What are you talking about? Naturally, it is still inseparable from magic.

And related to the magic, it is naturally related to the Tian family, the Yang family and the Jiang family of Shaliu.

In my opinion, it seems that the magic of the witch gate and the ghost gate is a little out of flow compared to the Dao gate.

"Xiao Jiang is polite! Far from being simple or clumsy, the two families of ghost art and witchcraft have a long history and complement each other with my Daomen. ”

"Oh? Song Lao's statement is very fresh! I see that the Tian family and the Yang family are not separated, and the witch gate and the ghost gate are also full of contradictions, but you say that they complement each other, what is the basis?"

"If we really don't swear to each other, why should you and I waste time sitting here talking to each other? The earth can be divided into two, but the sky is only one piece, why should we deceive ourselves and shout the slogan of 'not sharing the sky'?"

I said, "It's just a matter of opinion." ”

Song Lao said: "However, if you are together, you will benefit both, and if you lose, you will be injured." ”

I asked him, "The wound can be restored, but how can the crack between the Tian family and the Yang family be healed?"

Song Lao said: "This will be discussed later, and now we only consider the way to survive." ”

I agree with him that it's too early to talk about it.

Then I said solemnly: "Old Song, I have a reluctant invitation this time. ”

"Xiao Jiang, don't be polite. ”

"Song Lao has been immersed in one of the techniques for too long and studied deeply, I don't know if he can teach me anything in terms of application?"

"It's true that you've been addicted for a long time, but it's hard to study it. Since Xiao Jiang is interested, let's exchange with each other. ”

"Yes. ”

"Then the old man will throw bricks and lead the jade!"

“......”

So I sat upright and listened intently to Song Lao explain the way of the magic he had understood.

In the application of talismans, although they are not so clear, the general direction is still obvious: from the point of view of development, some people emphasize the law and some people emphasize the arts; and from the practical application point of view, some people value artifacts and some people attach importance to spirit. In fact, these are two branches with the same root and origin. ”

It is precisely because of this that there are different sects and their own secret techniques. ”

"In Xiao Jiang's view, who is superior and who is inferior in the two application directions?"

"It's really hard to say. ”

"Let's be blunt. ”

"According to my understanding, with the utensils as the focus, can be cherished as treasures, can also be discarded as malpractice, can be hidden or discarded, just look at the attitude of the holder; since the utensils want to be used by me, of course, we must try to use it conveniently, so we are always constantly improving and creating, bringing forth the new, only fast and not broken. However, talent is the most important thing, and the utensils are still dead after all, without spirit!

If the focus of the spiritual spell is the focus, the process of spiritual accumulation is long, coupled with the habit of sticking to the rules, 'not abandoning', 'long' and eventually leading to the application lagging behind the actual needs, so the spiritual magic lags behind the instrumental logistics school most of the time. ”

However, after many years, most of the utensils were damaged, and after all, the spirit was immortal. ”

"Elder Song is right, this is exactly what I want to say about the important characteristic of the immortality of the spirit! The technique of focusing on artifacts looks simple, but because of the spirit, it is endless. ”

Song Lao smiled: "Why is it not left or right? Impartiality is the right way." ”

"For example, when a person walks in the aisle, the direction is very important, but it does not mean that you can't bypass the mountain, you can't detour when you meet the water, there is a cliff ahead, and you resolutely don't turn back and go straight, isn't that death?

No matter what direction we choose, it is enough for us to learn from the experience and make timely improvements.

Song Lao sighed and said: "It's really good that Xiao Dang is so old and already has such knowledge!"

In life, there are no more than two or three like-minded people, but most of the time they are lonely and lonely!

The years are not forgiving, and the old man will eventually go to the secluded mansion to see his old friends and old friends, so this world will still be your young people, cherish yourself, and do it for yourself!"

I sincerely thank Elder Song for his admonition.

In fact, Song Lao lived in seclusion most of the time, except for the occasional time when he had to go out to do something, his main activity was to paint non-stop.

It seems that the background of Shimashan is too dark and makes me feel depressed from time to time, but now I have finally found real happiness, that is, watching Song Lao's paintings.

Although the two colors on the paper are still black and white, the world in the painting intrigues me:

The color of the ink changes, the priority of the pen, the ghosts are happy and sad, the flowers bloom and fall, the shadows of the trees shake, and the distant mountains and rivers are ......

Suddenly it dawned on me that it would be great if my thoughts could be expressed with this and this ink!

What I once imagined and could not touch, now can be presented in another form on paper, allowing me to immerse myself in it, and I am happy, truly happy.

When he was painting, Song Lao didn't say much, and the expression on his face rarely changed, but what did it matter?

He painted, I watched, and suddenly I felt that it was not unacceptable for life to go on like this.

However, the business in my heart is always so troublesome, and I have to discuss it with Song Lao in the same way...... (To be continued.) )
