Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Reward
Gan Shiyi looked at the talismans in front of the table, thinking about what the old man's intentions were.
I saw that the patriarch said with a smile: "What to do, you should change it to know!" ”
With that, he turned and left.
Gan Shiyi was slightly stunned at first, and then realized the intention of the patriarch.
The patriarch Dao mentioned to him many times that the Tao is not only cultivated by monks, but also by mortals.
And just now, Gan Shiyi also verified it personally.
With an ordinary iron ingot and an ordinary iron hammer, you can knock out a sword that carries the meaning of the Tao in your heart.
That ordinary rune paper, ordinary brush, what kind of rune seal can be drawn with the Tao?
This time, without the mention of the patriarch, Gan Shiyi could only grope alone.
He first looked at the talismans that had already been drawn, and then tried to draw them like a scoop of reeds, and the result was as miserable as a 'ghost drawing'.
"Hahaha..."
Gan Shiyi looked at the talisman he had drawn, didn't care, and laughed out loud with a natural expression.
After laughing, he dropped his pen and began to look around the study.
Soon, he found a secular book on drawing talismans from a pile of books.
When I opened the Taoist book, the first sentence at the beginning was: A little spiritual light is a talisman that draws all the ghosts and gods in the world.
After that, when talking about drawing talismans, we should meditate our body, mind, and mouth, only in this way can we be pious and draw the desired talisman.
At the end of the book, there is a simple poem: If you know the book charm, it will make the ghosts jump. I don't know the book runes, which makes the ghosts laugh.
After Gan Shiyi finished reading it, he smiled without saying a word, turned around and continued to walk around the study.
In the study, in addition to a large collection of books, there are also many calligraphy written by the patriarch on weekdays.
These calligraphy, just looking at it, Gan Shiyi can't take his eyes off it.
It seems to be a simple calligraphy, but it made Gan Shiyi see the shadow of the Tao, that is, the Tao Yun.
Just like Gan Shiyi's 'Chengdao' sword, it carries his own way.
Every word on this blank paper also carries the patriarch's own way.
Gan Shiyi stopped and looked at it for a while, trying to see from it what the old Dao understood about the Dao.
But after looking at it for a while, I couldn't see it.
In the end, Gan Shiyi did not try to draw the talisman again, but began to practice calligraphy on the desk.
The reason why this is the case is that the patriarch didn't teach him any sword moves before.
What Gan Shiyi wanted to learn was the swordsmanship and talisman making in the immortal cultivation world, not the swordsmanship and talisman making in the mortal world.
But the road is simple, and the different paths are the same.
The Tao is the same between the two.
Therefore, since you can't learn the swordsmanship and talisman making in the immortal realm, you can directly learn the way.
As long as you comprehend the Tao in it, it will be much easier to learn the swordsmanship and talisman making in the immortal world in the future.
Practicing characters is the same as practicing characters.
Gan Shiyi's practice of characters is not to practice various fonts, not to practice various symbols.
It's about practicing how to write and draw your own way on paper.
Just like before, he hammered his Tao into an iron ingot.
It's just that he just fused the Tao in his heart into the iron ingot, causing the 'sword' he created to not take shape.
Unlike the old Dao, it is a sword shape.
This is because his Tao is still too large and complex, too general, and not enough to sort out and integrate.
Now, Gan Shiyi plans to slowly sort out and integrate his own Tao through practicing calligraphy, and then write it on the characters.
When he can do the words like those words written by the patriarch, his 'sword' will gradually take shape.
In late autumn, the drizzle is light.
The hanging flower trees swayed with the wind out of golden flowers, and the breeze blew, carrying a wisp of fragrance to the mountains.
In the Qingyun Temple, many Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes were busy with joy while immersed in the fragrance of flowers.
"Feather Festival is coming again."
Gan Shiyi, who was standing at the table, put down the brush in his hand and slowly walked to the small courtyard.
"Well, it's coming again."
The patriarch who was lying on a chaise longue muttered softly with his eyes closed, and then gradually fell asleep again.
It's just that a year has passed, and the old man has become older and older.
When I first lived with Gan Shiyi, I often talked with him, but after instructing Gan Shiyi's swordsmanship, the whole person's spirit became more and more bad, and now, the whole person is also lazy and lazy, extremely sleepy.
And Gan Shiyi, who has lived here for a year, has also become more and more stable and kind, although he is still a young man, but the long hair, simple robes, and the simple deep meaning in his eyes will always make people forget his youthful appearance.
During this year, when Gan Shiyi arrived early, he went to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise and practice.
Then he held the sword and realized the Tao, and every time he had a deeper understanding of the Tao, he would hammer and forge it again.
To this day, although 'Chengdao' has not yet taken the form of a sword, it has changed from a thick, short, and ugly iron rod to a thick and short iron rod.
In the afternoon, Gan Shiyi would go to the study to practice calligraphy.
After a year of tempering, although he has not yet achieved phased results, with the combing of the Dao, it is also the result that will help remove the word 'ugly' on the Chengdao sword.
And in the evening, Gan Shiyi will look through the various books in the study and comprehend the various ways of the world.
In this year, if there is anything lacking, it is Gan Shiyi's cultivation.
Since that promotion to the third layer of qi training, although Gan Shiyi has cultivated diligently every day, he is still a little short of the fourth layer of qi training.
This is still with the help of the talent blessing of 'Indomitable', which is a cultivation speed of +7%.
It is really not an ordinary difficulty for a casual cultivator who has no resources to embark on the path of cultivating the truth.
And now, the Feather Festival is approaching, and Gan Shiyi remembers another thing.
He had promised the Wu family father and son a year ago that he would find a suitable method for Wu Yong to get started in a year, but now it is not far from that year's appointment, but he has not found it yet.
Moreover, Gan Shiyi also realized that he still had to find a way to find some immortal cultivation resources, such as the spirit stones in the immortal cultivation realm.
This spirit stone can not only be used to help with cultivation, but also can be exchanged for various spiritual objects and spells.
If you can exchange the spirit stones for the spells needed for the three rune seals, and prepare some talisman materials, maybe you can earn spirit stones through talisman making.
It's just that Gan Shiyi has nothing now, how can he find the method of entry that the Wu family's father and son want? And how to find the spirit stone?
Just when Gan Shiyi was full of sorrow, two figures suddenly appeared at the gate of the small courtyard.
"Gan Daoyou."
Hearing this call, Gan Shiyi hurriedly turned his head to look.
I saw that at the entrance of the small courtyard, there was a couple waiting for him with joy on their faces.
"Chang Daoyou, Lu Daoyou, why are you here?"
This couple is called Taoist friends, and naturally they are also cultivators.
And the two of them are a pair of casual cultivators who live in Qingcheng Mountain, and the three of them can get acquainted with each other, also because Gan Shiyi will go to the top of the mountain to practice every day, and it is inevitable that they will meet a few times in the mountain.
