Chapter 2: Writings Through the Ages

"Whew-" Yi Chen woke up suddenly and rubbed his eyes vigorously.

The blazing light was gone, but there was a burning sensation in the eyes, and it took a while for it to dissipate.

This dream, it's so strange!

Especially the tall figure wrapped in flames, it was even more realistic!

And his words are also strange and even inexplicable.

But this is not the point, the key is the kind of tremor that comes from the depths of the soul - Yi Chen can clearly feel that this sentence is not ringing in his ears, but directly in his heart!

Damn, did Lao Tzu hit a ghost......

As he spoke, he left his desk and went into the yard to fetch water and wash his face.

The cold water slid across his cheeks, finally calming Yi Chen's thoughts.

The weather was fine tonight, with the moon hanging high in the sky and the stars twinkling, illuminating the courtyard slightly.

Yi Chen looked up at the sky, and just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but saw a meteor passing through the sky, and it was the back mountain.

Thinking of the dream just now, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart - damn, the back mountain tomorrow night...... What's the mystery?

After returning to the house, he thought about it and asked for it to no avail, so he gradually fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Yi Chen was half-asleep and half-awake when he suddenly heard a thunderbolt, and suddenly woke up and jumped.

As if in response to him, in the sky, another thunderbolt suddenly sounded, the sound shook all over the world, and the window lattice candlesticks shook non-stop!

"Damn, what kind of thunder is it early in the morning......" Yi Chen was completely sleepy, and complained angrily while putting on his shoes.

"Hey, young master, are you awake?" A small head suddenly poked out of the field of vision, looking about twelve or thirteen years old, with bright eyes and bright teeth, skin like clotted fat, and two bundles of rings jumped and jumped with the leaning action, which was very delicate and delicate.

"Hmm. Yi Chen nodded, and said, "Qingyun, go and help me get an umbrella." ”

"Umbrella?" the little girl glared at the boss with a pair of dark eyes, "Why umbrellas?"

"Isn't it raining?" Yi Chen stood up and walked outside.

"What's the matter, young master, you're sleeping. The little girl grinned and went out.

Yi Chen went out to take a look, it turned out that the morning sun in the sky was slightly dewy, and the light clouds were rolling, it was a good weather, how could there be any signs of rain?

But the thunder ...... He couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction of the back mountain.

Sure enough, a dark cloud hung over the back mountain, covering the top of the mountain until it was halfway up the mountain!

A bright electric light shone brightly......

Boom! Another thunder rolling!!

Yi Chen's eyes were dazzled by the bright light of lightning, and he couldn't help but stick out his tongue.

He could see that it was not a naturally formed thunderstorm cloud, but a "Heavenly Thunder Demon Great Array" formed by a talisman master who laid down a talisman array and attracted the surrounding heaven and earth Yuan Force!

Looking at the coverage of this thundercloud, the grade of this array is quite not low, not to mention the power, and I don't know who the master of the array is.

Yi Chen looked at it for a while, and then stopped looking at it, his newborn body was already twelve years old this year, in other words, he had lived in this place called Yongle Town for twelve years, how could he not understand the situation?

In the back mountain, there have always been many spirits, monsters and beasts, ordinary people don't even dare to approach, only people with high skills and courage dare to go up the mountain to hunt and collect medicine.

As for today's situation, it is estimated that which master went to the back mountain to catch demons, right?

Yi Chen has been here for a long time, and he has long been surprised by this, so after washing up, he said goodbye to his mother and Qingyun and went straight to the academy.

As early as more than 1,300 years ago, Emperor Tianwu opened the academy widely, recruiting people with lofty ideals to learn the way of Fu Gong, no matter rich or poor, as long as they want to learn, they can enter his disciples.

After he swept the ** and unified the country, he carried forward this tradition to the extreme!

Under the vigorous promotion of the emperor, academies began to be established all over the country, and the emperor's disciples and grandchildren went to teach, and further carried forward the way of the talisman and even prevailed in the world.

Even in such a big place as Yongle Town, there is actually a White Horse Academy, which is said to have been established more than 600 years ago and has a long history, and the children of nearby villages and towns basically go to school here, and Yi Chen is no exception.

When he arrived at the academy, it was almost time for the class to start, and the master glared, Yi Chen quickly found his place and sat down, spread out the book, and read it aloud.

The morning class is reading and drawing symbols, and you can see that this world also has the way of Confucius and Mencius, the saying of Lao Zhuang, and the contention of a hundred schools.

At first, Yi Chen was puzzled, why did the civilizations of two different worlds have such a high degree of similarity?

Later, he was relieved - the world was already like this anyway, so what could he do if he was confused? Individuals can't change the environment, they can only obediently adapt to the environment.

Thanks to the education he received in his previous life, Yi Chen's cultural classes were excellent and ranked among the best in the academy.

After all, he is a traverser, and he was an adult in his twenties in his previous life, and he came here to compare his results with a group of little hairy children, and he really shouldn't wipe his neck.

As for the talismans...... Yi Chen hates these two words the most now - no, to be precise, it is love and hate!

The talisman in this world is completely different from the talisman in his impression! There are not so many strange symbols that are crooked and twisted like the book of heaven, the talisman is the word, and the word is the talisman !

It is said that the talisman of ancient times is not like this, but who knows that 1,300 years ago, the emperor was born out of thin air, and created his own two instruments, four elephants, gossip runes, and even the sixteen characters of mixed yuan, thirty-six characters of Tiangang, seventy-two characters of earth evil, and so on.

These talismans are all pure Chinese characters, written neatly one stroke at a time, once the talisman is stimulated, it can attract all kinds of heaven and earth Yuan power, which is extremely powerful!

After Yi Chen was familiar with the history books of this world, he couldn't help but admire this Tianwu Emperor so much!

His grandmother's, this person can actually use the Chinese characters handed down by his ancestors as the foundation, and he has created a set of power system by himself! With the talisman master himself as the conductor and the characters as the medium, he communicates with the Yuan Force of Heaven and Earth, and then wields the power of Heaven and Earth!

What a wonderful!!! What an awesome!

As for why the characters can be used to communicate with the Heaven and Earth Yuan Force...... This is not within the scope of Yi Chen's research, maybe this is the difference between different worlds, right?

In this world, the rules of heaven and earth are like this, who dares to question it!?

In addition, there are three kinds of symbols: painting, sound, and text, and there is not much difference in power except for the different mediums.

Think back then, the emperor left behind the four major systems of calligraphy, painting, music and literature, how brilliant it was!

It is a pity that more than 1,000 years have passed, and there are not many people who use the two kinds of painting and sound characters, and they are almost lost.

Yi Chen was not interested in the talisman at first, but when he learned about this, he was almost crazy with joy!

He's a traverser, and of course he knows where his strengths lie......

At the beginning, the emperor created characters and left a set of standard calligraphy, which later generations followed suit and was honored as "Emperor Book".

Yi Chen had seen the Emperor's handwriting—of course, an engraved plate.

To put it bluntly, the so-called emperor's book is almost the same as the big seal, stroke by stroke, square, like a knife and axe, between the lines there is a natural and simple atmosphere, the words are full of meaning, and the charm is long.

In view of the fact that the emperor's book was too complicated and there were many strokes, it was very troublesome to write, which was not conducive to implementation, the emperor devoted himself to improving it in his later years, and finally introduced several book styles.

Yi Chen read it through, and felt that it was not much different from the emperor's book, and ordinary people couldn't learn it at all.

Facts have proved that the evolution of words is far from being possible by individual efforts alone, no matter how talented this person is!

With the change of stars and the change of the world, countless genius Fu masters have sprung up one after another, leaving their names in the history books.

Among them, those who have created one or several types of books are undoubtedly the most dazzling existence!

Seal script, official script, regular script, line script, cursive script......

Various fonts have been developed, various scripts have been created, and more variants have evolved over time.

These developers, if placed on the earth, are calligraphy everyone!

But in this magical world, they have another shining name - the Fu Master!

Yi Chen is from the earth, I don't know how many kinds of fonts I have seen, and the calligraphy on the earth is not vegetarian, and the calligraphy created is not inferior to this world, and even better!

It's a pity that on Earth, this thing is nothing more than an art, nothing more.

However, in this Da Luo, the power of the talisman is enough to shake the earth, turning the sea and the river upside down!

Yi Chen was very fortunate that he had come to this world, because there were only some basic fonts here, plus the calligraphy that the great masters had worked hard to create for more than 1,300 years...... Well, that's all.

You Da Luo, there are seals, subordinates, Kai, lines, and grass.

However, do you have a golden script, a big seal, a small seal, a stone drum script, and a simple book?

Do you have an ancient li, a modern li, a Qin li, and a Han li?

Do you have Wei Bei, Tang Kai, Song Kai, and Yuan Kai?

Do you have chapter grass, present grass, row grass, and wild grass?

No, not at all!

In other words, similar fonts may have evolved, but they are not exactly the same, and this slight difference will lead to a very different way of using the talismans.

Speaking of the book style, the book style created by the masters of this world is of course different from the masters on the earth, coupled with the changes of the times, the inheritance of the torch, and the development of this era, it is really far from it.

This is the collective difference brought about by the contingency of the individual, and there is nothing to say.

Yi Chen knew that there was no book saint Wang Xizhi in this world, and naturally there would be no son Wang Xianzhi.

There is no north tablet and south post here, and there is no Sui book and Tang book.

There is no Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, and Chu Suiliang.

There is no Yan Zhenqing or Liu Gongquan.

Zhang Xu, Huaisu, I don't know where the shadow is.

Yang Ning and Li Yu don't know where they are.

Su Shi, Mi Fu, Cai Xiang, Huang Tingjian, has been in another world as an ancient.

Lu You, Zhu Xi, Wen Tianxiang, and Zhao Mengfu could not cross the time and space and come here to shine the light.

There are too many, too many to count......

For Yi Chen, the achievements of these masters in his hometown are certainly something to be proud of.

At the same time, he also knows very well that if these "Chinese calligraphy" are published, it will bring a huge shock to this world where the Tao is respected!!

But...... But he couldn't.

The reason for this...... Quite simply, he doesn't have runes.

No matter how well you write and how well you draw, without the power of the runes, it is all for nothing!

In the past seven or eight years, Yi Chen has made a lot of attempts and tried countless times, but in the end there are only two words: failure.

Even if he fought for his own life, he couldn't cultivate the slightest trace of talisman, which was really a great tragedy!

Without the power of the charm, no matter how good his writing is and how good his articles are, what is the use?

Tragedy! Great tragedy!!

Yi Chen cursed the sky countless times, but all he got was loss, confusion and hesitation.

In the past two years, he has gradually lost this heart, but today, for some reason, as soon as he saw the words in the book, he felt his eyes swell, and some wonderful residual thoughts seemed to float through his mind......
