015, the pattern of etiquette (below)

The middle-aged man picked up the branch that was still skewered with a piece of barbecue, gently dusted his sleeves, and placed the wine jar and cup between him and the tiger baby, and the palace concubine who was kneeling there was instantly removed two feet back by a force. Gong Yan was pouring wine, and her body was inexplicably moved to the back, but the wine did not spill.

It was a hillside with shallow grass, and the weeds on the ground disappeared in an instant, and all of them mixed with the soil on the surface turned into fine sand-like powder, and the two-foot square ground became as smooth as water. The middle-aged man inadvertently revealed a terrifying supernatural power, but he was not deliberately revealing any means, but to do something else.

I saw him gently draw a few curved lines on the ground with a branch, and then asked with a smile, "Child, do you know what this is?"

Not only the tiger baby, but also Gong Yan, Hou Gang, and Pan Gu all stretched their necks and watched. Huwa lowered her head and looked at it for a long time, then tilted her head and looked at it for a while, then nodded and said: "Well, I know it when I look at it horizontally, this is the rune drawn by Emperor Taihao back then, one of the gossip, called Kan." It not only contains the mathematical principle of knotted rope, but also symbolizes water, and at the same time contains the principle of rheology in all things. ”

The middle-aged man was very satisfied and then asked, "It seems that the Venerable Elder has taught you this, but he should not have taught this." ...... Look at it again, what do I recognize, or what comes to mind?"

As he spoke, he drew something with a branch next to the "water pattern". The tiger baby was slightly stunned, and then smiled, although the lines depicted on the ground are very simple, it symbolizes the shape and meaning, but the thing is easy to guess, because the real thing is placed next to it, which is the wine jar.

And there was a divine thought in the middle-aged man's words, which was definitely not for him to guess the wine jar, but for the runes on the ground to symbolize something, as if he was playing a game with him. This kind of gameplay is understandable because he has also seen a lot of totems. All symbolize something with abstract runes.

Huwa replied with a smile: "You first drew the water pattern, and then drew this wine jar next to the water pattern, you know that it is wine at a glance, aren't we drinking?"

Gong Yan interjected weakly: "It turns out that it means wine, I didn't guess it." ”

Huwa waved her hand: "That's because you didn't drink." ”

The middle-aged man still laughed and said, "Why don't you say it's because she's stupid?...... So how do you feel?" he flicked his fingers and smoothed out the water streaks next to the jar.

Huwa squinted her eyes and said, "What I think of is wine, and what I see is not only the shape of this jar, but more importantly, what is this jar for?"

The middle-aged man nodded again and again: "Okay, okay." Okay, very good!" he said a few words, then looked at the tiger baby and said, "Kid, let's change the way we play, I'll come first, and then you will come again." ”

With a flick of his fingers, he smoothed out the pattern, and then drew something on the ground again. And the tiger baby's feeling changed instantly, and she sat on the side and watched. for the branch made a mark on the ground. All with a strange divine thought. At this moment, he could already confirm that this middle-aged man's cultivation was by no means limited to the sixth realm, at least above the seventh realm, and as for how high it might be. But he couldn't tell.

Because the divine means used by middle-aged people are not directly imprinted into the original god of the tiger baby, but given various lines drawn on the ground.

On the wall of Lu Village, there are also many patterns carved by the clansmen of the past dynasties. Most of the patterns are simple but very expressive, and you can identify various birds and beasts in the mountains, as well as scenes of people hunting. The savages portray these. It is a kind of expectation, hoping that the gods will protect and be able to hunt all kinds of prey smoothly in the mountains.

When Huwa was a child, she often stared at these nicks in a daze, as if she could vaguely feel the mood of those runes, or the ancestors who carved them, and what kind of information they conveyed to future generations.

Of course, the predecessors of Lu Village did not have such magical powers as middle-aged people, and at this time, there was no need for Huwa to associate and experience it himself, and there were all kinds of scenes imprinted into the Yuan Shen. Middle-aged people draw "talking" lines on the ground, and can "inform" complex information to others.

A simple line was drawn on the ground, and what the tiger baby saw was a plate. A few more lines were drawn on the plate, which were two silk strings made of beautiful jade, and then an altar appeared under the plate. The branch was briefly drawn on the right side of the altar, and what appeared in the tiger's mind was a person standing with his hands down.

Huwa couldn't help but ask, "Sir, is this the idea of the god who gives everything everything?"

The middle-aged man glanced at him: "You are very knowledgeable, and this is the kind of method I have used." However, the idea of the gods does not come out of nowhere, and it also involves people's observation and understanding of everything. ”

As he spoke, he put down the branch, and the thought of the god disappeared, leaving only such a very complex rune on the ground, which was similar to the various totems that the tiger baby had seen, but they were all different, and then asked, "Child, what is this?"

Huwa replied: "Sir has just given it the idea of a god, and the runes on the ground have explained what it means, this is a sacrifice. ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "You already have the cultivation of the four realms, and the primordial spirit is clear, and you can interpret these divine thoughts without hindrance, so we can communicate like this." But after I'm done, this rune stays here, is it just a ritual?"

Huwa's eyes lit up and said: "It is 'Li', it is a rune that symbolizes 'Li'." ”

The middle-aged man flicked his fingers, and the lines of the human figure on the right side of the altar were erased, and he drew a wine jar on the left side, but this time he didn't use the idea of the god, and then asked, "Child, what did you think of again?"

Huwa blinked and said, "It's still 'ceremony', just now you drew the person performing the ritual on the side of the altar, and now you have painted the wine used in the ritual on the other side." ”

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, flicked his fingers to erase the lines on the ground, and started painting again. This time he drew a man standing with his hands down, the meaning of which no longer needs to be explained, and then in front of this "man", he delicately drew an arc from the top to the bottom and to the side with the branches.

This arc brought the idea of the god again, and the tiger baby seemed to see a person holding a ritual ceremony, pouring wine to the ground, and the trajectory of the wine in the air formed that pattern. Huwa smiled and nodded: "You still draw 'li', the same scene, you use different runes to symbolize, but they all convey the same meaning." ”

The middle-aged man explained: "Etiquette is the text of reason, what I just demonstrated to you is the various changes of totem runes in this world, and the last one is the simplest, and you can draw it in a few clicks." ...... Kid, have another drink, and we'll play. ”

The two of them each took a glass of wine from the palace concubine and drank it all, and the middle-aged man drew horizontal and vertical lines on the ground, but it formed a strange totem. When the tiger baby saw these lines, what appeared in her mind was the stone that had just been cut open by the middle-aged man. This is because the idea of the god painted on the ground on the branch is very simple, and it is the texture that is revealed inside the stone after it is cut.

The middle-aged man stopped the branch and asked, "Child, what is this word?"

This is the first time that the middle-aged person used the name "word", in the previous concept of the tiger baby, "word" is a syllable in the language, but the middle-aged man used runes to draw the "word", and different meanings have different ways to draw. Huwa nodded and replied: "This should be the word 'Li', but it is not the word 'Li' of the ritual." ”

The middle-aged man just said that "etiquette is the text of reason", so looking at these totem-like runes he drew on the ground, can it also mean "words are words"? Huwa has never played such a fun game, and the more she plays, the more interesting she feels.

The middle-aged man smoothed out the lines on the ground with his air mana, and when the branches fell again, the lines were very simple, only outlining the left and right lines, with the idea of the gods. Before he could ask, Huwa looked at the field next to him and replied, "This is a 'person', you are painting a person working in the field." If you want to ask what kind of word it is, if it is a word, it is a 'person' word. ”

The middle-aged man did not speak, erased the lines on the ground and continued to paint, this time he drew a man standing upright with open hands, and drew a straight line at the foot of the person, representing the earth. Gong Yan suddenly spoke: "I know, Mr. is painting a king, a king on the earth, this is a 'king' character, my father's king." ”

If you want to interpret the idea of the gods clearly and unhindered, you must have at least four realms of cultivation, and it is more reluctant to cultivate below the three realms. But the idea of the gods given by the middle-aged people is very simple, and it doesn't hurt people, even ordinary people can vaguely sense it in their minds, but it's not as clear as the tiger baby.

The middle-aged man glanced at Gong Yuan and said: "You are not wrong about this word, but you should not call your father the father, but the father, he is only the king of the Xiangmu country, and there is no king Dabayuan." If you inadvertently always use this name, the rest of the four kingdoms of Ba Yuan will know about your father's petty ambition. ”

Wang Daba was originally just a little ambitious, this middle-aged man was so big that Gong Yan didn't dare to answer indiscriminately. Then the middle-aged man pointed at the tiger baby again and said, "You also have a branch in your hand, you can draw it." ”

Huwa scratched the back of her head and said in embarrassment: "Sir, I don't have the ability of yours. ...... If you want to draw words on the ground like you, for words, you must have at least seven realms of cultivation. ”

The middle-aged man glared and said, "Who said that? Since you are a monk of Ba Yuan, haven't you seen the totem of Ba Yuan? Then draw it for me to see!"

The totem mark of Pakistan, of course, Huwa is familiar with it, and the front of his national industrial token is engraved, and almost everyone knows it in this Ba Yuan. The totem that symbolizes Pakistan looks like a big snake, but its image has a standard appearance, and now the five countries of Pakistan are marked by this totem, although there are slight differences but basically the same, the tiger baby is drawn on the ground.
