Chapter 46 Practicing Drawing Symbols
After dealing with the early summer girl's injury, Li Qingxuan wiped her sweat and asked, "Uncle Jian, Captain Wang hasn't come back yet?" Uncle Jian, who was helping on the side, said: "Captain Wang hasn't come back yet, in addition, I saw that there were guests at home, so I bought some wine and meat dishes on my own initiative, and my son was tired for a day, do you want to eat some first?" Li Qingxuan nodded with a smile. Uncle Jian has always been thrifty, although Li Qingxuan showed thousands of taels of silver to let him spend money freely, but this old man has always been diligent and thrifty. When I saw a guest today, I was willing to spend money, but I thought it was for the sake of the host, so I didn't want to lose my courtesy.
Uncle Jian went to fetch meat, Li Qingxuan sat aside, and said secretly: "Why hasn't Wang Yuan come back yet? Could it be that something happened?" Wang Yuan knew that Li Qingxuan's martial arts were superb, and he saw him kill the master of internal strength with one move, so it was safe in the bamboo house, so he had already withdrawn from the treatment in early summer. After all, the follow-up of this matter is not simple, and it must be dealt with. Supposedly, it's time to come back. Wang Yuan's safety is not to worry, with his martial arts, there is no need to worry. But it's getting late, so why do you have to let the two girls live in a bamboo house?
Li Qingxuan thought about it and still felt that it was inappropriate, after all, Cui Luoshuang and Chu Xia were both girls who had not left the cabinet, how could they live in a man's house? If it is the children of the rivers and lakes, it doesn't matter, the key is that they are both members of the Cui family, although the current atmosphere is more open than the previous dynasty, but he has to think about the reputation of the Luoshuang girl. When it was completely dark, there was finally a sound outside the door. Somehow, Li Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief. He looked into the room, looking at the weak back of the light, and suddenly felt a little regretful.
Why did this guy Wang Yuanqing come back early? Li Qingxuan got up and went to open the door. Wang Yuan came on horseback and brought a group of guards. "Uncle Jian has already prepared food and drinks, and it seems that you have no time to spare. Li Qingxuan smiled: "It's okay, it just saved me a sum of money, this little bit of wine and food, Uncle Jian and I can eat again." Wang Yuan laughed and arched his hand. She was still asleep in early summer, but someone had already held her up. Cui Luoshuang bowed and thanked him. Li Qingxuan smiled: "Since you have met, how can you stand by and watch?"
Cui Luoshuang gave another salute, and when she was about to turn around, she paused again and said in a low voice: "Li Gongzi, I have a matter, I don't know if I should ask?" Li Qingxuan said to himself: "Miss Cui, what's the matter?" Cui Luoshuang paused and said, "Why did Gongzi Li happen to save us in the forest?" Li Qingxuan's body stiffened. Cui Luoshuang's face was embarrassed, and he said, "What I said to Chu Xia, didn't Gongzi hear it?"
Li Qingxuan was excited, and said with a straight face: "What did you say?" Cui Luoshuang saw that his handsome face showed a look of doubt, with three points of confusion in his eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief, and was silent for a moment, her face was slightly red, and her voice said imperceptibly: "The demeanor of the child, the performance is so good, it seems that he has never heard it." With that, she couldn't help but be shy and hurriedly boarded the car.
Li Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief and said secretly: "Fortunately, I can act well for three points, seven points for confusion and three points for confusion, even Miss Luoshuang is amazed." If it weren't for the fact that the interpretation was so realistic, it would have been seen through seriously, and it was not good to eavesdrop on the girl's house. He gave a secret compliment, and turned into the bamboo house. In an instant, his body stiffened, as if he had been struck by thunder, and he paused for a long time. "That's not right... Forehead... Played well ......"
Li Qingxuan has already mastered the fire talisman and entered the room. There is still more than half a month to go west to Chang'an. Li Qingxuan is determined to start refining the golden pill tomorrow. But the stakes are very high, so he wants to try how special this fire talisman is, so that nothing will happen at that time. These days, he's drawn the fire talisman countless times, but it's the first time he's used it. This time, he used the talisman pen and cinnabar sent by the girl in early summer.
These two things come from Zhongnan Mountain, one of the holy places of Taoism in the Tang Dynasty. Among the things sent by Zhongnan Mountain in early summer, the dust is useless to him, and the sachet can calm his mind, but he is really angry in his body, and his spirit is refreshing, and he doesn't need it. However, Uncle Jian was a little older, and Li Qingxuan handed it over to Uncle Jian that night. The spices in the sachet are ground into powder with a kind of tree on Zhongnan Mountain, five kinds of strange flowers, which have the effect of concentrating and calming the spirit, and are famous. And among the five kinds of strange flowers, four are recorded in the green bag book.
"Fire charms, talismans. Li Qingxuan gently closed Master Zhang Laodao's notes. That was Zhang Lao Dao's views on cultivation and Fu Dao, with his background in the past hundred years, he had a different opinion. Zhang Laodao has practiced for nearly a hundred years, looking for immortals and asking, but he can't enter the door, but thinks hard day and night, analyzing the exercises, spells, and runes one by one. Even if he is a cultivator who exudes his true qi, most of them are not as far-reaching and clear as he is. According to the notes, there is infinite aura between heaven and earth, the spiritual qi contains the water of the five elements, the hot qi contains the fire of the five elements, the soil of the five elements between the smoke and dust, the wood of the five elements in the fragrance of the forest, and the gold of the five elements hidden between the mountains and rocks.
The Tao Te Ching says that the Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, two to three, and three to all things. All things are negative yin and embrace yang, and they are impulsive and peaceful. And it is said that yin and yang must be combined with the five elements, and the five elements must be combined with yin and yang. And the Fu Dao is to find a suitable trajectory according to a specific trajectory, and detain the qi of the five elements of heaven and earth in it. For example, carving a trench in the ground and introducing water flow is a kind of trajectory. The shape of making gold and iron into teapots and teacups is a kind of trajectory. When water is poured into it, it changes according to the shape of the gold and iron it carries. Pour it into a disc and the water is round. Pour into a box, the water is square.
This shape is the thinnest trajectory. The talisman is much more subtle, it is based on the trajectory, the qi of the five elements of heaven and earth is contained in it, and it is imprisoned in it. "This is true not only of water, but of all things, which changes with the external environment. "It is rumored that some people grow strange melons and fruits, and put them in clay pots when they first grow, and after the melons and fruits are ripe, the melons and fruits are shaped, and even if the clay pots are broken, the melons and fruits are very different from ordinary melons and fruits. Li Qingxuan secretly thought to himself: "If the copper and iron are placed in one place, after a period of time, their surfaces will be blended, and in that blending place, the copper and iron will be fused, regardless of each other." ”
"This is what Master and his old man think?" Everything in heaven and earth changes instantly, and when flints collide, sparks can be born. But perhaps in a certain environment, a similar effect can be produced by someone waving a branch, resulting in a flame. Just as the flame in the water will be extinguished, and the water in the fire will be boiled. The cry in the wasteland is long and loud, and the cry in the snowy mountains will cause avalanches, and the heavens and the earth will crack, all of which are the same thing, everything in the world will change with time and environment.
And so on, it's a specific environment. Different environments, different trajectories, give birth to different mutations. When these trajectories are gradually explored and classified according to different effects, this type of trajectory is called a talisman, and eventually evolves into a talisman. "The way of the rune is mysterious and mysterious. Li Qingxuan said to himself: "The Taoist priests in the Taoist temple on the mountain know how to draw talismans, and they also know that different talismans are written differently. But when practicing runes, I must also remember which kind of rune is going to be written, whether it belongs to the tranquilizing rune paper, or the exorcism rune paper or something, so I write it down, but I don't know why there is such a change. ”
In the eyes of Taoist priests who are proficient in talismans, these must also be mysterious, unfathomable, and difficult to fathom. Li Qingxuan smiled to himself: "Presumably, only my master will be like this, he encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation, so he pondered these things, investigated their essence, and figured out from the root." "Countless kinds of runes, there are countless kinds of pen directions, vast and deep, presumably in the eyes of the characters who practice runes, there are those who figure out the root of the idle work, it is better to memorize more runes.
"You can't make a mistake when you draw a symbol, if you miss it by a millimeter, you will miss it by a thousand miles, and you will draw a talisman. Li Qingxuan said in his heart: "If it is based on Master's opinion, the direction of the rune is the mysterious trajectory of the Qi of the Five Elements. However, the method of drawing talismans does not allow for a little error, that is, it is not consistent enough with the subtle trajectory of the qi that detains the five elements, so it is invalid. Only when it coincides with the mysterious trajectory between heaven and earth can it be regarded as an effective talisman. ”
Fortunately, he has been practicing for many days, and his starting point is already extremely stable, and his eyesight after the improvement of Jindan Lingshui is far more than several times better than that of ordinary people. For example, in the middle of the night, he doesn't need lights, and his vision is still like day, and his vision is very vivid and real. With his eyesight, as long as he held his breath and concentrated, even the crossbow arrows he shot became slow and clear. Looking at the runes so carefully, it is naturally not bad at all. Since practicing the sword, his arm is extremely stable, and he has not made the slightest mistake in writing. The talisman pen is the spiritual wood of Zhongnan Mountain as the rod, the spirit fox is made of millimeters, and the cinnabar is made of secret, which is extremely good.
Li Qingxuan was calm, and then concentrated on the pen and stroke. Unconsciously, the true qi has been transported, and no visions have occurred during the period. He drew a fire talisman on the ground with a talisman and a fire talisman on the wooden table. It looked like there were just some runes drawn, no steaming, and no mysterious vision of flames soaring into the air. Usually, just like ordinary people write. Seeing that it was so calm and there was no vision, Li Qingxuan was a little upset, and he didn't know if it could be done.
He calmed down and meditated in his heart. After a few moments, he had an idea, and set up a pile of dry wood branches from the fire talisman drawn on the ground, and ignited a flame. An iron pot was set up on the fire and half a pot of water was placed. "It seems...... It's useless?" Li Qingxuan frowned slightly, he originally thought that there was no vision on the surface, and the fire talisman inside coincided with the mysterious trajectory between heaven and earth, which should make the flames even hotter. But the heat in the room did not rise, and the water in the pot did not boil as quickly as expected, and it took a long time for white smoke to rise, no different from the usual boiling water.
The fire talisman he drew didn't seem to have any effect? Li Qingxuan was a little disheartened. I thought it would be steaming hot, enveloping the room. Or is there a fire wheel spitting? No matter how bad it is, the fire talisman written on the wooden table should also ignite a flame? He was a little distraught, and suddenly a sense of irritability rose. He kicked the cauldron down, extinguishing the flames, and then turned away.
Suddenly, Li Qingxuan raised his eyebrows, and then turned around. White smoke curled above the fire, and flames flickered. Li Qingxuan only said that he had not extinguished the flames before, so he extinguished them again. A moment later, white smoke rose again, and the flames rose again. Li Qingxuan's heart moved, he looked at this flame carefully, only to see that after a while, the flame became more and more vigorous, and it was already a pile of flames, which was the same as before it was extinguished.
