Chapter 40 The Master Comes North to Cross a Thousand Mountains
Weighing the light, Lin Zhao laid the "Basic Talisman" flat on the table and read it carefully.
The beginning of "Basic Talismans" says: "Those who use talismans are the essence of the Tao, the simple ink of cloth, and the essence of things."
The basic talisman is divided into three schools, one of which is mainly in the shape of the avenue, painted on the talisman and driven by the vitality of heaven and earth; the other is based on ghosts and gods, mostly mobilizing, respectfully, and pardoning, driving the power of ghosts and gods in the underworld; the third is a combination of the first two, which is the most powerful, but the basic talisman is only introduced, without the slightest drawing method.
Talisman is a very advanced science, just to learn how to draw it, you need to have intelligence beyond ordinary people. The so-called "drawing a talisman without knowing the trick will make the ghosts and gods laugh; if you know the trick of drawing a talisman, you will be shocked by the ghosts and gods."
The talisman can't learn at home, and the talisman drawn is a piece of waste paper. Some high-level talismans require the drawing process to be drawn by the gods, while others require stepping on the gang and reciting the mantra.
Since then, Lin Zhao has gone to the store every day, and when there are customers, he sells talismans, and when no one comes, he takes out the "Basic Talisman" and reads it carefully. Although I have already memorized it by heart, I read the book a thousand times, and the meaning is self-evident, so I read it in the book, which is the only way.
Lin Zhao didn't think about starting to learn talisman now, because his foundation was too weak, and he didn't understand many special terms, let alone understand the Great Dao, even if he could draw its shape, it would be useless.
If you don't know it, the talisman drawn will not be bold. Fu gall is the soul of a talisman and is the master, and whether a talisman can fully play its role depends to a large extent on whether there is a talisman to guard it.
In addition, Lin Zhao believes that now is not the time. Before entering the fairy gate, I don't know the avenue, just like a blind man touching an elephant, to learn the talisman, isn't it a joke?
In a blink of an eye, Lin Zhao had been to the "Qin Clan's Fu Pavilion for twelve or thirteen days".
In the evening of this day, Lin Zhao returned to the Xianyuan Inn and was suddenly stopped by the boss.
The owner of Xianyuan Inn is surnamed He, with a long beard over his chest, a round face and a rich face, and a "family with a good field". In fact, he is also a monk, but he is swaying around during the Qi refining period, and he cannot enter the Peiyuan realm, and his roots and bones are limited.
Boss He has a little relationship with the deacon hall of the outer courtyard of Qingwei Sect, and he can get some internal information about opening the mountain and accepting disciples, so every time Qingwei Sect opens the mountain gate and holds a triennial ceremony to accept disciples, those who understand the door will choose the Xianyuan Inn to live.
"Oh, I don't know why the boss stopped the kid, what do you have to say?" Lin Zhao was generous, smiling and signaling to the innkeeper.
"Lin Gongzi, the fire dragon predecessors of the Qingwei Sect came to look for you during the day, but you were not there, so I left you a letter. After speaking, Boss He raised his hand and signaled, holding a thin letter between his fingers, with a polite tone and a friendly expression.
"It's the Fire Dragon Immortal Chief, thank you for Shopkeeper He!" Lin Zhao took the letterhead and said with a smile. Then he nodded to Boss He again and turned back to his guest room courtyard.
Boss He looked at Lin Zhao's departing back, with a smile on his face and eyes hooked into a line. Silently thought to himself, this Lin Gongzi seems to have a relationship in Qingwei Sect, and he can show more favor in the future and win over the relationship.
Lin Zhao didn't bother to pay attention to Boss He, and went back to the room to open the letter. After reading it, there was a slight disappointment on his face, but then he became casual again.
The Fire Dragon Daoist explained in the letter that he had several senior brothers who were not in the Qingwei Sect, and two others were unwilling to accept disciples, and several friends in the sect also had no plans to accept apprentices for the time being, and apologized for this! I hope to see Lin Zhaoyunyun in the apprenticeship ceremony.
Lin Zhao also expected this situation, it all depends on fate, and it is normal for some people to be reluctant to take apprentices.
The next day, Lin Zhao continued to go to the "Qin Clan's Fu Pavilion", and the letter of the Fire Dragon Daoist had no effect on him at all.
Outside Weishan City, a sword light paused. Above the sword light, there was a white-haired old man, who was reaching out to calculate. After half a ring, he laughed, directly pressed the sword light, fell to the ground, and then walked towards Weishan City.
After the white-haired old man entered the city, he stopped and stopped all the way, often pinching in his hands, and finally walked towards the monk's market.
Near noon, there were no customers in the "Qin's Fu Pavilion", and Lin Zhao sat peacefully on the chair, holding a copy of "Basic Fu Urn" in his hand. While watching and meditating, the understanding and comprehension of the way of the talisman in his mind kept bursting out, and Lin Zhao didn't pay attention to it, just silently reading.
The day after he got the "Basic Talisman", Lin Zhao was able to memorize it backwards, but he still read it silently every day, and every time he read it, his understanding of the way of the talisman deepened.
At this time, outside the "Qin Clan's Fu Pavilion", the white-haired old man was standing at the door, and he didn't enter, and he counted for a while, and then his face showed joy.
Suddenly, Lin Zhao, who was looking down at a book, felt as if someone had entered the store, although there was no sound or movement, but a dark intuition clearly told him that someone had come in the store. It is precisely after the martial arts practice to "hold the Dan" that he begins to slowly improve his mental intuition, which is what he feels.
Raising his head, Lin Zhao saw a white-haired old man, the old man's hair was like frost, his long eyebrows hung down on both sides of his eyes, his face was clear, he was dressed in a cyan robe, his face was ruddy, and he was holding a white whisk in his hand.
At this time, the old man was looking at himself. Lin Zhao didn't dare to slack off, and greeted respectfully: "Immortal Chang wants to buy a talisman, I don't know what the requirements are, the kid can recommend one or two." ”
The white-haired old man didn't speak, just stared at Lin Zhao tightly, his eyes becoming more and more satisfied. Lin Zhao beat the drum in his heart, and secretly complained: Immortal Chief, I am not your son who has been separated for many years, I swear by my character.
Although there were all kinds of thoughts flashing in his heart, Lin Zhao didn't dare to slack off at all, he had to be in awe of any immortal elder, otherwise he wouldn't know how to die.
Suddenly, the white-haired old man's eyes seemed to turn into a ball of lightning light, dazzling. Lin Zhao was a little uneasy in his heart, this white-haired old man looked like a person with advanced cultivation, and he didn't know what he wanted to do.
"Okay, good, good! It's not in vain that I've been waiting for twenty-eight years, flying more than 200,000 miles, and calculating all the way, and finally found you, in vain!" The white-haired old man looked happy, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was talking to Lin Zhao.
"What?" Even though Lin Zhao had extraordinary intelligence, he didn't understand the situation at all at this time, and according to any logical reasoning, or causal association, he couldn't think of a situation that appeared.
"Immortal Chief, don't worry, sit down and rest, let's talk slowly!" Lin Zhao said respectfully, in a gentle and clear tone, to the white-haired old man.
"Well, you're a buddy here?" the white-haired old man asked casually, sitting on the Taishi's chair.
"Yes, the boy has been here for a short time. Lin Zhao also sat aside and responded.
"The old Taoist Shenxiao Sect is too empty, more than ten days ago, I was meditating in the cave, and suddenly on a whim, I learned that the time to accept disciples had come. So I searched all the way from the cave, calculated the direction, crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and traveled more than 200,000 miles, but fortunately, there were no big twists and turns, and I finally found you. The white-haired old man said with a smile, obviously in a very good mood.
Opening his mouth, Lin Zhao didn't know where to start. I can't help but think of the dialogue I saw in the film and television in my previous life: I see that your bones are strange, and I want to take you as an apprentice, and the task of saving the world will be handed over to you in the future!
If you judge with reason, then the current situation is incredible. But Lin Zhao had an intuition deep in his heart that what the white-haired old man in front of him said was true.
Lin Zhao decided to follow his feelings, so he confirmed again to the white-haired old man: "Immortal Chief, but you want to accept the kid as an apprentice and teach the immortal method?"
The Taixu Daoist nodded with a smile.
Lin Zhao spoke again: "It's not a kid's trick, it's not hypocrisy, it's just a matter of apprenticeship, it's too important for a kid, so I want to know more, and I ask the immortal chief to forgive me!" After speaking, he got up and bowed deeply.
When the Taixu Daoist heard this, he couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on his face, but he felt that the apprentice in front of him was steady and thoughtful, and he didn't have the frizziness and frivolity of a teenager, which was really rare.
As the two slowly communicated, Lin Zhao knew that the Shenxiao Sect where the white-haired old man was located was also a major sect in the cultivation world, but the mountain gate was not in Lingzhou in the Southern Regions, and the disciples of the sect often went down the mountain to subdue demons and eliminate demons.
For Lin Zhao, knowing this is enough. Since you are apprenticing, of course, the stronger the strength of the sect you are worshipping, the better, and it is best to be a decent sect.
In fact, there is another thought in Lin Zhao's heart, if there is really no way in the end, it is inevitable to worship the evil sect.
Lin Zhao knew that his great opportunity had come, so he got up and tidied up his clothes, and solemnly saluted to the Taixu Taoist above, bowing three times and bowing nine times.
Taixu Daoist smiled, stroked his long beard, looked at Lin Zhao's solemn expression, solemnly saluted, and his heart was also extremely comfortable.
Twenty-eight years ago, the Taixu Taoist accidentally felt from the fixed realm that he would accept another disciple in the future, so he used the innate god number to calculate, his future disciple would be in the Southern Regions Lingzhou, so he took the initiative to ask the sect to ask for help, stationed in the Shenxiao Sect Nanling Academy.
This is twenty-eight years, and today it is considered a complete deed.
"Apprentice, get up and go to the teacher today. When you return to the sect, you can make up the apprenticeship ceremony for the teacher! You still have affairs to deal with, and if you have nothing important, you can go back to the mountain to practice with the teacher. "It's too void and humane.
"There are one or two things that can be dealt with quickly. Lin Zhao bowed and replied.
Now that he has worshiped the Master, he has to resign from his errand in the Fu Pavilion. So he found Qin Chengzhi, explained the reason, and said goodbye to the errand.
When Qin Chengzhi heard that Lin Zhao worshiped a master as a teacher, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and congratulated Lin Zhao with a smile on his face, but he was jealous in his heart. The face is a little ugly. Lin Zhao didn't care about it, he said goodbye and left, and he didn't want the reward for these ten days.
Watching Lin Zhao's master and apprentice leave, Qin Chengzhi remembered Lin Zhao's salary, and he was also annoyed with himself, since he had already wanted to befriend him in Weimo, how could he be jealous again!
Regardless of Qin Chengzhi's complicated mentality, Lin Zhao returned to the Xianyuan Inn with the Taixu Daoist, and first invited the master to his room to rest.
Then find Boss He and leave a letter for the Fire Dragon Daoist so that he can have an explanation. In any case, the Fire Dragon Dao people are kind to Lin Zhao. Receive the kindness of people, and repay it with a spring. Lin Zhao thought about it, and this favor could only be repaid in the future.
Lin Zhao asked Boss He to arrange the best table of banquets and send them to the guest room. It's a pity that Taixu Zhenren has already opened up the valley and has not eaten the fireworks in the world for many years, so Lin Zhao had to take care of his appetite.
Early in the morning of the second day, the Taixu Daoist released a treasure boat, carrying Lin Zhao, and headed north in the air!
More than ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and on this day, the Fire Dragon Daoist suddenly appeared at the Xianyuan Inn, looking joyful, and asked Boss He about Lin Zhao's whereabouts.
When he got the book, he realized that Lin Zhao had already worshiped the Master and followed the Master back to the mountain to practice, and he was immediately annoyed. The mouth went back and forth: "One step late! One step late!!"
Exactly: Dayan God calculates the master and apprentice, and the mystery has been performed for 30 years.
