Chapter 10: Lesson 1
His gaze swept over the more than thirty children in the class, looking at a pair of big eyes staring at him, Lu Shi asked, "Can anyone tell me why you want to go to the Immortal Academy?"
"I said, I'll say it first. Erhu stood up with a sudden.
"My father said that as long as I can become an immortal, I can marry the second girl from the next village. ”
As soon as these words fell, the hall burst into laughter.
"Laugh at what a laugh. Erhu glared at the children around him.
"Master Lu, I want to cultivate immortals because my third uncle is an immortal cultivator, and there is delicious food every day. ”
It was the eldest brother of Uncle Dumb's family who spoke.
Dumb shook his head, he didn't expect that the eldest brother and him would be the same idea before.
Immature!
It's just that Dumb's thoughts are a little different at this time, and he doesn't want to disappoint his mother.
He was going to buy his mother a hundred stoves.
Dumb felt that his shoulders were heavy, and his little face was solemn.
The children in the Immortal Cultivation Courtyard were babbling nonsense.
Lu Shi let the children talk to their heart's content.
After watching each child finish speaking, Lu Shi spoke, "Then do you know how to cultivate immortals?"
Master Lu did not correct that the child should not say cultivating immortals, but should say cultivating the Tao or cultivating the truth.
Because in the eyes of children, there is no difference between the two.
"I don't know!" the children cried out in a mess.
A pair of big curious eyes looked at the lander.
Lu Shi smiled slightly, and took out a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
In front of all the children, Master Lu folded the paper into a butterfly and asked, "Children, you say, can it fly?"
The children shook their heads in unison, "You can't fly." ”
Lu Shi smiled, "Why can't you fly?"
The children scratched their ears and cheeks, and Dumb was full of doubts even though he was precocious, and shook his head as everyone said, "I don't know." ”
Lu Shi slowly spoke, "That's because the Dao is not running in its body. ”
The children and Dumb were confused.
Lu Shi smiled slightly, lifted the talisman pen, dipped it in cinnabar, used his spiritual power, and drew it on the butterfly.
The pen falls smoothly, like flowing water, indescribably ethereal and smart.
In a moment, a few simple flying formations were formed with one stroke.
Then, I only heard Lu Shi whisper softly, "Cheng." ”
The butterfly made of rune paper suddenly flew low in the air, and the butterfly was good in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a large butterfly of more than one meter.
Lu Shi smiled and said, "Who wants to come up and ride?"
"I'll come, I'll come. The children shouted.
At this time, Dumb had already run to the paper butterfly at some point, grabbed the butterfly's wings and pulled it twice.
Seeing that it was quite stable, he jumped and landed on the back of the butterfly.
The butterflies flew higher and higher to the roof of the shed.
Dumb clutched the butterfly's neck tightly, feeling very funny.
"Wow....... It's amazing!"
"Dumb, you're shameless. ”
"Master Lu, I want to learn this. ”
"Master Lu, I also want to learn. ”
"I'm going to learn too. ”
The children shouted excitedly.
Lu Shi said again at this time, "Do you know why butterflies fly now?"
"Because Master Lu paints on butterflies. A child said.
"No, it's because Master Lu let the butterfly live. ”
The children chattered, and Dumb suddenly spoke, "It's because the Tao runs in the butterfly's body." ”
Lu Shi looked up at Dumb, and then smiled, "You're all right. ”
"Lu Shi paints and makes the Tao run in the butterfly's body, and the butterfly comes to life. ”
"The Tao is a driving force. ”
"It's true for butterflies, it's true for us people. ”
"For example, Erhu, you can eat, sleep, and have the idea of marrying Erya, which is the result of the Great Dao running in your body. ”
"The so-called cultivation of immortals is this kind of way, this kind of way that drives people. ”
Master Lu said concisely, the children who were originally ignorant were still ignorant, but they had a great interest in cultivation, and they knew that as long as they cultivated the Tao, they could make a butterfly fly.
"Children, do you want to learn how to use the Tao?"
"Yes. The children spoke in unison.
"If we want to learn the Tao, we must know the words, read through the scriptures, understand the heavens and the earth, and finally find our own Tao. ”
"Today, let's first learn about text and words. ”
As he spoke, Lu Shi's fingers slid in the air, and a (text) character floated in the air.
"This is the text?"
"Look, doesn't this look like a drawing on a person's chest?"
Many children nodded their heads again and again, and Dumb also nodded while lying on the paper butterflies.
"Wen is to draw patterns on the body to distinguish people. ”
"For example, Erhu, you are outside, and your father asked someone to bring you something, but that person hasn't seen you, what should I do?"
Erhu scratched his head, Dumb listened carefully, and the children on the side also listened carefully.
So in order to get to know Erhu, before leaving, Erhu's father drew two tiger heads on Erhu's chest, so that the messenger would know Erhu. ”
The children suddenly understood.
Lu Shi continued, "Wen is to draw patterns on a physical object, so we call these fundamental things Wen.
"And what is a word?"
A word is a combination of two or more texts. ”
"The monomer is the text, and the combination is the word. ”
And the word itself is also a combination of words. ”
Lu Shi drew another (word).
"You see, the word is a house on top and a child on the bottom. ”
What does this mean, a woman giving birth in the house is the second meaning of the word. ”
Master Lu spoke interestingly, the children listened energetically, and before they knew it, the morning time had passed, and it was time for the noon break.
Dumb was put down, and the rest of the people scrambled to play with the butterflies.
Dumb ate the nest head brought by his mother, and then waited for the two tigers to sit on the butterflies, and then ran outside to play together.
Erhu's mouth was high, "Dumb, you are really not righteous enough." ”
"Leave me alone and play on a butterfly by myself. ”
Dumb was a little weak-hearted, and he smiled, "But when I came down just now, wasn't I the first to pull you up?"
When Erhu heard this, his face was depressed, and he punched Dumb in the chest, "You're right, you're still very righteous." ”
"No, you still don't pay attention to righteousness, and when the tiger girl beat me, you refused to help me. Erhu said while taking out his little brother to pee.
"It's not that I'm not righteous, ten of us can't beat the tiger girl, and I'll be beaten up if I go up. Dumb said.
"If you get beaten, you will be beaten, are you afraid? ”
"I'm not afraid, I just want to wait for us to get better before we go. ”
"You seem to have a point, Dumb didn't expect you not to stay. ”
"What are you two talking about?" At this moment, a crisp voice sounded behind the two of them.
The two looked back and suddenly lost their voices, "Tiger girl." ”
Tiger Niu is a nickname secretly given to Lu Rou by Dumb, because Lu Rou is strong and fierce.
"What do you call me?" the girl widened and kicked them in the ass.
The two of them flew out and let out a scream in midair.
The girl strode towards Dumb, with a calm face, and rolled up her sleeves, "I saw you wilting and wilting during class, and said, did you get up the tiger girl?"
"No, no, no!"
Dumb said as he ran, and Erhu followed behind.
The two of them ran from east to west, and they didn't know where they had run, but when they saw that there was no sound behind them, they stopped.
looked around and saw that Lu Rou hadn't caught up, and the two breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Lu Rou suddenly appeared in front of them, "You guys are running!"
Lu Rou pinched her waist and slapped the two of them down.
Dumb shrank his head and closed his eyes in fright.
But after a while, nothing happened.
Dumb opened his eyes carefully, and saw that there was a small flower in the girl's hand at some point.
The girl's face was full of smiles, and she looked in a good mood, and snorted coldly, "This girl has a good temperament today, so I'll let you two go for the time being." ”
With that, the girl hurried away with the little flower.
Erhu stabbed Dumb, "Dumb, why didn't she beat the two of us?"
Dumb scratched her head, "Maybe it's because she has flowers." ”
"Flowers?" Erhu looked at the girl, "Then prepare more flowers." ”
Dumb looked carefully, the surrounding scenery blurred, and the flowers in the girl's hands were filled with a faint blue light.
Dumb thoughtfully.
