Chapter 2: The Fox Demon
"However, since these fox spirits in front of me know how to read, and they are also the "Zuo Chuan" with benevolence, righteousness, and morality as the core, reading is to be a person, and the other party should not harm people indiscriminately. ”
Thinking of this, Chu Yunting immediately dressed up to calm his mind, and then walked over to these foxes.
The old man is extraordinary, he just sealed the door of the ghost, there should be a deep meaning, and the other party is also reciting "Zuo Chuan", but there seems to be a saint's compassionate heart, which seems to be pointing to him.
If Chu Yunting is like the stern revenge of Zheng Zhuanggong, and the old man in front of him is like a gentleman who reconciles his mother and son, Uncle Ying, it is a big difficulty, and it is only like child's play in the hands of the old man, and his temperament is outstanding.
At this moment, seeing Chu Yunting coming over, the old man immediately got up to greet him, and the foxes also held their books, stood up like people, and saluted Chu Yunting, with a happy expression on their faces.
"It seems that these foxes really understand etiquette. ”
Seeing this, after Chu Yunting returned the salute, his heart became more and more stable, so he asked the old man: "In Xia Chu Yunting, the predecessor just used the voice of "Zuo Chuan" to seal the door of the ghost, it seems that he is instructing?"
At this moment, this old man did not directly answer Chu Yunting's question, but instead focused on Chu Yunting, looked at it, and asked: "This place is a place of yin ghosts, full of ghosts and ghosts, ordinary people come in, they have long been corroded by yin qi and lost their minds, but I see that your spirit is clear, and even your body shows clear light, this is a sign of reading to the bone marrow, this can avoid the evil qi, how do you do this? What books do you usually read? Who is the teacher?"
Hearing this, Chu Yunting was stunned.
How dangerous is this place?
He remembered that it was recorded in the classics that if he entered the ghost circle for a few miles, he would be eroded by demons, and he was wondering why he didn't see a ghost make a move, it turned out that it was because of his clear spirit.
He didn't hesitate at all, and said calmly: "I don't have a silver tael to buy books, so I can only go to the bookstall to read the Five Classics, the Analects, Mencius, etc., just to understand the truth, and there is no teacher." ”
Hearing this, not only the old man was stunned, but even the foxes were surprised.
Because these books are extremely obscure, the books of the foxes are full of commentaries.
And reading in the bookslet, a few glances in a hurry, can you read to this point?
For a while, many foxes were silent, and their eyes were full of surprise when they looked at Chu Yunting, as if they were not reading the same book as Chu Yunting.
"I see. At this time, after the old man lost his mind, he suddenly stroked his palm and laughed and said, "Reading is understanding." The language of the sages was not difficult in the first place, and it was even passed on by word of mouth, but later generations blindly interpreted it, and the more detailed the explanation, the more chaotic and fragmented the scriptures became. The way to read books like Mr. is really down-to-earth every step, which is the real way to read. ”
At this moment, he had already called Chu Yunting Mr.
Hearing this, the eyes of those foxes looking at Chu Yunting were like human beings, revealing expressions of shock and worship, so vivid.
"Don't dare, don't dare, the seniors are wrong, it's just the situation. Chu Yunting smiled bitterly, he can never forget his reading, although he can understand the truth, but the middle lift and reading are not the same thing, the way of the middle lift is not dead reading, it needs to be consistent with the examiner's school, style, and heart, so that he can be lifted. Only by using those interpretations can we figure out the schools, thoughts, and preferences in them.
At this moment, the old man stared at the top of Chu Yunting's head for a moment, and then nodded and said: "But I see that you are brilliant in writing, but you don't have literary luck, and you came to the ghost snake, probably because you were misled by the classics, and you want to come to this ghost land and ask for the Wen Yun Pearl?"
Hearing this, Chu Yunting was shocked in his heart, and secretly said that the other party could actually see this only with the naked eye, which was so extraordinary!
At that moment, he said respectfully, "Exactly." ”
"Then is there any record in the books you have read that ghosts are dangerous and mortals must not enter?" the old man continued to ask, his tone extremely solemn.
"Nope. Chu Yunting was stunned and shook his head, he never forgot it, so naturally he would not miss a word.
"Anyone who records the book of ghosts and foxes will inevitably have such a record. It is so incomplete in that book, or not...... If you really want Wenyunzhu, tomorrow is the 15th of July, you can go to the East Buddha Temple in Qixia Mansion, when you can see the ghost market, maybe you have the opportunity to trade Wenyunzhu. ”
"Thank you for your advice. Chu Yunting's eyes couldn't help but light up, he didn't expect that he would have nowhere to find when he stepped on the iron shoes, and he actually knew the way to get Wen Yunzhu from the old man.
However, according to the old man, this Wenyun pearl is extremely precious, and it is difficult for him to barter for things.
But things are man-made, and as long as it is possible, there is hope.
"You're welcome, it's rare that you are such a reasonable person, the way of reading is a great inspiration for my generation, and I have received a person's favor in the past, which is similar to you, and it can be regarded as a drink and a peck," the old man said: "I have a set of breathing and breathing methods here, which is the way for foxes to cultivate adults, it takes a hundred years, but it is better to be safe and stable, I don't know if it is useful to human beings, you can learn from it." ”
After finishing speaking, the old man took out an extremely thin scripture scroll from his arms and handed it to Chu Yunting.
Without waiting for Chu Yunting to answer, the old man laughed, and disappeared into the distance surrounded by those foxes.
Holding the scripture book in his hand, he felt that there was still residual warmth on it, especially the old man was like a literati, and Chu Yunting felt a trace of respect in his heart.
This old man must have been transformed by a fox, and it took at least a hundred years to cultivate to the human body with the body of a fox, how difficult and how respectable it was.
After all, the whole country is gone, and the demons, foxes, and ghosts are in chaos, and they mainly absorb people's yang qi and inhale human qi, which can greatly shorten the cultivation time, and there is no one like Lao Weng's temperament.
And the other party can actually give a book to a human being, and the other fox demon clan has a big difference in heart.
But almost at the same time, Chu Yunting thought of what the old man had just said, and suddenly his brows froze!
According to what the old man said, the classics that generally record ghosts, demons and ghosts will inevitably mention the danger of ghosts, and mortals must not enter, but the classics they read are not incomplete, but how can there be such omissions?
The book he had obtained a few days ago by the dead grass in the ancient well in the courtyard, and usually only those maids and guards would pass by, and he had suffered a lot of cold eyes, and there were no scholars or maids, and now that I think about it, that book appeared extremely strangely!
"This is a conspiracy deliberately set up by someone, and it contains the intention of harming me!"
"The Chu family has strict family rules and does not allow civil strife. But if you come to the ghost alone you are tantamount to killing yourself, and you can't blame others. ”
For a while, Chu Yunting's eyes flickered violently: "I remember that Mrs. Yun's housekeeper is in charge of the printing of classics, and often goes to Dongcheng to enter books, and it is normal to deliberately let a few pages be mutilated when printing there." And if it is really the butler, he acts viciously and decisively, and he is thorough in all aspects, and strives to strike a thunderous blow, he will definitely not give me any chance to escape!"
"Since this is the other party's conspiracy, the other party will inevitably block their own retreat, and even use ghost magic!"
"But I am vigorous, my mind is calm, the gentleman hides his body, as long as I am not fascinated by ghosts, the other party will definitely not be able to help me!"
"Sooner or later, I'm going to make you suffer from it!"
His gaze flickered with determination.
But his spirit was vigilant, and after reading the classics given by the old man in a hurry, and after hiding them on his body, he was ready to leave this lonely temple and leave the northern suburbs.
It's not easy to stay here!
However!
But when he wanted to leave this lonely temple, he found that there were thousands of desolate tombs around, dense, like a maze, and he couldn't tell the direction at all!
