Chapter Twenty-Five: A Dream of the Red Chamber
Now Li Yunxin knows why this "jade slip" is called "Tongming jade slip".
Because at the moment it's really bright all over.
After he came to this world, many things gave him a great shock - such as drawing paper into salt, such as demons, such as flying swords, such as people believe that it is really possible to cultivate into immortals.
But those things together were no less than this moment—the moment he saw the lines.
Excitement and confusion filled his chest in an instant, and even with his experience as a human being in two lives, he couldn't help but stare at Nayu in a daze for a while.
What the hell is this...... opened.
In fact, after he was shocked and surprised, another question came to mind.
After obtaining this jade slip from the place where his parents were hiding, he thought of countless ways to try to open it, hoping that this treasure could give him some magical power to get out of his previous predicament. But this thing was like a lifeless glass, no matter what, there was no reaction - even if he used the little spiritual power he had cultivated "Water Cloud Strength" to pour into it, it would still be like a mud cow entering the sea.
But at this moment, in the middle of the night, this thing "opened".
Li Yunxin held it in his hand and spent two minutes in astonishment, and another three minutes to think of any reason he could think of.
In the end, he felt that the biggest possibility was ...... Those two demons.
I've tried a lot of things before. Water immersion, fire, sun exposure, spiritual power. What's different these days......
That is, I met a big demon.
First the Ninth Prince, then Bai Yunxin, and her little maid.
Maybe...... It's the demonic power of the big demon that affects this thing.
But why did the Tongming Jade Slip left by the painting saint two thousand years ago use demonic power to open it?!
And who is that painting saint?!
A strange and familiar feeling flowed through Li Yunxin's chest, and at the same time, there was a familiar warm current that he thought he would never experience again.
It turns out that he is in this world......
Not alone.
At least once it wasn't alone.
He took a deep breath, ignored the noisy kitten demon on the side, and clicked nine times on the next line of the character with his slightly trembling fingers.
But Jade Jane didn't react.
He thought for a moment and clicked again eighteen times.
This time, a soft fairy music sounded. The two lines of text on the surface of this treasure disappeared, and the entire jade slip surface flowed with brilliance. Then Li Yunxin saw the dense text on the jade slip.
Li Yunxin did not care about the content of the words first, but looked at the words themselves. Look at the wording, look at the tone, look at the grammar. Then he closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and looked at the upper right corner of the jade slip, and his fingers tried to tap on its surface three or four times.
As a result, this painting treasure has become a transparent "glass" again.
He thought he knew how this thing was going to open.
Although he had only read a small part of the text inside, he had already realized why this thing was called "the treasure of painting".
Monks always need to go through tribulations. They need to understand all things in heaven and earth, and understand all kinds of emotions. But a person may have been poor all his life, and he may have been satisfied. If you have those who are poor and prosperous, you can live a wonderful life. If there are three or four people who have deeply experienced the ups and downs, sorrows and joys, it can already be called a "legendary life".
Life is short, and the monks are racing against time, and they don't have time to experience the life of Baiwei, so they have to rely on external forces. From this point of view, the paintings of the painters are similar to the Danshi Elixir. But after all, painters are human beings, and their experience is also limited. What's more, the painter in ancient times was still a Danqing Taoist, who was also a disciple of Xuanmen, one of the three major sects in the world, and his life was even more prosperous.
However, the karma of the demons in life is often due to greed and anger. Most of this greed and anger stem from despair.
Therefore, there are very few masterpieces of this kind.
One of the most famous paintings in the world is the "Dream of the Red Chamber" made by Xue Qin Zhenren in ancient times.
That Xue Qin Zhenren was born in a Xiuzhen family in Dongtian, and his parents were both masters in the world. When he was young, he respected the unparalleled and enjoyed the glory of the world. But when he was young, he coincided with the decline of painting, and he experienced the sadness of the world and the warmth and coldness of people. Therefore, after living in seclusion, he spent ten years making "A Dream of the Red Chamber". This master of the real realm spent his whole life pouring all the joys and sorrows he experienced into the painting, and finally left such a heirloom treasure, and died of exhaustion.
Although the seven-foot scroll at the end of the painting was damaged due to the war, it is still a treasure of painting enshrined by the Dongtian School - second only to the "Eight Treasures Scroll" left by the painting sanctuary back then.
It is said that when a practitioner comprehends this painting with his heart, he can experience endless desolation and sorrow, and refine his Dao heart. If mortals see this painting, those ordinary people will be fine, and if there are people who have Taoist bones but have not practiced, once they get the true meaning of the painting, they will die of heartache.
And now this is a clear jade slip......
There are more precious things than that.
Li Yunxin realized that once he found the demonic power that could always supply this jade slip, he would slowly learn and digest the things in it...... He could have become a man like the legendary painter of 2,000 years ago.
Seven emotions and six desires are all investigated, and the sorrows and joys of heaven and earth are collected from the heart. The subtleties can be painted with roses and tigers, and the pen will draw thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!
But first he had to solve the problem at hand.
Bai Yunxin's demon wanted to entangle him. Of course, he couldn't just take the sword she gave him to Weicheng - that sword must be a token, and the demon could use it to find him.
So he had to go somewhere else.
You have to take this little cat demon with you. It's also a demon after all, and it always has demon power.
I also have to sort out the fact that my parents are in seclusion and I am being hunted down.
The three Taoist priests of the three schools have all died, but they have all been forgotten by the hands of demons. Let those who covet the Ming Jade Jane go to investigate and find the trouble of the demons!
He had to find a place to study the thing in his hand, uncover the secret of the "painting saint", and then ......
Then let's make plans!
Therefore, he let out a long breath to calm his mood and put the jade slip back into his arms: "Go." If you like this body, just wrap it around and follow me. When I find a better place for you to possess, you can let this girl be buried in the ground. ”
The cat demon is glad to be. Even if it's "temporary" for her to use this body right now. When she saw Li Yunxin pulling her legs and leaving, she hurriedly wrapped her stomach in tattered clothes while staggering to follow.
Li Yunxin and the cat demon walked cautiously through the forest, and after a quarter of an hour, they finally saw the meadow outside the forest, the direction in which they had been escorted into the forest.
He stopped behind the tree and looked out warily.
But the cat demon suddenly snorted softly. Then she leaned down slightly excitedly and happily, stretched out her two hands, and pursed her lips while secretly looking at Li Yunxin, as if she wanted to do something, but she was worried about being reprimanded.
In the end, instinct finally overcame the little worry in her mind, she squinted her eyes, quickly patted the thing that poked out of Li Yun's waist, and laughed: "Huh, well, ha, I'm back." Well...... Haha, fun, huh?"
Li Yunxin frowned: "What are you doing-"
But just glanced at his waist, and he was stunned.
The sword that Bai Yunxin gave him, which he had plunged deep into the earth, hung itself on his waist again.
