I weave fate in parallel time and space
Chapter 282 The Old Taoist
At the time of the people's revolution in Britannia.
Xiaya is basically in Beichen, mainly for the investigation of extraordinary power.
Beichen in this era has neither the century-old national humiliation nor colonial invasion, and all kinds of ancient cultural classics are well preserved.
Among the various famous mountains and historical sites, there are many ancient books preserved in the thousand-year-old Taoist temples and temples.
These ancient books are actually useful, and even really contain some mysterious power.
But because of the coming of the Dharma-ending era, the owners of these ancient books can only say that they have a treasure mountain in vain and don't know how to use it.
When Qin Shihuang burned books and pitted Confucianism, he hid the originals of many classics in the imperial palace, but unfortunately Xiang Yu set a fire when he entered Xianyang, destroying all those ancient books in the sea of fire.
In the era before the Qin Dynasty, when extraordinary power was most prosperous, the classics left in the palace should be quite important.
But for now, the collected things are enough, Xia Ya also investigated the main situation of Beichen.
Similar to Britannia, the heavens basically no longer exist, leaving only the underworld to maintain the most basic functions.
Moreover, the underworld and the yang world are also distinct, and the operating mechanism of the ghosts is similar to that of the god of death. The quality of the ghosts at the bottom is worse than that of the god of death, but the number of ghosts is also larger.
This is quite normal, because the power of those gods of death comes from the god of death, and ghosts are cultivated by themselves.
The upper level is another case.
The so-called Taoism and Buddhism in the Eastern worldview are actually the same thing as magic, but they are called differently.
Magic power is called spiritual power here, or Qi, and those Taoist arts are actually different forms of magic.
The templates used by Char's manifested destiny all come from fantasy works, and fantasy works will be "rationalized" after they come to the real world, that is, they will appear in a way that conforms to the rules of this world.
Therefore, it is reasonable that the magic of Hogwarts is similar to the Taoism of the East, because whether it is the East or the West, they are two civilizations in one world.
There are actually many similarities between the spells of the two worlds. For example, Hogwarts' weather spell is very similar to the Lightning spell.
There is also the space expansion technique used to expand the alley is very similar to the universe in the sleeve, and the stone statue spell used by Professor McGonagall when facing Voldemort is very similar to the Bean Soldiers.
Of course, just similar, the performance is still different.
Moreover, Shenzhou actually has their own alchemy, which Xia Ya discovered during his research.
It's just that their alchemy is called "alchemy", which is an ancient science belonging to the East.
However, there are still some differences from alchemy. Alchemy is derived from refining cheap metals into expensive heavy metals.
The alchemy follows the yin and yang and five elements, and its purpose is to use fire as yang to remove the dross from various substances, extract their essence, and condense them into elixir.
So the "elixir" is their end.
They are very similar in essence, they are all reconstructions of matter, and they are similar in upper limit and lower limit. Every alchemist will control a certain kind of special flame. ability to construct.
However, it has a strong attack power in itself and can be used as one of their attack methods.
Beichen has maintained the traditional culture very well, but the inheritance of the other world has almost been cut off. Even if there are texts left, not many people can understand them.
So what Shaar wants to do now is to reproduce and research these inheritances as much as possible.
So far Char has achieved good results, but the problem still lies in the strength of the teachers.
Hogwarts actually taught a lot of Beichen people. Building a school is a lot of effort, so Char had no intention of building a second school of this size at that time.
However, when he saw the hidden dangers caused by the dominance of the Hogwarts family, he began to work on Beichen's layout.
The human world needs balance, and the world of magic needs this balance even more.
Not enough, and Shaar didn't intend to hire these Beichen people who graduated from Hogwarts to become teachers in the new school.
Because these people graduated from Hogwarts, letting these people come, Beichen's new school became a branch of Hogwarts in a sense, which was contrary to his purpose.
Shaar and Alicia came to a new city near the coastline. Many people gathered on the beach. Several of them formed a circle and wrote something on a lamp.
A little girl wrote a sentence with the help of her father: Mom, I miss you so much, I hope you can always be happy on it.
When her Kongming lantern was released, she looked at her father with pure eyes like a pool of clear water, and said, "Dad, can mom really see it?"
The little girl's father said softly, "Of course I can see that the Kongming Lantern will continue to fly into the sky, to where my mother lives."
The girl did not speak, but looked expectantly at the Kongming Lantern that was gradually rising into the sky,
On the other side of them, several girls also wrote down their wishes: I hope my family can be happy and healthy.
They put the Kongming lanterns together.This Kongming lantern carried their hope and flew into the sky.They put their hands together, closed their eyes and prayed to God to fulfill their wishes.
Each Kongming lantern is round and looks like a miniature tent, with a burning fire inside, and the fire is flickering. When people fly the Kongming lanterns into the sky, these lanterns occupy the sky, like countless stars coming from the sky. The ground flies to the sky, the beauty is breathtaking.
However, what Alicia knows is that these lights are not just as simple as looking good. The lights flying into the sky entrust their thoughts, wishes, dreams, hopes and worries.
Shaar and Alicia just held hands and quietly watched the lights rising above the sea level, immersed in the suffocating beauty.
"Shaar, I think of what you told me in the past, about the world after death, the vision extended by human beings' ultimate fear of death, and the romance unique to human beings." Alicia said quietly, "This Everything is also an extension of that vision.”
She murmured softly, "It's so romantic."
Char smiled, "Want to put one?"
"Okay." Alicia said with bright eyes.
Shaar pulled Alicia to a small vendor by the coast. The vendor was also wearing a Taoist robe, but it was not a retro Ming-made Taoist robe like him, but an evergreen robe.
Cyan is a very commonly worn color in Taoism, which evolved from the five elements, five colors, and five directions in ancient culture and the Taoist thought of "guisheng".Corresponding to "wood", "green" and "east" respectively, which symbolizes the east.
Xia Ya didn't know if this person was a Taoist priest, but he was dressed like a Taoist priest, and there was a little Taoist boy who looked seven or eight years old sitting on one side, and Kongming lanterns were being sold at the booth.
The Taoist priest holds a pole in his hand, and a sail is hung on the pole. On it is a pattern of Taiji and Eight Diagrams. Below the pattern is a line of words, which reads:
Ask divination.
The old Taoist priest had a small round black sunglasses on his face, like a blind street performer. He was reaching out and stroking a lady's grasp at the moment, his brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking.
The lady said nervously, "Master, how is it?"
The old Taoist raised his hand and touched his chin, "Your heirs are not destined to be married, and the palace of fate is gloomy. There may be a catastrophe in the future."
However, when the lady was about to change her face, she heard him say.
"but."
His words paused without words, and the lady hurriedly asked.
"But what?"
There was a bit of embarrassment on the face of the old Taoist, "Layman, it's not that I don't tell you, it's really... the secret of heaven must not be revealed."
The lady quickly took out a wad of money from her pocket and handed it to the old Taoist priest.
"What do you mean?" The old Taoist said displeased, "Who do you think I am?"
"Take it, and treat it as my filial piety to God." The lady forced the money into the Taoist priest's hand.
The old Taoist weighed the weight of the money, and then he sighed again, "Forget it, forget it, since you are so sincere, Layman, I will try my best to change my life for you."
He picked up the writing brush placed on the table, wrote a series of spells on a blank spell, and then handed it to the lady.
"Hang this spell on your bedside, and ask for a statue of the Supreme Lord, it should be able to ward off disasters for you."
The lady took the charm excitedly, stood up and was about to leave, it seemed that she couldn't wait to hang the charm on the bedside.
The little Taoist priest on the side couldn't help but turned his head and complained, "Master, your spell is useless at all, isn't it a lie?"
"What is lying, I'm treating her suspiciousness!" The old Taoist said displeased.
Suddenly, the lady turned back, and the old Taoist's heart was lifted instantly, thinking that she knew that she had been fooled, so she came back to settle the score.
But she didn't expect to speak next.
"Sorry, master, I was a little anxious when I left just now. I didn't thank you. I don't know where your Taoist temple is. If my luck really changes in the future, I will definitely visit and add some incense to the temple."
"That's unnecessary." The old Taoist waved his hands and said, "I don't ask for anything in return."
The lady saluted the old Taoist priest with respect, and then left.
The old Taoist proudly followed his apprentice and said, "Look, he still has to thank us."
But at this moment, another voice came from one side.
"How do you sell your Kongming lanterns?"
Hearing the sound, the old Taoist raised his head and saw Shaar and Alicia in ancient costumes. Today is a festival, and there are many people wearing such clothes, so it is not surprising.
But what caught his eye was the material of the clothes, all of which were made of high-quality brocade, not to mention the gold weaving technique of gold thread lace weaving, so the value has risen to a higher level.
The couple are either dignitaries or wealthy businessmen.
The old Taoist smiled, "I don't usually sell this Kongming Lantern, I only give it to those who are destined."
He looked at Xia Ya, "I think you are destined to be with me. The appearance of a nobleman is the appearance of an auspicious person. The heavens are round, the complexion is reddish, and the blood is strong. However, the nobleman's eyes are slightly black, could it be?"
He frowned and thought for a while, "Please sit down, nobleman, and let the old man do some calculations for the nobleman. Don't worry, the old man's fortune-telling is only counted as predestined people, and never charges."
"Sell it to us directly." Alicia said, "Just give us a price."
They just watched the whole process of how the old Taoist fooled people.
However, Shaar sat on the chair in this booth with some interest.
"I don't know what the old man's name is?"
"Poverty's surname is Zhang, and his name is Sulin."
"How do you calculate, horoscope? Feeling the bones? Or... looking at the physiognomy?" Xia Ya asked curiously.
"Naturally, I have touched the bones." The old Taoist said confidently, "Put out your hand, and I will know your age at a touch."
Xia Ya stretched out his hand, and the old Taoist also stretched out his hand and began to measure the bones of his hand, and then began to mutter to himself.
"Your life in your first 20s should not have been very smooth. Your parents died early, and your studies were not very good. This year."
Suddenly, he frowned slightly, and looked at Shaar in surprise.
"How old are you this year?"
"Didn't you say how old I am, you can tell by touching it?" Xia Ya teased, and there was a momentary turmoil in his calm eyes.
The old Taoist frowned and took a little breath, "It's strange. It's really strange. Your bones are very young. You look only in your twenties, but your age seems to be a long time ago."
Xiao Daotong on one side complained, "Master, don't you think what you said is contradictory?"
"Shut up, what do you know?" the old Taoist said displeased.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and kept muttering, "It's really strange."
He looked at Shaar, "Can I touch your cheekbones?"
"Of course." Shaar said.
The old Taoist stretched out his hand and touched Shaar's cheek, touching his cheekbones and the bridge of his nose. However, as he moved, his originally steady hand gradually began to tremble, and his breathing became a little uncomfortable. too sure.
"No. No"
The old Taoist shook his head excitedly, he quickly took out a simple book from his body and began to read it.
The content of the book is some pictures of bones and very mysterious narration, it is very thick and very old, it should be some years old.
"There is a noble minister, a member of the royal family?
No. No, the bones of the royal family are not like that.
What the hell?
How could there be such a face? "
He raised his head abruptly, and his surprised eyes turned into stares.
"What the hell are you?"
Xiaya didn't say anything, just smiled faintly, and got up from his seat silently.
This veteran should indeed have some abilities, but not many.
"Can you give us the Kongming Lantern?"
The old Taoist was silent for a moment, then turned his head to gesture to the little Taoist boy.
Xiaodaotong also handed the lamp directly to Xia Ya.
But suddenly, Shaar seemed to have discovered something, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned his head to look into the depths of the sea.
Under the cover of night, the sea level is as dark as ink, reflecting the Kongming lanterns in the sky, and the waves are undulating, but they are relatively calm.
But under the undulating tide, Char could feel a huge monster approaching.
One, a behemoth that does not belong to this world (end of this chapter)
