Chapter 176: Little talent and little learning, come to ask for advice

Taking out the blue-covered "Yunshan Theory of Fantasy" from the wooden box, there was no third book inside.

Xu Yuanchang took the lead in flipping through the book that was suspected of "spreading beans and forming an army".

The title page uses the word "Jade" to start with a clear meaning. This volume contains a Taoist predecessor, Taoist Meng Lang, who evolved from the Shinto secret method of "throwing beans to form an army". The full name is "Throwing beans to form an army." The method of spreading beans to create soldiers and puppets has the same effect but different approaches.

Xu Yuanchang's eyes showed excitement, and this gift was delivered to his heart.

He flipped through the pages and saw pictures and texts. Unfortunately, there were many complex "bronze inscriptions" among the jade characters, as well as a very small number of "yunzhuan" runes, which made it difficult for him to read smoothly.

It seems that I have to spend some time to go to the academy to find someone to learn jade characters, bronze inscriptions and cloud seal scripts.

Otherwise, how can you practice phantom spells if you don't express your ideas clearly?
In the practice of magic, a slight difference can lead to a thousand miles, and there is no room for error.

Put the secret book into a wooden box and seal it.

Xu Yuanchang flipped through another book, "Yunshan's Theory of Illusion", and learned from the jade text on the title page that Yunshan's Theory of Illusion was a collection of Taoist Meng Lang's discussions about "illusion" with others, followed by information on blindness, blindness, and magic. There are four illusion arts: Phantom Eye Technique, Phantom Sound Technique and Phantom Fire Technique.

Some people's illusions work sometimes but not always, while others can be creative and open hidden doors.

As small as flies, they can find every opportunity to exploit.

"Seeing people covering themselves with hands, how can there be so many illusions."

He sticks to his own opinions and judgments and will not fall into the "obstacle of knowledge and vision" that he cannot extricate himself from.

The copyists all copied it meticulously, even distinguishing the fonts.

He should maintain a calm state of mind, not be confused by "illusions", and avoid the trouble of "cultivating illusions and falling into trouble" without knowing it.

He was wondering in his heart, who is Taoist Meng Lang?
He has read a lot of classics and is quite familiar with the names of Taoist masters in Dingzhou in the past thousand years.

He noticed that the natal character "Huan" looming on the altar in the spiritual consciousness space was completely silent. Many of the mysterious discussions in the book in his hand could trigger varying degrees of subtle resonance of the word "Huan", like ripples.

"Illusions come and go, and great illusions never come to an end."

The difference lies in the height and size of the "illusion", its depth and twists and turns.

Close your eyes and adjust your breath slowly, without thinking or self. When all the troubles in your mind are gone, when you open your eyes again, your eyes will be clear.

"The body is preserved in the light of stone fire."

Xu Yuanchang held the scroll and watched his predecessors scolding each other in the distance. He also understood more and more that true illusions cannot be learned from books.

Rubbing his forehead, Xu Yuanchang felt that it was a lot of trouble.

Could it be a Tao master from another continent?
Slowly flipping through page after page, he recognized most of the jade characters. However, there were many rare and complex characters in the book, mixed with strange-shaped cloud seals. He could not guess the meaning of the characters based on the context, and he was even more determined to draw them. Determination of time to learn.

"It's really illusory to grow old and reach the end of the green mountains."

I devoured the densely transcribed parts at the front of the book.

There are only fragments of Taoist Meng Lang's words recorded in the book. However, under each line, there are countless interpretations and interpretations by later generations, and there are even many smears, with rude comments such as "Bullshit doesn't make sense" and "I went to your grandma's house by mistake." There are also words of praise such as "wonderful" and "good words of wisdom".

However, this was the first time I came across the name of "Taoist Master Meng Lang" who was highly praised in the book.

Illusion is different from other spells. It is originally between "true and false", "virtual and real". When learning "illusion", you must be influenced by the "illusion". The same sentence has different interpretations due to different people. Depending on the direction of perception, different "illusion" techniques may also be deduced.

As stated in the book, "Illusion is born from the heart", "Take falsehood as true without waiting for exchange", "Cultivation of illusions will not fall" and other statements. Through the debate with different annotations below, Xu Yuanchang understood some basic illusion principles and gained Very beneficial.

Those discussions are worthy of his future study.

With a curious attitude, I read the first basic illusion technique recorded in the book, blindness.

Although there are many jade characters that he does not recognize, Xu Yuanchang is very familiar with the "eye-blinding technique" and has the deepest understanding of it. He often has a knowing smile on his face when he watches it.

The content of this blinding technique is more than twice as much as what he has learned. It is divided into four stages: "moving objects to blind the eyes, illusory objects to blind the eyes, changing objects to blind the eyes, and creating non-obstructive blinding". How to work hard at each stage is all Explained in detail.

He looked carefully, compared it with what he had learned, and suddenly realized something.

The first three stages he thought he was a genius were actually all recorded in the book.

Although there are some similarities, they are still very different.

Xu Yuanchang did not continue to read the second "Phantom Eye Technique" in the book, and Yan Juan sighed secretly.

Obtaining this book earlier would save him an unknown amount of time, but it was not too late.

He can learn new things by reviewing the past. Others learn from the textbook, which is not as profound as his own understanding.

Network and resources are very important.

Yu Fengwu really gave him a great gift, a timely gift.

Xu Yuanchang put away his books and did not carry his bamboo box. He walked out of the courtyard of his residence. He walked through the streets and alleys to Xianyu Garden. He nodded slightly in response to the casual cultivator who greeted him. His expression was neither cold nor indifferent, and he walked straight to the second floor. building. I haven't been here for nearly a year, and the layout of the shop hasn't changed much.

He Xiufeng hurriedly walked out of the counter, smiled and saluted.

Xu Yuanchang didn't see the familiar figure by the window. He stood and chatted with He Xiufeng for a few words. He then asked about An Ciyu's current situation and learned that An Ciyu had something to do when he returned to his family. He might return to the shop tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Without waiting much longer, Xu Yuanchang casually sold a bunch of talismans, bought a few artifacts for clearing offerings, packed them carefully, and left from Xianyu Garden.

Arrive at the Hanmingyuan of the Academy.

From a distance, I saw Liu Nayun laughing and chatting with a female student in the corridor, his face filled with youthful vitality.

Counting his years, Liu Nayun is already over eighteen years old. He is tall and thin and wears a long gown, which gives him a calm and elegant temperament.

Xu Yuanchang almost had the illusion that "I am old", but in fact he was still a few years short of thirty.

Sensing that he was being noticed, Liu Nayun turned his head and looked with a look of surprise on his face. Still remembering the etiquette, he apologized to his fellow female students, and then he supported the wooden railing with his hands and jumped down from the second floor.

He couldn't wait to run down the stairs, and his urgency was evident.

This move shocked the students upstairs and downstairs.

For many students, climbing up and down stairs is a common thing, and they enjoy doing it when their husband is not around, euphemistically calling it "irregular, careless and willful", but when it comes to Liu Nayun, who has always followed the rules and is young and mature, it is really too much. It's rare.

Some naughty ones even whistled and cheered, shouting, "Naoyun is a true temperament," "A scholar takes clouds as his ambition," "Dance with clouds again and I will recognize you as my elder brother," and all sorts of nonsense.

Full of uninhibited happy atmosphere.

Liu Nayun ran to the door, straightened her long robe, and then bowed respectfully.

"I've seen the Taoist priest, you're out of seclusion."

"No need to be polite, I have been in seclusion for a long time and I want to go out for a walk."

Xu Yuanchang smiled and stretched out his hand to support him. He could see that Liu Nayun had crossed the threshold and became a true first-level Confucian cultivator. He had a bright future and his life would no longer be embarrassing.

Standing by the avenue of Hanmingyuan, he asked Liu Nayun about his studies and practice.

Just understand and care like a young elder.

After saying a few words of encouragement, he heard the ringing of the bell and saw the familiar steps running towards the classroom. He smiled and asked Liu Nayun to go to class quickly and don't let the teacher get caught.

Liu Nayun saluted and ran quickly.

When the second bell rang, the huge Hanmingyuan was empty, and there were no students left.

Teachers began patrolling the corridors.

When Xu Yuanchang saw Fu Ying appear, he raised his hand and greeted her from a distance.

"Ah, Teacher Xu, when did you arrive? Why didn't you go to the hotel to drink tea? But I haven't seen you for some time."

Fu Ying flew over, pretending to be surprised, with a smile on his face.

Xu Yuanchang saluted solemnly, clasping his fists and not caring about the surprised expressions of other teachers who looked over at him. As a nominal teacher wearing a Taoist robe, it was normal for others not to recognize him. He said, "I came here specifically today to ask Fu Jiaoxi for advice."

When Fu Ying heard this, he immediately felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.

In the past, this Taoist priest tried to pass the buck in every possible way and regarded "knowledge" as a scourge.

Today, I seriously wanted to ask her for advice and play games. She felt a little unable to resist and felt very guilty.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, how about we go to the Hongyintang? Mr. Hongru Kumu happens to be teaching in the academy these days. At this time, I am exchanging knowledge with Mr. Zheng and several other teachers..."

"I am a late learner and don't dare to disturb the conversation of my seniors."

Xu Yuanchang was not interested in contacting high-level Confucianism cultivators, so he hurriedly explained his purpose and said with a smile: "I would like to ask you to teach me how to learn 'Yu Zi', 'Bronze Inscriptions' and 'Yun Zhuan'. I also ask Fu Jiaoxi to give me your advice."

Fu Ying realized that the other party was joking with her, and said angrily: "If you dare to scare me next time, I will punish you by copying a bunch of books."

Xu Yuanchang was invited to sit in the house, drink tea and chat.

Half an hour later, Fu Ying took Xu Yuanchang to the lecture platform of the academy and asked an old teacher named Kou Xueqian, who had specialized in writing for a hundred years, to teach Xu Yuanchang how to learn ancient writing.

Fu Ying believed that she was not very talented and learned a lot, so she did not dare to teach Xu Daoyou how to learn calligraphy. She was worried that she would be embarrassed and show her cowardice when she cited extensive references to prove the "etymology".

She prefers to be friends with Daoyou Xu who can talk about anything and have nothing to do with each other.

Doesn't involve any sectarian opinions.
