Yu Ci was a little embarrassed. The two immortals came here because of his matters, but now they had an argument, but he couldn't intervene, let alone walk away. The feeling was really unpleasant.
Especially when he saw that Lao Dao's emotions were about to explode due to Jie Liang's stimulation. What would happen if things really got out of hand here?
Just as he was thinking about it, Yu Zhou looked this way. As soon as their eyes met, Yu Cifu reached into her heart and gave him a wry smile.
God knows why Yu Ci is smiling bitterly, but the emotion is clearly sent out.
As expected, Lao Dao still valued him. Seeing this, he seemed to have remembered his original purpose, and his surging emotions were dampened. Maybe what Lao Dao needs most right now is this kind of buffer.
Yu Zhou's emotions were still under control, and he just waved his hands a little irritably: "The matter is over, I don't want to argue with you. This has nothing to do with our purpose tonight. The disciple I introduced is strong-minded and very courageous. He is decisive, proficient in swordsmanship and talismans, and there is a fish and dragon general to present to the sect. All the conditions are in place. I just want to add glory to him, so why do you need to make such a gesture!"
"There is nothing wrong with the disciples you recommend, but there is a big problem with the way you educate them!"
Xie Liang had **** with Yu Zhou today, and there was a reluctance behind his rigid face. Yu Ci, who was standing next to her, secretly called her mother, and was considering whether to think of another way to lighten the atmosphere, when she heard someone speaking timidly:
"Senior Brother Yu is really good at talisman cultivation. Back in Nanshuang Lake, I used that 'ghost-binding talisman' to catch the water bird..."
It was Baoguang who spoke. When the little Taoist priest came to pour tea for everyone, he also felt that the atmosphere was bad, so he forced his way in by relying on his familiarity with the two elders. The words may not be appropriate, and the intention is too obvious, but the timing is just right. Yu Ci praised her heart and said smoothly:
"You are not afraid of flashing your tongue in front of Immortal Jie. All my skills are based on the talisman book. Is catching a water bird worthy of praise?"
"How could it be possible? It looked so powerful to me. That ghost-binding chain really looked like it was pulled out of Hades..."
The two immortals saw the two juniors arguing with each other, but they didn't know what they meant. Yu Zhou's emotions were buffered in front, making it easier to control. He glanced at Jie Liang again, turned his face slightly, hiding his face in the shadow of the light, and spoke in a gentler tone:
"We have been arguing about these principles for decades, but it is meaningless. We come here tonight not to show our shame in front of the disciples. That's it for today, okay?"
Xie Liang was silent for a while and nodded imperceptibly. When he spoke again, he asked Yu Ci: "There are twenty-two types of 'ghost-binding talismans' that can be condensed into chains. Which one did you learn?"
Although this statement is also a comparison, it is completely different from the previous question. Yu Ci was slightly startled. After seeing the focused posture he was trying to maintain, how could he not understand the intention of the immortal leader: Xie Liang also regretted it. He was trying to eliminate the unpleasant atmosphere in front of him, but he was obviously not very good at this method. The method was too Too clumsy.
Of course Yu Ci will not expose him, and is trying to match his attitude:
"A gifted immortal, this is the black law of the Yin capital that binds ghosts."
"Yes, it is indeed the direct descendant of Xuanmen."
Xie Liang is not a person who is quick to speak. The long speech just now is a point of view that he has insisted on for many years so that he can speak fluently. Now he is thinking about changing the topic, but he can't find the right words for a while. After holding it for a long time, he finally Squeeze out another sentence:
"Can you lend me that talisman book?"
These words were actually abrupt, but Yu Ci didn't care. He held back his laughter and took out the "Shangqing Juxuan Xingshu Secret Teaching Talisman Scripture" and presented it with both hands.
Although Xie Liang had other things on his mind, he was still polite and thoughtful. He still did not forget to say thank you and took it with both hands.
Just looking at the look in his eyes, his mind was not on the talisman book at all. He only held the scripture in his hand, frowning and thinking, God knows what mystery he could see.
At this time, it was Yu Zhoulaodao who spoke to break the awkward atmosphere: "Junior brother Jie is the most outstanding one among his peers in the sect. Although he is proficient in many sects, he is best at talismans. Today, he is showing You have seen it before in the Hall of Virtue.”
Yu Ci responded: "This disciple has benefited a lot."
Of course, a dry sentence won’t do. Yu Ci also worked hard to compile vocabulary. Fortunately, he was deeply impressed by the courses at Xiande Hall and was not afraid of running out of words:
"The immortal's three important opening sentences are very wonderful. Although the disciple has also seen them in the talisman book, but by arranging the three sentences in this order, it is unique and the inner relationship can be understood at once. As for the following precepts , Guanqi method and Zhoutian fortune-telling method...huh?"
Yu Ci suddenly felt something. What Xie Liang said in the Xiande Hall seems to have the same hierarchical relationship as the first three sentences. According to Xie Liang, precepts are the standard closest to "pure principles", which should be the most macro level; the subsequent Qi Guan Principles should be to declare the true meaning of a certain talisman, which is a slightly lower level; and when it comes to "Zhou Tian Luck Chart" "Skill" is not a Taoist method, but some kind of streamlined and hasty technique, which can be followed naturally.
Now think about it, at that time in the Xiande Hall, there were a lot of monks in the hall. They were in a daze after hearing the precepts, were confused after seeing the Qi Guan method, and were excited when they saw the "Zhou Tian Luck Technique". Isn't this consistent from another aspect? Do you understand the sayings in the scriptures such as "When a superior man hears the Tao, he practices it diligently; when a middle man hears the Tao, he either survives or perishes; when a lowly man hears the Tao, he laughs"?
As soon as the thought came out, he felt slightly ashamed, but also somewhat enlightened. When he woke up, he saw that both Yu Zhou and He Liang were looking at him, but the former was confused and the latter was thoughtful.
Yu Ci couldn't help but wonder when she saw the good look in her eyes, and blurted out:
"I dare to ask the Immortal, are there any taboos in using the "Zhou Tian Luck Technique"?"
This was no longer a deliberate attempt to liven up the atmosphere, but a question based on his feelings during the day. At that time, he felt that Xie Liang's mood had changed slightly when he talked about the "Zhou Tian Luck Technique", so he took it seriously. But when he opened his mouth at this moment, it was not a simple inquiry, but a test of Xie Liang's intentions.
Xie Liang seemed to be more attentive than before. Hearing the words, he responded calmly: "The shortcut must be found in the Tao, not the technique. I preached and taught the Dharma, but the disciples in the hall couldn't understand it, so they had to teach tricks. But you It’s great to be able to ask this question and feel something.”
Looking at him again, Xie Liang finally spread out the talisman book in his hand. Originally his expression was calm, but when he saw the general outline of the scripture, his face showed an expression of surprise and concern, which was particularly obvious in contrast to his usually dull expression.
He didn't hide it deliberately, so everyone in the room saw it. Yu Ci was surprised and saw Baoguang blinking at him, as if asking what was going on. As for the old Taoist, he simply turned sideways and looked at the talisman book with Xie Liang.
Xie Liang has completely forgotten the people around him, which is completely different from his previous polite appearance. He started from the general outline and flipped through it. In less than half a quarter of an hour, he read the entire talisman book, and then started reading it from the beginning again, this time much more carefully.
Yu Ci and Baoguang could only wink and wink, not daring to make any noise.
After a long while, the silence in the room was broken by Zhou Laodao: "I don't understand the talismans, but the stitches on the embroidery on the silk are delicate and dense, with clear layers, and they spread out like waves. Yun Shu has tens of thousands of words and more than a thousand illustrations, which seem to be broken and continuous, but are actually completed in one go, which is very pleasing to the eye. If you embroider this man using a sword, it will be extremely wonderful."
Xie Liang hummed, but did not respond immediately. After looking at it for a while, Fang said:
"There is a 'Yuyin Qianyuan Dan Tianlei Method' in it, and there are some flaws in the incantation attached to it. This flaw was common six hundred years ago, and even the talismans were not immune to it until Xin Tianjun of the Eight Views Palace perfected it. This curse was corrected after it was made public to the world, but it was not corrected in the previously produced talismans."
What he means is that this talisman scroll is at least six hundred years old.
He then added: "The material of the silk is bitter silk. It is tough and invulnerable to water and fire. However, it will become inky after being left for a long time. If it can be preserved to this day with a new luster, it must be attached to it with a spell." , but there is no trace at all, the technique is very clever.
"There are thousands of talismans included in it. Most of them seem general at first glance, but they are extremely precise and accurate. Moreover, there are at least two immortal talismans and more than twenty talismans that the sect does not have or has been confirmed to be corrupted. , quite valuable.”
Finding out so much information in the talisman book in one breath impressed both Yu Ci and Bao Guang. However, Yu Ci had some small expectations at this time. Is this talisman book quite precious?
Yu Zhou smiled and said: "It doesn't look like an ordinary thing. I wonder how much good deeds it is worth?"
After saying this, Xie Liang's face darkened slightly, but he did not push back in the end. He only said to Yu Ci: "I wonder what the origin of this talisman book is?"
Yu Ci naturally had nothing to hide, so he briefly recounted his experience of escaping from the Shuangxian Cult when he was young, but omitted the part about the Zhaoshen Bronze Mirror. Xie Liang pondered: "Purple Thunder Chiyin? But I have never heard of it."
After thinking for a while, he closed the talisman book and asked: "The origin of this book needs to be investigated in detail, but some of the talismans on it are extremely valuable. Can we check and fill in the gaps in the sect's current talisman scripture? Can I make a copy?"
Yu Ci smiled: "Why not?"
Hearing his simple answer, Yu Zhou shook his head and smiled again. Xie Liang bowed to thank him again, but Yu Ci was used to it and returned the favor politely.
Before he could fully straighten up, he suddenly heard Xie Liang speak: "When you listened to my lecture today, you performed very well in two ways.
You raised the question of 'Pure Principle'. It is difficult to ask unless you have personal experience. You are very solid in soul cultivation and have good understanding. You have initially glimpsed the way to purify your hidden consciousness. This is one of them. ; When I draw the talisman, your qi is active and your muscles, bones, flesh and blood are all responding. You must have been immersed in the talisman for a long time, and your senses can be so sharp. This is the second reason. ”
I don’t understand why Xie Liang suddenly praised him, but Yu Ci still thanked him.
But immediately afterwards, Xie Liang said, "It's a pity." Yu Ci was slightly stunned and looked up at him.
Xie Liangdao: "It's a pity that although you have these conditions, you haven't really started to learn the talismans. Although the vitality around your body is of extraordinary quality, you haven't used it well... I have an innate qi refining technique, which is very suitable. You, if you really want to teach the Dharma, you still lack the skills.”
Yu Zhou was shocked and stroked a few white beards: "Can you pass on the 'Xuan Yuan Shi Qi' to him?"
