Chapter 11 Blindfold
Li Chuan thought for a while and said: "Then...if I just keep the book at home and don't learn the above things, is it okay?"
"What's the big deal?" Wen Guying was a little confused.
"Just, it chose me to be its successor. If I don't learn, will it force me to learn..." Li Chuan thought about his words.
“For example, one day I was working in the fields and suddenly found an injured girl lying there. I rescued her, and then I found that the girl had enemies or had a difficult problem. I have to use the knowledge in this scripture, so I have no choice but to learn it. After learning it once, I will learn it a second time, and gradually I will give up my studies..." Li Chuan's voice gradually became softer.
Wen Guying looked at Li Chuan with complicated eyes, "How could you... You scholars always have many strange ideas."
Li Chuan asked without giving up: "Master Wen, will you? Will this happen?"
Wen Guying said: "Don't worry, it won't happen. It's just a book."
"Well, if I tear it accidentally. If it breaks, will there be any bad consequences?" Li Chuan asked again.
“No,” Wen Guying couldn’t help but said, “If you can break it, it’s just your ability. Even if the immortal comes, this book can’t be damaged at all.”
Li Chuan nodded, and then he apologized to Wen Guying and said, "Don't blame me, Taoist priest. I just want to ask clearly. I will definitely cherish this book."
Wen Guying's face looked slightly better. Said: "Since you have obtained this book, you are a distinguished guest of the Four Gods Palace."
As he said that, he took out a skylark knot made of colorful silk threads from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Li Chuan, "This It is a token of the Four Gods Palace. If you come to the Four Gods Palace in the future, with this token, you can not only listen to the lectures in the Four Gods Palace, but also browse all the books below the Tianzi in the library. "
< br>Li Chuan took the knot with both hands. After thanking him, he said with some confusion: "Taoist Priest, is the Four Gods Palace open to the public? Well, I heard from the Taoist Priest before that the red fox was also listening to the lecture. , waiting for an opportunity to sneak into the library..."
"Yes." Wen Guying confirmed Li Chuan's statement.
He said: "The Four Gods Palace is the first of the Taoist sects in the world. As long as you are dedicated to seeking the Tao, no matter you are a human or a demon, you can come and listen. Taoism is a journey. Once you reach a certain stage of cultivation, it is difficult to make any further progress just by working behind closed doors. It is different from Practitioners of the school can make discoveries through discussions and exchanges. Similarly, these secrets of exercises lose their value if they are left in the library without anyone looking at them. Only by continuing to pass them on and develop can new paths be explored. Come."
He said loudly, "As long as he has a correct mind and is devoted to the Tao, the door of the Four Gods Palace will be open to him."
Li Chuan suddenly thought of what Boiled Egg mentioned. Fangzi.
He said: "I met a wandering doctor before. He said that he had a prescription in his hand that could eliminate the erosion of demonic power from the Four Gods Palace. I wonder if it is true?"
"Get rid of demon power erosion? What did he say?" Wen Guying frowned and asked.
So Li Chuan repeated what the boiled egg said.
Wen Guying said: "There is a prescription to eliminate the erosion of demon power, but that doctor may be bluffing you, because normal contact with demons will not affect the human body except leaving some breath. What's the obstacle?"
Li Chuan was stunned.
Is this what Wen Gu said to Zhang Yuanwai?
Did he lie to Yuanwai Zhang?
Wen Guying saw the doubts in Li Chuan's mind, and he was very calm, "The chicken demon left many days ago, leaving no trace at all. As for the female ghost crying, it was the people in this house who scared themselves." I came up with it. But if I don't watch this night and do a ritual tomorrow, Zhang Yuanwai and his family will definitely not be able to feel at ease."
He said: "I have been busy for two days and still can't do it. Thanks to Zhang Yuanwai, they will do more good deeds in the future, which can be said to be killing two birds with one stone."
Li Chuan was silent.
Then he said: "Daozhang Wen, I admire you very much, and the magnanimity with which the Four Divine Palaces act. If...I am talking about if, if I don't learn the things in "The Classic of Patterns", what will happen? Isn’t there still a chance to embark on the path to immortality?”
“No.” Wen Guying bluntly denied Li Chuan’s words. He said, “When the Wen Jing selected you, the other doors were already open to you. Closed.”
"Okay." Li Chuan took a bite of the chicken leg, his expression unchanged.
I feel a little regretful, but not too much.
The next morning, when Zhang Yuanwai came back with his family servants, Wen Guying told them that he had saved both the chicken demon and the female ghost. After saying that, he also took everyone to see the seven or eight chicken feathers and a strand of hair scattered under the window outside.
A little girl who was walking on crutches saw the chicken feathers and said, "This is the chicken demon's feathers. It's absolutely right. It's exactly the same as what I saw that day."
As he spoke, he took two steps, and his crippled foot actually healed in an instant.
The rest of the servants also stepped forward to take a look and commented one after another:
“That chicken demon has received the kindness of the master’s family for so many years without thinking of repaying it, but he colluded with the female ghost. Working together, wasting the master’s food and killing the master, we deserve this!”
“That’s right,” he said, stepping on the chicken feathers and hair a few times, “this is ungrateful!” The fate of this person!"
"Thanks to the Taoist priest, I took this monster away."
"..."
Li Chuan listened to their words and sighed silently in his heart, these are not chicken feathers, they are just fallen leaves.
The fallen leaves he picked up.
The Taoist priest’s trick.
While standing, Li Chuan looked at Wen Guying.
Wen Guying looked enigmatic. When he saw that everyone had finished talking, he said that the time had come and it was time to do something.
Zhang Yuanwai had already prepared what he ordered.
I saw Wen Guying standing in front of the table, holding a pen in his sleeve, dipped it in cinnabar, drew a few mysterious characters on the yellow paper, and threw it into a basin of clear water.
He then held the sword, walked around a few times with his steps, and finally pointed at the water basin and shouted "Duh".
I saw the yellow paper spontaneously combust without fire.
The chicken feathers and hair on the ground also started to burn. A servant came closer and almost got burned, so he hurriedly took a few steps back.
Then I heard crackling sounds coming from near and far, as if invisible fire was burning everywhere in the house.
And a red sun broke through the clouds and merged with the firelight.
Everyone looked at it in awe and fear.
When the fire burned out, Wen Guying put away his sword, walked up to Zhang Yuanwai and said, "Zhang Yuanwai, the monster has been eliminated, and all the breath left by the monster has been burned away."
While thanking Zhang Yuanwai, he took out the prepared box and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Unexpectedly, Wen Guying pushed the box back.
Before Zhang Yuanwai could speak again, he laughed loudly and strode out, walked out of the door and walked on the street, walking higher and higher, as if he were walking on empty steps, and kept walking in It fell into the sun, turned into a small black dot, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.
Everyone looked at the sun crazily.
After a long time, Zhang Yuanwai suddenly heard the Taoist’s voice in his ear: “Do more good deeds, and your blessings will continue.”
He suddenly woke up and then bowed in the direction of the sun.
The rest of the people followed suit and bowed to the sun.
