MTL - In the Great World of Martial Arts, You Use the Tao of Talisman To Rule the Ages?-Chapter 20 Fuzi test (seeking further reading)
Chapter 20 Confucius Test (please follow up)
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
The sun is rising high, and the sky and the earth are so hot that even on the mountain, it feels like you are in a steamer.
Chen Lin finished his breakfast, wiped the slight sweat from his forehead, got up and went back to the house on the mountain to continue studying and memorizing.
“I’ve memorized the basics of Talisman and Sword Techniques. I’ll just consolidate my memory next. I have to find something useful to do in the remaining half of the month. I can’t waste time on the mountain.”
"Today's basic training has been completed. There is no need to continue practicing hard. This body's physical qualifications are too poor and its efficiency is too low."
“So what can we do next to make the most of the remaining time?”
Chen Lin lowered his head and pondered.
Having just returned to the mountainside, I suddenly heard someone calling me:
“Chen Lin!”
Look up.
It is the "Lao Ba" who is only thirteen years old among the eight apprentices.
The progress of their cultivation was close to each other before, and they were both on the verge of entering the Tao, so they had the best relationship.
However, after entering Taoism, Chen Lin has been focusing on talismans, and I haven't seen him on the mountain for a long time.
I don’t know if he has successfully entered Taoism now.
Traces of the wind, frost and bitter cold can already be seen on the face of the thirteen-year-old boy, and there is a special determination in his eyes, which usually look bright and bright.
“Ye Xuan.”
Chen Lin nodded and called the boy's name.
The young man walked over quickly, raised his head slightly and asked him: "Have you entered the Tao now?"
“Well, I refined my magic power a few days ago.”
There is nothing to hide, Chen Lin admitted with a generous nod.
The young man's body slumped visibly, as if he was a little discouraged: "I haven't been able to break through the bottleneck until now!"
“It’s just the final step, maybe we will have a breakthrough tomorrow.”
Chen Lin patted Ye Xuan on the shoulder and went up the mountain with him.
Along the way, I also told him about my feelings when I entered Taoism before.
He has accumulated the experience of entering the Tao twice, once through a gradual process, and once through a smooth process. Both processes were extremely valuable.
He told the similarities between the two entrances, and Ye Xuan soon showed a thoughtful expression.
Seeing the young man frozen in place, his eyes were in trance, as if he was mumbling to himself.
Chen Lin smiled and planned to go back to his room to continue his endorsement.
As a result, a bell suddenly sounded from the top of the mountain.
咚咚!
The bells echoed.
Chen Lin looked up.
“The top of the mountain is the Master’s residence. Will the Master continue to teach us?”
Since the last time he passed on the exercises, Master Xuanfu has not given them any more lessons and is usually in seclusion.
This is the call after more than a month.
Ye Xuan behind him was also awakened.
He cast a questioning look.
Chen Lin nodded: "Let's go up together."
The two of them went up the mountain side by side.
Meeting other people soon along the way.
First there were Li Tao and Sikong Lianyu, a man and a woman, looking at each other.
Ye Xuan glanced at it and muttered something.
Chen Lin turned his attention to the third person behind the pair of dogs...the adulterer and the adulterer.
That was a young man about fourteen years old, huddled at the back, timid.
It is the "Old Seven" who was persuaded by Li Tao not to practice anymore.
Chen Lin still doesn’t know his specific name.
Nodding to him in greeting, he buried his head deeper.
Soon we arrived at the master's house on the top of the mountain.
Only then did everyone realize that someone was waiting here.
There are two figures in total.
One is tall and one is short, one is fat and one is thin.
Tall ones are fat, short ones are thin.
“You people don’t take the Master seriously. The bell has been ringing for so long and you’re just here so slowly!”
“That’s right!”
Li Tao smiled generously and took the initiative to talk to the two people. Ye Xuan, who was next to him, whispered: "These brothers are here every day, and they even bring food to eat. I think the master is annoying them to death when he is in seclusion!"
Chen Lin suddenly understood.
These are the "fourth" and "the fifth".
The two are cousins, a natural ally among the eight, and their qualifications are only lower than those of Li Tao and Sikong Lianyu.
He glanced around and found that there was only one person missing.
“How long will Li Mingzhang keep Master waiting? Isn’t it because he has been unable to enter the Tao and has run away secretly?”
Sikong Lianyu suddenly started shouting.
What she called out was the second child’s name.
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sound of thunder from down the mountain road:
“Shut up, you bastard!”
The sound is really loud!
Like a tiger roaring in the forest!
Chen Lin watched Li Mingzhang walking up from the bottom of the mountain. He had a body as solid as an iron tower, and the beards on his rough face were like iron thorns, pricked on his chin and cheeks.
He walked over slowly and stared at Sikong Lianyu with his big copper eyes: "No matter how big or small you are, how can you scream your father's name?!"
"you!"
Sikong Lianyu’s eyes almost bulged out, and she was about to reach out to her arms to touch the talisman.
The door of the room in front of everyone was suddenly blown open gently.
"come in."
The master's calm voice came slowly.
The scene calmed down instantly.
Sikong Lianyu could only restrain his temper.
Li Tao glanced at Li Mingzhang behind him, unable to tell what he meant, and then entered the room first.
Others followed.
Chen Lin wanted to go in, but was pulled by the old man Ye Xuan.
The young man asked him gently, unable to conceal his shock:
“Chen Lin, it turns out they have a father-daughter relationship?!”
? ? ?
…
Small half a stick of incense.
Everyone sat down in the quiet room.
The Master walked in slowly. He was neatly and meticulously dressed. Although his head was full of gray hair, his face was rosy and he had the appearance of a child.
“I’ve called you here today to see the results of your cultivation this month.”
“Come forward and draw the talisman for me to see.”
The master's sleeves gently brushed across the desk in front of him, and talisman, paper, pens, cinnabar and other objects appeared.
Li Tao was the first to stand up and bowed his hands:
“Master, I come first.”
"Um."
The master nodded and asked Li Tao to step forward and draw the talisman.
The quiet room suddenly became quieter.
Chen Lin turned his head slightly and scanned the expressions of others.
The current scene is very similar to the teacher in the previous life who was checking and reciting one by one in the classroom...
Regardless of whether they have entered Taoism or not, everyone's faces can be seen to be a bit uneasy.
For example, the big man next to him, Li Mingzhang, could scold Sikong Lianyu just now, but now he clenched his teeth unconsciously, obviously feeling nervous.
A moment later.
Li Tao put down his brush.
The Master glanced at it and nodded:
“Not bad, I have finished drawing the talisman for finding people and detecting energy. Keep working hard and go back.”
Hearing the familiar words, Chen Lin probed his head.
Sure enough, I saw a charm on the case that I was so familiar with.
He has been using this spell in the martial arts world for a month, and he has to draw several pictures every day.
At this time.
Li Mingzhang next to him stood up, lowered his head and sighed: "Master, my disciple has not yet entered the Tao, so he cannot draw talismans."
The master couldn't see anything on his face, but calmly moved his gaze to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin immediately stood up and stepped forward.
Li Tao next to him just sat back down and immediately glanced at Li Mingzhang.
Seeing this person's sullen and embarrassed look, I couldn't help but smile, and I felt really happy...
