A Guide to Modern Cultivation

This year, September [-]nd was only Monday, so Yunling and the others started classes on this day.At this time, the freshmen are training in the small woods to the east of the freshman dormitory, so the only ones who will use Qianshan Royal Crane Garden at this time are the new sophomores like Yunling and the others.

Early in the morning, I rode a crane and flew up the mountain, and once again felt the pleasure of riding a crane to the west. Many students sighed while riding: "Oh, we are not allowed to take the crane to participate in the competition this time. I am afraid that many people will be scared." Forgot the nickname of our school!"

"Yes, yes, it is a reckless waste! How beautiful are the cranes in our school? How big are they?"

A classmate suddenly raised his mobile phone and said loudly: "I recorded a video of us riding a crane to school, and I will send it to Wangshan in a while!"

"I record it too, I record it too!"

A group of students got excited again, and took out their mobile phones to record. Several students who are more talented in social media and video have already discussed that they might as well make some series of videos at school and post them online, which can be regarded as doing for the school. Promoted.

Ever since the revelation of spiritual energy recovery was exposed to the public, there are students in all major colleges who will make various small videos shot in the school, but the focus is either on the students themselves, or on spiritual pets (such as Senior Sister Li Xin). Few students will deliberately photograph some of the uniqueness of the school itself.

Therefore, as soon as those students discussed and found that there were no students in the school who were dedicated to doing this, they all became excited. Before they got off the crane, all the plans were ready.

After they came to the Imperial Crane Garden close to the top of the mountain, everyone realized belatedly—that’s right, from today onwards, the place where they are going to attend class has risen one level again, and it is almost close to the top of the mountain. !

It is said that part of the school buildings of the third and fourth grades are also the same as those of the sophomores, not to mention the alchemy room, quiet room (for making talismans and refining formations), the refining room, and the practice room that students usually rent. an area.The practice room that Yunling and the others rented during the last semester and summer vacation is here, and they are quite familiar with the road here.

Soon, a group of people came to the Fulu classroom. In the room, there were short tables and blue futons behind the short tables. After entering, the students found their favorite seats and sat down according to their usual habits. , quietly waiting for the teacher's arrival.

At exactly nine o'clock, a slightly pudgy Taoist teacher, dressed in a Taoist robe and a Taoist temple, walked into the classroom.

Before entering the sophomore year, the students and the junior seniors who participated in the sports meeting together had the opportunity to get close for a long time, so they found out a lot of news about the sophomore semester.Among them is the personal information about the teacher Zhou who taught Fulu—this teacher, like Teacher Li, is also Teacher Yan's junior.

The students who heard the news expressed their great anticipation and apprehension. The reason for the expectation was that Teacher Yan is very good, and Teacher Li, who is the younger brother of Teacher Yan, is also very good. Therefore, everyone thinks that the quality of teaching should be very reliable.The reason for anxiety is that although Teacher Yan is a little cold, he has a good temper and personality, but Teacher Li's personality...well, it is not something ordinary people can bear anyway, so everyone is afraid that Teacher Zhou has a similar personality. But there are some who suffer.

At this moment, Mr. Zhou walked into the room, and seeing his slightly round face with a gentle smile, all the students were relieved in their hearts—I don’t know if they were influenced by Yuan The influence of the teacher, anyway, all the students subconsciously feel that this kind of teacher with a fleshy figure and a round face should have a good personality.

Regardless of Mr. Zhou's own personality, at least he looks quite gentle when he is in class.

At this time, he sat cross-legged on the futon slightly higher than the podium in front of him, faced the students with a faint smile and said, "Today, what I teach you is the lesson of talismans. The way of talismans is natural, and someone draws it... "

What Mr. Zhou is going to teach is mainly about talismans, because most of the talismans need to be hand-painted.The vast majority of talisman seals can only be made with various materials and under certain needs, just like some talisman seals that require special circumstances to be made.

In the future learning process, the school mainly teaches all kinds of hand-painted talismans, and other special talisman and talisman seal production methods. Students need to go to the library to take elective courses. If there is something they don’t understand, they can ask the teacher for advice. , but the teacher will not occupy the time of formal teaching to explain.

After Yunling and the others entered their sophomore year, the school's teaching philosophy has become clear.

In the sophomore year, the school will organize textbooks to actively teach students some relevant professional knowledge, but after the junior year, after the students choose their future direction, in addition to some knowledge points that must be understood by the students of the major In addition, it is the time for students to study by themselves. Only on a certain day of the week or even every month, the teachers will take time to answer the students.

This is somewhat similar to the professor model in ancient sects. The more in-depth it is, the more self-consciousness of the students is needed.

Therefore, after junior and senior years, many students will go to the back mountain for long-term retreat, or leave school to practice on their own, and go to some departments that offer olive branches for internships.

Generally speaking, when drawing talismans in Taoism, all kinds of preparations need to be made in advance, and some special talismans need to worship the gods when making them.However, the requirements for cultivators and Qi practitioners to make talismans are not so strict.It can be said that most of the talismans drawn by Taoist priests are made with the help of various gods and natural forces, and in the process of using them, the power of gods and the power of heaven and earth must be mobilized to achieve their effects-this is true when all the gods are suspected to be silent. Today, it is rare to hear that someone can draw successfully.

But the talismans made by the monks use their own spiritual power and the spiritual power in the surrounding space to use them into the brush, and walk a specific route in the talisman, thus sealing the power into the talisman.Therefore, many of the talismans produced are equal to the one-time application of a certain spell. Although there are some that can arouse the power of heaven and earth, they are essentially different from the talismans drawn by Taoist priests.

What made people feel that drawing talismans was more friendly was that even monks who didn’t know a certain spell could still draw them on talismans—although the success rate of such direct drawing was definitely not as high as that of people who were familiar with spells.

In addition, the most important point is that talismans cannot be made by mechanized methods. This seems to be because each piece of talisman paper and each drop of ink has subtle differences, so it must be hand-painted to make fine adjustments to spiritual power at any time.Therefore, even if the same talisman is drawn by the same person, there will be subtle differences in effects and characteristics.

In the first class on the first day of school, after explaining the most basic drawing method, Mr. Zhou gave a basic drawing method of the water mirror symbol.They have seen this kind of talisman Yunling in the dark street before. Its function is to designate a position in front of the user after use, forming a water mirror with refraction effect, similar to Yunling and the others' Breeze Shield.

The difference is that the water mirror can refract attacks, but its own power is very small, and the breeze shield has no other effect except protection.

It is said that the power is small, but if the monk who draws this spell is powerful, and after using this spell purely, its effect will definitely not be inferior to that of a powerful shield, and if the method of use is flexible enough, it may even make Attacks are refracted back to the attacker.However, the introduction to this spell is relatively shallow, especially because of its own characteristics, even if you fail to draw a talisman, there will be no greater danger than the talisman being invalidated, so it is used as the first practice of getting started. symbol.

The materials used by Yunling and the others to draw talismans need to be adjusted according to different talismans. The requirements for drawing basic and low-level spells are not that high. Can.

In this first class, when the students were in contact with each other, they deeply realized why the school would teach calligraphy to students throughout the freshman year - when drawing talismans, there are many places that need One-stroke penetrating, and there are different requirements for the thickness and weight of strokes at different positions, so those who have learned calligraphy and those who have not, will definitely have a huge difference when learning talismans!

Yunling and Wei Jingcheng took an extra course on their own when they were freshmen. In addition to practicing calligraphy, they usually draw ink paintings, line drawings, etc.During the practice time in the second half of this class, the two of them quickly mastered the drawing method of the water mirror symbol, and successfully drew a complete symbol on the practice rice paper!

Before class ended, Teacher Zhou still looked around the class with a faint smile: "Before class on Monday next week, everyone must successfully draw at least one water mirror talisman. Only one piece of talisman paper can be drawn successfully.” Ten pieces of talisman paper are given out to each person, and Mr. Zhou doesn’t care whether the other nine pieces are drawn successfully or not, as long as one is successfully drawn in class.

Even if some students are very talented about talismans, and all the other nine are drawn successfully, they would like to keep those talismans for their own use, or give them away, exchange them for points with the school, or simply take them out online or in dark streets The school and the teachers don't care about selling it online.At the same time, even if a student succeeds by only drawing one or two pieces, and leaves a blank talisman paper to be used when learning other talismans in the next class, the teachers will not interfere.

This is why many of the talismans sold on the dark street are claimed to be drawn by the students of the top five schools.

Although you can use points to exchange for talismans directly at school, but after all, it requires money, doesn't it?So all the students put away the talisman papers with great care, got up and finished class with their own stationery, and walked towards Yuheyuan.
