When AI intelligent people meet fierce gods
Chapter 011 Heavenly Wizards
"A mere small anchor, how can I bother the president and Brother Luo to wait for him?"
In front of the largest Taoist temple in Lujiang City, a young Taoist priest complained dissatisfied.
In front of him, Qing Yunzi and his unlucky junior brother Luo Bu were standing quietly at the door.
Even the legendary Boss Feng made a special phone call to inquire about Yi Qi's itinerary.
Such a grand treatment will naturally attract dissatisfaction from others.
The young Taoist priest who complained, commonly known as Dai Beihe, was a leader among the younger generation of the Taoist Association.
This time, he followed his master and also came to the Daoist Association Conference.
Because of his outstanding talent since he was a child, Dai Beihe was raised to be arrogant.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for a little-known little anchor, he couldn't help but speak a bit sourly: "A mortal who doesn't know Taoism can only show off some tricks in the live broadcast. I really don't know which point caught the eyes of the brothers." ?”
"Careful in words and deeds."
Qingyunzi felt a little noisy, and finally gave him a look: "The person who can be favored by that living ancestor must have something extraordinary."
Dai Beihe wanted to say something more, but because of the president's face, he finally kept his mouth shut, but his face showed a bit of dissatisfaction.
Not long after, there was a cold voice: "Please wait for a long time, everyone."
Dai Beihe followed the prestige to look, but couldn't help being stunned.
I saw a handsome figure approaching, with snow-dyed white hair hanging down, skin like warm jade, a pair of silver-gray eyes that were clear and clear, not stained by dust, and his whole body was magnificent.
Looking at this young man with pines and emerald greens, Dai Beihe was dazed for a moment before he came back to his senses, his face was reddish, he coughed uncomfortably, and looked away.
Seeing Yi Qi arriving as scheduled, Qing Yunzi greeted him with a reserved smile on his face: "Mr. Yi, the poor man is Qing Yunzi."
After finishing speaking, he pulled the little Taoist priest beside him and introduced him, "This is my ineffective junior brother, Luo Bu."
Hearing this name, Yi Qi remembered the golden-eyed thief from before, and instinctively frowned slightly.
Then he stretched his brows and shook hands with the other party: "The weird man I met in the old house before turned out to be pretending to be the Taoist priest."
The real Luo Bu looks gentle and fair, with a thin body and a bandage on his forehead. At this time, he smiled bitterly and said, "It's because I'm not as good as others. Curse."
"cough!"
Qingyunzi coughed suddenly, and reminded him lightly: "Junior brother can just call me my Taoist name, and there is no need to mention my common name before becoming a monk in front of outsiders."
"Understood, Senior Brother Gou." Luo Bu replied obediently.
Qing Yunzi was sullen, raised his hand and knocked him on the head.
It turned out that although Qing Yunzi was born with a loose crane bone and a clear breeze and bright moon, his surname was "Gou" before he became a Taoist priest.
The common name is Gou Fugui.
Daoist Gou Fugui, who had been exposed, wanted to beat his junior brother again, but Luo Bu immediately covered the wound on his forehead, grinning and moaning in pain.
Seeing that the other party started to play tricks, he could only let go of his hands regretfully, tidy up the Taoist robe on his body, and return to Qing Yunzi with immortal style and bones again.
"Please!"
He raised his hand to lead the way for Yiqi.
Yi Qi nodded slightly, and walked with the other party, but when passing by the entrance of the Taoist temple, he stopped slightly and glanced to the left.
On the left side of the Taoist gate, a green cypress seedling is planted, only half a person's height, and it is a piece of greenery.
"Why didn't your honor stop?" Qing Yunzi asked with a smile.
Yi Qi shook his head slightly: "I just heard the laughter of children!"
The subtle, crisp laughter came from the gaps between the green cypress leaves, ordinary people could not detect it, but it was captured by his ears.
When looking at the cypress tree again, Yi Qi quietly adjusted the parameters of his iris.
In a world invisible to ordinary people, the magnetic field is centered around the cypress tree, and the spectrum fluctuates among the branches and leaves. A child's image appears, hiding himself behind the cypress tree as if playing hide-and-seek.
Qingyunzi followed his gaze, his face was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized and waved to Baishu: "Go back and find your master, don't play here!"
The branches and leaves of the cypress tree "crashed", and gradually receded with the sound of children laughing and laughing.
Qing Yunzi turned his head and explained to Yi Qi: "This is the soul of a child who died young. Because of resentment in his heart, he wanted to harm others later, and was captured by a Taoist uncle like me."
"Master uncle pitied him for suffering from an early death, so he accepted him as a disciple and kept him by his side to practice and influence him every day. But this child is naughty, probably sneaked out to play by himself while the master uncle was not paying attention."
After explaining, he looked at Yi Qi with a complex expression, his eyes filled with amazement: "I, Mr. Guan Yi, have no cultivation, but just now I can see the shape of the soul at a glance..."
Listening to the underworld, watching yin and yang, and being born with white hair, is this the so-called innate supernatural power?
Qingyunzi admired silently in his heart, then pulled Yiqi up and entered the Taoist temple together.
There were only two people left outside the Taoist temple.
"Wake up, don't be stupid!"
Luo Bu poked the fellow daoist who was still in a daze: "Senior brother and distinguished guests have already entered the door, are you going to stay here and be the door god?"
It was only then that Dai Beihe came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.
Thinking of his gaffe just now, he immediately blushed with embarrassment and scolded himself in his heart for being worthless, but he was actually fooled by a good skin!
And it's still a man's skin...
With a blushing face, he grabbed Senior Brother Luo Bu and shouted "Let's go now", but he walked slowly, not daring to keep up with the two people in front, for fear that he would lose his composure again.
In the lobby of the Taoist temple, there are many seniors from the Taoist world gathering together in twos and threes to discuss their recent practice experience.
Because it was just an internal exchange meeting, most of the people present were in a relaxed mood.Many masters simply burned incense and cleaned their hands on the spot, spread paper and rubbed ink, and demonstrated the magic of Taoism, talisman and seal!
On the left side, there is an expert who writes like a god, and the yellow paper is painted with cinnabar, and the "Five Thunder Town House Talisman" was completed in one go.
On the right side, someone started with a pen, finished the painting, and drew a "Liu Ding Liu Jia Amulet", and then recited the divine mantra to pardon it.
The five ghost fortune talismans, the evil magic retreat talisman, the god general's body protection and life-saving talisman, the six animal prosperity talisman... All the masters tried their best to show the results of their years of practice, and used it to educate the younger generation to observe and learn.
Although Yi Qi didn't wear Taoist robes, he mixed in with a group of young Taoist priests indiscriminately, recording the process of making talisman seals with his eyes, trying to figure it out with his heart.
Soon, he figured out a little bit of fun.
These Taoist talisman seals are somewhat similar to programming. Through specific strokes and graphics, power can be hidden on a piece of talisman paper to dissipate the chaotic and disordered magnetic field in this world.
He silently recorded all the process.
At this time, someone finally found him, a fake Taoist priest who had mixed into the crowd, and immediately shouted, "Who are you?"
Qing Yunzi stepped forward, protected Yi Qi behind him, and explained his identity to the seniors.
"It turned out to be a distinguished guest invited by the president!"
Even the seniors in the Taoism world had to give Qing Yunzi a bit of a slack, and most of them greeted Yi Qi politely.
But there are still people who blow their beards and stare at this, and are very dissatisfied: "This is an internal communication in my Dao world. Why did the president invite an ordinary person who doesn't understand anything? Can he understand Dao Seal Talisman Records?"
Yi Qi tilted his head slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "I just learned some knowledge, you can try it."
Hearing what he said, everyone burst into laughter.
Such complicated talisman seals are all painstakingly studied by the seniors for decades. An ordinary person has learned a little bit by watching, and wants to imitate if he has a half-knowledge?
dream!
Yi Qi didn't care about other people's ridicule, he found yellow paper cinnabar and drew directly with a brush.
Now, the ridicule among the crowd is even worse: "Fu seals can't be drawn casually, and an altar needs to be set up in advance. If there is no altar, you have to use the method of inviting immortals."
"Before drawing talismans, you need to use three plates of fruit and three cups of tea and wine to offer in front of the shrine, and then you need to purify your heart, body, face, hands, and mouth, and prepare incense candles and other sacrifices. Paper..." (Note 1)
Everyone laughed and corrected mistakes, but Yi Qi was not affected at all, and the talismans and seals on the paper were completed in one stroke.
The laughter stopped abruptly.
An old senior shook his gray beard, tremblingly picked up the talisman paper, put it in front of his eyes and observed it carefully, and shouted in horror: "It's the "Leibu Town House Spirit Talisman", it's a good deal!"
Not only is this talisman usable, but it is exactly the same as those drawn by those masters with decades of experience. There is a faint thunder in the cinnabar strokes.
In an instant, the crowd who were still laughing and sneering just now was in an uproar.
"Impossible, an ordinary person who has never learned Taoism..."
The Taoist priests objected one after another, but Yi Qi picked up his pen and ink again, and began to draw different talisman seals one after another.
Ordinary Taoist priests often need to spend a lot of effort to draw a talisman seal with divine light.
But Yiqi is like a human-shaped copier. In just a few minutes, he drew dozens of talisman seals in one breath, and each one is restrained and divine.
The ebullient crowd became silent again, and the Taoist seniors who had maintained their identities before, stared round one by one at this time, regardless of their identities, pushed aside the crowd, and rushed to hold these talismans in their hands to observe.
A few minutes ago, the talisman seals drawn by Yi Qi were still in the stage of pure imitation.
A few minutes later, through big data analysis, he quickly extracted the strengths of each family, integrated them, and depicted them with his own hands.
The talisman seal he drew at this time can be called a masterpiece, and no one can draw it at this stage.
The gray-bearded old Taoist priests were holding pieces of talismans and seals, each with a dull expression.
Even Qing Yunzi, who invited Yi Qi, was so startled that his lips trembled at this moment, and he muttered incoherently: "No wonder... this person can be favored by that... It's because I'm too small!"
Just at this time, Dai Beihe pulled Luo Bu, the two of them walked slowly behind, and finally rushed over.
Dai Beihe was deeply puzzled when he saw the dull expressions of all the Taoists in the hall: "What's the matter?"
Could it be that these people, like me, were also bewitched by their beauty?
When he was wondering, he saw his gray-haired master suddenly staggering, holding a talisman, with tears in his eyes, and sighed up to the sky: "It is worthwhile to be a poor man to see such a genius!"
Dai Beihe: "..."
Who can tell him what plot he missed in just a few minutes?
……
The Daoism exchange meeting lasted until the evening.
Yi Qi refused again and again, and finally, surrounded by the enthusiasm of the elders in the Taoist world, he successfully broke through and returned home.
In his pocket he still had a few Taoist classics presented by Qing Yunzi, and on his body was a group photo of him and the Taoist priests.
He stands in the C position!
Yi Qi returned home very tired, but saw two sisters, Li Yindi and Li Chaodi, both standing in front of the window on the second floor, carefully looking out the window.
He tiptoed over and stood with the two sisters, looking out equally curiously.
On the first floor of the old house, a tall and thin figure wandered back and forth outside the courtyard.
From the dim streetlights nearby, it could be seen that the figure was a young man.
The young man's figure was very thin, like a bamboo pole trembling in the wind, with two dark circles under his eyes on his pale face, making him look extremely haggard.
He lingered outside the old house for a long time and wanted to step into the courtyard many times, but every time at a critical moment, he always took back his steps and hesitated.
Standing downstairs blankly for an unknown amount of time, the young man bit his lip, took out a stack of yellow paper joss sticks and paper ingots from his arms, knelt down in front of the gate of the old house and kowtowed three times before starting to burn the paper money .
Li Yindi, the youngest, held his own head in his arms, stared at the young man burning paper downstairs for a long time, then suddenly raised his finger to him, and shouted vaguely:
"younger brother……"
