Chapter 15 Copying Scripture
"I've read your records. Since you've experienced extraordinary events, many things are easy to say."
Uncle Tie once again explained to Zhao Hao the various meanings of the world and the extraordinary.
Compared to the fat man, Uncle Tie said it more in detail and hit the nail on the head.
That feels very professional!
For example, when discussing policies, Fatty is the taxi driver, who is good at talking. But compared to an old professor like Uncle Tie, it is a bit less professional.
And Uncle Tie also said something that Zhao Hao had never heard of.
For example, a weird thing!
Zhao Hao had heard of this word in the fat man's mouth before, but the amount of information was too large at that time, so he didn't even bother to ask.
Uncle Tie said: "First of all, you must figure it out, it is a weird thing, a weird thing, not a ghost. This is very important, you must remember it!"
Zhao Hao nodded: It’s because there can’t be any ghosts! I know!
"Strange represents an unknown, abnormal and unexplainable phenomenon, thing or individual."
"Most of them have more or less negative effects, some of which can be extremely dangerous and even cause huge disasters."
"The level of the genius is the same as that of the extraordinary, with a total of 5 levels (not mortals). Because there are many and different numbers, the Mysterious Bureau numbered them..."
"The main work of the Mysterious Bureau over the years is to deal with the tricks that appear in the world. The management of extraordinary people must be placed behind..."
After talking for a while, Uncle Tie also said what the fat man said to Zhao Hao: I know too much, it is not good for you now.
"The mysterious knowledge and principles of the world in the world are also a burden, and if it exceeds it, it will harm people. The more you know, the more serious the burden."
"So Zhuangzi said: My life is boundless, but my knowledge is boundless. With the limitless, I follow the limitless, and I am almost gone."
"So the information and knowledge of the world, and even the existence of the world and the extraordinary, are generally not easily told to mortals. Doing that will often harm the other party!"
"And some taboo knowledge is extremely dangerous. Even if you become curious about it, you may suffer danger!"
"Those taboo knowledge usually involves mysterious existences such as strange gods, strange things, strange realms, etc. How do you say that? When you look at the abyss, the abyss is also watching you."
The "Xuanjun Seven Chapters of the Secret Sutra" says: I often hear that people do not diligently seek knowledge, but those who know are diligently seek people. However, I know that it is wrong. Those who know are not seeking people, but they actually come out and chase people. Their profound and ruthlessness are like hawks and dogs chasing rabbits.
Meaning: I heard that it is not actually people who are constantly pursuing knowledge, but knowledge is constantly pursuing people. But I know that this statement is wrong. Knowledge is not pursuing people, but pursuing people. Its pursuit is cruel and has no emotions, just like a falcon and a hunting dog catching a rabbit.
So, many times, you can't do it without contact.
Because once you are involved in certain events, those dangerous knowledge will take the initiative to chase you! You can't even hide!
...
Uncle Tie found a heavy book and handed it to Zhao Hao, and brought him paper and pen.
"Draw according to the calligraphy and paintings on the scriptures. This is the basic skill. I guess you will have to draw it for a few months... Don't ask, copy it, you will naturally tell you when the conditions come."
Zhao Hao looked at the strange scripture in front of him. What a guy, he was as thick as the Xinhua Dictionary!
But there is not much content, because one page is two or three millimeters thick, and I don’t know what material the cover or page is made of, such as leather or cork?
In short, my waist is no longer sore, my legs are no longer hurting, and a page is as good as dozens of ordinary pages!
Zhao Hao picked it up and looked at the last one: 1937, published by Xinsong Bookstore, an internal publication of the Central Daoyuan, strictly prohibited from spreading it?!
Zhao Hao:???(?Д?), are you kidding me? Are there pirated books in the world? Which book stall did Uncle Tie find this thing? Is Biquge?
What's even more strange is that the text in that book!
According to Uncle Tie, this thing is a scripture. But Zhao Hao didn't recognize the word "六".
It's like a bent seal script, with a hieroglyphic meaning, but the strokes are illusory and imaginative.
It’s like a pattern made up of several drunk earthworms! How could this be copied? This is a copy!
And the word was extremely awkward, and just looking at it, I felt a little uncomfortable.
Even Zhao Hao stared at those words and was stunned when he saw them. When he came back to his senses, he had been there for a long time!
When Zhao Hao saw Uncle Tie fiddling with old objects on his own, he ignored him and said to himself: Copy it! Do whatever he wants!
Don't worry about anything else, can't you be fully prepared?
This is to be an apprentice to the extraordinary! According to Uncle Tie, in addition to some basic knowledge of the extraordinary, he will also teach him some knowledge on antiques.
If this was in ancient times, if you had been studying for three years, you would have to pay the tuition for five years for your master to work for free!
Not to mention some closed disciples, they want to provide care for the master to see him off.
Copy! Zhao Hao still has this kind of patience.
But this thing is really weird. You can copy it just by wanting to copy it!
Zhao Hao was so illusioned that he couldn't show off his words.
And if you keep your eyes on the word ", you will often have some special mental conditions.
If you are unable to concentrate, you will inexplicably lose your mind and even have auditory hallucinations. You will suddenly think of something, and you will be distracted and unable to calm down, you will be confused, you will be upset, and you will be restless.
The more carefully you look, the longer you look, the more obvious this phenomenon is!
There is definitely something wrong with this scripture! No wonder Uncle Tie said he would copy it for several months!
In the end, Zhao Hao gritted his teeth and was patient. He only copied three words in the morning, but he was only three-point like them!
If it weren't for Zhao Hao's description, he wouldn't know which three words he described!
After copying for a whole morning, Zhao Hao was exhausted. It was not until noon that Uncle Tie called him for dinner that he realized that he was sweating profusely and his shirt was soaked!
Lunch is cooked by Uncle Tie, and his skills are good. It can be seen that he has no wife...
Therefore, Zhao Hao felt much more relieved and ate three more bowls of rice.
Perhaps because Zhao Hao had a good copying attitude in the morning, Uncle Tie explained to him during his meal: the words on the scriptures are called Yunzhuan, and the whole scriptures are written in Yunzhuan, which are the words used in Taoist talismans.
Yunzhuan also has another explanation: refers to the smoke that lingers when burning incense.
You can imagine what shape it is!
Uncle Tie held the bowl and ate and patted the cucumber with a light face. He said, "Copying scriptures can help you stabilize your soul. In this way, it is to stabilize the san value and prevent some spiritual energy from distorting your mind. Many spiritual energy have attribute tendencies and can easily affect contacts, while some evil spiritual energy is even more dangerous..."
Psychic energy is the foundation of the extraordinary, also known as spiritual power, also called spiritual qi, some say it is chakra, some say it is etheric, and some say it is Mana, all of which are the same thing.
Most supernatural forces are this, but the channels and performance are different.
Before contacting psychic energy, Zhao Hao must first stabilize his soul, or stabilize and improve his mental value.
As for the mental abnormalities that Zhao Hao encountered when copying scriptures, they were all very basic.
When can Zhao Hao easily copy a whole scripture without any mental agitation, even if he passes this level, he can get in touch with spiritual energy.
Uncle Tie calculated before and said that there was no business today, but no customers came to the door that afternoon.
However, Uncle Tie did not ask Zhao Hao to continue copying scriptures. He said too much, and he should proceed step by step when entering the extraordinary circle.
In the afternoon, Uncle Tie and Zhao Hao talked about a lot of extraordinary circles, basic common sense, precautions and anecdotes in the world, and gave him a handwritten brochure.
"Introduction to the World of the Inner", the first page reads the author Colt Annikon.
This must be produced by the Mysterious Bureau!
Then there are some introductory books for the appreciation of antiques given by Uncle Tie. Being an extraordinary person is only part of it, and Zhao Hao has to become an apprentice in the antique shop.
Uncle Tie also talked about Zhao Hao’s salary and benefits. The mysterious bureau gave him a basic salary of $1,500. If he participated in the task in the future, he would have a commission.
The antique shop gives you $300 a month to serve a lunch, and there is also a commission for participating in antique transactions.
This treatment is really good!
Just relying on the basic salary given by the Mysterious Bureau, I can get rid of poverty and achieve a well-off life!
No wonder Fatty said that the mysterious bureau basically raises extraordinary people from wild ways to avoid taking risks due to economic problems.
Besides, Zhao Hao is now like a graduate student taught by a professor. His income is not the key, but learning skills are the key. Maybe Uncle Tie has to give his performance a score.
No, it should be a more traditional apprenticeship system in the Song Dynasty.
PS:
I traded with an author friend and recommended each other's works.
The author of "Whispering Poems" is also an old man in Thorn Cat, so everyone can enjoy it with confidence.
Chapter completed!
