Chapter 54: Magic Pen Journey to the West
Su Yang did not return to Miyin Temple, but went to Jinhua City.
Paper men, carriages and horses followed Su Yang all the way. At this time, the whole thing was dark. Su Yang and Nie Xiaoqian walked on the night road as if they were normal, but after these paper men entered Jinhua City, they squeaked and loudly.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
The night patrolman and the constable heard the movement and came toward this side with a lantern, shouting: "Driving in the middle of the night must be something invisible, take it all for me!"
The constables next to them heard this and all surrounded this place. Su Yang and Nie Xiaoqian naturally passed through the group of these constables and walked straight away. When these constables surrounded these paper men, all the paper men were destroyed. With a "bang", each box fell on the ground, and gold, silver and jewelry fell all over the ground.
Such a strange thing made these constables frightened. Looking at the money on the ground, some of them dared not be greedy and hurriedly informed the county magistrate Bai Jia.
Su Yang and Nie Xiaoqian, one by one, walked into Meng Minduo's home.
Meng Minduo was torn clothes and ragged. He pushed open the door and saw that Su Yang and Nie Xiaoqian were both like gods. He did not feel ashamed. He turned his body and welcomed the two into the house. He lit the only oil lamp in the room. The green bean-sized light made the room more bright.
"Miss, you..."
Meng Minduo first saw Nie Xiaoqian, then bowed and said, "Thank you for saving me that day."
He was able to escape from the hands of the Rakshasa ghost because Nie Xiaoqian was helping him. Although he was just a glance, Nie Xiaoqian's appearance was deeply imprinted in his mind. When he saw it, he immediately recognized it.
"So it's you."
Xiaoqian nodded slightly. This person was also the reason why she was deeply trapped in the Rakshasa ghost cave. The Raksha ghost did not catch the person in front of her, but instead grabbed her into the ghost cave and forced her to help harm others. However, the first person she met happened to be Su Yang.
"Has anyone been rescued?"
After Meng Minduo thanked Xiaoqian, he looked at Su Yang and asked.
"Save it."
Su Yang nodded and smiled, took out a scroll in his arms, spread it out, and there were four figures inside, attached vividly to the scroll. As Su Yang shook his hand, the characters in the scroll naturally lived, turning over in the room, and he woke up as if he had just woken up from a dream.
"Brother Fang, Brother Xiao, Brother Li, Brother Wang."
Meng Minduo walked forward excitedly and reached out to grip the four brothers who appeared.
Fang Yue, Xiao Shangbin, Li Cheng, and Wang Shanshu are about the same age as Meng Minduo, all of whom are in their forties, and they all have vicissitudes of life and death. At this time, they left the Rakshasa ghost cave and returned to the world of the world. They met their friends again, as if they had been through life and death, and they were all very emotional.
After meeting each other, Meng Minduo led several brothers and introduced to Su Yang: "This is our disciple of Brother Li Anling and Li. Brother Li has passed away. He heard that we were suffering in Hangzhou and ran here thousands of miles to rescue us."
Fang Yue, Xiao Shangbin, Li Cheng, and Wang Shanshu all looked depressed when they heard that Li Anling had passed away and they all felt a little sad. The joy of escaping from death faded a lot, but when they heard that Su Yang heard that they were suffering, they traveled thousands of miles to rescue them, they were very moved.
"Brother Li also had such a righteous act of saving people from thousands of miles away."
Fang Yue murmured.
The five people looked at Su Yang and were all missing Li Anling.
Su Yang stood silently and let the five people miss it for a while. After they missed it, Su Yang asked: "The family master died in a hurry and many things were not explained, which made the boy confused when he came to Jiangnan. However, these Rakshasa demons were looking for the family master, but they didn't know why they were looking for the family master. Several elders were also involved in this matter. Can you know some of the inside story and solve the boy's doubts?"
Su Yang really didn't know much about the inside story about the original incident, but Li Anling did not explain the matter about Jiangnan. He thought he was worthy of others. As for how to make enemies with demons like the Rakshasa ghost, Su Yang was not clear about it.
The five people looked at each other and then looked at Nie Xiaoqian.
Xiaoqian stood there silently, and saw the eyes of several people, knowing that this matter was related to the secret, so she bowed to the few people, and passed by the wall.
The five people saw Xiaoqian leaving and then approached Su Yang. Seeing that there were really no outsiders on the left, they told Su Yang about what happened back then.
The five of them and Li Anling met before the imperial examination. Just one month before the imperial examination, the five of them invited immortals to write spirits in the mountains to ask if the imperial examination could be successful. The spiritist at that time was a witch who could understand the gods and hang a pen on a silk thread. After asking for immortals, the pen would be uncontrollable and would naturally wave it and write the results on the paper to convey the meaning of the gods.
This kind of fortune-telling method of spirit writing has been around for a long time in Daqian. When a few of them went to spirit writing, they only felt that the writing on the brush and ink would be as good as their lives, so they asked them to take out all the money.
"What the witch at that time said that the person she invited was Qiu Chuji."
Fang Yue still remembers what happened back then and introduced Su Yang.
Changchun Zhenren Qiu Chuji, a disciple of Wang Chongyang, a ancestor of the Longmen Sect, and a famous true immortal in the world. When Su Yang was in Laoshan, he also saw the remains of Qiu Chuji.
"At that time, Brother Li happened to walk out of the mountain and sat aside and watched. Seeing that we were respectful to "Qiu Chuji", he walked up and threw two pieces of silver, saying that he wanted to write the spirits as well."
Fang Yue recalled: "When the witch saw him take out two pieces of silver, she asked him to ask first. At that time, Brother Li asked "Journey to the West" was written by Changchun's real person? In the book, the mysterious meaning of the golden elixir evolved?"
Journey to the West...
When Su Yang heard this, he chuckled. He had seen the Monkey King Sun Wukong, who was a person who jumped out of Journey to the West. When Pu Songling was writing the Monkey King, he also mistakenly thought Qiu Chuji to be the person who wrote Journey to the West.
This is also the common understanding of many people in today's world.
As for the secret of the evolution of the golden elixir in the book, it is the title of the chapter in Journey to the West, which is vaguely consistent with the practice. Nouns such as "My Heart", "Mu Mother", "Heavenly Spirit", "Six Thieves", etc., are all practiced. Many people regard Journey to the West as a book of practice.
The spirit writing pen wrote “Yes” on the paper.
"Brother Li asked again that Changchun Zhenren was from the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, but in the book Journey to the West, the Jinyiwei of the Sai Kingdom, the Lijian of Zhu Zi Kingdom, the Dongcheng Army who destroyed France, the Grand Secretary of Emperor Taizong of Tang, and the Zhongshu Department of the Hanlin Academy, all of these are owned by Daqian. What does the gentleman answer?"
Even though it has been many years since, Fang Yue still remembers what happened back then and is very clear about it.
"After saying this, the pen was silent and would never answer again."
Fang Yue said: "When the witch saw this, she insisted on arguing with Brother Li. Brother Li just reached out to write a talisman and put the spirit writing pen on the ground, breaking the witch's magic power one after another, and letting the witch admit in front of him that she was just using our troublesome heart to do something here, and Brother Li let her go."
"We went to Brother Li to ask questions. Brother Li scolded us scholars for not working hard for ourselves during the imperial examination, and we welcomed the imperial examination with the determination to win. Instead, we still had this leisure to come to the mountains and came to ask for ghosts and gods with a chance and luck. He said that ghosts and gods only account for one of the things in the world, and the remaining 90% depends on you."
Su Yang nodded. What Li Anling said was indeed very reasonable.
This is also a rare thing that Su Yang knows from the other people that his master had done back then.
"After hearing Brother Li's words, we were both ashamed and ashamed."
Fang Yue said: "So we didn't ask about ghosts and gods, but instead asked him about other things and asked who should have written this Journey to the West."
Brother Li replied: "He really didn't know who wrote Journey to the West. Generally speaking, it should be written by people from Daqian. He just knew what the pen of Journey to the West looked like."
"At that time, Brother Li smiled and said to himself, 'The magic pen comes from the sky. Has it fallen from the sky?' Then he took out his magic pen and told us that the one who wrote the Journey to the West was this magic pen, and this magic pen has the ability to communicate with each other, the secret of painting, the ability to write talismans and note the gods, and the ability to write talismans and note the gods, and has the ability to vividly incredible."
Xiao Shangbin talked about this matter.
"well……"
When Su Yang heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. The fact that he made a fortune in silence was probably because he showed off that he would explain Su Yang in this way before he died.
What is the origin of Journey to the West? Even in modern times, it is generally believed that it was written by Wu Chengen. Whether it was written by Wu Chengen still needs to be verified. There is still a lack of some decisive evidence. Just like Qiu Chuji's "Journey to the West", when Qiu Chuji was 74 years old, he took his disciples and traveled five thousand miles westward to persuade Genghis Khan to respect the heavens and love the people, reduce massacres, and to hear on the road.
Wu Chengen's Journey to the West may also be just a geography.
The follow-up incident sounded quite bloody in Su Yang. When Li Anling's thought of kindness was released, the witch heard Li Anling's secret and became entangled in ambushing Li Anling. After a while, Li Anling and the magic pen became famous in Jiangnan. According to what Fang Yue knew, Li Anling once told him that even his fellow brothers had come to intercept him.
Later, some things that only Li Anling knew about were involved. When Li Anling met them again, he was very hasty and gave them five people a painting, and then they hurriedly disappeared. The five of them also fled from Wuyi to Jinhua with five paintings.
“Those paintings are stored in our homes.”
Wang Shanshu said to Su Yang.
"It's gone."
Su Yang said to Wang Shan: "You are just ordinary people. How can you keep the secret after falling into the hands of the demons? No matter how secret you hide your calligraphy and paintings, you have already been known to the Rakshasa ghost. Those paintings should have been sent to the Rakshasa Ghost King."
Su Yang counted the property in the Rakshasa ghost cave, and looked at the five people with discomfort. Su Yang smiled and said, "I am lucky to get it, but I am lucky to lose it, but I am just a few scrolls, which are not worth worrying about."
They have done enough to keep the picture for Li Anling to live like this.
