Chapter 139: Vermilion Seal under the Lamp, Dark Articles of Eight Diagrams (Part 2)
Chapter 139: The vermilion seal under the lamp, the gossip dark article (Part 2)
When Feng Junzi was expelled from the Palace of Forgetfulness by Master Tianyue, he only brought out four things: a teapot and three volumes of Taoist scriptures. The teapot was an ordinary thing he used to drink water in the Palace of Forgetfulness, which was the handful of purple-qi and red cloud-spirited chrysanthemum sand that he never left with his hands every day. Those three volumes of the book were the collection of the Palace of Forgetfulness. Feng Junzi had not finished reading it before he had put it in his arms. The Taoist scriptures contained in the classics were not the magic formulas of the nine gates of the Palace of Forgetfulness, and Tianyue did not say that he would not let him take it away. However, the records of these three volumes of the book were also the secrets of the Taoist scriptures that are difficult to find in the world and should not be easily shown to others. Feng Junzi asked Qixin to repair it himself, and even Mr. Xuanhua did not show him.
Of course, it is also beneficial for Qixin to help Feng Junzi repair these three books. At least she must have remembered the contents above. These are all Taoisms that are not available in the Zhongnan School. In addition to these three books, the mathematical works I stolen from the Meiwending Memorial Hall were also handed over to Qixin to repair. It is nothing in terms of content, but these things themselves are not convenient to see the light, and it may be troublesome to walk away from the wind.
It took less than two months for the masters to repair other books - in fact, the pages were not completely torn apart, and some books were just torn apart. However, it took nearly half a year from beginning to end to repair the volume of Qixin Repair, and there was a little accident in the middle.
First of all, we have to sort out the scattered pages before we can splice and bind them. After Qixin sorted out these pages, he had to pick one page of paper in each book to test the paper preservation and decide how to frame it. All the other books were nothing unusual, but they found strange in one of the ancient Mei Scrolls. She soaked a half of the broken book in a special warm water, and carefully picked up the double-layer paper pages, but found that there were also words on the back of the page!
Two pieces of ancient books are glued together into one page, how can there be words on the back of the page? This book uses a very rare paper at that time, and has undergone special technical processing, similar to the process of soaking alum wax. Such paper is not very light-transmitting, and although thin, the ink mark on one side will not penetrate the back of the paper. Qi Xin found that there were words on the back of the page and told Feng Junzi, asking him what to do? If these words were repaired as it was, they would not be visible.
Feng Junzi was also very interested. He asked Qixin to deal with this book first, that is, to first pick out all the pages, whether good or bad, to see what is written on the back? The contents of the back of the pages are not mathematical works or Taoist scriptures, but some unofficial history, anecdotes, and landscapes in Wucheng's history. These things are equivalent to the current gossip news. The ancients actually wrote more gossip than modern people, which were mixed with all kinds of strange and mysterious things. If someone doesn't believe it, I recommend you to read the most classic "New Words on the Tales of the World".
Feng Junzi couldn't understand what the mystery was, so he made a decision. The booklet should be repaired as it was, and the old should be framed and bound. But before that, the contents behind the page were recorded first. This was to be placed in the past, and it could only be copied and copied, but now a more convenient new technology is known as photocopying. At that time, there were not many places that could provide photocopying, and only the archives and libraries had equipment. The fragments of the book were connected and clipped into two plastic pages for photocopying. Feng Junzi bound the photocopying pages into a book, making it a book that had not been before.
Feng Junzi took this "Ancient Gossip News" back and read it for three days and three nights, and then found me specially. One afternoon after school, he pulled me to the top scholar bridge. He first asked me in a low voice: "Ishino, should I thank you for my father?"
"Thank me? What do you thank? I have never dealt with your dad."
Feng Junzi: "My parents closed the door and whispered in their room yesterday, and I heard it too. The organization department talked to my father and wanted to promote him to the municipal government. My father didn't react much, and my mother giggled happily... You slapped Yang Datong with great pleasure! Even my family was touched."
"You, you guessed it was me?"
Feng Junzi: "Nonsense! Who among the people I know would use cinnabar palm like this? I don't even know how to use it myself! I remember that half of the secret book was given to you last year."
"I did it, I have a reason!"
Feng Junzi: "You did such a big thing that shocked Wucheng with me on your back. It's best to make it clear."
I knew the seriousness of the impact of this matter, and no one told me. The only ones who were insiders were Director Gu and Qu Ling. But no one could hide it from Feng Junzi. The secret book of Cinnabar Palm was given to me by him. Since he asked today, I would carefully tell Feng Junzi about the cause and effect.
After hearing this, he was so angry that he stamped his feet: "Good job! Damn it, you should have dealt with him long ago. Shi Ye, I admire you. I invite you to drink today - to Zhiweilou."
He wanted to invite me to drink but said he went to Zhiweilou. I really don’t know who invited whom. I smiled and said, “Well, don’t let others hear it. What do you admire me? If it were you, I think you would do this too.”
Feng Junzi: "I admire you not because you did it, but because you did it ingeniously. It is easy to find an opportunity to slap him twice, but it is not something that ordinary people can think of. If it were me, I wouldn't have done it so beautifully."
"What would you do if it were you?" I was very interested in asking Feng Junzi.
Feng Junzi thought for a long time: "I may violate the precepts of the world of cultivation as soon as I take action. I must have a reasonable cause and effect. Let me think about it... find an opportunity to secretly release Xiao Erhei while he is unprepared and slander him! Let him leave a hidden disease that will never be able to describe for life, and he will never be able to attack other people's daughter. What do you think?"
I almost laughed out loud. His method was very detrimental: "I think it's good, but..."
Feng Junzi: "But if I violate the precepts, it may lead to other accidents, and it is not a way to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot. It's better for you to do it! I'm only interested in one question now. You didn't explain it clearly just now. - What did you do in the end when Qu Ling looked for you? Did you do it in the end?"
His tone was clearly asking me if I had sex with Qu Ling? I replied a little embarrassedly: "Feng Junzi, can I not tell you?"
Feng Junzi looked at me, as if he was looking at something very interesting: "That is your privacy, and Qu Ling's privacy. Of course you can't tell me! I just didn't ask. But I want to tell you that since you didn't say anything to me, let alone tell others... Actually, I have nothing else to mean, I'm just a little curious. Even if you do that, I can't say anything about you."
"Oh, why?"
Feng Junzi sighed: "Of course it's not good to get involved in the fun, but after all, there is a reason for this. Since you already have someone, you shouldn't provoke Qu Ling. But then again - a girl like Qu Ling is better than being ruined by a dog official. After all, you are a good person, and there are not many good people like you in this world."
"What do you mean? Can good people do whatever they want?"
Feng Junzi: "Who said you can do it? If you do it again, even if I don't want to deal with you, I will deal with her brother Shiye for Liu Yiyi... But the so-called blessings in this world are sometimes the same as money. Some people are not worthy of it at all, but they have too much. For some people, whether men or women, they are not worthy of having that, they are a little bit too much! But for people like you, I can't say much more... Of course, these are all about ordinary people. We are practitioners, and we don't pay attention to these things... Why don't you speak? I see that there are clearly questions in your eyes. Ask if you have any questions!"
I was indeed a little confused when he said this. I also wanted to ask clearly and said in a debatable tone: "Can't practitioners have desires? What they practice is the great way. If they still have children's affection, how can they become immortals?"
Feng Junzi's face darkened: "Who did you hear these words?"
"This is what many fairy tale novels are written in, and so are many masters in movies and TV."
Feng Junzi: "Don't let it go! You, bastard, how did you use these things made by laymen to talk to me about real practice? Is it written in Zhengzang's alchemy book? Have you taught your mantras and mental methods?... According to this statement, you and I are not considered practicing. Since ancient times, the eunuchs and widowed women in the palace have become immortals! Is this the truth?... What I teach you is the four gates and twelve levels, not the Sunflower Book!"
"I'm just talking casually, don't be angry. So what do you think should be done with these things?"
Feng Junzi: "I have told you those four words long ago - if you have something to do, practice, practice the way, and do it. You are not selecting the top ten outstanding young men of model soldiers and models - no one wants you to not go to bed, just don't go to the wrong bed, go to bed randomly, and go to bed when you shouldn't... But then again, your emotional entanglement between men and women in the world seems a little complicated. There is one thing I have always forgotten to ask you, when you practice Jade Liquor, did you see that Jade Liquor had color?"
"It's colored, slightly pink."
Feng Junzi smiled: "So that's the case, the reason lies in yourself. A first-class temperament is also a temperament!"
"What's going on? You haven't told me before?"
Feng Junzi: "Didn't you tell me if you have something to do? I won't tell you today. I'll interrupt you and almost forgot the serious things. Today I came to you to show you something - I found this in the Mei family scroll."
Feng Junzi handed me the photocopy of the ancient book and explained its bizarre origin. I took it in my hand and flipped it over it. I couldn't see any clues about the various unofficial history and miscellaneous news. There were many words on it. I didn't even recognize it. I asked Feng Junzi: "What's weird here? Have you seen anything?"
Feng Junzi: "I read it for three days and three nights, and my eyes were confused. If I hadn't known that there were practitioners from abroad who wanted to steal these books, I wouldn't have been lazy to read it. Fortunately, my skills were not in vain, and I vaguely found a little clue worthy of attention."
"What clues have you found?"
Feng Junzi: "I can't explain it now, so I can take it back and continue to study. Today I want to give you a task."
"What task?" Feng Junzi had never given me any task, and I was very curious.
Feng Junzi drew a line on the mud with his toes, and a large circle at one end of the line, and a small circle at the other end. He pointed to this strange figure and said: "The big circle is Qingyi Lake, where the Yisan Mountains are located. The small circle is the Dragon Shou Tower and the Jingwu Cave Heaven is located. The line in the middle starts from Qingyi Lake to connect the entire Jiulian Mountains, passes through Guangjiao Temple, Jiulin Zen Temple, the Zhuangyuan Bridge we are standing now, to the Dragon Shou Tower. Do you remember?"
"I remember, what do you want me to do?"
Feng Junzi: "I want you to go to Wucheng Library to check the information. I will sort out all the historical records, rumors and legends on the "Wucheng Prefecture Chronicles" and other ancient books in the collection. Including Qingyi Lake, Qi Yunguan, Jiulian Mountain, Zhaoting Mountain God, Guangjiao Temple, Jiulin Zen Temple, Mei Family Ruins, etc., even if you have a few words, try not to let go. If you are not good at doing this, you are not an expert. You can ask Teacher Liu for help. She is much better than you in this regard. With your relationship, she will do it if you ask her... There may be clues about the secrets of the Mei Family."
Feng Junzi asked me to ask Liu Fei'er to help check the information, but I went to find her. Fei'er was a little surprised, but she agreed. Not only did she agree, she also said that I didn't have to worry about it and left it to her. I just need to study hard and prepare for the college entrance examination. Fei'er is good to me, which is different from Ziying's good to me. Ziying will take the initiative to do anything, and will not let me change my plans according to her wishes. But Fei'er's identity is different. She is an ordinary person and my senior year's class teacher. She will express her requirements and ideas for me. For example, she thinks that I am a student now, so she should do a good job in the student.
