Chapter 157 New Year's Eve Nuo
Fang Jue has received modern science education, and his problem-seeking is sometimes different from the current masters.
In his opinion, the water control technique left by the little otaku man was not simply a simple chanting of tricks and chanting mantras, but a discussion on the essence of an energy and how to use this energy.
Energy conservation will not appear out of thin air, nor will it disappear without reason.
As he continued to deepen his understanding of Tao after entering the Tao, he gradually realized that whether it was swordsmanship, water control, or anything else, understanding was one aspect, and in use, he was building a grasp of the essential laws of this energy and then applying it.
Just like the original time and space, people initially discovered oil but did not know how to use it, it was just the simplest ignition; next, in the continuous development practice, it may be used in war. In modern times, with the development of science, their understanding of the essence of oil has become deeper, and through manufacturing tools, oil has been turned into power, and even various processing products.
When ordinary people treat water, they only know that it can quench thirst and irrigate; when they treat swords, they only know that they hold them in their hands to kill people; when the master of Taoism, the master of Taoism has a deeper understanding of the essence and movement rules of these things, so water is still water, and the sword is still a sword. In the hands of master of Taoism, they can exert the effect that ordinary people seem to be "magical".
Of course, this process of understanding and utilization is not like the original time and space traveling through "physics and chemistry" but another way based on understanding the essence. This unique way cannot have practical effects even if you understand the original time and space. Perhaps this is the difference between the world without demons and the world with demons.
"Oh, I remember it. The record of Zhenxin Zhengxing said that there was a scholar in the previous dynasty who was dazed at all kinds of things all day long and became obsessed with things. Everyone laughed at him. But one day, in the middle of the night, Langxi suddenly laughed, and his laughter shook for a hundred miles. He became a god overnight because he understood the laws of everything?" Li Xian said.
"It's not easy to become a god? To understand the laws of everything, how can a person's power be able to do it? There must be exaggeration in the book, but the meaning to be expressed is correct." Fang Jue nodded and said, "You must also pay attention to your study in the future. You must investigate the true meaning, and do not stick to the text story itself."
"I understand." Li Xian nodded.
...
...
In the next few days, Fang Jue took Li Xian to various dams and water network nodes to feel the true meaning of the water flow up close. Sometimes he also drank tea and chatted with Sang Yuancheng and talked about some customs and customs. If Sang Yuancheng had official duties, the county magistrate Wang Chengding would be very flattering. He accompanied him all day long, and his words were filled with a sense of "abandoning his official position and not doing anything, and he wanted to learn the Tao."
Wang Chengding is a bit philosophical, but it is not annoying. In fact, if the quality of philosophical is properly grasped, it will be pleasing. He serves him wholeheartedly. Fang Jue didn't want to directly refuse to refute his face, so he asked with a smile: "Mr. Wang, it's not impossible for you to join me, but do you know why I only have Li Xian, a disciple?"
Wang Chengding was immediately overjoyed and asked, "Why is this?" He looked at Li Xian and smiled and said, "Of course my qualifications are not as good as the young man, but I just want to follow the teacher and serve him. If you have some fairy spirit, it will be a great blessing."
"The reason is simple, it's not a question of qualifications." Fang Jue smiled: "Li Xian, this child, this year, has always been the one I have grown up, and has not yet gotten married, and is still a boy. My Taoism is the most important thing. It takes a pure boy to practice it to be effective."
"Ah?" Wang Chengding was stunned. He was in his thirties this year, and he had been married for fifteen or sixteen years. He still had a woman outside. What a boy, he had nothing to do with him.
Fang Jue smiled and said, "But if you just think I am a good person, want to follow me, get some fairy spirit, or something, and don't study Taoism, that's okay. Li Xian is young and has weak strength. I travel around the world, and I'm missing a strong porter around me."
Wang Chengding hesitated for a few times. Anyway, since then, he still served with since then, but he never mentioned anything about "Going in, being in front of the door, and being in the back of the horse, and being intoxicated with the immortal spirit."
It was New Year's Eve on New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.
In ancient times, the New Year atmosphere was naturally very rich. From the afternoon, there were firecrackers everywhere. Yueshui County was indeed richer. Fang Jue and Li Xian were wandering around. Almost every household in the county town slaughtered pigs and sheep, prepared wine, meat and rice, and the most cowardly one had to kill a chicken. Most of the children also played with candy, and every household was happy.
Seeing Fang Jue coming, the people were very enthusiastic. After wandering around for the afternoon, Li Xian had a round belly, such as meatballs, rice cakes, fruits, fried meat, and a lot of messes, and two pockets filled with a lot of stuff.
Fang Jue took him to the county tailor shop, and each of them changed a ready-made new clothes from the inside to the outside, and went to the blacksmith shop, spending ten taels of silver to buy him a sword for adults.
"After this year, you will be fifteen years old. If you put it in an ordinary family, you will be able to get married and have children. Tonight, you will take you to burn some paper for your mother and kowtow to your father." Fang Jue said.
"Yes." Li Xian nodded, thought for a while, and asked if he would go to see Danuo tonight.
In the past life, there was also a great Nuo on Earth in ancient times, but it was usually the winter solstice, a ceremony to expel evil spirits and ghosts, which was very lively. However, the great Nuo in this world overlapped with the beasts sent to the New Year in the original time and space, and also expelled evil spirits and ghosts, drove away beasts, and prayed for God to bless the peace in the coming year.
The county’s main board was on the square at the front of the county government. It started to be arranged a few days ago. It was probably very lively. In addition, the flood control fortifications were built this year, which was a festive event. Sang Yuancheng invited Fang Jue and him to preside over the meeting.
In fact, I originally thought that it was the host of the little orphan, and his identity was the most suitable one. However, I didn't expect that this guy turned into a big fish and wandered around. Sang Yuancheng asked Fang Jue to host the host. Fang Jue had always been not very interested in such a thing as pretending to be a ghost, but just wanted to see the fun, so he refused and asked the famous "wizard" in the county to do it.
The outside of the county government has been fully arranged, with a large pile of firewood poured with butter in the middle. Under the wall is a row of monsters and ghosts of the same size as a living person, and a group of actors who have "made it" have begun to put on makeup. They just wait for the ceremony to start, ignite the fire, sing and dance, and throw the paper into the fire and burn it.
"I don't know that there are Da Nuo everywhere to drive away ghosts every year, but there are really monsters and ghosts in this world. Don't be fine, but instead attract monsters."
