When Zhou Baopu woke up, it was midnight again, but perhaps because the moon had exhausted its light last night, today's moon was obscured by layers of dark clouds, and not even a trace could be seen. Black clouds are overwhelming the city to the point of destroying it, but on a winter night without moonlight, it is so dark that one cannot see even one's fingers.
When Zhou Baopu opened his eyes and saw darkness, he struggled with his limbs, but he could no longer feel any pain.
The pain he suffered before falling asleep seemed to be far away from Zhou Baopu's body like fallen trees swept away by the autumn wind. Now Zhou Baopu actually felt a little lighter when moving his limbs. He could feel that his limbs were filled with explosive power.
This force was so powerful that with almost no effort, Zhou Baopu sat up, came to the table, and lit the oil lamp.
Looking at the dark night, Zhou Baopu's thoughts were spinning.
Zhou Baopu recalled the thrilling moment before he fell asleep. Even though he had escaped the disaster, Zhou Baopu was still a little frightened. After all, the situation at that time was a huge blow to him, because he knew that if he was not careful, he might fall.
Seeing the lights in front of him beating constantly, Zhou Baopu walked gently to the table and breathed out slowly. Pushed by the airflow, the dancing flame started to tremble randomly as if it was frightened, as if it might go out again at any time.
After observing these, Zhou Baopu's thoughts suddenly seemed to be in a trance.
"People seem to be strong, but they are really weak. What is the difference between this lamp that trembles in the wind? If you want to become strong, you should not become a lamp of fireworks. Even a weak body must become one of the stars that can start a prairie fire. Fire. Only in that way can one's life not be wasted. Only in that way can one strengthen one's own strength, not be annihilated by the wind, and not die easily!" After experiencing
this great disaster, Zhou Baopu sincerely felt the fragility of life. In this realization, Zhou Baopu cherished his existing life even more.
Under the slightly dim oil lamp, Zhou Baopu picked up the scroll that the old man had placed on the table, and opened the scroll with a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Zhou Baopu knew very well that this time he survived the disaster and could feel the gratifying changes in his body and mind. This means that, as the rumors say, those who survive a catastrophe will have good fortune in the future. Zhou Baopu knew that he was still not sure about his future blessings, but he could really feel his current blessings.
This is because Zhou Baopu can clearly detect that both the blood energy in the meridians and the thought power in the brain have made considerable progress.
Although there are many questions in my mind, such as why the old man left in a hurry without saying a word, whether his catastrophe was passed peacefully, and will there be any sequelae in the future?
If the old man were here, Zhou Baopu believed that he might be able to ask why.
However, for some reason, the old man left without saying goodbye.
He originally came without saying goodbye, but now he leaves without saying goodbye. Thinking about it, there is nothing abnormal at all. After thinking about this, Zhou Baopu couldn't help but feel that his mind had broadened a lot, and he no longer felt entangled and confused about the old man leaving without saying goodbye.
The light of the oil lamp was limited, but if it shone on the scroll, it would not affect Zhou Baopu's reading.
Although there was no bright sunshine, just a little light of fireflies made Zhou Baopu crazy with excitement. Because in the dim light, while concentrating and thinking carefully, Zhou Baopu clearly saw that those winding ink marks began to condense.
The irregular ink marks began to condense into regular words under the influence of some mysterious force. Seeing this situation, how could Zhou Baopu not know what happened?
After all, Zhou Baopu had already had such experience before. Zhou Baopu still clearly remembers that when he first saw the text, the excitement in his heart was simply indescribable. What he has not forgotten is how much effort he put in to be able to see those words.
But now he can already see the words by just focusing a little harder. Seeing this situation, how could Zhou Baopu be unhappy in his heart?
This means that in future readings, Zhou Baopu no longer has to exhaust his mind without reading a paragraph of text.
If all the time spent to recuperate was used to look at the scrolls and recite the talismans, wouldn't it be a thrilling thing for Zhou Baopu?
In fact, Zhou Baopu did exactly that.
Zhou Baopu could read the subsequent content smoothly. Although some of the text arrangement was still unclear to him. Even so, Zhou Baopu was already satisfied. Although he knew every word, Zhou Baopu was still confused as to what it meant when the words were connected into words, the words were connected into sentences, and the clauses were connected into sentences. In any case, it is much better than not being able to see even the words.
Read it a hundred times and its meaning will appear by itself.
At first glance, Zhou Baopu found that it was too difficult and almost impossible to understand the true meaning of it.
After realizing this, Zhou Baopu finally changed his strategy.
That is to keep reading and watching. You may not understand it, but you cannot stop looking and thinking. Zhou Baopu understood that if he didn't look and think, he would definitely not understand the words on the scroll. But based on seeing and thinking, Zhou Baopu believed that one day, he would suddenly realize it.
Zhou Baopu has always believed in a can-do spirit. That is, no matter whether it is difficult or not, as long as you start trying and persevere, you will definitely succeed. On the contrary, always thinking about his difficulties or simplicity will definitely miss his chance of success.
Opening another page of the scroll, Zhou Baopu almost cried out in excitement. Because he discovered that the top line, located in the middle, when the handwriting appeared, was the talisman he had been waiting for. While he was concentrating and thinking deeply, more and more talisman roots were slowly taking shape on the page.
Talisman roots, just like the root characters that make up Hanzi in Wubi, form various talismans.
As long as you follow certain rules, master the runes, and then arrange them according to their rules, you can not only arrange the existing runes, but also arrange the runes that have not appeared before based on your own research. It can be said that Fu Dao, compared with other blood refining methods, has more opportunities for practice and more innovative spirit.
However, it is not easy to memorize these talisman roots. Zhou Baopu soon discovered this problem.
Because he found that the ink marks that constructed these talisman roots seemed to be a little naughty. His concentration and deep thinking can certainly condense the ink into words, but the talisman roots are not immutable. Zhou Baopu was shocked to discover that rather than saying that the talisman roots were fixed strokes, it would be better to say that the talisman roots were small lives.
