Shi Xiaohan's sudden appearance caused Gu Xu's lecture to pause for a moment, and almost all the students present turned their attention to her.
Shi Xiaohan felt that this must be the most embarrassing moment in his life.
She lowered her head and looked at her toes. Her earlobes were slightly red, and she wished she could dig a hole and get in there.
At the same time, Gu Xu saw her standing there blankly, so he said to her with a smile: "Miss, why are you still outside?"
< p>His tone was gentle.But it didn’t sound like a communication between peers, but more like a teacher’s comfort to the students.
Shi Xiaohan thought angrily: This bastard actually pretends not to know me! And he even put on a show of teaching in front of me!
However, in full view of the public, she did not dare to argue with Gu Xu. She could only blush and explain hesitantly: "I'm sorry, I... I overslept today, Gu... first ...First, first, sir, I will come in right now..."
Saying the word "sir" almost exhausted all the strength in Shi Xiaohan's body.
Her voice became quieter and quieter, becoming like a mosquito's chirping, and the last few words were so vague that they could not be heard clearly.
Tao Xi, who was sitting in the front row of the lecture hall, was quite surprised to see Shi Xiaohan's expression.
She did not expect that Shi Xiaohan, who was always lively, cheerful and carefree, would actually show such a shy side in public.
"Then move quickly and don't dawdle."
Gu Xu was also amused by Shi Xiaohan's performance. However, he deliberately restrained his smile and urged with a straight face.
Shi Xiaohan suddenly acted like a little rabbit, using his body skills to sneak to the back of the lecture hall - without using his mental perception, it was almost impossible to be in a crowd of people. Find her.
She secretly made up her mind: Gu Xu bullied me like this today, I will definitely deal with him severely in the future...I will find an excuse to fight with him, and then beat him into a pig head, He was left paralyzed in bed for three days without being able to get up.
…………
In this eye-catching Talisman lesson, Shi Xiaohan’s sudden appearance was just an insignificant episode.
Gu Xu quickly continued to teach the class in the expectant eyes of the students:
"As a talisman master, I believe you all should be well aware of the history of the birth of the art of talisman and seal script. .
“According to the book, Fu Zhuan is the language of gods and the medium that communicates the great ways of heaven and earth. It is the same as the method of spiritual practice, which is taught to us by the gods above the nine heavens.
“But in fact, the earliest talisman seals in Dahuang were extremely crude and had a very single function. Apart from setting fire to kill ghosts, they had no more uses...
“It was random. With the passage of time and the continuous improvement and expansion of Talisman Masters of the past generations, it now has a variety of functions and a fairly complete theoretical system.
"The books written by the predecessors have greatly reduced the difficulty of drawing talismans - beginners do not need to understand the 'Tao' in the talisman seals. They only need to strictly copy the patterns and strictly follow the process to draw talisman with special functions. Fu Zhuan.
“However, sometimes, it is this kind of ‘convenience’ that does not require thinking or studying, which to some extent restricts our thinking and suppresses us. The desire to think deeper.
"...
"I will give you a simple example now.
"Suppose you are a literati who makes a living by creating stories.
"One day, a scene suddenly pops up in your mind - a poor scholar and an official family. The daughter fell in love at first sight in the temple.
“This picture gave you a strong creative passion. You began to use it as the core to enrich the identity and background of the couple, to improve their encounter, and to try to construct the entire world in the story. .
"When you are conceiving a story, what comes to your mind is probably not words, but some video clips, some pictures, some dialogues, and even some things that make your heart surge but are difficult to understand. Mood swings described in words.
“They are fragmented, networked, chaotic, and things that only you can understand.
“However, the way readers receive information is always Linear and sequential. You can't give them all the ideas in your head.
“You have to sort out the chaotic information in your mind and arrange it in an orderly manner.
“For example, first introduce the background of the world, the identity of the male protagonist, The identity of the heroine, and then introduce why the two went to that temple...
"Even in the same scene, all kinds of information need to be arranged effectively-for example, describe the weather first, and then Describe the temple environment, and then describe the appearance, clothing, and demeanor of the two people...
"But words are not the jade pendant used by the exorcist department to record images after all. It is impossible for it to completely record all the details conceived in the creator's mind.
“After readers see the text, they will spontaneously restore the pictures, scenes and even emotional fluctuations in their minds.
“But due to the inevitable process of text transmission, There will be a loss of information, so what the readers finally imagine will be very different from the original inspiration in the creator's mind.
"For example, a thousand readers can imagine a thousand different appearances of the heroine.
"...
"Since it is written in the book The definition of 'talisman' is 'text', so there must be a problem of information loss.
"Take the 'Fire Flame True Talisman' as an example.
“The monk who first created the ‘Fire Flame Talisman’ was like the creator of the story. One day, he felt the existence of the ‘Way of Fire’.Entered into a state of enlightenment.
“There was a strong impulse in his mind to record the Tao.
“But as we all know, the Tao is very abstract and difficult to use completely. described in language.
"It's like the creator's 'inspiration'.
"So, the talisman he finally drew will be the same as the inspiration given to him by the original 'Way of Fire'. There are many differences and a lot of information is missed.
"This also means that the talismans and seals drawn on our books are inherently flawed. There is still a lot of distance between them and the real avenue of heaven and earth.
"The process of us improving the seal scripts is to continuously improve them to make them closer to the 'Tao' and miss less information. "
Speaking of this, Gu Xu temporarily stopped teaching, took out a kettle from "Xianyunju", and moistened his dry throat with water.
There was silence in the lecture hall. .
Some students stared at him intently, trying to digest the content.
Some students lowered their heads and quickly took notes with charcoal, trying to explain his words. Write it down word for word, then take it back and think about it again.
Jia Xiuguang, who was sitting in the first row, frowned more and more.
Tao Xi, who was not far away, blinked. Blinking, thoughtfully.
Only Shi Xiaohan, who was hiding in the corner of the lecture hall, was thinking about something completely different from everyone else's
She thought silently. : "A poor scholar and a wealthy official... Did Gu Xu give this example because he thought of my experience with him? "
"But the problem is that we didn't meet in the temple..."
PS: I was not very satisfied with the first draft of today's chapter, so I deleted it and rewritten it. Sorry, the word count is a little short. I will write more tomorrow.
