Holding "Old Past" in her arms, Chen Yi sat in front of the bookstall again.
The day after tomorrow will be a busy day, because the leather has to be sent to the dyeing shop, and watching the weaving and dyeing peasant women start work is a hard job. These two days can be regarded as half a day of leisure.
The effective distance of Hedwig's magic circle is only to the door of the house, and it cannot work as an overseer at the bookstall.
Chen Yi sat on the wooden bench and flipped through the pages of "Old Past", partly out of interest in Serena, but also because this book was more interesting than dry magic knowledge.
She said that all powers come from ancient words...Chen Yi also remembered the mixed language of Yawen and Platinum that the priest Isha had turned the chanting beads last night.
"Luo...men...a." Chen Yi tried to pronounce it according to the tone in his memory, but he stumbled.
I tried to read it a few more times, but the more I read it, the more difficult it became to pronounce and pronounce it, and it was impossible to connect it into a smooth sound.
And there is no power manifested.
"It's weird, why can't I read it out?"
While thinking, he glanced down the quiet alley and saw a familiar figure walking quickly.
"Xiao Chenyi, something big happened." Grandma Amy said loudly.
"What's the matter, Grandma Amy?" Chen Yi pricked up her ears, put down her book, and Grandma Amy walked over in a hurry with her back bent.
His blessing really took effect.
Grandma Amy didn't even stop to take a breath. She said in disbelief: "I tell you... the wizard, that wizard, your college teacher, he is missing."
Chen Yi raised the corners of her mouth imperceptibly, so it turned out that she was talking about this.
The disappearance of the only wizard in the town is indeed a rare event for the entire Resurrection Town.
He pretended to be surprised and said: "I...I never thought...what happened, Grandma Amy."
Grandma Amy shook her head and said gently: "I just heard from my neighbor that you are his apprentice, so I will tell you first... If you ask me, this is really praise from my Lord... He sent angels to punish this sorcerer. That church that had been remodeled and desecrated... was the place where my son was baptized."
She smiled happily and kindly.
Well, actually God Himself did it. Chen Yi said in his heart, and he immediately showed a little panic: "Yes, yes, then...my magic..."
Grandma Amy sighed after hearing this and advised: "Xiao Chenyi, to be honest, I have never wanted you to study alchemy. Alchemy is just an obedient thing for young people nowadays. People of our generation are all Those who call witchcraft are not a good thing. You don’t know how surprised I was when I heard that Raymond’s nephew wanted to learn witchcraft. Your uncle is the most devout true believer I have ever met - may he Rest in heaven.”
Chen Yi nodded blankly.
Old people often make the habit of preaching, and she continued to teach: "Xiao Chenyi, I have been a stable mother for many years. Most of the children in the town have touched my hands, and so has Hedwig. I cut the umbilical cord - may she rest in peace. As for witchcraft, Wen Po is actually the one who has the best chance to come into contact with it. You know, if other people have minor ailments, especially women, Wen Po will often get some herbs to make soup. But I have always abided by the Lord’s teachings and stayed away from it. I have seen the menstrual blood of countless women, but even the most ugly pagans are not more filthy than witchcraft.”
Chen Yi couldn't argue with anything, so she could only nod her head vigorously pretending to agree sincerely, and finally showed an expression of enlightenment.
After Grandma Amy said this in one breath, she breathed a sigh of relief. Afterwards, she realized that she had no signs of fatigue, and she clasped her hands together to praise God.
"Xiao Chenyi, you are smart. I know you understand this." She paused and smiled happily: "That girl, Miss Pepper, I hope she is a good girl. I heard those pagans say she is a kind-hearted girl. Gentle, but she is not a true believer. You have to be firm in your heart and don't be deceived by her. Paganism is different from true religion in that it respects some scholars."
Chen Yi nodded helplessly.
When Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, the two people with sharp ears heard the sound of song beads clashing in the distance. Grandma Amy was silent. She felt guilty for a moment and couldn't stay for long. She casually gave Chen Yi a few words and left the bookstall.
Turning around, Chen Yi saw her from a distance and couldn't help but smile.
Lomea met his eyes, looked away slightly, and walked to his bookshelf with his head lowered.
"Are you here to buy books again?" Chen Yi asked first.
"Well," she bent down, rolled up the sleeves of her arms, and browsed aimlessly through the books on the bookstall.
"Sir, are you reading the scriptures of Zhenjiao?" After flipping through the pages for a long time, Luo Mei'a pretended to suddenly find out.
"No, it's a book about occult science." Chen Yi spread the book in front of her and said in surprise: "Do you recognize the real Awen?"
He represents the body of a woman, the knight captain of the Saint Sword-bearing Order in the True Religion, who has vowed lifelong vows. Why can't Romea recognize the True Awen?
"I have learned it." To be reasonable, she explained: "In order to debate the scriptures with the true believers."
Chen Yi nodded. In the past, there were rumors of true priests studying the Yavin language in order to debate scriptures with pagans.
Since she is the granddaughter of Priest Isa, will she know something about ancient words?
Although he has the so-called supreme authority in Resurrection Town, he actually knows very little about this world.
"Have you heard, Lomea, that the wizard has disappeared?" Chen Yi said worriedly: "I can only study mysticism by myself."
Luomea was startled when he heard this, and stammered: "Ah, really? I only know now."
Glancing at her, after all, Isa's officiant was her grandmother, and she knew more or less what was going on, so Chen Yi had no doubts.
She raised her face and asked him softly: "In this case, sir, do you still want to study the occult?"
"Well, I want...to have more knowledge and...how should I say, power." After saying this, Chen Yi paused and asked smoothly: "I once asked the wizard where magic comes from. ? I forgot his specific answer, but it seems to say...it comes from the Baijinwen, especially the ancient Baijinwen...You are the granddaughter of the chief priest, do you know anything?"
"I...I'm not sure. Do you want to know something? If I knew, I would answer it." Lomea hesitated.
She did not want Chen Yi to continue studying magic.
If Chen Yi continues to study the mysteries, his spirituality will be far greater than before. This... may attract the attention of that dirty existence.
In this way...it's hard to say whether I can hide the truth from others.
And Chen Yi... was not immune to disaster.
She rolled her brown eyes and scanned the boy in front of her up and down.
"How can I say...you know why...sometimes I try to recite Bai Jinwen, but it has no corresponding effect, and even the recitation is not smooth..." Chen Yi almost said "Luo Men'a" he heard last night Leak.
"...Maybe it's because she is ungrateful. I have seen my grandma asking angels for a miracle, and she would also murmur something. Because she chanted sutras day and night, and was pious and humble, the angels came to help her." Lomea He said vaguely.
She rolled up the hem of her robe and slowly squatted down.
Impious?
A strange expression appeared on Chen Yi's face.
If pious words can conjure miracles, then why bother using any words? Besides...it's different from what I saw and heard last night.
"Piety..." Chen Yi chewed the word, "Is it really piety?"
Lomea bit her lip.
Before yesterday, I had never thought that he was so disbelieving. She had thought he was a true believer.
Man is the measure of all things.
God is so omniscient and omnipotent, possessing supreme authority. According to this, doesn’t it mean that humans can be used to measure God?
Lomea couldn't believe he could say such a thing.
Recalling this, her hands picked at the books idlely and impatiently, and her long thick eyelashes trembled.
"If you are pious... you will be heard by angels, and everything in the world will communicate with you because of your piety. Reciting the Platinum Inscription is just easier for the gods to hear." Lomea couldn't help but said, it was right. Yesterday's rebuttal.
As soon as she finished speaking, she carefully glanced at Chen Yi's face to catch his expression, raising and lowering her eyes, constantly sliding up and down.
Communicate because of devotion...Is it easier to hear when reciting the Platinum Mantra? In an instant, Chen Yi seemed to have caught something.
Could it be that...language is just a medium? Thinking of this, Chen Yi couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
Reminiscent of the fact that I can't recite "Luo Men'a" smoothly.
What kind of piety...that means spirituality is not high enough!
Chen Yi showed an expression of sudden realization.
No matter how many languages he masters, he can even approach the ancient sayings spoken by Serena.
But if your spirituality is not high enough, you will not be able to recite it smoothly, or even...it will be in your mind but you will not be able to speak it out at all.
"So that's it..." Chen Yi said to himself.
Just as he was about to say something to persuade him to wake up, Lomea's eyes fell on his face again, and there was no sign of remorse on his expression.
She was a little nervous and wanted to interrupt his train of thought and said quickly: "...Sir, the mysterious world is far more dangerous than you think."
