Chapter 667: The Ink Talismanship and Yin Talismanship
"...Since we are in school, we can check it carefully this time."
Professor Monteria picked up a knife and pulled out a few beautiful sword flowers between his fingers. He had a kind attitude and a kind tone: "Theoretically, intruders with their own 'behavior logic' will not easily reveal traces, so you don't expect to pull out the bean by one or two examinations... But just like the words of Alfred White that I quoted before - inferior blood will conflict with the body, excellent blood will help the body remove impurities, and great blood will ignite the fire of potential and melt all the principles in the world - I still believe that your body has great power that you don't even know, and has truly integrated that bean into your part..."
Looking at Professor Monteria who was glowing in front of him and talking endlessly, Zheng Qing finally remembered his purpose.
"Ah... Sorry, Professor, I'm not looking for you because of this!"
The young teaching assistant took a step back in horror, waved his hands repeatedly, speaking quickly, fearing that he would be disheartened if he was slower, so he even forgot to use honorifics:
"I looked for you because of that teaching plan! I am an assistant teacher at the talisman class of the Fringe College! I don't know how to write the teaching plan, and I don't have any experience in teaching! So... Professor Yao asked me to talk to you about this before class on Thursday... It's not that copper bean... It has nothing to do with copper bean!"
He tried his best to explain his purpose, tried to restrain his vision, and did not look at those shining knives.
The professor's hand, which was raised in the air, stumbled slightly.
"Ah, that's the matter."
He was obviously a little disappointed. After turning back to his desk - the experimental instruments seemed to feel the owner's mood, flew back to the cabinet weakly - and then waved his hands indifferently: "Sit down, you sit down too. Since you are here to discuss teaching plans, then we are colleagues, don't be as restricted as a student..."
Perhaps he also felt that his performance just now was a little awkward, and his usual stern expression made him squeeze out a little smile, but this did not make Zheng Qing feel at all, but instead made people feel more and more terrifying.
After realizing that he was not suitable for this expression, Professor Monteria quickly restrained his smile and speeded up his speech: "...As for teaching, no one was born to be a professor. Originally, the teaching assistant was the first-class teaching position, assisting the professors. You were asked to serve as a teaching assistant because you had a very good understanding and mastery of basic talismans and could meet the teaching tasks needs of the early stages of the marginal college.
I might as well tell you in advance that this semester, Fringe College will not recruit other real professors for the time being. I have discussed with Colma and the members of the joint meeting that during the preparatory stage, the school assistant team will be responsible for their teaching... Well, wasn’t your class’s volunteer service on Thursday also arranged to go to Fringe College to help?
In fact, I initially thought that it would be enough to get students to support them, not even teaching assistants. Whether it is the North District Wizard, Gypsy Witch, or other marginal Wizards, their foundation is very weak, and the basic knowledge that ordinary students have mastered is enough for them to learn for a long time. But Colma thinks that if an academy feels ‘informal’ when it was initially established, it will become very difficult to reverse everyone’s cognition in the future. I think her idea makes sense…”
Professor Monteria introduced some of the details before and after the preparations for the Fringe Academy in a few words. Zheng Qing nodded as if a chicken pecked at rice and tried hard to analyze.
Although these details cannot be directly told how to teach, they can be broad-minded and give him a clear understanding of the educational planning of the entire marginal college.
"...So, in principle, I suggest you start with the most basic talisman format. For example, what is the talisman head, what is the talisman gall, what is the talisman foot; for example, the cutting of talisman paper, the cinnabar preparation; for example, the most basic spirit sealing skills, etc."
Speaking of this, Monteria stopped teaching and changed the subject: "By the way, have you talked about this with Ms. Colma? What do she think?"
"I just flew over the paper crane in the afternoon and made an appointment for a meeting." Zheng Qing was quite embarrassed when he answered because he remembered this incident again in the afternoon: "Vice Dean Colma asked me to go to the North District to find her after the evening class..."
It's nine o'clock to finish evening class.
When Zheng Qing felt tired from the bottom of his heart when he had a day of class, he couldn't help but sigh heavily.
Professor Monteria behind the desk touched her chin and thoughtfully: "After evening class? Well... Here are a few standard lesson plans for the teaching assistant team, you can refer to them... I still say the same thing, it is your freedom to teach whatever you want. Given the uneven level of students, the college does not have a clear syllabus at present. Don't feel too much psychological pressure."
The last few sentences are probably the most comforting content in this conversation.
Evening class is a lesson in ink talismans.
The ink talisman is a talisman that uses black ink calligraphy and painting, which is in contrast to another type of alchemy. The ancients said that the alchemy color is red, and the bright fire is the yang; the ink talisman is black, and the bright water is the yin.
The general idea is to use red as yang and black as yin.
When writing ordinary talismans, according to day and night, cold and heat, morning and evening, life and death, as well as the difference between the identity of the writer, the difference in position when drawing talismans, etc., there will be two variations of "yin and yang", which will divide into three formats: positive runes, negative runes, and ordinary runes. Among them, the effect of ordinary runes is normal, and using runes of appropriate yin and yang properties according to environmental conditions will have twice the result with half the effort.
The runes learned in this lesson of Moluo are almost no different from ordinary runes. It is probably because of one or two more twists and turns in the talisman gallbladder, the ink talisman is shorter at the talisman feet, the longer the elixir script, etc. The only difference is in the subtleties.
But in addition to this, this lesson has more content, which teaches what is the best situation to use ink talismans, what conditions can be used, and how many ways to make ink talismans for calligraphy and painting ink talismans, which will also be mixed with some changes in yin and yang and harmony.
And the Yin Jizhi on Monday night is another concept.
It should be emphasized here that Yin talisman and negative runes are two completely different concepts.
If the runes of the Molu Danshu and calligraphy on yellow paper belong to the "Yang Talisman", which have the runes with the structure of the talisman head, the talisman gall, and the talisman feet; then the "Yin Talisman" is a talisman that is used through certain rituals such as Gang Steps, Handprints, Spells, Secret Texts.
Just like the Dharma book replaces the pinching techniques and magic wands.
With the development of modern magic theory, few people have used the tale technique, which is rooted in master-apprentice and mystic theory. Perhaps only the first university can fully preserve and inherit the skills of these predecessors in the pile of old papers.
