Chapter 13: On the Dao Symbol
With modern technical means, it is possible to perfectly copy the texture of a charm, but it is useless and cannot achieve the effect of a charm at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The reason is that when drawing a talisman, it is necessary to use the true qi as an introduction, and the drawn talisman will have an effect.
Runes with wind and rain, runes with talismans, runes with talismans, runes of various genres are not the same, and the distribution of true qi in the runes is also different, these are all secret methods, and they are easy not to spread.
Cinnabar and yellow paper can be favored by monks, and there is a reason for this. After cinnabar modulates the rune ink, the true qi can last for a long time, and the vitality of heaven and earth can also circulate in it; The yellow paper has a strong adsorption capacity, and the cinnabar will not fall off easily after it is engraved.
The method of modulating Fu Mo will be founded; How to draw runes, Fang Zheng will also; How to adjust the amount of true qi in the process of drawing runes, Fang Zheng will also ...... However, Founder's no runes.
If the true qi is compared to an electric current, the charm is compared to a mobile phone, and the process of drawing a talisman is equivalent to charging a mobile phone. The more resistive the charging cable, the greater the current loss during charging. And the better the rune pen, the smaller the resistance, and the same way to make the same rune, the less true qi a good rune will consume.
Put it on the qi cultivation master who has passed through the acupoints of the whole body, and with an ordinary brush, they can draw the charm, because they are full of true qi, and the extra bit of true qi consumed is nothing to them. But for Fang Zheng, who has just entered the Qi training, the amount of true qi is not much, and it can save a little is a little.
Carrying a large bag of things, Fang Zheng walked towards the shop in the town that specialized in selling the four treasures of the study, but fortunately, when Fang Zheng arrived at the store, the store had not yet closed.
"Boss, do you have any better brushes?" Glancing at the brush placed outside the store, Fang Zheng became interested and went directly to the boss.
These brushes placed outside are basically products from the factory assembly line, and in one word, it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance. It's okay to practice calligraphy, but it's not enough to write calligraphy works, not to mention that Fang is going to use it to draw symbols.
The boss was a little old, a fifty or sixty-year-old look, and when he heard this, he sat up from the chair and yawned: "Hou Shengzi, what kind of good brush do you want?" ”
Ordinary customers come to the store to buy pens, they all ask the price directly, and feel that the price meets their expectations, so they carefully choose; Like Fang Zheng, who wants a good pen as soon as he opens his mouth, except for acquaintances, the boss has never seen it.
"Little pen, wolf." Fang Zheng thought for a moment and said his request: "Handmade ones are better." ”
The process of making a pen by hand is still very cumbersome, and now it is all industrial production, so if there is really no manual pen, then forget it.
As for the selection of brush materials, there are mainly wool, rabbit hair, chicken hair and wolf hair, which is not the hair on the wolf's body, but the hair on the weasel's tail.
"Handmade pens?" The old man scratched his head, no one wanted any handmade pens for a long time, and as for the pens that met the two conditions of wolf hair and small pen, there were still a lot of pens in the store.
"Wait a minute, lad." The old man beckoned his wife to look at the door, and then went to the back of the store to look for it, and it was a full ten minutes before the old man came out with a box in his hand.
The box is a bit old, and the surface is dull, which is obviously the reason why it has not seen the light of day for a long time.
"It's been a long time since I've sold handmade pens." The old man took out a cloth and wiped the dust off the box, then opened the box and placed it in front of Fang Zheng.
There are four pens inside, one is a small pen, the only difference is the barrel of the pen, the only difference is that the material is different. A white jade pen tube, an enamel pen tube, a blue and white porcelain pen tube, and finally an ordinary white bamboo pen tube, which are red as a whole after treatment and placement.
Fang Zheng first ruled out the enamel and blue and white porcelain pen barrels, because he tried it, and the materials of enamel and blue and white porcelain were not compatible with the true qi at all, just like an insulator, and the true qi could not circulate at all.
The rest of the options are small, nothing more than white jade and white bamboo pen tubes. In fact, there are special materials to make talisman pens, such as jade, and then the bones of spirit beasts, after these materials are made into talisman pens, the loss of true qi is relatively small.
In fact, Fang Zheng likes the white jade pen a lot, but if he likes it, he likes it, and Fang Zheng doesn't have the confidence to buy it. He now has a bank card and cash on him, which is only about 4,000 yuan, and the money he can take out to buy things is only about 2,000, and the rest can be used in case of emergency.
Obviously, this white jade pen tube, which can be called a work of art, will not be cheap.
With some pity, he put down the white jade pen barrel and took the white bamboo pen barrel in his hand. The white bamboo is actually the green bamboo, and now it has become a little vermilion, which looks quite atmospheric.
Lost a wisp of true qi as thin as a cow's hair, dredged along the barrel of the pen, and when it reached the wolf at the tip of the pen, almost half of the true qi was consumed.
In other words, the utilization rate of this pen barrel for true qi has reached fifty percent, barely meeting the requirements of Founder.
"How much does this pen cost?" Fang Zheng turned the pen for a moment, and then asked.
Seeing that Fang Zheng did not choose the other three pens in better condition, but chose such a featureless bamboo pen, the old man was a little disappointed.
"I forgot the purchase price, and after so many years, it is not suitable to talk about the purchase price." The old man knocked on the barrel of the pen and said to Fang Zheng: "Look at this rod, it has been one or two decades, and it is the same as new, which means that this material and work are good." Young man, you give a hundred, make up a whole number. ”
"Give me an inkstone." Fang Zheng directly picked a stone inkstone at the door, and at first glance it was an assembly line product produced by the factory.
"Okay." The old man readily agreed, and the purchase price of that inkstone was only three or five yuan.
If it is usual, Fangzheng may have to cut the price, no matter how thin the mosquito legs are, it is meat. But now Fang Zheng didn't have that mind, he was still in a hurry to go back to draw talismans, so after hearing the old man say this, he directly took out a hundred yuan, picked up the pen and inkstone and left.
That cool look, even the old man was a little surprised, could it be that he was out of the eye, selling antique pens? After taking a closer look at the box, the production date was more than ten years ago, and the old man breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the remaining three pens clean, marked the price, and hung them on the wall.
returned to the hotel in a hurry, and Fang Zheng closed the door directly.
After taking out all the things he bought and putting them on the bed, Fang Zheng began to prepare first.
After repairing the tip of the brush and cutting the yellow paper into a size of six inches long and two inches wide, Founder began the first step of drawing talismans---- making talisman ink.
If the rune is the meridian that absorbs the vitality of heaven and earth, then the rune ink is naturally the basic material of the meridians, and a good rune ink can contain more heaven and earth vitality, so that the heaven and earth vitality circulate faster, and the effect of casting the rune is better.
In ancient times, there were no modern detection methods, so the method of making rune ink can be regarded as a secret method. Fang Zheng estimated that with the current detection method, a little powder could be deducted, and the formula of Fu Mo could be detected in minutes.
Coupled with scanning technology or something, the structure of the runes is also easy to crack. Fortunately, the talisman must be made with true qi as an introduction, so that the runes drawn have the effect of absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth.
In today's terms, this is called confidential technology, and this is the core competitiveness.
Carefully clean the cinnabar with a knife, this process took more than ten minutes, and when the impurities on the surface of the cinnabar were removed, the cinnabar ore that was originally not good-looking also became dazzling, red and shiny.
After a gesture, Fang Zheng cut off one-fifth of the cinnabar, and wrapped the rest of the cinnabar again.
Cut the cinnabar and baiji into small pieces as much as possible, they were almost powdered, Fang Zheng put them into the inkstone, and then poured half of the liquor into the inkstone, began to grind it, and from time to time added powders such as realgar powder to it, which he bought with Fu Mo.
The process of making rune ink is relatively boring, but fortunately, Lu Zu himself has made a lot of rune ink in the inheritance, so after grinding for a while, Fang Zheng found the feeling. Otherwise, the process of making rune ink alone will take several days to learn to evenly grind the various raw materials inside.
After about twenty minutes, Fu Mo was as red as blood and had a somewhat sticky feeling, and Fang Zheng stopped.
One piece of yellow paper was selected from the cut yellow paper, and Fang Zheng placed it on the table, pressing it with a heavy object around it, so that the paper would not wrinkle in the process of drawing the symbols, and then all the work was wasted.
Placing the rune ink in front of the rune paper, Fang Zheng put the brush into the rune ink, and the brush sucked the rune ink in the inkstone, while Fang Zheng held the table with both hands, trying to enter a state of peace.
For the first time to make a talisman, Fang Zheng was still a little excited, but under the agitation of his mind, it was not suitable to make talismans. Because in the process of making talismans, the emphasis is on one go, and this gas refers to the true qi.
After lifting the pen in one go, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi will run more smoothly on the spell. If the rune is intermittent, stop drawing for a while, and if it is intermittent, even if you draw all the charms in the end, it will have an impact on the effect of the charm.
When the vitality circulates at those intermittent points, it will be blocked, and the effect of the charm will be reduced. If the whole spell is pieced together bit by bit, and it can have some effect, then it is difficult to say.
Therefore, when making talismans, you need to be calm, which will help the true qi to flow smoothly.
Taking a few deep breaths and suppressing the waves in his heart, Fang Zheng felt that his state was almost adjusted, so he reached out and held the brush.
Stirred a few more times in the inkstone, feeling that the nib of the rune ink was almost enough, Fang Zheng lifted the pen, the tip of the rune ink just fell on the rune paper, the red has not yet blurred, Fang Zheng's wrist began to tremble.
The pen walked the dragon and snake, before and after only half a minute, Fang Zheng picked up the pen, put the brush in the inkstone, and looked at the charm in front of him with satisfaction.
This is the most basic and simple kind of charm in the talisman---- on the Dao talisman.
