Chapter 20 Drawing a Talisman Doesn't Become a Ghost Knocking on the Door
As mentioned last time, Wang Mubai went to Zhang Yimen, ready to officially start learning Taoism.
Zhang Yi Yi Wang Mu to his own secluded Xuling Mountain, the mountain is rarely visited, but it is an excellent scenery, it is autumn, the setting is colorful, there is a grass house in the mountain, it is Zhang Yi's place.
The two rested here for a few days, Wang Mu found that Zhang Yi did not teach himself the meaning of Taoism, and for a few days, the two only occasionally went up the mountain to hunt and enjoy the falling flowers.
Gradually, Wang Mu's patience ran out, and on this day, Wang Mu finally couldn't help but ask, "Master, when will we start learning the Dao Fa?" ”
Zhang Yi thought for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Which Dao technique do you want to learn?" ”
Wang Mu was a little confused when he heard this, and wondered: "Do you still need to subdivide the Dao technique?" ”
Zhang Yi smiled and said: "Daoist, if you don't specialize in art, the general rule is the law, once you rise to the Dao law, you will be reborn from the outside, in order to become an immortal." And with the different potentials of each person, the types of Dao methods suitable for cultivation are also different, and the speed and degree of cultivation are also different. All the laws in the world belong to the Tao, which means that all spells are born from the Tao. There are many types of Taoism, including inner Dan, outer Dan, divination, charms, forbidden spells, retreats, stilts, exorcisms, subduing demons, subduing demons, eliminating disasters, praying, room techniques, fairy arts, Bigu, etc., beginners need to set up a platform to worship the sky and other rituals to be able to cast spells, this is a borrowed method. Once you practice at a high place, you can feel the aura of heaven and earth, and you can retract and release it freely. ”
Wang Mu's head hurt when he heard this, he only saw that Zhang Yi, Pan Gu and others had high mana, and they didn't need any movements, and they didn't think that they had to learn, but they had to start from the most basic learning, and they didn't know what year and month they would be able to achieve positive results.
Wang Mu thought for a while and said, "Let's start with the most basic and best divination technique." ”
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yi laughed and said: "The art of divination is the most mysterious, the art of divination, the shallow can understand the good and evil of things, and even be able to penetrate the heavens, which is very mysterious." ”
Zhang Yi explained: "The art of divination comes from Yi, which is commonly known as "Zhou Yi", and now the Yi that has been circulated in the mortal world is no longer the immortal art, but the experience of later generations. The ancient Book of Changes was left by the Chaos Yuan Spirit, which is one of the three treasures that fell in the mortal world, recording the past and future of the Six Realms and the Three Realms, and recording in detail the various disasters that have occurred and will occur in the world. Most of the current divination techniques are only used to measure good fortune and evil, and there is no such magic. ”
Wang Mu hurriedly asked, "Then can I learn?" ”
Zhang Yi shook his head and said: "Not yet, Bu people have high requirements for qualifications, you can learn other Taoist techniques first, wait for you to have some small success, and establish a connection with heaven and earth, at that time, you will get twice the result with half the effort." ”
Wang Mu nodded, he knew that Zhang Yi was good for himself, and he could also feel that Zhang Yi really wanted to teach himself well.
Zhang Yi stretched out his right hand, and a pile of rune paper appeared in his hand, and he said: "That's it, I'll teach you to draw talisman borrowing first, subduing demons and eliminating demons can not only be like us, but drawing talisman borrowing is also a good choice." ”
Wang Mu snorted, as for drawing talismans, Wang Mu has seen it in old movies, those Taoist priests wearing Taoist uniforms use talismans to subdue ghosts and catch zombies, and they have tried everything, thinking that one day they can be like them, Wang Mu can't help but feel a little excited.
Zhang Yi took out a piece of rune paper and threw it into the air, his right hand formed a sword finger and drew a few strokes on the paper, and the rune paper burned out of thin air, rotating around Wang Mu while burning, until the rune paper burned out and turned into a wisp of dust, and then slowly fell to the ground.
Wang Mu looked at the situation in front of him excitedly, and Zhang Yi explained: "This talisman is called a tracking talisman, which is a very basic talisman used to track the fleeing monsters and the people they want to find. There is a connection between the person who draws the talisman and the charm, as long as he thinks about what he wants to track, the charm can track it until it finds the target and then it will automatically burn, and the person who draws the talisman can feel where the target is. ”
Wang Mu nodded solemnly, and then said, "Master, can you teach me again, I didn't see it clearly just now." ”
Zhang Yi's face was black, he glanced at Wang Mu with disdain, and then said: "You still don't admit that you are stupid." You are just starting to learn to draw talismans, first draw them on yellow paper with cinnabar, you don't have any mana yet, so it is best to draw talismans at a specific time to be easy to draw. The symbols are divided into yin and yang, the yang symbols are best drawn at noon, and the yin symbols are best drawn. There is cinnabar and yellow paper in the house, and it is noon, so you can go in and practice drawing yang charms. Here's a book on drawing talismans, take it and read it. After speaking, Zhang Yi handed Wang Mu a book bound to a simple book, and Wang Mu walked into the hut after taking it.
The cover of this book is yellow, and it is a few years old at first glance, and the paper is not pressed with wood pulp like today's books, and the paper is very smooth.
There are many ways to draw symbols in the book, and there are real illustrations next to them.
According to the book, there are many kinds of yang charms, among which the fixing talisman, thunder talisman, fire talisman, blasting talisman, five thunder town house talisman, disease dispelling talisman, acceleration talisman, gathering yang talisman and so on are the most commonly used. The Yin Charm is represented by the Stealth Talisman, the Water Diversion Talisman, the Ice Talisman, the Gathering Yin Talisman, etc.
The power of a talisman is also related to many factors, such as the mana of the person who draws the talisman, the material of the talisman paper, the material of the talisman, and even the time and place.
The commonly used material for drawing talismans is cinnabar, and some people use cinnabar and chicken blood to draw talismans, and the power of drawing talismans will be stronger if they use human blood, and at a certain stage, you can draw talismans out of thin air, and the mana is condensed into a solid drawing on the talisman, and the power is also the strongest.
The rune paper has the difference between yellow and purple runes, of course, these are only the two commonly used, and some people use gold foil or even jade pieces to make talismans, as for the mana, it is comparable to the yellow talisman.
Wang Mu thought that some people would use gold leaf or even jade pieces to make talismans, probably just because rich people are willful.
If the mind is disordered and the limbs are unclean, although the charm has been passed on, there will be no supernatural spirits, and the ghosts and gods will abandon it.
There are also seven precepts and five taboos, one precept is not right, the second precept is filthy, the third precept is unclean, the fourth precept is not hearty, the five precepts are not in the right direction, the sixth precept is eating meat and drinking, and the seven precepts are rewritten and rewritten. The five taboos are one taboo for pregnant women, the second taboo is the talisman of the filthy, the third taboo is disturbed by others, the four taboo talisman is incompatible, and the five taboo talisman is filthy.
If you violate these seven precepts and five taboos, you will anger the gods and attract ghosts, and the only way to crack them is to use them immediately or set them on fire.
Seeing this, Wang Mu had some understanding of the talisman, and before noon, Wang Mu was ready to experiment with the simplest talisman.
The brush is dipped in cinnabar, the yellow paper is laid on the table, and the tiger ears are drawn according to the cat, and it should not be very difficult to draw the symbols.
But when he began to really put his pen on the paper, Wang Mu realized that drawing a symbol was really a delicate job, and he didn't look like a seemingly simple figure, and he gradually felt a little anxious.
Dozens of drawings were drawn, but none of them were decent, and there was only one rune paper left, Wang Mu held his breath and concentrated, engrossed in it, drawing slowly one stroke at a time, the talisman seat, the talisman foot, the talisman trick, and finally drew a fixed talisman that could be seen in the past, watching a perfect talisman born in his hands, Wang Mu couldn't help the excitement in his heart, and blurted out a letter starting with "f", of course, he didn't notice it himself.
Wang Mu took the drawn talisman to find Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi took the talisman paper and glanced at it, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, the power may not be very great, but after all, it condenses the yang energy of noon." ”
Wang Mu couldn't wait to ask, "Master, how to use this talisman?" ”
Zhang Yi explained: "There are only three ways to use the talisman, or paste or burn or swallow, this talisman needs to be attached to the body and then with the corresponding spell to take effect, the spell is in the back of the book, you have to memorize it carefully." ”
Wang Mu nodded as if he didn't understand, and then silently recited the mantra behind the ancient book a few times, and put down the book only after making sure that he was familiar with it.
Zhang Yi walked into the room, saw the discarded yellow paper all over the ground, frowned, and then said, "Tomorrow I will start teaching you to cultivate True Qi, so as to slowly improve the power of the talisman you draw, and also lay the foundation for your future practice." ”
There was nothing to do that day, that night, Wang Mu was sleeping soundly in bed, and Zhang Yi sat outside the house and looked at the starry sky thoughtfully.
Suddenly, Wang Mu felt that someone next to him pushed him, Wang Mu thought it was Zhang Yi, muttered in his sleep, turned around and continued to sleep.
A voice said next to Wang Mu's pillow: "I'm so hungry, give me something to eat!" Then there was the sound of chewing and grinding teeth.
Wang Mu said half-asleep: "Master, it's so late, let's eat tomorrow." ”
Suddenly, Wang Mu sat up in shock, and saw a very terrifying person sitting next to him with protruding eyes and a thin face, holding the roast chicken used to worship the heavens in the house.
Wang Mu was shocked and asked, "Who is it?" ”
The "man" looked at Wang Mu and said with a strange smile: "I'm so hungry, I want to eat ......"
