Chapter 162: The Way of the Talisman

Previous Chapter

Ugly Bajie obediently leaned over and kowtowed, nodded his forehead to the ground, and bowed three times to the old woman with a serious face;

"Master!"

The old woman was full of joy, smiled from ear to ear, turned to look at the offering table, she wanted to use the holy water to wash the dirt for the ugly eight precepts, but suddenly found that the holy water was gone, and after a few breaths, she suddenly realized;

"Alas! Holy water is gone! ”

The old woman frowned slightly, turned around quietly, and couldn't help but smile dumbly the moment she saw Ugly Bajie, especially when she saw the water stains on Ugly Bajie's body, she shook her head and smiled bitterly with a little self-deprecation;

"Alas! I'm dizzy with joy! ”

Lao Yu reached into his arms, took out a red purse, reached out and took it off his neck, carefully held it on the palm of his hand, and after staring at it reluctantly, the old woman cherished the red purse and put it on the neck of the ugly Bajie;

"Come on! Child! This is for you, firstly, it is a gift that you worship me as a teacher today, and a gift from your teacher, and secondly, it is also a token between our master and apprentice, and when you accept an apprentice in the future, you can also pass this on to him! ”

Chou Bajie reached out and picked up the red purse, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully;

I saw that the red purse the size of a child's palm was embroidered with the pattern of Tai Chi Yin and Yang Bagua with golden silk threads, bound by a red rope, and the purse looked bulging, and I didn't know what it contained;

Chou Bajie pinched the red purse, couldn't feel what was inside, and looked at the old woman with a puzzled face;

"Grandma! What's in there? ”

The old woman's pretentious face changed;

"Huh? What do you call me? You forgot about it just after you finished worshipping the teacher? ”

Ugly Bajie looked embarrassed and flushed;

"Master! I still want to call you 'Grandma'! ”

The old woman's heart trembled, and at the moment she only felt that a warm current instantly flowed all over her body, gathering in the position of her chest, making her feel warm and comfortable, she knew that this feeling was called moving, and at the same time, she also deeply experienced the feelings of Ugly Bajie for her;

"Silly boy! Grandma is teasing you! In the future, you can call me whatever you want to call me, and from now on, I will not only be your master, but also your grandmother! ”

Ugly Bajie nodded seriously;

"Hmm!"

The old woman stretched out her hand and helped the ugly Bajie up;

"Good boy! Hurry up! From now on you will be my only apprentice! ”

Ugly Bajie stood up and grinned with grins;

The old woman pointed to the red purse;

"This is a talisman, and it is the most precious purple talisman, which is handed down by grandma ancestors, which can not only clear the heart and calm the mind, but also protect oneself and prevent all evils! You have to keep it alive, don't lose it! ”

Chou Bajie carefully put the purse close to his body, with a serious guarantee;

"Hmmm! I remembered! ”

The old woman smiled and nodded with satisfaction;

"What a good boy!"

Ugly Bajie looked at the old woman with curiosity;

"Grandma! What is an amulet? ”

The old woman explained with a kind smile;

"The talisman is the talisman, the talisman is one of them, and there are also the diligent talisman, the disaster amulet, the evil charm charm, the demon breaking talisman, the house talisman, the exorcism talisman, the fortune talisman, the peace talisman, the spiritualist talisman, the swift talisman, the spirit attraction talisman, the vigorous talisman, please the god talisman..."

The old woman read out a series of names of talismans in one breath, and she was dizzy when she heard it, but he still tried hard to memorize and learn;

"There are a total of one hundred and eight kinds of talismans with different effects before and after, corresponding to thirty-six Tiangang and seventy-two earth shas, so they are collectively called Tiangang talismans and earth shasers, and the specific drawing methods are all recorded in the Taoist book "Xuanmen Dao Fu"!"

The old woman looked at the ugly Bajie with a serious look, and continued to explain with great satisfaction;

"Thirty-six Tiangang talismans, you can ask the gods to exorcise ghosts, kill demons and eliminate demons, and in legends, you can even stealthily penetrate the wall, move mountains and reclaim the sea, and seventy-two earth charms, you can secretly stay in the house, keep safe, attract wealth and treasure, and eliminate disasters and solve problems!"

Ugly Bajie listened leisurely, his mind was full of thoughts, and the monkey was dancing and overjoyed;

"The talisman is to use mana to depict the Dao technique in the form of a heavenly dao pattern on the rune paper refined by a special secret method, and according to the different materials and powers, it is divided into five categories: gold, silver, purple, blue, and yellow!"

The ugly Bajie and the monkey listened attentively;

"The golden talisman is the most powerful, and at the same time, the Taoist requirements for the painter are also the highest, and the power consumed is also the greatest, silver is second, purple and blue are second, and the lowest requirement is yellow, which is also the simplest and easiest talisman to draw;"

The old woman pointed to the yellow talisman on the offering table;

"Most people can only depict yellow talismans in their lives because of their qualifications, comprehension, mana cultivation, Taoism realm and other reasons, if they forcibly depict high-level talismans, they will usually fail to draw talismans, and even be counterattacked!"

The old woman admonished with a solemn expression;

"Child, you remember, in the future, as long as it is not a matter of life and death, do not forcibly depict high-level talismans, otherwise once it is counterattacked by spiritual power, the light ones will be confused in the meridians and half of the body, and the heavy ones will bleed and die on the spot!"

Ugly Bajie nodded seriously;

"Hmmm! I remembered! ”

The old woman nodded slightly with satisfaction;

"The type of spell of the talisman is the same as the spell mastered by the person who draws the talisman, because the person who draws the talisman can only do it in one go when he is familiar with this spell, otherwise once the spiritual power collapses, it is easy to fail to draw the talisman!"

The ugly eight precepts seemed to understand and listened to it, and remembered it seriously;

"There are still many taboos when drawing talismans, not only to recite mantras, but also to be refreshed, and the most important thing is that talismans are not ordinary people can draw, you must have a certain amount of mana cultivation, and the realm of Taoism and qualification can be drawn!"

The old woman's expression gradually became serious;

"There is also a saying that talismans are not drawn by ordinary people, they must come from the hands of specially trained high daoists, and they are spiritual talismans.

The more he listened, the more puzzled he became, and subconsciously raised his arm and scratched his head, the monkey followed suit, and then raised his furry monkey paws, scratching the monkey's head with a puzzled face;

It is also required that when drawing symbols, we must strictly abide by the procedures for drawing symbols, drawing methods, and requirements to draw to have an effect, a total of ten precepts and eight taboos, which is a moral requirement for people who draw symbols! The legend must be observed, otherwise the talisman drawn will have no effect! ”

The old woman casually picked up a yellow talisman from the offering table;

"Of course, there are some spells that can be cast without a talisman, and there are also talismans that can be cast without mana, which can be used by ordinary people, but this is an extremely ordinary talisman, because it has little effect, so the requirements are not high!"

The old woman looked at the yellow talisman in her hand, and suddenly felt a lot of emotion;

"However, there is no definite number of things in the world, and they change all the time, so some things are always different from person to person."
