Chapter 37: The Art of Charms
"If you have something to say, you can let it go, if you don't work hard to learn medicine and practice martial arts, there are a lot of!" Lao Dao said with a straight face.
"Master, I'm not fooling around, there are indeed two major events that affect people's lives. The first thing is my grandfather's condition, the specific situation is like this......" Then Yang Jibin told the old man about his grandfather's illness in detail.
"Listening to you say this, your grandfather's condition is still very serious, and the old wounds have penetrated deep into the lungs and meridians, and it is not easy to completely heal them in a short time. If you can refine the White Bone Muscle Pill in the "Alchemy Treasure Book", you can cure this disease without much effort, but unfortunately, there are still a few main medicines! That's it, I'll prescribe a few pills to relieve the condition, stop the pain, and slowly recuperate with the medicine, and wait until I go to the Goddess Peak to try it, can I find those medicines! ”
"Master, don't you often tell me that Cloud Scar Peak is very dangerous and don't let me go, so in this way, isn't it even more dangerous to go to the Goddess Peak in the depths, you old man still don't go, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case! Master, there is still a shortage of those flavors of medicine in refining pills, I'll think of a way! ”
"What can you think of a little kid, it's certain that there is danger, but now I'm not what I used to be, even if I encounter danger, I believe it's not difficult to get out of the way!" After the strength of the old way soared, his confidence was also unprecedentedly inflated.
"Master, have you forgotten that I am an invincible lucky star, with the aura of the protagonist, hehe! Master really don't take any chances! "Yang Jibin doesn't want the master to do something for himself, not to mention that there is a space spring, at most he has to heal slowly.
"There are a total of 3 main medicines: intermittent mushroom, iron gold lock, knife and gun grass, the shape and medicinal properties must be clear to you, and they are recorded in the Medicine King Baicao Sutra."
"Yes, I got it. Master, I have to trouble you to dispense a few more pairs of medicines, the mother of a friend of mine accidentally fell and injured herself while working on a construction site a few years ago, and because she did not have enough money for timely treatment, it has been delayed until now, by the way, her mother still has some mental depression! Yang Jibin also asked Jing Miaozhu's mother for a few pairs of medicines in advance.
"This is not difficult, it stands to reason that you can also prescribe medicine!"
"Guangji grain is slowly king, and low-key is the king. What's more, the heart of the doctor's parents, wouldn't it be better to relieve the patient's pain faster? ”
"That's right, that's okay, you go to the pharmacy with the teacher, and the teacher will give you good guidance on how to dispense medicine for the symptoms!"
……
"By the way, Master, didn't you mention before that our Medicine King Sect also has a spell technique, which can drive away evil spirits and suppress the house, dispel diseases and cure pain?" Yang Jibin wanted to find out what the magic spells were for at the moment, and whether they were really as magical as he had heard.
"Well, this is true, a long, long time ago, our Medicine King Sect was full of talents,......
"Stop, stop, Master, isn't the first half of the sentence your old man, boasting about the sea and boasting, blowing and boasting that our Yaowang Sect is full of talents, magical secret techniques are flying all over the sky, and the second half of the sentence is that after the vicissitudes of life, they are all drowned in the rolling red dust?" As soon as he heard Lao Dao's words, Yang Jibin had a familiar feeling of déjà vu in his heart.
"Ah, how do you know?"
"That's no fun, huh? Then how did you blow so hard with me before, I still thought it was true, but now that the disaster is coming, why did you drop the chain like this? It's over, it's over! Yang Jibin's expression was a little painful.
"Apprentice, what the hell is going on? Why is it that the catastrophe is coming? Seeing that Yang Jibin's expression was wrong, Lao Dao's tone was very concerned.
"Master, do you believe that there are ghosts and monsters in this world?"
"This is nature, everything has a spirit, isn't it unusual for there to be elves and ghosts in the world?"
"Seeing is believing and hearing is false, has Master ever seen it with his own eyes?"
"Well, our Medicine King Gate is a sacred and solemn place, righteous and mighty, ghosts and gods are easy to dispel, how dare you ...... evil and filthy"
"Stop, stop, you haven't seen it? But I saw a monster last night, and it was so scary that it almost didn't eat me! Yang Jibin was in a rather dignified mood, how could he be in the mood to listen to Lao Dao Luoli's ramblings, and he was very rude to interrupt Lao Dao several times in a row.
"Is that true?" Seeing that Yang Jibin didn't seem to be a fake, Lao Dao suddenly looked a little serious.
"Am I such a boring child, it's okay to shout 'the wolf is coming' to play, Master, look at the scar on my back, it was scratched by the ghost claws last night. That monster is really blue-faced and fanged, and the most hateful thing is that it looks ugly and comes out scary......" Yang Jibin took off his shirt and told about last night's thrill.
"Yikes! So, are there really demons and monsters in this world? "There are already scars and scratches on Yang Jibin's body, and there is still a trace of evil and filthy atmosphere, which really ruined the three views of the old way.
"I've seen it with my own eyes, I've fought with it, and I can still fake it! Master, aren't we Taoist priests, aren't all Taoist priests able to draw talismans and chant mantras to exorcise demons and subdue demons? Yang Jibin asked a little unwillingly.
"Judging by your wounds and descriptions, last night was indeed a mountain ghost. Now that you've provoked it, we can't help but take precautions to prevent it from coming back for revenge! The art of spells has been around for a long time, and the ancient Yellow Emperor taught it to the Queen Mother of the West, and the Queen Mother of the West passed it on to Shao Hao, and Shao Hao passed it on to Zhen Hao. So it has been passed down from generation to generation, endlessly. Although the inheritance technique of our Medicine King Gate spell is almost annihilated, there is still some background. After finishing speaking, Lao Dao walked into the study and took out a few yellowed manuals from the bottom of the bookcase, and then explained it to Yang Jibin.
Charms are one of the main means of preaching and practicing in Chinese Taoism, and are the combined name of talismans and mantras.
Rune is a kind of pictographic text and graphics drawn on paper, and it is regarded as a talisman or talisman obtained from heaven to mobilize the power of ghosts and gods, and it is a letter of order to exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings.
The talisman usually records the Dharma of the Heavenly Officials Cao Ming, and there must be relevant rune spells in the talisman, so it is also commonly known as the Fa Gong. The inscription is derived from the aura of heaven, and it is distributed in the pen and ink to become the dragon seal chapter. The seal inscription is a certificate for Taoist priests to self-cultivate and establish their careers and move to Taoist positions, and also has the effect of preventing disasters and eliminating diseases for others. Talismans are also often accompanied by related charms and precepts. The higher the level of cultivation, the more the gods will be called, and the more effective the mana.
Mantras, phrases of three or four words that are often recited in the mouth of the mage, ranging from numbers to hundreds of words. The mantras of Taoism are derived from the "forbidden spells" of the shamans in the early period. Mantras, in general, are the language in which the mage and the gods can talk, and the gods can talk to each other and impart the benefits, and the gods are what make these oracles effective.
"Master, can you first help the apprentice draw a 'Suppressing Evil Charm', or a 'Town House Settlement Talisman', or draw a few more 'talismans' for me to deal with emergencies first, I really have something to do today, I want to go to the city to send medicine, and then we can study and study it well?" Yang Jibin, who has always admired short, flat and fast, pointed to a few runes on the manual that just worked.
"How can it be so easy to draw talismans, maybe you first bring back the string of purple gold bells enshrined in front of the statue of the ancestor in the main hall and hang them in the main beam, so that the ghosts can be condescending and dare not approach their houses when they see them from afar."
"Howler!" Yang Jibin followed the old way into the main hall, first prayed to the ancestor for pious incense, and prayed for blessings before taking the purple gold bell in his hand. As a result, as soon as I got started, the purple gold bell sounded a few times without wind.
"Hey, it works!" Lao Dao's eyes lit up, and he only saw a golden light from the purple golden bell, which shot into Yang Jibin's body, and then forced out a black smoke from Yang Jibin's body, and the black smoke dissipated after turning into a hideous face.
"Master, what happened just now, why do you feel weird?" Yang Jibin's heart throbbed and asked with some uneasiness.
"It's okay, just now the purple golden bell expelled the evil aura that remained on your scar!"
"Ah, no, that is so difficult, I'll take it all...... Ran away, why is it still haunting me? Then why can't I see that? Yang Jibin almost blurted out "cut off its head", the feeling of this enemy watching in the dark is too creepy, and it is no wonder that this scar is so difficult that it has not healed yet.
"In the future, when you have practiced the kung fu of Tianyantong, you will be able to see these unclean things."
"Sky Eye? Okay, then I'll do my errands first, Master! It wasn't too early, and Yang Jibin didn't continue to ask 100,000 whys, so he said goodbye to the master and left the Yaowang Temple.
Yang Jibin hurried to the Hongcheng Old Cadres Sanatorium, and as soon as he entered the house, he took out a large package of medicine and a porcelain jar filled with space spring water from his backpack, and said to Li Yuanliang: "Grandpa, this is the medicine that my master prepared for you, a total of three doses of medicine, each medicine should be decocted 3 times, boiled with a fire, the first decoction for 30 minutes, the second decoction for 25 minutes, and the third decoction for 20 minutes, take it while it is hot every morning and evening." This porcelain jar is filled with fairy water specially prepared for you, drinking such a cup every day can strengthen the foundation, strengthen the body, and eliminate hidden diseases. Of course, grandma can also drink it, go to the sick if you are sick, and strengthen your body without disease! ”
Yang Jibin pointed to the small teacup on the table, afraid that his grandfather would drink too much at one time and what would happen, so he instructed again: "Grandpa, you can't drink more fairy water every day." ”
"Binbin, thank you so much, I remember everything, and you also remember how to decoct medicine and drink water, old woman. Child, you're tired from afar, let's have dinner at my grandfather's house at noon today! Li Yuanliang was very relieved and very happy to keep Yang Jibin for dinner.
"My grandparents are so good to me, honoring you is what I should do, as long as I can help my grandfather, let me do anything. As for lunch, I won't eat it here, I really have urgent things to do! Yang Jibin hurriedly pushed back.
"Then what's the matter, you're just here and you're leaving! I told your aunt to go grocery shopping! Ren also tried his best to keep it.
"Grandparents and grandparents, it's really not my politeness, it's really urgent, I must stay for dinner next time I come back, okay?"
"You kid, there are not a lot of big things, that's okay, if you really have something, get busy, don't really delay your big event!" Li Yuanliang and Feng Shi saw that Yang Jibin didn't seem to be cheating, so they stopped keeping it.
Yang Jibin was amnesty, and quickly said goodbye and left, there are really a lot of things today, and we have to hurry up.
