Chapter Forty-Six: Beginner Learns the Art of Charms
"Disciple, there are four key points to our Taoist talismans: talismans, which are calligraphy talismans, representing official documents and laws in the spiritual world; Mantra is a mantra, representing the spiritual code and chanting commands and persuasion; The seal, that is, the mudra, represents the authority and seal of the spiritual realm; Dou is Bu Gang Dou, which is divided into five elements, seven stars, gossip and other different gang steps, which represent different powers. ”
"The composition of a talisman is organized into five main parts: the head of the talisman, the most important of which is the opening of the talisman, just like the human eye; The main rune: The function of each rune is different, and you should find the rune of the main thing; In the belly of the talisman, the difference between what the function of this talisman is to be used for lies in this, such as slaying demons and eliminating evil spirits or town houses; Fu gall, for the essence of a charm (soul and soul), whether the charm can be effective or not is all in this trick; Fu foot: (Jue Soul) for the meaning of inviting soldiers to guard, the foot of the charm changes a lot, it all depends on the purpose of the talisman itself, and the fork foot also has a formula. ”
"As for the types of charms, there are no more than four categories: suppression, prayer, summoning, and healing. Suppression and prayer should be done with yellow paper, cinnabar notes, mahogany boards, cypress boards, lightning boards and other supplies. Painting with cinnabar or rosin ink, all of which are mainly posted, worn or buried; Summoning and healing talismans must be painted with cinnabar on yellow paper, and mainly burned and swallowed. ”
After research, charms and spells are innate opportunities, which are insects, fish, birds and beasts and inadvertently leave their voices and traces to show people. The wise man understands it and makes use of it. So its effect, so that the upper poor blue falls through the yellow spring. The gods change, and their magic is unfathomable.
The talisman is made up of countless ciphertexts. The person who draws the symbol holds the pen like writing, and the order of the pen should not be confused. The reason why Fu can serve ghosts and gods is because ghosts and gods can recognize this ciphertext, and if there is no error, the ghosts and gods can listen to their orders. Otherwise, the ghosts and gods will not only not listen to his commands, but will laugh at them. Angering the spirits and spirits will have the opposite effect.
Therefore, drawing symbols is like writing, the order of the pen rises and falls, there is a certain amount, the drawing of the symbol can not be hasty, the stroke of the symbol is neither more nor less, otherwise it will fail. The symbols are not allowed to be scribbled at will, and there are also words and graphics in between, all of which are ancient secret texts, although we do not know them, but the ghosts and gods can know them. The strokes of its talismans are complex and abnormal, and non-Taoist people do not know its clues. If the pen is good, the ghosts and gods will be called, and they will not dare to disobey the order.
When drawing talismans, it is especially necessary to screen the train of thought, the brain is empty, and the heart cavity is pure. It must be a heroic breath, the air runs through the dantian, the appearance of dignity is exposed to the outside, the spirit is full of energy, and the command is unimpeded. In such a realm, the gods are fulfilled.
After Lao Dao carefully explained the basic knowledge of talisman to Yang Jibin, he then took him to the desk, pointed to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and said: "Apprentice, you are now a beginner, the first step is to know how to draw talismans and practice the basic skills of drawing talismans. ”
"Okay, let me try, how to draw peach talismans by ghosts, first draw all the evil talismans in the whole town according to the gourd and try it, hehe!" Yang Jibin laid the manual flat on the desk, picked it up and prepared to copy it.
"Apprentice, if you draw and play, it's fine, if you draw the talismans formally, you can't look like this!" Looking at Yang Jibin, who was a little hanging, Lao Dao shook his head gently.
"Ah, Master, what else is there to pay attention to here?" Yang Jibin stopped his movements and turned to look at the master.
"That's nature, and the drawing must be sincere in order to be fulfilled. If the mind is disordered and the limbs are unclean, even though the charm has been transmitted, it will not be effective. Therefore, the drawing of talismans must follow the seven precepts and five taboos:
What is the Seven Precepts of Drawing Talismans: 1. Caution against improper thoughts. 2. Abstain from filthy hands and mouth. 3. The abstinence is unclean. 4. Do not be careful. 5. The direction of the precepts is not correct. 6. Quit meat and alcohol. 7. Repeat the pen and change the pen. If they can be sure to obey it, the ghosts and gods will see their sincerity and offer the edict, and they will hear the call and do it, and it will be fulfilled. Otherwise, not only will the spell not work, but it will touch the gods and bring disaster to people.
Five taboos for drawing talismans: In addition to the seven precepts, there are five taboos that must also be observed. 1. Do not take it by hand for pregnant women. 2. Avoid filth and look at the symbols. 3. Avoid disturbance by others. 4. Don't spell the spell is incompatible. 5. Do not filth the altar. If those who commit these five taboos, although the wrath of the ghosts and gods does not fall, how can there be any effect? Therefore, those who draw talismans must be cautious and not offend. ”
"Wow, so many terms and conditions, they are about to catch up with the rules and precepts of being a monk." Yang Jibin stuck out his tongue and looked at this complicated rune for a while, it was really a tiger biting a hedgehog, and he didn't know where to start his mouth, so he had to put down the brush and said to the master: "Master, please let your old man demonstrate, how to draw this rune?" ”
"Now you know, your frizzy personality is really getting better. Where the house is restless; The ghost appeared, and all the evil charms in this town were used to suppress it, and all of them should not be fulfilled.
When drawing the talisman, you have to cooperate with the spell, the spell of this talisman is: the sky has a heavenly general, the earth has the earth, smart and upright, impartial, cut the evil and eliminate the evil, solve the difficulty and safety, such as dry god anger, powder bones and ashes.
As for the stroke order: first draw two points on the left, pick up the end of the point, like a bird, two small points in front, and then a large point in the middle, and two vertical points on the left. A little to the right, then start from the middle and make a circle to the left. A point at the bottom left, a vertical hook on the right, write two Yi characters vertically, draw a point next to the hook, and recite the incantation three times when drawing. And so it was. Lao Dao talked to himself, picked up the pen in one go, and in an instant, a rune jumped on the paper.
"Hey, Master, can you slow down the painting, I didn't even see it clearly. Isn't this talisman you drew ready to use? ”
"No, no, no, how can there be such a simple thing, this talisman is only in its form, and it has not yet attained its god. This talisman is a posted talisman, and most of these talismans are painted with cinnabar or rosin ink; Paper should be made of yellow paper cinnabar, or peach board, lightning board, poplar board, cypress board, etc.; The pen should be a sheep's hair pen and must be subject to ediction. These objects must be pure and unblemished, and they must be carefully selected, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the fulfillment of the symbols they draw. "It's like squeezing toothpaste, and it's another big call.
"To use a sheep's pen and it has to be reciprocated? What does that mean? ”
"What is a kind of receptivity, it is a reward, a special function, and a privilege. To put it bluntly, it means to be recognized by the ghosts and gods, and to be able to communicate with the ghosts and gods. Okay, so I won't talk nonsense, now I'll teach you the role of these runes, spells, and stroke order, and the rest will be slowly taught to you in the future. ”
"The town house settling down charm can eliminate disasters and blessings, and drive away ominousness. Spell: Heavenly thunder Yin, thunder faint, Liujia Liuding, hear my name, do not stay, welcome auspicious blessings, Yongzhen Dragon God. Stroke order: This talisman first draws the two words of tranquility in a seal book, writes the four characters of dragon god Yongzhen in the middle of the word An, and then draws a circle on the dragon character to write the spell. When you write the last word, circle it to the left, recite the mantra seven times in your mouth, and finish the circle.
The town of the evil house is weird, where all the evil houses have seen ghosts, or harmed people, so that the town can live in peace. Spell: The heavens and the earth are dim, the thunder and lightning, the wind and fire, the officials and the soldiers, if you hear the name, come quickly, drive away the ghostly, catch the elves, Anlong town house, and the merit is in the heavenly court. Stroke order: first write a bucket of words in the middle, from the end of a vertical, turn to the right, to the intersection of the right straight down, fold to the upper right skimming, left and right two vertical each write a fire word, left to left, right to right, the end in the middle of the pen to make five songs to the end, add a point, the book chant seven times.
The town of cattle and sheep is weird, and all the cattle and sheep of domestic animals or make strange can be this. Spell: Hehe Yangyang, now I am the light of God, the wind and fire and thunder, guarding me, I am ordered, and I am ominous. Stroke order: first write a ghost word, as above, but the right side of a cow glyph, write a static word smeared, write a god word, left and right each make three circles down, two Wei words in the middle, add three points down, and then reverse from the left to make three circles. ”
……
"Apprentice, you can take these manuals with you, observe them carefully, and practice them diligently. Drawing runes is a process where practice makes perfect, only if you reach the level of instantaneous, such as caught off guard, halfway to encounter ghosts and ghosts, there is no symbol on the body, you can concentrate on the right hand with the middle fingers of the middle finger, to the air to draw the rune can also, but the pen part can not be confused. After Lao Dao carefully taught the various runes recorded in the manual a few times, he handed the manual to Yang Jibin.
"Okay, Master, I'll work hard."
"It's good if you know, and you won't be verbose as a teacher. Today, while it's still early, I'll teach you two more martial arts as a teacher, one is the Tianyantong I mentioned to you yesterday, and the other is the Five Birds Opera. "Lao Dao originally only planned to teach Yang Jibin the spell today, but he never thought that Yang Jibin's comprehension and memory were really perverted, and it didn't take much time to hollow out Lao Dao.
"Okay, General Han Xin has a lot ......of soldiers, uh, Master wait for me, I still have to learn from your teleportation of shrinking into inches!" Just when Yang Jibin wanted to say a few crooked words, Lao Dao flashed his figure and went out.
After coming to the grove where he practiced, Lao Dao said: "The following is for the teacher to teach you the unique martial arts of this sect, Tianyantong, this exercise is to practice the inner strength of the eyes." The primary level of this exercise can be used for night vision, which is conducive to night walking, underwater vision, water opening eyes, and water swimming.
When this exercise is completed at the intermediate level, you can observe the internal vision, micro vision, and perspective, and you can observe the vitality of heaven and earth, feng shui and luck, look at the gods, judge the life and death of people, and check all things to distinguish good and evil, loyalty and treachery;
The highest level is to open the eye of heaven, to see through a hundred miles, to see through all falsehoods, like fiery eyes, not to be fascinated by illusions, to understand the true self; King Kong is angry, ghosts and gods are easy, snatching people's hearts, killing invisible;
Legend has it that when the eye of heaven is practiced to the extreme, it can perceive thousands of miles and observe the past and future of all things, but if you abuse this technique, you will be punished by heaven and eat yourself, so you need to be cautious! ”
