Nian Fu said: "It sounds like there are a lot of sects! ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "These many sects, in terms of exercises, are slightly divided into three categories, one is the cultivation method of yin and yang dual cultivation, the second is the meditation method of pure solitary cultivation, and the third is the combination of yin and yang cultivation and pure solitary cultivation. Depending on the sect, the arguments are different, and each person's situation is different, and the exercises are ever-changing. The secular cultivation sect is divided into the Eastern School, the Western School, the Southern School, the Northern School, and the Central School], and the Hidden World School is the Gu Immortal School. (There is also a difference between the Gu Immortals, it is inconvenient to say more here) In short, the cultivation method cannot be practiced privately without anyone to guide the way, otherwise there will be endless troubles, and now the people of the Immortals must also prevent being deceived. ”

Nian Fu smiled and said: "Hehe, many people like Taoism, do you think our brothers have a chance, we have to spread it well, what about Taoism?" ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "This is our responsibility, and we must do something......

Nian Fu said: "Taoist Fu Gong culture originated from the worship of natural divine power in the early days of human beings, and under the inspiration of ancient insect books and seal books, natural objects such as clouds, birds, and beasts were copied and recorded, and they were recorded on a specific item and material with unique symbols and graphics, and gradually formed a huge and complex rune diagram and text of the Fu Gong system. Its contents not only represent the will and decree of the gods, but also give people a great deal of hope, prayer, and worship. In ancient times, there was the legend of the peach tree of Dushuo Mountain to drive away ghosts and avoid harm, and there was a big peach tree in Dushuo Mountain in the East China Sea, and there were two gods of Shen Tu and Yu Lei under it, which could dispel diseases and dispel a hundred ghosts. Therefore, the ancients made two wooden boards of peach wood, and painted the images of "Shen Tu" and "Yu Lei" on the left and right, called "peach fu", which is the earliest calligraphy as a urn.

Xiao Tianshu said: "Fu Gong art originated from witchcraft and was first seen in the Eastern Han Dynasty. "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Fangshu" contains: "There is a koji Shengqing in Henan, who is good at Danshu Fu, and impeaches and kills ghosts and gods and missions." Also remembered: Fei Changfang learned the Tao from the medicine seller (known as the pot man), and the medicine seller "is a symbol, saying: 'With this lord on the earth ghosts and gods.'" '…… He can heal all diseases, flog all ghosts, and drive the community." "After losing his charm, he was killed by all the ghosts."

Nian Fu said: "What is the root of this talisman? ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "In the process of teaching talisman art for a long time, Taoism has created a variety of talisman methods and made many talisman books. The created talismans are difficult to count, and the styles of talismans are strange. In summary, there are four main categories: replies. Most of them are composed of two or more small characters, and a few are formed by the combination of multiple horizontal and vertical twisted strokes. It is mainly found in the Taiping Sutra. Cloud seal. It is said to be the heavenly book of the manifestation of the gods, which is actually a talisman made by imitating the changing shape of the sky and clouds or the body of an ancient seal. It is mainly seen in the "Lingbao Immeasurable Human Superior Wonderful Sutra". Talismans, treasure talismans. A graphic made up of more complex dotted lines. Runic diagrams. A talisman made of the image of the god and the rune combined. There are also many such talismans, and they have also been found in ancient tomb excavations. The origin of the Fu Gong School - Fu Gong Shu Dao originated from the witchcraft. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" contains: Lu Shengqing "good for Dan calligraphy." "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty and the Biography of Fangshu" records that Fei Changfang learned the Tao from the medicine seller Weng Hugong, and the Hugong "is a symbol,...... It can treat all diseases. "The Seven Signatures of the Cloud Pipe" Volume 7 "Fu Zi" says: "With the essence of the Tao, the simple ink of the cloth, and the essence of things." Some Taoist priests and qi refiners are lucky to use them to cure diseases, which may produce certain curative effects. The Taoist book says: "Fu has no positive form, and it is spiritual with qi."

Nian Fu said: "Breath and spirit......"

Xiao Tianshu said: "Fu Gong is the main practice of Taoism. In the Song and Yuan dynasties, the three sects of Fu Zheng (the so-called "Three Mountains Fu Zong") were the Shangqing faction of Maoshan Mountain, the Lingbao faction of Gesoap Mountain, and the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain. Spells and blessings and curses are commonly used in Taoist books, and they are the language of contact with the gods, which is probably inherited from the ancient witch blessings. Like a charm, a spell is a spell that summons the spirits to achieve the purpose for which it is prayed. Fu, also known as "Shen Rune", "Fu Zi", "Ink Fu", "Dan Shu", etc., is a special symbol painted on yellow paper, silk or wooden board with Zhu or ink, which resembles a seal book, is difficult to identify, and gives people a mysterious and unpredictable feeling. "Xuanmen Dayi" explains: "The rune rises" is the text of the dragon chapter and the phoenix seal, and the word of the spiritual rune is also. Taoism claims that this kind of symbolic writing is imitated by the Qi of the "Three Yuan, Five Virtues and Eight Meetings" in the sky, and the "Heavenly Book Yunqi" is naturally formed. ”

Nian Fu said: "How do you usually draw talismans? ”

Xiao Tianshu said: "The procedure and drawing method of the talisman - the talisman is a secret magic weapon to communicate between people and gods, so it is not a casual scribble, so there is a so-called "drawing talismans do not know the trick, but provoke ghosts and gods to laugh; If you know how to draw a talisman, you will be shocked by the ghosts and gods". There are hundreds of ways to draw talismans, some of them have to pinch the trick and think that the gods come with the pen, and some of them have to step on the gang and recite mantras...... It is very elaborate in laying paper and ink, moving pens, etc., and its procedures are complex and cumbersome, which is enough to make good men and women dizzy. Ancient Chinese cultivators believed that charms, as the foundation of the five arts of mountain, medicine, divination, life and physiognomy, were the medium and channel for the dialogue between the cultivators and the heavens (spiritual realm). The charm is composed of five elements: "Fu Head", "Main God and Buddha", "Fu Belly", "Fu Foot", and "Fu Guts". If the talisman is used as a metaphor for a person, the talisman is like a person's head; The presiding deity and Buddha are like a person's mind and heart; The talisman belly is like the stomach of an abdomen, which is the place where we write the effect of the talisman; The foot is like a man's foot; A talisman is like a person's liver and gallbladder, if a talisman does not have a gall, it is like a door without a lock, and bad people can enter at will. Therefore, the talisman has a very important position for the talisman. Since ancient times, there have been many sects of talismans, but each worships its ancestor and is different, which is why the code of its talisman is also different. For example, the common "three hooks" on many runes are the marks that represent the three Qings (Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, Taiqing Daode Tianzun) or the Three Realms Gong (Chenghuang, land, and ancestor). The three hooks represent the three Qings on the whole symbol, and those under the edict and the name of the gods represent the Three Realms. When writing this "three hooks", you should secretly recite the mantra: "One stroke moves the world; Two Patriarch Sword; The three fierce gods went thousands of miles away. "One stroke and one sentence must be just right, which is the so-called "stepping on the talisman head". The "talisman head" also has an edict, a thunder order...... and so on as the head of the talisman, its variety, due to the different sects are different, generally please God, dispatch troops, many books to the "edict" as the head of the talisman. If there is no "three hooks" and three clear symbols, you must curse: "The sky is round and the place is round, the law is nine chapters, I write now, and ten thousand ghosts are hidden." Can. ”
