Chapter 13: Introduction to Taoism
Since ancient times, Chinese Taoism has been inherited through the ages, and there are many outstanding Taoist talents in these thousands of years, such as Yuan Tiangang and other people, and in the millennium, Taoist people in addition to absorbing the qi of heaven and earth, there are also a lot of charms, these charms are Taoist people to use to subdue demons and eliminate demons.
However, due to a lot of things that have happened in the millennium, a lot of sects have been derived, each sect has its own unique charms, but it is not enough to rely on these sect disciples to maintain the right path in the world, so each sect will also accept outer disciples, these outer disciples are commonly known as Mr. Yin and Yang, and Uncle Yi is a gentleman.
Although the charms are different, there is one thing in common, that is, the charms all have charms on them.
The talisman is composed of five elements: "talisman head", "main god and Buddha", "talisman belly", "talisman foot", and "talisman gall". 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; Fu gall is like a person's liver and gall bladder.
If a talisman does not have the gall, it is like the door is not locked, and the bad guys can enter it at will. Therefore, the talisman has a very important position for the talisman.
There is also a special attention when drawing the symbols, and before the calligraphy symbols, you must change your clothes and bathe, which is a sign of piety. Then place the desk outside the hall door, in a quiet place, or in front of the idol of the god. Prepare the tools for the calligraphy (pen, black, paper, inkstone, water, plant sand), candlestick, incense, flowers, tea, fruit, tea, table circumference, worship mat, mercy and purity, open the spiritual rune department, and put it in front of the incense burner.
Burn incense and pray to the gods of heaven and earth, and explain to the gods or the prayer platform of heaven what it is, such as dispel disasters and relieve misfortunes, or heal diseases, etc., and then turn on the water mantra, cinnabar mantra, pen mantra, paper mantra and then chant the mantra. When writing the talisman, the mind must be concentrated, in one go, there can be no distracting thoughts, no pause, so that the talisman will have a magical effect. It is by no means anytime, anywhere, and you can handle the calligraphy at will. The ancients said that "one sincerity can touch the heavens and the earth, ghosts and gods." ”
After the talisman is written, the pen is reversed, and the whole body is engrossed in the tip of the pen, and the tip of the pen is used to hit the talisman paper three times, (from the bottom to the top) and then the sword finger or the vajra finger is used to make the talisman, when the talisman is made, the fingers should be forced, and there must be a feeling as if receiving the divine power finger three times, so that the merit is complete. It must also be stamped as required.
Since the school holiday is not very long, Uncle Yi briefly introduced me to the rules of drawing talismans and then taught me how to draw talismans. Since this period of time is relatively short, I haven't learned these before, so Uncle Yi taught me to draw two kinds of symbols. One of these two talismans is the Ding Mao Ke evil demon control talisman, and the other is the six Ding amulet.
When encountering ghosts, as long as you stick this talisman on the forehead or chest of the demon, and then urge the spell, then the ghost will definitely be wiped out, because these two places are the ghost door of the ghost, once broken, then the ghost will be annihilated in the world.
And the six-ding talisman is to summon the six-ding god to protect the whole body, which can be done without invasion of all evils, as long as there is this charm on the body, you can ignore the attack of the demons, but this charm has a time limit, after all, it is to summon the six-ding six-ding god, so the time is not very long.
If these two talismans are used together, as long as they are not ruthless, such as yin ghosts, demons and zombies, the others can be easily handled, and the female ghost in the school, according to Uncle Yi, as long as it does not become a yin ghost, I can solve it with these two talismans.
However, Uncle Yi also told me that if this female ghost is really the girl who died when the school was founded, she has been trapped in the school for so many years, and the place where the school was built is a mass grave such an extremely yin place, it is estimated that it is inevitable to become a yin ghost.
After that, in addition to going home to eat and sleep, I went to Uncle Yi's house to learn how to draw these two kinds of talismans and learn the method of cultivation. Although these two symbols do have such effects, it is not so simple to draw them.
First of all, I also said earlier that the talisman should be completed with one stroke, and it is not good to break it at all, and the talisman has to look at one's own practice, the talisman drawn by ordinary people is useless, it is completely a piece of waste paper, and even if it is a cultivator, there will be a part of the talisman that is waste, not to mention a new person like me.
When I first started learning, I didn't enter the Fa at all, I couldn't feel the natural qi, and none of the talismans I drew were useful, all of them were waste talismans, which made me feel very frustrated.
However, Uncle Yi said that my physique and life are suitable for learning the Tao, and learning the Tao is much faster than other ordinary people, which also gives me some hope again, and I continue to practice according to the method that Uncle Yi said.
One night after a day or two, I was lying on my bed agonizing, and I had been practicing according to the Fa for several days, but I had only just found a little bit of the Fa, and I still hadn't cultivated the aura of a Taoist, and what made me even more distressed was that I had never successfully drawn a talisman.
And the vacation is coming to an end, and it's not very long, and if I can't draw those two talismans, the school will probably suffer by then. Thinking like this, I somehow fell asleep.
Somehow I found myself between heaven and earth, something as thin as a light mist flowing slowly around me. I was in a beautiful environment, with a dense forest growing greenery, a waterfall in the distance, and water pouring down from a high place, stirring up a lot of blisters.
Countless beautiful birds fly freely and chirp in the heavens and the earth, and the strong natural breath fills the whole heaven and earth. I also felt the light mist around me slowly seeping into my body, and I suddenly felt a light feeling in my body, and a feeling of lightness filled my body.
On the second day, when I opened my eyes, I found that I was still lying in my bed, and I felt something unusual in my body, and I felt as if some qi had gathered in my body, which was very different. After breakfast, I impatiently walked to Uncle Yi's house, in fact, I also guessed what was going on, but I still wanted Uncle Yi to give me a positive answer.
Soon I came to Uncle Yi's house, and Uncle Yi was sitting on a reclining chair, and when he saw me coming, Uncle Yi beckoned me to sit next to him.
