Chapter 12: The Insight of the Practitioner

The master was also very pleased when he heard this, and then said, "I can't imagine that you have such an awareness at such a young age. ”

I wondered, "Do you old men your age like to say such things?" ”

Master glared at me and said, "Don't talk about this, since you have decided to cultivate, then I will start teaching you the Dao technique, and from the first time you shouted 'Hurry as a Law', your fate began to change." ”

"What is 'hasty as a law'?" I asked Master.

Master explained, "'Hurry as a law' is like a catalyst, a mantra that prompts the occurrence of spells, and what we are good at in Maoshan is all kinds of charms. ”

I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, the talisman that the master gave me before didn't need a formula, but the master also sensed my thoughts and explained to me: "The talisman I gave you before is a self-rune, and the characteristics of this talisman can be used directly, but the function or power will be much smaller than that of the Lingxing talisman. ”

I nodded, and the master saw that I understood and continued to say to me: "You naturally understand that the more powerful the talisman, the more difficult it is to make, and I will now teach you to draw the first talisman, which is also the most basic talisman for catching ghosts." With that, Master took out a talisman from his bosom and handed it to me, and I saw that it was the "Enlightenment Talisman of the Practitioner" that Master had given me earlier.

The Master took out a piece of yellow paper, a brush and a handful of cinnabar from his pocket, and said to me: "Before drawing the talisman, you must memorize the appearance of the talisman, and when you draw the talisman, you must have no distractions in your mind, and the whole process of drawing the talisman must be completed in one go, and you must recite the mantra silently in your heart. A piece of paper and a step into the underworld. After drawing the talisman, the size of the talisman can be judged according to the intensity of the light it emits. After speaking, the master took a brush dipped in cinnabar, and began to draw a talisman against the yellow paper, and after two seconds, the yellow talisman emitted a dazzling light.

After finishing the painting, the master spoke again: "Your talent is good, and your comprehension of Taoism is not bad, you take this talisman back, study it slowly, and come to me when you master it." “

I took the talisman that Master handed me and asked, "Can I find you at night when I go to bed?" ”

Master stood up and said, "No, if you want to enter the Three Clears Void Mirror, you just need to close your eyes when your heart is pure, and silently chant 'One person, one Shangqing, one heart and one Kunlun.' That's it. But you'd better be in a place where no one is around, otherwise you'll be woken up and you'll go back. ”

I nodded, and then I woke up, refreshed again, but still exhausted. After looking at the time, this time it was six o'clock, and the dare to love the three clear void mirrors came according to our school's schedule. I washed up and got dressed, put the bedside talisman in my pocket and went to class.

I don't have the materials to draw the talismans, and even if I had, I wouldn't dare to take them out in class, because then people would think I was crazy. When I got to the class, I sat down in my seat, took out the talisman in my pocket, and looked at it carefully. Although I can't understand the content of this talisman, I can see its specific trend from the beginning to the end. I took out the pen and paper from the drawer and began to imitate it.

In this way, I drew a whole morning self-study, and at breakfast I went to the stationery store and bought a brush. I continued to study in class, and I had to make one thing clear, sometimes this is an advantage, but sometimes it will also make me suffer. The first class was English, and I seemed to have a special talent for pitch, so I learned phonetic transcription quite well, but I still didn't know anything about English grammar and the like. So when it came to English class, I still drew symbols on manuscript paper.

Drawing symbols requires concentration, so I didn't even notice that the English teacher had already walked next to me, and my position was in the corner of the penultimate row, which was supposed to be the teacher's nowhere to go, but probably because I didn't look up, the teacher was eyeing me. To be honest, although the teacher is good to us, there is no need for her to care about us who don't study, because it will delay other people's time and will not mean much to us. I didn't notice it at the time, I dipped the brush in ink, and was about to practice again, when I touched the kiln next to the pen as soon as I picked up the pen, and my hand drew a stroke to the left, and the talisman was useless. I was about to turn my head and scold him, but when I looked up, I found that the English teacher was looking at me angrily, so I hurriedly put away my pen and opened the English book. The English teacher didn't eat this, she pulled out the manuscript paper I pressed under the book with her hand, picked it up and looked at it for a while, and said, "What are you drawing?" ”

I hurriedly said, "Teacher, don't you know, my culture class is not very good, my family is going to let me walk in art, I am practicing painting!" ”

The English teacher threw the manuscript paper to me and said, "If you don't listen to the lecture well, it's useless to learn to draw, although I don't want to hit you, but what are you drawing?" ”

I put away the paper and said, "It's all art." ”

The English teacher said to me with a disdainful face, "Okay, then you can go out and study your art!" ”

After that, I stood outside the window with the manuscript paper, but it was quiet, at least not to worry about the practice.

In this way, I practiced for a whole day, and I had just finished drawing a character during the evening self-study, when suddenly I saw a faint light flashing on the manuscript paper. It's certainly not an illusion, and it's tiring to practice all day, but my attention is very focused when I draw the symbols. Just in case, I picked up another piece of manuscript paper, recited a mantra in my heart, and drew the whole talisman in one stroke. As I expected, there was a faint glow on the paper. I'm a little excited, and it seems that I've already mastered the art of drawing talismans. After practicing a few more times, a bold idea popped into my head.

I had forgotten that I was studying for self-study now, so I picked up the talisman I had just drawn, pasted it on my head, and shouted, "Hurry as a law!" Facts have confirmed the saying - people can be proud, but they can't get carried away. After I excitedly shouted the urgent command, the eyes of the class were fixed on me. Sister, if there is a crack in the ground now, I really want to get into it. I'm like a fool now, sitting in my seat with a piece of manuscript paper on my head. After a few seconds, the class burst into laughter. The kiln on the side laughed so much that tears came out, and he said to me: "Viagra, what kind of style are you smoking?" ”

Coincidentally, the director of the Political and Educational Office happened to come to inspect the class.
