Chapter 8: The Talisman
I was so cramped, Uncle Chen obviously didn't care, but patted me on the shoulder, gestured and said, "Eleven, let's go back to the shop first, don't worry, Xiaobao and I have already had breakfast." ”
I felt relieved and felt that Uncle Chen was really a real person, so I was not polite, nodded and took the lead to return to the shop and open the door.
Grandpa really didn't come back, and the furnishings in the hall were the same as before leaving, "Uncle Chen, you can sit casually, and I'll pour you some water." ”
"Well, Eleven, if there is anything that needs to be dealt with first, you can do it yourself, Hu Tianshi is the benefactor of my master, we are our own people, and we don't see anyone else." Uncle Chen took the man named Xiaobao and sat down on the bench next to the black-and-white television in the hall, which I used to sit on for dinner.
I thought about pouring a glass of boiling water for the two of them first, but I found that there was no boiling water today, and there was no overnight water, so I shouted helplessly outside: "Uncle Chen, I'm sorry, there is no boiling water at home, so I'll boil the water first, you help take a look, I'll go upstairs to tidy up something." ”
"It's okay, I'll help you watch the store, you can go upstairs and get busy." Uncle Chen's deep and powerful voice came.
I was bent on going upstairs to find the yellow book to see how to deal with the living corpses, so I simply let Uncle Chen look at the store and went upstairs alone.
I hid the yellow book under my pillow, and I immediately found it and flipped through it.
There is a lot of information in the book, and I read it carefully for a long time before I found information about living corpses in the monster chapter.
Dead but not stiff, like a living person, regarded as a living corpse. The corpse, the main soul control, the way to exorcise the corpse, lies in the soul control. The soul is fixed, the corpse is self-stiff, and the fire burns it, which can drive the soul away, so that its soul will fly away, and there will be no harm to the world.
"Soul fixing? Flame of the rune? Soul Fixing Talisman and Fire Talisman! Sure enough, all the primary spells need talismans. ”
I flipped through it and saw that the drawing of the soul fixing talisman was not complicated. The charms of the Daomen have been passed down from generation to generation. It represents the words of the command of the ghosts and gods, and the natural qi of heaven and earth. There are many variations. But a good talisman writing is very difficult, and it is very easy to destroy, tear left and right, or damage the texture will immediately fail, of course, this action is also to bear the cause and effect, must not end like this.
Most of the spells are valid for a short period of time, basically about a year, of course, some special spells can be valid for a long time or permanently, so I won't mention it here.
In the yellow book of drawing talismans, the grandfather wrote: I don't know, but the ghosts and gods can know, and the pen is not bad, and the ghosts and gods will be summoned. Can't be disobeyed, so those who learn calligraphy should study the order of their pens. However, the stroke of the rune record, complex and abnormal, non-Taoist people, it is not easy to get its clue for a while, so this book is special after each symbol, the rise and fall of its stroke, detailed notes. The opportunity to open the mystery of the talisman is to reveal the secret that will not be passed down through the ages. To get this compilation, it is tantamount to receiving Taoism in Taiqing.
"Fortunately, this kind of talisman is only relatively low-level, and it doesn't need to be driven by Gang Qi to use it, so let's get a few of them first."
I ran a few steps to my grandfather's room, and most of his room was stocked up on coffin shops, including yellow paper, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
After finding a small square table, I cut the yellow paper into the shape of a charm, then pressed it back and forth with a ruler in the center of the square table, lifted the brush and dipped it in ink and began to draw a gourd.
My calligraphy skills are excellent, and I can say that I am far ahead of my peers. Usually the couplets in the shop are written by me, but my grandfather taught me to write a good handful of words since I was a child, and now I think about it, whether it is to prepare for the drawing of symbols is not sure.
The single-mindedness made my first few talismans not perfect, and there was no special aura emanating from the talisman after closing the pen.
This is also written in the Yellow Book, unused talismans can sense the spiritual power fluctuations on them through the Gang Qi, and if they can't perceive it, the talisman has become invalid or damaged.
Although my Gang Qi is weak, I can still tell if there is spiritual power on the talisman.
With a sigh, I had no choice but to continue studying.
……
One morning really made me a lot of talismans, including two soul fixing talismans, two earth fire talismans, and other simple talismans. Anyway, these talismans are relatively easy to draw, so I drew them all. In addition, in order to deal with what Uncle Chen said in the afternoon, I also learned a simple exorcism and the spell of the soul, but unfortunately those things are obscure, and most of them need a certain amount of yin virtue to drive the gods to protect and bless the body, and in the end I only learned the simplest palm thunder, which is used in case of emergency.
The time to concentrate on studying passed quickly, and I didn't realize that it was 12 o'clock at noon until the second girl came to me for lunch.
Erniu ignored Uncle Chen, who was still sitting as steady as Mount Tai in the hall, and ran upstairs directly.
"Eleven, what are you doing with all this fanfare? Have any customers placed an order? "When the second girl saw what I was drawing on the yellow paper, she thought she was writing a couplet again, which was no surprise to her.
"I haven't had any guests here today, it's already 12 o'clock, no wonder I feel so hungry. Erniu, let's go, let's eat. Hey, by the way, this one is for you. I took out Nokia and looked at the time, and after patting my forehead, I was about to get up and go down to eat, and then I remembered what I had specially prepared for the second girl, and hurriedly turned around and rummaged through the talismans neatly placed on the table.
The second girl looked at me with some curiosity and handed over the things after rummaging, a piece of yellow paper with strange patterns drawn, "Eleven, what the hell are you doing, this is a talisman?" ”
"Well, this is a requiem, you wear it on your body and put it close to your body, so that Aunt Zhu's yin qi will not affect you too much. I already have a way to deal with Aunt Zhu, and when I help Uncle Chen solve that matter, I will help Aunt Zhu again. ”
"Oh, so can this requiem be folded? Is it so big that you still have to put it close to your body? The second girl glanced at herself up and down, the upper half of her body was a white shirt, so there was a pocket, and the lower half of her denim shorts had four pockets.
I thought carefully about what was written in the Yellow Book.
Taoist talismans are divided into ways to wear, drink, paste, hang and other uses.
The talisman worn with you must be folded into a triangle. The triangle is yang. The quadrilateral is yin. Characters, except for triangles, cannot be folded into quadrilaterals or other shapes.
When wearing, you can put the talisman in a special talisman bag, talisman box, or other utensils that can hold talismans, and wear it as a necklace around your neck. This is the best way to wear it. Or it fits in the jacket pocket.
Wallets, bags, can be fitted. The cover of the ID card can also be fitted. It can be placed in the case with the ID card. It can also be packed inside a phone case.
In addition, women during the menstrual period should not touch it, and the talisman should not be worn below the waist, should not touch water, and should not touch filth.
I'll tell Erniu about these taboos.
"So much exquisiteness, then stuff it in the phone case, anyway, my phone has been hanging around my neck." The second girl raised her Nokia, and in a few clicks, she folded the requiem I gave him into a triangle and stuffed it into the phone case.
