For Chu Liuyan's rune technique, I once consulted him.

At that time, in Wushan Hall, Chu Liuyan also deliberately let me get started, and told me a lot about the principles and principles of rune arts, or spell arts.

It's just a pity that the time last time was too rushed, and I was in a hurry at the time, so I didn't have time to listen carefully, I didn't have time to figure it out, and I didn't have the heart to practice. In the end, I only hurriedly learned the rough drawing method of shaking the ghost charm and left.

This time, Fat Dahai and I came prepared, and Chu Liuyan told us in detail about the rune techniques he had learned.

Chu Liuyan told us that in the eyes of some practitioners such as Taoist priests or rune masters, talisman is a secret magic weapon to communicate between people and ghosts or gods, so it is not something that can be scribbled casually. If you know how to draw a talisman, you will be shocked by the ghosts and gods". And there are hundreds of ways to draw talismans, and the methods of drawing talismans in each school in the Xuanmen are also different. Some want to pinch the trick and ask the god to come with the pen, and some want to step on the gang, chant mantras, and so on......

A little more detailed, that is, in the laying of paper and ink, the use of brushes, drawing symbols and other aspects are particular. But the person who draws the talisman doesn't have to pay too much attention to these, let alone refine them one by one, as long as he masters one of the methods and is proficient.

First of all, there must be a certain procedure for drawing symbols, and it must not be simple and the order is reversed. Normally, an altar must be set up for the painting of symbols, and there is a so-called "general altar style". The general mantra in the general altar style is written with the gods that Taoist priests usually believe in - the land, the city god, the four emperors of the four directions, and so on. If the conditions do not allow the altar to be set up, the person who draws the talisman must also have an altar in his heart, and before drawing the talisman, he must first purify his heart, and he must concentrate on it, be sincere, clear his distracting thoughts, and concentrate his thoughts. Before drawing the talisman, it is necessary to offer incense and bow down, bless the gods of heaven and earth, and express the main prayer. After the congratulations, take out the paper, ink or cinnabar, sit upright, think about luck, and draw the talisman in one go, without any interruption in between. When drawing a talisman, blow into the talisman and gently recite the mantra with your mouth while drawing.

In addition, the left hand that does not hold the pen must be used to make calligraphy and mudras. The more common ones are the day of the king, the moon of the moon, the day of the gang and other gestures. Each type of mantra and mudra has a different way of knotting and a different meaning. For example, the purpose of using the Sun and Moon Monarch is said to be to take the true qi of the sun and the moon, to draw qi into the talisman, to use the gods to help, to drive away evil spirits and ghosts, and to increase the spirituality of the talisman. The purpose of using the Heavenly Gang is also to use this fingering to command the ghosts and gods, and to use the Heavenly Gang to take the outline qi and introduce it into the talisman when drawing the talisman.

After drawing the talisman, the tip of the pen is facing up, the tip of the pen is facing down, the energy of the whole body is concentrated on the tip of the pen, hitting the rune paper three times with the tip of the pen, and then pointing to the talisman with the vajra sword, the fingers are forceful, showing a sense of majesty that the divine power has been attached to the talisman, and finally the rune paper that has been drawn, lifted to bypass the smoke of the furnace three times, and so on, the talisman drawing ceremony is completed.

Chu Liuyan kept telling me and Fat Dahai about the process of drawing talismans, and the two of us listened very carefully and understood the meaning. However, I asked rhetorically: "Uncle Shi, the process of drawing talismans is more tedious than I imagined. But I see when you and my third uncle draw talismans, too

It's not so troublesome, it's almost easy to come by. ”

Chu Liuyan sneered: "You kid, you can see how easy it is for the two of us to draw talismans, do you know how much hard work we put into it at the beginning." When you first learn talismans, none of these steps are missing. When you can do whatever you want, with an altar in your heart, there will naturally be spiritual power in the pen, and then you will naturally not have to stick to these steps and forms. In short, this talisman is not a day's work, I have closed you off, and I am only taking you to the beginning. In the future, you have to practice diligently, otherwise you may not be able to achieve success in two months, two years, or twenty years. ”

I nodded, it seems that all the principles in the world are the same, and there is no shortcut to success.

Next, Chu Liuyan introduced us to the materials to be used in the drawing, and the drawings must be made of ink or cinnabar, especially cinnabar. The reason why cinnabar is used more is that cinnabar has the effect of suppressing evil. The carriers of the symbols are also divided into many kinds according to their uses, especially yellow paper.

In addition to the ordinary yellow paper cinnabar talisman, if you want to strengthen the spiritual power of the talisman, you also need to use the blood talisman on the tip of the tongue. The blood charm on the tip of the tongue is different from cinnabar. It is because the talisman written in the blood on the tip of the tongue has a strong "town" effect. Because the tongue represents the heart, the heart is fire in the five elements, and the cinnabar used in the calligraphy is also close to fire, just like lighting a bonfire in the forest at night, and the wild beasts dare not approach the reason and "ward off evil".

Speaking of this, Chu Liuyan warned us: "The blood on the tip of the tongue is the blood of the heart, when you don't practice enough, you must not use it at will, otherwise it will hurt your vitality." ”

I nodded, and then asked, "Uncle." But when my third uncle and I broke down the murderous house, we often encountered some emergencies. In that case, it's too late to escape, and there's no time for me to grab the talisman paper and draw the talisman. ”

Chu Liuyan glanced at me helplessly: "If you don't have any chance, you know how to escape." I regret teaching you to draw talismans now, I'm afraid I'm going to discredit me for rune arts. ”

I smiled: "How can I uncle, I learned that naturally I don't have to run for my life." ”

Chu Liuyan hated iron a little, and continued to preach to us patiently: "If the drawing talisman reaches a certain realm, it can be painted in the void." You don't have to draw on any object, the key is to draw the symbols, so the action requirements are extremely complex and strict. The purpose of this sigil is not to be long-term defensive, but to require immediate effect in an emergency, so it is enough to draw it with only the air with your finger. ”

I nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, this is the best, uncle, you teach me this." ”

Chu Liuyan shook his head: "You kid, just worry about opportunism." Before you know how to walk, you have to run. Didn't I say that you have to reach a certain realm to draw a void talisman. You're still a long way from this realm. In addition, when it comes to the time of drawing symbols, you should remember that there are taboos. There are four days a year when you can't draw talismans, if you draw talismans on these four days, not only will it not work, but it will also be easy to be harmful to the body. These four days are the ninth day of the third month, the second day of the sixth month of the sixth month, the sixth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and the second day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar. Remember? ”

I read it silently with Fat Dahai and nodded to indicate that I remembered.

Chu Liuyan nodded and said: "The effect of drawing runes at the time of day is the best, because this is the time when the yang disappears and the yin and yang are long, and the aura is the heaviest. However, this also varies from person to person. What I said depends on your own understanding and figuration, in short, the art of drawing talismans is not a rigid principle, but also needs to be understood. What you can achieve depends entirely on your own cultivation and creation. ”
