When it comes to "star picking", many friends will think that it is a fantasy novel, or a "character skill" in some unreal online dramas. However, what most of you don't know is that "Star Picking" is a kind of Taoist magic that really exists in real life, although the "technique" is called "Star Picking", it is actually not able to really "pick stars", but a kind of "forbidden art". Today, Poor Dao will take you to appreciate the dusty story with a personal experience of "the altar".

It was an early summer morning four years ago, and Poor Dao was in the Xuantong Pavilion as usual, drinking tea and chatting about leisure after morning class. At this moment, a sharp knock on the door broke the rare silence. When the apprentice opened the door, a middle-aged woman walked in outside, but she saw this letter girl, who was about 1.75 meters tall on the flat top, thin and tall, with a thin waist, looking at her face, a pair of piercing eyes, high nose bridge, high cheekbones, pointed down, and dry spirit. Looking back, he was followed by two good men, both about thirty years old, with black suits, black ties, white shirts, black pants, black leather shoes, black sunglasses on his face, no smile could be seen coldly, and there was a thick evil aura all over his body.

The apprentice didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly let him into the middle hall, and then sat down to watch the tea. This letter girl introduced herself to the door, saying that she was the wife of a consortium boss in H Province, and this time she came to the Xuantong Pavilion of the poor road to ask for something, and as for being able to find the poor road, she was naturally recommended by a Taoist friend. As for the things that are asked, it is like this:

It turned out that this benevolent surname was Jin (hereinafter referred to as "Ms. Jin"), and she and her husband Mr. Wei did not consider the issue of heirs in their early years because they were too busy to start a business. It is not until people reach middle age and want to have children that they know that they cannot have children. After a painful choice, the couple resolutely decided to donate all their wealth to the orphanage, except for a small part to support the family, and adopted a little boy in the orphanage.

Time flies, it is more than ten years in a flash, the little boy at the beginning is now a handsome young man, but Ms. Jin and Mr. Wei can't stand the years and are aging day by day. Now, the husband and wife only hope that their righteous son can find the ancestral grave, so that "Xiao Wei" can know where his real home is. Because the orphanage no longer exists, and the original "aunt" is now ancient, so I thought of relying on the Xuanmen spell to help "Xiao Wei" find his roots.

After Poor Dao learned the whole story, he was deeply moved by the benevolence of Ms. Jin and Mr. Wei, and hoped to do what he could learn to help them do something. However, if such a thing really wants to be resolved according to the Dao Law, it is not an easy matter. Poor Dao knows that the key to this matter lies in two points, first, to obtain the approximate birth location of "Xiao Wei" through some means, and second, to calculate the specific birth direction of "Xiao Wei" according to the "Taiyi Number Reverse Deduction Method" after knowing the location of his birth.

Among them, for the "Taiyi Number", the teacher taught him back then, and the poor Tao also studied seriously, and he has never made a mistake in the Tao for more than ten years, and he still has a bottom in his heart, but he does not dare to say anything about "calculating the approximate birth location of 'Xiao Wei'". Ms. Jin thought that it was Poor Dao who wanted to ask for a high price, so she bluntly said that it didn't matter how much money she needed, as long as she could get things done. Poor Dao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then figured out the joints, in order to prevent misunderstanding, so he said: "You misunderstood, Poor Dao is not thinking about Fajin now, but thinking about how to do things." At present, there are no clues about the 'Xiao Wei' recipe, there are only three ways to find, the first is the 'method of passing through the yin', the so-called 'passing the yin' is to go to the underworld to ask the king of the underworld, not to mention whether the king of the underworld can help check the book of life and death or the stone of life, that is, to check it, the poor road is guilty of trespassing into the underworld, and when the time comes, it will be light if you can't come back; Yang Shen's flying for thirty-three days to ask the patriarch, however, don't say the poor Tao, the Tao is in this world with this kind of cultivation of Taoist friends will also be extremely difficult to find; the third is the "star picking technique", to practice in the wilderness at a special time, according to the 'cloud sky week' set up twenty-eight arrays, and then at the same time open the door of heaven and earth, apply the method of finding relatives with blood, and then spell down the natal star lamp, with a secret spell to practice, so that it will go to the natal star area. However, this 'Star Picking Technique' poor Dao has only listened to the teacher's practice, and has not practiced it, and at the same time, this technique is a 'forbidden technique' of the Xuanmen, so I dare not say anything. ”

After listening to the poor road, Ms. Jin sighed, and then begged for everything. The poor road can't stand the good faith and persuasion; The second was indeed moved by Ms. Jin's sincerity; The three themselves are also eager to try the "star picking technique". So Ms. Jin went to the patriarch's altar to ask the "Dharma hexagram" to ask the patriarch, clinker, but the Dharma hexagram in front of the altar descended a bad omen. Therefore, the poor road wanted to refuse, but it was a soft grinding and hard bubble, so he chose an auspicious time to ask the "law hexagram", back and forth three times, and the "law hexagram" began to produce a "winning cup". So, Poor Dao told Ms. Jin that the matter was over, and calculated the auspicious day and auspicious time of the altar, and at the same time sent his lover Weikong to follow Ms. Jin to buy the required table.

After sending Ms. Jin away, Poor Dao let out a breath of turbidity, and Wei Heng, a disciple on the side, persuaded: "Master, since the 'Dharma Hexagram' has passed, there shouldn't be anything right, as long as we are careful." Besides, this thing is not a 'murder'... ”

Poor Dao heard the section of "Murder Branch", and suddenly thought, after all, what is done is the "forbidden art" will not change in the process of the altar, so the left hand took out the "silver out", the right hand put in thirteen copper coins, and then the book "Heaven and Earth, Natal Talisman" each one, while burning the spell into the exhaustion, to be cremated, the left hand pinched out the "Three Mountains Jue" to hold out, the right hand pinched out the "Wuyue Seal" to cover the mouth, while shaking the secret mantra, when the spell is finished, the copper coin and the charm ash are scattered in front of the altar. When the dust settles, when I look at his hexagram, it is the image of "no pole Tailai", and my heart is inevitably faint.

Wei Heng was already stunned at this time, and he didn't know what Poor Dao was doing, so he asked. Poor Dao told the apprentice that this was the "King Wen Tiangua", and then taught the apprentice, leaving it alone for the time being.

When the auspicious day arrived, Poor Dao took Weikong, Weiheng, and Weihe to the established "place to build an altar" (a high-end villa community in the northern suburbs of L City) in the car arranged by Ms. Jin. When the departure is the wind and the sun is beautiful, the clear sky, the more north the more cloudy, the sun to the west, it is even more miserable, obviously in the middle of summer, the temperature is lower than the mid-autumn.

In the car, Poor Road went through the order of the altar in his mind over and over again, for fear of missing any detail. Wei Heng and Wei He were snoring, the other was playing with their mobile phones, and they saw that Weikong was also constricting their eyes and thinking about something, so they said to Weikong: "Don't think too much, as long as you can remember the order of turning on the lights and stars for a while, don't make mistakes, it's fine." You must remember to order three Jiuyao first, and then be... ”

Weikong listened, and said disapprovingly, "Master, don't worry, you have explained this countless times, and I am also ripe, I will never be wrong, I don't believe that I will count it with you, the first one... So, Weikong repeated it again, what star was used to light what star, where the first star was located, and how it was cloudy.

Listening to the apprentice's retelling, the tense nerves of the poor Dao suddenly relaxed a lot. I didn't think too much about it, I opened the window, blew the strong wind, lit a cigarette, and smoked it in a big gulp...

After arriving at the altar, I learned that this is a top villa community built in the mid-90s, although it is luxurious, but the walls of the villa have long been crawled with green moss, mixed with rusty iron railings emitting a bad smell. The altar was built in the garden between the two villas, three feet three inches above the ground, and had been completely furnished according to the requirements. When we arrived, the sky was already dark, and the sky was dark like iron, so thick that people couldn't breathe, and there was a great momentum of "black clouds crushing the city and wanting to destroy it". I saw that the villas in the distance had flashed sporadic lights, and only the two villas on the left and right of the mandala were still so dark that people panicked. So, Weihe asked Ms. Jin stupidly, and Ms. Jin replied: "These two villas were originally owned by two executives under our group, but a few years ago, I don't know why, these two executives suddenly died of a heart attack at the same time, and the two villas were vacant, and later it was said that the villas were haunted, so they were not sold to the outside world." Now, if you think about it, it's empty and there are few people. I think you shouldn't be afraid of ghosts, so it's arranged here, don't you object? ”

After listening to it, Weihe trembled all over, turned his head to look at Poor Dao, and had a sad expression on his face, although he was extremely unhappy in his heart, but after all, he pressed it down, spit out a cigarette, patted Weihe's shoulder, and said, "If you come, you will be safe." ”

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was auspicious, and Poor Dao looked at his watch and asked all the irrelevant people to withdraw from the community, leaving only Ms. Jin and the two relatives and the apprentices of Poor Dao present. At this time, Poor Dao said to Weikong, "Drum and open the altar", then changed into a descending clothes, and moved to the altar with Zhao Jian in his arms. Just when I was about to twist the incense, suddenly, the drum sound became amazingly loud, and it felt as if the whole world was quiet, and I felt that every drum sound would calm my heart and spleen, and my internal organs would tremble with it. So Poor Dao took a suspicious look at the void in charge of "drumming", and Weikong was looking at the sky with a blank face, Poor Dao was stunned for a moment, and also looked up at the sky, but he saw that the sky that was still mixed with black and black didn't know when it actually turned a bewitching red, and one after another thunderbolts exploded directly above the altar. The thunder that day was very low, and it felt like it was at the height of "three inches above the head", and at the same time, it was also that day that Poor Dao finally knew how majestic the thunder's killing qi was.

Sigh to sigh, since the altar is opened, then the dojo must be done. So Poor Dao stabilized his mind, and cursed the "Twenty-Eight Staycations" around the altar one by one and pasted them on the small bamboo poles that had been set up a long time ago. And let the micro-joint take over the drumming, so that the micro-space began to light the star lantern according to the prior explanation...

In itself, the order of "lighting the star lantern" has been memorized backwards, and the poor road has already written all the "star secrets" to be used on the rune paper, and only needs to be in the order of the prior explanation, igniting the "star shadows" and then incantating them into the star lanterns to be considered perfect. But I don't know why, when I turned around and came to the star lord after the poor Dao laid out the array talisman, I actually found that the order of "lighting the star lantern" in the micro sky was actually wrong, and it was not only wrong, but it was exactly the opposite. So, in a big rage, he stopped the altar, admonished him for a while, and arranged for the altar to be reopened.

On the altar again, when it comes to "lighting the star lantern", the order is still wrong, not only is it wrong, but the micro sky will actually record the order of "three canopies" and "Nandou Leaving the Star". As a result, the poor Dao instantly "anger rises from the heart, and evil grows to the side of the gall", roared again, and once again ordered the altar to be reopened. But at this moment, suddenly a thunderbolt came to mind, Poor Dao instantly felt, his ears were buzzing, his eyes were blank, his body staggered for a while, and his right hand grabbed the table before he could stand, instantly forgetting where he was, and there was a dreamlike feeling. After a moment of shock, he regained his senses, and without thinking too much, he continued to arrange for the altar to be opened.

The third time the altar was opened, when it was time to "light the star lantern", the micro sky was still wrong, but this time it was even more outrageous, and it was actually using "sandalwood strips" as a lighter to "light the fire". When Poor Dao saw it, he was happy, and when he was about to have a seizure again, he suddenly thought of something. Hurriedly looked at the door of the micro-emptiness, only to see that a black gas was entwined in the micro-void seal hall, which lasted for a long time, and instantly understood that the fault was not in the micro-emptiness, but in the poor road. As a human teacher, his apprentice was fascinated by filth in front of the altar, and his mind didn't know, it seemed that he really should kneel to incense.

The fourth time the altar was opened, to the section of "lighting the star lamp", the micro space swayed and wanted to "light the lamp", the poor road did not say a word, the left hand quickly pinched the "golden light trick", and quickly pinched out the "cross golden light trick" dipped the finger in the water, pointed straight to the center of the micro empty eyebrows, only to feel that the micro empty body trembled, and then looked at the poor road with a blank face. At that time, Poor Dao waved his right hand slightly, signaling for the three of them to leave the altar, and Poor Dao would complete everything by himself. The next progress was very fast, and lighting dozens of star lanterns was still very easy for Poor Dao, just at the moment when it was about to be completed. Suddenly, I heard a loud roar from behind me, "Master, be careful!" Immediately after that, the poor road staggered, and saw a black wind blowing towards the main altar from the "Fangsu" of the Eastern Seven Houses. When the poor Dao saw it, he was shocked, thinking that the official "dragon's belly" of the "house" was one of the two most dangerous nights in the seven houses in the East. The demon wind protrudes in the direction of this house, there must be a big demon disturbing the altar, once you can see it, after this black wind blows, the star lamp of the "house" has been extinguished. The "Antares" star lantern next to it is also dim. Thinking that the "Antares" is also a murderous star, if the "Antares" lights out, it will be difficult for this altar to die well. Therefore, before thinking carefully, the left hand pinched out the "jade text" and hurriedly cursed the "Yuan Shi Yuwen" in his heart, and at the same time the front teeth bit the tip of the tongue, and instantly a fishy, sweet and slightly viscous liquid poured into the mouth of the poor road, accompanied by the sharp pain of the tip of the tongue, when the blood at the tip of the tongue entered, it was fixed in the mouth, with the tip of the tongue pillar on the palate, and the palate on the palate to curse it. Then, the blood in his mouth and the trick in his hand were hit at the black wind, and the black wind rushed out of the altar desperately, and at the same time, the thunder in the sky fought like dumplings. After a cup of tea, I heard a terrible bird chirping outside, and the thunder could not be stopped. This was followed by raindrops larger than soybean grains.

When the altar was finished, Poor Dao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that everything would go smoothly next, when the unexpected thing appeared again:

At the last step of the altar, it is necessary to ascend the "Star Lantern (a Kong Ming Lantern)" full of talismans written with the essence blood of "Xiao Wei" into the heavens, so that it can go towards the natal star position in order to successfully complete the task. However, I don't know if it's a real coincidence, or if the "forbidden art" is indeed the "forbidden art", and every time the "star lantern" rises in the poor road, it will soon be knocked down by the rain. Later, Poor Dao thought that it was due to the weather, so he held a pen in his right hand, bit the middle finger of his left hand with his front teeth, and wrote the "natal talisman" with his own essence and blood and slapped it on a star lantern to make it rise into the sky. Watching the star lantern slowly rise, Poor Dao felt a little relieved, thinking that everything would end here. Clinker, at the moment when the star lantern rose into the sky, a bolt of lightning steadily split the star lantern into a raging fireball, and then quickly extinguished and fell to the ground with the rain. Immediately afterwards, Poor Dao only felt a sweetness in his throat, and wanted to come out of his mouth, but was forcibly swallowed by Poor Dao.

At this time, Ms. Jin walked to the altar and said to the poor Dao, "Dao Chief, forget it, I don't think it's easy for you, it seems that this is the destiny of heaven." Accept it, don't continue, there is only one star lantern left. ”

Poor Dao listened, didn't speak, looked up at the sky, and then resolutely walked into the rainstorm, stepped on the "Ziweigang", pinched out the "Xuandi Jue" with his left hand, pinched out the "Divine Formula" with his right hand, and chanted loudly in his mouth, "Yang Qi Xuantian Great Sage, descend to the spirit god... He silently recited the "Urgent Invitation Mantra" in his heart, and then stepped out of the "Sancaigang" and bowed down to the main altar, and at the same time his hands formed the "positive and reverse heavenly seals" as quickly as possible, and clicked into the "Lingtai" at the fastest speed.

At this time, I suddenly felt that everything around me seemed to no longer exist. It is like being in a wonderful space, where Poor Dao can know that he is still alive, but he does not know where his body is, and all his divine consciousness is in his "spiritual platform". It's like watching a movie, I know my body is moving, but I can't control my body. At the same time, I only felt a blazing heat falling from the sky, pouring from the top of my head, and the inside of my body was first a vertical line, and then all the meridians and veins, which felt like a fire was burning, more like taking a bath in burning water. At this time, Poor Dao suddenly understood that this may be the success of the "change of god" that the predecessors said. But at the same time as I had this thought, I suddenly felt that my consciousness was blank, "Okay, it seems that people don't like me thinking about this." Poor Dao thought to himself.

Then, the Poor Dao's Divine Consciousness watched as his body quickly spelled the last star lantern and lifted it into the air. But see, the star lantern went against the storm, dodged the lightning and thunder, and rose straight into the clouds in the direction of a star district.

At this moment, Poor Dao suddenly felt a burst of strength, only to feel that his limbs and bones had lost support in an instant, and then he felt a pain all over his body and tiredness that he didn't want to say a word.

When the dojo was over, and when the apprentices were packing up the magic weapons, Weihe suddenly said to Weiheng, "Huh? Brother, why do today's offerings have a strange smell? ”

Wei Heng replied, "Huh? Yes, brother, I think it smells like carrot juice. ”

"Uh-huh," Weihe continued, "it does smell like carrots, and I don't know how this fruit grows." ”

Poor Dao heard this, turned around silently, and two lines of hot tears flowed down his cheeks unconsciously
