This story is about the Taoist nine-character mantra.

……

At that time, I was in the sixth grade, and during the summer vacation, I was playing with Xiaohui and a few children from our village on a mound of sand outside the village.

The sand mound mentioned here cannot be said to be a pile, and it should be more appropriate to express it with a post.

Where did I pass when I went back to my hometown this year, but now it's about 20 meters high.

No one can tell exactly when this sand mound originated, but according to the village elders, the mounds were not so tall before.

They will grow on their own, and I will explain here that the general culture of rural people in the past was not too high.

In fact, it cannot be said that these mounds will grow on their own, after the development of the times in recent years, there will be some college students in each village, who are knowledgeable and educated.

I don't know who gave the explanation that there were indeed some small mounds here, but they weren't too big.

Because the land there is rich in sand, and the roads and the fields are all soft and soft sand, and when the wind blows, the sand blows through the mounds, and when it passes over the mounds, it is blocked by the raised mounds, and it accumulates day after day.

Slowly, the mound of dirt is getting bigger and bigger, and it doesn't grow on its own.

Everyone also thinks that there is some truth to this explanation, believe it or not, anyway, I haven't seen anything strange about these mounds for so many years, so I don't care much.

These sand mounds are places where we often come to play.

On this day, each of us had a shovel in our hands, and each of us dug his own "throne" in one place.

The surface layer is soft and soft dry sandy soil, which can not be fixed, but digging a little deeper is wet soil, which can be piled up or dug out in various shapes.

Several of us are still digging very hard, and we all want to dig our thrones more atmospheric and "grandiose".

Maybe it's a few of us getting too close, or maybe it's because we're digging close to the edge.

Just as we were digging hard, there was a "bang" in a few places where we were standing, and the whole piece of sand collapsed.

This kind of collapse does not mean the kind of collapse that sinks below and smashes on top.

It's just a large patch of sand tumbling down in heaps to the side.

Although it collapsed a large piece, because it was a rollover, a few of us just fell and then fell down, except for the dirt, there were no other problems.

We stood up in fear for a while, and at the same time found that our shovel was gone.

I found my door in this collapsed mound.

After some exploration, we finally found two of them, and we used them again to continue digging through the earth.

I felt tired after turning over for a while, so I stuck the shovel in the soil and wanted to rest.

I didn't expect a "Z" sound, inserted into something, a very harsh sound.

At the time I thought I had stuck in another shovel.

I quickly picked up the mound and found that it was a stone the size of a fist.

It was almost covered in wet sand, but a shovel just shoveled off some of the dirt, revealing the stones inside, as if something was written on it.

I picked it up and cleaned the dirt from it, and I could see that there were some words written on it that I didn't recognize.

Although I was only in elementary school at the time, I was pretty sure that the characters above were not modern characters, or even modern fonts.

But I can see the patterns clearly, they are handprints.

At the time, I was skeptical that it was some kind of antique or something, it looked like a good thing, and I wanted to go home and show it to my family, so I put it away.

After a while, we found a few shovels and nothing else, so we got up and went home.

……

When my mom saw me when I got home, I felt as if a fire was burning at the touch of a fire.

"Where to play! Look at you, get so dirty! Wash yourself"

Seeing that he was so angry, I ran into the house.

"Let's change my clothes first!" She roared in the back.

When I got inside, I took off my clothes, and my mom came over and took me a new one from the closet and threw it to me.

She picked up my changed clothes and walked out into the yard to shake off the dirt.

She probably sensed something in her pocket and reached into my pocket and touched it.

The stone in her pocket was taken out by my mother, and she stared at it for a long time.

When she came back to her senses, she asked me, "Where did you get this?" ”

"Pick it up," I buttoned the button and told her about the experience of picking up the stone today.

After listening to me, my mother asked me:

"Do you want to know what's written on it?"

"What was written?" I couldn't wait to ask.

……

After listening to my mother's explanation to me, I knew that it was written: Those who are fighting in the army are all facing nine words in array.

My mother said that these nine words are the Taoist nine-character mantra, also known as the Liujia secret blessing, and each word corresponds to a gesture, that is, the seal in the TV series.

If you recite it often, it will have the effect of driving away evil spirits and avoiding evil, and if you use the corresponding gesture seal, the effect will be even better.

When boys were young, they had a dream of martial arts, fantasizing about fighting the sword world and killing demons.

So in those days, I basically learned the mudras in the patterns on the stones as soon as I had time, and at the same time fantasized about how good I would be in the future.

My mother is already surprised, maybe, and she doesn't care about me, which means that no matter how I practice, I can't escape her palm anyway.

After a few days, I became familiar with those mudras, and I was able to produce a complete seal in one go.

But I've also practiced some doorways in the past few days.

Because as a set of mudras comes out, the rhythm of my breathing changes with my movements.

For example, when standing, sitting or lying down, your breathing will be normal and steady.

But if you throw a few quick punches, your breath will naturally change with your movements and strength.

Every time I smoothly produce a set of nine-character prints, I will feel a little more comfortable in my muscles and bones, and my mind will be clearer, which is similar to the feeling that the air is suddenly fresh.

I was going to talk to my mom about it, but the nine-year compulsory education told me that there are no gods or immortals in this world.

So as a successor to the motherland, go and say to my mother, "I've practiced immortal qi?" I'm going to become an immortal in the near future? ”

I guess my mom will take me straight to the hospital.

So I didn't say anything about it, because I don't think there's anything to be surprised about, it's just that it can refresh your mind, there's no need to make a fuss, and it's actually not as good as a mint slice.

However, I still make a few sets of prints when I have free time.

Later, it slowly became a habit, every day after getting up, the knot overprint was sober and sober, and when I was bored, I breathed a few times according to that breathing rhythm.

After many years, I don't think anything has changed in me, how I have a fever, how I have a cold, how I have a cold.

But if there is anything different from others, that is, from then on, I basically do not leave scars on my body, and there are basically no scars after minor injuries heal.

After the major injury heals, the scar will also disappear within a few months.

I know very well that I wasn't scar-free before, so I'll give credit to that set for now.
