Chapter 14: "Hell Learning"

"Okay, let's all go back and rest, and start teaching Zhang Qiang well tomorrow morning with Xuanqing and Xuanxu. The chief of the road stood up and waved his hand.

"Uncle Shi walks slowly. Xuanqing and Xuanxu said together.

"Then I'll go back first, and when my nephew is free, I can come to Wudang Jinding or Yuxu Palace, maybe there will be a little surprise." Haha," Xuan Guang said to Zhang Qiang with a smile.

"Thank you Uncle for your love, the disciple will definitely visit the two uncles when he has time. Zhang Qiang replied respectfully.

When the chief of the province and the others can return to the mountain, it will be too late.

"Senior brother, for my brother I have something to do these days, so you can teach Zhang Qiang first. Xuanqing stroked his beard and said to Xuanxu.

"Senior brother, don't worry, junior brother, I still have a hand in teaching junior disciples, you have seen it. Xuan Xuan said with a smile.

"Haha, that's, that's, then there's Senior Brother Lao. Xuan Qing said with a smile.

At this time, Zhang Qiang, no matter how he thought about it, felt a little "sold", and there was a chill on his body for no reason

Okay, boy, hurry up and go to bed, at the beginning of the morning, that is, at 7 o'clock in the morning, I will wait for you outside the cave in the back mountain.

"Yes, the disciple obeys. Zhang Qiang said respectfully.

On the morning of July, a round of red sun is rising, and at this time, the clear and subtle hole is faintly shining. In addition, those chaotic stone forest formations outside the cave were all destroyed in the fight with the arrival of the demon immortals to ward off evil spirits a few days ago.

Along the way, looking at the soil caves of different depths outside the Qingwei Xuanmiao Cave, distributed around, chaotic and disorderly stones, Zhang Qiang shook his head and sighed: "This change is too fast, last time I came I stumbled past the stone henge and came to the stone cave." It doesn't take much effort to get to the hole. ”

"Boy, what time is it, the sun is almost setting, you just came. At the entrance of the cave, Xuan Xuan was shouting at Zhang Qiang at the entrance of the Stone Forest here.

Zhang Qiang walked to Xuanxu's side and was waiting to bow and see him. I heard Xuan Xuan shouting urgently: "Boy, before teaching you how to send talisman spells, you have to tell me first, how can I meet my idol 'Zhong Kui Heavenly Master'? Have you asked him for an autograph? Has Zhong Kui Heavenly Master left you any souvenirs, Uncle Shi, I can exchange things with you." "Or the next time Master Zhong Kui wants to see you, remember to call me. Hee-hee"

Seeing Uncle Xuanxuan showing a row of white teeth and grinning at him, Zhang Qiang's head was full of black lines, "This uncle is really, really different," Zhang Qiang sighed in his heart. Just about to speak: Uncle Shi, I"

"Don't tell me no, otherwise I'll settle some old accounts with you before me and you, for example, the first time at the foot of Wudang Mountain, your kid sent me away with a hundred yuan, and I didn't save me when I died, so I was chased by the shrew's men. If I hadn't been able to attack mortals casually, I would have taught that shrew a lesson. Xuanxu interjected with a roar.

"Also, how did you break the 'Anti-Five Elements Formation' that I sent my ancestor to in this Qing Subtle Cave, and you actually got the 'Qingwei Thunder Fire Sword' from your ancestor, just think about it, I'm angry. Think of me Xuanxuan, Tianzhong Genius, give me a little more time, I can break this formation, the ancestral master's spiritual inheritance and the 'Qingwei Thunder Fire Sword' should be what I obtained. Xuan Xuan continued to scream.

"Uncle Shi, stop, stop, your old man asks so many questions in one breath, which one should I answer?" Zhang Qiang said helplessly.

"From the moment you entered this clear and subtle cave, let's be honest. After Xuanxu finished speaking, he sat on the two large wooden boxes beside him.

Zhang Qiang had no choice but to tell him what happened in the cave, including how to go to the underworld, what he saw, the agreement with the judge, and then the judge asked Zhong Kui to send him back to the mountain, etc.

After Zhang Qiang finished speaking, Xuan Xuan jumped up and gave Zhang Qiang a chestnut in his head, ignoring Zhang Qiang's loud shouting, and said directly: "You kid, how can that luck be so good, I click, and I am angry." Then he suddenly stomped his feet angrily, "Master Zu, you are really, aren't I just a little worse." Why don't you let me pass, otherwise your spiritual thought inheritance and the Qingwei Thunder Fire Sword will not be mine. I didn't dare to break the formation again for thirty years, and I cheapened this dead boy. As he muttered, he began to finish speaking and looked at Zhang Qiang with disdain.

"Uncle Shi, no, I don't know that your old man is a master, you don't know that you are at the bottom of the mountain, I feel that you are different, but I am new to this place, I am afraid that there will be liars. Zhang Qiang smiled bitterly.

"I'll click, you can say it again, and then see if I don't beat you flat. Xuanxu said angrily, and then began to raise his hand to whisk the dust, and made a gesture to hit Zhang Qiang again.

Seeing this, Zhang Qiang hurriedly said, "Uncle Shi, didn't you just say that you can't just make a casual move on mortals?"

"You are my nephew, will you still be a mortal?" Xuan Xuan shook the dust and slapped Zhang Qiang again, and said with a smile.

"Uncle Shi, I'm here to learn talisman spells with you, I haven't learned it yet, you have such a big prejudice against your nephew, how do you let your nephew learn it?" Zhang Qiang said bitterly while holding his head.

"I can't stand this bit of suffering, and I still want to learn the talisman spell in less than five months, and also advance to the 'Jindan Great Perfection' of the Taoist Immortal Realm, you are a fool's dream. Xuanxu shouted. Raise the dust and fight again.

Seeing Xuanxu Fuchen raised, making a gesture and beating again, Zhang Qiang hurriedly begged: "Uncle forgive me, and my nephew knows that he is wrong." Next, Uncle Shi, you can train me as much as you want. ”

That's what you said, but it's been a while since I've used my 'hellish learning method' to teach juniors. Hehe," Xuan Xuan said with a wicked smile.

At this time, Zhang Qiang finally understood why he shivered twice in a row last night, and his body was cold for no reason

"Boy, listen, the first step of my hellish learning method is to exercise my body, and I run two laps back and forth around this Wutian Yizhenqing Palace and Wudang Golden Dome at the beginning of every day. Xuanxu said hehehe.

"I'm dizzy, uncle, these two places are dozens of miles apart, isn't this a matter of life?

Just as he was about to speak, Xuan Xuan interjected again and said: "In view of the fact that you have obtained the spirit body of Master Sanfeng to help you 'sort out and open up the meridians', you have to double, I think it will be four circles, boy, you will not be meaningful, right?" After speaking, he raised his hand to whisk the dust, and was about to fight.

Zhang Qiang was about to speak, and then he had to say "oops", hugged the head that was beaten again, and cried and laughed: "The disciple obeys the order." ”

"It's like saying, it's a little late today, so I'll teach you how to draw talismans first. Xuanxu stroked his beard.

"My nephew and nephew are arranged by my uncle. Zhang Qiang said helplessly.

"Next, I will teach you how to draw talismans and use them, you kid will listen carefully to me, eh, where to start first? Let me think about it?" Xuan Xuan said while scratching his head.

Zhang Qiang's head was full of black lines again, and he sighed helplessly: "No matter how you look at it, I feel that my uncle is not very reliable."

Just as he was sighing, he received another blow on his head. "Oh, uncle, what are you doing beating your nephew again?" Zhang Qiang said helplessly.

"Look at your expression, don't I just think about how to start teaching you the talisman? attitude, pay attention to the attitude to be correct, you know?" said the old god Xuanxu.

"Yes, my nephew is wrong. Zhang Qiang smiled bitterly.

"Well, let's start with the source of the charm. Xuanxu said.

"Charms originated from ancient witches. In the era of the Yellow Emperor, there was no distinction between blessings and curses, and the official positions set up by the Yellow Emperor were also called curses. The incantations in the talisman originated from the greetings of ancient sorcerers when they sacrificed to the gods. The first incantation was to tell the gods in words to punish the wicked and swear to the gods. ”

When drawing talismans, you have to recite mantras, and when you use talismans, there are also mantras, and there are certain mantras for all the dharmas. When praying, the mantra is a number of words to praise the gods and pray for the fulfillment of wishes; when healing, the mantra is to ask the magic to manifest and eliminate all diseases; when practicing, the mantra is mostly to calm the nerves, to clear the mind, and to ask the gods to help.

As the foundation of the five techniques of mountain (immortal), medicine, divination, life and physiognomy, the charm is the medium and channel for our cultivators to communicate with the heavens (spiritual world), through this channel, we can make the nine heavenly gods evil for our use, and serve the gods to exorcise ghosts to achieve the purpose of praying for blessings and disasters, dispelling diseases and saving people.

The charm is composed of five elements: "Fu Head", "Main God and Buddha", "Fu Belly", "Fu Foot", and "Fu Guts". If we use the talisman as a metaphor for a person, the talisman is like a person's head, the main god and Buddha are like a person's mind and heart, the talisman is like the stomach of an abdomen, which is the place where we write the mantra to function, the talisman foot is like a person's foot, the talisman is like a person's liver and gallbladder, if a talisman does not have a talisman gall, it is like the door is not locked, and bad people can enter it at will. Therefore, the talisman has a very important position for the talisman. ”

Xuan Xuan took a drawn talisman and said solemnly.

When he saw Zhang Qiangzheng's dazed and drowsy appearance, Xuanxu slapped him on the head again, and shouted: "Stinky boy, listen carefully." I don't want to talk about it a second time, when you don't learn well, when you seal the Demon Star 'Houqing', you will lose your life, but don't be a ghost and come back to me. ”

"Yes, my nephew must study hard. Zhang Qiang shook his head lightly and said helplessly.

"Okay, today I will focus on talking to you about talismans and talismans, and the rest will be explained to you" Xuanxu took the talisman and began to shake his head and said. This gives Zhang Qiang the feeling that it is simply "the appearance of an ancient 'private school teacher'."

"Do you see this talisman in my hand?" said Xuan Xu, holding up a drawn talisman in his hand.

"'Talisman', since ancient times, there have been many sects of talismans, but each worships its ancestor and is different, which is why the code of its talisman is also different. For example, the common "three hooks" on many runes are the marks that represent the Three Qings (Taishang Laojun, Yuan Shi Tianzun, Tongtian Sect Master) or the Three Realms Gong (City God, Land, Ancestor). The three hooks represent the three Qings on the whole symbol, and those under the edict and the name of the gods represent the Three Realms. When writing this "three hooks", you should secretly recite the mantra: "One stroke moves the world, two strokes of the ancestor sword, and three strokes of fierce gods and evil spirits go thousands of miles away." "One stroke and one sentence must be just right, which is the so-called "stepping on the talisman head".

In addition, the 'talisman head' also has an edict, a thunder order...... and so on as the head of the talisman, its variety, due to the different sects are different, generally please God, dispatch troops, many books to the "edict" as the head of the talisman. If there is no "three hooks" and three clear symbols, you must curse: "The sky is round and the place is round, the law is nine chapters, I write now, and ten thousand ghosts are hidden." That's it.

"The 'main god and Buddha' of the talisman I just said is like this one in my hand, that is, the talisman has the "three hooks" and three clear symbols, and that is because I sent the Qingwei lineage, which is all from and respects the 'Yuan Shi Tianzun'. Look at the "Thunder Order" here, that is, according to the order of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, the thunder god helps to eliminate ghosts and demons. Xuanxu said as he opened the box under him, took out a few pieces of yellow paper and a brush for Zhang Qiang, and said, "According to the talisman in my hand, learn to draw the talisman head first, and draw it with me." ”

After drawing more than a dozen times, Zhang Qiang finally drew a few talismans crookedly, and he also received several blows from Xuanxu during the period. Fortunately, Zhang Qiang insisted on drawing the complex spells on the 'Qingwei Mysterious Heart Method' when he was a child, otherwise he would have to draw it many more times. In addition, his physique at this time is good, and it can be regarded as the realm of "medicine", otherwise he would have been knocked unconscious.

"You kid is really not an ordinary stupid, and I don't know what Master Zu, Uncle Shi, and Senior Brother like about you. But it hurts me. Xuanxu sighed.

"Next is 'Fu Courage', you watch. took out a talisman and pointed at the 'talisman gall' on it, and continued to Zhang Qiang: "The talisman is the soul of a talisman and the master of the talisman.

Calligraphy like this is generally called the entry of the talisman gall, which means to invite the patriarch (god) to sit in this talisman and guard the portal of this talisman.

The common character is the word "Gang", there are also the word "well", there are also the word "horse", and the word "Hua" is too numerous to mention. All in all, the gall is made up of a combination of a number of secret characters.

"Then follow me and paint, don't sleep like this, let's be dead. Xuan Xuan said angrily at Zhang Qiang

Watching Xuanxu's pen walk the dragon and snake, and instantly drawing a talisman gall, Zhang Qiang's admiration spontaneously arises. He said: "Uncle Shi is really a rare genius of my school, and the speed of this talisman is too fast and chic. Before he finished speaking, he received another blow to the dust, and Zhang Qiang, who was in pain, quickly shut up.

"Paint me well, do you still want to 'eat dust'?" Xuanxu shouted.

This time it was only repeated five or six times, and Zhang Qiang had drawn a few talismans crookedly, the reason was that during this period, Zhang Qiang slowly recalled the talismans he had drawn since he was a child, which could be regarded as having been painted before, and he had a bit of a foundation. However, since I came here in the morning, I was always knocked on the head by Uncle Xuanxu, and at this time I only felt groggy and groggy, and I really felt like "going deep into hell": "Not to mention the pain and suffering, and this is just the beginning."

"The next thing I want to talk about is the 'Fu Belly', which is like the stomach of an abdomen, which is where we write the function of the charm; for example, the one I have been holding in my hand is clearly the function of 'Killing Evil', that is, asking the Thunder God to give him the power to get rid of evil spirits, eliminate ghosts and destroy demons. Speaking of which, my Wudang Mountain Qingwei Sect Shouqing Patriarch was named the "Chongyuan Thunder Envoy" by the Heavenly Realm, and he was proficient in the 'Thunder Secret'. Don't you know, the power of thunder can destroy the heavens and the earth, and it is very powerful to eliminate ghosts and demons!"

"The last is the 'talisman foot', which is used to end the talisman gall, to end the writing procedure of a talisman, it is like a person's foot, and if the painting is not good, the previous work will be lost. Boy, you're going to have to keep in mind for me. Xuan Xuan said solemnly.

"I'll draw it for you from beginning to end, and you'll show me carefully. Xuan Xuan said while holding a piece of yellow paper. Then I saw him holding a brush and dipping the cinnabar in a porcelain bowl next to him, just to see that he still forced away the dragon and snake, only to listen to the brush brush a few times, and the painting was done in one go. Then he pointed to the two boxes beside him and said to Zhang Qiang: "Boy, do you see this box next to me? Today, your study task is to finish drawing these charms on the yellow paper in the box according to this box with spells drawn." ”

"Uncle Shi, I, I'm too much, right?" Zhang Qiang was shocked.

Xuanxu didn't give Zhang Qiang a 'dust', just smiled and said: "My sect has ten kinds of runes of the five elements of yin and yang, which are remote and difficult, complex and distorted, even in other sects, there have always been few sects that are so complicated, you little boy want to learn the talisman spell of my faction, how can you do it without hard work?" After that, he seemed to think of something again, sighed slightly, and said, "Don't you want to think about it, if you don't work hard now, how can you learn my talisman spell well, the more complex this talisman is drawn, the more powerful it is." Xuan Xuan said with a smile.

"Okay, don't talk so much nonsense, you can draw me outside this cave. Call me again when the painting is finished, and I go into the cave to rest. Remember, you are not allowed to call me, you are not allowed to eat, and you are not allowed to slip away until you finish drawing. I have arranged for other teachers and nephews to keep an eye on you. Hehe" Xuanxu finished speaking, turned around and walked towards the cave

At this time, the clear and subtle entrance of the cave left only Zhang Qiang to draw these empty and boring spells over and over again...... Outside the cave was quiet, with the sound of brushing and the breeze blowing through the branches
