Chapter 410: Soul Attraction
"The refreshment of the heart is the soul; How can the soul be gone? β
Taoist spiritualism is a kind of magic widely spread by Taoism, the origin of this kind of saying can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty, according to the Zhou Dynasty literature records in the folk began to have a soul called "Guan Death" This kind of activity to summon spirits, the ancient name of the Fu, is the meaning of the soul rejuvenation.
There is a description of the conjuring of spirits in "Chu Ci: The Conjuring", and the conjuring people tell the soul that the four corners of heaven and earth are not a place for the soul to rest, and only by returning to the hometown can they get rest.
However, spiritualism is not limited to the deceased, but is also used in sacrifices, divination, and the loss of the soul of a baby.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Taoism arose, and there was a spiritualism for the purpose of seeking immortality. As a result, the popular folk spiritualism ritual gradually developed into Taoist rituals, with a complete set of spells, and the spiritualist spell and spiritualist ritual are also one of the many Taoist spells.
After the finalization of the spiritualist spell, the Taoist priest's walking, living, sitting and lying down, especially in the religious activities of Zhaijiao, all stipulate the ritual procedures.
The holding of the spiritualist ceremony is very solemn, it is necessary to choose an auspicious day of the zodiac, and prepare altars, incense candles, guide rice, dark money, banners, talismans and other utensils.
Taoist priests have rules for their robes, tools, utensils, accommodation, bedding, eating, drinking, ordination, repentance, worship, burning incense, reading scriptures, fasting, etc.
When the ritual is held, the altar is set up, the offering, the incense, the altar, the chanting, the sΓ©ance, the welcome, etc., are carried out by the Taoist priests such as Gao Gong, Du Speaking, Supervising the Zhai Sutra, Serving the Incense, Serving the Lamp, etc., and the Taoist priest reports his birthday, Dharma position, music and scattered flowers, singing steps and empty words, etc., and the ceremony is solemn and solemn.
The altar Jiao ritual includes praying, dying, prolonging life, releasing vows, sacrificing loss, solving stars, town houses, breaking ropes, undulating corpses, resolving grievances, summoning lonely souls, birthday lights, prolonging life lamps, asking for scriptures, receiving offerings, sending funerals, sending ghosts, cleaning houses, and confessions.
And the most difficult of them all is the art of conjuring spirits.
Nowadays, the art of conjuring spirits that is circulated among the people is all false, and only Lou Guan Dao, as the true legend of Taoism, masters this spell.
Xuanyuan Dao Chang is well versed in this way, although the conditions in the Lanruo Temple are simple at this time, he still sets up a mourning hall in the main hall in front of the Buddha, and lets the rest of the people leave the main hall and stay in the hall to cast spells.
He stepped on the seven stars, and according to the Taoist classic "Yun Ji Qi Zhi Ministry", the seven star lamps lit a candle to channel spirits and let the souls of the deceased return to their hometowns.
This candle flame is made of cold jade from the North Sea, the exterior is crystal clear, and the interior is full of powerful masculinity, which is most suitable for conjuring spirits.
Xuanyuan Dao Elder took out the seven-star lamp, lit it and inserted it into the ground array eye, silently reciting the secret soul summoning spell of Louguan Dao in his mouth.
"Wandering souls, where to stay; The three souls descended early, and the seven orifices did not come; False alarm lawsuits, lost true souls. The five ways of the mountain god are today, and the general of the road is ...... Collect the soul and possess the body, and help the spirit. The gate of heaven was opened, and the door of the earth was opened, and the boy was ordered to send the soul. Taishang Laojun is as anxious as a law! β
Every time he shouted a spell, the array flags on the ground flickered, as if they were resonating with the seven-star lanterns.
As he recited the incantation over and over again, a wisp of purple smoke slowly emerged from the seven-star lamp, wafting up, gradually condensing, forming a purple lotus flower in mid-air, slowly turning, releasing a refreshing fragrance.
Seeing this scene, Xuanyuan's eyes flashed, and he waved the dust, and shouted in his mouth: "Break!" β
When the words fell, the seven-star lamp shook violently, the purple light dissipated in the air, and the purple lotus that was originally suspended in mid-air turned into a ball of purple qi and merged into Yan Chixia's eyebrows.
Xuanyuan then sat cross-legged, closed his eyes to recuperate, and after a while, he opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to pinch the formula, and recited the mantra silently in his mouth.
"The sky is clear and the earth is clear, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, yin and yang converge, yin and yang, complementary blending, five elements regulation, gossip evolution ......"
With his mantra, the mark on his forehead suddenly brightened, and a layer of golden light diffused from the mark, shining on Yan Chixia's corpse in front of him.
He pinched out all kinds of formulas with both hands, and there were words in his mouth.
At this time, everyone suddenly smelled a rich sandalwood fragrance, which had a strong bitter and astringent taste, spreading in the air, making people can't help frowning.
Seeing this, Liu Haichan's face suddenly changed, and he blurted out: "This is Dansha." β
Dansha has many functions, it can cure diseases, it can also make poisons, and even drugs, and its most important role is - to attract souls!
Soul attraction, as the name suggests, is to guide the deceased out of the body.
In that year, the Qin State destroyed the six countries, slaughtered millions of cities, bleed and drifted, and corpses were everywhere.
And King Yingzheng of Qin, when he was inspecting the old land of the Six Kingdoms, happened to be poisoned by someone and contracted a vicious disease.
Therefore, with the efforts of the imperial doctors of the Qin State, Dansha was used as a guide to configure a soul-attracting soup to save the life of King Yingzheng of Qin.
It's just that after King Qin took the medicine, he still couldn't wake up, leaving countless famous doctors helpless.
In the end, it was a monk who proposed to mix the dansha with mercury, supplemented by several precious materials, and use the soul seduction technique in the pre-Qin Fang to go to the underworld to bring back the soul of the Qin king.
It's a pity that in the end, because of Zhang Liang's assassination of Qin, that magic technique fell short in the end, and the First Emperor died in the Dune Palace after all.
The soul-attracting technique that Xuanyuan performed this time was inherited from this technique, but it was much inferior to the original performance of the pre-Qin alchemists.
The soul-attracting technique he used at this time could only barely pull Yan Chixia's remnant soul, and it was extremely difficult.
The mark on his forehead is the medium through which he performs this method.
I saw that the mark shimmered with golden light, brighter and brighter, brighter and brighter, and finally turned into a small sun, shining brightly in the temple.
Suddenly, the sigil burst into a dazzling glow, dispelling the darkness around it.
And at this moment, Yan Chixia's corpse suddenly trembled slightly.
Suddenly, there was an explosion above his head, and the eardrums of everyone who were shocked buzzed, and a trace of bright red blood overflowed from the corner of Xuanyuan's mouth, and he looked up at the top of the hall.
Two bricks and tiles on the roof of the hall fell down, revealing a small hole, and a cold air blew into the main hall from the small hole, and the temperature in the main hall plummeted.
Xuanyuan's face changed slightly, and he immediately shouted to the outside of the hall: "Close the door of the palace." β
With that, he took out another bronze sword from his sleeve, bit his fingertips, and dripped a few drops of blood, which fell on the blade.
The bronze sword suddenly bloomed with dazzling light, like day.
Xuanyuan stood in place with his sword in his hand, silently reciting the mantra in his mouth, drawing a circle on his chest with the sword in his right hand, and pinching out a mantra with his left hand and hitting the seven-star lamp.
Suddenly, the seven-star lamp trembled violently, as if resisting his urging.
Xuanyuan let out a low roar, and the true qi of his whole body poured into the bronze sword, the light of the bronze sword skyrocketed instantly, and the trembling of the seven-star lamp intensified, and finally with a 'bang', it actually shattered.
