Chapter 5: Opening the Altar Talisman

Being in this isolated Taoist temple makes Chen Xuan feel that this kind of life is idle and fulfilling, and it would be great if he could ensure that his life is not pretended.

Unfortunately, as time passed, the rice noodles in the view were gradually eaten up.

The bacon and dried fish hanging in the kitchen have already been eaten, and it is time to go down the mountain to buy something.

On this day, after Chen Xuan finished breakfast, he and Yuyang came to the main hall, today he is going to try to draw talismans, and then whether it succeeds or not, he will go down the mountain tomorrow to have a look.

In the past ten days, he has not dared to waste a few cinnabar and rune paper, and this is the first time he has officially drawn a talisman.

He first put the ritual utensils on the offering table in order and placed them on the periphery, and placed pen and ink, cinnabar, yellow paper, etc. in the center.

Then he sat cross-legged on a futon and recited the mantra of purifying the heart, mouth, and body to concentrate on it, get rid of distracting thoughts, and purify the body and mind.

Get up and recite the mantra of the land god to summon the land god of the four directions to protect the altar, after reciting it, naturally there is no mountain god land, but it can also reach the heaven and earth to attract righteous qi to support.

This kind of method is not found in the "Fengdao Science Ceremony", but he added it himself according to the cognition of his previous life.

Next, Chen Xuan lit the incense candle, picked up three incense sticks, recited the incense mantra, lit it with the candle flame, put it in the incense burner, and prayed:

"Tianlang Qiqing, Sanguang Dongming, Jinfang Jade Room, Wuzhi Baosheng, Xuanhuang Zisu, come to reflect my shape, golden boy and jade girl, give me a spirit, Jiuqi rises together, three lights are the same, floating purple cover, ascending into the underworld, urgent as the law."

Suddenly, he felt that he and the whole hall seemed to merge into one, and everything around him was in his perception.

The Taiyuan Daozun and the two golden boys and girls who are enshrined on the high platform are like a signal tower that has been opened, communicating with the heaven and earth qi of the outside world.

This qi machine circulated in the main hall, and when it flowed through the magic weapons on the offering table and the bodies of Chen Xuan and Yuyang, some of them flowed out again, and some of them remained in their bodies.

Feeling this, a trace of enlightenment rose in his heart, and he said secretly: "No wonder Master always says that the talisman and the altar method are the real inheritance in the view."

Cultivating with the power of the Dharma altar with the help of heaven and earth qi is really one heaven and one underground compared to ordinary methods. ”

After carefully understanding this magical feeling, Chen Xuan remembered today's purpose.

He also recited the golden light mantra and summoned the golden light to protect the body.

"Heaven and Earth Xuanzong, Wan Qi Root;

Extensive cultivation of ten thousand tribulations, proving my supernatural powers;

Inside and outside the Three Realms, only the Tao is the only one;

There is a golden light in my body, covering my body;

……

The wisdom of the hole is thorough, and the five Qi are soaring;

The golden light appeared quickly, covering my body.

Haste as a law. ”

As soon as he finished reciting the first few sentences, his internal qi turned into a little golden light and swam in his body, and with an order, a faint layer of golden light was born all over his body.

This made Chen Xuan overjoyed, he didn't react to chanting mantras every day before, he thought that these eight divine mantras couldn't work at all in this world, but now it seems that he didn't practice them right.

The mantra is not just a matter of reciting it, it seems that I will have to think about how to practice it in the future.

After making up his mind, he didn't think much about it, and held his breath and prepared to start drawing.

Picked up the talisman pen and swiped it through the green smoke on the incense, and incused:

"The spirit of the magic pen, enlighten the heaven and the earth, my book seal, fly to the ten directions, the clouds and thunder, the fast descent to the spiritual field, urgent as the law."

After the spell was completed, the golden light in his body and the qi in the hall instantly flowed into the talisman and gathered on the pen.

Then he licked the cinnabar ink with his pen and cursed:

"God Zhu Hehe, the yang essence shines brightly, the three Qi become fire, the seven Qi become the platform, I am now transformed, the light is too small, and the urgency is like a law."

The cinnabar licked by the talisman pen suddenly emitted a brilliant vermilion light, filling with yang essence and fire.

Chen Xuan paused slightly, and cursed: "The sky is round and the place is round, the nine chapters of the law, I will write now, and ten thousand ghosts are hidden." ”

At the same time, on the rune paper of the town, the "edict" is used as the symbol, and the book is a ghost-hunting talisman in an instant.

The mouth cursed: "Heaven and earth, wind and thunder, water and volcanoes, surround the sky and shake the earth, catch ghosts and collect sperm, open the gate of heaven, close the door, keep people in the door, plug the ghost road, wear the ghost heart, break the ghost belly, catch and tie up urgently!" ”

Then he took a breath of heaven and earth qi and the golden light in his body spurted violently on the talisman, and in an instant, a burst of fire suddenly rose on the rune paper of the yellow Zhu Zhang, and then all converged in the talisman.

Looking at the steaming rune paper, Chen Xuan was extremely satisfied, and sure enough, there was a real skill in it that could be achieved in an instant.

Taking advantage of the feeling of hand, he wrote a few charms to ward off evil spirits, catch demons, and dispel diseases and other healing and life-saving charms in accordance with the law.

When he felt that there was not much golden light left in his body, he burned incense and told heaven and earth to relieve the altar.

Yuyang did not practice internal qi, and at the same time, he was not the person who opened the altar, so he could only faintly feel the changes in the qi around him, and when he opened his eyes, he asked expectantly: "Senior brother, have you succeeded?" ”

"It's finished." Chen Xuan washed the pen and ink with clean water, put it on the pen holder and drained it, picked up a few talismans that he had drawn, shook them, handed them to him, and said, "These are all real talismans that are like fakes." ”

Yuyang took it in his hand and touched it, and found that the rune paper in his hand had become much tougher, and the still rough surface seemed to be shining with a layer of light, and different rune paper would give him different feelings.

The evil charm is warm, the ghost hunting charm is fierce, the demon hunting charm is like a snare, the disease charm is clear and so on.

He shouted happily: "Great, senior brother! ”

Previously, he always heard the master say that the senior brother had no Taoist fate and could not learn his true skills, so he could only pin his hopes on him.

Unexpectedly, after the senior brother was smashed on the head, he actually opened his mind.

Chen Xuan put away the talisman and said, "Let's go down the mountain tomorrow to have a look, buy some things, and then clean up and see what things to bring, and save the province in a hurry tomorrow morning." ”

"Good!"

The two of them came to the East House, picked up a green brick in the corner under the desk, and pulled out a jar with a mouth in it.

After opening, pour out some copper coins with round square holes and a few pieces of broken silver from inside.

Chen Xuan picked up a copper coin and looked at it, with the words "Da Yongtong Bao" written on one side and blank on the other side.

This is the copper coin minted after the founding of the Dayong Dynasty, as far as he knows, now one or two silver can be exchanged for a thousand copper coins.

A pound of rice costs 4 yuan, a pound of coarse salt costs 20 yuan, and a pound of high-quality pork is equivalent to coarse salt.

Counted, there are 563 copper coins, 5 pieces of silver of different sizes, according to the experience of the predecessor, there are about 3 taels and 4 points of weight, which is 3400 Wen.

Although it is less than five taels of silver, according to today's prices, this money can be used to support the brothers and sisters for a while.

Next, Chen Xuan found another bamboo basket and packed all kinds of magic utensils, scriptures, bamboo slips and other valuables into it one by one.

Bamboo basket is a very delicate back box made of bamboo, about three feet high, two feet wide, and one foot six inches thick, which is specially used by the master to walk the rivers and lakes.

It is divided into several small spaces, which are used to store different types of items, and there are people sitting on it, and when the predecessor went out with the master when he was a child, he sat on it, and there is a small shed for shade.

In the afternoon, Chen Xuan used the remaining flour to add some greens and chives to make a few scallion oil pies, and found two gourds filled with cold boiled water, waiting to take them on the road tomorrow to eat.

When he practiced longevity gong at night, he could clearly feel that the breath in his body would flow with his movements, and he would grow a little stronger after practicing it again.
