Chapter 34: Fu Cheng

Qi Huan spread out a long strip of yellow table paper on the white felt cloth, and then dipped a brush in cinnabar moistened with yin and yang water, concentrating calmly, first pressed the yellow table paper with the upper half of the talisman pen, and smoothed the paper from the bottom to the top.

One inch long and three inches wide yellow table paper, the top part is called the talisman head, the bottom is called the talisman tail, and the middle section is called the talisman or the talisman belly. Before Qi Huan put down the pen, he first reversed the talisman pen, poked the talisman head with the end of the pen, and read at the same time: "A little talisman is a heavenly soldier!"

Then use the end of the pen to point the end of the symbol: "The two-point symbol tail is terrifying!"

Finally, the pen was on the belly of the talisman and said: "Three points of divine soldiers are coming!"

After three o'clock, Qi Huan turned the talisman pen, first wrote a flower-style edict on the top of the talisman paper, and then picked three hooks under this edict, which is called stepping on the talisman head.

The three hooks of the talisman head are also very particular, and some talismans are first picked three points at the top of the talisman head, and then the edict or edict is written under the three points. This kind of three points above the imperial edict represents the Three Clears of the Law.

Among them, the left point represents the Lingbao Tianzun, the right point represents the moral Tianzun, and the middle point represents the Yuan Shi Tianzun. When picking these three points, you must also recite the mantra: "One stroke of heaven and earth is opened, two strokes of the ancestor sword, and three strokes of fierce gods and evil go thousands of miles!"

Qi Huan's harmony is not the ancestor of the Three Qing Dynasty, but the land prince, and the three points should be picked under the edict, representing the Three Realms, that is, the city god, the land and the ancestor.

The mantra does not use the above three clear formulas, but uses the mantra of the next pen: "The sky is round and the place is round, the nine chapters of the law, I write today, ten thousand ghosts are hidden, and the urgency is like the law!"

In addition, the three points under the edict sometimes do not all refer to the Three Realms, for example, the five thunder symbols are also the first three points under the edict, but they represent wind, fire, and thunder!

A long strip of area under the talisman head belongs to the belly of the talisman, and it is often drawn from the top of the word "order" of the edict on the talisman head, which is called the sword mound. The blank part in the middle of the sword mound is used to fill in the characters, mainly to explain the purpose of this talisman, that is, to explain the things that the gods and ghosts have done.

The same way, because of the different sects, the gods and ghosts invited are different, and the writing methods are also different. Qi Huan filled in the belly of the fu in accordance with the rules of Fengyang and Hefu, including the names of Qi Guodong and Zhao Chunmei and the eight characters of birthdate, all of which were written clearly in the belly of the fu one by one with the tip of the pen.

Step over the talisman head, fill the belly of the talisman, and finally bet on the talisman foot, that is, at the lowest end of the talisman, into the talisman gall. The so-called talisman has no courage and does not work, and the most important thing is to rely on the talisman gall that is staked.

The common talisman is the word "Gang", which is the first star of the Big Dipper, and it is also the star of the deployment of troops, so it is often bet on a Gang character when driving ghosts and gods.

When writing the word Gang, you also have to read the guts, generally with "Zi Chou Yin Mao" and other twelve earth branches, when writing is also to write a stroke, read a place branch name. These twelve earthly branches, representing the six dings and six jia, just command the divine generals and the yin soldiers.

Qi Huan's character is also a character in this symbol, but it is not a normal character of the character Gang, and the different characters are not only written differently, but also the formulas used are also different.

Qi Huan followed the penmanship, writing and reading: "One stroke of heaven and earth opens, one horizontal ancestor sword, one pierces ghosts and gods, turns left to move the heavens and the earth, turns right to the sun and the moon, two points through the heavens, and the divine soldiers are as urgent as the law!"

After writing this allogeneic character, Qi Huan pressed six more characters in a row. The flower character belongs to the most secret part of the talisman, and some people call it the secret gall, and its function is to further communicate with the main deity. The same symbol, after being pressed into the flower character, can often greatly improve its efficacy.

However, in general, the inheritance of the intricate characters is very rare, and it is all based on word of mouth between master and apprentice, and it is rarely seen in books and scriptures.

If anyone has looked at the Daozang, they will find that some of the scriptures record the runes with black bumps painted on some places.

Those black bumps are the dense bile, and the reason why they become a black bump is because when the flower characters are pressed, they are in the same position, and the different flower words are superimposed one by one.

Just like Qi Huan's talisman, six consecutive flower characters are pressed on the talisman, and naturally the allogeneous character that was written first is also painted into a red bump.

In addition, when the rhyme is written, it also needs to be combined with the spell grammar formula, which is also the core of the secret of the various runes.

Pressed into the last flower, Qi Huan turned the talisman pen, poked it with the end of the pen towards the position of the talisman gall, and said loudly that it was another "edict" word, and a harmony was completed.

The whole process of drawing talismans requires one go, not only can the talisman pen in the hand not stop, but also the corresponding mantra mantra must be recited silently in the mouth at each step.

Even if you are a very experienced talisman, before preparing a new talisman, you have to practice it repeatedly in advance, so that when you are really writing a talisman, you can reach it with your hands and mouth, and most importantly, your heart!

The so-called heart to refer to those high-level talisman masters, who can also visualize the main deity when writing the talisman, and achieve a state of induction through visualization, so as to further enhance the utility of the talisman.

Qi Huan has the blessing of his grandfather's experience, and there is no problem with the cooperation of his hands and mouth, and he can even mention the visualization a little.

The only thing is that the control of the finger muscles is not yet able to reach the realm of arbitrariness.

To put it bluntly, the control of the brush is not proficient, and the pen is often the mind, but because the finger muscles do not match, the brush is not beautiful enough.

Fortunately, these are all minor parts and do not really affect the utility of the symbols.

The only thing is that it's a pity that my grandfather has a good hand, and when I came to Qi Huan, I didn't have the slightest sense of urgency to practice calligraphy.

In Qi Huan's opinion, no matter how good the runes are, they are not bad to use, the key is the speed of drawing the runes, the more focused the drawing runes, the more they can be done in one go, and the better the effect.

A harmony, Qi Huan got it in less than a minute. Glancing at the quartz clock on the wall, there were still ten minutes to reach eleven o'clock, mainly because the previous meditation time was not long enough.

Qi Huan muttered to himself: It's about whether my parents can be happy in the second half of their lives, but you must not be hasty.

First, this is the first time he has drawn a talisman after all, and he has no bottom in his heart about the effect, and secondly, there are many deficiencies in the preparation work ahead, and it is difficult to guarantee that the one he just drew can completely break the breaking power of the dashing talisman.

Fortunately, there is still plenty of time, so let's just have a few more, which is called winning by quantity!

Qi Xiaozu made up his mind, did not delay for a moment, spread five yellow table paper side by side on the white felt cloth, dipped the talisman pen in cinnabar, and while the pen walked the dragon and snake, while reciting the words, in a moment, he drummed out five talismans.

Coupled with the first one drawn, a total of six harmony symbols, Qi Xiaozu compared 666 to his parents in his heart, and then put down the talisman pen.

Qi Huan turned his head and saw that Li Qi was watching very attentively on the side, and he didn't mind, so he beckoned her to come over and clean up the mess on the table.
